Tim Constantine (66:26)
But yeah, this is. Yeah, it's cyclical. I think these. It comes in waves and culture picks up on this. You got all these pop stars in our lifetime who get up and do rituals to these. These. These female entities. I mean, you could just watch a montage of like super bowl shows like Madonna, Beyonce, definitely Katy Perry. I want to circle back to that. They're. They're paying homage to this female entity. And I, like I said, I think there's two, because there's two mentioned in the Bible. And then we see two mentioned in the oldest myths that we have on this planet, or planet, or whatever it is. You've got Ishtar and LILITH. And in 1972, I think it was. That was the second wave of feminine. They seem to bring Lilith into that situation and equate Lilith with feminine, with feminism also, similarly with the Trans stuff that we've seen in our lifetime pop up. Trans wasn't a temple of Ishtar practice. Trans goes all the way back to the Uruk. And the oldest hymns of. Of Ishtar Nana, they praised her for, you know, being able to turn men into women and women into men. So this stuff just kind of comes in in waves. And I got some verses here where this is mentioned in scripture. And this isn't every verse, but there's a couple I've got. First Samuel seven, three, four. If you mean to return to God with all your heart, you must remove the alien gods and the Asheroth. Don't worship Ishtar. If you want to return to God with all your heart and remove the alien gods, like, you know, you could have some fun dissecting this verse, right? Jeremiah 2, 10, 11, Israel, why do you abandon me? The Ketterites and Cypriots don't abandon their God. And if you go back to the time of Jeremiah when he was writing this and you look and see who the Ketterites were worshiping and the people in Cyprus for worshiping it was Ishtar Nana Aphrodite. This is a direct reference to her in this verse. Jeremiah 17, the altar with the horns needs to be cut down. As well as the Asherah poles. Horns are associated with Venus and Ishtar. So they had altars that looked like her and Asherah poles that serve some sort of function for her that God had removed or. Or, yeah, said told them to remove. 1st Kings 11, 5. Solomon followed Astruth, the goddess of the Phoenicians, and Milcom, the abomination of the Ammonites. And I didn't include that whole passage there. But like I said before, this was his downfall. So this is addressed in. In the Word. And I would say that there's maybe a complaint or an argument, I guess that's going around in the Christian realm. And that's when you get some of these. Some of these guys who have studied this a lot and dedicated their life's work to it. And they'll come out and say, you know, Christians are misled about the UFO thing. And I haven't touched that yet today. But I think that this is combined with the UFO thing. I think the Goddess thing is. Is the UFO thing. And that's. I definitely want to get into that at some point today because I kind of want to fix that, because what I'm seeing is that Christians don't have an infrastructure for understanding this. And. But it's in the Word. It's just not being taught. Like, if we go to Ephesians 6, we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against powers, principalities, evil, wickedness in high places and rulers. Right. So arguably, that's four different types of entities. There definitely two. Powers and principalities are definitely two. I can, and I think I could back that up with some, with some Jewish stuff too. I mean, I've got. And again, this isn't Bible and I think, I think one of you guys said this earlier, like, take this with a grain of salt and we can do that. But in this Jewish or profile text, it gives an account of Genesis and it says in the beginning, on the first day, which was the first, the holy first day of the week, the chief and firstborn of all the days, God created the heavens and the earth, the waters, the air, the fire, and the hosts, which are invisible, that is to say, the angels, archangels, thrones, lords, principalities, powers, cherubim and seraphim, and all the ranks and companies of spiritual beings. The light, the night, the daytime, the gentle wind and the storms, all these were created on the first day according to this text. So that's eight different distinction of entities. And yeah, this isn't the Bible, so yeah, we could take it with a grain of salt. But it just so happens to mention a couple of these distinctions of entities that we see in Ephesians. So that's what caught my eye. So according to this, you've got eight different types of entities out there. Eight different species, I guess. Thrones, powers, angels, archangels, principalities, cherubim and seraphim.
