Satan’s Antichrist Amoeba

That half of a nation so advanced to the point that it is the apex nation of human history can embrace such insane concepts is mind-boggling. Yet half of America, according to statistics I’ve read, for example, believes it is okay to literally murder people through abortion. As a matter of fact, it is preferable to do so, in most cases, merely for the sake of convenience.

I.e., abortion on demand is no different in such thinking, apparently, than simply throwing out the messes made after a big party. The fun is over, and the results are that one must either get rid of the mess or else live with the rubbish that continues to grow. Abortion is, in the large majority of cases, a matter of convenience after the fact.

Now I realize there are legitimately considered reasons for the procedure, but only the God who Issues life can Rule on the legitimacy of such action. So abortion performed for these reasons, considered in cases of a mother’s life, fetus viability, rape, incest, etc., can ultimately be determined only by Heaven’s Authority.

Man determines such taking of life, only at the risk of offending the Giver of life.

So, in these cases where convenience is truly not the motivating factor, we must, in my view, leave Heaven’s Judicial Determination between God and those performing the taking of life in the womb.

What I would like to examine under this title, Satan’s Antichrist Amoeba, includes the human mindset of abortion and all other thinking growing today that more and more leave behind what used to be considered normal. It is more than obvious, if studying God’s Word on the inevitable outcome of embracing anti-God thinking, that the reprobate mind moves ever further away from the ability to form rational thought.

Here, of course, is what Paul the great apostle says, under Holy Spirit Inspiration.

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity whisperers” (Romans 1:28-29).

We read stories of the brain-eating amoeba, which enters its human victim through the nose while the person is swimming in waters that are warm and infected with the insidious microbe or whatever it is considered by the microbiologists. Once infected, the person, if not immediately treated, is shortly unable to survive the brain damage. Death quickly follows.

We human beings were infected with a deadly amoeba-like entity called sin through the bloodstream of our father, Adam. He received this sin infection by the serpent, Satan, who injected him –and all humankind that has ever been born except for the Lord Jesus Christ. The result is that humanity, as a whole, continues to go further and further from God, unless Saved from the Sin-infection through belief in Jesus Christ, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, as a sacrifice to deliver from that sin infection.

God’s Word tells of this ever-present determination by fallen man to move away from God. The antediluvians of Noah’s day had to be destroyed for their corruption due to this satanic, spiritual-mind-destroying amoeba running through the bloodstream untreated. Because of unbelief, anti-God reprobate mindset moves mankind, ultimately, into total perversion.

The same was the case with Nimrod’s tower-building generation following the flood. The satanic amoeba again so infected that the Lord destroyed the anti-God project at Babel and scattered infected humanity throughout the world.

We look at the world of rebels at this present hour and how mankind has once again reached the point that, apart from Christ’s sin-cleansing Intervention, there is near total corruption and reprobate mindset. The Lord is about to have to again reach down and destroy through Supreme Judgment all anti-God rebelliousness. This will eventuate in the Tribulation –Daniel’s seventieth week.

During that Tribulation –the final 7 years before Christ’s Return at Armageddon (Revelation 19:11)—God will Allow the satanic Antichrist amoeba to totally infest the minds of anti-God rebels. Those so infected will believe the lies, and especially a big lie of some sort. Here is what the prophetic Word has to say in that regard.

“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thes 2:8-12).

We have seen some foreshadowing of the fallen minds of men being set up for believing this great lie following the Rapture of the Church. Jesus said the last of this Age of Grace will be marked by deception and deceivers. Paul wrote under Inspiration that human beings will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

We have all witnessed great deception in these days that are growing ever darker in terms of movement away from godliness. Even secular observers can see and understand that something evil is taking place as deception grows.

The following excerpt speaks to the discernment that even those who aren’t necessarily believers are displaying regarding setting up the minds of people for destructive lies.

Journalist Lara Logan on Monday told a U.S. Senate roundtable, “We live in the age of information warfare” aided by advanced technology, and “we have never been here, not in all of human history….

Other experts who participated in the roundtable discussed how the news media have become propagandized and warned that media-supported propaganda will lead to a totalitarian society.

‘Vast censorship network’ includes government, nonprofits

Journalist Lara Logan, formerly of CBS News, told the panel of experts, “These are the worst of times for the media in this country…”

Logan said:

“The media is collaborating with government agencies and operatives to censor and shape the information battlefield to justify certain actions. For example, when the president of the United States threatens the unvaccinated, saying ‘Our patience is wearing thin,’ and accuses them of putting communities at risk, his words are designed to justify hatred, censorship and intimidation.”

According to Logan, a network of nonprofit organizations whose purpose is to stifle free speech is contributing to information warfare:

“For too long we have allowed nonprofit organizations to masquerade as nonpartisan media watchdogs, when in fact, they are a little more than highly paid political propagandists and assassins whose entire reason for being is to crush anyone who stands in their way and along with them, the long-held and cherished ideas of free speech, free thinking and free minds.”

“This is a blood sport for them, their political allies, and their puppetmasters. They know how to kill a journalist without murdering them. We call it ‘cancel culture’ …. They get away with it because they have information dominance.”

Satan’s Antichrist amoeba is already at work in setting up the minds of mankind for the Tribulation when the Holy Spirit no longer Restrains to the same degree as while indwelling believers during this Age of Grace. The deadly amoeba’s spiritual mind-eating is observable in every direction one looks upon today’s darkening prophetic horizon.

Jesus Christ, Alone, is the Answer to cure the sin disease caused by this infernal parasite injected by Satan, that old serpent who introduced into Adam’s bloodstream those eons ago. To accept Christ’s Healing from sin infection, follow God’s Rx.

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).

We Are Heirs to an Eternal Kingdom

The items that most often fill our news feeds are disheartening at best. Much of what’s reported on the mainstream media is gaslighting, the attempt to persuade people that the things they see and experience are not real. The repetition of lies has been effective; most people go about their lives unaware of the dangers hidden by the misdirection of the day pointing them to a return to a semblance of normalcy.

The widespread deception of our time fulfills Bible prophecy. When His disciples asked Jesus about the signs of the last days and His Second Coming, He began with the words, “Take heed that no man deceive you” (Matthew 24:4). Paul also warned about the “wicked deception” that would characterize the appearing of the antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:10).

Behind the false information that permeates today’s airways lies Satan’s agenda to establish his kingdom on the earth with the man of lawlessness at the helm. He mistakenly believes he can stop the Lord’s restoration of a kingdom to Israel and thus prevent Jesus from setting up His realm.

There’s actually good news behind the push of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and UN to establish the devil’s new world order. It not only tells us that we live in the last moments of human history, but it also points to the nearness of the glorious kingdom that we will inherit, one that will be far more glorious than we can imagine.

We Are Heirs to a Kingdom

Amid the wickedness, terrors, deception, lawlessness, and violence that define our day, we possess an unfailing hope of a realm where righteousness will reign supreme and our joy will know no bounds. The Bible says we are heirs to this glorious realm.

In Ephesians 1:11-14, Paul writes we have “obtained an inheritance” of which the Holy Spirit is our “guarantee.” It’s one of the many blessings we have because of Christ. In another passage, the apostle identifies our inheritance as “the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 15:50).

Yes, of course, God transfers us to His spiritual domain at the moment of our redemption (Colossians 1:13-14). However, the Bible also tells us that we are also heirs to the physical and yet future manifestation of the Lord’s kingdom. Oh, what a jubilant day that will be for us!

At first glance, the words of 1 Corinthians 15:50 seem to convey bad news to us regarding our inheritance:

“I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.”

Despite telling us that we are now physically unfit to receive our inheritance, these words contain remarkably good news. They signify that our current experience in this vale of tears cannot be the glorious realm that the Lord promises us.

If we received our inheritance of a kingdom in our “flesh and blood” bodies, it would leave us with an exceedingly brief time to enjoy the Lord’s bequest to us amid the pain, suffering, and death that come our way here below.

Does it not dishonor Him when teachers tell us that this fleeting, troubled existence is His gift to us of a kingdom? I’m certain that it does. I fail to see any encouragement in viewing the church as our inheritance of a kingdom.

Furthermore, our current experience in this troubled world is not even remotely close to how the Bible describes Jesus’ future reign upon the earth (see Psalms such as 2, 46, and 110 as well as Revelation 20:1-10). Things such as wars, abortion, lawlessness, gaslighting, ethnic strife, and sex trafficking will be nonexistent when Jesus rules over the nations.

Jesus Will Make Us Fit for the Kingdom

The comforting news in all this is that Jesus will someday, hopefully soon, make us fit for the kingdom in which we will reign with Him.

In 1 Corinthians 15:51-55, Paul writes that He appears, Jesus will raise the dead with “imperishable bodies,” and “we,” too, will experience immortality. Although we cannot receive our inheritance in our current existence, the Lord will make us fit for His eternal realm when He appears and “transforms our lowly body to be like his glorious body” (Philippians 3:20-21).

Earlier in 1 Corinthians 15, Paul states that apart from the hope of this resurrection, which later in the passage he says happens at the time of the Rapture, “our faith is futile” and “we are of all people most to be pitied” (1 Corinthians 15:17, 19). The good news of the Gospel includes the promise of a realm that we will enjoy in glorified, incorruptible bodies.

Those who say that God has rejected Israel and transferred its kingdom blessings to the church, albeit spiritually, not only severely minimize His covenant promises to the nation but also seriously degrade the wonder of our inheritance of New Testament saints.

All this is exceedingly good news for us because it signifies that:

  1. Our current experience of suffering, pain, and death is most certainly not the realm to which the New Testament says we are heirs. (The Bible says we are heirs to a kingdom, not possessors of it.)
  2. We will reign with Jesus in His kingdom with immortal bodies because Jesus will make us fit for His eternal realm when He takes us home to glory.

We will reign with Jesus for a thousand years and then forevermore. We greatly rejoice knowing that our glorious inheritance lies in the future rather than now in the confines of the church.

AI and Lucifer’s Attempt at God-Likeness

Lucifer was, it is likely, the Apex Angel of God’s angelic Creation. His beauty, according to his own words, seemed to be something that morphed into pride wrapped within the iniquity that was found in him.

This magnificent creature convinced himself, like in the lie with which he deceived Eve, that he could become as God.

Lucifer, now known as the serpent, the devil, and Satan, has, since embracing iniquity, tried to achieve those words he spoke while looking into that iniquitous mirror.

“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: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High” (Isaiah 14:13-14).

Lucifer the fallen now tries in every way to usurp God’s Throne. His desire to be God has apparently only grown, not diminished, over the eons. He tries to exert power and authority over God’s Creation –especially God’s creation called man. For most of humanity, his wicked machinations have worked.

He is now in the process of convincing mankind that God’s Order is to be thrown out and replaced with man’s own governance, which is in reality Lucifer the fallen one’s governance.

There aren’t two genders, but many. Men can come together with other men in sexual activity, and women with women. Mankind should, through climate change fanaticism, worship Mother Earth –i.e., should worship the creation rather than the Creator. It is okay for mankind, even parents, to change the sex of their children through mutilation and drug therapies. And many, even within the nation’s judicial systems, view pedophiles now as only Minor Attracted Persons who shouldn’t be punished for their pedophilia.

Lucifer’s drive to be God-like can never accomplish his goal. Still, he rages forward in the attempt.

His reprobate insanity will eventuate in his ultimate imitation of Heaven’s Trinity when the unholy trinity comes together during the Tribulation. Satan, Antichrist, and the false prophet will mimic the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit at that time.

Yet Lucifer the fallen comes far short of the God-like Power he covets. That is, he is neither Omniscient, Omnipotent, nor Omnipresent.

A close, long-time friend this past week sent me an article that sparked a profound realization. I attempt here to relate this epiphany my friend stimulated upon our back and forth in email.

This thing that has suddenly appeared and is growing in geometric progression termed AI (Artificial Intelligence) seems destined to, at some future point, give the unholy trinity their own evil imitation of God’s Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence.

The article my friend sent gives a hint of the potential for developing AI into technology that will likely make the unholy trinity when they appear seem to be all-knowing, all-powerful, and always present everywhere at the same time.

My friend’s email comment to me: Here is a tweet written by a current Google customer, commenting at length on the nature of the Gemini (Google AI) tool.

I think AI will lend the Antichrist the semblance of omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence as well. AI has an uncanny ability to predict future behavior based on past behavior. While the Antichrist may not be able to see everything, he can likely make educated guesses where to look and what and who to control based on the odds.

In this way, AI acts as a force multiplier and a force extender. It not only amplifies the collection and analysis of data but enables efficient application of deterrence and control.

Article Excerpt:

“I’m done with @Google. I know many good individuals working there, but as a company, they’ve irrevocably lost my trust. I’m “moving out.” Here’s why:

“I’ve been reading Google’s Gemini damage control posts. I think they’re simply not telling the truth. For one, their text-only product has the same (if not worse) issues. And second, if you know a bit about how these models are built, you know you don’t get these “incorrect” answers through one-off innocent mistakes. Gemini’s outputs reflect the many, many, FTE-years of labeling efforts, training, fine-tuning, prompt design, QA/verification — all iteratively guided by the team who built it.

You can also be certain that before releasing it, many people have tried the product internally, that many demos were given to senior PMs and VPs, that they all thought it was fine, and that they all ultimately signed off on the release. With that prior, the balance of probabilities is strongly against the outputs being an innocent bug — as @googlepubpolicy is now trying to spin it: Gemini is a product that functions exactly as designed, and an accurate reflection of the values people who built it.

“Those values appear to include a desire to reshape the world in a specific way that is so strong that it allowed the people involved to rationalize to themselves that it’s not just acceptable but desirable to train their AI to prioritize ideology ahead of giving users the facts. To revise history, to obfuscate the present, and to outright hide information that doesn’t align with the company’s (staff’s) impression of what is “good.”

I don’t care if some of that ideology may or may not align with your or my thinking about what would make the world a better place: for anyone with a shred of awareness of human history, it should be clear how unbelievably irresponsible it is to build a system that aims to become an authoritative compendium of human knowledge (remember Google’s mission statement?), but which actually prioritizes ideology over facts. History is littered with many who have tried this sort of moral flexibility “for the greater good.” Rather than helping, they typically resulted in decades of setbacks (and tens of millions of victims).

[Source: “I’m Done With Google”: Wholesale Loss Of Trust After “Unbelievably Irresponsible” Racist AI Goes Mask-Off, ZeroHedge, Rapture Ready News, February 28, 2024]

With some of the scientists who have brought AI into existence saying it is so dangerous as to its possibly bringing mankind to termination, it is not hard to imagine what the other AI will do with the technology. That other AI, Antichrist’s Intelligence, powered by his father of lies, Lucifer, will doubtless indeed seem to exert God-like powers of omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence over the victims left behind when the Lord Jesus Christ Rescues all believers in the Rapture just before the unholy trinity takes power during the Tribulation.

You don’t want to be left behind when that evil, phony trinity takes over. Here is how to go to Jesus when He Calls believers to Himself.

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).

The Prophetic Significance of Underground Bunkers

A few years ago, I read a mystery novel about people building elaborate and expensive underground bunkers in former missile silos to protect themselves from nuclear war and other forms of devastation. His story caused me to wonder if he had observed this before creating a fictional account about it.

In 2024, fiction has become reality. For months, social media has been abuzz with reports of Mark Zuckerberg, billionaire founder of Facebook, building a massive underground shelter in Hawaii. A Time online story recently picked up the story:

 Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, co-founder and co-CEO of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, plan to build a 5,000-square-foot underground shelter on their Hawaii ranch with its own energy and food supplies, according to a Wired investigation published earlier this month.

The plan is that the shelter’s door will be made of metal and filled in with concrete—common in bunkers and bomb shelters, the news outlet reported in its extensive article citing planning documents and interviews.

Other accounts suggest that he is just one of many billionaires building underground bunkers for protection against doomsday scenarios. We know that governments have protective bunkers for their elite, but now such things have become commonplace among the rich and famous.

The Building of Bunkers Fulfills Biblical Prophecy

Did you know that the Bible long ago prophesied that this would happen in the last days? Who would have thought that Mr. Zuckerberg’s behavior fulfills biblical prophecy? But it does.

The Lord told the prophet Isaiah that during the last days, people would hide in holes in the ground to escape the terrors of the Day of the Lord:

“And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled,
and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low,
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
And the idols shall utterly pass away.
And people shall enter the caves of the rocks
and the holes of the ground,
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
when he rises to terrify the earth”
(Isaiah 2:17-19, my emphasis)

Skipping forward to Revelation 6:15-17, we read that John witnessed and recorded the future fulfillment of these words from Isaiah 2:

“Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?’”

In the future, it won’t be just the rich and powerful seeking refuge amid the terrors of the Day of the Lord wrath, but a wide variety of people during the Tribulation period will seek to hide from His judgments.

What Does This Tell Us About the Time in Which We Live?

The vast majority, if not all, of those seeking underground protection from doomsday scenarios don’t believe the Bible. Most regard our warnings of God’s future judgment on the earth as foolishness.

Does it not seem strangely ironic that their behavior points to the soon fulfillment of Revelation chapter 6, which they consider to be foolishness?

They recognize that devastating wars, economic turmoil, and deadly natural disasters lie on the horizon, but they remain blind to how these things point to the Lord’s soon intervention in the world. However, by the time the sixth seal comes upon them, they will recognize the terrors overspreading the planet as resulting “from the wrath of the Lamb” (Revelation 6:17).

If the elite recognize the nearness of the Day of the Lord perils such as we see in Revelation 6 (despite not identifying them as such), does this not tell us that such things are near? These billionaires look at what lies ahead with unbelieving eyes and ignorance of Bible prophecy; yet, by their behavior tell us that we live in the last days when these things are about to take place.

Should this not be a wake-up call to pastors who claim to know and believe what God’s Word says but persist in pushing the Lord’s intervention in our world to a far distant end of the age event?

I also find it curious that Mark Zuckerberg and his fellow billionaires are acting in ways that seem likely to frighten others as they seek to escape rather than use their money to divert the catastrophes they see coming. When we tell people about what the Bible says is coming to our world, they say we are trying to scare people. Even fellow believers accuse us of being escapists who don’t care about people or life today.

Don’t believe the mockers of our day. It’s Bible prophecy that provides the most genuine comfort amid the perils of our day. Furthermore, I have observed that the ones looking for Jesus’ imminent appearing are among those most likely to give sacrificially to alleviate the suffering of our world.

I’m not saying we should not take precautions in a world fraught with danger and perhaps maintain a backup supply of food and water. However, our hope for the future rests in Jesus alone.

We don’t know when He will appear to take us to Heaven or the timing of the destruction that’s coming upon the world, but based upon what the Bible tells us, we know these things:

  1. We surely live in the season of the Rapture.
  2. Jesus will soon appear; He will surely intervene in our world.
  3. The destruction anticipated by the elite will happen after we are safely in glory with Jesus.
  4. The underground bunkers will not save them from the wrath that’s coming upon planet Earth.
