Transhumanism: Marching Toward The Mark

If our world is not on a direct path to the fulfillment of Revelation 13, the only alternative is to assume that something with a most uncanny resemblance to the mark of the beast is coming our way.

In other words, if what the globalists’ propose for our world is not the prelude to the mark of the beast, I do not know what it would look like. The plans they have for our future fit like a glove with what John wrote in Revelation 13:15-18:

“And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.”

Please understand that this passage does not reach its complete fulfillment halfway until through the seven-year Tribulation, well after the Rapture of the church. What we see today is NOT the mark of the beast, but it’s most certainly both a prelude to and a conditioning for it.

John 8:44 is another key passage that’s essential for understanding the agenda of the elite powerbrokers. Though not a prophecy, it speaks directly to what we see in our world today because the devil and his demons control the globalists who wield great power in the governments of the world as well as in the business world.

“You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

The Luciferian elite of our day have two basic goals: First, they plan to reduce the world’s population and second, they intend to deceive and control those who remain through the means of transhumanism. Both objectives are essential to their final goal of forming a one-world government over which they hope to rule and enslave humanity.

WHAT IS TRANSHUMANISM?

Transhumanism is the combining of machines and human beings with the intent to monitor our behavior so they can later control our behavior and even our thoughts.

Wikipedia describes it this way:

“Transhumanism is a philosophical movement, the proponents of which advocate and predict the enhancement of the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies able to greatly enhance longevity, mood and cognitive abilities . . . Some transhumanists believe that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into beings with abilities so greatly expanded from the current condition as to merit the label of posthuman beings.”

Leading the way to bring about this change is a group called the World Economic Forum (WEF) with Klaus Schwab as its founder and CEO. Here is a quote from the group’s website regarding the changes they wish to impose on the world:

“The Fourth Industrial Revolution [the WEF term for transhumanism] represents a fundamental change in the way we live, work and relate to one another. It is a new chapter in human development, enabled by extraordinary technology advances commensurate with those of the first, second and third industrial revolutions. These advances are merging the physical, digital and biological worlds in ways that create both huge promise and potential peril. The speed, breadth and depth of this revolution is forcing us to rethink how countries develop, how organizations create value and even what it means to be human.” (my emphasis)

The globalists of our day do not hide their objectives; they are in plain sight for all to see if one is willing to investigate. Is it not shocking that they intend for us to “rethink . . . what it means to be human?” The theme of merging “the physical, digital and biological worlds” runs through many of the articles on the WEF website. They do not keep their evil intentions a secret, but openly broadcast them to all who are paying attention.

TRANSHUMANISM BEGINS WITH PHARMACEUTICALS

On November 20, 2017, an article appeared on Forbes website entitled, Transhumanism and The Future of Humanity: 7 Ways the World Will Change By 2030. The following quote from it appears under the heading of “Our bodies will be augmented.”

“The coming years will usher in a number of body augmentation capabilities that will enable humans to be smarter, stronger, and more capable than we are today. Wearables will be one form of body augmentation, but they will far surpass the fitness trackers of today. . . . We will also see increased use of implants ranging from brain microchips and neural lace to mind-controlled prosthesis and subdermal RFID chips that allow users to unlock doors or computer passwords with the wave of a hand. However, the most powerful body augmentation will come from biological augmentation as a result of increased insight into our genomes, advances in IVF technology that may allow us to select the most intelligent embryos, and powerful CRISPR gene-editing technology which may one day give us the ability to eliminate all heritable diseases.

These body augmentation capabilities will give rise to humans that are more resilient, optimized and continually monitored.” (Emphasis mine)

Please note that the “CRISPR gene-editing technology” that the writer of the Forbes article says will someday augment our bodies is exactly how the experts today describe the mRNA injections, AKA “COVID-19 vaccines.” What the Forbes article predicted in 2017 would eventually lead to the altering of humans became a reality in 2020-21 with the emergence of “CRISPR” gene therapy injections from Pfizer, Moderna, and other pharmaceutical companies.

Notice how the writer of the article stresses the positive possibilities of the “CRISPR” gene therapy injections as eliminating “all heritable diseases” before telling us that they will also lead to the continual monitoring of people. The transhumanists promise great advancements that will benefit humanity, but their final objective is control such as in buying and selling.

As further evidence of the long-range planning behind what we see today, ponder this quote from Aldous Huxley, a philosopher and author, at the California Medical School in 1961:

“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.”

Though spoken over sixty years ago, these words represent the blueprint from which the globalists operate today. What Huxley talked about in 1961 has now become reality. “Pharmaceutical methods” have become the weapon of choice for those seeking to change humanity by combining humans with machines. What we see is just the beginning, drugs will continue to play an essential role leading to the mark of the beast.

TRANSHUMANISM ON OUR DOORSTEP

As evidence that transhumanism already resides on the doorstep of our world, please consider these three related initiatives that are opening the door for what we see depicted in Revelation 13:6-18.

1. PATENT WO2020060606: THE TECHNOLOGY OF CONTROLLING THE BUYING AND SELLING

Microsoft, along with Bill Gates, obtained this international patent in 2020: Patent WO2020060606 – Cryptocurrency System Using Body Activity Data. Yes, this patent is real as is its number.

Here is the legal description of the patent:

“Human body activity associated with a task provided to a user may be used in a mining process of a cryptocurrency system. A server may provide a task to a device of a user which is communicatively coupled to the server. A sensor communicatively coupled to or comprised in the device of the user may sense body activity of the user. Body activity data may be generated based on the sensed body activity of the user. The cryptocurrency system communicatively coupled to the device of the user may verify if the body activity data satisfies one or more conditions set by the cryptocurrency system, and award cryptocurrency to the user whose body activity data is verified.”

This patent envisions the use of a sensor that detects “the body activity of the user” and reports it to an outside digital computing source. The behavior of the individual then becomes the basis for his or her award of “cryptocurrency.” The reward or lack thereof results from what the senor reports regarding the conduct of the individual.

Now imagine a world where all currency exists digitally, and that day is coming, and your receipt of it does not come entirely from the fruit of your labor, but from behaving according to the desires of a distant governing body that sets the parameters by which the computing source rewards you. They will know your every move because your activity is monitored by a chip inside you or a mark on your body.

This is the future envisioned by Patent WO2020060606 – Cryptocurrency System Using Body Activity Data.

2. ID2020: INCLUDING THE “SMALL” AND THE “POOR” IN THE ANTICHRIST’S PROGRAM

ID2020 is another Bill Gates and Microsoft initiative that seeks to provide 1.1 billion people in the world with the legal identification that they currently lack; it will give them a digital ID along with a vaccine, of course. They will be one and the same.

Here is a description of ID2020 from the official Microsoft blog, dated January 22, 2018:

As discussions begin this week at the World Economic Forum, creating universal access to identity is an issue at the top of Microsoft’s agenda, and we think technology can be a powerful tool to tackle this challenge. It was last summer that Microsoft took a first step, collaborating with Accenture and Avanade on a blockchain-based identity prototype on Microsoft Azure. Together, we pursued this work in support of the ID2020 Alliance – a global public-private partnership dedicated to aiding the 1.1 billion people around the world who lack any legal form of identity. To say that we were encouraged by its mission would be an understatement. We were inspired by it.

Notice the players include the World Economic Forum (WEF) that vigorously promotes both the Great Reset and transhumanism. ID2020 is not some isolated initiative that does not relate to transhumanism or the effort of the globalists to control people. It’s all about identifying everyone on earth so the globalists can include them into their system of worldwide control, vaccinate them, and thereby continually monitor and dictate their behavior.

3. QUANTUM DOT TECHNOLOGY: THE TATTOO

So far, we have looked at the plans of the globalists to incorporate everyone on the planet into their scheme of controlling the flow of digital currency. But how do they intend to do this?

“Quantum dot” technology may answer that question; I believe this will become the means for the antichrist to deliver his infamous mark and accompanying vaccine to the population of the world. By it, he will mark those who belong to him by tattooing their right hand or forehead.

According to Bill Gates, quantum dot delivery of a future vaccines will connect the recipient to an external digital source via the ID2020 technology to verify the vaccination. Initially, this will vaccinate the individual as well as leave a tattoo, perhaps visible, that will electronically reveal his or her vaccine status.

Together, these three initiatives lay out a clear path to what will become the “mark of the beast” by the halfway point of the tribulation. By then, the electronic tattoo will appear on one’s forehead and hand and reveal one’s ability to buy and sell as well as to the degree they are able to participate in such activities.

Later, this tattoo will be the only means of participating in market of goods and services.

Before the dawn of this century, it would have taken an army of several hundred thousand to control the buying the selling across the planet and even then, it would not have been foolproof. Now with artificial intelligence and all the many advances related to transhumanism, the technology exists for one person to do this.

That person will be the antichrist. The globalists will have everything in place before he steps onto the world stage. Because of the speed at which technology and transhumanism are advancing, everything will be ready for him when the time comes for him to appear on the world’s stage.

Biblical Truth Has Become Scarce…

Watching for Christ’s Return

Christians are not looking for the rise of the Antichrist. We are not looking for apostasy. We are not looking for the Great Tribulation or even the Mark of the Beast. We are looking for the Christ.

Maranatha, Pastor Steve <><

Watching for Christ’s Return
“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come….Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” (Matthew 24:42, 44)

Those who try to predict Christ’s return may become skeptical about biblical prophecy. But this would be a sad mistake. Regardless of just when it will happen, Christ will return, for so He promised, and He cannot either lie or fail. He has repeatedly made it plain that no one can determine the date of His coming. Not even He, while in His human limitations, knew that (Mark 13:32).

Again and again He urged us to watch and be ready for His return. He did not tell us to watch for the Antichrist or the revival of Rome’s empire or a great apostasy or a great revival or a world government or anything else—just for Him! Note some of His commands to do this (in addition to the two in our text).

“Take ye heed, watch and pray, for ye know not when the time is” (Mark 13:33).

“Watch ye therefore:…Lest coming suddenly, he find you sleeping” (Mark 13:35-36).

“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh” (Matthew 25:13).

In addition to such exhortations by the Lord Himself, the apostles also sounded similar warnings.

“Unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation” (Hebrews 9:28).

“Abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming” (1 John 2:28).

Space limitations preclude listing others, but again in the words of Christ: “And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch” (Mark 13:37). HMM

The Currency Reset Is Coming – 90% Of Nations Planning Digital Currency

Once cash is removed, governments will be in charge of every monetary transaction in existence. Governments are already demanding personal information from banks. The noose is tightening. Another giant step towards a cashless society and the Mark of the Beast.

Maranatha, The Lord Is Coming Pastor Steve <><

**Breaking News Updates – May 10, 2022**

BY KIT KNIGHTLY/ACTIVIST POST MAY 10, 2022

A new report from the Bank for International Settlements estimates that up to 90% of national central banks are at least in the planning stages for launching a central bank digital currency (CBDC):

Nine out of 10 central banks are exploring central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and more than half are now developing them or running concrete experiments. In particular, work on retail CBDCs has moved to more advanced stages

This echoes a March report from the IMF, which claimed over one hundred nations are at least in the planning stages of releasing their own CBDC.

You can read the entire IMF report here, or a summary published by Bloomberg here.

It seems programs of government-issued digital money have been gaining momentum all around the world since at least 2020, and apparently, now they exist in over half the countries on the planet.

The newest of these – Brazil and Namibia – announced their plans only last month.

As with all globalist agendas, the push for CBDCs is always part of ‘the current thing’.

First, it was a response to Covid. Then they could help us halt climate change. Then they’re a response to the war in Ukraine.

Using that method they have moved from a barely-discussed fringe idea to regular mainstream coverage and 90% of the world trying them out, all within the space of a couple of years.

Interestingly, while CBDCs are being talked about more and more, there is one specific feature of them which is being talked about less and less: Programmability.

Programmability is a major feature of digital currency which would allow the issuer to set limits and controls over its use.

Essentially, any CBDC would give either the state, the central bank or the corporation issuing the money as wages the power to control how and where the money is spent.

The end of economic freedom is coming and it’s coming soon on a global scale.

Revelation 13:16-18 King James Version

¹⁶And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

¹⁷And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

¹⁸Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Bible prophecy scholars have long warned that the scripture foretells a day when a global leader (AKA The Antichrist) will be able to control what you buy and sell with his ‘mark’. The idea that money itself could be programmable so that only those ‘loyal’ can spend it or restricting the ability of commercial transactions to those with religious or political allegiance is a scary layer to this future scenario that is only now revealing itself.

Collapse Of A Christian Worldview By Parents Has Infected Next Generation

I joked with our parishioners last Sunday that if I had a quarter for everyone in attendance under the age of 55, that I couldn’t buy 1/2 gallon of gas. Yes, the United States of America is devoid of a Biblical / Christian worldview. The stage is indeed set for the Antichrist, as people will stand in line in order to be first to receive the Mark of the Beast! (Revelation 13:16-18) Maranatha, Pastor Steve <><

**Breaking News Updates – May 07, 2022**

BY GEORGE BARNA/FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL MAY 6, 2022

The statistics are appalling. Among American parents of children under age 13, only two percent have a biblical worldview, and even among self-identified born-again Christians, the number is only eight percent. So, if a biblical worldview isn’t dominant, what is?

“Kids these days” are shaped by watching their parents. That’s the takeaway from the Cultural Research Center (CRC) at Arizona Christian University’s latest survey. “Young children are watching their parents. They’re listening to their parents, and they’re trying to put those two things together,” said George Barna, CRC Director and FRC Senior Research Fellow for the Center for Biblical Worldview.

“The problem is, they’re seeing a contradiction between word and deed. The conclusion we discovered that children draw is, ‘what a shame. My parents seem as confused as I am. So, this faith that they’re talking about must not have the answers.'”

The statistics are appalling. Among American parents of children under age 13, only two percent have a biblical worldview, and even among self-identified born-again Christians, the number is only eight percent. “Between 15 to 18 months of age is when most children start forming their worldview,” explained Barna on Washington Watch.

“By the age of 13, it’s almost completely in place.” Barna’s worldview research discerns the presence of a biblical worldview with questions about biblical inerrancy, the character of God, the life of Christ, absolute moral truth, and salvation by faith.

Just because parents aren’t consciously building their children’s worldview doesn’t mean one isn’t forming. “A child needs a worldview, so if we don’t help them develop it, somebody else will.” Barna’s research found “four major influences on worldview”: public schools, media, arts and entertainment, and “the laws of the land… because that’s what teaches us right from wrong partly.”

So, if a biblical worldview isn’t dominant, what is? “More than nine out of 10 parents of preteens (94 percent) have a syncretistic worldview — a grab bag of beliefs and behaviors taken from a variety of philosophies of life,” said Barna. “Most parents mix some biblical ideals with… Marxism to Eastern mysticism and everything in between.”

Throw in a little Marxism there, a bit of Eastern mysticism there, season generously with nationalism, stir in a dollop of post-modernism, and garnish with secular environmentalism — and parents have concocted for their own worldview and their children’s a witch’s brew more poisonous than nutritious. God does not accept syncretistic worship (Exodus 34:14).

Part of the problem is the teaching in churches, neither equipping children with a biblical worldview, nor empowering parents to do so. “We’re telling them Bible stories, but not teaching them biblical truths,” lamented Perkins. Instead of teaching the Bible and worshiping God, Barna added, churches are busy measuring the “numbers of people showing up.”

Sure, a brief, flashy performance might draw a crowd for now. But if churches neglect the core distinctives of Christianity, why should anyone bother even showing up for the long haul? If church becomes merely a forum for social interaction, families may as well spend their Sunday on the lake, at a cookout, or at the ballpark.

Community outreach is fine, even necessary. But churches can’t stop there. Perkins shared his own childhood experience in an unchurched home, and then attending Vacation Bible School. He came for the cookies and stayed for eternal life. “I’m grateful that the church I was in… taught the Scripture. And so I developed that biblical worldview.”

The church didn’t just teach Tony; his whole family was saved as a result. “I can recall my dad reading Our Daily Bread and the Bible,” Perkins continued. “I saw the Bible was important to him, so it became important to me.”

FRC President Tony Perkins asked Barna about the prospect for parents who lack a solid biblical foundation being able to instill on in their children, “how can you teach what you don’t have?” Barna responded that an “outsourcing approach to parenting” is not the solution, even if it is “the chief parenting strategy of most young parents today.” Hiring teachers, coaches, tutors, and pastors is risky, because who knows what behaviors they’re going to model? No, the responsibility lies squarely on parents.

“George and I are not giving our opinion,” said Perkins. “It’s God’s word. He’s the one that says parents are responsible for teaching their kids. So I can’t apologize for that.” Long before the invention of social science research techniques, God in his infinite wisdom designed a perfect mechanism for moral instruction: the family.

“A worldview isn’t just what you believe,” said Barna. “It’s also how you behave, because you do what you believe.” When confronted with the bleak outlook that Barna’s data show, we have two options.

We can be paralyzed by anxiety and fear over what America is becoming, or we can trust that God, as always, will use these circumstances for his glory. “We have a remnant of about 15 million adults across the country that have a biblical worldview,” Barna reminded viewers. “God always uses a remnant.”

He Is Risen! ~ The Date Christ Rose & The True Origin of Easter

The Date Christ Rose & The True Origin of Easter 

Have a Blessed Easter Holiday in celebrating Jesus Christ’s resurrection

Our Risen Lord and the Origin of Easter
      We celebrate a day we call Easter in remembrance of our risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but what do we really know about this holiday? It is a time of rejoicing and prayer and thanks that God Loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son into the world (John 3:16) to bring us the Truth (John 18:37), to die for us, and God raised Him after being buried three days and three nights. God did this because He loves us so dearly that He prepared a way for us to go to heaven to be with Him as we could not do it ourselves. By sending His Son to live a sinless life and conquer death, we likewise can enter heaven if, and only if, we are covered by Jesus Christ’s blood, accepting the Holy Spirit into us, and serve and obey Him (Matt 24:13).

     Christ rising from the dead is the most important and monumental event in human history and is the basis for our faith. Paul said, “And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain … And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.” (1 Cor 15:14,17).

What Date did God raise Jesus Christ?

     Christ conquered death and we likewise do not fear death (Hosea 13:14). Easter is a time in which Christian churches have a sunrise service in celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord. In 1894, Sir Robert Anderson (the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Dept, in Scotland Yard, London) wrote “The Coming Prince“, a work that details the timing of Daniels’s seventy weeks, and specifically the timing of Christ’s declaration of the Messiah on Palm Sunday. [Those that do not have this book, I implore you to get a copy and read it. It is a valuable resource in the study of prophecy.]

    Sir Robert Anderson detailed the timing of Christ’s first declaration very precisely as the Messiah as he sat on the colt of a donkey walking on palm branches into Jerusalem while the crowds shouted, “Hosannah to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” (Matt 21:9). In short, the prophecy in Dan 9:25-26 was so precise that it indicated that Christ would be killed during Passover as the sacrificial Lamb of God 483 years of days (exactly 173,880 days = 12 mo/yr x 30 days/mo x 483 yr) after the command was given for the rebuilding of the temple. King Artaxerxes of Persia decreed this in the month of Nisan in the twentieth year of his reign and the temple was subsequently rebuilt as a result of that decree.

     Therefore, the scribes and Pharisees should have known that Christ would come and be declared as the Messiah 173,880 days later, which fell on the Passover week in Nisan 32 AD. Jesus wept because the religious teachers of that day did not know the day of His coming (Luke 19:41-44) which was so clearly pointed out in the Scriptures. Sir Anderson chronologically detailed the span to end exactly on April 6^th, 32AD. This is the date corresponding to the prophetic timeframe given and is believed that Jesus rode upon the cult into Jerusalem on that date. That Passover week when Jesus was put on trial, found to be without fault, and crucified. God the Father rose Jesus the Sunday after Jesus was buried three days and three nights, on April 13^th, 32AD. Based on the prior works, this is the date in which Christ rose.

If Christ arose on April 13^th, why don’t we celebrate that date each year?

     Soon after Christ rose, the spirit of the Antichrist was well established and essentially ran the dominate church for the next 1,400+ years, including the entire dark age. John warned the early Christians to be aware that the spirit of the Antichrist was already in the world (1 John 4:3). At one time this church executed everyone that even possessed a copy of the scriptures and forced as much of the world as they could to join their church through fear and intimidation. It is estimated that this church martyred over 50 million true Christians during this time that refused to join the “mother church”.

     To have as many pagans join their church as possible, they accepted and incorporated the most important pagan holidays into the church with a slight Christian spin on each so the pagans could continue to worship their idols and “gods” and yet still be a part of the church. We are commanded by the scriptures to separate ourselves from the world, not merge into it, but this is not what they did. (2 Cor 6:14-17; Rom 12:1-2; 1 John 2:15-17; Gen 12:1-3; 1 Cor 1:26-28; 2 Cor 7:1; Eph 2:1-3; James 4:4; 1 Peter 1:13-16; Luke 14:26-27; John 15:19; John 17:3-4,17; 1 Cor 2:10-16; Heb 11:8-10; 1 Peter 2:9; 1 John 5:19-20; Rev 18:4; Ex 8:22; Ex 12:40-42; Joshua 24:2-3; Ezek 33:10-11; Matt 16:24-26; John 18:36; Acts 7:2-3; Phil 3:20; Col 1:13; Col 3:1; Heb 12:1,14; 1 Peter 2:11; 1 Peter 4:3-4; 1 John 3:1).

     One of these pagan holidays incorporated was celebrated in April, and various pagan cultures gave it a couple of different names. The Roman called it The Feast of the Vernal Equinox, while most cultures celebrated and worshiped Eostre (as a Teutonic goddess of both the dawn and spring and the pagan symbol of fertility). The holiday started on the sunrise of the day after the first full moon, after the spring equinox. When the church embraced this holiday in 325AD and included all the pagan practices and symbolism into the holiday, they changed the date of the holiday to start on the sunrise of the first Sunday, after the first full moon, after the spring equinox. With this type of definition, Easter can occur within a four-week span, mostly in April, on any given year.

WARNING: Following contains disturbing origin of Easter’s Symbolism

     There is a great deal that can be written about the origin and symbolism of this holiday, and there is also a tremendous amount of misinformation as well. Based on the careful study of cultures and traditions spanning two thousand years before Christ, I will present the most solid basis available for the origins of Easter, the practices and symbolism used, and why. It will then be up to you to see how they fit into the current version of how “Christians” celebrate this holiday. The following is but a brief summation of a few of the practices and symbolism in the worshiping of the goddess Eostre.

     Mystery Babylon: Our journey starts over 2,000 years BEFORE Christ at the beginning of Mystery Babylon, the very origin of pagan religions. The high priest and king of ancient Babylon in the Scriptures was Nimrod, and his wife was Ishtar. Ishtar had a son named Tammuz, whom she claimed was the son of God (the promised seed of the woman indicated in Gen 3:15). [Satan loves to create counterfeits, and this one extends thousands of years, and we still “worship” Ishtar, Tammuz, and Nimrod today via symbolism]. This also became the beginning of “Mother-Son” worship. Tammuz was also symbolized by a golden calf as the son of the sun-god, Nimrod.

    Easter Eggs: The name Eostre is traced having various spellings over the centuries since the original Babylon. Eostre (or Eastre) traces to Ostera, then to Astarte, and finally to Ishtar [pronounced the same way we pronounce “Easter” today]. Ishtar (Mother) is referring to the wife of Nimrod, the sun-god (Father) having Tammuz (Son), but where did the legend say that Ishtar came from? Legend tells us that a giant egg fell from the sky into the Euphrates River, which was rolled to the shore by huge fish, and then doves descended from heaven and incubated it. The goddess Ishtar then came out of the egg, and hence the egg throughout most pagan cultures world-wide became the symbol of fertility. The egg became the symbol of the goddess Easter herself. Therefore, the symbol of using the “Ishtar Egg” to worship Ishtar can also be traced back to the origins of Mystery Babylon. The practice and use of this symbol and spread world-wide for over 2,000 years in most cultures prior to Christ.

    Died and Raised Again? I mentioned in prior newsletters that Satan loves to deceive and create counterfeits and this one is a doozy as it extends more than 2,000 years BEFORE Christ. [In addition, after Constantine married Church and State in the 4^th century AD, the church merged Babylonian paganism in church practices where they remain today in nearly all Christian churches world-wide regardless of the denomination]. Ever wonder why this holiday was around the Vernal Equinox? Babylonian folklore tells us that Tammuz died, and his mother raised him from the dead with her tears and the manifestation of his resurrected life was the green spring vegetation. To incorporate this pagan holiday within the church, the church made the connection of Tammuz’s resurrection in the spring with Christ’s resurrection also in the spring, thereby giving pagans another reason to join the church. There also was a Babylonian tradition that the death and resurrection of Tammuz were celebrated by a great feast followed by a Lenten fast [known as “Lent” practiced by the ancient Egyptians and kept by much of the church today].

    Bunny Rabbit? This is all leading to the exact timing of the holiday to worship “the rising of Nimrod (the sun-god)”. The Bunny Rabbit (or Hare) is the next step in the timing of the holiday. [Rabbits clearly don’t lay eggs so what’s going on here? We see ads each year of a Easter Bunny carrying a basket of eggs and yet few question it. How else are they going to explain a connection unless they fabricate one?] The Babylonian custom actually referred to a “Hare” and not a Rabbit. Prior to 325AD, Easter fell on the first day after the first full moon (after the vernal equinox) but why? The full moon symbolizes “eyes wide open”. Hares are born with their eyes fully open and hence at this time symbolizes a date where your eyes should be open and watching – for what – for the sunrise and the sun-god.

     Sunrise Service: Perhaps the most disturbing tradition (for myself) is the sunrise service. Please don’t get me wrong. There are no words to express the love, gratitude, and deep abiding comfort in Christ that we have as followers of Christ living within us through the Holy Spirit, and none of this would be possible if Christ had not conquered death. However, knowing the original pagan intention of a “sunrise service” makes me shutter in how far Satan will go to push his agenda. I can imagine Satan laughing at our sunrise service, knowing that Christians have incorporated a tradition that pagans have been practicing for thousands of years. We celebrate the resurrection of our blessed Lord, but for over 2,000 years before Christ and hundreds of years after, pagans stayed out all night on their lit hills on the night of the full moon with their eyes wide open, waiting for their sun-god to rise in the morning bringing life to the world (spring).

    There are other pagan symbols and practices that are associated with Easter which are embraced by most churches, but you get the point. The Easter Holiday counterfeit is perhaps one of the most disturbing to me as Satan shows his parallel trinity Nimrod, Tammuz, and Ishtar vs the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit complete with a resurrected son and created a 2,000+ year yearly cycle of him being worshiped at a sunrise service. Nowhere in the scriptures are eggs or rabbits connected with Jesus’ resurrection; nor does the scripture suggest that we should celebrate at sunrise Christ’s resurrection. All those are of pagan origin which give homage to Satan and the Queen of Heaven (Jer 7:16-20; Jer 44:17-25; 1 Kings 11:5; Ezek 8:14).

Are we Permitted to Celebrate the Easter Holiday?

     Yes, is the answer with a caveat. The current practice world-wide for Christians to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is so widespread and universally understood that the original pagan traditions have all but disappeared in the background. The one caveat that I mentioned is on the possibility that a brother or sister in Christ understands the pagan origins and feels that you are sinning by celebrating in that manner (even though you’re celebrating Christ’s resurrection). Paul tells us in 1 Cor 8:13 what we must do under those circumstances. After explaining to them all the information available to you, if they still feel it is a sin, you are not to brush it off but comply with their request to refrain from celebrating it in that manner they feel offended. You do not want to risk implying to your brother or sister that you are intentionally sinning if they believe it to be a sin. We are not to be a stumbling block for anyone that might harm their growth in the knowledge of our Lord.

Have a Blessed Easter Holiday in celebrating Jesus Christ’s resurrection. Even now, Jesus is in Heaven preparing a place for those that love and follow Him!

The Top Three Telltale Signs Of The End Times

Breaking News Updates – November 09, 2020

The last days, latter days, latter years and the time of the end are a few scriptural expressions of the biblical end times. The fact that this present earth has an expiration date is a central theme within the Bible.
Apocalyptic predictions appear to be currently rolling off their ancient parchments and pounding down on the world’s pavement, which is why many of today’s reputable Bible scholars believe that mankind is already living in the last days!
Presently, there exists a flurry of telltale signs that indicate the FINAL BIBLICAL PROPHECIES are about to find their fulfillment. This article covers what seem to be the top three.
TELLTALE SIGN #1:The Rebirth of Israel as a NationTELLTALE SIGN #2:The Convergence of All End Times SignsTELLTALE SIGN #3:The Cryptocurrencies, National Digital Currencies, Blockchain Technologies, Global Digital ID and the Mark of the Beast Connections.
#1:The Rebirth of Israel as a Nation Most prophecy experts that believe these are the last days teach the world hourglass made its final turn toward the end of days, on May 14, 1948 when Israel was rebirthed as a nation. A few of the prophecies that were fulfilled are provided below. Some of these passages correlate the latter years with the end of the Jewish Diaspora.
“…that the Lord your God will bring you (the Jews) back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the Lord your God has scattered you.” (Deuteronomy 30:3, NKJV; emphasis added)”He will set up a banner for the nations, And will assemble the outcasts of Israel, And gather together the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth.” (Isaiah 11:12, NKJV)
“For I, (the LORD), will take you, (the Jews), from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land, (of historic Israel).” (Ezekiel 36:24, NKJV; emphasis added)
“After many days you, (a coalition of invaders), will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they, (the Jews) were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely.” (Ezek. 38:7, NKJV; emphasis added)
“You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” (Ezek. 38:16)
These are just a few of the prophecies that were either fulfilled entirely or at least partially when Israel was reinstated as a nation. A few others are found in Isaiah 66:18, Ezekiel 37:21, Jeremiah 29:14 and elsewhere.
The regathering of the Jews into their historic homeland was unprecedented when you consider that one, it was prophesied, and two, no ethnic group had ever survived through a diaspora as long as the Jewish people. Some estimates are that 400 years stood as the historical record for an ethnic people to return from exile into their homeland.
The Jewish people shattered this record by over 1478 years. The Jewish Diaspora officially began in 70 A.D. when the Roman Empire destroyed Jerusalem and the Second Jewish Temple and lasted for 1878 years until Israel was rebirthed as a nation on May 14, 1948.

#2:The Convergence of All End Times Signs
As conclusive as the rebirth of Israel is as a telltale sign, the convergence of all the last days predictions is even more convincing. There is no technology undeveloped, weapon unmade or no national relationships unformed that would prohibit the rapid acceleration of the end of days!
The list of the FINAL BIBLICAL PROPHECIES that are currently converging is too exhaustive to cover in this short article. However, these foretellings are comprehensively covered in my end times book and DVD series alluded to at the end of this article.
If you are not yet familiar with these important end times predictions, then you will be encouraged to discover that alongside the secular worldview, there exists a biblical narrative and prophetic perspective you can learn about that will have relevance in your lifetime. This book and DVD series should convince you, as it has done for many others, that these are the latter days.
#3:The Cryptocurrencies, National Digital Currencies, Blockchain Technologies, Global Digital ID and the Mark of the Beast Connections.
The proof in the prophetic pudding that these are the last days seems to be summed up in the potential connections between the rapidly developing digital currencies, blockchain and global digital ID technologies and the coming cashless society of the Antichrist, which is part and parcel with the Mark of the Beast. In the verses below, we are told that a time is forthcoming when all consumerism is controlled by the Mark of the Beast. Consumerism is the preoccupation of society with the acquisition of consumer goods.
“He, (the False Prophet in cahoots with the Antichrist), causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark, (of the Beast), or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” (Revelation 13:16-17, NKJV; emphasis added).
The current COVID-19 pandemic and the hunt to find a vaccine cure for it, has put many nations, banks, businesses and credit card companies in a race to find the better Bitcoin, which was the first decentralized cryptocurrency. Could this be a telltale sign edging towards the Mark of the Beast connections? Check out a few of the recent headlines below.
“Is the Coronavirus Killing Off Cash?” – “Tech firms see the opportunity they’ve been waiting for as shoppers and business recoil from paper money. Who’s hurt when legal tender goes away?” (Politico – 4/17/20)
“Is This The End of Cash?” – “With the coming paper currency apocalypse, your money will no longer be good here. Or there. Or anywhere.” (Town and Country – 1/28/19)
“PayPal reveals that it is developing crypto capabilities” – “PayPal’s revelation is significant since it is said to be in the works to offer crypto buying and selling services to its over 300 million users.” (The Block – 7/14/20)
“Mastercard and Visa Are Making Bold Moves Toward Mass Crypto Adoption” – “Global payment processors Mastercard and Visa are laying the foundations for crypto support that may drive adoption on a global scale.” (Cointelegraph – 7/31/20)
“China Rolls Out Pilot Test of Digital Currency” -“China’s central bank has introduced a homegrown digital currency across four cities as part of a pilot program, marking a milestone on the path toward the first electronic payment system by a major central bank.” (WSJ – 4/20/20)
“Germany is Considering the Advantages of Launching a Digital Euro” – “Over the last couple of years, numerous countries worldwide have issued statements concerning their plans for developing central bank-backed digital currencies (CBDCs). CBDCs are basically the direct response of governments to cryptocurrencies as we know them. After all, if the digital currency market is here to stay, countries want to preserve their national fiat currencies for as long as possible, before losing control of the financial market as we know it.” (CryptoNews – 10/17/19)
“Blockchain May Offer Solutions to Fighting Covid-19” -“The Blockchain Research Institute.. report identified five key areas where blockchain could be deployed to fight Covid-19 as well as future pandemics: identity, health records and shared data; just-in-time supply chains; sustaining the economy; a rapid response registry for medical professionals; and incentives models to reward responsible behavior.” (Wall Street Journal – 5/1/20)
“Why ‘every person on the planet’ will need a digital ID” – “So the organization that I run, ID2020, is leading an alliance of large private-sector companies, small startups, UN agencies, NGOs, governments…And by 2030, our goal is to enable access to digital identity for every person on the planet.” (Venturebeat.com-6/21/17)
“Why blockchain could be your next form of ID as a world citizen” – “ID is key for accessing education, healthcare, voting, banking, housing, and other family benefits, the press release noted. ID2020’s goal is to create a secure, established digital ID system for all citizens worldwide.” (Tech Republic-6/20/20) These headlines are just a few that are included in my latest book entitled, The FINAL Prophecies: The Prophecies of the Last 3 1/2 Years of the Tribulation. In The FINAL Prophecies book, I provide three chapters about this third telltale sign, the Mark of the Beast. The chapters are entitled,

Are We Setting The Stage For The End Times?

**Breaking News Updates – April 01, 2022**

Are We Setting The Stage For The End Times?

BY BRITT GILLETTE/END TIMES BIBLE PROPHECY APRIL 01, 2022

Is it possible the Genesis story of Joseph and Pharaoh will play out a second time? Desperate for food, most of the world will willingly give their wealth and power to anyone who can feed them. Just as in ancient Egypt, when the dust finally settles, one man will control everything.

In January, I wrote about a coming global famine. The political push to move from fossil fuels to renewable energy, coupled with COVID shutdown supply and demand distortions, resulted in much higher energy prices. This was particularly true in Europe where the accelerated push for green energy led to a surging energy crisis. Asking, “What does this have to do with rising food prices?,” I pointed to this Zero Hedge article which stated:

“You can’t make fertilizer without urea and natural gas. As the price of either of these goes higher (both are), it significantly impacts the price of fertilizer. The price of fertilizer impacts in turn the price of food. This is because fertilizer is the second largest cost component of most agricultural production. The first being… you guessed it, diesel.”

Entering 2022, rising energy costs had driven up prices for both diesel and fertilizer. This led to increased food production costs. Those, in turn, impact the feed cost for cattle, hogs, chickens, and other animals. This means higher costs for meat producers.

Global supply chain issues are another reason we saw rising food prices. While increased demand due to COVID lockdowns and hoarding both played a factor, the majority of food shortages were due to problems rippling through the global supply chain.

In summary, as we entered 2022, we were already facing a major food crisis, both in terms of supply and price. However, in that same article, I warned it could get much worse. “Rumors of war” were everywhere – Russia/Ukraine, China/Taiwan, and Iran/Israel. Back then, I wrote:

“If any of these areas erupt into war, the result will be a disaster for the global economy. Oil prices will go much higher. Global trade will contract. Supply chains will break down even further, and food prices will skyrocket. Worse than that, a major conflict could lead to food shortages throughout the world. Is this what China is preparing for?”

That last sentence referenced China’s hoarding of grain. Coming into the year, China held 69% of global maize reserves, 60% of global rice reserves, and 51% of global wheat reserves. Why did China stockpile so much food? In hindsight, it’s clear. They knew the Russian invasion of Ukraine was coming, and they knew the impact such a conflict would have on the global food supply.

The Post-Invasion Global Food Market

Even now, most people fail to recognize the dire consequences of Russia’s attack on Ukraine. The impact goes far beyond the battlefields of Eastern Europe, effecting every nation on the planet. The war in Ukraine has transformed a situation where global food supplies were tight into an unavoidable global food crisis. Why? Below is a list of six reasons 2022/2023 will be an absolute disaster for the global food supply.

1) Sanctions – The sanctions the U.S. and its allies put in place to punish Russia will have serious consequences for the global food market. Russia produces far more than oil. It’s also the earth’s largest wheat exporter, accounting for 18% of global sales. And fossil fuels also play a major role in food production. Diesel fuel powers farm equipment as well as the trucks that bring food to market, and natural gas is a critical component in the production of fertilizer. In short, the sanctions placed on Russia will strain global supply chains and increase the price of agricultural commodities wherever they are grown.

2) Poor Harvests – The sanctions kick in at a time when global food supplies are already tight. Now, extreme drought threatens to destroy the winter wheat crop in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Half of U.S. wheat production is hard red winter wheat. A reduced crop will put further pressure on food prices.

Unfortunately, the U.S. isn’t alone. China’s Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Tang Renjian, cited heavy rainfall last year for delaying the planting of around one-third of China’s normal wheat acreage. According to Tang, “a survey of the winter wheat crop taken before the start of winter found the amount of first- and second-grade crop was down more than 20 percentage points.”

In addition to droughts and poor harvests, a bird flu outbreak is threatening poultry production on a global scale. Because of an outbreak in Israel, “authorities estimate about 600,000 hens may need to be destroyed to contain the virus.” In the United States, the bird flu outbreak “has already resulted in the deaths of almost 2.8 million birds” (most of them chickens or turkeys). This has a direct impact on the supply of eggs, chicken, and turkey – driving up food prices and creating product shortages.

3) The Ukrainian Harvest – With Ukraine under siege, how many farmers do you think are planting their fields? Not many. Even if they do manage to plant and harvest, how will their produce get to market? The invasion devastated roads and infrastructure throughout the country. This will have a dramatic impact on global food supply. Ukraine is the world’s 5th largest wheat exporter, accounting for 7% of global sales in 2019. 71% of Ukraine’s land is agricultural. For centuries, they’ve been known as “the bread basket of Europe,” and some countries are wholly dependent on Ukraine for food supplies.

4) Black Sea Shipping – Because of the war, Black Sea shipping is almost non-existent. Insurance rates for ships entering the Black Sea are sky high. Even if they wanted to get into the area, it’s simply not economical for ships to do business in the Black Sea. These empty shipping lanes translate into dire consequences for the world. Together, Russia and Ukraine account for 25% of global wheat sales. Moreover, around “one-fifth of the corn trade and 12% of all calories traded globally come from Ukraine and Russia.” All that food can’t make it to the rest of world. War and sanctions have brought regional food exports to a screeching halt.

5) Food Protectionism – Even if the Black Sea re-opens tomorrow, the food exports aren’t coming. Why? Because the war has caused a cascade of nations to ban food exports in the name of domestic food security. For this very reason, Ukraine banned all agricultural exports. Russia also banned exports. According to Interfax, “Russia’s Agriculture Ministry said the country could ban wheat, rye, barley and corn exports from March 15 to June 30.”

Meanwhile, Argentina (the world’s top exporter of processed soy products) suspended soybean meal and oil exports. Along with Ukraine and Russia, Argentina is part of a growing list of countries banning exports of agricultural goods. Others include Moldova, Hungary, Serbia, Algeria, Indonesia, Turkey, and others.

6) The Fertilizer Shortage – As mentioned previously, you can’t make fertilizer without urea and natural gas. Russia is the world’s top exporter of both. Not surprisingly, Russia is also the world’s #1 exporter of fertilizer. On March 10, Russia announced the suspension of fertilizer exports. Think about the implications of that. At a time when global food prices are already at all-time highs, when Ukraine’s massive grain production might be lost for the year, and when global supply chains are in a state of chaos, the world’s top fertilizer exporter won’t be supplying fertilizer. I don’t think the world fully understands the implications yet.

According to The Epoch Times:

“Russia produces 50 million tons of fertilizer every year, accounting for 13 percent of the world’s total. The country is a major producer of potash, phosphate, and nitrogen-containing fertilizers which serve as major crop and soil nutrients. Amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the cost of fertilizer has already risen significantly across the globe and is expected to further impact the cost of goods and push food prices higher. However, even before the invasion, fertilizer prices had risen drastically in part due to the rising gas costs which are needed to ship fertilizers across countries and continents.”

Of course, Russia notes the ban on exports will come with exceptions. “Friendly countries” will continue to receive fertilizer from Russia.

According to Bloomberg, Brazil is the world’s top exporter of soybeans, coffee, sugar, and a host of other agricultural commodities. They rely on imports for 85% of their fertilizer needs, and 28% of that comes from Russia and Belarus. If Brazil doesn’t get fertilizer, the world doesn’t get Brazil’s soybeans, coffee, and sugar.

Making matters worse, on Monday the AP News reported that a Canadian Pacific rail worker strike has brought all of Canadian Pacific’s trains to a standstill. The Canadian Pacific railway carries 70% of the potash produced in North America.

Needless to say, fertilizer will be in short supply this planting season, and the impact on global food production cannot be overstated.

Famine is Now Unavoidable

The only question is how high food prices will go and how severe the food shortages will be. The following quotes should serve as a wake-up call to anyone who takes food availability for granted. The year ahead will be difficult to say the least.

In this article, Fox Business interviewed Peter Zeihan, a geopolitical analyst and author. The following passage is from that article:

“‘All three source materials that go into fertilizer (phosphate, nitrogen, potash) are subject to abject shortage. And even if the war were to stop tomorrow, it’s already too late. It’s too late for the planting season for the Northern Hemisphere this year.’ Zeihan forecasted that the crisis will hit Brazil, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia the hardest as they will likely see significantly lower yields “than what is necessary to support the global population.”

“And as food prices rise, as they’ve been for the last two weeks – and pretty sharply – farmers will do what farmers do. They will plant what they think that they can grow for the greatest bang for their buck,” Zeihan said. “So, I can see (the United States) increasing our production and our exports by a small amount. But the scale of what we’re talking about here is insufficient food for hundreds of millions of people.”

Think about that. “Lower yields than what is necessary to support the global population” and “Insufficient food for hundreds of millions of people.” You can’t disrupt 12% of the global calories Russia and Ukraine produce and not have an epic disaster. Pray for God to provide everyone with what they need, and pray we can avert famine on a mass scale.

What Happens Now?

Henry Kissinger once said, “Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.” While the western media endlessly cites Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as a “miscalculation,” I ask you to consider another possibility. Perhaps this was Putin’s calculation from day one. Russia is the leading producer of vast natural resources and raw materials the world needs. This gives Putin immense leverage.

• He has leverage over Europe, which depends on him for 30% of its oil and 40% of its natural gas needs.

• He has leverage over the U.S. which, facing skyrocketing fuel prices, is begging Iran and Venezuela to make up the difference.

• He has leverage over China which, devoid of its own oil resources, has an unquenchable thirst for foreign oil to fuel the needs of its 1.4 billion people.

• He has leverage over Egypt, Turkey, Iran, and numerous countries that were almost entirely dependent on imported Ukrainian grains to feed their people.

Remember, Putin said “friendly countries” will be exempt from Russia’s fertilizer ban. In other words, stick with Putin, and you’ll eat. Turn against him, and you might starve. Putin understands the power he wields. He can use it to evade sanctions, possibly break up NATO, and realign the entire world power structure. As an example, read this article which outlines Turkey’s willingness to circumvent sanctions.

Turkish President Erdogan is in regular contact with Putin. He’s offered to settle trade in rubles, Chinese yuan, or gold – anything to get the grain vital for feeding his people. As the article states, “Erdogan also raised the problem of the 30 ships that are supposed to bring sunflower oil and wheat to Turkey but are currently stuck in the Sea of Azov. Russia is by far Turkey’s most important grain supplier. In 2020, it exported 7.7 million tons of wheat to Turkey, accounting for 75 percent of its imports.”

Turkey is a key member of NATO, yet they are completely dependent on Russia for their food supply. With the U.S. and its allies demanding nations pick a side in the conflict and abide by sanctions, whose side do you think Erdogan will ultimately choose? Will he chose the U.S., starve his country, and risk a revolution that throws him out of power? Or will he choose Russia, obtain food security for his country, and cement his place of power? I think the answer is obvious.

A new geopolitical order is forming. In all likelihood, Russia and China have formed a secret alliance. I believe China stockpiled grain because it knew of Russia’s plan to invade Ukraine. Perhaps China’s invasion of Taiwan is next. Russia is a natural resource and raw materials superpower. China is a manufacturing powerhouse. Together, they make a formidable alliance capable of challenging the United States and its allies for economic and military supremacy.

The Stage is Set for the End Times

Unfortunately, a worldwide famine appears to be on the horizon. The Bible warned of this long ago. It says a global famine will strike the world during the Tribulation. This famine will follow a global war (Revelation 6:4). In the aftermath, people will be desperate to survive. The Bible says in that time an entire day’s wages will only buy enough food to survive (Revelation 6:5-6). Is the coming famine the same famine from Revelation 6? I don’t know. But it could be.

In January, I wrote: “When this happens, it’s possible the Genesis story of Joseph and Pharaoh will play out a second time. Desperate for food, most of the world will willingly give their wealth and power to anyone who can feed them. Just as in ancient Egypt, when the dust finally settles, one man will control everything.”

Right now, Vladimir Putin wants to be that man. The Bible says the Antichrist will succeed where Putin fails. The signs of the times are all around us. The world is set up to experience a global war (Revelation 6:4), global famine (Revelation 6:5-6), and mass death (Revelation 6:8) on a scale we’ve never seen.

All the signs Jesus and the prophets said to look for are present today. We’re in the midst of a global pandemic (Luke 21:11). Israel is back in the land (Jeremiah 23:7-8). The Jewish people are back in Jerusalem (Luke 21:24-28). And the Gospel is being preached throughout the world (Matthew 24:14). Time is short. Spread the Gospel while you still can.

What Is the Unholy Trinity in the End Times, and How to Watch for It

What Is the Unholy Trinity in the End Times, and How to Watch for It

Hope BolingerSEO Editor
202123 Aug

dark figures in cloaks, unholy trinity

We’re all familiar with the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. But did you know an evil trinity of Satan’s own design shows up in the end times? It should come as no surprise to us that Satan steals from God’s original work. Satan never creates anything. He only twists what already exists. For instance, let’s take a look at sex. God made this as a holy gift to be enjoyed in a monogamous marriage between a consenting husband and wife. But Satan has taken sex and perverted it, twisted it into pornography, sex before marriage, and so many other iterations of sin.

Apply the same principle to the unholy trinity. So who is the unholy trinity—in other words, what three parts make up this evil entity? What are the characteristics of the unholy trinity? And how will we know we’ve encountered this during the end times?

What Is the Unholy Trinity in the Bible?

Revelation 12 and 13 give us a clear depiction of this entity that shows up in the Last Days. Instead of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, we have, as GotQuestions describes, Satan, the antichrist, and the false prophet.

Let’s break down each of these entities and the role they play in the end times.

Satan: We probably know the most about this section of the unholy trinity. Satan, once known as Lucifer, once lived in heaven with the other angels. Pride overtook him, and he managed to recruit one-third of heaven to follow him in his self-worship (Revelation 12:4). God cast out Satan and his demons from heaven. They await an eternal fate in the fiery lake at the end of Revelation. Satan, knowing this, hopes to drag as many people as possible with him to eternal damnation. He started by bringing sin into the world with Adam and Eve (Genesis 3) and will stop at nothing until his reign ends.

Antichrist: We’ve likely had a Christian tell us they know who the antichrist is. They tend to point to political leaders or leaders who have a significant amount of power. In truth, we probably haven’t encountered him or her yet, or at least, they haven’t made themselves known to be this figure who wreaks havoc in Revelation. How do we know this? Well someone needs to meet a certain amount of qualifications.

1) He/She needs to have major sway over the populace to the point where they are wooed by/love this figure (Revelation 13:3)

2) This figure needs a monumental amount of power over a one-world government, where they have control over religion, currency, and calendars (Revelation 13:1)

3) This figure needs to bring about a Roman revival and be vehemently anti-God and anti-Christian (Revelation 13:1)

There are many more characteristics, but we have yet to encounter a world leader who meets all of the criteria. Those who exercise discernment and who follow Christ will know when the antichrist steps onto the scene.

False Prophet: There are many “false prophets” today and throughout all time, but this one, in particular, performs “miracles” via demonic powers (Revelation 19:20). The false prophet will be in cahoots with the first beast (antichrist) and will lead many astray. Via the signs and wonders the false prophet performs, he or she will convince many to take on the Mark of the Beast. He or she will use the power of the tongue to sway many from barring themselves from heaven. After all, if someone takes on the Mark of the Beast, they prevent themselves from entering heaven. The false prophet will convince everyone to worship the antichrist.

Now that we have a grasp of each of the members of the unholy trinity, let’s talk about their role in the end times.

What Will the Unholy Trinity Do in the End Times?

We’ve hinted in the above paragraphs about what will take place. The antichrist, via the powers of Satan, will rise to power. And the false prophet will woo others to follow and worship him.

Here is a list of some of the things the unholy trinity will do in the End Times.

– The Prophet will give authority to the Beast, who will be worshipped by all people (Revelation 13)

– The Beast will exercise worldwide power for a short period of time. Most Christians say seven years (Revelation 13)

– The antichrist will wage war against God’s saints—persecuting and killing many Christians (Revelation 13)

– The False Prophet will continue to do demonic “miraculous” signs, including healing a fatal wound on the first beast (Revelation 13)

– The False Prophet commands the people to create an idolatrous image of the antichrist to worship it (Revelation 13)

– The Beasts will force all to take on the Mark of the Beast, which is the number 666. Anyone who does not take on the mark will not be allowed to purchase anything from food to homes (Revelation 13)

The unholy trinity will do far more in the End Times. But what’s important to know is that their power will not last forever, that God will pour out his wrath to avenge the saints who were persecuted and slain, and that sometime before or after the seven years of Tribulation, God will rescue his saints and step onto the scene.

How Can We Recognize the Unholy Trinity?

To be honest, we will know. At least, if we are in the Word daily, listen to the voice of God often, we will know when a false shepherd enters the flock. As we approach the Last Days, many candidates seem viable for the various parts of the unholy trinity. We may have encountered people who use false, wooing words to get people to fall away from the church and to worship something else. Many world leaders seem like they’ve vying for the position of the antichrist.

But until the world leader quite literally rules the world, we have a little more time before the antichrist steps onto the scene.

Remember, that before these events can take place, the Gospel needs to be spread to every tribe and nation. Although we’re close, we haven’t quite reached that goal yet. We also would need to be under a one-world government before we can make a clear distinction about the identity of the antichrist. This means being under one currency, one rule, etc. Although some politicians have made moves to strive toward one currency for the whole world, we haven’t gotten there quite yet.

Finally, the antichrist has to be vehemently non-Christian. He makes war against the saints of God, after all. Although many leaders have shown non-Christian ideals and some abhorrence to religion, no one has quite matched the criteria above. They tend to be more subtle with their anger against Christians, rather than outright blasphemous.

Enabling The Mark Of The Beast System

This is an incredible article, updating ancient Bible prophecy including the Mark of the Beast to the present. Note the two specific points listed below, that are highlighted throughout this article. Every time I hear our totalitarian president mandate the vaccine on various people groups, I see the Antichrist demanding all people to worship him, and to receive the Mark in order to buy or sell. It is truly amazing to observe our generation of younger people who have more than their share of technological savvy, yet lack a moral compass. They are perfect fodder to receive the Mark of the Beast

New York Governor Kathy Hochul says: “God wants you to be vaccinated.” I do not trust any New York governors of the past, especially Hochul and her predecessor. I do not think Governor Kathy Hochul knows God well enough to speak for him. Nor do I think she knows God’s will for every citizen of our nation. What a presumptuous and downright stupid comment. The unvaccinated realize that if the vaccine worked, you would not need booster shots. If the vaccine worked, you would not get COVID-19. If the vaccine worked, it would not deplete your immune system, further exposing you to a plethora of viruses, diseases, and illnesses. …and on and on and on.

1)The technology is here, whether it be a microchip, bar, symbol, etc. We do not know exactly what it will be, but we do know it will be visible for all to see.

2)COVID-19 / Vaccinations Or No, has presented the perfect dress rehearsal for the implementation of the Mark of the Beast. Instead of the freedom of the right to choose, Americans are manipulated by the government and polarized against each other. The government wants everyone to receive the vaccine, and they claim to not receive it is to endanger all those around you. This is a mindset that Americans have never had in the past, yet many today look to the government for answers (Nanny State) rather than to God. Get the vaccine? It is your choice and neither choice is right or wrong, but my friend, Don’t Tread On Me. Pro American / Anti Biden.

Enabling The Mark Of The Beast System

Those who refuse the mark of the beast will be shut out of the global economy. They’ll be unable to buy or sell anything without it. They’ll effectively be cut off from society. Are we setting the stage for such a system today?

As COVID-19 continues to circulate around the world, it becomes increasingly clear it poses a threat to more than just global health. Governments all over the world have used the crisis to expand their power and trample individual liberty. As 2021 nears its end, governments are increasingly dividing the world into two camps – the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.
For example, on September 9th, President Biden held a press conference in which he announced a series of new vaccine mandates potentially impacting more than 100 million Americans. Biden is authoring rules to require all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week. The ink hasn’t even dried yet on those executive orders, and already The Hill reports he’s mulling the idea of implementing vaccine requirements for all air travel.
In South Australia, the government is rolling out a new app that requires citizens to take a photo of themselves and report their location on demand within 15 minutes of authorities requesting it. The non-compliant will face a police investigation.
Recently, Australian MP Daniel Andrews vowed to “lock out” the unvaccinated when it comes to medical care and conducting commerce. “There is going to be a vaccinated economy, and you get to participate in that if you are vaccinated,” Andrews stated. “We’re going to move to a situation where, to protect the health system, we are going to lock out people who are not vaccinated and can be.”
In Italy, flying drones monitor the temperatures of beachgoers “to track COVID-19 and prevent health emergencies.” Israel, France, and countless other nations have set up “vaccine passport” systems. Under these systems, the unvaccinated are denied access to gyms, concerts, restaurants, and sporting events.
In the United States, similar measures have been put in place in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Universities make the vaccine a requirement for enrollment, and in some cases, the unvaccinated are denied medical care. For example, one Florida doctor sent a letter to her patients telling them she will no longer treat the unvaccinated.
Throughout the world, society is singling out the unvaccinated for punishment. Those who refuse the COVID vaccines face potential loss of jobs, healthcare, freedom of movement, and liberty in general. Those who support vaccine mandates and vaccine passports want to ostracize the unvaccinated from society. They seek to apply maximum pressure to force the unvaccinated into compliance.
Does any of this sound eerily familiar? It should. The Book of Revelation describes a similar system whereby the people of the world are forced to receive a mark on their right hand or forehead. Those who refuse to comply will be unable to buy or sell. They’ll effectively be cut off from society. Are COVID vaccines the mark of the beast written about in the Book of Revelation? No. The mark of the beast will involve a conscious decision to give one’s allegiance to the Antichrist. No one will accept it by mistake.
Nevertheless, vaccine mandates and passports create a social system enabling the mark of the beast. If they are allowed to stand, they will create a mark of the beast system indistinguishable in impact from the true mark of the beast. In doing so, they’ll pave the way for the rise of the Antichrist and the mark of the beast as outlined in the Book of Revelation. To understand why, let’s take a closer look at the biblical description of the mark.
What is the Mark?
What does the Bible actually say about the mark of the beast? It says the mark will be an outward expression of a person’s allegiance to the Antichrist. As global dictator, he’ll require it, and the mark will appear on a person’s right hand or forehead (Revelation 13:16). What will it look like? We don’t know for sure.

It could be a tattoo, a microchip, or something else (maybe even a vaccine). But whatever it looks like, it won’t be concealed. It will be visible to everyone. We don’t know the exact form it will take, but it will be a number representing the Antichrist’s name. His number is 666 (Revelation 13:18).
Those who refuse the mark of the beast will be shut out of the global economy. They’ll be unable to buy or sell anything without it (Revelation 13:17). Some will even face beheading for their refusal to accept it (Revelation 20:4).
What Happens to Those Who Refuse the Mark?
After the Antichrist enters the Temple and declares himself God (2 Thessalonians 2:4), he’ll require everyone on earth to accept the mark (Revelation 13:16). Accepting the mark will be a pledge of allegiance to the Antichrist. Again, this will either be the number 666 or a name that adds up to 666 (Revelation 13:18).
All who accept the mark will display it on their right hand or their forehead (Revelation 13:16). This will make it easy for society to identify them. Society will blacklist anyone who refuses the mark. Every buy/sell transaction will be linked to it. As a result, those without it will be unable to buy or sell anything (Revelation 13:17). This will put enormous social pressure on people to accept the mark.
Think about it. Imagine if you couldn’t buy or sell anything. How would you get food to survive? How would you get shelter, clothes, and the basic necessities of life? The pressure for most people will be too much to bear. They’ll give in and accept the mark. It’s likely only committed Christians or devoted members of a religion condemning such a practice will refuse the mark. In some cases, the consequences will be worse than economic. Some people will be martyred for their refusal to accept the mark (Revelation 20:4).
Enabling the Mark of the Beast System
While I don’t believe the current COVID vaccines are the actual mark of the beast, vaccine mandates and vaccine passports impose a social system identical to the one imposed by the mark of the beast. How? By blacklisting from society anyone who refuses to accept the vaccine.
How many people have already lost their jobs? How many people are now under threat of losing their jobs? In some places, the unvaccinated aren’t allowed to enter concerts, sporting events, restaurants, or gyms. In some countries, they aren’t even allowed to enter grocery stores.
In pushing vaccine mandates and passports, the world is paving the way for the rise of the Antichrist and the implementation of the mark of the beast. Whether or not you accept a COVID vaccine is a personal choice. Feel free to take it or not take. That’s up to you. I support your choice either way. But if you support coercive vaccine mandates and vaccine passports, you’re complicit in establishing the infrastructure and the precedent for the mark of the beast system.
To be clear – the current COVID vaccines are NOT the mark of the beast. If you’re vaccinated, there’s nothing wrong with that. If you’re unvaccinated, there’s nothing wrong with that either. Whether or not you’re vaccinated or unvaccinated does nothing to establish the mark of the beast system. However, vaccine mandates and vaccine passports do. They create the very foundation for the mark of the beast system.
Every Christian should oppose vaccine mandates and vaccine passports, because supporting them is the same as supporting the mark of the beast system. In practice, they’re one and the same. If you accept the idea the government has the rightful power to inject a substance into someone against their will (or pressure them to submit), then government power has no limit.
Unfortunately, far too many people believe the government does hold this power. And their belief enables the mark of the beast system, creating a world ripe for the rise of the Antichrist.
This is yet another sign of the times in which we live. Israel is back in the land (Jeremiah 23:7-8). The Jewish people are back in Jerusalem (Luke 21:24-28). The Gospel is being preached throughout the world (Matthew 24:14). And now we see the mark of the beast system embraced by much of the world. Jesus said when you see all these events take place, look up, because He’s coming soon (Luke 21:28). So use what little time we have left to spread the Gospel, because Jesus is coming!

Covid Vaccination Tattoos, Biometrics & The Mark Of The Beast

Covid Vaccination Tattoos, Biometrics & The Mark Of The Beast

BY PNW STAFF

What was intended as a grab for attention may have much deeper ramifications after a student in Italy went viral on Tiktok for tattooing the barcode of his covid certificate on his arm.

Twenty-two year old Andrea Colonnetta’s left arm now bears a matrix of black squares from the QR code of his official Italian green pass.
He said he had received both doses of a coronavirus vaccine.
The pass gives proof of coronavirus status — that you are vaccinated, have recovered from the virus, or tested negative in the last 48 hours.
It has been required in Italy since August 6 to get into cinemas, museums and indoor sports venues or to eat indoors at restaurants.The barcode tattoo has apparently become much more than just a novelty as it actually works for scanning. Colonnetta was able to show a video of himself entering a McDonalds after a security guard scanned his tattoo.
Many people are greatly concerned about how the future of covid passports will affect their freedoms and even the technological aspects of how such passports might be enforced in the future. There is already a very large black market for fake covid certificates and some believe the only way to crack down on such forgeries will be biometric enforcement which leads to the necessity of biometric surveillance.
The recent fall of Afghanistan is a lesson in what happens when the bad guys get access to biometric databases.
After years of a push to digitize databases in the country, and introduce digital identity cards and biometrics for voting, activists warn these technologies will now be used by the Taliban to track down people who worked with the previous government or Americans by checking their fingerprints or iris scans against a database.
There are already several reports from Afghanistan that the Taliban have been using biometric readers when going from house to house for security checks.
With access to such data, it will be much more difficult to hide one’s identity as well as that of your family’s identities, and the data can also be used to flesh out your contacts and network,” said Welton Chang, chief technology officer at Human Rights First.
It could also be used “to create a new class structure – job applicants would have their bio-data compared to the database, and jobs could be denied on the basis of having connections to the former government or security forces.

For most Americans the biggest biometric decision they currently have to worry about is how much info to let their fitness watch gather.
However what happens when you are required a mandatory bracelet so an employer or institution can access continuous data about your movement and health due to Covid regulations. Such actions are already being considered by many large corporations.
Many sports teams and schools are already experimenting with wearable technologies that help detect coronavirus in combination with other biometric technologies but wearables have limits. Perhaps a more permanent and universal solution will be necessary to provide enforcement across all specters of society.
Australia is already trialing a smartphone app that will use facial recognition and geolocation to help authorities monitor compliance with the state’s mandatory isolation requirements.
Individuals will be sent random location checks which they will be required to respond to within a 15-minute time frame to prove they are at their registered quarantine address by showing their face alongside current geolocation data.
While it is unlikely that we will all be getting QR code tattoo’s anytime soon, it does show one what is possible. That a digital code or outward “mark” might be given to people as a means of convenience to demonstrate “vaccination compliance” – and that without that “mark” it won’t be possible to conduct certain types of activities and commerce.
If this sounds eerily familiar to what is described in the Book of Revelation you are right. It is important to recognize that vaccination certificates/passports do not meet the requirements of scripture to be the Mark of The Beast, commonly associated with the numbers 666. The mark described in Revelation 13 is more than just receiving a mark that gives one the ability to conduct commerce but it is an act of worship & allegiance to the Antichrist. Without an Antichrist figure in power there can be no “mark of the beast”.
However, what we are seeing is a preconditioning for such types of social compliance and acceptance of technological advancements that could pave the way for what will one day lead to this mark described in Revelation.  Many Bible prophecy scholars warn that we are seeing a foreshadowing of what is to come in the end times and while scripture is silent on any type of worldwide health crisis linkage to the mark of the beast – Revelation also warns that there will be further disease and plagues that could exasperate the issues we are currently seeing.
Imagine if future Covid variants (or other disease types) brought even more death and suffering, resulting in the collapse of the worldwide economy. Now imagine someone coming on the scene who offers a cure/solution to both dealing with Covid and the economic turmoil.
Would many worship this man as if he was God? Would they accept his “mark” if presented as a solution to the crisis that had both political, technological, economic and potential health benefits?
The current health crisis has shown just how desperate people are for normalcy and what they would give up to return to live normal lives. A return to more restrictions this Fall will once again send many on a roller coaster of emotions and make us all more susceptible to “worship” someone who could bring real solutions.
The Bible says that one day the world will worship a man scripture calls the “Antichrist – who essentially is a false Messiah. He is a lion in sheep’s clothing and will offer answers to the worlds problems that will make people love him. However, he is a deceiver. Instead of saving the world, he helps to bring about it’s destruction.
How today’s world events might play into the events Revelation describes remains to be seen. But a great place to start for the average person is to understand what the Book of Revelation says is coming. Without that knowledge you will be caught off guard and not be able to see how the the events of today are leading to the final fulfillment of prophecies predicted by Scripture.
We highly recommend the DVD series on Revelation called “Decoding The Future”. This DVD series may very change the way you understand how these last-days will unfold and explains why these things must inevitably take place.
