THE FALL OF NATIONS
 
 
Cultures Steeped In Paganism
 
Is there anywhere to turn where there is no false god?   The rest of the world is overrun with pagan worship. In many cultures the days of the week as well as the names of the months are named after demigods. Through the centuries the names which may now be pronounced as well as spelled differently still carry these demigods to this day.  Even English!

" Sunday: Old English Sunnandæg (pronounced [ˈsunnɑndæj]), meaning "sun's day". This is a translation of the Latin phrase dies Solis. English, like most of the Germanic languages, preserves the day's association with the sun. Many other European languages, including all of the Romance languages, have changed its name to the equivalent of "the Lord's day" (based on Ecclesiastical Latin dies Dominica). In both West Germanic and North Germanic mythology, the Sun is personified as Sunna/Sól.

Monday: Old English Mōnandæg (pronounced [ˈmoːnɑndæj]), meaning "Moon's day". This is equivalent to the Latin name dies lunae. In North Germanic mythology, the Moon is personified as Máni.

Tuesday: Old English Tīwesdæg (pronounced [ˈtiːwezdæj]), meaning "Tiw's day". Tiw (Norse Týr) was a one-handed god associated with single combat and pledges in Norse mythology and also attested prominently in wider Germanic paganism. The name of the day is also related to the Latin name dies Martis, "Day of Mars".

Wednesday: Old English Wōdnesdæg (pronounced [ˈwoːdnezdæj]) meaning the day of the Germanic god Woden (known as Óðinn among the North Germanic peoples), and a prominent god of the Anglo-Saxons (and other Germanic peoples) in England until about the seventh century. It is also vaguely related to the Latin counterpart dies Mercurii, "Day of Mercury". The Icelandic Miðviku, German Mittwoch, Low German Middeweek and Finnish keskiviikko all mean mid-week.

Thursday: Old English Þūnresdæg (pronounced [ˈθuːnrezdæj]), meaning 'Þunor's day'. Þunor means thunder or its personification, the Norse god known in Modern English as Thor. Similarly Dutch donderdag, German Donnerstag ('thunder's day'), Finnish torstai, and Scandinavian Torsdag ('Thor's day'). Thor's day corresponds to Latin dies Iovis, "day of Jupiter".

Friday: Old English Frīgedæg (pronounced [ˈfriːjedæj]), meaning the day of the Anglo-Saxon goddess Fríge. The Norse name for the planet Venus was Friggjarstjarna, 'Frigg's star'. It is based on the Latin dies Veneris, "Day of Venus".

Saturday: named after the Roman god Saturn associated with the Titan Cronus, father of Zeus and many Olympians. Its original Anglo-Saxon rendering was Sæturnesdæg (pronounced [ˈsæturnezdæj]). In Latin, it was dies Saturni, "Day of Saturn". The Scandinavian Lørdag/Lördag deviates significantly as it has no reference to either the Norse or the Roman pantheon; it derives from old Norse laugardagr, literally "washing-day". The German Sonnabend (mainly used in northern and eastern Germany) and the Low German words Sünnavend mean "Sunday Eve", the German word Samstag (mainly used in southern and western Germany) derives from the name for Shabbat." ~ Wikipedia - Names Of The Days Of The Week

 
REGARDING AMERICA~
Where have all the nations gone? Where are those great nations of ages pasts?  Some great, some not so great.   From barbarism to empires and then back to barbarism.  What happened? 
 
Some learn from the past and make attempts to guard from traveling those paths, however inevitably from one generation to the next it gets lost along the way and mankind again falls in pagan practices and destroys their own future for a variety of reason; though they were in truth the same reason as nations in times past.
 
Over and over generation to generation. God almighty gave specific instructions of how mankind was to live and if they would do these simple basic civil ways He would bless and societies would build, families would grow and expand and generations would live in peace. But, mankind would rather not. 
 
Hence the creation of false god, opening up their hearts and minds to evil spirit who eagerly come to indwell and destroy.  And there is pride of believing one knows better than their Creator.  
What was it that was so difficult to do? 
What was it that God repeated time and again?
What was it that mankind shut their ears to with such disdain that they would slaughter their children, shred the natural union of man and woman ceasing the natural joining together to separate and join with that which is unnatural and destroys future generations?
 
We kill ourselves, many without realizing it.  Though if we would simply observe beyond ourselves we would see many at the hands of those who simply want to strip all they can from whomever for their own gain even if it results in physical death as well as eternal death.  Pride is their mantel and they will not be told they are walking contrary to the natural order.
  
More importantly, what is happening.  We see it in many nations here in the year 2020.  This page will focus mostly on The United States of America giving a brief overview from whence it came to it's fervent attempts of maintaining level of society which now has many cracks in the foundation and is crumbling in many quarters. 

The celebration of Christmas has become a tradition for church and family in many cultures.  We were taught this is the day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.  And then there is also the added 'festivities' of Santa Claus for the kids, complete with reindeer, stockings, adorning a tree with which to put the presents under, yule log in the fire

  1. Niether the Apostles nor did the early church celebrate His birth, at all.
  2. 245 ~ keeping His birthday was declared to be a sin.
  3. 354 ~ The first mention of a Nativity feast appears in the Philocalian calendar, a Roman listing December 25th as the day of Jesus’ (Son of God) birth a date chosen specifically to coincided with the celebration of Rome's Sun God.
    These festivities spread to many nations taking on different nuances and were added to other pagan practices.
  4. In in the founding phases of the establishment of America it is noted:
  5. 1600's ~ The Reformation Protestants did not celebrate and the Puritans & Pilgrims outlawed it in
  6. 1830-1842 ~  “the festival of the nativity was not observed in the primitive church” ~ Encyclopedia Britannica, 7th Ed.
  7. 1836 ~ Alabama became the first state to mark it a legal holiday 
  8. 1840's 1853/1888 ~  various reports of the first Christmas tree arriving at the White House, but was sporadic until 1960 when it became an annual tradition.
  9. 1855 ~ Presbyterians, Baptists and Methodists refused to recognize it as a holiday.
  10. 1870 ~ Public schools in Boston were still open for classes on December 25th
  11. 1913 ~ many States did not even recognize it as a legal holiday ~ Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, 1913 Ed., p. 253.
  12. 1960's ~ The Kennedy Administration started the annual tradition of erecting a Christmas tree at the White House
  13. "Today ~ Approximately 25-30 million Real Christmas Trees are sold each year in the United States. Almost all of these come from Christmas Tree plantations." ~The Rocks Christmas Tree Farm, Bethlehem, NH

Note the acceleration these past few decades. For over two hundred years, from the first permanent English settlement in America in 1607, the majority of Bible believing Christians did not celebrate Christmas in America. However, with increased Roman Catholicism from the mid to late 1800's the practice spread and gained acceptance except for the few who knew.  And Rome is not finished.

 On The Current Home Front For Many Nations

The nation that embraces homosexuality and the slaughter of the innocent will be destroyed. The God of all creation is very clear on that.  Though He will wait and allow a nation to repent and He will send warnings; if they do not then He must remove them.  They become so sadistic and evil that they cannot continue.  They destroy themselves.  It is because of His great LOVE that He brings an end.

In the 1930s, British anthropologist J.D. Unwin studied 86 cultures that stretched across 5,000 years. He found, without exception, when they restricted sex to marriage, they thrived.Strong families headed by faithful spouses made for bold, prosperous societies. But not one culture survived more than three generations after turning sexually permissive.
Noted Harvard sociologist Pitirim Sorokin found no culture surviving once it ceased to support marriage and monogamy. None.

Standing on 1000s of years of paganism.  It does not matter how old the country it, the people in it have been exposed for generations.  God's word is the ONLY path that leads from self destruction to everlasting life.

Hidden Emblems of Paganism

It just becomes something that you are accustomed to and do not question because for you it always has been.  Which is one of many reasons why the LORD God wants us to teach our children about Him and His ways which give us life and blessings.  Any other path will lead to destruction.

Most people do not realize Satanic emblems are on our foods and we eat them

There are thousands of symbols in many of our homes though we are blind to them because we were never taught about them or do not want to have to address and remove them.  They are comfortable in our lives. But we MUST become aware of them and remove them from our homes and from our lives.  There are spiritual implications that we cannot see, but that are a danger to us.  God LOVES us and died for our sins.  What are we doing with other gods that will take us to HELL?  Remove them, destroy them, give them no ground in your life.

"And the Lord said to Moses, "Come up to Me to the mountain and remain there, and I will give you the stone tablets,
the Law and the commandments, which I have written to instruct them." ~ Exodus 24:12
 
"This is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances that the Lord, your God, commanded to teach you,
to perform in the land into which you are about to pass, to possess it. In order that you fear the Lord, your God,
to keep all His statutes and His commandments that I command you, you, your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life,
and in order that your days may be lengthened.
And you shall, [therefore,] hearken, O Israel, and be sure to perform, so that it will be good for you,
and so that you may increase exceedingly, just as the Lord, the God of your fathers, spoke to you,
a land flowing with milk and honey. 
 
Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God; the Lord is one.
And you shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart and with all your soul,
and with all your means.
 
And these words, which I command you this day, shall be upon your heart.
And you shall teach them to your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house,
 and when you walk on the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up.
And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for ornaments between your eyes. 
And you shall inscribe them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates. 
And it will be, when the Lord, your God, brings you to the land He swore to your fathers,
to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you,
great and good cities that you did not build, and houses full of all good things that you did not fill,
and hewn cisterns that you did not hew,
vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant, and you will eat and be satisfied.
Beware, lest you forget the Lord, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 
 
You shall fear the Lord, your God, worship Him, and swear by His name. 
 
Do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you. 
For the Lord, your God, is a zealous God among you, lest the wrath of the Lord, your God, be kindled against you, and destroy you off the face of the earth." ~ Deuteronomy 6:1-15
