Another Generation

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 2 Thessalonians 2:7

Joshua, the successor of Moses who brought the children of Israel into their inheritance, around the time of his departure, warned them and told them about the consequences of the action they were about to make. He saw their evil passion for idolatry, self-will and tendency to depart from the worship of the living God. He made them realize the implication though and asked them to choose between the almighty God and the gods of the land. And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, Choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served  that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15

God commanded and warned us that he will not tolerate idol worship along-side with his worship. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not bow down thyself  to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, Exodus 20:3 & 5a. Halloween has become another god worshipped and celebrated every October ending and it has also become a special national day for many countries of the world. This evil act is not now limited to the unbelievers but Halloween is now recognized and celebrated in churches. Think of it, the costume and the attires of vampire put on by the young and old, the display of darkness and transference of demonic spirits to loose, ignorant and innocent souls. This is confusion and pure idolatry!

It is a sin and gross rebellion against the holy God who hate all forms of idolatry. If Satan is worshipped directly or indirectly during Halloween in October,  a day of thanksgiving is declared to the almighty God in November and the birth of Jesus is celebrated in December, can't you see that this is serious confusion. This generation wants to have it all, a taste of darkness and light. It is abnormal and unholy! There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. Proverbs 30:12.

Remember, the singular act of idolatry made God to abhor and detest Israel. God's own people and nation was rejected by a jealous God who cannot be co-worshipped with any other thing. If  God rejected and judged the nation of Israel because of idolatry, certainly, he will do likewise for anyone or nation who engages in such. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 2 Timothy 2:19 You cannot sit on the fence, it is either you are solely for God or for Satan.
