I read this post by someone that said, “this is the most complete explanation I can find of our current societal insanity.”
“When God is deleted from society it’s not that man will believe in nothing, it’s that he’ll believe in anything.”
Ancient writings from which we’ve ignored the warnings
“The Altered
“…It was Ishtar who would transform herself from female to male and back again. In this sense Ishtar herself was transsexual. So it should be no
surprise that transsexuality should appear in both her mythology and her worship.
…In the Akkadian version of the myth, the being sent to rescue Ishtar from the underworld was called Asushunamir, the assinnu. Again, it was an
intersexual, transsexual, or transgender entity, and again, the name, or appellation, was also the title of Ishtar’s cultic ministers, the
‘assinnu.’ In fact, the meaning of the name ‘assinnu’ is “man-woman.”
‘They turned out the [kurgarru], and [assinnu] (at) Eanna, whose manhood Ishtar
changed to womanhood to strike awe into the people.’2

To transform manhood into womanhood to “‘strike awe into the people’” would speak of something more substantial than effeminate behaviors and
the wearing of women’s garments. An ancient inscription from southern Turkey speaks of Ishtar’s altering of sexuality in especially graphic
terms;
‘May Ishtar…impress feminine parts into his male parts.’3

The cult of the goddess is believed to have involved castration…In one way or another, they were surgically altered.
It was, for them, an attempt to rid themselves of the characteristics of the gender in which they were born and move one step closer to the gender
they sought to emulate…
So if the goddess was to return to the modern world, what would we expect to take place? … In short, we would expect the return of transsexuality
or transgenderism. And this, again, is exactly what happened.
The Vulnerable
Ishtar was most often portrayed as a young woman. When she spoke of her transitioning from one gender to another, she spoke of becoming an
“exuberant young man” or a “noble young man.”4
4. “A Shir-Namshub to Inana (Inana I),” A:16-22.
The word ‘young’ is of significance. If the gods are to alter a nation or transform a civilization, if they are to take control of its future,
they must, as we have seen, possess its young. And so when it came to the confusing of gender and the breaking of its distinctions, it was the young
who would be especially vulnerable.
No generation had been so subjected to a barrage of gender blurring and confusion as that which came of age in the early part of the twenty-first
century… From 2009 to 2018 the number of girls seeking gender transition treatments in the United Kingdom alone skyrocketed by 4,515 percent.5 It
was another phenomenon unprecedented in human history.
5. Ciaran McGrath, “Investigation as Number of Girls Seeking Gender Transition
Treatment Rises 4,515 Percent, Express, updated September 16, 2018, https://

What was equally unprecedented was the fact that the greatest increases in those seeking or being referred to “gender reassignment” were now
young women. A generation possessed by the goddess was now doing as the goddess boasted of having done. ‘Young women’ were now seeking to become
‘young men.’
Suffer the Little Children
The altering of children’s bodies now became big business. Abortion facilities all over America added the transition of males into females and
females into males to their services of killing unborn children. In that they performed, under one roof, the rites of multiple gods.

…Schoolchildren were now being inducted into transgenderism through the words and authority of their teachers (and school counselors). They would
be taught that they could decide if they were to be a boy or girl…they were too young to understand the ramifications of what was happening. The
process of “reassigning” their gender would begin, often while their parents were kept from knowing what was happening to their child.
The Altered
Children’s entertainment, cartoons, video games, television, social media, movies, and other children’s media and influences joined in the
barrage.
…Celebrities, government leaders, educators, business leaders, physicians, surgeons, and activists all joined the crusade to promote the altering
of children…What could have possessed them to embrace and champion such a thing that, in any previous generation, would have been viewed as madness?
An Idol of One’s Own Being
If, in a pagan universe, one fashions one’s own idol, builds one’s own god, and thus creates one’s own reality, then in such a universe, one
can create or re-create the reality of oneself. So as the work of the gods and the paganization of the West progressed, a woman could decide that her
personal reality was that she was actually a man or, for that matter, an animal or any other being.
But in order to put one’s reality into effect, one must nullify the reality that actually exists. Thus in order to create what is not reality, one
must nullify what is reality. And to re-create oneself, one must nullify one’s own existence. Self-creation thus becomes an act of
self-destruction.
And to create one’s own reality is to make an idol. And to create it out of oneself is to make an idol of one’s own being. And in the act of
transitioning, one must carve the idol so that it conforms to the reality one wants to create. And so the alteration of gender would always involve
the act of self-destruction.” Johnathon Cahn, The Return of the Gods, chapter 32.
