Power and Lawlessness

Big brother is more than a complex or a collective of factors on different levels precipitating an environment for government surveillance, regulation and control.  It is much more totalitarian than that.  With the elite ruling class entertaining the notion of a new world order, a one world government and one world currency, there is grave potential for abuse of a system that places control of the entire world in the hands of a few privileged individuals, families or corporations.  In fact, it is easily plausible that one person can commandeer this power structure and seize control of every detail of running the planet.  The Bible foretells of this usurping of our rights and freedoms as one man is destined to rule the world and demand to be worshipped as a god.  

Today we can feel a subtle chill in the air as we witness the erosion of our rights and freedoms as governments that claim to act on behalf of citizens, institute greater and greater controls over our lives.  In the name of safety, we are increasingly restricted through taxation, health protocols, increased surveillance, the impending introduction of cashless currencies, pseudo-science paid for by those who will profit from the resulting green economies, coming mandatory vaccinations and digital identity micro-chip implants.  The darkness of the human heart and its capacity for greed, lust for power and deception to achieve it are evident in the secretive ruling class in our civilization.  Past history reminds us of the corruption of the Roman Emperors, the Mafia organized crime chronicles of the last century, and the temptation of Jesus Christ himself.  Today we have the UN, the WEF and the Bilderberg Group.

In the fourth chapter of Mathew, we are told that Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.  In verse 8, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.  “All this I will give you if you will bow down and worship me.”  It gives one pause, in light of the covert powers that pull the strings of world rulers, just who else has the devil tempted in such a way.  Jesus did not capitulate.  Others have not been so resilient.

The apostle Paul wrote, “Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.  For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” 1 Timothy 6:9-10.  The material focus of civilization today has made society vulnerable to manipulation through advertising, entertainment and coveting the wealth and lifestyles of celebrities. The elite super-rich however, take the immorality of money worship to an entirely different level.  Rather than the outward appearance of wealth they prefer the secluded cloak of mystery and blend into the crowd with their business suits and dark glasses.  The covert nature of their empires is unknown to most and the multiplicity of their holdings would stagger the average person’s imagination.

The alleged depravity of this plutocracy is of such a loathsome, repulsive, and detestable nature it cannot be fathomed by anyone with intrinsic goodness.  The magnitude of its cupidity is so colossal that most could not even begin to describe it let alone quantify it.  It is rooted in the practices of the Illuminati and Free Masons, and is historically anti-Christ.   From trafficking drugs, guns, nuclear weapons, people and even body parts, the sheer depth of its turpitude is of Satanic proportions.  It is no small wonder that this power structure is envisioned as a beast in end times prophecy. 

In the seventh chapter of the book of Daniel, the prophet had a dream in which he was shown the great kingdoms of the world, depicted as beasts.  An angel interpreted his vision and disclosed that the beasts represented Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome.  The fourth beast was different from the others and the most terrifying one.  It had ten horns on its head and a little horn that came up later and before which three other horns fell.  The angel gave this interpretation, “The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth.  It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.  The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom.  After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings.  He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change set times and the laws.  The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and a half time.” Daniel 7:23-25.

Since this fourth and final kingdom is derived from the Roman Empire, yet is different insofar as it is portrayed as a coalition of nationalities, many have equated it with the European Union.  While this is plausible, I see its difference and uniqueness as being a covert power structure that transcends borders and is sinister in its nature to the degree that it can spawn the antichrist, which is the little horn that comes later.  He will be different from the earlier kings insofar as he will be Satan’s protégé and reign for three and one half years during the second half of the great tribulation.

Since the man of lawlessness remains surreptitious until he is “revealed,” (2 Thessalonians 2:3) it is logically consistent that he emerges from a covert power structure.  The cabal that secretly controls world governments through its iniquitous “behind the scenes” methodologies, is the ideal breeding ground to develop and groom the devil incarnate.  It is the consummate entity for him to rise through the ranks to a position from which he can assume ultimate global authority and control.  I believe he will be unknown from a political perspective and seemingly come out of nowhere to assume the reigns of the final one world government.  He will be no stranger to power however, as he will emerge from obscurity well versed in backroom deals, corrupt negotiating tactics, and coercion skills learned while ascending the hierarchy of the deep state.

Satan lives vicariously through this hidden cabal as the spirit of antichrist spoken of by the apostle Paul.  Manifested as pride in the human intellect, expressed through scientific efforts to explain away the need for God, like evolutionary misinformation, religion in the form of diminishing God’s word through the exaltation of traditions, ceremony and rituals, materialism, hedonism and worldly values.

Mankind will cling to these worldly values and resist the truth of God’s word because the spirit of antichrist resists being exposed and openly displayed for all to see.  Man would rather not confront the truth because it reveals his sinful nature.  Jesus said, “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.  Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.  But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.” John 3:19-21.

The antichrist of Revelation is more than an essence or spirit.  While the spirit of antichrist was already at work in the apostle Paul’s day, the persona or personal manifestation of antichrist in the man of lawlessness is a distinctly identifiable fulfillment of the abomination that causes desolation spoken of by Daniel and Jesus Christ.  The thirteenth chapter of Revelation describes how the antichrist is truly a beast in character.  The text tells us that Satan gives him his power and that he is permitted to have authority over the world for forty-two months.  He will slander God, heaven and the angels, persecute all believers and rule over every nation.  He will set up a statue of himself and anyone who refuses to worship the statue will be killed and he will force everyone to receive his mark, without which they are not permitted to buy or sell.  The mark of the beast is the number of his name (666).  Revelation 13:18 warns, “This calls for wisdom.  Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.”  The man of lawlessness.

So much more will be disclosed in my soon to be released book Revelation of Truth.
