Hi! I'm Chasity and welcome to my blog!
I grew up in the Worldwide Church of God. Some looked at us as "quirky". Others thought we were a cult. But all I knew growing up was that we celebrated the sabbath on Saturday, we avoided eating pork and seafood, and we observed the major Jewish feasts. We also didn't celebrate the mainstream holidays because they were considered pagan.
Which meant that I was removed from school on the days that my classes held their annual parties. I felt like such a weirdo watching all of the Christians around me having so much fun and having to explain that I wasn't allowed to... but I wasn't sure why.
As I got older, the church split. Half of the church kept the old ways, and the other half adopted more modern traditions. All of a sudden we were being told that it was "okay" to observe the sabbath on Sunday, and that we weren't going to hell for eating a piece of bacon. Which radically blew my 13-year old mind. After an entire lifetime of "thus saith the Lord" ... now God is okay with it all?! Are you sure?!
This drastically challenged my faith in leadership, and made me question: WHO really has the truth? WHO among "believers" gets to decide right from wrong? The people who think that the Sabbath is on Saturday? Or those who worship on Sunday? The people who eat bacon? Or those who think that it's unclean? The people who atone for their sins to a priest? Or those who atone for their sins in prayer? Those who celebrate Easter? Or those who celebrate Passover? How does God decide who gets into heaven and who doesn't?
I quickly realized that no one has all the answers, and this set me on a course to find the truth for myself. But after SO many years of being denied a "normal" life, all I wanted to do was to fit in. So I saved up my money and bought my very first Christmas tree.
By the time I was 16, I was invited by a friend to a Pentecostal church - which was yet another one of those radical moments in my life. It was a terrifying experience going from a church that was really subdued and melancholy... to one with such spirit! For whatever reason, something inside of me was drawn to keep coming back. I went on to work in the ministry, I lived in Canada for a year doing mission-type work, and then I got married... and all of a sudden, my past caught up to me.
"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he gets old, he will not depart from it."
~Proverbs 22:6
Out of the blue one day, I began to question what Easter bunnies had to do with Christ's resurrection... and what Santa had to do with Christ's birth? For the first time in my life, I decided to find the answers.
My curiosity eventually spilled over into other topics as well. How do aliens fit into the biblical narrative? Where did demonic spirits originate? How come the Greeks have "gods and demigods" in their historical narrative? What is so secretive happening behind closed doors in secret societies? What does the Book of Revelation actually mean?
I've spent the last 15 years searching for answers - specifically those that I felt were rooted in scripture. And let me tell you... they aren't isolated topics! What I uncovered was an interconnected web of history. Good verses evil. The battle that began in the garden of Eden: the deception of mankind by the serpent... grew to such vastness that God attempted to wipe it from the face of the earth by a flood. But the knowledge was preserved on pillars of stone that survived.
The information was found and brought to Nimrod post-flood, and then promoted as the world religion under his kingship. It's the origins of Greek Mythology and ancient idol angel worship. There was only one group of people who promoted the truth, and worshipped the one true God.
As history progressed, and the children of God grew in number, the roles reversed and the deception was ultimately hidden away among small groups of people who continued to promote it as the "true" history of mankind. They became secret societies who continued to worship the demonic entities that once called themselves our gods. And in the same way that Christ is prophesied, in scripture, to one day return... the son of the pagan god has also long been prophesied, in scripture, to return. The anti-Christ.
When you recognize the connections, the Bible comes alive in ways that you never thought possible. In order to understand prophesy, you must first understand history. They are one and the same. There is no new thing under the sun. That which has been, is that which shall be.. again. Ecclesiastes 1:9
In September 2022, I decided to create a podcast to connect the dots and share, what I believe to be truth. This blog is an extension of my podcast, so that I can share my resources for anyone who wants to research it more for yourself.
If you're new to my podcast/blog: welcome! I pray you find the answers that you're searching for.
