The false book of Esther was incorporated into the New Testament erroneously by St. Jerome in his translation work in 384 - 405 A.D. and not before. It should never have been incorporated at all since it is not only uninspired but Satanic and utterly damned by God forevermore.
Melito, bishop of Sardis, of Asia Minor 170 A.D. preserved the Old Testament canon of scripture. His list is exactly the original Septuagint order of books and contains the Old Testament protocanonicals and absolutely excludes the Book of Esther. Nehemiah is included in Esdras and Lamentations is included within Jeremiah. That is not the ordering of the modern "Hebrew" bible since the modern "Hebrew" tradition of the ordering of the books of the Old Testament Bible is a Massoretic lie and invention to obfuscate and deceive Gentiles.
Furthermore St. Irenaeus, Martyr and Bishop and disciple of St. Polycarp, Martyr and Bishop who in turn was the disciple of St. John the last Apostle and Evangelist, records the scripture for us as does his, St. Irenaeus', disciple St. Hippolytus – there is NO inclusion of Esther and as late as St. Athanasius of Egypt (early and mid fourth century A.D.), St. Athanasius sets apart "Esther" as NON canonical and of derivation from New Testament times, but no part of the New Testament, and no part of the Old Testament, in any way at all.
One of the Synagogues of Satan, this one in Sardis. It is anathema - cursed by God forever.
18th century A.D. German Jewish Demon scroll (Israel Museum - who says "Israel" doesn't have idolatry?! - this is rife with idolatry and conjuring of devils and demons) of Esther the mother goddess of paganism (Astarte, Artemis, Isis, Mene, with threads of Hecate the ultimate Greek witch and Lilith throughout etc.) incorporated into the first century B.C. "Judaism" (Haburah, Naasseni, Pharisee as a Devil's avatar to worship Satan thereby and murder as many people as they can imagine - hence the myth they concocted of Purim and murdering Persians and drinking Haman the Persian's blood and eating his body parts in cannibalism and the 75,000 Persians they pretended to have murdered in Satanic joyful glee; that of course presages what they intend to do to Iran today). Notice the Necromancer Sorcerer Witch rebbi at the top left pointing with his Sorcerers wand at the astrological sign of Pisces, which is the month of Adar wherein is Purim, the feast of Lots. The center part is the Esther Purim text. Top right is the cannibal blood drinking feast. It is hidden from gentiles usually, but actual human blood is advertised, even upon the internet, but secretly, for Jews to use in "celebrating" Purim.
TYCHE was the Roman summation of all earth mother goddesses of the whole Ecumenos, the world of Roman times.
Every Abomination of the ancient world was summed up in Tyche.
Parousia of Jesus Christ Our Lord: Traditional Catholic Prayers: Prayer against the Devil Mother Goddess and all of Satan's minions
Tyche was the goddess which was the summation, in the Graeco-Egyptian religion of the Graeco-Roman world, of all goddesses and therefore the beginning and end of all the poytheistic gods and goddesses of the ancient mediterranean world. The Cumaean, Tiburtine and Delphic sibyls were the principal fortune tellers of the Roman empire which would convince the citizens of the empire of the will of Rome (the beast from the sea). The beast from the earth was the false prophet i.e. sorcerers and magicians and Caesar himself as pontifex maximus of the Roman religion. The three spirits out of the mouth of the dragon and the beast and the false prophet are the three sibyls above.

| The triple goddess Isis, the Graeco-Egyptienne summation of all goddesses and all sorcery and magic with the sorcerer's wand of Satan in her hand, the Intaglio, with which she commands by the invocation of the chief sorcerer all the Devils and Demons under Satan. In ancient Rome she was Tyche and today is "Mary" assumed sitting upon the right hand of herself in the heavens as (the Pantheist Ecumenist Communist Sergei Bulgakov chief "Marian" periti-expert-"theologian" of Vatican II crafted it from the Devil goddess of Communist Russia - see note 1 directly below). The Vatican I [never closed - never promulgated]/ Vatican II [council of Satan of the Great Apostasy] the only way to [the False] "Jesus" [the Antichrist, Simia Christi] and the "Father" [of lies - the Devil, Satan, the Serpent of Old in the garden of Eden] adopted this as Mary Goddess summation of "Fatima" and "Rue du Bac" et al and the power of the god of Vatican II. |
note 1 - Bulgakov was condemned for this by the Orthodox Church in exile during the early 1920's and at that time and until Vatican II the Catholic church at Rome never allowed any such blasphemous Gnostic garbage masquerading as "Mary." The attempt at Vatican I - Mary as "immaculate conception" with the miraculous medal idol, is not part of Church Doctrine then, since Vatican I was not closed and nothing proposed then could have been promulgated therefore. Bulgakov, a Communist masquerading as an Orthodox priest, proposed his French Revolution Robespierre's Mother Goddess and Communist Revolution's Mother Goddess - depicted as a version of the French Revolution's Goddess with huge Statues erected in Communist Russia. Bulgakov's blaspemous to True God: "Mary" was the Fourth Person of the Holy Trinity (therefore obviating Jesus Christ) and the Essence of the Holy Trinity (therefore replacing God the Father) and the very transparent [invisible therefore non-existent i.e. Belial, the Devil] Essence proceeding from and the only way to access the Holy Trinity (therefore replacing the Holy Spirit) - therefore the "Jesus Christ" she would present to the world would be the Antichrist (Simia Christi - ape [imitation] of Christ). This "Mary" is the Devil's Mother Goddess and nothing else.
The False Prophet, at the end of the line of Antipopes begun in 1958 at the Conclave then, that goes before the Antichrist, will use this Mary Mother Goddess Power to perform false miracles to make deluded apostate people accept the Antichrist as god over gods and goddesses as prophesied by St. Hippolytus amongst others of the Church Fathers- together with the Devil and all the Devils and Demons, they will all irrevocably be cast into hell by the Almighty Lord God Jesus Christ at His Second Coming.
As a side deviation from truth the crypto-Jews: Hoffman and pseudo-Maurice Pinay, side track whoever they can with endless Diabolic Talmudic arguments about fine legal Pharisaic details concerning the involvement of Jews and usury so that when the False Prophet "causes all to take the Mark of the Beast," people will be so satiated with their nonsense and argumentation that they will be unsure of what to do and vulnerable to the False Prophet and the Antichrist. Don't fall for it. Do not be deceived by them, they are part of the false prophets and false christs Our Lord Jesus Christ warned us about.
See: The Apocalypse, the Book of the Revelation: 13.:11 ¶ And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth: and he had two horns, like a lamb: and he spoke as a dragon.
12 And he executed all the power of the former beast [the Antichrist] in his sight. And he caused the earth and them that dwell therein to adore the first beast, whose wound to death was healed. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 13: 3,4
13 And he did great signs, so that he made also fire to come down from heaven unto the earth, in the sight of men.
14 And he seduced them that dwell on the earth, for the signs which were given him to do in the sight of the beast: saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make the image of the beast which had the wound by the sword and lived.
15 And it was given him to give life to the image of the beast: and that the image of the beast should speak: and should cause that whosoever will not adore the image of the beast should be slain.
16 And he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character [3] in their right hand or on their foreheads: … Scripture reference – Rev.: 14:9; 20:4

18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty-six. {See this link - 666 -} [4] … Scripture reference – Rev.: 17:9
And See: Wisdom is Justified by Her Children: The Great Tribulation and the End of this Age
23 Then if any man shall say to you, Lo here is Christ, or there: do not believe him.
24 For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.
25 Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.
26 If therefore they shall say to you, Behold he is in the desert: go ye not out. Behold he is in the closets: believe it not.
The precursor in Egypt, of Tyche as mother goddess summation of all the gods/goddesses, is the triple goddess Isis represented and invocated as Selene-Mene-Hecate. This is the absolute worst of the virgin goddess of black magic/sorcery in the history of the world. The representation is Isis as sorceress in her lunar and chthonic form united to the sky above and ruler of earth in between standing on the globe of the world around which a serpent is coiled. One statue still extant today of Isis as this sorceress is the Farnese Isis (Naples Museum). She holds the Intaglio (magic ring of the serpent uroboros, the serpent that eats it own tail). The formula of consecration is invoked by the power of the serpent with the crescent moon with two stars one on each end of the horns of the crescent moon forming the tang of the sorcerer/sorceress with the sun of Abraxas, the ancient god of all sorcery and black magic surmounted above that. Any resemblance to the false representation of Mary as the Immaculate Conception especially as shown on the so-called "Miraculous Medal" standing on the globe of the earth is NOT ACCIDENTAL.
...
For instance the Gnostics, according to the Church Fathers, basing themselves on the Naasseni (the apostate Jewish serpent worshipping Satanist priesthood cult which is the base for all Kabalah and the Zohar) copied much of their doctrine from Platonism, Graeco-Egyptian paganism and far eastern religiosity and claimed, totally falsely, that this is what Jesus taught. It is not at all what Jesus taught nor at all what Moses taught. The Gnostic doctrines are obvious in this plagiarizing of paganism and denial of the true Jesus Christ. In the East the Buddhist teaching of how Sakyamuni (Gotama), the Buddha, obtained his “enlightenment” is obviously diabolic and has a great deal in common with Graeco-Egyptian mysticism in the west; especially this is extremely similar to Simon Magus’ portrayal of himself entwined with snakes in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil as a man-god to be sought after as the ultimate teacher of true knowledge. The prime example: The Dragon Flower Tree (the banyan or pipal [fig] tree) from which the great white serpent from the abyss (the devil) granted Gotama (the Buddha) his “enlightenment” which consisted of his denying the I AM and being his own saviour. Otherwise known as the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil which in classical and traditional Catholic teaching is the first type of the devil. Gn:2:17: 17 But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat. For in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death.
Every Abomination of the ancient pagan world was summed up in Tyche.
The apostate Jews summed up every bit of that vile depraved garbage in Esther which they used as a model for the Jewess POPPEA to incite Nero to persecute the innocent Christians.
God and His Messiah Jesus Christ our Lord - our right and duty to witness to Him: The Plot Against the Church, Part 3
CHAPTER ELEVEN
THE ROMAN PERSECUTIONS WERE CALLED FORTH BY THE JEWS
We have already studied, in the preceding chapter, the various attempts that the Jews made in order to incite the Roman authorities against Saint Paul. They accused him of being against Caesar and recognising another King in his place, by which they meant Jesus. Concerning these intrigues and slanders, an undisputed document, i.e. the New Testament of the Holy Bible, provides us with knowledge. These attempts to incite the might of the Roman Empire against nascent Christianity followed frequently upon one another, even if for some time without success. It is a historically proven fact that the Romans in religious matters were tolerant and also in no way hostilely disposed towards the Christians, as is proved by the conduct of Pilate in the case of Jesus and the favourable interventions of the Imperial authorities in the persecutions unleashed by the Jews against Saint Paul and the first Christians. The following fact is very revealing and is recorded by Tertullian and Orosius, who remark that, before the Hebrew attempts at persecution arose against Christians, the Emperor Tiberius had a law published that threatened with death those who accused Christians.88
In the ninth year of his government, Claudius commanded all Jews to leave Rome because, according to the evidence of Flavius Josephus, they had caused Agrippina, his wife, to take on Jewish customs; or also, as Suetonius writes, because frequent upheavals gave the impetus to the persecutions of Christians.89
One sees that the pagan Emperor Claudius was tolerant in the extreme towards Christians. When he became tired of the mutinies that the Jews caused, he expelled them from the city of Rome. The Acts of the Apostles also report this expulsion.90 One sees here the Jewish tendency to cause their influence to rise up to the steps of the throne, by their controlling the Empress in order to exert influence on the Emperor. In so doing, they held to the completely distorted teachings of the Biblical book of Esther, giving this an ambitious interpretation. Esther, a Jewess, was successful in transforming herself into the Queen of Persia and in exercising a decisive influence on the King, in order to destroy the enemies of the Israelites. However, in the case of the Emperor Claudius, the attempt openly failed, which did not occur with Nero, with whom it was successful in bringing close to him a Jewess named Poppaea, who soon transformed into the lover of the Emperor, and, according to some Hebrew chronicles, into the real Empress of Rome. She was successful in exercising a decisive influence upon this ruler.
Tertullian, one of the Church Fathers, says in his work “Scorpiase”: “The synagogues are the places from whence the persecutions against Christians emanate.” And in his book “Ad Nationes”, the same Tertullian writes: “From the Jews come the slanders against the Christians.”91
During the rule of Nero, tolerance at first reigned towards the Christians; however, the Emperor finally gave way to the persistent intrigues of his Jewish lover Poppaea, who is described as the originator of the idea of laying the blame for setting fire to the city of Rome upon the Christians, based on which the first cruel persecution of Christians that was carried out by the Roman Empire was justified.
The Jesuit fathers R. Llorca S.J., R. Garcia-Villoslada S.J. and F. J. Montalban S.J. have established the following in connection with the Christian persecutions by pagan Rome against the weak and defenceless Christians by Nero:
“The Jews were the most active elements in the promotion of the climate of hatred against the Christians, whom they regarded as the falsifiers of the Mosaic Law... This activity of the Jews must have exercised a notable influence, for it is known to us that they already enjoyed great regard in Rome at the time of Nero and that, on the occasion of the martyrdom of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, some had hinted at the idea that the latter were killed out of the jealousy of the Jews.
“Given this climate of violence incited by the hatred of the Jews, one can easily understand the persecution by Nero. Since they are capable of every crime, it was simple for them to denounce the Christians as the incendiaries of Rome. It needed no great effort for the people to believe it.”92
In fact, they accused the Christians in a slanderous manner that they had even committed the disgusting crime of eating children at their ceremonies,93 which naturally called forth alarm among the authorities and the Roman people. It is only too understandable that this constant intrigue, this persistent work of slander and blasphemy, which the Hebrews always unleash against those who disturb their plans, and which was carried out by thousands of individual persons in the Roman Empire month by month, year by year, finally attained its goal and unleashed against nascent Christianity, which they alone could not destroy, the enormous power of the Roman Empire in a destructive fury never previously known in human history.
In order to defend the truth, we will quote the reliable evidence of an authorised Jewish source: “Rabbi Wiener, who, in his work “The Jewish Food Laws”, confesses that the Jews were the instigators of the Christian persecutions in Rome, observed that under the rule of Nero, in the year 65 of our calendar, when Rome had the Jewess Poppaea as Empress and a Jew as prefect of the city, the era of martyrs began which was to extend for over 249 years.”94
In these instigations of the Hebrews to call forth the Roman persecutions against Christianity, participated even those Rabbis outstanding in the history of the synagogue, such as the famed “Rabbi Jehuda, one of the authors of the Talmud (the sacred books and the source of the religion of modern Jewry), [who was] was successful in the year 155 of our calendar in obtaining a command, according to which all Christians of Rome were to be sacrificed, and on the grounds of which many thousands were killed. The executioners of the martyrs and Popes, Cayo and Marcelino were in fact Jews.”95
During three centuries, the Christians showed heroic resistance, without answering violence with violence. In fact it is understandable that, after three centuries of persecutions, when Christianity had gained a complete victory in the Roman Empire through the conversion of Constantine and the acceptance of the Christian religion as the state religion, that it was finally decided to answer violence with violence, in order to defend the victorious Church – as well as the peoples who had placed their faith in it and who also saw themselves continually threatened by the destructive and annihilating activity of Jewish imperialism – against the lasting conspiracies of Jewry.
On the other side, it is necessary that the cowards, who, given the present position, think of capitulating to the “Synagogue of Satan”, out of fear of its persecution, power and influence, bear in mind that the terrible threats of our days are far removed from being so grave as those which Christ our Lord, then the Apostles and after them the first Christians faced. They had to expose themselves not only to mighty Jewry, but to the then apparently unconquerable power of the Roman Empire, the greatest and strongest of all times. To these two deadly dangers were added those which arose through internal dissension, which the Jews, by means of their “Fifth column”, had called forth in the bosom of Christianity, along with Gnosticism and other false destructive doctrines.
One must bear in mind that, despite the fact that that situation was far graver and more tragic than that of the present, Holy Church could only save itself if it achieved a complete victory over its deadly enemies. If it was successful in this, then it is because it was able to rely upon spiritual shepherds who never despaired, never lost courage, nor entered into shameful alliances with the powers of the Devil. At no moment did they think of seeking situations of cooperation, nor of peaceful coexistence, nor of diplomatic capitulations, which are always quibbles used by the cowardly clergy and accomplices of the enemy, who in our days strive to achieve that Holy Church and its spiritual shepherds deliver the sheep, whose careful protection Christ our Lord entrusted to them, into the claws of the wolf, for the disadvantage of the Church itself and of the trust that true Catholics have placed in it.
The false book of "ESTHER" was NEVER part of scripture.
Palestine Cry: St. Melito of Sardis - book of esther is a total synagogue of satan fabrication
St. Melito of Sardis 170 A.D. St. Melito was a Christian Bishop much venerated and heeded by the early church who verified the Old Testament (that term starts with him and his use of it) canon of scripture in Caesarea Maritima in Palestine. St. Melito specifically and exactly excludes
Esther as not being at all listed in, nor any part of Old Testament scripture. It actually dates absolutely NO earlier than first century B.C. with its real author, Lysimachus of Alexandria, as only non canonical Greek Apocrypha. The original NEVER mentions God at all; the "Jews" are gods of that false book. The correct Septuagint translation of Old Testament scripture from Hebrew into Greek was done a century before that and emphatically does not include "
Esther" or anything like it at all. The Massoretes incorporated the false "Hebrew" edition they concocted five centuries later into their Massoretic "Hebrew" text (5th to 9th century A.D. in its composition) which is full of their corruptions throughout as well. That is unfortunately where St. Jerome was led astray to include it in his translation work in 384 - 405 A.D.
The false book of
Esther was incorporated into the New Testament erroneously by St. Jerome in his translation work in 384 - 405 A.D. and not before. It should never have been incorporated at all since it is not only uninspired but Satanic and utterly damned by God forevermore.
Melito, bishop of Sardis, of Asia Minor 170 A.D. preserved the Old Testament canon of scripture. His list is exactly the original Septuagint order of books and contains the Old Testament protocanonicals and absolutely excludes the Book of
Esther. Nehemiah is included in Esdras and Lamentations is included within Jeremiah. That is not the ordering of the modern "Hebrew" bible since the modern "Hebrew" tradition of the ordering of the books of the Old Testament Bible is a Massoretic lie and invention to obfuscate and deceive Gentiles.
Furthermore St. Irenaeus, Martyr and Bishop and disciple of St. Polycarp, Martyr and Bishop who in turn was the disciple of St. John the last Apostle and Evangelist, records the scripture for us as does his, St. Irenaeus', disciple St. Hippolytus – there is NO inclusion of
Esther and as late as St. Athanasius of Egypt (early and mid fourth century A.D.), St. Athanasius sets apart "
Esther" as NON canonical and of derivation from New Testament times, but no part of the New Testament, and no part of the Old Testament, in any way at all.
The Hermetic Magic practicing apostates from the faith who infested the Medieval Church even had their Satanic idol, Poppea made into a vile opera celebrating the utterly Diabolic machinations of Nero propelled by the Jewess Poppea whereby they used the power of the Roman Empire against its own laws (laws established by Tiberius Caesar) to persecute the innocent Christians.
This below is a typical Freemasonic attack upon the faith in Jesus Christ delivered once for all to the saints in even treating the horrific and scheming evil Poppea as a subject for light entertainment.
In Francaise, Monteverdi's Le Couronnement de Poppée or in Italian, Monteverdi, L'Incoronazione di
Poppea
Brief quote from: Château de Versailles Spectacles - Monteverdi : Le Couronnement de Poppée
Monteverdi’s career in Venice was peaking in 1632 when he presented his new opera for San Giovanni e Paolo, a theatre that had just opened – and one of the first to charge admission in Europe. The brilliant idea that got him this job was to broach the story of an immoral Poppea manipulating a merciless Nero to his tragic ends with a comical undercurrent buttressing the ultimately distinctly Shakespearian plot. Voices play the main roles, but the Venetian orchestra provides a profuse and colourful continuo, enveloping 17th-century Italian opera’s most beautiful melodies. This masterpiece is scorching, alive, passionate and poisonous – and the brilliant soloists and Jérôme Corréas at their helm befit it. Christophe Rauck’s work directing this opera earned acclaim around the world as Le Couronnement de Poppée.
Traditional Catholic Prayers: Khafir kuffār Althod: Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge
Khafir kuffār Althod: SNIPPITS AND SNAPPITS: PHOTO FOUND: 'STAR OF DAVID' A KHAZAR SYMBOL. It is not. It has nothing to do with ancient faithful Israelites and has everything to do with ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian apostasy from God from 6,000 years ago through 4,000 years ago and Egyptian and Jewish apostasy from God from 4,000 years ago through 2,500 years ago and Jewish apostasy from God from 2,500 years ago until the time of Christ and continuously thereafter until the present.
The apostate Jewish nation as a race denying the commandments given Moses by God is a cult that is unbroken from the time of the Old Testament (See: God voided the covenant) which at that time that cult then adopted the Mesopotamian and Egyptian infidel practices of magic and murder and depravity until now. It is not, as the clever Jesuit trained (by his own admission) Michael A. Hoffman II, tries to make people believe, an invention by Medieval nations and cults and non-Semitic peoples. He is not alone in this faux history and obfuscation. Arthur Koestler helped this along some years back.
In contradistinction, the history of Khazaria was always well known to historians through the centuries. They are only a part of Jewish history.
The Rabbis that were part of the revolt against the Messiah that God sent, Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, continued that revolt unbroken to the present. They did this via the first century Palestinian Rabbinic academies to the downfall of Jerusalem and Masada in the first century A.D. and continued through the Bar Kochba revolt in the second century to the second century Massoretic tradition (which culminated in the major Massorete writing period of 5th century through 9th century A.D. in the compilation of the Massoretic distortion of the Old Testament adopted as the permanent Hebrew Bible by Judaism at that time). The fourth century A.D. Rabbis recorded a compilation of Babylonian Jewish Haburah cult Nasseeni Serpent worshippers' magic and Gnostic philosophy and depravity conveyed through the Gemmara, Mishnah, combined into the Talmud with its companion the Zohar. (Gnosticism is very ancient and quite pre-Christian in its origins.) That fourth century compilation which they termed the Talmud is their actual book they follow. The Torah of Moses they use as a cover and totally ignore its teachings. This theme of mask and deception is what they continue to befuddle the Gentiles with. Blaming everything on the semi-Mythical Khazar Ashkenazim is a variation on that. The Sephardics and Mishvrahim and Keraites and Persian and Iraqi Jews and all the rest along with Khazar and others called Ashkenazim (German and Russian Jews) with the Khazars, are all part of the Talmudic Jewish Kahal crime cartel that hides behind religion and their machinations. From that ancient racist cultic depraved history enumerated above to the fourth century A.D. incursions into Persia and Asia including the middle Asian steppes and throughout Europe and the Americas and Australia thereafter until the present they continue to sow only harm and destruction covering themselves up as they go with lies, deceit and story telling. Those later expansions only repeat many of the paths they trod before, the so called lost tribes. The Jewish communities in India date from 2,500 years ago unbroken to the present and in China nearly as long ago.
The far eastern Oblast established by Stalin in 1928 is nothing more than another Jewish colonizing adventure.
All the faux resistance to the New World Order is only a Judas goat a lie to sever all connection of present Jews or even nearly all present day Jews with the Jews that Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ condemned:
This is nothing more than a variation on the theme practiced down through the ages by the apostate Jews to cover up their identity to further carry on their dirty work.
The history of the
Jew makes it clear that Jesus Christ of the tribe of Judah, came to save
Jew and gentile alike but that the
Jews are guilty of Deicide and Perfidy.

Our Lord Jesus Christ taught us to pray -
Mt:6:9-13:9 ¶ Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our supersubstantial bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen. (DRV)
Not only did Our Lord Jesus Christ teach us to pray that we be delivered from evil (the evil one and all of it's minions), but He gave us power over the evil spirits.
Lk:9:1:1 ¶ Then calling together the twelve apostles, he gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases. (DRV)
The Apostles following Our Lord Jesus Christ's teaching, taught us to have nothing to do with idolatry and sorcery and magic (which is what the verse below refers to) which is the demons and devils and practices of paganism .
Acts:15:29:
29 That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication: from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well. (DRV)
The risen Jesus Christ prophesies of those who will not turn from the demons and devils and practices of paganism.
Rv:9:21:
21 Neither did they penance from their murders nor from their sorceries nor from their fornication nor from their thefts. (DRV)
We are to have nothing to do with the demons and devils and practices of paganism - and those who are part of that for they have chosen eternal death (damnation) for themselves.
2Cor:2:14-17:14 Now thanks be to God, who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place.
15 For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved and in them that perish.
16 To the one indeed the odour of death unto death: but to the others the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is so sufficient?
17 For we are not as many, adulterating the word of God: but with sincerity: but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak.(DRV)
Instead we are to remain apart from the demons and devils and practices of paganism and those who are part of that.
2Cor:6:14-18:14 Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God: as God saith: I will dwell in them and walk among them. And I will be their God: and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore: Go out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing:
18 And I will receive you. And will be a Father to you: and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.(DRV)
Since we have been delivered from the power of darkness -
Col:1:13:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, (DRV)
Our first rank of prayer is against evil and the evil powers so that we remain apart from the infidelity of paganism and others are delivered therefrom into the kingdom of Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For Our Lord Jesus Christ lives and teaches us that there is no communion of the kingdom of God and paganism, nor can there ever be.
Jn:1:5:
5 ¶ And the light shineth in darkness: and the darkness did not comprehend it. (DRV)
Therefore by the power of the Cross of Christ (Jn:3:14) we Pray Against Evil and those who chose to be part of that and the wrath of God remains on them -
Jn:3:14-21,36:
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
16 For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world: but that the world may be saved by him.
18 He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the judgment: Because the light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.
20 For every one that doth evil hateth the light and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
21 But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest: because they are done in God.
36 He that believeth in the Son hath life everlasting: but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him.(DRV)
The early Church did the same, they Prayed Against Evil and the practitioners thereof, and the Church has always done this. From the Liturgy of St. Mark:
Bless our meetings, O Lord.
Utterly uproot all idolatry from the world.
Crush under our feet Satan.
Humble now, as at all times, the enemies of Thy Church.
Lay bare their pride.
Speedily show them their weakness.
Bring to naught the wicked plots they contrive against us.Arise, O Lord, and let Thine enemies be scattered, and let all who hate Thy holy name be put to flight.
