"A fictional horror creature popularized by Internet memes is now linked to three violent crimes.

A week after two 12-year-old Wisconsin girls allegedly stabbed their friend 19 times to honor Slender Man, more real-life connections to the spooky character are emerging.

A man accused of killing two cops and a civilian before committing suicide with his wife in Las Vegas on Sunday often dressed up in costume as Slender Man, a neighbor told KTNV.

And a Cincinnati mom told WLWT she thinks her daughter may have been inspired by Slender Man when she attacked her with a knife in their kitchen, wearing a hood and white mask."

"The middle school girls allegedly stabbed their classmate 19 times Saturday in an act of allegiance to Slenderman, a mythical creature they read about online. The girls said they read about the character on creepypasta.wikia.com, a website that publishes short, creepy stories. They planned to kill the girl and then run away to Slenderman's mansion in a Wisconsin forest, they told police. The two girls were charged as adults with attempted first-degree murder Monday. If convicted, they could face up to 65 years in prison."

Easter or Passover?

I recently had a good friend email me and ask how I felt about Passover. She was curious about what our responsibilities as Christians are to celebrate the Passover. I was SO honored that she valued my opinion on the topic enough to reach out to me! I only hope that I helped her find the information she was seeking.

Easter versus Passover is a very controversial topic, especially for Christians. We grow up learning stories and singing songs - and we build traditions that have deep connections to our soul.

For this reason, I want to disclose something right up front:
I am NOT trying to condemn or judge what you believe. Your relationship with God is just that... yours. How you express your love and gratitude to Him regarding His birth and resurrection - is between you and Him. I've celebrated both Easter AND Passover and felt spiritually fulfilled with both at the time I was celebrating them. For this reason - I don't condemn anyone. We're all on a journey. We're all at different stages. We all interpret things differently and we're all learning.

That being said, I've been a truth-seeker for most of my life. I grew up being taught certain principles that I didn't understand, so I left that path and landed on the opposite end of the spectrum. Neither side had all of the answers and I learned a very valuable lesson to always seek the truth for myself. I feel like for the first time in my life, I've uncovered the answers I was searching for. The puzzle pieces fit nicely and I can clearly see the picture.

The information I'm about to share is what I've learned throughout my journey, especially within the last year and a half. It has roots in both historical and biblical accounts.

Jesus spoke to the Jews who had believed him. “If you obey my teaching,” he said, “you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth. And the truth will set you free.”

John 8:31-32

The truth about Easter and Passover – is that one is biblical and the other is not.

PASSOVER

http://concordianews.org/kids/2011/1104-pass.htm

Many people think of Passover as one of the plagues of Egypt where the angel of death passed over the houses and killed the first born children. This is the origin of Passover. It’s been celebrated in remembrance of that event for thousands of years. Every year on Passover, the priests slay a Passover lamb and the Jews commemorate the event. The day after Passover ends, the Jews celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread where they remove leavening from their home. Three days later, they celebrate the Feast of First Fruits.

How does this tie into the story of Jesus? Well, everything in Judaism is calculated. God gave specific instructions for specific times to carry out the celebrations. Jesus died on Passover at the exact moment when the rabbi's were sacrificing the Passover lamb. It's no coincidence that Jesus is called the "lamb of God". He literally became the Passover lamb that was slain for our sins. At the exact second that the priests were killing the lamb for the Passover celebration, God sacrificed a Passover Lamb of His own.

http://www.doctrinalhomilyoutlines.com/2013/01/three-parallels-in-the-passover-and-the-eucharist/

Jesus was buried on the Feast of Unleavened Bread. In Judaism, as soon as the sun sets, the current day ends and the next begins. If I were to tell you that Jesus was buried on the Feast of Unleavened Bread, you might assume that he was buried the next day. But this is incorrect. He was buried on same day that he died, but because the sun had set, it was considered the next day already. At the exact moment when the Jews were removing leavening from their home, he was removing sin from our record.

Three days later, Jesus rose from the grave on the Feast of First Fruits. At the exact moment that the Jews were bringing the first of their spring crops to present to the Lord, Jesus was taking the place of our tithe to God. He was our first fruits offering to God.

I wont go into much detail on this, but it is widely believed that because He fulfilled the spring feasts in His first coming, He will fulfill the fall feasts in his return. (Feast of Trumpets - his return to earth is always accompanied by trumpets throughout the Bible, Atonement - where we're getting ourselves right and turning from our sins - possibly the tribulation period, and then Feast of Tabernacles - where we're caught up together with him and celebrate in our new heavenly homes.)

Rather than observing the original story of Passover, we have a new meaning and a new reason to celebrate Passover in remembrance of HIM. After all, God commanded that this holy day be celebrated forever. (Exodus 12:14, Leviticus 16:29, Leviticus 16:31, Leviticus 23:21) You even see the disciples keeping Passover after Christ had ascended. (Acts 2:1, Acts 20:16, Acts 18:20-21, Luke 22:1, Luke 22:19)

http://thespiritmagnus.blogspot.com/2013/03/rome-is-where-heart-is-eucharist-food.html

Christ commanded his disciples to remember Him on Passover in the famous passage where he's having communion with them. The "last supper" actually took place on the first night of Passover. He took the bread and broke it, and the wine and drank it and then said, "Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 1 Corinthians 11:25

He wasn't actually telling them to remember Him every time they drank. They were celebrating a special occasion, so naturally the next time they would drink in this particular way would be on the same occasion... Passover. In the same way that they had been celebrating Passover for thousands of years in remembrance of their ancestors being freed from slavery, Jesus was asking them to remember HIM on Passover in the future... and commemorate His sacrifice which freed US from the bondage of our sin.

I can't think of a more beautiful reason to celebrate Passover, as a Christian.

EASTER

Here's where we're going to tap into LOTS of controversy. Strap yourselves in.

The truth is that Easter really has nothing to do with Jesus. The name “Easter” is the English translation of the name “Ishtar” who was a fertility goddess in ancient Babylonia. That's why Easter is associated with eggs and bunnies, both symbols of fertility.  Back in ancient times, people worshiped the sun, moon and stars as their gods. This is why most of the ancient “gods” were sun gods and goddesses.

Here are some of the most well known sun gods and goddesses worshiped in ancient cultures: Baal and Ashtoreth (Phoenicia), Osiris and Isis (Egypt), Adonis and Aphrodite (Greece), Cupid and Venus (Rome) and Nimrod and Semiramis (Babylon), who later became known as Ishtar.

http://ancientpeoples.tumblr.com/post/26838754545/ishtar-is-the-assyrian-and-babylonian-goddess

Notice a trend with the sun goddesses? Venus and Aphrodite were both known for love and seduction. So it's no coincidence that Ishtar was known as a fertility goddess. She declared a ceremony to be performed every year on the sun-rise immediately following the first full moon after the spring equinox. This is where we get our “sun-rise service” that is still practiced today on Easter Sunday. I wont go into the specifics of her ceremony, but it's very vulgar. You can research it on your own.

Ishtar had a son with her husband Nimrod (the same Nimrod who built the tower of Babel). They named him Tammuz. Ishtar's name is not specifically mentioned in the bible, however she is commonly referred to as the "queen of heaven" in scripture. Tammuz's name, on the other hand, is found in the Bible, along with Nimrod. So are Baal and Ashtoreth. (1 Kings 11:5)  - Keep in mind that they're all the same people, but they were called by different names according to different cultures.

https://www.biblearchaeology.org/post/2006/10/30/who-was-nimrod.aspx

Tammuz grew up to be an incredible hunter. According to Babylonian legend – he was out hunting in his 40th year and was killed by a wild boar. This was a HUGE event in ancient times because he was considered to be a “god”. The Bible actually backs this story up. “Then he brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, mourning the god Tammuz.” Ezekiel 8:14

http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/582039/Tammuz

The mourning of his death was taken very seriously in the ancient world. In fact, Ishtar commanded that her followers give up something of importance to them for 40 days each year on the anniversary of his death. She believed that if they sacrificed something that they enjoyed, then her son could enjoy it in the afterlife. This is the origin of the Catholic practice of lent. She also commanded her followers to eat ham on the anniversary of his death– because he was killed by a boar. This is where we get our Easter ham.

Throughout scripture, you see God trying to protect and separate his people the Jews. Clearly, there was a lot of paganism going on in the background of history. Lots of sun gods and goddesses that the rest of civilization were worshiping. God was continually trying to keep his people away from it all. He put strict boundaries on their practices to keep them from being corrupted. He even put these at the top of the 10 commandments!

The first 3 commandments establish who the true God is, and His disdain for the worship of other gods and idols. I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. I can see why it was so important for him to drill this in.

Throughout history, as Christianity evolved and we accepted more and more outsiders into our faith –they brought with them portions of their own heritage.  Apparently, these cultural beliefs, through one form or another, were slowly merged into the Christian story. This is the exact merge that God was trying desperately to warn us against.

History has proven that we've merged beliefs across the board - including our Sabbath.

http://www.end-times-prophecy.org/roman-catholic-sun-worship-eucharist.html

Sunday was originally the date that the pagans worshipped their "sun" gods. It was the Roman Emperor Constantine that changed the date of worship for Christians from Saturday to Sunday. He was trying to make Christianity more appealing to pagans. In his seemingly innocent desire to make Christianity the most popular religion in the world, he basically told the pagans – “We’ll change our date of worship so that you can keep worshiping on the date you always have, just worship our God instead.”  This new date of worship got passed down into what eventually became the Roman Catholic Church.

The origins of Easter/Ishtar date back all the way to Nimrod, and was being celebrated long before Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt. It's no coincidence that this pagan sun-rise service, falls so closely to the Passover celebration that God commanded his children to observe.

There's a book out by an author I like - and I LOVE the title. It's called the "Cosmic Chess Match." The whole idea is that this underlying war of Satan against God is constantly a game of move and then counter-move. God moves and Satan counter-moves. Whatever God has, Satan tries to beat him to the punch and put something in place that is very similar in appearance and yet opposite end of the spectrum spiritually. Case in point: Easter vs Passover.

The Bible does forewarn us that Satan's whole purpose is to "kill, steal and destroy". (John 10:10) This not only applies to us on a personal level, but also to our spiritual relationship with our creator - the very thing that God desires the most. If the devil can lead us astray and manipulate us to believe that we're doing something that honors God, then he not only has us fooled, but He's also hurting the heart of God in the process.

If you think about it... it's pretty conniving!

I realize that this is a big pill to swallow, and I also realize that not everyone will want to believe this as truth... and that's OK. I'm simply sharing what I've learned - take it or leave it. There are those who are seeking answers for the puzzle pieces that don't quite fit. I only hope that I've helped you find what you were looking for.

Be Blessed!

Enoch: The Great-Grandfather of Noah

In keeping with my recent Noah theme, I wanted to take you back before the flood to the time of Noah's great-grandfather Enoch. The bible only offers a tiny blurb of Enoch's story in scripture.

"And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah. And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. And all the days of Enoch were 365 years. And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him." Genesis 5:21-24

"By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God." Hebrews 11:5

"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, 'Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.'" Jude 1:14-15

According to scripture, Enoch lived 365 years and he was so favored by God that he didn't die. Scripture says that God literally "translated" him off the earth. It is widely believed that Enoch was the first person in history ever to be raptured.

It is also speculated that Enoch will be one of the two witnesses mentioned in the book of Revelations, along with the prophet Elijah. Neither of these men had physical deaths on earth. Hebrews 9:27 says that it is appointed for all men to die once, and afterwards to face judgement. This scripture serves as the foundation for the theory that these two men will return to earth to face physical death at the hand of the Antichrist.

So how does Enoch play into the story of Noah? Well, Enoch was around during the time of the flood and he also played an intricate part in the judgement of the fallen angels that we discussed in Genesis 6.

How many of you are familiar with the dead sea scrolls? How many of you are aware that an entire book was found in the dead sea scrolls containing solely the story of Enoch? It's true! In fact, parts of the book have been dated to 300 BC. The interesting part is that the Book of Enoch was considered to be lost until the 17th century. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church had actually preserved the book in their bible! Copies were obtained from the Ethiopian Church and brought to Britain in 1773. The copy found with the dead sea scrolls in 1947 only confirmed the authenticity of the book.

References throughout scripture further authenticate the Book of Enoch and also prove that the ancients, including Christ himself, were very familiar with the Book of Enoch and quoted from it freely. Look at the scripture I listed above (Jude 1:14-15). The prophecy Jude is speaking of is found directly in the Book of Enoch Chapter 1 verse 9. In fact, the entire book of Jude contains many references to Enochian prophesies, and for this specific reason the book came very close to being removed from the Bible by the early church fathers. One church father in particular, Filastrius, was so angered by the contents of the Book of Enoch that he condemned it as heresy. Another Jewish Rabbi, Simeon ben Jochai, in the second century A.D. pronounced a curse upon any who believed in the book. It isn't surprising, then, that anything associated with it, might run the risk of being destroyed.

So what is it about the Book of Enoch that is so mysterious? Why was it left out of the Bible and how did it conveniently get "lost" for thousands of years? The answer lies in the story of Noah. If you haven't been following my posts, you might want to go back and read my previous blog.

The Book of Enoch expounds on the story of a group of corrupt angels who descend to earth on a mountain located in modern day Syria called Mount Hermon.

FUN FACT: Mount Hermon is currently the highest,  permanently manned UN position in the entire world. You think they're waiting for a re-descension? Just sayin'....

According to Enoch, a group of 200 fallen angels, called the Watchers, descend on Mount Hermon. Their leader, Semjaza, wanted to mate with the women but didn't want to take the fall for it, so they all make a pact to follow through with it and not abandon the plan. (Enoch 6:3-5) This is the clippet of Genesis 6 that we've talked about before. The angels mate with the women, taking wives all of which they choose, and the offspring of these encounters became giants, otherwise known as the Nephillim.

The fallen angels taught mankind corrupted versions of the secrets of heaven. They taught them astrology, drug usage and witchcraft. They also taught women the art of cosmetics in order to lure and seduce men, and they taught men the art of war in order to carry out their angelic battles.

At this point, God intervenes and curses the fallen angels, telling them that they will never again be able to come before His throne or enter into the heavenly realm. This strikes overwhelming fear in the angels and they approach Enoch to plead with God for forgiveness on their behalf.

Enoch, taking pity on the fallen angels, travels to heaven and petitions God on their behalf. God rejects the plea and not only orders that the fallen angels be bound in Tartarus for 70 generations until the time of judgement, but He also places a curse on their descendants as well. Since the Nephillim were born of "spiritual" fathers and earthly mothers, God forbids even the giants from having access to heaven. Upon their death, their spirits were condemned to roam the earth unsatisfied. God labeled them "evil spirits".

According to the Book of Enoch, the angel to whom God ascribed the entire crime, was Azazel. He ordered that Azazel be bound and buried in the desert until the time of judgement. Here, we find another area where scripture corroborates the Book of Enoch.

In Leviticus 16:8-10, the Hebrew Bible says, "And Aaron shall place lots upon the two he goats: one lot "For the Lord," and the other lot, "For Azazel." And Aaron shall bring the he goat upon which the lot, "For the Lord," came up, and designate it as a sin offering. And the he goat upon which the lot "For Azazel" came up, shall be placed while still alive, before the Lord, to [initiate] atonement upon it, and to send it away to Azazel, into the desert."

Other translations rename the Azazel goat, the "scapegoat". Moses was to sacrifice one goat to the Lord as an offering, and he was to cast all sin on the scapegoat and run it off a cliff in the desert "to Azazel".

In the end, because everything had been corrupted by the angels, God causes a great flood to wipe the slate clean. Noah was pure in his generations, and for that purpose alone, he and his family were spared.

Let me share some of my personal thoughts with you on the story of Enoch, the fallen angels and the giants. Even though this story was denounced by the Christian church and removed from the canonized scriptures, it may have actually carried on in other areas of history. Some of which, are very well known...

• Most cultures throughout history have a story of a major flood.

• Some archaeologists believe that the highly advanced and yet mythological city of Atlantis possibly existed in the pre-flood world. Could the technological advances of Atlantis been a direct link to heavenly secrets that they were given at the time? (What about the Mayans and their superb knowledge of mathematics?)

• There is also a theory circulating that after the great flood, the evil spirits of the giants re-descended to earth in Greece. The legend lived on in the stories of the 'gods' and 'demi-gods' of Greek Mythology. Even though the story was denounced in Christianity, it became a well known religion on another part of the globe. Coincidence?

• According to the Book of Enoch, the fallen angels were bound in a place called Tartarus. Recognize the name? It's the same place that the Titans were imprisoned according to Greek mythology. The Titans were considered immortal giants of incredible strength. They were considered the first race of demi-gods, and were eventually overthrown by a younger race of demi-gods known as the Olympians.

• Here's another fun fact: God cursed the fallen angels to be bound for 70 generations "until the time of judgement". If you count 70 generations from Enoch, you reach Jesus Christ. 

• Scripture tells us that Nimrod was the first person to take on the Nephillim traits post-flood. Genesis 10:8 says that Nimrod began to be a "mighty one". This is the same type of "mighty" that was mentioned in Genesis 6, when it talked about the giants being known as "mighty men of old". It also just so happens that Nimrod was trying to build a portal into the heavenly realm, which God ceased.

• In the Book of Enoch, the fallen angels taught mankind the art of drug usage and witchcraft. Could this have been the origination of the occult? Possibly their attempt to teach mankind how to conjure up their descendants which God cursed as demonic spirits?

• By conjuring up these demonic entities through witchcraft, is it possible that we, in modern times, are bringing back the very forces that were on the earth at the time when God caused the great flood? Scope out my previous blog on the occult practices happening in modern times.

"As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be with the coming of the Son of man." Matthew 24:37

2014 Grammy's Illuminati Occult Ceremony

Wow! Lots happened during the Grammy's. I didn't see it, but I did see and hear all the ruckus following it, and for that reason... I'm really glad I didn't see it.

I wanted to share some information that I've collected, which talks about the blatant evil and demonic influence over the entire show. Evil is stepping more and more into the spotlight and it is starting to infiltrate public places in order to be broadcast more globally. It's all about deception and masking symbolism into performances by claiming "artistic" expression.

Doc Marquis, the gentleman being interviewed in the video below, believes that the occult will be the dominant religion during last days. He believes that once the church is raptured off the earth, the occult will literally seize the world.

Here is his quote from the video: (let this sink in)

"If we look at the figures put out by the World Wide Counsel of Churches, if their figures are accurate, there are approximately 1 million people every year in America alone that are being added and initiated into one occult group or another. This is astounding and frightening but it's also prophetical. Let's reference Revelations 18:23, the whole world is going to be handed over to the Anti-Christ through the occult. In order for that to happen, we have to see a resurgence... greater now, than in all of history. That's why you're seeing this resurgence of the "old religions", as they're called. Let's face it, the old gods are coming back and they're becoming predominant."
