MATERIAL OR MYSTICAL? OR A MIX OF BOTH?
There are many who are Materialists and Modernists, who
dismiss anything relating to a spiritual reality. These are those who believe
we are merely biological organisms: thinking meat machines as it were.
They look at the idea of ‘Satan’ as a man of red skin,
horns, pitchfork and a tail and one who rules in a mythical hell. The same goes
for angels, demons and God – all imaginary. C.S. Lewis once stated in The Screwtape Letters, an
allegorical work where an elder demon is instructing his novice regarding his
‘assignment’ (“patient”).
“If
once we can produce our perfect work – the Materialist Magician, the man, not
using, but veritably worshipping, what he vaguely calls ‘Forces’ while denying
the existence of ‘spirits’ – then the end of the war will be in sight. But in
the meantime, we must obey our orders. I do not think you will have much
difficulty in keeping the patient in the dark. The fact that ‘devils’ are
predominantly comic figures in the modern imagination will help you. If any
faint suspicion of your existence begins to arise in his mind, suggest to him a
picture of something in red tights, and persuade him that since he cannot
believe in that (it is an old textbook method of confusing them) he therefore
cannot believe in you.”
Stalin thought as much as well, but this deeply philosophical, though certainly deranged (probably possessed) man, was greatly troubled over the truth that “nothing unreal exists” – that you can’t imagine anything that doesn’t correlate with reality. Can you come up with an eighth note on the musical scale? Or an up-to-now never seen color? A new emotion?
Take the movie Avatar – with all of those wild
looking animals and plant life; these were all things that relate to reality –
though these creatures in themselves don’t exist, all they really are, are
composites of different animals and plants (that DO exist in our world) combined
in ways that don’t exist in our world.
Stalin thought about how ‘God’ was an imaginary delusion of
commoners, but he always came back to the truth that nothing unreal exists. And
this plagued him to his dying day.
Rather than thinking of Satan (and fallen angels, demons
and holy angels) in medieval terms (as portrayed in art and in many instances,
the literature of that time) as such caricatures, what about non-corporeal
beings of pure intellect?
Scientists find it conceivable that there could be beings
in the universe so highly evolved (and I am by no means endorsing evilution –
note the correct spelling [wink]) that they no longer require a physical
body but transcended such to become absolute mentality.
In such terms as these, why couldn’t there be a malicious
being that is inimical to the human race? There is the problem of evil in our
world and the challenge of GOD’s existence – “Either GOD is all loving or He is
all powerful, but He cannot be both. For if He is all powerful then He could
stop evil, but if He doesn’t, He can’t be all loving.” – Or vice versa. We
address this issue the article, Evil: This Strange Predicament.
The subject of this article is the visible and observable
emergence of the protocols of Luciferianism. The definition of protocol as used
in the title of this article is, “the official procedure or system of rules
governing affairs of state”.
The BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE
There are those that revere Satan/Lucifer but in an
ideological and philosophical sense – they don’t (so they claim) believe in an
actual person, but a principle, as The Church of Satan claims, founded
by the deceased Anton Szandor LaVey (though there are those that believe this
was a cover, and the secret beliefs of this man and his followers very much
indeed believed in the actual personage of Satan).
However, the Bible reveals the devil as an actual person
and states that Satan rebelled against GOD (ISAIAH 14 and EZEK 28) and persuaded a third of the entire angelic hosts
(REV 12:4) to
follow him in this uprising, and they were then summarily cast out of heaven.
Yet this adversary wasn’t done, not by a long shot – he
invaded the garden of Eden and confronted the mother of our race, Eve, and
persuaded her, and through her, the father of our race, Adam, to disobey GOD
and take of that forbidden fruit of “the tree of knowledge of good and evil”;
thus they could become “like God” by such an inappropriate and unlawful method
that is satanic in nature.
Because of this, stewardship of the world that GOD granted
to Adam, was transferred over to Satan, who is now the governor (“god”; 2 COR 4:4) of this
world and is ‘calling the shots’ – so if you don’t like the way things are
going here on this planet, make sure you curse the right god!
As the ruler of this world system, what is his official
procedure or system of rules governing his affairs of state (that spans this
entire globe)?
The primary system of rule is the absolute and total
conduct that is precisely antithetical to GOD and everything that He
represents; and in its place, his own ideology which resembles GOD’s own
government, but is perverted by the evilness of sin that found its way into
this fallen angel’s heart when he essentially declared, “Not YOUR will
O LORD, but MY will be done!”
Satan doesn’t require his followers to drape themselves in
scarlet and black robes, to chant adulation to him in Latin, to burn candles,
incense, commit Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) upon victims, particularly the
defenseless (including children) and make offerings in blood in the dead of
night.
What is required to follow this fallen cherub? Aleister
Crowley, devoted occultist summed it up well:
“Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of thy law”, the law of Thelema.
In other words, live life the way YOU want,
regardless of what some ‘angry old man in the sky demands of you from some
oldy, moldy book written by primitive men thousands of years ago’. You can be a
Humanist, a Buddhist, a Magickian, an Atheist/Agnostic, a Moralist, a religious
person, a Hedonist, a Wiccan, a Muslim, a New Spiritualist – whatever you want:
just don’t believe in the LORD Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible! That is
Satan’s requirement!
He doesn’t even mind being worshiped under a pseudonym like
Apollo, Ba’al, Osiris, Allah or Kali.
Yet I believe his end goal is to bring about global recognition and adoration of his true name and personage and the Bible states this is exactly what will happen, when he raises up his representative, referred to as the Beast of Revelation (REV 13:3-8).
BROADCASTING REAL DARK NEWS
Everything in this world is being prepared to accept this coming one, and his father and
so we are seeing a resurgence of Satanism among the common populace, and even the
higher esoteric system of Luciferianism (sometimes referred to as the
Illuminati) among the world’s elite (Note: We do not endorse the views and beliefs of this website Waking Times however,
the content of this article and the accompanying video portrays a hidden reality
that must be understood to exist in our world).
These things are as real as the one that these Satanists
and Luciferians worship. What you are going to read and watch here is in fact,
‘Real Dark News’!
THROUGH THE BLACK has
done two films I would strongly recommend:
DETESTABLE (58
mins. 16 sec.). Buy or rent it here.
Also THIS IS A WAR –
this is a trailer of the film (2
min. 12 sec). You can buy or rent this here as well.
See a more recent video between Thomas Dunn and ‘Angie’ on these issues (1 hr. 18 mins.)
There is documented and corroborated evidence and testimony of a Satanist coven in England:
“In 2014, a leaked video depicted two young children,
explaining in detail the horrific abuse that they had been exposed to at
Hampstead Christ Church Primary School in London England. Scenes of satanic
rituals, sexual abuse, infant murder and cannibalism were described in vivid
detail by these children, causing the video to become viral.
Unfortunately, though, this is not the only secret...”
You can read about this and watch the videos at the website
London Has A Secret.
Documents on this can be read here and

Here is a THROUGH The BLACK panel discussion of Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) with Thomas Dunn, Jared Chrestman and Greg Reid who
shares his personal testimony of his own abuse by an occultic coven that he was
being trained in as “a magick mirror” (59

REAL ROOTS OF
DEVIL WORSHIPERS
There are documentaries that portray the reality of
secret/semi-secret and or esoteric societies and organizations, like Cecil Rhodes and Round Table Societies;
even in America alone, there are over 600
of these but
not all of them are mystical or religious in their orientation; however there
are certainly enough of these to warrant investigation and once done, one comes
to the conclusion that there is a common thread among them.
Whether you’re talking about the Council on Foreign
Relations, the United Nations (to comprehend the spiritual inspiration of
this organization, one must acknowledge the influence that the Theosophical
Society has had in it), Club of Rome, Bohemian Club or Skull and
Bones or other more ancient organizations and orders like Druidism, Wicca, the
Rosicrucian Society, Knights Templar, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the
Masonic Order – they all pay homage to a central figure that translates to
a Supreme Being of Light and knowledge (Gnosticism - the
discipline that believes salvation is not by atonement, especially not
atonement by blood and particularly by the blood of Christ, but by obtaining of
esoteric knowledge and wisdom; refer to GEN 2:17; 3:6). This is the personage of the
one we refer to as Satan, or the devil (in ‘disguise’ as it were).
Here is one chronology that
encompasses the historical path of secret societies as they relate to our known
history (NOTE: We don’t necessarily agree with the assertions made on this
site, particularly and especially where Jesus of Nazareth is concerned).
Scripture is replete with various religions and false gods that
mirror the ideologies of these secret societies and the protocol of the god of
this world:
Salvation was not through the God of the Bible and the
atonement He prescribes, but often by the bloodshed of infants or other human
beings. Scripture states that sacrifices to false gods were really offerings to
demonic spirits (PSALM
106:37) and coupled together with delusional self-righteousness by
ritual, rite and religious thought, bloodshed and esoteric ideologies mirror today’s
Satanism and Luciferianism today.
What is highly significant is the fact that all of this
stemmed from gnosis or “knowledge” of good and evil, from that forbidden
fruit as described in GENESIS
3. It would seem that knowledge was codified at the Tower of Babel
where a one world government and one world religion flourished under the
guidance of “the sons of God” (fallen angels) – and the world is reverting back
to its spiritual roots, to Babylon,
politically, spiritually and ideologically.
Even in the Old Testament history of Israel, we find
those who were supposed to be sanctified as Levitical priests or godly elders
of the nation, devoted to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that instead
were looking “to the East” and worshiping false gods in secret, within the
Temple of GOD (EZEK
8:5-18)!
We see that the mystical, esoteric societies run through the Old Testament, among the nations like Egypt (GEN 41:8,24; EXOD 7:11,22) and Babylon (DAN 1:20; 2:2,27; 4:7) and that these mystery schools migrate to the nations that come to power (Medo-Persian Empire, Greek, Roman Empire – later Europe, Russia, the USA, etc.).
Modern examples of Satanism and its formation in the last few centuries arose
in significant degree from those who protested Roman Catholicism (thus the black
mass), but certainly not exclusively from such motivations.
Famous Satanists over the ages include Gilles de Rais, a 15th century French nobleman, was tried and executed for the murders of hundreds of children in quasi-Satanic rituals.
The late 17th century campaign against alleged satanism
known as the Poison Affair under Louis XIV, involved accusations of
widespread poisonings, infanticide and forgery committed by an alleged satanic
social network.
Modern Satanist groups fall into two major trends: Theistic
Satanism, which venerates Satan as a supernatural deity, and Atheistic
Satanism, which regards Satan as symbolic of purely certain human traits.
The Church of Satan, established in San Francisco in 1966,
preaches the Nine Satanic Statements, which include "Satan
represents indulgence instead of abstinence", "Satan represents
vengeance instead of turning the other cheek" and "Satan represents
all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional
gratification".
There is now a growing movement of theistic Satanists, who
believe in and revere Satan as a deity. The Temple of Set is an example;
founded by Michael Aquino, which identifies the Christian Satan with the
ancient Egyptian god Set. Opposite this are the philosophic kinds: one is the
Church of Satan, founded by Anton LaVey (though, again, there is some
suspicion that this is just a cover for a more theistic view within ‘an inner
circle’ of that group.
Among the theistic branches of Satanism, there are different kinds:
(1) The self-styled (populated mostly by teenagers and young adults, especially in and around University campuses).
(2) The religious (such as a number of Satanic churches and temples that are springing up across the nation; but many of these perceive Satan as a philosophic concept rather than theistic) and
(3) The generational (generations of families are raised in a deeply committed and devoted to the person of Satan on a global scale) – and of these, the generational are the most powerful and deadly – this is where Satanism itself migrates into Luciferianism or is more commonly known, as the Illuminati, who look upon the other types as ‘useful-idiot foot soldiers’.

Here is the testimony of an ex-Satanist.
DOCUMENTS OF A DEVIL HUNTER
In the mid-1980’s into the early ‘90’s we saw a rise in
Satanism, particularly among the youth of America (and Europe) but towards the
end of this wave of occult involvement that involved rituals and sacrifices,
there was a disinformation campaign that dismissed the entire affair as mere Satanic
Panic – in the face of credible and substantial evidence that this did in
fact exist.
Aside from his own personal testimony of his own occult
involvement, Greg Reid became a private investigator and law enforcement
consultant on occult crimes and he has in his possession an entire cabinet full
of documented evidence that this was a reality and not conjured up (pun
intended) by those of fanciful imaginations who were merely looking for a bit
of notoriety.
Greg Reid addressed the skeptics and nay-sayers that
scoffed at the idea of Satanism, modern-day covens and Satanic Ritual Abuse in
his article, Answering the Skeptics.
We turn this over to Greg Reid and Thomas Dunn in a recent video entitled:
WAR of AGES (after the landmark book written by Greg of the same name)
What they have to share on this pertinent phenomenon that today is experiencing
a kind of ‘revival’ in the 21st century is something every blood-bought, born again saint of GOD must consider and engage in for the glory of GOD and His Kingdom; this is indeed spiritual warfare!

WHAT ARE OUR OWN PROTOCOLS IN ANSWER TO THIS
EMERGENCE OF EVIL?
Firstly, it is advised that everyone get this landmark and quintessential book on spiritual warfare:
WAR OF THE AGES
UPDATE (11/18/19): From Greg Reids Youthfire! Newsletter - NOV. '19
Since 1987, I have been involved in investigating satanic ritual abuse, getting kids out of the occult, training criminal justice classes on occult crimes and crimes against children, and training believers to fight spiritual warfare.
In the late 1980s as some of you know there was a huge push to prove that NONE of it was real. Through the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, a large "Christian" magazine and an "expert" from the FBI, it was a concerted and effective effort to delegitimize anyone trying to stop ritual abuse and satanic crimes.
The Jeffrey Epstein case had the potential to expose so much. But it was clear to me that they would never allow Epstein to testify. He knew too much and too many powerful criminal predators. I feared he would be suicided. He was. And I knew it would not even be in the news three months later unless something happened.
Recently, the FBI under the FOIA act released a long and thorough report that shows unequivocally that not only did they know that organized occult activity was real, but it was being covered up by other government agencies.
So when we were told there was no evidence of organized satanic crime, it was a LIE.
This is a small vindication. But this “satanic panic” narrative is STILL being promoted by groups like The Satanic Temple, occult groups and even some Christian entities. And so the need is great to speak the truth and to get Christians prepared for this spiritual war and be determined to pray for and even to rescue the innocent little lives that are being destroyed by these criminal groups.
“He has shown thee, o man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of thee, but to do JUSTLY (justice) and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God.” (Micah 6:8) As Amy Carmichael said, “Surely the Gospel includes this.”
Although the idea of retirement has never occurred to me, there are times I think, “I did my time. The message was rejected before.” But I can’t quit. This is in my blood. This is my call. The burning desire remains to reach a lost generation that is being devoured by the enemy through drugs, suicide, ruined through pornography, and a sense of hopelessness.
Are you aware that a number of “trans” people are devil worshippers and members of satanic organizations, some who are doing storytime sessions for children in libraries?
Did you know there is a satanic group called “The satanic children’s ministry of Knoxville” that is setting up after school children's programs to teach children about satan?
All this should drive us to prayer. We’re coming to a place where the church must decide to stand as warriors with our armor fully in place and engaged in the fight for the lost, the orphaned, the hopeless and the helpless.
Folks, every day I wake up with the joy of the Lord as my strength and gratefulness for every breath. Then I take on the mantle of facing what is going on and deciding how best to engage this war for those who have no hope without Jesus.
Recently I’ve seen things that just astonish me – young church leaders teaching horrible error and wearing $8,000 sneakers while they do it. And then I see the REAL world. And the disparity is profound. For example, right now, Mexico and South America are boiling over with indescribable evil. New evidence shows that the Cartels are now employing blatant ritual sacrifice in an explosive mix of witchcraft, black magick, and hardcore real-world devil worship, including goat heads and pentagrams. THIS is the face of all we tried to expose in the 1980s. In the meantime, these “new Satanists” are trying to put their silly little satan statues at state capitals. It’s a mockery. But they are simply useful pawns in a bigger war.
It took days for me to work through the reports I read and saw this last week of the torture and ritual slaying of a ten-year-old boy, and the ritual sacrifice of an INFANT found in the center of a pentagram. No, it’s not “back.” It never went away. They are now arrogantly bold, knowing there is little to stop it.
These aren’t just news reports to me. Every child is someone’s baby. Every youth is a treasure to God. God weeps, and we should too. But what can I do? What can YOU do? You may be inclined to discard this letter and be done with it after reading this newsletter. “Who needs to read this? Where’s the VICTORY?” Oh, friend. I know Jesus won the war. And that the overwhelming victory is ours in Jesus. But He didn’t save us to SIT. He didn’t save us to savor the victory and invite a few friends to get “churched.” He gave us victory so we can go forward in this kingdom battle and PRESS THE MATTER on the enemy and capture those souls for Jesus that satan has enslaved!
I saw a movie that had a line of dialogue that burned into my spirit. One king, realizing there was a war “out there,” said, “I would not risk open war.” To which the other king replied, “Open war is upon you, whether you would risk it or not.” That is a message for the church in this hour.
If we would be the church triumphant, we must become the church praying, the church willing to give, willing to do battle against the enemy for the lost and the helpless, a church willing to say, “Here am I, Lord, send me.” A church that is willing to extend its prayers and its resources to those specifically equipped to do daring, dangerous, and vital ministries.
No believer should feel guilty because they “can’t go.” Those who “stayed with the stuff” received the same reward as those who went to war. (1 Samuel 30:7-10, 17-25.) I have never expected anyone to do what we do, though I am always grateful when God calls some alongside to do the work. But every piece is important. Every person and every prayer forwards the battle lines.
I am committed to training believers to fight and pray, to raise up young disciples to reach this generation, to doing all I can to find and reach those who are lost and dying in a world of abuse, exploitation, and despair. I will do this for as long as I can, in every way I can.
I thank you for hearing me out, hearing my heart. And I thank you for every prayer you pray on my behalf and every single gift you send to keep this work moving forward. May God pour out His greatest grace and love on you for your kindness.

Thank you for being brave enough to hear things most of us would rather not hear, for your ongoing prayers and support. For the sake of the lost and the innocent.
May your thanksgiving be especially blessed.
In His Grace,

There are two extremes to be avoided in dealing with
spiritual warfare: one is to ignore the enemy altogether, thinking that Satan
is nothing more than a metaphor, or ‘the collective negative energy of humanity
as a force for evil’. Such thinking ridicules the idea of demons, imagining
tiny persons with red skin, horns, tails and pitchforks.
The other extreme is to so obsess about the devil that
everything bad that happens gets blamed on him, and that the whole of one’s
life in Christ is all about fighting evil – at the expense of being disciples
of the Word and keeping our focus on Christ.
The balance between the two is living our life in Christ,
being led of the Spirit, to confront the enemy where GOD leads us and snatching
back lost and damned souls from his domain, walking in purity by denying the
flesh and yielding to the LORD.
Our warfare is all about upright and outreach (even
in-reach!): Satan wants us to walk in compromise with our sin nature, to deny
denying our flesh, leaving us uncrucified and carnal, not walking in holiness. This
will render the Christian absolutely ineffective in combating evil.
When a believer walks in holiness, they become a bastion of GOD’s government of truth and light in this dark world of deception; an embassy for the Almighty “in the midst of this crooked and perverse nation” (PHIL 2:15). This all on its own is spiritual warfare, living in holiness and thus, opposing Satan’s degenerate philosophy of self-indulgence and sin. This is walking in uprightness.
The other aspect was touched on a moment ago – snatching lost
and damned souls out of Satan’s domain; this involves evangelism and preaching
the Gospel, whether your audience is one thousand or just one. The Gospel is
all about depopulating the kingdom of darkness, and this is something entirely
objectionable to Satan. This is why prayer is essential in evangelism, as well
as gaining deeper depths and longer strides towards holiness.
Noting the primary weapon in our warfare being the Sword of
the Spirit, that is, the Word of GOD – this valiant device is something used in
close quarters, as any sword is. Yet we also have available some long-range
artillery: prayer! Prayer is a catapult that launches GOD’s will through our
hearts and lives and effects the kingdom of darkness with catastrophic effect!
In the coming days ahead, we are going to see many pawns of
the devil growing more and more bold in their assaults against the body of
Christ – and we can’t be surprised if many of them are church-goers!
Religious people that don’t have the Spirit of Christ (2 TIM 3:5).
There
is an upswell of iniquity that I believe is going to broadside the church very
soon, from various factions of Satan’s domain (which is the world system at
large; 2 COR. 4:4).
We cannot afford to lose our focus on Christ during this
time, nor can we allow ourselves to slip off of our sure foundation, the Rock
of our salvation. Let us make whatever preparations as are necessary to weather
these storms looming on the horizon.
A life of prayer, and worship, a zeal and hunger for GOD’s
Word, a love for the LORD above all things, and love for His saints as well as
an indomitable compassion for the lost, even our own persecutors – these things
are necessary for the church.
I also believe that because mysticism in all of its forms is
escalating throughout our society, that people are falling under the influences
of demonic spirits, to the point of becoming demonized, and we saints may be
called upon to rescue these victims by exorcism (In the TTUF Spiritual Warfare
series, there is a link to Greg Reid’s article, but because this is so
important a subject, I’m including a link to it here: DEALING
WITH THE DEMONIC: RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.
I greatly admonish all of you to go through the many videos
and articles included in this article, take it all to the LORD in prayer, and
ask Him for counsel on how best to prepare for these “perilous times” we find
ourselves in (2 TIM 3:1).
Remember, that we may lose battles here and there, but the
ultimate and final victory in this epochal war has already been won, on a
lonely cross, outside of Jerusalem, two thousand years ago, by the Captain of
our Salvation (HEB 2:10)!! Amen.
