The Facts About
HALLOWEEN
(Taken from an email I received)
Halloween is a festival where images of witches on broomsticks, black
cats, ghosts, skeletons, and hundreds of other scary images can be seen
everywhere. For many people, Halloween is nothing but a time for scary
fun, dressing in costumes, asking for candy, and making big parties, but
are not concerned about the origins of Halloween and it’s association with
the occult, death, it’s focus on blood, and its effect on their lives.
Halloween originated in northern Europe when Pope Gregory IV in 835 AD,
designated November 1st as “All Saints Day or All Hollow’s Day”, (Hallow
refers to saints) to celebrate saints and martyred saints. Hallows evening
was on October 31, which became a special day celebrated by the ancient
druids, who were magicians, sorcerers, and priestly class of the Celtic
religion. They engaged in occult arts, witchcraft, worship of nature, and
human sacrifice to satisfy their “lord of the dead.” Samhain, the druid’s
New Year (Oct. 31), was believed to be the time when the dividing line
between the living and the dead was the thinnest, making it easier to
contact the spirits. Satanists see Halloween as their holiest day, which
is also the favorite holiday for witches and sorcerers. They all call on
spirits for personal power by meditation, human and animal sacrifices.
Satanists prepare all year for this day so the powers of darkness will be
at work over all the land that night.
Girls are ritually impregnated and their babies are offered as sacrifices
to Satan. All of the supposedly “innocent” Halloween customs and symbols
have their origin in the ancient Celtic day of the dead. For example,
trick or treating is from the Celtic tradition where people gave food to
the spirits of the dead in return for blessings. Not supplying treats
would return in demonic retaliation. Jack-o-lanterns came from the Celtic
tradition of carving faces of demonic spirits on turnips, and later, on
pumpkins as a symbol of a dammed soul. Candle light pumpkins or skulls at
a home signified that the occupants were sympathetic of Satan and would
receive mercy by spirits in trick or treaters. This means that wherever
you have them you are welcoming demons into that place, even in church.
Bone fires took place with human sacrifices at midnight. Adults and
children would be thrown into a huge fire while celebrants danced around
them in demonic feast. By morning, all was that
was left was ashes and bones. The broomsticks and witches hats were
originally considered phallic symbols. When used in rituals of witchcraft,
these objects supposedly transformed the sexual energy released during
orgasm into psychic energy. Dunking apples was a part of the druid new
year, divination of gender in pregnant women. The druids also believed
black cats were reincarnation of the evil dead, and possessed supernatural
power and knowledge, and this is why black cats are such an important part
of Halloween.
Halloween is not an innocent celebration. Babies, children, adults, and
animals will be sacrificed on that night while many Christians who lack
the knowledge, or do not fear God will enjoy the parties and trick or
treating. God said in Deuteronomy 18:9-13 that whoever practices
divination, sorcery, or communicating with the dead is detestable to the
Lord. (Also see: Deuteronomy 18:10-12; 2 Kings 21:6; Micah 5:12; Isaiah
47:12; Ezekiel 13:18, 20; Acts 8:11-24; Leviticus 20:27; Exodus 7:11;
Revelation 9:21; 22:15). ICorinthians:10:18-21 tells us you cannot drink
of the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too. You may not be wearing
scary customs on that day or be a cult member, but if you celebrate
Halloween in any way, you are spiritually participating in the killings
and rituals that take place during Halloween night, and you are opening
doors to demonic powers in your life and family. You cannot separate
Halloween from the spirit realm. I Peter 5:8,9 tells us the
devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom he may devour. As
Christians we need to come together and pray that God may save and spare
the lives of all those children appointed to die. Matthew 12:30 says, “He
who is not with me is against me”. Luke 16:13 says we cannot serve two
masters. Revelation 2:18 and Galatians 5:20-21 tells what the punishment
for those who practice the occult will be. I John 4:1,2 say that we are to
test all spirits to see if they are of God and I John 2:15 says that we
are not to love the world or the things in the world; halloween is of the
world and not of God.
Congress has been trying to pass laws to protect our children from so
much violence exposure on TV, movies, music, games, etc, yet we think that
once a year it’s ok to celebrate demonic holidays, blood shedding, and
horror. Don’t you think this defeats the whole purpose of sheltering our
children and us from such violence? Instilling fear in our children will
bring much damage to them for life, besides, God said that He has not
given a spirit of fear, but of power, and love and a sound mind (2 Timothy
1:7). Do you stand for holidays that sacrifice human babies in honor of
Satan in that day? If you are against groups like the Nazis, KKK, etc, why
is this holiday any different? Please use logic! Hosea 4:6 says “MY people
are destroyed for they lack knowledge.” By understanding the origins of
Halloween, we are not ignorant anymore. As parents, we must decide whether
or not to allow or children to participate in pagan occult celebrations,
which glorify the powers of darkness.
God offers us eternal life through his son, Jesus Christ. If you believe
his death and resurrection is payment in full for your sins, and invite
him to come into your heart, you will have eternal life (John 3:3,16;
Romans10:9). His word reveals to us his plan, for the Bible is the word of
God, the mind of God, the plan of God, and the purpose of God for your
life! Jesus loves you, accept him in you heart today.
