“He was granted power
to give breath to the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast (the Antichrist) should both speak and cause as many as would NOT worship the image of the beast to be KILLED.”
(Revelation 13:15)
This religious leader will create some sort of an “image” of the Antichrist. It may be something very miraculous, or it may be two-thousand year old vocabulary trying to describe some future technology such as robotics, animatronics, or virtual reality.
This will require an AGI or ASI level of AI to “abide” in it …
OpenAI (GPT) just announced release of the world’s first “AGI” level AI …
And the super-intelligent “ASI” is scheduled for release around 2030 (along with Quantum Computers).
“He causes ALL,
both small and great,
rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a MARK on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that NO ONE may buy or sell except one who has the mark,
or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name.”
(Revelation 13:16-17)
The “mark,” the “name,” and the “number” may signify some kind of political or economic ranking system.
This prophecy is very crucial for those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and will be alive when this law is enacted and enforced. This “mark” will signify a person’s allegiance to this coming world leader (and Satan). It may include some kind of tattoo, or implanted microchip with all of your credit card and banking information, we really don’t know right now.
It will NOT be easy to refuse this mark, whatever it is, for many of you will have families and children that will need to be fed. But, by taking this mark, you will have sealed your eternal fate and doom. Study this passage … people will receive a mark with his (the Antichrist’s) name or his number … this way people are identifying themselves and placing their loyalties with him. One of the early church fathers believed and wrote that the coming Antichrist will be such a liar and deceiver that even after taking this mark, most of the average people and families will NOT get the food or things promised.
There will be no turning back for any who take the “mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” In God’s eyes it is as though you have become betrothed to Satan and his Antichrist and will be irreversible. This mark will be a spiritual death sentence for all who take it.
God will take the sting out of death for these millions who will die in faith while refusing to take “the mark of the Beast,” and God wants them to know they will be blessed in Heaven for all eternity …
“Then I heard a voice from Heaven
saying to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’” (This is during the Apocalypse)
“Yes,” says the Spirit,
“that they may rest from their labors,
and their works follow them.”
(Revelation 14:13)
“Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the Word of God,
who had not worshiped
the beast (Antichrist) or his image,
and had not received his mark
on their foreheads or on their hands.”
(Revelation 20:4)
“I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the Word of God and for the testimony which they held.
And they cried with a loud voice, saying,
“How long, O Lord, holy and true,
until You judge and avenge our blood
on those who dwell on the Earth?”
Then a white robe
was given to each of them;
and it was said to them that
they should rest a little while longer,
until both the number of their
fellow servants and their brethren,
who would be killed as they were,
was completed.”
(Revelation 6:9-11)
Jesus warns …
“Now brother will betray brother to death,
and a father his child;
and children will rise up against parents
and cause them to be put to death. “And you will be hated by all men for My Name’s sake.
But he who endures to the end
shall be saved.” (Into the Kingdom of Heaven)
(Mark 13:12-13)
I apologize for listing so many Prophecy Studies below, but you can decide whether or not any or all of them apply to what we are now seeing in a Nation which still has “In God We Trust” on our currency and once had Freedom of Religion with the Right To Assemble and the Right To Free Speech engraved in our Constitution …
Here Are a Few Socialist Tactics Concerning Our Children …
“He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future” (Hitler)
“Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” (Stalin)
“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” (Lenin)
“The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother’s care, shall be in state institutions at state expense.” (Karl Marx)
Stalin also gave the following “road map” for the long-term Socialist destruction of America when he said …
“America is like a HEALTHY body
and its RESISTANCE (to Socialism-Communism) is threefold: Its Patriotism,
its Morality,
and its Spiritual life.
If we (Socialist-Marxist-Communists) can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.”
(Stalin)
The Roman Catholic Church (Jesuits)created Socialism/Communism/Marxism from 1609 to 1767 in Paraguay with their “Reductions”
Karl Marx (who was educated in a Jesuit school) simply wrote down or “codified” this Jesuit form of governance
In the Jesuits’ own words (published in 1848) …
The Jesuit Conspiracy:
The Secret Plan of the Order
by Father (Abbot) Jacopo Leone
(Published in 1848)
THE SECRET PLAN OF THE JESUITS
“Doubtless, you have not forgotten our ancient PARAGUAY.”
(NOTE: THIS INCLUSION OF PARAGUAY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!! It was the Jesuits, and not Karl Marx (who went to a Jesuit high school) who first developed “Socialism” (also called “Communism”) for controlling large populations and nations in what they then called “Reductions,” which they first formed and tested in Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina, and other Latin American countries over native peoples in the 1600s – 1700s. They then used a seemingly independent front-man, Karl Marx, to “codify” in writing their Communist/Socialist Political-Economic System in his “Manifesto” released in 1848, which was the same year the English translation of this book warning against the dark Jesuit force behind “Socialism/Communism” was published) …
“It (the Jesuit ‘Reduction’ in Paraguay)
was but a very limited trial
of our (Socialism/Communism) system, in a small corner of the globe.”
“In these latter days, we need a new code (which was then written down by Karl Marx in 1848), We who have undertaken to work so mighty a change – to make everything bend beneath the irresistible hammer (and sickle) of our doctrines” Pg 81
“Let every individual, therefore, yield up an entire obedience (to the Pope). Let him plight inviolable vows in one sole convent; And let the Pope – but a Pope of our own forming – be its perpetual abbot! (Francis is the first Jesuit Pope)
“Catholicism must no longer remain a mutilated power has it not, within itself, means innumerable to overthrow and to raise up? Can it not re-erect itself, conquer, destroy, rebuild, and so Machiavellise itself, that the World can by no means escape it?
“Yes; let us incessantly and unweariedly propagate our doctrines amongst the people; Warmed by the fire of these doctrines, they will become changed for us into thunderbolts to strike down these haughty kings (and democratic governments) Pp 80-82
This bears witness to the fact that the Vatican represents BOTH a global Religious Power as a “church” … AND … a global Political Power as a secular “kingdom” nation.
The Roman Catholic church has NOT removed ANY of the man-made Doctrines corrupting God’s Word that caused Martin Luther to flee from the Roman Church 500 years ago …
Around 1966, Roman Catholics gained a plurality in Canada after waves of Roman Catholic immigrants from Italy and other areas flooded the nation …
Socialism and Catholicism are unholy twins.
The last three Canadian Prime Ministers were and are ALL Roman Catholic, and now, the once “Protestant” nation that thrived in its freedoms now embraces Socialism (which devours freedom and joy) under the dark shadow of the Roman Vatican.
A few Headlines below you will find an Article/Video from a Roman Catholic News Site (LifeSite News) that questions “The Vatican’s Secret China Deal (Treaty)” …
Now, consider the Vatican’s secret alliance with China to the Roman Catholic Church’s 500-Year War against Protestants (and all Protestant nations now called “the West” who are now falling to Rome’s “Socialism”) along with their embrace of Islam (the Vatican now has a Muslim Prayer Room in the Vatican) …
As you look at this photo of Barack Hussein Obama’s Democrat Party Election Headquarters (and there are more photos), remember that Che Guevara was Fidel Castro’s right-hand man, and that during Obama’s first Presidential campaign, Iranian Hamas had many telephone operatives campaigning for Obama from Gaza!

King Charles of England recently travelled to Rome to pray in the Roman Vatican with the Catholic Pope …
The Roman Catholic Vaticannow has a special Prayer Room just for Islamics (Muslims) …
Under Queen Elizabeth over 6000 churches in England were converted into Islamic Mosques.
During the 13th and 14th centuries the “devout” Roman Catholic Crown of Aragon in Spainrecruited thousands of Islamicmercenaries (known as Jenets) to help maintain power.
The ancient Hebrew book of Gad prophetically warns that Rome (Donkey) and Islam (Camel) will form an alliance against Israel (Oxen) just before Messiah returns to destroy them.
Turkey’s Leader (Erdogan) once quoted the following concerning Islam …
“The mosques are our barracks, The domes our helmets, The minarets our bayonets And Muslims our soldiers …”
It was under President Clinton (who also was class President of Roman Catholic Jesuit Georgetown University) that the military first instituted a rule AGAINST praying in Jesus’ Name …
Bill Clinton During His Jesuit Georgetown University Years
While George W. Bush was President he ALLOWED the US Military to court martial Chaplains who prayed “in Jesus’ Name” …
I have to admit I was duped by George Bush. But, under the “cowboy” and “God bless” smokescreen and veneer he powerfully and stealthily advanced the Democrat Party and Roman Catholic/Islamic agenda like no other Republican president before him …
George W Bush and Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts Leave the annual Roman Catholic “Red Mass” in Washington, DC.
“At the Roman Catholic “Red Mass” they pray to “Thomas More” who was one of the most vicious and bloody inquisitors that ever lived and was responsible for having Bible translator William Tyndale
burned at the stake alive for his work. He had many other innocent victims burned at the stake as well
and held massive Bible burning events.”
If you do your homework you will find the Democrat Party was supported by the Roman Catholic Vatican and Jesuits during the Civil War …
Jefferson Davis was the first and only President of the Confederate States of America …
Roman Pope Pius IX explicitly addressed him as the “Illustrious and Honourable President” in an official 1863 Latin Catholic letter.
Abraham Lincoln even warned of the JESUIT influence over the Civil War …
“This war (the Civil War) would never have been possible without the sinister influence of the Jesuits. We owe it to popery that we now see our land reddened with the blood of her noblest sons. Though there were great differences of opinion between the South and the North on the question of slavery, neither Jeff Davis nor anyone of the leading men of the Confederacy would have dared to attack the North, had they not relied on the promises of the Jesuits, that, under the mask of Democracy, the money and the arms of the Roman Catholic, even the arms of France were at their disposal, if they would attack us. I pity the priests, the bishops and monks of Rome in the United States, when the people realize that they are, in great part, responsible for the tears and the blood shed in this war. I conceal what I know, on that subject, from the knowledge of the nation; for if the people knew the whole truth, this war would turn into a religious war, and it would at once, take a tenfold more savage and bloody character. It would become merciless as all religious wars are. It would become a war of extermination on both sides. The Protestants of both the North and the South would surely unite to exterminate the priests and the Jesuits, if they could hear what Professor Morse has said to me of the plots made in the very city of Rome to destroy this Republic, and if they could learn how the priests, the nuns, and the monks, which daily land on our shores, under the pretext of preaching their religion, instructing the people in their schools, taking care of the sick in the hospitals, are nothing else but the emissaries of the Pope, of Napoleon, and the other despots of Europe, to undermine our institutions, alienate the hearts of our people from our constitution, and our laws, destroy our schools, and prepare a reign of anarchy here as they have done in Ireland, in Mexico, in Spain, and wherever there are any people who want to be free.” – President Abraham Lincoln
Then President Lincoln went on to say:
“Is it not an absurdity to give to a man a thing which he is sworn to hate, curse, and destroy? And does not the Church of Rome hate, curse and destroy liberty of conscience whenever she can do it safely? I am for liberty of conscience in its noblest, broadest, highest sense. But I cannot give liberty of conscience to the Pope and to his followers, the Papists, so long as they tell me, through all their councils, theologians, and canon laws, that their conscience orders them to burn my wife, strangle my children, and cut my throat when they find their opportunity! This does not seem to be understood by the people today. But sooner or later, the light of common sense will make it clear to everyone that no liberty of conscience can be granted to men who are sworn to obey a Pope, who pretends to have the right to put to death those who differ from him in religion.”
President Abraham Lincoln
On Abraham Lincoln’s Assassination, in 1886, Roman Catholic Priest Father Chiniquy wrote …
“After 20 years of constant and most difficult researches, I come fearlessly today before the American people to say and prove that the President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by the Jesuits of Rome.” (Pg 309)
From “50 Years In the Church” of Rome
(Published in 1886 … and still available)
In 1816 John Adams wrote to Thomas Jefferson
“I do not like the reappearance of the Jesuits … If ever there was a body of men who merited damnation on earth and in Hell, it is this society of Loyola’s. Nevertheless, we are compelled by our system of religious toleration to offer them an asylum.”
The Jesuit’s Own Words From the “Secret Plan of the Jesuits” book …
(Intro. pg. LIV)
The Jesuit Conspiracy:
The Secret Plan of the Order
by Abbot (Father) Jacopo Leone
(Published in 1848)
“A very dangerous society, and one which would never have been admitted on the soil of the British Empire, is that of the Jesuits.
Its doctrines are subversive of all monarchical principles. The General of the Jesuits insists on being sovereign master, sovereign over the sovereign.
Wherever the Jesuits are admitted, they will be masters, cost what it may.
Their society is by nature dictatorial, and therefore it is the irreconcilable enemy of allconstituted authority.
Every act, every crime, however atrocious, is a meritorious work, if it is committed for the interest of the Society of Jesus, or by order of the General of the Jesuits.”
God has blessed this nation with 5 Jubilees (250 years) as a Light unto the nations, as a restrainer to the nations blocking Rome (the German “Kaiser”) and the Unholy Roman Empire (the Third “Reich” which means “holy Roman empire”), and as a safe harbor for the Children of Israel …
“Five” is the number of God’s Grace …
The Children of Israel must soon stand alone against the World … with God!!!
The Bible warns “The Falling Away,” the “Rapture,” The “Antichrist,” and the “Apocalypse” are ALL closely linked …
“Now brethren,
(He is warning believing Christians)
concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him (the ‘Rapture’ and escape)
Let no one deceive you by any means,
for that Day (The terrible Apocalypse … after the Rapture)
will not come unless the falling away (‘departing from the faith’ … the Apostasy) comes FIRST
(just like we are now seeing)
And the man of sin (the coming Antichrist) is revealed, (when he enforces a peace upon Israel)
the son of perdition (another title of the Antichrist)
who opposes and exalts himself
above all that is called God
or that is worshiped,
so that he (the coming Antichrist)
sits as God in the Temple of God,
(a new Temple will be built in Jerusalem) showing himself that he is God.
(this event will trigger the Great Tribulation) Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?”
(In Acts we find Paul was with them for only 3 weeks!!)
(2 Thessalonians 2:1-5)

Excerpt from the Article …
“The Holy Father appointed him bishop of Chifeng (Province of Inner Mongolia, China) on 15 June 2026, having approved his candidature within the framework of the Provisional Agreement between the Holy See and the People’s Republic of China,” the Vatican announced Wednesday.
The officially secret Sino-Vatican deal, signed in 2018, is believed to recognize the state-approved church in China and allows the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to appoint bishops. The Pope apparently maintains veto power, although in practice it is the CCP that has control. It also allegedly allows for the removal of legitimate bishops to be replaced by CCP-approved bishops.
The deal was renewed most recently in 2024 for a four-year period.”
Socialism in not just a Political/Economic Doctrine, it is a religion that opposes and despises God’s Word and Biblical Christianity. They writhe and hiss even at the mention of God, the Bible, or Jesus Christ.
Socialists always portray themselves as the “friend” of the poor and middle-classes, but Socialist controlled nations always end up with only TWO classes … the “Ruling” Class and the “Ruled Over” Class … the “Patron – Peon” type pattern … with a weak or eliminated Middle-Class (which is the backbone of a free nation).
Socialists Have No “Defined” Set of Rules For Morality
Socialists are driven by arrogant greed, hate, fear, anger, lust for power, and whatever “feels good” to them … and since their “conscience” has been “seared” (hardened or deadened) through rebellion against God’s Word, they teach their “end” justifies their “means,” which is why corrupt immorality, abortion, lies, treason, vote fraud, slander, intimidation, lawlessness, and violence are fully acceptable to them.
They can also be easily convinced of the need to “silence” and “eliminate” those people and groups who oppose them.
The first thing Socialists do when they begin to gain power is to remove God from all public institutions, take over the Educational system in order to powerfully and subtly shift the attitudes and beliefs of the youth.
Then as they gain more power they methodically attack any Biblical form of Christianity (they might allow some state-controlled churches while arresting or “re-educating” Bible-believing Christians just like China has recently started doing again.)
Yet, many today in America and around the World are being taught to LOVE and embrace Socialism.
It’s kind of like the old story of two likable, gullible, and soft-hearted elderly ladies who were on a trip to Mexico where they were convinced to buy a “cuddly but sick little Chihuahua”, and then after returning home and taking their new pet puppy to the local veterinarian they were soon horrified to learn their new little puppy was actually a rabid rat.
REMEMBER: SOCIALISM Allows Only TWO Classes:
The “Ruling” Class and the “Ruled Over” Class.
Every city, state, nation or people who fall under their control will always writhe under their evil, ruthless, violent, criminal, and Godless control … the only “freedom” in Socialism lies in THEIR freedom to destroy.
The 2020 “Crisis” was equivalent to a nuclear ECONOMIC attack against America and the West …
Our Economy and Defense Suppliers will never recover, and our Military will never be able to fully rebuild because of the mess that Joe Biden purposefully left behind …
If you go back into the News Archives on this site you will find a warning that 2020 was just “PHASE 1”, in a well-planned coordinated attack to topple America as a Free Democratic Republic …
And, Dr. Fauci STILLserves as “Distinguished University Professor” at Roman Catholic Jesuit Georgetown University …
As an empowered Roman Catholic, J.D. Vance must place his loyalty and obedience to the Roman Pope’s geo-political policies and anti-Israel “replacement theology” above any others …
If you do your homework, you will find Epstein’s spy and blackmail operation reflects the training and tactics of the Roman Jesuits more than anyone else …
Anybody following the rise of the Marxist-Islamic Revolution in Mexico (the term “Drug Cartels” is a tactic of mis-direction) will have noticed FROM THE BEGINNING they mixed the Islamic terrorist tactic of “beheading” their enemies (to instill “terror”) along with classic Latin American Marxist Guerilla warfare tactics …
Excerpts continue: “Though originally founded by the Catholic Calvert family as a haven of religious toleration, Maryland became one of the least tolerant colonies for Catholics after its so-called Protestant Revolution overthrew the Catholic proprietary government in 1689.
“Anti-Catholic “penal laws” followed, depriving Catholics of the right to vote, hold office, practice law, worship publicly, or educate their children in their faith. They faced double taxation on land and were reduced to conducting Mass in secret.
“After Charles was sent to Europe at age 11 to receivethe rigorous Jesuit education that was illegal in Maryland …”
In 1816 John Adams wrote this to Thomas Jefferson concerning the Jesuits …
“I do not like the reappearance of the Jesuits … If ever there was a body of men who merited damnation on earth and in Hell, it is this society of Loyola’s. Nevertheless, we are compelled by our system of religious toleration to offer them an asylum.”
WHY did he write that???
Many of our founders such as George Washington and Paul Revere were descendants of the French Huguenots who had been ruthlessly, savagely, and helplessly slaughtered during the carnage of the Roman Inquisitions for simply refusing to bow down to the Pope (as Rome’s proclaimed ‘god on Earth’), which the Bible forbids.
So, our “Bill of Rights” were given to protect us from Rome.
These included:
Freedom of Religion
Freedom of Speech
Freedom of the Press
Freedom of Assembly
Freedom and Right to keep and Bear Arms
Protection against Unreasonable search and seizure
Protection against being tried twice for same crime
Protection against the seizure of property
Rights to a speedy Trial, with a Jury, and a Lawyer
This is the legacy of the rights and freedoms upon which America was originally founded, and which the Bible clearly warns will one day be lost … to Rome!
America’s Prophetic Future Under Roman Law …
NO Freedom of Religion
NO Freedom of Speech
NO Freedom of the Press
NO Freedom of Assembly
NO Right to keep and Bear Arms
NO Protection against Unrestricted Search & Arrest
NO Protection against Being Tried Twice for a crime
NO Protection against Seizure of Personal Property
NO Rights to a speedy Trial, with Jury, and a Lawyer

Do not ignore this unholy “marriage” forming between Rome and Islam …

In 1935, Jesuit E. Boyd Barrett Published his book “Rome Stoops to Conquer (America)” with a chapter showing the Roman Catholic Church already controlled New York …
In the ancient Hebrew book of Gad a prophecy is given concerning a Donkey and a Camel leading a yoke of Oxen, it’s pretty clear for anyone with a background in such prophecies to discern these 3 animals representing Rome and Islam who both believe they have “replaced” Israel in God’s Plan … how, might you summarize this prophecy to simplify it a bit for the casual reader?
Summary by Claude.AI
“Here’s a clear summary for the casual reader, drawing from the text itself and the interpretive tradition surrounding it.
The Prophecy of the Donkey, Camel, and Oxen
in the Book of Gad the Seer
The Setting
During the reign of King David, the Word of the LORD came to Gad the Seer near the stream of the Kidron Valley. God commanded him to stand in the midst of the stream, cry out toward the Eastern Gate, and stretch his hands toward heaven. Nccg What followed was a striking vision.
The Vision
When Gad finished crying out, he opened his eyes and saw a yoke of oxen being led by a donkey and a camel coming up from the Kidron stream — the donkey on the right side of the yoke and the camel on the left. Nccg
Then a thunderous voice interpreted the scene: these are “four mixtures that confuse the people of the LORD” — for the impure and the pure had been mixed, and impurity had taken control over purity, increasing power over righteous doers, betraying and destroying holiness, crowning wickedness, and setting up matters of impurity in the guise of purity. Scribd
What the Animals Represent
In the interpretive tradition around this prophecy:
The Oxen represent Israel — the covenant people of God. In biblical imagery, the ox is a clean animal, associated with labor, sacrifice, and God’s purposes. The ox pulls the plow; it does the foundational work.
The Donkey on the right side represents Rome and the Roman Church — the power that arose claiming to inherit and complete the story of Israel, eventually becoming the foundation of much of Western Christianity. The donkey represents Rome and the Roman church, which embraces replacement theology — the belief that its religious system replaces Israel in God’s plan. Ggwo
The Camel on the left represents Edom and Islam — the other great world religion that arose claiming to supersede and correct both Judaism and Christianity. The camel speaks of Edom and Islam, which similarly embraces a form of replacement theology asserting that its system replaces Israel. Ggwo
The Core Problem
The scandal of the vision is the direction of leadership. The oxen — Israel — are not leading. They are being led by the donkey and the camel, two animals that in Jewish law are unclean. The imagery is of something being driven and steered by forces that have no right to hold the reins.
Both the Donkey and the Camel believe they are the rightful heirs to God’s covenant with Israel — yet the text presents this as a confusion and a corruption, a mixing of the pure and impure that distorts God’s purposes. The book reveals how this dynamic tries to destroy the Jewish people through a union of groups holding different replacement theology religions. Amazon
The Resolution
The vision does not end in despair. After the voice spoke, a great shock shook the impurity and blew away the donkey and the camel into the moon with a bitter wind. Scribd
Then a Messianic figure appears — a Son coming from heaven with a lamb, ultimately crowned, representing purity overcoming impurity and the restoration of right order.
A Note on the Text
It’s worth knowing that the Book of Gad the Seer is a presumed lost text mentioned in 1 Chronicles 29:29. A manuscript claiming to be this book was found among the Jews of Cochin, India, and the extant copy now held at Cambridge is a relatively recent (19th century) copy. Wikipedia Its original date of composition is a matter of debate, with the most common alternatives being either the first few centuries AD or the Middle Ages. GotQuestions Scholars have noted that the author uses terms like Edom and Kittim to refer to Rome and Christianity, reflecting early Jewish-Christian polemics, and the text emphasizes Israel as the chosen people, countering Christian claims of divine favor.

You will find the message found in the Bible is not trivial … It is staggering!!!
Did You Know …
Bible prophecy allows (and invites) everyone in the world, both the skeptical, the sympathetic, the Christian, and the Non-Christian alike to test God’s Word.
Prophecy is God’s way of warning ALL Mankind of the grave danger that now lies ahead.
Almost 30% of the Bible is prophetic (telling of future events), and has so far been 100% accurate.
There is no other book in the world like it.
It contains the History of the World … Written in Advance!!!
