Strategic Focus for Wednesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
THE BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA! – Part 234
The Returning of President Trump to the White House! – Part 116
“For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—
is not of the Father but is of the world.”
1 John 2:16
As we continue with Jonathan Cahn’s THE RETURN OF THE GODS, on Chapters 20 and 21, we will see how American culture has been literally “bound and raped” by the spirits behind pornography.
The Pornification of Culture It was not only that sex was used to sell other commodities, but, as in Ishtar’s ancient craft, sex itself was up for sale. Industries that had existed in the shadows now entered the American and Western mainstream and were normalized. Adult magazines, adult clubs, adult movies, adult entertainment increased in numbers and influence. One no longer had to venture into the corners and shadows of American life; the shadows were overtaking America. Pray.
The tablets of ancient Mesopotamia contain inscriptions in which the goddess seeks to tempt her lovers into sexual relations. They will not be quoted from here, as they could best be described as pornographic literature. So as the spirit of the goddess increasingly took hold of American and Western culture, pornographic literature and story lines began entering into the mainstream. As the ancient Mesopotamians read or listened to the pornographic words and stories of Ishtar, Americans now read pornographic literature and watched pornographic movies in theaters, on their television sets, and on their computer monitors. And as prostitution depersonalized sexuality, so the spirit of the prostitute goddess increasingly depersonalized sexuality. Pray.
Mother of Eros The newly mainstreamed sex industries would employ and be known by the word erotic—erotic literature, erotic dancers, erotic massages, erotic movies, erotica. The word erotic comes from the word eros. Eros was the ancient god of the Greeks. The name means desire. Eros was the god of sexual desire and love. Eros was born of Aphrodite. Aphrodite was the Greek incarnation of Ishtar. So behind the name given to describe the deluge that was sweeping over American and world culture was the pagan god Eros. And behind Eros was Ishtar. Behind it all was Ishtar. Having returned to the modern world, the goddess had again given birth to Eros. Pray.
The Images The worship of Ishtar was not limited to pornographic literature or story lines. It found its most popular expression in imagery. The image of Ishtar as a naked woman could be found all over the ancient Middle East, in terra-cotta reliefs, royal seals, and clay idols. Images of naked women were typical of pagan culture and especially prominent in the worship of Ishtar. Thus we might expect that the entrance of Ishtar into America and modern culture would bring a revival of naked imagery. And that is exactly what took place. Naked images, particularly those of women, would again permeate Western civilization. In the modern case it would be known as pornography. In ancient times Ishtar caused images of naked women to spread throughout the Middle Eastern world, in clay, stone, and paint. Now, upon her return, she began causing the same images to permeate the modern world in photographs, films, video clips, and digital imagery. The images and practices that once characterized the culture of the goddess now characterized American culture. Pray.
The Porn Goddess Among the oldest writings in world history are the “sacred” hymns to Ishtar / Inanna in which she is described as a prostitute. The Greek word for writing is graphos. The Greek word for Ishtar’s profession, prostitution, is porne. It is from this root, “writings about a prostitute,” that we get the word Pornography. Thus by the literal definition of the word, pornography was birthed in the “sacred writings” of the goddess. And so as the spirit of the prostitute goddess moved upon America, America became filled with pornography, or, as it was called in short, porn, meaning, in effect, “the prostitute.” Pray.
American culture, entertainment, and American-produced internet made pornography ubiquitous. It was everywhere. Americans no longer had to go into the red-light district of American cities and towns to obtain pornographic materials. American culture had now become a red-light district. Ishtar had triumphed. Her effect on America was so great that it had now become the world’s leading creator and exporter of pornography. America was now, in fact, producing the majority of the world’s pornographic content. It had become the undisputed porn capital of the world. The civilization that had been consecrated at its inception to advancing the gospel and spreading the light of God to the nations was covering the earth with pornography and advancing the agenda of another spirit, that which now controlled it—that of the prostitute goddess. Pray.
What do sex, drugs, and rock and roll, fortune-tellers and witchcraft, intoxication, New Age movements, and the world of the occult have to do with one another? They all go back to the enchantments of a Mesopotamian goddess.
Chapter 21 The Intoxicator
As an enchantress, Ishtar tempted, allured, and captivated. She caused her followers to abandon reason and rationality to do what they otherwise would never have done. She cast spells. She worked magic. Thus her ability to seduce was all the more potent.
Ishtar’s Potion As the goddess who dwelled in taverns, Ishtar was strongly connected to the substances of intoxication served and partaken of there. In one of her myths, she schemes to take away the powers and blueprints of civilization contained in the tablets of the god Enki. She partakes with him of alcoholic beverages until he becomes intoxicated, at which point she takes off with the tablets. So to Ishtar belonged the powers of both seduction and intoxication. Thus it is of note that at the same time that the sexual revolution was taking hold of America, a parallel movement began, an explosion in the usage of intoxicating substances. After holding steady from the end of the Second World War, the rate of American alcohol consumption suddenly began rising. The escalation would continue for two decades and then would be followed by another escalation that would continue into the twenty-first century. Pray.
The Mind Alterer But it was another form of intoxication that so dramatically exploded in American and Western culture that it would, in part, define the 1960s: that of drugs. The phenomenon became so widespread that it gave
birth to its own culture—the drug culture. Among the most celebrated of the newly embraced intoxicating substances were the psychedelic, or “mind-altering,” drugs that radically altered perception, thinking, and behavior. The state of intoxication and altered consciousness was now glorified as an ideal to be sought after. It was all in keeping with the goddess’s nature. It was her power and will to alter consciousness, perception, and reality. With or without intoxicating substances, she was altering the American consciousness. Pray.
Sex, Drugs, Rock, and Ishtar For the ancient Mesopotamians, the taverns were inhabited by the spirit of Ishtar. It was there that those affected by her allurements were surrounded by three elements: sexuality, intoxicating substances, and music. When the spirit of Ishtar manifested in American culture in the 1960s, two of the three elements also manifested, sexuality and intoxicating substances. The third component would converge as well—music. Each of the three would epitomize the decade that began the transformation of American culture. In 1969 a LIFE magazine article identified the three elements as the counterculture’s new sacraments—“sex, drugs and rock,” or sexuality, intoxicating substances, and music—the three elements that characterized Ishtar’s dwelling place. Pray.
Medium of the Gods The Mesopotamians especially sought the power of Ishtar in performing magic and enchantments on those in their lives. She was the goddess of spells. Her powers were called upon to redirect or inflame a person’s sexual desire or romantic affection. The spell could involve rituals, the use of objects, apples, pomegranates, the weaving together of cords into knots, symbolic acts that today would be called sympathetic magic or witchcraft. Ishtar was the goddess of mediums, those who were said to be possessed of the spirits. They spoke for the gods and revealed supernatural knowledge and counsel. Her spirit possessed them, as it did her prophets. Ishtar herself was a medium, the mediator between the gods and mortals. Today, such mediums would also be known as fortune-tellers, psychics, channelers, and practitioners of the occult. Indeed, all these elements associated with the goddess would today be categorized under the heading of the occult. She was the occult goddess. Pray.
We pray:
- Father, have mercy on us! We have brazenly violated every law You’ve given us and are now paying the price! We turn to You and repent in dust and ashes! Save us, Lord! Pray.
- For President Trump: Guard, guide and govern his every word and action; protect him from all enemies, without and within; help him discern rightly about counsel given by those who advise him. Pray.
- In thanksgiving for all the conservative candidates who will “stand in the gap” with us and our President, engaging in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA, and rejecting the “usurper” and those pulling his strings in this faux administration, removing them from office! Pray.
- Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Pray.
