A WORLD GONE MAD

Have you heard of Yuval Harari? This Psychopath already has enormous influence at the World Economic Forum.  “Having raised humanity above the beastly level of survival struggles,” Harari predicts, “we will now aim to upgrade humans into gods, and turn Homo sapiens into Homo deus.”

Harari’s crudely reductionistic account of modern science—banishes even the suggestion that a transcendent God could exist, or that man could have an eternal future with that God. He writes off the freedom of the will as an outdated illusion—is captured by his repeated mantra, “organisms are algorithms.” Modern science has confirmed with Nietzsche that God is dead. The universe is devoid of meaning or purpose for Harari. We are all merely the superficial expressions of complex mathematical equations being performed by our biochemistries. 

Listen to this video and you will be amazed at how quickly we are moving towards the Biblical prophesied one-world government and the Mark of the Beast. Next is Mystery Babylon followed by the Antichrist and re-engineered human life.

Make sure you are in a Christian community that understands the times we are in, and is in step with what God is doing in their area of influence.

CREATING INTENTIONAL CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES AND INSTITUTIONS

Joseph Backholm is joined by Josh Abbotoy for a conversation exploring Christians’ need to establish communities and institutions amidst cultural shifts in society. Emphasizing the importance of Christians engaging in civic leadership and building legacies, Josh explains his vision of creating an intentional community centered around principles that promote family, freedom, and faith. He stresses that these communities are not just for Christians, but for all who desire to live in an environment that aligns with all their personal values. This may be an important way forward to prepare for the coming persecution when the Antichrist introduces the Mark of the Beast.

Ep. 75: Josh Abbotoy on Creating Intentional Christian Communities and Institutions

FROM NIMROD TO THE ANTICHRIST, SATAN’S LAST WORLD LEADER

The coming Antichrist’s One World Government will be put down by Jesus on His return at the battle of Armageddon, Jesus then initiates His One World Government. The nation God established for His purposes, Israel, will fulfill its destiny with its Messiah, Jesus, ruling the nations of the world.

It is amazing how the Bible reveals that mankind has not changed and down through the ages God’s arch enemy, Satan has raised up his rulers to deceive mankind and destroy God’s agenda which centers around the nation, Israel, The nation that God established for His purposes. In my lifetime the most horrific leader that Satan raised up was Adolf Hitler. He initiated the destruction of six million Jews, many were shot but mainly they were killed in gas chambers. At the height of deportations in 1943–44, an average of 6,000 Jews were gassed each day at Auschwitz.

You will learn from this video that Satan’s first world leader after the flood was Nimrod who built the Tower of Babel and we know how God put down that rebellion. The only true history of this world is given in the Bible, the nations that exist today arose from the descendants of Noah.

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM 2024 AGENDA, PART 4

I have already covered 1. The Pagan Ritual established the Satanic authority that WEF is operating under. 2. The precursor to the Mark of the Beast – a Digital ID and 3. Global Taxes that will fund WEF’s agenda and now Part 4: Efforts to “Force” Social Media Companies to Yield to Government Censorship.

WEF attendees are not like other people. WEF’s panel on “Protecting Democracy against Bots and Plots” complained that social media titans faced “scrutiny” and sought ways to “force” companies to comply with free speech restrictions.

4. Global Media

Social media platforms that are “still keeping up the work” to censor, ban, or suppress disfavored views “are facing more political scrutiny and pressure to disband those efforts than ever,” groused Alexandra Reeve Givens, the daughter of actor Christopher Reeve and CEO of the Google-aligned Center for Democracy and Technology. “In the United States, for example, right now we have congressional investigations and lawsuits against people who study mis- and disinformation on social media platforms. There is currently an injunction in place stopping the Biden administration from communicating with social media platforms.” The fact that an American judge would prevent a Democratic administration from breaking the law creates a “bizarre environment” that undermines “trust and safety for our online environment,” said Reeve. “We have to have the social media companies keep up the work.”

“Is there a way to force them?” asked moderator Ravi Agrawal, editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy magazine.

This is no passing concern for WEF. It listed misinformation and disinformation as the greatest threat to America, a point driven home on WEF 2024’s opening day by the president of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. An unexpected note of concern came Friday from Alex Soros, the scion of George Soros who now leads the Hungarian-born billionaire’s tax-exempt political influence operation. “If we play too much on this disinformation card, we’re taking responsibility away from ourselves to actually create a narrative that inspires people to vote,” said Soros, speaking in a rapid staccato of stops and starts punctuated by verbalized pauses.

Already, unelected bureaucrats have substantially leaned on social media platforms to silence stories they dislike in the name of COVID-19 “disinformation” or fighting “Russian interference” in U.S. elections. “We learned Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation requests from every corner of government, from the FBI, the DHS, the HHS, DOD, the Global Engagement Center at State, even the CIA,” liberal journalist Matt Taibbi revealed. “For every government agency scanning Twitter, there were perhaps 20 quasi-private entities doing the same thing, including Stanford’s Election Integrity Partnership, NewsGuard, the Global Disinformation Index, and many others — many taxpayer-funded.”

Likewise, Michael Shellenberger testified before Congress last December that, as “DHS-empowered researchers were asking social media platforms to take down, throttle, or otherwise censor social media posts, the president of the United States was accusing Big Tech of ‘killing people,’ his then-press secretary said publicly that the administration was ‘flagging violative posts for Facebook,’ members of Congress threatened to strip social media platforms of their legal right to operate because, they said, the platforms weren’t censoring enough.”

When they start talking about misinformation and disinformation, that’s just code; that’s just Orwellian speak for ending free speech. And their primary target is to go after X or Twitter.

WEF, which calls itself “the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation,” seems happy to have government censorship formally carried out by the “private sector.” Such censorship aims to constrict political debate, stifle dissent, and prevent average American citizens from having any meaningful voice in their own government — or even complain about it online.

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM 2024 AGENDA, PART 3

I have already covered 1. The Pagan Ritual established the Satanic authority that WEF is operating under. 2. The precursor to the Mark of the Beast – a Digital ID and now we come to 3. Global Taxes that will fund WEF’s agenda.

3. Global Taxes

True global governance requires money and authority — and the WEF discussed measures that would expand both at our expense. One speaker at the 2024 World Economic Forum advised that global bodies impose, not one, but two global taxes on the entire world. “Let’s start taxing carbon,” advised Amnesty International Secretary General Agnès Callamard at Friday’s WEF panel on “global risks.” She added that governments should enact “not just [a] carbon tax. The U.N. General Assembly has adopted a resolution … on the necessity to have a global tax regime, so that actually we can raise the money required for all [the U.N.’s proposed] changes. … Let’s tax the corporate interests.”

The Biden administration took the first step toward such a tax in 2021, when it supported a “Global Minimum Tax.” The Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) agreed to an outline of a 15% tax, which would allow foreign nations to tax U.S.-based corporations. According to the OECD’s latest update, 55 nations have begun adopting the putatively voluntary guidelines, “with the rules coming into effect in 2024.”

President Joe Biden has also taken advice from carbon tax advocates. The Obama-Biden administration’s science czar, John Holdren — who wrote a book outlining an Orwellian global regime, including forced abortions for Americans with discredited climate alarmist Paul Ehrlich — “worked closely with the Biden campaign,” according to The New York Times. In 2007, Holdren proposed “a global framework” to impose “a substantial price on carbon emissions in all countries,” preferably via a “carbon tax.” This global tax would conclude with U.N.-strength IRS confiscating and “transferring some of the revenue produced by carbon taxes” away from the West. Such taxes fall hardest on the poor and make reliable energy less accessible. In office, Joe Biden has ordered all federal agencies to write regulations assessing the “social cost of carbon.” Presumably, the global ID would make it more difficult to avoid paying a global tax. It is obvious that beginning with Obama the Democrats were open to transferring power to a global elite of which Obama would take a leading role.

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM 2024 AGENDA, PART 2

I have already covered the fact that WEF concluded its Wednesday forum on “Climate and Nature” by inviting a shaman to carry out a pagan ritual for the healing of the planet, because “the healing is spiritual.” This established who is really controlling the outcome of this conference and it is certainly not the Holy Spirit.

The most important item on WEF’s meeting agenda: A Digital ID to Track each person’s Whole Life

One of the elitists’ central conceits is that they have the right to surveil every aspect of their subjects’ lives, for their own good. One invaluable tool in the effort is a mandatory identification card that puts as much information as possible at the government’s fingerprints — as noted during WEF’s Thursday panel on “financial inclusion.” Queen Máxima of the Netherlands (whose grandfather, Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld, co-founded the Bilderberg Group in 1954) urged governments to adopt a “ubiquitous” ID card that is “digital” and “biometric.” Such an ID can not only provide surveillance over the financial industry, she said: “It’s also good for school enrollment,” and to see “who actually got a vaccination,” as well as facilitating the redistribution of wealth to see that welfare recipients and other favored classes “get your subsidies from the government.”

The WEF has discussed digital IDs and apps for years. In 2022, Alibaba Group President J. Michael Evans announced that he was developing new technology “for consumers to measure their own carbon footprint.” This device would monitor “where are they traveling, how are they traveling, what are they eating, what are they consuming on the platform.” Of course, if the individual can measure his or her carbon footprint, so can the government — which can then microtarget and micromanage individuals’ lives. “We don’t have it operational yet,” Evans said two years ago, “but this is something that we’re working on.”

For his part, former President Donald Trump vowed this month he’d “never allow the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency,” or CBDC. “Such a currency would give the federal government absolute control of your money,” a proposition he called a tool of “government tyranny” and “a dangerous threat to freedom.” (He credited his position, which he adopted the day after the Iowa Caucus, to Vivek Ramaswamy.) This is one of the reasons the elite will make sure Trump does not win the next election.

What we see unfolding now fits with what the Apostle John describes in Revelation: the ruler of a vast empire having power and great authority, given to him by Satan himself (Revelation 13:2). This ruler receives worship from “all the world” (Revelation 13:3–4) and will have authority over “every tribe, people, language and nation” (Revelation 13:7). This person will truly be the leader of a one-world government that is recognized as sovereign over all other governments.

IS THERE STILL A GLIMMER OF HOPE FOR THE USA?

Sadly, we know the end of the story for this era before Jesus returns. Satan, Antichrist, and demons are in power, particularly for the last three and a half years when tribulation will be intense for believers and Jews. In my opinion, we are fast approaching the last Biblical prophesied seven years of Daniel’s 70th-week prophecy. Hence, the answer to the question is no, America as a nation is and will continue to be under God’s judgement. It is no longer the United States and there will be some states like Louisiana that will uphold God’s values but they are in the minority. Note Landry won with a slim majority 52%.

Conservative Jeff Landry was Inaugurated as Louisiana’s 57th Governor – a stalwart conservative Christian dedicated to faith, family, and freedom. On Sunday, Jan. 7th, 2024 former Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry (R) was sworn in as the state’s 57th governor, succeeding Democrat John Bel Edwards. Landry was elected governor in an October primary election, winning with 52% of the vote and averting a runoff election.

Family Research Council President and former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives Tony Perkins delivered an inaugural prayer for Landry Sunday night, praying,

Father, we break with the ways of the past, where we leaned on governmental schemes and political power; today, we declare we look to You and the power of your Holy Spirit!”

He prayed for Landry and all of Louisiana’s elected officials, saying,

Above all, we pray that the words and deeds of our leaders would glorify you so that your blessing upon our state will be so bountiful it will be undeniable to the rest of the nation.”

Speaking on “Washington Watch” Monday night, Perkins explained that when he first moved to Louisiana as a young man, “We didn’t have any Republicans to speak of.” Even when elected to the Louisiana state legislature, Perkins noted that there was only one statewide Republican in office and Republicans “were in the extreme minority in the legislature.” Now, he said, Republicans hold “supermajorities” in both chambers of the legislature. “Every statewide elected official is Republican,” he declared. “But it’s not just Republican. It’s about policy initiatives. It’s about ideology. It’s about commitment.”

As Louisiana’s attorney general, Landry fought hard for pro-life and pro-family values. He supported the state’s 2022 abortion ban, and urged Louisianians to “simply respect the legislature and Louisiana’s constitution,” adding, “And if you don’t like Louisiana’s laws or Louisiana’s constitution, you can go to another state.” He opposed the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates, calling the requirements an “unconstitutional and immoral attack” on Americans.

In 2018, Landry teamed up with now-speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) to support Christian prayer in public schools, following lawsuits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State alleging that school districts were “teaching” Christianity. The attorney general has also been a vociferous opponent of the LGBT agenda, including encouraging the state legislature to override the governor’s veto of a bill banning transgender surgeries for minors.

Landry announced his gubernatorial campaign in 2022 and was endorsed by the Republican Party of Louisiana, former President Donald TrumpMike Johnson, U.S. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.), and others. In Louisiana, all candidates for governor appear on the ballot, regardless of party affiliation; if no candidate receives a majority of the vote, a runoff election is triggered between the top two contenders. Landry won handily with 52% of the vote, with Democrat Shawn Wilson placing second with about 26%. In his victory speech, Landry declared, “Today’s election says that our state is united.” He continued, “It’s a wake-up call and it’s a message that everyone should hear loud and clear, that we the people in this state are going to expect more out of our government from here on out.”

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson attended Landry’s inauguration on Sunday, saying in a press release, “Governor Landry has been a longtime friend and champion for the people of Louisiana, and he will serve our state with dignity and a steadfast commitment as he tackles the many challenges we face.” He added that he hopes to work with Landry to “restore” Louisiana “as the best place to work, live, and start a family.”

Perkins said that Christian conservative values are core to the new governor, saying, “If you believe it, say it. And if it’s really who you are, you should not, quite frankly, you can’t hold it back. And this is who Jeff is. He spoke it. He was unafraid of it.” The FRC president also noted that mainstream media is not giving much focus to the first governor inaugurated in 2024. “It does not fit the national media’s narrative, it’s not what the Left is telling us America is, it is the total opposite,” he said. “But there’s hope that if all of us will vote, will stand, will pray, we’re going to see these same results across the nation in 2024.” We need to pray but based on Biblical end times prophecy the USA as a nation will not turn back to God.

WHY HAMAS AND HEZBOLLAH ATTACKED ISRAEL IN SUCH A RADICAL WAY KILLING CIVILIANS INCLUDING WOMEN, CHILDREN, AND BABIES?

This CBN News article gives us details about Muslims’ long-awaited Mahdi. Both Shia (Iran) and Sunni (majority of Muslims) believe in a coming Messiah – al Mahdi. He is the antithesis of our Messiah, Jesus, and a best-fit candidate for the Antichrist.

“The horrific Hamas attack on Israel was the first phase of a long-term plan by Iran to wipe out the Jewish State. Iranian leaders believe Israel must be eliminated before the return of an Islamic “messiah-like” figure known as the Mahdi. For years, Iran has been indoctrinating its fighters in the belief that there must be an apocalyptic war that destroys both Israel and Jews around the world to usher in the Mahdi’s return. Islamic expert Raymond Ibrahim says, “The Mahdi basically means ‘guided one,’. ‘ He takes on different guises, depending on which sect of Islam you ask, Sunni or Shia.” Islamic writings say his name is Mohammed Ibn Abdillah. Sunnis, the majority of the world’s Muslims, believe the Mahdi has not yet been born. Shia Islam, which Iran dominates, teaches that the Mahdi is already alive, and has been hiding for over a thousand years. Brother Rachid, a former Muslim who hosts a Christian program for Muslims called “Daring Questions,” says, “Shia Muslims, especially the ‘Twelver Shia’ believe he is the 12th Imam, and that he was born around 868. He’s still alive today. His age is 1,155. So, he’s still living somewhere and one day he will show himself.”

Muslims in Iran believe the Mahdi is hiding in a well in the small village of Jamkaran. Pilgrims peer down the well with flashlights, leave prayer requests for the Mahdi, and hope he will reappear. Muslims believe that when the Mahdi returns, he will be accompanied by Jesus, who is referred to in Islam as the Prophet Isa, to rid the world of evil.  Iranian leaders have seized upon belief in the final battle before the Mahdi’s return to motivate its military and allies to fight harder to destroy Israel.  Ibrahim says, “A lot of the Islamic schools or jihadists are being indoctrinated by Iranian propaganda into Mahdism. It always centres around Israel and attacking and destroying Israel.” Some believe in the next phase of its plan to wipe out Israel, Iran might initiate a multi-front attack through its heavily armed proxy armies in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. Ibrahim and Brother Rachid say the doctrine of the Mahdi’s return means that any attempts by Israel to make peace with the Muslim world will ultimately prove futile. “Israel is a threat to Muslims, to the coming of the Mahdi,” says Brother Rachid. “So, they have to be eliminated. There is no other solution. You cannot do peace with Israel.” Ibrahim says.” Source: CBN News

Further proof for Muslim Antichrist is in Daniel 8 where Daniel sees a vision of a battle between a Goat (Turkey) and a Ram (Iran). Turkey (previous Ottoman Empire) will not allow Iran (Shia) to usurp its position of dominance over Muslims. It aspires to re-establish its Ottoman Empire. We are told it will be successful for a short period but then is to be broken up into four nations probably by the United Nations who would not allow another Ottoman Empire to dominate Europe.

Then the goat (Revived Ottoman Empire) became exceedingly great, but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.Daniel 8:8

Biblical prophecy reveals that a little horn (Antichrist) arises from out of one of these four Muslim nations.

Out of one of them came a little horn (Antichrist), which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the glorious land. It grew great, even to the host of heaven.Daniel 8:9

As for the horn that was broken (Revived Ottoman Empire), in place of which four others arose, four kingdoms shall arise from his nation, but not with his power. And at the latter end of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their limit, a king of bold face (Antichrist), one who understands riddles, shall arise. His power shall be great—but not by his own power, and he shall cause fearful destruction and shall succeed in what he does, and destroy mighty men and the people who are the saints. By his cunning, he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind, he shall become great. Without warning, he shall destroy many. And he shall even rise up against the Prince of princes, and he shall be broken—but by no human hand.Daniel 8: 22-25

WHAT IS COMING IN 2024

Thank goodness God told us in His Word, the BIBLE that before Jesus returns to this Earth the world would cast God out of its life. Increasingly, clinging to Christian values will bring persecution and even death as Jesus in the following Scripture reveals.

Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.Matthew 24:9-13

The video below produced in the Lion of the Tribe of Judah Studio presents four trends from end-times Biblical prophecies that we need to watch out for in 2024.

  1. Rise in global unity and governance leading to a one-world government and ultimately to the Kingdom of the Antichrist. “And the beast (Antichrist) was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. Also, it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.Revelation 13:5-8
  2. Technological advances have produced digital currencies, microchips, and even the ability to alter DNA, paving the way for global commerce and the Mark of the Beast. “Also it (Antichrist) 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.Revelation 13:16-17
  3. Apostasy – a great falling away from faith in Jesus and the inerrancy of God’s Word, the Bible. The church conforms to the world and its standards: gay marriage, homosexual pastors, and acceptance of transgenderism.
  4. Moral decay: lawlessness, global rebellion against God and His commandments. “But understand this, that in the last days, there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.2 Timothy 3:1-5

SATAN AND HIS DEMONS ARE COMING TO EARTH

What happens when Satan is on the earth? Will he be physical – will we see him? Will he and the Antichrist become one? How can Christians prepare for those perilous times? Note what Scripture says, “Woe to you O earth and sea, for Satan has come down to you in great wrath“.

Watch this Nelson Walters video with Dr. Brock Hollet as they discuss what happens in this incredible time. Dr Brockett is the author of Debunking Preterism. He is a physician and psychiatrist as well as a Professor of Biblical Studies and Science at Southeastern University, Florida. Preterism is a belief that all of the prophecies that I would take as end times have been fulfilled around 70 AD.

And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God... Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!”” Revelation 12:9-10,12
