The Battle for Your Soul!
By Pastor Gary Boyd
The Great Tribulation is Daniel 12:1b, which says, “And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time.” It seems that Jesus was quoting this verse when He spoke the words recorded in Matthew 24:21. Also referring to the Great Tribulation is Jeremiah 30:7, “Alas! for that day is great, There is none like it, And it is the time of Jacob’s distress, But he will be saved from it.” The phrase “Jacob’s distress” refers to the nation of Israel, which will experience persecution and natural disasters such as have never before been seen.
While 10’s of millions of Americans and countless more people around the world ‘slept‘, we’ll posit here with sourced backing in the story below that George Orwell’s ‘constant surveillance system‘ from his book “1984” has been built up all around us with the CIA long-funding cutting-edge technology firms and China now ‘big tech’s‘ BETA-testing ground for what will soon be coming to America, with it already being unveiled in stages over the past decade and still today as this story is being written.
According to Wikipedia's entry for ‘Big Brother‘ from Orwell’s book “1984“, in the society that Orwell describes, every citizen is under constant surveillance by the authorities, mainly by telescreens. With that entry reminding us of this new story over at the website “Study Finds“ that the Drudge Report had linked to on Tuesday, which reports that the average American spends half of their ‘awake‘ hours every day staring at screens, how long will it be before the government openly admits as Orwell’s government did in “1984“, “Big Brother Is Watching You!“?
And while in modern culture, the term “Big Brother” has become a synonym for the rampant and seemingly never-ending abuse of government power, particularly in respect to mass surveillance, ‘privacy‘ is gone forever as Steve Quayle warns us we have literally been caught in an electronic prison of our own making. And what is happening now in China with social credit scores following the Chinese people wherever they go is absolutely a BETA test for what ‘big tech‘ and the g*******ts have coming to America.
And we find it concerning that in Orwell’s 1984 and the ‘telescreens‘ forever watching us we see a very concerning parallel with recent remarks made by Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill who warned that the ‘antichrist‘ will control human beings through ‘gadgets‘ and it will be our very dependence upon modern technologies that will ‘usher the antichrist in‘.
With America clearly now having reached the point in time warned about by former CIA Director William J. Casey back in February of 1981 when he said “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false“, privacy is clearly gone forever in 2019 due largely to the CIA’s ownership and partnership with every big tech/spy tech company in the world as we’ll see detailed and sourced below.
While the mainstream media might call it ‘f**e news’, as we reported on ANP back on April 12th of 2018, the ties between Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘facebook’ and the ‘deep state’ are undeniable with ‘facebook‘ being created the day after the Pentagon k**led a project by DARPA called “Lifelog“, a project which aimed to database every facet of people’s lives. From that story:
All the way back on February 4th of 2004, Wired.com reported that the Pentagon had k**led off its ambitious ‘LifeLog’ project following a massive outcry from civil libertarians over the Pentagon’s plans: to build a database that tracked a person’s ‘entire existence’.
Run by DARPA, the Defense Department’s Advanced Research arm, LifeLog aimed to gather in a single place just about everything an individual says, sees or does: the phone calls made, the TV shows watched, the magazines read, the plane tickets bought, the e-mail sent and received. The Wikipedia entry for LifeLog takes it even further:
According to its bid solicitation pamphlet, it was to be “an ontology-based (sub)system that captures, stores, and makes accessible the flow of one person’s experience in and interactions with the world in order to support a broad spectrum of associates/assistants and other system capabilities.''
The objective of the LifeLog concept was “to be able to trace the ‘threads’ of an individual’s life in terms of events, states, and relationships”, and it has the ability to “take in all of a subject’s experience, from phone numbers dialed and e-mail messages viewed to every breath taken, step made and place gone.”
While researchers close to the DARPA project said they weren’t sure why the project was dropped at the end of January of 2004 with DARPA never providing an ‘official explanation’ as to why the ambitious project was quietly canceled, it’s likely much more than just a coincidence that Mark Zuckerberg officially founded Facebook on February 4th, the very day of the Wired story.
Back on February 18th of 2016, Susan Duclos had published this story on ANP titled “From Cashless Society To K*****g People According To Meta-Data ‘Skynet’ Is Real, It Is Live And It Has Already Taken Control – CIA, Google, Facebook Connections” within which she pointed out the ties between the CIA, big tech and the ‘Skynet’ that is still being created all around us while warning that people’s ‘meta-data‘ alone was getting them k**led.
Isaiah puts it succinctly: “They have chosen their own ways, and their souls delight in their a*********ns; so I [God] also will choose harsh treatment for them and bring upon them what they dread. For when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, no one listened. They did evil in My sight and chose what displeases Me” (Isaiah 66:3-4).
“When men know the t***h and refuse to receive it, when they refuse to obey it and hold it in unrighteousness, “they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the t***h” (2 Thessalonians 2:12 NLT).
“God is love” (1 John 4:16). He is not some cruel monster who deliberately and inwardly delights in preparing people for everlasting condemnation. But He earnestly and lovingly proclaims the gospel of Christ, “not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
Throughout the Scriptures, God urges people to accept the t***h. But when people reject Him and spurn His message, then—and not until then—God hardens them and turns them over to a reprobate deluded mind to wallow in their wickedness to their eternal damnation. This is what the Lord says about those who choose to reject the t***h: “They greatly love to wander; they do not restrain their feet. So the Lord does not accept them; He will now remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins” (Jeremiah 14:10).
The man of lawlessness in 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12 is the Antichrist who will come on the world scene at the beginning of the Day of the Lord. This Day, sometimes called the “end times,” starts after the rapture of the church in 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11). It is good to note that the Day of the Lord is not a twenty-four-hour period of time; rather, it is an extended period of time that includes the seven-year tribulation, the return of Christ to put down all r*******n against Him, the 1,000-year reign of Christ on earth, the final defeat of Satan, and the Great White Throne Judgment.
The Antichrist is given the title “man of lawlessness” because he will oppose in every way the biblical God and His law. He will be completely lawless. Daniel 7 speaks of this man as a “boastful” king who will “try to change the set times and the laws” (verses 11 and 25). He will come offering a false peace to the world and will with his charismatic personality, incredible promises, and breathtaking miracles unite all nations politically, economically, and religiously under his leadership. At the same time, he will make a covenant with Israel for 7 years (cf. Daniel 9:27, where “seven” indicates seven years). In the middle of the seven years, the man of lawlessness will break his covenant with Israel, stop their sacrifices (Daniel 9:27), and enter the temple to set himself up as “god” and demand worship (2 Thessalonians 2:4). This is the “a*********n that causes desolation” that Jesus spoke of in Mark 13:14.
Satan works through the Antichrist, for Satan himself is not able to become incarnate (embody or represent a deity or spirit in human form.)
By possessing and controlling the Antichrist, Satan is worshiped in the temple where the biblical God is to be worshiped. No wonder the Antichrist is called the man of lawlessness. To act as “god” is the ultimate rejection of the biblical God’s character and laws.
This action of the Antichrist will cause an upheaval in his worldwide kingdom, and forces from the East (China, India) will gather to fight against him. But instead of fighting each other, the forces of the world unite to fight the King of kings and Lord of lords, who comes to put down the man of lawlessness and his allies at the second coming in the great battle of Armageddon (Revelation 16:16; 19:19). Of course, the man of lawlessness loses that battle. He and his false prophet are then cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 19:20). The Word of God (Revelation 19:13), Jesus Christ, will be the Victor.
Conclusion
A quick observation of the happenings in our world today reveals that lawlessness is on the rise. Such lawlessness will continue and increase (2 Timothy 3:13), and when the man of lawlessness appears on the scene, he will be welcomed with open arms. Those who have rejected the true Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, will fall for the Antichrist’s empty promise of peace. It is vitally important that each of us is sure that we have accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and are living for Him. “Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come” (Mark 13:33).
The people spreading concrete information on the dangers of globalism are accomplishing far more than those sitting around buying bitcoin or passing around Q-cult nonsense. Remember Satan wants the world and he wants it NOW! He knows his time is short and is desperate to accomplish his goals to have everyone follow him into hell! It is the battle for your soul!
