perfect in beauty, full of wisdom and holding the secrets of the universe. This beautiful side of
evil is really a charade which covers up his real agenda of seducing mankind into following his
lead in an attempt to take over the throne of God. Many people who would never corrupt
themselves with vice, crime and other kinds of nasty mayhem have been seduced into pride,
power and the kind of sins associated with power, prestige, and even a search for esoteric or

2The Hebrew word (shining one)(found only in Isa 14:12) comes from the Hebrew root word that means to
shine found in Job 29:3; 31:26; 41:10 and Isaiah 13:10. The KJV translates the word as Lucifer while the NIV translates
it as O morning star. Hebrew scholars are not in agreement whether the Isaiah passage really refers to Satan. My own
conclusion is that it does refer to a real being on the basis of exegesis of the Hebrew text. This paper is too brief to prove
the point here,
mankind of his right to rule. He seeks human followers who will readily identify with evil,
darkness, lying, destruction, terror and the grotesque. Satanism is an overt attempt to use
demonic power to dominate depraved humanity. Demons operate as vultures of the soul who
delight to gain spiritual power by feeding on raw, negative human emotion. Through the plan
launched in Genesis 6, demons have continued to use incubus and succubus (though now not
able to produce offspring). Demonically empowered people have used sadistic torture, sexual
abuse, domination, and mind control as a part of what might properly be called Satanic Ritual
Abuse. Some have argued that Satan is unable to control mankinds inherent weakness through
the flesh and thus he is responsible neither for individuals nor society degenerating into anarchy,
chaos and dissolution (Rom 1). However, it is more likely that he orchestrates such degenerating
conditions since they cause more misery both for individuals and groups of people. In the end
this well suits his ultimate purpose of gaining a negative spiritual power so that he might
eventually be able to dominate the world and in the end take over the throne of the universe. I
believe that the Scripture makes clear that his plan will fail.
Because of his pride Lucifer lost his position of resplendent brilliance in which he reflected
the glory of God. One could argue that he saw the glory he reflected and forgot or ignored
the fact that it did not radiate from his person, as it does from the divine Godhead. Is he
attempting to get back at God for his loss of position by trying to convince mankind of his
power and knowledge hoping to seduce specific humans into worshiphoping to eventually
attain his own dream of ascending to a place above God? A good case could be made for
such a position.

referring to a person. The New Testament uses the word devil (diavbolo" 37 times) meaning slanderer, and
Satan, Satavn, 36 times). Other words used of this being include serpent, that old serpent, destroyer,
murderer, liar, prince of darkness, and so on.

Semiramis, Nimrods wife, though shocked by his death, demonstrated that her resolution
and unbounded ambition were in nowise checked. On the contrary, her ambition took a still
higher flight. In life her husband had been honoured as a hero; in death she will have him

established in life was open and public, the religion his wife established was secret since
publicity was out of the question. 7
Hislop writes:
Now when Shem had so powerfully wrought upon the minds of men as to
induce them to make a terrible example of the great Apostate, and when that
Apostates dismembered limbs were sent to the chief cities, where no doubt his
system had been established, it will be readily perceived that, in these circumstances,
if idolatry was to continueif, above all, it was to take a step in advance, it was
indispensable that it should operate in secret. The terror of an execution, inflicted on
one so mighty as Nimrod, made it needful that, for some time to come at least, the
extreme of caution should be used. In these circumstances, then, began, there can
hardly be a doubt, that system of Mystery, which having Babylon for its centre, has
spread over the world. In these Mysteries, under the seal of secrecy and the sanction
of an oath, and by means of all the fertile resources of magic, men were gradually led
back to all the idolatry that had been publicly suppressed, while new features were
added to that idolatry that made it still more blasphemous than before. That magic
and idolatry were twin sisters, and came into the world together, we have abundant
evidence. 8
This was an intellectually aloof and highly secretive group which covertly sought world
domination by financial, political and spiritual power. This Luciferian or light side is in
reality empowered by the same Satan whose dark side is seen in Genesis 6. There is
evidence that these mystery religions have never completely disappeared. There is reason to

Deut 18
9When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the
detestable ways of the nations there. 10Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son
or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in
witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead.
12Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable
practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you.

Another definition, from a more secular perspective, uses the descriptor Sadistic Ritual Abuse
of the following:
Ritual abuse is defined as a series of acts, including sexual abuse and rituals designed to
turn children against themselves, their families and society to enhance the power of the
perpetrators(s). Children are dually socialized to perform appropriately in the outside
world and to carry out behaviors demanded by the perpetrator(s). There are three classes of
perpetrators:
1. Isolated sex rings who dress up in costumes to frighten and control the children. If the
children tell, they will not be believed.
2. Isolated perpetrators who use control techniques developed by organized groups.
3. Organized groups, using costumes and props, which may be engaged in criminal
activities such as child pornography and child prostitution. 13

hidden agenda
Many, if not all, of the secret societies, especially the Illuminati, seem to have their roots in
ancient Babylon. The distinction between the Luciferian/Satanic groups is deliberately
blurred. It might be that the Luciferians hide behind the Satanists because they really dont
want their existence, let alone their activities, to be publicly known. In any case it is difficult
to get those with Luciferian beliefs even to identify with their background in Satanic abuse.
Those personalities within an individual who identify with Luciferian doctrine will often
deny that anything Satanic even happened to them. I have usually found this to be an
elaborate cover-up so they cannot be touched by the usual therapeutic methods. In reality
they have been programmed to forget their own roots in the Canaanite culture of
Satanism so they can remain hidden and secretive. This background is essential for their
training in obedience. They may acknowledge abuse in a general way but see it as a positive
good that taught them to rise above the pain and thus consider it insignificant.
They were taught to develop a willingness to deny their own pleasure/goals and give
everything for the plan of eventual worldwide domination. In their belief system the

individual matters little. What counts for everything is total commitment to the big picture.
They believe they control the worlds monetary supply, have been responsible for two world
wars and that soon they will be in total control.
This rather elite cadre of movers and shakers seek to enhance the ideal of the Lucifer
figure, whom they believe will eventually conquer the world and destroy all those who serve
the Creator God. Besides this God, their most vicious venom is reserved for those sincere
Christians who really believe biblical truth. The Creator is considered inferior and the
enemy of their vision of mankinds future. They believe that as the enlightened ones, they
can share in the rule and domination of Lucifer, whom they equate with light, power and
goodness. They are not always content with the title Luciferian because of the way
Christians have equated him with the fallen Satan. The movement took on new life with
the founding of the OTO, the Order of the Golden Dawn and the Illuminati, which has
become extremely secretive and stays out of the public eye.
Carrico has documented that Freemasonry is a link between most of the modern founders of
various occult groups since most of them were also Freemasons. One of the many
Freemasons who was also involved in the occult was Aleister Crowley, considered the father
of modern witchcraft. Apparently, Crowley learned ritual magic from MacGregor Mathers,
but they were soon locked in a bitter Black Magic feud and when Mathers died in 1918
Crowley was blamed for his death. Mathers, also a Freemason, introduced Crowley to the
Order of the Golden Dawn. Crowleys statements leave no doubt that he believed in not
16
just animal sacrifice, but especially in the great power of human sacrifice. In MAGIC in
Theory and Practice he writes:
The animal should therefore be killed within the Circle, or the Triangle, as the case may be,
so that its energy cannot escape. An animal should be selected whose nature accords with
that of the ceremonythus, by sacrificing a female lamb one would not obtain any
appreciate quantity of the fierce energy useful to a magician who was invoking Mars. In such
a case a ram would be more suitable. And this ram should be virginthe whole potential of
its original total energy should not have been diminished in any way. For the highest spiritual
working one must accordingly choose that victim which contains the greatest and purest
force. A male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most satisfactory
and suitable victim (bold added). 17

The last days of the Old Age through which we are passing now may be called a
transition period when the inside of the cup of our national life shall be cleansed. (See
Matt. 23:25-26) This cleansing process must go on until that which ought not to survive
will be purged in order that those things that are permanent and immovable may remain as
blessings to mankind. This covert theme in much of the New Age material suggests that

they believe Christians are a hindrance to their plans and will seek to eliminate them in any
way possible. Those of us who take a futuristic view of Revelation find Revelation 18:13 a
fascinating statement that among the trading cargo of the end-time Babylon will be the
bodies and souls of mankind. Does this imply a kind of psychological slavery? In any
case, it seems clear to me that murder, immorality, drug use, and the worship of demons will
be a part of the end time scenario. Revelation 9:20-21 says that people will
Not stop worshipping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and woodidols that
cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts [the Greek
word is farmakwnpharmacon or drugs, often used in connection with ritual magic], their
sexual immorality or their thefts.
C. Conclusion
Satanism is actively bringing in a culture of death.
Sometimes it appeals to the potential for evil within mankind.
Satan may also appear as an Angel of Light disguising his religion as intellectual elitism
sometimes called Luciferianism.
Either way, mankind is duped into following a loser.
In the end it will be seen that he has all along been an alternative for worship, but still he is
Gods servant, not an eternal rival.
God will accomplish His purpose and even Lucifer/Satan cant stop Him!!!
