“And there are seven kings: Five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space.”
Revelation 17:10
The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is the most mysterious book in the Bible. I do not claim to have been given full understanding and am searching and seeking the Lord for wisdom and understanding pertaining to His Word. I do know that the Holy Ghost will lead and guide us into ALL truth (John 16:13). It is our prayer that God is revealing to His children the truth regarding matters of the end of time or the final days, which I believe is now according to 2nd Timothy 3:2-4 which accurately describes the condition of the human race right now.
I believe that there are many interpretations of various scriptures that have relevance and that do shed more light into our minds. Some have used the term “duality of interpretation” to describe an interpretation of a scripture to have two types of meanings. In some cases it may go beyond two meanings, especially pertaining to the book of Revelation. Ultimately as we proceed on in time and near the fullness of the appearing of our Lord – His bride will know Him…that is to say – we will know the Truth.
Revelation 17:10 is the foundation of this article. Here we are told by the apostle John that he is seeing seven kings or kingdoms in time. He says that five have fallen, meaning that from his perspective in the human timeline, these five kingdoms have come and gone. He then says that one kingdom is or that one kingdom reigns in his lifetime. The other kingdom (the seventh) has not yet come, meaning that as he is seeing these kingdoms in the spirit he is aware that this kingdom is futuristic. He says that this kingdom will continue or exist for a short time. Revelation 17:11 says that the beast (representing global governance in Revelation 17:3) is the eighth kingdom and is an amalgamation of the seven kingdoms previously mentioned in verse 10. This eighth and therefore final kingdom will go into destruction. It is widely agreed that the first five kingdoms John sees are Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece. The sixth kingdom (the one that “is”) is the Roman Empire as this was the kingdom that was in place during John’s life. Now who or what represents the seventh kingdom? It could be that this seventh kingdom could have been the British empire of the 18th and 19th centuries. The British Empire was certainly a global empire. 200 years could also constitute what John calls a “short space”. In the 6,000 or so years of the Adamic race 200 years could indeed be considered a relatively short period of time. I believe that the British Empire does have a place in Bible prophecy but I do not think that it is this seventh kingdom. It certainly has a place as a “part” of the seventh kingdom but not the seventh kingdom itself. One thing that is common to the first six kingdoms (and will be a factor in the final eighth kingdom) is the persecution of God’s chosen people – the Jews. This is why I believe that the British Empire can be counted out as exclusively being the seventh kingdom. I believe that the common thread in these seven past kingdoms and the eighth that will be soon to manifest is the hatred and persecution of the Jews. Therefore, it is my belief that the seventh kingdom began its reign in Nazi Germany with the Third Reich. This fits the pattern of kingdoms that have been sworn enemies of the Jews. It also fits with respect to a kingdom that “must continue a short space”. Adolph Hitler’s actual rise and fall spanned a time frame of around twenty five years. He rose through the German political ranks after World War I in the 1920’s steadily building a strong following among the German people. The Nazi Party came to national power in 1933 and Hitler assumed full power as head of state (Führer und Reichskanzler) in 1934. The apparent end of the Nazi regime comes at the culmination of World War II in 1945. Though the Nazi regime was defeated by the Allied coalition, I believe that the Nazi spirit was not defeated but that it is still working throughout the world today. In fact, it has been working covertly to captivate the human mind for thousands of years.
What we see in the eight kingdoms of Revelation 17 is a similar amalgamation of kingdoms that we see in the image of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2:32-35. The final kingdom in both prophetic depictions is the Roman empire. This also correlates to the four beasts Daniel saw in Daniel 7:3-7 and Daniel 7:17-23. This fourth and last beast will be the reign of antichrist manifest on the earth. Omega Ministries has published an in depth study of this lineage in a series of newsletters titled The Incarnation of Satan.
One of the characteristics of the Roman Empire was the way that the Romans assimilated the culture and traditions of the lands that they conquered but yet enforced the Roman laws and dictates in order to control the empire. When you think about it, it is a brilliant tactic to pacify the people into thinking that they are maintaining their own heredity, culture and freedom all the while they are under full control of an oppressive governmental system. It has not changed to this day. A visual example of this can be seen with the use of the eagle by the Roman Empire, the Third Reich and the United States of America.

National Socialists
The German word Nationalsozialistische means “national socialist” and was shortened to “nazi”. From this point on, I will use the term “Nazi spirit” but it is in essence the spirit of antichrist. It is a spiritual force of wickedness that is blinding the minds of mankind and has been doing so for thousands of years and is getting more powerful as we wind down to the end of the age. Some of the things that will be brought forth in this article may seem like innocent coincidences but they are really subtly working iniquity into the collective minds of the human race – that is unless you are bought with the Blood of Jesus Christ. Some of the tactics of this Nazi spirit are changing. One of the ways of thinking that was central to Hitler’s mind was his notions of race. Hitler believed that the German people (Aryans) were superior to all other races especially Jews and Blacks. I believe that as the end of the age culminates we will see this same thought process in place but it will be altered even in the midst of the attempted extermination or at least the severe oppression of other races such as Jews and Blacks. While the fringe Nazi organizations that still exist today are a small minority they are for the most part looked upon with disdain. This is another satanic masterstroke. Because of the media portrayals these “neo-Nazis” are looked at as hate-mongering malcontents yet the same spirit is being fed to the masses subliminally via national pride. Satan is using race issues to divide all the while knitting mankind together via humanism (divide and conquer or order from chaos). It’s quite easy to see that some Americans become violently enraged if I don’t stand at attention to pledge the flag or sing the “Star Spangled Banner”. They’ll demand that I do and say as they want, yet if this really was a free country – who would care? How can anyone say that I’m free to say what I want based on the premise of the Bill of Rights, yet if I speak against this government, I’m viewed as a malcontent or a Communist and I must be shut up and/or exiled? Friends, this Nazi spirit is about to explode out of people right here even in the good ole US of A.
The Old Age
There is a movement afoot that is more of a spiritual movement rather than a physical organizational movement. This movement or belief system is called Odalism. The word "odal" stems from Proto-Germanic "ôþalan", or Norse "óðal", and in simplified terms translates into "heritage", "nobility", "kin" or "fatherland". Odin was the chief god in Norse (Viking) mythology and paganism. His name is related to óðr, meaning "mind", "excitation," "fury" or "poetry," and his role, like many of the Norse pantheon, is complex: he is a god of wisdom, war, battle and death. Incidentally, the son of Odin was Thor who was the god of thunder and whose image and symbolism is found throughout many Nazi era relics. Odin is also attested as being a god of magic, poetry, prophecy, victory and the hunt. This odalist movement is not a religion per se nor is it a political or economical system yet it incorporates religious, political and economical ideals. While it may have roots in Germanic peoples of Europe this is a spirit that is infecting on a global scale (Revelation 17:15). It is a unification of beliefs that will function as a replacement for the old nationalistic ideals of the past. Remember though, there will be a form of nationalism present but it will supersede one nation over many as we know them now. This will culminate in a global nationalism. I believe that the heritage in question here is the lineage of the seed of Satan or the Adamic race. Like Satan told Eve in Genesis 3:5 - “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” Humans are subconsciously being programmed to worship the god of this world by being made into lovers of their own selves or bluntly – Sodomites. This is the essence of self-worship. Humans not covered by the Blood of Jesus Christ are being made into the image their father the King of Sodom (Genesis 14) and this King will have himself a son as well to whom the sodomites will worship – he will be the Man of Sin (2nd Thessalonians 2:3)

| Odal Rune |
The symbol of Odalism is the Odal Rune (sometimes called othala). Although the word and movement (because of its etymology) are used only by people with Germanic ancestry who profess such an outlook, they specifically can contain elements of Ásatrú, certain other European--based philosophical ideas, or even denominational Christian ideas separated from their Biblical roots. Odalism is an unholy bondage consisting of respect for Mother Nature, love to the Germanic Gods and Goddesses, and loyalty to your kin. Respect for Mother Nature, means that odalists care for and wish to preserve the ancient trees, deep valleys, fresh rivers and beautiful heartlands. They believe that healthy and growing ecosystems matter, and that you cannot separate mankind from nature. As such, the green perspective of odalism is a form of naturalism, where the close relationship between how our natural world functions and how we as human beings function, is part of a continuous natural process. An odalist wishes to preserve and live in harmony with nature, not blindly destroying it for economic greed and material wealth, as seen with modern society. The television documentaries bragging on the wonders of “Mother Earth” even boast of their sorceries in their commercials by saying “prepare to be hypnotized” by the wonders of creation to be shown – paying absolutely no heed whatsoever to The Creator Himself. This is clearly told to us by God in Romans 8:22 and Romans 1:19-25. We see the news reports and National Geographic specials that show the whales and dolphins beaching themselves for apparently unknown reasons. We see how humans rally, pray and pay homage to these creatures not knowing that this is a fulfillment of the Word of God. The creatures are groaning awaiting the manifestations of the sons of God at the end of this age that’s why they beach themselves. We see the panic about the dramatic global climate changes and man clamors to attain some scientific or political answers all the while totally ignorant to the fact that all of creation groans and travails in pain because the sons of God are about to be brought forth and the age is about to end. The world is tribulating because of the sin of mankind. The earth is a living creation made by God and she knows that the time is short.
Note that it is correct to think of the earth in a feminine context. Even the Word of God refers to the earth as “her” Mark 4:28 and James 5:17-20. We must be watchful as to how the devil so cunningly mixes truth into his lies. If we are not grounded in the Word of God and led by the Holy Ghost we will be susceptible to stray into deception.
Nazi Germany glorified an idealized "Aryan/Norse" heritage; consequently extremists have appropriated many symbols from pre-Christian Europe for their own uses. They give such symbols a racist significance, even though the symbols did not originally have such meaning and are often used by non-racists today, especially practitioners of modern pagan religions. While not by nature a racist religion, Odinism is popular among white supremacists because its Old Norse origins are seen as representative of Aryan heritage and cultural pride. The symbol was common within Norse and ancient Germanic cultures and was later adopted by the Nazis for this reason. It always boils down to pride.
The Same Old New Age
We will be seeing a coming of a new age of the Human Family finally coming together after thousands of years of strife and war. In this new age the people will all (except for the agreed upon undesirables) be one big family of mankind that our all loving God has now joined together in a bond of love, peace and diversity. This delusion will seem to be so very right as the world has been reeled by calamity and total chaos, but the only thing that will not fit in will be the uncompromised Gospel of Jesus Christ as Lord and the only way to God the Father and Creator over all. There will be a false religious presentation that will seem to fit the Jewish Tanakh, the Muslim Koran and the Bible (primarily along with all other “minor” religions) all together as part of this human oneness coming together in peace, diversity and acceptance. Could the three frogs mentioned in Revelation 16:13 refer to the Jewish, Islamic and Christian monolithic religions? One thing is for certain; there is a unseen and wicked spirit of sorcery at work divining on the minds of billions of people to be made into the image of the beast (anti-Christ) spoken of in Revelation. The goal is for a human to be made into a worshiper of a false god. Any false idol worshipped will qualify the human to, by default, be a worshipper of Satan and to forsake the one True God – the Father of Jesus Christ. That is the purpose for the signs, symbols and identifying “marks”. The rune shown above is widely being used today to subliminally forge the human mind to be an idolater. Let’s take a look at the definition of what a rune is:
Main Entry: rune
Pronunciation: 'rün
Function: noun
Etymology: Old Norse & Old English run mystery, runic character, writing; akin to Old High German runa secret discussion, Old Irish rún mystery
1 : any of the characters of any of several alphabets used by the Germanic peoples from about the 3d to the 13th centuries
2 : MYSTERY, MAJIC
3 [Finnish runo, of Germanic origin; akin to Old Norse run] a : a Finnish or Old Norse poem b : POEM, SONG
The interesting thing to note in this definition is the use of the descriptions mystery, magic, poem and song as this pertains to the god Odin. Now let’s look at some of these ancient runes being used today to captivate society in idolatry. The most prominently displayed rune is the “remembrance ribbon”:

Don’t think that the similarity between the shape of these ribbons and the Odal rune is just a coincidence. It is also noteworthy that many of these ribbons incorporate the upside down triangle which is widely known as a symbol of homosexuality. We’ll see another example later of symbols that were once was abhorred by the world but are now seemingly long forgotten. These icons are all over America. You name the cause or disease and there is an associated ribbon. They even have them for sports teams. There is a lot of significance even in the fact that they are called “remembrance” ribbons. Imprints are being made into the human minds to burn these idols into the subconscious part of our mind which is the part of our minds where the spirit realm has preeminence. These icons are displayed by people of all walks of life, Christian and non-Christian alike. What this is accomplishing is the formation of a unity of thinking. People will identify with anyone that displays these symbols. Even if they have different “causes” the underlying “mark” will be imprinted in their minds and they will be spiritual “brothers” so to speak. Now here is where there is a little twist to this remembrance rune.
If you turn the rune on its side what do you see?

Could this be the Christian “fish” symbol?
Let’s look at this sign more closely. Even though it may seem to be outside the scope of this article, we’ll conclude by looking at the dominating spirit that sits atop of the whole thing, according the Bible in Revelation 17:9 to see how this ties together.
I believe that this so-called Christian fish symbol is nothing but a divining rod to make people into idolaters. I believe that the Bible even tells us of this in advance. 1st Chronicles 10 6-10 gives us an account of the death of Saul. Remember that the people of Israel wanted a king to rule over them whereas God Himself desired to rule them (1st Samuel 8:4-10). Despite Samuel’s instruction that he heard from the Lord, they persisted with their desire and the Lord gave them what they wanted (1st Samuel 8:22) and Saul was anointed King (1st Samuel 10:1). Now, what happened when Saul died? They striped him and put his armor in the house of their gods and they fastened his head in the temple of Dagon, who I believe was the chief god of the Philistines. They nailed Saul’s skull in the temple of Dagon. The Hebrew word for “head” used here is “gulgoleth” which is where we get the name of the place where Jesus was crucified (John 19:17). Dagon was a Babylonian god that the Philistines worshipped. Dagon (from the Hebrew word “dag” which means “fish”) was a fish god who was half-man and half-fish. Some say that Dagon was the father of Baal and like Baal was a god of agriculture and prosperity. We can see Saul as a type of the end-time false church. The people choose a man over God – just as the apostate church worships its personalities rather than the person of Jesus Christ. The false church has its mind (shown as Saul’s skull) being imprinted (stamped or nailed) with a Babylonian false god. Real Christians have no need for a symbol to show who they are – even the symbol of a cross let alone a fish. Real Christians will be known by their fruit or the new nature that is imparted to us through the Blood of Jesus and a mind transformed by the Holy Ghost illuminating God’s Word to his people.
Here is another sign of the Babylonian god Dagon being represented in the miter that a Roman Catholic “Pope” wears on his head. Again we see this Old Testament picture connecting the head (mind) and a false Babylonian god (fish).

Used almost exclusively today to denote membership in the Christian religion, the symbol once held a very different meaning (even to the early Christians who adopted it). The words usually found inscribed within, ΙΧΘΥΣ (Ichthus), is Greek, meaning fish. The emblem became significant to Christians after St. Augustine, who extracted the word from the acrostic prophecy of the Erythraean Sibyl, and applied the kabbalistic technique of notarikon to the word to reveal "Jesus Christ, God's son, savior." The custom of early Christians to communicate by drawing a portion in the dust was carried over from the practice of the ancient Pythagoreans, who discovered the shape's unique properties and made it an important part of their teachings. In Pagan times, this glyph was associated with the Goddess Venus, and represented female genitalia. Early depictions of this Christ depict him as an infant within the vesica (usually called a mandorla, meaning 'almond shaped.'), which represented the womb of Mary (and often, the coming together of heaven and earth in the body of Jesus- part man, part god).
Ichthys was the lover-son of the ancient Babylonian sea goddess Atargatis, and was known in various mythic systems as Tirgata, Aphrodite, Pelagia or Delphine. The word also meant "womb" and "dolphin" in some tongues, and representations of this appeared in the depiction of mermaids. The fish is also a central element in other stories, including the Goddess of Ephesus (who has a fish amulet covering her genital region), as well as the tale of the fish that swallowed Osiris, and was also considered a symbol of Isis.
The fish symbol may have also been known as "the Great Mother," a pointed oval sign, referred to as the Vesica Piscis. Also, in ancient Greek, "fish" and "womb" were denoted by the same word ("delphos"). Its link to fertility, birth, feminine sexuality and the natural force of women was acknowledged also by the Celts, as well as pagan cultures throughout northern Europe. Over fifty shrines have been found throughout the region which depicts a fishlike deity, a female creature who incorporates aspects of an egg, a fish and a woman which could have been a primeval creator or a mythical ancestress. The "Great Goddess" was portrayed elsewhere with pendulous breasts, accentuated buttocks and a conspicuous vaginal orifice, resembling an upright Vesica Piscis.

| Vesica Piscis is the image of a vagina |
With references being made to Venus and the “Great Goddess” it should be clear that what we are dealing with here is something that the Bible shows us over and over again as the constant that always thwarted the Israelites from coming into God’s rest. It was always a grove or graven image that was carved into wood or stone in the Old Testament but has now been changed to a graven image imprinted into the human mind by spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). The Hebrew word for “grove” is ‘asherah. She is one and the same as Asherah, Astarte, Venus, Ishtar (from which we get “Easter”), the Queen of Heaven…the list goes on all through the human timeline. Most important for a Christian to understand is that this is the whore that rides the beast (Revelation 17:3). Satan is in a systematic and stealth-like way is turning the world upside down by effeminizing the male or patriarchal authority that should be in place and at the same time women are becoming masculine and assuming authority that is not legally ordained. The human mind is supernaturally being engrained with the female image and turning the worship of humans to the improper matriarchal ruler ship of the Satan rather than turning to the proper patriarchal ruler who is God the Father via His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Rather than having Adam’s patriarchal authority in place as ordained by God – as it was, it is now Eve and matriarchal authority that rules. And this authority is being reinforced by all these images inundating the human mind – both in the church and the secular world.

These next images show of a stealth desensitization that has taken place over a relatively “short space”. During World War II there was a disdain for anything to do with Nazi Germany. There was a genuine hatred of the Nazis by America and the Allied countries. In the years that soon followed the war, many movies were made about the war. Even in those presentations there was an animosity toward the Nazis and they were easily identified by their uniforms and the various symbols that adorned the uniforms. Of course the most widely recognized Nazi symbol was the “swastika”.
|
 |
| Nazi Flag with Swastika | Hindu Swastika |
Where did the “swastika” come from?
The swastika (from Sanskrit svastika, from su "well", and asti "being", thus "good fortune" or "well-being") is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles in either left-facing or right-facing direction.
The swastika is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Odinism. In the Western world, it is most widely known and used as a symbol of Nazism (the Hakenkreuz, "hook-cross"). The Hakenkreuz was the Pagan Germanic symbol of the God of Thunder known as Donnor or Thor.
Historians have also discovered its use in ancient times ranging from the Hittites in Asia Minor to the Native American Indians. This sign is also known as Brigit's Cross for the Celtic goddess Brigit (Brig, Briga), nowadays also worshipped by the Wiccans.
Now before we look at the next sign of the times, let me first remind you that spiritual things affect the mind. We can have our mind affected by the Holy Spirit or by unholy spirits. Consider the helmet of the Nazi soldier. Also consider that the helmet protects the head wherein lies the brain which is the organ that controls our reasoning and logic function etc.

The helmet that the Nazis wore had a distinct shape that was quite different than that of the American soldier’s helmet during WWII.
How has it become possible that something synonymous with what was once (and still is) thought to be the most evil empire to exist on the earth has become a part of the American uniform (and most other countries as well) – something that covers the head and protects the brain? How could the American military adopt the same style helmet that the notorious Nazi Germans once wore?

Not only has this Nazi spirit invaded the U.S military it has bled over into police forces and S.W.A.T teams worldwide.

Anyone familiar with the popular Star Wars movies knows that even the evil Darth Vader was given a sympathizing projection as the story unfolded that the evil dark knight was the father of movie’s hero Luke Skywalker. Even in the last of the episodes we are to feel saddened by the demise of the evil one. The truth of the matter is that even some that call themselves Christians idolize Star Wars and are blinded to the fact that it is nothing but witchcraft and sorcery disguised as a storybook fable of good overcoming evil.

Another widely seen Nazi symbol is the Iron Cross.
|
 |

The Nazi cross is seen in many different realms from bikers to musicians. This sign can be seen on T-shirts and bumper stickers. Many times it can be seen accompanied with a skull and bones signifying a tie with a spirit of death. Again, how is it possible that anyone would think to associate themselves with something so evil? There is a large contingent of people that would categorize themselves as a “biker”, from the occasional “week-end warrior” to the “hard-core”. This spirit of death has captivated this community and what we really have is this rebellious, and enraged persona that has transferred from the “Hell’s Angels” and now we even have “biker ministries” at many, many churches today. Nobody walks around with an angry look on their face unless they are really angry. It’s clear to see even in the faces (Isaiah 3:9). Our only hope lies in Jesus Christ and the resurrected church coming to life to come against the gates of hell to free these captive souls.
The Whore Riding the Beast
To conclude we’ll look more at Revelation 17:9-11. First he says “here is a mind that has wisdom”.
In verse 9, the seven heads are actually seven mountains. There is a difference between a mountain and a hill. Careful study of the New Testament Greek makes this clear. He is not talking about just the Seven Hills of Rome – He is talking about mountains. The fact that the number seven is used probably refers to the fact that there are seven continents on the earth. This tells us that this is a global system of headship or government. It’s a female that is sitting on this beast. To break it down to its simplest form, the whore represents Eve and the beast she rides represents Adam. In the Garden of Eden, Adam abdicated or betrayed his authority (Luke 4:6). At that point Eve was handed the authority that God had given to Adam. Adam had been given dominion over the earth and he bowed down to the ‘asherah. Another aspect of this revelation is that the whore is the false church, typified by the Pharisees and Sadducees in the New Testament, and the beast is the government or Rome. In the end, the real bride of Christ (the called out church) will stand against this whore who will then call on the government to try to extinguish the light, just as it happened when Jesus first walked the earth.
Verse 10 shows that seven kingdoms have expanded the entire human timeline since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden.
Verse 11 says that the beast (Adam) was – he lived for a time – and he is not, meaning Jesus crucified that nature in the spiritual realm on the cross 2,000 years ago (Genesis 3:15) – even he is, that old Sodomite nature still exists in the natural realm which will characterize the eighth kingdom at the end of the age (Revelation 13:3). He says that the eighth kingdom is of the seven, meaning that parts or characteristics of the previous seven kingdoms throughout time have merged into this eighth kingdom similar to the depiction in Daniel 2:32-35. Notice how the materials reflecting the kingdoms in the statute start off as more pure and softer (gold) and work their way down through time (from the head to the feet) becoming less pure yet stronger and harder (iron). Ultimately it is going into perdition or destruction.
God desires us to know Him and He has given us His Word. He does not desire to see any perish yet the Word of God is laid forth as a mystery and we must diligently seek Him for wisdom and discernment so that we can rightly divide the truth (2nd Timothy 2:15). He could have just written it down in such simple terms that everyone would understand and we’d all be saved but He didn’t. God is going have His will fulfilled no matter what we think is going to happen or how we think it is going to happen. The Bible even says that He will allow the wicked of the world to take part in the fulfilling of His will (Revelation 17:17, 2nd Thessalonians 2:11-12).
Many try to say that they know for certain how some things will unfold. Nobody really knows for sure. As I write this in April of 2007 it looks like we are on the verge of having a woman become President. If that happens that should tell us that “the fat lady is about to sing”, i.e. the show is about over. That will be the last nail in the coffin of this country when a woman is named Commander In Chief. Does that mean it is going to happen? What man knows? A lot could happen between now and January 2009. Something so catastrophic could happen in this country that they would have to cancel the election. Even so, with as much disdain that people have toward Hilary Clinton and Bill Clinton you would think that it would be impossible for her to be elected but there are supernatural powers at work on this Earth. Even as politically green as Barack Obama is you might think that he wouldn’t be able to pull off a victory but again, there are supernatural powers at work. However the means, eventually America is going to crumble. Just like the Roman Empire collapsed under the weight of its own debauchery and corruption so will America. Now I could see this scenario: the United States becomes an economically crippled nation due to the astronomical level of debt, the overburdened tax system, the amount of money being poured into the war in Iraq etc. Probably millions will die due to resulting disease, chaos, anarchy and nuclear and/or natural devastation. With the economic collapse of America, the entire world economic situation will fall like dominoes. A charismatic leader takes charge and begins to pull together the solutions and peace treaties that bring an apparent change and unity to the world (Revelation 6:2, Daniel 8:23-25). How is this person put into this position of power? Is he elected or does he take over by default? Perhaps the female U.S. President is killed in a terrorist explosion (maybe even thrown from a window?) and the young and charismatic Vice President is put in power. Could America be a natural manifestation of the deadly head wound that is healed and comes to life? It would not be America that takes over the world, but the spirit of the Old America (driven by the spirit of heritage or humanism), the melting pot of all cultures and religions this time including the whole world under its umbrella not just one nation set off by itself becoming a tyrannically oppressive bully. The “mantra” will be - “We’ve learned from our mistakes and now we have a leader that has come to us from God Almighty to bring us all (religions and governments and people) together as one”…And the whole world wondered after the beast (Revelation 13:3).
No matter how we may speculate the end-time events will unfold we know that they are undoubtedly going to unfold. All along, the spirit of antichrist has been working iniquity into the mind of mankind. The signs presented in this article are just the tip of the iceberg. It is not a conclusive list by any means. The devil has perpetrated so many schemes and conspiracies that it would be impossible for us to even try to dig them all up and figure them all out. But whether it be done through these and other signs such as the Mardi-Gras beads (denoting sexual perversion) and other amulets hanging from rear view mirrors to the countless bumper stickers, tee shirts and ball caps humans use to display their “gods”, the damage done to humans via idolatry is severe. We are on the Titanic and it is about to go under. The only way of escape is through the church coming in the power of God the Holy Ghost and preaching the Truth with mighty signs and wonders following. This day is coming soon. Do you have ears to hear and eyes to see? Do you know the Truth and are you being made free from the yokes of this temporal life or are you just living life going to a job and going to a church and counting your blessings. Are you being prepared to meet your Maker while the world systems and those joined to them are being prepared for destruction?
“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
2nd Thessalonians 2:1-12
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Romans 12:2
“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
But ye have not so learned Christ;
If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
Ephesians 4:13-24
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.”
Romans 8:1-8
“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Phillipians 2:1-11
