Paganism Part 2 (Ref.44) 8 January 2018 (From the pen of Celia Joy Martins)
Deut. 4:35,39 "... there is NONE ELSE beside Him ... there is NONE ELSE" Deut. 6:4 "HEAR, O Israel; YAH our ELOHIM (the Lord our God of gods) YAH (God) is ONE" .
ONLY ONE GOD and ONE KINGDOM of LIGHT:
There is ONLY ONE TRUE ALMIGHTY CREATOR GOD - TRI-UNE in NATURE - the FATHER - the SON and the HOLY SPIRIT. There is NO OTHER TRUE GOD. There is NO FEMALE GOD.
Satanism in disguise: Anyone or anything ELSE proclaimed to be GOD - is FALSE - and part of the KINGDOM OF DARKNESS' DECEPTION. IT IS SATANISM in DISGUISE. It is the ONE or the OTHER.
PAGANISM: GODS and GODDESSES WORSHIPPING
Paganism in its Polytheism and Diversity form (functioning in and through the powers of the kingdom of DARKNESS) - WOMAN DEITIES (GODDESSES) are VENERATED coming from the ancient Babylon venerating and worshipping of the Queen of Babel (Semiramis - Nimrod's immoral consort wife) (Satan and his agents working through and in them) that travelled from generation to generation into the world under different names after the Tower of Babel.
Some Pagans are seeing the gods and goddesses as a "COMMUNITY of INDIVIDUALS" in the heavenly sphere much like the diverse human communities here on earth.
WICCAN PAGANISM:
Wiccan paganism is the FASTEST GROWING RELIGION in AMERCIA and is PROMOTED with "WITCHCRAFT LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!" It is said that in 2015 there were approximately three MILLION WICCANS in the USA making it America's third LARGEST RELIGIOUS TRADITION.
WICCA as OLD as ANCIENT BABYLON:
Gerald Gardner (1884 - 1964) - an english 'witch/wizard' was the first in Western society to PUBLICLY IDENTIFY himself with the practice refer to today as Wicca. He was the founder and a WICAN PRIEST of the Gardnerian Wiccan and the "Wheel of Life" (as in Paganism Part 1).
OCCULT GROUP - The ROSICRUCIAN ORDER CROTONA FELLOWSHIP (ORDER OF TWELVE):
Gardner was born in Lundellsands, Lancashire, spent his childhood in Madeira and moved to Malaya in 1911. He retired in 1936 - travelled to Cyprus where he wrote his novel "A Goddess Arrives" - then returned to England.
The OCCULT GROUP - The ROSICRUCIAN ORDER CROTONA FELLOWSHIP - previously known as the "Order of Twelve" were operating in Liverpool England then later from the Christchurch area. From 1938 the group built the CHRISTCHURCH GARDEN THEATRE, the FIRST ROSICRUCIAN THEATRE in ENGLAND. From 1938 (June through to September) it PRESENTED MYSTICALLY-THEMED PLAYES written by the founder George Alexander Sullivan under his journalistic pen-name Alex Matthews.
CO-MASONRY:
The RITUALS of this OCCULT GROUP were PERFORMED BASED on CO-MASONRY (an ANCIENT RITUALISTIC FRATERNITY under a banner of MEN AND WOMEN of EVERY RACE, NATIONALITY and RELIGION) and the group was referred to as the "NEW FOREST COVEN" in which Gardner were initiated into in 1939.
Gardner decided to revive the "faith" supplementing the coven's rituals with ideas borrowed from Freemasonry, ceremonial magic and the writings of Aleister Crowley to form the Gardnerian TRADITION of WICCA.
SATAN AND HIS AGENTS WORKING:
The ancient practices of WITCHCRAFT and DIVINATION - MEDIUMS AND SPIRITISTS came from ancient Babylon (Babel) - a PRACTICE that is and was an ABOMINATION to our HEAVENLY FATHER.
1 Chron. 10:13 "Saul died because he was unfaithful to Yah; he did NOT KEEP the WORD of YAH and EVEN CONSULTED a MEDIUM for GUIDANCE ..."
Lev. 19:31 "DO NOT TURN to MEDIUMS or SEEK OUT SPIRITISTS, for you WILL BE DEFILED by THEM. I AM Elohim your YAH."
2 Chron. 33:6 "He SACRIFICED his CHILDREN in the FIRE in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, PRACTICED DIVINATION (omens, predictions, forecasts, foretelling, fortune-telling, signs intuition -'tapping' into or through the 'otherworld' ) AND WITCHCRAFT (transcendental meditation, voodoo, 'channelling') SOUGHT OMENS, and CONSULTED MEDIUMS AND SPIRITISTS. He DID MUCH EVIL in the EYES of YAH, AROUSING HIS ANGER."
Gal. 5:19-21 "The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry AND WITCHCRAFT; hatred, discord (conflict, argument; disagreement, disharmony), jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions (rebellions), factions (divisions, strife) and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of Yah."
Rev. 18:23 "The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of the bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the WORLD'S IMPORTANT people. By YOUR MAGIC SPELL ALL the NATIONS were LED ASTRAY."
Rev. 21:8 "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, THOSE WHO PRACTICE MAGIC ARTS, the idolaters and all liars - they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
1 Sam. 15:23 "For REBELLION is LIKE the SIN OF WITCHCRAFT, and ARROGANCE like the EVIL of IDOLATRY.
Micah 5:10,12 "In that day, declares Yah, .... I WILL DESTROY your WITCHCRAFT and you will NO LONGER CAST SPELLS."
WITCHCRAFT in the BIBLE:
WITCHCRAFT IN ALL its FACETS were practiced by the PAGANS from the day it was INTRODUCED to them by the ANGELS that SINNED by TAKING for THEMSELVES WIVES by FORCE in the TIMES of JARED.
ENOCH:
Jared was born in the year 460 AC (After Creation). He was 162 years old when ENOCH was born in the year 622 AC. Enoch lived a total of 365 years when he was RAPTURED INTO HEAVEN in the year 987 AC.
Gen. 5:19-24:
:18 When Jared was 162 years old, Enoch was born.
:19 Jared lived AFTER the birth of Enoch 800 years and had other sons and daughters.
:20 So Jared lived 962 years, and he died.
:21 When Enoch was 65 years old, Methuselah was born.
:22 Enoch WALKED [in HABITUAL FELLOWSHIP] with YAH after the birth of Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters.
:23 So ALL the days of Enoch were 365 years.
:24 And Enoch WALKED [in HABITUAL FELLOWSHIP] with YAH, AND HE WAS NOT, for YAH TOOK him [HOME to Him]. (Heb. 11:5)
As per the above verses in the Bible -Jared was still alive when Enoch was raptured into heaven. Enoch - who walked with Yah in an INTIMATE and HABITUAL RELATIONSHIP wrote in the BOOK OF ENOCH:
Enoch 6:5 "And they were in all 200 who descended [in the days of Jared] on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations (oaths) upon it.
:7-8 And these were the names of their leaders: Semiazaz, their leader, Arakiba, Rameel, Kokabiel, Tamiel, Ramiel, Danel. Ezequeel, Baraqijal, Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaqiel, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel, these are their chiefs of tens.
Enoch 7:1-4 "And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives and each CHOSE ONE FOR HIMSELF, and they BEGAN TO GO IN UNTO THEM AND TO DEFILE [raped them and ruin, pollute, degrade, spoil, contaminate] themselves with them, AND THEY TAUGHT THEM CHARMS (hypnosis, to put under spell, spellbinding, 'entrances' into spirit world ) AND ENCHANTMENTS (BEWITCHMENT, MAGIC, MAGICAL things, SUPERNATURAL things - SORCERY, WITCHCRAFT, VOODOO, ALCHEMY, DEVILTRY, INCANTATIONS, MYSTIC, PARANORMAL and MYSTERIOUS things, AUGURY [predictions, divination, prophesy, forecasting, omens, signs), and the CUTTING OF ROOTS, and they MADE THEM ACQUAINTED with PLANTS (DRUGS). And they became PREGNANT, and they BARE GREAT GIANTS, whose HEIGHT WAS THREE THOUSAND ELL, WHO CONSUMED ALL the ACQUISITIONS of MEN. And when men could no longer sustain them, the GIANTS (Nephilim beings) TURNED AGAISNT THEM AND DEVOUR (ruin, destroy, damage, wipe out, consume and ate) mankind."
Origin of the Dinosaur-beings:
Enoch 7:5-6 "And they BEGAN to SIN (SEXUALLY) AGAINST BIRDS, and BEASTS, and REPTILES, and FISH ...
CANNIBALISM:
... and to DEVOUR ONE ANOTHERS FLESH, and DRINK the BLOOD. Then the earth laid accusation against the LAWLESS ONES."
THEY JUST DID IT AGAIN:
Witchcraft - sorcery - divination - magic spells - cannibalism - mysticism - etc. in all its evil and ugly facets - together with drugs usage - etc. moved in again when the Satanic angels just did the same thing again AFTER the flood.
It moved with the people - with Nimrod - the first man to build himself a KINGDOM in the times of ancient Babylon (Babel). Nimrod who built himself a Babylonian kingdom as per Gen. 10. It moved right into the whole world after the Tower of Babel, and it was in Canaan when Abraham set his feet in Canaan AND when the Israelites moved into their promised land.
It was the practices of the entire world and even infiltrated the Israelites - when they split up into two kingdoms, Israel fell into it and then Judah as well.
It settled into the Israelites as they mingled with the people that lived in Canaan in disobedience to Yahweh's commands. Time and again throughout the times of the kings of Israel, they fell into paganism - following the false gods (Satan and his agents). The people of Israel idolatry and paganism reached a horrific height when Ahab and Jezebel reigned. Jezebel had the prophets of Yahweh slain - and she and Ahab was looking for the prophet Elijah, to kill him also. Scripture tells us that there was a severe famine in Israel.
ARE YOU THE TROUBLEMAKER, ELIJAH?
1 Kings 18:17 tells the story where Ahab met Elijah and said to him "Are you he who troubles Israel?".
Elijah replied in verse 18-19: "... I HAVE NOT TROUBLED Israel, bu YOU HAVE, and your FATHER'S HOUSE, by FORSAKING the COMMANDMENTS of YAHWEH and by FOLLOWING the BAALS (PAGANISM TRADITION of RELIGION). Therefore send and gather to me all Israel at Mount Carmel, and the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of [the goddess] Asherah, who eat at [queen] Jezebel's table.
:20 So Ahab sent to all the Israelites and assembled the prophets at Mount Carmel.
:21 Elijah came near the people and said, 'HOW LONG WILL YOU HALT AND LIMP BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS? If ELOHIM is YAH (God), FOLLOW Him! But if Baal, then follow him. And the people did not answer him a word.
:22 Then Elijah said to the people, I, I ONLY, REMAIN a PROPHET of YAHWEH, but Baal's prophets are 450 men."
We all know the story of how Yahweh showed Himself to be the ONLY God, the prophets of Baal were slain and Yahweh sent rain:
1 Kings. 18:37 "Hear me O Yah, HEAR ME, that this people MAY KNOW that You, the Elohim, our YAH, are YAH, and TURNED their HEARTS BACK to You.
:38 Then the fire of Yah FELL and CONSUMED the BURNT SACRIFICE AND the WOOD AND the STONES AND the DUST AND ALSO LICKED UP the WATER that was in the trench. m
:39 When all the people saw it, they FELL ON THEIR FACES and they said, ELOHIM, HE IS YAH! ELOHIM, He is YAH!
:40 And Elijah said, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one escape. They seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and [as Yah's law required] SLEW THEM THERE. (Deut. 13:5; 18:20).
:42-44 And Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he BOWED HIMSELF DOWN UPON the EARTH and PUT his FACE between his knees, and said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up and looked and said, There is nothing. Elijah said, Go again seven times. And at the seventh time the servant said, A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising out of the sea. And Elijah said, Go up, say to Ahab, Hitch your chariot and go down, lest the rain stop you.
:45 In a little while, the heavens were black with wind-swept clouds, and there was a great rain. And Ahab went to Jezreel. The hand of Yah was on Elijah. He girded up his loins and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel [nearly twenty miles]."
FEAR ALWAYS REPLACE FAITH:
Isn't it familiar what happened to Elijah - this great prophet of Yah, that had just slain - through the power of the Almighty - 450 Baal prophets - Elijah, who had RUN LIKE the WIND BEFORE AHAB to Jezreel - who had just witnessed the POWER of YAH by the GREAT RAIN who were nourishing the dry land - were threatened by Jezebel - AND HE FEARED for HIS LIFE.
1 Kings 19:1 "Ahab told Jezebel ALL that Elijah had done and how he had slain all the prophets [of Baal] with the sword. Then Jezebel's SENT a MESSAGE to Elijah, saying, So let the GODS DO TO ME, and MORE ALSO, IF I MAKE NOT YOUR LIFE AS THE LIFE OF ONE OF THEM BY THIS TIME TOMORROW.
:2 THEN HE WAS AFRAID and arose and WENT for HIS LIFE and CAME to BEERSHEBA of JUDAH [over eighty miles and out of Jezebel's realm] and left his servant there. But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a lone broom or juniper tree and asked that he might die. He said, IT IS ENOUGH; now, O YAH, TAKE AWAY MY LIFE; for I AM NO BETTER THAN MY FATHERS."
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, Elijah?
An angel brought him nourishment, and strengthened Elijah went forty days and nights to Horeb, the mount of Yah. There he came to a cave and lodged in it. There the word of Yah came to him, asking "What are you doing here, Elijah?" (1 Kings. 19:9).
Elijah replied "I have been very jealous for Elohim Yahweh of hosts; for the Israelites have FORSAKEN Your COVENANT, THROWN DOWN YOUR ALTARS, and KILLED YOUR PROPHETS with the sword. AND I, I ALONE, AM LEFT, and they SEEK MY LIFE, to TAKE IT AWAY" (1 Kings 19:10).
YAHWEH WAS NOT IN THE WIND:
So Yahweh said to Elijah to go out and stand on the mount before Him. And there passed by a great and strong wind that rent the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks, but Yah was not in the wind.
YAHWEH WAS NOT IN THE EARTHQUAKE nor the FIRE:
After the wind, an earthquake, but Yah was not in the earthquake, and after the earthquake a fire, and Yah was also not in the fire.
YAHWEH'S GENTILE STILL SMALL VOICE:
And AFTER the FIRE A STILL SMALL VOICE - the SOUND of a GENTILE STILLNESS - and then Elijah HEARD YAHWEH - and YAHWEH said to him - "Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus, and when you arrive, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria. And anoint Jehu son of Nimshi to be king over Israel, and ANOINT ELISHA son of Shaphat of Abel-melolah to be PROPHET IN YOUR PLACE. (1 Kings 19:11-17)
I WILL LEAVE MYSELF 7,000 in ISRAEL:
Of all the Israelites, Abba preserved Himself a remnant of 7,000 people. Those who did not BOW to Baal (paganism and idolatry) - those who did not worshipped and praised the false gods with their mouths.
1 Kings 19:18 "Yet, I will LEAVE MYSELF 7,000 in ISRAEL, ALL the KNEES that DID NOT BOW to BAAO, and EVERY MOUTH that DID NOT KISSED him."
The apostle Paul wrote in Acts. 19:17-19 "When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear and the name of Yah-shua was held in high honor. Many of those who believed came and openly CONFESSED what THEY HAD DONE. A number who PRACTICES SORCERY (WITCHCRAFT, WIZARDRY DIVINATION, SHAMANISM, SPELLS , MAGIC, ENHANTMENT, NECROMANCY [practice of magic involving communication with the deceased, either by summoning their spirit - conjuring with the spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future or influencing the future] BEWITCHMENT[cast a spell over], CONJURING[magic, trickery, illusion, tricks, call up, conjure up, mesmerizing, voodooing, spellbinding, juggling, perform tricks, do magic tricks]) brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas"
O Abba - Your Word tells us that there is a way that seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death. (Prov. 16:25). Help us Father to FIND the PATH OF LIFE - to LAY DOWN the PATH that LEADS to DEATH. Help us to BUILD a GODLY road - to FOLLOW the GODLY road - to WAIT PATIENTLY and EXPECTANTLY for YOU - YOUR VOICE that is a GENTLE SOFT SMALL VOICE. Help us not to TRY to HEAR YOUR VOICE in the NOISE and the BUSSY HOURS of our days but to WAIT on YOU in STILLNESS and in EXPECTATION. In Yahshua's NAME. Amen.
