THE COMING FLOOD OF EVIL FROM THE MOUTH OF THE DRAGON by Jeff Wingo

April 4, 2016

Michael Fighting the Dragon by Albrecht Durer, 1498.

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 GOOD SHEPHERD VS THE IDOL SHEPHERD by Jeff Wingo

September 20, 2015

“Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened” (Zechariah 11:17).

The Good Shepherd by James Tissot, Brooklyn Museum, 1894.

The Good Shepherd by James Tissot, Brooklyn Museum, 1894.

One of the titles of Jesus is the Good Shepherd (John 10:11). As the Good Shepherd He saves and protects His flock from the Idol Shepherd, who is clearly a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Many theologians over the centuries have attributed the above verse from Zechariah to the final end-time Antichrist, the great enemy of both God and man.

It speaks of the coming judgment on the Antichrist Beast. Jesus said, “I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive” (John 5: 43).

The Idol Shepherd will come in his own name, and his name is Destroyer (Rev.9:11). This is in contrast to Jesus, whose name means “Jehovah is salvation.” The Idol Shepherd “comes to kill, steal, and destroy” (John 10:10); this is in contrast to Jesus who comes to  “save His people from their sins” (Matt.1:21). Jesus gave his life for the sheep, and the Idol Shepherd will take life from the earth.

Jesus is the True Vine (John 15:1), and the Idol Shepherd is the Vine of the Earth (Rev.14:19). Those who worship the Good Shepherd do so in spirit and in truth, but those who worship the Idol Shepherd worship the Lie, in the spirit of Strong Delusion. In fact, the Idol Shepherd will demand the worship of the world. Instead of the Son of Man, the world will embrace the Man of Sin. Instead of the Son of God, the world will accept the Son of Perdition.

The world has turned its back on the Light of the World, and instead embraced darkness. John said, “light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (John 3:19).

So, in keeping with the spirit of the world, which is the spirit of antichrist, the world system has chosen the Idol Shepherd over the Good Shepherd. Instead of the gospel of Christ, the world has embraced the gospel of Antichrist. Instead of Christ, the world will clamor for Antichrist. Instead of the True Prophet, the world will demand the False Prophet. Instead of the True Gospel (1 Cor.15:1-4), the world will embrace Another Gospel, the gospel of the Serpent (Genesis 3:4-5; ye shall be as gods).

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed” (Galatians 1:6-8).

The Good Shepherd is from Heaven, the Idol Shepherd is the Beast from the abyss. He will be received by the world with open arms, will institute another gospel and system of worship (the image and mark of the Beast), and bring to humanity another spirit: the full manifestation of the spirit of antichrist.

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 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, shewing himself that he is God” (2 Thess. 2:3-4).

 

While I do believe it is entirely possible the Antichrist will walk into a rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem, could it also be that he will walk into the individual hearts of billions of people by the power of the spirit of antichrist once the restraint of the Holy Spirit is removed? The human heart is also called the Temple of God in the New Testament.

  • Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are (1 Cor.3:16-17).
  • What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own (1 Cor. 6: 19)?

The Idol Shepherd is called “Idol” for a reason: He will become the idol in the sanctuary of the human heart. Billions will receive him by the power of the spirit of antichrist in much the same way that people today receive the real Jesus Christ through the new birth, and the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit!

Don’t wait for the Strong Delusion to overtake you: open your heart today to the real Jesus Christ, the true Good Shepherd!

JESUS WARNED US ABOUT THE COMING STRONG DELUSION by Jeff Wingo

August 30, 2015

All of you are acutely aware that our world is in grave turmoil. The troubles seem as if they are insurmountable, and they keep coming as they pile one on top of another. As time goes by it seems as if the troubles keep crashing onto the shores of our world like waves of a violent hurricane; and the shores are quickly eroding. In the end there is nowhere to turn, and nowhere to escape.

But all of this was predicted by Jesus. He warned us that the conditions of the last days would be filled with violence, racial strife, economic turmoil, and deception.

But the first warning He gave to His disciples on the Mount of Olives was about a powerful deceptive religious force that would be so compelling, it would captivate the minds of almost everyone.

Matthew 24: 4-5, 11, 23-24, 26:  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many….And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many….Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect….Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

The world has always been filled with false prophets and deceptive religious leaders. I read a lot of news, and almost every week I read about a new false prophet somewhere. In fact, Christian television these days is filled with them. All of them have one thing in common: they all claim to be “anointed.” Interestingly, Jesus warned us that they would claim a false anointing, and that is what the word “Christ” means: to be an anointed one. But Jesus said they would not have a real anointing from the Holy Spirit. While they may claim to be an “anointed one,” what they actually turn out to be is a  ψευδόχριστος— a pseudochristos, or false anointed one.

Pseudo, meaning false, and christos meaning Christ: a false Christ.

While there is a true anointing of the Holy Spirit that comes upon a person as they testify, teach, or preach the Word of God, there are many who come in the name of Christ, and, who demonstrate by their false doctrines, that they are in truth a manifestation of pseudochristos. In this way they also act as a mediator between God and man; something only the real Jesus Christ can do (1 Timothy 2:5), which further proves that they are a pseudochristos.

That is why it is imperative that we know the Word of God for ourselves. A true minister of Christ follows the leading of the Holy Spirit, pointing others away from himself to the biblical Christ. He leads others to Jesus, not to miracles or money, and certainly not to himself.

John 16:13:  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

But Jesus also spoke about a powerful deceptive religious force that would begin to capture the minds people everywhere. Indeed, this religious force will prove to be so dynamic and persuasive that it will lead humanity straight into the arms of the Man of Sin, the Antichrist, who is the Beast from the Abyss.

The coming Strong Delusion will be that force. More than false doctrine (although the pseudochristos will be great teachers of lies and false doctrine), they will also possess real supernatural abilities to perform great signs and wonders. They will capture humanity not just with false doctrine, but with power. Furthermore, they will appear as gods because they will have the power to affect humans, not just in a physical way, but in a deeply spiritual way as well. That’s what makes a miracle impressive anyway, it alters the course of nature, and deeply affects the human spirit and soul.

Since Jesus is God in the flesh (KJV 1 Timothy 3:16) , it is my opinion at this point that the coming pseudochristos will also claim to be God, or, gods in the flesh. In other words, they will claim to be a revelation of the Christ, or, the “anointed one.” This may be perceived in the minds of many people to be the return, or Second Coming of Christ. Truly, this will be the full-blown expression of the pseudochristos and the disclosure of Antichrist.

One of the biggest lies we will be presented with will be that the aliens are our creators; and their coming will appear to be the return of the ancient gods who created man in the likeness of God.

There is another salient point I would like to bring out of the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 24. And that is the way the pseudochristos will pretend to lead the people of Earth to find the Christ (in reality the Antichrist).

Matthew 24:26:  Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

I find it very fascinating that Jesus warned us not to believe those who claim to find “Christ” in a desert place, or from a secret chamber; either here on Earth, or (possibly) near Earth, perhaps in our atmosphere, or space near-by (an inter-dimensional portal??). The reason I find this absolutely intriguing is that according to John the Revelator, the Beast from the Abyss, who is the Antichrist, will be released FROM A DESERT PLACE OR A SECRET CHAMBER opened by an angel, a supernatural being!

Revelation 9:1, 3a, 11 :  And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit… And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth…And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

As I wrote in my book Alien Antichrist, the revelation of the Antichrist Beast to the world will occur when Satan is given a key to the bottomless pit (the abyss). At that time he uses the key to release the imprisoned locusts (genetically hybrid beings), and their King Apollyon/Abaddon, who is the Antichrist, a powerful fallen angel, from a secret chamber either deep in the Earth, or near Earth.

Truly, Jesus warned us ahead of time.

He warned us of the appearance of many pseudochristos who will possess supernatural power to do great signs and wonders. And He also warned us not to be taken in by the deceitful lies of those who will claim that Jesus (or a Messiah/Savior type being), will come from a SECRET CHAMBER.

The real Jesus will not come from a hidden place. He will come at a crucial point in time after the bowls of wrath are poured out upon the Earth (Rev.16). Once the wrath of God is poured out, the entire Earth, and the visible universe near us, will be darkened. Then, and only then will the sign of the Son of Man appear in the heavens. That sign will signal the return of the real Jesus Christ as He becomes visible to the entire planet.

Matthew 24:29-31: Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

THE WORLDS RISING STAR AND THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST by Jeff Wingo

July 27, 2015

Lifting the First Seal of Apocalypse and the White Rider of war. Illuminated page from the 17th century Tolkovy Apocalypse, Moscow

Lifting the First Seal of Apocalypse and the White Rider of war. Illuminated page from the 17th century Tolkovy Apocalypse, Moscow

The world loves its “stars,” those in pop culture who appear to be “champions.” They seem to have it all: money, fame, and worldwide appeal. This is actually a biblical principle in operation: Jesus, speaking to His disciples, told them that the world will hate them because they are not of the world: “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you” (John 15:18). But of the world, and its love for its own, that would be self-evident: “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own” (John 15:19).

There is one rising star the world will love: as ironic as it sounds, the Beast. Yes, pop culture, and most Christians, call the Beast the Antichrist; but the Bible describes him as a Beast, and not just any beast, but a wild Beast.

There are three places in the Bible that reveal the true identity of the Antichrist Beast. Many people do not seem to like it when I show them these verses because it blows apart any illusions that the Antichrist is a human being: he is not. To be perfectly clear, the Antichrist is not a human being at all: he is a Fallen Angel, and he is currently being held in the dark cage of Tartarus, also called the abyss, or the bottomless pit.

  •   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: 18: 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.
  • Rev. 9:11: And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. Note: it is at the beginning of this chapter an angel descends and opens the bottomless pit, verse 1, called in Greek phrear the “well” of the bottomless pit.

These three verses reveal that the Beast is from the bottomless pit. The Greek word is abyssos phrear, and it actually describes a type of cistern, or a well going deep into the Earth; it is a well in Tartarus, even deeper than Tartarus itself. It is the well of the abyss, or the lowest place in Tartarus. This is why the devils that Jesus encountered on Earth were terrified of being sent to the abyss; as evil as they are, even the devils are deeply fearful of the place.

In Luke we see an example of this. Jesus encountered a demonized man called Legion. The Legion was fearful of Christ, and begged not to be sent to the abyss:  “And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep” (Luke 8:31). The word deep is the Greek word, abyss, which again, refers to the well of Tartarus.

Could it be that the Beast and his locust army are so evil that even Earth-bound demons are afraid of going to the abyss because they realize they will be in the company of these imprisoned beings?

The reason I ask the question is that it seems reasonable to conclude from the biblical text that the opposite reaction will actually occur on Earth among human beings. According to Revelation when the Beast is released from the abyss the world will not run in fear, but marvel with great admiration and wonder at the Beast. In other words, the world will find another “star” to follow and fall in love with!

Rev. 13: 3c: …”and all the world wondered after the beast.”

The word wondered means to admire, or marvel at. Thayer says it means, “to be wondered at, to be had in admiration.” Evidently the world will fall in love with the Beast. They will admire him with the same hypnotic devotion and admiration they give to celebrities and stars of the world. I hear the ringing of Jesus words so loud it is almost deafening:

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own.

The essence of the world is driven by the sinful desires of human beings, the supernatural sinful nature of the Fallen Ones, and the spirit of the age which promotes both: the zeitgeist, or the innate growth of the spirit of antichrist driven by the self-centered proclivities of both humans and fallen angels. Christians around the world are suffering under an explosion of the spirit of antichrist, most have been for years, but within the past ten years especially, it seems as if the spirit of antichrist is gaining more power and influence.

As a result, we see the beginnings of the full-blown nature of Antichrist manifesting around the world. This may be the beginning of what Paul called the Great Falling Away (2 Thess. 2:3). It is interesting to note that once the Falling Away occurs, the Man of Sin, or Antichrist is revealed.

The word for love that Jesus used in the above quote, “the world would love its own,” is a Greek word, phileo (imperfect tense according to Bullinger), which means “would love, and continue loving!”

Oh, the world will love the Antichrist Beast: they will admire him, love him, follow him, and be amazed at him. He will be the new star of the world. But, given what he is, how is that even possible? His nature is totally evil and given to destruction; his whole kingdom, Babylon the Great will be built on lies, mind control, and human sacrifice; and this doesn’t even include the fact that he will rise from the abyss? How can it be?

That, my friends, is the power of the great falling away, and the deeply spiritual influence of the strong delusion which will be released on the world.

According to Jesus, the world will love its own, because the world will have the same desires as the Beast. What are those desires? To shake off the rule of God and His Son Jesus Christ. It’s always the same: those who reject Christ cry out, “crucify him!;” and, “We will not have that man rule over us!”

He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.  And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.  But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us….”  (Luke 19:12-14).

Jesus of course is the Nobleman who went into the far country of heaven. He received His Kingdom from the Father, and at the right time, He will return. At the end of the parable Jesus said, “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring them hither, and slay them before me: (Luke 19:27).

Jesus will physically return, and when He does, the Beast, the False Prophet, and all of the enemies of Christ will be slain. He will rule the earth with a rod of iron, and all of the nations of the earth will submit to His rule (Rev.19:15). Only Christ can cleanse the Earth of the influence of the spirit of antichrist. Only those who accept Christ, and submit to His rule will be able to shake off the drunken slumber of the spirit of the age caused by the influence of the spirit of antichrist and the strong delusion.

Seek the Lord Jesus. Submit to His righteous rule now, before the full manifestation of the strong delusion, and the star power of the Antichrist Beast. When that time comes, those who are saved and under the authority of Christ may suffer, or even be martyred, but they will be free from the supernatural influence of the spirit of antichrist and the strong delusion.

But those who refuse Christ now, may not have a chance: we don’t know when the strong influence of the Antichrist will begin. And if you refuse Christ now, you may not have another chance. You may be caught in the web of lies that will flow over this world like a tsunami.

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near (Isaiah 55:6).

THE FIRST SEAL: HAS IT BEEN BROKEN? by Jeff Wingo

July 20, 2015

The Lamb opening the book with seven seals by Matthias Gerung, 1530-1532.

The Lamb opening the book with seven seals by Matthias Gerung, 1530-1532.

Has the first seal of the 7 sealed scroll of the book of Revelation been broken? As you may recall, the Apostle John, the author of the book of Revelation, was shown a sealed scroll in heaven that no one was worthy to open (Rev. 5); only the Lamb of God was found worthy to receive the scroll and break the seals. This scroll was given to the Lamb, who is Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God “who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Jesus takes the scroll, breaks the first seal, and begins to unroll it. Each seal reveals an aspect of the judgment of God upon the Earth. Once the Lamb takes the scroll and the 1st seal is broken, John hears a loud noise like roaring thunder.

Revelation 6:1-2

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

With the breaking of the 1st seal, the noise of thunder is heard, which is an ominous warning of Divine judgment. And with that, John is invited to observe the resulting after-effects. It is then that he observes a rider on a white horse. That the rider has a crown is very significant. In this case the crown is the wreath worn by a conqueror. His power in conquest is also implied by the white horse, signifying his position as a victor. According to Albert Barnes, “the horse was an emblem of fleetness, and, consequently, of the rapidity of conquest.” With his bow and crown he goes forth as a victor, conquering the world.

Who is the rider on the white horse? The rider is none other than the Antichrist, the Beast of Revelation. The opinion of commentators of ages past is that this is a symbol of Christ, going forth, conquering the world with the power of the gospel. While it is true that the gospel has the power to redeem the human heart, and thus conquer the power of sin, Jesus did not come to Earth the first time as a conquering king to subdue the nations of the Earth; He came as the Redeemer of mankind, and He said His kingdom is not of this world:

John 18:36:  Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Jesus will subdue the nations at His Second Coming. But before He returns again, the world will experience the judgment of Antichrist. So the king of Revelation 6:2 is not Christ, but the embodiment of the spirit of antichrist, the Beast of the book of Revelation. He is also the Willful King of the prophet Daniel (11:36), and the man of sin, the son of perdition of the Apostle Paul (2 Thess. 2:3).  He has many names in the Bible, but he is better known as the Antichrist, the antithesis of God and His anointed King, Jesus.

Since the Antichrist Beast is released upon the Earth with the breaking of the 1st seal, I think we can reasonably conclude that the seal has not yet been broken. The person of the Antichrist is not yet active on the Earth at this time, however, the spirit of antichrist is. 

A few prophecy teachers today are declaring that the 1st seal has been broken, and they offer their arguments and proofs to substantiate their claims. But, I think if we forget the arguments and opinions, and stick with the biblical text, we can see that the seal is still intact at this point in time. The individual who is the Antichrist is not yet revealed. He is still imprisoned in Tartarus (see Rev. 9:11, and my book, Alien Antichrist).

What we are seeing in the world today is the increasing power of the spirit of antichrist.

At one time the United States was one of the most Christian nations on the face of the Earth. But since the 1960’s we have seen the increasing erosion of the Judeo-Christian standard and ethic that were the founding principles of America. Biblical Christianity is now seen by those in positions of power, such as the media and the courts, as an enemy of the state, and Bible Christians are seen as a threat to freedom and progress. This is why it is so important for those opposed to the Bible to remove displays of the Ten Commandments, public displays of faith and prayer, and other reminders of the Christian faith.

Every religion and voice in the United States is allowed except the Bible and the Christian voice; you can also see this around the world, especially in countries dominated by Islam and various other religions that deny the unique position of Jesus Christ. Think about it: why is the name of every god on Earth allowed, but at the mention of the name of Jesus Christ, the hue and cry of atheists and others is deafening, and absolutely stunning.

This is evidence that the spirit of antichrist is gaining more power and influence; and this trend will continue as we move closer to prophetic fulfillment.

No, the 1st seal hasn’t been broken yet, but we may be closer than any of us can realize. Expect the spirit of Antichrist to gain more power and momentum, and also anticipate the power and influence of deception to increase at a very rapid rate.

As Christians we do have hope, and of course our hope is found in our relationship with Jesus. The Bible instructs us to remain steadfast and continue in our faith:

2 Timothy 3:12-15

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But  evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

bookcoverimagealien-antichrist1[1]If you would like to learn more about the power of deception and the spirit of antichrist then I recommend my book Alien Antichrist, The Terrifying Truth about UFOs and Aliens, Antichrist, and the End of Days.

The book is an in-depth look at the relationship between UFO and alien phenomena and the Antichrist Beast mentioned by the Biblical prophets such as Joel, Daniel, and the Apostles John and Paul. All of them spoke about the end of days and an invasion of our planet by the Fallen Ones. Joel called them a “great army, ” and Daniel said the Beast would lead the world to worship an “alien god.”

Paul said the strong delusion of the last days will be linked with a strange sight in the heavens that is meant to be observed–and he linked this strange sight in the heavens with the Man of Sin, the Antichrist. John revealed that the Fallen Angels will be cast to the Earth, and this will be linked with fire from the heavens–with that said, did you know that angels are called ministers of fire? Are UFOs chariots of God? Or, are the UFO Chariots we see a type of angel? What are the wheels within the wheel that Ezekiel saw, and are they actually UFOs? I address all of this in the book!

Get the book and be informed, then when the aliens suddenly appear in the heavens and invade Earth you will know the truth of what is going on and won’t fall for the Great Deception. The Lord said that His people perish for lack of knowledge: be armed, be informed!

THE BEAST RISES: POPULAR MEDIA PROMOTES THE BEAST by Jeff Wingo

July 13, 2015

Damien Posters for the A&E Series. Photo by Kate Stanhope, HollywoodReporter.com

A&E Networks has a new show in the works: called, Damien, it picks up the life of Damien Thorne 25 years after the events that occurred in the 1976 supernatural thriller, The Omen, which starred Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, and others.

According to the story line, Damien Thorne was born to the wife of American diplomat Robert Thorne (Gregory Peck). It is revealed throughout the movie that the boy Damien has evil supernatural powers, and is destined to grow up to become the final Antichrist as revealed in the book of Revelation. The new series produced by A&E picks up the story 25 years later.

Well, this past weekend, the Comic-Con convention was held in San Diego. Evidently, every year a group of Christians hold a protest outside the convention hall for this particular event, handing out pamphlets and waving signs that proclaim the gospel message, “Faith in Jesus Saves,” etc. According to The Hollywood Reporter, this year, to promote the new A&E series, the Network hired its own “protestors” to disrupt the Christians by waving signs advertising their new occult series, Damien.

As you can see from the above photo, the sign held by the A&E “protestor” says, “From Flame Damien Will Rise.” In the second photo to the right the sign loudly proclaims, “The Beast Rises.” The sign features the snout of a vicious dog pointing skyward as a metaphor of the rising Beast. The accompanying sign features the infamous number of the Beast, 666.

While it is certainly true that the new A&E series Damien is a work of fiction based on the biblical idea of Antichrist, isn’t it very interesting that the attitude of the world is to celebrate with excitement the arrival of the Beast, even if it is a fictional tale portrayed as a series on TV.

I find it even more intriguing that the sign makers, no doubt following the instructions of the series writers and promoters, portray the Beast as rising from the flames of hell. How interesting that they seem to be following the biblical narrative: as a Beast rising from the abyss.

Revelation 9:1-3, 11 :  And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.  And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.  And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power….And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

As you can see, clearly the text reveals that the Beast (also popularly called the Antichrist), rises from the bottomless pit, or abyss. The final end-time dictator of the world, the Antichrist Beast, is not a human being; he is not a human political or religious leader, or a Muslim from the Middle East.

Odilon Redon Apocalypse of St. John, 1899.

Odilon Redon Apocalypse of St. John, 1899.

The biblical text reveals that he is a supernatural being who rises from the abyss once the key is provided to a “star,” which is a powerful angel (I believe this is Satan), who unlocks the abyss, removes the lid, and releases not only the Beast, but an army of locust-like creatures who will torment the world for five months.

As if to strengthen his argument, the writer of Revelation, the Apostle John, repeats the information several more times. The coming Antichrist Beast of the book of Revelation arises from the abyss.

Revelation 11:7:  And when they (the two witnesses) 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.

Revelation 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.

Indeed, the end-time ruler of planet Earth will be a Beast that rises from the flames of a hellish abyss. He is there even now, suffering, and awaiting his release from the dark prison of Tartarus, the lowest place in the abyss; in fact, Tartarus is often described as a well, the well of the abyss; a place even lower than the abyss itself.

The fans of Damien are celebrating the release of this new series on A&E Television, and interestingly, when the real Beast is released from the abyss, the world will celebrate its new leader.

Revelation 13:4: And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

I wonder if anyone ever stops to realize, or even consider the fact, there is a biblical reality behind this fictional series? The writers don’t seem to mind as they mock the biblical gospel, and revealed biblical truth, regarding the real Antichrist Beast—-the end-time ruler who will, in the near future, rise from the abyss. God has revealed all of this in His Word, and as the Bible reveals, God is not mocked (Galatians 6: 7).

I have said, and others have as well, that the people of the world are being mentally and emotionally conditioned to respond in a positive way when the Antichrist Beast does rise from the abyss. It appears that the conditioning process is working just fine; and it also appears to be working overtime.

Thanks for visiting.

Jeff Wingo

You don’t have to be deceived by the conditioning process of the world system. Jesus died, was buried, and three days later conquered the grave, giving eternal life to all who call upon His name. Come to faith in Christ, believe the gospel, and be saved from the power of sin, and the deceitful world system (See 1 Cor.15:1-4; and Romans 10:9-10,13).

UFOs and aliens will play a major part in the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. If you would like to learn more about that then I recommend my book Alien Antichrist, The Terrifying Truth about UFOs and Aliens, Antichrist, and the End of Days.

666: THE WORSHIP OF SATURN AND HIS RELATIONSHIP TO THE BEAST OF REVELATION by Jeff Wingo

June 16, 2015

Saturn as captured by Voyager 2 on July 21, 1981 at a distance of 21 million miles (33.9 million kilometers).

Saturn as captured by Voyager 2 on July 21, 1981 at a distance of 21 million miles (33.9 million kilometers).

Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?  But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.  Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts” (Amos 5:25-27).

Please note: This is my final article on the series, 666: Calculating the Number of the Beast. If my articles have increased your understanding of this puzzling topic let me know!

****************************************************************************************

If you read the earlier articles in this series, 666: Calculating the Number of the Beast (parts 1-5), then you know that King Solomon in his later years abandoned the God of heaven for a bloodthirsty demon god called Molech or Moloch.

Molech went by many names in the ancient world, and I have already discussed that aspect in another article, but essentially all of the names attached to this deity point to one god: Kronus in the Greek, and Saturn by those in Rome.

The River Styx by Félix Resurrección Hidalgo (19th century).

The River Styx by Félix Resurrección Hidalgo (19th century).

Wherever the god Saturn was worshiped the blood of his victims flowed as deep as the river Styx. The River Styx as you may recall, was the barrier between the world of the living and that of the dead. In the mythology of the Greeks, the river was venerated even by the gods, who at times would swear oaths binding their word to the power of the river. It was also believed that bodies dipped into the river would receive the gift of immortality.

Such was the power of Styx that Thetis, mother of Achilles, dipped the child in the river, thus ensuring his immortality. Her one failing in this respect however, was that when she dipped him in the river she held onto his heel. Thus, the only vulnerable spot on the demigod Achilles was his heel, a fact that Paris, under the guidance of Apollo, later took advantage of during the Trojan war. This of course gave rise to the phrase “Achilles heel,” referring to a weakness or mortal vulnerability that could be exploited by one’s enemies.

It is not hard to see that the Greek myth of Achilles still carries a small fragmented memory of a biblical prophecy. Genesis 3:15, states that the serpent would bruise the heel of the seed of the woman. The Serpent must have thought that the “heel” of Christ referred to a vulnerability that could be exploited in the Son of God.

The Crucifixion of Jehohanan. His heel has been pierced with a Roman nail.

The Crucifixion of Jehohanan. His heel has been pierced with a Roman nail.

Thus, when Christ was on the cross, Satan must have personally ensured that the heel also received a nail, pinning the Son of God to the cross, and exploiting (what he thought) was his only vulnerable spot.

To the left is the heel of a man named Yehohanan who suffered a painful death by crucifixion in the 1st century. As you can see the nail penetrated the heel. This was the standard method used by the Romans; and this became better known once the ossuary of Yehohanan was discovered in 1968. It proves that when Jesus was crucified the nail penetrated both heels at once; in fact, the feet were parallel and the nail penetrated both heels which were fastened to the vertical beam of the cross. {2}

I believe the ancient Adversary of the Seed of the Woman was so deceived himself, that he believed his own myth–that Christ could have been defeated if only his heel were bruised.

But in reality, by bruising the Seed of the Woman, Satan actually brought about his own defeat, because it was through the cross the Jesus brought victory to humanity. What really happened was the defeat of the Serpent because through the cross Jesus bruised the head of the Serpent, just as the prophecy predicted. The New Testament teaches us about the victory of Jesus when He suffered the torments of Calvary:

Colossians 2:14-15: Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;  And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

In the wisdom of God the cross bruised the serpents head and brought victory to those who would come to believe the gospel: Jesus died for our sins–He blotted out the law which was against us, and nailed our sin to the cross so that when we come to faith in Christ we bear our sin no more! On the third day Jesus arose victorious over His enemies! That is victory my friends, true victory for you and me!

An Evil Attempt to Prevent the Arrival of the Seed of the Woman

After the fall of Adam and Eve, God gave a prophecy about the coming “seed of the woman,” or Messiah, who would redeem humankind from the power of sin and death.

Genesis 3:15:  And I will put enmity between thee (the serpent) and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Satan, as the father of the seed of the serpent, wanted to ensure that “the seed of the woman” would not reach maturity. So, in response to the prophecy, soon after the fall of mankind, Satan instituted a priesthood and a cult among the ancient tribes. Later the practices of this evil cult were adopted by the Ammonites, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Carthaginians (under the name Baal-hamon), and many others to destroy small children.

As powerful as Satan is, even he is not omniscient, or all-knowing, and so he set up a method of systematic slaughter as an insane attempt to kill the seed of the woman. His strategy was to empower the priesthood of the fire god Molech or Cronus/Saturn, which led to a holocaust of destruction; and we even see this carried forth into the modern world by the rite (a so-called right) of abortion.

Friends, I realize this is hard stuff, most Christians don’t like to talk about this aspect of Bible prophecy either, but nonetheless, as you will see, there is a connection here with the number of the Beast, 666.

The god Saturn or Cronus/Kronos is the same entity as the god Molech, often referred to as the Hidden god. In fact, this may surprise many of you, but when Moses went up on the mount at Sinai to receive the 10 Commandments, the people resorted to the worship of Cronus/Saturn. The Golden Calf the children of Israel danced around was actually a representation of the Egyptian god of the dead, Osiris, also known as Apis the Bull; as such he was also known as the Hidden One. Indeed, Apis was only another name for the god Saturn, the Hidden One of antiquity. {1}

In the language of the Chaldeans the name Saturn is spelled STUR and numerically the letters of the name add up to the number of the Beast.

S = 60, T = 400, U = 6, R = 200, totaling 666, the number of the Beast.

According to Steven, the first martyr of the Christian church, many of the ancient Israelites secretly worshiped Saturn as they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years.

Acts 7:40-43: Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.  And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.  Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Remphan and Moloch are the god Saturn, a celestial deity represented by a star. As incredible as it sounds the planet Saturn, the celestial representation of Moloch is the 6th planet in our solar system. And, even more impossible to believe, Saturn also has a 6-pointed star as a permanent feature at its northern pole. It is known as the Saturn  Hexagon,  a strange wind pattern that has even been seen by amateur astronomers from Earth.  This unique wind pattern on Saturn could only be seen in our time. Is this somehow a marker, a sign in the wilderness of space that the god Saturn is going to return?

So who is Saturn? Saturn, Cronus, and Moloch are all  a veiled reference to none other than Satan, the god of this world. Saturn was known as a devourer of children, and Satan is the devourer of all who reject Jesus Christ.

There are many veiled references to Saturn in the Bible, and in ancient history. Saturn is often represented by a star, as referenced in the Bible verses provided above. According to Velikovsky,”the Babylonians called Saturn ‘the Star of Tammuz.’” {4} Sun worship, and the worship of Tammuz, is mentioned in your Bible by the prophet Ezekiel (8:14). These were all part of the evil abominations he witnessed in the Temple in Jerusalem–a place reserved for the worship of the true God of heaven, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Folks, this goes deep, and I go in-depth with this in my book Alien Antichrist, in chapter 11 called The Image of the Beast, so I am not going to go any more in-depth with this here. But suffice it to say that even the ancient Babylonians referred to Saturn as the star of Tammuz. {4}

PLEASE NOTE: At this point many people go into an anti-Semitic rant against the Jewish flag and the Jewish people; all because they use a six-pointed star on their national flag. But since I am not a hater of Israel or the Jewish people, I don’t think it is necessary to demonize Israel or Jews. Suffice it to say that God will take care of Israel as He has always done; He will also deal with the nation in His own time and way, just as He will deal with all nations before the present age is over. We are all equally guilty before a Holy God. And before we get on our high and mighty horse, the United States is far from perfect and our government for the past 50 years has become a lot less than our Founders envisioned.

I am not really worried about Israel so much as I am about the United States of America–a nation given so much; so much freedom, and so much prosperity, but a nation now (at least it seems) almost wholly given over to a multitude of sins and self-deceptions.

Now to get back to our examination of Saturn, many secret societies use a star symbol, and many use the 6-pointed star as a symbol of their deity. There are all kinds of kooky websites out there that go to seed on stuff like this, but let me point out one major item you may research if you are interested. Historically, the hexagram, a 6-pointed star, has often stood as a symbol of Saturn or Satan. And, I must warn you, if you do look closer at this, and if you dig too deep into history, you may not like what you find.

I will finish this article with one more sign pointing to the Star of Tammuz, or Saturn as a symbol of Satan and the number of the Beast, 666. Here is a painting by Rubens of Saturn devouring his own child, as revealed by the ancient myths. The point I want to make is that Rubens as an artist understood Saturn, and the symbology associated with Saturn and Satan.

Don’t look at the depiction of the pagan god as he is devouring his child. Look at the top of the painting, for there you will see 3 stars, and each star has 6 points. Those 3 stars with 6 points each total 666, the number of the Beast. Rubens knew art, but he also understood the symbology of Saturn, as the image of the Beast.

The Apostle John revealed in the book of Revelation, that the worship of Saturn (Satan) will be intricately linked with the worship of the Antichrist Beast  at the end of days.

Revelation 9:1:  And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

Close up of Rubens painting showing 3 six pointed stars, totaling the number of the Beast, 666.

I am of the opinion that the star that opens the pit, or abyss, is none other than Satan, pictured here as a star. Could it be that at the end of days a great sight will appear in the skies? Is it possible that this star will hit the Earth, and be revealed as the star of Saturn, an Angel of Light? Could it be that this Angel of Light is none other than Heyel ben Shachar, Lucifer the Light-Bearer, the Shining One, posing as the Morning Star?

Isaiah 14:12:  How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

And could it be that the Light-Bearer will pretend to be “the Light,” Jesus, coming back a second time? The Apostle Paul warned us to be careful of the “angel of light.” Because his true nature is that of a roaring lion; and he prowls about, seeking those he may to DEVOUR (1 Peter 5:8); just like the ancient god Saturn.

2 Corinthians 11:14:  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

666: CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST PART FIVE by Jeff Wingo

June 10, 2015 2 Comments

The Conquest of the Amorites; watercolor circa 1896–1902 by James Tissot.

The Conquest of the Amorites; watercolor circa 1896–1902 by James Tissot.

So far in the series we have looked at the biblical links to the number of the Beast, 666. As we have learned, there are some very interesting correlations between the number and it meaning. Lets look at another aspect of this number.

When John wrote the verse he intended that we would use wisdom and examine the biblical text for clues that reveal the meaning behind the number. In this way we will be able to count the number of the Beast, and discover what John meant when he said “its the number of a man.”

Revelation 13:18:  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

In earlier parts of this series we learned that one of the men John wanted us to examine was king Solomon and his link to the number 666, as well as the evil apostasy he led the nation of Israel into near the end of his rule. Solomon abandoned the God of Heaven for the occult gnosis or hidden knowledge of the god of this world, Lucifer, the Light-Bearer. The Apostle Paul warned us about the abilities of Lucifer/Satan to alter his appearance so that his doctrines look very appealing to humanity.

2 Corinthians 11:14:  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Lucifer before the Lord, by Mihály Zichy, 1902

Lucifer before the Lord, by Mihály Zichy, 1902

As most of you know, Lucifer and his fallen ones still come to humans as an angel of light, bearing gnosis or knowledge that appeals to “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life” (1 John 2:16).  He still wants us to pluck fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, but in the end the fruit he offers is actually bitter poison. It destroys our relationship with God, with other people, and can lead to a very bitter end for many, not just in this world, but in eternity as well.

Before the ancient Israelites entered the Promised Land Moses sent 12 spies to examine the land and its inhabitants. God had promised a land flowing with milk and honey, which is a way of saying that the land would be a land of blessing, bounty, and plenty. All of their needs would be met once they entered the land, conquered its inhabitants, and began a new life under the authority of God.

Moses and the Messengers from Canaan, by Giovanni Lanfranco, 1621-1624.

Moses and the Messengers from Canaan, by Giovanni Lanfranco, 1621-1624.

 

After the 12 spies returned from their exploration, 10 of the men brought an evil report which discouraged the majority of the children of Israel from entering the land. They said they saw the Nephilim giants and refused to believe that God would help them conquer the giants and take the land.

As many of you know, because of this heart of unbelief God banished the unbelieving generation to the wilderness for a period of 40 years, or,  until they were all dead. In the end their children entered the land and conquered the Nephilim giants under the leadership of Joshua.

One of the 12 spies was a man by the name of Sethur, and his father’s name was Michael. It is here in the book of Numbers that we see another clue revealing 666, the number of the Beast. And remember, it is the number of a man, so here is another man with a connection to the number.

Numbers 13:13: Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.

According to Dr. Adam Clark the Hebrew name Sethur equals 666:

              ס 60 + ת 400 + ו 6 + ר 200 = 666

This is the one place in the Bible where it seems the gematria works out to 666. As strange as it seems, once we examine the meaning of the names it will become abundantly clear why the Holy Spirit placed this signpost in the ancient book of Numbers.

The following is adapted from my book, Alien Antichrist, The Terrifying Truth about UFOs and Aliens, Antichrist, and the End of Days, and as such this research is copyright 2014, Jeffrey A. Wingo.

The Hebrew name Cĕthuwr Sethur means “hidden, to hide, conceal, mysterious.” The name also means, “destroying.”  {1} The father of Sethur is a man named Michael, which means, “who (is) like God.” {2}

Taking all of this into consideration, and placing the clues side by side, the name Sethur and his father Michael mean: “the hidden one, the destroyer, who is like God.” {3}

Apollyon/Abaddon, the Beast from the abyss also means Destroyer. He is the hidden one, because he is currently in the prison of Tartarus, deep in the Earth. His name means Destroyer, and he desires to be like God. {4}

Another clue is found at Ezra 2:13: “The children of Adonikam, six hundred sixty and six.”

This verse is from a listing of families who are returning to Jerusalem from Babylon after the 70 year captivity. It seems so strange to have information about the number 666 at this point in Scripture, but there is a very good reason it is placed here.

The first clue is the city of captivity, Babylon. And Babylon the Great will be the city of captivity during the Great Tribulation (see Revelation chapter 18). Also, a rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem will one day be the focal point of the entire world when the Antichrist Beast enters the sacred precincts of the Temple, proclaims that he is God, and demands that the Jewish nation of Israel and the world worship him as such.

The name Adonikam means “a lord rising up,” or a lord risen. {5}  According to Dr. John Gill, “the number of Adonikam’s posterity is 666, Ezr. 2:13; whose name signifies “a lord rising up”, or “risen”; and suits very well with antichrist, who is risen up, and assumes a lordly domination over the kings of the earth.” {6}

When put all the clues together we find they point directly at Apollyon/Abaddon, the Beast from the abyss.

A Babylonian Lord Rising up, the Hidden One, the Destroyer, Who is like (or desires to be like) God.

“It is very clear that all of this points to Apollyon the Beast from the abyss! At present he is hidden away in Tartarus. His name means destroyer, and he desires to be like God. In his former days he was the king of Babylon, and when he is released from the abyss he will once again assume that title and position as the king of an Empire called Babylon the Great.” From Alien Antichrist by Jeffrey A. Wingo, pgs. 240-241.

John the Apostle on Patmos by Jacopo Vignali, 17th century

John the Apostle on Patmos by Jacopo Vignali, 17th century

This is what John meant when he said to count the number of the Beast. These clues, hidden deep in the pages of the Bible, your Bible, reveal the meaning behind the number 666 and point to the identity of the Antichrist Beast. This is what John meant when he said:

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

 

It should be abundantly clear that all of the information in this series of articles reveals the identity of the Antichrist as the Beast from the abyss. I realize this may not satisfy every person out there, but the information I have given you is BIBLICAL, that is the main thing. There is too much information out there based on speculation and opinion, but my point is that we need to get back to the Word of God, the Bible.

Also please note that my information comes from the authorized King James Bible, so if you are using a modern translation you may find that some of this information will not be revealed by a few of the more  modern translations, especially paraphrased creations like one as loose as the Message Bible. I am not King James Only, and I am certainly not legalistic about Bible versions, but if you do some checking you may find that the old venerable King James Bible was put together by godly, scholarly, men who translated the Bible using very strict protocols, and they didn’t play linguistic gymnastics like some of the other versions seem to do at times–just my opinion, yours may differ on this subject!

666: CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST, PART THREE by Jeff Wingo

June 2, 2015

Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. Old and meditative king Solomon by Isaac Asknaziy.

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

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!

666-mark-of-the-beast_jpg_w560h420The 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 is the 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:

People_Forced_to_Worship_Idol_by_King_Nebuchadnezzar_001

“Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore 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.

666: CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST, PART TWO by Jeff Wingo

May 30, 2015

Solomon At His Throne, painting by Andreas Brugger, 1777

Solomon At His Throne, painting by Andreas Brugger, 1777

Revelation 13:18: Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

In part one,  666: CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST,  we looked at what the Apostle John really meant when we wrote, “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast…”

What we discovered is that the word count is the Greek word psēphizō (Strong’s G5585), means much more than just counting, computing, or adding the sum of a name to see if the name value equals 666.  It also means to vote, as in a court of law, by casting a pebble into an urn, to decide a case by voting.

Now, as I explained, the Greek word psēphizō is related to another word, psēphos, (Strong’s G5586  ) which refers to “a small worn smooth stone, a pebble” used to cast a vote in court to decide whether the defendant was guilty or innocent; “in the ancient courts of justice the accused were condemned by black pebbles and acquitted by white.”

However, in order to come to a proper conclusion regarding a case the members of a jury must listen to all of the facts. Only in this way can one come to a logical conclusion and properly vote to acquit or condemn the defendant.

So, our task is to search the Bible, study the facts it provides, and in this way solve the enigma of the number of the Beast, 666.

KING SOLOMON: A TYPE OF THE ANTICHRIST BEAST

The Dream of Solomon, Luca Giordano, 1693

The Dream of Solomon, Luca Giordano, 1693

Without doubt, Solomon is one of the most enigmatic figures in the Bible. He begins his reign with the blessings of God, and it seems as if God showers Solomon with an over abundance of wealth and wisdom. Yet Solomon gradually drifted away from the wisdom and blessing of the God of heaven, for the hidden gnosis or knowledge of the god of this world.

 

Solomon's descent into idolatry, Willem de Poorter, Rijksmuseum

Solomon’s descent into idolatry, Willem de Poorter, Rijksmuseum

“For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.  For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.  And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.  Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.  And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods” (1 Kings 11:4-8).

 

It should be noted that every one of these demon gods required human sacrifice. Ashtoreth was a cultic fertility goddess which resulted in the moral debauchery of the people through both male and female temple prostitution. This literally destroyed the foundation of the family and the nation, not only because of its immorality, but because it also included child sacrifice.

It should be equally noted at this point that these were not imaginary gods; by that I mean, these gods were empowered by the Fallen Ones–there was a real spiritual power behind these entities, possibly accompanied by a visible, tangible, manifestation before the people and the temple priests (the same type of visual manifestation found in many modern UFO accounts). There was a reality to these beings, a reality so intoxicating that it caused the kings of Israel and the people to surrender their will (individually and collectively), as well as their little children, to the image of the beast.

All of the gods listed here are essentially the same being: Milcom, Molech,  Chemosh, Molech, Baal-hamon ,were also known in North Africa and Greece as the sun-god Kronos/Cronus. Molech or Moloch is also associated by the Romans with the god Saturn, an ancient cosmic deity worshipped by the Israelites during the 40 years spent in the wilderness with Moses, and later in the Temple proper by Solomon, Manasseh, and many of the other kings of Israel.

Amos 5:25-26:  Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

Acts 7:43:  Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Saturn was seen as the devourer of his own children, and so others offered their own children to the image of this god, the image of the Beast. Symbolically we also see the devourer of children in Revelation 12:4: there the Dragon waits for the birth of Jesus so that he may devour him as soon as he is born.

Historically, the Greek chronicler Diodorus Siculus provided this description of Cronus, the Carthaginian fire god:

The offering of a child to the god Molech

The offering of a child to the god Molech

“There was in their city a bronze image of Cronus extending its hands, palms up and sloping toward the ground, so that each of the children when placed thereon rolled down and fell into a sort of gaping pit filled with fire.”

It is incredible that human beings could be this deceived that they would offer their children in this manner. We tend to think of ourselves as more sophisticated than ancient people; but today our culture (and cultures around the world) also continue this practice offering up little children to the image of the beast–the image of self and pleasure, through the ritual act of abortion.

The Symbol of Gold: Immortality, Power, and Idolatry

Gold is a symbol of wealth, power, and status. It is also not a bad thing in the Bible: Abraham was rich in gold and silver, the Mercy Seat on the Ark of the Covenant was made of pure gold, and the Wise Men brought the Christ child gold. Gold is also a symbol of idolatry, for instance the golden calf worshipped at the foot of Sinai. Historically, gold is likewise a symbol for immortality; in keeping with the ancient mystery religions, the old Alchemists vainly tried to turn base metals like lead into gold.

The alchemical goal is actually an attempt to turn humanity into the gold of the gods; it is an upward reach for the stars, to achieve an apotheosis without the need of the God of heaven. Many secret societies and the ancient Mystery religions also promised transformation or godhood to the highest adepts through the application of gnosis, or the knowledge of the gods. Solomon is an example in the Bible of a man who forsakes Yahweh, the God of heaven, for the secret gnosis of the Fallen Ones. In all reality it is a vain attempt: Solomon later filled with regret cried out, “Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity”  (Ecclesiastes 1:2).

The Bible exposes our minds to the enigmatic symbolism of the Antichrist Beast through Solomon, the backslidden king of Israel:

2 Chronicles 9:13:  Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold.

Of course this gold came to Solomon because of his economic and military policies: Through heavy taxation upon the people, and through the ships and other traders employed by the king. A verse from Revelation 13 comes to mind. It exposes the economic policy of the New World Order once the Beast seizes the reins of power:

Rev. 13:16-17:  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The number 666 is associated with economic and religious power. Babylon the Great will be a wealthy empire for a short period of time. In order to buy or sell though, a person will have to submit to the will of the Beast by means of the image, which is an occult initiation that imprints the mind with a living image of the Beast, and the mark which tags a person as the property of both the Beast and the empire of Babylon the Great.

Human sacrifice will become common place in Babylon the Great. The Beast will make war against the saints (Dan. 7:21), and in Rev. 13:7, the Beast continues his war against the saints, and in doing so he will overcome or conquer them ( Strong’s G3528 – nikaō). Daniel 8:24 says the Beast will corrupt and destroy the “mighty and the holy people.”

According to Revelation 11: 7 “the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them (Christians, the saints), and shall overcome (kill) them.” Rev.13:10 tells us that during this time the saints will be tried and this experience will test “the patience and the faith of the saints.”  Rev.13:15 reveals that the cultic worship of the Beast will also test the saints of God because those who refuse to worship the Beast will be killed.

The religious aspects of Babylon the Great will so permeate world culture that the spiritual powers of the Beast, and the False Prophet, will be turned against the people of God causing them to become a sacrifice to Satan and the Beast system–so much so that the shedding of the blood of the saints will become a special type of spiritual communion among the followers of the Beast:

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.

During this time the saints of God will only be able to overcome the Beast “by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;” in other words, through death by sacrifice, and they will yield to this mainly because they will not have a choice, and so it will be said that “they loved not their lives unto the death” (Rev.12: 11), and their testimony for Christ will shine for eternity like a sparkling diamond (Rev. 20: 4).

Friends, the coming Tribulation is much more than some Christians have made it out to be. I realize that Bible prophecy is fascinating, but lets not have any illusions: it will be a very difficult time.

The Golden Throne of Solomon

The Visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon; Edward Poynter, 1890

The Visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon; Edward Poynter, 1890

“Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:  And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom” (2 Chronicles 9: 17-19).

Here we see Solomon’s royal throne full of symbology directly related to the number of the Beast, 666. Of course we see items of wealth, ivory and gold, used to construct the throne. There is symbolism here as well but at this time I want to focus on the 6 six steps, and the 6 lions on each step mounted on both sides of the throne, giving a total of 12 lions. For it is here that we find the symbolism directly related to the Antichrist Beast and his number, 666.  In a fascinating manner the triple 6 is also related to another throne, one that in the future may be found in Jerusalem.

2 Thessalonians 2: 3b-4: …and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;  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, shewing himself that he is God.

The throne of Solomon with its three 6’s points directly to this throne, the Throne of God as found in the Temple in Jerusalem. The throne symbolism also points to the human heart, because in the New Testament the temple of God is the human body, the heart of course being the center of the mind and emotions, especially the will.

 1 Cor. 3: 16:  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

God does give a very dire warning to those who would toy with the Beast and receive his image into the heart: “If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are” (1 Cor.3:17).

We are made in the image of God. Of course the image is more than just the human body, nevertheless, the Holy Spirit does inform us that our physical body is a container for His presence, and if the temple is defiled by the mark or image of the Beast, the consequences are very severe (Rev.14:9-11.)

The symbolism of Solomon points directly at the Beast of Revelation whose name and number are revealed as 666. Solomon turned into the Beast. The rabbit hole goes deep here, because as I revealed in my book, Alien Antichrist, my hypothesis is that the Beast of Revelation was a king during the days of Noah. He ruled the antediluvian world as the King of Babylon, and spiritually Babylon has always opposed the Kingdom of God and the people of God. Could that be why Babylon occurs 286 times in 282 verses of the King James Bible? Babylon is always evil, and Gods people always have to deal with its evil and idolatry. In fact, Isaiah links Babylon and its evil king with the symbol of Gold:

Isaiah 14:14:  That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

Historically, Babylon captured Jerusalem, the city of God, and made eunuchs of Gods royal people (Is. 39:7).  Throughout history Babylon is linked with idols and false gods, and symbolically Babylon has always labored to capture the city of God and turn God’s people into spiritual eunuchs. The king of Babylon is still doing this even today through the surrender of biblical doctrine and truth by millions of Christians all across the world. Many churches have capitulated to the spirit of antichrist and have become spiritual eunuchs in the eyes of God.

One day a new Solomon will arise and take his seat on the Throne of God and rule the world through a global empire called Babylon the Great. Don’t try to become popular in the eyes of Babylon by compromising the great truths of the Word of God. Don’t yield to the spirit of Antichrist and become a spiritual eunuch for the Beast.

In my next post I will continue exploring the connection of the number of the Beast, 666, and other symbols found deep in the pages of your Bible.

Until then, thanks for visiting.

I realize that articles like this are heavy and hard to bear for some people. But we must understand that Bible prophecy is a spiritual reality, and we must also face the fact that God has a purpose for allowing hard, difficult things like those found in this article.

Jesus Christ is our only hope. We cannot escape spiritual realities, we do live in a fallen world. Find hope in Christ and hold steadfast to His unchanging grace. Jesus died, was buried, and conquered the grave, rising from the dead to save us from our sin. That is the heart of the gospel. Come to Christ, believe in Him, eternity is forever!

Thanks again.
