Jewish John the Baptist stolen from Anup, baptizer of Horus; both lost their heads.
⚔️ THE CLAIM:
It is claimed that John the Baptist was “stolen” from the Egyptian figure Anup (or Anubis)—supposedly a “baptizer” of Horus—and that both were beheaded.
This claim is popularized in modern Egyptology-influenced occult circles, but collapses under scrutiny through the Sword of the Spirit.
📖 WHO WAS JOHN THE BAPTIST (KJV)?
“For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord...”
— Matthew 3:3
-
John was a Levite, born of Zacharias and Elisabeth (Luke 1)
-
Filled with the Holy Ghost from the womb (Luke 1:15)
-
Baptized in the Jordan River as a symbol of repentance (Matt. 3:6)
-
He identified Jesus as the Lamb of God (John 1:29)
-
Was beheaded by Herod, not for ritual, but for calling out sin (Matt. 14)
🏺 WHO IS ANUP (ANUBIS)?
-
Egyptian jackal-headed god of embalming and the dead
-
Overseer of the weighing of the heart in the afterlife
-
Protector of tombs, associated with mummification
-
No direct evidence he ever “baptized” anyone
The idea of Anubis baptizing Horus is not found in any authentic Egyptian text. This New Age revision emerged post-1800s as part of Freemasonic syncretism and the Blavatsky occult revival.
❌ WHY THIS CLAIM FAILS
-
Anubis was a god, not a man.
John the Baptist was a prophet, a man who served the living God.
-
No ancient texts describe Anubis baptizing Horus.
This is a modern fabrication rooted in spiritual deception.
-
John’s beheading was due to his bold preaching of righteousness—not myth or ritual.
“And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
— Matthew 3:2
🔥 SATAN’S MOTIVE
The Accuser of the Brethren attempts to:
-
Erase God’s forerunner (John) who prepared the way for Christ
-
Merge the Gospel with pagan necromancy
-
Undermine repentance, baptism, and holiness
But the Word of God is not broken, and the blood of the prophets still speaks.
“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.”
— John 1:6
✅ VERDICT
-
John the Baptist is not derived from Anubis or any Egyptian lore
-
Anubis is a false god of the dead—John was a prophet of repentance and truth
-
The so-called parallels are fraudulent, modern occult inventions
“He must increase, but I must decrease.”
— John 3:30
John served the Lamb of God, not the gods of the dead.
