Lying Wonders Of The End Times: Why Society Is Running Headlong Toward Spiritism And Sorcery
Harbingers Daily ^ | 12/7/23 | Mark Hitchcock

Posted on 12/07/2023 4:32:46 PM PST by Roman_War_Criminal

False prophets, psychics, mediums, and soothsayers: The rise of these things in our world today is a sign of the times.

In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus said, “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold” (Matthew 24:11-12).

The Bible says there will be an increase in false prophets—frauds and fakes who claim to have knowledge of the future. We see this today in the surge in sorcery, magic arts, psychics, and witchcraft.

In the New Testament, we find the word “pharmakeia,” which is where we get our English word for pharmacy. The word “pharmakeia” refers to sorcery, magic, or spells, and it’s often translated that way. That word was also used in ancient Greek for poisoning people with the use of potions, charms, drugs, or mood-altering substances.

Pharmakeia is used twice in the Book of Revelation. It’s used in Revelation 9:21 during the trumpet judgments: “Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries [pharmakeia], nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.”

There’s a saying that when people stop believing in God they don’t believe in nothing, they believe in anything.

It’s true.

Paganism/animism is a normal state of affairs for humans.

Intellectual atheists think reason will reign, but it’s the opposite.

I cannot tell you how many times I hear “I don’t consider myself religious, but I am spiritual.”

I’d say it’s moving much faster towards a techno-religion... i.e., simulation theory, aliens are our creators, etc.

Nerds who’ve long been atheists are falling for this. Perhaps this is the ‘sorcery’ mentioned in the OP.

True words come from the true prophets.

It's obvious that

Waylon Jennings wasn't only present at Sinai, he was at Pentecost as well.

We read in the scriptures where it says that God will send a “strong delusion” to those who believe the lie. That’s what we see happening now, sad to say.

A perfect definition of the climate-change religionists and their High-Priests preaching pseudo-science.

And their church has a huge following, especially among the young.

Our intellectuals feel restricted by simply being human. They want more power than they were given. That’s why they are working towards a singularity of everything about our creation.

When all those other charges against Trump are dumped or thrown out, they can now charge him with sorcery... I’m pretty sure the Dumocrats will attempt it.

Quite true. Yet while Paganism, animism, spiritualism, and witchcraft are different and attract different kinds of people, they all recognize a spiritual dimension to life.

In my experience, atheists usually are fundamentalist materialists, having taken the simplifying assumption of materialism in modern scientific inquiry and turned it into a foundational belief in itself.

Ask them “What spirit? The spirit of truth or the spirit of error?”

As long as someone mentioned prophets, remember when Willie along with his boys covered this classic?

Willie Nelson - It's Hard to Be Humble (Official Video)

You see that "Zeke's Social Club" hat? I mean you can't miss it. It's a peculiar focus of attention.

Now if you try to locate the place, it won't just show up on a normal search. It requires a little ingenuity.

Well, with a name like "Zeke", I might as well help get things rolling along in that department. 🗝️

"Zeke" was Willie's long time, dear friend. That much will show up on a general search.

The logo of Zeke's Social Club -- that hand right at the top -- is what will lead you right to the place.

Rise and shine! 🌞 🐓

When it comes to promoting end times propaganda, religious leaders are child’s play compared to the political class.
