Right now, America and other Western democracies, in fact the whole world, are being manipulated to not only accept the mark of the beast, but even to love it, to want it and be willing to stand in line to get it. Some of the folks who will love it may even be attending the same church you are. Sadly, some may even be reading this essay. How can that be? Nearly every human in the West knows that the number of the Beast is tied to an eternity in hell. So how could this be?
I believe that Satan needs to manipulate us somehow into accepting something we'd never do naturally. For him to achieve this goal, he has to get people to do what they would never logically do. That’s why I believe we're being intentionally programmed and manipulated to want the mark and they’re doing this by using mind altering techniques. Think about it, if the ad agencies can get you to buy just about anything from the most ugly of clothes, electric cars that don’t go very far and even the most harebrained government policies, then this is no stretch of the imagination.
So, this begs the question, how are people of the Nations being set up to willingly accept the mark, how can we recognize the brainwashing techniques that they're using on us and who is this “they” that's doing all this? We're going to get to all of that today. This essay is about what they're doing to influence you in advance of the mark of the beast that is being rolled out as well as the subtle things behind the scenes things that they're doing.
So first off, who is this “they” that's doing all of this to our society? I know what the knee-jerk response to that question is it's either one political party or the other or that it's this billionaire over here or those oligarchs over there. But, the truth is, those are only people. In Ephesians 6:12 the Apostle Paul tells us “for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood.” In other words, it's not human beings but against spiritual principalities and against Powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age. We’re up against spiritual hosts or fallen angels and wickedness in Heavenly places. Our real adversaries aren't human. They’re fallen angels still reigning over us from Heavenly places, in the heavenly dimension.
Now, Satan is working through through humans in both political parties, in all government agencies, in corporations, in our institutions and elsewhere to implement his plans. But, his plans are coming from the heavenly dimension to those within Satan's domain in order to implement them. In simple terms, this is all coming from the father of lies. He’s just using human beings as his useful idiots. They’re the vehicles that implement his plans and make it happen.
So, why do Satan and his fellow evil minions want the mark of the beast in the first place? Well, one reason that might be is found in Matthew 23:39. Yeshua said he will not return until the Jewish leadership and all the people cry out to him “blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” In other words, he won’t return until they repent and acknowledge Him as their Messiah and the Son of God. It’s possible that if Satan can cause them to not cry out to him, Satan might be thinking that this means that he can keep his dominion over the Earth. Now this is NOT my idea, but just because it isn’t my idea, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be considered.
So, it could be that the mark of the beast is Satan’s plan for his own Survival. If everyone takes the mark and there's no one left to cry out to Yeshua, Satan may actually think that he can survive and retain his position. We know from Revelation 14:9-11 that to receive the mark of the beast means eternal damnation from which no one can repent and there is no escape. So, if every human alive on Earth takes the mark, then there will be no one left to cry out to Yeshua and thus the Lord won't return to rule it and the Earth would remain in Satan's control. It could very well be that Satan has put together this very simple plan to get everyone to take the mark and eliminate anyone who refuses it.
Arguably, eliminating everyone who refuses to take the mark of the beast may very well be what the Great Tribulation is all about. So to do that, Satan would need to make the mark of the beast either as innocuous as possible so no one will notice or as attractive and appealing as possible he can so more people will willingly take it. You know darn well that he and his minions aren't going to advertise it for what it really is! You know, “here, take this mark and be eternally damned.” Nope! That ad campaign isn't going to get any takers. Well, maybe some heavy metal rock and roll types might go for it, but certainly not everyone anyway.
But, if you think about it, that is exactly what Satan is up against because just about everybody, at least those from the mostly culturally “Christian” west knows that the mark of the beast leads to hell! But sometimes you gotta give the devil his due. He and minions are pretty smart and they've had approximately 2,000 years since the resurrection to roll this out. Since their continued existence could very well depend on this plan working, you can bet they're gonna be very crafty in how they're designing it.
No doubt this plan of theirs would involve manipulation, mind control and even brainwashing! The idea that the human mind can be altered or controlled by certain psychological techniques, drugs both legal and illicit or even chemicals like fluoride in our water supply is not new. And their plan would have to be worldwide because they need to convince people all over the world to take it and as we said it's a tough sell since nearly every human being has heard of the mark of the beast.
So the devil and his minions would need to alter people’s thinking, perhaps even alter their brains to get folks to allow or even welcome something that if you weren't brainwashed you would never do. So, to achieve his goals Satan has to get people to do what they'd never naturally do!
As a side not, but definitely very related, in 1984, a former Soviet KGB agent and defector, Yuri Bezmenov (LINK), was interviewed by American researcher and author G. Edward Griffin where he described the Soviet plan to brainwash the entire USA. Brainwashing the entire planet is probably similar in many ways to the plan that the Soviets came up with. Bezmenov said that the first step was mass scale demoralization by creating a lack of Hope and a lack of self-worth. Nothing destroys hope like drugs. Have you ever wondered why mind control drugs even legal ones like Zoloft and Xanax sold $21 billion last year?
And don’t forget illegal mind altering drugs whose sales are even much more than that. Two whole Industries are built on drugs, the healthcare industry pushing legal and the criminal pushers of illegal drugs. Psychoactive drugs impact brain chemistry. If you want to change the way a person thinks, you must make the mind a fertile place for that change. Mind altering drugs are one way to do that. It's no doubt part of brainwashing techniques used by spy agencies and I think it's part of Satan's plan implemented by evil men in government and Industry and of course the underworld.
Creating dependency on government is another way a person loses their self-worth. This is achieved by isolating people from their social support networks. This breaks down their self-confidence and autonomy by severing their ties with friends and family and other sources of support. The individual becomes increasingly reliant on the group that's brainwashing them. Wonder why there's so many entitlement programs? Arguably, this is one reason! Wonder why social media is pushed to separate us from our real relationships with those around us? Remember this, true self worth comes from our relationship to God who proved our worth by dying for us on the cross. Never ever forget that!
Once the manipulator destroys everyone’s self-worth, the next step might be to destabilize the world's systems. You get the idea, destabilize and/or collapse things like the financial system, the welfare system and the healthcare system so people cannot rely on them in a crisis. No doubt this is why Satan is having his minions move the world toward digital currency and the World Health Organization’s control over global healthcare. Ask yourself this, why is digital currency being rolled out? I think that the answer is to steal every asset the people have and to create dependency on the government for subsistence. All these things are the early stages of the program!
Now it's about to get a lot more serious! John 10:10 tells us that “the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.” So I think it’s relatively safe to say that we can expect a lot of stealing, killing and destroying in the not too distant future too! This is the third part of the worldwide brainwashing program. Once people have their minds weakened and the systems they have been made to rely on destabilized, a crisis that’s been in the works for some time will no doubt be unleashed on all of us.
You know the elites are great at wreaking havoc and without your own self-worth or any of our own systems to rely on, the people’s will to resist is going to crumble and fall like a house of cards. Trends forecaster Gerald Celente likes to say it this way (LINKED): “When the people have lost everything and there’s nothing left to lose, they lose it!” But remember this, Yeshua said “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly!” He IS the only answer. If you're not relying on Him, then nothing we're saying here will work for you.
So, what is this crisis going to be? Well, it could be a major war. It could be another pandemic. Some think that it may be a major economic crisis. Anyone of these could lead to massive unemployment and even famine. Others say it could be any or all of the above. These are all listed along with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse found in Chapter 6 of the book of Revelation. If I were a betting man, I’d place my money on all of the above!
Most people think it will start as an economic crisis leading to massive unemployment. The signs are already there that this may be the case. If the government isn’t able to step in with stop gap measures, and I don’t think they will, it will likely lead to starvation in various places. Mass starvation would no doubt lead to social chaos and violence. People aren't going to just starve, they're going to try to steal and take it from others just to survive and they might be willing to kill or destroy anyone or anything that gets in their way. Worse yet, this is all by design.
Remember, the rider of the red horse of Revelation 6:3-4 takes peace from the world. With the whole world in chaos, people will then yearn for a solution. They’ll be begging for a savior. They’ll be pleading for anyone who can return them to some semblance of the life they once knew. This is just natural human nature. It will be at a time like this when everything has gone haywire that they’ll be ready to accept the mark of the beast!
“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, 17 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.”
~ Revelation 13:16-17
Being required to have a mark like this is going to lead to complete dependency. No one is going to be able to buy food or clothing. Without the mark no one can own anything or even pay their taxes. Without the mark everyone is going to be totally dependent. So if you don't develop a dependency on God, when the initial roll out of things like digital currency and the World Health Organization Health Care and/or vaccine passport programs happen, you won’t be ready to resist the harsher things that are coming our way! Most of humanity will not be able to resist it!
Now here’s an interesting twist to the situation for your consideration. Did you know that Satan
doesn't know who saved and who isn't? God's angels don't know either. Only God knows. That's why in the parable of the wheat and the tares (Matthew 13:24-30) God tells them not to uproot anyone until the Harvest has come because they don't know. So, once the mark does come out, you can expect Satan and his minions to switch from the softer techniques for converting the masses to he hard stuff to break down the resistance of anyone who wasn't willingly taking the mark, we’ll very likely see a greater loss of freedom and a marked increase in coercive measures, even torture and death. I think that’s a really safe bet too!
In Revelation 13:10 it says, “if anyone is destined for captivity into captivity he will go if anyone is to die by the sword by the sword he must be killed.” This is important! For those of you who are hanging all your hopes on a Pre-tribulation Rapture and a ticket out of here. Here we see a clear call for the perseverance and faith of the Saints. So tough days are coming for the Saints and anyone else who won't relent to force. Satan may think to himself that these people must be the elect and they're never going to take the mark so he’s just going to eliminate them because remember, according to the theory, if one person remains who can cry out to Yeshua, Satan loses.
I think that we are still in the first demoralization phase and we're quickly moving toward the destabilization of our systems phase. And once this all starts into motion, there is nothing any of us will be able to do to stop it. This has all been foreseen and foreordained and it’s going to get really ugly. Remember how society judged you that time when you didn’t just blindly take a certain medical intervention that was rushed to market and they told everyone it was “Safe and Effective?” We ain’t seen nothing yet!
And it’s not just whether or not someone is dependent on Big Pharma medical interventions and wonder drugs that is dividing people into various tribes. Another form of dependency people are falling for is being dependent on the acceptance of other people with likes and shares on social media. A lot of that is driven by what tribe you're in, you know conservative or liberal, black or white, rich or poor. Well, whether or not you take the mark of the beast is going to be all of that and more on steroids. That's going to be the determining factor as to who’s in, as the world sees it, the ultimate in-group!
Everyone not taking the mark will be labeled as an outsider a threat, a danger and your ideas are only going to have value if they conform to the ideas of the big group. If you think all this identity politics in our world is aimed at getting votes, I’m sorry to have to tell you this but, you must be a special kind of stupid! The sole purpose of identity politics is about creating groups and group thinking so they can pit one against the other to divide and conquer them. Then it will become weaponized when the group on the out with those who are in power are scapegoated, demonized and persecuted!
Look at the protests all over the world targeting Israel and those siding with Israel right now. The subtle message is that you could avoid all this discrimination if you just join with the majority. And being part of the majority requires thinking like the majority. This means giving up any ideas you might have on your own. And as we see Christian morals and ideas being demonized with ever greater frequency and this becoming the new normal, it especially means giving up on your your faith.
Now here’s the real kicker. The goal shouldn’t be to be in with the in crowd or even in the big club with everyone else. You can choose to take the green pill and wake up the next morning thinking this was all just a bad dream or you can take the red bill, stay in wonderland and see just how far down the rabbit hole goes. The goal is to be one of His and on the Lord’s side. It’s NOT a big club. It’s just a very exclusive club. The gate to enter it is straight, the way that leads to it is narrow and few there be that find it. The goal is to be one of those few who find it.
