The Worldview of Evil Spirits
PatriotandLiberty Blog ^ | 1/1/23 | Linda Kimball

Posted on 02/06/2023 2:35:05 AM PST by spirited irish

In the classic work, “Earth’s Earliest Ages” English theologian G.H. Pember (1837-1910) examines the role of satanic forces in the first destruction of earth under God’s judgment and compares them to the explosion of open contact with evil spirits, ancient Egyptian Hermetic magic, Theosophy, Buddhism, reincarnation, karma, the Mystery religion of Babylon, astrology and mesmeric healings sweeping across Christendom.

It was during the Renaissance that many influential Christians at the highest levels of Church and society had returned to the occult Wisdom Teachings that originated on the plains of Shinar then traveled to ancient Egypt with Hermes Trismegistus.

I read Pember's “Earth’s Earliest Ages” several years ago.

Highly recommend.

From Amazon:

The seven signs as presented in the book are:

I. A tendency to worship God as Elohim, that is, merely as the Creator and Benefactor, and not as Jehovah the covenant God of mercy, dealing with transgressors who are appointed to destruction, and finding a ransom for them.

II. An undue prominence of the female sex, and a disregard of the primal law of marriage.

III. A rapid progress in the mechanical arts, and the consequent invention of many devices whereby the hardships of the curse were mitigated, and life was rendered more easy and indulgent. Also a proficiency in the fine arts, which captivated the minds of men, and helped to induce an entire oblivion of God.

IV. An alliance between the nominal Church and the World, which speedily resulted in a complete amalgamation.

V. A vast increase of population.

VI. The rejection of the preaching of Enoch, whose warnings thus became a savour of death unto the world, and hardened men beyond recovery.

VII. The appearance upon earth of beings from the Principality of the Air, and their unlawful intercourse with the human race.

It fits in very well with Jonathan Cahn’s new book The Return of the Gods.

One part of their worldview can be ascertained in socialism. Where God seems to have divided everything, but kept it in harmony, socialism wants to meld everything into an idealistic singularity.

In God’s world, church is church and business is business. However, in socialism, the purpose of both church and business is to devote itself into doing good.

When I see truly evil people like Pelosi or Biden getting their hands on the controls it is enough to make me believe there really is a dark power behind it all.

My local church just voted on "disaffiliation" with the national /international governing body (the UMC) that was redefining sin re: sexuality and even permitting gays/lesbians/transexuals to become pastors and bishops.

Shockingly, just short of 1/3rd of the congregation voted to remain.

That means that 1/3rd of the congregation had no idea of what the Bible teaches re: this matter OR didn't care.

Just a guess, but I'll bet a large percentage of the other 2/3rd of the congregation didn't know what was in the Bible either and was only voting what they "thought" was tradition.

I am dumbfounded by the event.

As an aside, I have send an email to friends in the church linking them to the audio Bible on youtube because it is an easy way to read it when eyes are tired at the end of the day.

No response. Zero, zip, nada!

I posted the same link here at FR and got a somewhat better response.

People just don't seem interested in the Bible.

It really is alarming as a person’s attitude towards the Bible is pretty much a reflection of their attitude towards God.

It is after all, His very own words to us, His special revelation to us so that we can know Him and His mind better.

People reject Scripture at their own risk.

I read it and listen to it at the same time on Bible Gateway. I use that in morning devotions.

I like The Blue Letter Bible app on my phone. It’s easy to navigate. I can be reading along with the preacher while others are still turning pages.

I can see how Bible aps can be very convenient, but there is still something special about a book that just isn’t the same using a device or Kindle.

People reject Scripture at their own risk.

Not just at their own risk. When people hear "at their own risk" they might think, "You mean it might cost me some money?" or "It might be painful, physically or socially?"

They don't realize that this is about eternity.

ETERNITY! FOREVER! HELL!

In all due respect, you are WRONG!

The Bible isn't about paper, print, and binding.

It is about the Word, however that Word can be received.

In Jesus's day, Scripture was read to people in synagogue. The same thing is true until the printing press was invented (frankly, not too long ago in the scheme of things).

Anything that can be used to get people to hear the Word is absolutely wonderful and sacred!

I know the medium that carries the Word is irrelevant.

However, given a choice between a device and a book, I’ll take the book any day, for any thing, not just Scripture.

Your point is well taken, but for many who can see to read, reading words on paper is a learned, comfortable means to obtain information and knowledge. Sadly, today many people don’t want to read anymore (perhaps too lazy) to gain knowledge or be informed.

I agree with you. There is something special about a hard copy book. My house is littered with them

I read on Kindle and Audible, but there's nothing like a good old book.
