End Times Puzzle: God’s Word or the Words of Man. Which Will It Be?

One end times puzzle which men STILL have trouble solving: what will they believe, the Word of God OR the words of man?

What will they follow: the Word of God OR the words of man?

What do they believe in: the Word of God OR the words of other men?

This was all illustrated by recent events.

Someone who professes a belief in Jesus Christ and who had spent most of their adult life physically working out recently confessed to being confronted with a “puzzle.”

“I do not really want to grow weaker. I may have use of physical strength or endurance in the future in order to help someone. But the Bible isn’t big on physical workouts.”

“For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. “
–1TIMOTHY 4:8

“So what can I do?”

While a believer is to maintain his body in good order and not purposely corrupt it,

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”
–1CORINTHIANS 6:19

he is to rely on God for his needs.

IF, at some point in the future, physical strength and endurance are truly needed, such things will be provided by God Almighty.

“Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
–Isaiah 40:30-31

This is just one more end times choice man will make: to follow the Word of God or the words of man.

Tragically, most men forsake the Word of God in favor of the wisdom of man.

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
–Proverbs 14:12

DOES the reader believe he has to “make his own way” or no way will exist for him?

DOES the reader spend his free time planning what he will do in case of future emergencies and calamities?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

DOES the reader believe he is saved?

Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

Satan’s Time is Short: Tick Tick Tick

“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
–Revelation 12:12

Though Satan and his deceived minions do not like to talk about it, the devil comes with an expiration date.

Though his followers labor in darkness and deception, Satan himself knows the facts of the matter.

Satan is a created being.
Satan’s creator has always had the devil on a short leash.
Satan has a limited time to work his mischief and then: judgment for his activities throughout all of these long years will dictate the devil’s eternal doom.

Perhaps all of this seemed so far away thousands of years ago.

But now?

Satan’s eternal bill is almost due and, as God’s Word–which is true–declares, the devil has “great wrath.”

Understandably.

It is supposed this is the primary reason Satan exhibits such overwhelming hatred of Jesus Christ, God’s Word and Christian believers

All three remind him that his time grows short.

One reason for believers to keep their eyes on the future as Satan makes things difficult for them in these last days.

OF COURSE, Satan is a liar–and all liars have a particular talent for lying to and deceiving themselves.

So perhaps Satan really does believe he will figure a way out of his circumstance.

In the meantime, tick tick tick.

“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”
–Revelation 20:10

DOES the reader walk the narrow path to life OR the path to eternal torment via the wide path to destruction?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

Witchcraft: 20 Quotes on Witchcraft, About Witches, By Witches

“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD”
–Deuteronomy 18:10-12

Like the other forbidden practices listed in Deuteronomy 18:10-12, witchcraft involves consulting with a familiar spirit.

Witches and their apologists can chatter on about spells, hexes and other metaphysical, magical mumbo jumbo, but any power a witch has comes from a demon which demands various and sundry sacrifices in exchange for that power.

Ultimately, witchcraft is about rebelling against authority (usually the “patriarchy,” which represents God Almighty).

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.”
–1Samual 15:23

Which is one reason wherever witches congregate, the original rebel, Lucifer, is not far behind.

Witches are no more immune to deception than any other moderns. Most witches know that all is not as they present it to be.

So while witchcraft is to be condemned, the witch is to be prayed for.

With all that in mind, we present 20 quotes on witchcraft.

[For the most part, these 20 quotes are by witches about witches/witchcraft. While not every quote is by a publicly professed witch, most are. There is simply no way of knowing if all quotes are by witches without the person quoted revealing such information.]

“A Witch is a person who has honestly explored their light and has evolved to celebrate their darkness.”
—Dacha Avelin

“Some witches practice Wicca, which is a narrow subset of witchcraft with more specific gods, goddesses, symbols, and holidays. But many more practice a broader, indefinable brand of witchcraft based on intuition. The edges of this group also bleed into other more mainstream arenas such as yoga and meditation, mindfulness, new-age spirituality, and even sex positivity.”
—Alden Wicker

“Never put your faith in a Prince. When you require a miracle, put your faith in a witch.”
—Catherynne M. Valente

“I have friends who practice witchcraft, and I study tarot myself. I guess, to be specific, I don’t want to believe in a world without magic.”
—Kate Leth

“For all you know, a witch may be living next door to you right now.”
—Roald Dahl

“Spells are just prayers with more steps and a name that scares people.”
–Lily Anderson

“I believe witchcraft is one of the powers in the hierarchy of demons Paul listed in Ephesians 6:12. Just as the Holy Spirit is the power of God, witchcraft is a power of the enemy.”
—Jennifer LeClaire

“A witch ought never to be frightened in the darkest forest, Granny Weatherwax had once told her, because she should be sure in her soul that the most terrifying thing in the forest was her.”
—Terry Pratchett

“One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar and I didn’t know it. I mean there was a little blood there, and something like that.”
Christine O’Donnell

“On every full moon, rituals … take place on hilltops, beaches, in open fields and in ordinary houses. Writers, teachers, nurses, computer programmers, artists, lawyers, poets, plumbers, and auto mechanics — women and men from many backgrounds come together to celebrate the mysteries of the Triple Goddess of the Dance of Life. The religion they practice is called Witchcraft.”
—Starhawk

“Most people think witches are a coven of lesbians dancing naked in the forest celebrating the semen stolen from imprisoned hypnotized males, which they then use to inseminate one another using turkey basters in order to create a legion of demon babies. Well, that’s only part of it. We are also active in community outreach programs.”
—Amy Sedaris, Paul Dinello and Stephen Colbert

“Witchcraft is, in essence, Goddess Worship.”
—Teresa Moorey

“To deny the possibility, nay, the actual existence of witchcraft and sorcery, is at once flatly to contradict the revealed word of God in various passages both of the Old and New Testament, and the thing itself is a Truth to which every nation in the world hath, in its turn, borne testimony, by either example seemingly well attested or by prohibitory laws, which at least suppose the possibility of a commerce with evil spirits.”
—Sir William Blackstone

“All magic, all witchcraft, depends on the Devil, and is fundamentally evil.”
—Montague Summers

“Most books on witchcraft will tell you that witches work naked. This is because most books on witchcraft were written by men.”
—Neil Gaiman

[NOTE: The above quote does not address whether witches work naked or not. It attempts to manipulate the reader by pretending that a prime reason for thinking so is because men–who are slobbering, salacious brutes–have written their lustful desires (instead of the truth) into their description of the pure-as-the-driven-snow witches.]

“Witchcraft is fun. It offers us a chance to play, to act silly, to let the inner child come out. Out of foolishness and play, creativity is born.”
—Starhawk

“Modern witchcraft, a movement that is being propelled out of the forest and into the mainstream. The hook-nosed, broom-riding, pointy-hat-wearing, cackling witches of yore have transfigured into hip, feminist, millennial women with slick websites and soothing advice on manifesting your dreams. Instead of a bubbling cauldron filled with eye of the newt, they’re slinging essential oils seeped with wild herbs.”
—Alden Wicker

“Witchcraft is practiced by a growing number of lapsed Christians seeking easy gratification for life’s most pressing needs: sex, hot clothes, relief from rotten marriages. The Christian Post reported in 2013 that multiple conservative scholars have concluded that there were more than 200,000 people who have declared themselves witches in the United States, and as many as 8 million undeclared practitioners of “the craft.” This makes sorcery the second-fastest-growing religion in the US, after Islam.”
—Selah Ally Tower

“There is a collective force reawakening on the Earth each day: the reawakening of the Witch. Within every woman drawn to the path of witchcraft resides the powerful spirit of the Witch.”
― Dacha Avelin

“Witchcraft is seeing a resurgence among queer-identified young people seeking a powerful identity that celebrates the freedom to choose who you are.”
—Moira Donovan

DOES the reader believe that witchcraft is access to supernatural power with no strings attached?

DOES the reader find–for this and for perhaps other reasons–witchcraft to be attractive?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

A Choice of Two Different End Times Paths

“Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee”
–Jeremiah 32:17

Confronted by the fact that God Almighty is all powerful, one can then choose one of two paths.

1- One can submit and worship the Creator of all; OR

2- One can rebel, attempt to enlist others to help in this rebellion with the aim of overthrowing God Almighty.

(A third choice is the one chosen by many moderns: worship God with one’s mouth, do not actively assist in such a rebellion against Him, BUT if said rebellion appears to be successful, be ready to drift over to the other side.)

It is obvious that Satan chose path number 2.

It is also obvious that the Father of Lies never tires of trying to enlist man to assist him in his fruitless quest to overthrow God Almighty.

Perhaps this is why “submission” and “to submit” is taught to be qualities of the weak and cowardly.

SO, while Satan may have made his choice–and will have to live eternally with the consequences of his choice–men still have a choice: submit to God OR follow Satan in his rebellion.

A line of dialogue from the movie, Devil’s Advocate (1997) addresses the devil’s ultimate futility.

Kevin (Satan’s son in the movie): In the Bible, you lose. We’re destined to lose, Dad.

Satan: Well, consider the source, son. Besides, we’re gonna write our own book; Chapter 1, right here.

NOTICE that Satan did not contradict his celluloid son (that Satan was destined to lose). He only challenged God’s Word, then quickly changed the subject to writing “our own book.” Satan has been honing this particular trick for a long time.

As it was in the garden of Eden, so is it in 2018.

“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”
–Genesis 3:4-5

In the garden, the serpent (Satan) challenged God’s Word with “Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”
–Genesis 3:1

In 2018, Satan challenges God’s Word with “Consider the source.”

Satan does not have to come up with new deceptions; his old ones are still working quite well.

Because man is deceived by Satan, the great majority of men will follow the prince of this world into the lake of fire.

“And the great dragon…that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world”
–Revelation 12:9

“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
–Revelation 20:10,15

All because of one choice made.

One very wrong choice.

The choice? Submit or rebel.

Which path has the reader chosen to walk?

HAS the reader chosen a path which is broad and wide and leads to destruction?

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
–Matthew 7:13-14

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
