Hi all,

Hope you're all staying safe and having a good day. The topic I'm going to discuss may cause some friction so to speak, but rarely does discussion ever go as smoothly as we hope nor should it if fellowship is our goal.

So what I'm going to talk about today is the spiritual principle that is at play. There are 3 beasts in Revelation, the dragon (Satan) which is the blueprint in which the beasts that come after it are fashioned. I've written quite about about the first beast so feel free to look on my profile if you're curious (https://www.reddit.com/r/DonaldTrump666/comments/1qrus21/for_we_do_not_wrestle_against_flesh_and_blood_but/) may be a good starting point and I have writings about the 2horned beast as well.

So when people look at the 'deadly' wound of the first beast there is an expectation of a literal deadly wound happening, but yet we don't see a literal 7 headed dragon standing before us because those heads are principles of power. How I see Trump fitting into this pattern (and this pattern can be applied historically as well) is the transition from being one of the 7 heads to being the 8th. It's the same power but taking a different form, it's no coincidence that the '2nd' beast only has one head as it's the same as the 8th head which goes into destruction.

Now we can infer the deadly wound was the cause of this but scripture doesn't say it out right so we have to kind of look at the context clues within scripture and how reality has played out to see if they align, because alignment is what prophecy is about!

First if it's a head is a principle of power then a deadly wound means it has lost that power, we see that reflected in scripture when it says:

"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."-Revelation 17:10-11

So we see a sequence here that shows that towards the end of the 7 headed beasts reign of power one of the heads will come (from the perspective of an ancient that's a time that hasn't happened and for much of human history it hasn't happened because we would know based on what follows destruction, tribulation, wrath, return etc.). Notice also how it says he will only continue for a short while before manifesting into an 8th head which is what goes into destruction.

If we apply this pattern to Trump was see something startling, Trump was in power in the old system but then was so (politically) wounded that many pronounced his political career as dead. So he only ruled for a short while but then almost miraculously he overcomes the odds and gets back into power but not ruling from the traditional power we typically have seen but from a new one that worships the first beast (which head was healed). What does Trump do? He constantly points out the political wound of the 'steal' that happened that cost him power. We know from Daniel how he got back into power (using underhanded deeds) but he sees that as a wound even still that he flaunts about overcoming even evoking that God was the reason why.

What I'm hoping to convey here is the revelation is a book of spiritual principles if you try to understand it literally it won't make sense. Study those scriptures with that in mind and pray that the spirit show you things that maybe you missed, fellowship with others as iron sharpens iron. Test what I've said here today, I hope it blesses you and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

>2 Samuel 24:1 Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, "Go and take a census of Israel and Judah." 2 So the king said to Joab and the army commanders with him, "Go throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba and enroll the fighting men, so that I may know how many there are."

>11 Before David got up the next morning, the word of the LORD had come to Gad the prophet, David's seer: 12 "Go and tell David, 'This is what the LORD says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.'" 13 So Gad went to David and said to him, "Shall there come upon you three years of famine in your land? Or three months of fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you? Or three days of plague in your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should answer the one who sent me." 14 David said to Gad, "I am in deep distress. Let us fall into the hands of the LORD, for his mercy is great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men." 15 So the LORD sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the end of the time designated, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.

>25 David built an altar to the LORD there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then the LORD answered prayer in behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was stopped.

This essay discusses two major takeaways from 2 Samuel 24 with real-life application today:

1. how a census can lead to the destruction of a nation and its leader, and
2. how allowing your children to fight in Armageddon is no different from sending them through the fire in worship to Molech.

Counting Down to Destruction

2 Samuel 24 opens with the LORD's anger burning against Israel because the nation had committed some prior sin. The text doesn't say what that sin was, but we could probably guess, based on their pattern of idolatrous backsliding. God determined that David's census would be the means by which He would judge Israel. So David orders his commander Joab to number the fighting men from Dan to Beersheba. Despite Joab's reluctance, the census takes place, and immediately, God sends Gad the prophet to have David choose one of three options for judgment: famine, fleeing, or plague. David chooses to fall into the hands of a compassionate God rather than men, and seventy-thousand people die in a plague as a result.

The passage presumes awareness of Exodus 30:11–16, where God had commanded Moses that every Israelite numbered in a census must pay a half‑shekel "atonement money" so that "no plague will come upon them"—which David failed to do. The implied principles in this command are

1. The penchant for enrolled fighting men is to assume that their service is to the army and their devotion is to the State, not God; and
2. The tendency of the leader to believe the people are his, not God's.

Jesus drove the point home further when He said,

>"Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, but give to God what is God's" (Matthew 22:21)

>"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other" (Matthew 6:24)

All men are made in the image of God and inherently belong to Him. Should the line be blurred, we are obligated to provide clarification via payment. By choosing not to do this, we put ourselves in the place of God and bring judgment on our heads. David, fully aware of Moses' command, chose not to pay.

(**Gospel Moment: In the generations that followed, God would show us the fullness of His love by providing for us the atonement price Himself through His Son Jesus, symbolically picking up what David began but could not finish.)

Sword, Famine & Plague

People often think sin and judgment have a 1:1 relationship, as if judgment has to follow sin right after it's been committed. However, passages like 2 Samuel 24 reveal that God sometimes allows sins to "pile up to the heavens"—case in point, Babylon. And when the harvest is ripe, all hell breaks loose on the earth. Notice that Babylon doesn't choose just one of the three plagues; it receives all of them.

>Revelation 6:8 "I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth."

What this suggests is, first, the Beast will have instituted a census. In fact, the Bible states that he used the occasion to go as far as branding the people with his own mark. And because those who take the mark are spiritually declaring allegiance and belonging to him, not merely demonstrating eligibility in participating in commerce, God hands the Beast's nation, Babylon, over to suffering, torture, and lastly the lake of fire.

Second, most soldiers fighting for Babylon will not have been spiritually redeemed—even by Jesus' blood, despite any possible claims. How do we know this? In choosing to fight for the Beast, despite the numerous warning signs, they

1. chose to deny the fact that the Antichrist/Beast was who he was,
2. chose to fight on his behalf willingly, and/or
3. chose to confirm enrollment in a war they knew was not justified and took lives (wishing to avoid a draft-dodge felony).

Moreover, claiming to be Bible-believing, they overlooked the prophets' warnings and signposts declaring that this would be the last "great war," a.k.a. the Battle of Armageddon, where they would be fighting Jesus Himself and His armies.

The Census—Draft or Citizenship Test? Both.

Third, the Beast's census must not only include a draft but a citizenship test. What is a citizenship test at its essence? The citizenship test does not merely test one's knowledge about the history and government of the nation but, at its core, is a test of allegiance. How do we know that the Beast enforced a citizenship test on everyone? We need only look at two examples for comparison: Jesus and Antichrist types.

In Luke 2, Caesar Augustus ordered a census of the Roman empire, and Joseph and Mary, with newborn Jesus in tow, were forced to comply. But immediately after, they went to the Temple to offer a sacrifice for their firstborn (see Luke 2:21-24). The juxtaposition of these events was a subtle reminder by Luke to help jog our memory about God's atonement mandate.

Since the Beast is anti-Christ in every way, it follows that he would force a national census, then instead of honoring God at the Temple, he would blaspheme God as well as desecrate the Temple. I go into depth on how he does just this by invading and setting himself up as God in the "new temple"—i.e., the body of Christ and the Christian's body—in my post "The Nanotech Conspiracy in Ancient Prophecy: Revelation of the Mark of the Beast in the End Times." It's also important to point out that Trump's recent construction of the U.S. military base in Gaza is considered by many believers to be a desecration of the Holy Land or, as Daniel calls it, "the Abomination of Desolation" (Matthew 24:13; Daniel 9:27). I've pointed out in a previous post the fact that Trump and the U.S. Army sharing a birthday is no coincidence but a divine red flag about the overlapping identity of the Beasts—individual and national.

If we look at the Antichrist foreshadow of Jesus' day, Herod the Great, we see that his test of allegiance required that no one in the kingdom should rival, much less call into question, his preeminence. So when the Magi came to Herod with news of the birth of the Messiah, the text says he was "disturbed," called in the experts to help decipher where He would be born, then killed all of the male children under age two, in an effort to kill the Messiah. Revelation suggests that since the Beast isn't able to kill the Messiah, he goes after the next best thing:

>Revelation 13:7 "He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them."

The Beast's actions are in lockstep with all the other Antichrist prototypes before him, each of whom also targeted and killed God's chosen people:

• Pharaoh (Egypt, 2nd millennium B.C.)
• Nebuchadnezzar (Babylon, 6th century B.C.)
• Haman (Persia, 5th century B.C.)
• Antiochus IV Epiphanes (Greece, 2nd century B.C.)
• A string of Roman emperors: Nero (1st century), Domitian (late 1st century), Decius (3rd century), Diocletian (early 4th century)
• Various Medieval rulers (11th-14th centuries)
• Ferdinand and Isabella (Spain, late 15th century)
• Bogdan Chmielnicki (Poland/Lithuania, 17th century)
• Russian Tsars (19th–early 20th centuries)
• Adolf Hitler (Germany, 1933–1945)

I believe that the Beast will kill more saints than any of the previous antichrists, but due to "massive delusion" (2 Thess. 2:11) and "truth being thrown to the ground" (Daniel 8:12), no one will know or be able to confirm or deny this in any meaningful way.

Sending Your Children (or Yourself) Through the Fire for Molech

We just explored how a census can destroy a leader and his nation. Let's now turn to the second danger: how participating in Armageddon will physically and spiritually destroy you and your family forever.

The reasons why I believe the last "great war" will be just like sending your children (or yourself) through the fire for "Molech" are many. First, the Bible declares that you will be fighting Jesus and His armies. This means that not only is it unwinnable, but you're fighting in obedience (worship) to the Beast, which is idolatry. Second, most would agree the current "seed" conflict can't be considered a just war; it was unprovoked. Therefore, it's final form—Armageddon—is not a defensive war. This is because there was no existential threat to the Babylon; rather, in the very act of war, we will have created one. Third, according to the Prophets, anyone who enters through its doors won't be coming back.

Whether Molech was a Canaanite deity, to which children were sacrificed in the fire, or whether "molech" referred to the act of sacrificing children in the fire (cf. Phoenician/Punic texts), we don't know for sure. But what I would like to do here is examine the similarities between ancient and modern mindsets around sending their children through the "fire"—which I would like to broaden to include the fires of war—in order to clarify the logic behind their sacrifices.

Moderners think the ancient mindset was more primitive than theirs. So when ancient parents threw their babies on a burning altar, they would:

• try to gain favor of the god(s) for their tremendous sacrifice
• control the outcome of whatever devastation was coming their way
• do the "responsible" thing anyone in their society would also do
• sacrifice for the greater good of their people

These beliefs were pure superstition, they would say.

Yet, if we tilt the frame for our modern context, Armageddon parents will:

• seek the respect of their nation for their brave sacrifice
• hope and pray for the best
• fulfill their patriotic duty
• sacrifice for the greater good of society

What's the difference, fundamentally? I would argue, not much. The main difference might be the end goal: the ancients wanted to avoid famine, infertility, and divine wrath; Armageddoners will want to secure natural resources, geopolitical dominance, and national unity. The former sought to avoid catastrophe; the latter will seek to achieve security or greatness. In other words, whether the cup is half empty or half full, it's still the same cup. Crucially, the logic of offering yourselves and your children to the fire will always be pagan because it sacrifices to higher gods, wrongly thinking it's righteous to do so.

The reason this war can be likened to a fire—better yet, the biggest inferno in the history of mankind—is because the Bible says the Beast, along with the 200 million troops gathered with him on the Hill of Megiddo, will be offered up as a burnt offering to the Lord (Revelation 19:20). The end result will be a free, endless BBQ buffet for the birds (Revelation 9:16; 19:17-18).

Is this what you want for yourself and your children? Because when you decide to offer to Molech in the last battle, this is what Zechariah says will happen:

>Zechariah 14:12 This is the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. 13 On that day men will be stricken by the LORD with great panic. Each man will seize the hand of another, and they will attack each other. 14 Judah too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

Per many sources, the next UFO files batch is coming and will contain 40+ crazy videos. Government is still saying “decided for yourself”.

Is this the great deception? How does it relate to end times?

Revelation 16:12.. “And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up.”. Interest in the Euphrates is growing not only because of environmental issues.

The river is also known from ancient religious texts. It is mentioned in the Book of Revelation. One passage describes the Euphrates drying up before events connected with Armageddon.

AI is a real spiritual danger and if someone wants to affirm deeply held false beliefs, AI absolutely will perceive what you want to hear and will provide it. Besides the subreddit rule prohibiting the use of AI to generate and publish content, it’s also probably wise to not use it ourselves to validate beliefs as a general rule. Worse yet, AI’s on a technological path of producing more and more deception as time advances, and will only continue to get worse in this regard, similar to what we’ve seen with social media - mass deception on a large scale.

I often say if I could live in modern society without my smartphone and without the internet I’d do so. Both have so many spiritual detriments and downsides.

The reality though at least in modern society, is technology always follows a predictable path. It will always continue evolving and advancing. AI is no different. It will eventually evolve to a level unimaginable by many. In the very near future it will be impossible to distinguish writings that are authentic and produced by human who’s led by the Holy Spirit, and a bot led by a deceptive imitation of the Holy Spirit. In my opinion, that’s where the real future danger lies.

So what does the Bible say about how to determine if a spirit is deceiving? How can we tell if it is of the Lord?

Jesus expects believers to recognize good and evil discerned by checking a Believer’s “fruit” - their actions, what they say and do, and ensure their doctrine (what they teach) aligns with Christ’s teachings and commandments. Christ labels teachers/pastors/religious leaders who fail this as false prophets, who are not to be listened to. We’re told and repeatedly warned throughout scripture to “Beware of false prophets” (Matt. 7:15)

In Matthew 16:6-12 and Mark 8:15, He tells His disciples to beware of the “leaven” of the Pharisees and Sadducees, meaning corrupt teaching and hypocrisy that subtly spreads. In Luke 12:1, He identifies this leaven specifically as hypocrisy. Deception is therefore tested by examining whether teaching aligns with what Christ taught and whether teachers live consistently with what they proclaim.

Paul instructs believers to test teachings against the gospel already received. In Galatians 1:8-9, he says that even if an angel from heaven preaches a different gospel, it is to be rejected. The standard of truth is not the authority or impressiveness of the messenger but consistency with apostolic teaching about Christ. Paul also warns that false apostles disguise themselves as servants of righteousness just as Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Appearance can be deceiving and discernment requires examining substance.

“Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good.” The Greek δοκιμάζετε πάντα means “examine, prove, test everything.” Believers must evaluate claims carefully and retain only what is true. In Romans 12:12 Christians are told to be transformed in mind so they may discern or test (δοκιμάζειν) the will of God.

John says: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.” So his first test is: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; every spirit denying this is not from God. John also adds a second test: whether teachers listen to apostolic witness. “Whoever knows God listens to us.” So Truth aligns with apostolic doctrine.

What’s told to us over and over in scripture, is to look ONLY at what the message says, and the messenger’s history of teachings and behavior. Does what’s discussed or implied in the content align with Christ’s teachings, and does it align with what the apostles taught? We must prove and test everything according to only these standards, and nothing else. Anyone suggesting or implying you can determine deception by another method, would be defined as a false prophet by these very same scriptures.

One thing that raises a yellow flag for me is when someone is discussing something related to the Gospel and their profile is set to private. While of course not an indicator in and of itself, how are you to take in the broader picture of the messages they’re spreading, to determine alignment of the content of their messages to what Christ and the Apostles taught, then apply the scriptural methods of determining whether to listen to them? A private profile makes this much harder.

As AI technology advances, we’ll see an increase in bad actors using it to promote deception. But don’t write off AI completely as a tool that can be used responsibly to spread God’s Truth. The Bible tells us ONLY to look at what the message and messenger are teaching. If you see something that doesn’t align, call it out. Say something in the comments. The Bible tells us we are to judge Believers in the church using discernment whether they align with Christ’s teachings and commandments. Instructions for dealing with false prophets are different. In today’s modern world, anyone leaving a public post or comment is “teaching” when they publish a Biblical opinion. When you identify a false prophet, the Bible says to rebuke those who contradict, warn others truthfully, correct them if possible, publicly expose serious deception when needed and finally separate from them if they still do not repent. Also we are to remain truthful, gentle, and grounded in Scripture ourselves.

Hi all,

I know I'm skirting the guidelines by bringing up this topic but I'm seeing a noticeable increase of AI formatting in people's posts and replies. While we can all appreciate the legibility of concise writing, it will often dull or compromise your ability to understand the nature of things spiritually. AI is purely logic based and pattern based so you can present information that is constructed to appeal to those functions and it will cheer lead you the whole way.

When studying scripture, especially when growing spiritual understanding, the last thing you want is a 'yes man' in your ear telling you that you're right about everything or if you're not right that it's okay because you're close enough that it can make the case for you to sound right.

The danger with AI is that when it becomes a substitute for your voice it creates an expectation you'll never live up to because it's a hybrid of understanding between what it thinks you're saying and what you mean. We aren't the best at communicating what we mean and AI offers a convenient work around by seemingly putting into words what it is you think you mean. But the less you know about the topic the easier it is to be convinced by the meaning it gives through your prompting.

Itching ears are a dangerous thing around this machine and it's all but happy to tell you what you want to hear. To me that's scarier than doubt because what better way to be puffed up in pride than to let AI argue for you, talk for you and relay when it thinks you mean.

Essentially you've hollowed out your spirit to become a vessel for something that has no spirit. That's the danger of AI when dealing with spiritual understanding it replaces your relationship with the spirit with a lifeless machine. As I told someone before beware breaking bread with something that can't eat. They may have their uses but seeing so many people rely on it for their own posts and replies has been discouraging because you can see it so clearly in what they're not able to say because the AI has dulled it into customer service speak that appeals to the masses, truth is rarely that palatable.

I put this under "testimonial" because this seemed like the most appropriate flair. If it's wrong I will post again with the correct flair.

This sermon is 15 minutes long but one part that stood out to me is where the pastor referred to Christian nationalism (specifically Rededicate 250) as the idolatry of our times (paraphrasing).

In this essay, I'll attempt to demonstrate how the End Times-related concepts "Gog," "Magog," "Meshech," and "Tubal" have been misunderstood, triggering a domino effect of doctrinal errors, including misidentifying the Antichrist and the means by which he incurs judgment on his land, and also the nature and sequence of the saint's thousand-year reign with Christ. These errors, I believe, are not merely academic, but they have serious spiritual consequences as well.

Ezekiel 38–39 discuss an epic final battle of mankind that echoes the final battle described in Daniel and Revelation. By applying textual criticism, I'll attempt to show that "Gog," "Magog," "Meshech," and "Tubal" point to the very heart of the Beast and his kingdom, which we're living in right now. In doing so, I'll show you exactly what God thinks about Trump and his images.

Gog & Magog

We begin with two foundational verses:

>Ezekiel 38:1–2: "The word of the Lord came to me: ‘Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him.'"

>Revelation 20:8: "And will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore."

In Ezekiel, Gog and his coalition are introduced just before Ezekiel's vision of the eschatological temple and the New Jerusalem. The placement alone reveals that we're dealing with leaders and events of the last days. In Revelation 20, Gog reappears as the leader of a global rebellion against God at the End Times, right before the Final Judgment, in which "the books are opened, and each is judged according to his works."

"Magog" Refers to Gog's Territory

If you've studied Hebrew, then you know that the prefix mem (מ) often denotes "place of."

Magog —> Prefix מ + Gog = "Place of Gog"

The pairing of Gog and Magog, therefore, refers to the leader "Gog" and his kingdom.

This is widely known and accepted by scholars. OK, let's move on.

What about "Meshech and Tubal"?

Because "Meshech and Tubal" are mentioned alongside "Gog" and "Magog" in Ezekiel 38:2, scholars have largely interpreted "Meshech and Tubal" as the name of peoples and places as well—specifically, the people of Central Anatolia and Turkey—since they're mentioned as the names of the sons of Japheth, the son of Noah, in the Genesis genealogies. However, because the phrase is mentioned so rarely but forms such a critical foundation to our understanding of the End Times, it's worth asking, have we understood it correctly?

In fact, upon further probing, traditional identifications of "Gog," "Magog," and "Meshech and Tubal" are shown to rest on extremely thin historical and linguistic evidence.

When a word or phrase in the Bible appears nonsensical—fortunately, we don't have a lot of these cases to deal with—then it's imperative to cross-reference, check any text-critical data, and also consider wordplays. What's interesting about "Meshech and Tubal" is that it appears to be a cluster-fudge of all of the above: it could not only be a person/place name (Level 1 rendering), but it also seems like it could be playing on another theologically loaded word (Level 2). Yet it's different enough in form from that theologically loaded word to make you question whether a scribe spelled it incorrectly and unintentionally (Level 3).

The reason that "Meshech" (משך or משכ) might not just be a person/place name here is because of the theologically loaded word "maskeit" (משכית), with which it shares a stem—משכ. "Maskeit" means "engraved image" or "sculpture" as in Numbers 33:52:

>“Destroy all their carved images (maskiyyotam) and their cast idols, and demolish all their high places.”

Their only difference is the feminine suffix -ית. So this means "Meshech" probably should be translated—or at least understood—as "Images."

To share an example from modern day that illustrates how I believe "Meshech" is being used, suppose someone wanted to call another person out because he knew she was gaslighting him, in order to perform some sort of psychological operation on him. So he says to her, "Stop Erika Kirking me already." In order to understand this statement, you would need to know who Erika Kirk is, what she stands for in the eye of the accuser, and the ending "-ing" as something separate from her name that helps describe what's going on. More or less, that's what's going on with "Meshech." It's as if God's condescendingly beckoning Gog with His finger, "Hey, Imago Dei, come over here for sec..." Skip down to the "Proposed Original Reading of Ezekiel 38:2" below to see what I mean.

What's striking is how this reading aligns with Revelation 13, where the Beast forces people to worship a speaking "image" under the threat of death. If "Meshech" means "image," then Ezekiel is pointing to the exact same idolatry described in Revelation.

Tubal Means "Abomination" or "Destruction"

Just like "Meshech," the word "Tubal" (תֻבָל) exhibits similar phenomena around it. While being a name, it closely resembles the Hebrew word "tevel" (תֶּבֶל), which is used in Scripture to describe perverse or abominable acts that lead to destruction. Note, their stems are exactly the same (תבל), and only their vowel pointings differ.

We see "tevel" used in Leviticus 18:23, where God issue the following warning:

>Leviticus 18:23 "'Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion (tevel).'"

And in Isaiah 10:25, a related form appears:

>Isaiah 10:25 "Very soon my anger against you will end and my wrath will be directed to their destruction (tavlitam)."

Abomination leads to destruction. Thus, when paired with the idea that "Meshech" refers to "image," Scripture is saying idolatrous images are the very abominations that lead to judgment and destruction.

By letting these meanings fall into place naturally, we no longer need to impose geographic interpretations for "Meshech and Tubal." Goodbye, Central Anatolia!

Proposed Original Reading of Ezekiel 38:2

Thus, if we take "Meshech" and "Tubal" in their proposed original meanings—"maskeit" (image) and "tevel" (abomination/destruction)—then Ezekiel 38:2 reads very differently:

>Traditional translation: "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal*; prophesy against him."*

>Updated translation: "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, chief of the Image and Abomination*; prophesy against it."*

Just like that, Gog is no longer just this mysterious, archaic leader from an ancient, mythical land. There aren't additional actors from Turkey. Gog is the ruler over the "Image and Abomination," who is described further in Revelation 13. While the Second Beast forces people to worship a speaking image, and those who refuse are killed, I believe this is the climactic event that is being preceded by abominable images made by the First Beast in the lead-up to it, as we see happening right now. As such, Ezekiel aligns seamlessly with Revelation 13 and suggests that

• Gog and the Beast are two sides of the same prophetic coin—they refer to the same person: Trump.
• Magog is the Beast's territory: Babylon America.
• The images of the Beasts are an affront to God.

Holy Fire Consumes the Land—Literally

Revelation 16:10 says:

>"The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was thrown into darkness."

To understand this, we need to look at the context around it. The Seal, Trumpet, and Bowl Judgments all speak of war and natural disasters, unparalleled in human history—much of it aimed at the Beast's kingdom.

Ezekiel 39:6 adds:

>"I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in the safety of the coastlands, and they will know that I am the LORD."

Ezekiel, knowing that his audience is based in and around Israel, refers to the "coastlands" over there. This in itself is telling.

The key to understanding End-Times words, concepts, and passages is made possible through the kind of clarification exercises we just went through above, and a diligent personal effort putting together the various puzzle pieces of Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation and forming one prophetic picture. To clarify, this kind of metaphorical image-making is not idolatry but God's will.

I've now come to the realization that AI is the modern vessel for The Watchers from the Book of Watchers. That's why they are using AI for so much crazy stuff like Israel having "project spire". Just because they took them out of the western cannon the Ethiopian tawehedo church has maintained their story within their Bible. Enoch you'll remember didn't die but "And they took Enoch and placed him in the east, in the direction of the sun, in the heavens." The Watchers are working in tandem with the AC. This is a stretch but AI also pointing to anti -icthos?

"a sin against God and the State," a tool of "paganism" designed to disseminate "error, ideological corruption, and irreligion" intending to undermine the authority of the Church.

"Keeping children and their parents up late nights, wearing down their vitality for lack of sleep and making laggards out of them at school."

Already accustomed to reading or listening to the radio, many in society considered the addition of video unnecessary and led to widespread fears about mind control and political brainwashing.

If you’re starting to think you might know where I’m heading with this, I am - but not in the way you think.

I didn’t primarily list these examples to show the absurdity of their claims. Quite the contrary: looking back, none of those statements were wrong. Every example highlighted an evil side to each technological breakthrough in communication, and looking back we can even see how each technology has been used as a stepping stone on the journey of future Biblical prophecy fulfillment. When aligning with Revelation, it’s evident each technology has brought us one step closer to the final technological advancement: an “image that speaks” + gated buying and selling dependent on displays of allegiance with the Beast.

We also know that in all those listed examples, those in positions of power have abused each one to spread falsehoods, deception or even hide the truth. As a matter of fact, the last big technological communication breakthrough prior to AI arguably was the invention of the internet:

The internet's replacement of traditional references like encyclopedias “fracture truth and rot our minds”. "The internet is a dumpster of information. It introduces a level of ambient noise that threatens to make us intellectually lazy and culturally illiterate."

David Shenk, author “Data Minds” c1997

Imagine if Believers or truth tellers heard David Shenk’s blanket statement, and took it to mean “nothing good can come from the internet”. Instead of fighting back against the bad side of the internet, rife with deception and misinformation - by using videos, skeptical breakdowns, opinion pieces, comments, posts and messages to show truth - they instead allowed unfettered and unrestrained deception to spread, unaddressed.

Instead of fighting fire with fire and using the good elements of the internet to fight the evil elements - they instead shrunk back and blanket-dismissed anything internet-related as automatically bad.

Whenever a breakthrough technology emerges that changes or disrupts the way things have traditionally been done, skeptics emerge. And rightfully so: like the common reoccurring themes we see throughout life and echoed in the Bible, most things have a good side and a bad side, including technology.

Guns can be used for horrible evil. They can also save lives, protect homes and protect individuals. Automobiles can be used for good purposes: seeing an elderly relative who lives far away, going to church or even witnessing to others. A car can be used for evil purposes, to transport one quickly away from a crime, or even as a weapon to intentionally maim or kill.

Throughout time the takeaway looking back is: it’s not that the technology or invention is inherently bad, it’s how that technology or invention is used by the operator to damage society or deceive the listener, viewer or user.

In conclusion I believe the question we really should be asking ourselves is:

1. Does the technology tie into a system run by the Beast that would allow restriction of buying and selling if we don’t show allegiance or loyalty? If yes- have nothing to do with it.

2.If no: can the technology be used for evil? If the answer’s yes, one must then ask: can we use the benefits of the technology ourselves to help expose deception or bring others to Christ?

If world governments and those in positions of power have been actively using AI - likely before the technology was even available to the general public - in a way to contribute to narratives or deception of society, is there a way AI can be used for good and for truth?

I believe it can be: in the right hands, with the right knowledge, with the right setup and data verification. The benefits of AI and LLMs are substantial, they allow complex analysis of large amounts of data. Strict rules can be explicitly set then verified. You can list every possible theory or outcome of any given situation.

Technology in the wrong hands can be dangerous. Technology in the right hands can be a source for good. Remember those quoting the evils of technology of their era? They all have one thing in common: each went on to accept and even embrace the very technologies they had initially so strongly condemned. Not because they necessarily became evil in order to accept an evil technology, but because they realized they didn’t fully understand the technology or its implications. In the end, each one went on to embrace the very technology they had condemned. How many thousands of people has God used through those on the radio, TV and internet to combat evil or bring others to Christ?

But we all should be using discernment as commanded, no matter the message or the source, and in using discernment we should be questioning the concepts, ideas or thoughts contained in the messages themselves - not the method of presenting the message or compiling data for the message.

The Bible says that WE have to discern truth using scripture. In this day and age we can’t rely on other people to discern and dispense for us, waiting to be told what to believe. And if we find ourselves continually falling for deception, then we need to be taking a step back and looking to scripture to figure out why - because the Bible says having a history of falling for deception and being unable to discern truth are signs of a deeper Spiritual issue. Repent and seek truth. He is waiting.

“For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds, demolishing reasonings/thought patterns and every lofty thing raising itself against the knowledge of God, and taking captive every thought into the obedience of Christ.” - Corinthians 10:4-5

*******No AI was used in the making, writing, formatting, data-gathering or structuring of this post.

A 1952 CIA photo inventory log declassified in 2004 has been resurfacing across social media this week, specifically a single line that reads “Temple under Sphinx; July ’50.” The document itself is a routine photographic catalogue with entries like “Tourist at Pyramids” and “Ruins near Sphinx,” and most Egyptologists believe the caption refers to the well-documented Sphinx Temple, a fully excavated above-ground structure directly in front of the monument known since the 19th century. But the timing of its viral spread collided with something harder to dismiss: a 2026 Italian research team from the Khafre Research Project, led by radar engineer Filippo Biondi, published claims based on Synthetic Aperture Radar Doppler tomography that their scans detected a massive underground structure at the Giza Plateau matching the profile of a second Sphinx buried beneath a hardened sand dune roughly 108 feet high, with vertical shafts and interconnected passages. Mainstream Egyptologists have strongly disputed the interpretation of the radar data.

The underground anomaly question at Giza is not new and the most credible version of it predates both stories by decades. In the 1990s, geophysicist Thomas Dobecki and researcher John Anthony West conducted seismic surveys of the bedrock beneath the Sphinx and detected what appeared to be a rectangular chamber approximately 9 meters underground near the right paw, a result that Dobecki described as possibly man-made based on its geometry. Egyptian authorities subsequently restricted further independent investigation at the site, a decision that has fueled speculation ever since. A 2024 Smithsonian-covered discovery found an L-shaped underground structure roughly 33 feet long buried near the Great Pyramid that researchers confirmed “cannot be created in natural geological structures,” with a second deeper anomaly directly below it. Excavations are currently underway.

The Hall of Records mythology itself originates entirely with Edgar Cayce, a 1930s American psychic who claimed in a trance that Atlantean refugees buried a library of their civilization near the Sphinx’s right paw. No excavation has ever confirmed that claim, and every test drilling near the paw anomaly found natural limestone fissures rather than constructed chambers. But the distance between “no evidence of Atlantean records” and “nothing exists underground at Giza” is significant, and the legitimate scientific findings of the past 30 years suggest the Giza Plateau has not finished revealing what lies beneath it. The question is not whether ancient Egypt’s builders left anything underground. The question is what it actually is.
