INTRODUCTION
To begin our study in Bible doctrine, we ought to begin with God.
We are constantly challenged by atheists, skeptics and hecklers to prove that there is a God.
It is difficult for natural man to believe in something that he cannot see, touch or feel (I Cor. 2:14).
The problem for the Christian is solved with the first verse of the Bible, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Gen. 1:1).
The Bible is not a textbook that attempts to prove the existence of God - the Bible opens with a positive fact that God does exist.
It did not occur to any other writer of the Bible to prove this fact.
The Bible plainly states that it is the fool who denies the existence of God.
Psa. 14:1, "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God."
Anyone with any intelligence would acknowledge the evident fact of a living God.
The greatest proof apart from Scripture of the existence of God is our daily fellowship with Him in prayer.
I know that there is a God because I talked to Him today and He heard and answered the prayer of my heart though it was only whispered silently.
I. PROOF FROM SCRIPTURE
Psa. 19:1, 'The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handywork." The beauty and glory of the heavens speak loudly saying, "God exists."
Rom. 1:20 goes farther and suggests that creation even teaches about the eternal power of the Godhead, "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse."
The man who accepts Scripture will readily acknowledge the existence of God.
Let us study some other less convincing but nevertheless powerful arguments.
II. PROOF FROM CONSCIENCE
Man is born with a universal belief in a supreme Being; no tribe has yet been discovered that lacks this. They know that some Being creates and controls.
Rom. 2:15, "Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another." The existence of God is written in the human conscience.
Acts 17:23, "For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To the Unknown God." Conscience told them that there was a God though they did not know Him personally.
Some atheists may claim that their conscience does not tell them about God.
It is doubtful if a genuine atheist can be found for at best they are men who have stilled conscience by blatant unbelief.
Some men are so blind that they may deny the existence of the sun in the sky but that does not alter the fact that the sun exists, rises and sets each day.
None are so blind as those who refuse to see. The honest man will find that the inner still small voice says that God exists and is alive today.
Men deny the existence of God not because they cannot find Him but because they are afraid to face the responsibility of being accountable to Him alter death.
Atheism is one of the devil's tools to put men to sleep without accepting salvation.
If there is no God then I am not responsible to anyone and I can live and die as I please. but in the quieter moments of reflection the conscience of every man whispers, There is a God" and only fools deny it.
To look up and see a plane and not see the pilot and say that the plane is pilotless is as ridiculous as looking into the heavens and saying that there is no God simply because we cannot see Him.
Few of us have ever seen our brains, yet we believe that we possess them because of a centralized control system in the body. Because we see creation, we believe in God.
III. THE ARGUMENT FROM CAUSE (Cosmological)
The world is here. It must have come from somewhere. Somebody or something must have caused it to come into being at one time or another.
Here is a book. Someone must have written it. No printing press can of itself produce a book, be it ever so modern a press with the latest electrical gadgets.
Someone built the building. Someone created the trees. Someone operates the universe.
If all the pieces of a watch were placed in a can and the can shaken gently for a million years the watch would not be "accidentally" put together and running.
The only sensible answer to the problem of the existence of the world is the existence of an intelligent Being whom we call God.
IV. THE ARGUMENT FROM DESIGN (Teleological)
A watch not only exists but it has a designer. It was planned for a specific purpose.
A watch was not designed for mosquitoes to live in. It was designed by a keen mind for the purpose of accurately telling the time.
An examination of the world and the things large and small shows that each is designed by an intelligent mind for a specific purpose in life.
The colors of the bird and means of defence of the animals are not accidents. They are the result of a plan of a superior planning mind of the originator.
V. THE MORAL ARGUMENT (Anthropological)
Man has an intellectual and moral nature showing that the Creator must not be merely an inanimate force but a living, intelligent moral Being.
Gen. 1:26, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."
Gen. 1:27, God created man in the image and likeness of God, that is, patterned after Him.
Pea. 94:9, "He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?" God has given to man ears, eyes, knowledge, intelligence, and will power for these are the things that He possesses.
Conscience teaches man right and wrong, good and bad; for the Creator is a moral Being that is holy, and loves righteousness but abhors evil.
VI. THE LIFE ARGUMENT
Life comes from life and the original life must have come from a Being possessing eternal life, that is, life that existed before physical life was created.
Where can such life be found? It can only be found in God who possesses eternal life. Psa. 36:9, "For with Thee is the fountain (source) of life."
The apple tree gets its life from the parent tree, the lamb from the mother sheep. But where did they get life from? We go back to the original creation.
Jesus said in John 11:25, "I am... life," also in John 14:6, "I am ... life," and in John 10:28, "And I give unto them eternal life."
All life proceeds from God. The theory of spontaneous generation has been proved false and completely unacceptable to authoritative science.
Life must have a beginning. The only logical answer is that beginning was with God.
VII. THE ARGUMENT FROM CONGRUITY
The theory of atheism solves no problems but only multiplies unsolved mysteries.
The acceptance of the existence of God as Creator of the world is like a magic key that fits all the facts of Scripture, revelation, knowledge and science.
This irrefutable doctrine is held tenaciously by multitudes of souls who are willing both to live and die in the consolation of this assurance.
CONCLUSION
Atheism which is only giant doubt and unbelief can only lead to darkness and despair for the one accepting it.
Acceptance of Gen. 1:1, "In the beginning God," leads a sincere seeker into the path of a fuller revelation of God Himself.
Heb. 11:6, "He that cometh to God must believe that He Is [exists)."
A MESSAGE BY Rev Alban Douglas:
Let us come as children in simple faith, based on the revelation of God in Scripture and nature, believing and trusting Him completely.
REVIEW QUESTIONS
Did God write the Bible as a textbook to prove His existence? Explain.
What is an atheist in the eyes of the Lord?
Give two Scriptures to prove the existence of God.
Why in Acts 17:23 had the people of Athens built an altar to the unknown God?
What is the atheist's real purpose in denying the existence of God?
What is the argument from cause to prove the existence of God?
What is the argument from design to prove God's existence?
How do we know that God is not an inanimate force?

The Origin of Christmas!
Christmas is a holiday shared and celebrated by many religions.
It is a day that has an effect on the entire world.
To many people, it is a favorite time of the year involving gift giving, parties and feasting. Christmas is a holiday that unifies almost all of professing Christendom.
The spirit of Christmas causes people to decorate their homes and churches, cut down trees and bring them into their homes, decking them with silver and gold.
In the light of that tree, families make merry and give gifts one to another.
When the sun goes down on December 24th, and darkness covers the land, families and churches prepare for participation in customs such as burning the yule log, singing around the decorated tree, kissing under the mistletoe and holly, and attending a late night service or midnight mass.
What is the meaning of Christmas? Where did the customs and traditions originate?
You, as a Christian, would want to worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth, discerning good from evil.
The truth is that all of the customs of Christmas pre-date the birth of Jesus Christ, and a study of this would reveal that
Christmas in our day is a collection of traditions and practices taken from many cultures and nations.
The date of December 25th comes from Rome and was a celebration of the Italic god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god.
This was done long before the birth of Jesus.
It was noted by the pre-Christian Romans and other pagans, that daylight began to increase after December 22nd, when they assumed that the sun god died.
These ancients believed that the sun god rose from the dead three days later as the new-born and venerable sun.
Thus, they figured that to be the reason for increasing daylight.
This was a cause for much wild excitement and celebration. Gift giving and merriment filled the temples of ancient Rome, as sacred priests of Saturn, called dendrophori, carried wreaths of evergreen boughs in procession.
In Germany, the evergreen tree was used in worship and celebration of the yule god, also in observance of the resurrected sun god.
The evergreen tree was a symbol of the essence of life and was regarded as a phallic symbol in fertility worship.
Witches and other pagans regarded the red holly as a symbol of the menstrual blood of the queen of heaven, also known as Diana.
The holly wood was used by witches to make wands.
The white berries of mistletoe were believed by pagans to represent droplets of the semen of the sun god.
Both holly and mistletoe were hung in doorways of temples and homes to invoke powers of fertility in those who stood beneath and kissed, causing the spirits of the god and goddess to enter them.
These customs transcended the borders of Rome and Germany to the far reaches of the known world.
The question now arises: How did all of these customs find their way into contemporary Christianity, ranging from Catholicism to Protestantism to fundamentalist churches?
The word "Christmas"itself reveals who married paganism to Christianity.
The word "Christmas" is a combination of the words "Christ" and "Mass.
The word "Mass" means death and was coined originally by the Roman Catholic Church, and belongs exclusively to the church of Rome.
The ritual of the Mass involves the death of Christ, and the distribution of the "Host", a word taken from the Latin word "hostiall" meaning victim!
In short, Christmas is strictly a Roman Catholic word.
A simple study of the tactics of the Romish Church reveals that in every case, the church absorbed the customs, traditions and general paganism of every tribe, culture and nation in their efforts to increase the number of people under their control.
In short, the Romish church told all of these pagan cultures, "Bring your gods, goddesses, rituals and rites, and we will assign Christian sounding titles and names to them.
When Martin Luther started the reformation on October 31st, 1517, and other reformers followed his lead, all of them took with them the paganism that was so firmly imbedded in Rome.
These reformers left Christmas intact.
In England, as the authorized Bible became available to the common people by the decree of King James the II in 1611, people began to discover the pagan roots of Christmas, which are clearly revealed in Scripture.
The Puritans in England, and later in Massachusetts Colony, outlawed this holiday as witchcraft.
Near the end of the nineteenth century, when other Bible versions began to appear, there was a revival of the celebration of Christmas.
We are now seeing ever-increasing celebrating of Christmas or Yule, its true name, as we draw closer to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In both witchcraft circles and contemporary Christian churches, the same things are going on.
As the Bible clearly states in Jeremiah 10:2-4, "Thus saith the Lord, learn not the way of the heathen; and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven. For the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain. For one cutteth a tree out of the forest. The work of the hands of the workman with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers that it move not."
So, what is wrong with Christmas?
1. To say that Jesus was born on December 25th is a lie! The true date is sometime in September according to the Scriptures.
2. Trees, wreaths, holly, mistletoe and the like are strictly forbidden as pagan and heathen! To say that these are Christian or that they can be made Christian is a lie!
3. The Lord never spoke of commemorating his birth but rather commanded us to remember the sacrifice of His suffering and death, which purchased our salvation.
Think about it! Can we worship and honor God by involving ourselves with customs and traditions, which God Himself forbade as idolatry? Can we convince God to somehow "Christianize" these customs and the whole pretense and lie of Christmas, so we can enjoy ourselves? Can we obey through disobedience?
So what is right about Christmas? 1. Nothing!
so,my dear friends!who want to worship the lord almighty in spirit & in truth,keep away from these practices as they bring curses in your family n ur life!GOD BLESS YOU!

53 Blessings That Happen To A Person After Believing On The Lord Jesus Christ!
When a Man, woman, boy, or girl, believes on the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour the following list of attributes is granted to them instantly.

51. ) We have been delivered from the power of darkness....(Colossians 1:12-13) Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
52. ) Our hearts are unblamable....(1 Thessalonians 3:13) To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
53. ) We get the power of a sound mind....( (2 Timothy 1:7) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

BE NOBODY'S VALENTINE!
Each year on February 14th countless millions of people celebrate a day known as “St. Valentine’s Day.” Millions of heart-shaped cards and boxes of chocolates are given as gifts, and even churches have Valentine parties on this so-called “Day of Love.” In schools, from pre-school and kindergarten on up, children draw names from a box and exchange heart-shapes notes which “pair off” the children and is said to be “all in fun.” People of all ages get into the act, and the words that are heard everywhere on that day are, “Be My Valentine.”
The sad fact is that most people never question the origin of the customs that they involve themselves with. Most people do not ask questions but do what everybody else does, never stopping to consider how the Almighty God of Heaven feels about their activities. When we consider that Valentine’s Day is a day of preoccupation with the heart, it is essential that we listen to the following words spoken by the Almighty, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his wages, and according to the fruit of his doings.” Jeremiah 17:9-10
Christians should be known by their discernment and should be asking questions regarding Valentine’s Day. What is the origin of this unusual day? Why is there a preoccupation with the color red? Where did the heart shape come from, and what does it mean? These and other questions will now be answered, as we examine the roots and pagan origin of this popular day.
In the days of the Roman Empire, the month of February was the last and shortest month of the year. February originally had 30 days, but when Julius Caesar named the month of July after himself, he decided to make that month longer and shortened February to 29 days while making July a month of 31 days. Later when Octavius Caesar, also known as Augustus, came to power, he named the month of August after himself, and not be outdone he also subtracted a day from February and gave the month of August 31 days. To this very day it remains that way. The ancient Romans believed that every month had a spirit that gained in strength and reached its peak or apex of power in the middle or ides of the month. This was usually the 15th day, and it was a day when witches and augurs, or soothsayers worked their magic. An augur was a person filled with a spirit of divination, and from the word augur we get the word “inaugurate”, which means to “take omens”. Since February had been robbed by Caesars and had only 28 days, the ides of February became the 14th day of that month. Since the Ides of a month was celebrated on the preceding eve, the month of February was unique, because it was the 13th day that became the eve of the Ides that month, and it became a very important pagan holiday in the Empire of Rome. The sacred day of February 14th was called “Lupercalia” or “day of the wolf.” This was a day that was sacred to the sexual frenzy of the goddess Juno. This day also honored the Roman gods, Lupercus and Faunus, as well as the legendary twin brothers, who supposedly founded Rome, Remus and Romulus. These two are said to have been suckled by wolves in a cave on Palatine Hill in Rome. The cave was called Lupercal and was the center of the celebrating on the eve of Lupercalia or February 14th. On this day, Lupercalia, which was later named Valentine’s Day, the Luperci or priests of Lupercus dressed in goatskins for a bloody ceremony. The priests of Lupercus, the wolf god, would sacrifice goats and a dog and then smear themselves with blood. These priests, made red with sacrificial blood, would run around Palatine Hill in a wild frenzy while carving a goatskin thong called a “februa.” Women would sit all around the hill, as the bloody priests would strike them with the goatskin thongs to make them fertile. The young women would then gather in the city and their names were put in boxes. These “love notes” were called “billets.” The men of Rome would draw a billet, and the woman whose name was on it became his sexual lust partner with whom he would fornicate until the next Lupercalia or February 14th.
Thus, February 14th became a day of unbridled sexual lust. The color “red” was sacred to that day because of the blood and the “heart shape” that is popular to this day. The heart-shape was not a representation of the human heart, which looks nothing like it. This shape represents the human female matrix or opening to the chamber of sacred copulation.
When the Gnostic Catholic Church began to get a foothold in Rome around the 3rd century A.D., they became known as Valentinians. The Catholic Valentinians retained the sexual license of the festival in what they called “angels in a nuptial chamber”, which was also called the “sacrament of copulation.” This was said to be an reenactment of the marriage of “Sophia and the Redeemer.” As the participants of the February 14th ritual began their sexual sacrament, presided over and watched by the priests known as Valentinians, the following literary was spoken: “Let the seed of light descend into thy bridal chamber, receive the bridegroom… open thine arms to embrace him. Behold, grace has descended upon thee.”
As time went on, the Orthodox Church suppressed the Gnostic Catholics and manufactured “St. Valentine”, whose day continues to be celebrated in these modern times.
It should be without saying that the Christians should avoid Valentine’s Day like a plague. In God’s eyes, it is still “Lupercalia”, the “Day Of The Wolf.” Men become wolves, as they carry on the Satanic rituals of fornication, which means sexual intercourse without marriage. We have heard of the “wolf whistle”, and we all know that wolves do not whistle. It is lustful men and women, who carry on Satan’s blasphemy to this very day.
In conclusion, we must ask ourselves, “Should a true Christian be associated in any way with this celebration of evil roots? Should we be doing what the heathen have done for so many years and try to justify it as love?” Romans 12:2 answers this very well, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”

Antichrist Sabotage of America!
Antichrist Sabotage of America!
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
John 10:10
"Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, an enemy hath done this……"
Matthew 13:24-28
"Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; to turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your glory?
Isaiah 10:1-3
In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will focus in on what has happened to the erstwhile great nation of the United States of America and examine it. As always, we do this in the light of the Scripture, and thus we expose the spiritual reasons behind the fall of what was once the most powerful nation on earth. There are three questions that must be considered regarding this subject: Who are those that want America to fall? Why do they want America to fall? How are they making America fall?
The answer to the first question is obvious to anyone who has truly studied history. There is an age-old conspiracy consisting of high ranking people in the upper levels of various secret societies. From their vantage point, which is shrouded by secrecy, they are able to plan, scheme, and choreograph the events of the world. In other words, things don't just happen to happen. They happen because someone wants them to happen and has the power to make them happen. It is spiritual wickedness in high places according to Ephesians 6:12. Thus, the major events of history happened by design and manipulation. This includes every major war and revolution. One of these high-ranking Illuminists openly admitted to all of this. The late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt brazenly stated, "….if it happened, you can bet that we planned it that way."
The answer to the second question of why America is being sabotaged is because it must be brought down to a leveling off point so it becomes interdependent on other nations. America is to become just an integral part in a one-world global government. Ultimately this global oligarchy would become a dictatorship under direct control of Lucifer, who is Satan! What thinking person can deny that this is happening before our very eyes? Revelation, chapter 13, reveals this very thing!
The answer to the third question is a little more complex yet obvious. The United States has been spiritually, economically, structurally, and morally dismantled in various ways through simultaneous satanic efforts. There was the attack on the once powerful industrial base of America as millions of good jobs were sent overseas where near slave labor could be obtained for a fraction of the cost. The war in Vietnam was fomented and various anti-war movements then rose up on college campuses throughout the United States. The beatniks of the 1950's became the hippies of the 1960's as our CIA used Dr. Timothy Leary to popularize a mind-altering drug they developed. This drug, LSD, was developed by a Swiss chemist for the CIA and was then used to its full psychedelic potential on an entire generation. Young people used this and other drugs to "trip out," and at the same time occultism and witchcraft began to wrap itself around those involved. Soon witches' spells became popular songs by the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Credence Clearwater Revival, and others. For the full story on this, you may write and request a three-disc set of DVDs we produced entitled "Apocalyptic Rock."
All of this was being done by design as this new generation was being reeducated and indoctrinated by communist college professors. Then, our economy was turned over to base thieves on Wall Street, and our national debt began to soar to astronomical levels while the executives grabbed the money and ran for the tall grass. Meanwhile the ranks of the jobless began to increase exponentially. Incidents of terrorism were also provided, such as the "sneak attack" on the twin towers of the erstwhile World Trade Center. The sneaks in this "sneak attack" were President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and others of that ilk. Such incidents were used as an excuse to use our military as a massive hit squad on other countries to reshape the world in preparation for one-world governance. Then came the mass immunization programs and new designer drugs to dose the people of America. These drugs worked in conjunction with the poison additives in our food and water. Even our air is poisoned by the chemtrails that are filling our skies as airplanes spray their chemicals in patterns above us. All of this was and is being done according to satanic blueprint.
We who are the true children of the Almighty can be thankful that the Lord Jesus Christ is with us until the end of the world. If you have not yet come to Him in faith and repented, the time to do so is now. The Lord Jesus is our Saviour and our only hope. Soon He will return and bring all things into judgment. He will receive you if you pray to him now while a little time remains.

This drug, LSD, was developed by a Swiss chemist for the CIA and was then used to its full psychedelic potential on an entire generation. Young people used this and other drugs to "trip out," and at the same time occultism and witchcraft began to wrap itself around those involved. Soon witches' spells became popular songs by the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Credence Clearwater Revival, and others. For the full story on this, you may write and request a three-disc set of DVDs we produced entitled "Apocalyptic Rock."
All of this was being done by design as this new generation was being reeducated and indoctrinated by communist college professors. Then, our economy was turned over to base thieves on Wall Street, and our national debt began to soar to astronomical levels while the executives grabbed the money and ran for the tall grass. Meanwhile the ranks of the jobless began to increase exponentially. Incidents of terrorism were also provided, such as the "sneak attack" on the twin towers of the erstwhile World Trade Center. The sneaks in this "sneak attack" were President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and others of that ilk. Such incidents were used as an excuse to use our military as a massive hit squad on other countries to reshape the world in preparation for one-world governance. Then came the mass immunization programs and new designer drugs to dose the people of America. These drugs worked in conjunction with the poison additives in our food and water. Even our air is poisoned by the chemtrails that are filling our skies as airplanes spray their chemicals in patterns above us. All of this was and is being done according to satanic blueprint.
We who are the true children of the Almighty can be thankful that the Lord Jesus Christ is with us until the end of the world. If you have not yet come to Him in faith and repented, the time to do so is now. The Lord Jesus is our Saviour and our only hope. Soon He will return and bring all things into judgment. He will receive you if you pray to him now while a little time remains.
The Revived Roman Empire!
The Revived Roman Empire!
A major world event took place on November 19th, 2009, and very few people took notice. The European Union, or United States of Europe, emerged as its first permanent President was selected. This is the position that was supposed to go to former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, but another man was selected by the European Parliament. The man selected is Herman Van Rompuy, who was the Prime Minister of Belgium. In his acceptance speech, Van Rompuy stated the following: "2009 is also the first year of global governance, with the establishment of the G-20 in the middle of the financial crisis. The climate conference in Copenhagen is another step towards the global management of our planet." (1)
Indeed, everything is moving quickly now. I recently received a letter from one of our subscribers in the United Kingdom, and she wrote the following words: "Well, the United Kingdom is now officially not a sovereign state anymore. As of midnight last night, we became integrated into the European Federation…." The nations of Europe are now one, and this is most certainly a latter day revival of the Roman Empire. The original Roman Empire fell in the year 476 A.D. No king or emperor was ever able to revive that empire. In 1534 King Henry VIII of England caused an even greater rift by breaking away from the Roman Catholic Church and starting the Church of England. Thus, there was a physical and a spiritual rift, a deadly wound, which seemed impossible to heal. When we add those numbers of 476 and 1534 together, we have the number 2010, the first full year of the revived Roman Empire.
The new and first permanent President of the European Union, Herman Van Rompuy is a Machiavellian schemer and illuminist. He is considered to be an economic wizard and his politics are unpredictable. He bends in every direction. When King Albert II of Belgium was presented with a law to legalize abortion, the King said he would rather abdicate than sign it. He reportedly did abdicate, being a strict Roman Catholic, and Van Rompuy, also a devout Catholic, signed abortion into law. Afterward, the king, Albert II, returned to power. Van Rompuy is sometimes referred to as "the original Belgian waffle." This new head of the revived Roman Empire was born on the witches' sabat of Samhain, or Halloween, in 1947. (2) We must also note that Van Rompuy was not elected but rather selected by the European Parliament. The word parliament is of great significance to those in witchcraft and occultism. From the time of the Middle Ages, witches would gather under the oak trees and draw a magic circle, or hexagram, in the ground. Thirteen coven members would stand in position inside the circle to both summon spirits and cast spells. Numbers of owls would gather in nearby trees, and the witches referred to them as a parliament. They were called wise owls because the word witch is derived from the word wicca and means "wise ones." The Bible refers to owls as "doleful creatures of the night." To this day, owls are associated with witches and spooky things of the night, and interestingly, zoologists refer to a flock of owls as a parliament. (3) I do not doubt that the European Parliament consists of doleful creatures of the night, and how appropriate that their leader was born on Halloween. Watch and pray as this new super power rises to prominence.
