ASLAN THE PAGAN LION SOLAR DEITY Is the modern Christian church handing its children over to the Antichrist system on a silver platter? First, let’s settle exactly who is Aslan the lion, the supposed Christ like personality in C. S. Lewis’ books and Disney Movies, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and the coming movie Prince Caspian. Aslan is not the Lion of the tribe of Judah, we know as Jesus Christ. According the Dictionary of Mythology, Folklore, and Symbols by Gertrude Jobs, the sun is “The active or male principle in nature, wanderer, lion, gold, symbolized by the bow and arrow.” 1 J. E. Cirlot’s definition of Apollo is so interesting. “Apollo in mythology and alchemy, his spiritual and symbolic significance is identical with that of the sun. The spreading golden hairs which crown the god’s head have the same meaning as the bow and arrow (Sun rays). The Greek name for Apollo is Apollon, which means ‘from the depths of the lion” and expresses the meaningful relationship of the sun with the fifth sign of the Zodiac, Leo.” 2 It’s shocking to see Christians so willingly turning to a fake lion god which in witchcraft is far more associated with the god, Apollon than Jesus Christ. What does the Bible say about this figure? We see in (Rev 9:1), “And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the Page -1-
bottomless pit.” This denotes a leader, a military chieftain, a warrior. In the fulfillment of this, we look for the appearance of some mighty prince and warrior, to whom is given power, as it were, to open the bottomless pit, and to summon forth its legions.3 “And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.” (Rev 9:11). From the Greek word apollumi "to destroy." The word properly denotes "a destroyer," and the name is given to this king of the hosts, represented by the locusts, because this would be his principal characteristic. 4 And then he is identified the “beast” from the bottomless pit in (Rev 11:7). “And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.” This may be what is called Antichrist; some power that is opposed to genuine Christianity. 5 Then we see in, (Rev 17:8), “The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.” This spirit called Apollon is none other than Satan himself. He chained by the Angels of God in (Rev. 20:1). And then in (Rev 20:3), “And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.” In The Chronicles, to me, the most offensive thing was to see children bowing and worshiping this beast- animal they are calling Aslan. STORY LINE The “White Witch” has bound the land of Narnia in perpetual winter which can only be broken by the coming of the lion, Aslan, the SOLAR DEITY in the spring. The story line is that a goddess (the white witch) kills the sun god (the lion) on midsummers night and thus winter comes. When the sun stays up longer on the midwinter solstice (commonly celebrated under the disguise of “Christmas” he has triumphed and conquered death, thus bringing spring. Page -2-
Sun worship was one of the main abominations to the Lord practiced in Bible times. (See Ezek. 8:15). It has continued throughout the ages to this very time. That Lewis would write stories for children to indoctrinate them in this revolting religion is bad enough, but that those stories should be passed off as an allegory of the gospel of Jesus Christ is a horrible blasphemy beyond description! C. S. Lewis was an expert in mythology having studied it from an early age. It is utterly impossible that he did not know what he was writing! 6 (Isa 60:2), “For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.” Jesus is coming soon! DEMONS, MAGIC AND MYSTICISM It may be true that some Christians do not know that they are supporting witchcraft. Many have believed that by ignoring the Devil will make him disappear. The biggest problem in the Western Church is that they do not take the powers of witchcraft seriously. They generally believe that it is not real or just fantasy and make belief. Others believe that if witches and wizards were real with demonic powers, it could not have any affect upon them because they are Christians. Actually, they are right. Witchcraft can only have power over a Christian only if he or she has open doors. These are doors of sin in their lives or doorways of stepping onto Satan’s territory. Witchcraft is Satan’s territory. He is the motivation behind fantasy books and movies. It is dangerous to take your children to fantasy movies with occult based stories and demonic figures such as, C. S. Lewis’ occultic based books and Disney Movies, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Through these demonically inspired movies, Satan will use your curiosity to bring demons into you, your children and your homes. The Bible makes it clear in both the Old and New Testaments that occult practices are an abomination to the Lord. (Deut. 18:10-12), “There shall not be found among you any . . . that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD.” Another scripture passage that points out just how seriously God views the occult and wizardry is (Acts 13:10), The Apostle Paul indicts Elymas the sorcerer with these words, “O full of all subtlety (deceit) and all mischief (maliciousness), thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?” Page -3-
The fact is, we should not mimic things that are an abomination to the Lord. No one should even pretend to be a child of the devil, an enemy of righteousness. When they do, they pervert the acceptable ways of the Lord! MAGICAL SPELL The writer of children fantasy stories C. S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia has managed to cast a strong magical spell over the minds of many Christians that through his pagan/witchy writings have survived his death. He is dead but every person will rush to defend his demonic books “because he is a great Christian and an icon in literary circles.” His books are temples of religion. His teachings are instruction in mysterious arcane religion, and not even close to Christianity. His books on the Chronicles of Narnia contains such power and demonic teaching, it is more than enough to give the ideology and driving force needed to lead the world astray and to keep such an evil conspiracy alive through the centuries. His arcane teachings will impact the minds of millions children throughout their lives. Regrettably few Christian leaders have the courage to even mention his occult works as evil, let alone to expose them. Hardly anyone wants to remove the covering from his heathenish-occultic ideas. Even though millions of children’s spiritual wellbeing are jeopardized, Christians’ still rise to strongly defend his radical ideas of promotion of mythological fantasy figures which many worship as pagan gods and goddesses. One preacher told a friend of mine, “I believe Pat Holliday’s articles are true. However, I advise you not to get involved with this exposure of C. S. Lewis is an Icon to the Christian Community. Best thing to do, is just ignore it. No one will believe you anyway.” Although, it’s a supreme work of darkness, and Ephesians 5:11 commands us to unmask darkness. These modern spiritually blinded preachers preach the gospel of Disney’s The Chronicles of Narnia to the Children will destroy the church and Christian lives. These magical founded movies will darken and bind their minds, leading them into eternal wickedness. If Church leadership continues to promote darkness instead of the true light, Jesus Christ, the churches will become empty. Cold, vacated buildings will stand empty as a testimony against these serious errors. Jesus said, “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch,” (Matt 15:14). Where are the Martin Luthers in our Church today? Charles Spurgeon writes, “The kisses of an enemy are deceitful." Let me be on my guard when the world puts on a loving face, for it will, if possible, betray me as it did my Master, with a kiss. Whenever a man is about to stab religion, he usually professes Page -4-
very great reverence for it. Let me beware of the sleek-faced hypocrisy which is the armorbearer to heresy and infidelity. Knowing the deceivableness of unrighteousness, let me be wise as a serpent to detect and avoid the designs of the enemy. The young man, void of understanding, was led astray by the kiss of the strange woman: may my soul be so graciously instructed all this day, that "the much fair speech" of the world may have no effect upon me. Holy Spirit, let me not, a poor frail son of man, be betrayed with a kiss!” FORMER WITCH HAS EYES TO SEE Pastor David Meyers, a former witch, astrologer, and occultist who has been saved by the grace of God, warns Christians of the dangers of the C. S. Lewis’ occultic based books and Disney Movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. “I know that the works of C. S. Lewis are required reading by neophyte witches, especially in the United States and England. This includes The Chronicles of Narnia, because it teaches neophyte, or new witches, the basic mindset of the craft. Isn’t it strange, though, that many “Christian” churches and organizations have used The Chronicles of Narnia as Sunday School curriculum?” Pastor Meyers knows how wizards-witches think and what moves their ritualisms. He goes on to illustrate significance of the spells attached to its release. “When I saw the release date of this new movie, I was not surprised. December 9th is the 13th day before the witches’ quarter-sabat of Yule. The full cold moon is midway between the release date and the sabat of Yule. The waxing moon is also directly on the equinox on the release date of the movie. This is far too precisely occultic to be coincidental, and the producers of the movie no doubt consulted upper-level witches regarding the perfect day to have the “Chronicles of Narnia” open.” 7 BONANZA FOR SATAN’S SOUL STEALING PROGRAM Of course, the entire witchcraft world will be praying in unity for the success of this deceptive movie. Christians are not praying. They are tragically going to this abomination and willingly worshiping at the altars of the witches. This “Chronicles of Narnia” has been a bonanza for the Devil’s end time program. Even if Christian leaders believe that Lewis is a Christian, they seem to overlook his unorthodox ideas being sold by Disney’s the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Why are leading Christians so spiritually blinded concerning this important issue? The Bible tells us, “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and Page -5-
doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron,” (1 Tim 4:1-2). MAGICALLY TRANSFORMED CHILDREN Berit Kjos, a knowledgeable person who exposes the occult says, “All these stories and Disney’s The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Time Warner’s Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter movies, involve wizards, spells, mythical creatures and magical charms. Both Lewis and Tolkien demonstrate the battle between a mythical good and evil. Both pit heroic white magic against dark menacing occultism.”8 Witches call this white witchcraft or black witchcraft. We know that all witchcraft is from the Devil. Jesus said in (Matt 12:33), “Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.” Going to these fantasy movies opens the door for demons to come in. A lady told me that she wanted to take her retarded son to see this movie. He said, “Mom, I don’t think we should go to this movie. Look at all these demons in this movie.” He pointed to the advertisement pictures. If a retarded boy can see these things, why can’t Christian leaders see? Another Christian child is now seeing supernatural beings in her room. Believe me. It is going to get worse. When the author’s daughter was young, I never brought these books home for her to read. After she started to school, she had to read them and do book reports. I believe this was the situation in most school systems. When a person opens their mind and spirits to things that are ungodly, an evil spirit comes in. The evil spirit becomes a gatekeeper to that person’s mind. It blinds them for seeing truth. It guards and direct’s their mind to receive what it wants them to believe. Could many of these willing Christians who are supporting Disney’s invasion of Christian Children’s souls, been picked up when these adult Christians were children? We are all going to answer to God for what we preach to God’s people. “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables,” (2 Tim 4:3-4). Christian ministers’ are sent by God to preach the gospel and Jesus. Jesus is suppose to be the center of the gospel. His blood sacrifice is the only way back to God, the Father. The movies and books, Disney’s The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Page -6-
Witch and the Wardrobe and Time Warner’s Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter movies) defiles and corrupts the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This non-Christian movie is completely engrossed in infidel mythological beings gods and goddess’ worship that are actually demons. This darkness will cover the minds of innocent little children. Yet, in our time, Christian preachers are pointing our children to a fictional lion called, Aslan to replace Jesus. In "The Chronicles” Lewis depicts his analogue of Jesus Christ as a lion named Aslan who is slain on a stone table. The real Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world. He was not sacrificed on a stone altar. The stone altar sacrifice is the manner that Satanists’ sacrifice their animals to their god Satan. Aslan is ritually sacrificed by the witch and the mice came to chew away the ropes that tied Aslan to the stone table. As the witch kills the lion (Sun), she calls him “Fool.” The rebirth or resurrection comes at dawn. Lewis strongly emphasizes the sun rising in the “East.” Sun rising is significant in that the sunrise is viewed as the sun’s resurrection in the myth. That is Lewis is telling the tale of sun’s daily death and resurrection in careful but hidden (to the uninitiated) detail. To the followers of sun worship, this is all very easy to see. Mice were used here is significant as well. Mice were sacred to Apollo, the sun. A young girl, ten-years-old told me, “My mom took me to see The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. You are wrong. There is nothing about witchcraft in it. Aslan, the Lion is Jesus. He was sacrificed on an altar. I liked the movie. My mom bought me a faun toy and I love it. I love my dragon toys too.” I led this child to Jesus. Though she was raised in a Pentecostal church, she had never been led to Jesus. She said, “I’m going home and I’m getting rid of my dragon collection.” No one told this child to do that. It was after her born again experience with the real Jesus that her eyes were open up by Jesus to spiritually see. CHRISTIANS ARE SELLING DISNEY IDOLS AND MASTER REPLICAS Do not be deceived. These books are written for the purpose of misrepresentation of the Godhood and the blood sacrifice of the real Jesus. The selling of these pagan items will be treated by Jesus as blood money that is no better than Judas selling out Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. It’s a blatant sell out of the gospel and will bring curses on those who raise money for their “ministries” from these demonic articles. The Satanic captured souls of children will stand before the throne of Jesus and testify against this evil action. Jesus will say to these blinded ministers, “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity,” (Matt Page -7-
7:23). This is an e-mail that I received from another deliverance minister. I received your e-mail this morning "Learn how you can get The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe when you sponsor a child. " I am currently sponsoring a child through W orld Vision . . . I was disappointed in W orld Vision for endorsing this m ovie and offering it free for sponsoring a child . . . My concerns can best be described by reading the e-m ails below from Dr. Pat Holliday. I have been involved in deliverance m inistry for several years and have personally seen people delivered from various dem on spirits received from m ovies, new age, etc. I pray right now that God will rem ove the veil from your eyes and give you wisdom as you read the attached inform ation so that you are not deceived and that you are not responsible in God's eyes for putting these DVD's into the hands of our children.

Look at this in an advertisement by CBN for the purpose selling Master Replicas from this demonic movie. “It is interesting to note that besides Peter’s sword, the only other full scale replica is of the White Witch’s wand, which of all the weapons is perhaps the most prominent, or at least the most often brought into play. She wields the wand repeatedly, and uses it mercilessly in the final battle until her confrontation with a redeemed Edmund.” (Emphasis mine). The CBN ad goes on to say, “It is also noteworthy that Edmund is the only Son of Adam or Daughter of Eve not to receive a Christmas gift. But in essence, he receives the greatest gift of all, Aslan’s Christ- like sacrifice for his sins, and the Great Lion’s forgiveness – gifts which are rather difficult to scale down for display in a collector’s keepsake box.” (Emphasis mine). CBN ad says, “When the other children woke up next morning (they had been sleeping on piles of cushions in the pavilion) the first thing they heard – from Mrs. Beaver – was that their brother had been rescued and brought into camp late last night, and was at that moment with Aslan. As soon as they had breakfasted they all went out, and there they saw Aslan and Edmond walking together in the dewy grass, apart from the rest of the court. There is no need to tell you (and no one ever heard) what Aslan was saying, but it was a conversation which Edmund never forgot.” So according to CBN, which is Pat Robertson’s “Christian Broadcasting Network, “Edmund received the greatest gift of all, Aslan’s Christ-like sacrifice for his sin and the Great Lion’s forgiveness.” Page -8-
Then this “Christian ministry,” boldly goes on to quote the Bible saying, “Whatever your personal circumstances, Christ wants to have a conversation, and a relationship, with you. ‘Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne,” (Rev. 3:20-21). (Talking about a mixture). From the pit of hell, CBN goes on to place this fake lion on the same level as Jesus. They shamelessly write in their ad, “Just as Aslan came to the Pevensie children in Narnia, Christ stands at the door and knocks. Will you open the door and invite him in?” If this does not bring a spirit of confusion to the children, nothing will! The CBN ad says: “Learn how you can open the door to Christ in your life. View the Narnia gifts at Master Replicas. More from CBN.com Narnia special section.” May God help the Children. Most Christians that have seen this deceptive movie, rant and rave over the bewitching - illusory Disney movie. “It’s great and I love Aslan who is Jesus.” THE DEMONIC TSUNAMIS OVER THE CHURCH I believe these movies are great tsunamis over the minds of Christians and their children. Where are the defenders of the children and the Christian faith? Why are people paralyzed concerning the true Christian faith and opening the door for the infidels that are sacrificing their children to a false Jesus, false doctrine and turning them to another spirit? When Deborah the leader and Judge of Israel, won the Battle, Jesus cursed Meroz. “Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty,” (Judg. 5:23). ALCOHOLIC AND SEXUAL IMAGES These demonic articles that are being sold of the images of Aslan the Lion, Pan the Satyr, (a figure worshiped witches and Satanist or the forest demons of sexual perversions) are idols. The alcoholic demons are images of Dionysus (Bacchus), Silenus and the Maenads. The phallus(penis) was a prominent symbol in Dionysus' rituals and was carried in processions in his honor. One of the oldest known prayerPage -9-
hymns is one used by the followers of Dionysus and is addressed to the genitals which gives room for speculation regarding sodomy since Hermes was associated with such. His followers included fertility spirits, such as satyrs (half men and goats). He was said to have the "gift" of a prophecy and was given a position at that wretched shrine of Delphi only slightly lower than that of Apollo. He often took animal forms and, interestingly enough, was associated with the lion, among others. C. S. Lewis writes about "Bacchus and the Maenads --- his fierce, madcap girls (The word madcap means “daredevil, hot-tempered, hot-tempered, etc. obstreperous In the Encyclopedia Britainnica (1963 and 1974 editions) Dionysus is described "in Greek cult and mythology, a nature god of fruitfulness and vegetation, but tending to specialize as a god of wine . . . The alternative names Bacchus (Bacchos . . . ); Sabazuis and Bassareus are Thracian." He was also called Bromios. 9 CLANDESTINE OCCULT MYSTICISM Religious mysticism has taken over many parts of the church of Jesus Christ through spiritually blinded leaders. This new faith is based on the imagination of men. The Bible says, “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ,” (2 Cor. 10:5). We are supposed to worship God in the “spirit of truth.” The manifest ion of God’s presence is in His Word and Jesus, not in the wicked imagination of Disney. “Who do men say that I am?” asked Jesus. Will our children answer, Aslan, the Lion?” Pastor Meyers, writes: “The story of the Narnian Chronicle known as The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is one of clandestine occult mysticism and is not Sunday School material unless your Sunday School is a defacto witch coven. The story involves a child from the normal every day or mundane world. This girl, Lucy, who hides in a wardrobe as she is playing a game, suddenly finds herself transported to another world very unlike her own. It is a world of intelligent, talking animals and strange creatures. The little girl soon finds herself having tea with a faun. In witchcraft and ancient Roman pagan mythology, a faun is any of a group of rural deities, which have the bodies of men and the horns, ears, tails, and legs of a goat. The Roman god Faunus was also the god of nature and fertility and was connected to sexual lust. Here let it be noted that in the Narnian Chronicle Prince Caspian, this same strange land the little girl finds herself in is also populated by gods and goddesses; such as Bacchus, the god of drunken orgies, and the Maenads, who were frenzied women driven to madness in the orgiastic cult of Bacchus.” 10 Page -10-
Aside from teaching your children a false gospel of making Aslan the Lion a type of Jesus and bringing these figures of the gods of sexual perversion and wine will attract these very evil spirits to your children, in turn, these evil spirits will drive your children into later lifestyles that they will become alcoholics and sexual deviants. When a devil is invited in, he must be kicked out. Pastor David Meyers, former witch goes to notify the church of danger of the Chronicles of Narnia, The main character of the book is a lion named Aslan, which is the Turkish word for lion. Aslan the lion is the character that (some) “Christian” teachers say is the Christ figure, but witches know him to be Lucifer. The lion, Aslan, appears in all seven of the books of The Chronicles of Narnia. The following are quotes regarding Aslan the lion: Remember, Aslan the lion is esteemed to be the “Christ figure” by so many “Christian” teachers, but with that in mind, consider the following quotes from The Chronicles of Narnia. The Chronicle book says, “The crowd dance round Aslan (for it had become a dance once more) grew so thick and rapid that Lucy was confused. She never saw where certain other people came from who were soon capering among the trees. One was a youth, dressed only in a fawn skin, with vine leaves wreathed in his curly hair. His face would have been almost too pretty for a boy’s, if it had not looked so extremely wild. You felt, as Edmund said when he saw him a few days later, ‘There’s a chap who might do anything, absolutely anything.’ He seemed to have a great many names. Bromios, Bassareus, and the Ram were three of them. There were a lot of girls with him, as wild as he. There was even, unexpectedly, someone on a donkey. And everybody was laughing: and everyone was shouting out, ‘EUAN, EUAN, EU-oi-oioi.’” 11 Pastor Meyers explains, “Those strange words EUAN, EUAN, EU-oi-oi-oi are an ancient witches’ chant used to invoke the power and presence of the god of drunkenness and addiction, who is named Bacchus.” But wait, as the story goes on says Pastor Meyers, it gets worse as the witchcraft increases and becomes more obvious. Consider the following from C. S. Lewis writes, “Aslan makes a door in the air,” brings in the subject of witchcraft. This is opening a supernatural portal (doorway) into the fantasy world of the demonic. ‘What is it Aslan?’ said Lucy, her eyes dancing and her feet wanting to dance. ‘Come children’, said he. ‘Ride on my back today.’ ‘Oh lovely!’ cried Lucy, and both Page -11-
girls climbed onto the warm golden back as they had done no one knew how many years before. Then the whole party moved off – Aslan leading. Bacchus (lord of wine) and his Maenads (wild women) leaping, rushing and turning somersaults, the beasts brushing round them, and Silenus and his donkey bringing up the rear… Then three or four Red Dwarfs (forest demons) came forward with their tinder boxes and set light to the pile, which first crackled, and then blazed, and finally roared as a woodland bonfire on midsummer night ought to do. And everyone sat down in a wide circle around it. Then Bacchus and Silenus and the Maenads began a dance, far wilder than the dance of the trees, not merely a dance for fun and beauty (though it was that too), but a magic dance of plenty, and where their hands touched, and where their feet fell, the feast came into existence. Sides of roasted meat that filled the grove with delicious smell, and wheaten cakes and oaten cakes… pyramids and cataracts of fruit. Then, in great wooden cups and bowls and mazers, wreathed with ivy, came the wines; dark, thick ones like syrup of mulberry juice, and clear red ones like red jellies liquified, and yellow wines and green wines and yellowy-green and greenish-yellow.” 12 Here we have the Lewis’ idea of a supposedly Christ-like figure that he calls Aslan, leading children to summer solstice. This midsummer night is the night for the sun-god’s death and temporary descent into hell. This is high a day of sun worship. This comes from burning of the bones from the sacrifices in the bone fire on the summer solstice. It is a sabbat of witchcraft as the marriage of the death goddess or moon goddess to the sun god dies and is sent for his yearly visit to hell. On December 25th he will be reborn. The entire scene, with the Red Dwarfs (known as forest demons in witchcraft) and a Bacchus orgy, is a mixture of a typical English pagan/Wiccan midsummer night celebration and a Bacchus (god of wine) orgy. ! ! ! ! !
Midsummer night is the night for the sun-god’s death and temporary descent into hell so Lewis has the Red Dwarfs light the fire. (Red Dwarfs are demons from the lower regions of hell). Everyone sits in a circle. This is a powerful witchcraft symbol. The wild, magic dance of plenty. Those of “the Craft” are famous for their magic dances. Woodland bonfire, a high day of sun worship. The burning of the bones from sacrifices in the bonfire (bone-fire) on the summer solstice. Summer Solstice. A Sabbat of witchcraft marriage of the death goddess or moon goddess to the sun god. Page -12-
! !
Pomegranates are a symbol of fertility and according to the Greeks sprang from the blood of Dionysus. 13 The fruit is stacked in a pyramid. A powerful witchcraft, Luciferian, Illuminatic symbol.
Pastor Meyers, shows us the implications of this demonic revelry. “The above is clearly a description of a witch’s sabat of Midsummer or the Summer Solstice, and it is described as such in perfect detail. Certainly by now enough is known to denounce this work as satanic and Antichrist.” 14 This is then the supposedly Jesus Christ-like figure leading a Satanic orgy of the wine god Bacchus! This is absolute blasphemy! The real identity of Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia is actually the sun god. NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN In the Bible, some of these false religions, it is claimed, had a set of practices which were prohibited under Jewish law, such as sex rites, cultic male and female prostitution, and passing a child through a fire to Molech, and child sacrifice. This what is happening to Christian children. They are sacrificing their children to the spirit of Molech by introducing them to a false Christ. Children are being exposed daily to demonology. In a popular TV show, the heroine calls upon spirits, spells, and magic to defeat ferocious demonic beings. In another show, teen-age witches use their white magic to defeat evil warlocks and monestrous spirits. Such popular shows deal with the world of witchcraft. The occult has flourished since the beginning of civilization. Throughout the Old and New Testaments, the prophets of God confronted the problem of the occult. Today, our leaders are turning an entire generation to the powers of the occult. 15 IDOLATRY Aslan is not even a real lion. He was made by the computer. He is an idol. Idolatry is the worship of an image, idea or object, as opposed to the worship of a supreme being. It is forbidden by some major religions such as the Abrahamic religions. Some religious authorities and groups have used the term to describe other religions apart from their own. WHAT IS IDOLATRY AND DEMONOLOGY? There is no one section that clearly defines idolatry; rather there are a number of Page -13-
commandments on this subject spread through the books of the Hebrew Bible, some of which were written in different historical eras, in response to different issues. Taking these verses together, idolatry in the Hebrew Bible is defined as either: the worship of idols (or images) the worship of polytheistic gods by use of idols (or images) the worship of animals or people the use of idols in the worship of God. Behind every idol is a demon. These demons have power over the person that has them. If one buys the Narnia idols for her/his children, these demons will control the minds and lives of the children. The Bible says, “Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen,” (1 Jn. 5:21). These demons from the idols of Narnia will become the reapers of the children’s souls. The Bible has many terms for idolatry, and their usage represents the horror with which they filled the writers of the Bible [Adherents of Jewish faith maintain that the Torah is the literal and eternally binding word of G-d]. Thus idols are stigmatized "non-God" (Deut. 32:17, 21; Jer. 2:11, "things of naught" (Lev. 19:4) et passim, "vanity" (Deut. 32), "iniquity" (1 Sam. 15:23), "wind and confusion" (Isa. 41:29), "the dead" (Ps. 106:28), "carcasses" (Lev. 26:30; Jer. 16:18), "a lie" (Isa. 44:20), et passim, and similar epithets. Pagan idols are described as made of gold, silver, wood, and stone. They are described as only the work of men's hands, unable to speak, see, hear, smell, eat, grasp, or feel, and powerless either to injure or to benefit. Idolatry and witchcraft are signs of the end times. (Rev 9:20-21), “And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.” Idols were either designated in Hebrew by a term of general significance, or named according to their material or the manner in which they were made. They said to have been being placed upon pedestals, and fastened with chains of silver or nails of iron lest they should fall over or be carried off, (Isa. 40:19, 41:7; Jer. 10:14), and they were also clothed and colored, (Jer. 10:9; Ezek. 16:18).

At first the gods and their images were conceived of as identical; but in later times a distinction was drawn between the god and the image. Nevertheless it was customary to take away the gods of the vanquished, (Isa. 10:10-11, 36:19, 46:1; Jer. 48:7, 49:3; Hosea 10:5; Dan. 11:8), and a similar custom is frequently mentioned in the cuneiform texts. 16 Jesus said the Devil is "a liar and the father of lies." (Jn. 8:44) In dealing with the demonic, you cannot expect them to deal in truth. The Devil and his legion only seek to "steal, kill, and destroy." (Jn. 10:10) For this reason, (Deut. 18), labels the practices of witchcraft, sorcery, divination, and necromancy as detestable to the Lord. These practices brought judgment on the Canaanites and expelled them from the land. God did not want such teachings to infiltrate any culture. The church must not only present the danger of the occult, but the message of life and victory found in Jesus Christ over the principalities of darkness. IF YOU STILL DOUBT C. S. LEWIS’ BLASPHEMY Aside from trusting an atheistic company, Disney to educate our children about Jesus Christ, look at C. S. Lewis’ blasphemy concerning the real Jesus Christ. A former witch, Meyer writes, “Was Clive Staples Lewis a Christian or a blasphemer? In his book The World’s Last Night and Other Essays on pages 98-99, Lewis said, ‘assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place … certainly the most embarrassing verse in the Bible. The one exhibition of error and the one confession of ignorance grow side by side. That they stood thus in the mouth of Jesus himself and were not merely placed thus by the reporter, we surely need not doubt … The facts, then, are these: that Jesus professed himself (in some sense) ignorant, and within a moment showed that he really was so.” 17 This great Christian icon, C. S. Lewis calls Jesus ignorant! And some of you get mad at me because I am exposing him and telling you the truth. Someone is lying to you and you better find out who is telling the truth. According to Lewis’ writings, he admits praying and worshiping the sun god, Apollo the Healer. Look at what Lewis said in Reflections on the Psalms, page 129, “… as I believe, Christ … fulfilled both paganism and Judaism.” Lewis was also quoted in a biography as follows: “I had some ado to prevent joy and myself from relapsing into paganism in Attica! At Daphni it was hard not to pray to Apollo the Page -15-
Healer. But somehow one didn’t feel it would have been very wrong – would have only been addressing Christ subspecies Apollinis.” 18 Lewis has showed us plainly who his master really is and it is not the Lord Jesus Christ! It is a serious offence to demote Christ or to reject Him as He has revealed Himself in scripture. (Ps. 2:11), “ Serve the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.” Despite this warning, false teachers proudly demote Jesus Christ. This in itself is bad enough, but as we have seen, they take it a step farther. They belittle and invalidate the cross as they deny that it is our way of redemption. The Bible has this to say about the cross in (1 Cor. 1:18), “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” Look at (Col. 3), “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, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” How were our sins taken out of the way? Look now at (Col. 1: 21) “And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled. 22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight.” According to this passage, did Jesus sacrifice His body or His spirit to reconcile us? We were reconciled from our wicked works in the body of His flesh through death. (Rom. 10:9), says, “if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” The Bible says that you must believe that Jesus was raised from the dead. (Rom. 8:3) tells us that Jesus Christ condemned sin in the flesh. (1 Pet. 3), says, “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.” FALLING AWAY
The Apostle Paul warns of the spread of heresy from the Christian faith. The word Apostasy conveys the particular idea of falling away, a withdrawal, a defection from the faith. Paul goes on to say in the scriptures, “Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,” (I Thess. 2:3). The Bible shows in (II Thess. 2) the last days that a spirit of “strong delusion” will overtake the whole world. Have Page -16-
you noticed that “another Jesus, another Gospel,” is being preached everywhere? OPEN OUR EYES — WE WANT TO SEE JESUS Those who have followed the leadership of men whose minds have been darkened by the powers of the god of this world, must repent. (2 Cor. 4:4), “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” Many have been awaiting for the Lord to return. Will you be absent when He comes back for His bride without spot or wrinkle? (Rev 22:17). “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Receiving the gospel of Narnia by Disney will surely send you straight to hell. “ For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them, But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear,” (Matt. 13:15-16). Pastor Meyers gives this prayer for the Church of Jesus Christ. “In closing this urgent message, I pray that our true and dear Lord Jesus Christ will have mercy on the deceived and sleeping remnant, and that they will come fully awake and rise up against this subtle attack of Satan. The apostle Paul warned us in (II Cor. 11:14-15), as follows: “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” May God help us all, and may he especially protect our children from witchcraft in the churches is my prayer.”19 If you and your children have been exposed to Disney’s The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe , you need to repent and ask Jesus to open your eyes that you can see. You have to be delivered. You must be delivered from this demonic movie and get these demonic images out of your homes. God is merciful. "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved," (Acts 4:12). (Matt. 15:18-19), “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.” If you have information that Clive Staples Lewis ever made a dedication of his Page -17-
life to Jesus Christ, not God, but Jesus Christ, I’d like to hear it. Write me. Etymology The word idolatry comes (by haplology) from the Greek word eidololatria, a compound of eidolon, "image" or "figure,” and latreia, "worship.” Although the Greek appears to be a loan translation of the Hebrew phrase avodat elilim, which is attested in rabbinic literature (e.g., bChul., 13b, Bar.), the Greek term itself is not found in the Septuagint, Philo, Josephus, or in other Hellenistic Jewish writings. It is also not found in Greek pagan literature. In the New Testament, the Greek word is found only in the letters of Paul, 1 Peter, and Revelation, where it has a derogatory meaning. Hebrew terms for idiolatry include avodah zarah (foreign worship) and avodat kochavim umazalot (worship of planets and constellations).
