A particular performance during the recent Paris Olympics opening ceremony sparked global controversy, causing significant concern and outrage not only among Christians but also among countless people who hold universal values. Despite the organizers’ subsequent explanations, the staging—which appeared to trivialize or desecrate core Christian sanctity—faced fierce criticism from numerous leaders and citizens both at home and abroad. And this is not the only instance. The bizarre, occult-style performances staged at large Western festivals—which are growing in scale every year—and at global music competitions, as well as certain symbols and provocative slogans witnessed in major sports stadiums, go beyond the realm of mere popular culture and evoke cult-like religious rituals imbued with a kind of spiritual madness.
These anti-Biblical and humanistic ideological currents have already secretly infiltrated South Korea and are knocking on the door of legislation; a prime example of this is the proposed “Comprehensive Anti-Discrimination Act.” Hidden behind the noble-sounding pretext of human rights and equality, the advocacy for sexual minorities (LGBTQ) encompasses spiritual sins strictly forbidden by the Bible; on a broader scale, a dark spiritual identity that opposes the sacred order of creation lurks beneath the surface. Some may dismiss linking a simple legislative bill to spiritual forces behind the scenes as an overinterpretation. However, there is no other way to explain why demonic symbols and flags from ancient occult traditions appear so openly in modern street festivals and Halloween culture other than through cultural permissiveness. This is not a mere coincidence or a passing fad, but an extension of the spiritual warfare that has been constantly unfolding throughout human history. It is simply that the general public either fails to recognize its true nature or remains indifferent to it.
This spiritual turbidity extends beyond society and culture, manifesting in subtle forms even within the holiest realm of religion. The dominance of “Mammon,” the idol of materialism, is projected today through greed and opaque financial management within religious communities, while distorted idolatry is often evidenced by the moral transgressions of some leaders. Furthermore, the act of reinterpreting and altering the absolute values of the Bible through a human-centered, humanistic perspective is also a serious spiritual deviation. For example, the Catholic tradition of prostrating oneself before specific images—which arbitrarily downplays or omits the stern command in the Ten Commandments, “You shall not make for yourself any graven image”—has long been a theological point of contention. Throughout the Bible, the object of faith is solely the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Nevertheless, we must critically examine from a biblical perspective whether the ancient mother-son worship tradition—traced back to the goddess Semiramis, the sun god Nimrod, and their son Tammuz in ancient Babylonian mythology—is projected onto the origins of today’s religious images of Mary and the infant Jesus.
It is clearly an anti-Christian act to condone or advocate, under religious authority, a homosexual system that destroys the family—the smallest community of humanity and a sacred institution. Furthermore, it is a well-known fact that the Catholic system stands at the center of religious pluralism, which denies the uniqueness of the Gospel—that there is no way to salvation except through Jesus Christ—and teaches that every religion offers its own path to salvation. Behind their professed message of interfaith solidarity and peace lies a grand, overarching intention to ultimately break down religious boundaries and pursue a single, massive spiritual and political unification. Furthermore, it is an open secret in church history that a specific religious order—which has historically built a powerful elite network—has contributed to this ideological core. Without revealing their direct presence in core areas of human society—such as ideology, economics, culture, and education—they have been subtly manipulating the world.
At times, they polarize politics through left-wing social ideologies, destabilize economic systems by exploiting the dynamics of global capital, and dominate popular culture with radical egalitarian ideas. Furthermore, they seek to paralyze human spiritual reason and logic by promoting unverified scientific dogma. This trend resembles the deception of a spiritual adversary who disguises himself as an angel of light to steal human worship and glory. The attempt to explain away the word “Lucifer” in the Latin hymn “Exsultet”—which resounds during the Easter Vigil Mass each year—by claiming it refers solely to the “Morning Star” mentioned in 2 Peter also raises theological doubts. Even if the essence of the term may have been diluted through the process of translation and interpretation, the implications of its existence within the biblical context—such as in Isaiah 14—clearly cannot rule out an association with fallen spiritual forces. The series of Mass rituals and themes presided over by the recently deceased Pope also clearly supported this inclusive and syncretistic spiritual trend.
Visual observations that the structure of St. Peter’s Basilica, built in the Middle Ages, resembles the symbolic forms of ancient pagan temples (such as the lingam), the historical fact that the funds for the basilica’s construction were the product of religious corruption—namely, the sale of indulgences—and the customs of saint veneration associated with the basilica’s underground crypt all raise many questions for modern Christians. It leads us to reflect deeply on why the veneration of relics and liturgical practices reminiscent of ancient pagan customs are still being repeated in the name of Christianity within a holy place of worship. The Bible clearly declares that we are not to make any image that might deceive the human eye. Wondering why the mainstream religious system clings to traditions and forms that contradict this explicit command, I once again opened God’s Word and examined it carefully, just as the Bereans did.
Only when we view the world through the truth of Jesus Christ—the Light Himself—rather than through human traditions passed down through generations, do the hidden spiritual truths begin to emerge clearly. I can feel God’s holy presence with my whole being—living and breathing within the boundaries of the majestic firmament designed to protect humanity, alongside the sun in the sky and the moon adorning the night sky, both unfolded by the Creator. No matter how much the world’s religious rituals and cultural manipulations may deceive people, the truth remains unchanged. So, even today, I rise early at dawn, retreat to my quiet room to record the watch over truth on my blog, and begin a new day with gratitude.
