Lord of the Rings Is Occultic and Anti-Christ



Lord of the Rings Is Occultic and Anti-Christ



The Lord of the Rings was the sequel to J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1937 novel, The Hobbit. This book series took shape in Tolkien’s mind in the late 1930s. One day as Tolkien was grading papers, he found a blank sheet of paper and a sentence came to his mind: “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit” (See "Who was Tolkien?" in Works Cited). He wrote it down and began to ponder what a hobbit was and what kind of hole it lived in. From that day forward, J.R.R. Tolkien began a story that would become very popular all around the world.

The Lord of the Rings Exposed - The Magic Mirror and the "Palantir" Exposed (SHORT VERSION)



The Lord of the Rings Exposed - The Magic Mirror and the "Palantir" Exposed (SHORT VERSION)


(This is a shorter version of an article I recently wrote. If you want more details, read the longer version here.)

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I am writing this article about The Lord of the Rings to encourage you to seek God about this topic -- to seek God about what He wants you to know regarding The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books. Are they full of magic that real witches and wizards use, or are they just fantasy stories that are harmless? Is Gandalf, the wizard character, redeemable, or not?

We will focus on two items in this article that you may not be aware of.

The Magic Mirror or Pool of Galadriel


In The Fellowship of the Ring, Galadriel, an elf lady, takes some people to view a magic pool. There, Samwise Gamgee (a hobbit) gazes into the magic pool and magically sees events happening far away (allegedly). Tolkien writes:

“Down a long flight of steps …. At the bottom, ... stood a basin of silver, wide and shallow, and beside it stood a silver ewer.

With water from the stream Galadriel filled the basin to the brim, ... she spoke. `Here is the Mirror of Galadriel,' she said. 'I have brought you here so that you may look in it, if you will.'

.... 'What shall we look for, and what shall we see?' asked Frodo, filled with awe.

`Many things I can command the Mirror to reveal,' she answered, `and to some I can show what they desire to see. But the Mirror will also show things unbidden, … and more profitable than things which we wish to behold. …. For it shows things that were, and things that are, things that yet may be. …. Do you wish to look?'" [A.] [End quote]

The magic pool or mirror of Galadriel is no different that a mirror for divination, or a scrying mirror (or pool). Scrying mirrors are sold online and in witchcraft shops. The practice of gazing into a magic mirror or pool is used for divination, or gaining hidden knowledge. God forbids divination in Deuteronomy 18 and throughout the Bible. God said through Moses: “There shall not be found among you any one that ... or that useth divination,....” (Deuteronomy 18:10).

But, divination is not only practiced and promoted in The Fellowship of the Ring. A crystal ball is used in The Two Towers.

The Crystal Ball (“Palantír” globe)


In The Two Towers, Gandalf obtained a crystal ball (called a “Palantir”) from a wizard’s tower (Isengard), after Gandalf had defeated Saruman, an “evil” wizard. One night, Pippin stole the crystal ball to look into it. The hobbit gazes into its black depths until he sees images appearing. He hears a voice speaking to him, in his mind. It is Sauron, an “evil” wizard, who runs the evil country of Mordor.

We will focus on two items in this article that we will spend a little time looking at. Before we go there, I’d like to show you, briefly, how many times certain important words appear in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

“Magic” appears 18 Times in The Fellowship of the Ring.


The words “Magic”, “Magician,” and “Magical” appear 18 times in The Fellowship of the Ring. “Sorcerer” and “sorcery” each appear once. “Wizard” appears 58 times in the actual text of the story. The word “power” is often found in the context of magical power throughout the book. (I used a word search box on a pdf file to count these words for me.)

“Down a long flight of steps …. At the bottom, upon a low pedestal carved like a branching tree, stood a basin of silver, wide and shallow, and beside it stood a silver ewer.

With water from the stream Galadriel filled the basin to the brim, and breathed on it, and when the water was still again she spoke. `Here is the Mirror of Galadriel,' she said. 'I have brought you here so that you may look in it, if you will.'

The Lord of the Rings and the Occult (The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien.)


  
The Lord of the Rings and the Occult

The Lord of the Rings was the sequel to J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1937 novel, The Hobbit. This book series took shape in Tolkien’s mind in the late 1930s. One day as Tolkien was grading papers, he found a blank sheet a paper and a sentence came to his mind: “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit” (1; see Works Cited, below). He wrote it down and began to ponder what a hobbit was and what kind of hole it lived in. From that day forward, J.R.R. Tolkien began a story that would become very popular all around the world.

His story, The Lord of the Rings, picked up popularity in the late ‘60s and became known as ‘the Bible of the “Alternative Society”.’ (1). The drug / counter-cultural revolution loved “Lord of the Rings”. Tolkien has a cult following that continues to this day.

The question now is: ‘Why is The Lord of the Rings series so popular?’ Why would the writings of a British Oxford professor of English Language and Literature be so popular around the world today? Why would The Lord of the Rings reach such popularity that it would be turned into a block-buster movie trilogy, which would gain over $1.03 billion for all three films (4)? And, why would The Hobbit movie, alone, exceed $1 billion in box office sales world-wide (4)?

There is something you need to understand. Growing up, I (the author of this article) was interested in The Lord of the Rings. I read the whole series (including The Hobbit) at least three times or more. I enjoyed the adventure and action and the plot. J.R.R. Tolkien was a master at story-telling. He knew how to write fiction. I am writing this article because I want people to be informed about The Lord of the Rings and how it is filled with real witchcraft and real sorcery.
