Pray.

For the restoration of Donald Trump to his rightful office.

In every situation and decision, let our President be led by the Holy Spirit, 

so that he learns the truth and acts accordingly, for the good of the nation. 

Pray.

For protection, provision, and peace 

for all working to expose the fraud and corruption of our elections!

As the SAVE AMERICA movement gains momentum, let those leaders that God anoints and appoints 

take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol! 

Pray. 

For us to receive and put on the full armor of God as we begin this hour,

“Even the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times;

and the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow observe the time of their coming.

But My people do not know the judgment of the Lord.”

Jeremiah 8:7

We have all heard the expression: “Ignorance is no excuse!” Today we move into Chapter 45 titled Junium, and we will discover the truth of how one of our most celebrated months plays a role in the de-Christianization of our nation! May we learn, pray, repent, then arise to act and rectify all that is sinful in our land! 

The Month of Her Possession There was one time of the year especially indwelled by the goddess. Ishtar played a part in other holy days and festivals, but it was this one time of year that her mythology, her passions, her frustration and anguish, her desires and longings, her rituals, and her possession of multitudes saturated Mesopotamian culture for an entire month. It was during those days that her spirit seemed everywhere. It was then that the people of Mesopotamia not only worshiped her but, in their passions, became like her. They cried out for her lover Tammuz as if it were her crying out through them. They yearned as if it were her yearning in them. They moved in procession as if it were her moving in procession. So the prophet Ezekiel was given a vision in which he saw the women of Israel weeping as if it were Ishtar weeping for Tammuz. The people became her channels. The goddess of possession possessed them. Pray.

It was at that time of year that her mythology exerted an amplified power to infiltrate daily life. They were the days when, according to her mythology, she and Tammuz were separated. He was in the underworld, the land of the dead, and she was in the land of the living, seeking to be reunited. Rituals, observances, festivals, and processions dedicated to the goddess and the object of her desire took place throughout the Middle East. One could hardly escape it. During those days, the air was especially filled with her presence.

The Twenty-Nine Days What would happen if the goddess returned to the modern world? Would she again mark out and lay claim to a similar time of year? Would she again create rituals to be performed during that time, observances to be kept, festivals to be celebrated, and processions to be followed? And would her spirit again especially indwell those days? The answer is yes. That is exactly what she would do. 

Upon her return to Western civilization, the goddess set out to mark and lay claim to a space of time every year as her own, a time that her spirit could especially inhabit. As she was the goddess of pride, the time would be crowned with the name pride. The time of the goddess and the object of her passions lasted approximately twenty-nine days. So one month of the ancient Middle Eastern calendar was especially given for the possession of the goddess, her lover, and her mythology. Rites, festivals, and processions took place from the month’s opening to its last day. So the mystery would ordain that the spirit of the goddess would again seek to lay claim to a similar space of time in modern times, one month each year on the calendar of the civilization she was now seeking to possess. And so it happened in exact accordance with the ancient mystery.

The Sacred Month In the wake of Stonewall, gay activists established marches and parades to celebrate homosexuality and then an entire week, Gay Pride Week. But in ancient times the goddess laid claim to an entire month of observances and parades. And so Gay Pride Week was then transformed into Gay Pride Month. To increase its acceptability and further popularize it, its name would later be shortened to Pride Month. So as in ancient times, the spirit of the goddess was given an entire month to indwell and possess. Pray.

As in ancient times, that month would be known for its processions and parades, observances, rituals, and the increase of her power. It was a strange phenomenon. The celebrating of that which once occupied the forbidden corners of society had come to permeate and dominate American and Western culture. America and other nations of the West were now devoting an entire month to honor, praise, and celebrate a form of sexuality that a little while earlier had been nearly universally viewed as a form of immorality. Now it was being treated as sacred.

A Strange Veneration Equally strange, nations were placing the celebration of this mode of sexuality above their own holidays. Nations would typically devote a day to the celebration of their birth or independence. But they were now devoting almost thirty times that amount of time in order to celebrate a particular form of sexuality. And it was happening all over the world. Nations with little in common were now celebrating the same holiday, giving homage, veneration, and praise all to the same thing and to that which they had only a little while earlier deemed to be sin. Pray.

What could account for such a strange and dramatic transformation? It was more than natural. It was the work of the gods. In all of history, there had never been a phenomenon quite like it. And yet Pride Month was the resurrection of the ancient month of the goddess’s possession. So now again, as in ancient times, an entire month was given to the indwelling of a spirit that blurred and broke the lines of gender, that feminized men and masculinized women, that turned the one into the other and caused them to be paraded in the city streets. Pray.

Finding Tammuz When in the ancient year did the days of the goddess and her lover fall? They fell in the summer. It was the ancient month of Tammuz. Since it was based on the lunar cycle, its timing, with regard to the Western Gregorian calendar, would of course oscillate. Tammuz can begin in June or July, but 70% of the time it begins in June. Jamieson, Fausset & Brown’s Commentary on the Whole Bible, published in 1871, says this of the month and of its ancient celebrations: “An annual feast was celebrated to him in June (hence called Tammuz in the Jewish calendar).” The Bible commentator Joseph Benson, who lived in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, wrote this of the month and its worship: “Tammuz…which also is used for the tenth month, reckoning from the autumnal equinox, that is, the month of June; and Tammuz, as the object of worship, expresses the solar light in its perfection, as in the summer solstice.’ Benson brings out the link between the month of Tammuz and the summer solstice. There is only one month in which the summer solstice takes place each year—the month of June. Pray.

Junium Saint Jerome, who lived in the Roman Empire at the time of its conversion from paganism to Christianity, was most famous for producing the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible. But he was also known for writing biblical commentaries. One of these was on the Book of Ezekiel. It was that book that contained the description of the Hebrew women, in the spirit of Ishtar, weeping for Tammuz. In commenting on the passage, Jerome drew from his knowledge of the observances, rituals, and practices that were still being performed at the time of his writing. His original words in Latin read: “Quem nos Adonidem interpretati sumus, et Hebraeus et Syrus sermo Thamuz vocat…” (Adonis is called Tammuz both in Hebrew and Syria…) Then he writes of the god’s death and the time of its occurrence: “…in mense Junio…occisus.” (in the month of June…is killed.) So Jerome identifies the time of Tammuz’s death as the “mense Junio,” the month of June. He continues: “…eumdem Junium mensem eodem appellant nominee, et anniversariam ei celebrant colemnitatem.” (…they call this month of June by the same name, and keep an annual festival in his honor.) Thus, according to Jerome and other observers of his day, the month of Tammuz was equivalent or most equivalent to “Junium mensem,” (“this month of June.”) Tammuz corresponds with Junium and Junium with Tammuz. June is also identified as the month in which the annual festival takes place. Thus the identification of Tammuz with June, and thus June as the month of the annual celebration linked to the goddess and her mythology, are ancient ones going back to the Romans, those who gave the month of June its name. Pray.

The Repossession of June So if the goddess returned, what would happen to the month of her possession? The calendar of the modern world was based not on that of ancient Mesopotamia or the Middle East but on that of Rome. We might then expect that, of all months, she would choose the month of the summer solstice. We might expect that she would choose the month that, more than any other, inaugurated the days of Tammuz, her lover—Junium mensem—the month of June. So she would take special possession of it. She would turn June into the time of her channeling. And since June had long been known as the time of weddings, the joining of man and woman, its modern transformation would be all the more dramatic. Thus June became Pride Month, and Pride Month became June. As America and the West turned away from God and Christianity, the ancient month returned to the goddess. And as in ancient times, the summer solstice and the days it inaugurated marked the time of the goddess’s processions and parades. Pray.

We pray:

• We declare that every year, month, week and day is Yours, Lord! You created all that this world encompasses, and it belongs to You! We repossess the month of June and dedicate it to serving Your purposes and no one else’s! 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.
