The Great Exchange

Part XLIII

The last chapter of The Great Exchange endeavored to recognize the fact that key Scriptural passages where Lucifer is mentioned have, in fact, noted how the divided fallen angel has a mystical association with the twin iniquities of Death and Hell.

Christian Media has spent a considerable degree of time and effort to diagnose the components of what we refer to as the Perdition Engine (also called the Iniquity Machine), which describes the mechanism that fuels the evil. This aspect of our revelation is of particular interest as we seek to more fully understand the power of God which overcomes the hideous strength of Satan.

In pursuit of this understanding we encounter the rather bizarre Scripture in which the False Prophet – one of two extensions of the dragon – is able to "give life" to the Image of the Beast mentioned in Revelation.

"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed" (Revelation 13:15).

This particular passage instantly raises questions, as the common sense of the believer universally conveys the idea that only God can give life; yet this text not only associates the ability to give life with the dark power, it indicates that power is transmitted through an instrument of the Devil via the entity labeled the False Prophet.

At the very least, there is indeed a great mystery here.

The fact that it is the False Prophet who is able to perform the miraculous feat is no surprise in these quarters, as we've repeatedly pointed out that the energizing Spirit of Hell is closely connected to this identity.

In multiple writings, we've shown the two fold powers we've dubbed "hemispheric halves" of the dragon invariably begin their cyclical process with Hell, as it feeds into the 2^nd half of the phenomena, which is Death.

In some strange way, this mysterious power, which the Apostle Paul calls the Mystery of Iniquity (II Thessalonians 2:7), initiates the energy output of the Devil. In fact, a close inspection of the various Scriptures which speak of Satan's activities, are routinely associated with the Hell half of the equation.

For example, in the second Thessalonian letter where Paul mentions the Strong Delusion to come, all the attributes mentioned are euphemistic of the False Prophet figure – as opposed to the Antichrist figure.

Warning about deception ("let no man deceive you" – II Thessalonians 2:3), Paul writes about this entity, which we've repeatedly shown to be non-corporeal, achieving entrance into the temple of God.

"[That entity] exalteth himself…so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God" (II Thessalonians 2:4).

The "exaltation," as well as the "showing" are both attributes of Hell, as opposed to Death. Once again, the "deceivableness" and "unrighteousness," mentioned in verse 10 are also consistent with the characteristics of the False Prophet "beast," not the Antichrist beast.   

We also note that the text tells us the "False Prophet" actually has "all the power of the first beast" (Revelation 13:12), but adjacent texts make it clear that possessing "all the power" is not the same as being identified through the defining characteristics of the first beast.

What we can see is the "Hell" power which is imaged as the "False Prophet" inaugurates the action, as it is this entity which "causes" those who dwell on the earth to embrace (worship in the text) the "Death" seen in the first beast.

It is particularly disturbing to realize the linguistic nuance found in Revelation is definitively suggesting a religious dimension through the imagery of a "False Prophet." Ominously, the overwhelming majority of people – both "Christian" and non-Christian – fail to realize the sophisticated processes described in the Scriptures are primarily aimed at the Spiritual Life of those who have the opportunity to be redeemed through the person of Jesus Christ.

In previous writings, we've shown how the Spirit of "Death," allegorized as the Serpent power in Revelation 9, is designated to execute the "third part," which is the Spiritual component of mankind.

"For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails [which have serpent's heads]…to slay the third part of men" (Revelation 9:19, 15).

The instrumentality of the "False Prophet" – allegorized as the Scorpion power in Revelation 9, is where we see that it is the words associated with this power that deliver its prey to the "Death" imaged as Serpents.

In fact, perceiving this verbalization is critical to evading the power of "Hell" which ultimately delivers all those "who dwell on the earth" (Revelation 6:10) to be slain by the Spirit of Death in "Antichrist."

The Word of God tells us the primary avenue connecting the earthdwellers and the "Hell" that inhabits the False Prophet is in the form of words, or dialogue.

This phenomenon crosses covenants, and is specifically seen in verses in which the Scriptures speak of the many false prophets.

"Now the serpent was more subtil that any beast of the field….and he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said…" (Genesis 3:1).

 Ezekiel tells of those False Prophets as well.

"They have seen vanity…saying, The Lord saith…. (Ezekiel 13:6).

The prophet Daniel also includes this component of communication in his prophetic writings.

"Behold, in this [Little] horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things" (Daniel 7:8).

Christians commonly go past the fact the vessels that are in view communicate via words, as we tend to briskly move on to the statements themselves.

"And he brought Him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, if thou be the Son of God…." (Luke 4:9).

Obviously, the primary text concerning the "False Prophet" would have to be included in this summary.

"…and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon…" (Revelation 13:11).

Moreover, since we are probing the fact the evil power is able to give life unto the image of the beast, we should certainly note how the "False Prophet" communicates to the lost:

"And deceiveth them…saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image…." (Revelation 13:1).

Although this might seem overly simplistic, the fact is, the Word of God provides us with this information for our benefit, and no part of it is non-essential. Once we factor in the contemporary phenomenon of what moderns call Neuro Linguistic Programming, and come to realize that the perfection of this sophisticated tool of manipulation just happens to coincide with the times in which we live, it becomes inescapable that we're getting closer to understanding just what has happened to trigger the bewildering set of circumstances which now confront us.

This realization will also help us to grasp just how the infernal power of the "False Prophet" Spirit has been utilized to move the world so much closer to consensus that the fulfillment of this exotic Image of the Beast prophecy is now at the door.

Adjacent verses in the passage, concerning how the Spirit of Hell is able to mesmerize the world into willingly turning away from the LORD, will help us to more fully comprehend these amazing prophecies.

A good place to begin is related to the word wonder, as we've shown the efforts of the False Prophet ignite the excitement concerning the Antichrist beast, which is inhabited by Death.

"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea….and all the world wondered after the beast" (Revelation 13:1).

The Greek manuscripts of the New Testament trace this word "wonder" to "existemi" – which is related to the English word ecstasy. 

Obviously, a subtle inference to the ecstatic condition induced by recreational drug use immediately comes to mind, but a bit of background concerning biology will help to clarify this.  

The human heart and mind are intricate; as we've learned the mind is composed of neurons, neural transmitters and receptors, with multiple processes which are complex, and quite amazing. These processes affect behavior, reasoning, and autonomic functions.

Our brains have a trillion neurons, and some of these have 10,000 branches to them. These pathways feature synaptic gaps – which are periodically bridged through chemicals which the body produces. When these gaps are bridged, a charge is delivered to the receptor on the other end of the gap, through the chemical dopamine.

This "charge" is like connecting terminals on an electrical circuit, and the result is seen in the pain or pleasure response. It is, of course, a natural process for us to avoid pain, and approach pleasure.

Very subtle responses occur through this process, and it's always tied to the environment. Thus, the physical world, which interacts with your flesh and blood nature, directly impacts your mind, in what is sometimes called a "dopamine moment."

Hearing a song that brings back fond memories of a pleasant time, or a dream featuring an old flame is related to this. Even viewing a photograph associated with an unfortunate experience can trigger an emotionally  saturated uncomfortable memory.  

It's well known that addictions are tied to dopamine, and it becomes more and more difficult to get the same "charge" without increasing the dopamine dosage. This is related to the progressive nature of sin. In a superb Spiritual signature, trying to re-create that "rush" in the drug sub-culture is called Chasing the Dragon!

The Bible tells us the Spirit of the "False Prophet" promises positive things, but delivers the opposite.

"While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage" (II Peter 2:19).

Earlier I referred to the system known as Neuro Linguistic Programming, which is a process that has mastered speech of a manipulative nature. A lothario who is adept at seduction, a salesman who makes a deal where the purchaser is not altogether sold on the product, or even a political figure who is "the lesser of two evils" all utilize this technique.

The idea is hardly recent as it was deployed in the Garden of Eden, where the serpent's task was to overcome objections to a fixed position, and induce a desire to consume the forbidden fruit. All of this is predicated on dialogue, and modern man has learned to manipulate behavior through something called the Dialogue to Consensus.

When conflict begins to surface, how many of us have heard someone suggest "We should have a dialogue about this?"

The Scripture says this is the most dangerous aspect of the present study – to the degree the LORD flatly tells us this is a practice that we should scrupulously avoid.

"If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house [to have a dialogue on the matter], neither bid him God speed. For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds" (II John 1:10, 11).

The Scripture tells us the deadliest practitioner of the Dialectic (meaning the Dialogue to Consensus), is the Spirit that looks like a lamb, but speaks as a dragon.

Thus, we refer to the output of that wicked Spirit as Dragonspeak, and it should be avoided at all costs. But how to identify it, and how to recognize a vessel that utilizes this nefarious process as driven by the Spirit that  gives life unto the Image of the Beast, will have to wait for the next installment of The Great Exchange.
