Timely Light Of Hera, The Goddess Of Marriage & Childbirth

1. THE MARK OF THE BEAST/ANTI-CHRIST

As Hollywood is to America, and Nollywood to Nigeria, so is Bollywood to India. Majority of Bollywood movies are themed on Marriage. And in the Indian culture, married women have a 'mark' on their forehead.

Most cultures use a ring to symbolise the consummation of a marriage union. And in such cultures, the ring is worn on the left-hand on a finger that is believed to have some kind of 'vein-link' to the heart. The ring is also circular to symbolize the 'unending' nature of the 'sealing'.

Incidentally, the bible (i.e. scripture) communicates a vague picture similar to the above in Revelation chapter 13 verse 16:

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, (Revelation 13:16)

Clearly, marriage is something that applies to "small and great", "rich and poor", "free and slave". A simple look in the mirror then reveals that which seems to be on the left hand (i.e. the ring), to be actually the right hand.

2. CHILDBIRTH: A BLESSING OR A CURSE

History is basically a birth-death cycle where childbirth is popularly considered as a blessing (Psalm 128). The prolific procreating one is considered blessed of God, and the barren one considered somewhat cursed.

However, a second look at history from an 'inception' or 'origin story' point of view reveals that it is rooted from the curse of God on Eve (mother of all living) in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3):

• Nine months of being 'heavy laden'

• The pain, agony and hard labour at delivery

• The slight force that is required to breach a virgin's hymen

• Blood (as a general indication of danger) that comes forth when the hymen is breached

• The blood that flows monthly referred to as mentrual cycle indicative of a curse of some sort

• The hard labour not only of the female at delivery, but also the 'hard labour' of the male required to sustain the female and the offspring

• The diminishing life-span of mankind (both male and female) in trying to achieve immortality through a 'Markovian birth-death' cycle
