Occult Roots Of Halloween - Al Whittinghill

The sermon presents a sweeping theological and historical critique of modern holidays, particularly Halloween, tracing their origins to ancient Babylonian idolatry rooted in the worship of Nimrod, Semiramis, and Tammuz, as symbolized in Revelation's harlot Babylon. It argues that pagan rituals—such as bonfires, trick-or-treating, jack-o'-lanterns, and the veneration of the dead—persist today under Christian-sounding names, masquerading as harmless tradition while perpetuating occult practices that God abhors. Drawing from Scripture, especially Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Isaiah, the preacher warns that participation in such customs constitutes spiritual compromise, sanctioning demonic worship and violating God's command to abstain from all appearance of evil. The central call is for believers to make a clear, intentional choice between the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness, rejecting cultural conformity in favor of wholehearted, intelligent devotion to Christ, and celebrating the Reformation instead of pagan festivals as a testimony to biblical truth.
