Society shifting to occultism

Concerning Mystery Babylon, the Bible's last book predicts that by her "sorcery all the nations were deceived" (Revelation 18:23). Significantly, ancient Babylon was permeated with "magicians...astrologers...[and] sorcerers" (Daniel 2:2). Before she fell, God rebuked ancient Babylon for "the multitude of [her] sorceries" and "for the great abundance of her enchantments" (Isaiah 47:9). We should expect the same kind of activities within modern Babylon.

Look around. Spiritualism, witchcraft (Wicca), and vampirism are on the rise. Surely the return of Jesus Christ draws near. Let's focus on His light, His love, His cross, and His power, while mercy lingers.

This counsel is timely: "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7).
