The High Priest of Dagon in Babylon wore hats that represented the open mouth of the fish, as if it were placed upon their heads - and the fish's body was seen extending from that head and mouth, down the priest's back to form a “robe”. These exact priestly garments adorn the ranks of the Christian Clergy. "The two-horned mitre, which the Pope wears, when he sits on the high altar at Rome and receives the adoration of the Cardinals, is the very mitre worn by the priests of Dagon, the fish-god of the Philistines and Babylonians." - The Two Babylons ; Alexander Hislop; p. 215 Not only does the Pope wear this "Mitre" hat, but so do the Cardinals on certain occasions when they are dressed in their royal regalia… a far cry from the suffering servant YaHUshUa the Messiah and what he taught. These “priests” of Dagon today known as The Pope, Cardinals, and Bishops have elevated their station literally to Royalty among men. There is nothing in The Word of YaHUaH or the historical record indicating that The Messiah YaHUshUa ever wore such a hat or created such a priestly High Class of royalty. "...there are strong evidences that Dagon was Nimrod.... All scholars agree that the name and worship of Dagon were imported from Babylonia." - The Two Babylons, Hislop, p. 215 "In their veneration and worship of Dagon, the high priest of paganism would actually put on a garment that had been created from a huge fish! The head of the fish formed a mitre above that of the old man, while its scaly, fan-like tail fell as a cloak behind, leaving the human limbs and feet exposed." - Babylon and Nineveh, Austen Henry Layard, p. 343 "The most prominent form of worship in Babylon was dedicated to Dagon, later known as Ichthys, or the fish. In Chaldean times, the head of the church was the representative of Dagon, he was considered to be infallible, and was addressed as ‘Your Holiness’. Nations subdued by Babylon had to kiss the ring and slipper of the Babylonian god-king. The same powers and the same titles are claimed to this day by the Dalai Lama of Buddhism, and the Pope. Moreover, the vestments of paganism, the fish mitre and robes of the priests of Dagon are worn by the Catholic bishops, cardinals and popes. The Wine of Babylon; Pg 9 Remember in The Word of YaHUaH we are forbidden to have any graven images including that of a FISH or a CROSS. It is commanded to have NO GRAVEN IMAGES at all of any kind period. YaHUaH forbid such idols because over time we would eventually forget their true origins and buy into lies...
