(Note from Marc: the bloody picture here was reportedly taken during
an FBI raid of a house in western America where human sacrifices were
being performed.)
As Halloween approaches once again, I am amazed as always, at how
many Christians either don’t understand this very religious holiday, or
just choose to ignore what they know. It makes no more sense to
celebrate Halloween “just for fun” than it would to celebrate Ramadan.
I spoke to one Christian Bible teacher and seminary student who
thinks nothing of allowing her children to celebrate Halloween. I was
shocked and when I voiced my surprise she conceded, “Well, I don’t
really like how much candy they consume.”
“I can deal with the candy,” I responded, “It’s the
human sacrifices that get to me!”
That’s right, human sacrifices in America. It happens every year.
Satanists, or Lucifereans, as they prefer to be called, celebrate
Halloween from October 13 through November 4, with sexual rituals on
several dates and the sacrifice of an animal or human on the 31
st.
According to Pastor Russ Dizdar of Shatter the Darkness, the victims for these rituals are usually abducted before the 13
th
of October. Pastor Russ has helped over 150 victims of Satanic Ritual
Abuse, spending hours with each of them, sometimes over a period of
several years. All of them report having been used in ritual
sacrifices.
Halloween is not fun and games to them.
For these people, many of them wholly devoted to the Lord Jesus,
watching people celebrate Halloween would be like Jews having to watch
people celebrate Hitler’s birthday! What is so confusing about this
holiday for so many Christians?
Pastor Russ says, “They (the witches, Satanists, etc.) know what the
date is for. They are not confused. They see it as a time to draw
power from the spirit realm.”
Witches and New Agers and pagans of other types also celebrate
Halloween, although they do not worship Lucifer, nor do they perform
sacrifices. One witch interviewed by Jill Pearson of the Iowa State
Daily reported, “We ritualize to honor the changing of the seasons, the
movements of the moon and sun in relation to the earth,” she said. “We
believe in magic, the art of changing consciousness at will.” Many also
use this as a time to correspond with the dead.
All of these practices are forbidden by God.
Deuteronomy 18:10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his
son or daughter in [ Or who makes his son or daughter pass through ] the
fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in
witchcraft
At the very least, the concept of Trick or Treat is the opposite of
Christ’s command to “Do unto others…” Even if there weren’t real pagans
performing rituals to draw demonic power, the thought of celebrating
death, fear and gore should be enough to cause Christ Followers to want
nothing of it.
The fact is, though, Satanists and witches are real. The spirit
realm is real. There are only two sides. There is no middle ground
when it comes to Halloween. A leading member of Britain’s Pagan
Federation had this to say in an MSNBC article by Jennifer Carlisle
about Americans who celebrate Halloween “I think it’s wonderful how the
Americans celebrate it; it keeps the tradition alive, but I wish there
were more factualization about it.” How can we please Pagans and a Holy
God at the same time?
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 Be ye not unequally yoked together with
unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what
concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth
with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell
in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my
people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith
the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And
will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith
the Lord Almighty.
What will you do? I agree with Pastor Russ’s admonition, “whatever you do, don’t join in and don’t be silent.”
