Women weep for the death of the god of fertility.

Ezekiel 8:14

“Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.” Ezkiel 8:14

Tammuz was a god associated with fertility and new life, which inspired sensual and sexual passions among the worshippers. Every year, the Israelite women mourned the death of Tammuz in a ritual similar to how people visit the graves of their loved ones to grieve their loss. Ezekiel witnessed people mourning for the god of lust and pleasure at the entrance of the temple of the Lord.

Jesus Christ died on the Cross to atone for sin and make us the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Holy Spirit. He brings life to us in the Spirit and frees us from allowing the carnal desires of the human beast to rule over us. “Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?” 1 Corinthians 6:18-19

The entity that has power over physiology sees the arousal of sensual and sexual desires as a way to captivate the will of the person. As people feel enjoyment by living for the passions of the flesh, opposition is created against the Spirit. When people exalt carnal desires over the Spirit, the door opens to accepting the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say. That’s because this entity opposes the Spirit and hardens the human spirit against Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit has this to say, “Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh;” Galatians 5:16-17

As followers of Jesus Christ, we live for the Spirit and moderate life in the flesh. Those who govern and live for the entity giving people what to feel and do, weep when people die to the flesh and live to the Spirit. We die to drinking from the cup of demons and live by the food given to us through Jesus Christ, “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He? All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.” 1 Corinthians 10:21-23

There is a gate within our spirit and soul that leads into the presence of the Spirit. At this gate we have to decide whether to live for Jesus Christ in the Spirit or to live by the will of the flesh. By choosing Jesus, we dedicate our body to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. If we choose the way of this world then we serve the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 He sits within people, the temple of God, through the entity giving them what to think, feel, do, and say. Click here for a post on the “man of sin”.

After almost six years of working as a janitor in a church/Christian school (retired in 2020), I know how the heat of sensual and sexual allure is used. I’m not going to talk about the short shorts that the young women wear, nor the short shear skirts, nor the sweet seductive smiles, nor the wet t-shirt exposition that they call baptisms, nor the gentle brushes of their body against me, and the list goes on and on. The women are more in love with sensual fertility than they are with arousing interest in Jesus Christ. They corrupt the house of God. Their power for enticing others to accept the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say (or to incite aggressively bad behaviors) rests in that fertility. If fertility dies, or they are ignored, then they mourn because they lose their power of enticement.

The whole purpose of sexual/sensual enticement is to lure people into allowing the image of the beast to live and speak through them through the entity giving them what to feel and think. They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.
