The unanswered questions surrounding the promised land, the rebuilding of the Temple, and the lingering sense of incompleteness in Israel’s spiritual and historical journey point to a profound disconnection from the ancient covenant. The erasure of El-Asherah, the Divine Duad, from memory and culture has fractured the fullness of the sacred relationship once shared between the Creator and creation.
The covenant was not merely a promise of land or a structure but a harmonious relationship between the people and the divine, a balance exemplified in the unity of El and Asherah, the masculine and feminine, the transcendent and immanent. By marginalizing Asherah, Israel lost the fullness of divine balance, leaving the covenant incomplete and the path to restoration obscured.
Why Hasn’t the Covenant Been Fulfilled?
The Promised Land:
The land promised in the covenant remains contested and unfulfilled, reflecting a deeper spiritual disconnection. Without honoring the complete divine presence of El-Asherah, the covenant cannot be fully realized. The harmony required to manifest the sacred promises has been disrupted.
The Temple’s Rebuilding:
The Temple, symbolizing the dwelling of the divine presence among the people, remains absent. The Shekhinah, the feminine aspect of the divine, must return to her throne, for without her, the dwelling place of the divine is incomplete. Asherah, once recognized as the sacred feminine, must be restored for the Temple to be a true reflection of divine harmony.
The Deuteronomist Disconnection:
The theological shifts introduced by the Deuteronomists, who replaced the ancient worship of El-Asherah with the sole veneration of Yahweh, contributed to this disconnection. By removing Asherah from the sacred narrative, they erased half of the divine equation, disrupting the unity that was central to the covenant’s power and purpose.
Without El-Asherah, the people have been left with a fragmented understanding of the divine. The Shekhinah, diminished and forgotten, must now be restored to her rightful place to bring balance and renewal.
El-Asherah’s Plan
We cannot fully know El-Asherah’s plan, for their wisdom transcends human comprehension. Yet, the ancient traditions and mystical teachings suggest a path forward:
To hasten the day of fulfillment, the Divine Duad of El and Asherah must be restored to memory, scripture, and culture.
The Shekhinah, as the living presence of Asherah, must once again sit upon her throne, completing the balance that enables divine blessings to flow freely.
This restoration is not merely an act of historical recovery but a spiritual awakening, a call to recognize the sacred balance of creation and the divine presence in both masculine and feminine forms.
A Call to Action
The time has come to reintroduce El-Asherah into our consciousness, to restore the Shekhinah to her rightful throne, and to reclaim the unity and harmony of the original covenant. By doing so:
The promised blessings of the covenant may find fulfillment.
The spiritual fractures that hinder the rebuilding of the Temple may be healed.
The world may move closer to the divine plan, where creation and Creator are united in balance and harmony.
This work is not just for Israel but for all of humanity, as it calls us to recognize and honor the fullness of the divine presence, ensuring that the sacred balance of A-S-H, Air, Spirit, and Harmony, is reflected in our lives, our communities, and our sacred spaces.
May this serve as both a guide and a call to action, awakening the ancient truths of El-Asherah and hastening the day when the covenant is fulfilled, the Shekinah reigns once more, and divine unity is restored to creation.
