Today’s Focus: Worshipping Angels: The Impact of the Entertainment Industry
Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:1,2; Hebrews 13:2; Daniel 10:12,13 and 20,21;
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
I pray you pay close attention because some of us has this forbidden practice in our very homes. Remember, Satan has come to steal, kill and destroy and nothing about him and his followers say God. Let’s look at the scripture and then get to some examples:
1 Timothy 4:1,2: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times (that is now), some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Satan is known as the prince and the power of the air. He sets atmospheres and through those atmospheres he sets opportunities for him to be exalted and worshipped. Satan is also known as Beelzebub or Baalzebub meaning “lord of things that fly”. What are the things that fly? The fallen spirits. How is the entertainment industry doing this and why do we not see it? First it is because they are perverting the Word of God and because we fail to study and have a relationship with God our discernment to these issues is diminished and compromised. Let’s look at an example:
The Prince of Persia
Now it was so funny that people jumped all over me and told me that the prince of Persia was a video game and that is where they got the movie from. But did anyone ask where they got the video game that all of the kids wanted, where did they get the whole notion for it. The Bible! But check this out, they perverted the scripture to make the Prince of Persia a good guy but let’s see what the Bible, The Word of God says about the Prince of Persia.
Daniel 10:12,13 then 20,21: “Then said he (Gabriel the Angel) unto me, Fear not Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. BUT THE PRINCE OF THE KINGDOM OF PERSIA WITHSTOOD ME (GABRIEL) ONE AND TWENTY DAYS: BUT LO MICHAEL ONE OF THE CHIEF PRINCES, CAME TO HELP ME; AND I REMAINED THERE WITH THE KINGS OF PERSIA. 20- Then said he, knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? And now will I return to FIGHT WITH THE PRINCE OF PERSIA: AND WHEN I AM GONE FORTH, LO THE PRINCE OF GRECIA (GREECE) SHALL COME. BUT I WILL SHEW THEE THAT WHICH IS NOTED IN THE SCRIPTURE OF TRUTH: AND THERE IS NONE THAT HOLDETH WITH ME IN THESE THINGS BUT MICHAEL YOUR PRINCE!
So in actuality the Prince of Persia was a fallen evil angel because he tried to stop Gabriel from getting to Daniel and of course Michael came who is the chief of the Warring Angels of God to assist Gabriel. Now what Hollywood did was pervert this story and make the prince of Persia a good guy and remember throughout scripture we see angels and when they are described by the people who see them, many say they look just like men. So this is why the scripture:
Hebrews 13:2: “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares”
We need to be ever careful about the things we watch and understand that these demons want to be worshipped and in control and what they do is dilute the truth by indoctrinating the children on any level, including movies and video games. This is why we must study the Word so we can discern the move of the enemy.
I did not intend to stay on this one example but we must tell it the way God wants it explained. In the next message we will continue to look at another example from the entertainment industry.
