- 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.
I have come to the same conclusion! It just doesn't make sense to say there is no mother goddess
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.
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.

Yahweh is Hebrew for Husband-Wife. Yah means Husband. Hey means wife. Genesis says in the image of God, He created them male and female. It's right there. God is male and female in the Bible, it's hidden in English and Spanish, and probably other Western languages. It's Western Civ that messed it up, not the Bible in and of itself. I personally believe Holy Spirit is the feminine. Comforter, mysterious as the wind, brings peace, always close by like a mother. Plus it just makes sense that it would be Father, Mother, Son. "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" always sounded weird to me because a Father needs a Mother to make a Son. Mary was the human mother, but Heavenly speaking, Jesus needs a Divine Mother. Now I get it, Holy Spirit is our Mother.
Also, another Hebrew word used for God is El Shaddai, which translates to "Almighty Many Breasted One." "Many Breasted" because She has enough love for all Her children. We have a Father who watches over and protects us and teaches us skills, disciplines. We have a Mother who is in the heart of believers and knocking on the hearts of unbelievers, to love, comfort, listen, nurture, give advice.

Lord, I feel my life being renewed
John Sanford- at minute 9:30 "you cant belive that in one week 7 you would be eating dust and sweating!"
Genius 3:19- By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Yahweh is already male and female. Yah means Husband. Hey means wife. Yahweh is Husband-Wife. They "spoke" to each other and the Word came forth, Jesus (John 1) and the Creation (Genesis 1&2). In this way, God is 1, as husband and wife are 1, the 2 become 1 flesh. In the image of God, male and female.
Furthermore, the Hebrew word El Shaddai refers to "The Almighty Many Breasted One".
The God of the Bible does not need another deity. The 1 is already dual male and female, Husband-Wife. And the 1 are triune, as The Perfect Son is perfectly 1 with the Father and Mother, who are also One. Jesus, the Word is the literal God become flesh AND He is symbolic of the new creation
Adam represents man and the original creation. When Eve and Adam together committed adultery with the serpent (had a threesome with Satan), Eve became pregnant with fraternal twins from Adam and Satan, a rare phenomenon but not impossible even today in a threesome. This brought a curse on the Earth, which is why Jesus had to come and restore man through His sacrifice. As His followers, He restored us with His blood and uses us to continue restoring creation. With each martyrdom death of a little Christ, a Christian, we participate in Christ's sacrifice. As He sacrificed to restore humanity, little Christ's are killed by followers of Satan, the dark one or the evil one, they are used by Jesus in His work of restoring the Earth. Once it's complete at the end of the battle of Armageddon, all the dead in Christ will arise in the new Creation, and the work will be complete.
Anyways, 1 in 2 in 3, that's the God of the Bible. God is Husband-Wife, 2 in 1, with a Holy Son that is 1 with them. Just as Ometeotl of my ancestors. They got off in a lot of ways, but they were correct in Ometeotl (Dual Deity), the Deity of deities; and in the feminine aspects of Ometeotl seen in Tonantzin (Our Mother/The Earth/Mary). Yahweh hated the worship of Ashera as she distracted from Their nature as Male-Female already. Yah does not need another wife. In the same matter, Adam did not need Lilith. Eve did not remain pure, she slept with Satan and convinced Adam to join in her adulterous affair. In doing so, she participated in and learned the ways of rebelliousness, open sexuality, and everything else often associated with "Lilith." Eve is the virgin-slut complex in and of herself.
Also, all of this history only confirms the Bible. The Bible is clear all throughout the OT that the Israelites often worshipped other gods, oftentimes for long periods of time. The Bible is also clear that there are gods, but that Husband-Wife and Holy Son are 1 and is the God of gods and Lord of Lords.
I used to be a Christian but then when you dissect and question everything in the Bible says it quickly falls apart
I only pray to God of heaven nothing else... so it appears that I don't belong to any religion. Lol whatever
Yes the Bible itself was put together and written by men with connections to Rome. Written by men with secret and malevolent motives. They lied and said the apostates wrote the books.

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?
The Goddess is great )O(
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!
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.
Keep showing love 💛 We appreciate it more than you think @grace
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”
Bring back the feminine like yesterday or we are all going to die!
The original writers of Old Testament loved her 100 times more than even I.... the gifts and titles bestowed upon her were truly amazing !!
English is crapola !
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.
🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
1 Corinthians 3:19
She was the consort of El who was the "most high" of the Elohim. Later El also the Hebrew word for God, was later known in Arabic ad Allah. That's when Yahweh showed up and merged with El and Asherah. Yahweh could be Enlil or may even be a word like Elohim and represents a council., possibly within the Elohim.
As with many things in the bible 7 is a big number. The gods had 7 spirits masculine and feminine. They are all connected. They usually appear as 4 gods which is like the Trinity 3 into 1 (4). I see this energetic patterns across the board, all antiquity. Material forms change but the energetic forms do not.
If you read the Old Testament, you will see that God punishes his people for worshipping false gods (like the Queen of Heaven mentioned in Jeremiah 44). Read the Bible! The entire problem with humanity is that we continually stray from the one true God, and worship false Gods. The Jews, and humanity as a whole, have ALWAYS STRAYED and worshipped false Gods. This documentary is not exposing anything new. This doesn't change the requirement of the Lord that we shall have no other Gods Before Him. God PUNISHED His people for worshipping other Gods. He PUNISHED His people for sacrificing their children to Baal. He PUNISHED his people for making offerings to false Gods. His people witnessed God's power and miracles as he helped them escape Egypt (read Exodus). Even after seeing Him part the Red Sea, kill the Egyptian Army, make water come from the rock, lead them with a pillar of smoke and fire, THEY STILL MADE A GOLDEN CALF to worship.
These "discoveries" only reinforce what the Bible says about how wicked the human heart is. How easily we will stray from the One True God (which is the First Commandment " You shall have no other Gods before me."). How easily we forget when God helps us. This does not make idols true. This highlights how weak the human condition is. 3:45
I encourage anyone to pick up their Bible and read it. Ask God to help you understand how you are just like everyone in the Bible. How easily we can stray from the one true God. This is why Jesus came: Because no matter how good a human tries to be, we can never be good enough for God's standards. We stray.
Also, God is a God with three parts, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Of course He refers to Himself in the plural.
Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. He freely gave up His life so we can follow God's requirements.
Isaiah 53:5-5-6 says, " But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace on him and by his wounds we are healed. We all like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
More like dismissed from the bible. Asherah, a goddess in ancient Semitic religion, was removed from Hebrew scripture due to the monotheistic reforms of the Israelites. According to the biblical account, Asherah was the name of a fertility goddess and the wooden cult object dedicated to her. The Israelites were commanded not to worship idols or any other false gods, and Asherah was seen as a symbol of paganism. So, basically Yaweh took them out to the woodshed.
Maria and not miriam
The code name for Gods wife in the Old Testament is “Wisdom”
Mother Goddess.
The Feminine, The Holies, Mother Earth... Score !!
Not true the word wisdom stands for the son of God, Jesus Christ
i don’t think so.
1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. Proverbs 8
the Israelites were actually a Canaanite people
This is absurd.
Ignorant people. Stuck in the past.
Ignorant people that believe last week is the past... nothing important started with the palace but its acolytes sure talk like it a lot.
God HATES idolatry. That is the abomination that Greatly Angers Him! This is the biggest reason for great earthquakes in these last days! As in the days of Noah so shall it be!!
nice story , we now know its all garbage
You mean god hates competition.
Earthquakes are a natural phenomenon from having tectonic plates on a planet
The true and the Living God did not have a wife. The Evil queen jezabel worshiped baal and asherah(ashteroth) HER husband was Ahab! In the Ten Commandments it says Thou shalt have no other gods before me!
If you open your mind to reality, you will see that there was always a goddess for every god. However the Goddess was first, as women do actually give birth to men ~ and the Yang cannot exist without the Yin.
sure John has all the accurate information and everyone else is wrong what a dork.
