Prepare to have your eyes opened to the profound truths hidden within the very first pages of the Bible.
In the Beginning
The singular God most of us were taught simply does not exist — at least, not as we’ve been led to believe.
What exists is Elohim — a plural divine family, a council of powers — and humanity was always meant to be part of that family.
Before monotheism, ancient worship looked very different.
It included a divine mother.
Before Israel took shape, people honored El, the father of the gods, and Asherah, the mother — the “creatress of the gods,” a symbol of life, fertility, and sacred trees.
When early Israel emerged, it inherited this divine structure.
Archaeologists have found inscriptions reading “Yahweh and his Asherah,” suggesting the earliest Israelites still honored a heavenly pair.
Even the language remembers it. The Hebrew word Elohim — the most common name for God — is plural. Genesis 1:26 says, “Let us make man in our image.” The grammar itself hints at a divine union.
The Erasure of the Mother
Everything changed during King Josiah’s reforms in the 7th century BCE.
He ordered Asherah’s symbols destroyed and redefined Israel’s story around one male deity. This is when monotheism truly began.
But the mother was never completely erased.
The plural names, the feminine imagery, and traces in Psalms and prophetic writings still whisper what was once known — that creation came through two, not one.
The very first line of Genesis reads,
“In the beginning, the gods (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth.” It’s not one voice speaking to itself — it’s a divine conversation.
The Hebrew Bible reflects a world where many divine beings were acknowledged, yet one was lifted above the rest.
Jealousy among gods, rivalries, and divine councils only make sense in that context.
What “God” Really Means
“God” is not a personal name — it’s a title. It means “ruler” or “judge.”
Calling out to “God” is like walking into a room full of kings and shouting, “Your Majesty!”
Any one of them could answer — and that’s why so many prayers feel scattered or uncertain.
The original picture is Father plus Mother.
Even the Holy Spirit is grammatically and conceptually feminine in Hebrew, and the Firstborn Son stands as the eldest of this divine family.
When he said, “You are gods,” he wasn’t speaking poetically.
He was reminding us who we actually are — divine children who have forgotten their lineage.
Remember Who You Are
If you want real clarity and power in prayer, stop speaking to a vague concept of “God.”Get specific.
Need comfort, nurturing, or rebirth? Speak to the Mother.Need guidance or brotherhood? Speak to the Yeshua, your Brother.Need direction, identity, or purpose? Speak to the Father.
The moment you remember who you’re addressing — and that you already belong at that table — everything shifts.
That’s the unlock.
Love,
Kassandra
