LENT
Which is observed for forty days ending with Easter is derived from the Babylonian system of mysteries. It is also observed today by devil worshippers of Kurdistan who obtained it from the same source as did Rome. Humboldt found it practised among the pagan Mexicans and Wilkinson informs us that it was a custom in ancient Egypt. Both Easter and Lent were introduced into the church 519 A. D. "The observance of Lent had no existence so long as the Church remained inviolate"--Cassianus. At the same time of the year that Romanism observes it the heathen observes it for different purpose as a celebration of the Rape of Proserpine in which culminated a period of unbridled lust after forty days of enforced abstinence in preparation therefor. How well does God liken Romanism to a wh-ore, who professes to be the sole spotless bride of Christ, but in reality, is the final great apostate religious system linked with the world and exercising power over the nations of the world under the ten kings until Antichrist comes to full power and destroys her in the middle of the Week (Rev. 17:16, 17).
