“The first part of the tent is an example for the present time.
The gifts and sacrifices that were brought there could
not give the worshiper a clear conscience.”
(Heb 9:9, GW)
Because a Satanic priesthood is not founded upon a relationship with God, all kinds of simulations and impersonations of this so-called relationship needs to be presented at faith gatherings. If the living God is not the one who is worshiped, a sense-making fiction, a myth, originates. Within this context the myth is similar to myths of a Greek and Egyptian origin, except that it features Christian figures and stories handed down through generations to legitimize this faith system. The myth is played out in different rituals that take place whenever these believers gather. Thus most rituals have a certain symbolic worth, and are prescribed by the dogma or tradition of the community of believers. The Satanic priesthood perform these rituals, and thus it replaces true worship of the Living God.
From this perspective many of the Reformed spiritual traditions, rituals and the tales handed down can be considered as highly suspect. (We are not even mentioning those found in the Catholic tradition. ) Let’s examine a few of them – the church building (Acts 17:24); Sunday as traditional church day (Rom 14:5); the celebration of Easter and Christmas on wrong dates, the result of days dedicated to idols (Isthar and Mithras are honoured on these days); church clothes (Matt 6:25); the baptism of infants (Mark 16:16), confirmation (Col 2:8); the reading of the Law (Gal 5:4); fetes (John 2:16). The same could be said for Charismatic traditions – false apostles (2 Cor 11:13), false prophets and false teachers (2 Pet 2:1); the great emphasis on money (Acts 8:20); false spiritual gifts (2 Peter 2:17), to name but a few.
If the Living God withdraws, man can’t help but instate dead rituals to act in his stead. Many are bound to the false horns of the altar through these rituals, this frightening “doctrine of salvation”.
The satanic priesthood always dispels the true priesthood. Therefore Jesus says in Matt 23:34-35: “Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.”
And yes, this happens “between the temple and the altar”, that ill-lit space where the Enemy interject and sows his tares alongside God’s good seed (Matt 13:25).
