Bible Believers’BulletinBIBLE BELIEVERS’ BULLETINVol. 43 No. 10October 2019 Page 1“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:17)October 2019Now Nothing Will beRestrained From ThemBy Brian DonovanWithin the realm of “sciencefalsely so-called”, there has been agreat effort to find what physicists referto as, the “Singularity”. It is a place intheir fantasies where time, space andmatter were once merged into an “infinite heat and density”, until from withinitself, without God, everything wascreated. The student is not supposedto ask questions such as: “Where didthe space and matter come from if itwas nothing?”, or “What caused thisto happen at a certain time if therewas no time?”. Stephen Hawking wasthe main high priest of the singularityreligion, which he tried to mask asscience. His worship at the altar of hisgod of singularity was so strong, thata number of years before his death,he realized that he was running outof time to find it, so he took one giant leap of pure faith, and said that itwas possible to get something fromnothing. The “gravitational singular-In This BulletinNow Nothing Will be RestrainedFrom Them.1Satanism.2A Tale of Two Letters.16The Great Power Struggle.24ity” goes back about fourteen billionyears, and according to Friar Hawking,thanks to the law of gravity, nothingbecame everything. He preachedthis one point sermon in spite of thelack of physics, math, or a single factto back his faith. The physics, themathematics, and the demonstrable,factual laws of the natural world allshow that the universe cannot createitself. To say otherwise is proof thatyou are a religious fanatic who is notinterested in the facts. Hawking’s faithexpanded to include the fantasy thathuman beings are presently living inonly one of many universes, and heencouraged the idea of reaching outto those other universes, in an effortto find a more advanced civilization,which of course, would be kind andloving toward us. Only the Bible believer knows what that “other world”consists of, and it is not interested inhelping us (Ephesians 6:12). Towardthe end of his life, Stephen Hawking’swritings became almost impossible todistinguish from Stephen King’s, sincethey were on the same fictional level.Hawking changed his mind and in hislast cosmological paper, said thatContinued on 11

Page 2 October 2019BIBLE BELIEVERS’ BULLETINSatanismBy Dr. Peter S. Ruckman“And then shall that Wicked berevealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth,and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him,whose coming is after the workingof Satan with all power and signsand lying wonders” (2 Thess. 2:7–9).The Bible makes it very clear thatin the last days before the Lord Jesusshows up, the Devil is going to showup. I preach a lot on the second coming of Christ, but I don’t say muchabout the second coming of the Devil.The pattern in the Bible is the counterfeit shows up before the real thing(Cain before Abel, Ishmael beforeIsaac, Esau before Jacob, Saul beforeDavid, etc.). So we are going to lookat satanism throughout the Bible andsome attitudes toward it.First, it is taken for granted everywhere in the Bible that such things assatanism, devil worship, and spiritismexist. Things like demonism, tarotcards, divination, ouija boards, andwitchcraft are nothing new to a Biblebeliever. It is only the commercialfancy of those promoting the racketthat makes them present it as something “new.” For instance, Moses wroteabout these things centuries—literally—before the modern emphasison them.“They sacrificed unto DEVILS,not to God; to gods whom theyknew not, to new gods that camenewly up, whom your fathers fearednot” (Deut. 32:17).“There shall not be found amongyou any one that maketh his son orhis daughter to pass through thefire, or that useth divination, or anobserver of times, or an enchanter,or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or awizard, or a necromancer” (Deut.18:10–11).These things are archaic and reactionary. The Bible says, “there is nonew thing under the sun” (Eccl. 1:9),and all this occult stuff is as old as theDevil. They are not some new noveltyto play and toy around with; in God’ssight, they are “abominations” (Deut.18:12). In either Testament, you willget the same refrain.“But I say, that the things whichthe Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrificeto DEVILS, and not to God: and Iwould not that ye should have fellowship with devils” (1 Cor. 10:20).In both Testaments from Genesisto Revelation, the Bible takes it as a“given” that there are malevolent supernatural powers and unclean spirits.It’s no news at all to a Bible believerwhen some pornographic magazinelike Esquire has some write-up abouta nude woman on an altar in a satanictemple with a frog crushed on her andan upside-down cross carved into her.It’s “old stuff” to anyone who reads theBook and believes what he reads. Theonly people impressed with the occultare those who have rejected the Bible.Before I got saved, I was in thatmess up to my neck. I didn’t stop withfortune telling or Madame Blavatsky.That’s amateur stuff. I went over to theOrient where the whole thing startedand got into Zen. You can take the“trip” without the drugs when you’reinto that. I can say from experiencethat when I got saved from all of that,that the only people who fool with it arethose who turn down the Bible as thefinal authority for their lives.Continued on 3

BIBLE BELIEVERS’ BULLETINOctober 2019 Page 3SatanismContinued from 2Now starting out with the history ofsatanism: every man-made religionfrom Genesis 11 to the present hasevolved from the teaching of a maledeity and a female deity. When youget the male together with the female,sooner or later “two and two is four.”In the Old Testament, it was Baal, themale god, “hooking up” with Ashtaroth,the female goddess; and their offspring were Baalim, all the little “Baals”born from the two fornicating (Judg.2:11–13). Those are called “fertilityrites” in the ancient pagan religions.The definitive work on that is The TwoBabylons by a Presbyterian ministernamed Alexander Hislop, and it wasfirst published in 1853. The book hasall the information on which any satanist or occultist in 2008 can get hishands. No satanist should considerhimself an educated man if he hasnot read Hislop. Hislop shows youthat the whole godless system startedwith Nimrod and Semiramis back inGenesis 11, and he lays out all the evidence and documentation for it. Nimrod was a type of the Antichrist aboutwhom you read in 2 Thessalonians 2.Satanism! Satanism all the way backin Genesis 10–11!It goes further back than that. Nimrod was trying to go back to Genesis6, where “gods” (Psa. 82) came downand had relations with women and produced a race of “supermen” just likeyou read in Bullfinch’s Mythology. Andif you want to get really technical, thewhole thing goes back to Genesis 3where the serpent (Satan—Rev. 12:9)tempts Eve to eat of the forbidden fruitso the man and his wife will “be asgods” (Gen. 3:5). Something goeson there about which the scripturesare not explicit. The serpent beguilesEve (2 Cor. 11:3), and the result is a“seed” (Gen. 3:15) who is said to be“of that wicked one” (1 John 3:12).So in Leviticus 18:23, relations withbeasts (like a serpent, for instance) areforbidden, and in the flood of Genesis7, God kills the animals right alongwith the men because “ALL FLESHhad corrupted his way upon theearth” (Gen. 6:12).You see, there’s a lot more in thatBook than John 3:16 and “God islove” and how to live right. That Bookhas something to say about everythingwith which “modern man” is involved.And when it comes to satanism andthe occult, there is nothing in theEncyclopedia of Demonology andWitchcraft that wasn’t covered in aBook with the first authors going all theway back to 1800–1500 B.C., writingabout things that occurred all the wayback to 4004 B.C.If you are an evolutionist, then themale-female religion is your religion,because that religion evolved. Thatis the theme of every dissertationon “religious development.” Primitiveman starts out as an animist and thenbecomes an astrologist (worship ofthe sun, moon, and stars), then moveson to polytheism, then monotheism,then deism, then atheism, then “cosmic humanism” until you end up withmen not only messing with animals,but machines and aliens from outerspace—right back at Genesis 6.Now that is not the case with biblical Christianity. Biblical Christianityis revealed. The revelation may beprogressive (that is, God doesn’t dumpeverything on you in Genesis 1, butreveals more and more of His plan asContinued on 4

Page 4 October 2019BIBLE BELIEVERS’ BULLETINSatanismContinued from 3time goes by), but it doesn’t “evolve.”The male-female religion is founduniversally in one stage or anotherthroughout every civilization of man onearth. That is not the case with biblicalChristianity; it requires someone to goand preach the special revelation ofGod to a people before they can knowabout it or accept it (Rom. 10:14–15).God certainly did reveal His existenceand power in nature (Rom. 1:20), andHe certainly did reveal the moral condition of man in his conscience (Rom.2:14–15), but if you want to know howto appease the wrath of a holy, righteous God against your sin, you willhave to go to God’s special revelationin the Book (1 Pet. 1:23–25).The fertility rites are always ofan immoral nature (fornication). Inmodern psychology, those wickedpractices are said to show that people“reverence life” and “communicatelove”; they “banish false modesty”and “overcome the fear of society.”All positive; nothing negative—just asthe Devil presented the temptation toEve in the garden (Gen. 3:6). Satanappears as “an angel of light” (2 Cor.11:14). He doesn’t show up as something evil; he shows up as somethinggood and desirable.I’ll tell you something else: heappears different ways to differentpeople. He’ll tell a liberal, “I don’teven exist.” He’ll tell a young person,“I exist, but I’m good.” He’ll say to apsychiatrist, “The occult has evolvedthrough the history of mankind, andChristianity is against it because it istherapeutic.”There is a modern revival of satanism and demonism. There are prominent Hollywood actors and actresses,politicians, bankers, and businessmenwho live “by the stars.” They won’tmake a move without consulting theirastrologer. Astrology was employedin World War II by both sides (Axisand Allies). Every major newspaperhas an astrological horoscope forreaders. The self-proclaimed psychicJeane Dixon was the woman whopopularized the horoscope in newspapers. Nixon followed her advice,and Nancy Reagan consulted withher. She was the Roman Catholicwoman who claimed a serpent crawledin her bed one night, coiled aroundher, and looked into her eyes with“all the wisdom and understandingof the ages” (Ezek. 28:2–4, 11–19).The movie “Rosemary’s Baby” andthe Satanic Bible sparked an interestin the occult among high school andcollege students in the seventies. Bythe end of the decade, there were40,000 self-proclaimed witches in theUnited States alone. Some of themgot their training in witchcraft from the100 universities that offer courses onthe subject. In 1997, a British womannamed J. K. Rowling started publishing a series of books on “Harry Potter” that sparked an interest amonggrade-school kids in witchcraft andsorcery, with pagan groups having toappoint special counselors to deal withall the inquiries from children on howto become a “wizard” (see Isa. 8:19)like Harry Potter. One pastor who gotsaved out of the occult describes thebooks as training manuals in necromancy, spiritism, vampirism, humansacrifice, and “channeling” (demonpossession). In the book of Revelation,one of the things that marks the lastdays is “sorceries” (Rev. 9:21, 18:23).Continued on 5

BIBLE BELIEVERS’ BULLETINOctober 2019 Page 5SatanismContinued from 4Human sacrifice is not somethingrelegated to the Dark Ages or to theAztecs or to Africa or to the Amazon.In 1957, in Vineland, New Jersey,Juan Aponte, a practitioner of Santeria(a mixture of witchcraft and Catholicism) killed a thirteen-year-old boy toget his skull to cast a “love spell”on the fifteen-year-old daughter ofthe farmer for whom he worked. In1995, in California, three teenageboys took a fifteen-year-old girl outinto the woods, tied her up, and tookturns stabbing her to death in order tosacrifice a virgin to the Devil. Thesethings are taking place in the UnitedStates in the twentieth and twentyfirst centuries. This is “modern man”who has supposedly been “educated”out of his “superstition.” He is no better than those pagans to whom Paulpreached on Mar’s Hill in Athens (seeActs 17:22), and in some cases, theyare far worse.As far back as March 21, 1969,Time magazine reported that LosAngeles hired its own official countywitch. You ban the Bible in publicschools, you ban prayer, and you banthe Ten Commandments becauseof “separation of church and state”(although none of those things are a“church”); and then you give a practicing witch—a cleric of a religion (“Wicca”)—official sanction by the government. This witch (a Louise Huebner)held a “Spellcast” at the HollywoodBowl where 11,000 people showed upto take part in a Sex Spell. Everyonewas supplied with red candles, garlic,and chalk, and instructed to repeatthree times: “Light the flame, Bright thefire, Red is the color of desire.” Thereyou are right back with Nimrod andSemiramis with sex as the goal of theworship service.Modern America is obsessed withhorror and obscenity through twothings. The first is television. Television has performed a great task inacquainting the American people withobscenity, the occult, the vulgar, thefilthy, and the vile. The second thing isthe Supreme Court rulings which haveallowed pornography to run rampant.It is not overstating the matter one bitto say that the “Nine Old Men” havebasically ruled that there is no suchthing as pornographic literature.The “burden of proof” lies in provingthe trash arouses bestial passions.How are you going to prove that withpeople who have been jaded by it andtheir consciences defiled and searedto the point where they can’t evenblush at the stuff? The fellow who produces it says, “It doesn’t bother me.”The people who sell it say, “It doesn’tbother us.” The ones who buy it say,“It doesn’t affect us any.” As a consequence, there is no way of proving thejunk is pornographic, and by the timea Ted Bundy comes along, where pornography aroused him to the point ofcommitting sex murders, it is too lateto get rid of the stuff; it is too deeplyentrenched in a community.The German Protestant theologianKurt Koch documents 178 cases ofChristians involved with spiritism, seances, telepathy, necromancy, and demonism. Being saved and born againis no guarantee that one won’t beinvolved with this stuff. The more youexpose yourself to it through televisionand movies, the more likely you are toexplore it, experiment with it, becomeobsessed with it, or have it affect youContinued on 6

Page 6 October 2019BIBLE BELIEVERS’ BULLETINSatanismContinued from 5in some way.Now here are the attitudes aboutthe survival of demonism and the occult. Among modern doctors, psychologists, and psychiatrists, the attitudeis one of unbelief. They reject the lifeand ministry of the Lord Jesus Christas an out-and-out lie, even if they dobelong to some church. The Bible saysthe Lord Jesus came to heal “all thatwere oppressed of the devil” (Acts10:38). The Lord Jesus Christ Himselfpersonally called the Apostle Paulto turn sinners “from the power ofSatan unto God” (Acts 26:18). Thedisciple who was the closest to JesusChrist while He was here on this earthwrote, “For this purpose the Son ofGod was manifested, that he mightdestroy the works of the devil” (1John 3:8). If you have been educatedout of your belief in a personal Devil(as my father was), then I know twothings about you: 1) You are not aBible believer, even if you are a professing Christian, and 2) you think youare smarter than the only sinless Manwho ever lived.The second attitude is that there aresuch things as spirits, etc., but they arepositive and good and helpful. I readin a book entitled Witchcraft Ancientand Modern by a Wiccan high priestnamed Raymond Buckland: “‘Thoushalt not suffer a witch to live’[Exod. 22:18] sternly says the Bible,but what did the Bible actually meanby ‘witch’?”Now watch this guy do what everyprofessor (with very few exceptions)on the Bible faculties at Bob Jones,Tennessee Temple, Liberty, PacificCoast, Fuller, Dallas, Moody, Louisville, Maranatha, New Orleans, “TheMaster’s Seminary” (John MacArthur’sschool), etc., did when faced with areading in the plain, clear English textof the Holy Bible (AV 1611) which theydidn’t like or didn’t understand. Everyone of them had the same, basic SOP,and every infidel from the Moslems tothe witches has picked up the practicefrom conservative and fundamentalChristian “scholars.” Whenever thereis something in that Book that “rubsthem the wrong way” or which theyare too stupid to grasp, they will all runto the “original Greek” or the “originalHebrew” to make it say what they wantit to say. Watch this witch high priestdo exactly that.“It has been pointed out by the lateDr. Cast, among others, that the original word was venefica [a Latin word;not a Hebrew one], meaning ‘poisoner’rather than ‘witch.’ ‘Thou shalt notsuffer a poisoner to live’ makes a farbetter sense.” It would to a witch, yes.“There is no fear of death in witchcraft. It is a time for celebration, for oneof the main tenets of the religion is abelief in reincarnation. At death, thereis no heaven and no hell. There is justone place for everyone.”Yeah, and you are going to wind upin that “one place” if you don’t watchout. “Broad is the way, that leadethto destruction, and many there bewhich go in thereat” (Matt. 7:13).You will wind up in the same “place” asyour god (Matt. 25:41 cf. 2 Cor. 4:4).“The spirit, or soul, goes to thisplace . . . .” The guy hasn’t a clue asto what he is saying. The spirit and thesoul aren’t the same: they aren’t thesame in English; they aren’t the samein Greek; they aren’t the same in Hebrew (see my work Body, Soul, Spirit)Continued on 7

BIBLE BELIEVERS’ BULLETINOctober 2019 Page 7SatanismContinued from 6“. . . which is ruled over by THE GOD. . . .” Why, there is “the god” of 2 Corinthians 4:4 who has blinded this guyblinder than a bat going backwardsthrough a blizzard. “. . . and thererests and relaxes until growing youngonce again. It is finally REBORN . . . .”Oh, get out of my Bible! This guy isobsessed with a Book he doesn’t evenbelieve: “heaven,” “hell,” “the god,” “reborn,” etc. I wish guys like RaymondBuckland would leave my Bible alone.“. . . reborn through the agency of thegoddess . . . .” There’s the mothergoddess—Semiramis, Ashtaroth, Isis,Venus, Gaia, and “Mary, the Queen ofHeaven” (Jer. 44).“There is no need for hell or a finaljudgment in witchcraft because of theirbelief in retribution in the present life.”Why that’s the belief of every humanist, evolutionist, and Marxist on theface of this earth: no final heaven, nofinal hell; only retribution in this life.Out on the street, the sinner will say, “Ibelieve your heaven and hell are herenow.” I wonder who taught that to them(see 2 Cor. 4:4).Modern witchcraft makes a benefactor out of the witches: it’s called“white witchcraft.” It’s the same oldstory, though. You have moral sinnersand immoral sinners, but they are allsinners who have broken God’s lawand are headed for the same place(see above). People, the Devil doesn’tcare whether he gets you to hell fromthe penthouse, the church pew, or thegutter, as long as he gets you into hellwith him (see Pharaoh as a type of theDevil in hell in Ezek. 32:31).The third attitude toward thesethings is that all mental trouble and allmental disturbance are of the Devil.The Catholics believed this b
