Since 2016, the Temple of Bel, also known as Baal, in Palmyra, Syria, has been undergoing reconstruction after being destroyed by ISIS. We would like to explore the interweaving of polytheistic gods in religion, and how faith has played a pivotal role in the theater of societal control, politics, education and the quick erosion of believing even well-research facts. 

The Reconstruction of the Temple of Baal and Its Implications in Places of Economic Power and Greed

While this may seem like a historical preservation project, some argue that it is related to the deep state and capitalism, and the god that the elitists want us to worship unconsciously. This argument is based on the practices associated with Baal worship, which include child sacrifice, temple prostitution, self-mutilation, and animal sacrifice.

The polarization in this spiritual context has been spilling over into our physical world, particularly in the 2024 elections. Many people feel that this election is a battle between good and evil, with two gods. The deep state and cabal are often associated with the worship of Baal, and many Christians are wary of this connection.

In 2016, a replica of the Palmyra arch, which is part of the Temple of Baal, was set to be unveiled in Times Square, but Christians strongly opposed it. Trump, being a long-time resident of NYC, most-likely knew of its construction and endorsed it. Trump was friends with Epstein. Epstein was friends with P. Diddy. You get the picture. They all exhibited true “deep state” and “Baalistic” behavior in their lives. 

The original headlines in the news, when the replica was to be unveiled, referred to the Arch as remnants of “Temple of Baal,” but they were later changed to “Palmyra Arch” after Christian protests; knowing full and well who Baal is. A false god. 

The Origins of Baal and How The Worship of This God Align Perfectly With Corrupt Elitist Practices

Baal worship was also responsible for the first major division among the Israelites. The Phoenician ruler, Jezebel, introduced Baal as another deity to be worshipped alongside Yahweh, their one true God. This division has caused strife and division throughout history, and the worship of Baal has gained power and prominence among the Canaanites, Phoenicians, Babylonians, and Assyrians.

Today, reconstruction efforts are underway for the Baal temple in Syria, and replicas of the Baal arch are being built in place of monetary power in major economic hubs worldwide, including London and New York City. This has raised concerns that the elitists are promoting the worship of Baal and capitalism, which are often associated with each other.

The Bible, as we know it, is a collection of different documents put together by kings who wanted to control the narrative. This has led some to question the authenticity of the texts, especially in light of current events. With the 2024 elections approaching, many people are concerned that their freedoms are being threatened, and they are looking for answers in the Bible and other spiritual texts.

In conclusion, the reconstruction of the Temple of Baal and the promotion of the Baal arch in major economic hubs worldwide have raised concerns about the deep state and cabal's intentions. Many people believe that this is a spiritual battle between good and evil, and they are arming themselves with knowledge to protect their freedoms and their souls.

How We See The Character of Baal Play-Out in the 2024 Elections

As the 2024 elections approach, the concept of seeking divine guidance in politics has become a hot topic. The Bible's story of Sodom and Gomorrah teaches us that looking for god outside ourselves and creating false idols is a grave sin. This message is particularly relevant today, as political parties on both sides of the aisle continue to invoke the name of God to further their agendas.

In the Bible, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of their wickedness and sin, including their rejection of God and their obsession with material wealth and power. Today, many politicians and political parties continue to prioritize these same values, often invoking the name of God to justify their actions. However, as the story of Sodom and Gomorrah teaches us, this is a dangerous path that leads to destruction.

The character of Baal, a false god worshipped by the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, is particularly relevant to the 2024 elections. Baal was a god of fertility, rain, and thunder, and was often invoked by politicians and leaders to ensure a successful harvest or a victorious battle. In modern politics, the invocation of Baal takes many forms, from politicians invoking the name of God to justify their policies to the use of religious language and imagery to appeal to voters.

In an article for The Huffington Post, religious scholar and author Reza Aslan argues that the worship of Baal is still alive and well in modern politics. “Baal is the god of power, of wealth, of success,” Aslan writes. “He is the god that promises to deliver us from our enemies, to make us great again, to restore our rightful place in the world.” 

By invoking the name of God or using religious language to further their agendas, politicians are effectively turning God into a Baal-like figure, a false idol that serves their own interests rather than the greater good.

While the Bible does not explicitly state that the people of Sodom and Gomorrah worshipped Baal, some scholars have suggested that this practice may have been common in the region where these cities were located. Here are a few examples of scholars who have discussed this possibility:

Richard Elliott Friedman – In his book “The Disappearance of God: A Divine Mystery,” Friedman suggests that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah may have been related to their worship of Baal, among other gods.

James L. Kugel – In his book “The Bible as It Was,” Kugel argues that the story of Sodom and Gomorrah reflects a broader conflict between monotheism and polytheism in the ancient Near East, and that the inhabitants of these cities may have worshipped Baal as part of a polytheistic pantheon.

Michael Coogan – In his book “The Oxford History of the Biblical World,” Coogan suggests that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah may have been related to their rejection of hospitality, rather than their worship of Baal or other gods. However, he notes that the practice of Baal worship was common in the region where these cities were located.

Tikva Frymer-Kensky – In her book “In the Wake of the Goddesses: Women, Culture, and the Biblical Transformation of Pagan Myth,” Frymer-Kensky argues that the story of Sodom and Gomorrah reflects a broader conflict between monotheistic and polytheistic religions in the ancient Near East, and that the inhabitants of these cities may have worshipped Baal as part of a polytheistic pantheon.
