Bringing up the Beast

Bringing up the Beast - Terry James - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ Planet earth is undergoing a "reset" of observable dimension, as the term "reset" is used by secular pundits. "Stage-setting" is the term we biblical prophecy watchers useto describe the things taking place at a phenomenal pace. In both cases-secular and biblical-the "reset" or "stage-setting" has undeniably accelerated to quantum speed since the American presidential election of 2016. Secular observers see the dynamic changes taking place as ideological transformation that occurs cyclically-like seasonal weather patterns that can bring great, destructivestorms. From the biblical view, the "reset," the "stage-setting," is heading in one direction, and for a singular purpose. Movement at such a swift pace is being employed by evil's master strategist to bring to the world stage his final and most terrible tyrantof human history. It's more than interesting, I notice, that those coming from the secular standpoint more and more use the word "beast" to describe this rise of powers in opposition to traditionalWestern cultural, societal, political, and religious norms. To my thinking, this is yet another proof that God's Word is truth. Even those who would no doubt gag at the thought that they were validating anything from the Bible can't help contributing to theoutcomes foretold thousands of years ago. I recently received an email containing an interesting article related to this. My thanks to Nancy, who apparently reads these commentaries. The writer of the article Nancy sent seems to have no biblical knowledge as he gets into things going on in the "reset." While his article would be considered conspiracy-ladenby those in most news media, the author-despite not knowing Bible prophecy, so far as I can tell-lays out well what is likely behind the scenes in Lucifer bringing the beast to power. Again, it's the writer's use of the word "beast" that is most interesting. He makes no reference throughout his article to the beast of Revelation 13, yet that beast isthe very entity to which he unwittingly is referring. Here is the beginning of the article. I highly recommend that you read the entire piece. Imagine, you are living in a world that you are told is a democracy - and you may even believe it - but in fact your life and fate is in the hands of a few ultra-rich, ultra-powerfuland ultra-inhuman oligarchs. They may be called Deep State, or simply the Beast, or anything else obscure or untraceable - it doesn't matter. They are less than the 0.0001%. For lack of a better expression, let's call them for now "obscure individuals". These obscure individuals who pretend running our world have never been elected. We don't need to name them. You will figure out who they are, and why they are famous, andsome of them totally invisible. They have created structures, or organisms without any legal format. They are fully out of international legality. They are a forefront for the Beast. Maybe there are several competing Beasts. But they have the same objective:A New or One World Order (NWO, or OWO). These obscure individuals are running, for example, The World Economic Forum (WEF - representing Big Industry, Big Finance and Big Fame), the Group of 7 - G7, the Groupof 20 - G20 (the leaders of the economically" strongest" nations). There are also some lesser entities, called the Bilderberg Society, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Chatham House and more. The members of all of them are overlapping. Even this expanded forefront combined represents less than 0.001%. They all have superimposed themselves over sovereign nationalelected and constitutional governments, and over THE multinational world body, the United Nations, the UN... Co-opted or created by the Beast(s) are also, the European Union, the Bretton Woods Organizations, World Bank and IMF, as well as the World Trade Organization (WTO) - and - make no mistake - the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. It has no teeth. Just to make sure the law is always on the side of the lawless. In fact, they have co-opted the UN to do their bidding. (Peter Koening, "The Deep State," The Global Reset - Unplugged. July 24, 2020, https://www.globalresearch.ca/global-reset-unplugged/5716178 ) As addressed in this column before, many are already falling under the delusion being foisted by those whom this secular-oriented author calls "beasts." Koening furtherrelates: The supremacy of these obscure unelected individuals becomes ever more exposed. We, the People consider it "normal" that they call the shots, not what we call - or oncewere proud of calling, our sovereign nations and sovereignty elected governments. They have become a herd of obedient sheep. The Beast has gradually and quietly taken over. We haven't noticed. It's the salami tactic: You cut off slice by tiny slice and whenthe salami is gone, you realize that you have nothing left, that your freedom, your civil and human rights are gone. By then it's too late. Case in point is the US Patriot Act. It was prepared way before 9/11. Once 9/11 "happened", the Patriot Legislationwas whizzed through Congress in no time - for the people's future protection - people called for it for fear - and - bingo, the Patriot Act took about 90% of the American population's freedom and civil rights away. For good. We have become enslaved to the Beast. The Beast calls the shots on boom or bust of our economies, on who should be shackled by debt, when and where a pandemic should breakout, and on the conditions of surviving the pandemic, for example, social confinement. And to top it all off - the instruments the Beast uses, very cleverly, are a tiny-tiny invisible enemy, called a virus, and a huge but also invisible monster, called FEAR.That keeps us off the street, off reunions with our friends, and off our social entertainment, theatre, sports, or a picnic in the park. (Ibid.) It's beginning to be more understandable how the beast of Revelation 13 will have little trouble ascending the steps of the platform that Satan's globalist minions are inoverdrive preparing for when the Church leaves this world.
