Ephesians 6: 2 Kingdoms
Baal: Turns the hearts of men away from God, the Creator, toward creation, created things.
Ashtoreth/Ishtar: Pleasure, Wealth, now Sex.
“Meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain; meaningless comes from being weary of pleasure. Pleasure without God, without the sacred boundaries, will actually leave you emptier than before.”
Before we mention the third part of the Dark Trinity, we must understand that there is a symbiotic relationship between the dark gods.
Symbiotic:
an interdependent relationship
The Third God of Ancient Origins: Molech: The
Destroyer!
Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon.
-1 Kings 11:7
And you shall not let any of your descendents pass through the fire of Molech.
-Leviticus 18:21
Yahweh and Molech cannot co-exist.
And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the Son of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter pass through the fire of Molech.
-2 Kings 23:10
What is this fire? Molech is the spirit and god of child sacrifice.
First Moloch, horrid King besmeared with blood, Of human sacrifice, and parent’s tears, Though for the noise of drums and timbrels loud Their children’s cries unheard, that pass’d through fire To his grim idol.
-John Milton: “Paradise Lost”
He had conjured up the fearful idol of an all-devouring Moloch of which he was priest and incarnation.
-Winston Churchill
The Gospel brought an end to inequality and infanticide
in the Roman World.
But as the Jesus Movement spread like wildfire throughout the world, all life was seen as a gift from God to be cherished.
Psalm 139 played a huge role in all of this.: You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb…My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret…And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.
Has Molech returned to America?
“The spirit of Baal had caused America to believe that departing from God would bring it freedom. The spirit of Ishtar had convinced it that if it abandoned its moral safeguards for instant gratification and sexual abandon, it would find fulfillment. And the spirit of Molech had promised to grant it the blessings of an unhindered life if it would only allow him to take away the children.

What gets celebrated gets repeated.
The people of Sumer parade before you. They play the sweet ala drums before you.
-Ancient Hymn to Ishtar
The
similarities between the Pride Parades and the Ancient parade of Ishtar are
uncanny.
The description of the festival appears to show the people of the city cross-dressing specifically for the purpose of the celebration. Indeed, the whole thing sounds very like a gay pride parade.

In the ancient world, before the
Jesus movement, for 29 days, the Middle Eastern Calendar was especially given
for the possession of the goddess, her lover, and her mythology.
Manzat Ishtar: Rainbow Ishtar
It is hard for the modern mind to fathom the idea that the political, cultural, and judicial events of modern times could be determined by an ancient mystery from the Middle East. But the exact convergence of all these events and factors is stunning.

One: When the gods return, we must realize they return
but for one purpose, the ultimate showdown.
Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked.
-Genesis 18:23
You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
-James 4:4
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
-Ephesians 5: 11
From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two, two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter in law against mother in law.
-Luke 12:52-53
Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son of daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
-Matthew 10:37
They had refused to worship the beast or its detestable image and had not received the mark on their foreheads or upon their hands.
-Revelation 20:4
Two: When the gods return, we must
make sure that we have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of Darkness.
Three: During the return of the
gods, we must lean into the spiritual disciplines that keep us from falling
away.
What happened in June is another reminder that whenever a nation or civilization or, for that matter, a life turns away from God, it will never remain neutral. It will never stay empty. It will become indwelled by something else, something other than God. It will become inhabited by the gods. Those who had taken part in the removal of prayer and the Word from American public life would not have imagined what it would lead to. But the empty house could not stay empty. A civilization had turned away from its worship of God. Now the sacraments of a different worship had come in. The door was left open; the house was found empty; the spirits came in; the gods returned and with them, their holy days.
