4. They were idolaters who drew Israel away from Yahweh (Isa. 2:6) and who worshipped Ashteroth, the female consort of Baal (Judges

6:25; 8:33), Dagon the fish god (their national god), and Baalzebub (Matt. 12:24).

The Philistines



“This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hands” (I Sam. 17:46-47).

Lessons for our TimesA Priest of Dagon

(the patron “fish god” of the Philistines).

“The two-horned mitre, which the Pope wears, when he sits on the high altar at Rome and receives the adoration of the Cardinals, is the very mitre worn by the priests of Dagon, the fish-god of the Philistines and Babylonians.”

(The Two Babylons ; Alexander Hislop; p. 215)

From the Hebrew Kenaaniy (ken-ah-an-ee´, Strong 3669)- a Kenaanite or inhabitant of Kenaan; by implication a peddler or merchant trafficker;

- from kana (kaw-nah´ - Strong 3665); a prime root; meaning to bend the knee; hence to humiliate, vanquish: bring down (low), into subjection, under, humble (self), subdue.

The Bible describes the Canaanites as:- Strong and Great (Num. 13:28),- Extremely numerous (Deut. 7:17),- Idolatrous (Deut. 29:17),- Superstitious (Deut. 18:9-11),- and profane (Lev. 18:27).
