The Head and The Be-header

concerning the antichrist and his false prophet
Matthew 24 : 4, 5 and 11 "Take heed that no man deceive you"

"We all like the thought of approaching some oracle that will make up our minds for us, painlessly, tell us what to do without our having to think"
Well, that is an illusion. But so is ploughing on regardless, head down, oblivious to what is ahead ----Peter Sain ley Berry
http://euobserver.com/9/25045/?rk=1

"The Bible says that the most powerful weapon in the antichrist's arsenal is deception. Through deception, he seizes control of the global power base. He deceives Israel into a false peace covenant.
He deceives the world into worshipping him as a god. Ultimately, he deceives them right into a battle with the forces of Jesus Christ Himself at the Battle of Armageddon.


"And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world? "

"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive YOU." (Matthew 24:3-4)

Jack Kinsella 42:14 News Digest

THE 2 BEASTS
"Beast" has the connotation of being arbitrary ( unreasonable ) and it also connotes one without a conscience. Beasts have no conscience, and predator-beasts have no mercy.

The 2 Beasts mentioned in the Last Days are the anti-Christ and the False Prophet.
These two political men are described for us in
Revelation Chapter 13.

The First Beast : The Antichrist Psuedo-Christ ; False Messiah
Characteristics www.raptureme.com/resource/ac46.html
"The Antichrist feigns the fulfillment of prophecies concerning Jesus in the Bible, yet he opposes the redemptive theology of the Lamb Jesus ( forgiveness of sin through the shed blood of Jesus). And antichrist opposes Jesus' followers, since we Bible-believing Christians witness to the fact that there is no other Name given under heaven whereby we must be saved.
And that Name is Jesus, the second Person of the Trinity."

First, we will look at the references to the anti-Christ found in
Rev. 13:1-10.
We notice that:

*he comes up out of the sea" (of chaos ..... economic turmoil, war, ?)
Quote on this subject :
" Here are two chief characteristics of tyrants.
The first is they come to power during times of chaos and anarchy. When the traditions and rules that hold together the invisible framework of social stability collapse, the tyrant seized his moment. We humans so yearn for predictability in our lives that even if it is offered by someone odious and suspect, we will often embrace it. Freedom run amok can be far more frightening to ordinary folks trying to raise their families and feed them than the cartoon figure with the moustache who insists on total power in order to restore our lives to the normality of our nostalgia."

" The second characteristic of tyrants is they dominate the epoch within their cultures. They demand and obtain a worship of personality. Statues, parades and rallies are only symbolic of the total authority they exercise over their people."
Rabbi Daniel Lapin
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=36187 --- December 17, 2003

*he has 7 heads ( he is the leader over the G -7 wealthy industrialized democratic nations;

*he has 10 horns ( he is leader over 10 countries…
......like the EU, when restructured)
*there are 10 crowns (10 Prime Ministers) over each of the 10 countries; each nation keeps its leader. The EU never becomes a single entity, but always remains fragmented into 10 pieces. The Bible says that "they recieve one hour with the beast, but receive no kingdom" Rev. 17:12

1. The anti-Christ beast is described as a leopard, meaning:
comes up swiftly; also meaning over the
Arab nations. (also over the third world)

2. He has feet as the feet of a bear, meaning:
powerful; and also he has the
Soviet bloc under toe (Russia and the CIS States, affiliates)

3. He has the mouth of a lion, meaning:
forceful; and from a
Western Democratic, English-speaking nation. He is over the West.

4. "And the dragon (Satan) gave him his power (occultic, demonic)
and his seat (
world wide governance)
and great
authority ( unprecedented political, economic-commercial power ).

Satan is able to give the Beast world governance for Satan is the "god of this world"

2 Corinthians. 4:4
"All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: [kingdoms of this world]
for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will, I give it.
If thou therefore wilt worship me [
obey] , all shall be thine" Luke 4:6,7

He SITS in the Temple as God... 2 Thessalonians 2 :4

What seat does the dragon give him ? The answer is given in the following verse:
"Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped;
so that he as God
sitteth in the temple of God showing himself that he is God." 2 Thess. 2:4

Could it be that when the man of sin sits on the newly recovered
"mercy seat" (Ark of the covenant)
showing himself as God (
2 Thessalonians 2:4) that at the same time as that blasphemy is committed, Satan will enter into him, having been just cast out of the second-heaven to earth ? (Revelation 12:9....Luke 10:18)

"Now you know what witholdeth, that he
(the man of sin ) might be revealed in his time."
2 Thess. 2:6
Please see all of
2 Thessalonians 2

Ark of the Covenant ..... Mercy Seat

Satan has always wanted to be like the Most High.
Isaiah 14:14.
The one thing Satan can never imitate or counterfeit of God is God's MERCY. Satan has NO MERCY. Therefore he covets the glory derived from Mercy. Satan covets sitting upon the Mercy Seat since it was the place of God's glory.

Today the re-discovered mercy seat is but a hollow form of the true reality.
"they shall say no more,"The ark of the covenant of the LORD:neither shall it come to mind, neither shall they remember it, neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done anymore"
JEREMIAH 3:16

All relics are idolatrous for they get our eyes off of Jesus and unto objects....like today's Ark of the Covenant (mercy seat)
or even the Shroud of Turin
.

www.bible.org/docs/pastor/seasonal/easter/shroud.htm
www.execulink.com/~wblank/shroud.htm
"Little children, keep yourselves from idols."
1 John 5:21

Perhaps Satan will enter into the man of sin just as the Scriptures told of Satan entering into Judas
(John 13:27) on the night he betrayed our Lord.
Both of these two men then share the distinction of being called
"the son of perdition" for that very fact.....
they surrendered their all to the evil one and betrayed our Lord.
John 17:12 and 2 Thess. 2:3

Global Powers

Now as we said earlier Satan, the dragon, gives all power to his man, the antichrist.

We see then that the South, North and West of the globe are under the anti-Christ.
Why aren't the far East nations mentioned here ? (China, India, Indonesia etc.)
Please see:
Eurasian Alliance http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=15218
Strategic Triangle http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=16882

The Far East will be allied Commercially, (trade agreements) but will never really be allied politically, we believe.
Because the East is allied commercially, they too will have to receive the 666 mark of the beast for world trade (buying and selling, importing and exporting).
That alone puts them under the dominion of the antichrist. They will have to abide by his rules of trade.

ECONOMIC WOUND

"And I saw one of his heads (1 of the economic G7 heads )
AS it were wounded unto death; and his deadly wound was healed……
It appears then that one of the G-7 democracies undergoes one of the following:
1. a computer problem impacting their stock market (Japan?)
2. a NYSE market crash impacting all financial markets?
3. a devaluation of the dollar ? a switch to the Euro?
4. Trade deficits so large that it necessitates switching over to a
new system of eliminating 3rd world debts...the "Jubilee 2000" scheme, endorsed by global religion.

Eventually all financial problems will be dealt with by switching over to a "cashless system"....dealing with virtual "units", rather than firm figures.
(manipulative)
This economic crash is only temporary. It is remedied quickly, for it says :
"and all the world wondered after the beast".

Now if one country is fixed, yet the whole world admires this fix , then the "fix" must be impacted globally. This could possibly mean a change over in our economic system to a cashless society. It could also mean a time of great prosperity for everyone.
That could be the economic wound and the quick healing.

3 Different Wounds to take place :

Actually, "wound" is mentioned 3 times in
Rev. 13……
1. Economic wound [ 1 of the G-7 heads]….then quickly healed
Rev. 13:3
2. Political wound…
Rev.13:12….major political comeback….healed (Rev. 17:11)
3. Physical wound [ a feigned death, not real]
Rev. 13:14 "and did live".

Though antichrist is physically wounded, he feigns death and "resurrection" in order to mock and equate the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. This act is aimed at demolishing Faith in the cornerstone of Christianity:
the Atoning death and Resurrection of Yeshua Jesus.

The Beast seeks to "fulfill", by mock imitation, all the Messianic Scriptures, including the wounding for our transgressions. What audacity. What a usurper. What blasphemy .

The Beast kingdom here on earth can not promise Eternal Life like Jesus can, so they pretend that we can live eternally through "clones"
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.02/projectx.html

Military Superiority

"And they worshipped the dragon (Satan)", and the beast
who (along with the False Prophet) have far superior military powers than all the other nations . Since there are many nations with conventional, biological-chemical warfare, and even nuclear warfare, the difference here is not in weaponry, but rather in satellite technology….Theater-war fought from the skies…
star-wars.
Western surveillance and technology gives the beast the advantage he needs. ( Iridium, Echelon, GPS, Milstar, Navstar, Galileo)….

Will the Antichrist have the lead role over NATO forces ?
Will the False Prophet have the lead role over the
UN multinational forces ?
Then, together they will control the armies of the world.

Will the " two horns as a lamb " represent the leader over a major country ...... plus leadership over the
UN multinational forces ?

"who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"

HOLOGRAMS in our Living Rooms ???? ( please see Hologram section at www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/ch2p3.html

Al Gore, Prince Charles almost-Holograms -- Dec. 27, 2007 "ghosting"
[ Prince] Charles recorded the message at Highgrove last month. It will be transformed into a hologram-style image using technology based on a Victorian music-hall technique called "ghosting".
A video projector will beam an image of the Prince on to the floor.
It is then reflected up on to a paper-thin sheet of foil to create an optical illusion that makes him appear as a 3-D image on stage.
Former US Vice-President Al Gore used similar technology to appear as a hologram at Wembley Stadium at the beginning of the Live Earth concerts earlier this year

The Prince wore a light-coloured suit to film the speech - if he had worn dark clothes, only his head would be visible.
He will be seen standing, making gestures and moving around the stage.
The video is not a true hologram as you cannot see different parts of the image by moving around.

Biblical Identification

The antichrist beast reigns for 42 months ( 3 and a half years).
This period of time is known as "The Great Tribulation",
Matthew 24:21
or
The Time of Jacob's Trouble
Jeremiah 30:7

The beast has not the love of women..."nor the desire of women". ( Daniel 11:37)
All women in society will be regarded the same as men. Same work, no benefits from marital status.
Already the EU is trying to have a unisex society. This greatly tears down respect for women, though the EU claims this will keep them from stereotyping. The final results will be devastating.
Note how it is already be applied to insurance premiums:

EU legislates on stereotyping of sexes, outside of the workplace-- June 24, 2003
http://www.euobserver.com/index.phtml?aid=11839
also at Financial Times:
The draft, seen by the Financial Times, would cover education, welfare benefits and even areas of national tax policy.
Perhaps the biggest effect would be on the insurance industry where gender is often used to calculate risk. Under the proposal, women could end up paying more for car insurance but less for health insurance. Retirement annuities, which are paid on a higher annual rate for men because of their shorter life expectancy, would be equalised.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0805063897/102-6840261-2718555

The beast, anti-Christ, is totally blasphemous and
without conscience. He has no fear of God, nor man. He desecrates God's holy name and titles. He usurps those titles unto himself. He mocks God flagrantly and sacrilegiously. He blasphemes the dwelling place of God . He character- assassinates Believers who have passed on to heaven (whether by death or rapture.)

No opposition can withstand him. And even though the saints who are here on earth oppose him, they are worn out during his reign of terror:

"It was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to
overcome them".
Rev. 13:7
"and the same horn made war with the saints, and
prevailed against them"
Dan. 7:21
"And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall
wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws
." Dan. 7:25

God's Greater Superiority ..... "in the midst"

Does this mean that God cannot help us in these Last Days? No. God can deliver anyone, anywhere, anytime---and under any circumstance.
"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day and for ever."
Hebrews 13:8
Deliverance in those days will be the
million miracles that happen in behalf of our welfare while in the midst of tribulation. And the greatest miracle of all will be the grace to endure and eventually to face martyrdom boldly and gladly. Those are the greatest miracles of all.
Hebrews 13:8 www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/sparo.html
www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/JJ.html

Those who have been raptured are delivered OUT, because of their emphatic, demonstrative, professed Faith. [
like Elijah... 2 Kings 2] Those who held back until choices had to be made, will be delivered THROUGH….even through death. Isaiah 43:2
God delivers no matter what ! In, out, up, down, through and inside-out; Yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever, our God delivers. He delivered the Jews
IN the Holocaust ovens
Daniel 3.
"When thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee". Isaiah 43:2 .One either believes that or not. We believe it !

He has promised never to leave us nor forsake us !
(
Hebrews13:5) "so that we may boldly say….
"
the Lord is my Helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me"
Hebrews 13:6.
We can go through death unscathed, crossing over beforehand.
You either believe that or you don't. We believe that ! See:
BE NOT AFRAID

"The worst that man can do to us, is to put us into the Presence of God"
What about torture ? "Where sin abounds, grace does more abound." Romans 5:20

God never allows us to be tried beyond what we can endure:
1 Corinthians 10:13 ; Isaiah 28:27-29 ; Psalm 18:25, 26; 1 Peter 4:12,13; Isaiah 41:10 + 14;
Isaiah 43:1-3 ; Hebrews 2:18
( "tempted" and "tried" have the same meaning)

All Sufficient Grace

Unrepentant sinners die. Repentant Believers
never die,
"believest thou this?"John 11:25, 26
Believers cross-over at the time of their earthly parting; they do not die as non-believers do. Again, you either believe this or you don't.
Even though Death cannot touch us, suffering can.
"yea and all those that live Godly shall suffer persecution"
2 Timothy 3:12

The primary meaning of "suffer" is to "endure". In other words,
abiding grace comes alongside of the persecution, enabling us to endure, or suffer. We are not standing on our own grit. We are undergirded by the mighty graces of God.
And He is more than able to walk us through.
A perfect love casts out fear, and also greatly reduces suffering.

"My grace is sufficient"
2 Corinthians 12:9
We are to "fear none of those things which thou SHALT suffer" (undergo)
Rev. 2:10; 3:10 "which shall come upon all the world". Rev. 3:10

The Antichrist Beast requires an imbedded chip

for allegiance and for all financial transactions

**He has power over all nations. Even though the Far East is only resigned to his power, the East is under his sway. China, for financial reasons only, co-operates with the System in order to be in the World Trade Organization (WTO). She is compliant in business and economic concerns, but it ends there. Her cessation will be evident at Armageddon.

**Worship (focus and compliance) will be given to this first Beast world-wide.
Will we be asked to endorse his movements ?

Those who refuse will be martyred (beheaded,
Rev. 20:4 ) These martyrs are already written into the Lamb-Jesus' Book of Life. They are redeemed,
and NO ONE CAN PLUCK THEM OUT OF HIS HAND [
John 10:28, 29]
No one can make them give their allegiance to anyone else but King-Jesus, no one, as long as they
keep themselves in the love and obedience of God. Romans 8:38, 39].
The
666 mark is REQUIRED for ALL. www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/ch1p1.html

People will either willingly take it, or else not take it at all, giving up their life. (starvation and martyrdom). One will not be able to interact with society, if one decides not to take the imbedded chip. It is required of ALL, for all. Yet all will not take it.

"Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather
fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell" ....
spoken by Jesus ---Matthew 10:28

This time of Great Tribulation will be unlike any other time in history
Daniel 12:1 Mark 13:19
"And ye shall be hated of
all men for My name's sake"
Matt. 10:22; Mark13:13;Luke 21:17
Many good and righteous people will be imprisoned, captured and relocated, parted from loved ones, sent into work camps and slavery etc.…all of this is referred to in the word "captivity".

Rev. 13:10
and "prison" Rev. 2:10

Notice the segregated work camps (male, female) in Luke 17: 34-36

Many will be slain for opposing the system or the establishment.
"Here is the patience and the faith of the saints"
Rev. 13:10b "
Ye shall be hated of all men for My Name's sake
(for being a Christian…politically-incorrect)
but he that endures to the end (of his life) shall be saved"
Matt. 10:22".

If you surrender your life here, you get it all there, a hundredfold…. becoming God's son and inheriting all things.
Rev. 21:7
It's worth it. Otherwise the only alternative is an eternity in a real hell of unending torment forever. Think it through.
If you're wise, hang in there to the end. Jesus is well worth the wait---
whatever it is that we must go through to get to Him.
That, in sum, is what
Rev. 13: 1-10 says about the beast anti-Christ.

DANIEL 7, 8, 9, and 11

More about the antichrist can be found in
Daniel 7: 7-28.

"And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws".....Daniel 7:25

Changing Times: BCE / CE instead of BC and AD
COMMON ERA:Proposed centuries ago as a solution to the AD/BC system's lack of a year zero, the common-era system has more recently been embraced as a politically correct alternative to a dating system based on the life of Jesus - even though "common era" has often been used as a synonym of Christian.
In marking calendar years, the terms CE and BCE are often used in place of AD and BC. The trend is common in academic texts, especially in anthropology, where it is the accepted style
http://www.nationalpost.com/search/site/story.asp?id=CB9B0D3E-ACFA-4C09-8D99-301B4ECA6BAC

The beast here is described as being ferociously powerful, yet easily disposed of by Jesus Christ at Armageddon, at the end of the 3 1/2 years of the Great tribulation (
Daniel 7:11).

Not only will our Lord conquer the Beast, but the saints also will personally return in victory [ Jude 14,15; Dan. 7:18 and 27; Rev. 19:14] When this is accomplished, History will have cleansed itself of the deception.... that man can rule apart from God.

Daniel 8 tells us that the antichrist Beast will extend his rule far and wide, and will even cast down nations already under powers and principalities of the host of heaven.(nations under certain demons)
Daniel 8:10. His audacity in the spirit-realm even tries to impress the prince of that host,
Satan himself (since antichrist is so successful in destroying any appearance of God upon earth.)

Demonic forces will be given over exclusively to the antichrist to cast down TRUTH. Can anything stand in the way, once truth is gone? No.
His lies will work. They will prosper. They will bear fruit. The ears of the people will long to hear those lies.

Antichrist will destroy "wonderfully"
Dan. 8:24. He shall cause craft (cleverness, as well as witchcraft) to prosper. Please see "Witchcraft" www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/craft.html

By peace he shall destroy many. He will actually seek to destroy Jesus Christ at His return to earth,
Dan. 8:25. This is truly outlandish. "yet he shall be broken without hand". Jesus won't even have to lift a finger.

SHIELDING PLANET EARTH FROM ITS CREATOR

NMD....Nuclear-Missile-Defence..."Star Wars"

In the movie "Deep Impact", space-scientists were frantically trying to make a "killer-interceptor" that would destroy any exoatmoshperic objects (meteors, comets, asteroids).
And Vandenburg AirForce Base outside the L.A. Basin just this weekend
(October 2, 1999) sucessfully deployed a "killer interceptor" missile (star wars type...SDI) over the Marshall Islands.
While meteors and missiles are the so-called object of these interceptors, is not the real (though unreasonable) object the thwarting of the return of Jesus Christ to planet earth? Think that's far-out?? Well go back to the movie"Deep Impact",
and notice that the name of the inteceptor is "Messiah".

ABOMINABLE ARMY THAT DESOLATES


In
Daniel Chapter 9:27 we are told that antichrist makes a covenant with Israel that is to her disadvantage for the remaining 3 1/2 years. We are also told that antiChrist makes Jerusalem desolate, meaning without an inhabitant.
Since Jesus says in
Matthew 24 that the abomination of desolation, appearing in Jerusalem, initiates the last 3 1/2 years, then we can deduce that antichrist will bring into the city a military force that will exterminate every "foe" found in her walls. Unless of course they have escaped by the mighty hand of God, who will provide for them for 3 1/2 years (Rev. 12:14). They will only know to do this if they are reading the New Testament. "Flee"
Matthew. 24:16-18. See also Daniel 12:1b.See Elusive Dove"

Dan. 11:20--45 goes on to relate the political ploys, intrigues, lies and flatteries of the antichrist beast . Yet even at this time, "the people that do know their God will be strong and do (spiritual) exploits" Dan. 11:32.
Eventually, even these people will be captured and killed (martyred)
"yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity and by spoil (deprivations, confiscation of property and possessions) many days."

Dan. 11:33


The utter depravity and blasphemy of the beast is described in
Dan. 11:36-37. The only god he worships is himself and his might…. "the god of forces".
"And a god whom his father knew not (satellite-laser-warfare…star wars) shall he honor…."Thus shall he do in the most strong holds (computer war-rooms, bunkers ) with a strange god (demonic
technology).
"Yet he shall come to his end and none shall help him"
Dan. 11:45.
He will die unaided, unwept, and unsung. What a horrible end.
This is confirmed in
Revelation 19:20.

Daniel 11:38 ...worshipping Technology
"and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with
gold and silver, and with precious stones (ruby lasers etc.), and pleasant things

Nanotechnology : gold and silver
Designing new materials with otherwise unattainable properties, sometimes referred to as "metamaterials," is one of the promises of nanotechnology. Two-dimensional patterns had previously been created from gold nanoparticles of different sizes and mixtures of gold and silver. Extending this concept to three dimensions with more diverse types of materials demonstrates the ability to bring more materials together than previously realized

Space vehicles
The 494-kilo (1,000-pound) spacecraft used hexagonal wafers of silicon, gold, sapphire and diamond to capture 10 to 20 micrograms of the invisible bits of solar wind. The samples were the first returned to Earth from outside the moon's orbit, and the first samples of any kind returned to Earth since the final Apollo mission to the moon in 1972.

TIMING

Many people wonder if the Church will be here to see antichrist (AC) arise. We will see him arise as the man of sin sitting in the temple as God (
2 Thessalonians 2:1--12) but we will most likely be gone by the time he becomes the antichrist world ruler.
That is what Paul relates in 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2.

In this passage Paul tells us that we can not go in the Rapture until we witness the Apostasy or "Falling Away" within the Church;
and that we will see the "man of sin"sit in the temple showing (demonstrating) himself to be God.
(Will he be sitting on a newly found Ark of the Covenant Lid, thereby manifesting blasphemy?)
Will this be in the Holy of Holies site beneath the Temple...the secret chamber??...
When it comes to pass, we are to "believe it not"
Matthew 24:26 ....meaning there is no relevance any more to the Ark of the Covenant (Jeremiah 3:16)

At this time Paul tells us that the antichrist Beast will oppose something. Most likely it will be three things in particular:
1. He will oppose
God.... The Triune-Indivisible (3 in 1) God:
Father , Son and Holy Ghost.
He will especially disqualify Jesus as Messiah and replace himself in that role.

2. He will oppose
Israel, for he now breaks his covenant with them
(
Dan. 9:27).....

3. And he most likely will oppose
nuclear-militarism, in his role as "Prince of Peace"
( 'Tzar of Peace'= 666 in Hebrew ?)
Yet on his last day on planet earth, it will be AC himself who detonates world-wide conflagration.....he is a living-oxymoron.

Many Jewish people believe in a political messiah, anyone who can give them peace at any price. So, many will hail this man. However, many will not. They know the real Messiah, from the usurper.
Perhaps there will be someone who retaliates against this blasphemy of sitting on the Ark (the mercy seat) and wounds the AC. Or else a "lying wonder" may take place wherein the AC appears to be wounded unto death...
.Rev. 13:14 "sword" means "weapon".
Of this death scenario we are to believe it not. This lying wonder has a grand finale---an apparent coming back to life again....... "believe it not".
We have been told of this event beforehand. We are to watch for it, know that it is a hoax, and "believe it not".Please see
"I'm No Fool" ...."Lying With Pixels"
(digital-deception).


The anti-Christian society will say that the concept of Resurrection then, is merely one's personal belief...not necessarily fact, since Christians choose not to believe this AC lying wonder. But our hearts know truth from lies.
Hebrews 8:11

DIGITIZATION

We also are quite aware of the "special effects" age we live in....how ployful our age is. Images today, whether on TV, Internet or photos, are highly manipulative...can be easily altered and changed due to digitization.
"Digit-imagery" is the ultimate in "divide and conquer"...the old Roman bromide. Divide an image on TV, Internet or any picture into pixels....manipulate the pixels by size color, addition, subtration or magnification and the altered image passes for real. The ultimate in deception! We can no longer trust our eyes to visual imagery.

One takes an image, slices it infinitesimally into "dots"......then replaces any dots so desired, until the image becomes a lying wonder...a LIE...not the true image at all. We must not believe everything we see in electronics. (TV, Internet, photos, holograms etc.) or even what we hear (digitized audio)


Anything from the past can be retrieved, digitized and revisioned, or resounded. We can no longer trust the media. Perhaps this is what our Lord meant when He said that when He comes back, will He find faith (trust) on the earth?(Luke 18)

FRAUD

We are aware of the intense hatred Satan and the AC have against Jesus Christ and his bodily resurrection. (ArchBishop Carey denying Jesus' Resurrection by casting doubt)
We are not surprised then that they try to imitate a resurrection so readily.

Holy Ghost-led hearts are wiser than the System and their digital-appearances and special effects.
But this is the age of deception and God tells us that He will turn non-believers over to a delusion, for not having loved the truth.
Many will fall for this charade:
"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness (sin)"
2 Thess. 2:12

The truth that
new agers (w.jeremiahproject.com/prophecy/newage01.html) deny is that
Jesus as God came to earth, lived as a man, proclaimed the gospel of forgiveness of sins through His shed Blood, died a substitutionary death on Calvary and rose alive again 3 days later, and lives forever more.
He is the fulfillment of FirstFruits (Bikkurim) at the exact timing given in
Daniel Ch. 9:26. "cut off".
There is no excuse not to believe in Jesus Christ and all that pertains to Him.
Please see Annie's page documenting the Scriptural Messianic prophecies that Jesus fulfilled in His lifetime
www.annieshomepage.com/fulfillment.html
And there is every reason to deny the false ploys of the politically advantageous. (usurpers)

STRONG DELUSION--- 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11
Both the AC and the FP will try to undermine the resurrection of Jesus Christ and His singular promise of everlasting life by endorsing scientific manipulations ...."lying wonders"
"Methuselah" telomerase -- longer life, youth restored ?
But scientists from Geron Corporation and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas showed in the lab that by adding the enzyme telomerase to human cells, they could make them into little Eveready Bunnies. They just kept on dividing and dividing
Later they stunned the scientific community when they showed that telomerase restored the youth of aging human skin tissue that had been attached to the backs of mice. Consider that as you celebrate your 100th birthday you could have skin that's as clear and smooth as the proverbial "baby's behind" -- without the diaper rash.

While some of the above information is valid .... and while it is true that one's life-span will greatly increase during the LORD's millennium, it is also true that facts can be falsified in this age of  "special effects" and dis-information. Manipulation has an end.
God's ways are infinite, and beyond our understanding.

BLOOD SPORTS --- Huge Adrenalin Rush

"To some, MMA is a dangerous, brutal and often bloody street fight. It is banned in many U.S. states and several provinces, including Ontario
But to supporters it is a human chess match between two trained athletes: man-to-man competition at its finest with roots in the ancient Olympics. [ Ed: or Roman Coliseum ]
"It's just a huge adrenalin rush," says Guelph's Dave Merkley, an MMA [ Mixed Martial Arts ] fan who made the six-hour drive to Columbus for the last Ultimate Fighting Championship card. Not only was it sold out on fight night, there were also 5,000 people in the stands the night before to watch the competitors weigh in
.

The cable television reality show Ultimate Fighter provided a huge boost in popularity.
Today: Just over 19,000 fans attended the last big fight card in Ohio. Pay-per-view buys now rival or surpass those of major boxing cards. It's also popular in Japan and an upcoming UFC card will be held in England.
