“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33
In the midst of the fury and violence of the uprising, a strange thing happened. To an objective observer it would have made no sense, but it too was part of the ancient mystery. In Chapter 40 – the Dance of the Goddess – THE RETURN OF THE GODS author, Jonathan Cahn, reveals more!
One of the strangest concepts in the lore of the goddess is summed up in the phrase the Dance of Ishtar. The strange thing about it is what it signified— war and destruction. It was a peculiar juxtaposition: the image of a dancing goddess against a backdrop of carnage, death, and devastation. An ancient inscription invokes the concept: “…fiery glow that blazes against the enemy, who wreaks destruction on the fierce, Dancing One, Ishtar, who masses the multitude…” On the opening night of the Stonewall riots, a strange thing happened. In the midst of the uprising, and fighting, several of those involved began performing a dance. It was a bizarre convergence of music and dance performance on one hand, violence and destruction on the other…the Dance of Ishtar. In ancient Mesopotamia, it was not only the goddess who bore the title of the Dancing One. Her priests, the assinnu, were also known for their dances. So in the midst of the Stonewall uprising, Ishtar’s modern-day assinnu performed a dance. It was also the ministry of the ancient assinnu to sing the goddess’s sacred songs. So those who danced at Stonewall also sang a song. As the ancient assinnu would sing their songs in the female dialect as if they were women, so their modern counterparts at Stonewall likewise sang their song and danced as if they were women. Pray.
Lovely Locks, Joy Girls, and Harlots When Ishtar stood on the city wall and called down curses on Gilgamesh, she summoned her female ministers that they might share in her anguish. Three different kinds of women are mentioned in the account. One translation renders them as the “(cultic women) of lovely-locks, joy-girls, and harlots.” All three were associated with prostitution. The first of the three mentioned was known in the original language as the kezertu. The kezertu were closely joined to Ishtar. The goddess’s home city, Uruk, was known as the city of kezertu. They served in Ishtar’s temples, and aside from their association with prostitution, the kezertu were known for making music. An ancient Sumerian tablet speaks of a girl who “…acted like a kezertu—sang songs and played games.” The kezertu, one writer observes, “…would be involved in a variety of tasks, including singing, playing instruments, dancing…” Another writer notes of the kezertu, “The women have distinctive hair-dos, sing songs, and dance in cultic performances.” Accordingly, the kezertu were especially ordained to sing the songs and dance the dances of Ishtar. As for their “distinctive hair-dos,” the reason the earlier-cited translation rendered the kezertu as the “lovely locks” is because of the word kezertu itself. Kezertu comes from the root word kezeru, which means to curl one’s hair. So kezertu most specifically translates to and speaks of the women of Ishtar’s cult who wore their hair in curls.
The Dancing Girls On the opening night of the Stonewall riots, accompanying the goddess’s manifestation was the manifestation of the kezertu. In some translations of the Epic of Gilgamesh, Ishtar’s summoning of the kezertu is rendered this way: “Ishtar called together her people, the dancing and singing girls.” Her “dancing and singing girls” is another translation of kezertu. On the night of Stonewall, the goddess again called together her “dancing and singing girls.” Those engaged in the dance had no idea. But it was as if the spirit of the kezertu had taken them over. They were men, but now they became as women, dancing women, singing girls. Their song was a lewd taunt of the police officers. But the lyrics were most significant. They began, “We are the Stonewall girls.” And then came the words that stretched back to the Akkadian of ancient Mesopotamia and to the goddess; they sang, “We wear our hair in curls.” Pray.
In the Akkadian tongue it was equivalent to saying, We are the kezertu. And so it was that on the night of Stonewall, with the return of the goddess, the kezertu, the dancing girls who wore their hair in curls, also returned. As the Dance of Ishtar went on, the crowd was driven into a frenzy. It was now that the riot became so dangerous that the police retreated and barricaded themselves inside the bar. At that, the spirit of the goddess grew even more furious. The elements of the ancient mystery were converging, the dance of the goddess was coalescing with battle and destruction. Pray.
I Shall Smash the Door The goddess and her people were locked out of Stonewall. But this was the goddess who refused to be kept out of any realm because of a closed gate or locked door. Her ancient inscriptions describe her threats to bring violence against the gates and doors that would not open to her: “If you do not open the gate for me to come in, I shall smash the door and shatter the bolt, I shall smash the doorpost and overturn the doors.” The goddess had come to the gate of America. Now she would smash in the door. Possessed by her spirit, the mob began pounding and pummeling the bar’s front door, attempting to shatter, smash, and break it open to get to the police officers inside. Stonewall was her dwelling place, her eshdam. She would not be locked out. Pray.
Lady of Fire Ishtar was also the goddess of fire. An ancient hymn celebrates her use of the element to bring destruction in battle: “Raining blazing fire down upon the Land… Lady who rides upon a beast… Destroyer of the foreign lands, You confer strength on the storm…Their great gateways are set afire.” So now, inflamed by the “lady of fire,” the crowd attempted to light the bar on fire with the police inside. They squirted lighter fluid through the openings in the doorway and threw burning pieces of garbage, lighted projectiles, and firebombs toward the police officers. They doused the front door with lighter fluid and set it on fire as well. One eyewitness summed up the intent of the mob with four simple words: “they wanted to kill.” Some would consider it strange that such things as made up Stonewall would from that day forward be celebrated throughout the world, but even that goes back to the ancient mystery. The goddess’s works of fire, destruction, and fury were likewise celebrated by her worshippers and lauded in her hymns. Pray.
Signs of the Goddess That night, the signs of the goddess converged upon each other: the gate, the eshdam, the stone wall, the prostitutes, the cross-dressers, the homeless, the revived assinnu, the lion’s head, the raging avatar named Stormé, the arresting, the call to help and its response, the kezertu, the dance of the goddess, the battle, the smashing of the door, the employing of fire, the fury, and the storm. The goddess had returned. The door she had violently pounded that night appeared only to be that of a bar but was the door of a civilization that had been closed to her. She had now forced it open. She would not rest or cease from her pounding until all the doors of Western civilization were likewise forced open to her. And with the door opened, the other gods and spirits, cast out in ancient times, would likewise return. Pray.
We have seen how the place of the explosion and of the goddess’s return, the city, the ground, and the very site of Stonewall were all determined by the ancient mystery. It had to happen where it happened. But what about its timing? Beyond where it happened, could there be an ancient mystery that determined when it happened? In other words, did it happen when it had to happen? Could the timing of the explosion at Stonewall have been determined by an ancient mystery involving the moon, the sun, the ancient calendar of Babylon, and the casting of an incantation?
We pray:
- When a storm is brewing, all the elements necessary to cause destruction attempt to come into play. We cancel those assignments and speak peace to our nation, to its streets and to its people. 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.
