HERE IS THE LATEST MADNESS COMING FROM THE MODERN WORLD...
Pagan Goddess of War Statue Unveiled at United Nations...
The
same multinational group that recreated the Palmyra Victory Arch and
sent it on a world tour has now recreated a statue of Athena, the Greek
goddess of war, for an exhibit in the United Nations, an organization
that claims to be working towards world peace but which one rabbi likens
to modern-day paganism. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) officially inaugurated
the Digital Archaeology Exhibition, “The Spirit in the Stone”, at the
United Nations’ headquarters in New York City last Thursday. The UAE,
the Italian mission to the UN, and the Institute of Digital Archaeology
(IDA) cooperated in re-creating a statue of the Greek goddess Athena for
the exhibit.
The
original Athena statue stood in Palmyra, Syria, until it was destroyed
by ISIS in 2015. The UAE announcement described the goddess as
“synonymous with reason, refuge and the rule of law, all of the same
values on which that historic institution was built,” but the statue
depicts Athena in her classic pose grasping a spear, belying her
prominent role as the Greek goddess of war. It
is also believed that the Greek goddess Athena was based on the earlier
Mesopotamian goddess Ashera and was later incorporated into early Islam
as al-Lāt, worshipped in Saudi Arabia as the consort of Allah mentioned
in the Koran. This would be consistent with the statue’s history at the
site in Palmyra, which was used as a temple by the Mesopotamians,
Romans, and Muslims in succession. image: https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/destroyed-statue.png Artifacts destroyed by ISIS. The broken statue of Athena is visible in the far corner. (Twitter/@3dprintindustry)Rabbi
Elad Dokow, the head rabbi and lecturer at Israel’s Technion Institute
of Technology, was not surprised that the United Nations would feature a
display of pagan symbols. “There
is currently an unmistakeable rise of paganism and idol worship in the
world, more than any other religion, and it is naive to believe this
display is disconnected from this phenomenon,” Rabbi Dokow told Breaking Israel News.
“Paganism creates the ability for each man to create his own truth, as
opposed to Judaism and Christianity, which state that there is an
objective truth man must abide by. The UN, like paganism, is a place of
subjective reality created by a vote.” “What
we are seeing in the world today is that every place Christianity grows
weak, paganism and idolatry grow stronger, and where Christianity
disappears, horrible things happen.” Though
an initiative bringing together the Muslim-majority UAE with Italy to
recreate a Greek pagan idol seems incongruous, just such a union was
described in Jewish prophecy, first alluded to in Psalms.
For
they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they
make a covenant; The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moav, and the
Hagrites. Psalms 83:6-7
The first century Jewish sage Jonathan ben Uzziel described how this Biblical alliance between Ishmael and Esau would reappear in war at the End of Days.
“Great
ships full of weapons will depart as a large fleet from Roman Italy and
will join up with a legion that will depart from Constantine [this is
Ishmael]. They will harm the inhabitants of other lands, and subjugate
the descendants of Eber [a reference to Israel].”
The
UAE has worked with the IDA in the past. Their first collaboration, the
3-D printed Arch of Palmyra, was prominently featured in the UN exhibit
as a full-size projection onto a screen. The original Arch of Palmyra
was a Roman victory arch that stood for 1,800 years in front of the
temple to the pagan god Ba’al in Palmyra until, like the statue of
Athena, it was destroyed by ISIS. image: https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/arch-syria.jpg The Colonnade in Palmyra, Syria, before it was destroyed by ISIS. (nikidel / Shutterstock.com)Ba’al
was the form of idol worship frequently mentioned in the Bible as
accompanying the worship of the female false goddess, Ashera.
They rejected all the commandments of Hashem
their God; they made molten idols for themselves—two calves—and they
made a sacred post [Ashera] and they bowed down to all the host of
heaven, and they worshiped Baal. II Kings 17:16
The reproduction of the Arch was first presented
in April last year at London’s Trafalgar Square for the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World
Heritage Week. The unveiling coincided with the most important pagan
holiday of the year, Beltane, ushering in a 13-day period known in the
occult as “the Blood Sacrifice to the Beast”, which was traditionally
celebrated with child sacrifice and bisexual orgies. Similar
to the current display of Athena at the UN, the Palmyra Arch was also
displayed at events associated with a world government. It was the
centerpiece of the World Government Summit in Dubai last February, and
appeared in Sarona, Italy in June, its display intentionally coinciding
with the the G7 Summit of world leaders.
Transgender Females Born Male Will Be Allowed to Use Same Showers, Tents With Girls in Girlguiding UK
U.K.’s leading organization for girls and young women has
announced that transgender members who are born male but identify as
females will be allowed to use the same shower facilities and stay in
the same tents as girls, in a bid to be more inclusive. Girlguiding U.K.,
which leads thousands of girls on adventures, camping trips and other
activities, announced in new guidelines posted on its website last week
that “young trans members should be able to share accommodation with
other young members if they wish.” “Some people may not feel
comfortable sharing accommodation so in this case an alternative option
should be provided.
This should be done discreetly, in conversation with the young person
and, if appropriate, their parent or carer,” it clarifies. When it
comes to using facilities, such as toilets, the rules say that members
are “entitled to use the facilities of the gender that they
self-identify as.” A Guides spokeswoman confirmed to The Mail on Sunday that
trans members can use the showers, toilets and changing rooms of their
gender identity, but revealed that parents would not be automatically
notified if their daughter is sharing facilities with a trans youth. READ MORE
Will robots soon replace your job?
More and more jobs are at risk of being outsourced to a
cheaper and more efficient robot. Is your job one of them – and if so,
will a universal basic income (UBI) prove to be the panacea for
increased automation? Many or most of us wish we could work shorter
hours and have more time for family, friends and fun. The struggle to
reduce the working day spans several generations. In the 19th century
our ancestors, fighting tooth-and-nail with banner in hand, won several
victories. Following the February 1848 Revolution in France, the
nation’s working day was capped at 12 hours. Four years earlier in the UK, the British Factory Act had reduced the maximum working
day to 12 hours for adults and 6.5 hours for children. In 1868 the US
congress approved an “Eight Hour Work Day for Employees of the
Government of the United States” and following the two revolutions of
1917, Russia’s new authorities reduced the working day to eight hours
and introduced both pensions and unemployment pay. Other governments
have followed suit over the past century and many countries now have
laws limiting the official working week for most jobs to around 40
hours. READ MORE
European Christians March Against ‘Christianophobia’ After Court Rules to Remove Cross from Pope Statue
Some 350 Europeans rallied together to protest a French
court’s decision to remove the cross from Pope John Paul II’s statue.
France’s State Council, the country’s highest court, said the cross
violated a 1905 law calling for the strict separation of church and
state. According to Express, the court says the statue can stay, but the cross must come down “within the next six months.”
Critics are calling the move a blatant example
of “Christianophobia.” Protestors, which included activists from the
groups “Front National” and “Don’t Touch My Cross,” demonstrated in
front of the statue, holding up signs saying “Stop Christianophobia” and
“Chase Christianism and you’ll get Islam.” The ruling also triggered
anger from the late pope’s native country of Poland. READ MORE
Twitter Users Celebrate Gay Nativity Scene
Twitter users celebrated a Christmas nativity scene
featuring two gay Josephs last week. “Our neighbor’s two Joseph nativity
is up & I’m beaming,” posted Cameron Esposito, host of Queery
Podcast, on Friday, along with a photo showing two models of Joseph
dressed in pink surrounding baby Jesus. The post,
which received over 20,000 likes, quickly went viral, receiving
praise from hundreds of accounts. Meanwhile, another account posted a
photo of their own “gaytivity” featuring two Marys.Last year, gay
nativity Christmas decorations were available to purchase online, before
being pulled following complaints, while in 2012, a Colombian couple displayed their own gay nativity. READ MORE
Judge Rules Military Must Start Admitting Transgender Troops on Jan 1st in New Blow to Trump Ban
President Donald Trump’s efforts to ban openly transgender
troops from serving in the U.S. military has been dealt with another
blow after a federal judge ruled that such recruits must be allowed in
starting Jan. 1. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly clarified on Monday a previous injunction issued in October that the U.S. military must follow former President Barack Obama’s memorandum last year, which paved the way for transgender troops to be recruited. “Any
action by any of the Defendants that changes this status quo is
preliminary enjoined,” Kollar-Kotelly wrote in the latest memo. The
judge also said that Defense Secretary James Mattis does not have the
discretion to delay the start of recruitment of openly trans soldiers. Vox pointed
out that Trump’s ban would have fully taken effect on March 2018,
though an appeal could still overturn the latest decisions. READ MORE
