Are Voodoo And Witchcraft To Blame For The Unprecedented Rise Of Murder, Rapes And Assaults Happening Now In The Dominican Republic?

People keep dying under mysterious circumstances in the Dominican Republic and people are starting to wonder if witchcraft and voodoo are the cause of it.

“There is something … something dirty at the bottom of all of this,” Nieves told news station WTXF. “She was 51 years of age, relatively healthy, no reason for her to go on vacation and just die so suddenly.”

Something strange is going on in the once-peaceful tropical country of the Dominican Republic. Known for its lush sandy beaches and gorgeous ocean vistas, a sinister spirit has risen up there and bad things are happening. Instagram influencers are being assaulted, Red Sox star David Ortiz was shot and nearly killed, tourists are visiting top-dollar resorts and dying mysterious deaths. What on earth is happening there? For starters, take a look at this image I found when I googled the term ‘voodoo in dominican republic’

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” 1 John 4:1-3 (KJV)

The Dominican Republic is the oldest European settlement which neighbors Haiti. The two were once one called Hispaniola before Haiti declared its independence in 1804. Although the two were once one, they resent one another. Though they went their separate ways, they still share some of the same practices and beliefs. The main religion in the Dominican Republic is Roman Catholicism. The dominant religion in Haiti is Voodoo. A large number of Dominicans practice voodoo, or “Las 21 Divisiones” which is Dominican voodoo. Dominicans do not identify their African roots, so they have created their own voodoo which is accepted of those who practice it and viewed different from Haitians’ voodoo practices.

Haitian Vodou

In Haiti, some Catholics combine aspects of Catholicism with aspects of Vodou

As you can see, in both Haiti and the in the DR, voodoo is practiced alongside Roman Catholicism as the two have much in common. In the Roman Catholic mass, the eucharist is stored in a container that is ironically called the ‘monstrance’, as in monster. The Catholic priest recites a Latin prayer as an incantation with which he believes will “pull Jesus down’ from Heaven and sacrifice Him all over again. This is where we get the term ‘hocus pocus‘ from. This pagan practice of transubstantiation is right in line with the type of voodoo practiced on Haiti and in the Dominican Republic. In the above photo, you see a Haitian voodoo ceremony being prepared and what do you see right in the middle of everything? A Roman Catholic monstrance. Hmm.

When a spirit rises in a land the way it is right now in the Dominican Republic. you need to stay far away from there. I have a good friend named Craig, and he went to Haiti a few years ago on missionary work, but when he came back his head was spinning from the level of witchcraft and voodoo that went on there. He was in no way prepared for what he saw there, but the Lord kept him safe. People who don’t know the Lord and who aren’t saved are at grave risk in places like the Dominican Republic right now. The people who survived their trips to the DR nearly all have said that there is ‘something strange going on’, they just don’t know what it is. Now you know.

Woman suspects sister’s Dominican Republic death is linked to latest series of shocking fatalities

FROM THE NY POST: The family of a Pennsylvania bride-to-be who died under circumstances similar to those of guests at the Grand Bahía Príncipe resort in the Dominican Republic says it’s “impossible” that her sudden death at a hotel owned by the same company isn’t related.

Yvette Monique Sport, of Glenside, Pa., died from a heart attack in June 2018 during a trip with her fiancé to the Bahía Príncipe in Punta Cana, news station WCAU reported.

“There is something … something dirty at the bottom of all of this,” Nieves told news station WTXF. “She was 51 years of age, relatively healthy, no reason for her to go on vacation and just die so suddenly.”

Sport had a drink at the minibar in her hotel room, took a shower and “wanted to retire for the evening,” according to her sister. When Sport’s fiancé tried to wake her, he realized she was unresponsive, according to WCAU. “He tried to nudge her again and there was no sound and then she was gone,” Nieves said.

Sport’s situation is strikingly similar to the case last month of 41-year-old Miranda Schaup-Werner of Allentown, Pa. Schaup-Werner also drank from the minibar in her room at the Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville resort. Her family said she succumbed to a heart attack hours later on May 25 in the hotel.

Five days later, an engaged couple from Maryland died during their visit to the same resort, officials said. Nathaniel Holmes, 63, and Cynthia Ann Day, 49, were found dead in their room from pulmonary edema and respiratory failure. Nieves said she wants to get in touch with the families of the victims to put pressure on the resort chain to investigate.

“It’s a complete fabrication that you could have as many people and they all have the same cookie-cutter outcome. It’s impossible,” Nieves told WCAU. A rep for the resort didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. READ MORE

US authorities are scrambling to get to the bottom of a rash of deaths of US tourists in the Dominican Republic, with the number of reported fatalities over the past year now rising to six.

FROM YAHOO NEWS: Three people whose deaths have been confirmed all arrived on May 25 in San Pedro de Macoris, a seaside resort in the south of the Caribbean country, Dominican authorities said. Miranda Schaup-Werner, 41, booked a room with her husband at the Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville hotel. She lost consciousness on the day of her arrival after going out on the balcony. She could not be revived by her husband or hotel medical staff.

Cynthia Day, 49, and Edward Holmes, 63, stayed in an adjacent hotel, Grand Bahia Principe La Romana. The couple from Maryland was found dead on May 30 in their room by hotel staff.

According to the Dominican Prosecutor’s Office, the three victims died of respiratory failure and pulmonary edema. Schaup-Werner also had a heart attack.

News of the deaths has drawn attention to earlier deaths of American tourists at island resorts that received no publicity at the time — some now suspect — may have been part of a pattern. READ MORE

Instagram influencer painted rosy picture of DR despite being groped, nearly kidnapped, she now is warning others not to go

FROM THE NY POST: An Instagram influencer known for traveling around the world with her husband said she was nearly abducted and sexually assaulted during their trip to the Dominican Republic.

Cora Smith — who, with her hubby, Jay, runs the Instagram account The Great Escape Blog, which has 26,000 followers — said she felt compelled to paint a rosy picture online of their three-month jaunt to the DR in 2018.

  • EDITOR’S NOTE: Look at this video they took while in the Dominican Republic of a Roman Catholic church they visited. Every square inch of the place filled with symbols also found in Freemasonry, the New Age, the Rosicrucians, and the list goes on and on. Dan Brown would have a field day in this place, and you wonder why there is an evil spirit in this country? (Click the right arrow in photo to watch the video)

“You feel this obligation to be honest, but a fear of rejection if you are,” Smith said in an interview with Business Insider. “I didn’t tell my story, and I think it’s out of fear.”

She first shared her harrowing experience in a blog post last year — but said she wanted to make it more publicly known following the recent spate of deaths in the DR and news that a Delaware mom was brutally attacked at a resort there. Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz was also recently shot while sitting at a bar in Santo Domingo.

“It’s not a safe country, and it’s not just the five-star resorts,” Smith said. “I feel like I can’t sit here and listen to the prime minister and say, ‘Our country is safe,’ because it’s not safe.” READ MORE

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Bible Believers House Church is solidly Baptist, and stands on the King James Bible, the old paths, and doctrine rightly divided and dispensationally correct

You are invited on June 22nd to attend the very first Sunday Service to be held at the Bible Believers House Church located inside the Bookstore here in downtown Palatka, Florida. Our service will start promptly at 11:00 AM EST, followed by an ‘Open Forum’ time for questions and answers regarding any subject raised in the the morning message. My message is entitled ‘Until The Fulness Of The Gentiles Be Come In’, perfectly timed in light of current events.

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” 2 Timothy 4:2 (KJB)

The Bible Believers Church is solidly Baptist, and first and foremost, it will be a doctrinal teaching church geared toward increasing your knowledge and understanding of God’s preserved word. When you come, expect to experience an old-fashioned worship service that is more at home in the first century than it would be in the 21st century. The King James Bible, psalms and hymns, with a blood-bought preacher standing behind an old wooden pulpit proclaiming Paul’s gospel and expounding the scriptures. If you’ve been looking for Church the way it was originally intended to be, calling lost sinners to get saved and encouraging the saints. come and be a part of what God is doing at the Bookstore.

Bible Believers House Church is located inside the NTEB Bookstore at 209 Nth 4th Street in Palatka, Florida. For more updates and events, please follow us on Facebook.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Our goal this June is to send out 5,000 King James Bibles, Gomez Spanish Bibles, scripture portions and books to all the jails and prisons who have reached out to us

We’ve been telling you about the high number of requests we’ve received through Bibles Behind Bars this month, from jails and prisons who suddenly find themselves without a resource for Bibles and they’ve turned to us. They are happily surprised when they find out that, in addition to King James Bibles, we now also offer the Gomez Spanish Bible, scripture portions in both English and Spanish, gospel tracts, and great discipleship literature as well. Bibles Behind Bars is not only growing, we’re maturing, and it’s exciting to watch the Lord work it all out.

“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.” Psalm 68:11 (KJB)

This week we sent Bibles, New Testaments and Scripture portions to the Laurel County Correctional Center in Kentucky, along with discipleship material as well. Gordon County Jail in Georgia was sent 500 King James Bibles, as well as books. The King James Bible Baptist Church with Brian Kelly in New York was sent Spanish Bibles and Scripture portions, with English Bibles on the way, too. Our goal for June is to send out 5,000 Bibles and books, and right now we are almost halfway there.

We still need support for the Catoosa County Jail in Georgia, Allen Correctional Center in Louisiana, and the Project South Africa request as well. All told that’s a little over 3,000 Bibles and books that are waiting to go out. If you have a passion for souls, come help us, we need you!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: A New Middle East Is Being Birthed Before Our Eyes And Israel Is Exactly Where The Prophets Said She Would Be

Published

on

June 19, 2025

By

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

A new Middle East is unfolding before our eyes, and the prophets have spoken with one voice about the role Israel would play in all of it. What comes next?

The Islamic Revolution in 1979 created an Iranian-dominated Middle East, and unleashed seemingly endless decades of Islamic terrorism around the world. Iran created a proxy terror network that included Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis and The Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The first crack in the wall appeared in 2020 with the introduction of the Abraham Accords, then the events of October 7th, which all lead us to where we are right now in 2025. A new Middle East is being formed, and Israel is right where the prophets said she would be at the end of the Church Age, at the dawn of Jacob’s trouble.

“But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.” Daniel 10:21 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the entire world has been on pins and needles these past 7 days, watching the astonishing and often-times horrifying events happening in the Middle East. These events have also been driving a wedge right down the middle of Trump’s MAGA Movement, half of whom stand for Israel and the other half do not. Whatever happens by the time this thing is all done, one thing is assured. You will have a very different Middle East, guaranteed. Over in Rome, the Catholic Church has been enjoying the “bump” they have gotten with the election of Pope Leo XIV, and Catholics worldwide are suddenly motivated and energized. Everywhere you look, there is electricity in the air, and that’s because we are on the cusp of the revealing of the man of sin who is coming to claim his Middle Eastern kingdom. On this episode, we will show you how very drastically the last days landscape is changing, and where it is all leading. Tick, tock, goes the end times clock.
