Notice that she is referenced as "Ms." vs. "Mrs.", which is a title usually reserved for when it is unknown whether a woman is married or unmarried. |
And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: [Shinar is Babylon] and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base [a pedestal]." Zechariah 5:5-11
On December 1, 2012, Mrs. Jada Pinkett Smith posted a note on her Facebook page called, "The War on Men Through the Degradation of Woman." It shows in a nutshell how the perversion of womanhood - such as promoted by Mrs. Smith - is contaminating the minds of young girls and is the cause of what she calls the "War on Men".
Pay close attention to her words below and notice what she is really saying. My comments are in the brackets [emphasis added by me].
_________
The war on men through the degradation of woman.
How is man to recognize his full self, his full power through the eye's of an incomplete woman? [A man's ability to "be a man" is dependent upon how a woman sees him. His power and self-identity comes from her vision of him.] The woman who has been stripped of Goddess recognition and diminished to a big a** [word modified by me] and full breast for physical comfort only. [Notice that an "incomplete" woman is one who is not recognized as a "goddess".] The woman who has been silenced so she may forget her spiritual essence because her words stir too much thought outside of the pleasure space. [A man's sole focus in life is the "pleasure space". In other words, men are filled with lust and need the "spiritual essence" of women to think beyond that.] The woman who has been diminished to covering all that rots inside of her with weaves and red bottom shoes [The man is to blame for his role in this, but the woman is just trying to cover her internal hurts. Instead of holding both responsible for their own behaviors, she villainizes the men and victimizes the women.].
I am sure the men, who restructured our societies from cultures that honored woman, had no idea of the outcome. [Patriarchy is not the normal way of living and does not "honor" women (presumably, as goddesses).] They had no idea that eventually, even men would render themselves empty and longing for meaning, depth and connection [Unless men "honor" women as "goddesses", they will continue to be empty and without meaning or depth.].
There is a deep sadness when I witness a man that can't recognize the emptiness he feels when he objectifies himself as a bank and truly believes he can buy love with things and status. It is painful to witness the betrayal when a woman takes him up on that offer. He doesn't recognize that the create of a half woman has contributed to his repressed anger and frustration of feeling he is not enough [Again, a man's identity can only be defined by how he honors a woman (not how he honors God).]. He then may love no woman or keep many half women as his prize. He doesn't recognize that it's his submersion in the imbalanced warrior culture, where violence is the means of getting respect and power, as the reason he can break the face of the woman who bore him four children [Having the mentality of a soldier of war is incompatible with showing love. Men need to be more matriarchal.]._______
When woman is lost, so is man [The woman in this regard is the savior of the man; his salvation is dependent upon her.]. The truth is, woman is the window to a man's heart and a man's heart is the gateway to his soul [A man's soul is the product of the woman].
Power and control will NEVER out weigh love.
May we all find our way.
Mrs. Smith claims that men are failing at manhood because they do not recognize women as goddesses. Notice as well that she doesn't present any balance here. The woman is lifted up and the man is dependent upon her...even for his own self identity. The man needs the woman, but the woman doesn't need the man. The man is defined by the woman, but the woman is not defined by him. The woman is a goddess and the man is the one serving her. The man is the one in need of salvation, and the woman is his savior.
What she is describing is Babylon (Zechariah 5:5-11; Revelation 17:3-6). She is promoting nothing more than rebellion against God and what He says is "wickedness" (which makes it only appropriate that Jada belongs to the heavy metal group Wicked Wisdom).
As stated in The End of Men, "Satan does not want equality of the sexes; he is after emasculation for this is the only way he can maintain his illegitimate rule as the god of this world." Satan rules through the fallen nature of Adam; such is why he must promote female domination over men. What was Adam's sin according to God? He heeded the voice of his wife over the voice of God (Genesis 3:17-19). Adam supplanted God with the woman, making her his god(dess). Is this not the original lie Satan told Eve from the beginning? That she could be as a god herself?
"For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry." I Samuel 15:23a
lover of pleasure more than a lover of God" (II Timothy 3:4). The seat of power for a "goddess" is that the man has been so hallowed out and castrated by rebellion against God, that he is led by his five carnal senses. He must stay enslaved to the flesh and ensnared in idolatry to remain controllable.
How clever Satan is! He is able to transform his ministers into "ministers of righteousness" so that they can appear to stand for what is right, while at the same time slitting your throat (II Corinthians 11:14-15). Jada presents herself as a friend of women - even depicting the men as the villains behind this degradation - while she herself glories in the "power" of her naked body and urges women to do the same in order to continue this bondage.
The problem is not that men are degrading women, but that man (both men & women) have turned from God to idols and are living selfishly for themselves. The result is that the family structure and society as a whole is out of order.
"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
On November 21, 2012, Jada wrote the following about recent controversies surrounding her daughter's buzz cut.
This subject is old but I have never answered it in its entirety. And even with this post it will remain incomplete. The question why I would LET Willow cut her hair. First the LET must be challenged. This is a world where women, girls are constantly reminded that they don't belong to themselves; that their bodies are not their own, nor their power or self determination. I made a promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know that her body, spirit and her mind are HER domain. Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth is not measured by the length of her hair. It's also a statement that claims that even little girls have the RIGHT to own themselves and should not be a slave to even their mother's deepest insecurities, hopes and desires. Even little girls should not be a slave to the preconceived ideas of what a culture believes a little girl should be. More to come. Another day.
Instead of being an example of womanhood and virtue to her daughter, Mrs. Smith prefers to encourage her to do whatever she feels is right in her own eyes, or as she says: "self-determination". Why? Because she is a rebel against authority too. She doesn't want anyone telling her what to do, so she raises her daughter to be the same. These things are not mere fashion statements or just examples of young people finding their own way. We are seeing the evil workings of a fallen spirit being who has planted seeds of rebellion in man's heart come to fruition.
"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven." I Corinthians 11:3-5
Pray for those who are deceived, but be prepared to stand against these deceptions and war against the spiritual wickedness which seeks to pervert the mind, turning it anti-Christ. The harvest truly is plenty, but the laborers are few. Are you willing to labor for the sake of the harvest?

ReplyDeleteHi HannielOnline,
DeleteYes, that is true. It is quite sad on a number of levels. One, to see how rebellion can propagate from one generation to the next. There are 3 generations in that video!
Also, in terms of how we buy into the lies of the enemy when we are blinded to truth, living in the deceptions of a carnal mind.
"No one is really free?" Absolutely untrue! One can truly be free...in Christ Jesus. Free from bondage to sin and the flesh, free from the blinding lies of the enemy which seek to take us captive at his will, free from the law and religious performance. We are free to love, free to live, and free to fellowship with God as His children.
Freedom is not "no one telling you what to do." as Willow Smith states. That is some Satanic delusion about achieving godhood (Gen. 3:5); like Jada leading Willow to conclude that her perceptions can allow her to be in control of all things and determine her own reality.
Until we submit to the truth, we will never be free nor even understand what freedom is...because we remain bound by the god of this world.
The devil sure has a way of twisting the truth. Yet, that too will run its course. God is preparing to stand up in His people against the wickedness of this evil age and all of his lies will be visible for what they are...to those who have eyes to see. I thank God for that and pray to be counted worthy for Him to live through me as a soldier in this spiritual war.
God bless you brother! May winning souls for Christ be our goal each day.
What in the world are they talking about in this video? Help, Lord!
ReplyDeleteI see what you're saying, but I also see that men have degraded women to being nothing more than an object to satisfy their fleshly need. Man is the head of woman and if the head is sick the whole body is sick. So why aren't we preaching to men to step up and be Godly men?
ReplyDeleteHi Jordan Railsback,
DeleteEach person is accountable for their own decisions in this life. Men cannot degrade women without women agreeing to be degraded.
This is one of the the biggest issues I have with Jada Pinkett Smith's comments. She rails against women being viewed as body parts to be used solely for physical pleasure, but at the same time she willingly exploits her own body for just the same purpose, relishing in the "power" she feels it brings her. That is deception.
She endeavors to make this a "man vs. woman" issue - with men holding all of the blame and women being reluctant victims - but such is nonsense. What agenda is she really pushing? Many people will never think to ask because they are too busy jumping up in support of her [seemingly] pro-woman stance. She presents herself as a champion for women - and even for men - while at the same time being the very vehicle contributing to the destruction of both. That is Satan at his best, presenting himself as an angel of light to disguise the evil within.
Did you know that she is part of a heavy metal group called Wicked Wisdom? People had better wake up and stop drinking down poison from every "star" that they idolize.
Ok, so I know I went off on a tangent there. :-) And my comments are not necessarily for you, I just felt it needed to be said.
However, to answer your question, absolutely men need to step up and serve as God has called them to. Jesus Christ is after all the only answer to all of society's ills (not some crazy idolatry of women). Here is one particular message that discusses this: Balls Feel free to share it to whomever you think would benefit.
At the end of the day, we cannot look to anyone else to do what needs to be done, we must step up to the plate ourselves and present our lives to God for His use. I pray that we all do.
God Bless!
hello, it's amazing to me that most folks are so star stricken that they will take in any and everything these idols spit out... I'm really sickened at that fact that the "so called church" eats this mess... i see this stuff everyday and the vomit that "church folks" eat.. the thing about it is that because the cross of Jesus Christ has become of non effect that people have damned themselves to hell! oh, this is not even the surface, I see that crap with Cindy Trimm, Iyanla Vanzant and others.... I praise God for truth and the CHOICE that I have made to walk in it!
DeleteLDM, you are right. I don't see how any Christian who read that first response can say that it is valid. I have even heard Christian women talking about how a man had better treat her like a goddess. This stuff is in the church too.
DeleteHi Anonymous,
DeleteI just tried to respond to your comment, but it seems to have gotten deleted or didn't post...weird. Sorry if you got 2 responses. Anyway, yes I have heard professing Christians speak that way as well. A lot of times, Christian women buy into these worldly doctrines because it is often soulishly preached from the pulpit. This is why it is so important that we really know what the word of God says and have the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth. Otherwise those carrying another spirit could very well make us believe anything so that we wind up calling what is evil, good; and what is good, evil.
Thank for your comments!
Wow, that is even more strange Anonymous. The moderate comments section showed you making your post to the Jeni comments, but not only did my first reply to you somehow disappear, now your comment and my reply have jumped up to another set of comments. REALLY weird. Something must be going on with blogger.
DeleteYour own bible states that Adam was not complete without Eve. Why do you refuse to acknowledge what your own bible states? What is it we need men for? Only young insecure manipulated women can be fooled into the myth of needing a man. You were all certainly content to double your standard of living by putting your wives out into the work world, and now you're shocked that we're realizing what a one sided arrangement you've had for thousands of years. Yes, you men are in trouble. But it's not the devil who did it, your greed did it.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenji,
DeleteActually the word of God doesn't state that at all. What it says is that it was not good for man to be alone, so God created a "help" which would be appropriate for him (Gen. 2:18). That "help" was the woman. This is why the Scriptures say that man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man (I Cor. 11:9).
I thank God that the standard for man has nothing to do with what women or men think or have done, for all have fallen short of the glory of God. Rather, the standard by which we all must live and whereby we all will be judged is the word of God.
On one point we certainly agree. If more people would acknowledge what God has to say, then most of this would be a non-issue. God created man as the head of the family unit and He created the woman as His help. Only those in rebellion against God would fight futilely against what He has ordained.
In the end, when we face the Lord on judgment day, it will be of no concern what anyone has or hasn't done. God will hold us each individual accountable for how we upheld His truths in our lives. Time is short. I pray that people's eyes are opened to see the delusions Satan has weaved and find rest and freedom in Christ Jesus, for He is the only way.
Thanks for commenting.
i think jenji brings up valid points that i feel were glossed over by your response. if adam was in a certain sense of the word "complete" without eve God would not have said firstly it is not GOOD for man to be alone and secondly create eve for a suitable helpmate for him. it is true only broken off course weak and foolish women feel they need a man doing almost anything to have one instead of becoming wise virtuous obedient made whole daughters of the most high so that the most high can lead her mate to find her.man is the reason the whole world is off course seeing that he is the one given dominion and authority in the earth.though eve ate first it was really no effect on anyone but herself until adam descended in his godly position and ate and now both their eyes were opened. if men really knew what was given up by adam at the fall and allowed the Father to wholly restore them it wouldnt matter what these rebelliuose females attempted because the power and authority of the Almighty resting upon and residing in the godly man would completely shut it down by bringing Gods righteous judgement into the situation examples:jehu&jezebel,paul&the girl with python spirit,job& his wife,etc.i agree that greed as well as a well hidden rebel spirit in men and women is why so called christians are more than willing for the wife and mother to be in and remain in the workforce despite the apostles teaching otherwise which is why our children are not saved, off balanced and as bad as if not worse than the sinner and ungodly mans children. all these clever little ways we decieve ourselves and others is manifested in our lives that absolutely do not mirror obedience and uncomprimise to the word of God that we are claiming to hold true to. i for one am thoroughly sick of it. divine order IS the order of the day and is part of if not the whole of Jesus' question when he returns will he find faith in the earth. WILL WE WHO CLAIM TO BE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST BE FOUND FAITHFUL TO HIS WORD IN ALL THINGS??
Deletei also want to add that i dont understand the purpose of dicussing jada pinkett smiths opinions on this or any other topic. because she is an ungodly woman who remaining true to form thinks and feels as ALL ungodly/ strange women feel and think on this subject.what so called godly women should be focusing on and discussing is the Fathers word, will, and way (which are one) in their persuit of complete submission and obedience to the Father finding their place, getting in and staying in their place in His kingdom.it is always an issue what anyone has or has not done just look at how God dealt with the serpent ,eve, and adam also the scripture teaches that we can cause/influence someone else to sin. yes we are idividually responsible for our personal sin(s) as well as for our ungodly influence in "causing" others to sin. GOD didnt want israel intermingling with the other nations so as not to learn the way of the heathen, solomons wives influenced his heart away from the Most High. and most compelling is how God speaks of jezebel in revelations influencing others in rebelling against the Most High. i pray that as christian people and specifically christian women we will divest ourselves of this fallen world and wholeheartedly seek to follow and obey the Fathers commands concerning us. may the Father help us all.
DeleteHi Israels daughter,
DeleteIt's important that we not project into Scripture what is not there. God never says that man was not a "complete" creation, nor does He say the woman was not a "complete" creation. On the contrary, He says that all He created was "good". If each were not complete individually, then singleness would have no place in the Body of Christ (I Cor. Chap. 7) nor would such be called "good" by God (verse 8). God created 2 complete beings - man and woman - but He created them to have fellowship with each other and made them for specific roles/functions.
More importantly, the only thing which "completes" man or woman is God Himself. It is in Him alone we live, move, and have our being (Acts 17:28). Man was incomplete prior to God breathing into him the breathe of life, for he was a dead soul. However, once man was alive to God, he was complete...as we also become complete (man or woman) once we become alive to God. As you seem to indicate above, we are only "made whole" or "wholly restored" (which is the same as being complete) in God, not in relationships with men/women on the horizontal.
"And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power." Col. 2;10
I believe you also misunderstood what you call the second "valid point" of Jeni's. Jeni never said that it is foolish for a woman to do anything to get a man. While such would be true, those were your words. She stated that it is foolish for a woman to think she needs a man. That type of "I don't need a man" philosophy - which neglects to recognize that woman was created for the man - is the foundation of much of the anti-Christ, feminist agenda which has resulted in this degradation of women.
Yes, it is very true that it is the fall of Adam which through mankind into sin. If a man is walking in obedience to the Father, then he will at the same time carry God's authority and have power over all work of the enemy.
Again, your comments about greed are not the same as Jenji's. If greed is a factor in the decay of family roles in society, then women are as much to blame for that as men. It is not a problem with 'men's greed', but with mankind's idolatry. Again, the implication that all of our problems is because of "men" is not a biblical nor honest position.
Yes, may we all be found faithful when Jesus returns.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here. God Bless!
Hello again Israels daughter,
DeleteYou have really answered your own question.
First, I post what I feel led by the Lord to post, even if that is exposing something occurring in the world. If some do not understand, then perhaps the word was not for them. Either way it is of no consequence to me as long as I am obeying what He gives me to do.
Second, while complete submission and obedience to the Father should in fact be every person's goal as you state - man or woman - such is not always the case. The truth of the matter is that much of the church is mixed in with the world. Such is why God tells His people in the end times to "Come out of her [Babylon]" (Rev. 18:4). The purpose of this blog is not only to edify those who have committed to "divest themselves of this fallen world", but to also be a beacon to those who have not yet made such a decision and may not even realize how the influences of the world are pulling them away from the Lord. e are called to warn the wicked and warn the righteous (Ezekiel 3:18-21).
I always find it interesting when people start talking about what other folks "should be doing". If any feels like something needs to be done, then all I can say is, "Go do it!" Let's all be about the Father's business; and what He gives one to do may not be the same as what He gives to another.
Either way, I think I understand the heart of your post in that it is time out for foolishness. To that I say, "Amen". Let all who name the name of the Lord depart from evil.
Thank again!
I found your article on the Vigilant Citizen FB page. Keep doing what God tells you and dont listen to people who try to stop you. I will share this on my page too. People need to know the truth. Thanks for the post.
DeleteHi TracyL,
DeleteSomething every Christian must learn is how to discern God's voice. Then all we need to do is heed it. There used to be a time when I was concerned about what people thought about the posts on this blog; not any more. As I stated before, we are in complete in Him, not any other man or woman. God always sends confirmation by His Holy Spirit of any correction He wants to bring. We have to know how to weed out the voice of God from the voice of flesh, the voice of hypocrisy, and even the voice of the enemy. Thanks for the encouragement, but all is well here. :-)
God Bless!
"Go do it!"
DeleteThats true right there. If more people actually did what God is telling them to do instead of complaining about what other people do then we would be much further along. Everyone wants to be a critic, but no one wants to roll up they sleeves and do the work. smh
You are correct, a Godly man or woman should be validated by God, not expect it from another person. That is who we should be looking to. Also, she is not a Christian so I would not follow any of her advice nor would I read Essence mag for anything other than pure enteratinment.
ReplyDeleteHi MiaW,
DeleteExactly. It is when we look to man (or woman) to be what only God should be for us that we get into idolatry.
On another note, I would really caution against reading such things, even for pure entertainment. A little leaven can leaven the whole lump and Satan loves to use entertainment to plant his deadly seeds.
Keep seeking the Lord and I pray you follow Him with your whole heart. God Bless!
I just don't think we can take entertainment for granted anymore either. (I know this is off topic but I just want to share). Gone are the days of " I Love Lucy " where the characters slept in separate beds even though the characters were married. I now see that Satan's plan is to make the homosexual seem as normal as possible so people can relate to them and be desensitized to the abnormality of that lifestyle. I was watching a new show a few weeks ago called "Emily Owens, MD" It was a relatively clean show but they had a lesbian character. Normal, nice, down to earth, etc. I believe God didn't want me to watch the show once I realized the character was a lesbian. When people sit and watch shows over and over again that have gay characters we begin to "understand" them. While I never advocate hatred or rudeness or hostility toward anyone I know that Christians can't allow themselves to begin to "understand" homosexuality or to see it as "normal"....just something that is here and we may as well accept it.
ReplyDeleteI also noticed one day while watching Sesame Street that they too are trying to thread in the homosexual lifestyle. They had a short segment showing how families benefit from watching SS (I think that was the topic I can't quite remember all of it) in one clip they show a Black family with a man/father and a woman/mother and one or two children. In the next clip they show two women and a little child. Now we can assume that the women are sisters or friends but in the context of the segment I think it is safe to assume that they were a lesbian couple. So, this is what my now 2 year old will be seeing with children's programming. We just have to be careful.
Hi Anonymous,
DeleteYou are not off topic at all. The reality is that the spirit of fallen man is naturally that of a sodomite. In the Garden of Eden, when Adam & Eve fell, they became spiritually the opposite of what God created them to be. Eve - while still having the appearance of a woman - took on the attributes of the man as the head; Adam - while still having the appearance of a man - took on the attributes of the woman as the submitted one. If that spirit is left to itself, the fruit of it becomes homosexuality (Rom. Chapter 1).
And consider this as well. Although the seeds of that sodomite nature were planted in the Garden of Eden, it took time for that seed to actually produce visible fruit. No one would have looked at Adam & Eve after the fall and said, "Those are homosexuals." But as that nature continued unabated and grew down through the generations, the reality of the perversion which had happened in the inner part of man began to be visible on the outside. So 16 chapters later, we see that nature in full manifestation in the telling of the story of Sodom & Gomorrah.
This is what so many people do not understand. You do not have to be a practicing sodomite to still have that nature in you. If a man and woman reject the roles God has ordained - man as the head and woman in submission to that - then they have that same nature. And while one particular couple may not be practicing homosexuality, if they are walking in that sodomite spirit then - left unabated - that spirit will eventually be visible in their bloodline as their children or children's children turn to open homosexuality. Only the blood of Jesus Christ can reverse that curse and impart new life and a new nature. We have all had a bite of that apple because we all come from Adam's loins.
So, your observations are right on target. Satan is using every avenue he has to keep man bound to the world so that he will remain carnal and led by that sodomite, fallen nature. This way, man will welcome his rule in this world for he is the King of Sodom. All that Jada Pinkett Smith is doing is being a mouthpiece for Satan's fallen agenda, and so is the avenue of the media in the world today.
That is Satan's plan, but we know the end of the matter. His plan will fail for Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and He will come back in righteousness to judge that which is evil. Our main focus at this time as Christians is to press in to Jesus and rid ourselves of any worldly thing, including false philosophies and imaginations. Then we can be empowered by God to not only stand, but to set captives free and destroy the works of the devil.
God Bless!
