A warning about divination and superstition
Content br> Weird divination and superstition are rampant in our society. It is often said that when the world is chaotic, anxious, confused, or at the end of the century, such divination and superstition prevail, but now it seems this way, year-round, year-round, regardless of that. This superstitious phenomenon is one of the last days, and it is gradually increasing worldwide. To know the new year, I am curious about the number of days, to start a business, because the business doesn’t work, because I owe debt and can’t get the debt, because of frequent traffic accidents and unexpected accidents. I have to come and get my son and daughter married, which university to apply to, where to prepare a funeral home, when good things will happen, I have only had many daughters, but will I have a son or a daughter? I'm waiting... These things, those things, things like this, people who make up the past with various things in the world, predict fate, find good fortune and protect against evil, give them a lot of money, ask them, ask for advice (?), and seek help (?) Indeed many.
Divination and superstition are handled in department stores, cultural centers, 700 phone service, weekly, monthly, and even daily newspapers, as well as in fortune tellers, philosophical houses, bodhisattvas houses, shamans, applause houses, and naming houses. It has been around for a long time, and forms of divination and superstition are prevalent in temples, prayer halls, and churches.
During the month of December, before the first month of the new year, those who wish to wish for good luck in the new year will not be able to count them all. In Korea, there are 400,000 professionals (?) related to fortune-telling and superstition, and it is said that the average amount of bokchae that customers (?) pay to them each year is over 1 trillion won.
It is said that Nancy, the wife of the late President Reagan of the United States, made plans for her husband Reagan's important events and visits with the help of an astrologer (?) It is said that a shaman who foretells the future resides and helps them (?), and former Russian President Elchin often calls a famous (?) shaman to ask for advice (?).
Former Japanese Prime Minister Nakasone is said to have been obsessed with fortune-telling, and the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is also using psychics to solve crimes. It is said that they live according to the instructions of this fortune teller.
A few years ago, some important politicians in Korea moved the graves of their ancestors by receiving the famous place of descending (?) in accordance with the words of a famous Korean governor, Son Mo, who said that he had to move the graves of his ancestors to gain the throne Jeong Mo, the head of a conglomerate group, who had shaken the entire country with a loan-related bribery case, started his business in 1974 following the advice of a famous fortune teller. It started with the advice of a fortune teller (?), “If you touch it, good things will happen.” It is said that the construction date of the steelworks, December 29, 1990, also caught up with one of the famous choices.
A person named Kwon Kwon from a church said that after seeing “compatibility,” the woman who was engaged to his son did not fit (?), and the fortune tellers boast that many women with crosses around their necks also come to visit us. It is said that he vomits his breath while complaining about it.
It cannot be a bizarre phenomenon. It cannot but be the image of the spiritually corrupted last days. A famous (?) Korean shaman, Mr. Shim, served as a god of ancestors called Ambassador Myeongseong, and was a fortune teller at the behest of those who came to fortune-telling. there is said to be. You can see how much our society is expanding with divination and superstition.
I've heard that once an ordinary shaman holds a rite, it usually costs between 3 million won and 5 million won, and it is also said that when a famous shaman holds a rite, it is the price.
Through Paul, the man of God, God told us an important fact about the future people. “The time is coming when people will not receive sound doctrine, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from the truth and listen to myths” (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
To summarize this verse, in the last days, indeed, many people will not listen to the right teaching, that is, the right doctrine (teaching) of God's Word, but instead follow those who want to satisfy their greed, and have no value whatsoever from those people. , meaning that they will accept and follow meaningless words. Think about it. How worthless and useless are the words of a shaman, a magician, a fortune teller, a prophet, a writer, etc.?
God gave another word about this.
“But the Holy Spirit plainly says: In the latter days some have turned away from the faith and followed deceitful spirits and teachings of demons. They are liars with hypocrisy, whose conscience has been scorched” (1 Timothy 4:1-2).
This is one of the prophecies of the last days. In the last days, there will be many people who are active by the power of demons, and they will learn demons about falsehoods, heresies, social divination, superstitions, etc. Meaning.
“Those who remain undead from this plague will not repent of the works of their hands, but instead bow down to many demons and to idols of gold, silver, bronze, and wood and stone that cannot see, hear, or walk, and their murders, sorcery, and fornication. and did not repent of stealing” (Rev 9:20-21).

At the beginning of 1997, a famous weekly magazine in Korea published a “special feature” (?) article with the titles “The best dream among dreams”, “What is a famous place”, “This place is a famous place”, and “I can identify bad spots”. I did.
I wondered how much readers preferred this superstition after reading this article, so that the media, whose life is the popularity of the masses, had no choice but to publish such an article? I used to wonder. I can't tell you how surprised and sad I was when I saw the advertisement for a stamp published in a famous magazine. Here are some of the advertisements.
