"AND POWER WAS GIVEN TO HIM"

The Bible is very explicit in its teaching of the rise of Antichrist and his subsequent domination of all aspects of life on earth. When will his New World Order come to fruition? Why would secular society as we know it worship a priest-king? What is the source of his power and might? Does he actually circumvent the sovereignty of God? Furthermore, does modern technology give any preliminary hints as to his control over the "forces of nature"? Lastly, how could God allow evil forces to destroy His creation? Insights to these and other related questions are discussed in this article.

The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!!

THE CUTTING EDGE

"AND POWER WAS GIVEN TO HIM"

by

Mac Dominick

In the waning hours of the brisk autumn night, a vast company of ragged, wretched humanity groped its way through the oppressive darkness to a hillside just east of what just recently was Chattanooga, Tennessee. They did not gather to celebrate a festive occasion or to observe a religious ritual. Rather, they came desperately longing, praying, and hoping that the promises of the Great Man would shortly come to pass. They prayed that the sun would soon cast its light upon the darkened landscape, and awaken them from the nightmare that filled their lives with terrifying horror. The nightmare began a mere ten days earlier. Ten days and an eternity ago, their lives were filled with the daily routine of working, playing, caring, loving, and living in the manner they pleased. That completely changed when without warning, at 11AM EDT on that fateful Sunday morning, the unthinkable happened. Suddenly, in the twinkling of an eye, millions of people (including every young child and infant on the face of the earth) simply vanished into thin air. The chaos, panic, and horror of that moment was exponentially multiplied in a few short hours by massive earthquakes, volcanoes, and tidal waves worldwide. For the survivors of the chaos, life as they knew it was over. Dust and volcanic ash permeated the earth’s atmosphere to the point that light from the sun’s rays was totally obscured from the surface of the planet. This condition dictated that all life on Earth would soon perish.

However, at the bleakest hour when all hope seemed lost, the image of the Great Man appeared against the blackened sky for all on the earth to see. This image appeared as a hologram projecting the imposing figure of a devastatingly handsome man mounted on a magnificent white stallion. He did not speak audibly, but communicated telepathically with every individual on Earth. He explained that the planet had entered her "cleansing cycle" to purge an "undesirable element" that prevented the dawning of the "Golden Age". He further comforted the parents of the vanished children, assuring them that friendly extraterrestrials had rescued the children from this present terror and would return them safely after a brief period of intensive training. Finally, he announced that he alone possessed the power to control the functions of earth and sky. He decreed an end to the chaos and a miraculous clearing of the atmospheric veil by sunrise.

The desperate survivors all across the planet made their way to vantagepoints to witness the fulfillment of his words. As the day began to dawn, a single ray of sunlight penetrated the darkness—then another, and another, until the eastern sky was ignited in a dazzling display of brilliance. The crescendo of cheers and rejoicing that raced like wildfire from east to west soon became a sobering silence of reverence and awe. The image of the Great Man reappeared, this time against the background of an azure blue sky. Who but the long-awaited Messiah could possess such power over nature? Who had the power to dispute his claims or to challenge him with war? Who was more qualified to rule all of mankind in the "Golden Age" of peace? One by one, the vast majority of the world’s population fell to the ground in worship of the rider of the white horse.

Though portions of this scenario may be somewhat speculative, those who understand Bible Prophecy cannot dispute the end result. The Word of God teaches that this present age will climax with the seven-year period known as the Tribulation. The Tribulation will begin after the Church (all of those who have accepted by faith the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins) is caught away to heaven "in the twinkling of an eye" (I Thes.4:16-17, I Cor.15: 52). There will then arise a world ruler whom the Bible calls Antichrist or the Beast (I John 2:18, Rev. 13:1-10). This leader of the New World Order will be worshipped by all on the earth whose names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Rev. 13:8). He will appear as the great peacemaker, and will rule the entire world in the name of peace. However, this peace will be a false and temporary peace for the short span of 3½ years. During this 3½-year period, Israel will accept Antichrist as their long-awaited Messiah, the Jewish Temple will be rebuilt, and the Levitical sacrificial systems reinstituted. He will also be accepted by all other religions as the prophesied Holy One (Quetzelcoatl, Imam Madi, Maitreya, Soshyant, Hiram Abiff, Krishna, et.al.) establishing a new One World Religion. The book of Revelation describes him in this manner:

"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power

to the beast…And there was given unto him a mouth

speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was

given to him to continue forty and two months…and

power was given to him to make war with the saints and

to prevail against them; and power was given to him over

all kindreds, and tongues, and nations." (1)

The book of Daniel gives further enlightenment by declaring:

"And he shall speak great words against the Most

High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High,

and think to change times and laws; and they shall

be given into his hand until a time, times, and a

dividing of time." (2)

These passages reveal several noteworthy facts:

    1. Antichrist will not only desire to control all of humanity, but
    2. also the forces of nature. This is clearly seen by his desire to

      seek to change times (seasons) and laws (decrees).

    3. He will be given the power from an external source to accomplish
    4. these desires for a period of time (time [1], + times [2] + a dividing

      of time [½] = 3½ years).

    5. He will receive the necessary power to accomplish these goals

      from the dragon, i.e. Satan (and they worshipped the dragon who

      gave power unto the beast).

With the restraining power of the indwelling Holy Spirit taken from the earth by the Rapture of the Church, the New World Order will be a regime of unimaginable evil under the guise of a deceptive peace. The Lord Jesus Christ declared that this time would be "as the days of Noah were" (Mat. 24:37). Without going into a major discourse researching the "Days of Noah", there is certainly no doubt that evil held such a grip on the inhabitants of Planet Earth that God’s only recourse was to destroy the entire world by water. This same evil control will once again seize mankind, and will once again culminate in the outpouring of the wrath of God.

This prophetic scenario raises questions in the minds of those who would gain a clear understanding of God’s future plan for mankind.

  1. What would cause the average secular individual from the current materialistic society to worship Antichrist?
  2. Since the Bible teaches (without question) the omnipotence of God, how could Satan and his servants acquire such awesome power?
  3. Is there presently any evidence of technologies or trends to support the immanence of these events?

 

WHY WORSHIP ANTICHRIST

Visualize the most secular individual imaginable. This may be the guy at work who lives for nothing more than women, drinking beer, and watching the NFL. What would persuade this individual to fall on his face and worship a world ruler? When this individual is considered, suddenly the scenario presented in the introduction to this article does not seem so far-fetched. Other ingredients could also be added to the chain of events as described. Consider the horror evidenced by humanity in the film, "Independence Day". Add the mass disappearances of individuals, radical weather and earth changes as a precursor to alien invasion, and a miraculous destruction of the aliens by a single man with super-human power. Would this cause the most secular individual to forsake his vices and worship the Great Man? Absolutely. The benevolent priest-king and savior of the planet would command the worship of all but those not deceived by his satanic power.

GOD’S OMNIPOTENCE CIRCUMVENTED

The omnipotence of God is one of the most foundational teachings of Scripture. God establishes His power from the beginning pages of Genesis. The very fact that God created the heavens and the earth echoes His sovereignty over all of creation. He declared to Abram in Genesis 17:1, "I am the ALMIGHTY GOD…" God also declared to Job His control over all of His creation:

"By what way is the light parted, which scattereth

the east wind upon the earth? Who hath divided

a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or

a way for the lightning or thunder: to cause it to

rain on the earth where no man is…Hath the rain

a father, or who hath begotten the drops of dew

…Canst thou lift thy voice to the clouds, that the

abundance of water may cover thee?.. Canst thou

send lightnings… who can stay the bottles of

Heaven…?" (3)

In this conversation, God taught Job of His omnipotence. Yet, in a direct paradox concerning these very issues, Daniel (as illustrated earlier) reveals that Antichrist will not only seek to control the powers of nature, but that they will be given into his hand for 3½ years. How can this be true? Is God not sovereign over all? The answers to these questions are well defined in the same book of the Bible, Job. The Book of Job opens with the account of Satan coming before God to accuse the righteous of the earth (this in itself is a very revealing study). God relates to Satan that Job lived above reproach, and Satan could find no accusation to be made of Job. Satan retorted that Job only lived above reproach because of the many blessings he received from God. God then gave Satan permission to test Job’s faithfulness with the following statement:

"…Behold, all that he hath is in thy power…" (4)

Did Satan circumvent God’s omnipotence by attacking Job? Absolutely not. God retained all of His omnipotence as well as His sovereignty in allowing Satan to test Job. It is also this ascribing or assigning of power to Satan witnessed in future prophetic scenarios. God will grant to Satan such power as He wills to accomplish His purposes in accordance with His divine sovereignty. Satan then will issue this power to Antichrist and the remaining evil cast of the end-time drama.

As a note of warning, great care must be exercised to ALWAYS CONSIDER THE CONTEXT when interpreting prophetic passages. For example, when interpreted in the context of other Scripture, the infamous "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" revealed with the opening of the first four seals of Revelation 6, receive the power to work their evil deeds from Satan. These events, as will be later discussed, may well come from technological manipulation of "the forces of nature" by satanic influence. However, one must remember this power will only be given to Antichrist for 3½ years. The second 3½ years ("Great Tribulation"), will witness the loss of this power by Antichrist ("…they shall be given into his hands for a time, times, and a dividing of time." (Dan. 7:25). The sixth seal and the seventh seal (The "Trumpet Judgements") of the "Great Tribulation" will be supernatural judgements directly from God, and WILL NOT be based on the deceptive manipulation of natural forces by Satan and his minions. The sixth seal is of particular interest:

" And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal,

and lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun

became black as the sackcloth of hair, and the

moon became as blood; and the stars fell unto

the earth…and the heaven departed as a scroll

when it is rolled together; and every mountain

and island were moved out of their places. And

the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the

rich men,…and every bondman hid themselves in

in… the rocks of the mountains; and said to the

mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us, and hide us from

the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from

the wrath of the Lamb: FOR THE GREAT DAY

OF HIS WRATH IS COME: and who shall be able

to stand?’" (5)

How awesome this display of power must be! Consider that these men who are frightened out of their wits are those who SURVIVED THE CARNAGE OF THE SECOND, THIRD, AND FOURTH SEALS. One would imagine that all men would be oblivious to natural destruction, death, and disaster by this time. What will make this so different? This display of power will so awesome, so extreme, and so terrifying that none will deny that this is the wrath of ALMIGHTY GOD.

EVIDENCES FOR IMMANENT JUDGEMENT

Simply stated, preparation for Antichrist (noted previously as the Great Man) is certainly underway. Since the rebirth of Israel in 1948, humanity has witnessed the subtle, piece-by-piece laying of the groundwork that will produce the prophesied one-world system from the ashes of the Roman Empire. Richard Gardner admitted this in 1974 when he wrote in the CFR journal, Foreign Affairs:

"In short, the ‘house of world order’ will have to be built

from the bottom up rather than from the top down...an end

run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will

accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault…" (6)


This is further evidenced by the penchant of the global elite to follow Bible prophecy to the letter (unquestionably, they do not intentionally use the Bible as their guide, but ignorantly follow the exact sequence seen by God as He views apart from the time domain). For example, the book of Daniel predicts that a 10 Kingdom confederacy will rule the entire world during the Tribulation period. This confederacy will be under the ultimate rule of Antichrist. The Club of Rome in its September 17, 1973, report, Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System presented a model of this very system. The Club of Rome is an organization composed of scientists, industrialists, and international government officials who plan world government strategy and send reports to the wealthy "power elite" for implementation. (Information regarding the Club of Rome can be easily accessed at their website, www.clubofrome.org). This particular report, which reads as if it were taken directly from the writings of Daniel, establishes a plan of world government based on dividing the entire world into 10 "Kingdoms" controlled by a world dictator (see map below). (7)

In concert with this plan, there also exists in the world today a secret society guarding the descendants of a "royal bloodline". This bloodline is erroneously traced to ancient Israel’s King David —thus seemingly establishing an heir to reign over the earth from the Throne of David in Jerusalem. Many of those involved in the plans of the Club of Rome and other globalist groups seek to establish a priest-king from this "holy bloodline" as the leader of their world system. Based on this premise, several powerful men proclaim themselves as heir to the title, "King of Jerusalem". This is the perfect counterfeit strategy of Satan to deceive Israel into accepting Antichrist as their long-awaited Messiah.

Within all of these developments (there are too many others to list them all at this juncture), there exist undercurrents of a transfer of power to satanic control as the knowledge of mankind increases. For example, the technology required for implementation of the "Mark of the Beast" did not exist in 1948. However, in 1998, not only does the technology exist, but also the globalist elite are even encouraging the implanting of microchips in children which would facilitate the functions of "the mark" as described in the book of Revelation. (8) The technology for weather control and weather weaponry has been developed in government programs like the HAARP Project (see "A Terrifying Look at the Control of Weather Warfare—a Look at HAARP" by clicking the "Weather Control" button here at The Cutting Edge). (9) Telecommunication advances now make instantaneous worldwide satellite transmissions an every day occurrence. The development of these technologies, the desire for a one-world government, the building of a one-world church, and the events in Israel and the Middle East are more than convincing that the end of the age is nigh. The stage is set, the actors are brushing up on their lines, and the curtain is about to rise to reveal the climax to the drama of the last 2000 years.

The curtain rises at the beginning of Revelation 6. A close scrutiny of this chapter reveals that the opening of the first four seals extend power to Satan to implement his deceptive program. The fourth seal may very well indicate that power will be given through Satan for the Antichrist to eliminate much of the earth’s population. The demonic spirit guides are already revealing that 2 BILLON must be exterminated:

"John Randolph Price, the primary moving force

behind the ‘World Instant of Cooperation,’ was

told by his favorite spirit guide, ‘Asher,’ that ‘Nature

will soon enter her cleansing cycle....’ These individuals

[the two billion human beings who do not have the

'ring of protection’ around them] with their lower

vibratory rates will be removed during the next two

decades.... John Randolph Price was initially aghast at

the information and challenged his spirit guide

about it. ‘What I am hearing is both horrible and

hopeful,’ he said. ‘I know that one of the most serious

problems we have today is overpopulation, but wiping

more than 2 billion people off the face of the earth is a

little drastic, don't you think?’ Asher replied, ‘ . . . who are

we to say that those people did not volunteer to be a part

of the destruction and regeneration-for the purpose of

soul growth? Never forget that each individual has free will

and free choice.’" (10)

John Randolph Price is not the only one espousing this line, and the fact that this information has been published will certainly advance the deceptive nature of Satan’s plan at some point in the future. Furthermore, not only do the demonic spirits espouse this doctrine, but also world planners INSIST that "sustainable development" can only be achieved if the world’s population is drastically reduced. As a matter of fact, the "Global Biodiversity Assessment (GBA) authored at the 1992 "Earth Summit", suggests for the following adjustments to global population:

"… radical population control according to the GBA. The

section of the document covering the ‘growth in human

population and natural resource consumption’ suggests three

possible population models for a ‘sustainable’ global society.

1.An agricultural society – ‘in which most human beings

are peasants ... should be able to support 5 to 7 billion people...’

2.An industrialized world society – ‘at the North American

standard of living ... would be 1 billion.’

3.Semi-industrialized society - As the more frugal European

standard of living, 2 to 3 billion would be possible." (11)

A close study of the Seven Seals reveals that Antichrist will conquer in the name of and by peace. Daniel helps with this interpretation by recording; "…by peace he shall destroy many." (Dan. 8:25). However, his reign of peace will end with the opening of the second seal. The opening of the second seal will be close to the 3½-year mark of the Tribulation. The details of the war that occurs with the opening of this seal are revealed in the description of Russia’s attack on Israel in Ezekiel 38-39.

The opening of the fourth seal is of great interest in light of this discussion. Here is illustrated the release of the power of Satan to kill ¼ of the earth’s population with war, hunger, death, and attacks of beasts. All of these are possible to achieve with manipulation of the ionosphere. The HAARP Project can create explosions, cause drought, famine, floods, earthquakes, and incite the attacks of animals by the pulsing of Extra Low Frequencies (ELF). (12) The Discovery Channel confirmed this August 29th of this year. In a special program entitled "Shoot Not to Kill", ELF weapon technology’s effect on the psyche was revealed. (13) With this technology secretly controlled by the global elite, a power structure beyond imagination is under implementation. This transfer of power to satanic control could secretly give Antichrist the technology to achieve the exact scenario as listed in the book of Revelation.

 

BACK TO CHATTANOOGA

The desperate crowd on the hillside has been tragically deceived. They have fallen for THE LIE foretold in II Thessalonians 2:11-12. While they face the new day with renewed hope, all of those who fell to worship the Great Man will die within 7 years—the young and old alike—all who worship Antichrist will perish. The Great Man himself will be cast alive into the Lake of Fire, and his "Golden Age" will disintegrate in a few short years. God is in control and His righteous judgement will be exercised. With the demise of the New World Order and defeat of Antichrist, the Lord Jesus will establish His promised Kingdom on the earth. Those saints raptured prior to the Tribulation will return with Jesus and reign as priests and kings with Him for 1000 years (Rev. 20:6).

EPILOGUE

God put all that Job had in subjection to the power of Satan. Satan meant to use that power to destroy Job. But God, in His complete sovereignty, used the tragic occurrences in Job’s life to conform him even more to His perfect will. By the same token, God will convey to Satan all the power he needs for the ultimate deception at the end of this present age in order to facilitate His righteous judgement. The process of the transferring of that power is currently seen by the advances of technology now in the hands of those who would usher in the New World Order. The pieces are now coming into alignment, and the puzzle is almost complete. Are you prepared to face the growing deception? Do you know Christ as your savior? Is your family secure in the bond of Jesus Christ? The time is short. Please make your heart ready today.

Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.

If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.

We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.

Finally, we would love to hear from you.
