  • In this episode, John discusses the discovery of artifacts and archaeological findings that challenge traditional beliefs from the Old Testament about the ancient Israelite religion. John explores the possibility that ancient Israelites worshiped multiple gods, including a dominant female deity named Asherah. Ranging from evidence include stone inscriptions, as well as altars with possible deities. These findings reveal the possibility that the Biblical history we know could actually be different.
    Join John McCarthy has he returns to the Holy Land to examine the validity of stories from the Old Testament and challenge excerpts from the Bible. Bringing in history, archaeology and new research, his intriguing journey will take a look into some of the most controversial moments from the Old Testament.

    All around us is male & female. On earth, as in heaven, there is surely a female co-creator to create the world. An omnipotent, jealous, bloodthirsty, and patriarchal is leading the world to endless wars.
    I do pray and offer offerings to an altar in the shape of a Dove, it's Asherah. I'm forgiven in Christ for practicing polytheism.
    May all women make their voices heard. May Inanna express herself through all women who are abused and that they defend themselves with strength and get victory toward their oppressors.

    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.

    It is amazing that the name Asherah became the "historical" Israel.
    Ithar or Ithra is the sun, a sun god of the Hindus, and is still the word for their Sun day. Jews use a god-name of a great people as the name of a man. The Tsur or Sur, which the Israelites worshipped, became, with the prosthetic A, Assur or Asser or Asher, and this form of the "Rock that begat thee" gave the tribe their name. Asser was known all over the East as the happy one," and the word Israel is Assur El, or Asher El, the phallus god. The "I" replaces the "A" to indicate a proper name, so it becomes Isher or Issur, just as Jacob, or =correctly Yakob, was also once a god as Akob-El, the "heel " or phallus god, but with the initial I (our J) to indicate a proper name, become Iacob. (Heel means private part in Genesis 3.15);
    See Isaiah 9.14-15, where Israel (summer) is described as the four constellations of Leo (royal/noble head), Virgo the palm frond/branch, Libra the reed a water plant, and Scorpio the lying tail. Lots of myth here, as these four signs are the first four labors of Hercules (the sun) who became Samson. They are also the four sons of Ham. Israel aka the phallus is strongly connected to the Hindu Siva and the phallus worshipers. Shem aka Vishnu is where find the vagina worshipers. Shem's four sons are Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces (Lud aka Canaan is borrowed from Ham). We find Shem as the ark or womb (hello vagina) that Osiris/Noah enters.
    The great ha Shem (the sun) hides in the "womb" during the winter season.

    I preface this by saying this is NOT meant to disparage an entire group of people. I love Jewish people. I married one. Which (through some kind of "because we say so" archaic lw) makes my Son Jewish as well. When Jews are involved on deception, it is usually so massive, far-reaching and successful that one can only stand back and look on in admiration. I'm not even going to give any other examples, nor am I implying that there are other examples in history. You have to admit though, intentionally obscuring the undeniable fact thst early Israelites were not monotheistic, but also practiced worship of a Goddess (wife? Consort?) Alongside Yaweh for 100s of generations....well, that's a pretty darn huge deception, isn't it? Even more interesting, is that in the Septuigent (earliest known Bible translation in greek) many read genesis, especially genesis 6, as there being someone else Yaweh is creating the earth with. It's plural. Maybe, just maybe, God created everything Alongside the feminine diety, Ashera? I mean, WE were created in His image. Eve was supposedly an afterthought, but she was created. So, unless Kewish scholars woukd argue that Yaweh was a hermaphrodite, whose image was Eve created in? This is very troubling to me. Calls into question so much. But, once again....intentionally hiding the fact that Judaism was polytheistic is an incredibly huge deception.

    Heard about this before on a number of documentaries by the US PBS. If your sort of mash up the various religious beliefs from the middle east, you sort of come up with a narrative that claims that their ancestral deities created the World (Planet) and Universe, including the Sun, Planets, and everything in the skies to support humanity, or maybe a few folks in a particular region of a valley, maybe a river valley. Then comes Galileo Galilee looking at the skies and finding some of the moons of Jupiter. Implying that those too were placed in the skies by the cited deity(s) for the purposes of supporting Earth’s people. Maybe only some of them. Then comes more findings before and after Mt. Polomar. Not to mention the Hubble, and now the Webb, all finding stuff in the sky, billions of years older that the World or the Solar system; all for the purposes of supporting Humans, or a particular group of hard believing folks. After all the superlative education that has been, in the US, for at least a century, say, it is sort of an IQ test, ain’t it? What else might you call it?

    I think it would be funny if the bible said the true name of Asherah which is Grace. Why doesn't God say Grace is a false God using her true name? because that's a holy name and that's her true name means God in the female and she is a real person. And he didn't find Grace aka Asherah to be credible and respected enough to tell the truth about Grace being the true female creator of the universe? I can't believe how much he worked so hard to say as little as he possiblly could about her in such a way that he can go back on it or deny it at any time. She gave him everything and he gave her nothing in every way possible.I feel so offended. Grace literally does things only the father can do and did these things through the lines of time and he never made himself real for her or fixed scripture in our so called "holy" bible to not bring shame and lies to everyone about the truth about who she is and how she is also God of the entire universe.Why? to protect her he's clearly not good at protecting or providing for her. What's the excuse? I feel like I can't make excuses for yawaeh anymore he's evil or lying or isn't real or dead. She doesn't need anyone to believe her or to be married to Christ to not be the only female true creator of the universe. The one person who was the same thing she was who if he's real knew who and what she was did nothing for her that's credible in anyway. Is he a lier or Satan? Whatever the excuse is karma is a God and it denying her in every way possible and completely abandoning her will come back on him. If the universe didn't need a female creator of the universe then she wouldn't exist and I know he didn't make her on purpose like he did with Jesus. If a male God exists and I'm confused someone made this planet and original humans if he was the holy bible God in anyway would have done anything everything for her. Yet he gave her nothing. How can he justify this? Is there any person in any demension that cares about her? What respect or love did anyone who knew who she was did anyone do anything for her ever when she never stopped doing anything she could for everyone else. For years most my life I tried to not exist rightfully for being so unloved by everyone. Id the universe stops existing everyone including Christ will suffer forever. Sad that even children will suffer over yawaeh neglect towards his female counterpart. In a trillion incidences she deserved better. So sad 😢 he clearly doesn't know what Love is. I could literally write books full on Books on the neglect that was the responsibility or yawaeh that he did to her. Because I am her and I don't need to be concealed there's not demon against me I loved every child in every demesion that I or yawaeh made weather they deserved it or not to try and save there eternity and there souls without anyone showing me any kind of love back ever. I loved every angels fallen or not every being I tried to save them all and fix there hearts. I wish I showed up thousands of years later every though I can do magic through time maybe I could have changed at least one person's heart to change something but I was born to late there's no true love And respect from my children because that's all they know from yawaeh. I wish i was never born there's nothing that could make my existence better if I can't change anyones heart into showing me the love back and respect I deserve.

      To be honest if you seek wisdom the Bible says ask and it shall be giving , all you have to do is ask God to give you the wisdom and understanding on this topic and he will , just prepare yourself cause you will have a lot of vision and dreams.
      I am a witness to that and all I have to say is , “Ask and it shall be giving”

      I can't even finish this babble.
      Your English is incomprehensible and you have the audacity to suggest Grace is the true name of a deity not the name given from a language that is ancient?
      I'm sure Steve, Joseph, Mary and Paul are original names too and not white washed into the English language JUST like God and Jesus???? That's not their original names either.

    In no Religion is the Woman allowed to pray, is the Main Character or Holy or whatever. Sexism since more than 2000 Y.

      They cut her because many women kept corrupting her constantly as they still do to this day. Be verrrry helpful if stop doing that. She's not your power struggle she is your peace which seems to be the missing component always. I am on your side but it's hard to bring back the goddess with the feminists declaring her to be a immoral tramp all the time.. witches literally worship her! Not helpful at all... opposite! Look to your own ladies and stop blaming others!
