A SACRIFICE TO BAAL

A SACRIFICE TO BAAL

There is nothing new under the sun.

 

In the Old Testament of the Bible, God exiled his chosen people of Israel out of captivity and led them toward the Promised Land of Canaan. This journey took the people of Israel 40 years to complete. During this journey, however, many Israelites began to fall prey to the gods of the land they were entering. Instead of trusting in the God that split the Red Sea to grant them their freedom, rained down mana for food daily, and did numerous other miracles, they chose to worship the false idols of Canaan. The most notorious of these gods was named Baal.

 

The “god” Baal goes by many different names in different cultures but is typically identifiable by the image of a bull. This is believed to be the same deity that the Israelites first began to worship while in exile. While Moses was on top of Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments from God, the people of Israel began to fear he wouldn’t return. They then demanded that an idol be made for them: a golden calf. The creation of this golden calf, symbolizing Baal, was a demonstration of the speed at which the Israelites would turn from God towards the idols of the land surrounding them.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt. They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’

- Exodus 32:7-8

 

This is just one example among many where Israel fell into the trap of worshipping false gods. One of the most prominent examples can be found in the book of 1 Kings in the Bible. Within this section, it recounts the story of how King Ahab of Israel married Jezebel, a princess from the land of Tyre. Sadly, this marriage led Ahab down a dark path as Jezebel, a woman full of wickedness and impurity, influenced him to start worshipping Baal. What was once limited to a select group of Israelites gained broad acceptance and was even promoted by Israel's leaders. King Ahab went as far as constructing a temple dedicated to this wicked idol. As a result, Israel turned away from Yahweh, the one true living God of creation and instead embraced the false gods of Canaan.

 

 

These Canaanite “gods” however were not just simple pieces of metal. The Bible points to the fact that these deities were truly demons. The book of Revelations describes that these were the angels that rebelled against God with Satan, causing them to be cast out of heaven onto the Earth. And we must remember that these angels followed Satan’s path, with a burning desire to be worshipped like God. So naturally when cast onto the Earth, they would’ve performed signs and wonders, and convinced humans that they themselves were in fact, gods.

 

This is why we can see all the polytheistic religions of the world are referencing the same beings, just by different names and tongues. (Click here to read our article on this subject)

 

The worship of these demons by the Israelites was not only a major rebellion against the true God who saved them, but it also demonstrated a complete disregard for the values and principles that the Lord had established. By engaging in such worship, the Israelites not only abandoned their faith, but also embraced a distorted and twisted version of spirituality. This act of worshipping demons not only jeopardized their relationship with God, but also posed a threat to their moral compass and their ability to discern right from wrong.

 

The abominable nature of this worship was evident especially when we observe the way in which these demons demanded praise:

"They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood."

Psalm 106:35-38

 

That’s right folks. These demons demanded the sacrifice of children as a form of praise.

 

 

This verse directly refers to the practices of Baal worship, as well as the worship of another deity named Moloch. Moloch was depicted with the head of a bull and the body of a human. Followers of Moloch would construct a bronze statue of this being with arms outstretched. The statue would be heated with fire until it turned red-hot, and then a child sacrifice would be placed in the hands of the idol, where the innocent child would be burned to death.

 

The worship of Baal differed slightly and was known for its diverse and wicked practices. In addition to the sexual rituals, which involved acts including homosexuality Baal worship also included the abhorrent practice of sacrificing the first-born male child in a family. These deplorable acts were carried out as part of the religious ceremonies dedicated to Baal, highlighting the extent of the darkness and depravity associated with this form of worship.

 

The Bible draws a parallel between Baal and Molech, highlighting their similarities in the practice of child sacrifice. While these two deities may be referred to by different names in different cultures, they represent the same demonic force. These forces deceive people into worshiping them and engaging in abominable practices, including child sacrifice. The Bible condemns such actions and emphasizes that God never commanded or approved of human sacrifices.

 

"They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin."

- Jeremiah 32:35

 

It is important to understand that these demons exist beyond the limitations of physical bodies. This means that these same spirits are currently still in existence, just as they were in the past. These malevolent forces of evil in the spiritual realm that reigned in biblical times are the same spirits that are present today. The only difference is that they have attempted to disguise themselves. They no longer desire to be personified by the creation of metal idols.

 

However, they still desire to receive the same praise as they did before. The only difference is that now instead of child sacrifice, we call it “abortion”.

 

In today's modern society, it is a heartbreaking reality that we witness the loss of approximately 200,000 unborn children each day. This shocking figure translates to nearly 73 million abortions taking place annually across the globe. It is crucial to acknowledge that these innocent lives are being tragically cut short, depriving them of the opportunity to fulfill the unique purposes for which they were brought into existence. It is imperative to recognize that each and every one of us is fearfully and wonderfully made by God within the womb. Therefore, the act of terminating life in the womb should be unequivocally condemned as a form of murder. It stands as an abhorrent offense against the God of creation and remains a sacrificial offering to the evil spirits that plagued ancient civilizations.

 

This reality of abortion isn’t one that will be told by many. The dark forces of this world attempt to portray abortion as a fundamental right for women. They speak as if they are advocating for the people, ensuring everyone has a choice with “their body” In reality, this is a repulsive contortion of the truth.

 

“And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”

- 2 Corinthians 11:14

 

The Bible repeatedly shows the deceptive and cunning nature of our enemy, who is constantly trying to mislead and deceive us. This deceptive nature is particularly evident when discussing the topic of abortion. The most notorious entity involved in promoting and providing abortion services in America is the organization known as Planned Parenthood. It is important to note the deceptive nature that lies even in the name of this organization, as it creates the false perception that abortion is a beneficial and empowering choice that allows families to have control over their life decisions.

 

However, upon closer examination, we can see that this entity is nothing more than a wicked servant of the enemy, perpetuating a culture of death and destruction. Exploring the origins and history of Planned Parenthood further highlights the sinister motives and agenda behind this organization, revealing the extent of its deception and manipulation.

 

In 1916, a woman named Margaret Sanger founded the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. She initially started her career as an activist advocating for contraception. Sanger's motivation stemmed from her belief in women's reproductive rights and her desire to provide access to birth control methods.

 

However, it’s important to note that Sanger's beliefs were aligned with the philosophy of eugenics, a controversial ideology that aimed to improve the genetic quality of the human population through selective breeding and sterilization. Sanger believed in the concept of "positive eugenics," which promoted the idea of encouraging reproduction among individuals deemed to have desirable traits while discouraging reproduction among those considered undesirable. She advocated for birth control as a means to control the population and prevent the reproduction of those she deemed "unfit" or "undesirable."

 

And there was one group in particular that Sanger considered “undesirable”.

Black Americans.

 

In addition to being a prolific eugenicist, Margaret Sanger also sought out support from the Ku Klux Klan, in order to further her wicked agenda. In 1926, Sanger spoke at an event in Silverlake, New Jersey that was run by the KKK.

 

 

She recounted this event in her autobiography:

I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of Ku Klux Klan … I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses … I was escorted to the platform, introduced, and began to speak. In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose.

 

And this purpose, was to gather support for the extermination of Black America.

 

On June 25th, 1939, Sanger introduced the “Negro Project”, an initiative aimed at promoting abortion as a means of “birth control” specifically targeting the black populations in southern America. Sanger argued that African Americans were reproducing in a manner that was both careless and disastrous, and she sought to significantly reduce their birth rate. To achieve this objective, Sanger established numerous birth control centers, primarily located in the inner cities where she believed the "inferior races" and "human weeds", as she referred to them, resided. The goal of these centers was to distribute contraceptives and provide African Americans easy access to abortions.

 

In an effort to hide the true intentions of her project, Sanger sought the support of Black preachers and prominent figures. She has been quoted as saying, "We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population" and "the most effective educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal." These statements clearly reveal her plan to mask this sinister agenda as an act of philanthropy, supposedly for the benefit of its recipients. However, this was far from the truth, and its repercussions are still evident today.

 

African Americans, who make up just 14% of the total US population, unfortunately, face a disproportionately high rate of abortions, accounting for approximately 40% of all abortions in the country. These statistics reveal a deeply concerning trend within the black community, where for every 2 Black children are born, 1 will be aborted. This alarming rate of abortion within the black community is a matter of great concern. It is important to acknowledge that Planned Parenthood has been accused of strategically targeting areas with high minority populations which has further contributed to this distressing situation.

 

This shows the depraved mind of Margaret Sanger, and how Planned Parenthood is truly a servant of Satan. The organization's creation is a clear and calculated plot to convince the United States to willingly adopt Sanger’s wicked philosophy of eugenics.

 

Moreover, the act of shedding the blood of these innocent unborn children continues to glorify the same demonic forces of the past. These demons delight in the termination of innocent life, which is why they consider it a form of worship. However, in today's era, they have disguised themselves and attempted to conceal their presence and influence from the general public.

 

Nevertheless, there are even certain entities that openly and unabashedly express their agenda.

 

A wicked and corrupt “religious organization” known as The Satanic Temple has begun to advocate for the “pro-choice” agenda. They assert that ritual abortions are not only protected under religious freedom but also an integral part of their religious practices and beliefs.

 

 

The Satanic Temple believes that we are our own “godsand claim to promote individuality and freedom from outside control. They allege that they don’t truly worship Satan, but that they instead use him as a “mascot” or a symbol of rebellion and free will. However, we can see that these followers have been completely captured by Satan, and have pledged themselves to do his bidding, whether they believe he exists or not.

 

Since the reversal of Roe v. Wade on June 24, (the Supreme Court ruling that made abortion legal), The Satanic Temple has been pushing to have abortions recognized as a religious right, since constitutionally the government has to uphold religious freedoms. They have even opened their own online clinic, providing free screenings and medical abortion medicines to women.

 

This clinic is called the Samuel Alito's Mom Abortion Clinic, and it is an attempt to increase the availability of abortion to women. According to this demonic organization, “The Satanic Abortion Ritual is a destruction ritual that serves as a protective right.” The clinic instructs women step by step how to have a participate in the ritual, which they call a “decision that affirms your autonomy and free will.”

 

While the specific details of the ritual may vary, the general process described by the Satanic Temple involves the following steps:

  1. Preparation: The woman participating in the ritual is advised to find a private location where they can perform the ritual undisturbed.
  2. Invocation: The individual begins by reciting an invocation, which includes two tenants that declare rejection of any outside control or authority.
  3. Visualization: The person is encouraged to visualize their body and the termination of the pregnancy as an act of self-worship and personal empowerment.
  4. Personal Statement: The individual is instructed to look at their reflection in a mirror, and recite a personal statement, expressing their commitment to the ritual, as well as their commitment to their own autonomy and free will.
  5. Destruction: The person may symbolically destroy an item or representation associated with the pregnancy, such as a pregnancy test or ultrasound image. This act represents the destruction of the unborn child in the womb.
  6. Closing: After the death of the child, the woman concludes the ritual by returning to her reflection in the mirror, and reciting this closing statement:

 

By my body, my blood. By my will, it is done.”

 

And this statement is consistent with one of Satan’s biggest tactics: worship of self. By convincing us to reject God and put our own desires first, we are actively following in Satan’s footsteps, which to him is a form of worship.

 

Even if we don’t understand it’s worship.

 

Of course, the vast majority of women who terminate their pregnancies don’t understand the spiritual ramifications of their choice. However, that doesn’t change the outcome. Satan is still receiving the glory for these innocent sacrifices, just as he was from the sacrifices to Molech and Baal. We must understand that God desires his followers to trust and worship him wholeheartedly, while Satan doesn't even care if we believe in his existence. Satan's only desire is to pull us away from God and make us offer sacrifices to him, whether it be to idols made of metal or to ourselves. Either way, he receives the praise.

 

And in this way, specifically regarding abortion, Satan is receiving the exact same worship through the sacrifice of the unborn as he did from the sacrifices to the wicked "gods" of ancient times. Satan has always been and will always remain the same: wicked, deceitful, and full of hatred for God and mankind.

 

However, it is important to note that our loving God also remains unchanged. He is filled with love and mercy for his creation, and is ever ready to offer redemption to anyone, regardless of the crimes they may have committed against him. This understanding should not only be acknowledged but deeply embedded within our hearts. If you have sinned against God by making sacrifices to Satan, whether through actions such as abortion or any other sinful behavior, know that God is willing to extend his forgiveness to you.
