Evidence for this satanic age & the mental preparation for Antichrist

[Yankee Candle]

Thank you for your patience and responses. I don't like to just assume I know what someone is trying to say which is why I ask for clarification. I believe I now get the point you are trying to make here.

No doubt the devil is working hard to turn people from God and anything godly so they will not only enjoy wickedness themselves and not only tolerate others being wicked but so they will willingly participate and promote wickedness.

I wasn't saying I didn't believe you with regards to Anton, just pointing out his and his daughters explanation for their rituals. They claim to be anti-God, this is certainly do believe, and part of this is their also being anti-Bible, as in they say they believe nothing the Bible says. Part of their mocking of the God and the Bible is worshipping the one the Bible declares to be the enemy, Satan, and doing so using rituals based upon Catholic rituals with the intent to mock Christianity, God and the Bible. This all sounds plausible and they could certainly being doing the devils work without actually believing he even exists. Without doubt there are some involved with the Church of Satan who do see themselves as worshipping a literal devil and Anton and his daughter admit this but claim that most of these simply haven't evolved enough to realize Satan is just another myth of the Bible and Satan really just represents full human freedom to do as they please. Whatever the actual case may be, they are serving the cause of the devil.

It's also worth noting that the Church of Satan is actually rather small and there are many more out there calling themselves Satanists who don't agree with them. They tend to view Satan as more of a demi-god or even another god basically equal to God. These sorts tend to be far more "dark" and inclined toward aspects of violence.

Again, it's clear the world is more inclined to follow the devil than God. The world is lost in their sins and mostly uninterested in seeking God but rather most interested in seeking their own desires. This is something Satan promotes by any means available to him, whether through movies, music, commercials, the public schools, ungodly politicians, false pastors, etc.

I see. Well, that's good. I've enjoyed communicating with you.

But brother, a big part of the reason for the expose is that as a pastor I have counseled with people from many backgrounds who were affected by the things I've posted since last night. Even for a tiny church in a small town I have counseled witches, satanists, New Agers, Hindus who literally worshipped many gods, cutters, S & M practicioners, drug addicts, homosexuals/lesbians, and children whose hearts and minds were messed up by the movies, T.V. programs, and comics they were allowed to read. What I posted above had a big part in influencing the lives of those so troubled.

Best wishes.

Unfortunately there are some pastors who don't even believe there is a literal devil. Other pastors believe there is a devil but they don't believe he's very active outside of certain limited areas. There are also those who are quick to be skeptical about anything demonic.

Our hearts and minds will either be influenced for the better by the Word of God and abiding in His Spirit, or they will be influenced for the worse by enemy.

Wicked minded people are very often easily influenced to further wickedness by what they see on TV, watch in movies, hear in secular music, etc. The enemy pushes unbiblical sex through all these means, for example, with the goal of making such things seem normal and something everyonoe is doing. This leads to more adultery, premarital sex, divorce, homosexuality, pornography and various other perversions.

It's a sad fact that many pastors will proclaim there is nothing wrong with most TV and movies, just avoid the "really bad stuff". Of course, this isn't from the Bible which clearly warns us that a little leaven will leaven the whole lump.

[JerryNumbers]

Why are you putting forth this junk from the pits of hell? This is serving no purpose except for planting these demonic influences in people's head.

I believe I'm in agreement with you.

[Yankee Candle]

I believe I'm in agreement with you.

I see. So you agree with trc that the works of the devil should not be exposed.

When did they start handing out blindfolds around here?

[MaxKennedy]

A lot of information here. I'm going to go back later and save it.

I've saved a lot of this stuff myself over the years. I prOBably wouldn't use some of it above, but most of it looks valid to me. Sometimes, you need stuff to wake people up.

I have a good example of the star trek stuff that really disgusted me. There is an animation show
for Star Trek after it was cancelled that used the voices of the original actors, and in one of
the shows, they have the devil on the show, and it ends with the devil just being mis-understood and
ought to be loved. I think its this one:
The magicks of Megas-Tu
http://www.startrekanimated.com/tas_ep_magicks.html
Notice the spelling is specifically with CK, which means the type
witches like to spell it as - but little kids wouldn't know that.

I've done research in this area. I think the intention is to get people to listen to evil
spirits, and sometimes not to realize it either - ie "esp". It goes on in churches too, because
people are listening to satan and thinking he's God or "an angel of light". So its
to cheapen, redefine words or things, and try to get people to be unwary.

No blindfold here.

I started making a table of the sins of the sodomites that God's people fought in the Holy Land, and it included sexually immorality,
intoxication, witchcraft, and murder of children (abortion). In other words, all the same sins flooding our country and
being promoted here.

[MaxKennedy]

FYI - studying the number of translators of modern corrupt versions who were into seances, homosexuality, and other types of witchcraft like goddess worship (NIV) is also interesting.

[MaxKennedy]

Either Anton and/or his daughter explained the meaning of their rituals, which were often a mockery of Catholic ritual. It wasn't that they believed they were performing them before a living being any more than they believed Catholics were, but rather for the purpose and effect of ritual and ceremony. This is akin to those who hold ceremonies to pagan gods that they don't really believe exists, such as various Odinists and others do.

Some Wiccans do indeed believe there is some power in their practices but the point I was making was in their shared worldview that anything goes so long as you don't hurt anyone.

I don't believe this like the original poster said. I've dealt with too many people involved with witchcraft as well. Yes, they know they are worshipping the real satan, and the joke is that you believed them when they just said it was a game. In fact, they sometimes make victims this way - its a way to hurt the innocent more.

This is a lot like the medieval "devil's bluster" found in plays, where the devil does a lot of damage, and then says "hohoho". You sometimes find that in Chick tracts as well.

Regardless, we wrestle against principalities and powers, and not flesh and blood.

FYI - Out of curiousity, I looked up the review for that above star trek on amazon - which I posted so yankee candle could add to his collection, and got this:

A great mix of Star Trek and WitchCraft!, August 22, 2000
By Jon Almada (Shingle Springs, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Star Trek - The Animated Series, Vol. 5: The Magicks of Megus-Tu/ The Time Trap [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The Magick's of Megastu episode was written by a Pagan aware author, and is NOT evil, but in fact a well done introduction to the Craft for beginners... It is NOT about Satan... Witches do NOT believe in Satan. This episode was a pioneer work that broke new ground for Witches and Pagans at a time when both were (and are) mis-understood and mis-characterized by a number of forces and institutions in the world. Combining the subject with Star Trek and it's inherent ability to help break taboo subjects to the public was a stroke of pure genius.
For it's time, it was a gutsy move by the network to show it, and it is a misunderstood piece of work, and it was time someone set the record straight. Magicks of Megastu also was turned into a book that I believe you can find on Amazon. The story is engaging, and an enjoyable read. It was my very first introduction to the Craft, and is a story I am very fond of, as it helped to make me the Witch that I am now.

I give it extremely high marks and am happy to own the tape and book.

Blessed Be! AJ

That is why you are suppose to constantly expose and rebuke these things, exactly like you are suppose to do for abortion, sexual immorality of all sorts, homosexuality, etc.

Bible passages are the way to rebuke these sins. If they won't hear it, fine, but at least let them know what the bible says clearly without hindarance. It's also a witness opportunity, because if they want to dispute what the bible says, you can show them other things.

Regardless, we wrestle against principalities and powers, and not flesh and blood.

There are various groups into witchcraft. Some are just playing (a dangerous game!), while some are serious and others are downright devoted. Some see the devil as the source of their "powers" while others don't; they see the false goddess' and "spirits" (demonic) as the source of their "powers".

Of course, whether they actually realize the devil is in this or not, the entire realm of witchcraft is satanic.

Many have foolishly opened themselves up to demonic attacks and influence by playing with ouija boards, trying to cast "spells", wearing occultic jewelry as they ask for protection or guidance from the same.

Indeed, we wrestle against principalities and powers. The enemy is ever active in outright ways like satanism and witchcraft and in subtle way such as through unsaved "pastors" in supposed Christian churches.

We must stand firm against this by pursuing holiness in our own lives, discipling our brothers and sisters in Christ and spreading the Gospel to the lost.

Thanks, Max. I will look into that.

But just because of your inquisitive and thoughtful remarks and how reasonable John81 was in reasoning through the material I will post more of this before the day is over, Lord willing.

The Lord bless you, friend.

I don't think we need to believe they're innocent of knowing they worship the devil. Many of them do indeed exhibit esp and strange ways of knowing (wizardry), clairvoiance (the fortunte teller in acts), ect.

I've cast devils out of many of these people. As much as you think your thinking fairly, its not the faith that says its time to pray and tell the spirits to get out of the person. Its the same type of belief that its just people like this being innocent in churches too, instead of admitting that yes, there are plenty of people worshiping and talking to satan at the moment in churches, knowing it. The fake gift of tongues of the pentecostal movement is a good example. Those are devils. How many people like that do we have in America? Its time to stop saying hey its ok to have a devil, and cast it out already.

And Star Trek is a good example. I still love the original television series. But the more I look into it, all those people had to be actively worshiping satan or filled with his spirit like Judas was. I have another thing I dug up last night which I'll post after this. Its not hard to find stuff like this either, since its everywhere. Its not a few people in this society, its *a lot* of them. Edited October 8, 2010 by MaxKennedy

Moving on with evidence for the mental preparation of our society for antichrist;

J.R.R. Tolkien wrote was has become the most celebrated fantasy novels of all time: The Lord of the Rings.



Many Christians have become whole hearted fans of this story not knowing that Tolkien was a Roman Catholic mystic whose philosophy was much more Gnostic than biblical. The word Gnostic is from the Greek 'gnosis' = knowledge. Gnosticism is a term that describes many of the ancient anti-christian cults of the Roman world in the first three centuries.



It is supposed to be a belief system that sets good vs evil in terms of humans/hOBbits/elves vs the demonic-like orcs. Tolkeins series & the movies made from them are based upon this concept. The Lord Jesus Christ and God are never mentioned once. The battle between 'good' and 'evil' is fought by those on the 'light' side against those on the 'dark side', but both use magic against each other. THAT is gnosticism.

There were many moments of fear and terror in the story:



This split-second scene by itself is enough to make any unsuspecting person feel a jolt of fear. But remember what Paul told us: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

The Holy Spirit brings across the truth about Satan and his kingdom without frightening the readers. So it should be for all Christians novels and movies. The Lord of the Rings therefore does not qualify.

But not only so I found elements of outright black magick in this story as I mentioned earlier concerning 'Lawnmower Man'.
Below is the 'map' of Middle Earth as seen in the movie:



Notice I have made a green arrow directed at the pointing finger on the map. This appeared very briefly in the movie but in the Hildebrandt Brothers childrens book the pointing finger is identical to this:



This is from the black magick book "Keys of Solomon the King" (has nothing to do with Solomon of the Bible!). It is the moon pentacle and its purpose is for occultists to cast spells or create magickal effects (manipulation of circumstances, mind control, love potions, etc).

The 'Door of Moria' in Tolkiens "The Two Towers":



...is virtually identical to the door symbol of the Masonic 18th degree Royal Arch.



Here is an up-close view of the 'Doors of Moria'.



The pillars, the seven stars, the arch, and the blazing comet are all there. Each of them have a deep metaphysical meaning that I won't get into here, but this is, once again; gnosticism. The Lord of the Rings is gnostic in nature and has nothing to do with Christianity. One important note before I move on to another point: Occultists of virtually all stripes love Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings.

Are Christians supposed to pay attention and detail the way Satan works...that is, the way he lures believers into sin?

Yes. Here's the proof from the real Solomon in Proverbs:

Pr 7:6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,

7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:

12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.

13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.

15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey.

20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

Solomon gave us this helpful warning by making a careful OBservation from a distance. So since we have the Internet at our disposal it is just one way in which we can OBerve and expose Satan's efforts to destroy souls and Christian lives...at a distance. But it must be done with prayer and careful consideration as guided by the Holy Spirit.

May the Lord Jesus be exalted.

A lot of information here. I'm going to go back later and save it.

The Lord bless you, friend.

I looked at the cartoon show since it was on youtube, and Kirk is defending Lucifer at the end, and the devil gives them all drinks to have a toast with him. Totatly disgusting. And everyone on the original show engaged in this because that is all their voices on it even though its a cartoon.

"Sulu"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Takei
Is a homosexual who just recently "wed" in California, and they make an allusion to it in the cartoon too (haha) although no one would have gotten it then.

"Checkof"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Koenig
Was the best man at this homosexual wedding, and starred in a propaganda movie to make witchcraft/wicca look good called
"drawing down the moon", which is suppose to be some witchcraft ceremony (fyi I don't bother reading up on what new agers and witches believe - its all lies always changing - the bible has all the information you need)

So I'd say you hit the nail square on the head about the creators of star trek.

FYI: The point is not to believe the society is not as bad as it is. The society is worshiping satan openly and talking to him. The point is that you are a sinner saved by grace no matter how bad your sins have been, and you have the chance to repent until you die, but after that the judgement.

The society is totatly wicked. If I didn't know my bible, I'd think it was the mark of the beast, but its not. Its been this way for awhile. Witchcraft has existed for a long time. But that is what the most wicked that deal with this stuff need to know. They *can* be saved. They don't have the mark, devils can be driven off, and you can't lose your salvation. All of which, FYI, are doctrines of false churches trying to literally keep people enslaved to satan. Its no mistake, its two sides of the same coin.

God bless you too Yankee Candle. Edited October 8, 2010 by MaxKennedy

I generally like to avoid symbols, because I can prove something using the bible alone, but I've looked at Tolkien before, and I'm still looking at it. Narnia is a lot easier to do, because there is outright heresies in it, and there is a good writeup about it online.
http://www.balaams-ass.com/journal/homemake/cslewis.htm

On Tolkien - there is a lot of of things that promote witchcraft and wizardry as cute - but promoting it as cute isn't biblical.
Aragon goes to the path of the dead in the books and conjures up a dead army. Necromancy.
I suspect its written as an allegory like a lot of these books are, although Tolkien denies, and therefore the book itself prOBably needs to be thrown into
the fire instead of the one ring (one tale?). And I suspect that the Inklings were a little more perverse than we know.

One of tolkien's sons, fyi, was a catholic priest caught up in the pedophile scandal.

All these things tend to the same effect, which is intended:

Witchcraft and Sorcery is cute, and devils don't exist.
Then, Witchcraft and Sorcery is real, and devils don't exist.

The truth is, all the symbolism, rituals, and spells is so much baal worship. Evil spirits exist, this stuff is junk to cause confusion. Something really happen? Evil spirit. Edited October 8, 2010 by MaxKennedy
