The Rise Of Satanism In The Last Days

[Christ_empowered]

I dunno

For Me or against Me…

In a post Christian culture why even bother pretending to respect Christian morality? Satanism is mostly just a progressive version of secular morality…

H, I like you, but I’ve heard this for neigh on 50 years. The “signs” were always “unmistakable” and still He didn’t come as expected.

He will come but just as he left, quietly, alone, without a military escort and no world ending. That was done long ago, in my view. Only the Mosaic covenant world ended.

This frees a believer to get on with the business of living your life for Him and not waste time on endless doom and gloom theories.

How do I do this. Got to be nice, but can’t be Luke Warm.
We are in end times so maybe a little more than a monotone. Little hand waving maybe.

What am I getting to?

Jesus left life with persecution. Crucified, beaten, beard pulled out , spear in his side, crown of thorns. Crowd yelling crucify him.

The sun was dark, an earthquake, graves opened.

Jesus went up into the clouds. The 4 jet streams are there. Those clouds and winds can cause famine, drought, be still and let pollution hang over cities. Not bring rain. Tell when he is coming back.

When Jesus comes again I thought there would be upheaval.

Jesus was quiet in the mountain of his mind (the high place) most of the way through sit all. We can go to the high place in ourselves when tribulation comes, but on the outside there is anything but quiet.

Then what does a redneck know.

Read Acts 1:11. I was reading the Bible and this jumped out at me. That’s why I now believe (since a few weeks) that he will come as he left. That’s what it says.

To be charitable, “coming in clouds” means judgement as is used in the OT for the same. Its not a cumulus elevator.

'After School Satan Club' causes controversy in Saucon Valley School District

"We as members of the Satanic Temple do not believe in or worship the devil," said the national campaign director for the After School Satan Club. "We don't tell them Satan is the good guy and God is not real. We don't teach about our actual beliefs in the club."

Either they're really good at hiding this or they're subliminally bringing Satan into the fold..

It's no surprise there are satanic worshipping going on but I never seen it this bad let alone the amount of people defending it.

The most interesting line in the ad is that they openly admit they hide their beliefs from kids….until the kids are hooked, we can assume.

(They say, “we don’t teach about our actual beliefs.”)

Yeah, that's the problem. Even if they don't teach about their beliefs they teach them to reject God and Jesus. They assume all Christians are the same and that's the problem. It isn't even the fact they reject God it's the fact they worship Satan. At least the group leaders do.

I do look at 70 AD. I just do not elevate it quite as much as you do. I do not mind you keeping an eye on my times I tend to over elevate. There is/can be a list of times that are significant. Noah’s Flood is one. I could compare it with 70 AD, but I just have a mental list and try and learn from the disaster/judgement/discipline times.

Jesus said we could understand a lot using the parable of the sower. A particular event or knowledge may have Relationships with multiple context areas.
DNA in seeds is a book. The Word of God is a book. Pretty easy to see the Bible is the ultimate reality, but to Jesus the seed tells a concealed hidden story. Jesus hid the truth, while actually telling a truth. (Hearing they hear not).

Cloud formations are an old weather forecasting tool. When I say clouds I am looking for the seed=word parallel. Wars and rumors of wars are not the major signs. Clouds (whatever that is) seems important. Something is there.

The first trip through the clouds seems to be for a different motive, than the second trip through the clouds.

Are the clouds the same? Some clouds tell of fair weather. Other clouds tell of a storm coming.

The resurrection and throne judgement contain both blessings and punishment.

Correct. The Satanic Temple is a highly sanitized version of "Satanism;" a non-theistic, philosophical version designed entirely for public consumption, but it fulfills a primary goal which is to sanction open opposition to the God of the Bible and Christian influence in society.

The mission statement does little to conceal it:

"The Mission of the Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense, oppose injustice, and undertake noble pursuits"

Most of that translates as, "Our mission is to sympathize with, encourage and defend everything immoral, while opposing everything the tyrannical Christian God and His followers advocate."

They are trying to work their way increasingly into secular society now. I recently heard they have now opened one of the Satanic Temple abortion clinics they were talking about starting up last year. I posted on it at the time, because we had a female member here who admitted to being a member of the Satanic Temple. I told her that true theistic Satanism (where Satan is actually worshipped and they practice animal and human sacrifice) was far different than some mere secular movement, and how dangerous it therefore was to be identifying with Satanism. She tried downplaying it, but the typical Christian sees right through it. The problem is that non-theistic Satanism tends to resonate with young people because of the rebellious spirit behind it, and by separating the religion from its bloody and sadistic reputation, they make it more accessible for public consumption.

Here is what I was posting on it last year. I don't see any of her posts anymore, possibly because she eventually got banned.

Church Invasions: A Fad Of The Future?

Yes, or at least it has been that way for the last several decades in the US and I doubt anything has changed. In a way, and this will sound strange but it is what's coming to mind, but I feel sorry for Satanists just like I feel sorry for Muslims. They've been presented with a "Christianity"...

Hi Mae, remember when Jesus gave the sign that entered us into the last days that all those things would happen within one generations life span. He will never prove to be wrong maam. True, that generation is quite old, but still here. Jesus said something that helps us to realize that it will appear late, in fact so late some of his born again Christians will leave the faith saying that he is delaying, do you remember this?:
Mt 24:48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth;
Mt 24:49 and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken;
Mt 24:50 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not,

God actually set the time with the first prophecy found at Gen 3:15, and although this world may have extended beyond what we thought it would, the end will come right on time, it will not be late. Hab 2:3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won`t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won`t delay. World English Version

 

[Highway54]

When you get to know me better you'll know my position on this for the last 30 years has consistently been that we have a long ways to go, and there's absolutely no way He will be coming in my lifetime, which is at least another 25 years. I doubt He will return in a hundred, quite frankly, but it all depends on how quickly the pace speeds up. I was just posting the OP to keep track of the slow march we're making towards the time when Jude 1:14-15 is finally fulfilled.


Greetings, Highway 54, and blessings in Christ to you. I have a friend who thinks so as well, in fact she is the one I was including my reply to in Post #2. I had to put it delicately by starting with, "The Antichrist may not have been ushered in yet..." cuz she would consistently fight with me over that issue and I didn't want to set her off, Lol. But she thinks His return is imminent much like you may as well.

Anyway, we each have our own views. I sometimes don't like to share mine directly, because I think the belief that some have that His return is soon actually serves them well, in that it dissuades then from becoming lazy and beginning to engage in sin thinking they have all the time in the world (Matthew 24:28-51).

Be encouraged that the day IS approaching, even if it may still be a ways off just yet. On that much we certainly agree.

Thanks for the post,
Hidden In Him

Thanks for the kind greeting and blessing Hid. It all has to do with if you believe the signs Jesus gave have began or not. As we know with sin comes war, and Jesus in giving the multifaceted sign stated such Mat 24:6, but then he started giving them the signs that would show his disciples when his presence began. The first was a war that would dwarf all the previous wars. WW#1 happened in 1914, I believe it was the fulfillment of that sign. It may be, or not, but most faiths that claim to be Christian do believe we are in the last days of this world, in fact most believe Jesus' return is very close. If that was the fulfillment of that composite sign, then that generation is extremely old, so his return has to be near. Of course like you said it is still opinion, but when the great tribulation breaks out, we will know for sure sir. Great speaking with you! Bob.

My very dear H, What does he say they do? Do they stop believing he’s coming as the problem? No, they start to treat other people badly. That’s the thing he warns against. It is not ceasing to think “any day now” but how one is treating others.

Besides Jesus said no one knows the day or hour and they’ll be no signs at all just like there were no signs before the flood. That’s what he said.

Matt 24:
But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son,bbut the Father only. 37For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Notice that they were all UNAWARE.

God actually set the time with the first prophecy found at Gen 3:15, and although this world may have extended beyond what we thought it would, the end will come right on time, it will not be late.

So how do you deal with Jesus saying “no one knows?”

Can you explain why you think Gen 3:15 says the time please?

Hab 2:3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won`t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won`t delay. World English Version

There were many visions of many events. Why do you think this one is not already past? Daniel talked about visions which are today long ago fulfilled.

Hi H,

Jesus said “this generation” meaning the ones hearing his words. He didn’t say “that generation.” He said the blood of all the prophets would be required of the generation living then. That’s because only that generation crucified the Son of God. No generation since could have done so. And the words were fulfilled before 40 years were done.

That’s my view anyway. You needn’t agree but you might find it interesting.

And they hide what they really believe. Reminds me of the free Masons. Occult means “hidden” which tells us why Jesus taught openly. He said he didn’t teach in secret.

Too soon, Bob, but to each his own.

Btw, my wife would probably like the car you have in your avatar. She always like the red pick up they drove in the 70s sitcom Sanford and Son.

Ok, a shout like “Lazarus, come forth” and a trumpet is heard. No army and no clouds. But I stand corrected, thank you! Won’t be quiet! It’s the Resurrection at last! (Not the destruction of nations nor war nor tribulation ending.)

 

[BB1956]

The Commonwealth Games opened with a somewhat less obvious yet nevertheless Satanic ceremony last year.

A friend posted on this elsewhere when it happened, stating she thought the symbolism could have been celebrating the arrival of the Antichrist. The following was my response:

The Antichrist may not have been ushered in yet, but the ceremony is essentially celebrating his eventual arrival. No one appears to have noticed, but they had Black Sabbath performing during the ceremony (0:41), and the Bull is a long-held symbol of the Satanic religions down throughout history, including modern Satanism itself. The album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was in effect a dedication to the coming of the Antichrist, whom the Satanists refer to as their coming "redeemer." The bull horns on the bed post identified the man in the bed by associating the Antichrist with the Bull, and the front cover depicted his sacrifice prior to being "reborn" as a god.

View attachment 14896

The Bull was likewise the symbol of Moloch, the god the Israelites sacrificed their children to in the fire.

View attachment 14897

The Bull is also one of the primary gods of the Egyptians, from which Satanism borrows heavily, and the symbol of Ba'al Hadad - otherwise referred to in scripture as "Beelzebub" - was equated with Satan himself in scripture.

I suppose some might take offense that this is some slight against jolly old England, but the truth is that the Satanists control the planet, and have for awhile now. That's why you'll see the same types of ceremonies taking place during Super Bowls and other major events worldwide. They are actually very open about it if you know what you are looking at, it's just that most people aren't all that educated on what it is they are seeing.

Movies about demons or evil spirits and violence have been on the increase since world war 1.

They're so brazen in pushing satanism with young children they do it in plain view and claim they're just practicing love and acceptance...

Occult is hidden from view.

Parables (used by Jesus) are about things in clear view and made by God, but hiding higher understanding from the multitudes.

Matthew 13:14 kjv
14. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15. For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with theirheart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
