Firewalking is the act of walking barefoot over a bed of hot embers or stones.

Firewalking has been practiced by many people and cultures in all parts of the world, with the earliest known reference dating back to Iron Age India – c. 1200 BCE.



Firewalking in Sri Lanka


Is this is what the Lord was referring to back in the Old Testament about...



Jeremiah Chapter 7

31. And they have built the high places of Tophet, which [is] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded [them] not, neither came it into my heart.


Ezekiel Chapter 16

20. Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. [Is this] of thy whoredoms a small matter,

21. That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through [the fire] for them?


...However I think today is a watered down version of the past.

That's an understatement! They placed their children alive into the mouth of a large carved stone idol with a fire burning at its center, and burned them alive. In some parts of the Bible, this is the worship of Molech, in others, the worship of Ba-al. It depended on the people group involved.
