Ozzy, “The Prince Of Darkness,” Soon To Meet His Maker

1st Peter 4:17, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”

According to Wikipedia, John Michael “Ozzy” Osbourne (born 3 December 1948) is an English singer, songwriter and television personality. He rose to prominence during the 1970's as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, during which period he adopted the nickname “Prince of Darkness.” Although Mr. Osbourne has long been accused of being a Satanist, it was reported by The New York Times in 1992 that he was a practicing member of the Church of England and prayed before each show. What blasphemy against a holy God! We see this a lot today—entertainers mixing heathendom and religion. For example: All the members of the band Black Sabbath wear crosses during concert. It confuses people, which is what the Devil wants to do. That is why Satan has published literally hundreds of English Bible revisions, to confuse everyone and diminish the authoritativeness of God's Word.

The ritualistic Church of England is apostate...

“Being a Christian means responding to Jesus' invitation to enjoy a relationship with God here on earth and for eternity.” —Church Of England - What We Believe

They are Anglicans who practice baptismal regeneration. Judas had a relationship with Jesus, but went to Hell forever. Ozzy is no more a born-again Christian than Elmer Fudd in the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes series. Ozzy Osbourne has faithfully served Satan throughout his rock music career, whether he realizes or wants to admit it or not. You don't have to worship the Devil to be a Satanist. The Australian band AC/DC is infamous for songs like “Highway To Hell” and “Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be,” which they glibly dismiss as a mere marketing strategy. Ozzy says the same thing. I believe them! I don't think Ozzy lights candles in a pentagram in his basement, while bowing down to a statue of Baphomet. 

Yet, in his very concerts he is as he calls himself, the 'Prince Of Darkness,' preaching a Satanic message to his audience! Band after band, as worldly as can be, deny worshipping the Devil, while producing music and album art that glorifies the Devil. Don Henley of The Eagles has said a hundred times that Hotel California was just some clever lyrics that he thought up, not intended to be Satanic. Yet he sings: “they stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the Beast” and also “you can check-in anytime you like, but you can never leave,” which strongly suggests an occult secret society. Anyone who has done their research fully knows that Hollywood and the American music industry are controlled by Satanists. I am not saying that Don Henley is a Satanist, but he is clearly a part of an industry controlled by Satanists. They have proven that over the decades by their creative occult artwork on the album covers. We are headed into a demonic New World Order!

When I was 10 years old in 1977, my friend and me used to hang out in his basement, listening to his older brother's 8-track collection. We loved the song “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath, but I didn't learn until I was older that the singer was Ozzy Osbourne. We listened to Boston, Foreigner, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy and Journey on 8-tracks. We were just normal kids, not knowing any better, that it was the Devil's music. I got saved at age 13. The indwelling Holy Spirit taught me that even though I still liked rock music, it was indeed the Devil's music. 

I didn't smash all my worldly music as Pacific Garden Mission foolishly teaches. I have been listening to junk theology on Unshackled for the past couple years with heightened interest, alarmed by the garbage they are preaching. According to umpteen Unshackled episodes, when you get saved, your desire for sinful addictions immediately vanish. For example: 

“I got up from my knees and I was free. I was new. That day God delivered me from my addictions! Within minutes of my spiritual salvation, he took away my impulse to use [drugs].”

Within minutes? Drug addiction gone? Are you serious? This is the health, wealth and prosperity junk taught by the demonic Charismatic movement! PGM bases this errant teaching on a single Bible verse from 2nd Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Folks, all that verse means is that when you get saved, God's Holy Spirit now lives inside you. Your spiritual eyes have been opened (1st Corinthians 2:14-16). God DOES NOT take away your desire to sin when you get saved. PGM is teaching false doctrine. Being a new creature in Christ doesn't mean that your desires have changed, it means ownership has changed. You are no longer a child of the Devil, you are now a redeemed child of God, washed in the blood of the Lamb (1st Peter 1:18-19; 1st John 1:29).

As I have grown older, now 53, I have curiously followed the lives of my childhood musical mentors. In February of 2020 Ozzy announced to the world that he has Parkinson's Disease, and that 2019 was the most painful and miserable year of his life. The self-proclaimed “Prince Of Darkness” is now the man ready to die in his sins. It makes me sad, because they are people for whom Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary. This earthly life is so short. It's hard to believe that the strong, vibrant, healthy, Ozzy Osbourne that I remember Barking At The Moon (the name of one of his songs) in the 1980's, is now ready to die with Parkinson's Disease in 2020. Oh how the words of the Holy Bible rings true...

James 4:13-14, “Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”

It won't be long before John Michael “Ozzy” Osbourne is gone. I prayed for Ozzy today, that he would come to Jesus Christ before it is too late. Just because he prayed in a church 30 years ago isn't enough to get to Heaven. Only through submitting to God's righteousness, which is through faith alone in Jesus Christ, can anyone be saved. Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” I hope Ozzy comes to Jesus Christ before it is too late, when he stands before his Creator and has to give account for going through life as the self-proclaimed: “Prince Of Darkness.”
