| Q: | Does the phrase "superstitions from the east" refer to Buddhism, Hinduism and/or New Age teaching, or maybe some other religion coming from the East? | ||||||
| A: | "Superstitions from the east" is paired with "divination like the Philistines" who were Israels neighbors to the west. The immediate reference is to the fortune telling and idolatry of Israel's neighbors to the east, including Babylon and Assyria. The warning of this passage can be applied to contemporary superstitition from the East such as those you mention. | ||||||
