Valentine's Day = Heathenism

 

I'd like to share something very profound that I found about the truth about Valentine's Day. This got me thinking...

"Valentine Day is a day that carries cursing rather than blessing. Its foundation was laid through the Satanic spirit of both Nimrod and his wife Semiramis, the founders of Babylon which Revelation 18:2 describes as, "the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."

While Semiramis was worshiped as the Moon goddess/Queen of Heaven, Isis, or Mother Earth goddess. Nimrod was worshiped as Sun-god, Osiris, Lupercus, Baal or underground god. Their worship was firmly grounded on sexual activities.

The Romans took Nimrod's name Lupercus as the god whom they treated as the god of erotic love and had set February 14 to be a holiday whereby all activities in the nation focused on sexual orientation. It was a holiday of love. They also combined this with the sexual worship of the other gods of love called Juno Februata and from whom the month of February was named.

The worship of Lupercus was referred to as Lupercalia. The day was treated as one where everybody had a sexual license in honor of Lupercus, the god of fertility. In 496 AD, Pope Gelasius "Christianized" this day in honor of Saint Valentine, and therefore called it "St. Valentine's Day." Valentine was executed by Emperor Claudius on February 14 in 3rd century AD. Pope Gelasius treated this saint as the patron saint of lovers and had the heart shape used for Valentine's Day celebrations.

Note that Baal in Babylonian language meant "heart." This is where the Valentine heart symbol originated. Red roses were the favorite flower of the goddess Venus, which was as well treated as another symbol of Valentine's Day. Flower-giving to lovers was highly esteemed.

Red was taken as the color that signifies strong sexual feelings on Valentine's day. This then means that in whatever way one would celebrate Valentine's Day, even simply saying, "Happy Valentine's Day," or wearing red clothes in honor of Valentine's Day, one has automatically engaged himself/herself in the worship of Lupercus, Juno, Februata, Baal, Mother Earth goddess, Osiris, etc.

If you are a believer, WATCH OUT! It is all hooked into paganism. Search Google to find "Valentine and its pagan roots" or in whatever other way you would frame the sentence. It is by knowing the truth, that truth will set you free. MANY PEOPLE ARE ENTRENCHING THEMSELVES INTO BONDAGE for the love of money, immorality and all acts of covetousness.

My comments: I have never thought about celebrating Valentine's Day as such. I often wore red clothing and heart jewelry to church for our Valentine's Day events. We have such events because we enjoy doing things for our married couples, as well as our singles, but certainly not engaging in idolatry. (Also, much of my church clothing is black and red, but that doesn't automatically mean I am a Satanist, even though black and red are Satanism's colors.) I go to a Bible-believing church, for that matter, and we by no means come even close to Valentine's Day paganism such as listed above. The stores are brimming with V-Day candy, decorations, and cards. I understand that people don't know about this pagan holiday, but most do it in ignorance, and unfortunately the chocolate barons rake in millions of dollars every year around February 14th, even weeks before and after. This "festival" talks about love, but the love of money is the root of all evil.

This is one reason why the Bible should have never been taken out of the public schools. Nobody knows about this at all, and posts like this are often overlooked or ignored. How much, really, are we going to be held accountable before the Lord?

Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
