Paganism Today
T h e F a l l O f N a t i o n s
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
Neither the Apostles nor did the early
church celebrate His birth, at all.
245 ~ keeping His birthday was declared
to be a sin.
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.
In in the founding phases of the
establishment of America it is noted:
1600's ~ The Reformation Protestants
did not celebrate and the Puritans & Pilgrims outlawed it in
1830-1842 ~ “the festival of the
nativity was not observed in the primitive church” ~ Encyclopedia
Britannica, 7th Ed.
1836 ~ Alabama became the first state
to mark it a legal holiday
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.
1855 ~ Presbyterians, Baptists and
Methodists refused to recognize it as a holiday.
1870 ~ Public schools in Boston were
still open for classes on December 25th
1913 ~ many States did not even
recognize it as a legal holiday ~ Webster's Revised Unabridged
Dictionary, 1913 Ed., p. 253.
1960's ~ The Kennedy Administration
started the annual tradition of erecting a Christmas tree at the
White House
"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,
vineyard 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 ~
