I am a Christian teacher, author, and lecturer. Most importantly, I am a truth-seeker. My research has led me to both believe in and defend the veracity of the Bible, evaluating my own personal views in light of its teachings along the way. In addition to my blogs, I have written several books: "The Death Myth," "God Made the Aliens," "Spiritual Things," and most recently, "Missing Verses: 15 Beliefs the Bible Doesn't Teach." My hope in these endeavors is to give skeptics reasons to believe, to strengthen the faith of those who already do, and to challenge each of us to truly evaluate our own worldviews.

A Cold Wind is Blowing: Narcissistic Behavior and the Last Days

(If you have been affected by Narcissistic abuse or are simply interested in learning more about this critical topic, then I invite you to visit my YouTube Channel. I upload multiple times a week. Come and join the community!)

We were told that it would come to pass, and here we are.

Nearly two thousand years ago, the apostle Paul wrote to his protégé, Timothy, warning him—and all who would later read his letter—about the evil behavior that would be rampant in the last days:

“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these” (2 Tim. 3:1-5, NASB).

There can be no clearer and more definitive description of narcissistic behavior than this passage. It hits every note and leaves nothing to be desired.

I have already done a deep dive into the finer details of this passage elsewhere. In this article, I wish to describe the phenomenon of these traits and generally describe the dire consequences of our current situation. The rampant increase in toxic human behavior—chiefly as it is seen and described in the term “narcissism”—is one of the most alarming developments on the planet.

We live in perilous times, and human behavior has scarcely ever been so evil.

Trust Your Senses

Rest assured that every one of us—yes, everyone walking this planet—has encountered narcissistic individuals. The reality, however, is that most of us never identified them as such.

We thought the person was “mean” or “insensitive.” We likely dismissed them as simply being difficult to get along with, a common jerk. While these types of people no doubt exist, many that we encounter are something altogether more devious. If you recall the characteristics mentioned in the passage above (2 Tim. 3:1-5), we see that the rabbit hole goes much deeper.

Certain individuals we have come across poked fun and made degrading comments at our expense, but they were “only joking.” They criticized us “for our own good.” They triangulated us with those in their proximity—with coworkers, friends, family members, former romantic partners, and many from the opposite sex—to invoke jealousy and insecurity within us. They regularly pulled away on a whim, either giving us silent treatment or stonewalling us. They pushed our boundaries to the limits and made us question our very sense of self.

Strangely, the rollercoaster of emotions made us want to please them even more.

Whenever they knew they had pushed a little too far—energetically sensing that we were pulling away from them—they chose to give us a glimpse of the things we had liked about them in the beginning: the things we experienced during the “love bomb.” We once more saw their charming smiles, infectious laughter, romantic gestures, affirming compliments, and warm validation. In doing so, they breadcrumbed us back in for another round of abuse.

So went the cycle, over . . . and over . . . and over again.

When they finally realized that there was nothing left to take from us, they instantly discarded us for the next opportunity: for the person or situation they had been setting up behind our backs throughout the course of the relationship. Either that, or they forced us to reverse discard them because we just couldn’t take any more of the abuse. They still went on to the next opportunity, as though we never existed.

Does this scenario sound familiar? Chances are, you have either experienced this for yourself or are well-acquainted with someone who has.

This is the behavior that is now rampant within our world. This is the product of those who are “lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.”

If you have noticed this type of manipulative behavior around, and that it seems to be growing, then I have this to tell you: trust your senses.

Trust the Numbers

Not only is the rise in Narcissistic behavior predicted in Scripture—and is far more prevalent than it ever has been—but it also proves itself out in the numbers.

Some of the world’s leading experts on Narcissism are now stating—from a purely clinical perspective—what those with spiritual discernment into the matter have been shouting for some time. While it once sounded insane to suggest that upwards of 15-20 percent of the population are full-blown narcissists, it is now openly being stated by those with the “respected degrees” to prove it.

Of particular note is Dr. Ramani Durvasula, who has counseled thousands of people who display tremendous amounts of narcissistic traits. She describes NPD—Narcissistic Personality Disorder—as a “personality style” rather than a diagnosis. In other words, our concern should not be with who is professionally diagnosed—since few ever are—but with the behavior we see around us every day.

For this observation, I genuinely salute her. Behavior is what truly reveals one’s personality rather than a clinical diagnosis.

In her extensive professional opinion, the true number of people who exhibit enough traits for us to consider them a “narcissist” is a staggering 15-20 percent. In case those percentages are not registering, let’s look at this another way. When you are out and about on a daily basis, roughly 1 in every 6 people you encounter is a narcissist. While it can vary depending on the demographic, this would generally be our collective experience.

Worse, these figures don’t include the much larger number of people who exhibit many narcissistic traits but aren’t necessarily far enough down the path of darkness to warrant the title. This makes sense, as narcissistic traits are essentially evil traits: the characteristics portrayed by corrupted humanity who has neither repented nor been transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I talk extensively about this issue in this video.

Does this mean that narcissists are now all around us, and that we are encountering them on probably a daily basis? Well, yes—yes it does.

A “Chilling” Conclusion

During his ministry, the Lord himself addressed the increase in unloving and unaffectionate individuals that will appear at the end of the age. When the apostles explicitly asked him: “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”, one of the items Jesus mentioned was this:

 “And because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will become cold” (Mt. 24:12, NASB).

We could spend time discussing how lawlessness has increased, but the latter part has more bearing on this discussion.

The phrase, “will grow cold,” is an especially interesting one. The term from which this word is derived is psuchó, and Matthew 24:12 is the only time it’s used in all of Scripture. It is a future tense term that is more basically translated as “to make cool,” but it can be more deeply described in this way:

“a spiritual energy blighted or chilled by a malign or poisonous wind.”

Imagine a cold wind of demonic power blowing across the earth which literally puts people’s love on ice. This is what Jesus said will occur in the last days.

Also notice that Jesus said most people’s love will dissipate in such a way. He did not say a few, some, or another parallel statement; he said that the majority of people will be affected.

As I have been trying to illustrate, we now live in such a world. We do not need to wait for another day or a time in the future; Narcissistic behavior is utterly rampant.

As I previously said, trust your senses. If you don’t trust your senses, then trust the numbers. If trust neither your senses nor the numbers, then at least—I implore you—trust the words of Jesus and Paul. If you trust none of this, then there is an excellent chance that you are one of the people that I have described within this article.

To those with eyes to see and ears to hear, I leave you with this message. Understand that the days Paul warned Timothy about are now upon us. A “spiritual energy”—one chilled by a malign or poisonous wind—is fully at work within our world.

Look to Christ, hide yourself within him, and walk the narrow path. He is our only protection from the Narcissistic creatures around us.

The Greatest Heresy

(Pre-reading note: This is one my longer articles, but I assure you that it’s one of my most important. Please take the time to read and reflect on it)

For many years now, I have observed a great heresy growing within the church.

If you are familiar with my articles or books, then my exposure of heresies will come as no surprise to you. However, this is one unlike any other I have spoken against. In fact, I can safely say that—in my estimation—it’s the greatest heresy in all the world.

What if I told you that you can be saved while choosing to live a life of decadence and debauchery?

What if I said that we can abide in Christ while satisfying every carnal desire of the flesh?

What if I guaranteed you that there can be the everlasting assurance of life in God’s Kingdom, even if you chose to follow Satan and make sacrifices to the Baphomet on his behalf?

Naturally, I would never—Lord forbid—make such blasphemous and heretical claims. However, there are plenty of pastors and church leaders that are now doing that very thing.

Worse yet, these beliefs are becoming the normative “Christian” understanding of salvation. The Great Heresy of our time—and perhaps, of all time—has been around since the early church but is now reaching a fever pitch.

Its name? Free Grace Theology

(This is otherwise known as Easy Believism, or Hyper-Grace Theology).

In this article, I am going to describe to you the basic tenants of Free Grace theology and allow some of its many proponents to blow your mind with its logical implications. Afterwards, I will make a succinct case as to why this view is not only demonstrably false but is nothing short of Satan’s handiwork.

_____________

What is Free Grace Theology?

Free Grace theology, like any theological movement, displays a fair degree of diversity in thought and nuance. However, it’s imperative to stay on task and discuss the central tenants of the perspective.

The main pillar of Free Grace theology (FG, from here on) is that belief in Jesus alone saves and that nothing we do has any bearing on salvation. Thus, salvation is a free gift that is given to a person simply based upon their belief in Jesus and that belief alone. Here is how Free Grace International—a very prominent group that promotes this doctrine—summarizes this:

“Jesus offers salvation to us freely, yet this message continually gets muddied by many who say that our lives must look different and must be filled with good works. We believe that our lives should look different, but that this transformation comes through continual discipleship and sanctification, and the transformed life is not required to prove one’s salvation.”

Note the statement that our lives should look different once saved but are not required to. This will come up again in a later section (though you may already see the problem.)

Herein lies the crux of the argument. Pulling on specific verses or passages of Scripture, Free Grace proponents hold that salvation is obtained by believing in Jesus and has nothing whatsoever to do with our obedience, a visible change in lifestyle (i.e. transformation), or the manifestation of spiritual fruits. Below are a couple of the verses that are popularly quoted, though there are others:

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Eph. 2:8-9, ESV).

“The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God” (Jn. 3:18, NASB).

Moreover, salvation cannot be lost and is a guaranteed promise for all who have believed in Jesus. However, “belief” is a rather nebulous term in FG theology. While this is one of the nuances of the doctrine, it essentially means to accept the proposition that Jesus is Lord and that he died for our sins.

In other words, it is largely a mental acknowledgment and does not extend further into placing one’s ultimate trust in Christ or some stronger definition that would include action.

_____________

The Many Problems

To be sure, FG theology appears—at first blush—to not only be appealing but to even be consistent with Scripture. They do quote the Bible to make their case, after all.

However, the devil is once again in the details.

There are so many problems and so little time. Let me summarize several of them, and then point you toward the video resource I recently put together. The first problem is that FG theology is based upon isolating certain verses that fit their needs while either ignoring or distorting the ones that don’t. This practice is sometimes called “cherry-picking” in the theological community, and FG proponents are masters at it.

For example, they are eager to quote any passage the speaks about belief as being the only prerequisite in salvation but make no mention of the ones that describe additional requirements. For example, texts like John 3:16 and 3:36 are quoted because they speak only about belief, while texts that speak about the need to repent and/or be baptized—such as Mark 16:16 or Acts 2:38—are completely neglected. To them, repentance and baptism would be a “work” and, thus, would not be necessary even though the plain reading of the texts require it.

Speaking of works, FG proponents are happy to quote a text like Romans 3:28 but will openly ignore a text like James 2:24. The reason is simple: while Romans declares that justification comes by faith apart from the “works of the law,” James declares that a person is justified by both faith and works.

Based on their understanding of Scripture, the two verses are completely contradictory.

In reality, however, they are not at all. One only needs to understand that Paul was talking specifically about the “works of the law”—that is, the Mosaic Law of the OT—and not about all actions believers may be required to undertake. I explain this in detail within this video. In any event, they cannot make this distinction either because then, Paul’s words wouldn’t provide evidence in favor of their view. They must distort the meaning of passages that don’t align with FG doctrine, if they don’t outright ignore them.

This gets to the second problem I will address here, which is that they simply distort passages that don’t fit their agenda. James 2 is a great example. Instead of seeing James’ clear case that action must accompany belief in salvation, they twist the context to suggest that James was referring to being disciplined by God or not being approved by men for their lack of works.

Another example would be Matthew 7:21-23, which discusses the many people that will be turned away by Christ at the end. They actually make the case that the ones being condemned—who Jesus “never knew”—were the ones who thought their own works and obedience were necessary in salvation. You heard that right; those to whom Jesus will declare, “I never knew you; depart from me,” are individuals who believed their works factored into salvation.

This is a common FG view, even though the passage makes it clear what Jesus was talking about:

“And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

In declaring that these people were “workers of lawlessness,” it is clear that they were condemned for practicing corruption. So, in truth, this passage is saying precisely the opposite of what the FG camp thinks; evil works can condemn someone, even though they believe in Jesus. While they were doing good in the name of Jesus, they were evidently practicing evil in many aspects of their lives. This perfectly explains how many can be involved in ministry and claim Jesus their entire lives yet be rejected at the end.

After all, many are called but few are chosen (Mt. 22:14).

A third problem with FG theology is that they clearly confuse entering salvation with remaining in salvation. Since they love to use the account of the criminal on the cross (Lk. 23:39-43)—which is an anomaly and not a general teaching—to prove that all people can be saved by belief apart from action, I shall turn this example on them. It is true that the criminal entered salvation by virtue of his faith in Jesus, without having to bring obedience or good deeds with him.

However—and I can’t say this strongly enough—if the criminal had somehow been removed from the cross to live for some period of years afterwards, he would have been expected to be obedient and to produce fruit. In other words, entering salvation has nothing to do with our deeds but remaining in salvation certainly does.

This is precisely why using the criminal on the cross to prove anything about the general nature of salvation, the need (or lack thereof) to be baptized, etc., is a terrible hermeneutical practice.

Another way of characterizing this problem is to note that they make a hard break between justification and sanctification, to the extent that there is little or no connection between them. Justification is when we are declared righteous before God and our standing is instantly changed; apart from any additional works of our own, we have asked Jesus into our lives and, thus, have entered salvation through faith in him. This is what occurred with the criminal on the cross.

Sanctification, on the other hand, refers to the process of being made holy. This is the lifelong effect of cooperating with God to become more like Christ, and it absolutely involves dedication and obedience on our part.

There is much more that could be said about these concepts, but this provides a good summary of what is involved.

To FG supporters, sanctification need not ever exist in salvation. Being made holy is completely about the rewards we will receive in this life and the next, but it has nothing to do with being saved. They will sometimes describe any change we might show as a matter of discipleship, which is—surprise, surprise—advised but not required.

One would participate in discipleship to live a better life, to be of service to others, and to receive greater rewards . . . but it would not be done because it is necessary in salvation.

One final problem worth mentioning—while there are many more possibilities—is that Scripture is replete with crystal clear examples of where obedience, good works, and the need to bear fruit is both commanded and said to be essential in salvation. There are so many examples to mention that a separate blog would be in order. Fortunately, I have written such an article already. I refer you there if you need the evidence.

Overall, the FG perspective is highly selective, disingenuous, and demonstrably antithetical to the overall narrative of Scripture.

The Horrifying Implications

There are excellent reasons why I am so dedicated to exposing the Free Grace heresy for the deception that it is.

This perspective is the epitome of a false gospel, though they believe that Lordship Salvation—the view that Jesus must be the Lord of your life and that salvation must be accompanied by a transformed life—is the real heresy.

The Free Grace doctrine, then, is one that can lead to eternal damnation.

I do not say this lightly. Obviously, not every false teaching—or even every heresy—is a salvation issue. This, however, most definitely is. In fact, it’s the epitome of a salvation issue. This involves the very nature of salvation itself. If—as I have shown, and Scripture is clear about—salvation must result in a changed life, then accepting the Free Grace view can easily lead one to condemnation. Remember the quote from Free Grace International:

“We believe that our lives should look different, but that this transformation comes through continual discipleship and sanctification, and the transformed life is not required to prove one’s salvation.”

This, of course, means that one can technically continue to live a corrupt life—as I will show, a very corrupt life—without ever jeopardizing their salvation. Sure, transformation is preferable . . . but if it never happens? Ehh, so be it. There is a brutal reality attached to this:

If one truly believes they can be saved while persisting in a morally depraved life, then a morally depraved life one will live. It’s that simple.

This is the heart of the problem with Free Grace theology, and it’s the worst of all imaginable issues. However, let me very briefly show you how deep the rabbit hole descends.

On one of the countless videos about FG theology made by pastor Jesse Martinez on his YouTube channel, Bibleline, I asked if one can become an utterly rebellious apostate and still be saved, so long as they “believe” in Jesus. Here was his response:

“A believer can absolutely 100% fall from truth, grace, become apostate and live a sinful, wicked lifestyle. He is still saved because of his initial faith in Christ.”

Don’t believe me about this exchange? Here is a screenshot I took of his response:

On another occasion, I asked the popular FG YouTuber, Ono Diamante, if a saved believer can endlessly live a life of sin. Here was his response:

“Yes. Even someone like you who disobeys God in thought, word or deed everyday can be saved.”

Here is the screenshot for that one:

Forgetting the condescending tone—which assumes that I am transgressing the laws of God everyday—Ono responded in the affirmative; yes . . . one can perpetually sin every day, and in all ways, but continue to be saved. No change or transformation ever needs to take place.

However, this cloud gets darker than you can imagine. Shawn Lazar—one of the leading “lights” (if you can call him that) of the FG gospel—made an astonishing admission in a debate about the nature of salvation. When asked if a person who believed in Christ as a child can later become a “God-hater” and a “satanist” who makes “sacrifices to the devil”—while still retaining his or her salvation—Lazar said this:

“Yes: once saved always saved. It takes just a second of belief in Jesus to have everlasting life.”

Lazar went on to explain that one can lose many of their heavenly rewards and much of what they have on this earth. But salvation itself? Never. Just believe for one moment that Jesus is Lord, and you can proceed to live as a satanist every day after.

In truth, I could share quotes like these for days, but I hope the point has been made.

Before concluding this section, I simply must point out an astonishing aspect of FG theology. Recall the earlier discussion about Matthew 7:21-23 and consider this. In their warped view of theology, the only thing that can disqualify someone from salvation—provided they believed in Jesus, if only for a moment—is to also believe that we must display a transformed life. That’s right: one can make sacrifices to Satan and retain their salvation, but they may not believe they are required to be obedient or produce fruit and retain it.

Really let that one sink in.

You may be wondering how anyone can believe, much less teach, such things. I mean, how can they go so far in affirming wicked behavior while condemning good? The answer is simple: they have to. If even a single work—much less a collection of works—can alter one’s salvation at any point, then works indeed have a part to play. For this reason, it must be possible for a saved individual to perform the most heinous crimes imaginable, and for as long as desired, without the fear of losing their salvation.

Alternatively, it must also be true that one could go their entire lives without doing a single good deed for the Kingdom and still participate in the resurrection of life (Jn. 5:28-29).

After all—and as they so often ask— how could anyone have assurance of their salvation if obedience is required? The better question is, how anyone can have assurance without it?

____________

Conclusion

I will keep this short, because much has been said already.

As I have demonstrated, the Free Grace movement is an abomination. It perverts the true Gospel of Christ, replacing it with the gospel of Satan. The matter could not possibly be more dire, either, as salvation itself is at stake. This is exactly why I believe—with all my heart—that the Free Grace/Easy Believe gospel is the most heretical teaching going today.

Do we need, as Christ and the apostles to clearly taught, to demonstrate our faith in action? Or, as the Free Grace crowd posits, can we make sacrifices to Satan all the way to the “pearly gates?”

Each time the fanciful pleas of the Free Grace heretics woo and entangle another convert to an unscriptural and illogical doctrine, I cannot help but see a glimpse into the hidden darkness where the Evil One resides.

There, in that darkness, he revels in the thought of this new child of wrath: a new son or daughter who believes they can act like Satan while being secure in Christ.

He counts the fruits of his labor, and smiles.

In closing, I pray you: do not fall victim to the Free Grace heresy. Do not take the broad path that most are on today. Instead, follow the narrow path that leads to life. Abide in Christ, obey his words, and demonstrate your faith in obedience to him.

Your salvation depends on it.

The Eye Sees All

You’ll see it on magazine and album covers, on product pictures, on TV shows, in music concerts, and certainly within the logos of many major companies. The “eye” is all around us.

This is made manifest in those who intentionally wink, cover one eye, or otherwise darken or emphasize one eye for all the world to see.

But have you ever stopped to think about why this is done? Better yet, have you even noticed this phenomenon to begin with? I mean, what is the world’s obsession with emphasizing one eye?

In this article, I am going to explain to you exactly why we see this symbol all over the globe. Further, I will reveal the incredibly dark meaning behind it.

____________

The Eye in Culture

Before revealing the true nature of the eye, I want to provide some of the literally endless examples that could be shown to illustrate how prevalent it is within our culture.

While strolling through your local makeup or fragrance store, you are guaranteed to encounter it.

If you take a stroll around the local department store, you may find many eyes on you.

Note the 666 hand-sign while covering the eyes. This is a very prevalent way to emphasize the eye.

As you scroll through your social media news feeds, the eye’s gaze will again be fixed upon you.

Speaking of entertainers, you’d better believe that y0ur favorite stars of stage and screen are in on it. All of them.

Bob Dylan (note the hidden hand of Freemasonry, also)

Neil Young

Jennifer Aniston with the devil’s horns and winking to reveal the one eye.

Don’t tell me this stretches into “Christian” entertainment, too.

Yes, it does.

But what about the world of sports, is the all-seeing eye pervasive in that sphere as well? Certainly.

Kevin Durant

James Hardin

Fine, Fine! So, maybe the all-seeing eye is everywhere within our world. At least it hasn’t reached our children yet, right? Wrong. Observe some of the children’s artwork that I have photographed at fairs and exhibits over the years.

Do you see that the eye is ever prevalent within our society, from top to bottom? If this has (somehow) not sufficed, then I will later provide links to view far more examples. For now, let’s move on to discussing what this symbol is truly about.

______________

The All-Seeing Eye

Clearly, the one eye is ubiquitous within our world, but the question remains: what does it mean?

You should not be surprised to know that the symbol—most known as the all-seeing eye—goes as far back into history as we can see. It existed in every culture of the world, in one way or another, but it was perhaps most prominent in ancient Egypt. There, it was used to pay homage to their “god” Horus.

The Eye of Horus derives its meaning from the mythical conflict between the god Horus with his rival Set, in which Set tore out or destroyed one or both of Horus’ eyes. The eye was later healed or returned to Horus.

In Egyptian mythology, the Eye of Horus was believed to have magical powers. As such, it was a common object to find on Egyptian artwork, jewelry, and sometimes even coffins.

Here is what it looks like:

Or perhaps we should allow Katy Perry to properly demonstrate the Eye of Horus at work in our world today.

While this explains the roots of the all-seeing eye from the vantage point of ancient Egypt, the symbol has come to represent none other than Satan throughout the world. Or, as the Freemasons prefer to call him, Lucifer.

While I do not have space in this article for it, I have documented (in spades) elsewhere that Freemasonry is truly Satanism in disguise.

Understand this: whenever you see one eye being darkened or emphasized—in ways like I have shown above—then you are observing a small (but significant) nod to Satan.

These are, as I call them, Satan’s calling cards.

_______________

Conclusion

Over the last several years, I have shown just how prominent the one-eye symbolism of the all-seeing eye is within our world.

As you should be able to tell within the pictures above, those who demonstrate the one-eye symbolism are indeed paying homage to Satan: the one the Bible calls the “god of this age” (2 Cor. 4:4) and the “ruler of this world” (Jn. 14:30).

What I have shown you here is only a drop of water within a vast ocean of possible examples. You simply must understand that, in our time, Satan has amassed control over virtually every aspect of our world. If you need further evidence of this fact, then please click on the links below to see how pervasive this phenomenon really is.

The all-seeing eye of Lucifer is layered within our music, entertainment, sports, and even within our children’s artwork.

The goal of my ministry is to expose the depths of the darkness in order to reveal the greatness of the Light. My hope is that, in this article, I have provided you with sufficient evidence of how dark our world truly is. Perhaps you will find it valuable to further investigate the matter for yourself, which starts by viewing the articles I have linked above.

In understanding the darkness around you, I pray you are propelled to follow the Light. The Light, dear friends, is none other than Jesus Christ. More than ever, Jesus calls to each of us:

 “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (Jn. 8:12).

In closing, I implore you to notice these signs and symbols in your daily life. Now that you know what all this one-eye symbolism is about, I guarantee that you will observe it nearly everywhere you go.

That is, if you have eyes to see.

What Part do WE Play in Salvation?

–

It has become glaringly obvious that, in our time, there are many false teachings about salvation.

I am increasingly seeing pastors, professors and lay people espousing that salvation comes by belief in Jesus without respect to our own obedience. In fact, the idea that we must believe in Jesus and follow him has been called “Lordship salvation,” or other derogative terms.

Here is a prime example.

In light of this, I have put together a video describing what part we play in salvation. Along the way, I describe why this has been so misunderstood and why our own obedience is imperative.

For the full scoop, please see my video on YouTube: What Part do WE Play in Salvation.

The Truth Seeker Will be Saved

(Please check out my corresponding video and consider subscribing to my YouTube channel.)

I have long pondered and written about the topic of salvation, as it is something that has stoked my curiosity throughout my entire Christian walk.

And why not?

At the end of the day, there is nothing in heaven or earth more important than knowing God and understanding where (and how) we will spend eternity. So many questions come to mind.

Who will be saved in the end?

What part do we play in salvation?

What is the real connection between faith and works?

I know all too well that many have embraced the idea that we have little (or even nothing) to do with our own salvation. I have stated—and will always continue to state—that this is a heresy arising from the very depths of hell. In essence, such a view is the equivalent of saying that obedience has no bearing on salvation.

Put another way, what we do is entirely irrelevant.

I have covered this extensively in multiple publications, and this article discusses the pivotal connection between faith and works. Here, I want to go about addressing the issue of salvation in an entirely different way, by examining it through another lens.

In this article, I wish to frame this issue more positively and push each of us to really evaluate our role in salvation.

______________

Laying the Groundwork

Let’s start with something we should all be able to agree upon: we all have different starting and ending points in our faith journey.

That is, we all come from diverse backgrounds. We all have varying skills and abilities. Everyone on earth has a different mental capacity and unique critical thinking skills. For these reasons, everyone is going to have a different level of understanding that can be reached. Some will end up way down the path of knowledge, while others are capped at a place much farther back.

This issue goes even deeper, stretching into human intent.

I, for example, hold several views that are in opposition to what most self-professed Christians teach and believe. To name a few:

  • I believe that both God and the angels have bodies.
  • I believe that life ceases at death—that is, that “death” truly is the absence of life—and that the resurrection marks the time when all the dead will be brought back to life. (i.e. we don’t die and go to heaven. See my book on this)
  • I believe that the current nation of Israel is a counterfeit, and that the NT authors clearly redefined “Israel” as all who follow Christ and place themselves under new the covenant that he both instituted and presides over.

I could go on, but this is only meant to prove a point.

I arrived at these conclusions based on an in-depth study of Scripture, reading and/or listening to other thinkers, and weighing out the logical considerations.

Here’s the thing: others can follow the same steps and come to entirely different conclusions.

Well intentioned, thoughtful people can research the same biblical concepts—with an open mind—and simply differ with my beliefs. Now, people typically disagree on doctrine because one of the two (or both) didn’t pursue the topic in a comprehensive and honest way. However, disagreements still happen at times even when they do.

One more wrinkle that must be considered is that Scripture testifies that most people will not be saved. Jesus stated this plainly:

“For many are called, but few are chosen” (Mt. 22:14).

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Mt. 7:13-14).

Jesus even addressed this concerning the many who will believe they are following him, but were indeed never part of his Kingdom:

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness” (Mt. 7:21-23).

This, friends, explains how some can be involved within the church throughout their entire lives and never know the Lord. Whatever works, effort, and involvement they displayed is rendered useless in the end.

But how can that be?

______________

A Cloud of Confusion

Let’s be clear about what has been said to this point. Two things about salvation need to be understood within this article, so let me plainly summarize them here:

  1. All people will be judged differently, based on their personal abilities and their capacity to understand reality.  
  2. Most people will not be saved, even many who claim to be believers.

Keep these two points in mind as we continue.

Now, all this might lead us to think that salvation is a far more difficult matter to contend with than previously thought. Rather than clearing anything up, it may feel like I have simply created a larger and more ominous cloud of confusion!

If the story ended here, then that would no doubt be true. Thankfully, it does not.

Indeed, there is a way to cut through all this and point to what is truly imperative in the process—yes, the process—of salvation.

______________

The Truth Seeker Will be Saved

When you get to the heart of the matter—fully understanding that human beings do have a part to play in their own salvation—Scripture and logic meet to point the way forward.

At the end of the day, there is only one thing that can make sense of how people who vary so dramatically regarding background, ability, intelligence, life circumstances, era, and so much more, can all be equally (and fairly) judged. Likewise, only one thing accounts for why so many can profess Jesus as Lord but still be condemned at the end.

It all comes down to this:

The pursuit and acceptance of the truth.

Please note that, within this one explanation, there are two parts. The first part is about the pursuit of truth. That is, are we genuinely seeking to understand reality, particularly as it pertains to our faith? Do we vigorously study Scripture, investigating how it relates to the world around us? Are we frequently in prayer and spiritual contemplation? Are we searching for the truth?

Are we trying—to the best of our ability—to understand the truth in all aspects of life?

The second part of this is equally important but is dependent upon the first. Are we willing to accept the truth when it is revealed to us? Are we able to change our views if it’s discovered that we are in error, or are we too proud to do so? Do we care more about what we already believe than what is true? (Read that last question again)

Are we trying—to the best of our ability—to embrace and apply the truth in our lives?

Truth, friends. Pursue and accept the TRUTH!

This is why Jesus literally called himself “the truth” in John 14:6:

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (my emphasis).

Embracing Jesus is to accept the plainest representation of truth ever divulged to humanity. Alternatively, to deny him is to reject the plainest representation of truth ever divulged to humanity. Not surprisingly, Satan is alternatively called the “father of lies” (Jn. 8:44). That is, he is the opposite of the truth: the opposite of Christ!

Along these lines, do you recall what Jesus called the Holy Spirit?

“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come” (Jn. 16:13, my emphasis).

Yes, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth.

Elsewhere, Scripture repeatedly speaks about our acceptance of the truth as the pivotal issue at stake. In talking about the last days and the coming of the “lawless one,” Paul said this concerning those who will be condemned:

“The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 The. 2:9-12, my emphasis).

In 2 Timothy 4:3-4, we read this about the world as we move toward the last days:

“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.”

Do you understand this message? Believe me, this theme is carried out within the entire body of Scripture.

Our pursuit and acceptance of the truth is what cuts through all other considerations. It is what separates the wheat from the chaff.

_____________

Conclusion

Our pursuit and acceptance of the truth is no doubt why Scripture often reminds us that God judges the heart (1 Sam. 16:7, Jer. 17:10, Mt. 5:8). Put another way, God judges our intentions, motives, effort, and what we are about at the deepest, inward levels.

All this can make sense of several things that, on the surface, may seem illogical. For example:

  • How someone who struggles more with sin than another person can be saved just the same.
  • How two people can be saved, despite having completely different levels of understanding about the Bible, the world, and all else.
  • How a person can have greater works than another, though he is unsaved and the one with fewer works is saved.
  • How someone who spends their entire life in “service” to the church can still be condemned at the end.

Do you now understand how all this can be the case? Do you see why this issue—the issue of truth—pierces through the confusion?

Everyone has the ability to either pursue or flee from the truth.

Everyone has the ability to either accept or reject the truth.

These two fundamental realities cut across all other barriers: those of knowledge, intelligence, gender, age, race, nationality, era, and everything else.

This is precisely why all people will be without excuse (Rom. 1:20), and why no one will be able to plead ignorance at the Judgment. No one will get a pass for refusing to search out the truth or for failing to follow it.

No one will be saved or condemned based on factors beyond their control, but only on their pursuit and acceptance of the truth.

Again, this does not mean that those who are saved understand everything there is to understand, nor does it reduce salvation to a matter of knowledge. In fact, this is exactly the opposite of the case I have been making! Salvation is case dependent and assessed on an individual basis, just as Scripture reveals (Rev. 22:12, Mt. 16:27, Rom. 2:6-8).

Each person will be judged according to their desire to know the truth and their obedience in following it.

In an attempt to drive this home one last time, consider the types of things that passionately pursuing and embracing the truth would lead to:

  • The understanding that Jesus is the Messiah, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus is the Son of God and our only atonement for sins.
  • A greater knowledge about the evil workings of our world and the depths of its depravity.
  • The desire and ability to search oneself, making every effort to be obedient to Christ.
  • A genuine sense of open-mindedness and a willingness to reform our own views, even changing them when necessary. No doctrine or belief will be held as more sacred than our commitment to the truth.

So much more could be said, but the underlying message in all this should be clear . . .

The truth seeker will be saved.

If this does not challenge you to evaluate your own salvation—hungering to both pursue and embrace the truth in all aspects of your life—then I fear that nothing will. I pray that you will not miss this clear message and the opportunity in front of you.

In closing, remember the very words of our Lord:

“If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”[1]

Nimrod: Man of Mystery (Revealed)

–

This article is part of a larger project that I am working on. As such, this is a more in-depth read than my usual blogs. This will provide you with a deeper level of information than most anything else that you might read about Nimrod.

In the first section, I discuss the character of Nimrod, his origins, and his dark connection with evil throughout the ages. In part two, I will reveal his role within the very fraternity that presently runs our world.

Believe me, there is far more involved with Nimrod than most of us ever imagined.

______________

Nimrod’s History and Dark Connections

Both the Bible and other historical sources attribute the construction of Babel—the precursor to Babylon—and its tower to a certain earthly leader of the day. His name lives in infamy and, like the thought of Babylon, survives to this day.

This man’s name was Nimrod.

In Scripture, Nimrod was the great grandson of Noah and is described as “the first on earth to be a mighty man” (Gen. 10:8).[1] He is also described as being a “mighty hunter before the Lord” (10:9) which, in the original language, may imply defiance against God.[2] We also read that Nimrod was credited as the chief builder of far more than just Babel:

“The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city” (Gen. 10:10-12).

In essence, Nimrod has been viewed as a larger-than-life figure in the biblical narrative. This may literally be true, as his stature has suggested a lineage back to the Nephilim (the giants of old).

The name “Nimrod,” while being somewhat dubious, is associated with the word “rebel.” Fundamentally, Nimrod was a rebel against God. However, things get far more interesting from there. This name is also possibly associated with Marduk, who was an ancient Mesopotamian god and the patron deity of the city of Babylon. As we will see in the writings of Josephus, this is consistent with everything else that is known about Nimrod. More interesting, it is likely that the Semitic root of this name is connected to Namra-uddu,[3] which was thought to be a star god.

Did someone say, “a star god”?

Where have we heard this before? That’s right: Lucifer is referred to as the “son of the morning” (or literally, “shining one”) in Isaiah 14:12. The “shining one,” as in a star that is also historically connected to the planet Venus. As Benson’s Commentary puts it: “Lucifer is properly a bright star, that ushers in the morning.”[4]

Yet another layer to this is that the so-called “Star of David” is—unbeknownst to most of the sleeping world—a pagan (read, Satanic) symbol that is historically and biblically associated with a god called “Remphan” (or, Rephan). Biblically, this name was first mentioned in Amos 5:26, where most translations render it as “the star of your god.” The Septuagint,[5] however, translated this verse as, “the star of your God Rephan.”

(I have discussed the current state of Israel and its Satanic national symbol in separate articles. Simply click on the hyperlinks to see).

It is no surprise, then, that the Book of Acts later makes the identity of this pagan deity clear to its readers: “You took up the tent of Moloch and the star of your god Rephan, the images that you made to worship; and I will send you into exile beyond Babylon” (7:43, my emphasis).

Not only is Nimrod’s existence and treachery evident within Scripture, but it is also verified in the writings of the Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus. Here is a carefully selected passage containing key insights about Nimrod, his role in Babel, and his overall place in Jewish history. While lengthy, rest assured that it is tremendously important:

“Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grand-son of Ham, the son of Noah: a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it was through his means that they were happy; but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny; seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his own power. He also said, ‘He would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world again: for that he would build a Tower too high for the waters to be able to reach; and that he would avenge himself on God for destroying their fore-fathers . . .”

“. . . Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem it a piece of cowardice to submit to God: and they built a Tower . . . it grew very high, sooner than any one could expect. But the thickness of it was so great, and it was so strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed, upon the view, to be less than it really was. It was built of burnt brick, cemented together with morter, made of bitumen; that it might not be liable to admit water. When God saw that they acted so madly, he did not resolve to destroy them utterly; since they were not grown wiser by the destruction of the former sinners: but he caused a tumult among them, by producing in them diverse languages; and causing, that through the multitude of those languages, they should not be able to understand one another. The place wherein they built the Tower is now called Babylon: because of the confusion of that language which they readily understood before: for the Hebrews mean by the word Babel, Confusion. The Sibyll also makes mention of this tower, and of the confusion of the language when she says thus: ‘When all men were of one language, some of them built an high tower, as if they would thereby ascend up to heaven. But the Gods sent storms of wind, and overthrew the tower, and gave every one his peculiar language. And for this reason it was that the city was called Babylon.”[6]

If you thought that Nimrod was only found within the Bible, you now know differently. The most famous historian of the first century—who is renowned within all of history—described exactly who Nimrod was, and it’s completely consistent with what is revealed in Scripture.

______________

Nimrod: The First Antichrist

Josephus’ words powerfully add to the information we have already evaluated. When combined, all this leads to a very sinister and disturbing conclusion. Nimrod is both historically and etymologically connected to some of the darkest spiritual figures in all ancient history. In fact, Nimrod can be directly connected to Lucifer himself.

Remphan . . . the “star god” . . . the “shining one” . . . all are related to Nimrod.

It was Nimrod who defied God and served as the chief architect of the infamous Tower of Babel. He was instrumental in the building of “. . . Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah” (Gen. 10:10-12). His work in Babel and its “tower” laid the groundwork for what would become Babylon, and Babylon would go on to symbolize Satan’s dark kingdom made manifest on earth.[7]

In this sense, Nimrod served as the first and highest human representative of Lucifer’s global empire. Are you grasping the magnitude of this observation? If not, let me clearly and emphatically state the essence of the situation.

Nimrod was the first Antichrist figure in history.

Nimrod was an Antichrist before there was the Christ. However, there is even more to this. Nimrod is to this nefarious character what Babylon is to evil empires. Put succinctly, Nimrod is the symbolic embodiment of the Antichrist for all the ages.

______________

Nimrod : Alive and Well

The significance of this horrific figure goes far deeper than what has already been revealed.

Nimrod is not simply a biblical character, or one bound up within Jewish lore. He is no mere “builder” of cities or just another “rebel” against God. Nimrod is even more than the Antichrist of the ancient world and its symbolic figurehead. Shockingly—but also fittingly—Nimrod is the very figure that the Freemasons admire and celebrate as their first Grand Master. That’s right: their first Grand Master. In this sense, he is both the first great Mason and the fraternity’s most important figure.

(As I have described within so many blogs and videos, Freemasonry is the evil fraternity that runs this world.)

Worse, the entire system is hidden beneath Christian trappings. Like Lucifer—the god of Freemasonry—the fraternity masquerades in the garments of righteousness. As such, their darkest truths are hidden while their lies are projected.

Part of the “Christian trappings” of Freemasonry can be seen in their assertion that King Solomon, rather than Nimrod, was the first Grand Master.[8] Freemasonry has adopted much from Jewish tradition and consistently uses its characters, structures, and events to camouflage its evil interior. Even sources that attempt to refute Nimrod’s connection to Freemasonry sometimes admit that their “old legendists”—collectively called the “Legend of the Craft”—affirmed his place in their history:

The Legend “. . . had attributed the first organization of a fraternity of craftsmen to him, in saying that he gave a charge to the workmen whom he sent to assist the King of Nineveh in building his cities. That is to say, he framed for them a Constitution, and, in the words of the Legend, ‘this was the first tyme that ever Masons had any charge of his science.’ It was the first time that the Craft were organized into a fraternity working under a Constitution or body of laws; and as Nimrod was the autocratic maker of these laws, it results as a necessary consequence, that their first legislator, legislating with dictatorial and unrestricted sovereign power, was also their first Grand Master.”[9]

As stated, Freemasonry proper has always held that Nimrod was the fraternity’s first Grand Master.

There is, of course, further evidence of Nimrod’s status within the history and practice of the Masons. In the initiation of the candidate into Freemasonry—called the Apprentice Degree (1st)—candidates take what is called the “Oath of Nimrod.”[10] In this, the candidate pledges an oath that they will not reveal any possible aspect of the innerworkings of the Masonic fraternity to those on the outside. The consequences of doing so are clearly described, as to deter those who might think to break their oath:

“That I shall be branded with the mark of the Traitor and slain according to ancient custom by being throttled, that my body shall be buried in the rough sands of the sea a cable’s length from the shore where the tide regularly ebbs and flows twice in the twenty-four hours, so that my soul shall have no rest by night or by day.”

In Arcane Schools—“arcane” meaning “mysterious” or “secret”—John Yarker further describes the place that Nimrod holds in Masonic history. First, he reveals that:

“Every reading Mason is aware that from the time of the original of the “Cooke” MS. Constitutions, say A.D. 1400, it has been handed down that the hunter King, Nimrod, was a Grand Master. . .”[11]

Connected to this, Yarker later continues by saying: “For some hundreds of years our (the Freemason’s) Constitutions have asserted that Nimrod was a Grand Master and gave the Masons a Charge which we still follow.”[12] That “charge” they still follow is none other than the Oath of Nimrod.

If we knew nothing else about the Freemasons, this should be enough to see the darkness hiding behind the “world’s oldest, largest, and most charitable fraternity.”[13] They admire—even esteeming him as the first to hold the sacred status of Grand Master—the man whose name lives in infamy: Nimrod.

Yes, the very man who is credited for the construction of the singular evil empire whose treachery stretches into the last days; the figure who led the campaign to erect a tower into the heavens and defy God; the one whose name shares roots with pagan deities and Lucifer himself; the one who is, in effect, the world’s original Antichrist; this is the very same Nimrod who sits atop the grand hierarchy of the fraternity that now runs our world.

____________

Conclusion

It is apparent that there is far more to Nimrod than meets the eye, and much more could be said. Hopefully, the mystery behind the man has now been revealed to you.

Nimrod was the master architect of the first civilizations after the Flood. He was the “chief builder” and the man behind humanity’s greatest primitive effort to usurp its Creator. He is the man whose very name is connected to Lucifer himself.

As such, he not only stands as history’s first Antichrist figure but also as the prototype for those who came after . . . and the one who is yet to come. This is precisely why the Freemasons have historically viewed him as their most central and significant human leader, despite their modern efforts to distance themselves from him.[14]

Now, this very fraternity builds their next city of Babel—their great “Babylon”—complete with a Tower built into the heavens, a plan to rule humanity, and the audacity to defy the Most High once and for all.

But that, dear friends, will have to wait until a later time.

The Narrow Path

–

Recently, I have been blessed to have numerous conversations with trusted friends and family members about biblical matters. With all that was discussed, one thought kept coming to the forefront and has weighed heavily on my mind. Here it is . . .

Most people will not be saved.

We have a very real problem on our hands within the church today. The preaching, teaching, and belief of many is that salvation is an easy or simple proposition. Yet, when we read Scripture, we clearly see that it isn’t.

One of the biggest culprits of our time is the “easy believe” doctrine of salvation. Using a verse or two—a “proof text,” if you will—to prove the point is often how false teachings arise. In this case, people may quote a text like Romans 10:9 and simply leave it at that:

“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

While Paul’s statement is obviously true, it is not the only thing we must consider. Again, the problem is that, all too often, this text (or another) is used, and we go no further. This is why so much time is spent talking about people who just “got saved,” as though everlasting life is something we can forever secure in an instant.

That is, salvation is reduced to simply accepting the (true) proposition that Jesus is Savior. Just say a prayer or come to the altar and, voilà, the work is done . . . now and forever.

Don’t misunderstand me; coming to repentance and giving your life to God is the first critical step in salvation. But it’s just that: a step. The problem is that, for many professed Christians, there is a failure to recognize that there is a life to be lived thereafter.

A life to be lived, indeed.

As I will describe in this article, salvation is a continuous process . . . and it is anything but easy. In fact—and as the Bible describes things—most people who claim to be saved will not be.

The path of salvation is not wide but is very narrow.

_____________

OT Examples of the Narrow Path

There are so many examples that could be mentioned, so let’s focus on just a few.

The events surrounding the Great Flood prove that most people will not be saved. Of all the people living on earth in the days of Noah, we understand that only eight (eight!) of them were found to be worth saving (Gen. 6:9-10, Heb. 11:7).

What does that say about percentages? Very, very few were found to be righteous.

The same thing appears when Abraham pleaded with God to spare the corrupt city of Sodom (Gen. 18). After numerous back and forth efforts, it was revealed that not even ten righteous men could be found! Only Abraham’s nephew, Lot, and his family would be spared (19:15). Infamously, we know that even Lot’s wife “looked back” and was caught up in the destruction (19:26).

Again, very few were righteous.

This same story repeats itself time and time again with the nation of Israel. Whether we are dealing with Korah’s rebellion, God’s initial determination to destroy the entire group (except Moses and Aaron), the generation that was lost in the wilderness wanderings, the exiles into Assyrian/Babylonian captivity, and everything in between, it is evident that few were ever righteous. In fact, the entire period of Judges—like almost every other part of Israel’s history—can be summarized with these grim words:

“Everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (21:25b).

This is also why the OT continuously speaks about God preserving a “remnant” for His people.

We even read throughout the prophets how the sacrificial assemblies, the priesthood, and the gatherings themselves were often fantastically corrupt. Many Jews were going through the motions of their “faith” but were far from God.

This was made evident by the prophet Amos when he said:

“I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies” (5:21).

Isaiah went so far as to make this claim, which Jesus later echoed about the Jews of his day:

“These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught” (Is. 29:13, Mt. 15:8).

It’s crystal clear: most people throughout the OT—whether Jewish or not—were not saved. As I will now show, the NT reveals the same thing about our present world.

_____________

NT Examples of the Narrow Path

The NT is replete with examples of where salvation cannot be reduced to a mental affirmation or a singular proposition. In fact, the words of Jesus and the apostles unanimously affirm that relatively few will be saved.

Stated in reverse, most will be condemned.

For brevity’s sake, I will simply summarize several places where this is evident. I leave it to your discretion if you wish to read the entirety of the passages.

For starters, Jesus’ Parable of the Sower speaks to this point (Mt. 13:1-9). The “seeds” all fall in one of four places: 1) The Path 2) The Rocky Soil 3) Among the Thorns and 4) The Good Soil.

Of the four possible outcomes, how many of them end up prospering; that is, how many grow to produce a crop (this connotes being saved)? Most readers likely know the answer to this question: one. One in four people go on to be saved and produce a good crop, and that’s including many who began to grow (accepting the word) but then petered out.

While we should not literally view this to mean that exactly 25% of people will be saved, it does affirm that the number is small: much smaller than those who will be condemned.

Elsewhere, Jesus makes this even more clear. In speaking the Parable of the Wedding Feast (Mt. 22:1-14), he describes that many “invitations” will be sent out in preparation for this great event. This is an allusion to Christ’s return and the consummation of his Kingdom on earth (Rev. 19:6-9). Of the vast number of people invited, few came ready for the event.

As Jesus summarized it: “For many are called, but few are chosen” (Mt. 22:14).

If this isn’t clear enough, consider Jesus’ words from earlier in the Gospel of Matthew:

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (7:13-14).

Do you now see? Even still, I must mention that this matter goes much deeper.

The NT is equally clear that many who fill our churches are not—and will not be—saved. While we cannot personally judge one’s salvation—though we can judge their fruits (Mt. 7:20)—a hard truth confronts us. Any given day, the number of those who claim to follow Christ is not directly proportional to the number of people who will be saved. Put more plainly, many people falsely believe in their eternal security.

Jesus spoke directly to this, as recorded in Matthew 7:21-23:

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.”

In this, we see that salvation stretches beyond one’s outward appearance and ministerial accolades. Matthew Henry’s Commentary summarizes this matter rather effectively:

“Christ here shows that it will not be enough to own him for our Master, only in word and tongue. It is necessary to our happiness that we believe in Christ, that we repent of sin, that we live a holy life, that we love one another. This is his will, even our sanctification.”

This may be one of the most profound mysteries of the faith: that one can—by all outward appearances—be a sincere child of God, while inwardly being a child of Satan.

Perhaps this should not be a surprise though, as even Satan “masquerades as an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:4). As Paul further revealed, Satan’s followers also masquerade as “servants of righteousness” (11:5). Can you say, religious narcissists?

Words cannot accurately convey the treachery and stealthiness of the Evil One.

_____________

Conclusion

There is much more that could be said about this, but I trust that the point has been made.

The Bible is clear, from front to back, that most people walking the earth are not (and will not be) saved. This means that most the world stands condemned. This is exactly why the apostle John revealed the following:

“We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one” (1 Jn. 5:19).

While the children of God remain hidden in Him, most of the world remains under Satanic captivity. This is simply reality, and it comes straight from Jesus and the biblical writers themselves. In all this, we see that the “easy believe” mentality is a heresy that has, is, and will continue to lead many down to the pit.

As Jesus said, each of us must carry our cross and follow after him (Mt. 16:24-26). As Paul said, each of us must “work out (our) own salvation with fear and trembling” (Php. 2:12b). As James said, we must prove our faith by our deeds (2:18).

We must have refined hearts, pure intentions, forgiven transgressions, and a passion to pursue the truth in all we do. If you are not serious about your faith and making Christ your ultimate priority, then now is the time to do so.

Broad is the path that leads to destruction and narrow is the path to life. Few will find it.

The Signs of Darkness

Satan’s debauchery was on full display during Super Bowl LVIII (58) and, once again, I am here to show you the world we are really living in.

Whether we are talking about the sign of the devil horns, the 666 hand-sign, or just the All-Seeing Eye itself, Lucifer truly was the star of the show. Here, I am going to point out multiple ways this was evident. Afterwards, I am going to show how the Satanic connection runs far deeper than the NFL.

Let’s start with the basic advertising for the Super Bowl. Right there, front and center, we have the All-Seeing Eye.

Does this symbol look familiar? It should. Not only is it also used as the CBS logo, but it is the official logo of Freemasonry and Luciferianism. You may recognize it from the US one dollar bill, and from the world’s largest Freemason ceremony.

If you have not seen the ceremony, then please watch it here. It removes all doubt that the Masons worship the All-Seeing Eye (of Lucifer).

Yes, the Eye is ubiquitous across our corrupt world. As I will later reveal, this is the same symbol that is constantly imitated by our celebrities and even our youth.

For now, let’s move on to the stars who were highlighted during the Super Bowl. We can start with Post Malone, who performed “America the Beautiful.” His appearance alone should tip you off to who he is.

In case that didn’t work, see the next two images. Both show him sporting the “devil horns,” and we even get to see the demoniac tongue in the latter.

Meanwhile, Ice Spice was up in a private press box sporting the same devil horns and a marvelous upside-down cross. Indeed, her mimicry of Christ was being blasted to the masses.

Not to worry, at least the midway entertainer was of a higher virtue. Well, maybe not. Observe Usher: Mr. Halftime himself.

All-Seeing Eye

666 hand-sign

What about Taylor Swift? Surely, the (once) self-proclaimed “Christian” superstar isn’t one of them, too? Ahh, but of course she is; they all are.

666 hand-sign

Ditto

And the All-Seeing Eye

If you really need a deeper look at Swift’s debauchery, then simply check out this video. There can be no doubt about the god she serves.

You don’t have to tune in to the biggest sporting event on earth to see this debauchery, either. In our day and age, these symbols can be seen literally everywhere we might venture.

How about a stroll through a department store? Notice that every picture below is either covering the eye or emphasizing it (with a wink).

The poor child has no idea what this means but was clearly told to do it.

Note the 666 hand-sign for good measure.

Now, let’s take a very brief stop at the magazine section . . .

This is a compilation of the many covers one might spot.

Imagine that you paused to scroll through your phone during your day out. Of all the things you might see, perhaps a couple images of old Bruce Willis movies popped up on your social media feed. Guess what they casually revealed? That’s right: the All-Seeing Eye was in charge of the film industry back in the 80’s, too.

In truth, Lucifer was in charge of the industry long before that. Just ask “Norma Jean.”

If you think these are rare examples, then think again. All eras of stage and screen were brought to you by Satan, as I detail here.

The most despicable (and telling) part of all this is that the corruption has trickled down through our societies and has now reached our children. I took these pictures myself at local festivals.

As always, this is just a small sampling of the available images. I have documented many more here and here.

Conclusion

Super Bowl LVIII was nothing special in regard to the Satanic symbols that now haunt our world. However, it certainly provided us with a valuable refresher on the topic.

Our world is completely inundated with the signs of darkness. What I have shown here is an infinitesimally small number of examples within a vast ocean of depravity. I want to remind you that much more can be seen, and I have documented this at great length elsewhere.

If you wish to see more evidence from the world of sports, entertainment, children’s art, or my extensive video that puts all the pieces together, then simply click on the hyperlinks and start your exploration.

If you are able to observe these images but fail to grasp their significance, or if you simply deny the Satanic influence behind them, then I fear there is nothing that could ever wake you up.

The world is not what you think it is, and it’s not run by who you think runs it.

As Scripture has revealed for thousands of years, Lucifer–the “god of this world” (2 Cor. 4:4)–runs the show. Never has this been more obvious than it is today. Everywhere we look, his dominion can be seen. Whereas it was once hidden, it is now only hidden in plain sight.

I can only encourage you to explore the other materials I have shown here, and to pay attention to these symbols as you navigate your daily life.

Let this be either your wakeup call or the latest reminder about the dark state of this world and the powers that run it. I pray that you have the eyes to see what is happening, and that you feel the urgency to get your spiritual affairs in order.

Remember, only the Light of Christ can enable you to escape the darkness.

The Days of Noah (2.0)

For most people walking the earth, the world appears to exist much like it always has. Yet, those with “eyes to see” and “ears to hear” recognize that this is simply an illusion born from a spiritual delusion.

When describing the last days, Jesus made a curious reference to a catastrophic event of the distant past: the Great Flood. Christ stated that the end of the age will strongly resemble the days of Noah. Because the world was so rampant with sin—including the existence of the Nephilim—God spared only the righteous Noah and his family (2 Pet. 2:5).

Here is what Jesus revealed about the connection between that time and the world that will exist in the last days:

“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man” (Mt. 24:36-39).

While the world was so thoroughly corrupt, much of life continued on as it always had. People socialized, married, had families, ate and drank, and simply pursued their own lives as normal.

Meanwhile—and completely unbeknownst to most of the world—society was thoroughly corrupt and was heading toward a divine wipeout.

This, my friends, is exactly where we find ourselves today. We live in the Days of Noah (2.0).

I am going to briefly mention several of the key reasons we can be sure of this—the signs of the times, so to speak—and then drop links to articles I have written on each item. That way, those who want to explore these issues on a deeper level can do so, and those who would rather push through the article can take that route.

The documentation is all here for anyone who wants to pursue it, and it is my hope that you will.

With that said, let’s get to the evidence.

_______________

Evidence that the “Flood” is Coming

Let’s begin with something I have railed about since its nefarious inception in 2020: the Covid agenda.

Without question, this was indeed a major sign of our times. In fact, I wrote very early on that this agenda was eerily reminiscent of the “Great Lie” and the associated Delusion that is spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-11. I stand by this view.

The evidence that this was an organized and planned pandemic is abundant. For those who want a deep look at this, see my blog “The Satanic Age Has Arrived.” Here, let me highlight just a few of the incredible realities behind this great global scheme:

  • It was forecasted in a globalist game planning exercise called “Event 201.” This involved the outbreak of a coronavirus and the subsequent reaction that would take place to near perfection, and it occurred only several months before the real outbreak.
  • China—where the virus was created, with the help of our own National Institutes of Health (NIH)—doubled their yearly expenditures on coronavirus testing supplies and equipment between 2018-2019, clearly in anticipation of what was coming. This is a “smoking gun.”
  • Moderna boasted of having its vaccine prepared within two days of the virus’ genome being published. This means, without question, that it had been in the works long beforehand.

These examples are merely the tip of the iceberg. I prove all this—and so much more—in both my book and video, which are both titled “System of the Beast.”

The point is, we live in a time where biological weapons are created and dispersed on a global scale. The control measures that came from this were the main intent and are truly frightening in nature. Again, all this is discussed in the resources mentioned above.

The Disintegration of normative (and healthy) male/female roles and relationships is another key example of where we are, and it has had disastrous consequences.

First time marriages end in divorce nearly half of the time, which is bested by second time marriages which lead to divorce about 67% of the time. Not surprisingly, it continues downhill from there. Third marriages end in divorce about 73% of the time. Incredible.

In all, around 70-80% of divorces are being initiated by women. There are far too many reasons for this to properly detail in this article. In short, we can thank modern feminism for preaching to women that they need to be a “boss” who controls the relationship, always dates above her own value, never settles for anything less than perfection, “lives it up” during her 20’s and early 30s, and just plain “doesn’t need a man” or the responsibilities that come with having a family.

Dating sites have hugely contributed to this mentality, as the “paradox of choice”—the reality that having more options actually makes decisions more difficult—has led many women to believe that the choices are infinite. Since nearly 75% of the people on dating sites like Tinder are men, women often do have seemingly limitless options. This has led to the grandiose notion that women should never settle and that the “perfect” man may be just a swipe away.

Meanwhile, men have increasingly dropped out of the workforce, stopped seeking lifelong partnerships or even dating opportunities, accepted their new role of subservience in relationships, and watched as the top 10% of men—in status, looks, finances, etc.—attract 90% of the women. In other words, most men are left behind and act accordingly. They have either given up or have completely sworn off having meaningful relationships. Many are completely lost and have no purpose.

And did I mention that sex means nothing within our culture, and that “body counts” are simultaneously a source of “accomplishment” and shame?

What a fine mess. I am not picking on either gender, either. Rather, I am simply providing the facts for your consideration.

In all, women strive to be men and men no longer understand the difference. A power struggle ensues in all but a select number of relationships, with even a lot of “lasting relationships” manifesting as nothing more than a business association: largely transactional and done just to keep the family together, or so the finances can stay intact. Things are cast in terms of “settling” rather than celebrating the finding of a wonderful companion.  

No one and nothing is ever “good enough.” The human appetite is insatiable; no hunger can be satisfied, and no thirst quenched. The all-consuming self is the priority, and “I” am the only one who matters. This takes us rather naturally to the next point.  

Narcissism is proving to be the central spiritual problem of our time, and certainly of the last days.

Nearly every trait and statistic previously mentioned is evidence of this reality. As predicted nearly 2,000 years ago, people have become “cold,” “lovers of selves,” having no “natural affection,” and caring solely for themselves (Mt. 24:12, 2 Tim. 3:1-5). Like their master, Satan, narcissists are tearing through our world, constantly devouring all that is good and subverting God’s intentions for humanity.

(I talk about narcissism extensively here, here, and here. Also, I now have a YouTube channel dedicated specifically to the matter and I am uploading several times a week)

Then there is the unavoidable reality that Satan completely controls the power structures of our world.

In large part, this was achieved through the gradual infiltration of international Freemasonry. The Freemasons are in control of the world. They run the media, most institutions of higher learning, our banking systems, our governments, our sports and entertainment, and even our children’s minds.  

At this point, I am not sure how else this can be shown. I have displayed how the “All-Seeing Eye”—the eye of Lucifer—is openly exhibited and worshipped everywhere we look. This has been the primary focus of my efforts over the last several years.

I can only suggest that you take the time to see this in every specific way: entertainment, sports, children’s art, and please, grasp the overall picture by watching my video, System of the Beast.

(I make nothing from these resources; they are only here to show you the truth.)

Freemasonry—which is Satanism in disguise—runs our world. All of it. I strongly urge you to click on the links I have provided if you are yet to grasp the significance of what I am saying. Also, know that I will never stop shining Christ’s Light onto this great darkness, whatever the cost.

While I am at this, I may as well mention another brutal reality. This is an issue that has not won me many allies, and it never will. So be it; truth is truth.

The current nation of Israel stands as astonishing evidence that Satan has indeed come to fully dominate our world. While most who call themselves conservatives, patriots, evangelicals, or simply Christians, believe that defending Israel is a critical part of upholding their moral obligations, the truth is that they have all been led astray.

You see, even the nation of Israel has been overtaken by Satan’s schemes.

Long ago, John described in Revelation 12 that Jerusalem—yes, the Holy City of the Old Testament—was indeed the Great Harlot who rides upon the Beast. The current nation of Israel was indeed founded by Freemasons and is largely a corrupt group of people who despise Jesus Christ. It is not God’s “chosen nation.” In fact, the New Testament authors detailed that a “true Jew” is now one who has accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Finally—and please understand this point—the very symbol that has come to stand for the nation of Israel is indeed Satanic. Yes, believe it or not, the so-called “Star of David” has nothing to do with David or the Old Testament believers and everything to do with paganism, Jewish mysticism, and even witchcraft. Don’t believe me? Read my blog on the matter and see for yourself.

Lost in the Satanic Matrix

Despite what is abundantly obvious—that evil that is hiding in plain sight—most of the world goes on living with their eyes and ears closed. The expression, “La La Land,” comes to mind.

In reality, we are simply living in a Satanically created matrix. Most know nothing about the spiritual battle taking place around them and in their very midst. They are completely oblivious, their eyes fixed upon the rolling chariots while the walls of the Colosseum erode around them.

This, dear friends, is why Jesus’ description of the last days makes perfect sense. As in the days of Noah, the people of the world will carry on as they always have, even though our societies have become a Satanic playground.

On the one hand, the last days are epitomized by a world that is in complete freefall. Truth is lost. Morality is mutilated. Up is down, right is wrong, and black and white are blended—in true Masonic fashion—as to blur the very distinction between the two.

On the other hand, people are walking the earth as though it’s simply “business as usual.” People are marrying, giving in marriage, eating, drinking, and operating as though our world is on an upward trajectory. Nothing to see here; move it along.

Oh, the confusion of blinded souls.

_____________

Conclusion

The end will surely come like a flood, just as Jesus told us it would.

It will not end in water, however, but in fiery destruction: a blazing inferno that engulfs all the world, with a heat so hot that even the elements cannot withstand it (2 Pet. 3:10). The end will be swift, and most—yes, most—people on earth will not see it coming. They won’t even suspect that something is looming, or that anything on earth is awry.

So deep is the delusion and their imprisonment within the Satanic matrix that they will even scoff at those who try to alert them to the impending doom (2 Pet. 3:3). Again, just like the days of Noah.  

Understand that, while those around us go about their merry way—believing that they will always have tomorrow, and that today is marked by “progress”—our existence is plagued with chaos. This is the chaos that can only be seen by those with spiritual eyes. Whereas the rest of the world sees advancement, goodness, and a world in order, those with the Spirit see reality: regression, evil, and a world that is ripe for judgment.

We see a world much like the days of Noah, but with new and greater evils. We are living in the Days of Noah (2.0). With all my heart, I implore you to heed this warning.

Climb aboard Christ’s Ark, before the raging waters sweep your world away.

Narcissism in the Last Days

(I have recently started a YouTube channel dedicated specifically to the topic of narcissism. Please consider subscribing if this interests you)

Ever since I came to understand the dark shadow that hangs over our planet (i.e. narcissism), I have written extensively on it. The reason why is simple: narcissism is the greatest behavioral epidemic of our time (and of all world history, for that matter).

Elsewhere, I have discussed other reasons why we should be on high alert and ever mindful that all signs are pointing toward the reality that we are living in the last days. These resources have covered the following things:

  • The 2020 virus agenda and its innumerable implications.
  • The fact that international Freemasonry is the evil force that runs our world.
  • The clear signs that we are now living in the Satanic Age, where Lucifer’s “calling cards” can be seen in every facet of daily life.

I even created an almost 4-hour video showing how the events and organizations of our time are all working together to bring this age to a close.

Friends, please—I pray you—understand where things stand in our world today.

In this article, I wish to elaborate on why the epic explosion in narcissistic individuals is an essential (and predicted) sign that we are living in the last days.

___________

Surrounded by Narcissists

In other articles and videos, I explained the origin of the term “narcissist” and that it can be traced back to the Greek legend of Narcissus. In those same works, I explained the general nature of narcissism and its incredible evils. For this reason, I will not go into all these details. However, I sincerely hope that you become acquainted with this material if you have not already done so.

Indeed, narcissism has always existed on this planet. Satan, the chief Narcissist, has been the “god of this age” (2 Cor. 4:4) and the “ruler of this world” (Jn. 14:30) since it was handed to him by our ancestral and spiritual progenitors (Adam and Eve) in the Garden of Eden.

Narcissism has always been here but never has it been so prominent.

Many who study narcissism claim that between 0.5-5% of the population are narcissists, but this number often only refers to those who have been diagnosed with NPD (narcissistic personality disorder). However, anyone who understands that narcissism is best understood as a personality type and not a diagnosis can see that narcissism is exploding around us.

Dr. Romani Durvasula—a renowned expert on narcissism, who doesn’t truly view it from a spiritual perspective—has proposed that at least 15-25% of people in the US (and many other places) have enough narcissistic traits to be considered a narcissist. Let me repeat: between one in four and one in five people around you, on average, are high in narcissistic traits.

Stated more plainly, we can consider them to be narcissists.

Though I have no training in psychology whatsoever, this is consistent with my spiritual understanding of the world around me. I, too, have ventured to say that the numbers could be that high (or even higher).

If you doubt the veracity of these numbers, then you really need to do the research and evaluate those in your past, present, and certainly future.

______________

Why so many?

Why is there now such in incredible number of narcissistic people in our world? How can this explosion be explained?

As you might expect, there is no single reason for this. Rather, there are many factors involved. Here, I wish to explain what I believe are the most powerful ones.

The first reason encompasses many things, and it’s easily one of the most important factors involved. I am of course speaking about the rise of the internet. No surprise here, right? In all of human history, never has meeting people and “hooking up” been so easy; not by a landslide. In particular, the eruption of social media sites and dating apps have changed literally everything about the way people communicate, especially in the romantic setting.

Over the last two decades, literally billions of people have created social media and dating app accounts. Facebook, alone, has over 3 billion users—though a fair number are likely bots! Tinder, the world’s most popular dating app, has over 74 million monthly users.

While dating sites are heavily skewed toward women—and I can’t stress enough that men (especially) should not be using them—they provide the potential to talk and meet with others without having to leave your own home. This has had devastating results, and there are countless videos on YouTube proving it.

People do not form solid relationships or connect with most of the people they chat with. In fact, the constant “swiping” through countless profiles has raised expectations to ridiculous levels and fostered the desire to simply date based on appearance alone. People just become a series of pictures, and those who don’t rate high in appearance are essentially D.O.A. on a dating site. Again, this is especially true for men (here’s proof).

This has helped to lead to the notion that everyone is disposable. If so, then it follows that every relationship is also disposable. No one is ever “good enough.” Someone could always be a little better looking, or financially successful, or taller, or kinder, or more charming, or more confident, or . . . or . . . OR! Besides, you never know if that “perfect” person will appear on the next swipe or the next date!

This is not an exaggeration. Our society has bred this mentality in nearly every way. The advent of the dating app has, without question, thrust us much farther down this insidious road.

Not surprisingly, this way of thinking has helped to popularize the “hookup culture,” degraded all sense of morality in relationships, and most definitely helped to normalize divorce. The overall deterioration of our culture is complex, but be sure that social media and dating apps have done more damage than probably anything else.

The second reason I want to mention is also multifaceted and is completely spiritual in nature. This can be summarized in simple terms: Satan has increasing control over this world.

Contrary to what many believe, people are not becoming more “godless” as interest in genuine religion wanes within our society. As I often say, no one—and I repeat, no one—on earth is godless. Rather, all people are under someone’s Lordship and, as the Bible explains things, there are only two options.

Everyone serves one of two masters. We either serve Jesus Christ, or the one who epitomizes the spirit of Antichrist: Satan. We now live in a time when most are serving Satan, whom Paul called the “God of this age” (2 Cor. 4:4) and Jesus himself called the “ruler of this world” (Jn. 14:30). Just as the followers of Christ imitate Christ, the followers of Satan imitate their dark master. Many, many people within our world have taken on the masquerading appearance and the characteristics of Satan.

Chief among these “Satanic Foot Soldiers” are the narcissists. As I have shown, they emulate the Devil’s traits to perfection. To understand Satan is to understand the narcissist, and vice-versa.

You are living in an illusion if you don’t think you are serving a god. Because Satan, the “god of this age,” has established control throughout the world, many are now patterning their lives after the chief Narcissist.

And here is what that looks like.

Narcissism and the Last Days

If the clear explosion of narcissism in our world is surprising to you, understand something else: this was predicted in the Bible.

God, knowing the hearts of men and the certain trajectory of our world, revealed nearly 2,000 years ago that narcissism would be a prominent indication that the end is near. This is not some type of vague prediction that requires textual manipulation or mental gymnastics, either. No, this is as clear as a cloudless day.

In 2 Timothy 3:1-5, Paul revealed the following information about humanity leading up to end:

“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”

I have underlined the key phases, as they pertain to the topic at hand. However, all these nasty attributes can be ascribed to narcissists.

When describing the events surrounding the end times, Jesus also spoke of this phenomenon, saying:

“And because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will become cold” (Mt. 24:12).

There is much that could be said, but it can be reduced to its essence. In the last days, most of the world will become self-absorbed, utterly loveless, having no natural affection and no empathy, and will have only a form of false godliness.

This is the essence of narcissism. This is precisely what is so visible within our world today.

Conclusion

It’s high time that we face reality and accept the truth. The world described above—with such large numbers of heinously corrupt people—is the world that is now here. It’s not off in the distance but is here. This is why so many people are now talking about narcissism, and why it’s all over the planet.

Friends, this is not an issue concerning 0.5-5% of the population. This is an issue concerning at least 15-25% of the population, and it’s spreading like a wildfire up a dry hill. Consider another horrific fact: this mean figure of “20%” is only describing those within our society who are heavily narcissistic or have many narcissistic traits. The harsh reality is that another large number of people exhibit a great deal of these traits, even if not to the point where we could identify them as full-blown narcissists.

Yes, narcissism is that prevalent on our planet. Satan’s foot soldiers truly do surround us.

If this is any indication of things, and I fully believe that it is, then we are living in the last days. How long do we have? None of us can say, nor should we be willing to forecast a date. As Jesus simply told us:

 “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming” (Mt. 24:42).

Well, I am watching . . . and what I see is an explosion of the very people that are said to fill the earth at the end of the age.

The narcissists are here . . . and so are the last days.
