The Rise Of Satanism In The Last Days

[Hidden In Him]

It's amazing how some of these prophecies seem like they would indicate the supernatural, and yet play out in the mundane. I think we have a bias towards wanting to ascribe everything to the supernatural in Revelations, but forget that a lot of prophecy is filled by the mundane minutiae of life itself. Yes, God may pour out His Holy Spirit, but that awakening involves just being more aware. That heightened awareness, while entirely a natural process, is nonetheless triggered by something. We see all the various things going on, and yet, we all feel that there's more going on than meets the eye.

That's correct. And the job of the Christian is to be in touch with the Spirit of Prophecy Himself, and see clearly what the world only senses vaguely. The apostle Peter referred to the "Daystar" arising in our hearts to the point where we will KNOW what is coming prophetically, and with increasing clarity. The analogy meant that we would know the dawn was coming by the signs that would immediately precede it, and that's the point to this thread. As I stated in Post #6, they will hate God, and increasingly vilify and speak out against Him as that day approaches (Jude 1:14-15).

MK Ultra programming is failing as more people wake up.

It's failing in that sense, but only for those asking God for deliverance from it. For those who refuse, the entire earth is slowly succumbing to mind control.

Btw, in keeping with your reference to Brave New World, you may want to read the following. Always interesting to see how the Spirit of God prophesies things in advance, and exposes with greater and even more frightening clarity what the real objectives of the Satanists actually are (compare Post 1 with Post 2):

A World Of Masters And Slaves

For anyone wanting to know where things end for the Western world, the following may seem extreme at first, but if you read through the second post as well the likelihood of this being where it ends is strong, given the trends now taking place in Western society through the implementation of...

The reference to Enoch occurs after Armageddon, though, right? I can't quite recall the exact timeline of events, and there's several different ideas about exactly how it goes.

What verse is that reference to the daystar? That's really what it felt like, that increasing clarity whether it was wanted or not. I think the point is not whether or not we want it, but the fact that we need that clarity because of how strong the deception becomes.

We know there is a deception going on, but the exact nature of which still seems fractured and not quite coherent. It's sharpening, though, and communism will be the spear.

It begins well before, and has in fact already started in some ways amongst the Gnostics, i.e. the modern counterparts to the ones who were doing the exact same thing during New Testament times, though that would take some explaining, and possibly posting some links to a few Bible studies I wrote on it.

2 Peter 1:19, on the "more sure prophetic word" we now have:

16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” 18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

19 And so we have the more sure prophetic word, which you do well to take heed as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Daystar arises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

That is a tricky bit of prophecy, innit? I can't believe I missed that in all the times I pored over the bible. I mean, I even have an interlinear because of how into eschatology I had gotten and wanted to know what was actually being discussed.

Gnostics? Instruct, then, so I may sponge it up, good sir.

Greetings, all.

Noticed this in viewing a video in another thread on current news. Satanism is being increasingly being flaunted in our faces now, and I'm not posting this as an alarmist (since the following does not surprise or "shock" me in the least) but as a teacher. It's been prophesied in modern visions and in scripture as well, which I can get to in a moment, but we shouldn't be surprised that this is what society will slowly now become.

Anyway, the following is what caught my attention. Sam Smith's recent "performance" at the Grammies this year:

Ted Cruz blasts shocking Satan-themed performance at Grammys: 'This is evil'

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., and conservatives on Twitter blasted a Grammys performance as "Satanic" and "evil" after singer Sam Smith dressed as the Devil.

Looking in all the wrong places. It's not idiots on stages that endanger the body of Christ, but unrighteous preachers of another gospel.
