Seek THE LORD and live,

  lest He break out like fire in the

     house of Joseph,

  and it devour, with none to quench it for Bethel;

Woe to those who turn justice to

  wormwood, and cast down

righteousness

     to the earth.

                         Amos 5:6-7

 

              At twilight the eye is easily tricked, and no less the heart deceived. It is an hour interfusing darkness and light, and inviting occult activity. It is a place within the human heart where the Magician rendezvous with the rebel. Justice is turned to wormwood and righteousness into a godless standard. But woe to man and all the earth, for even the physician is a murderer and the priest a friend of Ba'al. Creation is in decay.

       The caretakers do not listen to the Keeper. The Keeper brings life to the world, but He does so through the caretakers and they have ceased to hear His Word. They drown out heaven as a dog bays at the moon. They play and dance at the hour of twilight. They flirt and consort with elemental spirits; they burn with evil passions and an inflaming pride. They are partners with the Magician, and they have a rebel's heart.
       A rebel's heart! Come with me as we enter such a dark soul to see the rebel's hideaway. But be warned! A soul captive in the Enemy's territory is filled with demonic surprises at every turn. Yet come! Walk beside me as we travel into a heart that is turned in upon itself, and away from its Keeper.

        As we descend the darkening steps, a supernatural chill grabs hold of us, sending tremors down our spines and weakening the fiber of our knees. Our expectations are charged with the sense that we are about to discover a power much greater than the rebel at work within this human soul.
