ForewordConfused and disillusioned, many today are wondering, “Is there aGod? Where is He? What, if anything, is God doing?” Mankind sees scantevidence in religion of God’s direct involvement in the course of humanity.Shackled by tradition and religious myths, even professing “Christianity”gropes in a vacuum of ignorance regarding God’s true plan for mankind.Why? Because man has (for the most part, unknowingly) rejectedthe key to that plan—the knowledge of the seventh-day Sabbath and holydays of God. Instead, traditional holidays—including Sunday—have beenadopted and accepted as “Christian.”Declaring the “end from the beginning,” the true God of the Bible isactively involved in the affairs of man, ordering events according to Hismaster plan as outlined by His Sabbath and feast days. Obviously, Satan thedevil hates God’s plan—for it also pictures his ultimate removal as the “godof this present age.”In what is perhaps one of the greatest conspiracies in the history ofmankind, Satan has devised a cleverly disguised counterfeit “Christianity”to blind men from the knowledge of God’s true plan. Analogous to KingJeroboam of ancient Israel—who substituted false “feast days” in place ofGod’s true holy days—Satan has deceptively ensnared an unsuspectingworld into believing that pagan occult holidays are acceptable forms of worship toward God.In Occult Holidays or God’s Holy Days—Which?, Fred R. Coulterbrings to light this satanic conspiracy, uncovering in detail the occult rootsof today’s so-called “Christian” holidays—Halloween, Christmas, Easter,etc.—proving that such holidays are, in reality, a form of Satan worship.Mr. Coulter demonstrates how God’s seven annual holy days form atype of framework upon which are hung the various aspects of God’s planas they are fulfilled over time. This publication fully illustrates how God’sseventh-day Sabbath and holy days picture His plan of salvation for all ofmankind, concentrating on the establishment of the Kingdom of God and theeternal rule of Jesus Christ.For a materialistic generation surrounded by religious indifference, intolerance and confusion, this book provides vital information. Emphasis is placedon the fact that the God of truth cannot be worshiped with pagan lies, myths andforms of worship, as God can only be worshiped “in spirit and in truth.”In a world of relativism where the line between right and wrong, goodand evil are increasingly blurred, Occult Holidays or God’s Holy Days—Which? pulls no punches. Fred Coulter has captured, in a single book, thecrux of the matter: Will we worship the true God, as He instructs—with theunderstanding of His true plan for mankind—or will we continue to look tomyths, fables and false forms of worship that are of no avail?The reader, indeed, will be compelled to choose—Which?Philip NealMay 2006i

PrefaceA carefully crafted worldview being disseminated in western societytoday is one which is not founded on the moral absolutes of yesteryear—atime when most people agreed on what was right and what was wrong, whatwas good and what was evil, who was wicked and who was righteous, andwhich things were true and which things were false. Instead, this new mindset tenaciously maintains that individuals must “consider” all the differentreligious and lifestyle alternatives of a culturally diverse world, accepting allbeliefs and customs as equal and valid (with the exception of the Christianviewpoint, which is rejected with hostility and disdain). In the name of“tolerance,” judging moral behavior is simply not permitted.The inevitable outcome of this approach is a world where it isbelieved there is no absolute truth, or if there is, it cannot be known. Theindividual becomes his own god, creating his own “reality”—and “truth” iswhatever one wants or imagines it to be. This pervasive “postmodernthinking,” as it is called, has gone mainstream in just one generation.In his book The Death of Truth, Jim Leffel writes: “Postmodernistsbelieve that truth is created, not discovered . In a recent series of morethan twenty interviews conducted at random at a large university, peoplewere asked if there was such a thing as absolute truth—truth that is trueacross all times and cultures for all people. All but one respondent [a Biblebelieving Christian] answered along these lines:‘Truth is whatever you believe.’‘There is no absolute truth.’‘If there were such a thing as absolute truth, how could we knowwhat it is?’‘People who believe in absolute truth are dangerous.’ ”Leffel continues: “Truth, declares a growing collective consciousness,is relative: what is true, right or beautiful for one person isn’t necessarilytrue, right or beautiful for another. Relativism says that truth isn’t fixedby outside reality [especially by a Creator God in heaven], but is decided by a group or individual for themselves. Truth isn’t discovered,but manufactured. Truth is ever-changing not only in insignificant matters of taste or fashion, but in crucial matters of spirituality, morality, andreality” (pp. 20, 31, bold emphasis and bracketed comments added).It is not difficult to follow this mindset to its logical conclusion. Iftwenty people have twenty different concepts about what is right and what iswrong, where does law and order fit in? Eventually, total lawlessness—even anarchy—is certain to follow. In trashing the truth of God, one fallsprey to his own corrupt nature and his life becomes empty, void of purposeand understanding. As King David noted: “Behold, You have made mydays as a handbreadth, and my age is as nothing before You. Surely everyman at his best state is altogether vanity . Surely every man walks aboutin a vain show! Surely they are in an uproar in vain. He heaps up riches anddoes not know who shall gather them” (Psa. 39:5-6).The apostle Paul prophesied of a time when lawlessness would reignv

Prefacein men’s hearts. “Know this also, that in the last days perilous times shallcome; for men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, braggarts, proud,blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without naturalaffection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, savage, despisers ofthose who are good, betrayers, reckless, egotistical, lovers of pleasurerather than lovers of God; having an outward appearance of godliness, butdenying the power of true godliness. But as for you, turn away from allthese . They are always learning but are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (II Tim. 3:1-5, 7).Although knowledge in the sciences has increased exponentially inthis postmodern age, secular society has become spiritually atrophied, crippled and incapable of attaining the truth of God in Christ Jesus because ithas repudiated the Word of God.Paul wrote that creation itself is a witness to all mankind of the truthof God—and that in renouncing His visible truth as displayed throughoutHis creation, man becomes vulnerable to countless deceptions and chicanery: “For the invisible things of Him are perceived from the creation of theworld, being understood by the things that were made—both His eternalpower and Godhead—so that they are without excuse; because when theyknew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but theybecame vain in their own reasonings, and their foolish hearts were darkened.While professing themselves to be the wise ones, they became foolsand changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of animage of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed creatures, andcreeping things.“For this cause, God also abandoned them to uncleanness throughthe lusts of their hearts, to disgrace their own bodies between themselves,who exchanged the truth of God for the lie; and they worshiped andserved the created thing more than the one Who is Creator, Who isblessed into the ages. Amen” (Rom. 1:20-25).Satan the devil, who is “the prince of the power of the air” (Eph. 2:2)and anti-Christ, is behind the many deceptions that elevate the created abovethe Creator. One vehicle he utilizes to accomplish this in society today is,paradoxically, public education.A former teacher, Beverly K. Eakman, is the current executive director of the National Education Consortium and the author of Cloning of theAmerican Mind: Eradicating Morality Through Education (HuntingtonHouse). In her insightful article “Bushwhacking Johnny,” published in theSeptember 2002 issue of Chronicles Magazine, Eakman expounded how theeducational system is destroying truth, morals and independent thought intoday’s young students by using what is called “cognitive dissonance” topsychologically disorient them. She writes: “When cognitive dissonance isemployed against an unsuspecting person—or worse, against a captive audience such as schoolchildren—the short-term objective is to prompt insecureindividuals to find company, leading to a group (mob) mentality. Thismakes it easier to reverse values held by the majority. ‘Truth’ can evenvi

The verypeople freedom of speech was designed to protect are left not only vulnerable but suspicious of the principle itself.“What ‘new values’ are educators trying to instill? Here is a sevenpoint list, given to educators in North Carolina at an in-service workshop:There is no right or wrong, only conditioned responses.The collective good is more important than the individual.Consensus is more important than principle.Flexibility is more important than accomplishment.Nothing is permanent except change.All ethics are situational; there are no moral absolutes.There are
