The false prophet is a mercurial figure in end times world events that require guidance from the Holy Spirit to decipher. Many remain apathetic to the topic due to the numerous conspiracy theories that confuse more than they enlighten. As apathy, misinformation, and spiritual myopia prevail, the kings of darkness rejoice and march forward with their agenda at minimal deterrence. As a sequel, this third part will make more sense when read together with the first two parts of Deconstructing Babylon.
In the Book of Revelation, “false prophet” is in reference to the beast from the earth of Revelation 13:11-18. There are three monumental beings referred to as “Beasts” in the Book of Revelation: The Beast from the sea ( Rev 13:1-10), The Beast from the earth (Rev 13:11-18), and the Beast that was, and is not and yet is (Rev 17). With the dragon as the main puppeteer, these three form an unholy alliance in man’s domain, seeking to capture and control man’s dominion with the ultimate goal being an attempt to overthrow the Christ Kingdom. The beast that was, and is not and yet is ( Rev 17) has been discussed in depth in part two of this sequel.
As we seek to unravel the mystery of the other two beasts, it is necessary to revisit the kingdom transitions that have occurred in man’s domain culminating in the Christ Kingdom. Worth noting is that despite the kingdoms playing out in the physical realm, they are by and large spiritual kingdoms. There is always a principality (a spiritual king) behind the worldly kingdom manifestations. The name of the Kingdom is synonymous with the Principality/King in charge.
Daniel 10:20-21 NKJV
“ Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come. But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. (No one upholds me against these, except Michael your prince.”
The image in King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel chapter two forms an indicative visual representation of the kingdoms’ transitions over time. This image has five distinct parts each symbolizing an eventual kingdom( principality) starting from Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon.
Daniel 2:31-35 NKJV
“You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome. This image’s head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.”
Prior to Babylon, there was Egypt and Assyria totaling seven major kingdoms from the time of Nimrod. These seven Kingdoms (Kings, Principalities) are symbolized as the seven heads of the beast from the sea of Revelation thirteen and its image in Revelation seventeen (the beast that was, and is not and yet is).
Revelation 17:9-11 NKJV
“Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.”
During the time of John, the five fallen Kings were Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, and Greece. Rome, the sixth was the one at the helm. According to John, one of the heads (King/principality) of the beast from the sea was mortally wounded. What does this mean?
Revelation 13:3-4 NKJV
“And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
Principalities are referred to as sons of God and it can only take his power to impart such severe punishment. This occurrence was part of the curse issued to the Serpent in the Garden of Eden after deceiving Eve.
Genesis 3:15 NKJV
And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”
In Genesis 3:15, God foretells the crashing of the figurative “serpent’s head” in the hands of the Messiah Jesus Christ. The serpent’s head or the principality through whom Satan ruled the world during Jesus’ time was Rome. This is the mortally wounded head in Revelation 13:3-4 and the Kingdom of Iron in Daniel 2:40 that crashes and breaks into pieces. It is the fourth Kingdom from Babylon in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream but also the sixth from Egypt. This is the King (Kingdom/principality) described as “one is” after the previous five have fallen in Revelation 17:9-11.
Daniel 2:40 NKJV
“And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others.”
With the presence of God’s Kingdom in man’s domain through Jesus Christ, Rome retreats and morphs into a seventh mysterious Kingdom. This mysterious Kingdom is depicted as the feet partly of iron and partly of clay in the image of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream ( Daniel 2:31-35). The feet, partly of Iron and partly clay symbolize a hibernated camouflaged Rome (Iron) riding on another form (clay) for presence in man’s domain. It should not go unnoticed that clay is materially different from the rest in the image which are metallic in nature. By incorporating clay, a symbol of the physical realm/earth, the seventh kingdom makes a departure from the purely celestial nature of its predecessors. Clay is also symbolic of the human race that God formed from the dust of the earth. Though Rome as a principality is celestial in nature, its resurgence into the seventh kingdom will be in a human body. Partly celestial and partly human, thus the feet of partly iron and partly clay.
This hybrid King is the subject of John’s vision of Beasts in Revelation thirteen. The terms used are “beast from the sea” and “beast from the earth”. Just like Iron(metal) and clay in Daniel 2:31-35, these terms are used to indicate celestial and human transcendence respectively. In other words, the hybrid king will be a celestial being in a human body. As much as they have been portrayed as two different beings in the vision, physically they will be seen as one person. His human body is what will be visible to the human eye though inside will be a celestial being.
Revelation 13:11-18 NKJV
“ Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
In the above verses, John emphasizes the hybrid nature of the humanoid. He’s able to do wonders owing to his celestial nature although appearing in a human body. The two horns are the two major powers he wields that appear harmless to the majority ie. Religion and government. This is the son of perdition that Paul writes about in 2 Thessalonians:3-12.
2 Thessalonians:3-4 NKJV
“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
Man is a precious and unique creation in God’s own image. The capacity to harbor God’s Love is an attribute that distinguishes him from the rest of God’s creation. This attribute of God’s love in him make’s him the only candidate for salvation. As God is Love, this attribute is substance and can only exist in a human being modeled after God’s own image. Incapacitation of this attribute through sin is redeemable through Jesus Christ. However, there are other alterations that significantly change this core nature of a human being making him irredeemable. Any alteration that diminishes the operation of freewill in a human being works towards making him irredeemable. A human being cannot genuinely express God’s love without freewill.
An artificial human body can be created through cloning. With the advancements in science, there are talks of how a human soul being data can be captured and downloaded on a different body. Rumors are already rife of some popular social figures being cloned. Such clones would be devoid of free will and God’s love as only God can pass down such attributes to human beings. On the contrary, they would be perfect habitats for evil spirits and demons as there would be no threats of eviction. This would be a demon-driven human race. As a matter of fact, the Bible predicts this scenario as a major identifier of the seventh kingdom.
Daniel 2:43 NKJV
“ As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.”
Jeremiah 51:17-18 NKJV
“Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge; Every metalsmith is put to shame by the carved image; For his molded image is falsehood, And there is no breath in them. They are futile, a work of errors; In the time of their punishment they shall perish.”
Revelations 18:2-5 NKJV
“And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.”
As Daniel 2:43 puts it, there will be another human race profoundly different from the seed of men as created by God. In the final judgment and destruction of Babylon in the book of Jeremiah, there is an emphasis on carved/ molded images. This is symbolism for the clones which are man-made. Indeed in Revelations 18, John reiterates Jeremiah’s prophecies on the clones which will be hosts for demons and evil spirits to walk amongst us. As the Principality himself will be a celestial being in a human body, so will be other numerous demons and evil spirits in cloned human bodies masquerading as real human beings. This coexistence between real humans and contras will be one the hallmarks of this kingdom.
This principality persuades the earth dwellers to create the “image of the beast” which was revealed in the second part of this sequel as Artificial Intelligence or the Beast that was, and is not, and yet is of Revelation seventeen.
Revelation 17:10-11 NKJV
There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.
The beast that was, and is not, and yet is ( Artificial intelligence) rules as the eighth but together with the seventh king. It is important to note that principalities are not omnipresent and thus require third-party help in keeping track of everything. This is where the Artificial intelligence comes in handy. A celestial being on earth with Artificial intelligence at his disposal would wield enormous power and control. Add to that the contra-human race and the reality of the seventh kingdom becomes horrifyingly clearer.
The concept of the mark of the beast that is imposed by the AI worldwide is one that has been subject to much speculation and conspiracy theories. To debunk it, we have to understand what would be in it that would make a human being irredeemable through Jesus Christ. Satan tries to imitate the structure of God’s Kingdom. When one is born again through Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit indwells him connecting him to God’s Kingdom. The principality doesn’t have this privilege of omnipresence. The symbolic “mark” through AI plays this role ensuring his presence in an individual. Through this “mark”, an individual is connected to the principality’s kingdom. In other words, the “Mark” is to the unbeliever what the Holy Spirit is to the believer.
How exactly does receiving the “mark” make an individual irredeemable? Although the Holy Spirit indwells a believer, he does not impose himself over the individual’s will. The individual still retains his free will and it is only upon submission that the Holy Spirit works through him. The same is not true for the other side. The presence of the principality in an individual through the “mark” will rob him of free will. Without free will, one is incapable of choosing God’s Love. Redemption through Jesus Christ is a choice that one has to make. Without this ability, an individual is destined for damnation. This kingdom is about total control.
As to the particulars and the identity of the mark, I leave it to the imagination of the reader. The most important thing for the believer is to walk in the Holy Spirit. Our redemption remains in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Daniel 2:34-35 NKJV
“You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.”
Revelation 19:20-21 NKJV
“Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the hose. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.”
The groundwork is being laid for the revelation of this Kingdom. Many remain ignorant despite everything happening in plain sight. Prophecies detailing these events have gone unheeded. We have shunned the Truth and embraced the convenience of lies. We seek that which is entertaining instead of what awakens. As we sleepwalk into the new world order, we ignorantly become accomplices to the puppeteers’ big agenda. Wake up, my people! See through the social engineering, the misinformation and disinformation. Seek the Truth while you still can and the Truth shall set you free.
John 14:6 NKJV
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Amen.
