The Rise Of Satanism In The Last Days

The covenant does not end until it is fulfilled Dot Luke 22:30
I don’t see That that scripture says that the mosaic covenant isn’t over. The Mosaic covenant was over as they refused to fulfill the conditions which is a part of the covenant. There were conditions.
Now I understand why you believe it was fulfilled in the first century. I researched it a bit, and there is a controversy among authorities as to the date of the writing of it. I am glad you and I agree that the horses parallel the initial signs given by Jesus, But since the date is not determined, I fully understand why you think as you do, but just find it illogical. Why? Because the world is continuing, and the Kingdom has not came.
There is no reason the natural world shall end. I find it illogical to think the planet will be nuked and all life ended. What joy does that bring Him? What is accomplished? No problem righteousnesses is accomplished by nuking the planet. I find that illogical.

That dating of Revelation is mainly in dispute by futurists. They have a huge stake in it.

Now punishing the servants who killed the son makes sense. Ending the mosaic covenant with its animal sacrifices makes sense. (No one is doing that today.) That God dwells in man instead of a building makes sense. So I think my position makes sense. But I am biased.
Do you recognize that those signs Jesus gave were about the time he would be given the crown?
That’s in the past and I do recognize them. “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ.”
You must Rev 6:2. Do you recognize the rider of the white horse as being the King Jesus?
Likely. He came and executed justice on those who murdered him. He is on the throne ruling and reigning. The whole world has changed since the resurrection. But it’s not a violent bloody attack like the Russians. It’s the sword of the mouth (Word) defeating evil. The belief that Jesus will violently attack the world in a bloody takeover does not match how God does things. It does, apparently, match what the Pharisees taught.
 
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.

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.

The Bull at the 2022 Birmingham games has nothing to do with Satanism.
There is a famous shopping centre in Birmingham called the Bullring (or Bull Ring). It has been a market since the 12th century.
The Bull Ring got its name from its history of bull-baiting and slaughter.

Around 1160, a charter granted the Lord of the Manor of Berm, Peter de Bermingham, permission to hold a weekly market at his moated manor where he levied tolls on the goods and produce sold. This was on the site which now the Bull Ring.

First called the 'Corn Cheaping' in reference to the corn market, the Bull Ring referred to a green within the market.

The 'ring' part of the location's current name refers to a hoop of iron, to which bulls were tied for baiting before slaughter.

In the 16th century, bear-baiting became a popular 'sport'. It involved spectators at the Bull Ring watching dogs attack a defenceless bull and some wrongly believed it tenderised the meat.

Bull-baiting stopped at the Bull Ring in 1798 when it moved to Handsworth, but the site kept its now famous name.

(Why is it called the Bullring?)

Understand, Mungo, they are constantly preparing explanations of why they do things as a form of cover, just in case they raise too much suspicion or public outcry. This is standard practice with Satanism and has been for centuries.

Black Sabbath has plenty to do with Satanism, and they were not invited to perform merely by coincidence.

Of course you are always right.
But personally I prefer truth to conspiracy theories.

I agree, but not for the same reason. The law was a tutor to the Christ.

The earth abideth forever Dot Ecc 1:4

When do you think Jesus received the crown?

Lengthy subject maam, but in a nutshell, at this time satan has went forth to the kings of the earth to gather them together to battle with God's forces when they come Rev 16:14-16. When God sends His forces they will remove all who do not know God or obey the gospel 2 Thes 1:6-9; Ps 37:9-11. All earthly kingdoms will be crushed, and God's Kingdom established Dan 2:44; Mat 6:10. The good news of the Kingdom is what we preach, and is our assignment Dot.
 
It's happening in Brazil as well. I used to think it was Christians overreacting. But maybe there is something to it.


Wow... they're not playing around in Rio De Janeiro any more, are they...

I could explain a bunch more, but I'd rather not. The simple fact that they are celebrating Satan crucifying Christ -in public now - pretty much says it all. That's a Satanist thing. In private they take people and sacrifice them for real, dressing them up as "Christ" to mock the power of the Lord, and make believe like Satan is the greater "god."
 
Riven and the people are so blind to see what's happening...

Even the Satanists themselves are blind, brother, and in some ways I feel truly sorry for them. Going back to the Sam Hill performance at the Grammies, Satan still deludes people into thinking they are "gods" when it is just a lie meant to seduce them into Hell for eternity.

I recall a line in Dio's song Last In Line, "We'll know for the first time, if we're evil or divine. We're the last in line." He was talking about finally finding out the truth after death, and was playing off the Biblical theme of "the first shall be last, and the last shall be first," only he was deceived. He has gone on to his reward now, and knows he was nothing more than a man who was deceived into thinking he was divine.

There is a testimony in A Divine Revelation Of Hell that speaks about this (actually a couple of them), but it spoke about the wicked finding out the real truth only after it was too late.

Speaking of what she witnessed when taken to hell in Spirit (and this is extended, but goes to point):

As far as I could see, the cells seemed to be in an endless circle. There was a single soul in each cell. Moans, wails, sighs and groans came from the cells as we walked past them. We had not walked far when Jesus stopped in front of another cell. As we looked in, a light came on. (Jesus made the light.) I stood and looked at a soul that I knew was in great torment! It was another woman, and she was a blue-gray color. Her flesh was dead, and the parts that had decayed were falling off the bones. Her bones were all burned to a deep black, and she had on bits and pieces of ragged clothes. Worms were crawling out of her flesh and bones. A dirty odor filled the cell.

Like the woman before, she too was sitting in a rocking chair. She was holding a rag doll. And as she rocked, she cried and held the rag doll to her chest. Great sobs shook her body, and wailing cries came from the cell. Jesus told me, "She also was a servant of Satan. She sold her soul to him, and while she was j alive, she practiced every kind of evil. Witchcraft is real," said Jesus. "This woman taught and practiced witchcraft and turned many toward the path of sin. Those who were teachers of witchcraft received special attention and a greater amount of power from satan than those who simply practiced it. She was a soothsayer, a diviner and a medium for her master. She gained great favor with Satan for all the evil she committed. She knew how to use the powers of darkness for herself and for Satan. She went to devil-worship services and praised Satan. She was a powerful woman for him."

I wondered how many souls she had deceived for Satan. I looked at this bony shell of a soul, crying over a rag doll -just a dirty piece of cloth. Sorrow filled my heart, and tears filled my eyes. She held tightly to the rag doll as if it could help her, or perhaps she could help it. The smell of death filled the place. Then I saw her begin to change like the other woman. She was first an old woman in the 1930's and then a young woman of today. Time after time, she made this fantastic transformation right before our eyes. "This woman," said Jesus, "was the equivalent of a preacher for Satan. Just as the true gospel is preached to us by a real minister, so Satan has his counterfeit ministers. She had the strongest kind of satanic power, one which she was required to sell her soul to receive. Satan's evil gifts are like the opposite side of the coin to the spiritual gifts I bestow upon believers. This is the power of darkness. These workers of Satan work in the occult, the witchcraft shops, as palm readers, and in many other ways... Many people give their souls to Satan. They choose to serve him instead of Me. Their choice is death unless they repent of their sins and call upon Me. I am faithful, and I will save them from their sins. Many also sell their souls to Satan thinking they will live forever. But they will die a horrible death. Satan still thinks he can overthrow God and disrupt God's plan, but he was defeated at the cross. I took the keys away from him, and I have all power in heaven and in earth.
After this woman died, she went straight to Hell. The demons brought her before Satan, where in anger she asked why the demons had control over her, for on earth she thought she controlled them. There they had done her bidding. She also asked Satan for the kingdom he had promised her. Satan kept on lying to her even after her death on earth. He said that he would restore her to life and use her for his purposes again. By deceit, she had gotten him many souls, so his lies sounded reasonable to her. But at the last, Satan laughed and scorned her. He told her, 'I deceived you and used you all those years. I will never give you my kingdom.'"

The devil waved his arms at the woman, and it seemed that her flesh was being ripped from her bones. She screamed in pain as a large black book was brought for Satan. He opened it and ran his finger down the pages till he found her name. "Oh, yes," Satan said, "you did serve me well on earth. You brought me more than 500 souls." He lied, and said to her, "Your punishment will not be as bad as the others." A cackle of evil laughter rang out. Satan stood and pointed a finger at the woman, and a great wind arose and filled the place. A sound like howling thunder rose from him. "Ha-ha," said the devil, "get your kingdom if you can." Then an unseen force slammed her to the ground. "You are going to serve me here also," Satan laughed as she tried to get up. The woman screamed in pain as the flesh continued to be ripped from her bones by demons. She was dragged back to this cage. She remembered Satan's promises. He told her she would have all power. He told her she would never die. He told her he had power over life and death, and she had believed him. She was told that Satan could stop anything from killing her. Satan told her many lies and promised her many things. Jesus said, "I came to save all men. I desire that all who are lost will repent and call upon My name. It is not My will that any should perish, but have everlasting life. Sad to say, most will not repent of their sins before they die, and they will go to Hell. But the way to Heaven is the same for all people. You must be born again to enter the kingdom of God. You must come to the Father in My name and repent of your sins. You must sincerely give your heart to God and serve Him. (Baxter, P.90-94)


 
Hidden In Him I agree. They think Christians are not kind or respectful but then also be disrespectful and mean. I've met unkind Christians and it didnt make any sense until now.

Not everyone you meet will be a kind and respectful person no matter their beliefs. All you can do is pray for them and continue focusing on yourself.
 

Satanists bring their abortion extremism to Boston for 'SatanCon'; Christians respond

By Nicole Alcindor, CP Reporter

As the Satanic Temple kicks off what is billed to be the largest gathering of Satanists in history this weekend in Boston, one pro-life leader warns about the "connection between Satanism and abortion" as churches are bracing for the influx of Satanists in the city.

Known as SatanCon 2023, hundreds are slated to gather between Friday and Sunday for a sold-out event hosted by a group known for making fun of Christians and theologically conservative beliefs.

Many of those gathered are likely to display their support for abortion as the Santinic Temple promotes what it calls abortion rituals and has filed legal challenges against state restrictions on legal access to abortion, arguing that abortion is a religious right.

Priests for Life National Director Frank Pavone said in an interview with The Christian Post that while many attendees will deny that they are coming together to worship Satan, he was "very sensitive to the connection between Satanism and abortion."

"These Satanists who are gathering will claim that they do not worship the devil. In fact, they will claim that they do not even believe in a personal spiritual being called the Devil or Satan," Pavone said.

"Anything that even appears to be worship of the devil or being elite with the devil is dangerous stuff because the devil is real."

Held at the Boston Marriott Copley Place, SatanCon 2023 will feature discussions on topics like "Re-imaging Lilith as an Archetype for Reproductive Justice," "Sins of the Flesh: Satanism and Self-Pleasure," "Reclaiming the Trans Body: A/theistic Strategies" and "Deconstructing Your Religious Upbringing."

Pavone also told CP that "historically, child sacrifice is very much connected with Satanism and worship of demons," noting that examples can be found "even in Scripture."

"In the Old Testament, there are many passages that talk about how the Israelites and nations around them would at times sacrifice their children to demons, and this was one of the reasons God punished them quite severely," Pavone said.

"In a deeper spiritual sense, what we believe about the devil is that he hates God and he knows he cannot kill God. So he does the next best thing in his mind, which is to kill what is made in the image of God, which is human life. So we see the devil as wanting violence against human beings. It's a form of rebellion against the One who created them."

As some Christian groups will be present in Boston with the purpose of evangelizing to SatanCon attendees, Pavone believes there is potential for SatanCon attendees to have their hearts changed by the Gospel, especially when presented with the realities of abortion.

"If there are some people there, gathered for this conference, who have an open mind, who have an open heart, who are willing to let the truth guide them away from where they are now, there can certainly be conversions," Pavone said.

A Christian event called "ReviveBoston" is also planned in Boston this weekend, with organizers calling for thousands of Christians to overcome evil by gathering for worship, prayer and evangelizing the city.

ReviveBoston will be spearheaded by Jaymz Sideras, a revivalist from London. Sideras and his evangelism team plan to preach God’s Word to the city, while also baptizing as many people as they can at the event.

The Catholic Archdiocese of Boston announced that it will open several churches throughout the weekend for prayer and adoration.

"We ask Catholics not to organize or encourage others to go to the event to protest," the announcement reads. "It will only make it more prominent and give the organizers the attention they seek. Rather than protesting in person, we hope to storm the Heavens with prayer from our shrines, monasteries, and parishes."

The declining Christian population in the U.S. over the last several decades has coincided with a rise in individuals who don't identify with any religion. Since its founding in 2012, the Satanic Temple claims to have grown to over 700,000 members.

Pavone warned that Christians planning to evangelize at SatanCon need to be careful of the potential schemes of the enemy to try to lead them astray.

He also advised newer Christians to avoid the conference altogether to avoid becoming confused about what they believe since "going into a satanic conference has its own characteristics and its own dangers."

"Christians who are going to do that really have to have a higher level of spiritual preparation. They have to be very, very familiar with the dynamics of how the devil works, the dynamics of spiritual battle. They have to be very close to Christ," Pavone said.

"They have to take extra steps. In other words, they need to be spiritually fortified, if they're actually going to go into a conference like that. So I would not be opposed to it in any way. But I would just caution that it does require extra spiritual preparation."

Pavone warned, "The devil is always prowling like a lion looking for someone to devour." He stressed that "the devil is present at these gatherings, whether the people gathering want to explicitly say that or not."

"Here's the thing about Satanism, it arouses curiosity. Even people who are not looking to get into any spiritual trouble can be captivated just by the curiosity of it all. They can really get trapped by it," he added.

"The devil really doesn't care if people worship him or not. All he wants is that they do not worship the true God, Jesus. What we have to realize is that, you know, these kinds of things can arouse that kind of curiosity."

 
"Here's the thing about Satanism, it arouses curiosity.
So does literally anything else. Is this the message that Christians want to send out to the rest of the world? That we can't even withstand an opposing opinion without crumbling into dust? I thought you wore the armor of God? To have it so easily defeated by mere curiosity is quite the admission indeed.

Nobody's even so much as laying a finger on my armor, Lol.

I will post what I find of this convention here.
