How many brothers and sisters would refuse the king's food? -3

* Luís Alberto Alves

The curious thing is that while the festivals held by the Jewish people lasted seven days, those of the world, sponsored by darkness, have a short duration. And it usually brings depression to its end. As it happens in the Carnival. The revelers get into debt for the purchase of costumes and take on financial commitments that after Wednesday of Ash must be fulfilled. That's when the shock of reality hits the door. Others get sexually transmitted diseases, destroying marriages or even betrothal.

The food in the context of this text of the book of Daniel can be spiritually understood as a word, since the Word of God is what feeds us, leaving us strengthened for the struggles that any servant of the Lord will face while in this world. Rest and peace only in Heaven, where there is no pain, sorrow, death, hunger, night or day.

Darkness offers seemingly beautiful food, but lacking in content. In this 21st century millions of readers of self-help books are common. By means of fables they try to find rest for a life full of internal wars provoked by the demonic spirits. In this balaio de gato enter books of spiritualism, bringing doctrines totally contrary to the teachings preached by Jesus Christ.

There are literary works written by Satanists, specialists in the distortion of the biblical texts. It is very common to take the verse in which Jesus Christ forgives the adulterous woman and commands her to follow her life. These writers are only in this phrase, it does not explain the rest, when the Lord speaks to Mary Magdalene not to make any more mistakes and to lead a dignified life. This example shows how much the food of darkness is spoiled, though it looks beautiful.
