THE FALSE PROPHET

By Doug Krieger

“Then the beast was captured, and with him the FALSE PROPHET
who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the
mark of the beast, and those who worshiped his image”

(Revelation 19:20)

INTRODUCTION

“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the APOSTASIA (the falling away) comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition” (II Thess. 2:3).

In 2003 a series of articles appeared on the Tribulation Network decrying the present apostasy – primarily the mixture of politics, religion and prosperity-style gospel running rampant in the Church.  Little has changed since those insights—in point of fact, it has gotten far worse. 

It became apparent that a compendium of these articles should be bound together and extended – for, unfortunately, many more fabrications have been invented by the money changers in the temple and by them who prey upon the unsuspecting and vulnerable.  Furthermore, it has become increasingly apparent that the insipid flavor of her putridity has found numerous ways of insinuating itself among vast swaths of believers outside the walls of the imperial city, Babylon the Great – to the extent that the “whole earth” is filled with her fornications!

The title of this new e-book was somewhat difficult to ascertain – on the one hand we’re talking about the “great apostasy” which shall appear prior to the Second Coming of Christ or the Day of Christ – and on the other hand, we’re discussing issues related directly to the rise of the Second Beast, known as the False Prophet who ultimately ascends out of the earth to deceive the nations, bringing humankind under the worship of the Beast and, finally, the worship of the Image of the Beast.

After extensive consideration, I’ve decided to ascribe the final workmanship of the Latter Days relative to the Great City to the antithesis of the work of the Holy Spirit:  The False Prophet.  For, it is this depression which enables the Beast to profoundly affect the earthlings in their apostasy to create an Image to the Beast, breath into this Image that it may live and speak.  Likewise, it is this Lamb with Two Horns whose witness to the false messiah is so prevalent in the end of days that without the Mark of the Beast – whose institution derives from the Second Beast-False Prophet – no one can either “buy nor sell.”  Thus, economically and religiously, socially and culturally, the False Prophet plays an horrendous role leading up to and prevailing through the final 3.5 years of Daniel’s Seventieth Week.

There have been many who ascribe this figure to that of the Romish Pope – others to alien beings whose final manifestation from the abyss shall be welcomed by multitudes who will see in them “intelligent design” whereby the “watchers” who have with greater frequency visited our planet to confirm and do further research upon the bodies and souls of men, will, given the final opportunity, so manifest themselves to humankind.  I was somewhat flabbergasted to discover in Ben Stein’s latest documentary, EXPELLED, that one of the Darwinian atheists in opposition to any recognition or existence of divine design involved in the makings of creation, was altogether predisposed in a most frightful stupidity that man most probably was fabricated – if further research into molecular biology persists and confirms beyond any reasonable doubt that humankind and the billions of cells within the human genome have an undeniable pattern or design – by alien beings whose intelligence and science are far superior to our own; therefore, we are products of their intelligent design, for there is no God.  (Note:  Where these aliens came from is left to a new generation of Mengelean numbskulls.) 

To explore this “logical conclusion” in preparation of the False Prophet’s masterpiece – THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST – and the WORSHIP OF THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST – seems so far out there, but upon closer examination, I don’t think so.  What a twisted fete is this that the scientific community – the same one which so vehemently proclaims scientific observation exclusivity behind their insipid frames of credible research and discovery—connecting all the dots—to, when backed into the corner of intellectual honesty, must resort to alien probability to explain the universe and assuredly the present duress.

Stein did a masterful job of belittling Fortress Darwin—but far and beyond all the bloated heads which seemingly will stop at nothing to silence debate on what they attest is objective fact in their social Darwinian world of eugenic affirmations, is this ultimate conclusion of the Darwinian monster:  Nazism – Atheistic Communism – and all things aberrant to humanity.  Indeed, in a world of relativism where there is no “right or wrong” – “good or evil” and all is “pure science” (i.e., “no morality” – “no absolutes”) – then, and in accordance with the survival of the fittest as evidenced throughout the animal world – we humans, which are but animals in the final analysis (regardless of “conscience or consciousness”) may, from time to time, purge out the flaws of our race as did the Nazis and perpetuate an ever higher form of human existence – and, why not?  Aren’t we but a myriad of molecules swirling about signifying nothing more than matter somewhat organized to fulfill whatever there is?  And, since there is no such thing as “free will” – why not do whatever there is to do – let’s throw caution to the wind, as long as we can all just get along somehow under this “alien framework” – for, it is “they” who watch us and have ultimately made us what we are today!  How ingenious of them to concoct this “mud cocktail” – ignite it with lightning and presto:  THE HUMAN CELL! 

When my son suggested that the core element of the final end game deceit would be “alien in nature” – I was somewhat taken aback.  However, not any more—the “alien equation” is not only part and parcel of this final fallacy – it may actually be central to that terminal hour of man’s inhumanity to man.  You see, the IMAGE OF THE BEAST is worshipped.  It is my firm conviction—as I shall go into much greater detail—the Image of the Beast which is worshipped is naught but the people themselves.  Fallen humanity which has de facto proclaimed their own godhood demands self-worship in ever greater fashion and enterprise.  We are not talking about some statue in a Jewish temple somewhere in Jerusalem – we are talking about millions of people who collectively constitute the Image of the Beast which shall come to life and speak – just as Hitler’s DAS VOLK were the image of Hitler, even so, the Image of the Beast, wrought by the Second Beast, will demand that all the people adhere to their religion, to their way of life.  Scientific relativism is precisely designed for such a grandiose deception for the End of Days.  Yes, we shall explore the fallen angelic (alien) element in this corruption of humankind at the end of days.

I hope this e-book/series will be exceedingly helpful and spiritually stimulating, allowing us all to press in deeper into the Lord of Life and Light amidst the death and darkness which surrounds on every side.  May the Holy Spirit refresh and strengthen our inner man to see what is the hope of our calling in these latter days. 

“He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed” (Revelation 13:15).

“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.  But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the spirit of the Lord” (II Corinthians 3:17-18).
