Feminism is
not a new ideology, or a recent development. Many people think it is, and seek
to claim that it is a sign of the progress of humanity. But in reality it is
the result of the resurgence of an ancient evil. I have demonstrated on my blog
that it is not an accident that feminist cultures are also the most bloody and violent cultures. This is because human sacrifice is inherent to various forms of
feminist ideology, in our modern society it is called abortion or reproductive
rights, but it is simply a new skin on an old evil.
Here is something
from which I am writing where I demonstrate how ancient this evil is. Note especially how feminist
the religion of Asherah is, and how remarkably familiar it also is:
“Here
is a powerful account of Asherah, which highlights several things; the power of
a female deity, the nature of how women can overrule their husbands, and the
fact that even ancient patriarchal cultures recognized the reality of
matriarchal power. This account is about Baal and his consort Anat desiring
authority from El for Baal to have his own palace, and their approach to
Asherah to help him get it,
“After
a while Asherah asks the couple for the reason of their visit accompanied with
such costly presents. Anat is the one who replies. Her husband Baal has no
palace of his own, he has to make do with quarters in the palace of his
father-in-law El, a situation that has to be changed, because every real god is
supposed to have his own palace. Already earlier Anat had begged El directly
for a palace for Baal but apparently without lasting success. Now she is
requesting her mother to intercede for Baal with her father El. It is surely
remarkable that in Ilimalik's representation of the divine world male deities
were the formal rulers, but goddesses determined the real course of events!...
…With
a formal phrase attested more than once she praises his intellectual, not his
physical prowess. At the same time Asherah affirms that she has ruled out her
husband as king of the gods. Apparently she regards her son-in-law Baal as the
candidate to replace him. El does not protest. Asherah succeeds in convincing
El to give his permission for the building of a palace for Baal. Apparently she
has a decisive influence on major decisions of her husband, the king of the
gods. Later on in the myth of Baal Asherah determines El's choice of a
successor for Baal, in the same way as the biblical Bathsheba does for her son
Solomon (1 Kgs 1)…
…It
is likely that this too reflects the situation on earth where queens,
especially queen-mothers, often influenced the political choices of their royal
husbands and in many cases decided who would be the next on the throne…
…The
word of queen-mother Asherah is followed blindly. The author of the myth,
Ilimalik, apparently wants to describe her as the real power behind the ageing
king of the universe.”[1]
This
account of the power and direction of Asherah is every bit as subversive as
anything written by one of Faxneld’s 19th Century satanic feminists.
This could also be an inspiration for an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond,
where the main character Ray is constantly torn between following the lead of
his wife or the whim of his mother. But more importantly it shows that the
archetypal husband-dominating woman, Jezebel, was not an anomaly in the ancient
world, she was a common reoccurrence. In fact note this comment by Jezebel to
her husband Ahab in the Scriptures;
“5
But Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, “Why is your spirit so vexed
that you eat no food?” 6 And he said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the
Jezreelite and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money, or else, if it
please you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ And he answered, ‘I will
not give you my vineyard.’” 7 And Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now
govern Israel? Arise and eat bread and let your heart be cheerful; I will give
you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite” (1 Kings 21:5-7).
Here
Jezebel shows us who the true power was in Israel, her, not her husband. It is
surely not a coincidence that Jezebel was an advocate of a god like Asherah,
because in the Canaanite mythology, Asherah had come to dominate the creator
God, El, just as Jezebel had dominated Ahab, and also just as she had
introduced Aherah and Baal to replace and dominate Yahweh, or El Shaddai. This
is a clear example of Satanic Feminist subversion, by Faxneld’s definition is
his book.
There
is a reason Jezebel is seen as an archetype of feminist religious power. She
represented a reality in some parts of the Ancient Near East that is picked up
by modern feminists. In condemning Asherah worship and Jezebel and women like
her, the Bible is explicitly condemning what we would later call feminism, or
women leading men. To unleash Asherah (or Ishtar, or Aphrodite, or Astarte
etc., etc.) worship on a society was to unleash feminism on a society and the
chaos that causes.
So, we can see that the Bible, and surrounding cultures, acknowledge the reality of women being powerful in both religion and statecraft, and the Bible challenges it directly. But there is another example of this in the New Testament, and it is a woman also called Jezebel.”
