It is imperative to pray for the Christian Church in China. The government of President Xi has torn down Christian Churches and now is imprisoning Christian pastors. Western media, especially here in the United States, will not mention this on air, and very few will mention it in print. But the Chinese government is arresting pastors and tearing down Christian Churches, and the word must spread and Christians need to pray.
I realize it is Christmas time, and everyone is busy with that, however, this is very important. Here are some links so you can read about what is happening:
World Magazine has an entire page with information about Early Rain Church and other Churches in China suffering persecution.
More than 60 police stormed a children’s Bible class–can you imagine that? The authorities have closed Rongguili Church in Guangzhou, a church founded by the late Samuel Lamb.
Some of you may recall that Samuel Lamb was a protestant pastor who suffered 20 years imprisonment for his faith.
I have a friend who ministers in China, I cannot mention his name here, but remember this brother as he leads several Churches and provides Bibles and other Christian literature to many Christians in China and other areas.
In 2016 over 90,000 Christians died for their faith, that is one Christian death every six minutes. This is due in part to regime change in countries invaded and bombed by the United States. In Syria, before the current war, Christians were a protected minority, and in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, as evil as he was, Christians flourished and prospered as long as they stayed out of politics. Now Christians are almost nonexistent in Iraq, and ISIS continues to crucify and behead Christians in the part of the country they control. If Assad is deposed in Syria, and regime change occurs there, undoubtedly Christians will face the demonic wrath of ISIS Islam.
This Resurrection Day (Easter), as you worship the risen King, please remember that your brothers and sisters in the faith are suffering horribly. Pray for their strength, and pray that if Trump continues throwing bombs around the world that decent leadership will come to power. Obama caused regime change in Egypt and Christians are suffering horribly, indeed, on Palm Sunday, as Christians worshipped, the Islamic State bombed two churches and 44 more Christians became martyrs for their faith.

Since the early part of the 1990’s, a very dangerous antichrist spirit has been manifesting in Christian Churches around the world. It’s always been here, even before the 90’s, yet it is now growing even stronger, and continues to drag the church down in a never-ending spiral of deception, lies, and apostasy.
But, before I begin let me emphasize that I believe in the charisma–the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Paul outline the gifts, and provided a discussion on their use in 1 Corinthians chapters 12-14. While it is beyond the scope of this article to provide an in-depth analysis of the gifts, suffice it to say that his major point on the use of the gifts is found in the last verse of the 14th chapter:
Let all things be done decently and in order (1 Cor. 14:40).
Even though there is lively worship in the church, and although people may “experience” the presence of the Holy Spirit during that worship, there will always be a decency and an order to things.
It is not edifying to have men, and especially women, laying on the floor as if an earthquake took place–nor is it edifying to hear people moaning, or sardonically laughing, or laughing as if in a fit of hysteria. Nor is it spiritually edifying to hear people barking like dogs and braying like mules, rolling on the floor, shaking as if they are having a spasmodic fit, or jerking and shaking their head as if their neck could snap at any minute. Those kinds of manifestations are not decent, nor in any kind of order; and I can safely say they are not of the Holy Spirit. They either occur because of the flesh, or peer pressure, or, are evidence of something more sinister.
These types of manifestations are indications of another spirit, not the Holy Spirit.
While there are plenty of people who will disagree with me on that point, let me again emphasize that the Bible–written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit says, let all things be done decently and in order. How is it decent and orderly if people cannot hear the Word of God and respond to it because they are distracted and caught up in the circus-like atmosphere with weird and strange manifestations happening all around them?
Here is an example of what I am talking about. Please take the time to watch the following video because it is a perfect illustration of an antichrist spirit spreading deception in the Church. At this point should note, and I say this with all compassion, that I am afraid the young people in this service really do not know, or understand, the difference between an evil spirit, which is spreading deception, and the power of the real Holy Spirit dealing with hearts about sin, righteousness, and judgement to come (Acts 24:25).
Please watch the entire video, it is 5 1/2 minutes in length; and at the beginning you will see Bill Johnson. I think this video was filmed at his Church in Redding California, or, he and Heidi Baker must have been participating together in a Church service elsewhere. Near the end you will see an example of demonic possession happen in a Christian Church caused by the laying on of hands by someone claiming to be a Christian leader.
What you have seen is just a small example of what is passing in the Church these days as the Holy Spirit. Let me say this as strongly as I can–Heidi Baker did not impart the Holy Spirit–when she placed her hands on the blond-headed young man, she transferred a demonic spirit, and that is where her power comes from–to be blunt–she is utilizing a familiar spirit. In the Hebrew language it is referred to as an OB or OWB–it is the same kind of spirit used by the witch of Endor in the Bible (1 Samuel 28: 3-25). In some Eastern religious sects, often called “Kundalini cults,” the guru or spiritual leader does the same thing, with the same results.
It is clear that the young man reacted violently once he was filled with a demonic presence–again, Eastern religions refer to that kind of impartation as the awakening of the Kundalini.
When the young man received the Kundalini his physical body reacted violently because the evil spirit activated the nervous system in the lower part of his spine. I dare say that the spirit that possessed him will be very difficult to expel–not impossible mind you, through the name and the power of Jesus, but very difficult– it will take much prayer and fasting to free him.
That is real demonic possession–it is not the Holy Spirit, it’s a counterfeit, and it will cause demonic possession or oppression in the person who receives it–even to a born-again Christian, if they open themselves up to it.
We are tripartite beings, God created us with a spirit, soul, and a body. A regenerated Christian has the Holy Spirit in his spirit–his spirit has been born-again. But, the body still possesses a sinful nature, and the soul (the mind), is still subject to the desires of the flesh; furthermore, disease and the environment can influence the mind–and this includes influence by a demonic power. We understand why unregenerate people follow after this stuff, they are looking for some kind of spirituality, and now you know why it is also possible for a true Christian to get mixed up in this spiritual mess.
I could name a dozen Christian leaders right now off the top of my head who allow this kind of spirit in their Church because it draws a crowd of undiscerning people, and even some true Christians get caught up in it. This is the same kind of spirit found at the Toronto Church years ago under the name, The Toronto Blessing. It is the same type of spirit found at the Brownsville Revival in Florida years ago, and its the same kind of spirit found in Bill Johnson’s Church in Redding California right now. I am not judging hearts here, I am judging the spiritual fruit of a dangerous ministry–because it is nothing more than deception filled with thorns and thistles:
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit (Matt. 7:15-17).
Remember, not everyone who says Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom. A wolf in sheep’s clothing also uses the name of Jesus and does many wonderful works (miracles). The deception is powerful:
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (Matthew 7:21-23).
That is why I do not allow just anyone to lay hands on me, or my wife and daughter. I must know them, know their relationship with Christ, and observe their life. I realize that sounds hard–but we are in dangerous times! We are living in days of apostasy, and believe me, we must be spiritually discerning–not critical, but discerning.
One last thing regarding the Kundalini in the church. The main reason many people are subject to this kind of spiritual deception is that they always want MORE than what the Bible offers, and they always want something MORE than what true Christianity actually is. Have you heard the call for MORE? We want more–what they really want is more spiritual power that they can FEEL! That is what they actually want; they want to feel and experience their spirituality, and they want to feel Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit. But God wants us to walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Yes, at times we can sense the presence of God, but for the most part the Lord requires us to walk by faith, especially as you get more mature in the faith. You don’t need God to prove Himself with miracles. And yet, thankfully, there are times when He does grant a miracle, and healing, but it is always under HIS CONTROL, not the control of any man, or supposed “faith healer.” But even if God doesn’t grant a miracle He will always provide grace and mercy–and it’s always sufficient for any circumstance (2 Corinthians 12:9).
As time goes by, and we get closer to prophetic fulfillment, the spirit of antichrist will grow more powerful and influence many millions of people, drawing them further away from true faith in Jesus Christ. Always remember that the Antichrist and the False Prophet will use spiritual power to deceive–they will produce real miracles, signs, and wonders–and the world will wonder after the Beast:
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast (Revelation 13:2-3).
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders (2 Thess. 2:9).

Remember to pray for the persecuted Church. Radical Islamists in France attacked a Catholic Church during mass in a suburb of Rouen in northern France and slit the throat of 84-year-old Priest Jacques Hamel. Several others were injured as well, fortunately the police killed the Islamic attackers.
The murder of Christians continues all over the world, and yet, in the end God will avenge His believers:
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled (Revelation 6:9-11).
The Antichrist and the Beast system of Babylon the Great are both important parts of the prophetic picture in the Bible. Get the book, increase your knowledge of Bible prophecy and you won’t be caught off guard by the coming Strong Delusion.

Michael Fighting the Dragon by Albrecht Durer, 1498.
“And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:13-17).
This is an interesting passage of Scripture which provides an overview of the actions of the Serpent once he is cast out of the heavens to the Earth.
Many Bible scholars interpret the woman in this passage as the nation of Israel. This is because the same symbolism is found in Genesis 37:9-11 where the sun and the moon refer to the parents of Joseph, Jacob and Rachel, and the eleven stars refer to the eleven brothers of Joseph.
“And he (Joseph) dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me” (Genesis 37:9).
Furthermore, notice that the woman brings forth a man-child “who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron” (Rev.12:5). This is a parallel passage to chapter 19, which details the actual return of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who came from Israel through Mary; and when He returns He will smite the nations in judgment and “rule them with a rod of iron” (Rev. 19:15).
Once the Serpent, who is if course the fallen Cherub Satan, is cast out of the heavens to the Earth, he begins a campaign of persecution against the people of God, the remnant of Israel.
John, the writer of Revelation uses the imagery of a flood, which comes from the mouth of the Serpent. While it is difficult to tell whether this is an actual flood of water sent against the nation, or just the imagery of persecution, it appears from the text that something will happen and the earth itself will open up to “swallow’ the flood of persecution. This action provokes the anger of the Serpent and he goes forth to continue his persecution of the remaining remnant of the seed of the woman.
While Christians are not Israel, Christians are of the seed, which is Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:3: Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh…”
Romans 9:8: That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Galatians 3:16: Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Galatians 3:29: And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
The gospel saves both Jews and Gentiles without discrimination (Romans 1:16). All that God is looking for is faith in the finished work of Christ–the cross, for forgiveness of sin. He “died for our sins” (1 Cor. 15: 3), “and was raised again (from the dead) for our justification” (Romans 4:25).
With all that said, when the Serpent saw that the woman was saved from his initial flood of evil and persecution, he set his sights on the next target: Bible believing Christians.
“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:17).
Please understand, and do not take lightly where the Scriptures say that the Serpent “went to make war” with the saints. The Antichrist will also “make war” with the saints as well.
“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them…” (Rev. 13:7a).
This is the power of the spirit of antichrist. It is now in the world (1 John 2:18), and once prophecy begins to play the spirit of antichrist will go forth with all the power of Satan; and it will break loose against the nation of Israel, Bible Christians, and ultimately the rest of the world.
I am afraid that many Christians do not understand these prophecies regarding persecution, especially Christians in the United States. Most are taught that they will be “raptured out of here” before these things take place; and most of them are woefully unprepared for persecution.
The book of Revelation is filled with examples of Christians dying for their faith during the Great Tribulation. As you can see, according to the book of Revelation they are still in the world and will suffer extreme persecution during this time from the hands of the Serpent and the Antichrist:
Rev. 6:9: And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.
Rev. 7: 9,13-14: After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands…. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Rev. 14:12-13: Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
Rev.12:11: And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Rev.13:7: And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev.17:6: And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Daniel 7:21: I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them…
Rev.20: 4: And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
If this were to happen today are you ready for the flood of evil persecution that will come from the mouth of the Serpent once he is cast from the heavens? If not, place your faith in Jesus Christ–He died for you, and arose from the dead so that you could be forgiven and cleansed from sin. Don’t delay, now is the day of salvation.

The Pilgrim of the Cross at the End of His Journey by Thomas Cole, 1841.
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 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?
Matthew 24:1-3
When the apostles asked Jesus for signs of the end times, and specifically His return to our planet at the end of the age, He pointed out many things that must come to pass.
Rampant deception (this includes natural human deception and supernatural deception administered through false prophets and false christs. Also, the supernatural deception of Satan and the Fallen Hosts and the UFO and alien illusion).
Wars and rumors of war between ethnic groups and nations.
Increase of famine and horrible diseases in many different places on the planet (plagues).
Interestingly, Jesus said these things are “the beginning of sorrows (Matt. 24: 8). Of course we have always had war and disease, these are the dogs which have plagued humanity sin the fall.
But I believe what Jesus meant is that we will see a severe increase of all these things at once. At this point I think of Paris, France. Muslims following the ideology of death, which is Radical Islam, particularly the brand espoused by ISIS, attacked the city of Paris from multiple fronts causing the death of 129 people and wounding 352 others. That is nation rising against nation, driven to act by sin, and powerful, deceptive, fallen angels and demons.
The word nation is the Greek word ethnos, which refers to “a multitude of individuals of the same nature or genus” (Thayer). Islam of course is a religious ideology held by people of many different tribes, or people groups. But the one thing that binds many of them together these days, especially the more radical of the groups, is a fixation on domination and death to “infidels” or “unbelievers.” We see this everyday in the Middle East as Christians and others are brutally tortured, mutilated, and murdered.
That is ethnos against ethnos driven by religious ideology. In the end all of this will lead to national and international wars until the entire world is aflame with war–which leads to famine and pestilence.
As Jesus continued He said, “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake” (Matt.24:9). We see the fulfillment of this as Radical Islam crucifies and beheads Christians day in and day out in Syria, Iraq, and in other places around the world, even in the United States, where a Radical Muslim terrorist beheaded a woman in Oklahoma.
Because of the rapid increase of wickedness and iniquity many people will be offended and love will grow cold.
But there is still one sign Jesus said is greater than all of these put together.
Matthew 24:15:
“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand).”
While we will see the rapid increase of false prophets and false christs, war, and pestilence, etc., the Abomination of Desolation is the only sign that Jesus said when you see it, run for your life, flee to the mountains.
When you see the Abomination of Desolation don’t even think of anything else except run. Don’t pack your clothes, just grab your children and flee. And, as Jesus said, hope that when it happens it’s not winter, because your going to flee to the wilderness.
Have you given that aspect of Bible prophecy any thought? I realize that most Christians believe they will be raptured out of here before all this takes place, but I am not one of them. I came to understand, after I studied the issue in the Bible, that there will be no secret Pre-Tribulation rapture. Oh, there will be a rapture, but not till the end of the Great Tribulation (Matt. 24:29-31). (Please don’t send me hate mail about the rapture, regarding how wrong I am, I get weary of it).
This is why Jesus warned the church about deception. Because those who believe they will be rescued by a secret rapture will not be ready to face the onslaught of evil that will come during the Great Tribulation.
The Abomination of Desolation is the one sign that will definitely indicate the start of the Great Tribulation. Because the next verse says “For then shall be Great Tribulation…”
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Matthew 24:21
Indeed, the Great Tribulation will be so severe that unless it’s cut short “there should no flesh be saved.” But for the sake of Christians the Lord will return and cut it short.
These are the biblical signs of the End Times. I am concerned that in popular Christian culture we get so caught up in the wrong signs and date setting. That’s not good, and it can damage the faith of so many people when “popular” prophecy signs don’t pan out.
The Abomination of Desolation is the one key sign that will indicate the beginning of the Great Tribulation.
It is a clear sign, and will not be easy to mistake. It’s a religious sign, and is deeply related to the alien issue. In my next post, part three, I will discuss the Abomination of Desolation and its relation to UFOs and aliens, and the Antichrist Beast of Revelation chapter 13.
Until then, pray for the families that lost love ones in Paris, France. Pray also that our leaders will name the evil for what it is, and go after it. I find it absolutely appalling that President Obama and his administration will not use the words Radical Islam, or terrorists, when talking about events such as the massacre in Paris the other night.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (Ephesians 6:12-13).
As I have stated on more than one occasion, the spiritual war is about to radically change. When that change does take place, life will never be the same for our weary planet. Everyone on Earth will be affected by the strange supernatural aspects of UFO and alien disclosure.
While many people are hoping and even praying for aliens to come down to Earth and save us, many people just want to know the truth about it all.
The hard truth is that real aliens do not exist. There is a reality to the phenomenon, too many credible people have seen UFOs, and too many people have been forever changed because of the traumatic effects of alien contact, or worse, abduction.
The understated truth about aliens is that they are “spiritual” in nature. In other words, they are inter-dimensional beings, and from our standpoint, in the natural universe, they appear nebulous. In fact, the phenomena can morph into anything: one minute it can be a nuts-and-bolts craft (of any configuration), or it can manifest as light, perhaps one of the orb type UFOs that are more often seen these days.
Dr. David Jacobs is an astute researcher and writer about the alien abduction phenomena. I have his book, The Threat, and it is an interesting read. He recently released a new book called, Walking Among Us: The Alien Plan to Control Humanity. Now, I haven’t read the new book, although I will as soon as I have time. But, from what I read about the book, it reveals that aliens are supposedly already living among us. That information is gleaned from his hypnotic interviews of a number of abductees.
While that is interesting, and I certainly respect the work of Dr. Jacobs, I don’t believe that he fully understands the spiritual nature of the phenomenon. I do not believe that there are alien/human hybrids currently living among us, and for a very good reason: The alien abduction phenomena is spiritual in nature, and thus can lend itself to a high level of deception. The abductees may be very sincere, but deception occurs on many levels, and most people do not believe they have been deceived, nor do they fully understand the nature of satanic deception.
We are not dealing with something of a normal earthly nature; alien abduction is something that happens on a deep spiritual level in the human mind. It affects human consciousness in such a way, that the abduction experience becomes just as real as everyday reality. In other words, it can become impossible to tell the difference between normal, everyday reality, and the spiritual construct of alien abduction. Although the deception occurs in the mind, nevertheless, it does affect the natural environment: bruising and scaring may occur on the human body, and UFOs may leave evidence of their visit such as tracks on the ground, broken tree limbs, burnt areas, etc.
The Fallen Ones do have an agenda: and that is to deceive humanity to accept the lie that they are the creators and benefactors of mankind. In this way, they will cause the human religious paradigm, whatever that may be personally, to collapse. This will be replaced with a new reality; which is that aliens are real, eternal, supernatural beings, who love humanity, and with the best of intentions, desire that humans experience their birthright, as offspring of the gods (that certainly will feed the human ego!).
What is that birthright? I am of the opinion that they will begin a program to genetically alter humans to fully eradicate the image of God from the human genome. This will all be portrayed as a way, not only to enhance the human experience, but to provide a platform or method, bringing humanity up to the next level of physical and spiritual evolutionary development. The biblical prophet Daniel foretold this: and “they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men” (Daniel 2:43).
The deception is not coming, it is already here, and in full operation.
Millions of people long for alien contact. Most of them are just intrigued by the possibility that contact with a race of super-advanced extraterrestrials will help humanity, and enhance the human condition. Unfortunately, it will lead billions of lost souls into the waiting arms of the Dragon. It will create a temporary evolutionary leap, but that leap will be over a spiritual cliff, into the never-ending nightmarish eternity of hell.
The Image and Mark of the Beast will be used to lead mankind into the deceptive false hope of a nonexistent godhood. It is THE LIE.
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
There is only one way to escape the power of the coming deception: Jesus Christ died for your sins. He was buried, and three days later He conquered the grave, rising from the dead. That is the gospel, and that is where true hope if found.
1 John 5:4-5: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. Old and meditative king Solomon by Isaac Asknaziy.
As we studied in the last article, later in life King Solomon became a type of the Antichrist Beast. He is one of the signs in the Bible that point to the identity of the Antichrist. Once we study all of the relevant information then we will have enough facts to “cast a vote” to decide the case before us, Antichrist vs. God, and the People of Earth.
Lucifer, by Alessandro Vellutello (1534), for Dante’s Inferno, canto 34
As the Bible reveals, Solomon departed from Yahweh, the God of heaven, and began to follow the occult gnosis or hidden knowledge of the god of this world. Paul called Satan the theos or god of this world (2 Cor.4:4); the English world is the Greek word aiōn or age–which refers to the current period of time until the redemption of all things and Christ returns.
Jesus called Satan the prince or archon of this world (John 12:31). The Greek archon refers to his present position as the chief ruler of the evil world system or kosmos, during the present aion or age.
The kosmos in turn refers to the ungodly world system we are surrounded by; concerning the lost mass of humanity it refers to “the ungodly multitude; the whole mass of men alienated from God, and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ.” (Thayer-Strong’s G2889 – kosmos); concerning the things of this world it refers to ” the whole circle of earthly goods, endowments riches, advantages, pleasures, etc., which although hollow and frail and fleeting, stir desire, seduce from God and are obstacles to the cause of Christ” (Thayer, Ibid). Considering all of this John rightly states that “the whole world lieth in wickedness” (1 John 5:19). What that means is that the whole world “lies in the power of the evil one, i.e., is held in subjection by the devil” (Thayer).
Both Solomon and the Antichrist Beast are followers of the same corrupted leader, the Archon or Chief Ruler of the kosmos or world system. Satan corrupted both kings; he used Solomon to work evil on Earth among Israel and the surrounding nations; thus extending a corrupting influence to many other lands; and in the future Satan will use the Antichrist Beast to corrupt and destroy the great majority of mankind during the Tribulation.
A Comparison of King Solomon And the Antichrist, Apollyon, the Beast from the Abyss: Revelation 9:11
King Solomon, associated with the number 666
Antichrist Beast: Apollyon the Destroyer, associated with the number 666
Abandoned God to follow the ruling Archon
Abandoned God to follow the ruling Archon
Sought occult knowledge from alien gods (fallen angels, demons)
Sought occult knowledge from alien god (Satan)
Sacrificed human children for occult power
Will sacrifice humans (Christians, Jews, and resistors) for occult power
Blasphemed God of heaven through his actions
Will blaspheme God of heaven through his words and deeds
Destroyed his nation through idol worship, immorality, and child sacrifice
Will destroy the world through devil worship; the cult of the Dragon and the Beast, which includes human sacrifice
What did Solomon get in exchange for this? All in all it spoiled and corrupted the nation of Israel. This later resulted in the division of the nation; Judah in the South, and Israel in the north. Is it without doubt that Solomon was mightily deceived, but was he deceived by these demon gods because they visually appeared to him as God has done earlier in his life? Is it possible that Moloch appeared as a visual manifestation in much the same way that alien beings appear to people today?
Concerning idol worship Paul wrote:
“What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils” (1 Cor.10:19-21).
Because Solomon was directly involved with the worship of fallen beings he may have had a visitation. After all, these are the same beings who now appear to people as aliens.
Think about this: the aliens that many people are longing to meet have been here in the past–they are the ancient gods of blood and sacrifice, Moloch, and all of the other incarnations. Now they pretend to be aliens!
The Bible reveals the true identity of the Antichrist; its been hidden in plain sight in YOUR copy of the Bible. Significantly, John the Revelator exposed the identity of the Antichrist within the text of the book of Revelation three times so that Christians in the future will not be deceived. I believe John intended that we would use the number 666; and that we would search the biblical text for the meaning of the number, further exposing the identity of the Beast. All of the information in these articles will help you to know how to apply the number 666 to the biblical text of both Testaments; these biblical types found in the text will reveal the meaning behind the number.
Who is the Antichrist? John revealed his identity three times:
Rev. 11:7: And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Rev.17:8: The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Revelation 9:11 places a name on the Beast:
And they had a king over them, which isthe angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
It is significant that the name of the Beast is Destroyer. Just as Jesus came to save his people from their sin (Matt.1:21), so the beast will destroy his people through sin, as the man of sin (2 Thess. 2:3); he is the son of perdition, which means destruction.
Another King, Nebuchadnezzar, set up an image on the plain of Dura:
“Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height wasthreescore cubits (60), and the breadth thereof six cubits (6): he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon…That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer (6 instruments), and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up” (Daniel 3:1, 5).
Here in Daniel chapter 3 is another revelation of the number of the Beast, 666. The image is 60 cubits high, and six cubits wide. The dimensions of the image provide us with 2-6’s. Count the number of musical instruments in verse five and it reveals the third 6, for the signpost of Antichrist, 666.
Why is the number 666 tied in with this verse? As I explained in an earlier article called, Creation of the Image of the Beast, the number 666 points to the Antichrist Beast and the image that will be created in the mind of the beast followers during the Tribulation. This image will cause the beast followers to worship the Beast through the mental image. This is just another confirmation that Apollyon is the Beast who will arise from the abyss to assume his position as the end-time Antichrist.
In my next post I will continue exploring the biblical connection to Apollyon the Beast from the abyss, and the number of his name 666, with his ancient progeny, the Nephilim.

In this video I talk about my purpose for writing the book Alien Antichrist, and how the Great Tribulation will be characterized by an unprecedented outpouring of supernatural evil all across the world.
Those who desire to follow Christ as a true biblical disciple will find that the world will not appreciate your efforts, no not in the least. I think of the recent Christian martyrs in the Middle East and elsewhere. It seems that the spirit of antichrist is gaining more power and influence to destroy the witness of Christ.
Some of those martyred may not belong to the same church group that I do, but nonetheless, if they had faith in Christ, His sacrifice on the cross for their sin, and faith in the power of His resurrection, then they are just as much a Christian as I am.
Now, that does not mean that I subscribe to the ecumenism of the Roman church, other mainline denominations, or any denomination for that matter. The religious systems that most of them espouse these days are mostly anti-biblical, but that does not diminish the plain and simple faith of those who have discovered true saving faith in the power of the gospel apart from religious acts and rituals of the flesh .
To be clear, I believe in the simplicity of the Christian faith. Jesus never meant that to be saved from the power of sin required great devotion to a church system, eating a communion wafer, climbing a 1,000 steps on ones bloody knees to kiss the feet of a crumbling, decaying statue of a long dead saint, or other works including baptism. Baptism itself does not save, nor does it turn a sinner into a saint. At that point all you have is a wet sinner with a false sense of salvation.
The Bible is clear that to be saved from sin requires only faith in the gospel which is this: Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures…(1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
That is the gospel of Christ, and salvation begins with simple faith that Christ obtained that salvation when He was on the cross–He took the wrath of God that I deserved. Jesus is our sin-bearer, He became that sin before God the Father and the Father poured out His wrath in so much power that Jesus lost the sense of His Fathers presence.
My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? Matthew 27:46
What more could I add to that? Truthfully, there is nothing I can add and that is why religious systems and works of the flesh will never produce salvation; because those things are an attempt to work around the simplicity of the gospel. If works could produce eternal salvation then Christ would not have faced the cross. At that point the cross would be a worthless act. But the cross is far from worthless–it is actually the power of salvation:
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (Romans 1:16).
So we are back to the simplicity of the cross. The gospel of Christ is the power of salvation. Not works, not baptism, not the cup of wine or the communion wafer, or the blessing of a preacher or a priest–the GOSPEL and ONLY THE GOSPEL.
“For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Not of works lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Faith and only faith in the gospel produces the power of God leading to the salvation of a sinner–“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17).
Paul said that the word of faith for salvation is in your heart and in your mouth–“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach” (Romans 10:8).
And that faith, that simple faith, is able to produce salvation because it believes the simple gospel message:
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:9-10, 13).
Coptic Egyptian Christians moments before they are beheaded by ISIS militants in Libya.
When I saw the video a few months ago of the Egyptian Coptic Christians being beheaded for their faith in Christ by ISIS several of the men said, “Yeah, Lord Jesus Christ.” Think of that for a moment–“Yeah, Lord Jesus Christ.”FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED! Its that simple, yet it is also that profound.
Why I have I called this post Embracing the Beast? Its simple. The world and the world system that lies in the lap of the evil one refuses to bow the knee to the only one who can save from the power of sin. Instead they embrace the philosophy and religion of the Beast, which is a Dragon, that Serpent of old, the Devil, who refused the God of heaven and in turn he became a Beast.
The world system hates the simplicity of the gospel of Christ, and so those who choose the Beast act like the Beast, who was a murderer from the beginning.
God sent John the Baptist as a prophet, the last of the Old Covenant prophets, and he was beheaded by a beast named Herod (Mark 6:16).
Herod is just a prophetic picture of the Beast, and the Beast system called Babylon the Great. At the end of days a Beast will rise from the depths of the abyss and bring ruin and destruction to humanity. But before that there is one thing this Beast will do: He will compel his followers to join the Beast system and receive an image in their mind, and a mark on their flesh (Revelation 13: 15-17).
Those who follow the Beast will be branded in their soul, and in their flesh, just like common cattle; and they will become beasts. In that way, those who follow the Beast will fully embrace their godless master: and become marked beasts themselves.
What of those who simply believe the saving gospel of Christ? They will not embrace the Beast and so they will be beheaded–just like the Coptic Christians who simply by faith called upon the name of the Lord–“Yeah, Lord Jesus Christ.”
Revelation 20:4:
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Will you by faith believe the simple gospel of Christ, or will you embrace the system of the Beast?
Choose life, choose Christ. But be warned: those who refuse the Beast system will face the fires of persecution. Once the Holy Spirit releases His restraining power this world system will degenerate into Babylon the Great. And the Beast system will begin the work of its evil master, who is the epitome of what it means to be a Beast.
Embrace Jesus Christ and by faith believe the gospel. Yes, true Christians will suffer persecution, but for those who are saved a glorious future is waiting, because “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him”(1 Corinthians 2:9).
The Antichrist Beast and the Beast system of Babylon the Great is part of Bible prophecy, it will happen. Get the book, increase your knowledge of Bible prophecy and you will not be caught off guard like a thief in the night. You may get the book at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and at other fine bookstores as a print on demand title. And, if you have Kindle Unlimited or Kindle Prime you may download a copy free for a limited time!

There are many signs of the end of days in the Bible. Jesus and the prophets and apostles gave numerous signs that we can see today revealing the truth that we are indeed living near the time of the return of Christ. Wars and rumors of war, pestilence and disease, economic chaos, earthquakes, strange weather, signs in the heavens, etc.
But have you ever considered the sign of the offense of Christian persecution?
Jesus told us that Christian persecution will increase in the last days, and as we have seen over the past year, it seems that in the Muslim world it is open season on Christians. Jesus said because of persecution many in the church will be offended; in other words, because of persecution many Christians may fall away because the sight of persecution has placed a stumbling block or impediment in their way, and the sight of persecution causes them to stumble in their faith. To quote Thayer’s comments regarding the word offend (Greek skandalizō), he says, that it means “to cause a person to begin to distrust or desert one whom he ought to trust and obey; to cause to fall away.”
Jesus said, “These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me” (John 16:1-3).
Could worldwide persecution cause millions of 21st century Christians to become offended at Christ and abandon the faith?
What if the time came for the persecutors to put you out of your church because you believe the Bible, and you hold to Christ alone by faith? Would you be offended at Christ because of that?
Paul told us that “all that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Tim. 3:12), and Jesus said, “and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake, and then shall many be offended, and shall betray on another, and shall hate one another” (Matt. 24: 9-10). Jesus also added, “the servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you” (John 15:20).
And we all know how the spirit of antichrist persecuted Jesus.
Jesus said, “for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended”(Matthew 13:21).
Right before Jesus was crucified he said that His death would be an offense–to His followers.
Then saith Jesus unto them, “All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice” (Matt. 26:31-34).
Don’t allow the offense of Christian persecution to cast a stumbling block in your heart. It is easy to walk away from Christian persecution in the United States because we have so many other things to occupy our minds with. We don’t have to pay any attention to it–and a great part of the church in America does ignore Christian persecution overseas–BECAUSE THEY ARE OFFENDED BY IT.
But never forget: those who are dying right now are martyrs for the faith of Jesus. They are in the line of fire by a powerful manifestation of the spirit of antichrist. And it is not going to end anytime soon. As a matter of fact it will probably get much worse before the return of Jesus.
Revelation 6: 9-11: And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Revelation 12:11: And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Revelation 13:7: And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Daniel 7:21: I beheld, and the same horn (Little Horn–the Antichrist) made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Revelation 17:6: And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus…
Revelation 20:4: And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Please don’t ever be offended by Christian persecution. Pray for Christians to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and pray for grace and strength for their moment of trial. This life is so fleeting when compared to eternity and the Glories of life in the New Jerusalem where God Himself will wipe away every tear shed by His persecuted saints.
Revelation 21: 4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
