A Complete End Times Guide to Witches and Witchcraft

WITCHCRAFT

There is MUCH written in God’s Word about witches and witchcraft.

NONE of what is written is encouraging to those who follow this dark path.

Probably the passage which MOST condemns witches and witchcraft and WHY is in Deuteronomy.

“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

BUT, the verses in Deuteronomy 18 are NOT the only warnings against witches and witchcraft in God’s Word.

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

FINALLY, there is God’s command in Exodus, which is VERY clear.

“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”
–Exodus 22:18

This echoes Leviticus 20:27.

“A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.”
–Leviticus 20:27

Witches are DECEIVERS.

They begin by deceiving listeners to where they obtain their power. Witches do NOT get power from ‘spells’ or ‘hexes.’ Witches obtain their power SOLELY from familiar spirits, a form of devil who HATES human (including witches). God’s Word is NOT shy about broadcasting this FACT.

1SAMUEL relates the account of King Saul of Israel visiting a lady called ‘the Witch of Endor’. This is one of the reasons God let Saul die.

“Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor. And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee. And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die? And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing. Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul. And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth. And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do. Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy? And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David: Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day. Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines. Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.”
–1SAMUEL 28:7-20

There are two groups of individuals called The Craft. One is witches; the other is Freemasons.

Does the reader have any clues as to why this might be?

Witches do NOT enjoy very strong powers. The too-many-to-count-stories of witches being burned at the stake and otherwise killed attest to this.

Yes, witches DO have access to supernatural power not possessed of most other humans.

No, this power is NOT strong enough to protect the witch from harm.

OR, may it IS strong enough–but the spirit chooses NOT to use his power to protect the witch?

Witches are at this moment enjoying a revival of sorts in the media, which cannot find enough good things to say about the witch.

Along with this campaign to spruce up the history of witchcraft, is another media campaign which paints witches and witchcraft as just another ‘lifestyle choice’–instead of a choice between sin and righteousness.

Can the reader hazard a guess as to why the timing of these two campaigns are what they are?

Many witches want the world to know that they are NO different than the next gal.  But these women who are witches have familiar spirits–which is a BIG no-no in the Bible.

The recruitment of women to be witches is almost always aimed at those groups who traditionally have little power: mostly teen-age girls.  Witchcraft becomes VERY attractive to this group of powerless women because witchcraft offers them the hope of becoming POWERFUL.

From experience, the reader should be able to discern that this is largely a FALSE HOPE.

DID the reader pick up any odd or interesting bits of information?

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

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
