[35] Genesis, 14:18.
[36] The following three Armenian words will show what they believed
before the Christian religion was introduced into the country:
(_a_) _Asd-u-adz_ means God, and is made up of _asd_ and _adz_--“here”
and “He brought,” namely--God is the one who brought us here.
(_b_) _Mart_=man, is composed _Mi_=no or not, _art_=now or the
present-meaning not for the present. The man is made for the future or
hereafter.
(_c_) _Mah_=death, _mi_=no or _not_, _ah_=fear. Death in Armenian meant
no fear. Shows belief in the hereafter.
[37] A sample of the polytheistic Babylonian’s prayer:
“May the god whom I know not be appeased!
May the goddess whom I know not be appeased!
May both the god I know and the god I know not be appeased!”
