What the Bible Has to Say about Popular Entertainment

– Novels, Movies, TV Shows, Video Games

Numbers 33:51-52 – "[51] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan ; [52] then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places :"

Comment: God commanded the children of Israel to destroy all the graven images, and all the idols, and all the images of false gods depicted on walls. Today, in America, and around the world, movies, TV shows, and other videos display entertainment and steal time from God. Today, entertainment takes a huge amount of time out of people’s schedules. It is a god that people serve around the world.

Psalm 101:3 – "[3] I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes : I hate the work of them that turn aside ; it shall not cleave to me."

Comment: The psalmist declared that he would not look at anything beliyaal (i.e. evil, worthless, unprofitable, naughty, ungodly, or wicked). The Hebrew word, in this verse, for wicked is (Strong’s # 1100) beliyaal. It means: “… without profit, worthlessness; … wickedness … Belial, evil, naughty, ungodly …, wicked.” (From: Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance.) If what we are watching or viewing is beliyaal, we must turn it off and repent.

TRUTH ABOUT BILLY GRAHAM THAT THEY HAVE HIDDEN - Exposé

The Late Billy Graham Believed That Jesus Christ Is "Not" the Only Way

The famous "evangelist" Billy Graham passed away recently. His dangerous doctrine is still spreading through the Church and doing harm to the body of Christ. The ecumenical movement is still promoting a merger of Protestants with Roman Catholicism. And, false teachers are still promoting the idea that people around the world can be saved by their own good works, without trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. This false doctrine was taught by the late Billy Graham.

Billy Graham was interviewed by Robert Schuller on his Hour of Power TV show. The interview was broadcast on May 31, 1997. It exposed something about the famous "evangelist" that should be very disturbing.

Lord of the Rings Exposed - The Inklings and the Occult (J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams)

Lord of the Rings Exposed - The Inklings and the Occult (J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams)

Now posthumously famous around the world, J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis have had a huge impact on our modern culture. Many video games, fantasy novels, and role-playing games (including Dungeons and Dragons) have been strongly influenced by The Lord of the Rings [A]. Gary Gygax, the maker of Dungeons and Dragons, originally incorporated story elements from Lord of the Rings before changing these when the game was sold to the public [A]. Tolkien, Lewis, and other Oxford professors and writers, together, formed a small group known as the "Inklings." They would meet together to discuss literature and read aloud their fiction manuscripts. We will now look at one "Inkling" in particular.

Charles Williams

(Some of the "Inklings" including Lewis,
Tolkien, Owen Barfield, and Charles Williams)

A man you may not have heard of befriended J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and played an important a role in influencing their writing. His name was Charles Williams, an esoteric author of novels, poems, and nonfiction works. What makes him an interesting character is his fascination with the occult. At the age of about 30, Williams joined a secret society that focused on occult rituals, ‘magick,’ and gnostic teachings.

Humphrey Carpenter wrote about Williams’s initiation (in 1917) into an esoteric, secret society called the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn [B]. From Carpenter’s book, The Inklings: C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien and Their Friends, we read:

"Among its first initiates was a coroner who allegedly performed necromantic rites... while another early member was black magician Aleister Crowley, the self styled Great Beast.... But the Order of the Golden Dawn also included persons of less outlandish ways, such as W. B. Yeats, … A. E. Waite ....  It was this group that Williams joined.” [B.] [End quote]

Lord of the Rings Exposed ─ Gandalf the Wizard and Tolkien the Master of Deception (Is Lord of the Rings Occultic?)

Lord of the Rings Exposed ─ Gandalf the Wizard and Tolkien the Master of Deception (Is Lord of the Rings Occultic?)

In this article, we will look at some of the symbols and messages

in some of Tolkien's LOTR books and writings. We will see if they are occultic, or not. 

We'll look at the "Doors of Durin", the White Tree of Gondor, Gandalf's true identity as

one of the Istari, and more.

Many have researched into occult aspects of various books and movies. Some have pointed out actual witchcraft portrayed for entertainment in fictional books and movies, such as Star Wars and Harry Potter. The occult world is very active in these days in which we live. But, are J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings novels free of anything occultic? Or, do they include occult themes and symbols?

To answer those questions, we’ll start with an important character in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Gandalf is a wizard who demonstrates magical power through spells and by use of his staff. But, according to J.R.R. Tolkien, Gandalf is not a human being. Tolkien described Gandalf in this way:

“But G. [sic] is not, of course, a human being (Man or Hobbit). There are naturally no precise modern terms to say what he was. I wd. [sic] venture to say that he was an incarnate 'angel'... that is, with the other Istari, wizards, 'those who know', an emissary from the Lords of the West, sent to Middle-earth, as the great crisis of Sauron loomed on the horizon. By 'incarnate' I mean they [the Istari / wizards] were embodied in physical bodies capable of pain, and weariness, and of afflicting the spirit with physical fear, and of being 'killed', though supported by the angelic spirit they might endure long, and only show slowly the wearing of care and labour. ...” [A.] [End quote] (underline added)

Tolkien described Gandalf (and the other the Istari wizards) as having a physical body that suffers from weariness and pain, but that is controlled by an angelic spirit. Thus, Gandalf was an “incarnate angel”. Half man, half angel creatures are found in Genesis chapter 6.

Harry Potter Magic Exposed - Necromancy in Hogwarts

Harry Potter Magic Exposed - Necromancy in Hogwarts

Ghosts appear in Harry Potter’s Hogwarts school. They lurk in the old grounds of this school of witchcraft and wizardry. They also communicate with Harry and his classmates.

One ghost, called Nearly Headless Nick, told Harry Potter these words: “I know nothing of the secrets of death, Harry, for I chose my feeble imitation of life instead.” [A.]

Harry Potter is being taught to be a wizard; to talk with spirits; how to cast spells; and to use magic for “good” purposes. But, all of these things are forbidden in God’s Word, the Bible, in Deuteronomy 18.

The End Time Antichrist Deception (Video Games, Hollywood, and the Occult)

The End Time Antichrist Deception

(Photo: All-Seeing Eye. Source.)

The world is heading toward a conclusion: a single world empire ruled by one man. The preparation toward this goal has been long in the making and the deception to promote this kingdom has been powerful and clever.

It is all around us and seeks to lure people into conformity to the goals of the “elite”. The deception can be found in movies, books, TV shows, sports, business, toys, games, and many so-called “churches” (or false churches). It is promoted through advertisements and media.

Nothing has been left out of this deception. Society has been gripped by it and deceived. This deception has been going on for a long time, but in more recent years it has been accelerating toward the acceptance of a single planetary government and a single world leader (the beast or “Antichrist”).

We will look at a few of the areas where this deception is being promoted, and how it is promoted, and then show what we can do about it.

Hollywood

(Photo: National Treasure. All-Seeing Eye. Source.)

Hollywood movies have been the vehicle of deception for a long time. Since their early beginning at the end of the Victorian era, movies have spread deception in the form of the occult, sorcery, profanity, and fornication (or immoral lifestyles).

Every year, many movies are made which display occult symbolism and sorcery. Some examples include Star Wars movies, The Hobbit trilogy, The Chronicles of Narnia, Twilight movies, Harry Potter films, Percy Jackson films, National Treasure, The Matrix, etc.

The all-seeing eye (an occult symbol) is prevalent in many movies, TV shows, video games, advertisements, etc. Many books could be written about the occult symbols in movies and video games. This eye is the symbol for Horus who is the ancient Egyptian god of sun-worship and the eye of Horus is an ancient magic symbol (1) (see End Notes).

National Treasure movies (starring Nicolas Cage) feature the eye of Horus (or the all-seeing eye) on their movie posters. A Series of Unfortunate Events, starring Jim Carrey, displays numerous all-seeing eye symbols throughout it. (Note: I, the author, don’t watch movies anymore. I used to, but I have stopped watching movies [Hollywood-type movies and the like] since about three years ago.)

Occult “powers” are displayed on the big screen to crowds of captivated people: men, women, and children. Movies such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (Nicolas Cage), Percy Jackson, etc. are getting the youth to believe that the occult is something that is fun to practice and participate in. How many children have donned wizard hats, pretended to use magic wands to cast spells on each other, or used imaginary “Force” powers in their play?

As children get older, they get inundated with images of unmarried men and women kissing each other in movies; violent scenes of killing or fighting; sorcery or magic causing levitation or other phenomena; actors using profanity; subliminal messages promoting the occult and sexual perversion, etc.

These immoral scenes are entering the hearts and minds of these children (and adults), preparing children and adults to accept something that is coming our way in the near future.

Video Games

(Photo: The Conduit. Source.)

Many video games promote the New World Order and the agenda of the “Elite” (or Illuminati). One notable example is the video game Deus Ex (from 2000). In a transcript from the video game, the character Morgan Everett tells JC Denton: “We are the Invisible Hand. We are the Illuminati. […]. And eventually... eventually we will lead them into the day.” (2) (Works Cited).

The Illuminati, Nimrod, and Satan’s Agenda (Illuminati Symbols, Baal, Tower of Babel, All-Seeing-Eye, NRO Mission Patches, Subliminal)

The Illuminati, Nimrod, and Satan’s Agenda

The Illuminati is something you hear about quite often now. Hip hop artists, actors, and celebrities mention or allude to them. Before the internet, only a few fringe researchers made people aware of the Illuminati. Because of information technology, such as the internet, it has come into common knowledge.

So much is said about the Illuminati that it would take you months or years to learn it. In this article we will look at some of the symbols, icons, and associations that the Illuminati hid in broad daylight. Then, we will take a look at who really is behind the Illuminati and what his agenda is.

If you have ever read about the Illuminati, you will be familiar with the symbolism on the back of the dollar bill. The all-seeing-eye of Horus or Baal is staring at you from his platform atom the unfinished pyramid. If you want to learn more about the Illuminati connections to the dollar, check out the video titled Eye of the Phoenix - Secrets of the Dollar Bill (2009). (Note: I am not selling this video and have no connections to it.).

This all-seeing-eye can be found in the strangest of places. You can see it in the logos of financial institutions, in the logos of corporations, on TV shows, in movies, in video games, and in government offices and departments.

One could say it is all a coincidence, but is it really? Perhaps, these organizations and government offices do not understand the symbolism of the all-seeing-eye and what it stands for. Or, are people at the top fully aware of what these symbols stand for while their employees do not?

The website for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO):

 “When the United States needs eyes and ears in critical places where no human can reach – be it over the most rugged terrain or through the most hostile territory – it turns to the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The NRO is the U.S. Government agency in charge of designing, building, launching, and maintaining America’s intelligence satellites”( “About the NRO.”).

But, their official mission patches, which are used to designate each mission launched, show a more sinister side.

National Reconnaissance
 Operations Center Logo

There are quite a few mission patches that belong to various government mission projects with eerie symbols and depictions. Strangely, many of them have dragons clutching the earth, snakes wrapped around the earth, all-seeing-eyes, phoenix birds, wizards, and sinister phantoms, and demons prominently displayed. (See Deuteronomy 18:10-12 for what God has to say about sorcery and witchcraft.).

Very little is known of the actual details of these missions, but these patches show that the people behind these missions have a sinister agenda. Pan, a pagan god, appears as an acronym, PAN (Palladium at Night), on one of the launch patches. Pan was worshipped by pagans in ancient Caesarea Philippi, Israel. In order to have Pan return each year, these rebellious people practiced prostitution, and many other wicked acts (“City of Pagans”).

The black bird is a phoenix rising out of the flames. This is an Illuminati / Masonic symbol. Manly P. Hall, a former mason, wrote about the phoenix in a book about the masons.	Three snakes are wrapped around the earth.  “Nunquam Ante Numquam Iterum” is Latin  for “Never before, never again.” (“Top 10”).
Rocket Launch. Notice the all-seeing-eye?

Pan is the Greek god of fertility and nature. He has the legs of a goat and the body of a man. Pan can be linked to the Phoenician sun god Baal, who is also a god of fertility and nature (“Bible verses about Baal”). Baal can be traced back to Nimrod, who is mentioned in the Bible (“Bible verses about Baal”).

The head above the wing symbol is none other

 than...you guessed it…”E.T.” 

"Oderint Dum Metuant" means

 “Let them hate so long as they fear.” It was associated with

 Caligula, a Roman emperor known for

 his depravity and despotism ("Top 10").

 

Nimrod
Who was Nimrod? According to the Bible in Genesis 10, Nimrod is a “mighty hunter before the LORD.” (Genesis 10:9).  The Bible is not saying Nimrod served God but just that in God’s sight, he was mighty, or very powerful and strong man. Nimrod built the city of Babel, where the tower of Babel was erected (Genesis 10:10). Being the leader of the city, he would have been overseeing the construction of the tower, a symbol of man’s rebellion against God, his Creator.


Nimrod, the great hunter who founded the city of Babel (which later became Babylon), was a wicked man. According to tradition, Nimrod is said to have married his mother and she and he were turned into a deities. He was killed for his rebellion to God and for his great wickedness. When he died, his mother/wife said that their son was a reincarnation of Nimrod and required people to worship her and her baby. Interestingly, most ancient and even many modern pagan religions can be traced back to Nimrod (Veith).
