The Goddess Movement | Dr. Stephen Phinney
Did you know the Goddess Movement is the fastest-growing religion in America?
The Goddess movement is also known as Wicca. Yes, it is true. Goddess spirituality, or “the craft,” appears to be the fastest-growing religion in America. Less than a generation ago, only a handful of Wiccans made their religion public, and most hid their craft behind closed doors, much like the Satanists. Once the internet became an open forum to recruit and state their not-so-public beliefs, followers multiplied exponentially. With feminists seated in society as the leading cultural group, Wiccans can reinvent their post-feminist movement. The post-feminist term empowers feminists with the power needed for their newfound role in modern culture. They claim it is the next step for a feminist, Christian or otherwise.
Goddesses, who may also call themselves witches, capitalize on the white part of the magic. Although, it needs to be noted that the newer generation of goddesses strays from the title or reference of witches, particularly those who self-claim Christianity. Those within the Goddess movement neither worship Satan directly nor practice evil magic traditionally associated with black witches.
The concept of white and black magic is based on the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. Members of the Goddess movement use this passage below to advocate that “magic can be used for the good.” The deception is that both sides of the Tree of Knowledge get their orders from Satan. Members of black magic give Satan credit directly, whereas the Goddess group gives Satan credit indirectly by using the magic Satan offers.
The main objective for goddesses is to advance female deities over males, minimally female deities first and then male. Most claim God had a wife, Asherah, which suggests she was worshiped alongside Yahweh in his temple in Israel. BUT… research proved Asherah was a tree idol (possessed by a Phoenician goddess spirit) commissioned by Ahab, Jezebel’s husband, to be a goddess to sit alongside the throne of Baal (Jezebel’s father). Furthermore, all the prophets (400+ of them) were required to serve Asherah first and then Baal (1 Kings 18:19).
Female deities are not new to our world. You can trace the feminist movement back to Semiramis, the wife of Nimrod. Who was Nimrod? Well, he was the grandson of Ham, son of Noah. While it seems weird to us, Nimrod’s mother, and wife, Semiramis, were one and the same. According to historical records and various legends, Semiramis required Nimrod to build a statute of her and place it at the bottom of the tower of Babel. While the Tower was being constructed, all the people needed to stop and worship a full moon. Another alarming fact was that she became pregnant after engaging in an adulterous affair. Around this same time, Nimrod dies a violent and untimely death. To retain power and hide her misdeeds, Semiramis makes a most audacious claim that would set the stage for the Babylonian cults throughout all ages. She publicly declares that upon Nimrod’s death, he had been resurrected as the god of the sun, and as the Sun-god, Nimrod used his sun rays to inseminate her with a child, miraculously. Thus, this child was considered to be divinely conceived. The child’s name was Tammuz, which she claimed was the reincarnated Nimrod. Sound familiar?
History notes that this demonic doctrine became Satan's first recorded event to replicate and ultimately replace the virgin birth of Jesus Christ and His resurrection. It is also noted that this event set off generations of women returning to Eve's same sin, submitting herself to a dominant gender-neutral god - Satan. Since Semiramis is considered the mother of all goddesses, female dominance began populating worldwide. To keep it simple, the events surrounding Nimrod and his wife/mother set Satan's plan to one day introduce his all-powerful Great Whore (Rev. 17:15).
After the scattering occurred at the Tower of Babel, the story of this child's miraculous conception was disseminated worldwide. It led to the rise of the various birth-death-rebirth cults littered throughout history. These mystery religions of future generations adopted different names for Semiramis and her child, Tammuz, who became known throughout the ages as the father of all goddesses. Even though Semiramis was the daughter of Ham, cultists and goddesses state her as the daughter of a goddess. Keep in mind gods/goddesses were humans until reincarnated. Supposedly, Semiramis’s mother had mermaid-like features with a woman's head and the body of a fish. Really? Something sounds fishy about this story. Seriously, this is the first documented story of the birth of the goddess movement.
The classic Greeks (5th–4th century BC) popularized, organized, and moved the secret society from the dark rooms of myein (secrecy) to the public. Early Christianity (the Seven Churches) watched the Greeks and the Roman State-Church move these pagan images from the closest to adorning their buildings. The leaders of these pagan goddesses, now adorning their structures, were pressuring early Christians to pay homage to these naked idols of sexuality before entering their churches. Interestingly, Jesus Christ Himself addressed (warned) five out of the Seven Churches regarding this issue.
Unlike the modern Millennial Goddess movement, their religion’s earliest adherents worshipped two deities, one of each sex: the Mother Goddess, the birth giver, who brings into existence all life, and the Horned God, a male hunter who died and was resurrected each year. Male shamans dressed in skins and horns in identification with the god and the herds, but priestesses presided naked, embodying the fertility of the Goddess. In return, the goddesses would use the hunters (males) to accomplish their objectives, like Jezebel's accomplished through her husband Ahab and her sons.
Outside of Eve, Jezebel was Satan’s most elevated woman. Jezebel was the queen with Ahab. The Lord remembers her for destroying the Prophets of God (1 Kings 18:4). She was so destructive that Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in caves. She despised Elijah the most. Why? He was an immovable male leader who demonstrated the immovability of God the Father, whom she hated. For this reason, she worked tirelessly to turn the Hebrew people to the god Baal – a male god who births goddesses. Or…to put it into proper Biblical worldview, to worship her father's spirit, Tyre King Ethbaal. It should also be noted that Satan was the king of Tyre during much of the Old Testament (Ezekiel 28). There is a direct connection between Satan and the goddess movement – past and present.
As tradition suggests, Satan would possess key leaders and rule his domain of darkness through their mortal flesh by advancing female rights. He began this method of deception by elevating Eve, and he will end his empirical demise by elevating a whore (Rev. 17:15). Also, keep in mind that Satan is not only a god of darkness but also an angel of light, which means he doesn’t show his real colors upfront. He does, however, appear to all as a goddess-type figure, which God references as the Great Whore (Rev. 19:2).
A question must be asked: “Why does Satan relentlessly prostitute women to advocate his end-times goals?” First, we must remember that there is nothing new under the sun. Secondly, Satan is a simple-minded leader who sticks to what works. He went directly for the woe-man in the garden because of one fact: she was formed as and from a secondary source of Adam – his side. Permit me to remind you of one of the most basic principles in the Bible: the woe part of organic woman means “weakness.” In Ancient Hebrew, when you put them together, you have “the weaker part of man,” not because she is lesser than, but because she was formed from Adams's most fragile mortal flesh – his side, by way of a rib.
It is recorded that 100% of all references to a woman are a secondary derivative of man: woman, she, female, and even goddess. Yes, you guessed it, a goddess is a secondary god to a male divine. Hopefully, you see the obvious. In the end, there will be a standoff between two male god figures, Satan (father of lies) and YHWH, God the Father (Father of Truth-Jesus). If you have been keeping up with your studies in the book of Revelation, you know who wins!
Why does God use the title of “a great whore” in depicting the fake church?
Since the days of original Babylon, men have prostituted women for one horrid reason, money! OK, maybe one other reason, power. In Modern Hebrew, man means “penetrator,” and woman means “penetrated.” To help us understand our topic, we need to review two negatives of each definition: First, the penetrator can form harm via rape, promiscuity, or generalized lust. Secondly, he can use the penetrated to match the most significant appetites of the penetrator for a price, that is (prostitution). As for the penetrated, it is equally as ugly.
Women have used sex to get what they want from the early days of creation. Was that too ugly for you? Well, try this on for size: unless sexual relations are an expression of shared love ordained by God through His standards, they fall into the category of whoredom. As our passage reveals, Jezebel-type women have learned to use man’s most significant appetite as a penetrator to get what she wants, which usually involves control and power. One of the seven churches got in trouble with Jesus over this issue.
"But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality. Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds. And I will kill her children with pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your needs. But I say to you, the rest who are in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they call them—I place no other burden on you.” (Rev. 3:19-24)
Jezebel has come down through the ages as a generalized name for all wicked women who demand others to worship them. In modern usage, Jezebel is sometimes used as a synonym for sexually promiscuous, controlling women, feminists, womanists, and participants of the goddess society.
The critical difference between feminists and womanist is that feminists are usually white, and womanists are typically black. Both carry the same message, “I am no man’s slave.” There is an irony in all this: the Jezebel movement might be touting white magic, but if you get one mad, you might see a little black magic spring forth.
Connecting the modern goddess movement with the spirit of Jezebel and the story of Semiramis from a Biblical point of view is a no-brainer. The real challenge is helping people connect the fastest-growing religion in America with the whore Jesus speaks against in the book of Revelation.
“BECAUSE HIS JUDGMENTS ARE TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS; for He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and HE HAS AVENGED THE BLOOD OF HIS BOND-SERVANTS ON HER." (Revelation 19:2)
The great offense to God is fundamental and undeniable. Even though He gave us plenty of warnings and a boatload of stories of how this whore corrupts the earth, the masses simply unsubscribe from God and move on.
Neopagan goddesses tend to be white, middle-class, highly educated, and politically involved in liberal and environmental causes. They love mystic arts, such as yoga, shamanism, contemplative nature, and divine intelligence from the “core” of self, culture, and humanity.
Special note: When Christians engage in yoga or any other core manifestation arts, they swap the atman (cosmic self) for the spirit of a christ. Both are demonic.
Here is our bottom line: the goddess movement is nothing short of a matriarchal religion, purposing to backseat male-driven divines, particularly any group that claims God is a He or Jesus is a He. In the late 70s, they reinvented a religion to glorify women, often tied to Wicca, neopaganism, or other New Age beliefs. Their religion and cultural movement are based on a peer-review claim that all cultures were once matriarchal. While they ignore that creation was based on God the Father, sadly, the next generation will most likely be matriarchal.
That matriarchal culture is now sweeping the globe like a plague of locusts. This movement sets the stage for the queen of the end times – “for He [Jesus] has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality.” If you hear of anyone who touts Matriarchal spirituality or governance, run quickly, hide – for there is a queen bee chasing you, and her sting is to be feared. She will offer you her white magic in the first half of her seven-year reign, but in the second half - nothing but black magic.
The trending Goddess Movement is nothing short of our enemy setting up for the first three and a half years of the seven-year reign of the Antichrist. Since Satan is a shemale, connecting this ideology's dots is easy if we hear our Father’s voice. Eschatology is easy for those who have ears to hear. Let all stop and listen, for the great I Am is speaking.
