Masculine leadership has been under attack since the early days of the Babylonian Empire.
While “Equal Rights” takes the credit for the reform, historically speaking, the efforts of neutralizing male leadership started in the Garden of Eden, when Adam defaulted to the woman in a decision that would plague the earth until its bitter end. While it wasn’t until the Tower of Babel – when the wife/mother of Nimrod demanded to rule through her son/husband, it became an organized system. However, the 900+ years before the flood, there is evidence that Cain's descendants propagated a system of rule by exchanging sex for dominance, which is the earliest form of prostitution noted. Many Biblical scholars believe this depravity caused humanity to implode upon itself, which activated God to destroy its foundation.
Biblical history reveals that Seth’s descendants were the linage that maintained and advanced the earliest form of Hebrew male leadership, representing the Old Testament Covenant's standards. By the time of the flood, Noah and his family were the only humans remaining that lived out God the Father’s leadership methods. As a result of this demise, God steps up to proclaim this.
"Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. ‘But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.’” (Genesis 6:17-18)
Basically, God the Father hit the “reset button.” Satan knew exactly what he was doing by tempting woman to destroy the masculine hierarchy method established by the Father. He also knew that by going directly to Adam, he would have failed. Whereas going through the “weaker vessel” of Adam, he was sure of his success. His plan worked seamlessly, which activated the Law. After God noted the cause of man's fall; Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; cursed is the ground because of you. After addressing Adam, God immediately went back to address the great deceiver – Satan. Then the Lord came to the woman and delivered her consequences via three mandates - "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, in pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." (Genesis 3:16)
He will rule over you, has become the world's most significant fight of the ages.
The consequences of Eve’s part in the fall of humanity activated 6,000 years of a deception that might sound like this – I will not have pain in childbirth, I will abort my children. My desire will not be for my husband but rather for my interests. And…I certainly will not allow him to rule over me. I am my own person. As for Adam, if he didn’t get the message of his sinful choice of obeying his wife before that of God, well then, stupid is as stupid does. However, we can safely assume that he wasn’t quick to repeat the sin that drove humanity into the everlasting darkness of feminism vs. masculinity.
I understand that this is “101” theology for most, but few connect the dots in how this single event is connected to the battle between the sexes. A modality that is seen in every facet of culture today.
Adam and Eve’s sin immediately showed up in their children, i.e., the event of murder with Cain upon Abel, which resulted in Cain being cursed.
"Now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. "When you cultivate the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you; you will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth." (Genesis 4:11-12)
The terms vagrant & wanderer are directly connected to the New Testament ideology of prodigal. A prodigal is removed from the authority structure of a father. Each is left to survive on their own, thus becoming fatherless. Fatherless children are forced to rely on self-rule while abandoning masculine leadership hierarchy, particularly God the Father. As in the case of the story Jesus told about the Prodigal son, the male child is quickly drawn into submitting themselves to immorality, prostitution. Or harkening to the voice of a woman. This is the exact pathway Cain took, which caused all to suffer the doom & gloom of their existence. On another special note, many eschatologists believe the end times will look much like the days before the flood, and there is a good reason.
Out of Cain’s fatherless state, as they knew it back then, the world became corrupt in every way. However, if you follow Seth's lineage, Noah and his family become the remnant that maintained the Living God's proper masculine leadership order. Although, one of Noah’s sons had a wild hair up his nose, Ham. Through Ham, defiance against a father’s authority, and his rules, surface once again. Resulting in yet another curse (Gen. 9:18-29). From Ham, the entire descendants of Canaan (Ham’s son) became slaves to the descendants of Shem (Israelites).
After Ham was given his consequence, he rushed off to the land of Nod, the homeland of Babylon, the Tower of Babel, known today as Iraq. By the way, Nod is the Lord's location He chased Cain into – east of the Garden. Through Ham’s settlement, Nimrod, Ham’s grandson, became the Babylonian Empire's father, which is spoken of from Genesis to Revelation’s book. Nimrod married his mother, Semiramis. As Nimrod was building the Tower of Babel, she required her son/husband to build a statue of herself, requiring all workers to stop and worship her once a week. Thus, birthing the world’s first goddess. Much later, Revelation’s book notes her as the Great Whore (Rev. 17:5).
As the Devil would have it, Semiramis became pregnant after sinfully indulging in an adulterous affair while married to Nimrod. Nimrod dies a violent and untimely death around this same time, supposedly at her lover's hand. For Semiramis to capture her son’s power and hide her sin, she makes a most daring claim. She publicly declares that upon Nimrod’s death, he had been resurrected as the god of the sun. As the sun-god, Nimrod used his sun rays to inseminate Semiramis with a child miraculously. This child was thus considered to be divinely conceived. The child’s name was Tammuz, which she claimed was the reincarnated Nimrod. Tammuz was then tagged with being a god of fertility, embodying the powers for a new life. History notes that this demonic doctrine became Satan’s first recorded event to replicate and ultimately replace the virgin birth of Jesus Christ & His resurrection. It is also noted that this event set off generations of women returning to the same sin Eve committed, submitting herself to a dominant gender-neutral god - Satan. Since Simiramis is considered the mother of all goddesses, female dominance began populating throughout the world. To keep it simple, the events surrounding Nimrod and his wife/mother set in motion Satan’s plan to one day introduce his all-powerful Great Whore (Rev. 17:15).
The Goddess movement gained momentum during the Egyptian era. Keep in mind that the Babylonian Empire established Egypt. Once Egypt began to fade into their pyramids' dust, Greece became the world center for the goddess movement. It was Greece that dominated all cultures with female divinity statues and propaganda. Then in 146 BC, after Rome's conquest of Greece, Rome adopted their democratic politics and their female divines. Note, feminism can only flourish within a democracy. Now glancing into the future, we see Revelation’s book specifically addressing Egypt, Greece, and Rome, placing all under the new Babylon label while giving credit to the Great Whore – the mother of all goddesses.
By the time the Roman empire had influenced the first generation church, the Roman State Church was established through Constantine. Through Rome’s influence, the organic Roman State Church (Catholic) adopted all the pagan idolatry of the goddess movement, which was originally propagated through Alexander the Great. As the Roman State-Church infiltrated Europe by placing Cardinals at the side of all kings, the Queen of Heaven's goddess ideologies began to overpower male masculinity by forcing the half-baked doctrines that “Mother Mary” has superior authority over Christ Himself, as the “Queen of Heaven,” which was a title Semiramis was given. During this period, politics and religion became one force –the same. For many generations, kings were not allowed to make political decisions without the agreement of a Catholic Cardinal, who a Pope guided. Although, the Reformation began to change all of that. But…needless to say, the goddess ideologies became a permanent signature in governing bodies.
It didn’t take long before Europe entangled itself in women’s suffrage. Women culturally moved from being protected by a man to protecting themselves despite a man - equal rights. This political shift took man’s passion away to protect women, leaving women to fend for themselves. Within a few short generations, men began to default to the same sin Adam committed in the Garden. Once men forsook women, women quickly realized that they would need the same privileges as men. The challenge was, once this train was in motion, it was impossible to stop. Thus, by the nineteenth century, the first wave of feminism began – the women’s suffrage movement. Within this movement, female and male abuse increased exponentially - faster than any time in history. This set off the second wave of feminism (1960s-1980s) – cultural inequalities, gender norms, and women in corporate society, which activated the sexual revolution. Since the lion’s share of men was slipping into passivity, it wasn’t long before the third wave hit our culture (1990s-2000s) – women in politics, corporate leadership, female pastors, boys to women, girls to men, and ultimately landing in the new “woke” modality of the Equality Act.
Eschalogically speaking, if Revelation’s book is right, and we know it is, a day is coming when the Great Whore will dominate all nations and religions.
“And he *said to me, "The waters which you saw where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.” (Revelation 17:15)
The Great Harlot is the same woman spoken of in early Babylon. In fact, the proof is tattooed on her forehead.
“…and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, "BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." (Revelation 17:5)
Is this Babylons Queen of Heaven? Is the Queen of Heaven of the Roman State-Church one and the same? Count on it. It is not limited to this discovery. Babylon’s Great Harlot is the mother of all feminism, and everywhere feminism has raised its ugly head – she is there. According to the Bible, feminism is at the root of all immorality and corruption. It is the cultural demise that will run the world into the ground, literally imploding the world as we know it. Get this.
“Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality." (Revelation 17:1-2)
Here is what you can expect from now until the Rapture.
Right now, the percentage of women in leadership is statistically stated at 73%. Expect that number to increase daily. Men will become less aggressive and more passive while struggling to find the balance between the two. As a general rule, men tend to be afraid of women – particularly dominant women. Women tend to be offended by men who press against their will. A result of Eve’s Garden experience. Due to this reality, the ideology of male privilege is now a myth. Documented facts prove this to be true.
Back in the late 70s, feminism began to dominate the productions of films, commercials, and generalized media. As a result, men appeared less and less as an equal role in productions and moved rapidly into “male-bashing” by a feminized lead role, minimally leaving the viewer with the modality that men are lesser and women are more responsible in leading all areas of life. Masculinity is soon to fade into a new movement I was made aware of this week – “Cancel Masculinity.” Soon you will see men with men (homosexuals) and women with women (lesbianism) dominate commercials, films, and media outlets. But be warned, if you speak up about the unbalanced presentation, you will be charged with a “hate crime.” A madness method detailed in our new Equality Act.
Again, Solomon was right. There is nothing new under the sun. While most labels get upgrades through the generations, one seems to remain the same – harlotry or prostitution. Some men are abt to blame women, but the truth being said, as in the case with God addressing Adam first, it all started with his sin of harkening (obeying) his wife over the mandates and structures of the masculine hierarchy of God the Father, and God the Son, conducted through the Holy Spirit. For a moment, pretend with me, what if Adam harkened to the voice of his Father over that of his wife? Well, I wouldn’t be writing this article today, let alone would feminism be an issue of our day. What we would have is a perfect world, a defeated Satan, and an environment that would match our new Earth’s system of governance. Don’t fret; God is in the process of imploding humanity one more time to usher authentic Bridal members of Christ to a place managed by His true masculine self - a new Earth that will prove our thesis today.
It isn’t an issue of the battle of the sexes. It isn’t an issue of male privilege. Nor is it an issue of men being better than women. However, it is an issue of maintaining the masculine governing system established by God. Leadership doesn’t equate “better,” it equates co-heirs of the Grace of God while being immovable in the methods God the Father (He) and God the Son (He) matriculates down to humanity.
“For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.” (Ephesians 5:23)
I’m pretty sure that God was not jesting when he imparted these words to Paul. As per my norm, I like to reverse passages to help me understand false cultural doctrines. For the wife is head of the husband, as Christ submits to the heads of the churches, He Himself being a subject to the Great Whore. That is nothing short of heresy. The truth being said, sadly, this is the world we live in today. The irony of Satan’s sleight-of-hand leaves the world without a Savior.
So, you see, masculinity not only matters, it is the cornerstone for the Church to survive the end times. It is a cornerstone that will never be moved by any erroneous movement of a human, demon, or Satan himself. The next modality I’m expecting is ‘Cancel God.’
