'BEL' was another name for Nibiru/Marduk/Ashur/RA/YHWH

The name Bel is Babylonian; Ashur is Assyrian; RA is Egyptian; Nibiru is Sumerian; Marduk is Babylonian; YHWH is Hebrew.  The ancient Celtic peoples used the name Bel quite often in naming place locations and people. All inference is to the same 'god/planet', but the identifying name keeps changing depending on the people and nation. Moreover, could the name change be due to the Astrological Age in which the Earth was in at the time. The Ode to Bel [below] contains many characteristics of the Age of Taurus. The characteristics of YHWH seem to mirror the pattern set for the Age of Aries. Does a new god arrive on Earth commencing with the start of a new Age, thus to usher in each new Age? Jesus, who originated somewhere around 3 BCE to 3 CE, epitomizes all the characteristics of the Age of Pisces. Who will be the new god/goddess that ushers in the upcoming Age of Aquarius? Yes, it could be a goddess this time - let's hope she/he will be a fair and just god/goddess. Scholars agree that the great Ages last for about 2160 years. This may or may not be absolutely correct -  the length of the Ages could be fewer years.
