THE TRUTH ABOUT HALLOWEEN A HELL OF A HOLIDAY
THE BIBLE SAYS
“HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WORTHLESS PRACTICES OF EVIL AND DARKNESS. INSTEAD, REBUKE AND EXPOSE THEM FOR THE EVIL THAT THEY REALLY ARE!” (EPHESIANS 5:11)
IF HALLOWEEN DOESN’T REPRESENT THE WORTHLESS PRACTICES OF EVIL, WHAT DOES?
SINCE IT’S INCEPTION, HALLOWEEN HAS BEEN THE ANNUAL CELEBRATION HELD IN HONOR OF THE DEMON PRINCE OF DEATH, SAMHEIN!
Druids, witches, Satanists, and occult practitioners of virtually every description observe Halloween as the crowning celebration of their calendar year
Halloween is the ancient, occultic celebration in honor of Samhein (Samhain), the demonic Spirit-Prince of Death. For centuries, Samhein has been celebrated in gruesome rituals that honor all that is morbid and evil. Tragically, many Americans look past the painfully obvious occultic trappings of Halloween, insisting that they only celebrate it “for the fun of it!”
Unfortunately, a huge part of that fun centers around the promotion of the evil, the macabre, and the morbid! In our neighborhood, one enthusiast has decorated his house in the traditional “Halloween spirit” (perhaps literally!) complete with a bloody, beheaded corpse, “wicked witch,” nightmarish beings, vampires, and open co ns! Everything evil! Everything morbid! Everything… in the spirit of the holiday… the demonic spirit Samhein – dread Lord of Death! Now, honestly… what’s fun about that?!?
To some who still enjoy the bliss of ignorance, they may imagine that candy-seeking kids are una ected by all of this overt occultic influence, but they aren’t.
THOSE SEEMINGLY HARMLESS HALLOWEEN GAMES ALL HAVE RICH OCCULTIC SIGNIFICANCE
LET’S NOT BE SUCKED INTO THIS CELEBRATION OF BLATANT EVIL IN THE NAME OF HARMLESS FUN!
Jack-o-lanterns have long represented the spirits of the dead, and originally were placed by terrified farmers as an overture of peace to placate the druids during this dread season.
Likewise, the “Trick or Treat” tradition was the druids Mafia-style exploitation by intimidation program. If the country folk weren’t willing to leave a present of sorts out for them, the druids would call on the spirits of hell to terrorize them for their lack of co-operation in their morbid celebration!
Bobbing for apples was an integral part of their debauched orgies, as well as a gruesome sport that exploited the victims abducted as blood sacrifices to Samhein. If the victim was able to pull an apple from a boiling cauldron with his teeth, he was released to return to town as a pitifully disfigured monster, usually blind and deaf from his plunge into the boiling vat. The losers of this demented game paid with their lives, as their blood was spilled in the heinous festivities and their bodies fueled the “bonefires” that burned into the morning hours.
Is it any wonder then, that Halloween is such a hellish holiday?
Please! Teach your kids to take a stand for what’s good, honorable, and wholesome, and to “not be overcome by evil, but instead OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD.” (Romans 12:21)
WE CAN HAVE ALL THE GOOD WITHOUT COMPROMISING WITH EVIL!
WE CAN COMMEMORATE THE FALL HARVEST SEASON WITH HAPPY CELEBRATIONS, FAMILY FEASTS, HOT CHOCOLATE, PUMPKIN PIES, AND LOTS OF FUN TOGETHER WITHOUT "HONORING SAMHEIN" - THE DREAD LORD OF DEATH AND MAYHEM! WE CAN HONOR WHAT IS GOOD AND VIRTUOUS WITHOUT PUTTING EVIL ON DISPLAY AT OUR HOMES, CHURCHES, AND SCHOOLS! WE CAN (AND SHOULD) "TAKE NO PART IN THE WORTHLESS DEEDS OF EVIL AND DARKNESS; BUT INSTEAD, EXPOSE THEM!" (EPHESIANS 5:11)
LET’S CELEBRATE OUR FREEDOM FROM THE POWERS OF EVIL, RATHER THAN PARTICIPATING IN THIS HELLISH HOLIDAY! “HALLOWEEN”
FOR GOODNESS SAKE, DON’T PROMOTE THIS YEAR’S “SAMHEIN CELEBRATION” BY YOUR PARTICIPATION!
THE REALLY GOOD NEWS:
THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HAS FREED US FROM HELL AND DEATH! (ROMANS 8:2)
