The Vigilance and signs of the times

More than ever, the question arises we can no longer rely on what we hear, read or see. Here we can include first of all, but not only, what we call the mass media, ie the written press, radio, TV, movies, internet, etc. or, mass formation or deformation, if we were to give credence to some, be they more or less in number. It is becoming increasingly clear that our only refuge in these times is into the Word of absolute truth, which has remained the same construct on which it was built. Just as the light of a candle shines brighter in the dark, so the Word of God, through its constant and eternal truths, shines even brighter in today’s society, where this is increasingly dominated by grey, mixed things, and relativity. The Lord will help society by looking to what is happening around us, to better understand the world we live in, what we are dealing with and who we should not trust.

It’s been discussed even obsessively debated during this period about the ‘mark of the beast,’ especially in the context of the Covid 19 pandemic and the controversy over-vaccination. This is also because the Bible tells us about events whose characteristic features can easily be confused or assimilated in the time in which we live. The Bible speaks in terms that are already recognised by most of us as the end times. One of the reference verses for this of which the Bible speaks is the much-discussed and not infrequently controversial text of Revelation chapter 13, especially verses 16-18:

‘And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.’
It seems pretty evident that there are two marks, the mark of the beast and the mark of the Lamb are meant to be seen as the mirror.

Two opposite signs, marking out as it were two different types of people, namely, the wicked on the one hand and the righteous believers on the other. It is worth mentioning from the beginning that St. John, who had this revelation over 1900 years ago, was unaware of the technology we have today. This proves once again the value of truth and authenticity of the Bible, as the revealed Word of God. Anyone should recognise that no one, not even in his most relevant dreams, could accurately describe the punctual unfolding of some events that would take place two thousand years after his death, as St. John did by divine revelation.

Why is this Bible verse so discussed and analysed these days?

The answer is quite simple, because it brings to our attention the notion of ​​(restrictions) both partial and temporary, especially, because of the stipulation for purchases that are related to the emergence of a vaccine, which is widely perceived, especially among Christians, as having the potential to identify with the ‘mark of the beast’. When the Bible speaks about the sign, it uses the Greek term ‘charagma’, in referring to something permanent and irreversible, that is, once you have taken it, you cannot get rid of it.

In addition, the term ‘charagma’ is used both in the sense of (ownership), that you belong to someone in the sense of identity, through which you are recognised and identified by them. The ‘mark of the beast’ on the forehead and right hand can be seen both as an element related to spiritual symbolism and something functional, present in the sphere of daily life.

Symbolically, when we discuss the ‘mark of the beast’ on the forehead or on the right hand we are talking about a stipulation of control at the level of thinking expressed by the word “forehead” and, respectively, at the level of practical activities represented by the word (hand). But, there is also a very simple and functional explanation for these two things ‘forehead and hand’. Practically speaking, the two places are the most convenient places when it comes to identification. The ears, nose, chin, neck, or legs are not the favourite places for such operations.

The forehead is a very convenient place where an identification mark can be placed, while the hand is a suitable place for scanning someone, so that entity can be ‘read’, and more easily identified. So, it’s about functionality and logic, having both spiritual and a daily symbolic meaning. It is worth mentioning that the word ‘charagma’ is also used in the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 17, verse 29: ‘Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.’

The idea of ​​sculpting is emphasised as a final form. The early church fathers were quite agreed that the image of God in man consisted primarily in man’s rational and moral characteristics, and in his capacity for holiness. It can be seen that all the biblical teachings are practical, life-giving teachings. God does not defy our existential elements, the way we live every day.

But Satan also proves to be quite rational and practical in entering the area of ​​human functionality. Three aspects related to the texts of Revelation attest to the sign of the beast. Three important words that make sense to increase our vigilance, given that no one can prove that the vaccine is the ‘mark of the beast’ just as no one can ignore the resemblance of what is described in the Bible to what is happening today. In this situation of uncertainty, it seems much more beneficial to understand the events that we are going through as a (test) so that we can apply ourselves better for spiritual benefits. This is also necessary from the perspective of motivation that many of the burdens and threats now being placed on humanity can be seen as apocalyptic pressures.

Even if others are more suspicious considering that we are talking about obedience, it would be more important for us to test ourselves to see how well we can resist the conditions of current, pressures, hardships, and apocalyptic threats, no matter when the time will come. The times in which we live are unclear and ambiguous, in which the whole system of values ​​is re-discussed, with the thought of change or, as some say a (reset) or (build back better) is needed. This can create the ideal conditions of mass deception. One can easily slip and slide on such terrain, thinking that we know enough to get the job done. This with the intention of ensuring continuity of lifestyle we have become docile, lethargic and fear mongers. Growing towards such a state of affairs, the most restrained attitude is the one that demands the most caution and what the Bible teaches for all situations where the confusion is present.

The watchword is: Watch out! You can easily be trapped or deceived. This is also the speciality of the evil one who has mastered the art of deceiving. ‘It were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.’ (Matthew 24:24)

The knowledge of the counsel and warnings contained in God’s Word is more paramount today than ever before, why is that?

Because eternal life is explicitly involved. Any mistake, any unfounded decision on the guidance of God’s truth, respectively, on the guidance of the Holy Spirit, can be fatal for us. That’s why the (watch out) warning is more necessary than ever, so beware of deception. From this perspective, the first word to remember is what the Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew chapter. 24:4 “Take heed that no man deceive you.” The context in which He speaks is precise of the apocalyptic times. In addition, Revelation 19:20 reminds us of the ‘charagma’: “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the (mark) of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.”

The first thing to keep in mind is that for the people to receive the mark of the beast and worship him, they first must be deceived. So, someone or something has to entrap them. They will be as they really are, some who will not be ashamed to say directly that “I am Christ” Matthew 24:5 clearly states, “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” However, we must be convinced, no one is going to write (the mark of the beast) on the label. The powers to be will not openly come out and say: “Take the mark of the beast.” Most people have heard about the mark, so they have been warned by the Bible.

Also, don’t forget that Satan never went to the man and said: ‘I am the devil!’ Disciples are warned that Satan knows how to disguise himself as an (angel of light). ‘Likewise, the impostors did not come saying:’I am the man of the devil!’ But they came and will come saying and simulating good thoughts and intentions. And we, like Eve in the past, will see that all promoted things are pushed as good, desirable and mandatory. Possibly the greatest deception of some Disciples will be when they see pushed intentions of humanitarian charity, climate, social, material, financial, professional, cremation, and health benefits.

They will be convinced by scientific arguments spoken by people with undisputed social and professional backgrounds, whilst others will be billionaires who may be not qualified to discuss certain topics, but money talks. Using propaganda techniques, persuasion and skilled manipulation, sometimes even biblical texts are invoked. Not even the antichrist will proclaim ‘I am the antichrist.’ This is not his way, he will not use the name of the antichrist. All this is so that he can deceive the masses more easily and effectively. It is expected that everything will be done intelligently, well thought out and at the right time. Just as John the Baptist prepared the way for the Lord, so the antichrist will have the people prepare the way for him to appear as a great deliverer, a saviour with a charismatic presence full of good intentions and convincing potential. And this, of course, after preparing both the political, economic, social, and financial fields at the heart of the people, so he can be admired and received well.

Everything has been long ago prepared for the right time to explode onto the scene. The powers and principalities of the supernatural realm will determine the cause that will lead to the desired effect. There will be changes and trappings on social, political, financial, economic, and medical industries. History will also be altered as the end justifies the means. Satan is not shy to trick even God’s chosen people the Jews considered to be the repository of great intelligence right up until this today. Even more, we can say that his favourite target in the last two thousand years, is the church of Jesus Christ. Just as the Christians of old were in the destructive sight of the wicked, through his people, nowadays it is expected that again Christians will be the first to be directly or indirectly targeted, deceived or taken out of society, accused, convicted or even exterminated.

At the same time, it would not be surprising for the Jewish people to be the most deceived in these strange times of ours. The Bible teaches that at some point the antichrist will be able to negotiate with the Jews and convince them of the possibility of him securing their peace. In this sense, there is talk of a seven-year peace, which will be violated in the middle of its period. Even God’s chosen people, the Jews, will see in him a great benefactor. Apparently, we would have expected at least them to be more oriented, having their past spiritual experience.

From this perspective, since time immemorial, the Lord Jesus Christ knew what He was saying, when, as if sadly in the voice, He rebuked them: ‘I come in my Father’s name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.’ (John 5:43) The one who will come is not expected to have the image borrowed from the walls of traditional Christian churches, ie a black devil (nor even red!) with horns, tail, hooves and fork. Surely he will convince in everything from appearance and charisma to the wearer, to display a charitable spirit. He will know what and how to promise, aiming at fulfilling the basic needs of the people, especially food, health, security, personal safety, well-being, peace and much more. But in order to reach the need for his magnetic presence and help, he will know how to orchestrate events, the situation by which to determine the cause, the principles that justify the obligations for food, security, and peace of the masses.

And all this from the upper to the lower levels of society. People with great intellect and even moral trustworthiness he will utterly deceive by motivational propaganda causing them to align with his plan. William Gurnall captures the truth of the matter, here are some of his ideas: “Satan’s favourite ambassadors fall into four categories: prominent and powerful citizens; populace with special intellect and diplomacy; holy people or at least those who have the reputation of saints; and folk capable of influencing those in power.

The first category:
Satan chooses are prominent and powerful people. They can be statesmen or members of the Church. If he can, he will secure both his throne and the pulpit, as well as the generals who command the entire army. A head of state can greatly influence thousands of people and corrupt the commander who will bring the whole army into play with him. Conditioning people to accept maybe soldiers on the street could be the first tactic.
In addition to infiltrating the ranks of the rulers, satan also targets church officials, leaders, elders and deacons. We must remember the church is not declining and never will, it’s a constant thorn in the side of the evil one, hence it’s still as strong today as it was two thousand years ago. Isn’t there a better way to infest a city than to poison the very water source?

The second category:
Satan also hires people with a special intellect and diplomatic spirit. What a great achievement for them to preach their cursed ideologies on the podium to the great brains of history! The greatest idol that intelligent people glorify and make the icon of their faith in human thinking, from which many heresies start:

The third category:
He also likes to maintain those who have the reputation of the saints. Such is the power of Satan and the weakness of most of us, for the holiest man to use his bait to deceive others.

The fourth category:
Satan manipulates people capable of influencing those in power. If he can draw family or friends to his side, then he has an easier path to the objective truth of his desires. Some martyrs confessed that their hardest job was to overcome the prayers and tears of friends and relatives, and Paul himself expressed this when he said, “Why do you weep and break my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus ”(Acts 21:13)
William Gurnall, “The Christian in Full Armor” Volume 1, pp. 68-71)

“So, a warning is needed: in order not to be deceived, be interested and analyse Satan’s tricks and get acquainted with his tactics.”

In the conclusion with this idea, the keyword is and remains: (deception) It is necessary for each one of those interested in the truth and their eternal life to have their own answers to the questions they ask, which provoke today’s society more than ever. Most people are so switched off to the reality unfolding around them, that they are being switched on by an alternative vile source. Ultimately the aim is attacking credibility starting from the top with the decision-makers.

In other words, you need to answer to whom do you give your credibility too, in the context in which a government can often promote and support with public money, programs and agendas foreign to God’s principles. How much moral credibility do you give, and how much do you expose yourself to the media influences of government or private institutions, political groups, companies of all kinds, institutions that are known to rally the police to act more and provoke a response in the media?

Are you easily led by the TV bombardment of adverts and propaganda?

How much do you expose yourself to a system that is not unfamiliar with censorship, manipulation, intimidation and for which the free expression of opinion is related to diplomacy or conspiracy theory?

Conspiracy theories do have elements of truth to at least some if not all of their claims, hence many class them as truth-tellers. From this perspective, another important thing is required, the need for self-information from at least two or three different credible sources. Reality showcases that we live in a world that is ripe in propaganda, spiderwebbed in lies and deception. But what is the ultimate purpose of this blatant deception?

From a biblical perspective and not only, but it’s also always been about total obedient control and worship. One of the spiritual principles is neither God nor Satan can force anyone to worship them. Worship by force has no value. You can force someone to get on their knees in front of you, but that doesn’t mean that they bow down to you. Worship must involve personal, freely consecrated will. The whole biblical truth is under the sign of the desire to worship either God or Satan. People that don’t believe in God are worshipping the Beast without even realising it. Unbelief is a sign of worshipping the Beast, just like everything immoral is the same.

God says it openly, unequivocally: ‘I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.’ (Isaiah 45: 5-6)

‘For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none else.’ (Isaiah 45:18)

‘Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.’ (Exodus 20: 3-6)

In conclusion:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3: 16-18

God is not shy, He clearly says who he is and what he wants. He speaks bluntly without hesitation, even if we like it or not. The Creator requires humanity who He made in His image and likeness to have a personal relationship with Him.
The devil wants you distracted. It doesn’t matter what he has you distracted on as long as you aren’t focused on Him first. The devil requires you to profess your faith in Jesus Christ with your mouth, but for your actions to contradict Christianity. He wants you to worship him so technology i.e TV media will be used to promote unholy life, actions, and motives.

It is no coincidence that he is also called the ‘father of lies. He will say: ‘Did God say that? Ah, no it’s not like that! Be free, ‘do what thou wilt’ (quote from the satanic Bible) Or, in other words: ‘Just do it (a phrase used by the sports brand Nike. Nike is a pagan god) and eat from the tree. Let us remember the enticement of Jesus in the wilderness. He began by tempting Him by satisfying some basic everyday needs, that of sustenance, and continued with baiting Him concerning His identity and ‘social’ recognition: ‘If you are the Son of God.’ If Jesus had met his needs to eat food after forty days of fasting or to prove His identity in spiritual terms, this means obedience and obedience means to worship. It must be said openly that obedience is the highest act of worship. The Word teaches that obedience is more than just sacrifices:

1 Samuel 15:22-23
And Samuel said, “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.”

Ultimately, what are sacrifices? There is only one answer: they are a form of worship. Satan requires you to buckle under pressure for your freedom and rights. He will do this through some kind of agenda, event, or worldly problem that does not seem to want to go away. People will think that they are doing good but the truth will be mixed with falsehood. Freedom and many things we take for granted will be slowly removed, some for a (supposed) greater cause, while others will be through social pressures. One key prohibition is as follows:

Revelation 13:17
“And that no man might buy or sell,”

Buying and selling involve much more. In fact, what does it mean to buy and sell?
The word (mark of the beast) comes from the Greek word, (charagma) which is used to describe the branding of livestock or cattle. The purpose of this mark is to identify the individual as a loyal follower of the Antichrist. True disciples will reject the mark, whilst those who take it are knowingly rejecting God and the Word. Many disciples will not stand firm and endure to the end forfeiting their faith may be to see their family abroad or other temptations. We must remember faith without grace you can fall off the narrow path and Jesus can say “I never knew you.”

In other words, the mark is not something “innocent” people will be tricked into accepting it. When the false prophet successfully brands unbelievers with the mark everyone will have to display it in order to (buy and sell). The first standardised coins were created in what is now western Turkey in the 7th century B.C. They were made of electrum, a naturally occurring blend of gold and silver. In Rome, coins were minted near the temple of the goddess Juno Moneta, which gave us the words mint and money. If we take away physical currency for a digital brand, then this can be ultimately programmed with stipulations if required.

For example, there is a food shortage, so digital currency will be programmed so the individual won’t be able to purchase certain food types which may be running out, or deliberately they don’t want you to buy. To have money requires work or a method of receiving currency through good works as a social score system. Social life will be impacted greatly in this endeavour.

There may come a time when socially you are deemed (not part of society) and your money may be stopped, and work might be hard to acquire.

Decisions that we make under fear and pressure can lead to fatal consequences regarding salvation and eternal life.

Can you allow yourself to be excluded from society for the greater good of eternal life to come?

Can you handle being banned from the workplace, public places, public transport, schools, supermarkets, pubs, and medical care?

It must be emphasised that all the restrictions and constraints, regardless of their intensity or the time in which they are activated, aim at the control and permissiveness given by the evil one through his people.

There might be isolation for some away from society?

(But) this is not all, the Bible also tells us about some really terrifying realities, namely beheadings and systematic killings:

Revelation 20: 4
“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark (charagma) upon their foreheads or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

In his desire to be worshipped, the devil disguised as an (angel of light) walks patiently but prowls like a wolf. Disciples who are versed in the scripture are able to stand firm, using the armour of God as a tool to thwart his advances. But even the armour of God can have chinks inside if faith without Grace is not applied daily. Anybody not in the bosom of Jesus Christ will sweep away many difficulties and accept much falsehood, as they are not guided by the Holy Spirit. The Bible emphasises elements specific to that period so that it can be identified by anyone out of a clear desire to warn, to be aware of, and to rule out deception as much as possible.

At the same time, it warns the idea of ​​vigilance, emphasising the need for (attention) so as not to be deceived or to wake up too late. What we are bring told by the authorities must be challenged and the truth of the matter must be judged by multiple sources for authenticity. We mustn’t be fooled by technology into believing a lie. Technology creates dependencies, reduces human effort, security concerns, creates a social disconnect, manipulate information to suit personal needs, and becomes addictive.

Technology on its own is not good or evil. It is the free will that we make with these processes that can help or harm others. It is easy to blame the tool because it can be personally challenging to look at the actions of a fellow being. So the best attitude remains at this time, to discern all things under the guidance of the Spirit of God. That’s because if everything that’s going on these days turns out to be just a (false flag) it’s possible that when the true (sign of the beast) comes, things will sound very much like what we’ve been through for the last two years. In other words, the same confusion creates the ideal conditions for a large-scale deception, panic and fear.

Why will it be similar to what is happening today? Because the Bible even if it doesn’t mention exactly the time or the hour, does speak clearly about these events.

Jesus himself gives us clues about this period, which are widely covered throughout the 13th chapter of Mark, of which verse 19 is worth mentioning in the context of our discussion:

“For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.”

Then the persecution and extermination of humanity will be taken into account, as wickedness reaches alarming heights, faith in God will diminish, and because of the increase of (iniquity), the love of many will grow cold. And, as throughout history which often repeats itself, Christians will be considered aliens, extremists, and therefore excluded as much as possible from modern society. Jesus taught His disciples:

Mark 13: 32-37
“But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Take you heed, watch and pray: for you know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch you therefore: for you know not when the master of the house comes, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”

In conclusion, let us mention one of the greatest consequences of which the Bible speaks related to the mark of the beast:

Revelation 16:2
“The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.”

It should be noted that when God’s wrath will begin, the mark of the beast is already present on the forehead or right hand of man. The martyrdom of those who did not obey and did not take the mark of the beast is also recorded. The church has already been raped, with all its martyrs and saints.

The wrath of God means an angry response on God’s part to human disobedience, rejecting the truth and following evil. God is righteous. And he will judge us according to His righteous standard. God’s wrath against sinners is nothing more than giving them what they deserve. With this in mind the wrath of God respectively is the chalices. The first chalice will bring ‘a bad and painful wound’ as punishment in their very bodies, of those who had the mark of the beast and those who worshipped its icon. We see the end of this in the book of Revelation.

Revelation 14:9-11
“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worships the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”

To be close to God, repentance, holiness and vigilance matters more than ever. And in this context, rebellion in any form or manifestation is excluded. Evil cannot be overcome by its own vices, but the Bible reminds us that it can be overcome with good:

Romans 12:21
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Evil and falsehood are defeated by the truth, just as darkness is driven away by the light and hatred are driven away by love. It is better to turn on a light in a house than to drive away from the darkness with a stick. The secret of the Christian life is not to look at the waves and the winds, but to the One who walks on the waves, and the One who is alive at the right hand of the Father, knowing that He is at the helm of our own personal and universal history.

God has never ever been out of control, he is not taken by surprise, and he is not overwhelmed by the situation. The following warnings are more current than in other periods of time: watch out, pay attention, be careful, weigh things up, do not rush, do not treat things superficially and easily, no matter how interesting and beneficial it would be or seem. And above all, let’s pray and ask for light from God and guidance from the Holy Spirit. The mark of the beast is permanent and irreversible. Whatever form the mark will be, it will certainly not be called the mark of the beast. There will be many signs and symbols that point out things are wrong.

Modern science and technology may surprise with their ways of engraving or sculpting the outside or inside of the human body. In fact, it would be wiser to take into account the possibility of the direct involvement of technology with everything it entails, including nanotechnology. For some time now there has been a progression in the direction of nanotechnology. There is already talk of nano tattoos and nano-crystals that can be infused. It is an invisible (mark) that can be injected into the human body. This can cause irreversible consequences and patten the individual with a stamp of ownership. To love your life in the biblical sense is as follows:

John 12:25
“He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.”

It’s a stark reminder that this existence is temporary. What are a few years more or less with the perspective of eternity? Ultimately, the purpose of the Christian’s soul is not this life. The soul of a true disciple leads up to eternal life:

Revelation 12: 11-12
“By the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.”

Propaganda and coercive persuasion will be thrust more especially of a biased or misleading nature.

So ask yourself are you brainwashed by the world or washed in the Word of God?

If your brain is washed by the Holy Spirit it functions correctly. We put ourselves at the centre of the universe and think more highly of ourselves than God, exactly like Lucifer did. We become our own standard which is standard-less. Being washed in the world and standard-less we trust our own faulty reasoning when it comes to making decisions that have already been brainwashed by the agenda.

This process of neither trusting God nor honouring him in our thinking is foolishly self-centred and leads the heart down the path to darkness to become a puppet on a string easily shaped like sheep.

Creating a Propaganda Ministry was a novel idea for Germany in its infant years. Governmental propaganda organizations had tended to be temporary committees necessitated by war or disguised as ministries of information. Indeed, Goebbels initially opposed the term propaganda, recognising that in popular usage, both in Germany and abroad, it was associated with lies. A lie told often enough becomes the truth. If we look at his aim to provide all German citadels both a radio, he could then brainwash them with propaganda Hitler desired. They can take over the health care structure, government’s, the welfare system, money ideology, education rule, shops, business, but they will NEVER take over Gods remnant church of saved born-again disciples.
