The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 159
God is outraged over all these occult activities that he calls an abomination. In ancient
Israel God commanded that the penalty for being a witchcraft, wizard or medium was death:
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. (Exodus 22:18)
A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit (a medium), or that is a
wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood
shall be upon them. (Leviticus 20:27)
In America these occult practices are legal but nevertheless God looks at these activities
the same way. God says that none that do these things shall inherit the kingdom of God. Before
you go casting stones he also includes many other common sins in America. These include:
adultery, fornication, envying and drunkenness among others:
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness,
revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in
time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
(Galatians 5:19-21)
God Forgives All
Just as Jesus died for the adulterer, fornicator, drunkard and those that envy, he also died
for those in the occult. Those who confess their sins, repent and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord
and Savior shall be saved and shall inherit eternal life. Our God is all loving, long suffering and
slow to anger. He says: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and
will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)
God Also Judges Sinners
Yet although our loving God is long suffering and slow to anger, there is a point at which
he says he will take no more and brings judgment on an individual or nation. King Saul sought
out the advice of a spirit medium rather than God and for this he was judged and God slew him.
So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the
LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for
asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired
not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the
son of Jesse. (1 Chronicles 10:13-14)
Israel also provoked God to anger because of her wickedness including her occult
