Christians are commanded by God Almighty in Psalm 81:9 not to worship any strange god and not to adorn themselves with any strange god. In obedience to this commandment of the Lord, Jacob ordered his entire household to cleanse themselves of all the strange gods that were among them, when God said unto Jacob to go up to Bethel and dwell there as written in Genesis 35:1-2. Part of these strange gods that were put away included the earrings in the ears of members of his household as written in Genesis 35:4.
Earrings are some of the strange gods of Egypt which the people of Israel especially the women, took along with them while leaving Egypt to the Promised Land. With the golden earrings in their ears, Aaron made unto them ‘gods’, for which the people of Israel requested, as written in Exodus 32:1-4, which reads “…And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. And he received them at their hands, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.” These golden earrings were moulded into ‘gods’. Egypt was a country wholly given to idolatry, full of all kinds of ‘strange gods’, part of which were these earrings, which the Israelites inherited from the land of Egypt.
The world and its fashion, is our modern-day Egypt. Earrings are the strange gods of the Gentile nation, brought into Christianity, by ‘Christian women’, who love the fashion of this world and the things of this world, in spite of God’s commandment in I John 2:15 which says “love not the world neither the things that are in the world…”
It may be shocking to Christians to know that behind every strange god there is a demon (evil spirit). To buttress this fact, a Christian sister had a revelation in which she saw herself by the river side where a mermaid spirit was inviting her to come and join them inside the river, telling her that she belonged to them; this Christian sister bluntly refused to enter the river claiming that she does not belong to them. But the mermaid spirit told this woman that she belonged to them because the earrings on her ears and the artificial hair on her head were their property. At this point she woke up.
Christian women, who are born of the Spirit of God, are the temples of the living God. God’s temples must not be defiled by these ‘strange’ gods worn in the ears of Christian women. In I Corinthians 3:17, it is written, “If any man defiles the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are”. And in Ezekiel 20:7 it is also written, “Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.”
Now, let us reason together, in the light of the scripture, that says, in Genesis1:27 “So god created man in his own image, in the image of god created he him; male and female created he them. and in genesis1:31 it is written “and god saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good”.
Now if in verse 31, the scripture says that the male and female are the perfect and good image of God, it means therefore, the “holes”, bored in the ears of females, are a disfiguration of the perfect image of God. No female child was born into this world with “holes” in the ears. How come about the “holes” in the ears of our females whom God created in His image? It is nothing but satan’s invention to tarnish the image of God. If there were no holes bored through the ears of our females, there would not have been any room for earrings which are the strange gods in the ears of our Christian women.
The origin of holes in the ears.
The Truth about the origin of boring of holes, introduced into the world by satan, is found in Exodus 21:5-6, which reads “And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife and my children; I will not go out free: Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him forever”.
The boring of holes in the ear which was part of the Law of Moses was a mark of servitude (slavery) which Jesus Christ, through His death has abolished. Any Christian mother, therefore who performs this ceremonial rite of the law of Moses, by piercing a “hole” in the ear of any new born female child, is bringing herself, and the new born baby, under the “curse” of the law, from which Christ came to redeem mankind.
