Summary

The celebration of the pagan festival of Halloween is now a multi-billion dollar merchandiser's market. Fifty percent of Americans will decorate for Halloween (compared to over 80% for Christmas). It is now the third most popular party activity, after the Superbowl and New Year's Eve. This is always a difficult time for Christians, especially those with children. It is also a dangerous time for some, since many of the seemingly "harmless" involvements associated with Halloween can also be "entries" for the occult, and can prove very tragic for the unwary. There is only one true God (Isa 44:6, 8: 46:9). Thus, only one true religion. Scripture declares "all gods of the nations are idols" (Ps 96:5). All false religion and idolatry is by definition involved in demon worship - whether or not the participants recognize it (Acts 26:18). Hence Paul's concern. The spiritual power and reality behind idols involves demons (I Cor 10:20, Ps 106:37). The Bible tells us to shun occultic practices. This series will help you understand the Pagan background to the modern Halloween traditions practiced today. Originally Recorded 1996 First Video Release: 2022 © Koinonia House Inc. 2022

0:00.0	66-60. Your future lies in 6640. Sixty-six-six-books by 40 authors, and yet we now discover it's an integrated message system from outside our time domain.

0:35.6	Session 1, the Pagan Holiday.
0:47.3	Now as we proceed down this path of exploring the strange holiday,
0:52.3	I can't resist pointing out the bizarre possibility that one
0:58.6	of our planets is partly to blame for all of this in a sense.
1:04.9	As you study these ancient cultures and not just the Celts but virtually all the ancient
1:09.8	cultures, you discover something
1:11.4	very strange.
1:13.7	They all worshipped the planet Mars.
1:19.1	And we sort of take that for granted.
1:20.7	We see it in the folklore that these cultures worship the hosts of heaven and so forth.
1:26.3	The name for Mars in the Bible is Bail. It's one of the
1:29.0	names, one of several names for the planet Mars. There's actually about 360 names in the Bible
1:33.1	that allude in one way or another to the planet Mars. But it's interesting. You look at
1:38.2	that and you sort of shrug it off as ancient superstition and yet you stop and realize
1:42.6	that these cultures were terrified
1:45.4	of the planet Mars.
1:47.2	Mars became synonymous with war.
1:50.0	We use that same term even today.
