At first glance, the video below appears to be an ancient Assyrian parade and worship rally. In reality, Britain today is reverting back to their former Druid worship. It is hard to believe that Charles Haddon Spurgeon reigned supreme as prince of preachers in Victorian England 150 years ago. Make no mistake. Our nation is no different and right behind them. Even so, come Lord Jesus, Pastor Steve <><

Britain Opens Commonwealth Games With Baal-Like Worship of Raging, Fiery Bull
by Publisher | Aug 5, 2022
The judgment of God on people manifests in ways mysterious to us, but God is clear that those who persist in rebellion will eventually be given over to a great delusion, knowing not what they do but reveling in the hatred toward their own Creator.
The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. —2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
The international entertainment industry has its grip on the masses like no other industry in history. From Hollywood to worldwide professional sports, the industry is designed to turn people away from God as they indulge in sensory carnality that is pleasing to the flesh. Loud music, professional productions, an epic aroma overwhelm the senses of people producing a momentary pleasurable “high” that lasts until the next fix is needed.
That’s what makes the entertainment industry so powerful—it produces an addiction that thoroughly consumes people.
And Satan—and the Satanists around the world—have figured out how to harness the power of the entertainment industry to induce a form of worship to Baal and his minions. It’s just that it hasn’t been until recent decades that it has become so blatantly obvious to those paying attention that what is taking place isn’t just carnality, but the complete giving of themselves over to the devil.
Such is what has happened at the Commonwealth Games as the Games recently opened with massive applause and cheering to the grand entrance of a fiery bull eerily similar to that of what the prophets of Baal intended, but failed.
26 And they took the bull that was given them, and they prepared it and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no voice, and no one answered. And they limped around the altar that they had made. 27 And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.” 28 And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them. 29 And as midday passed, they raved on until the time of the offering of the oblation, but there was no voice. No one answered; no one paid attention. —1 Kings 18:26-29
Only now, as the masses stood by and cheered for the entrance of this 32-foot high bull to the courts of the nation’s most popular sports exhibition, Prince Charles opened the games by intentionally inducing an appearance of fire to the bull.
There can be no doubt that we’re nearing the promised end-times as once-great nations continue to turn their backs on God, churches and denominations apostatize, and we continue to see more and more of the people of this world devolve into moral decay.
Lord Jesus return soon!

Disturbing Symbolism As Commonwealth Games Recreate Worship Of Baal 
During the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England a giant mechanical bull with glowing red eyes was rolled out into the center of Alexander Stadium. The bull was approximately 10 meters high, dwarfing all of the human participants that were involved in the performance.
They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. During the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England on July 28th, a giant mechanical bull with glowing red eyes was rolled out into the center of Alexander Stadium. The bull was approximately 10 meters high, and it took more than five months to build. It had been given the nickname “Raging Bull”, and it absolutely dwarfed all of the human participants that were involved in the performance.
The “hero” of the opening ceremony, a character known as Stella, calmed the creature down and then all of the human performers gathered around the giant bull and literally began to bow down and worship it. I have seen a lot of really weird things in recent years, but I have never seen anything quite like this.
A total of 72 nations participate in the Commonwealth Games, and so this opening ceremony was being viewed on countless television screens all over the planet.
The symbolism in this “ritual” was well planned in advance, and the organizers knew exactly what they were doing.
But they were also counting on the fact that the vast majority of the general population would not consciously catch on to what was actually taking place.
The bull has always been a symbol of an ancient deity from the Middle East known as “Baal”. The following comes from Christianity.com…
In artistic depictions and archeological finds, Baal took the shape of a bull or ram and had associations with fertility.
This god also, apparently according to Canaanite lore, defeated El and had associations with the sun and thunder. And of all the foreign gods the Israelites came into contact with, they appeared to struggle the most with worshipping this one.
If we could go back thousands of years and roll out a giant bull with glowing red eyes for the people of the ancient Middle East, they would instantly understand what was going on.
Nobody would need to tell them that it was a statue of Baal and that they were intended to worship it.
An article that was posted on WorldHistory.org details the period of time in which the symbol of the bull first started to become associated with Baal…
Baal Hadad originated in Mesopotamia under the names Adad in the north and Iskur in the south. He is attested as early as the time of the Akkadian Empire (2334-2218 BC) but became more popular after the fall of the Third Dynasty of Ur (2047-1750 BC) during the First Babylonian Empire (c. 1894 to c. 1595 BC). Even so, at this time, he was not a major deity and was often associated with the storm god Ninurta as a subordinate or with the great god Enlil as a kind of personal secretary. It was during this time, however, that he came to be associated with the bull as his sacred animal, which would become a prominent aspect of his iconography later.
It is also interesting to note that the ancient deity known as “Moloch” or “Molech” was also often represented by a bull…
In addition to sexual rituals, Moloch worship included child sacrifice, or “passing children through the fire.” It is believed that idols of Moloch were giant metal statues of a man with a bull’s head. Each image had a hole in the abdomen and possibly outstretched forearms that made a kind of ramp to the hole. A fire was lit in or around the statue. Babies were placed in the statue’s arms or in the hole. When a couple sacrificed their firstborn, they believed that Moloch would ensure financial prosperity for the family and future children.
It was being reported that music from Black Sabbath was being played as the colossal beast was being brought out.
It would have been bad enough if they would have stopped there but all of the human performers gather around the bull and literally start bowing down to it…
Are you kidding me?
Why do they have to perform some sort of incredibly bizarre ritual in which they bow down to the beast?
We are obviously meant to understand that the performers are worshipping the bull.
If people from the ancient Middle East were to watch this spectacle, they would immediately identify it as Baal worship.
After the bull is calmed down, at one point three women are lifted up to ride on top of the bull.
When I saw this, I instantly thought of a passage from Revelation chapter 17…
3 Then he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filth of her sexual immorality. 5 On her forehead a name was written:
MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.
When I saw her, I marveled greatly.
It has also been announced that this giant bull will have a permanent place in Birmingham once the games are over.
The elite love to use opening ceremonies, awards shows and other public spectacles to mentally and emotionally condition us.
And when they pull stunts like this, they know that only a very small fraction of the general population will ever object.
We live in very strange times, and I believe that they are only going to get weirder.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of the population is still dead asleep.
They have no idea what the elite are doing, even though it is happening right in front of their eyes.
