Kingdom Come

“And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains…For the great day of [God’s] wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” (Revelation 6:15-17)

The fact that increasing numbers of people believe in aliens who will come in peace has far greater importance than a simple statement of either 1) gullibility by people who get all their information from television or 2) insight by people who have studied the spirit dimension from the perspective of either Creator God or the rebel gods.

It’s the issue of belief.

The Power of Positive Thinking

Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy…Anthony Robbins

Beliefs are the thoughts in our head that influence our behavior, attitude and actions. The beliefs that affect our lives are either Empowering Beliefs which enable us to lead flourishing lives or Self Limiting Beliefs that stop us from achieving our goals and where we live a life where we languish and flounder.

The Power of Choice is a wonderful gift that we all have and it is this gift that enables us to make choices about what we want to believe and what we don’t want to believe.

These statements from a highly successful motivational speaker are consistent with biblical truths.

• Empowering beliefs: “And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy…I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed… And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.” (Matthew 8:5-8,13)
• Self limiting beliefs: “And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” (Matthew 13:5
• Power of choice: “The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels…The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction….For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth [responds] unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” (Proverbs 1:1-7,29-33)

The lie about belief is that it creates your desired destination.

The truth about belief is that it will lead us to an existing destination.

The lie is offered in magic.

At the dawning of the third millennium, a belief in the reality and efficacy of witchcraft and magic is no longer an integral component of mainstream Western culture…however, beliefs in witches and sorcerers are still firmly retained…in an age characterised by the faltering of elite intellectual self-confidence…and the erosion of faith in human ‘progress’ – symbolised by the apparent failures of science and socialism…

the high magic of the Renaissance magus, a learned and visionary figure combining elements of the scientist and the priest, and entranced by the noble prospect of man controlling the cosmos by magical means [emphases added here and below]…humanity could realise its highest aspirations to understand and to compel the forces that govern the universe, and to make its nearest approach to divinity. Renaissance high magic rested firmly on the quasi-mystical philosophy of Neoplatonism…the so-called Hermetic writings…

Crucial to this conception was the Neoplatonist idea of the spiritus mundi, the spirit of the world, which infuses all things and which is the medium through which the influence of the stars is drawn down to earth. The purpose of magic then becomes that of attracting benign stellar influences and hindering malign ones; and the magician must study how to compel these forces by carving images on stones (talismans), chanting and singing mystical songs, making certain gestures and producing appropriate odours, all at the astrologically propitious times. The spiritual unity of the world is the ground of the ‘sympathies’ among its parts which are the magician’s concern…There was much debate about the extent to which high magic relied on demons...some of its exponents…talk of ‘planetary deities‘, invited the charge that it was not really a natural magic, but rather a demonically facilitated one, and as such reprehensible. Some influential theorists…were actually willing to admit that their magic in some of its aspects employed demonic power…

Can we not see that the claim that higher powered spiritual union with the human unstable soul empowers the human is a lie?

All spirits are spin-offs of the Creator Holy Spirit, so regardless of the moral or immoral objective of the spirit’s interaction, they all function in the same way with four dimensional mortals.

The power of the hyper dimensional being flows through the human soul that is joined by believing and receiving the spirit. The soul then takes on the spirit’s values, motivations, goals and objectives, and executes them through the actions of the soul-directed body.

“as many as received him, to them gave he power…that believe on his name / attributes:” (John 1:12)

The objective of the superhuman spirit’s interaction with a human is always to empower the will of the hyper dimensional spirit in the four dimensional world. Unlike a lying spirit, the Bible doesn’t deny this. Note that in the following passages the ultimate objective of the sharing – ergo exponential increase – of spirit power / glorifying can be traced back to the will of the original spirit in the chain of command.

“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come;

I have manifested thy [secret] name [giving access to your power] unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world…Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

• For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me;
• and they have received them…
• and they have believed that thou didst send me...
• them also which shall believe on me through their word;

That…as

• thou, Father, art in me,
• and I in thee,
• that they also may be one in us:

For whose purpose? the Father’s!

• that the world may believe that thou hast sent me
• and that the world may know that thou hast sent me.” (John 17:1-23)

“Ye shall not see me…till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the LORD / YHVH.” (Matthew 23:39)

According to this line of reasoning, the gods and their chosen inhabited one / christ are empowered to return when – like Jesus Christ – they are believed on, called for, and welcomed.

Is this happening?

Absolutely.

The world is a religious jungle with false prophets as detailed above and in the previous post Signs of the Times.

In particular, the New Age Movement for the spiritually minded, and equating aliens with the ancient gods for the open minded, has unlocked barred doors of opportunity for hyper dimensional beings by whatever name they are called.

Paganism remains a small, but growing, minority religious movement. The 2014 Pew Institute Religious Landscape Study reported that…In the US, the Pagan population is about the size of a small Protestant denomination.

The larger mainline Protestant denominations ranged from Episcopalians with 1.2 percent of respondents to Baptists with 2.1 percent of respondents.

About 2.1 percent of respondents identified as Jewish. About 20.8 percent of respondents identified as Catholic. Atheists made up 3.1 percent of respondents. Muslims constituted 0.9 percent of respondents.

And that’s just in the religious domain. So-called entertainment has broken down the barriers to the souls in a massive media onslaught, especially of our children.

We make a grave mistake when we think of evil spirits only as frightening monsters who assault us against our will, like a psychopath in a Halloween movie. (I was going to include a graphic here but it was just too creepy.) On the contrary, they are fascinating individuals whose real powers and lures of enriching our lives draws us to willingly identify with them.

It doesn’t take the genius mind of Stephen Hawkins to anticipate the next step in the relationship between a human being and his / her Master, “Ascended” or otherwise. The magicians, sorcerers, witches and others who think they are calling in beneficent spirits to do their bidding inevitably find themselves in bondage to the spirit being.

Ultimate bondage is experienced by any short-sighted individual who goes to a drug dealer, a loan shark, or a crime boss for a fix. They all will give you what you want in the short term, but it will definitely cost you sooner or later. The house always wins.

Jesse’s relationship with Walter White in the hit show Breaking Bad is an excellent portrayal of the breakdown of relationship with evil forces by whatever name they are called. 

one thing that remained largely unchanged throughout the course of the series was its core: the relationship between Walt and Jesse Pinkman.

The engine that drove Breaking Bad forward, the torrid partnership between the proverbial master and protege that was Walt and Jesse was inarguably the strongest pillar of Breaking Bad…

While Jesse’s life may not have been that of a decent upstanding citizen when he first encounters Heisenberg, where he ends up is ultimately far worse, as the the series concludes with Jesse being an escaped slave whose life will remain on the run due to various previous crimes, including, you know, murder. [Emphasis added.]

But in between the beginning and the end, there’s a whole lot of middle that operates in an emotional gray area, and that gray area can be boiled down to one question: did Walt ever actually care about Jesse?…

No matter how many times he refers to him as “son”, no matter how many times he negotiates to save his life, Walt ultimately manipulated Jesse into whatever he needed him to be in that moment.

Even when considering the fact that Walt eventually freed the chain bound Pinkman from his Neo-Nazi captors, it was only through happenstance…He didn’t go there to save Jesse — he saved Jesse because he was there.

So what are we left with? Like their relationship itself, a bit of a gray area. Walt did — and up until the moment he dies, does — care about Jesse.

But, just like everyone else in the wake of his blood-soaked, meth-fueled destruction, he only cared when that adoration didn’t interfere with his own personal gain.

From nerve and disease agents to the feared and coveted V-1 and V-2 rockets, Nazi scientists worked on an impressive arsenal. As the war came to a close in 1945, both American and Russian officials began scheming to get that technology for themselves… 88 Nazi scientists arrived in the United States and were promptly put to work for Uncle Sam.

In the days and weeks after Germany’s surrender, American troops combed the European countryside in search of hidden caches of weaponry to collect. They came across facets of the Nazi war machine that the top brass were shocked to see…That is really where Paperclip began, which was suddenly the Pentagon realizing, ‘Wait a minute, we need these weapons for ourselves.’

There will come a day of reckoning, a choice to be made by every individual, whether to choose to do the wrong thing in order to save one’s own quality of life, or to do what the blaring warning alarm in one’s conscience alerts you is the right thing to do regardless of the loss over the direction of your life, or worse, your loved ones’ lives. This is what separates out the people who choose God’s right way from the wicked who chose to go their own way.

The Bible is not a guidebook to a lifestyle, it is a guide to life itself. As with any other, only those who develop wisdom and understanding from studying the subject recognize and know how to respond with life sustaining power when confronted by death-dealing forces.

“The Endless” is proof…this is a movie that plays with our perceptions of time, space, and reality, and sketches the outlines of unimaginable [endless] terror…

Things become unmoored from scientifically verifiable truth…There are so many strange moments and images, most of them tossed-off…effectiveness comes from comparing what we’re told would happen against what actually does happen. [Emphasis added.]

And I stood upon the sand / border of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea [of outer space], 

• having seven heads
• and ten horns,
• and upon his horns ten crowns,
• and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

And the beast which I saw was like unto

• a leopard (Greece / Asia Minor / Turkey)
• and his feet were as the feet of a bear (Persia / Iran
• and his mouth as the mouth of a lion (Rome/ Europe / NATO including the US]
• and the dragon [mushussu / Babylon / Iraq with oil] gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” (Revelation 13:1-2)

And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the…beast which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

Seven Heads

A head of state (or chief of state) is the public persona who officially embodies a state in its unity and legitimacy…the head of state may be a ceremonial figurehead (such as the British Monarch) or concurrently the head of government and more (such as the president of the United States, who is also commander-in-chief of the US Armed Forces).

Hitler was the supreme leader of the Axis Powers consisting of ten heads of state of Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Croatia and Finland.

Likewise, the totality of the Roman Empire was subdivided into provinces based on territorial absorption into the Empire. Obviously there were different administrative imperatives based on the the relationship of submission or chronic rebellion to Rome’s authority, value of resources, etc. You don’t see American forces expending military resources in impoverished Sudan like we do in oil-rich Iraq.

Likewise there were two basic types of provinces.

1. Public provinces were managed by the Senate, which voted governors into annual terms.
2. Imperial provinces were headed by imperial appointees to indefinite terms, rich provinces, like enviable embassadorial posts, granted to supporters to whom the emperor owed favor. The imperial provinces were further broken down by the presence, or not, of a military garrison.
   1. A militarized zone was ruled by a praefecti, a military officer under legatus Augusti pro praetore(literally: “envoy of the emperor – acting for the praetor”), who was the combined head of the provincial administration, chief judicial officer and commander-in-chief of all military forces based in the province (legions and auxiliaries).
   2. A province that had been absorbed through an alliance, such as Judea under Herod, and did not require military occupation was ruled by a procuratore. or praefecti. These were men of the second highest Senate rank, equestrian rank, the Roman knights, whose appointments were based on their support of the Emperor.

During Nero’s reign, out of a total 36 provinces, 10 provinces were headed by procuratores or praefecti. However, the number of provinces which had reached a high ranking with resultant economic benefits varied, depending on current status of alliance. This is easily recognizable by the fluctuations in alliances by foreign nations with America, such as Turkey.

“From the reign of the emperor Vitellius, who ruled in the year 69, onward, these equestrian procurators often served as heads of the great ministries of the Roman government.“ The most important ministries were finance, correspondence and petitions, equivalent to the American roles of Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of State, and Vice President who is also the President of the Senate empowered to break a tie in proposals / petitions.

Ten Horns

Daniel’s original prophecy regarding this last kingdom defines the horns.

“The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth…the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” (Daniel 7:23-25)

OK, so doesn’t this state categorically that the beast is a kingdom, not an individual?

Semantics.

Autocracy is a system of government in which supreme power over a state is concentrated in the hands of one person, whose decisions are subject to neither external legal restraints nor regularized mechanisms of popular control…

In earlier times, the term autocrat was coined as a favorable description of a ruler, having some connection to the concept of “lack of conflicts of interests” as well as an indication of grandeur and power. This use of the term continued into modern times, as the Russian Emperor was styled “Autocrat of all the Russias” as late as the early 20th century. In the 19th century, Eastern and Central Europe were under autocratic monarchies within the territories of which lived diverse peoples.

Daniel’s prophecies about the Persian and Greek Empire assumes understanding of the autocratic nature of the ancient nations.

• “a ram which had two horns…the two horns are the kings of Media and Persia…
• an he goat came from the west…had a notable horn between his eyes.
• the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
• And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great” (Daniel 8)

“the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.” (Revelation 17:12)

A current conceptual fit for the ten kings under an autocracy can be found in the United Nations, where ten leaders are fully subject to the main power.

The Security Council, the United Nations’ principal crisis-management body,is empowered to impose binding obligations on the 193 UN member states to maintain peace. The council’s five permanent and ten elected members meet regularly to assess threats to international security, addressing issues that include civil wars, natural disasters, arms control, and terrorism…

The Security Council has five permanent members—China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States—collectively known as the P5. Any one of them can veto a resolution. The council’s ten elected members, which serve two-year, nonconsecutive terms, are not afforded veto power…

the United States was among the powers that prevented a robust UN response in Rwanda. Despite alarming reports received by the council in 1994, it declined to respond as an estimated eight hundred thousand people were killed in a genocide committed against ethnic Tutsis.

So since horns have always symbolized kingship, the real question is not “what do horns symbolize?”, but “why do horns symbolize kingship?”

Horns signify the God / god who is the source of the king’s power.

“God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.” (Habakkuk 3)

“this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death…of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord…let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph…his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth.” (Deuteronomy 33)

“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.” (Revelation 5:6)

So of course the Adversary has his counterfeit.

Gerald Gardner says (in 1959’s The Meaning of Witchcraft) that The Horned God is an Under-god, a mediator between an unknowable supreme deity and the people.

Horns have always been an important symbol throughout history and throughout every culture but now this symbolism is appearing more and more in mainstream pop culture. It makes you wonder “why now?” and what’s going on…To really understand we have to go back through time and look at what’s behind all the symbolism.

According to DNA studies, all cows, bulls, and oxen…originated from the now extinct, wild aurochs…enormous and fearsome animal that roamed all of Europe and Asia for thousands of years…The Aurochs cow (female) and bull (male) were so connected with the creation of the universe[emphasis added here and below] that the first two runes in the Elder Futhark are dedicated to them…and the 24 runestaves of the Elder Futhark is said to be, when understood, the secret to the entire sequence of the universe. The Egyptian Goddesses Isis and Hathor both are depicted with cow horns connecting them with creation…

One of the most notorious ancient gods Moloch, was a bull horned god worshiped by the ancient Canaanites, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and most of the Eastern Mediterranean. His name has a root that in the Semitic languages means “king”…The god Enlil [Adam, Son of God] was also considered the bull of heaven and his son, Sin, the moon god, rode on a winged bull. You can see how all this symbolism gets distorted over the course of history. The difference between good and bad really depended on who’s team you were on.

The first one that we have a written record of is Enki [Sumerian Lucifer], the master shaper of the world, god of wisdom, and all magic. He is usually seen with the horned crown of divinity...Other important gods who had these horns were the Egyptian, Ra Ammon…Osiris, Utu, sometimes Zeus, Mercury, Jupiter, Odin…Alexander the Great…made a visit to the Oracle of Ammon in the Libyan Desert, and supposedly, the oracle told him he was the son of Ammon/Zeus, and afterwards he became known as the “two horned one”. Coins minted after this time show him wearing the “Horn of Ammon” crown…Alexander really believed that the oracle was right and that he was a god, as we know that he founded a dynasty on this claim…Cleopatra of Egypt, later claimed to be the goddess Isis because she was a descendant of Alexander and therefore of the royal line of the gods.We can clearly see that horns in the ancient world were considered a sign of kingship, divinity, and wisdom. Even as the “Emperor Card” in the tarot shows the emperor seated with horned rams’ heads on the four corners of his thrown signifying his divine power brought into the physical realm…

remember the truth about who and what we are and how powerful we are. That truth is that as humans we are all descendants of gods and most of what we were taught to believe are lies specifically engineered to make us forget who we really are. The purpose of demonizing the culture of our ancestors…is all part of the plan to make sure that we never wake up. Our ancestors have left us with all the pieces of the puzzle, and now all we have to do is figure out how to put them together.

With this background in mind, we should be able to recognize that every culture in which the 1st Century Jewish scriptures were preached proclaiming that Yeshua haMessiah of Nazareth was the rightful king of Israel naturally also accepted him as the son of the Jewish God YHVH Creator, and therefore also easily accepted him as one prophesied to be the Savior of the world. He was simply one of many claimants – importantly – within the Roman dominions.

What made Yeshua different, and more appealing, was his message of equality and spiritual empowerment of even the lowest members of society, not to mention the legally admissible proof by witnesses of his resurrection, ergo real power over death.

The abomination of desolation is commonly conceived of as a statue, no doubt because it is reported to be “set up” by Daniel and “stand” by YHVH’s Savior. This concrete interpretation is improved by applying the abstract meaning of “To raise in authority or power;  invest  with  power:  They set the general up as a dictator.”

As detailed in previous posts, an abomination is a hybrid being, a mingling of angelic / alien and human DNA. As the offspring of the dragon, he inherits his tendency towards violence from Lucifer himself. See the post Seed of the Serpent for background. 

• “And the king shall…exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god,
• and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods…
• in his estate shall he honour the God of forces…
• a god whom his fathers knew not…in the most strong holds with a strange god…

and he shall cause THEM to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain…

This abomination causes tremendous desolation

And at that time…there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time.” (Daniel 2, 11)

John picks up where Daniel leaves off with the same hybridized ruler who wreaks destruction on the earth.

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea…and the dragon / Satan clone of Lucifer gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority…
