KTZ: Illuminati Clothing Line To The Stars

October 11, 2013 By Beginning and End 4 Comments

Rihanna and Kanye West have led the charge in wearing occult fashion.

With the abundance of satanic and occult imagery in videos and music over the past several years, it is hardly a surprise to see it spill to the world of fashion. KTZ or Kokon To Zai, is the latest high end designer fashion line to jump on the entertainment’s world’s trend of promoting esoteric symbols and the occult. And now many of the biggest stars in the world from Rihanna to Kanye West, are wearing this clothing line. KTZ along with several other brands are continuing the indoctrination of society into the occult and away from the knowledge of God.

Meaning ‘East meets West’ in Japanese, Kokon to Zai is a fashion label founded by Macedonian design team Marjan Pejoski and Sasha Bezovski following the success of their Soho boutique of the same name. Stockists of avant-garde designers such as Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and Jeremy Scott, Kokon to Zai’s own ready-to-wear for men and women has a heavy focus on bold print and colour and experimental silhouettes and is shown as part of London Fashion Week.

KTZ clothing made one of its first appearances when Illuminati superstar Rihanna was sporting her outfit at a basketball game. Beginning and End has covered Rihanna’s satanic lyrics and imagery extensively in two articles. Her outfit (shown above) featured a large pentagram or five pointed star, pointed down in the position of the Baphomet. The symbol of the pentagram is commonly used in witchcraft and magical rituals to summon demonic spirits. As Christian news site Cutting Edge reported:

“This Pentagram is a White Magic symbol used to conjure “angels” into this dimension.  Listen:  “The pentagram is among the most frequently used of magical symbols, and finds its way into a wide variety of different occult and esoteric sources … in a design for a secret fraternity called the Order of the Rosy Cross, in one of the magic tablets used by the occultist John Dee [1560's] for calling angels.” [Frederick Goodman, "Magic Symbols ", p. 148]

NOTE:  When an occultist believes he has conjured “angels” into this realm, the Bible scholar knows he has conjured up demons masquerading as angels! [2 Corinthians 11:14]” (source).

Since then Rihanna has become a poster-child for the clothing line:

What Does It All Mean?

Pop fashion, like this sweatshirt from British designer Kill Star, is becoming blatantly satanic.

“Symbolism is the language of the Mysteries; in fact it is the language not only of mysticism and philosophy but of all Nature, for every law and power active in universal procedure is manifested to the limited sense perceptions of man through the medium of symbol. Every form existing in the diversified sphere of being is symbolic of the divine activity by which it is produced. By symbols men have ever sought to communicate to each other those thoughts which transcend the imitations of language. Rejecting man-conceived dialects as inadequate and unworthy to perpetuate divine ideas, the Mysteries thus chose symbolism as a far more ingenious and ideal method of preserving their transcendental knowledge. In a single figure a symbol may both reveal and conceal, for to the wise the subject of the symbol is obvious, while to the ignorant the figure remains inscrutable. Hence, he who seeks to unveil the secret doctrine of antiquity must search for that doctrine not upon the open pages of books which might fall into the hands of the unworthy but in the place where it was originally concealed.” –Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages p. 38.

Manly P. Hall, 33rd degree Freemason who is considered by the organization to be one of their greatest members of all time, compiled an exhaustive encyclopedia of the occult called The Secret Teachings of All Ages in which he researched the various mystery religious traditions of the past several thousand years and concluded they are all concealing the same secret or “Great Arcana” (which in true occult fashion, is never actually revealed in the book) and leading society in the same direction: an age where a select few initiates will achieve god-like status on Earth all led by one special leader. In the quote above, he explains the importance of symbols to the occultist. Many Bible scholars believe that the use of symbols go all the way back to the tower of Babel – the first rebellion by man against God after the global flood:

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. – Genesis 11:1-9.

The tower was no mere monument. It was an attempt to unite the world in an occult world government against God. As a judgment for this sin, God confounded the single language of the people of the world. Suddenly, people who knew each other could no longer communicate because they did not speak the same language. As a result, the various people groups with common language were scattered all over the Earth by The Lord. It is believed that at this time, some in the occult started the use of symbols as a common language to be used among the initiates, that could cross the divinely-imposed language barrier.
Why Are So Many Symbols Being Used Today?

The gradual evolution of individual’s thought processes to where his/her mind is naturally thinking in tune with the desired thought pattern consistent with the New World Order. The objective is to so thoroughly condition people that they will not realize that their thinking is being framed by any outside agency or people; rather, they will think that their thoughts are spontaneous. This is known as the “Evolution Of Human Thought”. (Alice Bailey,The Externalisation Of The Hierarchy,  p. 588).

Alice Bailey, an Illuminati New Age Movement founder and disciple of Helena Blavatsky, wrote a book called The Externalisation Of The Hierarchy which laid out the plan to usher in the New World Order in which the New Age and occult movement was the dominant religion of the world. Channeling a demonic spirit to write her book, Bailey said that in order for the Hierarchy – the fallen angelic and demonic beings who commune with magic practitioners, to truly return to the world openly and usher in the New World Order, there needed to be a “paradigm shift” in society, where the masses abandoned Christianity and Biblical principles in favor of New Age mysticism. All to help invoke the “New Age Christ” – a false messiah-figure who would lead all people to world peace, one religion, one unified world government and immortality.
Bailey predicted that the paradigm shift would occur throughout the twentieth century, as those who follow the ancient mystery religions slowly and subtly share their secrets with society at large. A process of indoctrination done through promoting the occult, witchcraft and mysticism by making them trendy and appealing to the average person. And today whether it is rock music, hip hop or bubble gum pop, there is no shortage of artists who have lined up to use esoteric and occult symbols in their music and videos.

The designers of KTZ were not oblivious to this at all. In fact, their clothing is directly inspired by the occult  practices. As stated in an article reviewing their clothing line:

This year’s Autumn-Winter women’s ready-to-wear collection was inspired by the Occult and the tarot deck, or Marjor Arcana. Head designer Koji Maruyama told Sleek he was inspired by a deck he has owned since childhood.
“It’s quite direct but it’s from this tarot pack that I have been using since I was 11, which I still have. I have been really interested in symbolism for a while now, probably since school, but AW13 really started with this William Blake illustrated tarot card that I found during the design process for the SS13 women’s collection”
From the hanged man to the lovers, death and temperance, the devil and the hierophant; KTZ presented a dark, theatrical collection typically dripping with symbolism in a palette of fabrics running through leather, wool and PVC to chenille, silks, lamé and organza. The girls could have marched straight out of the restricted section of the library to pounding Diplo (a characteristic KTZ flourish); a coven of streetwise Satanists. (source) [Emphasis added].

So the designer of the clothing line openly states that his inspiration was the tarot, which he has been using since he was a child. Tarot cards are cards with distinct designs on them that are used by those involved in the practice of the occult to try and see into the future. The Bible is clear that this is a clear sin:

When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. – Deuteronomy 18:9-13.

At this time in ancient Israelite history, the Promised Land was occupied by the Canaanites, nations who were steeped in the worship of demons, fallen angels and Satan. Thus God gave the Israelites very detailed rules for making sure they did not fall into the sinful rebellion of these people. The use of tarot cards is a form of divination and the Bible is clear that this practice is an abomination to Him. Whether it is tarot cards, a Ouija board or going to a medium, all these practices involve summoning demonic spirits. The Lord, in His love for humanity, gives stern warning to avoid these beings at all costs. But as all humans are born with a sin nature that tends to rebellion, many have fallen for the seduction of the occult. The book of Ephesians explains the spiritual battle taking place for the hearts and minds of those who are not born again Christians:

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) – Ephesians 2:1-5.

The unsaved world – people who do not believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins, are being led by spirits under the authority of satan. The Scripture above refers to the Devil as “the prince of the power of the air” indicating Satan’s temporary power and earthly influence. The spirit of Satan wants the heart and mind of a human being not to focus on him (not yet), but instead to focus on themselves. To serve their own desires and have no regard for the judgment of God, the Bible or any concept of sin and eternal damnation. This same spiritual influence once led all Christians – whether it’s pastors, Sunday school teachers or this author. But when a person believes in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who died for the sins of the world on the cross and rose again on the third day, they receive a new spirit. And this spirit, made from God, seeks to serve and please God rather than oneself and our sinful desires. This is the meaning of being born again. And the former corrupted spirit, dies forever.
This is the truth that Satan seeks to hide from the world. The Bible says: “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” (2 Corinthians 4:3-4).

Pop culture been a major tool to keep society blinded from the Gospel and focused on wealth, sex, violence, drugs and all manner of rebellion. And the fashion industry has now joined in by bringing the ancient symbols of the occult to clothing as the world is further prepared to worship the false messiah, the Antichrist, satanically-empowered leader who will rule the world in the final 3 ½ years before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to Earth.

The Hierophant tarot card designed by satanist Aleister Crowley.

Koji Maruyama, the chief designer of KTZ used a design from a tarot card called “The Hierophant.” This tarot card was designed by Satanist Aleister Crowley. Beginning and End has extensively documented Crowley’s influence on 20th century pop culture. A 33rd degree Freemason, occult practitioner and enemy of Christianity, Crowley called himself “The Beast” and “666” both references to the Antichrist from the Bible. He encouraged witchcraft, drug use, sexual promiscuity and pedophilia. In his book The World’s Tragedy Crowley proclaimed his hatred of Christianity and desire to destroy it.
And this is one of the main influences for the KTZ clothing line. In his interview on his inspiration, Maruyama once again showed his link to Crowley’s legacy:

While I was working on this collection I also saw the Kenneth Anger exhibition in Paris…such beautiful, magical visuals. Then suddenly all my friends were into tarot cards and started using them every day! That made me feel very sure about my direction. All of the working process became so real. (source).

Kenneth Anger, sporting his ‘Lucifer’ tattoo, was part of the inspiration for KTZ.

Movie director Kenneth Anger, an open Crowley Disciple was the director of such occult inspired films as Lucifer Rising. KTZ paid tribute to Crowley not only in using his tarot designs, but by referencing The Order of The Golden Dawn, an occult secret society which Crowley belonged to an brought to prominence in the late 19th century. As Beginning and End detailed in the article “Illuminati Shoutout: R&B Singer Ciara Promotes Satanist Aleister Crowley In New Video”, we showed clips from the singer’s newest videos where she wears an enormous coat and boots emblazoned with “The Hermetic Order of The Golden Dawn.”

Even Ciara’s boots were promoting the satanic ideas of Aleister Crowley.

The outfits were designed by KTZ. So again, the satanic influence is clear. Even a secular news article recognized the connection:

One of the more robust looks included an embroidered shearling jumper dress with matching thigh-highs, vinyl gloves and horned tortoiseshell glasses, incorporating perhaps the strongest aspect of the collection; the Gothic serif type and Roman numeral motif. Slogans like Death, Magician and Golden Dawn were embroidered flush down sleeves, legs, collars and one right shirt breast; street-wear for the club-kid children of Aleister Crowley. (source).

Since Rihanna debuted their clothing, many celebrities have now embraced KTZ clothing for their public appearances.

Choose Eternal Life

“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” – John 3:17.

Pray for the designers of this clothing line and others that are promoting the occult to repent and stop being pawns in the spiritual war taking place for the hearts and minds of society. Many people are worried about their future and their fate. Many people want answers to the confounding questions of life. That is natural. But the solution is not magic or mystical practices. It is the cross that provides the answer to the greatest problem facing humanity: our sin. Satan’s chief desire is to use people for his own ends even if it means they end up in the Lake of Fire for eternity with him. Jesus Christ’s mission in His ministry on Earth was to fulfill God The Father’s plan of salvation from the beginning of time and give His own life to suffer in the place of all people for their sins. And rather than keep it a secret, He instructed all believers to proclaim His message of love and forgiveness all over the world. If you are not a Christian, Lord willing your eyes are being opened to the occult initiation taking place all throughout pop culture. It may seem subtle but its ultimate goal is rebellion against the one true God. Choose eternal life and believe in Jesus Christ. If you are already a Christian, continue to share the Gospel in love and let your words and actions be a symbol that points people to the real Truth: all can be forgiven in Jesus Christ.

Ke$ha’s ‘Dancing With The Devil’ – The Price of Selling One’s Soul

http://beginningandend.com/kehas-dancing-with-the-devil-the-price-of-selling-ones-soul/   

May 21, 2013 By Beginning and End 9 Comments

Ke$ha pledges allegiance in her latest song.

Beginning and End covered pop superstar Ke$ha’s blasphemous video for the song “Die Young”, which featured hundreds of upside down crosses, a church being destroyed and a slew of occult and satanic symbols. While some wrote the video off as a publicity stunt or “spoof” we chronicled that through this young singer’s career, she has been a major promoter of sinful rebellion against God and the video was just her natural progression and not a stunt. With the release of her song “Dancing With The Devil” Ke$ha further confirms the goal of many Illuminati artists today: allegiance to Satan in exchange for material wealth and fame.

The Song

The song proclaims what was suspected all along.

The song, a previously unreleased, “B-side” track from Ke$ha’s Warrior album, is an ode to Satan, in which Ke$ha proclaims her “deal with the devil.”

And here are the lyrics:
I keep on dancing with the Devil
I keep on dancing with the Devil
I sold my soul, ain’t no turning back
I keep on dancing with the Devil
You and I made a deal
I was young and shit got real
Weaving through Heaven and back
Whoaaa
Your love is made of dirty gold
But I’m the one who sold my soul
So go ahead and take my hand
Whoaaa
I keep on dancing with the Devil
I keep on dancing with the Devil
I sold my soul, it’s a dead-end road
But there ain’t no turning back
I keep on dancing with the Devil
Hey-heey-hey
I can’t escape my filthy past
I made mistakes, I made ‘em last
I know you love to watch me cry
Whoaaa
So while I’m yours until the end
A holy war, I’ll never win
So I’ll keep dancing ’til I die
Whoaaa
I keep on dancing with the Devil
I keep on dancing with the Devil
I sold my soul, it’s a dead-end road
But there ain’t no turning back
I keep on dancing with the Devil
Hey-heey-hey
He’s got my mind (You got..)
He’s got my soul (..Hell to pay)
My… he won’t let me go!
I keep on dancing with the Devil
I keep on dancing with the Devil
I sold my soul, it’s a dead-end road
But there ain’t no turning back
I keep on dancing with the Devil
Hey-heey-hey

The lyrics of the song are as blatant as one can get.  Shouting that Satan has her soul and mind, “he won’t let me go!” and “there ain’t no turning back”, it’s clear that the song is celebrating an allegiance to the Devil.  The idea of “selling one’s soul to the devil” is the giving of one’s life to Satan for riches and success. In our article Mercedes Benz’ Satanic Super Bowl Ad- Selling Your Soul To The Devil we detailed  a commercial that promoted the same idea. The article also noted the many artists in pop music from Kanye West to Bob Dylan who have proclaimed to have sold their soul to Satan on camera. In the case of Ke$ha, our previous article noted that her music from the start of her career  focused on rebellion. Promoting underage drinking, rampant sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, violence and cannibalism, this artist, who is very popular with young children, has been spreading the message of sin with no regards for consequences to society. Her own comments mimicked the motto of satanist Aleister Crowley who said “Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law” – an exhortation to fulfill every sinful lust with no concern for God’s judgment and wrath.

Ke$ha uses many occult themes in her performance.

Her song “Die Young” embodied this message as it not only encouraged sinful behavior, but had a chorus that repeats over and over “we’re gonna die young.” The Bible is clear that sinful behavior is a process: “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” (James 1:14-15). Scripture describes lust as first being “conceived”, then leading to sinful behavior and ultimately deadly consequences. In this case, it is spiritual death.
The more a person is willing to ignore God’s Word and follow Satan, the deeper into outright rebellion they fall. Humans, because of our natural sinful nature, are born with an inclination towards sin. The book of Jeremiah says: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9). It is the light of God’s goodness and the Gospel that can give us a right spirit from God and forgiveness for our sins. But embracing sin can lead to becoming what the Bible terms a “reprobate” – someone so far into rebellion that God removes His remaining influence in their lives and turns them over to their sinful desires:

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. – Romans 1:18-25.

In our first article on Ke$ha, we detailed the “spirit journey” she took in preparation for her most recent album, a vacation that plunged her into the occult practices. The picture she tweeted while on her trip is below:

The “Spirit Journey” clearly took Ke$ha deeper into the occult.

Here is an image of the Baphomet Sigil, matching the earring Ke$ha wears in the photo.


When a person continually rebels against God, the occult and satanic worship is never far behind. As the Bible passage above stated, people will take the glory they should be giving to The Lord Jesus Christ and instead worship idols, whether it be in the form of witchcraft, false religions, Wicca or other pagan spirituality. Ke$ha also stated in an interview that she was hypnotized for “past life regression therapy” – an attempt to use a hypnotist to return to “former lives” one has lived before (this is another deeply occultic practice based on the false notion of reincarnation). In the photo above,  Ke$ha wore an earring with a Baphomet Sigil symbol and a lightning bolt, a symbol for Satan, on her forehead, in the place of the pineal gland also known in the occult as “the third eye.” Anton LaVey, the author of the Satanic bible wrote this with respect to Baphomet:

“The symbol of Baphomet was used by the Knights Templar to represent Satan. Through the ages this symbol has been called by many different names. Among these are: The Goat of Mendes, The Goat of a Thousand Young, The Black Goat, The Judas Goat, and perhaps the most appropriately, The Scapegoat.”  (source).

This is what the Bible means when it says “worshiping the creature rather than the Creator.” And this can happen to any person who openly rebels against The Lord. Satan was a created being who was once a good angel in God’s service. But the Bible teaches that it was pride that led to his fall into evil. Despite his deceptions, he has no power over The Lord and was defeated on the cross when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, gave His life for the sins of humanity. This is why Jesus was able to say: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16). Faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life has power over any “deal” one makes with Satan. Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, reclaimed authority over the universe in His victorious resurrection from the dead. When He appeared to His disciples He told them: “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” (Matthew 28:18). Anyone who believes in Jesus Christ is saved from the clutches of sin, any deal with Satan and forgiven because Jesus took the wrath of God in that person’s place.
And this is the truth Satan wants to hide from the world. And the Bible is clear that the Devil will use “any means” in order to deceive people from knowing the truth of the Gospel. And the use of entertainment and pop music is a powerful weapon in Satan’s arsenal. Still possessing temporary authority in this world, Satan can elevate those who pledge their allegiance to him, making them “stars” (a term the Bible uses for angels) and the envy of society. In Ke$ha’s case the lure of wealth, fame and power sealed the deal. Romans Chapter 1 continues in its description of this descent into satanic worship:

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. – Romans 1:26-32.

Ke$ha and her dancer both wearing satanic Baphomet symbols.

With millions of fans across the world, Ke$ha has used her influence to promote debauchery and evil even making songs about killing and eating her boyfriend. This is the sign of a reprobate. It is interesting to note that during her “spirit journey” she also claimed at this time to have had a sexual experience with a demon. Homosexuality and deviant sexual behavior are also normally involved in satanic ritual and initiation. R&B singer Omarion, in a rare, candid interview, hinted at this unspoken topic in the music industry:

“I think there’s a very dark and very sinister part of the entertainment business and I think it’s very visible,” he said. “This is something that a lot of people don’t look at [but for example] Michael Jackson used to be a Jehovah’s Witness and I remember hearing that he wanted to separate from the religion — and this was during the time that he was doing ‘Thriller’ [which ended up being] his biggest album.”
“Fast forward to now,” Omarion continued, “[and] it really made me think that there is a [time as an artist] where there’s going to be a choice. The [entertainment] world [dictates] that you have to be with three or four women, or do this in order to get that [and] I think it’s really interesting. With God and the industry, it’s really dark. The dark side is having to get in, there’s a certain submission you need to have. Just like a gang [initiation], so to speak. You might have to do something against your moral code. I’m not saying that it’s always this way, but when you’re someone that is young and you’re coming up in the industry and you really don’t have a grip on your morals it can be very dark. The game is just about over saturation.” (source).

Satanic Spirits In Entertainment

What spirit inspired this performance?

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. – Ephesians 2:1-3.
“and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” – 1 John 5:19.

Many people in society, dazzled and enamored with the bright lights and glamor of celebrity and superstars, have let the values and ideas  promoted in pop culture shape their own lives.  Despite her obvious promotion of amoral behavior, Ke$ha is now being praised because of her commercial success, as a positive example for women and girls. In an article entitled: “Ke$ha Emerges As a Positive Female Role Model” the author praises Ke$ha on the basis of making lots of money. And with respect to her raunchy music, lyrics and appearance, it is now seen as a step forward for women’s equality. The author in particular praises this quote from Ke$ha:

“She confronts double standards head-on.
Responding to criticism that her songs feature an unladylike amount of drugs and sex, Ke$ha responded: “If men can talk about drinking in every awesome rock ‘n’ roll song and every awesome rap song, why can’t a woman? Just because I drink doesn’t mean I’m a drunk. Just because I have sex, and I’m not embarrassed doesn’t mean I’m a whore.” (source).

Ke$ha says her style helps women’s equality.

Boasting of one’s promiscuity has now been taken as a virtue. And parents have not only embraced these ideas and music, they are forcing it on their children. There is a staggering amount of parents who have clearly coached and instructed their children who are as young as 2 and 3 years old, to memorize Ke$ha’s lyrics and perform for them on camera so they can post it to Youtube   (and of course some churches have joined in as well).  Where is parental discernment? If children this young are being raised memorizing this kind of music, is there a godly influence in the home? What spirit will be leading them? As the verse above from Ephesians 2 states, the spirits of the “prince of the power of the air” (a title for the Devil) operates in those who are unsaved and do not believe in Jesus Christ for salvation. And this spirit flourishes even more when people are led into more sinful rebellion against The Lord. To the point that a parent would want and even make their children listen to an artist like Ke$ha.

Ke$ha, here at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, is a favorite among children and pre-teens.

This is why the Bible says: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” (Isaiah 5:20-21).  Society continues to reject God and replace Biblical values with worldly, sinful pleasure and calling that good. 


Not The First Ode To The Devil
Dancing With The Devil, is not even Ke$ha’s first song that directly references Satan. In our first article we noted that she performed a song called “What Baby Wants” with heavy metal rocker Alice Cooper. In the song, which is supposed to be a dialogue between Cooper and Satan, the singer chose Ke$ha to sing the lyrics of the Devil. Ke$ha also made a song called Run Devil Run. As singer Omarion noted above, there is a ‘dark side’ to the music industry. And a submission to its rules and requirements can lead to embracing satanic worship and promotion and truly making a deal to sell one’s soul.
To no surprise, Ke$ha was assigned to produce music with Luasz Gottwald , aka “Dr. Luke” a megahit producer who has been behind the hits of Katy Perry, Brittney Spears, Kelly Clarkson and many other pop stars. After the Sandy Hook shooting, in which 20-year old Adam Lanza allegedly shot up an elementary school murdering young children and teachers before taking his own life, Ke$ha received backlash for her Die Young song which dominated the airwaves at that time. She then tweeted that she was forced to sing the lyrics of the song:

Within 24 hours the tweet was deleted and Ke$ha backtracked, saying that she was not forced:

“After such a tragic event I was feeling a lot of emotion and sadness when I said I was forced to sing some of the lyrics to ‘Die Young.’ Forced is not the right word,” Ke$ha wrote on her website. “I did have some concerns about the phrase ‘die young’ in the chorus when we were writing the lyrics especially because so many of my fans are young and that’s one reason why I wrote so many versions of this song.” (source).

Her sudden turnaround reflects the control and power in the music industry that Omarion alluded to. Artists who become superstars will often find themselves under the complete control of music industry heads. A similar situation occurred in 2012 when rapper 50 Cent decided to challenge Interscope Records head Jimmy Iovine via Twitter. Upset with the management of his albums and the leaking of one of his songs, the rapper decided to brag about making a song insulting Iovine and producer Dr. Dre on twitter.  Shortly afterwards, 50 Cent, who has made a career off of promoting how “gangsta” and tough he is, then posted a cryptic tweet indicating that he did not expect to “live much longer.”

50 Cent took to Twitter when he was worried about dying.

Something or someone had gotten to the multi-platinum selling artist, actor and mogul that he predicted his death and no desire to promote his own music. A week later he was also was forced to apologize on Twitter for his actions:

“Discovered a computer glitch leaked my song. Sorry to team at interscope for over reacting!”
“I put a lot in to this project but I don’t care if it ever comes out. Jimmy iovine has been like a mentor for me. I just want to stay friends.” (source).

With all the fame, wealth and worldly pleasure they could ever desire, these artists are still living in fear of the “powers that be.” And this is just the type of “deal” Satan is looking to make – one that leaves the person unfulfilled, miserable and often dying young. And despite this, many people, young and old still seek their chance in the limelight. An aspiring rapper even murdered his best friend in an effort to make an “Illuminati sacrifice.” It is this type of evil, rebellion out of covetousness and a desire to make money that Satan, the true head of the Illuminati desires. Do not be deceived.
Songs like Dancing With The Devil are examples of the blatant occult influence in today’s music. The artists and entertainment companies are no longer leaving any options for fans: the pop music of today is filled with promotion of fornication, violence, the occult and satanic worship. Parents, who should be keeping their children far from this type of “entertainment” are instead forcing it upon their own children.  As a Christian, supporting and listening to this music should obviously be recognized as a sin. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ and think listening to music about the Devil and sin is okay, remember the words of 1 Corinthians 10 : “Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.”
Pray for this artist to repent and stop making music that is leading many hearts and minds to embrace sin and Satan. And also pray for parents to wake up and realize what they are doing to indoctrinate their children into rebellion. God has offered a real “transaction” in the form of a covenant with all people: it is the guarantee of being freed from slavery to sin and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. And this was proven through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and His resurrection. But it takes faith to believe in Jesus for that forgiveness. Millions of people put their faith, love and trust in pop stars, the idols of modern times. Adorning their walls with their images, collecting every song and piece of information they can on them and hanging on their every word. And these entertainers are promoting a system that leads directly to Hell. It is time to start putting faith where it belongs, in the God of the universe, who will punish Satan and all those who foolishly chose to follow him. But offers forgiveness to those willing to confess their sin and look to Jesus Christ.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” – Jesus Christ, John 6:47.

Kanye West’s “Yeezus”: New Album Mocks Jesus Christ – Pays Tribute To The Antichrist?

The artwork for Kanye’s new album, entitled ‘Yeezus.’

Superstar rapper Kanye West has reignited his blasphemy of Jesus Christ with his new album entitled ‘Yeezus.’ The name, a play on the rapper’s nickname ‘Yeezy’ and the name of The Lord Jesus Christ, is just the latest in direct insults this artist has made to the Christian faith. And not only has he once again compared himself to Jesus Christ with his latest album, West also gave a subtle nod to the Antichrist.
According to reports:

A pre-order page for Kanye West’s sixth solo album went up on iTunes and KanyeWest.com today, Pitchfork reports, before both were quickly taken down. The briefly-public pre-order details provide the most reliable confirmation that the album title is Yeezus, a pun on the rapper’s nickname “Yeezy” and Jesus.
The pre-order page listed 14 tracks without their titles, and including June 18th release date. Although West hasn’t explicitly confirmed when he’s releasing the album, he did fuel speculation earlier this month on Twitter after posting “June 18″ (which he has since deleted). Girlfriend Kim Kardashian and co-manager Don C also posted cryptic social media messages, including an Instagram picture apparently depicting the album artwork, that suggested the June 18th album release date. (source).

Beginning and End exposed the blatant satanic and Illuminati imagery and influence in the music of Kanye West in our article “The Rise And Fall of Kanye West: Illuminati Superstar.”  In it we showed how from the onset of his career, West became more blatant in his disrespect for Christianity and embrace of the occult.
History of Blasphemy against Jesus Christ

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. – Galatians 6:7.

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. – Exodus 20:7.


But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: – Matthew 15:18.

Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. – Psalm 74:18.

Webster’s 1828 Dictionary, which was based on the English of the King James Bible defines blasphemy as:  “An indignity offered to God by words or writing; reproachful, contemptuous or irreverent words uttered impiously against Jehovah.” Insulting the name of God or Jesus Christ is not something taken lightly by The Lord.  Yet entertainers today remove any stigma from disrespecting the Christian faith and instead turn it into entertainment.  Wit superstar status and fame, it is only a matter of time before their fans  follow suit and have their own attitudes adjusted and shifted to accept this blasphemous behavior without even realizing it.


As noted in our first article, West made one of his early blasphemies against Jesus by depicting himself as the crucified Jesus on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. But this was only the beginning. Some of his other mockery of the Christian faith:

“I got the Jesus on a chain that don’t mean sh—“ (Put On ).
“Sunday morning, praise the Lord
You the girl that Jesus had been saving me for
So let’s savor this moment, and take it to the floor
Black excellence, truly yours” (Murder to Excellence).

Additionally, West has been using “Yeezus” as his nickname for some time. Here is a tweet from 2012 from rapper Kid Cuddi  using West’s blasphemous moniker:


No Church In The Wild

Kanye West, left, wearing shirt with Baphomet design, performs with his mentor, Jay-Z.

No Church In The Wild, a song he collaborated with occult and Freemasonic promoter Jay-Z, was a reference to there being no place for Christianity in the “wild” where real stars like Jay-Z and Kanye inhabit. They collaborated on the song with singer Frank Ocean of the group Odd Future, a rap group who we featured in our article “Antichrist Generation: Tyler The Creator Leads Pop Music’s Open Blasphemy”. Ocean, who sings he hook, recites the following lyrics:
Human beings in a mob
What’s a mob to a king?
What’s a king to a god?
What’s a god to a non-believer?
Who don’t believe in anything?
This portion of the song is repudiation of a concept called the Great Chain of Being, a hierarchy created by ancient philosophers and theologians that places God above all created beings. But in the song God is no match for a non-believer, who denies God’s existence. And thus for those have “no church” they are superior over all.
Psalm 14 says: “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.” It truly is folly for created human beings to believe they are “gods” in their own right. But when one is blinded by their own sinful nature, immense wealth and status, it is easy to  ignore the Gospel of salvation in Christ and ensnared in Satan’s clutches.

In Jay-Z’s verse, he insults Jesus Christ:
Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy, laid beats
Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats
Preach
The inference from these verses is that Jesus, rather than being the Son of God and Savior of the world, was a “carpenter.” This rejection of faith in Christ as the Son of God attempts to minimize Him to the level of mere man. Jay-Z goes even further by then comparing Kanye, aka “Yeezy” to Jesus by saying West “laid beats” a euphemism for producing music. This same denial of Christ was something The Lord Jesus encountered in Matthew 13:

And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. – Matthew 13:54-58.

Atheists, deists and Bible skeptics take note – if there is just a desire to mock or refute Jesus in your heart, do not be surprised when you do not feel His presence in your life. Christ did not do great works where the was rampant unbelief. And this song is a proclamation of unbelief.

Jay-Z who calls himself “Jay-Hova” as a mockery of the name of God the Father, started this trend of taking on the name of God. It is all from a belief system that deludes celebrities and many others into believing they are gods or are on the path to god-hood. For high level initiates into the New Age movement and Freemasonry alike the goal is god-hood. This delusion is the same lie that Satan used in the garden of Eden to lure Eve into sin. The Secret, one of the best-selling New Age books of all time, also teaches this concept. All three carry the same message:

“You are God in a physical body. You are Spirit in the flesh. You are Eternal Life expressing itself as you.” (The Secret, p. 164).

“Now the serpent [Satan] was more [subtle] than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods..” – Genesis 3:1-5.

“Take over, the wait’s over,
The God MC, Me-Jay Hova..” – (Takeover, Jay-Z).

Here are excerpts from Kanye’s verse in “No Church In The Wild”:
We formed a new religion
No sins as long as there’s permission’
And deception is the only felony
So never f– nobody wit’out tellin’ me
The running theme of the song – the rejection of Christianity and elevation of themselves as the Godhead, continues. And like so many deceived occultists before them, Kanye promotes the idea of love or sexual relation as the real “law” of life. This completely aligns with the teachings of Satanist and black magick practitioner Aleister Crowley. Crowley, who referred to himself as “The Beast”, “666” and was declared the wickedest man on the planet, has been one of the most influential figures in pop culture as his philosophy of rejecting God and pursuing every sinful desire in pure rebellion has inspired entertainers from Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Ozzy Osbourne all the way to pop stars today like Ke$ha.

Kanye West’s music embraces the sinful philosophies of Aleister Crowley.

His dark spiritual path started after a trip to Egypt where he claimed to channel the Egyptian god Thoth. Crowley’s most quoted statement, “Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law” has a double meaning. It is an exhortation to enjoy every vice and sinful pleasure one desires. In the next sentence he wrote: “Lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture. Fear not that any God shall deny thee for this .” This is the essence of satanic rebellion – pursuing any desire with no fear of God. But the occult meaning of “Do what thou wilt” is to use the power of “the will” (through aid of occult means and magic) to achieve whatever goal one has. And here is Jay-Z, aka Jay-Hova, wearing a shirt that is a tribute to Crowley:

Jay-Z wearing his “Do what thou wilt” shirt.

Crowley described “love” as the most important aspects of what he called “the law”:

“Also, take your fill and will of love as ye will, when, where and with whom ye will! But always unto me… Love is the law, love under will.” -The Book of the Law I:51, 57

Notice the emphasis on promiscuous sex being “love.” And Crowley says that the initiate should do it with whom they will but “always unto me”, the same exact message West gives in his lyrics in No Church In The Wild:
We formed a new religion
No sins as long as there’s permission’
And deception is the only felony
So never f– nobody wit’out tellin’ me
West continues in the song:
Two tattoos, one read “No Apologies”
The other said “Love is cursed by monogamy”
That’s somethin’ that the pastor don’t preach

As is the case with a person who denies God, there is no repentance (“no apologies”). This message is being blasted into the audience of pop culture today with phrases like “You Only Live Once” (or “Yolo”), “We’re Gonna Die Young!” and other mottos designed to encourage a life of seeking pleasure, rejecting authority and having no concern for an afterlife. Artists like Kanye West are able to send this message through their demonically-inspired lyrics and constant promotion of their material success – riding in luxury cars, wearing designer clothes and endlessly bragging about the millions of dollars they have made. And this is all a satanic deception.
The Bible prophesied that society would be led from God and into rebellion as we approach the end times:

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. – 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

West, driving a $1.7M Mercedes Benz, has no trouble attracting the attention of his adoring followers.

This passage sums up the constant message being pumped out of hip hop culture and pop music perfectly. Like Kanye West, people have focused on self-love and vanity and reckless disregard for consequences of their action. West’s music is an extreme form of being a “lover of pleasure more than lover of God.” And Scripture is clear that we are to avoid this type of influence.
The passage from 2 Timothy continues:

“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their’s also was.” - 2 Timothy 3:6-9.

Certainly millions of women (and men) have been captivated by the “spell” of Jay-Z, Kanye West and Jay-Z’s protégé, Rihanna.  Across the planet millions of fans literally idolize these artists, plastering their walls with their image, listening to their music daily, following their social network updates and passionately promoting and defending their false gods on the web. All based on their desire to be these artists and live the lavish lifestyle constantly bragged about on their records.
“Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
Verse 7 then says that those in rebellion like West are “ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” The occult is all based on the acquisition of “secret knowledge.” In fact, the word “occult” means “secret.” From the Garden of Eden, Satan was able to tempt Eve into sin by offering hidden wisdom – by implying that God was withholding the true purpose of the fruit of the forbidden tree – that it could make her a “god.” And Satan’s strategy has not changed today as those in the occult, New Age movement or other similar doctrine, seek to reach higher levels or degrees in their quest for the ultimate secret or acquisition of immortality and godhood. But in all their learning, they fail to come to the real truth: there is only one God and there is only one way to salvation: Jesus Christ. The information of the mystery schools was provided by fallen angels and demons, all created beings. Meanwhile the occultist foolishly ignores the Creator of all, the God of the Bible (the real Jehovah).
“Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.”
Jannes and Jambres were the two Egyptian sorcerers who had a duel of supernatural feats with Moses in the book of Exodus. Moses, sent by God to confront the Pharaoh of Egypt and demand the release of the then-enslaved Israelites, was empowered by God to perform miracles before the Egyptian King:

“And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.” – Exodus 7:8-12.

The sorcerers Jannes and Jambres thought they could equal God’s power because they had knowledge of magic. But the serpents they created were consumed by the serpent of Moses and Aaron. Recall that Crowley had his first demonic encounter in Egypt, which was the centerpiece of the ancient world of satanic, occult magic. Today, those who promote the occult and Crowley’s anti-Christian philosophy still seek to contend with God and anyone who promotes faith in Jesus Christ by worshiping the creature (themselves, money, fame, demonic forces etc.) rather than the Creator (Jesus Christ).
New God Flow

The album cover for Kanye’s song where he once again compares himself to God.

In 2012, Kanye also released a song called “New God Flow” again referencing himself as god. Here are some of the lyrics from the song:
Welcome to Sunday service if you hope to someday serve us
We got green in our eyes, follow my Erick Sermon
Did Moses not part the water with the cane?
Did strippers not make an ark when I made it rain?
Once again, Kanye asserts himself as being on the level of Biblical figures by comparing his throwing money at strippers (“making it rain”) to Moses parting the Red Sea at the Exodus and The Lord bringing the flood in the days of Noah.
Did Yeezy not get signed by Hov and Dame?
And went to Jacob and made the new Jesus chains?
In Jesus name, let the choir say
“I’m on fire ay,” that’s what Richard Pryor say

West then mocks Christian prayer (which is done in the name of Jesus) to promote his own success. Isaiah 45:9 says: “Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?”  Those who continually challenge, mock and disrespect The Lord are only bringing more of God’s just wrath down upon them.
And yet, millions of people all over the world are singing these lyrics every day, pulling heir hearts deeper into sinful rebellion. And all of this is a part of Satan’s plan. Because the Devil seeks to usurp The Lord and copy Him in every way, he is preparing the world for his own “seed” to rule over the masses: the Antichrist.
Antichrist Tribute?

The projection shown on 66 buildings for Kanye’s single “New Slaves” off of his 6th album.

Adding to the satanic nature of this new album, Kanye West used a unique promotional event to launch his first single “New Slaves” off of the Yeezus album. This album, which is West’s 6th, had the new single premiere via a projection broadcast on 66 buildings all over the world:

Kanye West gave the world its first official taste of his new album on Friday night by projecting the new song “New Slaves” along with visuals on buildings across the globe. The video was projected at various times throughout the night on 66 buildings in cities including New York, Toronto, Chicago, London, Paris and Berlin. In West’s hometown of Chicago, it was projected on a wall of Wrigley Field; in Toronto, on the Royal Ontario Museum; and in New York, Kanye’s face appeared on the wall of a 5th Avenue Prada store, among other locations. (source).

So the 6th album is being featured on 66 buildings – was this a subtle allusion to the number 666? That number is the ‘number of the Beast’ or Antichrist, in Scripture:

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. – Revelation 13:16-18.

The Antichrist is the satanically empowered false Messiah who will rule over the world for the final 3 ½ years before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. And his goal will be to proclaim himself God. Just as these artists today flaunt themselves as god-like, the Antichrist will truly proclaim himself a deity and demand worship under penalty of death. And his signifying number will be 666.
In their article “Occultists Worship Numbers”, Cutting Edge Ministries writes:

“Occultists place much faith in the inherent power of numbers. No plan of action can be carried out without first determining two things: Is the timing of this plan of action in accordance with the astrological lineup of the stars, moons, and planets? Is the timing of this plan of action in accordance with the numbers it will produce? This process is “Divination” and is specifically prohibited by God. (Deut 18:10-11).” (source).

Not only did Kanye generate a 666 by his special release of his song, the album itself is being released on June 18th. So the 6th album is being released in the 6th month on a day that is 6+6+6 (18). When a person is deep in sinful rebellion and under the influence of the “prince of the power of the air”, these coincidences become more and more common.
The Antichrist will also be an extreme blasphemer of God and Jesus Christ:

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. – Revelation 13:5-7.

Just proclaiming himself god will not be enough. The Antichrist will publicly blaspheme God, Jesus and all Christians, to the world. And then he will proceed to wage war to wipe out all believers in Jesus Christ (“the saints”). And today the seeds of the false gospel of the antichrist are being planted as blasphemy against God, which was once considered completely inappropriate, has now become cool and a form of entertainment. It has become completely acceptable to mock, insult or denigrate the name of Jesus Christ in society. Schools have gone out of their way to remove references to God or the Bible from their classrooms. And the message of “do what thou wilt” has been preached in numerous forms through movies, music, television and the internet.
Why The Name Of Jesus Must Be Attacked

Satan knows the real truth of God and eternal life are here.

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. – Matthew 1:21.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.. – John 1:12.
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. – John 20:31.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. – Acts 4:12.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. – Philippians 2:9-11.

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. – 1 John 5:13.

The most exalted name on Earth is the name of The Lord Jesus Christ. And this is the only name that can be called on for salvation. There is no other name that one can believe in to avoid hell and the lake of fire for eternity. This is why it is critical to Satan to get society to reject His name. Because Satan wants people to either worship him or burn in the lake of fire with him after he is permanently punished by God.
When the Apostles began to spread the Gospel after Jesus’ resurrection and return to Heaven, the same Pharisees who opposed Jesus, continued their persecution against them. And when they threatened the Apostles, their intent was clear: “And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them, Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name?” (Acts 5:28).

The enemies of Christianity (Satan and his fallen angels) know the power of the name of Jesus and will do whatever they can to lead the hearts and minds of society away from it. 2 Corinthians 4 says: “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world [Satan] hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” Satan is working to blind the minds of people and pop culture has provided an easy avenue to influence people to reject God and embrace sin and worldly pleasure. Do not be deceived.

Believe In The Name of Jesus Christ
Pray for Kanye West, Jay-Z and all those who blaspheme the Lord and promote an occult, sinful agenda to repent. And pray for their efforts to make merchandise of their fans through their rebellious music to fail. Jesus Christ said that all people, even those who blaspheme Him can be forgiven by believing and trusting in Him. And for the reader: if you are a Christian and are still supporting entertainment that openly disrespects and attacks the name of The Savior, pray for God’s forgiveness and for discernment. If you are not a born again Christian, understand that there is a war taking place. And your soul is the prize. There is a reason rappers are not just writing about cars and money but are also attacking Christianity – because there is a spiritual agenda behind them. Make the right choice and instead of dancing to blasphemy, pray for forgiveness of your own sins and receive eternal life through the name of Jesus Christ, the True Savior and God in the flesh.

“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” – Jesus Christ, Matthew 10:32-33.
