Demagogue: a strategy for gaining political power by appealing to the prejudices, emotions, fears, and expectations of the public. The demagogue usually uses rhetoric and propaganda with a nationalist or populist theme to it. These can even border on Religious themes.
Dialogue: from ancient Greek, dialogos, meaning conversation or discourse. From the word logos, meaning word.
Darkness increases,
Its power reaches to all the Earth!
The rise of Evil continues,
The veil holding it back is reduced.
More and more, the Specter approaches.
Yet, many do not see Him!
This is time for Gods people,
Yes, it is time,
Put away your foolish things,
Seek the LORD,
Drawing nigh to him.
There is no Hope outside of our Father,
Blessed be He and His Son Jesus Christ,
Our LORD, Savior, and Reigning King!
Blessed be Y’Shua Ha Massiach.
Was there ever a kingdom so powerful as Rome? Was ever again a time when society itself was ruled in such power in the earth? There have been many such kingdoms, but surely the early church, its Apostles, and the believers all felt the presence of evil. They knew what darkness was. They knew what control was, by a government. They understood hatred, bloodshed, violence, and opposition. They knew foreign Gods and the idol worship that ensnared many a people. But they had also experienced the true power of the LIVING God. It was a birth of tremendous magnitude when the Son of God came to this earth to reveal the ‘love of the Father’ and the ‘truth of salvation’.
It was that pivotal point in the history of mankind that changed everything. Before that point, the keys of death and hell were not in the hands of the Son of God. Before the cross, man had to fear this thing called death. The enemy of our soul seemed to have free will to cross over and deal blows to humanity. But in the plans of the LORD God, permanent redemptive history would be made through the death of Y’SHUA Ha Massiach, Jesus Christ on the cross. By dying for our sins and meeting all the legal aspects of the law in the process, this Lamb of God, forever changed the fact. This fact can be spelled out in three words, S-I-N! Yes, he conquered the SIN problem of the human race. But, man being given free will still was able to choose not to avail themselves of this deliverance. Evil grew, and at times the pure essence of evil was not allowed to peak its ugly head up out of the ground from whence it hid.
We get a glimpse of pure evil and rebellion in ‘Lucifer’s statement’ of the five “I Wills” found in Isaiah!
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms
In this section the Prophet Isaiah mentions ‘Lucifer, son of the morning’ and brings us a picture of this ‘lightbearer’ who rebels against the LORD God!
He said in his heart:
1. I will ascend into heaven
2. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God
3. I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation
4. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds
5. I will be like the most High
This small section gives us look into the pride of ‘Lucifer’. Pride so great he is blinded from the truth. Pride so great he dares to threaten the MOST HIGH by saying his own throne will be as God himself. Yet in all this, we find the LORD God who in his own infinite wisdom does not destroy this nay saying boaster who will be able to destroy kingdoms and make the earth to tremble. Scripture doesn’t let us know why God did not just destroy, from the start of his rebellion, this one called ‘Lucifer’. Even in Revelation after the Beast and False prophet are taken, they are put in the lake of fire, but the Dragon, aka ‘Lucifer’, is just put in chains for a 1000 years. Even here we see he is not destroyed right away. It is not until after the 1000 years and the last attempt of the Dragon to destroy the ‘city of God’, that he is finally and completely eradicated by being put into the lake of fire!
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Right now as we speak the darkness arouses all its forces. Every Principality and power, every ruler of the darkness of this world, and all the spiritual wickedness is on full alert and attack. They sense their day is arriving. Finally after so long of a time, finally after losing ground in heaven against God, they see their own chance of winning the battle. They will strive to destroy all God has created. They will move to delude humanity and bring Gods chosen creation in rebellion against their own creator. They will bring with them a platform of ‘lawlessness’ and ‘pride’. All of it established upon the words of the five ‘I wills’ found in Isaiah.
Two major words sum up all the Five “I wills” found in the Prophet Isaiah’s writings which refer to ‘Lucifer’. Two small words that will let anyone see what is really going on. Want to know who is of darkness? Want to know who the Anti Christ or Son of Perdition is? Want to know how to recognize him? Well if you understand these two words then your well on your way right there. What are these two words? The first one is “Lawlessness” and the second one is “Pride”. There are three other words that fit this phrase in Isaiah, but these two will stand out as beacons to let anyone know who is looking for them, just who it is that has these qualities!
The Man of Lawlessness:
We see this man as one of pure lawlessness. But this will be a lawlessness against the laws of God. Whatever God has commanded, this one will be against it and his schemes will bring man to their own level of complete rebellion against God by following it. We further find this ‘lawlessness’ in its prima facie evidence when the devil comes to Jesus in the wilderness.
Satan arrives and challenges Jesus as the Son of God and expects to see a miracle! The Lord speaks a truth that all believers today must grasp, ‘man does not live on bread alone, but the true bread from heaven says, “man will live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God”. In all these ‘dialogues’ between Jesus Christ and the demigod Satan, the rulership of God is challenged on every level. Challenged by miracle, challenged by misquoting scripture, and challenged by directly offering Jesus all the world has to offer in order to get Jesus to worship Satan. Here we see Satan tempting Jesus with the ‘lust of the flesh’, eat to fill the hunger that had touched him during and after the 40 day fast. We see the pride of life, with Satan telling him to throw himself down if he is indeed who he says he is, saying that if he is God’s son then the angels will lift him up and keep him from falling. Finally Satan tempts Jesus with the ‘lust of the eyes’ offering him all that he could see in the world, their kingdoms, power, and riches, if only he would worship Satan.
Matthew 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Satan Challenges the Son of God directly and his claims! He does so with scripture, quoting it as well! Here Satan challenges the fact of the Godhood of Christ Jesus. The LORD answered Satan back, ‘thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God’. Here the Lord Jesus directly associated himself with the “the Lord thy God.”
Matthew 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Satan Challenges and brings to the table the gifts of this world if people would just fall down and worship him. This breaks the first commandment! There is only one God, him alone will you worship and him alone will you serve. Here Jesus Christ, Y’SHUA Ha Massiach again directly associates himself with the Lord thy God and serving him.
Matthew 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Make no mistake, the Son of perdition, the beasts of Revelation, the Anti Christ will come. They will delude the world. But the one prime quality that will stand out for you to recognize him and his partners is ‘lawlessness’. The beast will be directly opposed to the true, complete, and holy reign of our God, the Father and his only begotten son, Jesus Christ; Y’SHUA Ha Massiach. By this will you know who he is. This is also the main identifier of all Anti Christ Spirits as well. They will deny any right of law and commandment the LORD God has given. They will carry out a plan of complete ‘lawlessness’ of the LORD God and his commandments.
The fact is, the Evil one coming as a deceiver will appear as an ‘angel of light’, and set himself up in Gods temple, declaring himself to be God. But the one fact he will not be able to hide from the beginning of this delusion is the fact that he will be totally and completely ‘lawless’ to the Commands of the LORD God. He will break them, and teach humanity it is okay in the process! He will start with the main commandment, “love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, all thy mind, and all thy soul”, thus breaking “you will have no other Gods before me”.
But be cautioned and forewarned here: He will sound good, it will feel good, and he will offer you all the world to get you to follow him! In this case, in Revelation, in order to buy or sell, you will need his mark etc.
The man of Pride:
When Satan challenged Jesus, he made no exit strategy. That is, he directly, intentionally, and deliberately came to see, tempt, and break down this invader to his realm. He was the strong man that Jesus spoke about in the gospels. He was the one ‘who fell as lightening’ to the earth. Yet, this evil one was not going to stop from coming at this one who called himself the “Son of God.”
His own pride and attitude, one born out of his fall and own sin, led him to believe he could destroy this invader’s attack on his own sovereignty. His own pride still brings him to believe he will still fulfill the five “I wills” in Isaiah. He is not fearful of quoting scripture nor of anyone who does it also. What does bring him anguish is the fact of Christians who quote scripture with faith, believing. The seed of God, the Word of God with faith, planted will bring a harvest and not one word of God will fail in its duty to bring in a harvest.
Although this coming evil one will have delusion, demons, and human’s in dark places on his side, he will still have to wage war. He has done so since the beginning of time. Yet, let me put a word of the Apostle Paul here:
2 Thessalonians 3:1 ¶Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
I specifically point out that the Apostle wanted prayer. Part of this prayer was to be delivered from the wickedness of men, from those who have not faith. But also the Apostle tells us that the Lord is faithful. It is the Lord who as we are walking and surrounded by evil and evil men will establish us and keep us from evil. Yes, it may assail us, but if we are in the LORD it will never defeat us!
I point out at this time as well the scripture in Revelation which tells us pointedly that we ‘overcame’ the evil one! How do we do this?
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 ¶Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
I want to point out, specifically here that in this context we see who we overcame. It is the ‘accuser of the brethren’, the ‘devil’, who is come down unto you. These overcame by the:
1. Blood of the lamb: having received him, he gave us the power to become the Sons of God, read John 1.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
2. Word of their testimony: He who confesses or tells of the LORD Jesus Christ, Y’SHUA Ha Massiach before men!
Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
3. Those who love not their lives unto the death:
Mark 8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.
Luke 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
Here again let it be noted, this ‘man of pride’ is a ‘beast of pride’, who appears as ‘Lucifer’ the lightbearer, known as the beast, dragon, Satan, the Devil! It is Satan who empowers this dark one and his false prophet. Once again, the two main ways to tell these deceivers are the “lawlessness” and “pride” that goes with them. Both these words will be accompanied with one other word here, that is “power”. This power will come directly from Satan, who is allowed by the LORD God at this time to bring in delusion [see 2 Thess 2].
He will have the “power” to deceive!
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
He will have the “power” to conquer!
Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
He will have the “power” to rule and reign!
Revelation 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
He will have the “power” to be worshipped and appear as God himself!
2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
His presence will also have the “power” to bring in accompanying signs and wonders!
Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
My friends, these trio’s of evil: the Dragon who gave them power, the Beast who deceived them on the earth, and the False prophet who did miracles and caused the world to worship him, cannot overcome you! But they will bring in “lawlessness”, with “pride”, and have ultimate “power” over all other things to steal, kill, and to destroy!
In its simple essence the five “I wills” in Isaiah that are attributed to ‘Lucifer’, have the five main words that make up who he is. This is:
1. Arrogance
2. Pride
3. Power
4. Lawlessness
5. Lust
But here, today, I let you know that as a people we see all these in our society today! That is why, the veil is being retracted to let in this beast and the delusion that comes with him. But in all five words above, three will absolutely not be able to stay hidden, these in summary are: lawlessness, pride, and power. Pride was the cause of the downfall of this evil one, lawlessness was the result, and power was the one thing he wanted!
Just ask yourself on the people in current power, how do they operate? What do they seem to bring to the table? Is it Power? Do they bring in policies that are in direct contrast to the Word of GOD? If so they have an anti Christ spirit about them and are on the table for the main position of the Son of Perdition.
One final note to absolutely know who is the beast in Revelation!
Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Revelation 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
When a world leader who is in power in the time of evil to come becomes mortally wounded, that is, unto death. Then that leader comes back from the dead miraculously, and then the world worships him, my friends, this is the beast. From this point on, there is 42 months of power for this deceiver and his prophet to rule and work out his scheme of delusion.
1. The reign of terror: 42 months, 3 1/2 years
2. Blasphemes God, his name, his tabernacle, all them in heaven
3. He makes war with the saints, and overcomes them [literally 'wears them out']
4. All nations, kindreds, tongues, and nations are under his power
5. All whose names are not in the Lamb’s book of life will worship him and take his mark!
Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
