"Zombies"
Over the last decade at least there's been a flood of occult products for mass consumption.
Movies, TV shows and books about ghosts. The cable networks are glutted with ghost hunters.
Movies, TV shows and books about witches and wizards. Harry Potter ushered in a tsunami of magic.
Movies, TV shows and books about vampires and werewolves. Twilight capitalized on the craze.
The latest wave seems to be all about zombies. The latest Brad Pitt
movie was World War Z and there's at least one prime time TV show
devoted to the undead. I bet there will be more than a few kids
showing up at your door dressed as gory zombies. Real cute.
This fascination with zombies reminds me of the following passage.
Rev. 9: 5 They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture
them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the
sting of a scorpion when it strikes. 6 During those days people will
seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will
elude them.
This has to be one of the strangest passages in the Bible. It
sounds like transhuman experiments gone horribly wrong. The people
here are described as being tortured and in agonizing pain, but unable
to die. It will be a nightmare that they can't wake up from.
Theres no halloween in Heaven.
