The image above is also taken from the Masonic Bible. Look closely at the carved statues
at the right side of the steps leading up to the Temple. Following is a close-up of what is
depicted.

Nimrod, Winged Bull

Nowhere in the Bible do we find any description of winged bulls with the head of a man
forming part of the facade of Solomon’s Temple. Where then does this image come from?
In Alexander Hislop’s classic book The Two Babylons, he shows an image of this same
winged bull, and he gives the following account of its origin and meaning.

There was another way in which Nimrod’s power was symbolised besides by the horn. A
synonym for Gheber, “The Mighty One,” was “Abir,” while “Aber” also signified “a wing.”
Nimrod as head and captain of those men of war, by whom he surrounded himself, and
who were the instruments of establishing his power, was “Baal-Aberin,” “Lord of the
Mighty Ones.” But “Baal-Abirin” (pronounced in nearly the same way) signified “The
Winged One,” and therefore in symbol he was represented not only as a horned bull, but
as at once a horned and winged bull - as showing not merely that he was mighty himself,
but that he had mighty ones under his command who were ever ready to carry his will
into effect.

This symbol of Nimrod was copied by other kings of Mesopotamia, and images of it are still
existing to this day among the ancient ruins. Satan, the great deceiver is seeking to convince
