  2. Witchcraft moves to the mainstream in America as Christianity declines… Rachel Ray 21 December 2018 • Witchcraft is thriving in the US, with an estimated 1.5 million Americans now identifying as witches - more than the total number of Presbyterians. As Christianity declines across the country, paganism has swung to the mainstream, with witchcraft paraphernalia for sale on every high street and practises normalised across popular culture. In the past two years, it has also become darkly politicised... • Millennials, says [Dakota] Bracciale [cofounder of Catland Books], are looking for spiritualism outside traditional religion. “The hex centres on the notion that we live in a universe of chaos, entropy, destruction, death, decay with a final ending of oblivion - scientists are telling us. So the witch does everything for themselves - there is no other help in this universe of decay and chaos. If you don’t get in the driver’s seat things will just get worse,” the witch said… • Catland Books is replete with Christian images including the Archangel Michael, Christian defender against the demonic, and the Virgin Mary. Bracciale, a self-described sexual abuse survivor, who grew up in a born-again-Christian evangelical cult in Arizona, takes umbrage at the notion that witchcraft and Christianity are mutually exclusive. Witchcraft “has a ton of roots in Christianity”, the Brooklyn witch says. Indeed, in Bracciale’s view, the Bible is a spell book, particularly the Book of Psalms.

  10. Notes on Hebrews 2017 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable • God gave many revelations of Himself to Old Testament believers, “fathers” being a shorthand way of referring to them (cf. v. 2)… God gave these revelations in many periods of history. He did this by various means and in various ways (“in many portions and in many ways”). Another rendering of this phrase is “different modes . . . and . . . different occasions.” For example, His “means” included types, symbols, commandments, precepts, warnings, exhortations, visions, dreams, signs, parables, events, and face-to-face visitations (cf. Num. 12:6-8)… • God's “ways” included supernatural interventions into history, as well as natural phenomena such as storms, plagues, and other historical events. They also included people, namely, "the prophets," through whom He spoke (cf. 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21)… • God's most recent revelation had come through “His [own] Son.” The writer was not denying divine revelation to the apostles. He was stressing the culminating character of God's revelation in Jesus Christ, compared with what He had given the Old Testament prophets. His statement establishes the fact of progressive revelation, and strongly suggests the cessation of revelation in the apostolic age. God's final revelation through His Son came first as Jesus conducted His earthly ministry, but then it continued after Jesus ascended to heaven, from where He gave further revelation through the apostles (cf. Acts 1:1-2). Man has not taken the initiative to discover God, but God has taken the initiative to reveal Himself to man.
