  The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria
The position of Merodach as sun-god is confirmed by the small lapis-lazuli relief found by the German expedition at the mound known as Amran ibn 'Ali, as he also carries a staff and a ring, and his robe is covered with ornamental circles, showing, in all probability, his solar nature.
Merodach is accompanied by a large two-horned dragon, whilst Hadad has a small winged dragon, typifying the swiftness of his course, and another animal, both of which he holds with cords.
Merodach, first-born son of the Abyss, It is thine to purify and glorify.

The forsaking of the worship of Ea as chief god for that of Merodach seems to have caused considerable heartburning in Babylonia, if we may judge from the story of the Flood, for it was on account of his faithfulness that Utnipistim, the Babylonian Noah, attained to salvation from the Flood and immortality afterwards.
As identified with Aruru, the goddess who helped Merodach to create mankind, Istar was also regarded as the mother of all, and in the Babylonian story of the Flood, she is made to say that she had begotten man, but like "the sons of the fishes," he filled the sea.
In the sixth tablet of the Creation-series, it is related of Merodach that, after creating the heavens and the stations for Anu, Bel, and Ae, "He built firmly the stations of the great gods-- Stars their likeness--he set up the /Lumali/, He designated the year, he outlined the (heavenly) forms.

Then comes the story of the struggle between the gods of light and the powers of darkness, and the final victory of Merodach, who clove Tiamat asunder, forming the heaven out of one half of her body and the earth out of the other.
Merodach next arranged the stars in order, along with the sun and moon, and gave them laws which they were never to transgress.
After this the plants and animals were created, and finally man. Merodach here takes the place of Ea, who appears as the creator in the older legends, and is said to have fashioned man out of the clay.

 Merodach
Merodach is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
The dragon is said by the Chinese to be able to affect climate, producing droughts, rain, etc., a direct reference to the astral light in its cyclic workings upon earth; in history, the human application of the dragon is made to magicians of the fourth or early fifth root-race.
He is equivalent to the Hindu Budha, the Zoroastrian Mithra, the Babylonian Nebo -- son of Zarpa-Nitu (moon) and Merodach (sun) -- and the Egyptian Thoth with the ibis for his emblem; also to Enoch and the Roman Mercurius, son of Coelus and Lux (heaven and light).

The god asked simply that an "unchangeable command" might be given to him--that whatever he ordained should without fail come to pass, in order that he might destroy the common enemy.
Something, however, seems to have been done with Merodach's net--probably it was placed in the heavens as a constellation, as was his bow, to which several names were given.

 BAAL (1)
The shrine of Merodach therein, which was called E-kua, is said by Nebuchadrezzar to have been magnificently decorated, and into the temple itself that king had caused to be brought many costly gifts, acquired by him in the lands over which he had dominion.
Samsuiluna, his son, in his 6th year, placed a "praying statue" in E-sagila before Merodach, followed, in his 8th, by the dedication of some bright-shining object (mace?) of gold and silver, to the god; and on that occasion it is stated that he made E-sagila to shine like the stars of heaven.
Dedicated as it was to the gods whom they worshipped, and chiefly to the glory of Merodach, the representative of Babylonian monotheism, the Babylonians’ descendants, the native Christians, have no reason to remember this erection of their forefathers with shame, but rather with pride.

 Babylonian and Assyrian myths - Ishtar and Merodach
The moon god (a chief male divinity in the Assyrian Pantheon) was greatly troubled, as was Bel, at the failure of his attempt to reform the heavens.
The remainder of this fragment is lost, but it doubtless contained the story of the victory of the dauntless Merodach, son of Hea, over the seven evil spirits.
We must wait the discovery of the missing fragments before we can learn whether the deities who abetted them were punished like the gods in the parallel Greek myth, by being thrown “sheer o’er the crystal battlements,” or swung dangling out of heaven by a golden chain.

A.K.A. Marduk, Bel Merodach was the Mesopotamian god of thunderstorms and a fertility god.

As the people who made Succoth-benoth were Babylonians, we should expect here either a name of Merodach, the god of Babylon, or one of the deities identified with him.
ban'(i) mati, "creator of the land." Both the Semitic and the bilingual creation-stories speak of Merodach as the creator of the world, with its products, and the great cities of Babylonia; and "father Enlil," who bore the title "lord of the world," bestowed the same upon Merodach at the creation, thus identifying Merodach with himself.
Now there is a group which may be read either Dikut, "the Judge," or Sakut, "the Counselor," and if we can read Succoth-benoth as Sakut(h)ban' wat(h), "the Counselor, creator of the land," a satisfactory explanation of this puzzling name will be furnished.
