The body movements in pantomime imitate something that is not entertaining.  Pantomiming mimics bondage.  With pantomime they appear as if they are trapped inside of some type of non-existent box.  There are many people, including Christians, who are in bondage to Satan and they are caught in spiritual boxes, behind spiritual prison bars.  For the Christian who is in the bondage of oppression they do not truly realize that Jesus Christ has opened their spiritual prison door and that they have freedom through Him to walk out at any time.  For one reason or another, they instead continue to stay in their cell when the door is wide open.

Pantomiming plays games with one’s imagination, and anything that brings confusion to one’s mind is dangerous.  Satan is the author of confusion and his plan is to destroy a person’s mind.  Pantomiming is like anything else that plays tricks with a person’s mind (i.e. magic, illusion, pantomime, hypnosis, meditation, etc) after time the person may find that it is no longer entertaining – and may be unable to distinguish between what is real and what is not.  I Corinthians 14:33:  For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.  Acts 19:18-19:  And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.  Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men:  and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.  The Greek word for ‘curious’ in Acts 19:19 is “periergos, per-ee’-er-gos; …magic”.
