Enki and Enlil, as many of you will know, are the warring, half-brother gods of the ancient Sumerians. Enki was the elder brother, but the son of King Anu and his consort. Enlil was the younger brother, but the son of Anu and his wife.
This second-son narrative is familiar to any student of the Old Testament. Time and again, Yahweh shines favor on the second son. Though not the topic of this post, this is one of the key indicators that Enlil later becomes Yahweh of the OT.
To make a very long story short, Enki is sent to Earth by his father to lead the expedition to mine gold for the Anunnaki. Enki is a scientist and not a great hierarchical leader. Soon the vital project falls behind and Anu sends Enlil, a trained military leader, to sure up the project. The two brothers quickly come into conflict. However, their conflict is put on hold when the Igigi (Anunnaki commoners) who are working in the mines revolt against the brothers. They are tired of the centuries of working the hard labor of a gold mine.
Enki proposes a solution to Enlil and Anu. He has noted the Neanderthal creatures that are indigenous to Earth. He proposes cross-breeding them with the Anunnaki. The goal is to make them smart enough to run the mines, but not smart enough to question the Anunnaki rule over them. After much debate and ethical soul-searching, the plan is agreed to and the experimental breeding program begins. Eventually, modern human beings are the result.
With that problem solved, Enlil and Enki go back to their fighting. The human beings become the center of their conflict. Enlil views them as mere worker slaves, demands their worship, and denies their sentience. Slowly, Enki comes to see the humans as more and becomes morally uncomfortable with keeping them enslaved and uneducated. He begins to share technology (the basics of civilization) with the humans against the wishes of Anu and Enlil.
Viewing the experiment as failed and annoyed by the vileness of the humans, Enlil convinces the Council of Gods led by his father to destroy humanity in a great deluge. All members of the Council are sworn to secrecy. However, Enki betrays his oath Atrahasis (known later to the world as Noah) and instructs him on how to build a boat to save the seed of his creation and other creatures upon the earth.
Giving humanity knowledge had placed Enki in hot water, but when his complicity with Atrahasis is discovered he is basically disowned by his brother and his father and declared to be in open rebellion against them. Despite his disdain for the humans, Enlil is ordered to re-establish firm Anunnaki control over humanity.
By the time this story travels a thousand miles across the desert and a couple of thousand years, landing in the Book of Genesis, Enki has become fully demonized as serpent in the garden. His desire to give humanity knowledge is demonized as the first sin agains Yahweh (Enlil) who is now establishing firm control again over the earth and over the narrative.
In my next article, I”ll discuss how the battle between Enlil and Enki flows into today’s headlines and how you can know each of them by their fruits.

THE WAY I UNDERSTAND THIS : ANU OR AN IS THE SUPREME FATHER GOD, THE ULTIMATE CREATOR OF HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
ENKI IS THE ADMINISTRATOR AND RULER OF EARTH, WAS CALLED LUCIFER .THE ONE IN CHARGE OF DINOSAURS BEFORE, HE REBELLED TRIED TO DO A COUP D’ETAT IN HEAVEN TOGETHER WITH HIS MINIONS 1/3 OF ANGELIC BEINGS POPULATION. BUT THEY WERE DEFEATED AND WAS CAST OUT BACK TO EARTH AND LIKE A HUGE LIGHTNING ASTEROID, HE FELL ON EARTH CAUSING HAVOC ON PLANET EARTH RESULTING IN THE EXTINCTION OF ALL DINOSAURS. , HE THEN WAS CALLED SATAN THE DEVIL, HE ALWAYS COME IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING BUT IN REALITY HE IS THE GREAT DECEIVER .
ENLIL IS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF OUTER SPACE OR HEAVEN. HE IS YAHWEH THE GOD OF ISRAEL, HE BECAME MAN AND WAS CALLED YESHUA THE MESSIAH , THE CHRIST WHO SUFFERED AND DIED, AFTER 3DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS HE CONQUERED DEATH AND WAS RESURRECTED TO RETURN TO HIS GLORIOUS STATE. HE WENT BACK TO HEAVEN TO PREPARE THE WAY. HE WILL SOON COME BACK TO EARTH TO FINALLY ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM OR GOVT. OF GOD ON EARTH FOR 1000 YEARS , THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY TOGETHER WITH ALL HIS SAINTS THEY WILL RULE …
You’re obviously very knowledgeable, Michael. We are in agreement about who Enlil and Enki are perceived to be today. As Napoleon said, “History is written by the victors.” Clearly, our history has been written by an Enlilite world view. He is the founder of the three western monotheisms that all revere him.
I get into this quite a bit in Book 1 and will dive in further in Book 2, but my view is that Enki was condemned by Enlil and the other gods (all small g and likely ET) for time and again helping humanity against the wishes of the others. By the time we get down to Genesis 1000 miles and 2000 years later, the story has been mythologized into Enki acting as an agent of rebellion against God and being the deceiver.
For me at least, this view only works when you take the side of the Enlil version of humanity that comes down to us today through the three western monotheisms. If you step back and take the human point of view, he is the one trying to liberate and enlighten us from the tyrannical and false rule of his brother over humanity.
Neither of them are cosmic entities battling over the fate of the universe. They are advanced beings battling over a vision for their creation. One sees us as slave-like beings here only to serve and worship him. The other sees us as sentient beings who, with a little knowledge, can become all we’re capable of.
It turns the orthodoxy on its head, I know. That’s where my many years of research have led me and path my books are taking.
In Book 2, I get into Yeshua’s role.
