Mystery Babylon

“And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth prostituted themselves, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her sexual perversities.  So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.  And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her sexual perversities.  And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.  And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.  And the angel said to me, Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.  The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast...

Transhumanist

“But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”  Daniel 12:4   In particular, this is probably one of the bit more difficult topics to write about.  Transhumanism is certainly not something that I had kept up with and certainly not something I would continuously follow, but this is an issue that must be addressed and looked at in relation to God’s Word the Bible, so that the light of His truth might shine upon these things that are quickly happening behind the scenes with very powerful individuals in charge, rich and trying to often achieve their own immorality, invincibility and eternal life, apart and separate from their Creator.   So for the purpose of this article, let’s define transhumanism as abilities given to mankind that are far superior than what God had designed, as well as the attempt to create a body to replace this one that God has designed to only walk on this earth for so long (Hebrews 9:27), as well as a way that man is devising to think to take their spirit and soul, uploading it for all eternity, as if these things are contained in the brain (memories, knowledge, etc.) (Genesis 2:7, 9:4; Leviticus 17:11).    Finally we will address this issue of whether or not the Antichrist will be a transhumanist or not.  Is this possible?  What does the Bible say about such an idea that is amongst those who resist the transhumanist movement, supposedly behind the ‘shield’ of the Christian faith,...

Buy Now, Pay Later

“And as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, without sin, unto salvation.”  Hebrews 9:27-28   “Some men’s sins are clearly evident, preceding them to judgment, but those of some men follow later.”  1st Timothy 5:24   There is a lot coming together, as far as understanding, from a biblical perspective, how to convey the obvious dangerous trap that the world is going head first into.  To be honest, it is almost unbelievable the sneakiness of those who help to manipulate society to literally allow a prison to be put up around them, both virtual and physical.   I have been asking God for wisdom to understand this, as well as how properly put this information out there, for whoever it might be that would consider their ways, repent towards God and by faith believe into Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior (Acts 20:21), before they are left behind (1 Thessalonians 5:9; Revelation 4:1).  If time remains and it is in the Lord’s will, then this material will be produced.    However, the trap that is set is rather large and complex, so trying to break it down into segments might prove useful for some of it.  In all reality, probably only the surface is going to be scratched.  We are not to search out the “depths of Satan” (Revelation 2:24), so my research has been very limited, in which case I have noted that –just- the right...

The Bridge is Out

“And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.”  Genesis 19:14   Imagine that you are driving in a rural portion of the United States, perhaps near Cut Bank, Montana.  There you see a car in the distance, a mile or so ahead on the road.  You are slowly gaining on the vehicle and as the car is in your sight, suddenly it just disappears!   You look over at your passenger, to ask if they just saw where that car went, but they weren’t paying attention.  Perhaps, if you are like me, you have actually heard some stories of bridges out and someone trying to warn people as car after car goes over the edge.  Now you are watching the road carefully, ready for whatever may be up ahead (Matthew 24:42-44) and you start to cautiously slow down, taking heed (Matthew 24:4), as a bridge comes into view…   For most, this is going to be a situation that will never happen.  Though probably a large percentage of our fellow mankind will have one story or another of how they were ‘almost’ in the wrong spot or barely averted some sort of disastrous situation, perhaps sometimes for a reason (Hebrews 1:14)???   What happens when a warning can be given regarding a future problem and no one listens.  There are those stories too!  A ‘smell’ of smoke and a blown fuse, no problem seen,...
