Quite shocking stuff, all very true and found directly in the Bible. The Bible is such a huge book, many of these things go unnoticed, but when one has the time to take a closer look, it certainly gets clearer.

I laughed so much at the "Sex, obscenities and filth" chapter.....it is quite shocking but I think in life that by looking at the funny side of things, it helps us to stay sane. The author's witty comments are brilliant!

From "The Dark Bible", this passage affirms a few truths -

Virtually every human civilization in the Middle East, before and through Biblical times, practiced some form of female goddess worship. Archeologists have confirmed that the earliest law, government, medicine, agriculture, architecture, metallurgy, wheeled vehicles, ceramics, textiles and written language had initially developed in societies that worshiped the Goddess. Later the goddesses became more war-like with the influence of the northern invaders who slowly replaced the goddesses with their mountain male war gods. So why doesn't the Bible mention anything about the Goddess? In fact it does, but in disguise from converting the name of the goddesses to masculine terms. Many times "Gods" in the Bible refers to goddesses. Ashtoreth, or Asherah, named of masculine gender, for example, actually refers to Astarte- the Great Goddess. The Old Testament doesn't even have a word for Goddess. The goddesses, sometimes, refers to the Hebrew word "Elohim" (masculine plural form) which later religionists mistranslated into the singular "God." The Bible authors converted the ancient goddess symbols into icons of evil. As such, the snake, serpents, tree of knowledge, horns (of the bull), became associated with Satan. The end result gave women the status of inferiority, a result which we still see to this day.

Quite shocking indeed. Funny thing is, I've read the Bible from cover to cover perhaps a dozen times, yet somehow I managed to gloss over a fair percentage of the more shocking material highlighted on that site without noticing it. I guess that's because my mind has a hard time comprehending the fact that this sort of stuff is actually found in a book that we call "holy".

As I was perusing the site, I couldn't help but be reminded of a comment made by an Indian guru, Swami Prabhupada, regarding the scriptures of the "big three", i.e. the Bible and the Koran:"The sastras of the yavanas (meat-eaters), are not eternal scriptures. They have been fashioned recently, and sometimes they contradict one another. The scriptures of the yavanas are three: the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Koran. Their compilation has a history; they are not eternal like the Vedic knowledge. Therefore, although they have their arguments and reasoning, they are not very sound and transcendental. As such, modern people advanced in science and philosophy deem these scriptures unacceptable." (Cc Adi. 17,169 purport), Source: http://vedabase.net/cc/adi/17/169/

circumcision; which symbolizes in two tradtional phrases, being "sealed into the Covenant" and "coming under the wings [protection] of the Shekinah". By the marking of its member, the child becomes a member of the Community of Israel, both in its literal aspect and in its Kabbalastic aspect ("Community of Israel" being one of the terms denoting the Shekinah). This rite is applicable to infants and to adult converts (to whom the phrase "coming under the Shekinah" is often applied), and it is the essential rite of initiation into the Community


The circumcised child is literally the Child Crowned and Conquering, even if he and every one else is unaware of it. He has married the Shekinah, and the physical mark upon the sexual organ is one sign of this.
And what is the Shekinah? And why does the marriage to the Shekinah put an end to the power of Lilith? Because the Shekinah is Nuit, and the Child has thus attained Nuit, and (on the symbolic level at least) put Babalon/Lilith back into Her proper place, as part of the Child's own Self. For Lilith when recognized/integrated as one's Self loses her destructive power, or rather the power is properly directed and recognized as fruitful.

Of the all the figures in Midrash, it is Lilith who is most clearly Babalon. It might therefore be helpful to investigate her.
Lilith, aside from a stray reference comparing her to a "screechowl" (the translation is debatable), does not appear in the Bible itself. It is in Rabbinic midrash (presumably relying on earlier legends) that we find the full delineation of Lilith.

Heh.


A classic case of out of context misdirection.
Ezekiel was commanded to take on a 390 day symbolic siege of Jerusalem to equal 390 years of sin.
Initially in Ez.4;12 God said to bake his barley cake using human excrement for FUEL. In Ez.4;14 Ezekiel protested saying he had "never defiled himself from his youth till now". So God says in in verse 15. "Very well, I will let you bake your bread over cow manure instead of human excrement." (New International Version)
