In the last book of the Bible, Jesus Christ gives His Last warning before He returns the
second time. This Last Day warning is found in chapters 13, 14, 16, 17 & 18 of the Book of
Revelation. Jesus warns His people about how the whole world will be deceived into
worshipping Satan, symbolized as the Seven Headed Dragon attacking a woman, a symbol of
the True Faith.
In Revelation 13:4, 8, 9 Jesus' prediction about the worship of Satan throughout this world
may be read: "And they WORSHIPPED THE DRAGON which gave power unto the beast:
and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war
with him? ... And all that dwell upon the earth SHALL WORSHIP HIM, WHOSE NAMES
ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE OF THE LAMB SLAIN FROM THE
FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. If any man have an ear, let him hear."
The Apostle John wrote: "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that
antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last
time." 1.John 2:18.
The Apostle Paul warned: "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not
come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped: so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."
2.Thessalonians 2:3,4. There are various ways our Lord has made known to His followers
how to detect Satan who is the invisible head of a partly religious and partly political
movement. Revelation 13:18 warns it would be branded with the number 666. In Revelation
17:5 our Lord describes this satanic movement that is antichrist in a symbol of a lewd
beautiful woman. And upon her forehead was a name written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE
GREAT, MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
The very last warning our Lord is now giving the deceived world is found in Revelation
18:4. "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE,
THAT YE BE NOT PARTAKERS OF HER SINS, AND THAT YE RECEIVE NOT OF
HER PLAGUES."
There are three distinct messages symbolized as three angels in Revelation 14. Revelation
14:6, 7 is calling the world away from the worship of the Dragon, to worship God who created
the heaven, earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. In Revelation 14:8 it tells how
Babylon the Great is fallen and how she has made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath
of her fornication. However, in Revelation 14:9,10 we read the most solemn warning ever
given to the world, of which most are completely ignorant. Satan is hardly ever mentioned in
many Christian circles, much less how he is predicted in Scripture to lead most to lose their
salvation.
"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast
and his image, and receive his MARK in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of
the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his
indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy
angels, and in the presence of the Lamb." Revelation 14:9,10.
God reveals that all nations have already been deceived by "Babylon the Great, The
Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth." And our Lord is calling His people out of
Babylon. But, the question to most is, what is Babylon? This is the whole purpose of this
book. It is to lay wide open for all to see what the sins of Babylon the Great are, and who she
is, and who this mysterious scarlet colored beast is that she is riding on, as described in
Revelation 17:1-8.
While we study the history and the nature of "Babylon the Great (and of the Beast that is
carrying her)," we will learn that there was, is, and always shall be in this world, avowed
worshippers of Lucifer. Some will be shocked to learn that Luciferians have lived and died in
promoting the worship of Lucifer through Babylonian, Egyptian and Druid Witchcraft, and
are determined to overthrow all religions and governments. Their goal is to unite the world
into a One World Government, and exalt Lucifer as the only god of this world!
As we continue to study the nature of "Babylon the Great," we will study the philosophies
of "Wicca" Wicca is the modern version of Babylonian, Egyptian, and Druid Witchcraft with
millions of both male and female members. We will learn how apostles of Lucifer in the past
and present are using Secret Societies, Communism, International Banking, Christian fronts,
social issues to further their plans. We will learn how these modern day witches are ever
determined to overthrow the worship of Jesus Christ and Christianity by using subliminal
warfare (Mind Sciences), and physical force. This Luciferian plot to destroy all religions and
all governments, so that a One World Luciferian Government may be established, is coming
today, in what is known as "The Aquarian Age," or "The New Age Movement." In Latin it is
called Novus Ordo Seclorum (New Order for the Ages). But its real, concealed name is The
Illuminati. And, it will be shown that it was from the Secret Order of The Illuminati, that
Communism was derived!
We will study the origin of the number 666, and who today is branded with it. We will
study the Mark of the Beast with whom no true follower of Jesus will identify. We will take a
journey through documentive history starting with Lucifer's rebellion in Heaven, and continue
to expose through history how Lucifer was worshipped, both ignorantly and openly, through
the astrological systems of Sun worship. After the camouflages have been removed from
paganism that reveal it was in reality Satan who was worshipped as the Sun-god, then we shall
remove all the camouflages Lucifer is hiding behind today, through false systems of
Christianity, and through an international political movement for a One World Government.
These two symbols, "Babylon the Great" and the Beast that ascendeth out of the
Bottomless Pit, will be carefully studied and understood later on in the book. However, before
the ordinary reader can comprehend any of these things, we must go back into history to the
time of Adam and Eve, and to the time of Noah and Nimrod.
The origin of lies traces to Lucifer (Genesis 3:4). And the origin of false religion also
began with Lucifer. In Isaiah 14:12-15 we read:
"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down
to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend
into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds: I will be
like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell to the sides of the pit."
It has been Lucifer's plan from ancient times to gradually unite this entire world into a One
World Government that would reject its Creator and worship Lucifer instead.
Lucifer before his fall was the most exalted angel next to Christ. The "son of the morning"
stood in the presence of God with Christ. He was the covering Cherub, the lightbearer for
God. However, Lucifer began to think of himself as equal in splendor and wisdom to God. He
began to think he also deserved worship from the Lord's servants, and began to plot against
the Lord of Heaven. Lucifer, the covering Cherub, did set his face to overthrow the worship of
God. Lucifer did not at once reveal his covetousness. If he had exposed all of his plans to the
Universe, where sin and rebellion at that time were not known, he would not have gained
much following. Lucifer's plot to overthrow the government of Heaven would take long and
careful planning. Little by little, Lucifer began to find others whose sympathy he could gain
by criticizing how the Lord managed the affairs of the Universe. Lucifer tried to make the
God of Love, the Lord of the Sabbath, appear to be a selfish tyrant. Lucifer, assuming the
guise of godliness, led many Heavenly Beings to come over to his side by misrepresenting
God's character, as if God Himself were the Evil One.
Lucifer sowed seeds of murmuring, complaining and strife which germinated into
rebellion, and caused divisions among the angels of Heaven. Lucifer tried to weaken the unity
of Heaven, thinking this would weaken the power of the Almighty. However, only one third
of the Heavenly host chose the side of the god of confusion. The whole Universe chose only
two sides; there was no middle ground. There was war in Heaven between Christ and Lucifer.
"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world: He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with
him." Revelation 12:9.
The very plans Lucifer tried to execute in Heaven, he is now conditioning the people of the
world to accept. Just as Satan, or Lucifer, concealed his real plans from the angels in Heaven
in the beginning to overthrow the worship of God, so is Lucifer trying today to overthrow the
True worship of God among the inhabitants of this world. Just as Satan did not suddenly
expose his real plans that would have demanded the worship of him by Heavenly Beings, so
has Satan camouflaged the worship of himself among earthly beings, through a world-wide
network of gods and goddesses, and later through false systems of Christianity.
Sun worship was the greatest rival religion of the worship of Jehovah in the Old
Testament. It was through Sun worship that the worship of Lucifer was camouflaged
throughout this world. Those who obeyed the pagan precepts were actually bowing their knee
before the Devil, not gods as they thought. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves
servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of
obedience unto righteousness?" Romans 6:16.
As the angels of Heaven chose sides before Lucifer was cast out of heaven, so will the
people of this world join into two distinct groups before the end of this age. The line of
distinction, which will be studied in detail in the closing chapter, will be drawn by the Mark of
the Beast foretold in Revelation 13: 11-18 and 14:6-13.
The Luciferian plot to overthrow the worship of Jesus has always worked in secret, using
camouflages to remain hidden. It has not come upon the world suddenly, but little by little.
Likewise, we must also trace this history of the great Luciferian Conspiracy little by little. We
will expose how primitive man was deceived into worshipping Lucifer, then bring the reader
down through the centuries and show how Lucifer is being worshipped in these modern
1990's.
To begin this study, let's take a closer look at the name "Lucifer" itself. The name
"Lucifer" in Latin means "Light-Bearer" and may also mean the planet Venus, which is the
"morning star at dawn"[2]. In Greek mythology, Lucifer was personified as a male figure
bearing a torch[3]. Hence, we have the origin of the Light-Bearer of the Olympic Games. The
Greek transliteration of the name of this incarnation of Lucifer in the myth was Teitan. In
middle English his name was Titan, which also meant "Sungod"[4]. .A distorted record of the
rebellion of Lucifer and that of the rebel giant Nimrod has been preserved in Greek
mythology. Titan (Teitan), the personification of Lucifer, was the ancestor of a race of giant
humans here on earth who were overthrown by the Olympian gods[6]. Hence, the word titan
today means "one gigantic in size or power." And, the word titanism today in our language
means "spirit of rebellion; or a defiance of and revolt against the established order or
authority"[6].
As Lucifer was the chief leader that led the angelic host to rebel against God, so did
Nimrod cause the early descendants of Noah to rebel against God. Flavius Josephus, the
ancient Jewish historian, wrote about Nimrod and how he seduced the people of his day to
rebel against God, and was first to teach the arts of masonry, while building the "Tower of
Babel." From the book "The Complete Works of Flavius Josephus", we read the following:
" ... Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was
the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He
persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it was through his means they were happy, but to
believe that it was their own courage which produced that happiness. He also gradually
changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from fear of God,
but to bring them into a constant dependence on his own power. He also said he would be
revenged on God, if he would have a mind to drown the world again, for that he would build a
tower too high for the waters to be able to reach! And that he would avenge himself on God
for destroying their forefathers!
"Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem
it a piece of cowardice to submit to God; and they built a tower, neither sparing any pains, nor
being in any degree negligent about the work. And by reason of the multitude of hands
employed in it, it grew very high, sooner than any one could expect; but the thickness of it
was so great, and it was so strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed, upon the view,
to be less than it really was." (The Complete Works of Flavius Josephus, Whiston, Kregel
Publications, 1960, 1978, p.30.)
Nimrod tried to unite the whole known world of his day into a One World Government that
would be anti-God or Antichrist. But God wanted the sons of Noah to eventually replenish the
earth by traveling abroad the earth and settling in colonies. This would have kept in check the
wickedness that has always derived out of the cities. In the beginning, it was not intended that
man be crowded together in large cities. This tower of Babel, the building of which Nimrod
supervised, was to have two great significances. The city of Babel would become the
metropolis of the world and unite its inhabitants under the dictatorial rule of Nimrod. And its
tower was to be a monument to man to stand as a symbol of the wisdom of its builders. By
building the city of Babel, Nimrod hoped to prevent the people from scattering abroad into
colonies as the Lord intended. While in the midst of this building, when the tower reached an
height that it could today be called "skyscraper," our Lord came against it. In Genesis 11:3-9
we read: "And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.
And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said, Go to, let us build
us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be
scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city
and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is
one, and they have one language; and this they began to do: and now nothing will be
restrained from them which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there
confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord
scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the
city. Therefore is the name of it Babel (confusion); because the Lord did there confound the
language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of
all the earth."
Nimrod, who also built Nineveh, was worshipped by its early inhabitants under his deified
name "Ninus." He was first to incite people to war with their neighbors after the confusion of
tongues had scattered the early descendants of Noah over the earth. Trogus Pompeius, who
wrote of Ninus, states that the first King of Nineveh caused the people to war against
themselves. Alexander Hislop compiled this statement written by Trogus Pompeius, the
ancient historian, in his book The Two Babylons, p. 23:
" 'Ninus, king of Assyrians,' says Trogus Pompeius epitomized by Justin, 'first of all
changed the contented moderation of the ancient manners, incited by a new passion, the desire
of conquest. He was the first who carried on war against his neighbours and he conquered all
nations from Assyria to Lybia, as they were yet unacquainted with the arts of war.'"
Hislop goes on to quote another ancient historian named Diodorus Siculus and shows how
Trogus Pompeius and Siculus both agree with each other.
" 'Ninus, the most ancient of the Assyrian kings mentioned in history, performed great
actions. Being naturally of a warlike disposition, and ambitious of glory that results from
valeur, he armed a considerable number of young men that were brave and vigorous like
himself, trained them up a long time in laborious exercises and hardships, and by that means
accustomed them to bear the fatigues of war, and to face dangers with intrepidity.' " Loizeaux
Brothers, Neptune, NJ, 1916.
Hence, Nimrod (Ninus) was celebrated at Nineveh, which he built, as a War-god, and his
epics as a hunter, a warrior, and his death were later imitated in the Assyrian, Babylonian,
Egyptian, Greek, Roman and American Indian Mysteries. His Egyptian name was Osiris[7].
To the Romans, he was also worshipped as Mars (which means "The Rebel"), from which our
name March was derived. He was Zernebogus to the Anglo-Saxon, which means: "The Seed
of the Prophet Cush"[8]. But, Nimrod's ancient Babel name was Merodach, which means "To
Be Bold, or Rebel"[9]. So here we find the real meaning of these two gods found in Scripture:
"Bel (The Confounder) is confounded, Merodach (The Rebel) is broken in pieces Jeremiah
50:2)." We will study more of the origin of the name "Bel" later.
In the Babylonian myth of Tammuz, or Thammuz (the equivalent to the Egyptian god
Osiris, who actually was Nimrod, the ringleader in the great apostasy against our Lord, was
ordered to be killed by a certain king. The reason given for his death was that Tammuz, the
incarnation of the Sun-god, tried to promote the worship of Astrology to this certain king.
However, this king ordered him to be put to death. Maimonides, another ancient historian, had
read deeply into the learning of the Chaldeans. He describes this myth, quoted by Hislop in
The Two Babylons, p. 62:
"When the false prophet named Thammuz preached to a certain king that he should
worship the seven stars and the twelve signs of the Zodiac, that king ordered him to be put to
a terrible death. On the night of his death all the images assembled from the ends of the earth
into the temple of Babylon, to the great golden image of the Sun, which was suspended
between heaven and earth. That image prostrated itself in the midst of the temple, and so did
all the images around it, while it related to them all that had happened to Thammuz. The
images wept and lamented all the night long, and then in the morning they flew away, each to
his own temple again, to the ends of the earth. And hence arose the custom every year on the
first day of the month of Thammuz to mourn and to weep for Thammuz."
Now, in the worship of the Sun-god among the Mexicans, they believed that for the Sungod to bestow life on the world, he needed also to receive life from it [10]. To show the reader
the murderous character of Satan displayed in people, and what human beings can be led to do
by his false religious spirit, we will explore some of the reasons behind the rites of human
sacrifices.
To the ancient Mexicans, the heart was the seat and symbol of life, and bleeding hearts of
men and animals were presented to the Sun-god to maintain him in vigor and enable him to
run his course across the sky [11].
Now, when the Israelites turned their backs from worshipping the Lord, they adopted the
worship of the pagan gods from their neighbors. And they too were led by pagan high priests
to sacrifice human beings. "They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor and ate the sacrifices
of the dead. Thus they provoked the Lord to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake
in upon them. And they served their idols which were a snare unto them. Yea, they sacrificed
their sons and their daughters unto DEVILS and shed innocent blood, even the blood of their
sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was
polluted with blood." Psalms 106:28, 29, 36-38.
The ignorant Israelites were not sacrificing their children to gods, as they thought, but unto
devils. Paul, over 1000 years later, said the sacrifices of the Gentiles which the Israelites
adopted were actually "Sacrifices to Devils." "But I say, that the things which the Gentiles
sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have
fellowship with devils." 1.Corinthians 10:20.
As history has documented, that greatest object in pagan worship was the sun, who was
symbolized all over the world as a heavenly bull [12]. The pagans displayed the cosmic god in
their arts as a bull standing on its hind legs with a tail, hoofs and horns, with a man's head and
arms, with a threeprong pitchfork in his hand. So the ancient cosmic symbol of the Sun-god,
with hoofs, a tail, horns and a pitchfork, is where we today get our symbol for Satan as having
hoofs, a tail, and horns, with a pitchfork in his hand.
In pagan philosophy, lightning was the manifestation of their god's wrath and an agent of
his punishment. The thunder was the voice of his warnings [13]. In ancient Greece, thunder
and lightning were believed by the worshippers of Zeus to be manifestations of his presence.
Any spot struck by lightning became sacred. The very name "Zeus" (skt. dyaus, "The Bright
Sky") identifies him as the god of the sky and its phenomena [14]. In Rome he was
worshipped as Jupiter, in Scandinavia, Thor, and in Canaan, Baal, the Storm god.
Lightning from the sky separates into branches; hence, the lightning bolt found in the hand
of the supreme god of the sky was stylized into a pitchfork. This was a symbol for his power,
as he who controls the lightning bolt.
Besides Satan's personation of Christ just before Jesus' Second Coming, what other power
of God is the second beast of Revelation 13:11-17 going to counterfeit through lying
wonders? "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the
earth in the sight of men." And this is still future.
The prince of the power of the air is also the prince of darkness. Just as the pagan was
deceived by Satan in ancient times, so is the Christian in modern times. And, if man can learn
how to bring electricity down from the sky and harness its energy, how much more could
Satan, a supernatural being, who is even called in the Bible "The Prince of the Power of the
Air" (Ephesians 2:2), able to cause destructive storms! And not only this, but also give his
followers secret knowledge how to do the same to their enemies.
Because the Sun-god was believed to have this power and would also give it to his
followers, if they were obedient, or would zap his enemies with his bolt, the pagans
worshipped their gods through fear. In Bible Truth, it is the goodness of God that turns an evil
person to worship Him (Romans 2:4). But in pagan belief, it was the anger of the Storm god,
his hatred for man, his unmerciful attributes, that made the pagans bow before him. Not
through love, but through fear. Their whole worship revolved around winning the evil one's
favor by pacifying him through sacrifice and appeasement.
The main features behind the pure demon worship of ancient Babylon can be seen today by
the open worship of the Yezidis of Kurdistan, Armenia, and the Caucasus. In their pagan
worship they believe it is "Melek Taus," who is the Devil, that was the co-creator of the world
[15]. Their religion today is the worship of both Good and Evil, or Christ and Satan. They
have adopted some heretical elements of Christianity, and some precepts of Islam. They
regard Jesus as an angel in human form and recognize Muhammad as a Prophet with
Abraham. They practice circumcision and baptism. Instead of Christ as the creative agent of
the Godhead (Ephesians 3:10), they regard the Devil as the creative agent of the Supreme
God, and seek even today to (appease) him as the author of evil. They also avoid mentioning
the name of the Devil in fear of offending him [16]. We will study another religious
movement that has the dualism of good and evil to be worshipped from today's Rock Era a
little later. This study should be particularly interesting for people who called themselves
Christians during the epidemic of the Beatle hysteria.
The Yezedis, like most pagans, believe their destinies are not determined by a good,
loving, kind and gentle God, but by the Evil One, who has no mercy, who delights in
destroying mankind. They believe that the good God will forgive no matter how they regard
him. But, it is the Evil One whose favor they must secure. He, as the destructive deity, must
be pacified by offering him sacrifice, penance, and worship.
Is this not similar to how multitudes who call themselves Christians are led to worship the
Lord of the Scriptures? Is it not pictured by erring priests and pastors that God is a vengeful
God, who is ever waiting to cast the unrepentant into a burning place of torment, or sent the
repentant to purgatory, so they may be tortured by fire until they suffer enough to be purified
for Heaven? Is it not screamed, dramatized and shouted to congregations about how gruesome
are the tortures of them who are now, so they say, in Hell, the burning place of torment?
There is hardly a Christian denomination that doesn't teach the doctrine of Life After Death
or Immortality of the Soul. But the Bible clearly states that no one lives on after death. "For
the living know that they shall die: But THE DEAD KNOW NOT ANYTHING, neither have
they any more a reward: for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred,
and their envy, is now perished: neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing
that is done under the sun." Ecclesiastes 9:5,6.
If the wicked are tormented in Hell Fire as taught by most Christian priests and pastors,
when the wicked die, would they not have some knowledge of the torment they are supposed
to be experiencing? "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might: For there is no
work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grove, whither thou goest." Ecclesiastes
9:10.
If the righteous go to Heaven after death as taught in most Christian churches, would they
not be praising the Lord? The Bible says: "The Dead Praise Not The Lord, Neither Any That
Go Down In Silence." Psalms 115:17.
If man goes to Heaven at death like most Christian churches tell their members, wouldn't
these righteous people have some thoughts or ideas where they are? The Bible says: "His
breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that VERY DAY HIS THOUGHTS PERISH."
Psalm 146:4.
Some go to the gravesites to talk to their dead friends or relatives, but the Bible says: "His
sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low but he perceiveth it not
of them." Job 14:21. "For in death there is NO REMEMBRANCE OF THEE, IN THE
GRAVE WHO SHALL GIVE THEE THANKS?" Psalms 6:5.
Jesus plainly stated that the dead are still in the graves at His Second Coming, not in
Heaven: "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, WHEN THE DEAD
SHALL HEAR THE VOICE OF THE SON OF GOD: AND THEY THAT HEAR SHALL
LIVE." ... "MARVEL NOT AT THIS: FOR THE HOUR IS COMING, IN WHICH ALL
THAT ARE IN THE GRAVES SHALL HEAR HIS VOICE, AND SHALL COME FORTH;
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation." John 5:25,28,29.
Both the wicked and the righteous are still in their graves. However, there is a Hell Fire
where the wicked will surely be destroyed. But this is still future. This hell fire comes from
Heaven, not from some secret place where the dead are now receiving their punishment. The
Devil is not in charge of some secret place called Hell that is under the earth where all the
wicked have been thrown. Nor does the Devil run around with his pitchfork, sticking and
burning the wicked both day and night. The fire will be from Heaven and will destroy the
wicked and also the Devil himself. Revelation 20.
Peter foretold Christ's Second Coming would be in fire: "The Lord is not slack concerning
his promise, as some men count slackness: but is longsuffering to us-word, not willing that
any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come
as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the
elements shall MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT, THE EARTH ALSO AND THE WORKS
THAT ARE THEREIN SHALL BE BURNED UP." 2.Peter 3:9, 10.
David foretold Christ's Second Coming 1,000 years before Jesus was born. In Psalm 50:3-
5, we read: "Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before Him,
and it shall be tempestuous round about Him. He shall call to the heavens from above, and to
the earth, that He may Judge His people. Gather my saints together unto me; those that have
made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
Paul also foretold that Jesus would be a consuming fire to those who have rejected the
Gospel. 2.Thessalonians 1:7-9, "And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord
Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall
be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of
His power." In Isaiah 29:6 we read: "Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with
THUNDER, AND WITH EARTHQUAKE, AND GREAT NOISE, WITH STORM AND
TEMPEST AND THE FLAME OF DEVOURING FIRE."
The doctrine of the wicked being thrown into ever burning fire cannot be found in either
the Old or New Testaments, but it is found on the pages of Sun worship. The Hell Fire Jesus
plainly described in Scripture has two time periods. There are two different times fire and
brimstone shall rain from Heaven. The first shall be at Christ's Second Coming. But the
consuming fire that finally destroys the Devil, his angels, and the wicked will not be until
after the 1,000 years described in Revelation 20:1-6, 9, 10. This is when the wicked will be
raised from the dead, and Satan will make a last effort to destroy the New Jerusalem: "And
they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the
beloved city; and fire CAME DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN, AND DEVOURED
THEM. AND THE DEVIL THAT DECEIVED THEM WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF
FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, WHERE THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE, AND
SHALL BE TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT FOR EVER AND EVER." Revelation 20:9,
10.
This whole earth is going to be covered with fire. Fire is a purifying agent. And it will be
fire that our Lord will use to purify the earth of its pollutions caused by Satan and man for
6,000 years.
In the book of Malachi we read the following: "For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn
as an oven: and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that
cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor
branch." Malachi 4:1.
The Lord destroyed everything in Noah's day by water; that was just a shadow of the earth
when it shall be covered by fire. Peter saw this was to come and said in 2.Peter 3:5,6, "For this
they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth
standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being
overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same
word are kept in store, reserved unto FIRE against the day of judgment and perdition of
ungodly men."
As stated before, there are two periods of this Hell Fire predicted by both the Old
Testament Prophets and by the New Testament Apostles. And, there are also to be two
resurrections. In Revelation 20:1-9, it plainly states the resurrection of the wicked and their
destruction will not happen until the 1,000-year millenium is over. "And I saw an angel come
down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he
laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a
thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon
him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled:
and after that he must be loosed a little season. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them,
and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither
his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they
lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." We will study more of this very important
doctrine later.
Now, among the first inhabitants of the earth, Lucifer's first lie was "YE SHALL NOT
SURELY DIE (Genesis 3:4)." And, this same LIE of the Devil has been used from Adam and
Eve's day to our present time today. Here lies the origin of the foundation of the falsehood of
immortal soul, reincarnation, all forms of Spiritualism, Astrology, Black Magic, Necromancy,
Purgatory and Hell, the burning place of torment. The whole system of the Mystery of
Iniquity is based on this lie of the Devil, "Life after Death." But the Bible is very clear:
"THOU SHALT SURELY DIE." Genesis 2:16, 17.
Man does not continue to live after death as most have been deceived into believing. "For
the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything." Ecclesiastes 9:5.
As stated before, the myths about "Life After Death" can be traced in the legends of
Nimrod who became the great god of the Assyrians and Babylonians [17]. At Nineveh,
Austen H. Layard, from the British Museum, uncovered the ancient city and discovered over
25,000 tablets describing the ancient history of the Assyrian Empire [18]. Layard found
inscriptions at Nineveh that said it was Ninus who built the city [10]. The word "Nineveh"
itself means "The Habitation of Ninus"[20]. But it has been discovered that the name Ninus
was just a deified name the early Assyrians called Nimrod, because the Bible itself says it was
Nimrod who built Nineveh (Genesis 10:11). Nimrod (Ninus) was said to have been killed,
according to the inscriptions, but his "spirit" became immortal and flew up to the Sun and he
became "Beelsamon," "Lord of Heaven"[21].
In all forms of witchcraft, as in all modern forms today, the doctrine of "Immortality of the
Soul" was the center of their whole pagan belief and worship. Pagans believed that when they
died they took possession of one of the stars in Heaven. The ignorant pagans, like multitudes
of Christians today, believe that the spirits of the dead are "ministering spirits, sent forth to
minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation." Hebrews 1:14.
If the reader has ever read into the history of any nation, the history of the people shows
that their whole culture was surrounded by the belief in "Life After Death," "Reincarnation,"
and communicating with the dead. Multitudes of pagan traditions, worldwide, have their
origin in the Legends of Nimrod.
The Babylonians taught that the fate of everything was dependent on the sky. The
Babylonians, as most ancient people, believed that each mortal, like the gods, had his own star
in the Sky [22]. Here we can begin to see why primitive men believed their chief gods
inhabited the planets and named the planets as the homes of their gods. Saturn (the Roman
god of crops) is believed to be the star-god Stephen said the ancient Israelites worshipped in
their apostasy under the name of Remphan [23]. "Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
and the Star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry
you away beyond Babylon." Acts 7:43, see also Amos 5:26.
This will also help us to understand the cosmic religion of Astrology, and how Astrology
ties in with Sun worship. Astrology was actually the origin of the pagan sciences and pagan
symbols. John, in the book of Revelation, was given this sacred number 666 of Astrology to
identify who this beast is (see Revelation 13:1-11, and 18) that Jesus warns not to be
identified with (Revelation 14:9,10).
In the ancient Babylonian astrological system, it is the Sun-god who is the ruler and main
god of the zodiac. And all the gods of heaven (the stars) were considered offspring of the sun.
According to pagan philosophy, all the star gods you have heard about in school were actually
manifestations of the heat, fire and light which flowed from the sun. It was believed that it
was the Sun-god who was the source of all things, and all the other gods were but emanations
of the sun, "flesh of his flesh." Therefore, all the manifestations of the gods of nature were just
manifestations of the one god, the Sun, whose worship by primitive man was in reality to
Satan. Even Lucifer's name means "Day Star," the "Illuminated One," or "Shining One"[24].
The Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Hindus and American Indians, like the
Babylonians, all believed that their gods were just representations of the one god. The ancient
people, shortly after the flood, had a knowledge of the True God of Noah, Shem, and
Abraham. But the worship of the True God of Noah, Shem, and Abraham soon became
perverted into idolatry by the larger population when Nimrod tried to unite the whole world
into a One World Government. And this anti-God movement shall be attempted by some
modern Nimrods in our time!
Both history and the Bible reveal that the greatest mystery to mankind has always been the
Universe. And Satan, the Prince of the Power of the Air, used man's curiosity about the
heavenly host to cause man to worship them instead of their Creator. "And the children of
Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and served Baalim (the Sun-god)." Judges 2:11.
The word Baalim is a term to describe the whole system of Sun worship. Augustine said in
his book, The City of God, that all the learned pagan doctors declared that all the chief gods of
the Greek-Roman world were 'one and the same love,' and that all the stars were part of love
and had rational souls [25]. All the chief gods of Greece and Rome were the same gods
worshipped in Babylonia, Assyria, Egypt, Persia, and North and South America [26]. Only the
names were different, like their languages and cultures were. It was from Babylon (Babel) that
Sun worship started. And, it is also where all ancient and modern nations today receive their
system of Astrology [27].
In pagan philosophy, the stars controlled the affairs of the human race. Hence, the science
of Astrology claims to interpret the will of the star gods. The chief star gods of the pagans
were the gods of Astrology, which were believed to be just emanations of the one god, the
Sun-God [28], the ruler of the Zodiac. Astrology is the foundation of all the pagan sciences of
the occult, whose author is Lucifer, and his spirit guides are his angels. Spiritualism, which is
just another name for Witchcraft, is today, among the young, the biggest rival of Jesus Christ.
It will be through Spiritualism that men and women will come with all manner of lying
wonders that will gather the whole world under Satan's banner. "Then if any man shall say
unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there, believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs and false
prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they
shall deceive the very elect." Matthew 24:23,24.
Spiritualism (Witchcraft) will deceive the whole world into accepting a strong delusion
that will bring Satan to finally use his crowning deception that will cause most to lose their
salvation. Lucifer, this Old Serpent, called the Devil, will personate Jesus Christ just before
the real Christ comes the Second Time. This will be Satan's last effort to destroy mankind.
However, students of the Bible, who have made Scripture their only standard to judge
between truth and error, will not be fooled into worshipping Satan as Christ. For the satanic
movement to unite the world under one banner and Christ walking upon this earth again is a
complete contradiction of Scripture. But to actually understand any of this, the reader must
not be ignorant of Satan's devices; so we need to examine what the Bible says Spiritualism or,
what Witchcraft is. This we will study in Part II of this Chapter.

Little do young Rock and Rollers know they are deceived by an unseen host of agents of
the Devil. The Bible warns it will be demons, using people as their instruments, that will lead
others into rejecting the True Christ. "For they are the spirits of DEVILS, working miracles,
which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle
of that great day of God Almighty." Revelation 16:14.
There is absolutely nothing romantic about Satan. He will give some power to work
miracles, but this is his way of deceiving. Just as God uses man to lead others to Him, so does
Satan. However, unlike God, once Satan has used a person for his own purposes, Satan will
cast away all whom he has used to deceive others, like a man casts away his trash into the
trash can. So to help a Bible student avoid falling into any of Satan's traps, one can learn from
the Scriptures and from those whom Satan has already used, how not to become another one
of his victims.
To start, we need to study again the first deception at the Garden of Eden. As we stated
before, the Devil uses camouflages to keep his worship hidden. The Sun and Nimrod were
only a front used by Lucifer to get multitudes to bow before him. However, the first
camouflage he used to deceive Adam and Eve was the serpent. The very thing Satan used to
deceive Adam and Eve became eventually one of the most sacred symbols of Sun worship!
Instead of the serpent as being a symbol of Satan and deception, as the Bible instructs, the
serpent became a symbol of the "Great Benefactor and Healer" of mankind. The serpent was
worshipped as the "God of Healing" and "Life-Restorer." "YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE,"
Genesis 3:3, was Lucifer's first lie to our first parents. The serpent, the god of healing, was
generally represented in the pagan arts entwined on a stick, staff or a stock of a tree [1]. Here
we find the origin of the strange symbol that the American Medical Association (AMA) uses
today. This medical insignia was originally the symbol of the Egyptian god Hermes, who we
will see in a moment was Nimrod's father, Cush. And it's here we find the origin of the word
hermetic. This ancient word found in classical literature actually derived from the ancient
Egyptian god of medicine. This name is actually Chaldean and the Greeks and Egyptians
adopted this god from the Babylonians. The very word hermetic means the hidden knowledge
of magic, occult sciences, etc [2]. Not only was the serpent worshipped by the ignorant pagans
as "The Great Benefactor" for mankind, the serpent ironically enough was worshipped also as
"The Great Enlightener." What did Satan say to Adam and Eve besides, "Ye shall not surely
die?" In Genesis 3:5 we read: "FOR GOD DOTH KNOW THAT IN THE DAY YE EAT
THEREOF THEN YOUR EYES SHALL BE OPENED, AND YE SHALL BE AS GODS,
KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL."
In The Two Babylons, by Hislop, p. 227, we read the following:
"Along with the sun, as the great fire-god, and, in due time, identified with him, was the
serpent worshipped. In the mythology of the primitive world, says Owen, 'the serpent is
universally the symbol of the sun. In Egypt, one of the commonest symbols of the sun, or sun
god, is a disc with a serpent around it. The original reason of that identification seems just to
have been that, as the sun was the great enlightener of the physical world, so the serpent was
held to have been the great enlightener of the spiritual, by giving mankind the 'Knowledge of
Good and Evil.' ' " The ancient Mayans of the Yucatan in Mexico worshipped the serpent god
under the name of Can. Can means "serpent" in the Mayan language, as Can or A-Can was the
ancient Sumerian and ancient Scottish word for serpent. Here we find the origin of our word
canny, shrewd or serpent-like. The Babylonians worshipped Can the serpent and Vul, the god
of fire. The Romans simply combined the two words into 'Vulcan," the Roman god of fire
from when also comes our word "volcano" [3]. This seems to be how the Mayans and
Mexicans named their gods. They too combined two words to describe their serpent god.
"Kulkul" means "beautiful bird," and "Can," serpent. Hence, "Kulkulcan," which means "Bird
Serpent" in the Mayan language. This is the exact same meaning for Quetzalcoatl, the
Mexican pagan messiah in central Mexico [4].
Interestingly enough, the cosmic symbol for Quetzalcoatl was a feathered serpent! Here is
another interesting observation. The origin of the word "Vatican" also derived from two
words. The Latin word "vatic" or "vatis" means "prophet or soothsayer" [5]. The combined
word, "Vatican," appears to mean "divination by the serpent"! The symbol for Astrology is
often shown in pagan arts as a serpent in a circular position with his tail in his mouth. This
represented eternal life.
There is the strong evidence from Scripture that the serpent originally had wings and flew,
instead of having legs as the evolutionists say. The Scriptures reveal it was a curse for the
serpent to travel on his belly as he does now. "And the Lord God said unto the serpent,
because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the
field: upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life." Genesis
3:14.
Hence, that feathered serpent that has been displayed in pagan arts and worshipped as the
god of healing, is none other but "that Old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world." Revelation 12:9.
While Satan changed the image of the serpent into something to be adored and worshipped,
the goat, from antiquity, symbolized the Devil. The goat, known for its agility, stubborn
character and having its own way, is what Astrologers say people are who are born under the
sign of Capricorn, the He-Goat. Witches in the Middle Ages were widely reputed to worship
the Devil in the form of a goat [6]. During the Middle Ages there was a widespread witch
panic that produced witch hunts and witch trials. Witches were often charged with poisonings
and other injuries as well as murder. The charge of murder might have been derived from
making a wax image of a hated person and consuming it over a slow fire or sticking it with
pins. African witchdoctors, Haitian experts in Voo-Doo, and American Indian medicine men
indulged in this Satanic Black Art. The Middle Ages witch trials record how multitudes of
witches confessed, under torture, that they held local meetings called covens to adore their
master, make plans to execute the diabolic will, and partake in bestial rites. In southern
Europe the site where the witches met was called a synagogue; in Germany it was called a
blocksberg [7]. These meetings usually took place at midnight. It was brought out during the
trials that witches claimed they came to their meetings by being carried by the Devil: others
were able to fly by anointing themselves with oils from the bodies of murdered infants; still
others rode broomsticks, or a cow or a goat. At the rendezvous Satan appeared as a black
animal, often a goat, or as a man with cloven feet [8]. There are many different sects in
modern witchcraft today; however, modern day witches do not believe that the Devil exists.
They are not Satanist old women with long black hair and a wart on their nose. A Christian
will be shocked to know that ancient Witchcraft has been revived and modernized among the
young people today. And, it is the religion of some of those who control the wealth of the
world! Their covens (churches) are today Federally recognized tax exempt churches, and
enjoy the same rights under the protection of the law as do the Christians. And, believe it or
not, there are millions of both male and female witches here in the United States alone.
Witchcraft is the biggest rival religion of Christianity in England and America [9].
It is interesting enough, however, that these modern witches exalt the horn gods and the
pagan goddesses such as the Egyptian pagan trinity Osiris, Isis, Horus, which originated in the
worship of Nimrod (the Sun), his wife Semiramis (the moon), and Tammuz (the Morning
Star).
Like their pagan brethren, modern day witches are ignorant to the fact that these gods do
not exist. Even though they claim the Devil does not exist, they too are in reality bowing their
knee before him. They exalt the gods Satan hid behind to deceive the ancient nations. Pan or
Bacchus is another god the witches exalt and worship. It depends on what coven they belong
to. Anyway, how was this ancient pagan god displayed in pagan art? He had a man's head with
horns and cloven feet!
Now witchcraft, as stated before, has been modernized. Modern day witches who worship
the gods of cosmic forces claim now to work magic and cast spells for the general good of the
community. This kind of witchcraft is called white magic. Those who practice casting spells
that injure people practice what is known as Black Magic.
However, most of these modern day witches claim to be good witches as in The Wizard of
Oz, and unlike medieval witchcraft that made an image out of wax to stick pins in it so the
person the wax image looked like would die, these modern day witches claim now that this
wax image is used to heal people. This revised and modern form of witchcraft is called today
Wicca, which is the feminine form of an Old English word, "Wicce," meaning -- "Witch" [10].
The main feature of Wicca is, however, nature worship. Just as the ancient Baal worshippers
in Babylonia believed it was the cosmic Star gods that were responsible for pouring out the
rain from Heaven and caused fertility among the plants and mankind, so do these ignorant
people in these modern witch covens teach their little ones these things.
The word Baal, so often seen throughout the Old Testament, was used to describe a god.
The word means "Lord" or "Master" [11] and in the Bible it was the name for the Sun-god.
Now, kings of pagan nations often were considered the incarnation of the Sun-god, and to
identify with the Sun-god the kings would adopt the name of his god as Jezebel's father did in
1.Kings 16:31. His name was "Ethbaal" which means "with Baal" or "Baal's man" [12].
Just as ancient Sun-kings pretended to be the ancient incarnation of the Sun-god, so does
modern witchcraft teach that the High Priest is the personification of the horned god Pan, or
Osiris. And, the High Priestess of these covens, like ancient Sun worship, is the
personification of Isis, Diana, or one of the other names this pagan goddess has throughout the
world. Baal worship was basically a fertility cult that taught its followers that the Sun-god and
Moon-goddess controlled the seasons, brought fertility, etc. Here we find the origin of the
beliefs of Wicca.
Witches, ancient and modern, take off their clothes during their meetings as a symbol of
freedom, and so the power they say they receive from their gods can freely flow from their
bodies. A circle is drawn to contain and concentrate the power the witches claim to receive
through lewd dancing and chanting. On nights of the full moon and other festivals, the High
Priest of witchcraft performs a ritual known as "Drawing Down the Moon." This is taught to
new members to explain how the High Priestess becomes the incarnation of the Moongoddess
[13].
Witches believe that the build-up of power is achieved much more readily when the
participants are naked, and when a certain sexual tension is present. When these witches reach
the power they want charged in their atmosphere, they begin to cast their spells. They claim
the spells should always be for the good; an evil spell, they say, rebounds threefold upon the
head of its creator. After their spells are cast, the witches settle down to a ceremony that is
similar to the holy communion held for the Egyptian god Osiris. However, instead of a round
disk wafer that was an Egyptian symbol of the sun, some modern day witches make cakes in
the shape of a five pointed star called the Pentagram. This to the occultist is one of the most
powerful weapons in magic. The Pentagram symbolism is based on that of the number five
which according to Astrology, stands for the living world of nature, such as Air, Fire, Water,
Earth, and the Spirit of their god and pagan goddess who used the elements, according to
witchcraft, to create the Universe.
The number five in Astrology also represents the four directions and the center, for the five
senses (smell, taste, sight, touch and hearing).
Witchcraft, like all forms of Spiritualism, teaches man is a microcosm (miniature
universe); man is the ruler of nature, and as the miniature image, the potential master of all
things [14]. So, the Pentagram (five pointed star) with one of its points projecting upwards is
imagined in Witchcraft as a man's body with arms and legs extended, and is a symbol of the
dominance of the divine spirit. It is used as a magical weapon for invoking good influences
and keeps the evil spirits at bay, say those who practice white magic.
Many of our youth reject the religion of the Bible, and now worship the created things
instead of the Creator through this new modern form of Witchcraft because Witchcraft today
is attractive and has taken on a brighter look. Instead of the satanic evil looking people of the
Middle Ages, the witches of today have been, for the past century, portrayed as good people,
who fight against the evil forces of this world, such as "Wonder Woman," with her sign of
white magic (the Pentagram) displayed on her forehead. But to distinguish the bad witches
from the good witches, say the occultists, a reversed Pentagram with two points upward is a
symbol of Black Magic, and of those who do worship the Devil. The two points of the star
pointed upwards suggests the horns of the Devil symbolized as a goat attacking the Heavens
with his horns [15]. This five pointed star which has two points upward was, and is today,
worn as an amulet by open Devil worshippers, and by many modern day magicians and
wizards. Originally this evil sign was worn to show Satan that they had chosen him as their
leader [16].
Is this not chilling and frightening to know that multitudes of women of high fashion may
not be aware that when they wear that little gold chain around their neck, with this five
pointed star with two points upward, they are showing they have chosen the Devil's side, and
seek his protection? Is it not chilling to know that they who call themselves Freemasons, and
the ladies who call themselves "The Order of the Eastern Star" display this evil sign in their
lodges? We will study even more shocking truths about the origin and purpose of these Secret
Societies in the next chapter.
As stated earlier, there are many sects of modern witchcraft today, and many variations
found in their rituals. In some covens the cakes they use in their communion are made into the
shape of a crescent, which is the symbol of the Moon-goddess. These cakes, by the way, are
made of salt, honey, wine, meal, oil and, in some covens, blood. They are eaten in honour of
the Egyptian god Horus [17] or whatever god the coven exalts.
In ancient witchcraft the cakes were round with a cross drawn on them that represented the
first letter of the name of the ancient dead and risen pagan messiah "Tammuz," who was the
incarnation of the Sun-god and the son of the Moon-goddess (the Queen of Heaven). Even the
Israelites, when they turned from the worship of our Creator made these same cakes that
honoured the pagan queen of Heaven and her god-child Tammuz. In Jeremiah 7:18 our Lord
condemned this ancient ritual in the worship of these cosmic gods. "The children gather wood,
and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen
of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to
anger."
Today, the Roman Catholic Church dedicates these same cakes to the Virgin Mary whom
they ironically call the Queen of Heaven [18]. These cakes are called by Roman Catholic "Hot
Cross Buns" [19]. The name of this pagan goddess the Israelites worshipped and dedicated
these cakes to is found in Judges 2:13. Her name to the Israelites was Ashtaroth. To the early
Romans her name was Venus, the goddess of love.
Witchcraft is just another word for Spiritualism, but the modern word used to cover-up the
evil name of Witchcraft so it may be taught in Colleges is "Parapsychology." Now, to
understand this other abomination found in both ancient and modern Witchcraft, the reader
must understand that it was the Sun-god and Moon-goddess who created the whole Universe,
according to these witches. To honour this pagan belief, a ritual called "The Great Rite" is
strictly observed among these socalled "good" witches. Since the High Priest in a coven is
believed to be the incarnation of Pan, the Sun-god, and the High Priestess is the incarnation of
the Queen of Heaven, the Moon-goddess, these two mimic the myth in the creation of the
Universe by the Sun-god and the Moon-goddess when they perform "The Great Rite" ritual,
which is engaging in sacred prostitution.
This is justified by the witches on the grounds of fertility, because after all, they say, Wicca
is a fertility cult [20].
To try to understand any of this perversion so you can teach others how to avoid it, the
reader simply needs to realize that this abominable practice of sacred prostitution found today
in modern witchcraft is nothing new. All ancient heathen worship of the Sun-gods had within
its philosophies Phallicism. What is Phallicism? It is the veneration and worship of male and
female sex organs. The union of male and female organs is symbolized in witchcraft as a point
within a circle, and also as two triangles uniting to make a "Hexagram" [21] better known
today as the "Star of David." The truth is, King David of Israel never carried this emblem that
is now the symbol of Israel. This emblem was adopted from witchcraft by some Jewish priests
who had explored deep into the Babylonian religion during their captivity in Babylon. From
here sprang witchcraft in another garb called the Cabala.
The Mexican Indian, centuries before seeing a white man, had the Hexagram as the symbol
of their phallic worship of the cosmic gods. Often the Hexagram is displayed as a symbol of
the 7 planets that serpentine their way through the Zodiac. The Sun in the center is displayed
in a circle with a point in its center.
Usually before these modern day witches partake of the cake and wine to honour Horus or
Pan, as we examined in part one of this chapter, a ceremony for any new initiates into their
coven is performed. This involved blinding, binding, and whipping new members for the
purpose of purification. However, this ceremony is not as brutal as in medieval covens; they
are good witches, so the whip they use now is said to be of embroidered silk. However, those
present with sadomasochistic tendencies might be satisfied. The following five-fold kiss
bestowed by the High Priest or Priestess on the feet, knees, genitals, breasts and lips of a new
member speaks for itself [22].
In Man, Myth and Magic, An Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Supernatural, Vol. 14, p.
1867, Cavendish, we read the following:
"Only three pieces of magic can be performed at each meeting, they claim, and the spells
should always be for the good; an evil spell rebounds threefold upon the head of its creator.
Sometimes the spell is cast telepathically: for instance, in the case of a spell cast to cure a
person of a bad leg the witches would stand silently and 'will' the leg to heal. On other
occasions they might use a doll, or 'fith-fath,' to represent the sick person - bathe the doll's leg
with a healing potion, or the high priestess might 'bind' the spell, wrapping her girdle around
the blade of her athame in a special way."
How popular has this modern witchcraft become? In the September 12th, 1982 Arkansas
Democrat "Family Weekly," Georgia Frontiere appeared on the front page. Georgia inherited
the Los Angeles Rams when her late (sixth) husband drowned in the riptides off the Florida
coast in April 1979. He was 72. But what we really are interested in bringing to your attention
is her openness about being able, says she, to talk to her dead husband's spirit, and how she
dabbles in the occult. On page 11 of the Sept. 12 issue we read the following: "Georgia gives
Nolan Cromwell on unasked for raise ... and Georgia, who dabbles in the occult (she says
she's talked to Carroll's spirit), mysteriously waves a hand at half-time over Haden's injured
leg, which is believed to be broken.
'I thought for sure she was nuts,' Haden says. 'Then, incredibly, after the doctors told me
they were sure it was broken, the X-rays were negative.' "
Why are more and more people coming out publicly and admitting to be connected with
Spiritualism? About 25 years ago they would be afraid to make such statements for fear of
public ridicule and harm. However, most Christians never heard of the Fraudulent Mediums
Act of 1951 which only applies to those who obtain money from the public under the pretext
of possessing supernatural power.

In the last book of the Bible, Jesus Christ gives His Last warning before He returns the
second time. This Last Day warning is found in chapters 13, 14, 16, 17 & 18 of the Book of
Revelation. Jesus warns His people about how the whole world will be deceived into
worshipping Satan, symbolized as the Seven Headed Dragon attacking a woman, a symbol of
the True Faith.
In Revelation 13:4, 8, 9 Jesus' prediction about the worship of Satan throughout this world
may be read: "And they WORSHIPPED THE DRAGON which gave power unto the beast:
and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war
with him? ... And all that dwell upon the earth SHALL WORSHIP HIM, WHOSE NAMES
ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE OF THE LAMB SLAIN FROM THE
FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. If any man have an ear, let him hear."
The Apostle John wrote: "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that
antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last
time." 1.John 2:18.
The Apostle Paul warned: "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not
come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped: so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."
2.Thessalonians 2:3,4. There are various ways our Lord has made known to His followers
how to detect Satan who is the invisible head of a partly religious and partly political
movement. Revelation 13:18 warns it would be branded with the number 666. In Revelation
17:5 our Lord describes this satanic movement that is antichrist in a symbol of a lewd
beautiful woman. And upon her forehead was a name written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE
GREAT, MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
The very last warning our Lord is now giving the deceived world is found in Revelation
18:4. "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE,
THAT YE BE NOT PARTAKERS OF HER SINS, AND THAT YE RECEIVE NOT OF
HER PLAGUES."
There are three distinct messages symbolized as three angels in Revelation 14. Revelation
14:6, 7 is calling the world away from the worship of the Dragon, to worship God who created
the heaven, earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. In Revelation 14:8 it tells how
Babylon the Great is fallen and how she has made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath
of her fornication. However, in Revelation 14:9,10 we read the most solemn warning ever
given to the world, of which most are completely ignorant. Satan is hardly ever mentioned in
many Christian circles, much less how he is predicted in Scripture to lead most to lose their
salvation.
"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast
and his image, and receive his MARK in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of
the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his
indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy
angels, and in the presence of the Lamb." Revelation 14:9,10.
God reveals that all nations have already been deceived by "Babylon the Great, The
Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth." And our Lord is calling His people out of
Babylon. But, the question to most is, what is Babylon? This is the whole purpose of this
book. It is to lay wide open for all to see what the sins of Babylon the Great are, and who she
is, and who this mysterious scarlet colored beast is that she is riding on, as described in
Revelation 17:1-8.
While we study the history and the nature of "Babylon the Great (and of the Beast that is
carrying her)," we will learn that there was, is, and always shall be in this world, avowed
worshippers of Lucifer. Some will be shocked to learn that Luciferians have lived and died in
promoting the worship of Lucifer through Babylonian, Egyptian and Druid Witchcraft, and
are determined to overthrow all religions and governments. Their goal is to unite the world
into a One World Government, and exalt Lucifer as the only god of this world!
As we continue to study the nature of "Babylon the Great," we will study the philosophies
of "Wicca" Wicca is the modern version of Babylonian, Egyptian, and Druid Witchcraft with
millions of both male and female members. We will learn how apostles of Lucifer in the past
and present are using Secret Societies, Communism, International Banking, Christian fronts,
social issues to further their plans. We will learn how these modern day witches are ever
determined to overthrow the worship of Jesus Christ and Christianity by using subliminal
warfare (Mind Sciences), and physical force. This Luciferian plot to destroy all religions and
all governments, so that a One World Luciferian Government may be established, is coming
today, in what is known as "The Aquarian Age," or "The New Age Movement." In Latin it is
called Novus Ordo Seclorum (New Order for the Ages). But its real, concealed name is The
Illuminati. And, it will be shown that it was from the Secret Order of The Illuminati, that
Communism was derived!
We will study the origin of the number 666, and who today is branded with it. We will
study the Mark of the Beast with whom no true follower of Jesus will identify. We will take a
journey through documentive history starting with Lucifer's rebellion in Heaven, and continue
to expose through history how Lucifer was worshipped, both ignorantly and openly, through
the astrological systems of Sun worship. After the camouflages have been removed from
paganism that reveal it was in reality Satan who was worshipped as the Sun-god, then we shall
remove all the camouflages Lucifer is hiding behind today, through false systems of
Christianity, and through an international political movement for a One World Government.
These two symbols, "Babylon the Great" and the Beast that ascendeth out of the
Bottomless Pit, will be carefully studied and understood later on in the book. However, before
the ordinary reader can comprehend any of these things, we must go back into history to the
time of Adam and Eve, and to the time of Noah and Nimrod.
The origin of lies traces to Lucifer (Genesis 3:4). And the origin of false religion also
began with Lucifer. In Isaiah 14:12-15 we read:
"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down
to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend
into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds: I will be
like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell to the sides of the pit."
It has been Lucifer's plan from ancient times to gradually unite this entire world into a One
World Government that would reject its Creator and worship Lucifer instead.
Lucifer before his fall was the most exalted angel next to Christ. The "son of the morning"
stood in the presence of God with Christ. He was the covering Cherub, the lightbearer for
God. However, Lucifer began to think of himself as equal in splendor and wisdom to God. He
began to think he also deserved worship from the Lord's servants, and began to plot against
the Lord of Heaven. Lucifer, the covering Cherub, did set his face to overthrow the worship of
God. Lucifer did not at once reveal his covetousness. If he had exposed all of his plans to the
Universe, where sin and rebellion at that time were not known, he would not have gained
much following. Lucifer's plot to overthrow the government of Heaven would take long and
careful planning. Little by little, Lucifer began to find others whose sympathy he could gain
by criticizing how the Lord managed the affairs of the Universe. Lucifer tried to make the
God of Love, the Lord of the Sabbath, appear to be a selfish tyrant. Lucifer, assuming the
guise of godliness, led many Heavenly Beings to come over to his side by misrepresenting
God's character, as if God Himself were the Evil One.
Lucifer sowed seeds of murmuring, complaining and strife which germinated into
rebellion, and caused divisions among the angels of Heaven. Lucifer tried to weaken the unity
of Heaven, thinking this would weaken the power of the Almighty. However, only one third
of the Heavenly host chose the side of the god of confusion. The whole Universe chose only
two sides; there was no middle ground. There was war in Heaven between Christ and Lucifer.
"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world: He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with
him." Revelation 12:9.
The very plans Lucifer tried to execute in Heaven, he is now conditioning the people of the
world to accept. Just as Satan, or Lucifer, concealed his real plans from the angels in Heaven
in the beginning to overthrow the worship of God, so is Lucifer trying today to overthrow the
True worship of God among the inhabitants of this world. Just as Satan did not suddenly
expose his real plans that would have demanded the worship of him by Heavenly Beings, so
has Satan camouflaged the worship of himself among earthly beings, through a world-wide
network of gods and goddesses, and later through false systems of Christianity.
Sun worship was the greatest rival religion of the worship of Jehovah in the Old
Testament. It was through Sun worship that the worship of Lucifer was camouflaged
throughout this world. Those who obeyed the pagan precepts were actually bowing their knee
before the Devil, not gods as they thought. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves
servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of
obedience unto righteousness?" Romans 6:16.
As the angels of Heaven chose sides before Lucifer was cast out of heaven, so will the
people of this world join into two distinct groups before the end of this age. The line of
distinction, which will be studied in detail in the closing chapter, will be drawn by the Mark of
the Beast foretold in Revelation 13: 11-18 and 14:6-13.
The Luciferian plot to overthrow the worship of Jesus has always worked in secret, using
camouflages to remain hidden. It has not come upon the world suddenly, but little by little.
Likewise, we must also trace this history of the great Luciferian Conspiracy little by little. We
will expose how primitive man was deceived into worshipping Lucifer, then bring the reader
down through the centuries and show how Lucifer is being worshipped in these modern
1990's.
To begin this study, let's take a closer look at the name "Lucifer" itself. The name
"Lucifer" in Latin means "Light-Bearer" and may also mean the planet Venus, which is the
"morning star at dawn"[2]. In Greek mythology, Lucifer was personified as a male figure
bearing a torch[3]. Hence, we have the origin of the Light-Bearer of the Olympic Games. The
Greek transliteration of the name of this incarnation of Lucifer in the myth was Teitan. In
middle English his name was Titan, which also meant "Sungod"[4]. .A distorted record of the
rebellion of Lucifer and that of the rebel giant Nimrod has been preserved in Greek
mythology. Titan (Teitan), the personification of Lucifer, was the ancestor of a race of giant
humans here on earth who were overthrown by the Olympian gods[6]. Hence, the word titan
today means "one gigantic in size or power." And, the word titanism today in our language
means "spirit of rebellion; or a defiance of and revolt against the established order or
authority"[6].
As Lucifer was the chief leader that led the angelic host to rebel against God, so did
Nimrod cause the early descendants of Noah to rebel against God. Flavius Josephus, the
ancient Jewish historian, wrote about Nimrod and how he seduced the people of his day to
rebel against God, and was first to teach the arts of masonry, while building the "Tower of
Babel." From the book "The Complete Works of Flavius Josephus", we read the following:
" ... Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was
the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He
persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it was through his means they were happy, but to
believe that it was their own courage which produced that happiness. He also gradually
changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from fear of God,
but to bring them into a constant dependence on his own power. He also said he would be
revenged on God, if he would have a mind to drown the world again, for that he would build a
tower too high for the waters to be able to reach! And that he would avenge himself on God
for destroying their forefathers!
"Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem
it a piece of cowardice to submit to God; and they built a tower, neither sparing any pains, nor
being in any degree negligent about the work. And by reason of the multitude of hands
employed in it, it grew very high, sooner than any one could expect; but the thickness of it
was so great, and it was so strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed, upon the view,
to be less than it really was." (The Complete Works of Flavius Josephus, Whiston, Kregel
Publications, 1960, 1978, p.30.)
Nimrod tried to unite the whole known world of his day into a One World Government that
would be anti-God or Antichrist. But God wanted the sons of Noah to eventually replenish the
earth by traveling abroad the earth and settling in colonies. This would have kept in check the
wickedness that has always derived out of the cities. In the beginning, it was not intended that
man be crowded together in large cities. This tower of Babel, the building of which Nimrod
supervised, was to have two great significances. The city of Babel would become the
metropolis of the world and unite its inhabitants under the dictatorial rule of Nimrod. And its
tower was to be a monument to man to stand as a symbol of the wisdom of its builders. By
building the city of Babel, Nimrod hoped to prevent the people from scattering abroad into
colonies as the Lord intended. While in the midst of this building, when the tower reached an
height that it could today be called "skyscraper," our Lord came against it. In Genesis 11:3-9
we read: "And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.
And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said, Go to, let us build
us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be
scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city
and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is
one, and they have one language; and this they began to do: and now nothing will be
restrained from them which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there
confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord
scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the
city. Therefore is the name of it Babel (confusion); because the Lord did there confound the
language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of
all the earth."
Nimrod, who also built Nineveh, was worshipped by its early inhabitants under his deified
name "Ninus." He was first to incite people to war with their neighbors after the confusion of
tongues had scattered the early descendants of Noah over the earth. Trogus Pompeius, who
wrote of Ninus, states that the first King of Nineveh caused the people to war against
themselves. Alexander Hislop compiled this statement written by Trogus Pompeius, the
ancient historian, in his book The Two Babylons, p. 23:
" 'Ninus, king of Assyrians,' says Trogus Pompeius epitomized by Justin, 'first of all
changed the contented moderation of the ancient manners, incited by a new passion, the desire
of conquest. He was the first who carried on war against his neighbours and he conquered all
nations from Assyria to Lybia, as they were yet unacquainted with the arts of war.'"
Hislop goes on to quote another ancient historian named Diodorus Siculus and shows how
Trogus Pompeius and Siculus both agree with each other.
" 'Ninus, the most ancient of the Assyrian kings mentioned in history, performed great
actions. Being naturally of a warlike disposition, and ambitious of glory that results from
valeur, he armed a considerable number of young men that were brave and vigorous like
himself, trained them up a long time in laborious exercises and hardships, and by that means
accustomed them to bear the fatigues of war, and to face dangers with intrepidity.' " Loizeaux
Brothers, Neptune, NJ, 1916.
Hence, Nimrod (Ninus) was celebrated at Nineveh, which he built, as a War-god, and his
epics as a hunter, a warrior, and his death were later imitated in the Assyrian, Babylonian,
Egyptian, Greek, Roman and American Indian Mysteries. His Egyptian name was Osiris[7].
To the Romans, he was also worshipped as Mars (which means "The Rebel"), from which our
name March was derived. He was Zernebogus to the Anglo-Saxon, which means: "The Seed
of the Prophet Cush"[8]. But, Nimrod's ancient Babel name was Merodach, which means "To
Be Bold, or Rebel"[9]. So here we find the real meaning of these two gods found in Scripture:
"Bel (The Confounder) is confounded, Merodach (The Rebel) is broken in pieces Jeremiah
50:2)." We will study more of the origin of the name "Bel" later.
In the Babylonian myth of Tammuz, or Thammuz (the equivalent to the Egyptian god
Osiris, who actually was Nimrod, the ringleader in the great apostasy against our Lord, was
ordered to be killed by a certain king. The reason given for his death was that Tammuz, the
incarnation of the Sun-god, tried to promote the worship of Astrology to this certain king.
However, this king ordered him to be put to death. Maimonides, another ancient historian, had
read deeply into the learning of the Chaldeans. He describes this myth, quoted by Hislop in
The Two Babylons, p. 62:
"When the false prophet named Thammuz preached to a certain king that he should
worship the seven stars and the twelve signs of the Zodiac, that king ordered him to be put to
a terrible death. On the night of his death all the images assembled from the ends of the earth
into the temple of Babylon, to the great golden image of the Sun, which was suspended
between heaven and earth. That image prostrated itself in the midst of the temple, and so did
all the images around it, while it related to them all that had happened to Thammuz. The
images wept and lamented all the night long, and then in the morning they flew away, each to
his own temple again, to the ends of the earth. And hence arose the custom every year on the
first day of the month of Thammuz to mourn and to weep for Thammuz."
Now, in the worship of the Sun-god among the Mexicans, they believed that for the Sungod to bestow life on the world, he needed also to receive life from it [10]. To show the reader
the murderous character of Satan displayed in people, and what human beings can be led to do
by his false religious spirit, we will explore some of the reasons behind the rites of human
sacrifices.
To the ancient Mexicans, the heart was the seat and symbol of life, and bleeding hearts of
men and animals were presented to the Sun-god to maintain him in vigor and enable him to
run his course across the sky [11].
Now, when the Israelites turned their backs from worshipping the Lord, they adopted the
worship of the pagan gods from their neighbors. And they too were led by pagan high priests
to sacrifice human beings. "They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor and ate the sacrifices
of the dead. Thus they provoked the Lord to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake
in upon them. And they served their idols which were a snare unto them. Yea, they sacrificed
their sons and their daughters unto DEVILS and shed innocent blood, even the blood of their
sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was
polluted with blood." Psalms 106:28, 29, 36-38.
The ignorant Israelites were not sacrificing their children to gods, as they thought, but unto
devils. Paul, over 1000 years later, said the sacrifices of the Gentiles which the Israelites
adopted were actually "Sacrifices to Devils." "But I say, that the things which the Gentiles
sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have
fellowship with devils." 1.Corinthians 10:20.
As history has documented, that greatest object in pagan worship was the sun, who was
symbolized all over the world as a heavenly bull [12]. The pagans displayed the cosmic god in
their arts as a bull standing on its hind legs with a tail, hoofs and horns, with a man's head and
arms, with a threeprong pitchfork in his hand. So the ancient cosmic symbol of the Sun-god,
with hoofs, a tail, horns and a pitchfork, is where we today get our symbol for Satan as having
hoofs, a tail, and horns, with a pitchfork in his hand.
In pagan philosophy, lightning was the manifestation of their god's wrath and an agent of
his punishment. The thunder was the voice of his warnings [13]. In ancient Greece, thunder
and lightning were believed by the worshippers of Zeus to be manifestations of his presence.
Any spot struck by lightning became sacred. The very name "Zeus" (skt. dyaus, "The Bright
Sky") identifies him as the god of the sky and its phenomena [14]. In Rome he was
worshipped as Jupiter, in Scandinavia, Thor, and in Canaan, Baal, the Storm god.
Lightning from the sky separates into branches; hence, the lightning bolt found in the hand
of the supreme god of the sky was stylized into a pitchfork. This was a symbol for his power,
as he who controls the lightning bolt.
Besides Satan's personation of Christ just before Jesus' Second Coming, what other power
of God is the second beast of Revelation 13:11-17 going to counterfeit through lying
wonders? "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the
earth in the sight of men." And this is still future.
The prince of the power of the air is also the prince of darkness. Just as the pagan was
deceived by Satan in ancient times, so is the Christian in modern times. And, if man can learn
how to bring electricity down from the sky and harness its energy, how much more could
Satan, a supernatural being, who is even called in the Bible "The Prince of the Power of the
Air" (Ephesians 2:2), able to cause destructive storms! And not only this, but also give his
followers secret knowledge how to do the same to their enemies.
Because the Sun-god was believed to have this power and would also give it to his
followers, if they were obedient, or would zap his enemies with his bolt, the pagans
worshipped their gods through fear. In Bible Truth, it is the goodness of God that turns an evil
person to worship Him (Romans 2:4). But in pagan belief, it was the anger of the Storm god,
his hatred for man, his unmerciful attributes, that made the pagans bow before him. Not
through love, but through fear. Their whole worship revolved around winning the evil one's
favor by pacifying him through sacrifice and appeasement.
The main features behind the pure demon worship of ancient Babylon can be seen today by
the open worship of the Yezidis of Kurdistan, Armenia, and the Caucasus. In their pagan
worship they believe it is "Melek Taus," who is the Devil, that was the co-creator of the world
[15]. Their religion today is the worship of both Good and Evil, or Christ and Satan. They
have adopted some heretical elements of Christianity, and some precepts of Islam. They
regard Jesus as an angel in human form and recognize Muhammad as a Prophet with
Abraham. They practice circumcision and baptism. Instead of Christ as the creative agent of
the Godhead (Ephesians 3:10), they regard the Devil as the creative agent of the Supreme
God, and seek even today to (appease) him as the author of evil. They also avoid mentioning
the name of the Devil in fear of offending him [16]. We will study another religious
movement that has the dualism of good and evil to be worshipped from today's Rock Era a
little later. This study should be particularly interesting for people who called themselves
Christians during the epidemic of the Beatle hysteria.
The Yezedis, like most pagans, believe their destinies are not determined by a good,
loving, kind and gentle God, but by the Evil One, who has no mercy, who delights in
destroying mankind. They believe that the good God will forgive no matter how they regard
him. But, it is the Evil One whose favor they must secure. He, as the destructive deity, must
be pacified by offering him sacrifice, penance, and worship.
Is this not similar to how multitudes who call themselves Christians are led to worship the
Lord of the Scriptures? Is it not pictured by erring priests and pastors that God is a vengeful
God, who is ever waiting to cast the unrepentant into a burning place of torment, or sent the
repentant to purgatory, so they may be tortured by fire until they suffer enough to be purified
for Heaven? Is it not screamed, dramatized and shouted to congregations about how gruesome
are the tortures of them who are now, so they say, in Hell, the burning place of torment?
There is hardly a Christian denomination that doesn't teach the doctrine of Life After Death
or Immortality of the Soul. But the Bible clearly states that no one lives on after death. "For
the living know that they shall die: But THE DEAD KNOW NOT ANYTHING, neither have
they any more a reward: for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred,
and their envy, is now perished: neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing
that is done under the sun." Ecclesiastes 9:5,6.
If the wicked are tormented in Hell Fire as taught by most Christian priests and pastors,
when the wicked die, would they not have some knowledge of the torment they are supposed
to be experiencing? "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might: For there is no
work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grove, whither thou goest." Ecclesiastes
9:10.
If the righteous go to Heaven after death as taught in most Christian churches, would they
not be praising the Lord? The Bible says: "The Dead Praise Not The Lord, Neither Any That
Go Down In Silence." Psalms 115:17.
If man goes to Heaven at death like most Christian churches tell their members, wouldn't
these righteous people have some thoughts or ideas where they are? The Bible says: "His
breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that VERY DAY HIS THOUGHTS PERISH."
Psalm 146:4.
Some go to the gravesites to talk to their dead friends or relatives, but the Bible says: "His
sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low but he perceiveth it not
of them." Job 14:21. "For in death there is NO REMEMBRANCE OF THEE, IN THE
GRAVE WHO SHALL GIVE THEE THANKS?" Psalms 6:5.
Jesus plainly stated that the dead are still in the graves at His Second Coming, not in
Heaven: "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, WHEN THE DEAD
SHALL HEAR THE VOICE OF THE SON OF GOD: AND THEY THAT HEAR SHALL
LIVE." ... "MARVEL NOT AT THIS: FOR THE HOUR IS COMING, IN WHICH ALL
THAT ARE IN THE GRAVES SHALL HEAR HIS VOICE, AND SHALL COME FORTH;
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation." John 5:25,28,29.
Both the wicked and the righteous are still in their graves. However, there is a Hell Fire
where the wicked will surely be destroyed. But this is still future. This hell fire comes from
Heaven, not from some secret place where the dead are now receiving their punishment. The
Devil is not in charge of some secret place called Hell that is under the earth where all the
wicked have been thrown. Nor does the Devil run around with his pitchfork, sticking and
burning the wicked both day and night. The fire will be from Heaven and will destroy the
wicked and also the Devil himself. Revelation 20.
Peter foretold Christ's Second Coming would be in fire: "The Lord is not slack concerning
his promise, as some men count slackness: but is longsuffering to us-word, not willing that
any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come
as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the
elements shall MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT, THE EARTH ALSO AND THE WORKS
THAT ARE THEREIN SHALL BE BURNED UP." 2.Peter 3:9, 10.
David foretold Christ's Second Coming 1,000 years before Jesus was born. In Psalm 50:3-
5, we read: "Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before Him,
and it shall be tempestuous round about Him. He shall call to the heavens from above, and to
the earth, that He may Judge His people. Gather my saints together unto me; those that have
made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
Paul also foretold that Jesus would be a consuming fire to those who have rejected the
Gospel. 2.Thessalonians 1:7-9, "And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord
Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall
be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of
His power." In Isaiah 29:6 we read: "Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with
THUNDER, AND WITH EARTHQUAKE, AND GREAT NOISE, WITH STORM AND
TEMPEST AND THE FLAME OF DEVOURING FIRE."
The doctrine of the wicked being thrown into ever burning fire cannot be found in either
the Old or New Testaments, but it is found on the pages of Sun worship. The Hell Fire Jesus
plainly described in Scripture has two time periods. There are two different times fire and
brimstone shall rain from Heaven. The first shall be at Christ's Second Coming. But the
consuming fire that finally destroys the Devil, his angels, and the wicked will not be until
after the 1,000 years described in Revelation 20:1-6, 9, 10. This is when the wicked will be
raised from the dead, and Satan will make a last effort to destroy the New Jerusalem: "And
they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the
beloved city; and fire CAME DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN, AND DEVOURED
THEM. AND THE DEVIL THAT DECEIVED THEM WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF
FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, WHERE THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE, AND
SHALL BE TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT FOR EVER AND EVER." Revelation 20:9,
10.
This whole earth is going to be covered with fire. Fire is a purifying agent. And it will be
fire that our Lord will use to purify the earth of its pollutions caused by Satan and man for
6,000 years.
In the book of Malachi we read the following: "For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn
as an oven: and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that
cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor
branch." Malachi 4:1.
The Lord destroyed everything in Noah's day by water; that was just a shadow of the earth
when it shall be covered by fire. Peter saw this was to come and said in 2.Peter 3:5,6, "For this
they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth
standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being
overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same
word are kept in store, reserved unto FIRE against the day of judgment and perdition of
ungodly men."
As stated before, there are two periods of this Hell Fire predicted by both the Old
Testament Prophets and by the New Testament Apostles. And, there are also to be two
resurrections. In Revelation 20:1-9, it plainly states the resurrection of the wicked and their
destruction will not happen until the 1,000-year millenium is over. "And I saw an angel come
down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he
laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a
thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon
him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled:
and after that he must be loosed a little season. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them,
and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither
his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they
lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." We will study more of this very important
doctrine later.
Now, among the first inhabitants of the earth, Lucifer's first lie was "YE SHALL NOT
SURELY DIE (Genesis 3:4)." And, this same LIE of the Devil has been used from Adam and
Eve's day to our present time today. Here lies the origin of the foundation of the falsehood of
immortal soul, reincarnation, all forms of Spiritualism, Astrology, Black Magic, Necromancy,
Purgatory and Hell, the burning place of torment. The whole system of the Mystery of
Iniquity is based on this lie of the Devil, "Life after Death." But the Bible is very clear:
"THOU SHALT SURELY DIE." Genesis 2:16, 17.
Man does not continue to live after death as most have been deceived into believing. "For
the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything." Ecclesiastes 9:5.
As stated before, the myths about "Life After Death" can be traced in the legends of
Nimrod who became the great god of the Assyrians and Babylonians [17]. At Nineveh,
Austen H. Layard, from the British Museum, uncovered the ancient city and discovered over
25,000 tablets describing the ancient history of the Assyrian Empire [18]. Layard found
inscriptions at Nineveh that said it was Ninus who built the city [10]. The word "Nineveh"
itself means "The Habitation of Ninus"[20]. But it has been discovered that the name Ninus
was just a deified name the early Assyrians called Nimrod, because the Bible itself says it was
Nimrod who built Nineveh (Genesis 10:11). Nimrod (Ninus) was said to have been killed,
according to the inscriptions, but his "spirit" became immortal and flew up to the Sun and he
became "Beelsamon," "Lord of Heaven"[21].
In all forms of witchcraft, as in all modern forms today, the doctrine of "Immortality of the
Soul" was the center of their whole pagan belief and worship. Pagans believed that when they
died they took possession of one of the stars in Heaven. The ignorant pagans, like multitudes
of Christians today, believe that the spirits of the dead are "ministering spirits, sent forth to
minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation." Hebrews 1:14.
If the reader has ever read into the history of any nation, the history of the people shows
that their whole culture was surrounded by the belief in "Life After Death," "Reincarnation,"
and communicating with the dead. Multitudes of pagan traditions, worldwide, have their
origin in the Legends of Nimrod.
The Babylonians taught that the fate of everything was dependent on the sky. The
Babylonians, as most ancient people, believed that each mortal, like the gods, had his own star
in the Sky [22]. Here we can begin to see why primitive men believed their chief gods
inhabited the planets and named the planets as the homes of their gods. Saturn (the Roman
god of crops) is believed to be the star-god Stephen said the ancient Israelites worshipped in
their apostasy under the name of Remphan [23]. "Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
and the Star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry
you away beyond Babylon." Acts 7:43, see also Amos 5:26.
This will also help us to understand the cosmic religion of Astrology, and how Astrology
ties in with Sun worship. Astrology was actually the origin of the pagan sciences and pagan
symbols. John, in the book of Revelation, was given this sacred number 666 of Astrology to
identify who this beast is (see Revelation 13:1-11, and 18) that Jesus warns not to be
identified with (Revelation 14:9,10).
In the ancient Babylonian astrological system, it is the Sun-god who is the ruler and main
god of the zodiac. And all the gods of heaven (the stars) were considered offspring of the sun.
According to pagan philosophy, all the star gods you have heard about in school were actually
manifestations of the heat, fire and light which flowed from the sun. It was believed that it
was the Sun-god who was the source of all things, and all the other gods were but emanations
of the sun, "flesh of his flesh." Therefore, all the manifestations of the gods of nature were just
manifestations of the one god, the Sun, whose worship by primitive man was in reality to
Satan. Even Lucifer's name means "Day Star," the "Illuminated One," or "Shining One"[24].
The Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Hindus and American Indians, like the
Babylonians, all believed that their gods were just representations of the one god. The ancient
people, shortly after the flood, had a knowledge of the True God of Noah, Shem, and
Abraham. But the worship of the True God of Noah, Shem, and Abraham soon became
perverted into idolatry by the larger population when Nimrod tried to unite the whole world
into a One World Government. And this anti-God movement shall be attempted by some
modern Nimrods in our time!
Both history and the Bible reveal that the greatest mystery to mankind has always been the
Universe. And Satan, the Prince of the Power of the Air, used man's curiosity about the
heavenly host to cause man to worship them instead of their Creator. "And the children of
Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and served Baalim (the Sun-god)." Judges 2:11.
The word Baalim is a term to describe the whole system of Sun worship. Augustine said in
his book, The City of God, that all the learned pagan doctors declared that all the chief gods of
the Greek-Roman world were 'one and the same love,' and that all the stars were part of love
and had rational souls [25]. All the chief gods of Greece and Rome were the same gods
worshipped in Babylonia, Assyria, Egypt, Persia, and North and South America [26]. Only the
names were different, like their languages and cultures were. It was from Babylon (Babel) that
Sun worship started. And, it is also where all ancient and modern nations today receive their
system of Astrology [27].
In pagan philosophy, the stars controlled the affairs of the human race. Hence, the science
of Astrology claims to interpret the will of the star gods. The chief star gods of the pagans
were the gods of Astrology, which were believed to be just emanations of the one god, the
Sun-God [28], the ruler of the Zodiac. Astrology is the foundation of all the pagan sciences of
the occult, whose author is Lucifer, and his spirit guides are his angels. Spiritualism, which is
just another name for Witchcraft, is today, among the young, the biggest rival of Jesus Christ.
It will be through Spiritualism that men and women will come with all manner of lying
wonders that will gather the whole world under Satan's banner. "Then if any man shall say
unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there, believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs and false
prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they
shall deceive the very elect." Matthew 24:23,24.
Spiritualism (Witchcraft) will deceive the whole world into accepting a strong delusion
that will bring Satan to finally use his crowning deception that will cause most to lose their
salvation. Lucifer, this Old Serpent, called the Devil, will personate Jesus Christ just before
the real Christ comes the Second Time. This will be Satan's last effort to destroy mankind.
However, students of the Bible, who have made Scripture their only standard to judge
between truth and error, will not be fooled into worshipping Satan as Christ. For the satanic
movement to unite the world under one banner and Christ walking upon this earth again is a
complete contradiction of Scripture. But to actually understand any of this, the reader must
not be ignorant of Satan's devices; so we need to examine what the Bible says Spiritualism or,
what Witchcraft is. This we will study in Part II of this Chapter.

Little do young Rock and Rollers know they are deceived by an unseen host of agents of
the Devil. The Bible warns it will be demons, using people as their instruments, that will lead
others into rejecting the True Christ. "For they are the spirits of DEVILS, working miracles,
which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle
of that great day of God Almighty." Revelation 16:14.
There is absolutely nothing romantic about Satan. He will give some power to work
miracles, but this is his way of deceiving. Just as God uses man to lead others to Him, so does
Satan. However, unlike God, once Satan has used a person for his own purposes, Satan will
cast away all whom he has used to deceive others, like a man casts away his trash into the
trash can. So to help a Bible student avoid falling into any of Satan's traps, one can learn from
the Scriptures and from those whom Satan has already used, how not to become another one
of his victims.
To start, we need to study again the first deception at the Garden of Eden. As we stated
before, the Devil uses camouflages to keep his worship hidden. The Sun and Nimrod were
only a front used by Lucifer to get multitudes to bow before him. However, the first
camouflage he used to deceive Adam and Eve was the serpent. The very thing Satan used to
deceive Adam and Eve became eventually one of the most sacred symbols of Sun worship!
Instead of the serpent as being a symbol of Satan and deception, as the Bible instructs, the
serpent became a symbol of the "Great Benefactor and Healer" of mankind. The serpent was
worshipped as the "God of Healing" and "Life-Restorer." "YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE,"
Genesis 3:3, was Lucifer's first lie to our first parents. The serpent, the god of healing, was
generally represented in the pagan arts entwined on a stick, staff or a stock of a tree [1]. Here
we find the origin of the strange symbol that the American Medical Association (AMA) uses
today. This medical insignia was originally the symbol of the Egyptian god Hermes, who we
will see in a moment was Nimrod's father, Cush. And it's here we find the origin of the word
hermetic. This ancient word found in classical literature actually derived from the ancient
Egyptian god of medicine. This name is actually Chaldean and the Greeks and Egyptians
adopted this god from the Babylonians. The very word hermetic means the hidden knowledge
of magic, occult sciences, etc [2]. Not only was the serpent worshipped by the ignorant pagans
as "The Great Benefactor" for mankind, the serpent ironically enough was worshipped also as
"The Great Enlightener." What did Satan say to Adam and Eve besides, "Ye shall not surely
die?" In Genesis 3:5 we read: "FOR GOD DOTH KNOW THAT IN THE DAY YE EAT
THEREOF THEN YOUR EYES SHALL BE OPENED, AND YE SHALL BE AS GODS,
KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL."
In The Two Babylons, by Hislop, p. 227, we read the following:
"Along with the sun, as the great fire-god, and, in due time, identified with him, was the
serpent worshipped. In the mythology of the primitive world, says Owen, 'the serpent is
universally the symbol of the sun. In Egypt, one of the commonest symbols of the sun, or sun
god, is a disc with a serpent around it. The original reason of that identification seems just to
have been that, as the sun was the great enlightener of the physical world, so the serpent was
held to have been the great enlightener of the spiritual, by giving mankind the 'Knowledge of
Good and Evil.' ' " The ancient Mayans of the Yucatan in Mexico worshipped the serpent god
under the name of Can. Can means "serpent" in the Mayan language, as Can or A-Can was the
ancient Sumerian and ancient Scottish word for serpent. Here we find the origin of our word
canny, shrewd or serpent-like. The Babylonians worshipped Can the serpent and Vul, the god
of fire. The Romans simply combined the two words into 'Vulcan," the Roman god of fire
from when also comes our word "volcano" [3]. This seems to be how the Mayans and
Mexicans named their gods. They too combined two words to describe their serpent god.
"Kulkul" means "beautiful bird," and "Can," serpent. Hence, "Kulkulcan," which means "Bird
Serpent" in the Mayan language. This is the exact same meaning for Quetzalcoatl, the
Mexican pagan messiah in central Mexico [4].
Interestingly enough, the cosmic symbol for Quetzalcoatl was a feathered serpent! Here is
another interesting observation. The origin of the word "Vatican" also derived from two
words. The Latin word "vatic" or "vatis" means "prophet or soothsayer" [5]. The combined
word, "Vatican," appears to mean "divination by the serpent"! The symbol for Astrology is
often shown in pagan arts as a serpent in a circular position with his tail in his mouth. This
represented eternal life.
There is the strong evidence from Scripture that the serpent originally had wings and flew,
instead of having legs as the evolutionists say. The Scriptures reveal it was a curse for the
serpent to travel on his belly as he does now. "And the Lord God said unto the serpent,
because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the
field: upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life." Genesis
3:14.
Hence, that feathered serpent that has been displayed in pagan arts and worshipped as the
god of healing, is none other but "that Old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world." Revelation 12:9.
While Satan changed the image of the serpent into something to be adored and worshipped,
the goat, from antiquity, symbolized the Devil. The goat, known for its agility, stubborn
character and having its own way, is what Astrologers say people are who are born under the
sign of Capricorn, the He-Goat. Witches in the Middle Ages were widely reputed to worship
the Devil in the form of a goat [6]. During the Middle Ages there was a widespread witch
panic that produced witch hunts and witch trials. Witches were often charged with poisonings
and other injuries as well as murder. The charge of murder might have been derived from
making a wax image of a hated person and consuming it over a slow fire or sticking it with
pins. African witchdoctors, Haitian experts in Voo-Doo, and American Indian medicine men
indulged in this Satanic Black Art. The Middle Ages witch trials record how multitudes of
witches confessed, under torture, that they held local meetings called covens to adore their
master, make plans to execute the diabolic will, and partake in bestial rites. In southern
Europe the site where the witches met was called a synagogue; in Germany it was called a
blocksberg [7]. These meetings usually took place at midnight. It was brought out during the
trials that witches claimed they came to their meetings by being carried by the Devil: others
were able to fly by anointing themselves with oils from the bodies of murdered infants; still
others rode broomsticks, or a cow or a goat. At the rendezvous Satan appeared as a black
animal, often a goat, or as a man with cloven feet [8]. There are many different sects in
modern witchcraft today; however, modern day witches do not believe that the Devil exists.
They are not Satanist old women with long black hair and a wart on their nose. A Christian
will be shocked to know that ancient Witchcraft has been revived and modernized among the
young people today. And, it is the religion of some of those who control the wealth of the
world! Their covens (churches) are today Federally recognized tax exempt churches, and
enjoy the same rights under the protection of the law as do the Christians. And, believe it or
not, there are millions of both male and female witches here in the United States alone.
Witchcraft is the biggest rival religion of Christianity in England and America [9].
It is interesting enough, however, that these modern witches exalt the horn gods and the
pagan goddesses such as the Egyptian pagan trinity Osiris, Isis, Horus, which originated in the
worship of Nimrod (the Sun), his wife Semiramis (the moon), and Tammuz (the Morning
Star).
Like their pagan brethren, modern day witches are ignorant to the fact that these gods do
not exist. Even though they claim the Devil does not exist, they too are in reality bowing their
knee before him. They exalt the gods Satan hid behind to deceive the ancient nations. Pan or
Bacchus is another god the witches exalt and worship. It depends on what coven they belong
to. Anyway, how was this ancient pagan god displayed in pagan art? He had a man's head with
horns and cloven feet!
Now witchcraft, as stated before, has been modernized. Modern day witches who worship
the gods of cosmic forces claim now to work magic and cast spells for the general good of the
community. This kind of witchcraft is called white magic. Those who practice casting spells
that injure people practice what is known as Black Magic.
However, most of these modern day witches claim to be good witches as in The Wizard of
Oz, and unlike medieval witchcraft that made an image out of wax to stick pins in it so the
person the wax image looked like would die, these modern day witches claim now that this
wax image is used to heal people. This revised and modern form of witchcraft is called today
Wicca, which is the feminine form of an Old English word, "Wicce," meaning -- "Witch" [10].
The main feature of Wicca is, however, nature worship. Just as the ancient Baal worshippers
in Babylonia believed it was the cosmic Star gods that were responsible for pouring out the
rain from Heaven and caused fertility among the plants and mankind, so do these ignorant
people in these modern witch covens teach their little ones these things.
The word Baal, so often seen throughout the Old Testament, was used to describe a god.
The word means "Lord" or "Master" [11] and in the Bible it was the name for the Sun-god.
Now, kings of pagan nations often were considered the incarnation of the Sun-god, and to
identify with the Sun-god the kings would adopt the name of his god as Jezebel's father did in
1.Kings 16:31. His name was "Ethbaal" which means "with Baal" or "Baal's man" [12].
Just as ancient Sun-kings pretended to be the ancient incarnation of the Sun-god, so does
modern witchcraft teach that the High Priest is the personification of the horned god Pan, or
Osiris. And, the High Priestess of these covens, like ancient Sun worship, is the
personification of Isis, Diana, or one of the other names this pagan goddess has throughout the
world. Baal worship was basically a fertility cult that taught its followers that the Sun-god and
Moon-goddess controlled the seasons, brought fertility, etc. Here we find the origin of the
beliefs of Wicca.
Witches, ancient and modern, take off their clothes during their meetings as a symbol of
freedom, and so the power they say they receive from their gods can freely flow from their
bodies. A circle is drawn to contain and concentrate the power the witches claim to receive
through lewd dancing and chanting. On nights of the full moon and other festivals, the High
Priest of witchcraft performs a ritual known as "Drawing Down the Moon." This is taught to
new members to explain how the High Priestess becomes the incarnation of the Moongoddess
[13].
Witches believe that the build-up of power is achieved much more readily when the
participants are naked, and when a certain sexual tension is present. When these witches reach
the power they want charged in their atmosphere, they begin to cast their spells. They claim
the spells should always be for the good; an evil spell, they say, rebounds threefold upon the
head of its creator. After their spells are cast, the witches settle down to a ceremony that is
similar to the holy communion held for the Egyptian god Osiris. However, instead of a round
disk wafer that was an Egyptian symbol of the sun, some modern day witches make cakes in
the shape of a five pointed star called the Pentagram. This to the occultist is one of the most
powerful weapons in magic. The Pentagram symbolism is based on that of the number five
which according to Astrology, stands for the living world of nature, such as Air, Fire, Water,
Earth, and the Spirit of their god and pagan goddess who used the elements, according to
witchcraft, to create the Universe.
The number five in Astrology also represents the four directions and the center, for the five
senses (smell, taste, sight, touch and hearing).
Witchcraft, like all forms of Spiritualism, teaches man is a microcosm (miniature
universe); man is the ruler of nature, and as the miniature image, the potential master of all
things [14]. So, the Pentagram (five pointed star) with one of its points projecting upwards is
imagined in Witchcraft as a man's body with arms and legs extended, and is a symbol of the
dominance of the divine spirit. It is used as a magical weapon for invoking good influences
and keeps the evil spirits at bay, say those who practice white magic.
Many of our youth reject the religion of the Bible, and now worship the created things
instead of the Creator through this new modern form of Witchcraft because Witchcraft today
is attractive and has taken on a brighter look. Instead of the satanic evil looking people of the
Middle Ages, the witches of today have been, for the past century, portrayed as good people,
who fight against the evil forces of this world, such as "Wonder Woman," with her sign of
white magic (the Pentagram) displayed on her forehead. But to distinguish the bad witches
from the good witches, say the occultists, a reversed Pentagram with two points upward is a
symbol of Black Magic, and of those who do worship the Devil. The two points of the star
pointed upwards suggests the horns of the Devil symbolized as a goat attacking the Heavens
with his horns [15]. This five pointed star which has two points upward was, and is today,
worn as an amulet by open Devil worshippers, and by many modern day magicians and
wizards. Originally this evil sign was worn to show Satan that they had chosen him as their
leader [16].
Is this not chilling and frightening to know that multitudes of women of high fashion may
not be aware that when they wear that little gold chain around their neck, with this five
pointed star with two points upward, they are showing they have chosen the Devil's side, and
seek his protection? Is it not chilling to know that they who call themselves Freemasons, and
the ladies who call themselves "The Order of the Eastern Star" display this evil sign in their
lodges? We will study even more shocking truths about the origin and purpose of these Secret
Societies in the next chapter.
As stated earlier, there are many sects of modern witchcraft today, and many variations
found in their rituals. In some covens the cakes they use in their communion are made into the
shape of a crescent, which is the symbol of the Moon-goddess. These cakes, by the way, are
made of salt, honey, wine, meal, oil and, in some covens, blood. They are eaten in honour of
the Egyptian god Horus [17] or whatever god the coven exalts.
In ancient witchcraft the cakes were round with a cross drawn on them that represented the
first letter of the name of the ancient dead and risen pagan messiah "Tammuz," who was the
incarnation of the Sun-god and the son of the Moon-goddess (the Queen of Heaven). Even the
Israelites, when they turned from the worship of our Creator made these same cakes that
honoured the pagan queen of Heaven and her god-child Tammuz. In Jeremiah 7:18 our Lord
condemned this ancient ritual in the worship of these cosmic gods. "The children gather wood,
and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen
of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to
anger."
Today, the Roman Catholic Church dedicates these same cakes to the Virgin Mary whom
they ironically call the Queen of Heaven [18]. These cakes are called by Roman Catholic "Hot
Cross Buns" [19]. The name of this pagan goddess the Israelites worshipped and dedicated
these cakes to is found in Judges 2:13. Her name to the Israelites was Ashtaroth. To the early
Romans her name was Venus, the goddess of love.
Witchcraft is just another word for Spiritualism, but the modern word used to cover-up the
evil name of Witchcraft so it may be taught in Colleges is "Parapsychology." Now, to
understand this other abomination found in both ancient and modern Witchcraft, the reader
must understand that it was the Sun-god and Moon-goddess who created the whole Universe,
according to these witches. To honour this pagan belief, a ritual called "The Great Rite" is
strictly observed among these socalled "good" witches. Since the High Priest in a coven is
believed to be the incarnation of Pan, the Sun-god, and the High Priestess is the incarnation of
the Queen of Heaven, the Moon-goddess, these two mimic the myth in the creation of the
Universe by the Sun-god and the Moon-goddess when they perform "The Great Rite" ritual,
which is engaging in sacred prostitution.
This is justified by the witches on the grounds of fertility, because after all, they say, Wicca
is a fertility cult [20].
To try to understand any of this perversion so you can teach others how to avoid it, the
reader simply needs to realize that this abominable practice of sacred prostitution found today
in modern witchcraft is nothing new. All ancient heathen worship of the Sun-gods had within
its philosophies Phallicism. What is Phallicism? It is the veneration and worship of male and
female sex organs. The union of male and female organs is symbolized in witchcraft as a point
within a circle, and also as two triangles uniting to make a "Hexagram" [21] better known
today as the "Star of David." The truth is, King David of Israel never carried this emblem that
is now the symbol of Israel. This emblem was adopted from witchcraft by some Jewish priests
who had explored deep into the Babylonian religion during their captivity in Babylon. From
here sprang witchcraft in another garb called the Cabala.
The Mexican Indian, centuries before seeing a white man, had the Hexagram as the symbol
of their phallic worship of the cosmic gods. Often the Hexagram is displayed as a symbol of
the 7 planets that serpentine their way through the Zodiac. The Sun in the center is displayed
in a circle with a point in its center.
Usually before these modern day witches partake of the cake and wine to honour Horus or
Pan, as we examined in part one of this chapter, a ceremony for any new initiates into their
coven is performed. This involved blinding, binding, and whipping new members for the
purpose of purification. However, this ceremony is not as brutal as in medieval covens; they
are good witches, so the whip they use now is said to be of embroidered silk. However, those
present with sadomasochistic tendencies might be satisfied. The following five-fold kiss
bestowed by the High Priest or Priestess on the feet, knees, genitals, breasts and lips of a new
member speaks for itself [22].
In Man, Myth and Magic, An Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Supernatural, Vol. 14, p.
1867, Cavendish, we read the following:
"Only three pieces of magic can be performed at each meeting, they claim, and the spells
should always be for the good; an evil spell rebounds threefold upon the head of its creator.
Sometimes the spell is cast telepathically: for instance, in the case of a spell cast to cure a
person of a bad leg the witches would stand silently and 'will' the leg to heal. On other
occasions they might use a doll, or 'fith-fath,' to represent the sick person - bathe the doll's leg
with a healing potion, or the high priestess might 'bind' the spell, wrapping her girdle around
the blade of her athame in a special way."
How popular has this modern witchcraft become? In the September 12th, 1982 Arkansas
Democrat "Family Weekly," Georgia Frontiere appeared on the front page. Georgia inherited
the Los Angeles Rams when her late (sixth) husband drowned in the riptides off the Florida
coast in April 1979. He was 72. But what we really are interested in bringing to your attention
is her openness about being able, says she, to talk to her dead husband's spirit, and how she
dabbles in the occult. On page 11 of the Sept. 12 issue we read the following: "Georgia gives
Nolan Cromwell on unasked for raise ... and Georgia, who dabbles in the occult (she says
she's talked to Carroll's spirit), mysteriously waves a hand at half-time over Haden's injured
leg, which is believed to be broken.
'I thought for sure she was nuts,' Haden says. 'Then, incredibly, after the doctors told me
they were sure it was broken, the X-rays were negative.' "
Why are more and more people coming out publicly and admitting to be connected with
Spiritualism? About 25 years ago they would be afraid to make such statements for fear of
public ridicule and harm. However, most Christians never heard of the Fraudulent Mediums
Act of 1951 which only applies to those who obtain money from the public under the pretext
of possessing supernatural power.
