Selena's Murder: Spiritual Warfare against the Feminine
Selena's murder has left people stunned and grieving for decades leaving us all to ask, Why?
I will attempt to explain why it happened at the deepest level.
First, it has to do with her appeal, which is why evil wanted to stop it.
Her appeal beyond the obvious music excellence was how her character shined through, which is what gave the music such richly charged inflections.
The magic of Selena was her maximum femininity: expressiveness, spontaneity, joy, caring, nurturing, and purity.
Femininity is not something people even know how to talk about anymore with the dominant narratives denying femininity for feminism that masculinizes women to help women compete with men.
The PC woke narrative supports multicultural politics of affirming Mexican American identities and the success of a woman in a largely male Tehano music scene. I support those things too, but I support something else in her that challenges the liberal narrative. Those achievements that please liberals do not explain the bigger issue of how Selena achieved those things or why she was dangerous and to whom.
Selenas charisma flowed from her feminine aspect that made her good and loving. Femininity is a dying form in America, and some women are now fighting to bring it back. I have described her feminine qualities previously. This is not a part of the PC woke narrative that requires someone to hate: men, whites, etc. Selena does not represent any of that even though she succeeded by some of their objectives but did a whole lot more: a universal appeal to love and being a feminine woman.
Although I don't know of anyone who opposed her publically, we see what happens from a spiritual warfare perspective.
The woman who murdered her was a classic spirit of Jezebel, that's a demon working for Satan. Satan wants to make people suffer to get back at God. Satan is a baby man having a temper tantrum because he did not get his way.
As an employee of Selena, Isabella was controlling of other employees, a liar, and thief. She was deceptive in pretending to meet with Selena to reconcile but then shot her. Like the Judas's betrayal it was supernaturally guided in ways that no one saw coming. Maybe not even Isabella, who expressed some regret after it happened, like Judas, although she continued to lie.
The Jezebel spirit hates feminine and Godly women and usually succeeds in corrupting them, a story that is just the repeat of Eve misleading Adam. But not Selena, there was only one way to stop her.
Isabella's opening to demonic manipulation seems to have been jealousy: she went from extreme idolization to going crazy.
Selena's father noticed Isabella was stealing from Selena's fan club and fashion boutiques. He warned Selena and fired Isabella but Selena could not let go of some degree of trust in the woman who pretended to be her friend. I can't fault him for not doing enough. But he had abused the trust of Selena by being a dictator and trying to prevent her from marrying Chris, who turned out to be a great guy accepted by the rest of the family. This was the father's sin of pride and stubbornness that I think was never fully overcome toward Chris because he wanted most control over the estate and legacy. In the Bible, the husband takes over from the father, i think most people see it that way.
In spiritual warfare people are manipulated by demonic voices in their heads that are hard for others to see to anticipate what to do. Really the best way to protect against this is through faith: prayer that asks God for guidance, and to listen for signs when you are unaware.
The only way I can deal with the devastating loss of Selena is to turn my attention back to Jesus and come to biblically based conclusions.
Selena and her family identified as Jehovah's witnesses. I heard her father was posting bible quotes on FB. There is a bible quote on Selena's grave. I heard only one statement that she was becoming interested in her faith and had a bible tutor, but I can't remember the source and her family never talks about this. Her father talked to her like she was right in the room. You can't talk to dead spirits. You can only talk to God.
If Selena's faith was hanging by a thread, I hope she made it. We can only count on heaven and hell, not the flesh world. We must turn our eyes to God especially in difficult times.
Selena compares to Charlie Kirk, who became the enemy of evil when he turned against Satanic Israel.
