Occultism comes from the Latin word occultus and refers to something that is dark, secret and hidden. The biblical term for occultism is idolatry. Occultism is spirituality, but extremely negative and harmful spirituality in which the help of evil forces is sought. It brings dire consequences for all those who practice the occult, for all those who seek help from those who practice the occult, and for the people when the occult is practiced by their rulers.
There are five groups of people involved in occult practices. The first group of people are high-ranking members of secret societies and some rulers who appoint other corrupt and blackmailed politicians, immoral and eager for power at all costs, with the intention of enacting the most heinous laws against God, nature, and man. This group of people are people who are committed to evil out of interest and are used by the enemy of God and man as strategists for the political legalization of evil laws with the intention of destroying people as much as possible.
For example, the person who was committed to the occult was Adolf Hitler, and along with him the occult was practiced by the very top of the Third Reich. When occult is practiced by rulers, then it carries dire consequences for the people. The Old Testament is replete with events in which the kings of Israel surrendered to occult influence on the heights of Israel, and as a result, the people and the state were plagued by wars, devastations, and division.
Today, this group of people includes false philanthropists, human rights activists against God’s laws, or some (co)owners of international corporations who base their apparent success on cooperation with the state through corrupt politicians set up by their own influence. The modern movement of neoliberal ideology is the product of the same occult practices carried out by the Nazis, fascists and ideologues of communism, and prepared in the Masonic-Kabbalistic laboratories of the high lodges. I recommend reading the statements of Hungarian President Orban on corruption, sponsorship and recruitment of politicians for the needs of the high Brussels administration and their sponsors from the shadows.
The second group of people are corrupt politicians eager for secular glory who will attend the first lines of the Holy Mass for public holidays, Church holidays and other feasts while filmed by cameras, and receive tasks in dark offices from their bosses from the first group, which are to be obediently performed through the role of secular authority. They belong to secret societies mostly at lower levels, where decisions are not made, but executed.
Croatia had and still has politicians from this group, and President Tuđman spoke about them in 1996 at Pleso Airport (now named after him) that these people “offer themselves and sell themselves for Judas’ money” against the people, and are associated with black, green and yellow devils. A scientific research study by a professor from Yale University in the USA (Prof. W. Tomljanovich) proved that one former President of the Republic of Croatia illegally handed over exactly 666 documents to Hague investigators (Večernji list, December 10, 2019) used to prove joint criminal undertaking that fell through on the trial of Gotovina and others.
In addition to the sold-out politicians, the second group includes many celebrities who sell their souls to evil in order to carry out their life mission for the kingdom of darkness like pawns. Their films, shows, programs, music, books, paintings and other content are full of occult motives and strongly negatively affect everyone who is their fan. How the synergy of the first and second groups of people works is shown in a Christian documentary called “Documentaire: Out of Shadow,” which can be watched until it is removed from the Internet. Corrupt politicians who have been promised careers and celebrities who publicly promote perversions have the same sponsors from the shadows!
The third group are those who practice the occult as a profession for money, and we see them on television as various healers and false prophets in the late hours of the night. For money, these people sell advice and services in the fields of bioenergy, reiki, radioaesthesia, sorcery, divination, wizardry, alchemy, horoscopes, astrology, numerology and other healing practices that are not recognized by either official medicine or the Catholic Church. These people have sold their souls to evil with the intention of it helping them achieve material wealth, and in return they help many souls fall into hell.
The fourth group are those who engage in the occult as part of their job with the intention of controlling things in their life, workplace, or business. This group of people does not practice the occult for money, but on their own initiative with the intention of influencing future events in their life or business. Of course, evil is an incomprehensible intelligence to us and it is difficult to connect concrete problems with concrete occult practice, but it is easy to connect occult practice with an increasing number of problems in the field of family relations and business relations.
Some people are arrogant and cannot be taught about this, like some university professors I know who see the occult as an area of research.
Some people have naively strayed into these practices.
At any rate, these practices are followed by severe consequences, and for those who want to shake it off, there is a long road to liberation.
The fifth group of people are unhappy people who seek help from occultists, but they know nothing about the occult, because if they did, they would not seek help. Unfortunately, Christians today do too little to teach people about the catastrophic influences of the occult, so people go to the wrong places and wrong people. It is written in the book of the prophet Hosea as a warning to the priests, but also to all believers because of the silence on idolatry that was practiced among the people: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me. (…) My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God” (Hos. 4:6-12).
Unfortunately, the clergy and the faithful today would have to talk a lot more about this topic so that God’s admonition would not reach us. Many people know nothing about the occult and perish because of the silence of Christians. God did not keep silent or teach poorly about this topic. On the contrary, the entire Old Testament from book to book is imbued with the fight against idolatry as one of the main messages. Proof of how important this topic is lies in the fact that it is God’s first commandment. It speaks against the grave sin of idolatry or occultism and the consequences of that sin.
Let us take stock for a moment. The first commandment of God is that man must not be an idolater, must not believe in the occult spirit or do the occult. When this commandment is violated, great disappointments and problems necessarily come. What does the good Father teach us in the first commandment? “There shall not be found among you (…) a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord“ (Deut. 17:10-12).
Christians need to talk and teach other people much more about this topic, because the Lord did it through patriarchs, prophets, Christ, and the apostles. There is no blessing or prosperity in the peace that God wants to give as long as man is open to occult influences. God told that through Moses to all the people and is telling it to each individual today: “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life” (Deut. 30:19). The greatest damage to a community or work collective is done by leaders who are open to occult influence for their own temporary benefit.
Their service is not for the kingdom of heaven and for the good of the people, but for the benefit of the kingdom of darkness and to the detriment of the people. Today, they are building a new Tower of Babel at the instigation of the occult spirit, through a movement known as the “New World Order.” They are convinced that Christianity is not a path for society and individuals and that it should be destroyed, and they do so in secret, even though they publicly declare themselves as believers. When you do a little research on the Internet, it is easy to see how many politicians and famous entrepreneurs today are openly engaged in occultism or publicly promote occult practices and the ideology of evil and death. True Christians recognize them easily because these people possess two faces.
One that is full of selfishness and greed, and the other that tries to please people. Somehow under the radar are the facts that occultists in Christian countries are advisers to many prime ministers, presidents, ministers and public administration, as well as in our homeland. It only takes a little time to learn, if desired, something more about this topic. When occult leaders deal with the occult, then the dark force falls on all those who are led by those leaders, so prosperity as God wants it is not possible, only the progress that evil gives, which ultimately leads to ruin, is possible.
I know many cases from entrepreneurship where the occult was practiced. At first, things went well, then family shipwrecks happened, intolerance among people, serious illnesses and, finally, bankruptcy of businesses and personal finances. The occult is also practiced in colleges. I remember an event when a university professor gave me the task of practicing the technique of transcendental meditation in class. He noticed that I was avoiding to do so, so he asked me why I was not meditating. I said I know a much more powerful meditation technique. He asked me what technique it was, and I answered meditation and contemplation of the Scripture, especially the mysteries of Christ’s life. There were no more questions or conversations on the subject. Why?
These are two opposing sources of spirituality, for “no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost” (1 Cor. 12:3). No student opposed the occult exercise in the classroom, but some resented it when I mentioned Christ with the argument that “the faculty is a secular institution, not a pulpit.” However, all those who are against the public testimony of Jesus Christ, who are bothered by crosses and rosaries, prayers in public places, religious instruction in schools etc., very quickly take Christmas and Easter bonuses, use non-working days on Christian holidays, treat themselves for Christmas and Easter, and testify to themselves how hypocritical they are: “God is their belly, and (…) glory is in their shame” (Phil. 3:19).
Today, it is much easier to speak positively and without consequences about the topics of occult practices than about Christ the Lord and His positive influence in society. If you want to shock a group of people, then start a conversation about Jesus Christ and you will see the reaction of people under the influence of the occult spirit. “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart“ (Heb. 4:12).[1]
