A group of Satanists recently killed one of their friends while allegedly trying to turn him into a vampire.
Charisma News reports that police in Mexico have arrested three
Satanists who reportedly killed a fellow Satanist while trying to turn
him into a vampire--a process that included beating, strangling, and
cutting the victim.
The victim, Edwin Juarez Palma, died from his injuries and his “friends” wrapped his body in a plastic bag and left him.
"Police say Edwin, known as Piwa, was killed after being fooled into
taking part in an initiation ceremony to become part of a satanic cult
called the Sons of Baphomet 1," the Daily Mail reports.
"Instead, he was tortured after having his hands tied behind his back
after one of the alleged killers persuaded the others their victim
should be sacrificed so he could return to life as a vampire."
Jennifer LeClaire of Charisma News warns of the growing numbers of Satanists and the dangers of this movement.
LeClaire cites shows like Fox’s Lucifer as evidence that
Satanism is rising, adding that “the distribution of Satanic Temple
materials in some schools and the Satanic black mass at an Oklahoma City
civic center and the monument to Baphomet in Detroit are other
examples.
LeClaire goes on to say that there are reportedly 200,000 registered
witches in the world and up to eight million who have not officially
revealed themselves.
“Dark forces are also invading Christianity,” says LeClaire. “Three out
of every 10 teenagers have played the Ouija board, had their palms
read, and eight out of 10 have read horoscopes, according to a Barna
Study called "Teens and the Supernatural." The survey reports 29 percent
of Christian teens did not see anything wrong with it. Eighteen percent
said they read horoscopes, but do not think it really predicts the
future. And another 8 percent said they read it, but feel guilty about
it.”
What can we as Christians do about this rise in evil?
“The Bible tells us the enemy is roaming around like a roaring lion
seeking someone to devour (1 Pet. 5:8),” says LeClaire. “The Bible tells
us we're wrestling with principalities and powers and rulers of
darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph. 6:12). Let's not
close our eyes to these things. Rather, let's watch and pray.”
