Many false Christs shall arise

Having studied the occult in order to save a family member, I know where this garbage comes from. It is from satan and it is overall meant to create doubt and desensitize one to the occult and new age concepts. On a personal level, the online forum describes what is straight out of a few movies online. I do not advocate this move but one is called zeitgeist. They show the same exact thing you are talking about. But when probed deeper about its content, it's advocating and quoting new agers and practitioners of theosophy, to name a few.

There is a lot more I could point out but I don't want to be a messenger. Spiritually, some will conclude that showing an interest in the occult will open doorways for demonic activity. Be careful when researching this stuff, pray always, and don't get sucked in. God bless you.

Rodney, I haven't taken time to read all of your responses - so bear with me if I am repeating something that has already been said.

In my understanding of the Egyptian story of Osiris: it was a mythology created to tell a tale about Mankind's origins - especially Egypt. Not unlike many of the Greek mythologies. Some say there is fact buried inside these tales, like a rock used to create a giant snowball. Ultimately, all of these ancient stories are works of fiction used to explain human origins - and to keep humans in control by the governing authorities.

Here is how I look at this: there have been many fiction writers who envisioned future events. Some got certain details right about future events. Some examples:
* Tom Clancey's vision of terrorists using planes to crash into American Government buildings. He got the planes part right, but the buildings wrong. (If I remember correctly his tale envisioned the White House and the Capital destroyed).
* George Orwell's book "1984" which envisioned "Big Brother" using technology to control the world, especially the UK. In fact, technology has been used to keep the "Big Brother" types from controlling the world (at least this far) and the internet seems to be giving "we the people" more influence than when the media controlled the news. And... 1984 was a banner year for new technology that gave people more independence.
* Jules Vern's stories of futuristic technologies included blasting people to the moon. One problem, I believe he envisioned using a gigantic cannon.

So, there are many other examples of fiction, which had futuristic views that got some details right, but which missed the reality by a long shot.

Now, the Devil inspires people to say and do many things - even today in the age of Grace. So, I have no doubt that he understood the prophesies of Genesis well enough to realize that God had a plan for redeeming mankind by the death and resurrection of a Savior; in much the same way that Abraham realized that God would have to raise Isaac from the dead to fulfill his promise, if Abraham obeyed and sacrificed Isaac.

So, it is entirely plausible that Satan used the culture of Egypt to build up a story which would later be used to confound people. One of the clear evidences of Satan's involvment is that Egypt was apparently a cruel society that enslaved people and used the worship of Demi-god Pharoahs to control and manipulate people. God's word repeatedly talks about the way that Egypt is symbollic of false worship and human systems of thinking.

Therefore, it is no trouble at all to see that Satan could inspire writers to create myths, that got some facts right, about the Savior that God would send to redeem mankind. He is a master at deception, after all.
