Although many of his views are open to question, it is indisputable that the Ugaritic and other Northwest Semitic texts have revolutionized our understanding of the Bible. One matter in which this is certainly the case is the subject of this paper, Asherah.' Until the discovery of the Ugaritic texts in 1929 and subsequent years it was common for scholars to deny the very existence of the goddess Asherah, whether in or outside the Bible, and many of those who did accept her existence wrongly equated her with Astarte.

  • Idolatry in the Ancient Near East1
    Idolatry in the Ancient Near East1 Ancient Near Eastern Pantheons Ammonite Pantheon The chief god was Moloch/Molech/Milcom. Assyrian Pantheon The chief god was Asshur. Babylonian Pantheon At Lagash - Anu, the god of heaven and his wife Antu. At Eridu - Enlil, god of earth who was later succeeded by Marduk, and his wife Damkina. Marduk was their son. Other gods included: Sin, the moon god; Ningal, wife of Sin; Ishtar, the fertility goddess and her husband Tammuz; Allatu, goddess of the underworld ocean; Nabu, the patron of science/learning and Nusku, god of fire. Canaanite Pantheon The Canaanites borrowed heavily from the Assyrians. According to Ugaritic literature, the Canaanite pantheon was headed by El, the creator god, whose wife was Asherah. Their offspring were Baal, Anath (The OT indicates that Ashtoreth, a.k.a. Ishtar, was Baal’s wife), Mot & Ashtoreth. Dagon, Resheph, Shulman and Koshar were other gods of this pantheon. The cultic practices included animal sacrifices at high places; sacred groves, trees or carved wooden images of Asherah. Divination, snake worship and ritual prostitution were practiced. Sexual rites were supposed to ensure fertility of people, animals and lands. Edomite Pantheon The primary Edomite deity was Qos (a.k.a. Quas). Many Edomite personal names included Qos in the suffix much like YHWH is used in Hebrew names. Egyptian Pantheon2 Egyptian religion was never unified. Typically deities were prominent by locale. Only priests worshipped in the temples of the great gods and only when the gods were on parade did the populace get to worship them. These 'great gods' were treated like human kings by the priesthood: awakened in the morning with song; washed and dressed the image; served breakfast, lunch and dinner.

  • The Asherah Pole
    Christian Idolatry Then and Now: The Asherah Pole Author: Pierre Dungee www.getyouranswersonline.com In this short book, we are going to look at the Asherah pole. Just so we have a working knowledge of idolatry, let’s look at what and idol is defined as: noun 1. a material object, esp a carved image, that is worshipped as a god 2. Christianity Judaism any being (other than the one God) to which divine honour is paid 3. a person who is revered, admired, or highly loved We also have the origin of this word, so let’s take a look at it here: o mid-13c., "image of a deity as an object of (pagan) worship," o from Old French idole "idol, graven image, pagan god," o from Late Latin idolum "image (mental or physical), form," used in Church Latin for "false god," o from Greek eidolon "appearance, reflection in water or a mirror," later "mental image, apparition, phantom,"also "material image, statue," from eidos "form" (see - oid). o Figurative sense of "something idolized" is first recorded 1560s (in Middle English the figurative sense was "someone who is false or untrustworthy"). Meaning"a person so adored" is from 1590s. From the origins of the word, you see the words ‘pagan’, ‘false god’, ‘statue’, so we can correctly infer that and idol is NOT a good thing that a Christian should be looking at or dealing with. The Lord has given strict instructions about idols as you can see in scripture here: Leviticus 26:1 - Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

    P a g e | 1 Third Presbyterian Church Tuesday Bible Study Old Testament Tour – 2 Kings 23 Lesson 97 – Covenant Renewed 2 Kings 23:1-37 (NIV) 1 Then the king called together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 2 He went up to the temple of the LORD with the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, the priests and the prophets--all the people from the least to the greatest. He read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant, which had been found in the temple of the LORD. 3 The king stood by the pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the LORD--to follow the LORD and keep his commands, regulations and decrees with all his heart and all his soul, thus confirming the words of the covenant written in this book. Then all the people pledged themselves to the covenant. 4 The king ordered Hilkiah the high priest, the priests next in rank and the doorkeepers to remove from the temple of the LORD all the articles made for Baal and Asherah and all the starry hosts. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron Valley and took the ashes to Bethel. 5 He did away with the pagan priests appointed by the kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the towns of Judah and on those around Jerusalem--those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations and to all the starry hosts. 6 He took the Asherah pole from the temple of the LORD to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem and burned it there.

  • Week 1 Elijah the Prophet Wednesday Bible Study
    Week 1 Elijah the Prophet Wednesday Bible Study Elijah and Ahab 1 Kings 16:29-17:6 After the death of Solomon in 931 BC, the kingdom of Israel split into a northern and southern kingdom. Solomon’s son, Rehoboam the rightful heir, ruled in the Southern Kingdom of Judah, with the real capital of Jerusalem. His kingdom was made up of two tribes, Judah and Benjamin. The northern kingdom of Israel was led by Jeroboam and was made up of the other ten tribes. Samaria was its capital. Elijah was called by God to be a prophet primarily to the northern king- dom of Israel in 870 BC. His name means “My God is Yahweh”. He served during the reigns of Ahab and Ahaziah in Israel. Two of the most evil kings in Israel’s his- tory. 1. A Wicked King. 1 Kings 16:29-34 Ahab did more evil in the sight of the Lord that any king before him. vs.30 He considered it trivial the sins of Jeroboam: 1 Kings 12:25-33; He married a foreign woman, forbidden by God’s law. Deut. 7:3-4. Ahab formalized Baal worship in Israel. Baal (storm-god Hadad) was the most important God among the Canaanite peoples. Israel, divided or undivided was continually tempted to adulterate themselves and worship this false God.. In Ancient Near Eastern thought, the plural Baals referred to various attributes of the one Baal, however came to be thought of as independent gods by some. Worship of Baal involved human sacrifice, Incense and other sacrifice and fertility rights.

  • The 'Jezebel Spirit ': a Scholarly Inquiry
    Original Research The ‘Jezebel spiriT’: A scholArly inquiry Authors: ABSTRACT Trudie Stark1 Queen Jezebel is rightly recognised as one of the powerful women in the Old Testament. In the Hans J.M. van Deventer1 biblical text she is introduced as a ‘foreign’ queen and wife to Ahab, the 8th century king of the northern kingdom, Israel. This article examines some of the interpretations of this character in Affiliations: the church over the centuries. The focus falls on the latest development in this regard whereby, 1Faculty of Humanities, in some circles, the biblical character is linked to the existence of a ‘Jezebel spirit’ within the North-West University contemporary church. On the basis of a narratological reading of the Jezebel texts it is indicated (Vaal Triangle Campus), that such an interpretation is unfounded and fails to take cognisance of developments in biblical South Africa interpretation related to literary understandings of the text. Correspondence to: Hans van Deventer INTRODUCTION e-mail: Jezebel is doubtless the most infamous of all the female figures in the Hebrew Bible. She is seen as the hans.vandeventer@nwu. embodiment of feminine evil. References by evangelical preachers to Jezebel as a ‘spirit’ create an enemy ac.za ‘outside’ the individual rather than confronting personal sin. Frangipane (1994:119) refers to Jezebel as a stronghold of immense proportions, a way of thinking that exists unchecked in most churches.

  • The Argei: Sex, War, and Crucifixion in Rome
    THE ARGEI: SEX, WAR, AND CRUCIFIXION IN ROME AND THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST Kristan Foust Ewin, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2012 APPROVED: Christopher J. Fuhrmann, Major Professor Ken Johnson, Committee Member Walt Roberts, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Ewin, Kristan Foust. The Argei: Sex, War, and Crucifixion in Rome and the Ancient Near East. Master of Arts (History), May 2012, 119 pp., 2 tables, 18 illustrations, bibliography, 150 titles. The purpose of the Roman Argei ceremony, during which the Vestal Virgins harvested made and paraded rush puppets only to throw them into the Tiber, is widely debated. Modern historians supply three main reasons for the purpose of the Argei: an agrarian act, a scapegoat, and finally as an offering averting deceased spirits or Lares. I suggest that the ceremony also related to war and the spectacle of displaying war casualties. I compare the ancient Near East and Rome and connect the element of war and husbandry and claim that the Argei paralleled the sacred marriage. In addition to an agricultural and purification rite, these rituals may have served as sympathetic magic for pre- and inter-war periods. As of yet, no author has proposed the Argei as a ceremony related to war. By looking at the Argei holistically I open the door for a new direction of inquiry on the Argei ceremony, fertility cults in the Near East and in Rome, and on the execution of war criminals.

  • Jeremiah, the Deuteronomic Prophet Studies in the Theology and the Life of Jeremiah
    Jeremiah, the Deuteronomic Prophet Studies in the Theology and the Life of Jeremiah by Daniel J. Lewis © Copyright 1990 by Diakonos, Inc Troy, Michigan United States of America 2 PREFACE Outside of academic circles, the prophets of the Old Testament take a decided back seat in biblical studies. For laypersons, the prophets are difficult to follow, and their messages seem to lack relevancy for the 21st century. Narrative literature, such as is found in the books of Joshua through Kings, is much simpler, at least on the surface. What little time is spent on the prophets is usually given to the attempt to either buttress an eschatological scheme of one sort or another or else uncover messianic predictions which have a direct connection with the New Testament. Christian ministers fare somewhat better, but still, the prophets do not make for easy preaching material, outside of a few well-worn passages. In the end, the average church attendant probably knows little or nothing about the writings of the prophets. This lack is especially problematic when one considers that there are two historical foci in the Old Testament, the exodus and the exile. The prophets are the 3 ones who give theological meaning to this latter event, and I am well within the mark when I say that it is every bit as significant as the first one. In one sense, the exile was the exodus in reverse. The nation which was liberated and planted in the land of promise, a land from which she was never to be uprooted, was driven out and scattered among the other nations.

    Naked Bible Podcast Episode 117: Ezekiel 8-9 Naked Bible Podcast Transcript Episode 117 Ezekiel 8-9 September 10, 2016 Teacher: Dr. Michael S. Heiser (MH) Host: Trey Stricklin (TS) Episode Summary Ezekiel 8 and 9 falls in the section of Ezekiel that concerns two themes: the punishment of Jerusalem and the departure of the glory of God. In Chapter 8 we’re introduced to some specific points of Israelite idolatry – worship of Asherah and worshipping the creator as though he were part of creation. Ezekiel 9 hearkens back to our earlier episode about God keeping a record of the faithful. The judgment vision also takes us back to similar events like the death angel at Passover. Transcript TS: Welcome to the Naked Bible Podcast, Episode 117—Ezekiel chapters 8 and 9. I’m the layman, Trey Stricklin, and he’s the scholar, Dr. Michael Heiser. Hey Mike, how’re you doing this week? MH: Very good, very good Trey, how are you? TS: I’m doing pretty good! Things are normal… things are normal. And we’re moving right along through Ezekiel.
