Now let's go get ready.

52
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:19,260
Put on your critical thinking cap as we go into part two of this teaching, the facts

53
00:04:19,260 --> 00:04:20,640
about Halloween.

54
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,040
What is God's issue?

55
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,040
Let's conclude it now.

56
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:32,160
The eve, which is October 31st, was known as All Hallows Evening.

57
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,440
Now y'all stick with me.

58
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,800
Now I'm just going to throw this out.

59
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,560
Listen and you will see how the church, and when I say the church here, in this instance,

60
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,800
dealing with Halloween, I'm talking about the Catholic Church.

61
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:54,440
If you do your research, I'm not telling you nothing that cannot be fact checked.

62
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,400
So I'm not making a stab at the Catholic Church.

63
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:05,960
I'm telling you what history informs us of.

64
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:19,080
The Catholic Church opened the door to the embracing and the intermingling of Christian

65
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:25,200
principles with this pagan practice.

66
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:33,700
All Saints Day, a celebration and remembrance of saints and modern saints, it had been celebrated

67
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:37,160
in various ways in many places around the world.

68
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,520
Listen to this.

69
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:49,000
It is generally agreed in church history, Halloween took, and I'm reading slow on purpose.

70
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,320
I don't read slow like this in real life.

71
00:05:53,320 --> 00:06:01,080
Halloween took the place of a special day celebrated by the ancient druids who were

72
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,800
the learned or priestly class of the Celtic religion.

73
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,160
Now let me read that again, because this is significant.

74
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:18,200
It's generally agreed that in church history, Halloween took the place, the name Halloween.

75
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,320
And this is what I said to that dear heart who made the comment as it pertains to God

76
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:27,080
doesn't take issue with Halloween and that I needed to do my research as it pertains

77
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,160
to Halloween because it's an innocuous day.

78
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,160
It's harmless.

79
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,680
No, it's not.

80
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:41,680
Those pagan polytheistic practices were already in practice.

81
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:51,960
The Catholic Church by and through the permission of their leader, Pope Gregory the fourth in

82
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,000
835 AD.

83
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,820
He intermingled.

84
00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:12,120
So Halloween, the name was replaced as it pertains Halloween took the place of a day

85
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:24,280
or of the day that was already a day celebrated a special day celebrated by ancient druids.

86
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,720
I hope you all caught that ancient druids.

87
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:40,120
Alright, druid implies if you're taking notes, druid implies a priest of the occult, the

88
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:45,440
priest of the occult.

89
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,440
Look that up.

90
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:57,560
O-A-K hyphen C-U-L-T occult occult druid implies priest of the occult.

91
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:16,960
And again, Halloween was a day of celebration to deities that originated I'm teaching real

92
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:28,720
good with the druids who were the priestly class of the Celtic religion.

93
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,720
Are y'all following me?

94
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,160
Y'all talk back to me here.

95
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:37,280
Those who can and those whose comments I can see.

96
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,360
Bless our God.

97
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:48,920
Alright, the Celtic people lived in northern France and the British Isles.

98
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,360
Listen they and get what am I dealing with?

99
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,680
I'm dealing with the origin of Halloween, dealing with the origin of Halloween reading

100
00:08:54,680 --> 00:09:01,480
excerpts out of the facts on Halloween by John Ankerberg and John Weldon.

101
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,600
These are my references along with the Bible.

102
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,160
Well, how's the Bible tied and connected to this?

103
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:13,280
I gave you the scriptures, how the Bible and we're going to give more scripture as we progress.

104
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,160
Matter of fact, let me put the scripture up.

105
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,160
The scriptures up.

106
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:22,840
I reference scriptures because I don't want anyone to say that I was just given a history

107
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:34,020
lesson right there showing on the screen Proverbs 4 and 7.

108
00:09:34,020 --> 00:09:38,600
Wisdom is the principle thing, therefore get wisdom.

109
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,760
Let's not get what you want to believe.

110
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:48,540
Let's get wisdom and not earthly wisdom, not institutional wisdom, not secular wisdom.

111
00:09:48,540 --> 00:09:56,680
Let's get God's wisdom because God's wisdom supersedes all of the previous wisdoms, the

112
00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:01,240
previous wisdoms that I've that I've overstated.

113
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,200
God's wisdom precedes it and all that I get, get an understanding.

114
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,640
Deuteronomy 18, 9 through 14.

115
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,720
I actually read that a few moments ago.

116
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:16,840
I say a few moments, but about 10, 15 moments ago, 1st Corinthians 10, 20 through 21.

117
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,840
Those of you who need some New Testament.

118
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,800
All right.

119
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,600
So those are the scriptures.

120
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,000
Now let me go further.

121
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,200
These Celtic people lived in Northern France and the British Isles.

122
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:45,080
They engage in occult arts, worshiped nature and gave it supernatural and animistic qualities.

123
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,480
Animal, animistic qualities.

124
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,200
All right.

125
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,680
Did you catch that?

126
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:58,080
Let me make sure that I'm not miss speaking.

127
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:03,040
Let me make sure that I'm not miss speaking.

128
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:09,840
Animistic, a doctrine that that the vital principle of organic development is immaterial

129
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,840
spirit.

130
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:28,920
I'm getting dumped at animism, animism is the root word to animistic.

131
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:34,800
Animism belief in the existence of spirits separable from the bodies.

132
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,120
I said animals and that was wrong.

133
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:43,920
I just wanted to make sure that I was right in my mind.

134
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:50,120
I was thinking that I was not right in saying animalistic because it's not animalistic qualities.

135
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,640
They engage Celtics.

136
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,640
Hopefully y'all still with me.

137
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,840
The Celtics engage Celtics, the Druids.

138
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:10,680
The Druids were known to be the high priestly class of the Celtic religion.

139
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:19,000
So Druid and Celtic, those words can be used interchangeably, but they worshiped, they

140
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,920
engaged in occult arts.

141
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,240
They worshiped nature.

142
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:33,960
They worshiped nature and gave it supernatural animistic qualities.

143
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:41,600
Now let's get into some of these gods because this you have to, that's why the Bible says

144
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:49,560
that you can't be a jack leg teaching the scriptures.

145
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:57,480
You can't be a jack leg addressing subjects that you are a novice in.

146
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,240
And I want you to know, I haven't, I just didn't start teaching on Halloween this year.

147
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:08,680
I've been teaching on Halloween specifically since 2005 when I pastored my first church.

148
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:12,840
I've been teaching on it and have continued to learn and educate myself on it, but it

149
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:20,720
was always something in my spirit that did not agree with me as a Christian and Christians

150
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,400
participating in this day.

151
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:32,640
Now let's get into some of these gods.

152
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:41,240
So as I was getting ready to say, then I went down a brief rabbit trail, but you have to

153
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,360
have God's anointing.

154
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,280
You have to be able to rightly divide.

155
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:53,560
You have to have knowledge and experience as it pertains to doing your research and

156
00:13:53,560 --> 00:14:03,720
your homework to discuss these subjects without embellishment and without inflicting and or

157
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,160
injecting your bias and or your personal opinion.

158
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,600
I'm giving you fact and I'm giving you Bible.

159
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,600
I'm telling you, teaching you, enlightening you as it pertains to the origin of this holiday

160
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,960
that so many Christians feel is again, innocuous and it is not.

161
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:30,200
And the scripture addresses it because all that Halloween is and all that Halloween represents

162
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:38,280
the Bible talks to us about it and tells us to abstain, tells us to reject it, tells us

163
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:49,600
not to be in an environment whereby these types of practices are going on because it

164
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,600
is satanic.

165
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:57,280
It has nothing to do with God, the true living God, the God of the Bible.

166
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,760
Let me say that way.

167
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,360
Has nothing to do with the God of the Bible.

168
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:07,400
It has to do with a pantheon of God's plethora of God's, but it has nothing to do with the

169
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,400
God of the Bible.

170
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,400
And if you are worshiping the God of the Bible, your allegiance is to be to the God of the

171
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,960
Bible and not to any other God's.

172
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:23,600
The thing that distinguishes Christianity from all other faiths and religions is that

173
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,520
for the most part, they are polytheistic.

174
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:37,560
But not because our God defeated all of the other deities and all of the other gods on

175
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,560
the cross.

176
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,080
He defeated the Bible says Jesus made an open display of them.

177
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,280
I can't get no help tonight.

178
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,480
Let's deal with these gods.

179
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:57,160
The Celts, the Celtics, the Celts worshiped the sun God, which is Bellinus, especially

180
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,960
on Beltane, which is May 1st Beltane.

181
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:02,160
Let me let let me help some of y'all.

182
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:09,560
If you do your research, the days of the week, the months of the year, they are all named

183
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,240
after idol gods.

184
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,880
They are named after deities.

185
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:21,680
See?

186
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,680
Just let that sit.

187
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,680
Let that sink.

188
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:40,360
And they worshiped another god, apparently, the Lord of Death or the Lord of the Dead

189
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:46,060
on Sohan or Samhan, which is October 31st.

190
00:16:46,060 --> 00:16:51,320
I told you to make a mental note of Sohan or Samhan.

191
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:58,800
So let me help pull this together for some of you that might be aloof and lost out there.

192
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:12,160
The Celtics worshiped Bellinus, the sun god, as well as the Lord of the death, the Lord

193
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,760
of death and the Lord of the dead.

194
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,240
And they worshiped.

195
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,360
They offered worship.

196
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:22,440
They gave sacrifice.

197
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,360
They went through religious practices.

198
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:28,720
They went through machinations.

199
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:40,800
They went through incantations and spells and all of that on October 31st.

200
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,480
That's when they would worship.

201
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,280
October 31st.

202
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:55,440
Beltane, fire of Bell, was the time of the summer festival, while Samhain was the time

203
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,280
of the winter festival.

204
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,120
Hopefully, y'all are connecting these.

205
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,360
We are in fall, but fall leads into what?

206
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:03,360
The winter.

207
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:04,360
All right.

208
00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:08,280
But the summer festival, we are in summer festival.

209
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,280
I almost said fall.

210
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:18,480
But summer festival, Beltane, the fire, Beltane, fire of Bell, was the time of the summer festival,

211
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:25,120
while Samhain was the time of the winter festival.

212
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,640
When does?

213
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:34,760
Let me check something.

214
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,240
Let me check something.

215
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,720
The ghost just.

216
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:48,400
All right.

217
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,400
What time is it?

218
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,400
All right.

219
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,400
I still got some time here.

220
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,720
I got some time here.

221
00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:00,120
All right.

222
00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:06,080
So Beltane was the time of the summer festival, while Samhain was the time of the winter festival.

223
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:13,720
And sacrifice was offered at both festivals.

224
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,280
So October 31st in its origin and catch this.

225
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,280
Let me help you.

226
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,080
Well, this is 2021 profit.

227
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,280
They're not doing that now.

228
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:47,400
You might not be sacrificing humans on December 31st, but those who are yet true to the authenticity

229
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:59,080
and true to the authentic practices of Halloween, they yet around the world.

230
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:07,000
Yet sacrifice to this degree.

231
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,880
Let that sink.

232
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:15,000
That's for some of you folk that want to be deep and want to say again that, well, I'm

233
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,000
not doing that.

234
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,000
I'm not practice.

235
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,600
I'm not sacrificing a human.

236
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:28,200
No, but you are yet, even though you're not literally sacrificing a human and offering

237
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:34,520
it up to Beltane, the God of fire.

238
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,860
Or fire of bell.

239
00:20:37,860 --> 00:20:50,040
You are yet worshiping him by your participation in the 21st century commercialized version

240
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,160
of Halloween.

241
00:20:51,160 --> 00:21:05,320
You are still as guilty of satanic worship as those that are remaining true and remain

242
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:16,040
true to the authentic practices of this satanic high date.

243
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:26,960
Again, the founder of the church of Satan himself, he said that just by dressing up,

244
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:32,780
that's one of the ways to that brother who asked the question on periscope.

245
00:21:32,780 --> 00:21:41,920
That's one of the ways that you are worshiping Satan because you're participating and what

246
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:58,480
his people did to provoke the dead spirits or even to, to, to war off the spirits of

247
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:06,880
the dead that they believed to populate the earth during this day.

248
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:13,800
And the dressing up actually derived from, let me say it this way.

249
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:21,020
The dressing up originally started with putting on animal carcasses.

250
00:22:21,020 --> 00:22:30,840
And then it was updated over the centuries to the low cute costumes, but it originated

251
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:42,120
with those whom believed in what this day teaches as it pertains to the spirits of the

252
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:50,600
dead populating the earth and, and, and visiting former relatives and people and, and tormenting

253
00:22:50,600 --> 00:23:03,040
them in order for you to hide yourself from being a possible victim of the torment of

254
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,280
these dead spirits.

255
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:13,100
You dressed up in animal carcasses, carcasses.

256
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:19,400
And so even though you're not doing literally what they did, you have your, your functioning

257
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:25,880
in the spirit of what they're doing and what they did.

258
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:31,560
And I lost all my church members on Facebook, almost all.

259
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:39,380
Let me sip while y'all let that sit.

260
00:23:39,380 --> 00:23:45,480
So even though this is the 21st century and over here in the Western world, for the most

261
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:57,120
part, they're not celebrating how the, how, how, how they're not celebrating equivalent

262
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:06,200
to those who yet uphold the authenticity of the day.

263
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:17,000
But you are yet worshiping Satan because you're connected to what he birthed.

264
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,320
So you can't say, well, because I'm not putting my child on the altar.

265
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,080
Literally you're putting your child on the altar by letting your child go out trick or

266
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,720
treating you're putting your child on the altar.

267
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,880
That's offered to say, I'm teaching here y'all the truth.

268
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,160
You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

269
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:42,640
You are sacrificing, you are putting your child, your children, your life, your marriage,

270
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:51,080
you grown folk, husband and wife out here dressed up with little Johnny y'all in costume

271
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,400
is big and burnt.

272
00:24:54,400 --> 00:25:02,600
Y'all out here dressed up like Lucy and Daisy freaking frack, dumb and dumber.

273
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,920
Oh Lord, I tickled myself.

274
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,080
Glory to God.

275
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:13,880
You're out here dressing up and not knowing that you're just that subconsciously you are

276
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:20,320
dedicating your life to the devil and you wonder what and you wonder why in years to

277
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,760
come things shift, things go awry.

278
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,760
Seemingly you wonder why seemingly the devil just came in overnight.

279
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,720
No, he didn't come in overnight and you gave him permission 10 years ago.

280
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:45,560
And he is now manifesting the totality and the fullness of what he planted then.

281
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,120
You think that he just came in illegally.

282
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:49,880
No, he didn't come in illegally.

283
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,640
You gave permission because you were worshiping him.

284
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,800
You dedicated your life to him.

285
00:25:54,800 --> 00:26:02,160
Therefore, he has the right to do what he wants to do concerning your life because you

286
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:07,720
dedicated your life to him by your participation.

287
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:16,320
You've got and I'll give you some some some stats as it pertains to the billions of dollars

288
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:23,960
that people spend on Halloween.

289
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:31,640
So not only are you sacrificing your child, sacrificing your life, but now you're sacrificing

290
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:37,480
your you're sacrificing your economy.

291
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:48,200
You're now y'all don't like that because you're putting your money into a day that is offered

292
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,200
to Satan.

293
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,200
You're putting your money.

294
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,280
You're investing in Satan's agenda.

295
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,840
You're investing.

296
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,320
You're giving your finances.

297
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,840
You're giving your economy.

298
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:11,320
You're literally investing in Satan's treasury.

299
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,680
When you buy the costumes and you have people that spend hundreds of dollars on costumes,

300
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:25,120
you have people that spend thousands of dollars as it pertains to putting on a Halloween party.

301
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:29,120
I'm teaching Lord knows I know I am.

302
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:35,880
All right, I'm getting ready to find a stopping point.

303
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,120
Let me go back to reading some excerpts.

304
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:46,880
This sacrifice was offered at both festivals according to Julius Caesar in his commentaries

305
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:56,380
and other sources, the Celts believed they were descended from the god, this a tradition

306
00:27:56,380 --> 00:28:04,000
handed down from the Druids from the god, this I'm sorry, D.I.S. from the god, this

307
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,120
a tradition handed down from the Druids.

308
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:11,280
This was the Roman name of the God of the dead.

309
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:17,800
I hope you all are seeing the connection with death and Halloween.

310
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:27,600
As I walk my neighborhood, many homes in our neighborhood are decked with satanic decorations

311
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,600
as I call them.

312
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:37,200
Now, you, if you're in your right mind, you would not go down to the morgue and take a

313
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:45,480
body, take a corpse and put it on your porch.

314
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:58,040
If you walk by someone's porch and you see a literal corpse, a dead body on their porch,

315
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,720
you're going to do one of two things.

316
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,160
One, you're going to run or you're going to call the police.

317
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:09,200
You're going to call the authorities and you're going to report that there's a dead body because

318
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:19,360
there's something that's alarming about having a dead body just laying around.

319
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,320
But yet we don't see any issue.

320
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,320
We don't see anything wrong.

321
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:36,120
We don't have issue with having a dummy dressed up in clothes, blood everywhere.

322
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:44,480
We don't see a problem with taking a dummy and making it appear to be a corpse that was

323
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,120
murdered sitting up on your front porch.

324
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:56,200
Everything about Halloween, if I have any scribes on my social media live, type in for

325
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,880
me Periscope, Facebook, YouTube, type in for me.

326
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:06,720
Everything about Halloween breeds death.

327
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:12,800
Everything hashtag everything about Halloween equals death.

328
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:20,640
Everything about Halloween speaks to death.

329
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,840
Everything about it.

330
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:45,320
Why are you so proudly uplifting that which at its core signifies death?

331
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:49,160
I don't think there's nobody that would say if I asked the question, do you want to die

332
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,460
tonight would say yes.

333
00:30:51,460 --> 00:31:00,400
Death is something that many people don't even believe in.

334
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:14,000
As far as you know when life leaves your body, when the cessation of life ceases, that that's

335
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,260
it, that you're gone.

336
00:31:19,260 --> 00:31:21,360
Many people are afraid of death.

337
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,520
Many people don't even want to speak about death.

338
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:30,760
Many people don't don't even want to have a conversation about death.

339
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,440
They don't like to talk about death as from a practical.

340
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,640
When I say practical, I'm talking about as it pertains to planning for it because there's

341
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,840
a point and then to man wants to die.

342
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,120
All of us gonna die.

343
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,880
But there are many people that don't even like to talk about death.

344
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:49,640
You don't want to talk about how your family is going to continue survive after you die.

345
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,260
You don't want to talk about life insurance.

346
00:31:51,260 --> 00:32:02,280
You don't want to talk about the plans of your funeral service, but you don't want to

347
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,000
talk about it from an intelligence standpoint.

348
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:12,480
But yet you are going to put death all over your house and put death all in your front

349
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:13,480
yard for display.

350
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,240
You're going to put death all on your porch.

351
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,240
That's stupid.

352
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:25,320
Yep, I said it.

353
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,480
Bless you, Dr. Hobson, doing the best that I can.

354
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,520
That's just stupid.

355
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:37,320
You don't want to talk about death from an intellectual intelligence standpoint as far

356
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:42,160
as making sure that your family is taken care of when you die, making sure that you have

357
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:47,880
eliminated all bills or as much bills as you possibly can so that your family won't have

358
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,660
to deal with you dying as far as grieving and then also concerned about how they're

359
00:32:52,660 --> 00:32:53,920
going to continue to live.

360
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:54,920
You don't want to talk about that.

361
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,520
You don't want to talk about having life insurance.

362
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:03,600
You don't want to talk about death from a intellectual, intelligent, practical standpoint.

363
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:16,600
But yet you celebrate death in great measure on October 31st and you call yourself a Christian.

364
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:21,240
All right, I'm closing.

365
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:29,840
Again, this was the Roman name for the God of the dead.

366
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:36,520
Nothing about Halloween, nothing about Halloween represents life, nothing.

367
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:41,600
And the Bible says that the God of the Bible is a God of life.

368
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,000
He's so much the God of life.

369
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,160
When he died, he resurrected himself.

370
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,920
Yeah, God, I can't get witness.

371
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,320
I can't get witness.

372
00:33:55,320 --> 00:34:00,720
The God of the Bible is a God of life.

373
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:16,360
For he in him was light and the light was the life of men.

374
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:28,960
Celebrating everything that Bell that that that disrepresent, which is death.

375
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,560
All right, let me give you my last quote.

376
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,920
What time is it?

377
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:41,000
Sam Han as a specific name of the Lord of Death is uncertain.

378
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:48,440
I'm not going to get into this, but it is possible that the Lord of Death was the chief druid deity.

379
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:59,040
The Celts and the druid, the Celts and their druid priests began their new year on November 1st,

380
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,600
which marked the beginning of winter.

381
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:09,640
They apparently believed, listen that on October 31st, which would be their New Year's Eve.

382
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:20,480
The last day of the old year, the Lord of Death gathered the souls of the evil dead.

383
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,160
Now, just let that sink in.

384
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,920
Y'all let that sit while I sip.

385
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,800
Y'all know the routine.

386
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:35,200
Y'all didn't catch that evil dead.

387
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:48,840
Those that died in the Lord, not those that died having lived a righteous life, a moral life,

388
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,160
being an upstanding citizen.

389
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,960
No, the evil dead.

390
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,880
These people did evil things.

391
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,880
Murderers, rapists, pedophiles.

392
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:13,720
They believed that on October 31st, the Lord of the Dead or the Lord of Death gathered the souls

393
00:36:13,720 --> 00:36:23,160
of the evil dead who had been condemned to enter the bodies of animals.

394
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:29,320
The souls of the good dead, not going to leave them out, but I wanted you, I wanted that to sink in.

395
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,560
The evil dead.

396
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,360
I just didn't want to ride past that.

397
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,160
The souls of the good dead were reincarnated as humans.

398
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:37,920
Did y'all catch that?

399
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:47,760
Now, the evil dead came back as animals, but the good dead, they came back as other humans.

400
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:57,640
The druids, all of this is druid practice, Celtic practice, pagan practices in which Halloween

401
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,640
is derived from.

402
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:09,520
The souls, the druids also believed that the punishment of the evil dead could be lightened by sacrifices,

403
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:14,240
prayers, and gifts to the Lord of Death.

404
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:22,240
See, Halloween is more than just dressing up as innocent costume characters and passing our candy.

405
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:31,880
That's the devil's 21st century version because he knows that this 21st century church is not going,

406
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,320
they're not going to take time to study.

407
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:46,680
They're too lazy to put in the homework, to put in the legwork, to peel back the onion, as it were,

408
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:57,680
to peel back the layers to see if what he is presenting is really what he is implying that it is,

409
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,800
as it pertains to this day being innocuous, harmless.

410
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,800
No, it's not harmless.

411
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:18,800
And that's why those who know those devils, those demon spirits that know the truth of their origin,

412
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:37,520
they sit back and they are with great anticipation waiting to manifest in totality the agenda of their leader.

413
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,960
Because the Bible says that Satan's kingdom is not divided.

414
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:46,080
It has hierarchy, principalities, despotisms.

415
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,840
All right?

416
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:54,920
And so they're waiting on the red light, green light, rather.

417
00:38:54,920 --> 00:39:06,120
They're waiting on the opportunity, not opportunity, but they're waiting until they receive the command that now is time.

418
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:21,040
And while they're waiting, they're sitting back laughing because they are rejoicing in the fact that many Christians are embracing a day

419
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:42,920
whereby the host of hell in a collaborative effort bombard families, bombard homes, bombard environments and destroy and kill and steal.

420
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:55,520
But the demons of hell are rejoicing because we are oblivious to the reality, the spiritual reality of what's going on,

421
00:39:55,520 --> 00:40:11,240
because we are deceived in believing that this day, Halloween is harmless, whereby pastors, and I don't even want to call you that.

422
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:19,200
Religious leaders, Christian leaders, bishops and apostles, you are surely not an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ,

423
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:25,760
surely not a bishop in Jesus's church, maybe a bishop in your organization and your Reformation.

424
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:34,720
But you got church leaders, pastors, some I know of, some that may have perused my life.

425
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:43,280
You're preparing right now for October 31st, calling it Hallelujah night.

426
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,320
You might as well call it what it is, Halloween.

427
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:51,600
You and let me say this, because there was a pastor that my brother sent me something.

428
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:57,280
My brother in love sent me something the other day and asked my thoughts.

429
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,760
There was a pastor on Facebook.

430
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:00,960
I don't know who the person is.

431
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,920
I don't know the person.

432
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:12,920
And he was he was advertising their harvest festival, the Hallelujah night.

433
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:19,400
And then in his post, he said, we don't celebrate Halloween.

434
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:29,000
Shut up. The very fact that you had to say that means that you do because you feel guilty down deep down,

435
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:35,280
you feel guilty about your participation, but you are more concerned about pleasing the people versus pleasing God.

436
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:45,320
You want to make sure that the people are happy and you don't want to deal with opposition from the people.

437
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:51,840
And you don't want to have to deal with them asking you, well, why can't the children dress up as Abraham?

438
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,400
Why can't we come to the church? What's wrong with it?

439
00:41:54,400 --> 00:42:00,600
Because you haven't done your homework whereby you aren't able to articulate the truth behind it.

440
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,960
And so you're more concerned about pleasing the people than pleasing God.

441
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:11,280
And you don't want your membership to dwindle because you know that secular Christians,

442
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:18,440
and that's oxymoronic, secular Christians want to hold on to Jesus.

443
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:24,000
And simultaneously hold on to as much of the world as they want and will use anything to validate

444
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,080
their participation and what the scripture speaks against.

445
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:37,680
I don't care if you agree with me or not, I really don't give a flying hoot nanny because the Bible is right and somebody's wrong.

446
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:43,760
And this pastor said that we don't celebrate Halloween.

447
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:53,320
If your Halloween night, if your harvest festival is on October 31st, you are celebrating Halloween, pastor, you are in denial.

448
00:42:53,320 --> 00:43:03,240
If you at your church, if you're having trunk or treat and see, we think that God is stupid.

449
00:43:03,240 --> 00:43:07,560
We we we exchange the word trick.

450
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,600
Because of the negative connotation.

451
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,400
With the word trick, so now we got trunk or treat.

452
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:23,200
If you got if you're trunk and treating, if you're bobbing for Bible.

453
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:30,200
Lord, help me tonight versus bobbing for apples, because you know, Christians want to put a Christian spin on it.

454
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:37,280
And that's what got us in this mess in the first place, because the Catholic Church.

455
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:46,800
Ming mixed Christian tradition with pagan practices.

456
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,760
So let me help you, pastor, you are in denial.

457
00:43:49,760 --> 00:44:01,680
You might as well just say we here at First Corinthians Baptist, we here at Life Ministries, we celebrate Halloween.

458
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:06,480
We just spiritualized it, you might because that's exactly what you're doing.

459
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:17,320
You are just as guilty as those that yet hold true to the authentic practices of this pagan satanic high date.

460
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:24,160
And God is going to judge you for it and hold you accountable because you're leading his people astray.

461
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:30,640
Because there are many Christians like like I was that had if you truly are born again, you're born of God.

462
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:36,320
And what God rejects, your spirit man rejects it.

463
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,680
Your spirit man is is is boxing against it, is fighting against it.

464
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,680
You might not be able to articulate it.

465
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:54,080
I got the clothes because you you haven't done research so you cannot connect the intelligence with your spiritual leading.

466
00:44:54,080 --> 00:45:00,720
And even though I couldn't articulate as I can now, the issue God has with Halloween.

467
00:45:00,720 --> 00:45:12,560
But I began to separate myself from it because in my born again spirit and my spirit man, I knew that God was not with that.

468
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:23,720
You are now equipped to intelligently and scripturally articulate God's mind on this subject of Halloween.

469
00:45:23,720 --> 00:45:36,160
You have the information, you have the articulation to express God's perspective regarding this satanic day that's called Halloween.

470
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:48,840
The believers, the elect of God have no reason to participate in this devil's day whatsoever in no way, shape or form.

471
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:53,840
It does not matter whether you are calling your service.

472
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:58,760
Hallelujah night, whether you're calling it trunk or treat versus trick or treat.

473
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:05,080
Listen, it's all a trick from the enemy and there is definitely no treat.

474
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:16,960
So you now have what is needed again to articulate intelligently and scripturally God's perspective on this subject of Halloween.

475
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:21,600
Were you empowered? Were you challenged to think critically?

476
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:26,280
Are you seeing and understanding the subject matter from God's perspective?

477
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,360
I want to hear your answers to those questions.

478
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:35,320
So email me at admin, A-D-M-I-N at C.T. Johnson dot org.

479
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:39,040
Or if you have not joined our Facebook group.

480
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:48,000
That's right. We have a Facebook group on Facebook, a biblical perspective podcast group and post your responses there.

481
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:53,320
Let's engage and discuss your thoughts concerning today's podcast.

482
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,880
Also, remember to send me your two empowering points.

483
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:02,480
Don't ever forget those that you were supposed to write down while listening today.

484
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:10,680
Visiting the show notes in the podcast description will provide you with the email address and all of the pertinent information to contact me.

485
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,440
Thank you so much for listening.

486
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,880
Know that I greatly appreciate every listener.
