Life, they said, is just a dream. Only in death are we truly awake.
Let me say this, these sugar skulls, if it can't get any worse, they actually put the
names of their dead loved ones on the forehead of the skull, okay?
And to say that's him, that's her, that's the child, that's the person and what are
they doing? They think they're honoring but it's actually
the most dishonoring thing you can do. Ezekiel chapter number 6, verse number 4,
the Bible reads here, and your altar shall be desolate and your images shall be broken.
This is God speaking here. And I will cast down your slain men before
your idols and I will lay the dead carcasses of the children of Israel before their idols
and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
Verse 6, in all your dwelling places, the city shall be laid waste and the high places
shall be desolate, that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate and your idols
may be broken and cease and your images may be cut down and your works may be abolished.
He said, I'm going to scatter your bones, just like the day of the dead.
You know, it's, I mean, when you are following the traditions and rituals of a pagan people
and by the way, it is said that the Aztecs were the least, they're the most barbaric
out of all of the tribes. I mean, you have to be, if you're committing mass genocide
in huge numbers, but they're the ones who came up with this stuff. And we think that
we've gotten so much better and we know so much more. No, you're following pagans who
murdered their own children and sacrificed virgins.
Isaiah chapter number 11, another thing that they do is they make, what they do is they'll
go to the graveyards and they'll put what's called marigold flowers. You guys ever heard
of that? You'll see that a lot, these orange flowers that actually go from the graves all
the way up to the houses with candles. And what they believe, they basically say this,
they say, well, we're doing that to lead the spirits from the grave to our homes. I mean,
it's bad enough that they're evoking the spirits, right? But now they're actually leading, they
say, come, we're going to show you where it's at and they'll lead it and the streets will
be packed with flowers and candles to lead these spirits.
Well, look what Isaiah chapter number 11 says. Let me say this also, again, anytime God comes
up with an idea or a concept, Satan is just a copycat. All he does is just take God's
concepts and he perverts it. Isaiah 11 verse 10, the Bible says, in that day, there shall
be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people, to it shall the Gentiles
seek, and his rest shall be glorious. Who's that referring to? The Lord Jesus Christ.
And what does the Bible say about the Lord Jesus Christ? I am the way, the truth, and
the life, and no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. What does the Bible say in John
chapter 15? I am the what? True vine. And my father is the husband man. You know who's
the true flower? You know who's the mighty rose of Sharon, as they would say in that
song, is the Lord Jesus Christ. He's the one that guides us. Not some flowers that will
guide us to our home. No, he's the one that leads us. He's the one that shows us the way,
how to get to heaven. But not only that, after salvation, he's the one that leads us in this
world. The Bible says that the word of God is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our
path. Why? Because Jesus Christ is the word. And he's the one that leads us, not some flowers,
not some traditions that teach us something wrong to do. Go to Psalms chapter 23 and verse
number 4, the Bible says here, yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil. For thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
You see, the shepherd is the one who leads us. Not some flowers, not some candles,
not anything of that matter. It's the Lord, it's the shepherd. One of the things that you also see
during the day of the dead is this thing called pan de muertos. Okay, now I don't even know how
that can be appetizing when they tell you this is pan de muertos. Pan de muertos is dead bread or
bread of the dead. Okay, how would you even want to eat something like that today? Yes,
there's dead bread right here. You know, it's like, I don't want that. But what they do is
they make this thing called pan de muertos and they basically they put, they make it look like
it's bones. Okay, well, Luke 2 and 22 verse 19. And he took bread and gave thanks and break it
and gave it unto them saying, This is my body which is given for you, this do in remembrance
of me. Again, it's a concept that God came up with and what is saying to he perverts it.
And so what they do in the day of the dead is they have this bread and that's what they do.
They have a toll and they have bread and they eat that and they remember they're dead. Go to
Jeremiah chapter number seven. Jeremiah chapter number seven verse 18. The Bible says here the
children gather wood and the fathers kindle the fire and the women need their dough to make cakes
to to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings and to other gods that they may provoke
me to anger. So we see again, they're doing something that's ungodly. They're baking cakes,
they're kneading dough, but who is it for? For the queen of heaven, for some some some some devil.
And what does the Bible say about that? They're provoking God's anger.
You see, this isn't something God doesn't look down and say, well, you know, they're kumbayaing.
You know, everyone's living in peace. Everyone is in one accord. Everyone is just eating and
drinking and being married. I guess that's okay. No, what does he say? You guys are provoking me
to anger. This makes me angry because thou shall have no other gods before me, the Bible says.
And you know what? I hope people listen to this and realize whoever's practicing this,
that this is not for their deceased loved ones. This is not to honor their memory.
This is a worship of Satan and his devils.
Thank you.
