BAAL WORSHIP

 Next, the arch was taken to Dubai, a financial center of the Mideast region, and coordinated the timing with the opening of the World Governance Summit, which opened with the unveiling of the arch before 4000 people from 130 nations of the world.

There were many world leaders and important people present, such as, Barack Obama and Elon Musk, who spoke. One of the themes in the headlines that news agencies focused on what the leaders were there trying to do – which was to bring all the nations of the world together under one umbrella.

Can you say New World Order? This is exactly what the antichrist wants to do.

Are Elites Bringing Back Baal Worship? - Today's Daily Blessing (todaysdailyblessing.com)

The Worship Of Baal Is Rampant Today

This article today is longer than normal. But I need to share this!

These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did, (7) or worship idols as some of them did. As the Scriptures say, “The people celebrated with feasting and drinking, and they indulged in pagan revelry.” (8) And we must not engage in sexual immorality as some of them did, causing 23,000 of them to die in one day. (9) Nor should we put Christ to the test, as some of them did and then died from snakebites. (10) And don’t grumble as some of them did, and then were destroyed by the angel of death. (11) These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age. (12) If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. (13) The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure (1 Corinthians 10:6-13-NLT).

I’ve been speaking on Sundays at Victory Church about the challenges of deception all around us today. Both Jesus and Paul mentioned that one of the major issues we would face just prior to the return of Christ would be rampant deception (see Matthew 24:3; 1 Timothy 4:1-2).

Deception is now enmeshed into the fabric of many business practices today. And day after day, we are bombarded by news media snippets that are basically propaganda! Things are being said over and over again as truth that are simply not true, so as to sway the minds and wills of the people to a certain political persuasion. And this is happening right now worldwide as well as in America. 

Another huge area of deception worldwide is in the area of sexual practices. God created sex between a make and a female for two reasons; procreation and enjoyment in marriage (see Genesis 2:24-25). Sex was initiated by God to be a close bonding act between a male and female husband and wife within the framework of a monogamous relationship called marriage. 

Again, deception has entered the arena of sexuality. Sex before marriage is now a common practice. And cohabitation has been socially accepted for many years. Homsexual and lesbian relationships have become mainstream and socially acceptable worldwide. And to top it off,  in 2015 the United States Supreme Court recognized same sex marriage as having the same rights as heterosexual marriage. In our now politically correct culture, if you disagree, you are defamed, mocked, criticized, marginalized, ridiculed, ostracized, and in some cases financially penalized by losing your job, or in business by loss of revenue.

Also added into the mix of sexual deception is bi-sexulity, transgenderism, and pansexuality. Our world is drowning in incredible common sense defying practices. As Christians we are called to live Holy. Illicit sex carries with it terrible spiritual defilement. Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God (2 Corinthians 7:1-NLT). 

I want to share the background of the sexual deceptions that rule today. These ideals of sex without boundaries are proagated by demonic forces in our day just as they were promoted by rampant worship of idols in history.

Notice that God told the Israelites in the Old Testament to have nothing to do with the idolatrous nations surrounding Israel, or they would be ensnared by the practices of these cultures. 

Listen to these scriptures:

Exodus 34:12-15 (NLT)  – Be very careful never to make a treaty with the people who live in the land where you are going. If you do, you will follow their evil ways and be trapped. (13) Instead, you must break down their pagan altars, smash their sacred pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles. (14) You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you. (15) “You must not make a treaty of any kind with the people living in the land. They lust after their gods, offering sacrifices to them. They will invite you to join them in their sacrificial meals, and you will go with them.

Numbers 25:1-3 (NLT) – While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove, some of the men defiled themselves by having sexual relations with local Moabite women. (2) These women invited them to attend sacrifices to their gods, so the Israelites feasted with them and worshiped the gods of Moab. (3) In this way, Israel joined in the worship of Baal of Peor, causing the Lord’s anger to blaze against his people.

Joshua 23:11-13 (NKJV) – Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the Lord your God. (12) Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations—these that remain among you—and make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you, (13) know for certain that the Lord your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the Lord your God has given you.

The Holman Christian Standard Study Bible reveals in its notes on Numbers 25:3 noted above that this is the first reference to the false god Baal in the Old Testament. The historical time of this reference is in the Bronze age somewhere between 1500 and 1200 b.c. Baal was one of the main false gods in Canaan and was the god that the people believed oversaw human sexuality and fertility. Baal worship had a destructive effect on the cultures that participated in it. Baal was worshipped with the use of homosexual and lesbian prostitutes and involved the people in sordid orgies including men, women, children, and even animals. Babies were sacrificed in their heathen temples to Baal.

Molech was another god worshipped in Canaan during the Old Testament period. Molech was an idol sitting erect with the head of a bull and with arms stretched out. The stretched out arms of this idol were coated with a flammable substance. Participants in this idol worship would pass their children through the fires (arms) of Molech and dedicate their children to this false god.

I mentioned all of this to say that the worship of the idols of Baal and Molech subjugated the participants to demon forces that saturated these cultures with excessive lusts and perverted sexuality. Every time they worshipped these idols in their frenzied orgies, they were actually worshipping demons.

Notice Paul’s statement to the believers in Corinth who were also surrounded by idol worship: What am I trying to say? Am I saying that food offered to idols has some significance, or that idols are real gods? (20) No, not at all. I am saying that these sacrifices are offered to demons, not to God. And I don’t want you to participate with demons (1 Corinthians 10:19-20-NLT). Worshipping idols is equal to worshipping demons.

I believe in the light of the scriptures that I have just referenced that it is safe to say that any person involved in sexual activity outside of God’s plan for human sexuality are worshipping at the altar of demons! Let me say it again, any person involved in any sexual activity outside of the God-made safe place for sex called monogamous, heterosexual marriage, is worshipping at the feet of Baal. And when pregnancy occurs that these sexual idolaters do not want, they offer a modern sacrifice to Molech with an abortion! 

Our culture has fallen head over heels into idolatry. Every act of sex outside of marriage is bowing to a demonic force called Baal. Every person committing adultery is bowing to Baal. Every married couple involved in sex parties with other married couples (swingers) are bowing at the altar of Baal. Every homosexual and lesbian act is literally bowing to Baal. Every crossdresser is bowing to Baal. Every gender binary and trans-gender person is bowing to Baal. Every person viewing pornography is bowing their knee to Baal. Our world is obsessed with demonic worship in the name of free sexuality.

Dear friends, the God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, is a Holy God. He is pristine light and pristine purity. All through the New Testament, believers are urgent with great love to walk with Jesus in purity, and to resist the sinful lifestyles promoted by these current world trends.

If you or someone you know are involved in any of these behaviors, be aware that they are literally participating in Baal worship today. And these behaviors will be the absolute ruin of our modern culture, just as they caused the demise of the great civilizations of history. 

Let’s pray and ask God for revival in America and the world. Revival is our only hope. Let’s cry out for Joel’s prophecy in Joel 2 to be fulfilled. And let’s get ourselves ready to ministry life to those bound in the deceptive chains of darkness.

I will address sexuality again tomorrow. As I close, listen carefully to the Apostle Paul:

1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 -(J.B. Phillips Translation) – God’s plan is to make you holy, and that entails first of all a clean cut with sexual immorality. Every one of you should learn to control his body, keeping it pure and treating it with respect, and never regarding it as an instrument for self-gratification, as do pagans with no knowledge of God. You cannot break this rule without in some way cheating your fellow-men. And you must remember that God will punish all who do offend in this matter, and we have warned you how we have seen this work out in our experience of life. The calling of God is not to impurity but to the most thorough purity, and anyone who makes light of the matter is not making light of man’s ruling but of God’s command. It is not for nothing that the Spirit God gives us is called the Holy Spirit.

zebel first appears in 1 Kings 16, when she marries Ahab, king of Israel. Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal, the king and high priest of the Baal worshipping Sidonians. Baal worship was closely associated with obsessive sensuality and often involved sex acts. Jezebel, as a daughter of this perverse kingdom, was raised in an atmosphere where sex was a path to power and influence (sounding familiar yet?).

Ahab, King of Israel, was completely subdued and dominated by Jezebel (a type of modern man?). Jezebel then introduced the worship of Ashtoroth to Israel. This god/goddess was a power-hungry goddess of love and sensuality. Priestess-prostitutes filled her shrines and serviced her worshippers. The lure of these legal, readily available erotic encounters was more than the men of Israel would resist. By Jezebel’s influence, most Israelites, the northern kingdom, left the worship of God for Baal and Ashtoroth. The prophet Elijah laments that only 7000 men in the entire nation were not swayed by her control (How many men have left God – exchanged the power of supernatural grace for sensual pleasure – by simply clicking on to easy access porn sites? How many men have either abandoned their family or refuse to get married at all?).

The Jezebel spirit is born of rebellion (1960s? Now?). The Spirit of Jezebel is basically a controlling spirit working through the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (The counter forces to these are poverty, chastity and obedience).

Other ways a Jezebel spirit can gain power of a nation …

• Puts power and politics ahead of people
• Baal worshippers would propagate child sacrifice (today’s abortion)
• Operates through fear and intimidation (Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals)
• Intolerant of Word of God (Banish God from public sphere, loss of religious freedom)
• Allows seduction to prevail
• Twists truth; Lies
• Usurps the law
• Propagates sorcery; Black magic (New Age, Witchcraft, Satanism, Reiki, crystals, horoscopes, ouija boards, luck charms, etc.)

Is any of this sounding familiar? It should. This almost perfectly describes the Motus Operandi of most of the liberal secular ruling class in power today.

Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” But the people said nothing. (1 Kings 18:21)

In Biblical Times:  Molech was a MALE false god of ancient Canaan.  Asherah, or Ashtoreth, was the name of the chief FEMALE deity worshiped in ancient Syria, Phoenicia, and Canaan. The Phoenicians called her Astarte, the Assyrians worshiped her as Ishtar. She was considered the Consort of Molech.  Baal-Peor was considered the Sun-god; the worship of Baal-Peor involves the 2 Pagan Gods: Molech and Asherah - Ishtar or Ashtoreth. Baal: means Lord or Owner and refers to Satan. Peor: means “cleft” of “gap” – from the word pa’ar meaning to open wide. God's warning against worshiping Molech the Canaanite god of fire is given in a physical, moral and spiritual context. Believing Jews and non-Jews living in the land of Israel were prohibited from pagan sexual worship of the Canaanite fertility goddess because God viewed such a pagan worship as abomination. Asherah or Ashtoreth, was the name of the chief female deity worshiped in ancient Syria, Phoenicia, and Canaan. The Phoenicians called her Astarte, the Assyrians worshiped her as Ishtar, and the Philistines had a temple of Asherah (1 Samuel 31:10). Because of Israel’s incomplete conquest of the land of Canaan, Asherah-worship survived and plagued Israel, starting as soon as Joshua was dead. Judges 2:13. God intended to prevent His people from practicing the shrines of homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, sodomy, prostitution, abortion and murder of the Canaanites, which He warned against in Leviticus 18:3 and 20:23. The word translated Mo-lech or Moloch (the spelling varies), occurs eight times in the Bible, in Leviticus 18:21, 20:2, 3, 4, 5, 1 Kings 11:7, 2 Kings 23:10, Jeremiah 32:35. 2 Part I. Who was Molech or Moloch? Moloch was the pagan god of the Ammonites and Phoenicians to whom parents sacrificed their children. They were barbarians. Molech (also Moloch) was the national deity of the heathen Ammonites, a fire god commonly worshiped throughout the ancient near East and North Africa, by Canaanites and Philistines, Arameans and Semitic peoples and later, Phoenicians. He was known by many names, all signifying the same false god. There are many different names for Molech. These names all refer to the same false god, spelled in various different ways: Melech, Molech, Milcom, Melkom, Moloch, Molek, Malec, Malik, Melek, Malkum, Melqart, Melkart, Milk, Melqarth, Kronos, Cronus. In Islam, Molech is called Malec or Malik (meaning king), believed to be the principle angel in charge of Djahannam, the Islamic version of hell. Molech worship was prevalent among the Canaanites when Israel entered the land, evident from the fact that God warned Israel against Molech worship as an abomination the Israelites were forbidden to practice, Leviticus 18:21. An abomination is a sin coupled with disgust. Fire gods like Moloch and his fertility goddess consort, Ashtoreth, exercised captivating power over the primitive Canaanites. Their pagan worship often led to sacrificing their children upon the fiery altars of Moloch. They literally killed their children and burned their bodies in worship of Moloch. It is sad that our nation's leaders worship Moloch at Bohemian Grove (San Francisco, California), and they are the ones who legalized abortion in 1973 (Roe vs. Wade), and tensof-millions of Americans are sacrificing their children on the altar of abortion. Is it mere coincidence that abortion was legalized in 1973, when Bohemian Grove has existed for over 100-years? Are Americans in reality offering up their children to Satan in a sacrifice? The FACT of the matter is that the leaders who legalized abortion do worship Moloch, and do offer burnt human sacrifices to him every year at Bohemian Grove. That is a fact, not mere speculation. 3 Margaret Sanger was the queen of the eugenics movement that fueled Hitler's religion of hate, prejudice and murder. That same insane eugenics attitude is prevalent in the world today, especially among the world elite (who plan to kill off 90% of the world's population). Part II. Who Was Ashtoreth? Ashtoreth was the fertility goddess consort of Molech. Ashtoreth is mentioned three times in the Scriptures (1st Kings 11:5, 11:33 and 2nd Kings 23:13). When Ashtoreth is mentioned in Scripture, she is linked to Molech (also called Milcom in the Bible). Ashtaroth is mentioned 12 times in the Old Testament. The word is used as the name of a town in ancient Israel in Deuteronomy 1:4, Joshua 9:10, 12:4, 13:12, 13:31 and 1st Chronicles 6:71. That towns were named after the fertility goddess indicates that her worship was already widespread when the children of Israel entered the land of Palestine. In Judges 2:13 & 10:6, 1 Samuel 7:3 & 4, 12:10 & 31:10, Ashtaroth refers to the ancient Canaanite fertility goddess, with a slightly different spelling than Ashtoreth. Ashtoreth was the goddess of war and fertility, called Ishtar by Assyrians and Babylonians, called Astarte by Greeks and Romans and called Tanith by North Africans. God placed the Holiness Code prohibitions of Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 in more than the context of worshiping false gods, 18:3, 21 and 20:2-5, 23. For many centuries before Israel entered the land of Palestine, ancient Canaanite fertility cults used same sex rituals to worship their false gods. The gay movement today claims it does not apply to their opened practices of homosexuality, oral and anal sex. But it does! Because the very lifestyle of homosexuality renders honor to Baal-Peor. Part III will prove that very point. God prohibited Israel from adopting the cultic sexual fertility goddess worship of Egypt and Canaan, Lev 18:3, 20:23. God abhors Homosexuality, Prostitution, Abortion and Pagan Worship of False gods. "I will cut off from the midst of their people both him and all who follow after him in prostitution, to commit prostitution by worshiping Molech (Hebrew - to commit harlotry after Mo-lech)." Leviticus 20:5. Leviticus 18:22, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." and 20:13 are in the context of sexual sin, harlotry or prostitution and Mo-lech, and Ashtoreth worship. Asherah was represented by a limbless tree trunk planted in the ground. The trunk was usually carved into a symbolic representation of the goddess. 4 Because of the association with carved trees, the places of Asherah worship were commonly called “groves,” and the Hebrew word “asherah” (plural, “asherim”) could refer either to the goddess or to a grove of trees. One of King Manasseh’s evil deeds was that he “took the carved Asherah pole he had made and put it in the temple” (2 Kings 21:7). Another translation of “carved Asherah pole” is “graven image of the grove.” Considered the moon-goddess, Asherah was often presented as a consort of Baal, the sun-god and Molech (Judges 3:7, 6:28, 10:6; 1 Samuel 7:4, 12:10). Asherah was also worshiped as the goddess of love and war and was sometimes linked with Anath, another Canaanite goddess. Worship of Asherah was noted for its sensuality and involved ritual prostitution – homosexuality, sodomy, bestiality. The priests and priestesses of Asherah also practiced divination and fortune-telling. The Lord God, through Moses, forbade the worship of Asherah. The Law specified that a grove of trees was not to be near the altar of the Lord (Deuteronomy 16:21). Despite God’s clear instructions, Asherah-worship was a perennial problem in Israel. As Solomon slipped into idolatry, one of the pagan deities he brought into the kingdom was Asherah, called “the goddess of the Sidonians” (1 Kings 11:5, 33). Later, Jezebel made Asherah-worship even more prevalent, with 400 prophets of Asherah on the royal payroll (1 Kings 18:19). At times, Israel experienced revival, and notable crusades against Asherahworship were led by Gideon (Judges 6:25-30), King Asa (1 Kings 15:13), and King Josiah (2 Kings 23:1-7). Molech represented the male principle of life and reproduction while Ashtoreth represented the female principle of fertility. Part III. Baal-Peor: The Lord of the Opening Baal: means Lord or Owner and refers to Satan. Peor: means “Cleft” of “Gap” – from the word pa’ar meaning to open wide. The cleft or opening to which Peor referred to, was the woman genital part. The goddess Ashtoreth was the representation of the female genital part while Molech was the representation of the male genital part. While, all immoral sexual acts were considered an homage to Baal, the worship of Baal-Peor was considered to be the most obscene. The temples had dedicated male and female prostitutes (priests and priestess) and anal and oral sex were practiced by same sex or opposite sex in order to commune with Baal-Peor. While male prostitutes participated in the act, only the feminine principle was glorified; man had to sacrifice his manhood to join in the act. In either case, he effeminized himself. This brought glory to Baal-Peor because the worshiper had to abase himself both physically and spiritually before the cleft. The rites of Baal-Peor only exalt the woman principle. Some have asked us, "Are you saying that acts of sodomy (anal or oral sex) are sinful, even 5 in marriage?" While there are likely a number of mixed messages people give to this question, it is a sin - even in marriage. There are several reasons why. 1. Sodomy is a sin. Similar to the meaning of Beor (Balaam's father), the Hebrew word for Sodom literally means "burning". Sodomy is defined as "anal or oral copulation with a member of the opposite sex; copulation with a member of the same sex; or bestiality." The act is considered sodomy even when it pertains to the opposite sex. Heterosexuals who participate in this act are sodomites by the very definition of the word. It wouldn't take long in reviewing the Scriptures to understand how God feels about sodomy. The Bible is not silent on this topic. 2. It is idolatry. The word "sodomite" in the Old Testament is the word "qadesh" which means "male temple prostitute". The female counterpart to that (the word "qĕdeshah") is often translated as "harlot" or "whore". Some say that God only disapproved of this act as it related to temple prostitution. Yet, the act itself is an act of idolatry no matter who performs it. One does not have to be a temple whore of Baal for the act to be sinful. On the contrary, one becomes a temple whore of Baal by doing the act. Holding true to the definition of the word sodomy, these temple prostitutes would perform homosexual acts on anyone, regardless of gender. The act itself was the means by which the participants were joined to or became one with Baal; the act itself was the means of worship by which Baal was sought to cross over and indwell the participants. Today, music performers entice young and old in the practice of the worship of Baal-Peor with their lyrics, subliminal videos and images. Remember: the act itself was the means by which the participants were joined to or became one with Baal; the act itself was the means of worship by which Baal was sought to cross over and indwell the participants. This is what the children are indoctrinated in public schools today. 3. The marriage bed should be kept in honor – (Hebrews 13:4). Some assert that there is an anything goes mentality to intimacy in marriage because "the marriage bed is undefiled." However the Bible prefaces that text by saying that marriage is first honorable. The text also states that fornication and adultery defiles the marriage bed. The word for fornication is the Greek word porneia which means illicit sexual intercourse. So sex acts that God deems as illicit are not acceptable just because it is practiced in the confines of a marriage. It defiles the marriage bed which should be held in honor. The question then becomes are acts of sodomy illicit?  God gives us GOOD gifts - (James 1:17). God does not give us gifts that would cause us harm. Therefore, we can look at the function, purpose, and design of certain acts to determine whether or not these would be considered natural in God's eyes. If a sexual act is ordained by God (i.e. it is natural), then it would have certain inherent protections for the participants in the act. 6  Design - The woman and man are given sexual parts that physically correlate to and fit each other. They are designed to meet together naturally, without forced manipulation.  Protection - God designed protections into the body for this interaction. The lining of the uterus is designed to prevent the semen from entering into the blood stream of the woman. God does not provide the same protections for acts of sodomy. These acts can disrupt normal bodily functions and cause damage to bodily systems. There is also an element of danger involved in the act oral sex performed on women that can lead to death. It is not a protected act (in terms of the body's design) the way that sexual intercourse is.  Union - Man and woman being joined together sexually become one flesh only occurs during sexual intercourse.  Procreation - Children can only result during sexual intercourse. We can see by its design, function, and purpose that sexual intercourse between a man and woman is a natural use of sex. All of these elements work together to provide a safe, enjoyable, and purposeful interaction. The same cannot be said for acts of sodomy. 4. It is uncleanness. Apart from the physical uncleanness of the act, there is also a spiritual component. Romans Chapter 1 describes man's degradation into reprobation. Man doesn't just wake up one day reprobate, but there are a series of steps man takes further and further into sin. The sin immediately preceding homosexuality is men and women dishonoring their bodies between themselves with uncleanness. The word for "dishonor" in that text is a derivative of the word "honorable" in the Hebrews 13:4 text about marriage. This refers to all heterosexual sexual sin (oral copulation, anal copulation, bestiality, etc.). 5. It is an "unnatural use". Romans 1:26 states, "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature." The word "use" is the Greek word "chrēsis" which refers to use of the sexual parts of the woman. Note that there is a "natural" use and an "unnatural" use. What the women were doing with each other sexually was an unnatural use of that part of their bodies. Similarly, we are told in Romans 1:27 that the acts performed between the men was likewise unnatural. "And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." Romans 1:26-27 not only condemns the affections that draw men and women to the same gender (vile affections), it also condemns the acts that they performed as a result of these desires (against nature). 7 6. It formats the mind to be asexual. The act itself is not gender-specific. In an attempt to validate homosexuality as a norm, Jamake Highwater's book The Mythology of Transgression: Homosexuality as Metaphor states how the masculine and feminine depiction of Baal-Peor represents a bi-gender nature. He goes on to say: "During the worship of Baal-Peor, priests dressed as women and priestesses dressed as men." The transgender cross-dressing is entirely consistent with the asexual nature of the act. Since it can be performed by anyone who has a mouth, gender becomes irrelevant. It is an intentional blurring of the sexes. That makes participation in this act a critical step for Satan to use in preparing man's mind for the acceptance of homosexuality. God is able to give husbands and wives a fulfilling, exciting, and pleasurable intimate relationship because that is how He designed it to be. We sometimes forget that sex was God's gift to married people and He knows what He is doing. Yet through the worship of Baal-Peor, Satan was able to ensnare the nation of Israel and he is still trying to do the same today. 7. Woman ordination as priestess was not ordained by the Creator. Just like the Sanctuary in the wilderness was to be set up towards the west instead of the east to counteract Sunworship (as most churches point to today), so is woman ordination forbidden today to counteract female prostitution and lesbianism still found in heathen temples today and modern feminism or cult of the woman. His ways are greater than our ways. His understanding is infinite! Part IV. The sexual relationship between these false gods sets the example for unbridled sensuality among their worshipers. Anal and oral sex between male and male worshipers (homosexuals) and male and female worshipers (heterosexuals) was viewed as an offering to the goddess. Could that explain why members of Bohemian Grove (San Francisco, California) purported engage in massive orgies of homosexual sex? The grove is known to bring in paid homosexual male prostitutes to service the moguls. One anonymous former male employee of Bohemian Grove said he was propositioned for sex by one of the moguls attending the club. This and other reports are highlighted in Alex Jones' documentary ORDER OF DEATH (2005). Nearly 2,000 carefully selected government officials, corporate tycoons and other luminaries—men with power to shape the future—assemble privately every July in a redwood forest about 65 miles north of San Francisco. The meeting includes a somber ritual that features the Druidic burning of an effigy on the altar, chants from a robed chorus, and wild drinking and promiscuity. The bizarre Pagan ritual of the Bohemian Grove—the Cremation of Care ceremony—is practiced by its members (all men). 8 Photo to left: An artist's depiction of a Molech idol. Homosexuality is a horrible, vile, abominable sin in the eyes of God (Romans 1:24-32). The Bible condemns homosexuality in all its form as disgusting and evil. It is against nature and a perverted lifestyle of degradation and debauchery. Anyone who attempts to legitimize homosexuality is the enemy of God (James 4:4). Righteous king Asa drove the wicked sodomites out of the land as God wanted him to do (1st Kings 22:46). Sodomites today actually attempt to diminish the awfulness of homosexuality on the basis that the Word of God does not make more mention of it as being evil; but may we remind you that the Bible is equally silent about other sins as well. The reason is because it is quite obvious that certain sins are so heinous and evil that nature and conscience itself teach us the truth. The Bible DOES condemn homosexuality in numerous places as a sin, such as in Genesis 19:1-11, where the city of Sodom has become so wicked that homosexuals were trying to rape Lo t's guests and Lot. Some 1450 years after Leviticus, the Apostle Paul references pagan worship in Romans 1:26-27, when he blasts the same kind of fertility goddess worship in first century Rome. The Molech idol was a large, hollow brass statue with the head of a bull and the bulging belly of a man. It was designed like an old fashioned pot-bellied stove, with the belly as the firebox. A child sacrifice laid on the hands, would roll into the fire in the belly cavity. Scripture describes this practice as "passing through the fire to Molech," Leviticus 18:21. Cleitarchus, an ancient historian, around 315 BC, gives this description of a fire god at Carthage. Kronos is the North African name for Molech. “There stands in their midst a bronze statue of Kronos, its hands extended over a bronze brazier, the flames of which engulf the child. When the flames fall upon the body, the limbs contract and the open mouth seems almost to be laughing until the contracted body slips quietly into the brazier.” Diodorus Siculus, 90-30 BC, gives this description of a Carthaginian fire god. “There was in their city a bronze image of Cronus extending its hands, palms up and sloping toward the ground, so that each of the children when placed thereon rolled down and fell into a sort of gaping pit filled with fire.” Plutarch, AD 46-127, senior priest of the oracle at Delphi, gives this description of the fire god. “The whole area before the statue was filled with a loud noise of flutes and drums so that the cries of wailing [of the children being sacrificed] should not reach the ears of the people.” 9 One can readily see why God and Moses called this pagan religious practice and the sexual rites associated with it, abomination. Moloch worship is essentially identical with worship of Chemosh of Moab, Cronos-Kronos of Carthage and Melkart-Melqart of Tyre. The general name, used throughout Palestine and in the Bible, for this type of fire god, was Baal. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, the Hebrews first learned Baal worship from the agricultural Canaanites. Part V. Paying the Price Already! Clearly, homosexuality is synonymous with a decadent society. It is not a coincidence in America today that abortion, pornography, casino gambling, drunkenness, prostitution, Communism, Rock 'N' Roll, public nudity, fornication, mini-skirts, witchcraft, feminism, divorce, the lies of evolution, and homosexuality are all LEGAL. In a moral, God-fearingsociety none of these things would be allowed. America's economic demise is happening in direct relation to our moral plunge into unrestrained wickedness. When homosexuals are getting married and adopting children, you know that a nation's freedom and liberty are just about gone forever! If God spared not Sodom, nor the angels that sinned, nor the world before the flood; then neither will He spare America and the countries who imitate their sins! Cremation of Care Ceremony “The ceremony... involves the burning of an effigy named Dull Care, who symbolizes the burdens and responsibilities these harried Bohemians now wish to shed temporarily. More than 100 Bohemians take part in the ceremony as priests, acolytes, torch bearers, brazier bearers, boatmen, and woodland voices, but despite many flowery speeches, they can't get the fire started . . . the perplexed Bohemians must turn to the mighty Owl for advice: "O thou, great symbol of all mortal wisdom, Owl of Bohemia, we do beseech thee, grant us thy counsel," intones the High Priest. An aura of light creates a glow around the Owl's head, and then the big bird reveals its wisdom. The High Priest must light the pyre with the flame from the Lamp of Fellowship, located conveniently enough on the "Altar of Bohemia" at the base of the Shrine . . .” Reference: William Domhoff, The Progressive, January 1981 “Bohemian Bigwigs Perpetuate Canaanite Cult” 10 CONCLUSION It is amazing and sad to see how many of Christians are afraid of exposing every work of darkness as Ephesians 5:11 commands. Most pastors choose to avoid research the occult, having the mindset that we ought not to learn about the workings of Satan. Meanwhile, the same woefully ignorant pastors are allied with the government through 501c3 statelicensing, and many pastors are even signing up now with the government's treasonous Clergy Response Teams, and other pastors who have forsaken the inspiration of the Bible are now praising the wicked. Christians, especially Christian leaders, ought to research and know what their nation's leaders are involved with, because it affects us in every way. If we as born-again believers do not stand up against the wicked, then who will? There is a preponderance of verifiable, documented evidence to expose these criminals. President John F. Kennedy publicly spoke out against Secret Socialites and yet the average Christian leader who despises Kennedy's openly immoral lifestyle is woefully ignorant of the Depths of Satan which Kennedy warned us about. It is an alarming paradox in our nation.
