HALLOWEEN! Harmless? or Hazardous?
The History of Halloween
CELTIC
NEW YEAR October 31 is the most important day in the
satanic year. It marks the Celtic new year, and is always at the end of the
growing season, thus it became the "Festival of Death." On this day,
the god of the Celtics was to have called up the spirits of the wicked dead who
had died during the past year.
At the same time,
other evil spirits arose and went about the countryside harassing the people.
On October 31, the Celtics expected to be harassed by ghosts, evil spirits, and
demons; and it was no fun and games to them! They would light bonfires to guide
the spirits to their own town and to ward off evil spirits.
The Celtics had
satanic priests called Druids. On October 31, the Druids went from house to
house demanding certain foods, and all those who refused are cursed. The people
were tormented by means of magic.
As they went, the
Druids carried large turnips which they had hollowed out and carved in demon
faces as charms. Each one was believed to contain the demon spirit that
personally led or guided that priest - his little god.
Costumes were worn
at times to hide the identity of the Druid as he would threaten people with
curses if they did not comply with the food he demanded.
Those who
practiced fortune telling and divination found that this was the night that
they had the most success. They called upon Satan to bless their efforts.
One form of
divination was to put apples in a tub and bob for them. The one who first
successfully came up with an apple without putting it in his teeth was to have
good luck throughout the year. They would then peel the apple and throw the
peeling over their shoulder and quickly look around. They expected to see a
vision or an apparition of the one they were to marry.
These things
happened several centuries before Christ. Sacrifices were made to the gods,
especially the god of death: Sam Hain (pronounced Sah - win). Sacrifices all
the way from vegetable to human were offered. This went on and on and in some
parts of the world still go on today.
In the eighth
century, the Pope, in an effort to get the people to quit the festival of Sam
Hain, invented All Saints Day (November 1). This was an attempt to get the
people to turn away from the horrible observance of Sam Hain.
All Saints Day was
intended to honor the martyrs of the Roman persecution. It did not work. It
never works to Christianize a pagan holiday. The holy and the profane do not
mix!!
THE MIDDLE AGES
In the middle ages there was a great revival of satanic practices, witchcraft, and magic - like there is today. During this time, the belief developed that witches traveled on broomsticks to the black sabbaths (witchs' celebration help every October 31) to worship Satan. They were guided by spirits in the form of black cats.

The Druids
worshipped cats believing them to be reincarnated evil people.
CHURCH INVOLVEMENT
This festival of death has survived all of the efforts of the Church to stamp it out. The Church is joining the opposition by celebrating this festival. The devil has been very successful in invading Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter, providing counterfeits for the real thing.

Halloween is
different. It has always been satanic in nature. Satan has deluded the
Christians into celebrating his festival.
All Saints Day
became All Hallows Day and came to be called in the western world All Hallows
Eve, and then All Hallows Een.
Finally, the word
was reduced to the way we have it today, Halloween. That's where the name came
from, and even if it is called All Hallows Evening it has nothing to do with
the Christian faith and it never did!
The bottom line is
this: Halloween has been so deluded that many parents don't even realize all
the symbolism there is in trick or treating, wearing of costumes, decorating
with jack-o'-lanterns, and all the rest that goes with this evil holiday.
October 31 is the
night that Satanists and occultists the world around look forward to for giving
the most honor to Satan and praying to him intensely for the fall of the Church
of Jesus Christ and the destruction of families. It is the night of the human
sacrifice to Satan.
It is the biggest
day in the life of a Satanist. It is not an innocent holiday!!
MODERN HALLOWEEN
Now let us look at the present day celebration of Halloween.
Now let us look at the present day celebration of Halloween.
Is not the whole
theme one of darkness, death, fear, threats, destruction and evil? There are
witches, broomsticks, bats, owls, ghosts, skeletons, death, and monsters.
We dress our
children as demons, witches, ghouls, monsters and werewolves and send them out
into the streets in the dark to reenact the Druids' practice of demanding food
from people under the threat of tricks (or curses) if they do not comply.
We take not a
turnip, but a pumpkin and carve demon faces in it and decorate with it. At
Halloween there will be apple bobbing, divination, fortune telling, haunted
houses, candles lit, and spirits
called up.
There will be seances and ouiji boards in the name of fun and excitement.
There will be
sacrifices of dogs, cats, rats, chickens, goats and even humans!
You say, "We
do not take it seriously." But the devil does and so does God!
Particularly this
is true when the church which He purchased with His blood builds haunted houses
in its fellowship halls so that the little lambs who have been entrusted to its
care can be terrified and opened up to invading spirits of fear, torment, and
confusion.
HOW THIS MUST GRIEVE THE LORD!
Halloween has never been a Christian
holiday and it has no place in the life of a born again believer in Jesus
Christ. In fact it is an abomination to God and we should take our stand firmly
against it and all it entails.
As we look into
its history, we find that its roots go deep into heathenism, paganism,
Satanism, and the occult; and the modern expression is no better!

lyrics
We have a weapon of warfare
The praises of God in our mouth
We have the Sword of the Spirit,
The word of truth. The word of God.
For no weapon formed
Against us will prosper.
For the battle is the LORD’s
And He’ll not fail.
We will go forth
And praise the name of Jesus.
And execute His vengeance
On the powers of the air.
As we clap our hands
We will strike the enemy
As we dance with joy
The hosts of hell will flee
As we lift our hands
His banner will be raised.
And with a shout of Victory
(WOOO) His name
Will be praised.
For no weapon formed
Against us will prosper.
For the battle is the LORD’s
And He’ll not fail.
We will go forth
And praise the name of Jesus.
And execute His vengeance
On the powers of the air.
As we clap our hands
We will strike the enemy
As we dance with joy
The hosts of hell will flee
As we lift our hands
His banner will be raised.
And with a shout of Victory
(WOOO) His name
Will be praised.
As we clap our hands
We will strike the enemy
As we dance with joy
The hosts of hell will flee
As we lift our hands
His banner will be raised.
And with a shout of Victory
(WOOO) His name
Will be praised.
As we clap our hands
We will strike the enemy
As we dance with joy
The hosts of hell will flee
As we lift our hands
His banner will be raised.
And with a shout of Victory
(WOOO) His name
Will be praised.
a shout of Victory
(WOOO)
a shout of Victory
a shout of Victory
His
name
Will be praised.
