A “Dark Trinity”

Johnathan Cahn is a Messianic Jew who I believe is really on to something here, and has been for some time now as it pertains to the cultural garbage in this country and current road to true paganism we find ourselves on in this country right now, all of that craziness that we all are scratching our heads over because of how incredibly insane it is to us. Perhaps this will make sense of why that is so.

quote:

Cahn, a Messianic Jewish minister who called America to repent and turn to Jesus Christ from the National Mall in Washington just a few years ago, says it all boils down to a "dark trinity": the three evil spirits worshipped by ancient civilizations. He says what's happening in America from "pride month" to "cancel culture" can be traced back to the ancient Middle East. Cahn, the author of bestsellers like The Harbinger and his new documentary, The Harbingers of Things to Come, has issued numerous warnings for America to repent. Years ago, he pointed to 9/11 as a pivotal point and more recently warned of "The 19-Year Mystery." In The Harbinger II, his chapter called "The 19-Year Mystery" refers to the ancient biblical "template of judgment." He says America is following in the ominous footsteps of ancient Israel. When judgment came to Israel, the first strike came in 605 BC when the armies of Babylon invaded the land. Yet, the greater shakings came in 586 BC as judgment ravaged the land – 19 years between the two events. Following the same biblical template, America's first strike happened on September 11, 2001. But an even greater shaking came to America in the form of the COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020, 19 years after 9/11.


quote:

THE DARK TRINITY

Throughout the Bible, the scriptures warn about people turning away from the true God to serve new ones. Cahn points out that the book of Psalms calls this form of idolatry a "trap". He says these "gods" are still around and they've invaded the U.S. on a spiritual level.

In the days of the gods, which were dominant evil spirits, they reigned over tribes and nations, infused people with their evil, and mastered civilizations. Kings bowed to them, priests sang their praises, and altars were built in their honor. They were worshipped and dreaded.

He says a turning point came when the gospel of Christ finally went out from the city of Jerusalem and spread throughout the land of Judea. The message of God entered the lands of many gods and idols. The message of the gospel overcame the reign of the gods. "The spell of the gods was broken," Cahn shares.

Sexuality was to be treated as a sacred gift from God, to be honored and kept in the equally sacred vessel of marriage. Children were no longer to be abused, mistreated, or sacrificed. Government could no longer claim the authority of godhood. The gods had been cast out of their temples, their cities, and lands from Western civilization itself which represented the greatest mass exorcism in world history. The gods lost their hold, and the spirits departed.



quote:

RETURN OF THE GODS

In his book The Return of the Gods, Cahn says Western civilization was in many ways set free from these dark spiritual principalities and became a house set in order, a civilization cleansed.

But the spirits still existed outside the borders of that civilization. As scripture states, they roamed the dry places, the desolate lands, they dwelled in the shadows. The only way these dominant evil spirits could come back or return to Western civilization is if the people turned away from God.

Unfortunately, people did turn away from the one true God and the dark gods returned, but they came back in disguise. They came as spirits of enlightenment, freedom, and power. Cahn says today these gods inhabit our institutions, walk the halls of our governments, cast votes in legislatures, guide corporations, and teach in our universities.

THE NAMES OF THE 3 DARK SPIRITS

Cahn shares, "Christianity brought about the casting out of gods from Western civilization… upon reentering, they would seek to bring about the casting out of Christianity from Western civilization."

He argues that the gods or spirits that have returned to America and Western civilization are the same gods that seduced ancient Israel. He points out the following demonic spirits are the three most prominent gods that transformed ancient Israel and led to their fall from God:

1. The Possessor – Baal represented the nation's turning away from God. His strategy is to separate the nation from the Word and the ways of God. In America, he did this by removing prayer from schools. By causing God's ways to become alien to the nation's children, he could cause the alienation of America from God.

2. The Enchantress – Also known as Mrs. Baal, this spirit is referenced in the book of Judges. The two gods Baal and Ashtoreth or Ishtar are linked together. The Enchantress god represents the goddess of sexuality. She started the sexual revolution. The return of Ishtar to the modern world weakened marriage. Sex became a god to be pursued. America became filled with pornography. Images that were once forbidden or taboo began to fill the movie screens.

There was another side of Ishtar, another power and another agenda. She was a sorceress or the Transformer – a god who changes man into woman and woman into man by altering human desire, identity, and nature itself. The Transformer takes the sexual revolution to a deeper level and transforms America and Western civilization:

* Stonewall – The goddess to modern culture made her return in a way no other event had on June of 1969. The police raided a gay bar of Greenwich in New York City. Two hundred people were at the bar. Police began loading some of the people at the raid into a van. During one of the arrests, something took hold of the crowd who began taunting the police officers and hurling objects at them. It became so dangerous the police had to retreat into the bar fearing for their lives. The crowd even tried to charge the bar to get to the officers until help arrived.

"The Stonewall riots" continued for days. What happened that night went beyond the human realm. Cahn points to some important signs or symbols: A bar down from the bar was called the Lion's Head – the same sign that in ancient times, represented the power of the goddess as she entered war. Also, on that night despite the fighting several began performing a dance – the Dance of Ishtar.

* Supreme Court – Cahn contends it is no accident that Pride Month is in June. The goddess's entrance and inauguration of her resurrected movement at Stonewall took place at the exact time ordained by the Mesopotamian calendar and the ancient mystery. The observations, celebrations, and Pride Parades were held around the end of June which was typically within a week or days from the summer solstice, the time of pagan celebration.

Aside from Stonewall opening an ancient door there are three landmark cases in the United States Supreme Court which opened other doors: (1) The first door – legalization of homosexuality which happened in the summer – in the month of June; (2) The second door – overturning the defense of marriage took place on June 26, 2003 and (3) The third door – overturning of marriage which legalized same sex marriage across America took place toward the end of June.

* Rainbow – On the night that marriage was struck down, the sign of the goddess, the rainbow – lit up the Empire State Building, the waters of Niagara Falls, and the house which governs America, the White House. The power of metamorphosis belonged to Ishtar where she could transform a man into a woman and a woman into a man. She changed our nation's priorities, values, and desires. "What the culture once rejected, it would now accept; and what it once accepted, it would now reject," Cahn shares.

3. The Destroyer – The most mysterious member of the dark trinity is known as Molech. His name makes several appearances in scripture. For example, when King Solomon fell away from God, he built high places, altars, and sanctuaries for the foreign gods. One of them was Molech. He was the god associated with sacrifice of human beings, especially children by their parents. The abomination is a sign of a nation that has turned entirely against the ways of God and become lost to Him.

That Book shook me, MT; it was not speculation but simply facts that are easily validated via the archeological historic record of those grandiose but brutal and barbaric civilizations.

There is no 'grey'; we either live in a Spiritual Universe with the infinite reservoir of Universal Energy being Self Aware (I.e., God), or we don't, and said Reservoir has no awareness. Or love and respect for its 'creation'. If it is the former, then there is Spiritual based Evil, and all who desire Love as opposed to Love's Opposite had damn well better educate and evaluate themselves as to just what they are up against.

I think it is prophesied to happen, M, to drive home the final point in Humanities' long sojourn back to our Source, and the power therein. That we cannot cut it in this realm wherein Evil is allowed so that all may make and educated choice. Even 'Adam and Eve' left paradise in order to know the whole Truth and make that educated and therein valid choice.

It's coming, no matter what people believe. And Cahn's factual account of the past, is sobering and humbling. Makes me glad I'm in Jesus's hands and not my own will and intellect. Thank you Lord. Cahn too, for his brave work.

Have issues with this. I believe there is great evil in the world, but it didn’t just come back. Between the times of Christ and now, there have been many many things happen in the world that were multitudes worse than 9/11 and Covid. Evil has always been here.

I’ve been listening to Cahn’s YouTube channel for a while now.
I don’t buy into all of his prophecies, but l do believe he’s right about the spirits coming upon the earth now.

The culture wars being referenced here are nothing more than a color revolution perpetrated on the American public by its own govt so they can obtain permanent power/control.

quote:

Color revolutions are political term used to describe turbulent political events: mass street protests and riots in order to achieve a revolutionary change of government. Some revolutionary upheavals are successful and some remain only attempts. However, so far they have taken place in a number of countries at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century.

One of the first things that comes to mind:

Matthew 12:43–45 (NASB95):

43?“Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it.
44 “Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came’; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.
45 “Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.”

So you think people are not retarded enough to throw away their culture on their own? It needs to be evil spirits?

I've listened to the Audio Book for Return of the Gods.
Great piece and honestly, yeah makes a lot of sense and explains the spiraling downfall we are seeing in real time in the country.
This is a spiritual war. Always has been. Now we're seeing it up close and in the open.

To the naysayers, I advise you to pick up the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

Because there are only two real choices: You either follow Jesus Christ, or you don't.

Not good. Israel had already been destroyed by Assyria and the land was an Assyrian province.

quote:

the greater shakings came in 586 BC

Ahh yes, the year Judah (not Israel) got the arse beating of a lifetime, when Babylon destroyed their temple in Jerusalem (the city named after “Shalayim” the Canaanite sunset god).

quote:

Psalms calls this form of idolatry a "trap". He says these "gods" are still around and they've invaded the U.S. on a spiritual level.

Yes, the psalms and the entire Bible go on and on about all the gods that exist and that they shouldn’t be worshipped. Why does the author use quotes around gods? There were no quotation marks in Hebrew nor Greek. Gods were gods. The Bible says there are many. At least 70 main gods, plus the Father El Elyon (God most High) and the Mother goddess Asherah (the Holy Spirit).

quote:

In the days of the gods, which were dominant evil spirits, they reigned over tribes and nations, infused people with their evil, and mastered civilizations. Kings bowed to them, priests sang their praises, and altars were built in their honor. They were worshipped and dreaded.

Bravo. Deuteronomy 32:8-9. They were dreaded in the same way the Israelites and Judahites feared their god Yahweh.

I had to take a break as soon as I saw “road to paganism. It’s all in your mind, I promise.

The church I go to from time to time has this as his sermon just about every Sunday. He doesn’t read from notes but straight from the Bible. And he will tell you “ you may be offended” as he starts every Sunday.

I read this book and it was fascinating. Did a bunch of fact checking as well and it all checked out.

The one major thing I disagreed with in this book was the idea that America was God’s new chosen people.

He tries to tie back to that silly theory too much. In reality we are people who knew God and then turned away from him, opening our door to malicious actors and we are now going to pay the price for that.
