Well known Christian author and lecturer Tony Campolo writes how he finds the thin place every morning on page 26 of his book called Letters to a Young Evangelical.
…I am able to create what the ancient Celtic Christians call “the thin place.”
-Tony Campolo
As Roger Oakland, in his book Faith Undone, says regarding this thin place:
“This term ‘thin place’ [zone] originated with Celtic spirituality (i.e., contemplative) and is in line with panentheism … Thin places imply that God is in all things, and the gap between God, evil, man, everything thins out and ultimately disappears in meditation (pp. 114-115).

Apostacy Called Revival – The Rise of Celtic Spirituality

Apostasy Called Revival – The Rise of Celtic Spirituality
Throughout history the Church has recognized that the dominating false world religion and government prophesied of in Revelation Chapter 17 for these last days would come forth from the old Babylonian and Roman Empires. This political/religious partnership described in greater detail in Revelation Chapter 13 will reach its zenith during the establishment of a seven year covenant with Israel and her neighbors.
“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifices and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate” Daniel 9:27.
Current events overwhelmingly support that the present-day European Union which originated in Rome, Italy, with the signing of the Treaty of Rome, is indeed the prophesied restored Roman Empire which will bring forth the last day’s world dictator.
“Little children, it is the last time: and as you have heard that anti-christ shall come…” I John 2:18.
The Roman Catholic Church is a major forerunner of this end-time Babylonian harlot religion, which will unite in full power with the European Union in its final push for world dominion. Her purpose at present remains the same as when she assumed the authority and power of the decaying historic Roman Empire within her courts. That is to unite apostate Christianity and pagan religions together for allegiance to the restored Roman Empire, through their common roots found in the ancient Babylonian mystery religion. She is a bishop on the last day’s chessboard, but she remains a disposable piece all the same.
The great city of the harlot will be destroyed sometime at the end of the first three-and-one-half years of the Tribulation Period.
“And he saith unto me, The water which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God has put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman that thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” Revelation 17:15-18.
The anti-Christ and his followers do not hate religion as a whole, since it is essential to their final demand for worship. They just hate having to continue to carry this particular religion which will have served its limited purpose.
The final form of Satan’s religion which will rise to prominence after this point will be the deadliest of all and will be the system which demands that the world worship the anti-Christ through the authority of the second beast known as the false prophet.
“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he excerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed” Revelation 13:11-15.
In order to effectively consider leading candidates for which religious system might exist in the world today that could more specifically fulfill the role of the last day’s religion of the anti-Christ, the Church can only pray for discernment. The belief system, which will overshadow the false religions of the earth during the closing hours of this age will display a perverted form of Christianity and will have at its core the belief that it is the worship system which is destined to produce its own messiah in replacement of Jesus Christ.
Its belief system’s roots must go back to ancient times of spiritualism and mysticism. At present the primary candidate seen with these credentials is the Celtic Apostolic Church (The Emergent Church) 1, which originated in Britain around 37 AD, and is growing in power and prestige at a phenomenal rate. The roots of Druidic paganism are deeply entrenched in the Celtic Church, which can be verified by the fact that St. Columba’s own motto proclaimed “Christ is my Druid.”
St. Columba, was held in high esteem by leading false prophet of The Latter Rain Movement, William Branham. On Branham’s pyramid shaped tombstone, in Jeffersonville, Indiana, are inscribed the names of the seven churches of Revelation and seven men. If the two faces of the pyramid juxtaposed one over the other, the fourth church and man listed would be Thyatira – Columba.
Dr Rowan Williams, the man expected to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury [England], who will lead the 70 million-strong Anglican Church around the world, is involved in Druidic paganism. In an early morning ceremony Dr Williams was inducted as an honorary white druid. The ceremony took place “in the face of the sun, in the eye of the light” while druids chanted “a prayer to the ancient god and goddess of the land”2 at the start of the Welsh National Eisteddfod at St David’s, Pembrokeshire, Wales on August 5, 2002.
At this time, August 2002, the spiritual figurehead of this pagan religion is HRH Prince Michael of Albany, Head of the Royal House of Stewart, who claims that on November 4, 1985, under International Law the president of the International Parliament (Mediterranean Security), endorsed by the United Nations, ratified his legal right as Head of the Celtic Church of the Sacred Kindred of Saint Columba. Prince Michael also boldly claims that his titles were verified as legitimate titular claimant to the Throne of Scots and legal Pretender to the Throne of Britain.3
Additional recognized titles claimed by this prince from Scotland’s Royal House of Stewart are Knight Grand Officer of the Supreme Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem (S.M.O.T.J. is a modern-day order of the Knight Templars), Knight Grand Commander of the Chivalric Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem4 and Prince of Jerusalem.5
Daniel 9:26 may be significant to ponder in light of Prince Michael’s belief that the Royal House of Stewart, known to this day as the Royal House of Unicorns, are descendants of the Jewish kings of Judah6 (the anti-Semitic belief known as British Israelism), and the specific title of Prince of Jerusalem from the House of Stewart, when considering the anti-Christ’s prophesied role as “the prince that shall come.” Of additional interest is that Michael claims to be Grand Protector of the Order of the Dragon for Great Britain and the English speaking world,7 and President of the European Council of Princes.8
Prince Michael also claims to be the 57th Archpriest and Temporal Head of Scotland’s ancient Druidic-Christian Church of the Culdees, and that Polish born Pope John Paul II acknowledged his right to the Polish Crown (Michael claims to hold the title of Prince of Poland), and invoked God’s abundant blessings upon him as leader of the Celtic Church and the Knight Templars.9
If the Celtic pagan religion is the belief system of these last days, which will amalgamate apostate Christianity under the anti-Christ, then patterns and evidence of footholds within so-called Christian enclaves should be evident. Those who have discernment will find names of persons, religious rites, and symbolic representations, associated with the Celtic Apostolic Church have been introduced into an extensive number of Christian assemblies.
One such name that is being put forth is Smith Wigglesworth, who is held in high esteem by many in Pentecostal and charismatic churches. At the Family Worship Center complex, Jimmy Swaggart has dedicated one of his buildings to Wigglesworth. It is also of interest to note that Gabriel Swaggart, grandson of Jimmy and Frances, appeared on the front cover of the Evangelist wearing a pagan Celtic cross necklace.10
For those unfamiliar with the Celtic cross: “Crosses have long been a sacred symbol in many cultures all over the world, even before the dawn of Christianity. Yet Celtic Crosses are distinctive…they are among the most cherished Celtic symbols in all of Ireland. Carved stone High Crosses have dotted the Irish landscape through the ages. They are another emblem of the ancient premise “As above, so below.” This beloved Celtic symbol is also the definitive emblem of the unique evolution of the faith of the Irish people. Whether depicted vertically or diagonally, the cross has long been a sacred symbol, even before the dawn of Christianity. It represented the four directions of the winds – North, South, East, West. It also stood for the four seasons, and the energy of the male force. The ring at the center is what makes Irish Celtic crosses unique. In the ancient pagan Celtic world, the circle/wheel represented many sacred things…the life cycle, the cycle of the seasons, the Sun, wholeness, and the energy of the female force. Others say the cross represents the Cosmic Order of all things. The Celts also believed that the center of the wheel was where the Heavens and the Earth met, a place where the soul could reach ultimate enlightenment. The Celtic Cross is a symbolic union of these two powerful emblems and it stands for many profound and sacred truths. The balance and harmony between male and female…The four corners of the earth from one source…The eternal cycle of the four seasons…The eternal connection of all things in the Heavens and the Earth.”11
In 1947, Wigglesworth gave the following “end time “rare” prophecy”:
“During the next few decades there will be two distinct moves of the Holy Spirit across the Church in Great Britain. The first move will affect every church that is open to receive it and will be characterised by a restoration of the baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit. The second move of the Holy Spirit will result in people leaving historic churches and planting new churches…there will be the biggest movement of the Holy Spirit that the nation, and indeed the world, has ever seen. It will mark the beginning of a revival that will eclipse anything that has been witnessed within these shores, even the Wesleyan and Welsh revivals of former years. The outpouring of God’s Spirit will flow from the UK to the mainland of Europe, and from there will begin a missionary move to the ends of the earth.” 12
In opposition to Wigglesworth’s “prophecy,” of a great revival, the Scriptures reveal that in these last days there will be a great falling away with men holding to a form of godliness while denying the power of Christ’s blood shed on the cross at Calvary.
“ 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;” II Thessalonians 2:3.
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” II Timothy 3:5.
In fact, at this late date the only “great revival” that has come forth from the shores of the United Kingdom, which is reaching Europe and the rest of the world, is a revival of Celtic spirituality.
Many prominent writers and charismatic church leaders are urging the people of Europe to return to their Celtic roots in order to foster reconciliation between the Celtic peoples. In a book published in London, the author Martin Robinson, Director of Mission and Theology for the British and Foreign Bible Society, pointed out the importance attached to Europeans recognizing that the growing reunification of Europe is not only connected with Celtic history but also with their beliefs.
“Recent events in the history of Europe have forced us to reconsider what we mean by the term ‘Europe’. In the period between the end of the Second World War and the fall of the Berlin Wall ‘Europe’ often meant the two very different Europes of West and East. The growing reunification of Europe allows us to look again at what a common European culture, history, heritage and home might mean. Europe can once more be seen as a culture which has interacted in particular ways with other cultures and continents in the world. The shift in focus from two Europes – one broadly liberal and democratic, the other communist and totalitarian – to a single Europe which sees itself as part of a broader Western culture, but distinct in particular ways from North America, allows a reconsideration of the elements that caused a common European story to emerge from the multiplicity of stories owned by the various tribes of Europe.
In this context, the contribution of the Celts is now better understood. They are no longer seen as simply forms of the faith that existed in Celtic lands, but which were then overtaken. Their active role in shaping larger parts of Europe is now recognized. In a purely historical sense their role and reputation are rightly restored. But the present interest in the Celts seeks to go beyond a merely historical restitution. Their contribution to the shaping of our past is just as challenging as restoring their place in history.”13
George G. Hunter III, Dean of the E. Stanley Jones School of World Mission and Evangelism and Professor of Evangelism and Church Growth at Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky, affirmed the absorption of all things Celtic by people, while expressing an astute observation that it is not readily apparent that people are recognizing the Celtic source of their attachments and inspirations.
“…we can see enough parallels between the Celtic era and ours to understand the growing interest in Celtic Christianity. A renaissance in Celtic music, Celtic art, Celtic dance, Celtic love of nature, and Celtic spirituality is already underway. Sometimes, though, it is difficult to discern whether people are consciously plugging into Celtic Christianity or simply latching onto some of its themes without regard to their probable Celtic source.
For example, eighteenth-century Methodism grew remarkably among England’s working poor people who did not fit into the refined Church of England culture, whom Establishment Christianity largely ignored. John Wesley went to great lengths, through observation, interviews, and correspondence, to understand England’s unchurched populations. Methodism, like Celtic Christianity before it took root and became contagious almost everywhere in the open air. Wesley’s movement practiced the ministry of hospitality and welcomed seekers into the fellowship of Methodist class meetings, and even into Methodist societies, before they believed or had experienced anything…
…Methodism formed its people in ways reminiscent of the Celtic five-fold approach. Methodism engaged people’s imaginations through Charles Wesley’s poetry and the folk arts of the people. Early Methodism adopted the people’s kind of music, and many people sang their way to faith. Like the movement spawned by [Celtic St.] Patrick, Wesley’s movement believed it had recovered the original apostolic mission to pre-Christian population…
The second half of the twentieth century experienced a widespread renewal of many features of Celtic Christianity. Ian Bradley observes that some of the most influential Christian writers of the twentieth century, like John Ballie, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and Thomas Merton were drawing from a distinctively Celtic theological vision…
Some Christian movements today, such as Revelation Church in the south of England, are consciously informed by a Celtic vision…Revelation churches involve their people in soul friendship, small groups, lay ministries, the ministry of witnessing, and in cross cultural mission…Revelation Church is discovering ways to communicate through visual symbols and the creative arts.
The Jesus Movement in Australia is also consciously Celtic in its roots and vision. The movement began around 1970, under the leadership of John Smith, as an outbreak of indigenous evangelistic and prophetic activity in Irish pubs, coffee shops, art communities, folk music communities, hippie communities, and in debates on race and justice on university campuses. The movement evolved into an apostolic order in cooperation with several Australian denominations. The Australian Jesus Movement targeted people in (and beyond) the fringes of establishment society…Smith would organize an itinerant team of a dozen to thirty or more people to engage a community for some days. Team members let their hair grow long, traveled on motorcycles, and when appropriate, wore hippie shirts…Many team members were etched with Celtic Christian tattoos, which, Smith recalls, “stimulated questions everywhere!”
Some Christian movements, such as the Alpha course from Holy Trinity Church in the Brompton section of London, may be unconsciously informed by a Celtic Christianity. The Alpha course served for over a decade, as Holy Trinity’s introduction to Christianity for seekers who want to “sniff around,” “kick the tires,” check out Christianity, and try it on for size. In the early 1990’s, the church’s leaders introduced other church leaders to the course and its growth has been remarkable – from 5 registered courses in 1992, to 10,500 in 1998 – in 72 countries…
Finally, not many churches are yet following Christ to reach the receptive New Barbarians who are all around them! Nevertheless, the Celtic Christian movement that won the West for a second time has shown us many ways for reaching the West for a third time…”14
Leaders within the apostate church have referred to “reaching the West for a third time” by the Celtic Church as the “third wave.” The “first wave” was the “evangelization” by this early church with it’s Eastern-influenced spirituality, led by [Celtic Saints] Patrick and Columba. The “second wave” began in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, with Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, and George Whitefield being the central figures, and became known as the Great Awakening in the American colonies, and the Evangelical Revival in the Britain Isles. The “third wave” of Celtic spirituality gained further prominence around the world in 1906 with the Azusa Street Revival, where British Israel believer Charles Fox Parham (Father of Pentecostalism) played a central role. Then in the 1960’s, and 1997, Celtic spirituality gained even further influence around the world with the emergence of the New Age Movement, the Jesus Movement, and the Hebrew Roots Movement. The Hebrew Roots Movement will lead many into the bondage of the ungodly Noahide Laws.
At this late hour, most, if not all of today’s front-line organizations use the counter-culture/social-political model of the ancient Celtic Church as a tool to “evangelize” the world. The Kaleidoscopic Global Action Plan formally commissioned by the GCOWE (Global Consultation on World Evangelization) 2000 conveners in September 1988, is a blue print for the spiritual, social and political agenda designed to usher in the one world religion. This is clearly evident when reading the following:
“Offer the hand of friendship, respect, cooperation, love, compassion, understanding, and dialogue to our fellow human beings and fellow religionist in the great world religions of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Sikhism, Baha’i, Shinto, and numerous others…While differing in our beliefs about God and Jesus, we can all nevertheless struggle together against the monstrous evils that plague our planet, threaten its survival, and so render world evangelization planning futile.”15
Although, the organizations who engage in the Celtic Church’s practice of no boundaries between the sacred and the secular are to numerous to mention, some of the main groups and their leaders are: AD 2000 and Beyond, Luis Bush. Adopt-A-People, Frank Kaleb Jansen. Campus Crusade for Christ. Bill Bright. Celebrate Jesus 2000, Vinson Synan. Concerts of Prayer, David Bryant. Every Home for Christ, Dick Eastman. Global Harvest Ministries, C. Peter Wagner, Doris Wagner, and Chuck Pierce. Open Church Ministries, Jim Rutz. Pioneer, Gerald Coates and Roger Ellis. Promise Keepers, Bill McCartney. The Church Growth Movement, C. Peter Wagner, Bill Hybels, and Rick Warren. U S Center for World Mission, Ralph Winter. Youth With a Mission, Loren Cunningham.
Not all are blind to the Celtic influence being introduced into the churches but in fact are advocates of its allure. In an article from a popular ecumenical magazine it was reported that:
“Throughout England, charismatic leaders are adopting the ancient Celts as a new ministry model for the 21st century. Roger Forster, pastor of the Icthus Church in London and a leader of the March for Jesus movement, refers to Patrick and other Celtic saints as examples of “radical” Christianity.
Excluding its ancient evangelical nature, Celtic Christianity cuts across denominational, nationalistic and physical boundaries in presenting the gospel. Catholics and Protestants, traditionalists and charismatics all are inspired by the saints…
Andy and Jane Fitz-Gibbon lead a renewal community based in New York. They share their own insights in their book Prophetic Lifestyle and the Celtic Way…
“A ‘new Dark Ages’ presents us with a greater challenge than faced by the church since the collapse of the Roman Empire,” they write. “We can no longer assume even a passing awareness of Christian tradition and culture.”
The church’s evangelistic task is aimed at a new paganism, they point out. And in some ways, they note, the church has been here before..
The division that stirs misunderstanding about the Celtic movement seems to occur naturally along spiritual lines. In the church, inquirers will find a Christ-centered, charismatic, Celtic-style spirituality. In secular society, inquirers will discover a myth-and-magic movement with a few saints and prayers thrown in for good measure.
Indeed, the Celtic movement in the wider world beyond the church is a strong one, offering a bizarre mix of pagan and pro-Christian mythology. British newspaper The Telegraph, reported last spring that Celtic culture has been gaining ground in postmodern Britain…
Despite the flurry, the evangelistic and meditative cry of the Celts may well continue into the 21st century, like an echo from the past. Some…say we ignore it at our peril if we mean to take the gospel successfully into societies that have increasingly withdrawn from the church to seek their spirituality elsewhere….
For evangelist Steve Hill of Brownsville Assembly of God in Pensacola, Florida, the heart cry of the Celts was heard while he rode on a ferry across the English Channel…Hill later received prayer at London’s Holy Trinity Brompton Church…and he went on to play a key role in what has become known as the Father’s Day Outpouring at Brownsville Assembly in 1995.
The cry of the heart that the Celts sounded…is being heard again, and it is the same call today as it was at its birthplace on the misty green hills and rocky coasts of ancient Celtic lands. It is still the sound of revival.”16
An example of the “outpouring” from Brownsville Assembly was reported in the June 19, 2000 edition of the Pensacola News Journal Today. The article revealed that at Sunday’s Brownsville Assembly of God service “thunderous wailing, shrieking and howling surged. To a beating drum waves of pandemonium swept the church. For almost 20 minutes, people raced through the isles, danced, laughed, uncontrollably, jumped, jerked, and collapsed…[John Kilpatrick, pastor of the assembly stated] “Now, that’s how it should be.””
The Word of God clearly warns of these demonic manifestations that are taking place in churches across America and around the world.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils;” I Timothy 4:1.
Another fearful example of the “outpouring” was reported to have taken place in 1997, during an ecumenical gathering in Cork, Ireland. At this meeting, lead by four renewed church group leaders, Peter Anderson (Anglican), Tom Hoban (Good News Fellowship), John Keating (Christian Centre) and Doug Heffernan (Celtic Prayer Centre), spirits were invoked and those in attendance were encouraged to return to their Celtic roots.
“On the Saturday a leaders lunch was held in the Celtic Prayer Centre, which saw the coming together of Anglicans, Methodists, Presbyterians and the independent Christian groups. Wes [Campbell] again ministered and encouraged those gathered to be open and expectant of the REVIVAL that the current RENEWAL was leading towards…
On Sunday morning we were entertained by John Scotland. John is one of the most unusually anointed people, in his case, he has continuous symptoms of being drunk in the spirit. He is amazing to watch! He had everyone take another drink and enjoy the presence of the spirit.
The climax was on Sunday night when Wes came running into the hall in full Braveheart regalia. Roaring to the sound of the Celtic music he talked about standing for Jesus and possessing our land and FREEDOM. It was fantastic and many were really challenged to lay hold of our former WARRIOR FAITH and declare war on the enemy.”17
Sadly, many are deceived into believing that these bizarre actions are the result of being filled with the Holy Spirit, but Scripture refutes this contention and instead exposes such behaviour as being demented or demonic. These same demonstrations of spirit possession are readily identifiable in many pagan religions including the practice of voodoo.
Such demonic manifestation were also evident at “revivals” in Europe and America during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Among those influencing these meetings were George Whitefield, Francis Asbury, Charles Finney, Count Nicholas Zinzendorf, Jonathan Edwards and John Wesley.
“Of particular importance to Wesley was the outpouring of the Spirit in Everton [England] during the summer of 1759…what he found made a profound impression on him, to the extent that he made occasional references to it in his Journal throughout the rest of his life. In one of his first references to it (July 29, 1759), he quotes a very long account of the work of God in Everton, probably by John Walsh who wrote:
“…The Lord was wonderfully present, more than twenty persons feeling the arrows of conviction. Several fell to the ground, some of whom seemed dead, others in the agonies of death, the violence of their bodily convulsions exceeding all description. There was also great crying and agonizing in prayer, mixed with deep and deadly groans on every side…
A child, seven years old, sees many visions and astonishes the neighbors with her innocent, awful manner of declaring them…“18
Roger Ellis and Chris Seaton, leaders of Revelation Church in England, acknowledged the Celtic origins of these “signs and wonders” when they wrote:
“…there was in Celtic Christianity much that charismatics and Pentecostals would recognize today. Increasingly, historians are beginning to acknowledge that the growing body of evidence for miracles occurring today must influence their view of the Celts’ account of miracles…
Just so, there is something about the flowing together of spiritual streams of anointing that works towards the strengthening and deepening of a move of God in a nation. We can apply this principle to contemporary “wells” with which we are familiar…
The streams of revival from the wells in Toronto, Canada, Pensacola, Florida and Argentina in South America have flowed into our nation across many denominational boundaries in recent years. Likewise there have been tools like Alpha, Cities for God and March for Jesus that have either stimulated or been enhanced by local church unity.”19
The anti-Christ will operate in the greatest magnitude of what the deceived will believe are the true signs and wonders and gifts of the Spirit.
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,” II Thessalonians 2:9.
The one true God, the living Lord Jesus Christ did ordain individual leaders for His church.
“And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-12.
Today, many are caught in the deception of the Celtic Church’s ungodly “five-fold ministry” approach, which replaced Jesus Christ with their own false apostles, prophets evangelists pastors and teachers, who then served as the people’s lords. These false teachers “… appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness” (Matt. 23:27.)
To the body of Christ who have been deceived into following and supporting these false prophets the Word of Almighty God declares:
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Be-li-al? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” II Corinthians 6:14-18.
In closing, there seems to be no other religion on earth which can serve the purpose of Satan so fully in these last days than the one spawned from pagan Celtic beliefs. From its reach to the nobles of Europe to its inroads in countless so-called Christian franchises the supernatural powers of evil await the final establishment of her unholy glory.
