The topic of Acts 19:23-41 is the goddess Diana, also known as the goddess Artemis. She was known as the goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, nature, vegetation, childbirth, care of children, chastity, and the daughter of the sky god. Diana/Artemis is a prophetic image of the god that governs the global government and its global culture of today. As outlined below.

Goddess of the Hunt: The phrase, “There’s one!” is common here in the United States. That phrase seems to come from thin air but is designed to put thoughts and emotions on alert that we are supposed to come against someone. This puts us in the attitude of the hunt. Today’s culture is obviously in the “hunt” frame-of-mind. They constantly express verbal disapproval against those who are not deemed to be part of their culture. There is also non-verbal disapproval by ignoring anyone who are not part of today’s culture. Today’s culture is driven by the god/goddess that gives them what to speak, do, feel, and think. That beast sees the followers of Jesus Christ as being the focus of the hunt. The intent is to drive Christianity into extinction by the hunt, as described in Revelations 12.

Goddess of the Wilderness: The wilderness represents a place where there is disbelief in God, rejection of Jesus Christ, and opposition to the presence of the Holy Spirit. The god/goddess of today’s culture governs over those who accept atheism as a way of life. This god/goddess corrupts the conscience and spirit, while oppressing the presence of the Holy Spirit, in order to give people what to speak, do, think, and feel. In that wilderness, it gives breath/life to the image of the beast to speak and live through people. People everywhere are being groomed to the mark, number, name of the beast by what they are given to speak and do. “And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb…” Revelations 13:7b-8 The “him” in that verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast.

Goddess of the Wild Animals: Wild animals are known to live in the wilderness. This refers to the atheistic god/goddess of this world governing over all those who reject God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. This also refers to having power over the physiology of animals the same as power over the physiology of human beings. Today’s culture rejects God as the Divine Creator and believes in creation without God. “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge… exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever…and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.” Romans 1:28, 25, 23

Goddess of Nature and Vegetation: The god/goddess of today’s global government and its global culture are very huge on preserving nature and the earth’s vegetation. They focus intently on the “ecological balance” between human beings, animals, the earth, and the “universe” as a whole. They are those who say that global warming is destroying the planet and all life on earth. In response, they urge everyone to do their part to unite with the “universe” to reverse the course of planetary destruction. However, global warming is the Fourth Plague mentioned in Revelations 16:8-9. The more powerful the United Nations become as the one world government the hotter and more intense the effects of global warming become. God expects us to repent of rejecting Him, Jesus, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. God warns against becoming one with the “universe” in the effort to find Salvation.

Goddess of Childbirth: The beast with power over physiology has taken control over childbearing rights. That is done by forming relationships, normalizing the killing of the unborn, and even the power over fertility or infertility. That is prophesied about in this following verse, “Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.” Genesis 6:1-2 The “sons of God” were like false gods, as described in the post on Genesis 6.

In order to give birth to children, there has to be two people involved in a relationship, however short that relationship may or may not be. Relationships are made or broken apart by the god/goddess that gives people feelings, what to say, what to do, and what to think. Relationships between the followers of Jesus Christ are ripped apart because the union of man and wife in the Holy Spirit are not wanted by today’s culture. Today’s culture base relationships on a mutual disbelief in God, rejecting the need for Jesus Christ, and opposing the presence of the Holy Spirit. Click here on the post about the bear that tears Christian relationships apart from Daniel 7:5. The killing of the unborn has become normalized, and is referred to as “Women’s Health Care”, “Planned Parenthood”, “Reproductive Rights” etc. Click here for a post on the elimination of Christian births from Revelations 12.

Goddess of the Care of Children: The god/goddess of today’ culture, which is global, considers all people to be under its authority. People are under the influence of the god/goddess that gives them what to feel, do, think, and say. Children are also under that influence, which means the god/goddess of this world considers itself to be the real parent and guardian over children. If a parent, schoolteacher, babysitter, etc. does not recognize the god/goddess of this world, then it becomes a harrowing experience trying to watch over children. For the beast not to be recognized as the one who cares for children, turns the god/goddess of this world into the likeness of a parent who has just had their child kidnapped. Vengeance and retribution are sought against the kidnapper.

Goddess of Chastity: In Jesus Christ, chastity refers to being pure in our service to God, not committing “fornication” nor “adultery” with the ways of this world. The god/goddess of this world considers itself to be chaste referring to not permitting “fornication” nor “adultery” with anything outside its realm of giving people what to do, think, feel, and say. Sexual chasteness is far from the practices of today’s culture. This explains why the killing of the unborn has been normalized and given humanitarian names such as “Reproductive Rights”, Planned Parenthood”, and “Women’s Health Care”. In the city where I live, sexually transmitted diseases have become a health crisis, and teenage pregnancies are extremely high. Sex education in the schools has become mandatory, not to teach abstaining from sex, but to teach how to avoid pregnancies and disease. “Safe Sex” is being promoted, and a cultural revolution unfolds in what used to be a Christian nation.

To say that sexual relations should be saved for marriage makes the followers of Jesus Christ the laughingstock and mockery of today’s culture. That’s because Christian values do not fit into the “chasteness” or fidelity of living for the beast that gives people what to feel, do, say, and think.

The Daughter of the Sky God: What is the sky god? First of all, this is the prince of the power of the air, “…in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience…” Ephesians 2:2 The prince of the power of the air relates to the beast that gives people what to speak, do, think, and feel to make them the children of disobedience. Disobedience to God by rejecting Jesus Christ and fighting against the presence of the Holy Spirit. Ezekiel speaks of the sky god when he sees the vision of the space satellites, space station, and space shuttle. Click here for a post on Ezekiel’s vision from Ezekiel 1.

“For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregations on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’” Isaiah 14:13-14

“This is their resemblance throughout the earth: Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth. Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.” Zachariah 5:6-9

The picture below is a depiction of goddess Diana/Artemis, an original artifact from around 600 BC, which is the subject of the scriptures in this post. As you can see, she looks harmless but is a vicious beast who looks like a sheep.

The temple of Diana/Artemis was one of the great Seven Wonders of the ancient world.
