Here’s a breakdown of Western European Levitical Patriarchism (WELP) as you define it, followed by its traits, biblical examples, and figures who may have exhibited misogyny or bias in ministry.

1. Definition of WELP (Western European Levitical Patriarchism)

WELP is a term describing a religious system that merges hierarchical Levitical-style authority with Western European patriarchal traditions. It often:

• Elevates male-exclusive authority in ministry and leadership.
• Rejects or limits women in pastoral, prophetic, or apostolic roles.
• Uses shepherding control (heavy-handed spiritual oversight) to enforce submission to leadership.
• Incorporates divination-like practices (reading spirits, making pronouncements without biblical evidence).
• Practices elitism, positioning certain leaders as unquestionable mediators between God and people.
• Condemns outsiders and independent thinkers as rebellious, “unsubmitted,” or influenced by Jezebel/witchcraft.

It differs from biblical servant leadership because it replaces Holy Spirit-led relationship with rigid structures of control.

2. Ministry Traits of WELP

• Hierarchical Submission – Demands unquestioning submission to male leadership.
• Spiritual Overreach – Leaders claim authority to control marriages, finances, callings.
• Demonization of Women Leaders – Women with authority are labeled “out of order,” Jezebel, or rebellious.
• Selective Legalism – Uses Old Testament laws to support male rule but ignores servant leadership in the New Testament.
• Lack of Relationship-Based Discernment – Judges people spiritually from afar rather than engaging in Matthew 18-style discussions.
• Elitism in Spiritual Gifts – Believes only certain approved male leaders have divine authority to hear from God.

3. Biblical Examples of Similar Traits

A. Old Testament

1. Korah, Dathan, and Abiram (Numbers 16) –

   • They sought to control spiritual authority, rejecting Moses but claiming self-appointed leadership.
   • Hebrew for “take too much upon you” (Numbers 16:3) = רַב־לָכֶם (rab lakhem) = “You have exceeded your limits,” meaning they believed authority should be more shared yet ironically desired control for themselves.

2. Eli’s Sons (1 Samuel 2:12-17, 22-25) –

   • They were Levitical priests, but instead of honoring God’s authority, they abused their power, manipulated women, and corrupted offerings.
   • Example of false authority using the priesthood for self-gain.

3. Saul and the Witch of Endor (1 Samuel 28:7-20) –

   • Saul, having lost God’s presence, turned to divination, using occultic means to gain control over spiritual matters.
   • Example of leaders who claim to serve God but engage in “inner readings” or unbiblical spiritual control.

B. New Testament

1. Pharisees and the Heavy Yoke (Matthew 23:4-7) –

   • Jesus rebuked them: “For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders…” (Matt. 23:4).
   • They loved position, authority, and elitism while rejecting true spiritual relationship.

2. Diotrephes (3 John 9-10) –

   • He rejected apostolic authority, loved preeminence, and controlled who was accepted in the church.
   • Greek: “loves to have the preeminence” (φιλοπρωτεύων, philoprōteuōn) = “desiring to be first,” meaning he sought exclusive control rather than servant leadership.

3. Simon the Sorcerer (Acts 8:18-23) –

   • He wanted to purchase the ability to give the Holy Spirit, a sign of manipulative spiritual control.
   • Example of co-opting spiritual authority for selfish gain.

4. Biblical Figures with Possible Misogynistic or Biased Views

1. Laban (Genesis 31:43-50)

   • Controlled Leah and Rachel’s marriages as a financial and political move rather than honoring their choices.
   • Saw women as bargaining tools rather than individuals with divine purpose.

2. Jephthah (Judges 11:30-39)

   • Rash vow led to sacrificing his daughter, possibly viewing her as a disposable object rather than having spiritual value.

3. Some Pharisees (Luke 7:36-50, John 8:3-11)

   • Disrespected women like the sinful woman washing Jesus’ feet and the adulterous woman, treating them as shameful rather than redeemable.

4. Peter (Initially, Acts 10:9-15)

   • At first refused to associate with Gentiles, indicating ingrained cultural bias.
   • God corrected him, showing bias can exist even in well-meaning leaders.

5. Certain Corinthians (1 Corinthians 14:34-35)

   • “Let your women keep silence in the churches…”
   • Context suggests Paul was addressing local issues, not making a universal rule, but this verse has been used to silence women unfairly.

MORE APOSTOLIC THOUGHTS

WELP reflects patterns of control, legalism, and spiritual elitism seen throughout both Testaments. Leaders who misuse authority often fall into:

• Legalistic control (Pharisees, Korah, Diotrephes)
• Misogyny (Laban, Jephthah, some Pharisees)
• Spiritual abuse (Eli’s sons, Simon the Sorcerer, Saul with divination)

Please follow-up on Levitical roots and how they were intended versus how they were misused?

Levitical Roots: Original Intent vs. Later Misuse

The Levitical priesthood was originally established by God as a holy, set-apart priestly order (Exodus 28-29), meant to:

1. Mediate between God and Israel (Numbers 3:5-10).
2. Teach God’s law (Malachi 2:7).
3. Maintain temple worship (Leviticus 6-7).
4. Offer sacrifices for sin (Leviticus 16).

However, as time passed, some Levites and priests distorted their role into a hierarchical, elite system—eventually leading to Pharisaical legalism and shepherding-style control.

I. God’s Original Purpose for the Levites

1. Service, Not Control

   • Levites were not given tribal land (Numbers 18:20) to ensure their focus remained on serving God, not acquiring power.
   • Their role was not one of domination but of intercession.

2. Authority by Anointing, Not Status

   • God called Moses (not a Levite, but from Levi’s tribe) and Aaron by divine selection.
   • Aaronic priests had authority, but only within their God-ordained functions.

3. No Exclusivity on Prophecy

   • The Spirit of God moved on others, not just priests (Numbers 11:25-29).
   • Miriam (a woman and a prophetess) and Eldad & Medad (non-Levites) prophesied, showing God’s authority extended beyond Levitical lineage.

4. Encouraged Justice & Mercy

   • Malachi 2:7-9: The priests were meant to teach the law faithfully, but many became corrupt.
   • Hosea 4:6: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” because the priests failed to teach rightly.

II. The Misuse of Levitical Authority

A. Misuse in the Old Testament

1. Korah’s Rebellion (Numbers 16)

   • Korah, a Levite, sought a hierarchical takeover rather than serving under God’s chosen order.
   • Key Hebrew Word: Qahal (קָהָל) = “assembly,” meaning he tried to gather political power in God’s name.

2. Eli’s Sons (1 Samuel 2:12-17)

   • Abused the sacrificial system for personal gain.
   • Seduced women at the Tabernacle, twisting their priestly authority into a means of control.

3. King Uzziah’s Attempted Priesthood (2 Chronicles 26:16-21)

   • A non-Levite king tried to usurp the priestly role.
   • Punished with leprosy—showing God’s strict division between secular authority and priestly service.

B. Shift into Pharisaical Control in the New Testament

1. Pharisees Replacing Relationship with Law

   • Originally, the Pharisees arose to preserve Jewish law, but they evolved into a legalistic power structure.
   • Jesus rebuked them in Matthew 23:4-7:
     

     “They bind heavy burdens… but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.”

   • Greek Word for Burden: Phortion (φορτίον) = a load meant to crush, indicating spiritual oppression.

2. Temple Elitism & Exclusion of the Unclean

   • The Pharisees controlled who could enter the temple (John 9:22 – the blind man’s parents feared excommunication).
   • Jesus overturned their money-changing system, exposing their monetization of access to God (Matthew 21:12-13).

III. How WELP Misuses Levitical Roots Today

Modern Western European Levitical Patriarchism (WELP) draws from Levitical traditions but twists them into a hierarchical, authoritarian model, similar to the Pharisees and corrupt priesthood of the past.

IV. Jesus as the High Priest Who Ended Hierarchical Control

Jesus fulfilled and replaced the old priesthood:

• Hebrews 7:12: “For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.”
• Matthew 23:8-10: “Be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.”
  • Jesus abolished priestly elitism, making all believers equal under Him.

Christ’s Model vs. WELP’s Control

Conclusion: Breaking Free from WELP’s False Authority

• Levitical priesthood was a foreshadowing, not a permanent model—Jesus replaced it.
• Spiritual authority must be based on relationship, not hierarchy.
• God calls both men and women, and any system that suppresses half the Body of Christ is out of divine order.

MAMA T’S MEGA, MICRO MINISTRY POINT
NOTE:  Touching God’s Anointed .sitting out in the seats of the Local Congregation Among these are many visitors, recently located, persons refreshing and relaxing who have their ministry which is different from the ministry flow, movement “kind” of ministry teaching that they are visiting

I speak from much experience, for out in the audience there may rising new moves, wounded called real persons, other moves of God they know nothing about, many non LP women and some men..persons are enjoying getting out of abusive home life, job loss, huge demeaning job, family, life difficult oppression, the Lost the Curious, plus the deeply wounded, just been badly abused the night before the service, the single parent working 2-3 jobs, plus , many stressed out business persons, more..this women person is STRONGLY WARNING THESE SET IN THEIR WAYS PREACHER HIM, HER BIG BOSS STYLES..to cease with the elite pomp and ceremony and GO AFTER THE REAL COMMON PERSONS for YOU and MANY are often guilty of.”touching God’s anointed” who are NOT known by YOU or your staff, your faith filled elders, ONLY THE LIVING GOD KNOWS these fine many persons.
PS Caution your staff, your lay leader, cell group heads. for the POWER TRIP in those is MOSTLY what this discovered as warranting this admonition. (occult warning)

To “divine, inner, psyhic” READ another person to Pop Psychology ‘ministry diagnose’ with relating and getting to know is EVIL UNFAIR and UNKIND even “dangerous” This it the exact reason for my   writing about this. For inherited passed down accuser demonic targeting “real” spirit of  the First Colonies New England WELP in Puritan Salem, Mass which spawned the infamous witch trials and  used ,  (subjective often biased) “spectral evidence” (which is techincally the use of false religion,  witch craft) to then ACCUSE and MURDER “selected females”… due their ‘vibe, rumors, looks.”
It’s has since  become a DANGER for some of us to SHOW UP in this critical charismatics (unknowingly I went not understanding what I was noting) All of this seems to fall under the spiritual Bible category of “fellowshipping with these saints (Hebrews 10:25) I want to clarify in this accusative case” “to Fellowship with the saints who move in the Holy Spirit.
I did not understand (being reared a former Baptist)  that onne does not know the underlying and subliminal activity and you take a huge risk of being labeled a ‘witch” ” a Jezebel” and ‘warlock” or more if the immature choosy staff under 50 get Praised by top leadership of ferreting out one more “charismatic white witch,etc. How many of us, we, who are real people and aware of Life are on these WHITE LP targeting “witch lists.” This fine arts, fine tune seer gifted giant crowd has caused me to study doctrine, and to search this person’s own heart, more than ANY OTHER IN MY Christian Ministry, Life;

Let’s Remind Ourselves Again: Touching God’s Anointed

Let us remember: “Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm” (Psalm 105:15, 1 Chronicles 16:22)—not just those in leadership, but also the many anointed individuals God is raising up in this hour, outside of man-made hierarchies.

 BIBLE PSALMS 132:9 & 16 Mega Lesson

This PSALM 132:9 and 16 big insight comes from three decades of studying the Body of Christ, particularly big grassroots ministry. Over the years, I have heard many stern pulpit messages accusing congregations of murmuring or “touching God’s anointed”—which, in their view, meant questioning them.

Yet, behind the scenes, many of these same leaders were sin-conscious dominators, sly accusers, and “witch watchers.” They were particularly suspicious of those who, in their eyes, appeared “unsubmitted”—often targeting individuals who looked different, were diverse, or didn’t fit their mold.

For these leaders, God’s ministry became all about THEM—their position, their power, and their money-making office turf. When God revealed the true meaning of certain Bible scriptures to me, it was like a lightbulb moment. It connected directly to the U.S. charismatic movement, TV media ministries, and the obsession with fame and self-promotion.

Instead of seeking the Lord for instruction and healing, these leaders became accusers—operating in an “evil eye” form of witchcraft and cunning manipulation. They shifted blame onto the already burdened people of God, rather than confronting their own spiritual condition.
