Title:  FOCUS ON THE FAMILY CONTINUES TO TAKE FOLLOWERS INTO THE ABYSS AS IT URGES CHRISTIANS TO "REDEEM HALLOWEEN"! Part 3 of 3 -- CROSSING GOD'S LINE - USING SAME CURSED OBJECTS OF EVIL AS THE PAGANS!

Subtitle: If these authors were re-creating a completely Christian holiday for us to celebrate on the same day as the pagans, that might not be so bad as to warrant our large outcry. However, they are encouraging you to use the same cursed objects pagans have used, telling you that you can "share the Gospel" through these pagan objects. This is "syncretism" at its worst, is forbidden in Scripture, and crosses God's line of Judgment.

The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!!

Since this article is the last in a series of three, let us take a moment to review the first two articles on this most spiritually unfortunate appeal from Focus On The Family to "Redeem Halloween", taking back a celebration supposedly originally Christian.

Part One -- After telling parents it is all right for them to read Harry Potter to their children and after publishing a book entitled, "Finding God In Lord of the Rings", Dr. Dobson continues his free-fall into the Abyss by telling his followers they can participate in Halloween, because it was a "Christian" holiday whose roots can be traced to the "foot of the cross"! The major premise of this book, and of the Focus On The Family radio interview tape, is that Halloween was a "Christian Church" holiday that needs now to be "redeemed" by today's genuine Christian. What you are never told is that the "Christian" fountainhead of Halloween described in this book is Roman Catholicism.

Through this deceitful method, the reader is encouraged to place faith in the actions taken by unregenerate Popes and the terribly wicked Roman Catholic Church. Once a Christian begins to participate in Halloween, they will discover a common bond with practicing Catholics -- and pagans and Satan worshippers. One tactic used by the Roman Catholic Church to bring truckloads of paganism into the church is recommended highly by Focus On The Family as a "previously successful strategy of claiming" the Satanism as their own; according to this strategy, the Pope would conduct a Mass, say a prayer, and declare the heinous occult object as "Christian". We examined some of the key occult doctrines and practices which the Roman Church has brought into her bosom using this most unbiblical and diabolical method.

Ecumenism -- The world is rapidly moving toward the establishment of a global church, whose doctrines are so broad that people all over the world can participate. Narrow, exclusive-minded Christians have no place in this new church. This book encourages Christians to abandon Biblical principle so they can participate in this most wicked of holidays.

Black Magick Witchcraft -- Daniel 8:23-25 describes the religion of Antichrist, and it is Black Magick Witchcraft. Halloween is the ultimate celebration of Black Magick Witchcraft. Therefore, even as global events demonstrate how rapidly the world is getting to the actual appearance of Antichrist, Dr. Dobson suddenly pops up to encourage Christians to participate in Black Magick Halloween. Thus, when Antichrist really steps on the world scene, people who consider themselves to be Christian will be pre-disposed to accept the Man of Perdition because they have already accepted his High Holy Sabbat (Halloween).

Part Two -- "Committing The Sin of Aaron" - We studied this "Redeeming Halloween" book further, realizing that several critical aspects are totally without Biblical foundation. In particular, the Biblical concept of "Redeeming" is totally misrepresented -- twisted beyond belief -- in this book. We realized that the blood of Jesus was intended to redeem individual sinners, but never pagan worship systems, thus catching Focus On The Family trying to thoroughly deceive her loyal followers.

Secondly, we realized that this argument to redeem Halloween is the same situation which we find in Exodus 32, where Aaron had built a golden calf. Once you realize the similarities between the sin of Aaron and this idea of "Redeeming Halloween", you will realize that you are being encourage to commit the "Sin of Aaron" by a ministry you have come to trust.

Now, let us finish this task God has given us. We shall finish our examination of the errors contained within this book and then turn our attention fully to what the Bible has to say about cozying up to a holiday based upon the most severe Black Magick Witchcraft imaginable.

FINAL EXAMINATION OF "REDEEMING HALLOWEEN"

"Halloween can actually be a part of that process through the fun of trick-or-treating ... One story holds that the tricking element began in Ireland, on what became known as 'mischief night'. People would wander the town dressed in costumes, tipping over outhouses, unhinging fence gates and engaging in other pranks ... there is nothing inherently evil about trick-or-treating." {"Redeeming Halloween", Wier & McCune, p. 26-27]

These authors need to research the occult roots of Halloween, for then they might not be so quick to say that there in nothing inherently evil about trick-or-treating. Listen to Christian authors as they report their research into Halloween generally and trick-or-treating specifically.

"In order to please Samhain [October 31], the Druids held cruel fire rites. Prisoners of war, criminals, or animals were burned alive in odd-shaped baskets. By observing the way they died, the Druids saw omens of the future, good or bad ..." ["Halloween and Satanism", by Phil Phillips and Joan Hake Robie]

This next segment captures the essence of the true Black Magick origins of Trick-or-Treat, and it explains the Chick tract we show in Part 1.

"The evening of October 31st we see many young children going from door to door calling Trick or Treat, not knowing that such a ritual was practiced by the druids and their followers in medieval times. The druids went from castle to castle doing exactly the same thing [in a different way]. They also demanded a Treat; however, this demand was for a young woman who could be offered as a human sacrifice in a satanic ritual. The druids were known as men of Oak and they demanded blood sacrifices. These men were so controlled by satanic forces [commonly called possessed] that they had strange and frightening powers.

"The celebration of Samhain was the great Sabbath for the druids during the night of the October 31st. On that day [ Halloween ] in the middle of the night the druids and their disciples were going from castle to castle to play their evil " games ". They were requesting from the residents that they should give them a princess or an other woman [virgin by preference] and she was to become a human sacrifice offered to their idol [one of Satan's demons ]. Blood is believed to provide power and life and therefore plays a central part in ritualistic sacrifices; might have to drink the blood of these people, as they say to have more power, or to become immortal ,,," (Ibid.)

If you do not believe these Christian authors, listen to an occult source:

"If the sacrifice would please the druids , they would put a lantern at the door of the house. The lantern had a resemblance to a human face, and inside was a candle burning that was made from human grease. This was to prevent the family from being cursed and to be killed by demons [that was their Treat ] . Then they would be playing and chanting during that night and they were to offer their victim to their god [one of Satan's demons]. When someone was unable to give what the druids were requesting they were to draw a pentagram [this is, and still is an occult symbol, it's a star with 5 edges, and 2 of them pointing upward] on the door of the house so that during the night satan and his demons were to kill someone of that family by fear [that was their trick ]."

"That was their way of saying 'Trick or Treat'. So if you would give (the human sacrifice from your family) that they wanted, they would put a lantern (later called: "Jack-O-Lantern") so that the spirits would not harm you (according to their belief that was their Treat ). On the contrary, if you would not give them what they requested, they would draw a pentagram (this is what the Satanists will wear, the Christians wear a cross, but the Satanists wear a pentagram ) on your front door (that was their Trick, cursing the house). ["Trick or Treat", http://www.iquebec.ifrance.com/MYHalloween/2_Trick%20or%20Treat.htm ]

This is THE true story of the origins of Halloween. The "treat" was the member of the household the Druid priests wanted for human sacrifice; the "trick" was the Black Magick Death curse they would put on the entire household if the father refused to give up one of his children to be sacrificed. The "Lantern" ("Jack-)-Lantern") was placed on the doorstep to indicate to any other Druid priests and demonic spirits that this father had complied with the original demand, so that additional parties would not demand yet another sacrifice from him that night. This lantern was filled with the human fat of previous sacrifices; into the human fat, the priest would place the candle wick.

In the "Redeeming Halloween" book, the authors tell a story of "Old Jack" and his deal with the Devil. After telling a sanitized version, the authors tell us that we should all learn a "moral lesson" from the story. Let us quickly review the story of Old Jack and his "Jack-O-Lantern" from the side of the occult, so you can determine whether a Christian should be participating in a holiday whose origins are so deeply devilish.

"... you had a light in a turnip, that was the spirit that was to protect yourself and your household from the other evil spirits that were set 'loose' on that night. The druid priests would also go from house to house demanding food, and if they were given none, they would speak a demonic curse over the household to cause someone to die within the next year. They (hollowed) out on the inside with a demonic face carved in the front. The light from the candle inside represented their ‘familiar spirit' known as Jock, on whom they depended for their power and knowledge. His spirit would carry out their curse upon the household. When this custom was brought to America , instead of turnips, pumpkins were used. The spirit which inhabited the pumpkin was called 'Jock' thus we have Jack of the lantern or Jack 0'Lantern. The Webster's dictionary definition of the Jack-O-Lantern is " a lantern made of a pumpkin cut out like a human face. " So the pumpkin's face represents the demon (or spirit as they would call it) that live on the inside of that pumpkin."

Thus, the face of the Jack-O-Lanterns is the face of the demonic spirit, called "Jock", or "Jack", who carried out a curse on the household if the father did not give up one of his children -- preferably a young virgin daughter -- to be ritualistically sacrificed. [http://www.myhalloween.org/Index_English.htm]

Once again, the authors of "Redeeming Halloween" tell you a half-truth about the origins of Trick-or-Treating, dating it from an Irish tradition in the early 1800's. What they do not tell you is that these more innocent ways of Trick-or-Treating came from these gruesome Satanic origins. Do you want your children shouting "Trick-or-Treat" at house after house, knowing they are following in the footsteps of Druid Priests who were out demanding young human sacrifice with this phrase?

What Would Jesus Do? Do you think He would approve of sharing the Gospel through such a wicked, demonic method?

Costumes

"Certainly, every child likes to play dress up ... Simply by changing the focus when your children pick out costumes, you can change their focus to the needs of the spiritually lost ... we let our children dress like any character they want, as long as it represents a group they want to tell about Jesus ... dressing like Elvis represents rock stars who need Jesus. A football character ... represents those living without Jesus in the sports culture. Last year, Bailey and Hannah were Ninjas and prayed for the lost in Asia. Madison was a 1920's flapper and she prayed for the lost who hide in the darkness of dance clubs." [Wier & McCune, p. 27]

Now, wait one minute! This Christian mother is allowing her daughter to dress like a 1920's dance hall girl as she goes out to Trick-or-Treat? What kind of Christian, Jesus-honoring action is this? The neighbors are likely to not realize why this young lady is dressed in a style which was considered brazen and worldly in the 1920's when it was popular. Even Kim Wier tells us that she realizes exactly where this inappropriate dress originates -- dance clubs.

Listen to the following explanation of a "flapper girl" at the extreme left and "flapper_costume" at the extreme right]

"The flapper... was the heroine of the Jazz Age. With short hair and a short skirt, with turned-down hose and powdered knees - the flapper must have seemed to her mother ... like a rebel. No longer confined to home and tradition, the typical flapper was a young woman who was often thought of as a little 'fast' and maybe even a little brazen. Mostly, the flapper offended the older generation because she defied conventions of acceptable feminine behavior. The flapper was 'modern'. Traditionally, women's hair had always been worn long. The flapper wore it short, or bobbed. She used make-up (which she might well apply in public). And the flapper wore baggy dresses which often exposed her arms as well as her legs from the knees down. However, flappers did more than symbolize a revolution in fashion and mores - they embodied the modern spirit of the Jazz Age." ["Flapper Culture & Style", The Jazz Age, http://www.geocities.com/flapper_culture/]

Therefore, the flapper dress symbolized the following rebellious and immoral behavior:

1) Short skirt revealing much more of her body than was considered acceptable in that era

2) The flapper girl was considered rebellious - What does the Bible say? "Rebellion is as witchcraft" (1 Samuel 15:23)

3) She defied conventions of acceptable feminine behavior - This manner of living goes along with rebelliousness and dressing revealingly

4) She used make-up - in the 1920's, "good" girls frowned at make-up, which was considered to be used only by harlots

This kind of dress for a Christian young lady going Trick-or-Treating is totally unacceptable. If Kim Wier and Pam McCune have this much of a Liberal mindset, how can we trust them on anything else they might say in this awful book? Keep this in mind, for later in this awful book, these authors will actually tell you to find "good qualities" in the sacred Satanic death objects which have traditionally been used in Halloween!

Miscellaneous Halloween Elements

"Each student (or group) is given one Halloween 'creature' to discover some facts about: bats, spiders, skeletons, black cats, pumpkins, witches, ghosts, goblins, werewolves, vampires, or mummies. On the day of the party, the student or group will share the good qualities of their creature." (Wier & McCune, p. 100)

What kind of "good" can anyone conceive about bats, spiders, skeletons, black cats, pumpkins, vampires, werewolves, witches, ghosts, goblins? This suggestion is totally ridiculous and totally devoid of Common Sense, much less Christian discernment.

Before we get started, let us examine the broader picture of what Halloween has always meant to the Satanist.

"Masks, costumes, decorations, skulls, skeletons, which mean the same thing as ghosts and creatures of the night, all are reminders that Halloween is a celebration of the dead ... From earliest times, people all over the world have worn masks for all sorts of reasons ... They hoped that the demons who had brought the disaster would see the mask and think they were demons too, and be frightened off. In many primitive societies, a mask was ... a link with the world of the spirits, a channel by which men could tap the forces of the supernatural

{"Halloween and Satanism", Phillips and Robie, p. 52, 46)

Did you catch that pertinent phrase? "Masks, costumes, decorations, skulls, skeletons, which mean the same thing as ghosts and creatures of the night". In other words, a person wearing a costume symbolically becomes the very creature he is portraying! When you are tempted to allow your children to dress up in occult, death costumes, remember this fact.

Let us quickly review each of these creatures to see exactly what their original place was in the occult Halloween tradition. Only then can you determine the "good" your child can find in each of them. We are addressing the issue raised in the first sentence of this section: Encouraging the Christian child to discover the "good" in "bats, spiders, skeletons, black cats, pumpkins, witches, ghosts, goblins, werewolves, vampires, or mummies" is pure nonsense and may actually be construed as an encouragement to Witchcraft.

* Bats -- "The bat has taken on some of the significance of both the bird (symbol of the soul) and the demon (dweller in darkness). In medieval times, it was thought that the Devil often assume the shape of a bat. The bat became, not only the totem animal of the men in an aboriginal tribe in New South Wales, but also their sex symbol .. On occasion, bats have been honored with the status of gods." (Op. Cit, Philips, Robie, p. 44-45)

What "good" can your Christian child discover about bats at Halloween?

* Goblins -- "Goblins and fairies, ugly, menacing little creatures who were believed to live underground or in dark places, had their origin in the pre-Celtic past. Like leprechauns, brownies and pixies, they stand for the evil spirits that were once thought to be present at the Vigil of Samhain and later on, the eve of Halloween." (Ibid.)

What "good" can your Christian child discover about goblins at Halloween?

* Ghosts -- Ghosts are thought by some to be spirit apparitions through which the souls of dead persons are said to manifest themselves. To others, a ghost is a demon spirit which has been unleashed by Satan to live in a certain environment." (Ibid., p. 50)

What "good" can your Christian child discover about ghosts at Halloween? We know that a ghost must be a demon masquerading as a returned human spirit, for the Bible says that when a person dies, "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." [Eccl 12:7]

Therefore, it is manifestly impossible for a ghost to be the spirit of a departed human, for that spirit is firmly in God's grasp, for eternity -- either in Heaven or Hell. What "good" can come of your child dressing up as a demonic spirit?

* Witches -- A female who has given her soul to Satan during a coven initiation ceremony is called a "Witch"; a male who has done the same thing is called a "Wizard". Witches and Wizards have one overwhelming desire, and that is to hold the power of Satan within their hands and to use it on earth to gain power over people and events. Listen to this desire being expressed by one of the most powerful witches in the 20th Century, 33° Freemason, Manly P. Hall:

"When the Mason learns the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands, and before he may step onward and upward, he must prove his ability to properly apply energy." [Manly P. Hall, Masonic author, "The Lost Keys of Freemasonry" , p. 48; Emphasis added]

Can you see the abominable encouragement these Focus On The Family authors are giving their readers by encouraging them to "find the good" in Witches?

* Black Cats -- Did you know that occultists believe that a black cat is a "familiar spirit" of a witch? Listen:

"Even though a cat serving as a witch's 'familiar' could be any color, as time went on, a witch's cat was thought of as being black. When a cat was found guilty of being a witch's 'familiar' it was killed along with the witch. Black cats were believed by some to be symbols of the evil (familiar) spirits that embody animals." [Op. Cit., Phillips, Robie, p. 44)

What is a 'familiar spirit"? It is a demonic spirit who regularly appears to a person who has given themselves up to the power of Satan and who is practicing some form of occult worship. During meditation, or during a ritual, this demonic spirit will appear in the consciousness of the occultist, giving them assurance, wisdom and warnings of coming calamities. The Bible calls such a manifestation "demonic possession".

Further, did you know that God strictly forbids a person from contacting or allowing, a 'familiar spirit'? Listen:

"And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not: Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people. And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people." [Lev 20:4-6]

Notice that God identifies a solid link between the fire god, Molech, and familiar spirits. Since the words, 'cut off' means 'to kill', God has just pronounced Capital Punishment upon any person who has a 'familiar spirit'.

God repeats His warnings:

"There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times (Astrology), or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD:" [Deut 18:10-12]

Therefore, why would you allow your child to find "the good" in a black cat during Halloween, which is a symbol of a 'familiar demonic spirit'? Focus On The Family is encouraging trusting, unsuspecting parents to allow their children to commit abominations unto the Lord.

* Vampires are an especially evil creature. They are demons who have temporarily possessed a human body for the express purpose of drinking human blood. Of course, God forbade the drinking of any kind of blood, human or animal; therefore, Satanists take great pleasure in doing so! Listen to God's prohibition:

"For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off." [Lev 17:14]

Once again, you are being encouraged to "find good" in the most evil, abominable, and Satanic creature!

CONCLUSION

Up until the moment that authors Wier and McCune suggested that children find the "good" in these cursed creatures, you might argue that they were innocently trying to revive a holiday they truly believed was originally "Christian". You might forgive them for not realizing that the "Christian" origin of this holiday was "Roman Catholic Paganized Christianity". But, the second they suggested that your child take cursed objects and "find good" in them, they and Focus On The Family crossed the line of judgment from an Almighty God, Who never changes His moral stance on any subject.

This book was not published in a vacuum. The world is speeding toward the Final Birth Pangs War (Matthew 24:6-8), out of which will stride Antichrist. Since his religion is Black Magick Witchcraft (Daniel 7:7-8), the world is greatly embracing Black Magick, as you can realize by just walking through a video rental store and observing the enormous numbers of movies literally built upon the foundation of Witchcraft. TV shows are carrying this theme, and Halloween these days is a buffet of dark spirits of Witchcraft.

At this moment in world history, the Christian Church needs to take a bold stand against all forms of Witchcraft, not trying to invent ways to participate in it and rationalizations to justify our participation. The Bible is quite clear on the subject of how God's people, who are called by His Name, are to act regarding this type of evil.

"A little leaven (a slight inclination to error, or a few false teachers) leavens the whole lump [it perverts the whole conception of faith or misleads the whole church]. (Galatians 5:9; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary)

Christians today do not take this Godly warning seriously, nor do they strictly apply it to their lives. Christians in this era are all too willing to tolerate a great amount of false teaching because they recognize the "good" coming from the ministry in question. People realize that deadly rat poison is 98% good corn meal, but they do not apply that knowledge to the spiritual realm, even though this verse tells them to do just that. Focus On The Family is once again showing their true deadly nature, even though they produce much good, Biblically sound material. The sheer, overwhelming nature of this Biblical material simply hides the poison they are slipping in -- and this "Redeeming Halloween" is sheer poison.

"Elijah came near to all the people and said, How long will you halt and limp between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him! But if Baal, then follow him." (1 Kings 18:21; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary)

We have demonstrated that the spiritual roots of Halloween stretch back 3,000 years to Baal. Therefore, this Godly challenge is most definitely applicable to us.

"She has become a resort and dwelling place for demons, a dungeon haunted by every loathsome spirit, an abode for every filthy and detestable bird ... I then heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out from her, my people, so that you may not share in her sins, neither participate in her plagues." (Revelation 18:2, 4; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary)

Notice that the person who continues to participate in the deadly Babylonian-type system described above will "participate" in God's punishments when His judgments do begin to fall. You will receive God's punishments when they begin to fall in earnest upon this wicked and perverse generation. Jesus is clearly calling here for His saints to "come out from her", come out of participation in this evil culture, this wicked system. We are not to invent excuses for participating in the evil, but to stay completely clear from it!

One more Scripture clearly illustrates that you can not "redeem" evil objects to be used for God's purpose. Turn to 1 Samuel 15.

"Thus says the Lord of hosts, I have considered and will punish what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way when [Israel] came out of Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek and utterly destroy all they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and donkey. So Saul assembled the men and numbered them ..." (1 Samuel 15:2-4; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary)

Why did God order King Saul to utterly, completely annihilate these people -- man, woman, infant, babies still suckling their mother, and all the animals? God commanded this type of severe destruction because the entire society was worshipping Satan! Therefore, all were cursed in God's sight. The animals were cursed, especially the ox and sheep, many of which were marked out for sacrifice to Lord Satan. With this concept in mind, let us go forward in the account.

"Saul smote the Amalekites ... And he took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, though he utterly destroyed all the rest of the people with the sword. Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, oxen, fatlings, lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them; but all that was undesirable or worthless they destroyed utterly." (1 Samuel 15:7-9; Ibid.)

King Saul's obedience to the Lord's commands fell significantly short. He could not resist taking King Agag prisoner so he could proudly parade him before his people as a trophy of victory. Saul also could not resist keeping these animals alive, even though they were cursed by the Witchcraft practiced by their owners. Now listen to Saul's justification when the prophet Samuel confronted him.

"And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said to him, Blessed are you of the Lord. I have performed what the Lord ordered. And Samuel said, What then means this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear? Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and oxen to sacrifice to the Lord your God, but the rest we have utterly destroyed. Then Samuel said to Saul, Stop!" (1 Samuel 15:13-16a)

King Saul justified his action in not destroying every animal by saying that he intended to sacrifice these animals to God; in other words, Saul planned to "redeem" these animals so he could offer them in sacrifice to God Almighty. If this Focus On The Family advice is correct, then King Saul would have received commendation from God for his "Redemption" of these animals from the evil system. Is this what happened? No. As soon as the prophet Samuel heard Saul's excuses, he shouted, "Stop!".

Listen to what Samuel then said, prompted by the Holy Spirit. First, though, Saul repeated his false attempt to justify his actions.

"Saul said to Samuel, Yes, I have obeyed the voice of the Lord and have gone the way which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag king of Amalek and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. But the people took from the spoil sheep and oxen, the chief of the things to be utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal." (1 Samuel 15:20-21; Ibid.)

Samuel then uttered one of the most famous of all warnings in Scripture:

"Samuel said, Has the Lord as great a delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim (household good luck images). Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king." (1 Samuel 15:22-22; Ibid.)

God refused Saul's offer of sacrificing these fine animals to Him, because He knew they had been dedicated for sacrifice in the evil Witchcraft system practiced by the Amalekites. For this reason, Samuel compared Saul's attempt to "redeem" these animals for the Lord to the Witchcraft of the Amalekites. He literally said that King Saul's attempt at redemption of these animals was a sin as great in God's sight as actually sacrificing them to Baal!

In like manner, when you attempt to "redeem Halloween", you are committing as heinous a sin in God's sight as if you were actually actively participating in the Black Magick Witchcraft which permeates Halloween! Do not be deceived. We return to the first verse we quoted, in Part One for our closing:

"Let no one delude and deceive you with empty excuses and groundless arguments [for these sins], for through these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of rebellion and disobedience. So do not associate or be sharers with them." (Ephesians 5:6-7; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary)

Focus On The Family again has revealed their true inner heart. Their terrible Apostasy is just one more sign that the End of the Age is upon us in full force.

Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.

If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.

We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.

Finally, we would love to hear from you.

You can contact us by mail or email.

God bless you.
