- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- William G. Dever, Distinguished Visiting Professor, Lycoming College, and Professor Emeritus of Near Eastern Studies, Arizona State University, presents the 2014 Tenenbaum Lecture (February 3, 2014). His illustrated lecture showcases recent archaeological evidence that reveals the differences in beliefs and practices of ordinary people in ancient Israel compared to the elitist, idealist portrait in the Bible, particularly the ongoing veneration of the Canaanite Goddess Asherah.
The Tenenbaum Family Lectureship in Judaic Studies salutes the family of the late Meyer W. Tenenbaum '31C-'32L of Savannah, Georgia.

The 'short introduction' lasts 16 minutes.
Thank you so much!
Jeesh thats some intro!! thanks ;)
Stephanie Wilson Thanks for the heads up!
Thanks. Saved a lot of time.
Thank you! 16 minutes of my life saved. 😀
It's interesting that the dove is seen as a symbol for Asherah, and the holy spirit of God is seen as a dove as well. Perhaps they didn't really stop worshiping Asherah, they just changed her into gods holy spirit and started representing her, with her symbol (the dove).
This would make the Christian view of the Father, the son, and the holy spirit (ghost) make more sense, because it would become the father, the son, and the wife (mother, seen as a dove). And there is the divine family unit.
Very interesting
where does the Virgin Mary fit in this? because supposedly the Father spiritually impregnates her.
Thats interesting for me, a muslim as well, there is parts in quran that condemn concept of trinity, most dont specify the 3 figures, but 1 particular part describe those 3 as God, Jesus, and His Mother. Majority of people thinking "My Mother" means Mary, thats why some people think quran only condemn maryamite sect. But if we see holy ghost as Asherah. well, isnt that interesting?
@@janokjaran seems there is a connection
I wonder how Wisdom, Sophia, from Proverbs can play a part in this.
The lecture starts at 16:00

MOST OF ALL ONE GOD OF POWER/LIFE TRUE LOVE DOES NOT NEED A WIFE BECAUSE ONE GOD OF POWER TREUE LOVE IS NOT; NOT; NOT A DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED OF CREATION; THEREFORE ONE GOD OF POWER TRUE LOVE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE. MORQUE LETS REMEMBER THIS DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED OF CREATION IS ENERMOUS FOR YE CAN SEE THE SIEZE OF CREATION SEED OF ANIMALS; HUMANS PLANTS ETC; BUT THEY ARE ALL FROM A DEAD SEED. SO ONE GOD OF POWER/LIFE TRUE LOVE SO LOVE; LOVE CREATION; ONE GOD OF POWER/ETERNAL TRUE LOVE; **SOWN* 25% SPIRITUAL POWER OF ONE GOD OF POWER/LIFE TRUE LOVE AS OUR LORD-5%; GOD CHRIST-5%; AND GOD JESUS AS 15% THAT BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE * 75% OF THE DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED OF CREATION; WHERE THE NEXT 25% OF THE DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED OF CREATION REMAINS DEAD AS THE DRAGON SEED. FOR THIS 25% DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED OF CREATION WAS THE DRAGON THAT DESTROYED THE OTHER 75% WHY IT DIED. SO MR MORGUE LETS UNDERSTAND ;God had a wife, known as Ashera the Queen of heaven, ASHERA IS THE DEVIL THE OLD SERPENT SEED OF CREATION THAT IS THE ALMIGHTY MOTHER OF ADAM/EVE IN HEAVEN. WHERE ONE GOD OF POWER TRUE LOVE SOWN FROM GOD CHRIST 1% SPIRITUAL SALVATION UNTO ASHERA AND SHE WAS CONCEIVED SAME AS HOW THE BLESSED TEMPLE OF GOD JESUS WAS CONCEIVED WITHIN THE VIRGIN MARY. THEREFORE AFTER ONE GOD OF POWER TRUE LOVE SOWN UNTO ASHERA THIS SPIRITUAL POWER TO BRINGFORTH ADAM; SHE ASHERA WAS LATER DECEIVED BY THE CUNNING BEAST SEED MALE; AS ASHERA/MALE AS WAS SOWN IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN; WHERE SHE ASHERA BROUGHTFORTH **LUCIFIER/SATAN. THIS OF COURSE DESTROYED THE PLAN OF ONE GOD OF POWER TRUE LOVE AND ASHERA WAS DESTROYED AND THROWN DOWN TO EARTH. FOR THE PLAN OF ONE GOD OF POWER TRUE LOVE FOR CREATION; THAT SOWN LIFE; ETERNAL LIFE UPON 75% THE DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED OF CREATION WAS TO DELETE SATAN; SATAN FROM CREATION AND ONLY SOWN A NEW CREATION OF 1% GOD CHRIST SEED MALE;FEMALE AS ADAM/EVE AND THE CUNNING BEAST SEED MALE AND FEMALE AS ONE AS ABEL MALE/FEMALE AS IN THE BEGINNING ON EARTH AND ADAM AND LILITH. BUT IT NEVER HAPPEN IN HEAVEN AND AS GOD JESUS PRAYED/SOWN ****LET IT BE SOWN/DONE ON EARTH AS IT WAS SOWN/DONE IN HEAVEN. IN GOD JESUS NAME WE PRAY ......AMEN. SO MORGUE PLEASE UNDERSTAND ONE GOD OF POWER TRUE LOVE IS NOT; NOT NEVER THE DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED OF CREATION; FOR THIS SEED IS THE SIN; THAT WILL ALWAYS SOW OPPOSITE ALL THINGS IN RIALITY AND TRUTH OF ONE GOD OF POWER TRUE LOVE. FOR THIS IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD YE SPEAK ABOUT AS A DESTRUCTIVE AND JEALOUS GOD; NOT ONE GOD OF POWER TRUE LOVE THAT HAS YE; YE MR MORGUE ALIVE AND EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING ALIVE THROUGH THE POWER OF ETERNAL LIFE THAT NEVER DIE. ONLY THE DEAD ALMIGHTY GOD SEED OF CREATION DIE; IS DEAD AND WILL ALWAYS DIE. ONE GOD OF POWR/LIFE NEVER NEVER DIE......
I'm so glad this video exists.
Dever speaks at 16:06.
Yes, you apparently missed my comment on that above.
+Wonderboywonderings and apparently you forgot to include a timely link. Good gravy!
Jerad Clark thanks for that
Rochelle Na’amah Lee no problem.
Jerad Clark Thanks for the heads up!
Highly entertaining and informative. I'm a big fan of his books.
Yeah, I haven't finished it yet, (I'm roughly around 40:04) but it's proving exactly what the Old Testament says; that Israel & Judah were befouled with the sludge of pagan idolatry for the vast majority of their history! See my comments for more.
@@claritasyoutubechannel3312 Agreed. His whole presentation adds more credibility to the Biblical story. While he keeps saying the finds he is reporting go against what you should expect, if you actually read the Bible these finds are EXACTLY what you should expect. It's interesting that at one point he actually acknowledged this, but said you would need to "read between the lines." I say you just need to read the actual lines of the Bublical text to see this would be the case.
@@modernmaniac1780 What exactly in the Bible did this presentation bring credibility to the Bible? All of this art isn't mentioned in the Bible.
I strongly believe that there's feminine or female, involvement in the process of creation. I have two points to buttress my views. 1. All other animals were created male and female. 2. Just as the speaker said, 'let us', this indicates plural efforts in the process of creation.
"let us" actually mean God talking to the Holy spirit that is with himself (since the trinity was always there before creation) God was never alone,He had the Holy spirit and the Son.
@@hephzibahpearl2501 Trinity could be Anu, Enlil and Enki? Asherah is Inanna/Ishtar?
Well if the Divine Council was in a sense then yeah you’d be right, since technically there’s female angels,.
the Hathor capital picture at 36.23 shows a Asherah pole carved on the right side of the door on the temple headdress - its faded but u can clearly make it out and its the best image of an Asherah pole I've ever seen - indeed I'd say this is how they in fact looked as imagery on Egyptian carving is very life like when it comes to the Gods .
18:87 Aho Professor. We beleaguered women applaud you.
Great Work.
A genius, simply brilliant! Thank you so much for this! I must share this on my edublogs - and on different social media:-)
Insightful video. Great visual presentation. Fascinating.
An hour wasted, at the end nothing new or different
Their hair is not electrified it’s depicting DREADLOCKS ; and the female on the chair also dreadlocks or braids you can see it clearly 🤩
16:06 the featured speaker starts his lecture
What about the connection between the Jewish church and Hathor which is the sycamore tree. The sycamore tree and the bull. I was watching another lecture where they were saying that the bull, particularly the half orb represented the male deity which was incorrect which I’ve noticed a lot of scholars, make a lot of incorrect assumptions because they’re trying to maintain a particularpoint of view of the situation
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also believes that God has a wife. If we are His children, it would make sense that God would have a wife, and that they as a union are One.
duh
Were they limited to the missionary position?
To be made in one's image,...being a soul capable of LOVE, and Compassion am I not the image of my Maker, taking, and giving Love?
How do we know that the Taanach Stand is of Israelite Art? If Israelites couldn't make any representation of anything, how can we compare the Stand to other non-existent art of such culture?
I'm liking this lecture, another point of view through a scholar not a random UA-camr.
The point is that they DID make figurative art. These aren't the only examples.
Mankind has spent all of humanity, trying to reduce GOD to meet man's limited reasoning and hubris. Whereas, GOD is still reaching down to mankind to Raise mankind up. Everything God has done is to Elevate us beyond our own ability to comprehend and beyond our own competency to exist. * I would never want to worship a god who needs to mimic or imitate his creation - us. God never had or needed a wife. Accept Jesus Christ and His work on the Cross. Receive eternity life, freely given, freely received. Only believe.
Yes, GOD the FATHER have a WIFE, & SHE'S GODDESS, our beloved HOLY Eternal MOTHER.
Asherah becomes the tree of life snd she married EL
The theology of the old testament literally admits thst many Israelites had multiple gods and some worshipped asherah. This isn't it odds with Judaism/Christianity since a big theme of the old testament was condemning the Israelites who had pagan gods and persuading them to worship a monotheistic god.
Indeed the claimis like the claim that the modern US religion believe you would become transendent if you commited suicde while a comet ( Hale-Bopp ) is approaching.
I wonder, could the winged lion that holds up the throne, be a cherub? It has a likeness to the babylonian/assyrian kerubu. It would be nice to get an answere.
Yes kerub it's the Hebrew word for the mesopotamian kerubu. I invite you to follow Thomas Römer' s class on College de France' s website or to read his books, he talk about that. Yahweh is supposed to sit on a kerub' s throne.
Yahweh was most likely a warrior or a weather deity, worshipped by Canaanites in the wilderness, and was introduced via trade routes. Just like Thor in norse mythology. It's all mythology
really amazing
19:45 If so many people weren't doing all that "pagan" stuff, half of the Old Testament wouldn't have needed to be written... :D
I am a woman please stop use me. Yeah u worshipped trees and used sacrifice and its u using it for your own power. So evil.
@@twiggycat1000 are you sure that you replied to the right comment (because yours has no relation to mine)?
RonJohn63 i know. think of fun we would have missed.
agree
Correct me if I'm wrong isn't the guardian isn't that symbolized by a lion so since she's standing on the line representing God the lion of Judah you would think that was a statue of his wife I wouldn't let any other female stand on me
“To whom will you people liken me or make me equal, or compare
Me that we may resemble each other,?

He traces it out with red chalk; he works it up
With a wood. Scraper :
And with a compass he keeps tracing it out, and gradually he makes it like the

Verse 18.
They have not come to know, nor do they understand, because their eyes have been
Be smeared so as not to see.”
Their heart so as to have no insight.”
exactly!!!
I happen to think that el and yhwh are the same deity only adapted to jew bible
+Victoria Smith
I thought so too at first..until I saw the Ugaritic Texts. In one verse Yahweh is mentioned as just another of the 70 sons of God (El).
El devided up the nations of Earth, giving each nation its Patron God. Yahweh was given Israel. But Yahweh was inserted into the OT, replacing El. The authors screwed up when they gave Yahweh El's consort, Asherah. "Yahweh and his Asherah" became a houshold word. That caption is even found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and on many artifacts found in different dig sites.
El had been the original creator god of the Jews, this is why his name was made into Israel. Isra-"El."
Victoria Smith I believe Ra el, Sun God is Jehovah. He's chasing Ashera Sun Godess.🌞 God spoke to Moses through fire bush.
Victoria Smith Me too.
Not the same god imo, but from the same pantheon.
@@Cootabux El is just another name for Yahweh within the viewpoint of the ancient authors. In many parts of scripture they have the same characteristics, and it’s never said that El gave Israel to Yahweh. The authors never even said that God had a wife tho? The worship of Asherah was condemned by prophet Jermaniah and was a giant point of controversy for Yahwists. I’d suggest looking at a channel called Inspiring philosophy for a much better break down then mine if you even read this 🤣
I'm taking a break today because today is sort of a special day for me, but I'd like to ask one question: Where in the Old Testament exact does it claim that Israel and Judah were Monotheistic Utopias? Because I don't see that anywhere in the text.
Dever Fever starts at 16:00
God never chose the Jewish people for anything. I challenge anyone here to prove it.
Okay, with the help of the Lord's Grace and the intercession of the Gebirah Ha-Shamayim, I'm ready to take a look at this and critique this video point-by-point and see how much of it is reasonable, and how much is tainted by an Anti-Biblical bias. let's take a look:
- 17:10 I look forward to seeing you prove that point.
- 17:16 I look forward to seeing you prove that too, especially consider how much the Human Spouse of His Holy Spirit, the Immaculately Conceived New Even, owns by being Spiritually married to Him.
- 17:19 He has His own Kingdom, the Saints who were Faithful to Him, and the greatest civilization in all of history, Christian Civilization; which may be lying dormant beneath our feet now, but will rise again, just as God the Son did. Also as I alluded to earlier, He has Mary, the Immaculately Conceived New Eve, the Greatest Creation in all of reality, that alone I imagine would satisfy Him even if He had nothing else, I know it would me. I know he's sort of joking when he says all this, but it's still worth saying all this in response.
- 17:24 Folk Religion is sort of a grey area, I'm not sure how one hopes to get an objective finding out of something like that; a lot of Hispanics (Or as I like to call my people La Raza de Santiago) venerate Santa Muerte, but that doesn't mean that Santa Muerte is a real Saint, or someone that the Catholic Faith holds up as real and worthy of veneration.
- 17:31 It's a false dichotomy because as I've just said, Folk Religion is a grey area, Folk Religion is neither all-false or all-true, some it is false, like Santa Muerte as I've mentioned above, but a lot of other things are in perfect accord with the Judeo-Christian or Biblical Faith. Heck, I myself am a big fan of Folk Religion and want to take up some practices of my ancestors' Folk Religion when I - Please God! - move back onto my family's farm down in Chile.
- 17:39 "Reconstructing" What does that mean? A lot of this desire to "reconstruct" Biblical practices actually comes from Protestantism, indeed, the vast majority of accusations that Christian beliefs and practices stem from paganism, ultimately have their origin in Protestant propaganda.
- 18:18 "Elites" I don't like the subtle implications behind that term.
- 18:20 "Attached to the court and temple in Jerusalem.." Lol! Jeremiah was clearly a member of that group, look at how well he got along with them!
- 18:24 Well that's true in the sense that I myself don't at all represent a majority of Catholics, I actually believe what the Faith always has, and always will teach. But just because one is not of the majority opinion on something doesn't mean that said person is false on said opinion; throughout history, the majority of people thought that the earth was flat.
- 18:28 🙄I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.
- 18:29 After thinking about it for a bit, I've decided I will say this, it's awfully sexist of you to think that if the writing of Sacred Scripture were placed in the hands of women, they would pervert the objective Truths of Divine Revelation.
- 18:36 Yeah, when I think of an idealistic view of Israelite Religion, I think of the dumpster fire that was the Divided Monarchy of Israel and Judah!
-18:41 Oh goody, our first contradiction, the Bible was written by "elites attached to the court and Temple," but they never were "in charge!" They were elites only they weren't!
- 18:50 And that's pretty much what this all is, a conspiracy theory, a bunch of sneaky people came in and re-wrote history.
- 18:59 Does it, or are we taking the archeological evidence we've found and viewing and interpreting it through our own assumptions that were just stated in this video?
- 19:11 It should be worth pointing out that the Documentary Hypothesis is well on it's way out, scholars in Europe no longer use it.
- 19:13 Hence why Sola Scriptura is false.
- 19:25 I should also add that this historian himself is already reading more into the Bible than there is there, just like a Protestant practicing Sola Scriptura!
- 19:27 Some of which contradict and almost certainly will continue to contradict modern secularist beliefs and assumptions about Ancient Israel and the Bible that we have now. I know the arguments that "well in the future we'll find and discover something that'll disprove your belief" isn't the strongest argument, I myself have to deal with these arguments in both my religious and socio-cultural beliefs and commitments, but it's still worth pointing-out I think.
- 19:36 We already know from the Bible what most people were doing, practicing idolatry.
- 19:46 Like I said before, just because the majority of Ancient Israelites practiced paganism, doesn't mean that paganism is the "true religion of Ancient Israel," just as the fact that the majority of Catholics reject the Real Presence, practice contraception, blasphemy, religious indifferentism ect. doesn't mean that these are the real beliefs and practices of the Catholic Faith.
- 19:54 I will, I think the preferable one is the one that'll lead you to Eternity with the Triune God of Israel, and not away from Him and to Eternity with the demonic false gods the Israelites were worshipping.
- 19:55 "Which is legitimate," yeah, everything you've said thus far heavily implies that you think the legitimate one is one the where "God [sic] had a wife." Heck, you just quoted your colleague referring to that as the "true religion of Ancient Israel!"
- 21:02 I should point-out that the Bible says that Michas' idol was adored (to use the Catholic term for latria) at Dan.
- 21:55 They're not "always condemned," they were considered acceptable at one point and then no longer acceptable after that, this frankly is reading contradictions into Scripture where there aren't any.
- 22:00 Dan was at the border and thus heavily influenced by the surrounding pagan nations, and considering that the Northern Kingdom was the most idolatrous and pagan, it's actually no surprise that it became the "cultural capital." I highly suspect that the most pagan and idolatrous findings we'll see on this journey come from the north.
- 22:11 Really? The High Places? The Bible clearly states that the High Places were present in Israel all the way to the Babylonian Exile, and on top of that there was brief period where the High Places were tolerated, namely after the destruction of the Tabernacle and before the building of the Temple, the prophet Samuel participated in sacrifices at a High Place. Also in the latter times of the Kingdom of Judah, only the God of Israel was adored at the High Places, no other pagan gods.
I got to go have lunch now, I'll do part to later, so far it seems like all this presentation is doing proving what the Bible says while thinking that this is doing the opposite, it's going to be interesting to see what is said about Asherah.
56:19 it could be a reference to keeping cannabis on you during a travel
How God going to have hisself. Mary was a demon. God is a spirit not flesh and blood. God don't want flesh and blood. Then he will be defiling his self. God is pure spirit. Jeremiah chapters 1-3
You guys just don't understand how time works but yes God has a wife named asherah
1) What does time have to do with this?
2) No God does not have a wife name Asherah, that was an innovation made by pagan Israelites; see my comments for more. (At the times of making this reply, I have completed part 1, but not part 2.)
did god have a wife? I thought he was supposed to be eternal
That doesn't mean hes not eternal
Beliefs evolve over time. Yahweh and Asherah were once part of a complete Canaanite pantheon.
@L M what about the spiritual in Judaism in the old and the new testament that is now the holy trinity ie God created and sends the spirit in the name of Jesus Christ .
@L M all civilisations had a religious belief system the bonded the society and humans have been murdering one another since their recorded history, Marxism did away with religion and millions have been slaughtered by marxists, jesus came to do away with religious hierarchies and spoke of absolute forgiveness, but classical rome greated a religion in his name and also used violence against non believers jesus sacrificed his life for our sins but humanity doesn't care that is why we have wars and now atomic bombs because of hate.
@L M I know jesus didn't want to create a religion he wanted the Jews to love one another and live good lives he criticised religious hierarchy never preached in a building and religion represents the interests of the ruling elite ie the churches of Rome England Russia Greece and so on, humans like to form jointly held belief systems, take Nazi Germany hitler was more or less messianic humans feel secure belonging to a belief that is going to serve their interests jesus is a outsider he saw the pitfalls in religions hierarchies that's why the Jewish priests wanted him got rid of.
Call out of Egypt… wrote in dust not stone….. medical care done by priest or midwife….
God is not human....smiling read your Bible Genesis 1
The bible does talk about God having a symbolic wife just as much as the bible talks about Jesus having a symbolic wife to quote "the bride of Christ." However God nor did Jesus have a fleshly wife.
When the bible talks about God or Jesus having a wife the bible is speaking in terms of both having a spiritual wife in heaven as we know too well the bible says "flesh & blood can not enter heaven." or some bible translations may use the phrase kingdom in place of heaven.
Although interesting the lecture was not as informative as I was expecting, Emory University is a laudable institution, but, I should have guessed by the levity of the lecturer, which to me is a sign of unpreparedness, that the lecture would fall short.
There is no such thing as a godess, the bible says asherah was a pagan idol that displeased God, why have none of you here seem to care about what the bible says?
You should read it again.
@@project.anubis Have you read it? You should read it again
Coz even g_d has a male superiority complex,Goddess is the alter ego.

@@KamiTenchi No. There is only One God, and His name is Yahweh, He alone made the heavens and the earth and all that are in them. And the Bible says we all sinned against this God, and it also says the wages of sin is death, but for God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. We broke God's law which is found in the ten commandments, Jesus came into human flesh and bled and died so that we could be justified by grace through faith alone. And there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Jesus is the only way. And I hope that you run to the Savior, for time is short, life is even shorter.
Here is my problem lies: I have 2 teenage sons. If I tell my young men not to steal my car at night to sneak out and one son obeys but the other does not obey, would it be fair for me to punish the innocent young man and reward the guilty young man? I am not going to punish the innocent and reward the guilty. That concept seems insane! I will not condone it!

@Linda Jackson, so true, no man/male has ever created life, man/male only take life.
God and Asherah are co-creators. The Father and Mother of the spirits of all mankind.
@@mikeaskme3530 lol impossible for woman to make life without man.

The God of the Bible had no wife, created everything including the host of heaven, of which some fell and became worshipped as local god's.
The Hebrew's moved into the land of Canaan, some followed their god's etc...etc... thus God Punished.

This guy is obviously biased. He either doesn't know what the text of the bible actually says, or he intentionally misrepresented it in this presentation. The bible makes mention of the Israelites worshiping Asherah openly. It doesn't try to hide it. Why would it do that if its narrative was to hide the worship of a wife figure of YHWH? Doesn't make much sense to me, but then again, I am not "official" like this bible misrepresenting guy is.
He's a scholar. You know nothing about the culture he's talking about. All you think you know about is the fake childish Bible someone told you about, and you foolishly bought.
Hahahahaha...there are just as many "scholars" who say this stuff is nonsense.
Which bible? I am asking out of genuine curiosity not to be argumentative. There are an unbelievable number of religious texts out there.
One of the things about Yahweh/YHWH's wife that interests me is how modern believers choose to deal with her existence. I also like that she was a Mother Goddess who was eliminated then reincarnated as the mother of Christ.
The only thing that really separates a modern "scholar" from any random bloke is an extremely expensive slip of paper.
The Bible speaks of burning Asherah poles and puts the goddess Asherah with Baal not Jehovah. The reality is the men wanted a patriarchal religion so they took the balance the Universe and God himself needs and made her into something to fear worshipping. I promise you no man can create life without the balance of a woman... and when God said let us make man in our image he was not talking to another male.

“You must not make valueless gods for yourselves, and you must not set up a carved image or a
Sacred pillar for yourselves, and you must
“Not put a stone as a showpiece in your land
In order to bow down toward it”
For I am Yahweh, YHWH, your God,”
@ Yolanda Hernandez: So what do you call the Cross shaped pillar upon which is hung the tortured body of a son of god ? So worshiping the female aspect of God the Mother is forbidden but the gruesome image of a bloodied crucified man is ok ? That's sick.
And YHWH is a God of the Elements, not some bearded old man in the sky who became lonely wandering in the eternal void and suddenly decided he was bored, found his vocal chords and decided to create the universe and man !?!?!?
The reason why we have the scriptures is bc God/Jesus wanted His people to have the truth written down on paper so they could read it study it and learn from their sinful idolatrous ways. There was SO much idolatry back in those days so yes it is no wonder God divorced His original covenant people. However at the right time which prayerfully isn't far off He will be reunited with His people and all that goes against His word will be destroyed. It's really quite obvious seeing how the enemy came in and taught God's people to worship false gods and idols that Father in His loving mercy wanted His truths to be written down and to be preserved and handed down throughout the generations so that the truth would always be known. When we read and study God's word we must have Holy Spirit reveal His hidden truths to us so that we can not say that we learned it from man but from God alone. Amen!!
And the Holy Spirit has revealed that we have Heavenly Parents.

Biased foray. Too much to debate over but no point.. It's shifty to wantonly associate things like Asherah to the 'ritual object pillar' so quickly, just by mere appearance.. & throwing things like "the Pleiades" into the mix without even mentioning 'the seven spirits of God' serves what purpose exactly?

Did God Have a Wife?
Yes, her name was Mary Christ mother of Jesus.Joseph and Mary Christ were brother and sister.
Will Star Mary was Joseph wife not god
Will Star - Quite a nice joke as Christ is a title and means anointed and every high priest and king was anointed. So we have a long stretch of sometimes related, but often not of people who where Messiahs, aka anointed, aka Christs.
actually Athirat / Asherah is the true mother of Jesus... she begins the Ash geneology tree of the gods the Yggdrasil.... the virgin Mary is not the mother of Jesus, she was barren, could not have children, the Mitochondrial DNA of the Jesus did not come from Mary she was just the vessel that birth him not the actual mother.. , and the paternal DNA did not come from Joseph, i think that the father and mother of Jesus were angels from another world in the Pleiades. the worship of Jesus is Paganism .. the birth of Christianity was because of a confirmed close encounter of the third kind. meaning Jesus was from alien parents.... there are humans from another world we are not alone in the universe.
Tribe of Dan were Phoenicians, duh its where the Northern tribes lived. Its also where Jesus Christ went to seek the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Israel was scattered abroad (on Phoenician ships to Europe aka Europa). Jews will never tell the truth!

People should never say a religion is BS. It is too offensive. They should say, all religions are BS so nobody feels isolated.

I'd love to see this guy get together with Max Dashu and discuss their findings- I'd love to be a fly on the wall to that conversation!
Thank you very much. This information is factual evidence for what I have always known! Just an observation - the winged symbol at Sultis associated with Lady Asherah is described by Thoth as "God is a circle, with center everywhere and circumference, nowhere". The central disc is likened to the sun, our primary source of electromagnetic energy, however this is a partial misnomer. The disc is always red in color, which is the color of the universal life force of the universe. The disc or orb if you like is often encircled by a serpent or two serpents, hence the name "winged serpent" for the symbol. The serpents represent the nature of life, which is described by the dual currents of life and death, or the processes of destruction followed by creation, or indeed the opposite poles of negative and positive current, or the pillars of Boaz and Jakin on the Tree of Life, while the wings represent the radiation of the central life force throughout of the infinite reaches of space. The people of olden times believed they were all individual centers of the universe, which as far as I am aware, has no boundaries, or is ever expanding according to scientists.
@@enkienki2360 The human mind can't really comprehend God/dess, the Creator and Genatrix of the Universe. However the ancients, understanding this fact, envisaged Deity as within and without of all of us and all beings and not somehow separate. As we are a part of nature and the Egyptian word for God was Neter, where the word nature comes from, Thoth describes God as a circle, with no beginning and never ending. According to this idea, whereby we are really miniature reflections of God on earth, we are all centers of the universe, circles with centers everywhere and circumference nowhere.
He worships his bride in a normal way anyone worships there wife but she is not to be worshipped by angels of humanity her purpose is for her and God to make each other happy she has no purpose when it comes to the rest of existence. She might be a mediator between woman and Jesus Christ just like Jesus is the mediator of man him and the father but what she really wants is just to be his wife she doesn't honestly want any responsibility for the angels or the people. She just want to be only responsible for her two children and her two cats lol.
@@gracecoleman5299 I can't really comment on God's household affairs but what makes sense to me is that we were created in God's image - both male and female - which seems to be more akin to the Yin and Yang or female and male as one, than any other possible interpretation. There is a precedent - in every single ancient culture, the God was balanced by the Goddess. Most often Deity was represented as Son, Father and Sage and this Triume was always matched by Maiden, Mother and Crone... so God was always seen as Androgynous.

@thadtheman3751 for example he refused to accept the polytheistic origins of Israelite religion even when it's self-evident, and he tried to mske the divine council out to be angels when the Hebrew text says Gods plural

Did God Have a Wife? Absolutely. Her name is Sophia Loren.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has taught the idea that God has a wife who is equal in power to him since the 1840s.
On 36:12 Sulcis, that looks just like Mother God Queen ISIS, Osirius wife. On top of her you can see the circle Sun with wings, that's Egyptian hyroglyphs. The thing she's holding with both hands, I've also seen in Egyptian pictures. Jehovah is the Sun God and Ashera is Sun Godess. Isis and Ra El had children, they still call them the Children of Israel. Jehovah gave them the Promised Land Canna, the Sun Worshippers and where Ashera was known as Mother Queen. The place where Noah's ark landed is mountain Ararat in Armenia. Mountain Ararat means mountain of the Sun. Ara means Sun. Armenians language is special it's a Solar origin language. Prefixes begins with Ara or Ary meaning creation or Solar. Armenians were worshipping the Sun in the Begining. Va-El is Hayek Armenian patriarch. Nimrod another Sun God, Horus Son of the Sun. Mayans worshipping Sun. Japan used to worship the Sun also. In Sun worshipping suicide is just an expedition quickly to meet God face to face. Kamikazees were anxious to see God. Mayan Kings would voluntarily play sports where if you lost, you had to sacrafices your life. It was meeting God faster. Sun worshipping was I believe first worshipping of deity. 🌞🌝☀️💫✡️ Seeds of Isis and Ra. Israel.
Very interesting,alot to get into
Kukulkan Sol YEP!!
Note that pagan icons of Isis nursing Horus were copied to create Coptic Christian icons of Mary nursing Jesus. Isis-Horus connection probably resonated with Coptic (Egyptian) Christians who grew up surrounded by pagan imagery of religion of Isis. Bollinger Press (Princeton) published a book about this in the 1980s or 1990s.
Hey where did you get the bit of Isis and El being children of Ashera and Jehova? I'd like to learn more about that.
Wow. 16 minutes of self-congratulations?! The official slideshow doesn't begin until 20:30. Asherah's packing quite the dairy!
Awesome lecture.Thx!

1. O my Father, thou that dwellest
In the high and glorious place,
When shall I regain thy presence
And again behold thy face?
In thy holy habitation,
Did my spirit once reside?
In my first primeval childhood
Was I nurtured near thy side?
2. For a wise and glorious purpose
Thou hast placed me here on earth
And withheld the recollection
Of my former friends and birth;
Yet ofttimes a secret something
Whispered, "You're a stranger here,"
And I felt that I had wandered
From a more exalted sphere.
3. I had learned to call thee Father,
Thru thy Spirit from on high,
But, until the key of knowledge
Was restored, I knew not why.
In the heav'ns are parents single?
No, the thought makes reason stare!
Truth is reason; truth eternal
Tells me I've a mother there.
4. When I leave this frail existence,
When I lay this mortal by,
Father, Mother, may I meet you
In your royal courts on high?
Then, at length, when I've completed
All you sent me forth to do,
With your mutual approbation
Let me come and dwell with you.

Actually, God bless. Gerard Miller here. According to the bible, when God created man and woman, he created them Male and female, in his own image created us, Male and female. If we are created in God's image, Male and female, that means they are Male and female. The angels are actually physical beings.
If you have any understanding of truth. Abraham walked side by side with God.
God sat down and eat food with Abraham and his wife Sarah. And Sarah was told that she would have a son at her old age. And Abraham and God walked and talked about the destruction of Sodom and Gomora.
God said that it was not good for Mahon to be alone. I find it interesting God was talking to man when it was said. 😯
Makes me think about the imagery of the burning bush which is not consumed by the fire, from which the divine voice says "ehiyeh asher ehiyeh" 'I will be what I will be'. Can't ignore 'asher' which means which/what/that. Could it be that, in grappling with ideas of a material-spiritual duality, Asherah was demoted to the material/mundane/profane and Yihoah promoted to the spiritual/holy/pure? And thus asherah is that physical being which is caused to be? Idk, sorry for being kinda rambly
Actually if you do your Bible History and your research you will learn that Asherah goes back further than the Canaanites Asherah goes back further than Noah and Noah's where the Canaanites come from. Believe me I am gonna write the book and cite the sources. Asherah goes all the way back to In The Beginning
God Bless Everyone
Magnificent. I think I read his book, but I can't recall anymore.
20:02 - "I only want to try to describe what it was actually like for most people, most of the time in ancient Israel."
The bible tells us... They were routinely in periods of apostasy, syncretically blending with the worship of YHWH with Canaanite idolatry. Did YHWH have a wife? The answer is yes, his wife is Israel, the church. Not some Canaanite deity.
"the bible is a minority report" (18:50)
Wow love this
What kind of message does that send to the world? That our God, whom we consider our role model, superior, model for moral character divorces his wife? Doesn't set a very good example for people to follow! Marriage is supposed to be sacred but no wonder people treat it as a joke, because God did. And furthermore what is wrong with a married God? You marry. You were made in God's image and that doesn't only mean your physical appearance. Jesus said "follow me", meaning follow my lead. If you're following God who is no longer married, although I beg to differ on the no longer married part, yet you are all marrying who's lead are you following? Even Jesus was expected to endure life as a human yet how could he? If he did not marry, have children, pay bills, have responsibilities how could he ever walk a mile in the everyday man's shoes? How could he ever lead if he never even lead his own children? To imply that God or Jesus is supposed to be alone suggests having a mate is evil. It suggests marriage and having children is evil. Yet God made a help-meet for Adam and said be fruitful and multiply.
AND FOR THE RECORD THERE IS NO SERPENT SEED, THERE IS ONE JERK WHO'S MOTHER ACCIDENTALLY MARKED HIM WITH THE SERPENT DURING PREGNANCY.
Couldn’t the person playing the Lyre harp, be an artist’s rendition of David?

If someone converted their belief won’t be same, Canaanite left thier worship they believe on God of Yahweh. If someone was Muslim then converted to Hinduism is person still called to be Muslim or Hindu?? 🤷♀️🤔
Thank you for this beautiful and magical represention of the Goddes "Asherrah!"
It’s hilarious how people say look God had a wife when it’s recorded in the bible that people worshipped Asherah as they were constantly guilty of committing idolatry. You have evidence of Idolatry. Makes perfect sense since God had to tell them to stop doing it so much.
I think I heard that Asherah wasn’t an evil deity until josiah. Before that asherah was worshipped along side with God. Not confident about that but that’s what I heard. I’m still gathering info on this
@@eugene3484 Read Kings and Chronicles and you will understand. There were several kings guilty of idolatry including Josiah’s father and grandfather who made idols of Baal. The bible is constantly having the Jewish people falling away from God and then they are brought back by prophets. They continuously need to be brought back from evil practices, even while Moses is on the mountain the people fall away and his brother Aaron shamefully makes a golden calf idol, they can’t stop themselves. It’s written in Deuteronomy “You shall not plant for yourself an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of the Lord your God, which you shall make for yourself.” It’s a direct commandment for a reason. As to what I was saying it would be very affirming to the bible to find Asherah worship in Israel.
@@ChopinIsMyBestFriend my question is why is everyone in Israel including all the leaders keep going back to Asherah. There’s just something about that Canaanite goddess that they knew about that we don’t today. That’s what I wanna figure out. However there’s plenty of old text where it says “Yahweh and His Asherah”
@@ChopinIsMyBestFriend considering that all life started in Canaan. We don’t have much info about Canaan unless you check Canaan sources itself and try to understand where and how it fits with the Bible. Because the Bible doesn’t tell us much
@@eugene3484 There’s much they would’ve known that we don’t know. The bible is speaking to the jews not the canaanites. If God is real and really spoke, he had specific instructions to quit worshipping them. They always fall back into idolatry from mixing with neighboring nations such as the moabites. I have theories that many of the other “gods” are actually demons. But that is my opinion. They sure do seem to love idols. The bible is written for a reason and it’s not to tell about canaanite culture. You do not know where life started. If you take the bible literally, it would be in Eden which is located in the fertile crescent between tigris and euphrates.
The Bible talks over and over again about the Israelites rebelling and disobeying God over and over again! Be honest about the text. This is not surprising that they disobeyed God. So you are confirming the Bible!
Ahhh, there is a myth about Persephone eating a promogranite seed in the underworld, after that she became a liminual and underworld diety and resided in spring summer on earth and fall and winter in Hades.
44:00 wouldnt a tree symbolize more than just ashura? but all wood carved idols or images
I distinctly remember Jesus Christ stating that divorce was not so from the beginning.... So how did God divorce his wife again?
That incense sensor looks like a Ethiopian vessel, but I guess that’s why that it is sided next to a form of Amharic
How can they spend a full 15 minutes stroking each others' egos? !!!!! You need to edit that stuff out.
Seems to me that Yahweh is Asherah. Why is Yahweh underlined on my screen like it is not a word or is misspelled but Asherah is not?
At 50:52 Looks very modern, more like C.E. 21st century, not B.C.
40:50 we now know that the smaller was burning animal fat and cannabis.

Which God had a wife? Yahweh and his Asherah or Pan and his Christy
