Restoring a Few Old Posts

I decided to restore a post regarding the beast, second beast and image of the beast.  There is much wrong-headed belief in the world regarding the meaning of "beast" in the scripture but one requires only a modicum of historical knowledge, some research skills and understanding of the book of the prophet, Daniel, to see that much of what is passed off as "the beast" and "the image of the beast" is nonsense.  You can find the post via this link:

Regarding the mark of the beast, in a 2014 post I provided a link to the technical alliance of companies via which this mark will come into being, an alliance called "The FIDO Alliance".  It's stated aim was to establish the technical specification for much greater online financial transaction security and to then implement it.  It is enough to simply place that link here so that you can look into it yourself.  Their (publicly stated) goal was, and still is, to do away with traditional passwords and use more secure means of enabling online financial transactions but a key issue of what I pointed out was the implementation of biometrics as one central component in the new system.  It is hardly news now but is still worth bearing in mind.  Note that these companies are strongly associated with the international banksters.  What I did not realise back then was that a pandemic would be used to bring about the conditions to further accelerate implementation and enforce this highly controlled and monitored system or, at the very least, to set up the conditions by which such a total control system could be passed into law by fearful and compliant, godless governments.

The destruction of the USA as a nation was already clearly in sight.  There will be no unity, only division and those who continue to pursue the idea of a United States of America will only be disappointed.  The nation has been judged but we saw this coming years ago, many before me and many after me.  I was not alone in this prophecy.  However, I want you to be certain that there are many individuals in the USA who are faithful and of whom our eternal Father in heaven is always mindful to watch over them.  The destruction of a nation does not equate to the complete destruction of its people but is about destroying an irrevocably corrupted culture.
I should point out, however, that the existence of the USA as a nation may be brought back after the Lord returns, but it will not be what it currently is or ever was and will not be raised again in this time of the end.

Regarding the plandemic and what will soon follow (wars, pestilence, fear and panic):

Do not be frightened by these things for those in, and who remain in, Christ are established on the immovable rock forever.  All storms will pass... ALL of them!

Regarding the deceit of the rapture, an easy escape from tribulation hoped for by millions the world over and a stumbling block for any who are careless with the word and have not loved the Lord more than the world (there is more that could be written on this, plenty more, but this is more than sufficient):
Note that there is a Greek, word (παρουσία -- pronounced "parousia") in the scripture which many claim means "a catching away" but that is incorrect.  The word simply refers to the appearance of Christ, the arrival of the Great King.  The mention of the "catching away" of the saints is simply a reference to what occurs immediately upon completion of the removal of the sinners from the land.  Once the "trash" is taken out, the angels "harvest" the sons of God, gathering them together for the great wedding feast of the Lamb.  Where exactly?  I will leave that to you to uncover, but the scripture does not hide it; we simply need to understand.

παρουσία (parousia) appears in the following verses:
As "coming", 22 times -- Mat 24:3, Mat 24:27, Mat 24:37, Mat 24:39, 1Co 15:23, 1Co 16:17, 2Co 7:6-7 (2), Phi 1:26, 1Th 2:19, 1Th 3:13, 1Th 4:15, 1Th 5:23, 2Th 2:1, 2Th 2:8-9 (2), Jam 5:7-8 (2), 2Pe 1:16, 2Pe 3:4, 2Pe 3:12, 1Jo 2:28.
As "presence", 2  times -- 2Co 10:10, Phi 2:12.

On the issue of antichrist, is it a spirit or a person?  It is a spirit, if you adhere to scripture, but a spirit that inhabits the wicked, all the sons of perdition:

There are many scriptures, mostly prophetic, which are misinterpreted in our day and age.  This is not surprising because the true church is yet to return into the world as an organised entity.  As I have said already, like physical Israel, so, too, spiritual Israel has had its own diaspora and that must come to an end, by the prophesying of the final Elijah to come.  As another example of the mistreatment of scripture, you may like to read this old post about that thing referred to as being like a mountain all on fire which was cast into the sea:

The belief in the return of the nephilim is something to be carefully scrutinised for it will mislead many into seeking signs that will not come, the appearance of beings of great stature or other such things of the ancient past.  There may be something about the whole saga regarding the illegitimate progeny of mankind with fallen angels in these end times but there is no need for an actual physical reappearance of such beings in full for the son of perdition to arise.  Daniel was not talking about the nephilim when he prophesied the "mingling with the seed of men":

Daniel spoke extensively on the conditions in the time of the end.  One of those was referring to travel, about many people traveling "to and fro".  Many have misunderstood this, although it is perhaps of little consequence, but I pointed it out because we must be ever vigilant with regards to how we understand scripture.  Unfortunately, critical thinking is something which has not been taught in the classrooms of western nations for decades.  I was one of the "lucky" ones.

These are some of the posts I published regarding the two witnesses.  There may be a few items in these old posts that I would modify now because my understanding has grown since then but I will leave them as they were and perhaps discuss the issues further in later posts.

A reminder that the true sons of God will be persecuted:

On the issue of being careful when we read scripture... I recall, in secondary school, a teacher I had for mathematics warned us to be careful when we read the exam questions, to read what is actually written rather than what we think is written.  We are prone to see what we believe rather than what is actually before us.  This is known as "confirmation bias", but it appears in different forms and has a few other names.  I have written a little on the necessary care in reading scriptures as already noted above, and here is another sample:

Connected to the issue of being careful in reading scripture is to be careful in assessing the claims of prophecy, especially on-line where so many "wannabe prophets" publish endlessly their false and nonsensical claims.  It is not difficult to learn to discern, so in addition to what I suggest (and it is only that... suggestion), seek the Lord on all such matters (including on whether this person writing this blog is true or false!!!):

Something on just a little of my personal experience regarding the world hidden from our eyes.  There have been numerous experiences but there is little point in their publication.  I only do this so that any who truly believe, that is, trust the Lord may gain confidence that He is always with them.  On the issue of what exactly faith is, faith is not merely belief, for even demons believe in the Son of Man.  Faith is really an old fashioned word for the noun form of trust... but the prerequisite for trust is, of course, belief.  That is, faith (noun) is the characteristic from which trust (verb, an action) springs.  Be careful to understand that when you read the bible translated into English or another non-Greek and non-Hebraic language, for such is often based on interpretations decades or centuries old so it is important to gain better understanding of the use of language back then.  Our modern forms of the languages we speak often mislead us because they are so corrupted.

My own field of electronic design engineering required extensive scientific studies at the undergraduate level but I did not cease my studies upon graduation.  I have been a life-long student of truth, in all its forms where ever I can find and uncover it.  The study of physics was, and in some sense still is, one of my greatest pleasures.  I have come to realise that the Lord chose this engineering profession for me because of its logical rigour and He wanted to instill in me the desire to uncover all truth and expose all lies.  That is part of my mission, to restore the truth to the understanding of those whom the Lord will send my way.

Bon appétit!
