The Shedim – Chapter 03

Is it possible that behind what is taking place in America and the world lies a mystery that goes back to the gods of the ancient world…and that they now have returned?
The Return of the Gods is the most explosive book Jonathan Cahn has ever written. It is so explosive and so revealing that no description here could do it justice. Jonathan Cahn is known for revealing the stunning mysteries, many from ancient times, that lie behind and are playing out in the events of our times. But with The Return of the Gods , Cahn takes this to an entirely new level and dimension.
The Return of the Gods , Cahn takes the reader on a journey from an ancient parable, the ancient inscriptions in Sumer, Assyria, and Babylonia that become the puzzle pieces behind what is taking place in our world to this day, specifically in America. Is it possible that what we in the modern world take as nothing more than ancient mythology could actually possess a reality beyond our fathoming?

Three, the shade, the gods were everywhere planet of the gods.
They haunted the ancient world.
The fact that in the past 2000 years, they have not been everywhere is an exception to the rule.
For most of recorded history.
The gods were in every land and enthroned on the pinnacle of every major culture and civilization.
From the God Enel of Sumer to raw of Egypt, Amara of the Arctic Kalkan of Central America, Voltan of northern Europe is of Greece, Oakalla of Africa, Tiamat of Babylon Biha of China, Oro of Polynesia, Aurra Mazda of Persia, Perron of Russia, Shamash of Assyria, Dag of Ireland, Juno of Rome, Shiva of India and a countless multitude of others.
Wherever there were people, there were gods, they reigned over nations over cities, over cultures, over nature, over the underworld and over the heavenly, their presence permeated the lives of their subjects.
The people were bound to them that the gods could appear in every land.
Transcending the many differences, distinctions and barriers of culture to become a near universal part of human life is a strange and peculiar phenomenon to modern sensibilities.
The phenomenon of the gods is the product of man’s imagination, his projections, his fears, desires and fantasies.
That is certainly part of the story. But what if there was more to it?
What if there was another dynamic in the mix another realm, the devastators in the book of Deuteronomy Moses speaks of a people departing from God and turning elsewhere.
They sacrificed to shade, not to God, to gods.
They did not know to new gods, new gods that had come in turning away from God, they worship other gods.
Those other gods are identified as the shade. In all the Hebrew scriptures.
The word appears only once more in the book of Psalms.
They served their idols which became a snare to them.
They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to shade.
The word shade again stands for the gods and idols of the nations that the people of Israel turned to when they turned away from God, what does it mean?
Shade comes from the Hebrew root word should, which means to act violently to lay waste to devastate that which brings destruction in ancient Babylonian writings, the word shade or Shau speaks of spirits, protective or malevolent.

The latter case would match the root word from which the word shade derives.
A malevolent spirit would lay waste and devastate and bring destruction the day morning when the ancient Jewish scholars rendered the Hebrew Bible into Greek.
In a translation known as the Septuagint, they had defined the right word in Greek to stand for shade.
The word they used could refer to a spirit, a principality and a cult entity. A god.
The word was the ammonia.
It is from this, that we get the word demon, a malevolent or evil spirit.
In the Jewish world, the shade are demonic spirits. So the Septuagint translates Deuteronomy chapter 32 verse 17.
This way, they sacrificed to Damon, not to gaunt, but to gods.
They did not know to new gods, new gods that had come to them.
and Psalm 106 versus 36 through 37 is rendered, they served their idols which became a trap for them.
They even sacrificed their sons and daughters to Dios writing to the believers in the city of Corinth, the Apostle Paul spoke of the sacrifices offered up on the altars of the gentile or pagan world.
The things which the gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to Monia and not to God.
And I do not want you to have fellowship with Dimona.
So Paul writes that when the gentiles offered their sacrifices to their gods, they were actually offering them to the Dimona.
The same word used in the Septuagint to stand for the Hebrew shade the dark or malevolent spirits.
The ancient Greeks viewed the Dimona much the same way that the Babylonians viewed demons as spirits that could be good or evil.
While in the Bible, the word is used only to signify spirits of evil.
The words of the Apostle Paul in First Corinthians are strikingly similar to the words of Moses in Deuteronomy 32 of the Psalmist in Psalm one oh six, All three scriptures speak of the spirits, the shade, the monia as being worshiped and offered sacrifices in Deuteronomy and Psalms.
Those sacrificing to the shade are Israelites who have turned away from God. In First Corinthians.
Those sacrificing to the dia are of the pagan world.
The entities, all three reveal a connection that is far reaching and profound when the Israelites offered up their Children as sacrifices, they were doing so on the altars of specific gods.
Likewise, the idols to which the gentile world offered up sacrifices represented specific deities, gods of the pagan world.
In other words, the gods of Ancient Canon and Phoenicia, to which the Israelites sacrificed were not simply the figments of pagan imagination, but actual spiritual entities.
Likewise, the gods that the gentiles worshiped and sacrificed to in the first century, Roman Empire, gods with such names as Jupiter, Apollo, Vesta and Baus were not simply the imagined or invented characters of pagan mythology but were connected to spiritual entities.
The Dimona demonic spirits from the Old Testament Hebrew to the New Testament.
Greek, the revelation is clear and consistent behind the gods of the pagan world were the shade.
The Dimona, the spirits worship is connected to spirituality.
Spirituality is connected to the spirit or to spirits and spirits as revealed in the Bible.
Can be either of light or of darkness.
Spirits of light are called angels, spirits of darkness are called demons.
And while angelic entities are by nature joined to the worship of God, demonic entities are by nature at war with the worship of God.
They would thus lead one away from the worship of God.
Even if through the means and form of other gods, the ancient key could that which the scriptures reveal about the shade and the Dimona provide the key to the phenomenon and mystery of the gods?
Could it be the reason behind their universality?
Why they have transcended the vast spectrum of human culture and have manifested in every land on earth?
Could it be the key behind the many similarities and convergences between the cult of the gods and the world of the occult?
The overlapping of the ancient pagan rights to the gods and witchcraft.
This is not of course to suggest that mythology is real. Mythology is mythology.
But is it possible that the mythological worlds of pagan worship contain connections to the spiritual realm, shadows of the shade and the Dimona.
Could the one be affected by the other and the other by the one?
Could the mythology of the gods contain revelation concerning the realm of the spirits?
And could the realm of the spirits employ the mythologies of the gods?
In other words, is it possible that the mythologies of the gods have in varied ways and degrees followed the spirits, the shade and the Dimona.
And is it possible as well that the shade and Dimona, the spirits have in some way and to varied degrees followed the gods and utilized their mythologies for other purposes.
Note from this point forward, when the gods or a specific God is spoken of as possessing agency consciousness and will it is referring to the spirits and Principalities that lie and operate behind them?
If the gods are spirits and the spirits are gods, then what happens when people or nations are given to them?
Is it possible for entire peoples, nations or civilizations to become possessed?
