In our ever-increasing immoral society we will see demonic activity grow ever stronger prior to the arrival of the “Man of Sin”, “That Wicked, the son of perdition” commonly called “The Antichrist”. In this video (although I jump around in my thoughts) I try and give a brief description of the demonic oppression which I have learned in my life. The man who trained me in ministry had 3 doctorate degrees and worked as an Exorcist in Baltimore City.

This is a fascinating video below: marking the significance of 911 to America, by Rabi Jonathan Cahn.
It is a warning for repentance; it shows the birth of our economic strength in New York when Henry Hudson sailed up the river and founded Manhattan with a trade station on September 11, 1609 this was “the gate” later having two “Twin Towers” the entrance to America’s economic power!
The Pentagon began on September 11, 1941 as a Military Superpower; this was predicated by God, to a nation’s founding once dedicated by Washington’s inauguration on 26 Wall Street, Financial District, Manhattan, New York City on April 30, 1789. Washington warned not to turn away from God, or we would face destruction.
The new financial group was known as the “Buttonwood” group (Sycamore tree) later called Wall Street. On September 11, 1789 Alexander Hamilton was named the first U.S. Secretary to the Treasury.
All this represents the blessings and downfall of America as a Superpower to the world, the symbolism is reflective of the warnings given to Israel before her destruction.
It was a Sycamore tree (the Biblical symbol of blessing) which was destroyed in Manhattan on September 11, 2001, along with the Pentagon as a wall of Military might. 9-11-2001: was only the beginning of judgment towards America in 7 year cycles– (Biblical Jubilee) which rather could have been a renewal of blessings if we had repented from our wickedness instead!
The Harbinger II : Part 1,2,3 with Dr. James Dobson
It is most interesting to me that the scriptures talk about a humble and contrite heart (faith of a child) being required to follow the Lord. In contrast to this, Pride and coupled with Elitism seems to me to be the way of controlling others – even as a small god. The “new world leader” will be revealed as a caring and loving sort towards humanity, but the Bible later speaks about an abrupt change of demeanor as one demanding to be worshipped as God: or face death! The first step in controlling people is to be able to track them, and that you cannot buy or sell without the “Mark of the Beast” (Satan). The Lord will crush him with the brightness of his coming, but in my estimation, we have to have a build up first towards global tracking and control – for the “Good” of all Humanity!

The whole basis of understanding today, is completely different since before the Renaissance period in the 15th Century. Humanism has now nearly completely replaced the understanding of fallen humanity, and the Lord God’s provision for sin. In my estimation, history has disproved any ideal of men evolving, or governing themselves successfully without the acknowledgment of God; and need for His forgiveness to a fallen world.
Transcript:
Allow me to give a quick overview of what was once understood by Western Cultures in the world, and why it is important to have Nation States, law enforcement and Armies.
Based upon the Bible, which was once the largest selling book in the world; man understood that humanity was inherently wicked, because of the fall from grace in the garden of Eden.
The world is a sin cursed place, along with fallen humanity. Governments (some better than others) were given by the Lord, so that we might have some assemblance of order, and so that anarchy would be curtailed.
An assemblance of an authority structuring has always been necessary to keep the peace, for without it man and the world would disintegrate into chaos!
Godly leadership is based upon servitude to people; as in putting the welfare of others above oneself. This is what makes a good leader, and not a selfish, greedy, or power-hungry representative.
The humanistic teachings of evolution, which was embraced by Karl Marx in the 19th Century has overrun our education systems globally; and now the “theory of evolution” is embraced as fact.
Marx understood that the best way to overthrow the idea of a righteous God, was to teach there is no God, and that man is supreme. This also creates a false premise which teaches that mankind is evolving and becoming more and more competent to rule the earth in goodness.
This is all “the big lie” from the Father of lies – the Devil. It is my opinion that one of the reasons the Bible speaks of wars and rumors of wars, is because of a global power grab in just who will play God!
There will be no peace until the prince of peace returns to judge the living and the dead.

The Saint’s White Raiment only obtained in Christ: is unspotted by works of our flesh.
In my estimation, we only have two choices in how to walk “in Christ” ; we either realize our utter dependency on “Christ’s work alone” within our lives, or we attempt and apply a type of legalism in achieving a superior walk toward perfection, while “using” the Holy Spirit’s assistance.
To the natural understanding within our souls, this may look to be a good option. Yet I firmly believe, this is like taking something blemished and stained of the flesh, and attaching it to an unblemished and unstained article yet expecting it to remain pure.
No place which I’m aware of in the Bible speaks of taking a filthy rag and then laundering it with an unstained garment.

On board one of my tugboats I had a man tell me once that I have had enough experiences for three lifetimes! Of course, I ate up that recognition, especially when constantly made to feel like I was the lesser early in life.
The Character of a person I have always felt was worth far more than earthly accomplishments, and yes, you can have both, but most people get “puffed up” in ego by their status in the world with few remaining humble enough in realizing that most of their personal gains are but a gift from God, and not of themselves!
You will remember that Jesus told Pilot that all the authority he was given on earth, was by his Father who was in heaven. With that, Pilot attempted to wash his hands of the Lord’s condemnation by men!
I have known a few men who remained humble, despite their outstanding success in the world, one was a cousin of mine who had been a paratrooper during World War Two. He understood the value of a man’s character despite his station in life.
But then we will always have the ones who I call the “smoke blowers”; these type people create an illusion of grandeur while projecting their importance onto others. This is not to say that they have not had their successes and experiences in life, only that they tend to be creative in over-dramatizing themselves, often at the expense of others. This is what allot of politicians do, they enhance their importance and sometimes will even fabricate stories, thus drawing more attention to themselves.
Like most people who have known some degree of struggle within their lives, I find these types of people repulsive. I had once met a man who served in the infantry during the First World War (The great War) in France under General Black Jack Pershing; I was humbled and amazed at what was most important to him: wool blankets which he pointed to on our museum ship, he got very excited exclaiming how wonderful it was to have a wool blanket while in the trenches of WW I, in keeping warm from the snow and rain, and then he added, if you had two blankets; boy you were in heaven!
I then realized just how spoiled our society has become to those who had lived 100 years ago! The character of these old timers often embraced the very basics of life’s necessities, as if they were of a great prize, which was very sobering to me!
One thing which remains consistent to me, is that the one who struggles in life, seems to develop a greater character then people who have simply been given earthly wealth and status. And oftentimes people who increase their prominence in the world tend to forget either wear they came from and will often look down upon others, who may have overcome even greater obstacles within their lives!
This goes far beyond race, gender, beliefs, or place of origin; rather I am speaking about the character of the individual soul, the merit of an individual and what they do with what they have been given yet overcome. Jesus Christ, (my Lord) exemplifies to perfection the Supreme character of what a man or women should actually be; he was God incarnate yet was humble enough to wash the dirt from others feet!
This should be the nature exemplified in all of us who claim his Glorious name; yet “blowing smoke” in the face of others we consider as “lesser” should be shameful to us who have been given so very much in being redeemed.
I don’t intend to be mean-spirited in pointing out errors I have found in another’s teaching, yet rather in becoming a victim myself to some near heretical ramblings, I offer the following insights…
I once spent six years in street ministry learning Bible from a man holding three doctorates which he spent 22 years in seminary to achieve. Yet more importantly, he could move in the things of God, and not just teach about them. He was a doer of the word, not just a hearer – or what we used to call on ship, a repeater. I even have had experience in some dealing with demons, as Dr. Gross was one of two top exorcist in Baltimore City.
To a large degree, I too have moved in the power of the Lord, and if I didn’t scare people by sharing these events in my life, then they were more like stolen treasures to me: as I had willingly attempted to build up others in encouragement of the Lord, within the leadership with the things I had experienced. Little did I realize, but most were ravaging wolves and pigs who perhaps unwittingly just wanted to make a name for themselves.
Have you ever heard it said that the first witness is of God, and the others Satan? I never understood this till recently, as I had never met a man who speaks so fervently about the Lord, in being with him, following him, and moving in his power. Yet he often speaks as if, no others are capable of doing it, and the past churches he often speaks about are certainly not moving within the power of the Lord (any longer). He speaks continually about all types of churches who once had something of the Lord, yet no longer do… He says this is deadly serious stuff, and warns of the broad roader’s destruction should they not heal to the Lord continually.
Allot of people are attracted to such a showman, especially in having a large amount of understanding of the scriptures, (including myself). Yet I learned later, that the man cannot move within the things of God, which he often preaches about to others!
I can tell you, which for the most part, his preaching he is correct; as I too once moved in the power of the Lord, and I must say I experienced rejection by most churches, probably starting in the mid 90’s. Yet the reason for not moving now, is because I believe the Lord has chosen this time to remain silent!
No matter how fervently one follows the Lord, it is not possible to move him to power within your life, unless he chooses to move (in the manner – in which you might wish). I learned this years ago as, when he did move in power within my life, it was often a surprise to me – as I’m simply a jar made of clay like any other.
If the Lord has decided to shelve me for some later use, that is up to him. As “I wasn’t there when he made the heavens and the earth”, but I rather am most grateful when he does decide to use me in some task. What I find most irritating is one who chooses to speak for God, when they have not the authority nor commissioning! It seems to me the brethren of today are experiencing the great falling away, and all the attacks on other brethren (Churches) will not, and does not change the place and time we are in within world history. All the fervent preaching in the world won’t change this fact of the history we are all witnessing. As an example, I have been watching television for years, and I never could understand why Hollywood, and others found acceptable the stars and behavior exhibited and promoted in programming. This is primarily because a believer has a nature change, yet the world does not, and to them we seem antiquated and rigid.
Yet nowadays it is now most evident, that decency and righteousness have become an item of the past: it is as if the staging has collapsed, with special interest groups, and debauchery being sold all over the world to people, in any color, taste or form.
Also, most churches are dead now, and even the PCA is under tremendous LGBT attacks, by people who wish to be identified as followers of Christ: (yet cannot be, as the fruit is wrong within them) – in accordance with the scriptures. Yet false brethren continually push the envelope in defiance of God.
Sin is the issue, and I am convinced this is the age of strong delusions, which the Bible prophesied about. I cannot fault a man’s zeal for the Lord, but I must condemn the condemnation of other real brethren, whom he feels have become unworthy of their calling, and have taken the broad road, which leads to spiritual death. The man then may cut off all forms of communication with you as he fancies, (as he has done it before) but unless you have sinned against God, and the brethren, he has no justification in accordance with the scriptures, and needs much more than a couple sycophants to collaborate his viewpoint in condemning another (which is the wrong type of judging).
Allot of people can pump up other believers to be fervent in the faith, and even zealous to gain “more power” in the Lord, but this will not happen unless the Lord himself decides to empowers you! It seems to me, when I had run short of stories of the Lord empowering me, to the man, then I was accused of “not being in the right place any longer with God”, and even “chastened of God” when I got sick. But I’m quite sure that if I had, had “another” miraculous near death experience of the Lord, I would have stifled this type of spiritual judgmentalism; which is deeply destructive to an actual child of God. And all for the sake of aggrandizing oneself in the eyes of others, and feeding your own sense of grandeur about yourself: assuredly because of the same type of rejection which you have suffered from others and so feel justified in doing the same thing, I suspect. This is horrid to me, anyone who loves the truth of God so much, yet will then castigate others upon being challenged; especially when he falls short of his own expectations’ of what he expects from others (Romans 2: 1-4) !
I think a combination of hurt, rejection and wounded pride are to blame for such an idiosyncratic viewpoint of people, in whom may now consider you an opponent or challenger to their “Narrow Road” legalism, which has unwittingly been used in justifying oneself before the Lord, while condemning others. This poor fellow even speaks about a condemnation upgrade from hades to hell for the wicked, in given that the more scripture they know (truth), (yet they do not do), leads to deeper punishment prior to the great throne judgment. This could be very possible, but I would hate to have a head full of scripture (truths), yet preach it as a heretic to others, only to later suffer the very condemnation which you have preached about, God forbid!
All actual brethren and Elders, need much prayer and compassion in this time of great trail; but instead, the love of many has grown cold, and many believers are tossed upon the ash heap unjustifiably. This is precisely why two or three elders are needed prior to condemning another believer in the church, as it is too easy to misjudge another – even if you claim to be nearly infallible in your walk with the Lord!

I have been a member of many exclusive clubs in my life, and the most exclusive was the most religious of them. All these religious’ clubs are exclusive and if you are given the cold shoulder, it may take some time before you experience the acceptance which you first enjoyed when you joined!
The most exclusive of the exclusive clubs, are the ones who are aimed at the core of wear we live, our hearts! We all love to think how exclusive we are to another, and our personal walk with Jesus Christ. When aggrandized by the leadership of our exclusive club to other members, this will elevate us to cloud nine, and only the most exclusive member and founder of the club; who’s holding cloud number “ten” is only capable of keeping us there.
In this exclusive club, I was once described as the most “born again man” the leader had ever met!
God forbid that day when we are kicked off our cloud nine, and cast down to the gutter with the rest of the trash in the world, and found licking the wounds of our beat up and rejected soul! If that’s not bad enough, we have now been told that not only have we been rejected from our most exclusive club, but that the Lord God has rejected us also, and never to be able to return!
This is an example of a type of Lordship Salvation club, and even if you are one of its founding members’; you are still subject to the rejection of the men who see themselves as spiritually superior to someone else!
The most tragic thing about this type of self-delusion, is that in all the humility which is humanly possible, they will insist they are not carnally motivated in the least, but spiritual. They may heap false guilt on one another, yet will never see the spiritual depravity of their own lives!
The late Oswald Chambers consistently warned about these types of very proper, well learned and spoken types of believer’s, who are always at the ready to cast down another; based on their beliefs held in sanctimonious pride, in how close “they walk” with Christ!
This is the most, exclusive of the exclusive, and slipping from grace to over the cliff is but a few steps away, when projections of false guilt could be hurled at any moment, especially when a believer may be experiencing a personal trial of life!
Beware, it is a long fall from cloud nine to the gutter, even when we do have Jesus beside us! Forgiveness is the key to healing from such a fall, in realizing we are all fallible, or may even be guilty of having such an inflated view of ourselves in walking with the Lord.
Let me assure you that no one has ever obtained to the level of purified gold, or silver which Jesus (God incarnate) became for us in the atonement for sin. And even the greatest of the Apostles saw themselves as unworthy vessels, who continually strived to be more like Christ.
What a despicable human being it is who thinks themselves as above reproach, and yet will stand in condemnation to another – although they claim they do not!
I don’t speak Latin, but I know Rev 17-18 speaks about the “Mother of Harlots” (a Harlot is an Antichrist or an unfaithful Bride) as in 1 John 2:18-19.
This “Chief-antichrist” introduces Satan or “Lucifer” (that Wicked) to the world, who performs many signs and wonders, and then world accepts him as God. These 7 rivers, hills, and so forth, have to be Rome! So, I am not at all surprised this is being announced so “that wicked – the man of sin”, can be revealed and worshiped as God.
I have posted before that I believe we are close to seeing “the god of this world appear” and introduced by the false Church… If these latin words really do signify Lucifer as God, we are right on the threshold of Satan’s short reign on earth, who will be destroyed 2 Thessalonians 2: 8 > 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:
Of course this post is a few years old, but brethren have been waiting millenniums to see this day, and I am no different..!

II. The souls of true saints, when they leave their bodies at death, go to be with Christ, as they go to dwell in the immediate, full and constant sight or view of him.
III. The souls of true saints, when absent from the body go to be with Jesus Christ, as they are brought into a most perfect conformity to and union with him.
IV. Departed souls of saints are with Christ, as they enjoy a glorious and immediate intercourse and converse with him.
V. The souls of the saints, when they leave their bodies at death, go to be with Christ, as they are received to a glorious fellowship with Christ in his blessedness.
The saints in heaven have communion, or a joint participation with Christ in his glory and blessedness in heaven, in the following respects more especially…

Justifying “disbelief” in using the Bible…
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
In an effort to be transparent about “myself”, (a fallible human being) I’m earnestly struggling to express what I can see in the Spirit of Truth, in using the name of the Lord. I believe that most brethren lose friends nowadays; not because they are following Jesus, but rather because of selfishness. Jesus predicted these things would happen in the end:
Matthew 24:9-12 (KJV) 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Romans 2: 1 (KJV)
1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

Elders should be able to discern the difference in a brother or sister of the Lord, whereas a younger member of the body of Christ, is still yet unable to do so. This is partly because so few elders exist nowadays who have the understanding of the different mindsets of reputable doctrines, (which we use to communicate in following Christ with others). And Satan uses these doctrinal divides, often destroying the unity of the body. Unfortunately most churches don’t understand the difference between the soul (emotional reasoning), the human spirit, and the Holy Spirit’s place and functions: which causes problems and unneeded divisions amongst the body.

I am an old school American, born under 48 States in the union. My family is church people (the conservative Bible believing type, not liberals) and the moral principles of the proper family unit were stressed.
I went into the military in 1980, women were still new to being accepted in the services in the Academies. I think this was only right, being that the male was to be the provider and defender of his family. Sexual tensions were the result of this mixing, and I was on one of the first ships to try such debauchery with their temptations and newly formed power struggles of the sexes.
Women do have a place in the services in building up the strength, but are a deficit when taxing the men even further, in there so-called move towards equality.
These are a couple of bullet points to a much more compromising picture to so-called human rights.
Destruction of the unborn while still in the womb, was a real dive from the moral cliff of decency, and can only be compared to the eugenics used by the NAZI’s in an attempt to get rid of the unwanted.
The women’s movement, is known to have its roots in the annals of Marxist doctrines, in an attempt to tear down the structuring of the family, and society in general. Also at that time Homosexuality was being pushed by Hollywood and other decadent forces for acceptance into the main stream.
The American Civil Rights movement was in full swing, and had corrected many evils of injustice, yet it came with its own new sets of new problems, and creating a greater resentment towards the white male in particularly.
I had never discriminated against another because of their race, religion, or ethnic background, yet I sure experienced it as early as my 20’s working two hours prior to me piers showing up, and two hours after they left, in making the same pay. They happened to be black, but it was the white supervisors who initiated (off the record) this new work ethic. I never complained, I was happy to have the job, however I did point my bosses hypocrisy, and with the threat of termination, I never said another word.
Of course, (and I really believe it) this has allot to do with being the Lord’s and suffering rejection from the world and it’s establishments, even as the Jews were seen as lesser by the Egyptians, and only to be used as slaves.
On a personal level, I have never had a problem in working with another, until resentment has been interjected by an outside political influence. This is the problem people are experiencing today.
At a basil level the absolute authority is the Lord God, yet nowadays everything is targeted at undermining this idea because of the rebellious nature within most people. Evolution for instance, is a direct assault of even the concept of there being a God, with “humankind” improving and developing into a higher life form. Whereas, the Bible clearly teaches that none is without sin, and except for Grace of God in Christ, all will degenerate to the lowest form of human depravity!
And this is exactly what is taking place today, filth is equivocated with righteousness’ as we spiral further and further away from the truth! It is the “Feet of Iron and Clay” found in the book of Daniel, the mixing together of all things (and Peoples) in rebellion towards God. Yet most people nowadays cannot see that their desires are worse than the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, as they use humanistic sciences to justify sinfulness, and scoff at righteousness – even wishing to overthrow it, and by extension the Lord God of Israel! As a result of most of humanity being children of the Devil, they will rejoice when he shows up claiming to be God, while performing many false miracles, while posing as God. Even Bible believing churches, who do not actually know Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth, will fall victims of Satan crying peace and safety thinking their savior has arrived. Yet soon afterwards, the Lord will destroy all this wickedness, and the world cannot hide (and wishing the rocks will fall on them) prior to His thousand-year reign upon the earth.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 (KJV) 5) But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2) For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3) For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Revelation 6:16 (KJV) 16) And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
After all this being said, the real question should be, are you with the Lord, or are you not, as this will determine your destination through eternity!

Call me nuts if you like, but if you haven’t actually started “In” Christ, you are better off in NOT studying the things of God (without Him) than to further heap condemnation on your soul by further learning about the spiritual workings of God, that do not apply to you. Now I’m not talking about being a conscientious person and living to a certain level of decency, not at all, but I am speaking about trying to be something you’re not, namely a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, if he hasn’t called you to do a work of salvation within!
That’s right, it is better to remain ignorant of the things of God, than it is to have a head full of Bible knowledge which will only compounds your damnation, because of the fact you had knowledge of it.
This is why Jesus so condemned the Scribes (Academics) and Pharisees of his day, as they actually created even more evil people by trying to teach them by the letter of the law, things they were unable to keep or even understand.
Now why folks may draw a dichotomy between the Old Testament saints and the New, the spiritual conditioning of “self-righteousness” is the same.
You see, as I have said many a times before: you cannot teach someone into Jesus! Either God the Father does a work in them, or he does not! Jesus said all that the Father gives to him WILL come, so by doing evangelism in the flesh, (independent of the Lord’s leading) you might be actually creating more of a problem for those people, than if you simply let them be.
I believe Satan, also called the butcher, knows this principle very well, and went out in creating a False Church, (Antichrists’) with a twofold function of destroying the actual ecclesia’s faith, and bringing in the religious unregenerate to fill ranks in confusing the actual brethren, all while creating the false gospel of theology, which only appeals to the natural mind, yet has no power over sin!
Thus creating twice the sons of Hell than themselves! And Jesus is calling them sons of hell, because it seems to me that, this is where such people will end up – rather than hades, and remaining in “the sleep of death” (where the dead know nothing) until the judgment day: and the separation between the sheep (found in the Lamb’s Book of Life) and the goats, who are headed towards the pit: I surmise.
Having said all this, the important thing is that those who have actually started in Christ, remain in him, until the day we are called to be with him, outside of our earthly tents. The rest is but academics, and many have fallen away because of such false and discouraging teachings.

I wanted to post an updated version about the “Kings of Persia” as prophesied in Daniel Chapter 10, mainly because of the pathetically weak Biblical writings which I have read on this subject since I posted it years ago. Perhaps this is because most churches wish to remain comfortable within the world and not offend anyone? Or perhaps they are actually spiritually blind, and can’t see past their academia? I’m not sure, but what I do know is what I can plainly see, combined with having 30 years of Bible instruction, and all types of eschatology: but then there is the Truth which is only understood by the Spirit of truth, who is Christ himself!
The overthrow of the west, is an attempted overthrow of anything Christian within its traditional framework. It really starts to snowball after the events in – 2 Thessalonians 2, as “he that restraineth” (Holy Spirit) is taken out of the way. This does not include the Lord’s people, yet it does include the general grace to the world, which helped to keep sin down (restrained it) to a certain degree.
After the restraints come off, sin will run rampant upon the earth, worse than in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. What do we have today, unbridled sin which looks to overturn all of the past restraints predominantly instated by western cultures, and people.
Kings of Persia terrorism, Iron & Clay (multiculturalism) new world order, destruction
To make matters worse, sin insists on being non-restrained and will war against anyone or any culture which attempts to stand in its way. So then, “Multiculturalism” symbolized as the feet of iron and clay (Adam meaning red, clay) . In Daniel, shows a cobbled together world unified of different people, cultures and religions ruling the world, this is also known as Babylon, which represents a culture of sin and corruption apart from the Lord God’s order.
The most interesting phenomenon to me occurred after the 9-11 attacks on New York’s twin towers and the Pentagon. Islamic Terrorism thrusts the United Sates and all western powers into global conflict, (the Global War on Terror, which I played a small part in) and it has not slowed or stopped since, despite thousands of live lost, wars and rumors of wars, despite many attempts by the powers that be wishing to accommodate such fanatical people’s.
These Muslim (Persian) people have been allowed to migrate (for a large part) unchecked by western authorities, who were once charged with protecting their populations. As a result a slaughter is occurring to any “old school” western ideals and cultures (Christian informed values) , for a perverse progressive objective in the blending of the world together as one. This blending together, is the feet of Iron and Clay prophesied in the book of Daniel. In Daniel chapter 10 – verse 13-14 it is explained to Daniel in significant spiritual detail, what shall befall thy people in the latter days! I must interject at this point that this is not just physical Israel, but indeed is spiritual Israel, the ones grafted into the vine because of Christ.
The spiritual significance is that the Kings of Persia, are demonically driven forces who are allowed to battle the Lord God, and his Angels; most notably the Chief Angle Michael, who has been given authority next to the Lord God. These Demonic beings (the kings of Persia) – the Muslim world, are allowed to dominate, desolate and destroy all traces of the Christian informed culture, and their people.
This is blatantly obvious to anyone who has eyes to see, it is much more pressing than just a theological study of eschatology and the apocalyptic passages! It really amazes me just how passive and weak many of these scriptures are presented by Bible academics, who have no power nor light to see or digest an all-encompassing and consuming problem of this present age. No rather it is presented in the “safe space” of being merely academic, and therefore open to conjecture and interpretation by those who are puffed up within their own understanding of the scriptures!
I believe these Persians are exactly what they are described as being in the latter days, and will nearly destroy white western cultures, except for the fact that the man of sin (the Devil) will come first in playing God, who will be worshipped by the world as such. 1 Thessalonians 5-3 “and the world will cry peace and safety”. The wicked man of sin will perform many signs and wonders, and basically demand to be worshipped as God.
Then, Christ will return in the clouds and destroy him with the breath of his mouth and the brightness of His coming. Hence Babylon, with all its outwardly expressed sin in the world will be destroyed, and the thousand year reign of Christ and his Bride will begin. At this point, the judgment day will hold off till after the thousand year reign of Christ, after the very last rebellion of Satan and his people, who are judged not to be in the book of life, and cast into the lake of fire for eternity.

This is why church is so strong and determined to be right, even killing all those who are the Lord’s and speak against it. This is the strength of ‘don’t judge’!
Do you know how the FBI trains people to spot counterfeits’?
They do it by training people in what genuine money looks like.
It is the same with an actual disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit (who is, Jesus Christ, made manifest to the flesh) will show you the truth that you might be saved from sin, and the lies of the Devil, the father of lies, and great spiritual counterfeiter!
Lucifer’s Pride & Fall
It is indeed important that you understand the scriptures in contexts, yet it is essential that you know the Lord Jesus Christ even more than even owning a Bible! Johnathan Edwards once wrote that “it is the experience that counts” in a book, and he is indeed correct. Always remember that Satan was around when the scriptures were given to the Lord’s people, and he knows them inside and out! He also has watched man since his creation and has watched the Lord move in healings, anointing’s, prophecy, even resurrections. You name it, he’s seen it, and I can assure you that he has attempted to counterfeit the workings of God throughout the Melina.
Nowadays most anywhere you go, you will meet someone who calls themselves a minister. Yet it is more important to understand “of what spirit a person is of”… 1 John Chapter 4. In order to tell this, one must be “Born Again” of the Spirit of Truth. I suspect that the only other people who would truly clock the difference of a counterfeit spirit are the elect of God, and the rest will be deceived in one form or another.
The Bible clearly teaches in Matthew 24:24 – For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, (if it) were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
So how can one tell – only by spiritual discernment, and with the help of the “owner’s manual” the Bible. A vast majority of people call the Bible “the word of God” yet the word of God was present before the creation of the earth, so it’s not talking about texts on a page, butt rather the Holy Spirit of God. Now, I do not wish to get diverted off topic concerning the triune God, commonly referred to in academia as “The Trinity” from our friends in Rome. What I am attempting to put over here is, that it is not a doctrine which connects us with our Heavenly Father, but rather it is the atonement for sin, which Jesus Christ made on the cross (for His people) so that we might be spiritually reconnected and sanctified from our hopeless natural condition.
I can tell you that in my life, it was none other than the Lord himself which directed me to understand using men of God who actually knew Christ, and could help me to understand the spiritual battleground of this world. I have never been an academic and yet I have “nearly” grown into a man of God. It has taken over 30 years for the Lord to even allow me to express to others some of what I have learned. My advice to younger brethren is to never go unless God himself has sent you! Most people never wait upon the Lord, but strike out in the flesh, independent of His leading. This is how we get what the Apostle John coined as “antichrist”, and Paul called enemies of the cross.
Most Church people today would be shocked to see someone who is accredited in ministry write such a thing. And although it is good to be accredited, there are more accredited ministers around today who are not the Lords’ and are not called of God, than those who are. Remember. A disciple learns by simply following the Lord Jesus Christ, who has sent us the teacher so that we might walk in all truth.
There is a lot of talks today about the functioning of the Holy Spirit, and most are taught by Apostates and Charlatans. So please allow me to give you some tips on spotting demonic counterfeits of the Holy Spirit of God. I cannot give away everything I have learned over the years, nor am I an expert in occult science, but I do know enough basics to spot the father of lies at work! The scripture teaches that Satan is the Lord of the air. Ephesians 2:2 – Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Satan uses the atmosphere very effectively in demonic warfare. People have been crushed to death when falling out of a pentagram by atmospheric pressure, when practicing witchcraft, as an extreme example.Another example of Demonic power is always present in Levitation of any sort! Other less noticeable conditions using the elements of the atmosphere are electrical or radio frequencies, sights, sounds, (claps are common) and even smells, sometimes combined with other out of the normal events, like objects being moved from place to place. I could go into more depth about demons, but not on the net, as actual brethren are the people I am targeting with this article.
How did I learn about such things many may wonder? By the providence of the Lord sending me to learn under one of the two top Exorcists’ in Baltimore City, MD: who could answer many of the tormenting questions I had when growing up. I also learned on the streets, and in my apartment filled with transient demons night after night in a hot basement apartment, until I learned how to fight for my space and peace in short.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 – For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is (taken) out of the way.
I have used the ESV here as it shows the word lawlessness, anyone can plainly see today that the “restrainer” of sin (Holy Spirit) “in general grace to the world” and it’s people, is quickly disappearing, so that Satan may appear as God doing many signs and wonders as is prophesied.
The Holy Spirit does NOT leave his people, yet he is limited in His workings as God ordains. So, many counterfeits are seen today by Chariton’s, and people I dare say are demonically troubled performing many spectacular and false miracles’ albeit in the name of Jesus Christ! Again, just so you understand, they are performed in the name of Jesus Christ. I firmly believe this is a trick of Satan given in the age of strong delusions, and yes, a powerful demon can indeed use the name of the Lord.
People like Benny Hind, and Kenneth Copeland, show signs of demonic influence, and they may name drop real men of God from the past, to confuse and twist the truth towards their followings. The reason I mention this is because I’ve seen this “false Holy Spirit” doctrine before on the net, and a friend of mine went to a “Bible study tonight” which reeked of electrical charges being compared to an anointing of the Holy Spirit, by those claiming to be Ministers and probably earnestly seeking the gifts of the Spirit: which I can assure you is not of God, but of the Lord of the air, Satan and his cohorts.
Against my better judgment, the Holy Spirit’s anointing is just that “an anointing” which feels like cool non-invasive water or liquid being poured over you. Always remember, the Lord God is never a “show off” he is gentle and meek in heart towards his people, and normally quietness or stillness is how He is found by His Sheep in prayer. In contrast, anything cold, loud, powerful (I would say electrical) and like a powerful light show, is Satan’s signature specialty – who was once an angle of light you will remember. The Bible and Religion today, are now being used as just another means to deceive many, and fewer than ever before is the presence of true disciples upon the earth. Be not deceived, Satan will appear soon, and will be worshiped as God returned. He will try to bond together Babylon, performing many signs and wonders and the world will worship him as God! Yet this is not the Lord God at all, and he will have his head crushed underfoot, and the people will flee to the mountains hoping it will fall on them, to paraphrase. I could keep writing all night but instead, I will leave you with this scripture…

The term SEAMAN (as written in the English), goes back to prehistoric times, probably originating with the Cretans around 1500 or 1400 years Before Christ. Yet nowadays it seems to be a favorite pastime of progressives to modify and change the language to suit the way they wish others to think, or to embrace their philosophy in a postmodern world.
It is the reversal of God’s Order, and persecution of the brethren creeping in.
The Dark Ages started like this; a people controlled by elitists, who only wished to “Lord Over” the masses, even controlling the people’s faith, thoughts and actions. The age of enlightenment I think really started with the printing of the Bible, so that the Roman Priests would no longer have control in “hording the scriptures” for themselves, and their for controlling the masses.
It was the Reformation which then broke the back of the Roman Catholic Faith, and freed the minds of the people.
Rome knew that if you could limit truth to others, you could maintain control over the masses. It is ironic that liberalism once embraced knowledge for all, yet today progressivism wishes to once again enslave people’s to their “new world order”.
It is a love for the world, possessions, creature comforts, and power which drive the politician to be seated over others. This is not freedom but tyranny, and the young U.S. Government wrote a constitution and bill of rights with the hope of containing such evil, while researching many a philosophy, ancient governments and the Bible.
Once again, even our language is under assault; but for over a millennium, the freedom which the scriptures provided to the individual were invaluable. The reason is that it is God who provides freedom to men. That’s right – I said men; the ones who Satan wishes to oppress, in opposition to God’s Order!
Most do not understand that “children of the devil” are just that, and darkness is their fruit, as they have no light to see. This is a spiritual condition; and is why Luke 18: 7-8 reads {7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?}
We are living in the days of Multiculturalism; the mixing together of the feet of “Iron and Clay”, as prophesized in the book of Daniel; which God promises to destroy. Babylon, the new world order – independent of God. The age of strong delusion, and gross darkness.
It is the Believer who has always been singled out and persecuted by the world both now, and in ancient times of wickedness! Is it any wonder that Joe Biden said that Bible believing Christians violate LGBT by simply existing? The world’s enemies have always been the salt and light to an evil world. And changing the language is the oldest trick in the book by Satan!
The Brethren are commanded in Matthew 24: 42 {42 `Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what hour your Lord doth come ;} (prior to Christ’s return). So to be complacent to such a commandment is extremely dangerous to one’s life both spiritually and physically speaking lest you be deceived. “The light which was in the world” grows dim, the darkness has come, the camp of the Saints has been overrun: and the ones who wish to maintain their lives, must lose it to the worlds’ love for darkness, so the “Man of Sin” who will come and claim to be God, performing many signs and miracles deceiving even the elect (if possible).
I am talking about general grace which shined in the world, even for those who had never seen him nor known him… The Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus told that the light in the world doth shine; and that we must work while we have that light for the gospel’s sake – who is Christ crucified: to paraphrase.
Yet I believe the time how now come, of darkness, and gross darkness in the world’s people. This darkness will remain until the Lord Jesus Christ comes again to judge the living and the dead. People will want the mountains to fall onto them and be covered from this light – who is Christ returned, the scripture teaches, but there will be no escape on that great and awful day.
It seems to me that this is where we are in human history; any Godly behavior is looked upon as fanatical or even hateful, yet in actuality it is a love for the truth, which drives the disciple and not scorn. Evil becomes good and good becomes evil. Everything is 180% out of sync with Gods order, and liberty: as Satan’s people now rule over the earth, with no restraints from the Holy Spirit. This will not be put right again, till Christ returns with his Bride, to rule and reign with a rod of Iron.
Some will say – don’t be ridiculous, we don’t even believe in God (until Satan appears as God) or maybe, that we are evolving socially or physiologically. Yet what Peoples have believed, makes little difference to what actually exists; (all be it most people are blind and dumb spiritually speaking) – so what they refuse, or can’t see, WILL – still hurt them one day: and they’ll be no escape from eternal fire.
What is OFFENSIVE has always depended upon whose perspective, the so-called offense is viewed from. As an example, Murder has traditionally been seen as an offence in most societies of the past around the world, in making a blanket statement. Yet today, it is offensive to say that abortion is murder to many: or that beheadings is wrong, depending upon the relativism of the offence as viewed by those who insult the wicked warlord. Cannibalism is an extremely offensive and deprived practice, yet in the past, in some places considered normal. The world today seems to be getting more depraved; because of the rise of rebellion against God and sin. Yet to a humanist, this progression seems grand and “absolutely” right.
Homosexuality was once considered offensive, and an indecent and depraved practice, a gross sin of sexual promiscuity. Yet today, for anyone to openly say it is offensive is considered wrong, and damned near illegal! A woman’s place is in the home, is now offensive to say – and don’t try to introduce levity by saying something like “boobs and a badge” or a “dick’less Tracy”, when referring to women in law enforcement. This would definitely be defined as sexist / offensive and would probably cost you your career or even worse! Same thing within our Armed Forces nowadays; yet our enemy doesn’t care, he will exploit any weakness which he can, and doesn’t care about one’s feelings in these matters, hell he might even cut off your head! I can give many examples in what is considered offensive to some, is perfectly just and right, to another. Years ago, the mixing of people’s was considered wrong – in that God separated the Peoples of the world: Yet today, this is perfectly acceptable, and is even being promoted slowly by progressives, with the goal of procreation for a single race of people; or the so called theory goes, (man wanting to play God). Power has become “god” not conscience, and “the children of the devil” (unregenerate) will justify any behavior, for any reason, which suites their cause.
The reason for this is not that the ultimate authority (the Lord God) has moved: but rather that mankind is allowed to become more depraved than ever before; as “all the restraints have come off”! Jesus taught that in these days, many would be cast into prison for his namesake. These are just a few examples as to why the gross darkness has come – which must come – prior to Satan’s short reign on earth, the destruction of Babylon by God and his People, and the Great White Throne Judgment.
Keep your lamps full of oil, it will be a dark season, prior to the Bride Grooms’ return.
Nation against Nation (Ethos) and Kingdom against Kingdom. The End.

Back when I worked in equal opportunity while in the Army, we were all taught this basic premise.
Assimilation is most important for cohesion, be it in the military, or in society. As EO’s it was our job to create an environment which promoted unity – not division within the ranks. To have a common unity is essential for people to live and function well in harmony.
In the American culture, it was a common language, and laws written which fostered respected and compassion towards others, and belief systems which has bridged most ethnic, and religious’ groups within our history. The Predominant Christian ethos, allowed others the liberty to function and live without reprisal from government or sociopaths wishing to force a particular viewpoint, or lifestyle even on the smallest minority group which emerged over time.
Ethical behavior and laws were based largely on how the majority of the population would be affected; known as the greater good. This newly found freedom allowed people and businesses to flourish, and better themselves, unlike any other Country on earth! This great experiment produced the American exceptionalism, known and spoken about around the world.
We lived as Americans, having a great hope for our future, even in the things which divided us, and we overcame adversity together; all because we shared a common dream based on respect for others and our common nationalism.
Only a psychopath would wish to unhinge and destroy such a society, who was bent on control, power and destruction of others! The Founding Fathers of the American Constitution understood the dangers associated with tyranny, and a group of people having absolute control over others. So they created checks and balances in Government, which helped to ensure a power grab from any one particular branch of Government, which ultimately might take control of the Entire Government and its Peoples.
When that balance is gone, it is just a matter of time till the people become enslaved by this ruling class.
I have never known a U.S. President who has subverted and divided the American People like, Barack Hussein Obama. Yet he is not alone, or his overreach for power would have been put in check by now! It is my personal belief that a global (Satanic) movement, wishes to destroy each individual Nation State, and blend together all people’s (individuals) who might attempt to resist the “feet of Iron and Clay” (multiculturalism) spoken about in the end of the age, within the book of Daniel.
The Lord God, will crush and destroy this new attempt at building Babble, probably only after Satan appears in impersonating God; as foretold in the scriptures. Ethos against Ethos (in the Hebrew) and Kingdom against Kingdom will rise towards destruction.
You see; the Lord God separated people’s of different tongs to their regions of the world to live and procreate, for some assembling of peace and stability. Yet today, humanity is in rebellion against God’s principles and ordinances. Ultimately cayos, bloodshed, and destruction will be the result, for not honoring the Lord God, who is the ultimate authority of the Universe.
Yet God is still on his throne, even though the camp of the Saints has been overrun, and few actual disciples still are alive today – in comparison with the past. Darkness has come when no man can work, and the restraints (Restrainer) has slowly been removed, giving a general grace to the world, and even Satan’s people. I never understood before why the Lord would burn the world in utter destruction, but now I see why: as people who are not the Lords are completely wicked, and children of the devil without repentance from sin. It is SIN which is the issue; not culture, upbringing, nor even beliefs, can change a corrupted, and completely infected hard drive (to use computer jargon) which must be replaced by a non-corrupted driver – who is Jesus Christ – Crucified.
