‘Occult Dangers’
‘Talking to the Dead and Stranger Things?’ Part 2
In depth 5 part series of ‘What Happens When We Die.’
By Stephen Bennett 2026 - March 8th…April 3rd
We established from scripture in part 1, that believers in Christ fall asleep when their current body on earth dies, and in the future they will be changed, and or resurrected to everlasting life in a new spiritual body that never dies. Non-believers however, their soul dies with no second chance at redemption, and they will live forever in everlasting contempt, when they are resurrected to judgement (Revelation 20:11-15). It doesn’t sound ‘fair,’ but that is the wonder of human freewill choice God gave to all human beings; either believe in the true God or not. There are eternal outcomes either way.
We understand there is also an immense spiritual battle in these end-times, for the real knowledge of what is true about death and eternity, that millions must know. God designed mankind to be eternal, but Adam and Eve, with the deception of satan in the Eden garden, caused us all to die; welcome to my nightmare (Song, Alice Cooper 1975).Part of the continuing battle for the truth of death and eternity, is satanic occult deception and many other stranger false ideological ideas. All of them… deeply deceive people from knowing the truth about dying and what really happens. In this part 2 we will explore…
Most occult, and other false religious deceptions, centre around some form of communicating with deceased loved ones, ancestors, and giving false hope to unbelievers who open themselves up spiritually to these lies. Think:Dead people, who are alive or dead without Jesus Christ, know nothing (see scripture below). They perish while they live, consumed by this temporal life and all its pursuits, distracting them from seeking and truly knowing God. When they are dead in this world, then they are dead! That’s it! They know nothing! Gone!
Dead People in Their Sins
“For the living know that they will die (those in Christ);but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; NEVERMORE will they have a share in anything done under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 9:5-6).
Dead people who die without Jesus Christ in their lives, havelived their gift of life span on earth (which everybody gets, born into this current world), BUT… they know nothing on the other side of death, they are not a conscious soul anymore and cannot communicate with us on earth. This is what really happens!
The world, and various movies create a fantasy of dead people being close, or are trying to communicate with the living in a state of restless limbo. Or like in some cultures, are fighting battles with demons or other strange creatures in in some weird testing matrix before they are hopefully re-incarnated. According to biblical truth, this is impossible! The soul of an non-believer in the true God of heaven, is completely dead, and has no part, or ‘share in anything’ in the world of the living, as it is written. Honouring ‘restless dead spirits’ in some cultures is a deception. Those ‘restless spirits’ are demon entities, not restless family… Why! For they are dead, and cannot be restless at all…
Clairvoyants, card readers, mediums and other occult practices, do not talk with the departed dead, they are not there; those intermediaries are listening to the deception of familiar fallen spirits; which are demons. They will DEFILE YOUR LIFE, if you open yourself to communicate with them on a regular basis. You and your family will attract all manner of wrath and problems… Why? Your human spirit is unprotected …
Defiling Demons
What does it mean to be defiled by the occult? Opening yourself up to these demons through spiritual mediums as a practice, will make your life increasingly dark, impure, foul, dirty, and unclean. The false demonic spirits taint, debase, and pollute you, the deeper you get involved. It takes ‘time to bind’ and it’s almost a ritual to them. They desecrate you, ruining your reputation. It is a type of ‘spiritual violence’ albeit unknowingly, often passive for you in the process.
Desecrate literally means; to rape you and take your virginity. Now you know why you see the fruit of this defiling practice in false religion, attacking and abusing women, trafficking and extreme child abuse; they are driven by demons! You think it is so bad in this life! Imagine living with these demonic spirit’s for eternity without God; here’s the warning!
‘GIVE NO REGARD to mediums and familiar spirits; DO NOT SEEK after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.’ (Leviticus 19:31). “And the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people” (Leviticus 20:6). The consequences are very serious ‘dabbling’ in the dangers of the stranger things of the occult! It’s likened to becoming a prostitute; you let these demons have their way with you, desecrating your precious life. Sexual perversion, abuse and lack of logical self control, often swirls around the occult and false cultic religions…
Occult Portals
Opening up your spirit to clairvoyants, card readers (whether tarot or playing cards), mediums, seances and other occult reading practices; to contact the dead, or get life direction or ‘advice,’ can draw you into deep deception and darkness. Without God in your life, your unprotected spirit is open to the devil’s deceptions. It will eventually ruin your life, causing you to be cut off from God, and His protection (eg, the seance outcome in the movie The Exorcist; even though ‘just a film,’ it actually ruined the actresses life who played the girl lead). The religious priest in the film, had NO spiritual authority to deal with the devil, and was killed!
None of these practices are The Truth, but demonic deceptions! No conscious soul leaves the human body when a person dies. Dead people who are unbelievers are dead, and not conscious, aware, or involved with anything on earth. Believers souls rest and go to be with the Lord. If you are involved in anything occult, or obvious false abusive religion, the best thing you can do, is to turn around and give your life to Jesus. Have it washed out of your life, and be saved and protected from it. At the very end of this article there is a prayer to God you can sincerely make…
Protect Your Mind and Spirit
“But man dies and is laid away; indeed he breathes his last and where is he? As water disappears from the sea, and a river becomes parched and dries up, so man lies down and does not rise (like he’s ‘evaporated’). Till the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor be roused from their sleep” (Job 14:10-12). It’s not till the end when people ar resurrected from that state; either to everlasting life or everlasting contempt.
They do not sleep in rest like a believer does, but they will only be awakened for the final White Throne Judgement of the lost unbelievers (Revelation 20:11-15). Their eternity without God, after that judgement is terrible beyond any imagination! If you know you are not saved… you have a choice right now…
“But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the SIMPLICITY that is in Christ. For if he who comes preaches ANOTHER Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive A DIFFERENT SPIRIT which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!” (being deceived into believing it’s real) (2 Corinthians 11:3-4). Again Apostle Paul was warning against the vast deception that was and is to come, especially in these last days. Paul was scared for their lives… he knew the religious and occultic deceptions of satan…
Angel of Light
“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:3-4). Think about this!
The devil doesn’t run around dressed in red with horns and a pitchfork like in the movies, but he is a… FALSE ANGEL OF SPIRITUAL LIGHT! With the ability to ‘Morph,’ or transform himself and others, into something so deceptive even the most elect could be deceived…
“Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). Their end is not good either! True is this saying: ‘For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.’ (Ephesians 6:12)
It is very important at this point that you understand who your spiritual enemy truly is behind every danger of the occult, and the many false religions and cults that distract and deceive people from the true God of heaven. It starts and finishes with the following fallen angel… who now has a vast network of spiritual wickedness across the whole world.
Lucifer Who Became Satan
If you didn’t know; the Lord God of Heaven actually created Lucifer, a guardian archangel to be in His presence. His portfolio was to cover and protect, arching over God’s throne, screening it from any problem or threat. He also covered the throne and the heavens with music, as protector and guardian of those realms. The music came from God and was blown through him by the Spirit, through instruments built into him. Music was his main weapon!
“You were the anointed Cherub that covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.” (Ezekiel 28:14).
Living continually in God’s presence, Lucifer was a trusted intimate of God Himself. “You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.” (Ezekiel 28:12b-13a).He wasn’t a fat cherub reclining in a cloud with a harp or bow and arrow!
Archangel Lucifer was made skilful in wisdom and understanding, the epitome of perfection, a beautiful creature, an ever-present living sacrifice of worship to God.“O Lucifer, son of the morning!” (Isaiah 14:12a).He was even called a son, in a privileged relationship as an archangel with the Triune family of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You must realise, he was made perfect with great wisdom. He knows how to deceive humanity very well with great craftiness; through occult religions, cults and creeds. In these end days we see it glaringly obvious on every news feed, every day!
Let it be clearly known: Lucifer was not Jesus, as some cults, secret societies and religions have said, this is clear from scripture. Lucifer was just a beautiful, created, angelic spirit being. ‘And of the angels, He says: “Who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire.”’ (Hebrews 1:7). He was designed as a spirit minister of the fire of God! He knew how to give heat and take it!
He was a light of the righteous fire of God’s Spirit, bringing forth heaven’s sound, ministered by and through the Holy Spirit. In a vast company of angels, he was a leader, The name Lucifer comes from the Hebrew word heylel, meaning; brightness, or morning star. From the root word halal, meaning; to make a clear sound, a show and boast of, to rave, celebrate, and be given in praise. He knows very well how to manifest as a false angel of light, because he used to be an angel of light for God!
Lucifer’s Hard Fall
Lucifer, the living art piece, had a major problem with pomp and arrogant pride; he lost his job and it made him dark as Hell!’Your pomp is brought down to Sheol (Hell), and the sound of your stringed instruments; the maggot is spread under you, and worms cover you’ (Isaiah 14:11).Pride killed Lucifer’s sound, his beauty and light. He will become worm-ridden and maggot ugly in hell (Ghenna, the judgement Lake of Fire); a place of intense misery, Hellish torment and scorching fire that burns for eternity. Why would anyone want to be there! Now it gets interesting…
“How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven I will exalt my throne above the stars of God I will sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’ “Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol (Hell), to the lowest depths of the Pit. Those who see you will gaze at you, and consider you, saying: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms, who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed its cities, who did not open the house of his prisoners?’” (Isaiah 14:12-17).
Lucifer vehemently wanted to be God! He went from being an angel of beauty, wisdom, light and perfection, into a grossly dark vicious being, set on weakening and destroying nations. It is only because of the restraint of the Holy Spirit (the restrainer) in the earth all these thousands of years, that he has not been allowed to go full on satanic from the depths of satan in this world, but he will… It will be unlike anything ever seen on earth, the worst end-time tribulation period of deeply troubled times and chaos in all of history. The wrath of God unleashed, before the return of Christ (Revelation 2:24, 2 Thessalonians 2:6). Here is the reason…
‘The coming of the lawless one (anti-christ)is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). This is heavy truth… along with the stranger dangers of the occult, false religions and cults bringing these lies! The end-time battle is according to the works of satan in all unrighteous deceptions that will take millions to perish hell. Why? BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO USE THEIR GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO CHOOSE! To receive the truth of love of God and be saved! And because the unbelievers keep on rejecting the Lord, God ends up helping the deception with a strong delusion for them to really believe the lie and be condemned!
Lucifer is NOW Satan
In his fall from grace, Lucifer the light bringer, transposed, morphed into satan; who could now only transform himself into a false angel of light. Satan in the Hebrew means: the arch-enemy of good, the opponent, adversary, and attacker of God. The Greek word is ‘satanas,’ the devil accuser. Devil in the Hebrew, is ‘sair,’ the hairy one or a shaggy he-goat. The Hebrew word, ‘shed’means a malignant shade of devastation and waste! The Greek word for Devil is, ‘diabolos,’ the divider, a cast-out channel of false accusation, or ‘diamonion,’ a demonic being or deity (manifesting as false gods, familiar spirits, demons…etc) Ok, enough of this devil stuff!
Jesus said of satan: “... for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has NOTHING in Me.” John 14:30b. The same scripture in the Amplified Bible, “... for the prince (evil genius, ruler) of the world is coming and has no claim on Me...” and, ‘… that through death He (Jesus) might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,’ (Hebrews 2:14b).
Satan, even though an evil genius, HAS NO POWER NOW over Jesus Christ! Jesus destroyed his power over death and all the deceptions that come with dying and where we go. Excellent news for you the believer! Satan fell big-time. “Hell (Gehenna The Lake of Fire) from beneath is excited about you (satan), to meet you at your coming; it stirs up the dead for you, all the chief ones of the earth; it has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations!” Isaiah 14:9. Hell is where the deceiving deal of satan ends and finishes, for this shaggy devil, along with all his followers, leaders and workers of every occult practice, false religions and cults!
“Satan deceives the world, but has now NO POWER over Jesus Christ!”
Here’s the TRUTH: In faith you are ‘buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us (the Old Testament law), which was contrary to us. And He (Jesus) has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross (Incredible!). Having disarmed principalities and powers (everything to do with satan’s powers and rule over death), He (Jesus) made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.’ (Colossians 2:12-15). T
Think: this means: on the cross over 2000 years ago the positional truth is, Jesus totally defeated satan forever. All he has been allowed to do since then is deceive humans into believing he still has the power, and that God and religion is powerless. BUT once you give your life to Jesus Christ the defeater of satan, you are then free to follow the Lord and be free from that deception. It is and will be a battle in life, where our faith is truly tested, yet strengthened in the process.
Lastly, REMEMBER: You, as a believer, overcome satan by your faith in the shed blood of Jesus on the cross and the word of your testimony about Him (Revelation 19:10)! Until Jesus comes back, the devil will keeps playing darts with fire and you’re the target dart board! He’s forever relentless! Especially in these last days as he is making great war against alll believers, and to viciously stop anyone believing. He knows he is going to hell, and wants everyone to go there too. “For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time” (Revelation 12:12). ‘It was granted to him (the anti-christ possessed by satan), to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation’ (Revelation 13:7).
Satanas is a great deceiver, who will use any means he wants to burn your life, but you win! ‘Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one (satan)’ (Ephesians 6:16).
Kill those darts with faith and power before they even hit the target!
Think: All this knowledge is important to understand how the devil infiltrates the world we live in with all manner of deception; to keep you away from God and even to the point of what truly happens when people die and what is on the other-side! SO… know the truth and it will set you FREE! “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32).
Doctrines of Demons
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times (end-times) some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy…” (1 Timothy 4:1-2a).
These doctrines are deceptive, unbiblical teachings by demon forces aimed at leading believers away from the Christian faith; full of hypocrisy, falsehood, legalism, twisting the nature of God, humanity, and Jesus.
The symptoms of the teachings can often practice excessive self-denial, voluntary poverty, and unnatural levels of moderation to curb physical desires, all to achieve spiritual growth; by mental discipline or higher consciousness.
Extremes can be renouncing all worldly pleasures and comforts, such as legalistic fasting of specific food or meats that God actually created for all of us to enjoy.‘For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving’ (1 Timothy 4:4).
Also celibacy, forbidding marriage, or just a simple life are found in many religious traditions. It says, holiness comes through self-denial rather than faith… it’s a false self righteousness, that replaces the core truths of the Gospel, promoting ‘another Jesus’ or a ‘different gospel’ completely. Jesus said, ‘beware of the Pharisees leaven’ (Matthew 16:6).
They confuse good and evil, distort the glorious nature of humanity, and promote demonic influence under the guise of intellectual or spiritual enlightenment, often spread through false teachers who work signs and wonders to deceive people. They encourage reliance on works rather than the sufficiency of Christ’s work on the cross. These doctrines are said to be delivered by hypocritical teachers who have “seared consciences” and the doctrines exploit human lust or pride causing great spiritual damage.
God Hates Deception and the Occult
‘A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death(Leviticus 20:27). This was an Old Testament law, of course we don’t do that today, but being involved in any measure in these practices will bring death to things in your world. The occult life involvement will eventually destroy you and cut you off from the real God for all eternity, unless you repent and turn to the Lord. The old law shows us clearly. God hates this false spirituality, they are abominations to Him!
“When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a MEDIUM, or a SPIRITIST, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you” (Deuteronomy 18:9-12).
God hates these practices because THEY ARE FALSE, deceiving people, and drawing them away from HIM, the True God! So much for sweet Harry Potter and his world of demonic deception! Delivered in impressionable ‘childhood packaging,’ in your face, with well made Oscar movies. As good as they were as movie productions, God hates what they represent. Think: How easily was the world enamoured and deceived!? How many young lives have been defiled and spiritually ripped off by the mass exposure to the spells and rituals of the occult? NO! It’s not friendly family fun!
What are Familiar spirits
They are fallen demon spirits who are familiar with people and their lives on earth. They can pretend and impersonate family members, or friends or loved ones after they die. Mediums, clairvoyants, readers, spiritualist churches, of all kinds, are conduits for these demonic forces; selling lies about people, and that the dead are still alive ‘on the other side’ waiting to chat and connect with you as they drift in the in-between limbo! They can actually speak wrong words over you, lies, and make them come to pass.
They unwittingly become a gateway, or a portal for demonic influences to enter people’s lives who turn to them for guidance. Remember the scripture warning: “I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.” Do you know anyone like that?
King Saul & Mediums
A classic biblical example of this truth, is what happened to king Saul in the Old Testament. He was in a desperate war situation, where a great Philistine army was coming against him and Israel. Saul in all his insecurity and jealousy of the popular David, had been departing from God’s ways in his own life for sometime and the Lord didn’t speak to him.
Previously, Saul had banned the medium occultists from the land but in his fear and weakness of leadership, he visited the witch of Endor (sounds like some movie!), who had familiar spirits. Get this: He asked her to conduct a seance and call upon the prophet Samuel who recently died. Now we have an evil ‘exorcist situation’…
The woman saw a demonic familiar spirit, ‘ascending out of the earth,’ that impersonated the prophet Samuel to speak to Saul. The familiar spirit said, “the Lord has departed from you and has become your enemy… the Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbour, David (Saul lost his life and kingship authority)…” WHY?
“Because you did not obey the voice of the Lord… the Lord will also deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines (his decision to turn to the occult affected the whole nation!). And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me (who? The devil!)” (1 Samuel 28). (Wow! This decision to obey the words of the medium kills Saul and his children!). ‘For the wages of sin is death’ (Romans 6:23)
“So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the Lord, because he did not keep the word of the Lord, and also because he consulted a medium for guidance” (1 Chronicles 10:13). There it is in B&W… no denying, that spiritist world is evil and demonic and another of satan’s distractions to deceive people about the truth of death and dying; this spirit is rampant on earth now 2026+.
At the end of the day, it is all the same lie that began in the Garden of Eden; that all of us as humans can be immortal and smart without God! ‘Then the serpent (satan) said to the woman, “You will not surely die” (Genesis 3:4). But what did God say? ‘in the day that you eat of it (The fruit of the tree, to decide for yourself what is good, evil, right or wrong) you shall surely die” (Genesis 2:17).
You Shall Not Die?
This demonic lie from the Eden garden infected all of history like a planned pandemic disease. Pharma Satan knew the outcome of his enticement; and there was no injection to heal the death wound, until Jesus came and destroyed the centuries old march of death and dying that Adam and Eve started. Jesus blood shed on the cross was the final blood ‘vaccine’ itself against death. Remarkable!
Through the centuries and false religions, humanity has tried to understand life and death without God. Egyptians buried the dead in elaborate pyramids to ‘protect the dead in the afterlife’ leaving them food and provisions which just rotted (what a waste). It was prevalent in other cultures such as Rome and Greece. It also became false Catholic doctrine, teaching people to pray to the dead saints on Sundays.
The dead without Christ are not in heaven, that is false. Some may be in the waiting space of Hades (Sheol), but remember humans do not have a conscious soul or spirit when death comes. Dead people do not praise the Lord in ‘spiritual services,’ as the dead in Christ who believe are not in eternal heaven yet. “The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; but the earth He has given to the children of men. The dead do not praise the Lord, nor any who go down into silence. But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore (on the earth while we are alive and in eternity forever when it comes)” (Psalm 115:16-18).
King David
Peter preached on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit fell and 3000 people gave their life to the Lord Jesus. He said, ‘For David (prophetically) says concerning Him: ‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; moreover my flesh also will rest (sleep)in hope. For You will not leave my soul in Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence’ (Acts 2:25-28).
David had a prophetic vision of his future, and knew that when he died, his dead body will rest in hope for his own resurrected future, the same that would happen to Jesus Christ, who would come from David’s seed line. And because of David’s belief in the Lord his soul would not be left in hell, and corruption would not be his end (a dead body without Christ) as he will live in an eternal spiritual body for ‘putting on incorruption.’ Peter said, David was both dead and buried to this day… awaiting in hope for resurrection and incorruption; that is the eternal spiritual body.
David knew Christ would be raised up in the future and Jesus would also not see corruption but sit at the right hand of Father God in heaven (paradise), and in so doing make way for the Holy Spirit to be poured out on everybody past present and future, so they could be brought back to God.
“Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. Therefore (Jesus) being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.” The Day of Pentecost where it was the Holy Spirit’s turn to be poured out on the earth, to help humanity with great power, to live in Christ, turn to Jesus, and to be the restrainer against the satanic world.
“For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” (Acts 2:29-36). Plain and simple truth… everyone has to know… GOD MADE JESUS, Lord Christ and Saviour of the world…
David did not ascend into heaven, for he knew that Jesus had to sit at the right hand of the Father till all the enemies were dealt with forever. Then the final end could come, and eternal life with new eternal spiritual bodies can be given to all who believe, to be with God forever.
The cry of Peter on the day of Pentecost: LET ALL OF ISRAEL KNOW…God made this Jesus who they crucified! The message is the same for today. Let all the world know that God made this Jesus! Why? Because He completely destroyed sin, death and the works of the devil on the cross. Why? So you could come back to the original intention God had for humanity, that He gave Adam and Eve in the original Paradise garden. To live forever with Him for all eternity. Do you believe that?
False Deceiving Spirits and Angels of Light
In part one of this series (see previous blog), we saw the Old Testament Prophet Daniel in the midst of a massive spiritual war for the truth of what he witnessed about the end-times and the resurrection of believers and non-believers.
The genuine archangels of God, Gabriel and Michael got involved in that spiritual war with the demon prince over Persia (Iran); to get help to Daniel, and for him to understand the visions, as he had suffered sickness, depression and spiritual attack.
In these end-times, deceiving false angels of light, and ancient demon entities have and will appear to false prophets, claiming they have a message or revelation from heaven (false religions), and or the dead, to ultimately deceive people away from the truth of the gospel, and what truly happens when you die.
‘For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works’ (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).
People are deceived and blinded through many false Revelations (as with those false religions now trying to take over the world with their wickedness). The demons deceive by turning up as ‘angels of light’ appearing in splendour to enamour and deceive with false miracles, impersonating the dead, bringing narratives that contradict the truth of the Bible, confusing and drawing people away from the real Truth of biblical Christianity, with something that looks real BUT IS NOT!
This is why it is so important to read, know and understand the Bible scriptures. Not just having a cool book on your shelf gathering dust!
The great Apostle Paul warned us that these angels of light, false gospels and religions will bring a curse on the people involved.‘But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed’ (Galatians 1:8). Clear as day… be objective when you look at any false religion, the curse over it will be obvious to you. It is always dark, always abusive, always swirling around death and killing. Never mercy, kindness, love, healing or promises of good and eternity.
Many of these false doctrines and communications, deliver deviations of truth, and come in the form of apparitions or ghostly fearful figures, claiming to be angel Gabriel or Mary visions as a false ‘saviour’ with a message for the world. These angels of light demons, mimic, and impersonate; they can even pretend they are your loved ones and family, to deceive the gullible.
False Cults Religions and Stranger Things in the End Days
These spirits come as angels of deception to start movements and religions way before the end-times we live in now 2026+. Why? To ultimately impact millions in these last days to condemn them to an everlasting eternity without God. This the ultimate goal of satanic deception…
The Mormon Church in the USA for example, started with a visit from the Angel Moroni who brought a false gospel; Mormonism - Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. On September 21, 1823, Joseph Smith was visited by an angel calling itself Moroni (that’s Moron with an i); a supposed resurrected being, who couldn’t even name himself intelligently!
The angel reveals a secret ancient record of engraved golden plates, with the history of early Americans and a ‘gospel of Jesus Christ’ thrown in. Eventually this became The Book of Mormon; today there are nearly 20 millions members world-wide. Gosh; they all partake of the spirit of Moron!
Cults and false prophets driven by occult satanic power, are a sign of the last days before the true Saviour of the world Jesus Christ returns to earth. In the previous 60-80 years, more deceptions than ever around the world, have blinded people from the truth of Christ to lose their souls through false idiotic doctrines, suicide pacts, murders, cultic abuse of women and children; the list is endless.
In the heart of these deceptive lies, is the vicious spiritual battle for the souls of men, women and children. ‘For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places’ (Ephesians 6:12).
The spiritual wrestle in this violent war, often reveals very similar cultic symptoms whatever religious idea it is. Usually a flesh and blood war, and a warped mix of false pseudo religious doctrines, sexual abuse, violence, death and fear. “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” Matthew 24:23-24.
It is well documented that the future leader of Islam was visited at 40 years of age in 610 A.D (way after Christ was on earth), by a false angel of light calling himself gabriel, who over 23 years delivered the words of the Quran. Muhammad (means praiseworthy), was initially terrified for his life and didn’t know if the angel was genuine, as it strongly pressured, forced and demanded him to read and write (definitely not a characteristic of the true godly Archangel Gabriel); and the false angel eventually taught him everything that became written. There are over 2 billion followers today…! This was a most powerful deception…
L. Ron Hubbard, an author of science fiction and fantasy stories, founded the Scientology Church cult (the celebrity church) in Los Angeles USA in 1952. His ideas are rooted in his deep involvement with the occult and love of Aleister Crowley. Around 40,000 members today, but is rapidly declining now, as people in these end-days are awakening to the obvious controlling, abusive, strange and weird deceptions, and are leaving in droves to pursue truth elsewhere.
The growing end-time deceptions today may also involve demonic beings and angels of light appearing as aliens from other planets with enlightened messages of alternate consciousness, tech wonders, AI, all ultimately to turn humanity away from the TRUE God of heaven, and deceive; ‘Aliens are coming!’ not Jesus Christ! Have we not been conditioned for decades with infinity and beyond science fiction, and movies being the main on-line propaganda for all this fantasy?
Last Days Truth and Great Apostasy
Apostle Paul spoke of deceiver miracle workers in the last days. In the Book of Revelation in the Bible, written by the Apostle John in his cinematic vision, he described them who make fire come from heaven and perform miracles to deceive people to worship the end-time Antichrist who is possessed by satan.
“He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived” (Revelation 13:13-14).
The Apostle Paul warned in his letter to Timothy of a Great Apostasy in THE LAST DAYS SEDUCING PEOPLE AWAY FROM TRUE FAITH.‘Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons’ (1 Timothy 4:1). There IS false faith! In fact there are many… and in the end-times they will try and flood, destroy cultures as we have know them, and take over the earth… BUT…
Final Word
‘And this gospel (all the end-time truth) of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come’ (Matthew 24:14).
‘Let NO ONE DECEIVE YOU BY ANY MEANS; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin (anti-Christ) is revealed, the son of perdition’ (2 Thessalonians 2:3)
Occult, demons, angels of light or otherwise, it’s all about deceiving millions of people in the end-times, to fall away from God and forget who He truly is; now and for when we die, and where we go. Time is very short, and Jesus will return to the earth soon as He promised, and everyone who was blinded, and followed something else spiritual that is stranger and weird, WILL SEVERELY REGRET, and either turn to God and repent, or get harder and more deluded in their hearts, heading for hell!
If you are in a cult or any false religion, or tied up in the bondage of the occult, and you know it is wrong, I say to you wake up! NOW, is the time to leave whatever the cost; use your intelligence, approve the truth for yourselves, get moving and give your life to Jesus, the ONLY SAVIOUR of this world. (There is a prayer of salvation for you right at the end of this article).
In these last days any false religion that is currently pressuring the world with violence, fear, and doctrines of demons, will be openly exposed by God Himself for what they truly are… there will be a mass exodus in many religions to come to true faith, as Jesus makes himself known to the world through visions, preaching and the gospel going forth in many ways. TELLING THE WORLD WHO HE TRULY IS. “And the gospel will be preached to the whole world and the end shall come…” (Matthew 24:14).
Think:This article is not a spiritually religious statement just for something else you are to do, but a golden opportunity; for a rebirth in your heart, with the Spirit of the Creator of this world who came here to save mankind. Much of the end-days, is about whether you are deceived or not!
It’s time to turn away from all the extreme eternal dangers of the occult and false demonic religious lies… and finally know Jesus Christ as your Lord!
Jesus Himself warned,“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 4:24).
The elect are defined as ‘special ones, chosen believers, or true followers of Jesus, who God selected for salvation and a special role to play in His plans.’ PLEASE; don’t be one of the ‘IF POSSIBLES…!’
Today is your day of salvation… choose wisely… “ Behold, NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME; behold, now is the day of salvation’ (2 Corinthians 6:2).
Think:… what thoughts are in the puffy cloud above your head…?

Final Thoughts for today…
None of us have been in the end of the end-times before, with all the invasion of technology we experience on every level of life.
We read about the end-times in the Bible, but now we are actually here, our journey is to understand and learn to navigate it all, know where we need to be with Jesus, to be true worshiping effective believers in an ever darkening world.
We must be ready as God’s Bride to be true sons and daughters of God, ‘led by the Spirit’ (Romans 8:14). One day soon we may not be able to play the games of church religious protocols as we have known. How will we stand?
Global societal shifts and changes are accelerating at exponential rates in this world. The world is at war on every level. Deception is everywhere. We all need understanding how to navigate the chaotic and pressured times now and ahead of us as true worshipping believers of Jesus Christ.
Despite everything; be intelligent, wise, critical thinkers, and continue living out your faith on earth while we can, because it will all end one day. Yes, as you know, we all die, but humans were designed to be eternal; and we can with Jesus Christ live forever. May you now emerge and find truth from all the false lies!
If you’re in struggle street of any kind, God has a family / church / company of people / tribe / a place where you’ll fit; ask God and he will show you.

It’s a New Era of History
In 2021, I wrote a prophetic blog stating; ‘we have now transitioned in this time of immense change, into a New Era of History, both in the world at large, and in the Church.’
Things have never been the same since the plan-demic, and will not be ever again. These are the last of the last days…
‘A New Awakening’ has emerged in the world now, and the TRUTH of the gospel is being preached everywhere like never before. Jesus is exposing the falsity in deceptive religion and the Body of Christ. Now, March 2026, everything is moving forward rapidly. Not just in spiritual awareness, but millions of people are well informed and awakened to the lies, deceptions and agendas of this world, and again, false religion parades the world’s streets, that were, and still are being enforced upon humanity, as wars increase in the Middle East and we inch closer to the end.

PRAYER OF FAITH: The Call to give your life to Jesus Christ!
No matter where you are in your Christian walk, Jesus is with you; in your triumphs and trials, to the end! If you have never known God; know this;
“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world (ages)” Amen’Matthew 28:20. ‘
“But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.’Matthew 24:13-14.
Pray this prayer from your heart and your spirit will come alive to God, for with him there is hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
“My Father in heaven, I give you my life, I repent of all my sin, recreate me brand new. I give you my heart. Fill me Lord Jesus Christ with Your Holy Spirit. I believe You died for me on the cross, and by Your shed blood, you washed away my sins once and for all. Raise me from my deadness of my life to live a new life, just like you Jesus, when you were raised from the dead; I believe you did that. Make my spirit reborn, and let me come alive too, filled with Your Holy Spirit.”
“I believe I belong to you Lord. Help me to know you well, teach me Your ways, that I become all that I am meant to be. Help me to love and find love. I thank you Lord that you will always be with me, Amen.”
If you have genuinely prayed this prayer to Jesus Christ, in your seeking of God, or you’re coming back to Him, DM Instagram or FB or email info@endtimewriters.com. Talk to other Christians you may know, and seek to find a solid believing Church where you can grow.
