Mystic Egg of Astarte



















               Sacred Egg of Heliopolis and Typhon’s Egg

                     Heliopolis is a city of Egypt. Its name means “City of the Sun.” Semiramis was known
               there by the name Isis. Semiramis was a moon goddess, and therefore we see an image of
               the moon atop her sacred egg. A vast amount of additional information could be provided
               to further establish the association of Christmas and Easter with the worship of Baal and
               Asherah. To do so is beyond the scope of this book. One need only ask themselves where did
               all of these symbols, and practices arise?
                     Why do we not find in the Scriptures any mention of Christ’s disciples, or the early
               church observing Christmas celebrations? Why do we not find the apostles teaching along
                                                                                    th
               with the traditions of the church the giving of gifts on December 25 , or bringing decorated
               trees into the home? Why is there no admonition in the New Testament to celebrate the
               death, burial and resurrection of Christ with Easter Eggs, bunny rabbits, baskets of straw
               and flowers, SUNrise services, or ornamental bonnets? It is because all of these things find
               their  source  in  the  worship  of  Baal  and  Asherah,  which  the  church  has  now  almost
               universally adopted. Nevertheless, Yahweh has reserved unto Himself a remnant who will
               not bow the knee to Baal.
                     My purposes in sharing these things are several. First, I would have you to see the
               pervasiveness of the Jezebel spirit. Second, I would have you understand its attraction.
               Third, I would have you see how it enters the church, and how its influence is spread.
                     The most commonly identified characteristic of the Jezebel spirit today is observed
               in a woman who will not submit to man, who seeks rather to usurp authority over man. This
               is truly a characteristic of the Jezebel spirit, but if I were to ask most Christians how
               widespread this spirit is in the church a great many would say it is rare. They might point
               to a few extreme examples, such as women seeking to be ordained as ministers. Few
