I often write about the many ways we see those in society paying homage to Satan. Based on some recent discussions, I feel compelled to offer a snapshot of how this plays out in our world.

In the examples below, we will examine the most popular signs and symbols that reveals one’s affiliation with both Freemasonry and Satanism. I will not attempt to prove the connection between these two beasts in this article, but I will point you to this article and this extensive video if you need verification.

The short of it is that Freemasonry—the umbrella of all secret societies—runs our world. It really does. Yet, it is also true that Satan runs this world: that he is the “god of this world” (2 Cor. 4:4). How can both be true? That’s easy . . .

It’s true because Freemasonry is Satanism in disguise. Freemasonry is the church of Satan, hidden in plain sight at virtually every town near you and within the signs and symbols of the global elites.

With that said, let’s look at some of the key ways these signs and symbols can be seen all around us.

______________

The 666 Hand-Sign

This is perhaps the most popular sign used today by Satanists and Freemasons. This is all over the world of sports and entertainment. Make no mistake about it, this represents Satan’s number: 666. This is often performed while covering one eye, which itself expresses adoration for the “all-seeing eye.” I will discuss that symbol at the very end.

The Hidden Hand of Freemasonry

This is specifically a Masonic symbol but, given the overlap between Freemasonry and Satanism, those who display it are typically also satanists. This is also called the “Sign of the Master of the Second Veil” in Freemasonry. Rest assured that this is done with specific intent and is not random.

The Devil’s Horns

This is self-explanatory, or at least it should be. The one thing worth mentioning is that the sign has also become synonymous with “rock and roll!” Granted, many who flash the sign are only thinking of it in this way. However, this is truly a satanic symbol. It has only also come to symbolize rock music because it is, as David Bowie and others have said, “the devil’s music.”

The Black and White Checkerboard

As the first picture will illustrate, this is also specifically a Masonic symbol. Like the Hidden Hand, however, it has become immersed in satanism. These colors represent the dual nature of reality—the “yin and yang,” so to speak. In Masonic thought, the world is an almost indistinguishable blend of good and evil elements; both are “necessary.” In this sense, the two become logically inseparable and are ultimately reversed; good is evil and evil is good. This is why the Masons call Lucifer “good” and worship him as their god.

The colors usually appear either as a checkerboard or striped pattern but can be seen in various other ways. This is connected to every other sign and symbol illustrated here.

The All-Seeing Eye

This is easily the most pervasive symbol in all existence that illustrates allegiance to Satan. The Freemasons idolize the eye of Lucifer in their rituals, writings, and everyday life. In fact, it is this eye that they successfully placed on the US one dollar bill. As I will show, homage to the eye has trickled down through society and is now seen in our youth (mostly unbeknownst to them).

Emphasizing the “eye” can come in simply picturing one eye, in covering an eye or winking, and in so many other ways. In whatever case, it all means the same thing—hail Satan!

If you see only one sign in society today, pay attention to this one. It’s everywhere and tells the whole story.

And now, the children’s art . . .

Conclusion

As you can see, our society—and societies around the world, believe me—is inundated with Satanic filth. Click on each link to see more of the all-seeing eye in entertainment, sports, and children’s art.

These signs and symbols are unimaginably pervasive in our current time, and they illustrate exactly what I have been saying in many different ways:

The Satanic Age has fully arrived.

Please don’t make the mistake of ignoring this reality or the many signs and symbols associated with it. Don’t bury your head in the sand and chalk it all up to coincidence or believe that it doesn’t really matter. The pictures you have seen are Satan’s calling cards; they tell us that he is indeed in charge the world and that things are reaching a climax.

Now that you have seen these signs and symbols, be on the lookout for them wherever you go. If it matters enough to you to be observant, then you will be stunned by how often these images can be observed in your everyday life.

Friends, the one the Bible calls the “ruler of this world” (Jn. 14:30) and the “god of this age” (2 Cor. 4:4) really is both. Get the message and share it with others.

If this doesn’t urge you to cling close to Christ—the only one who can (and will) save us from the destruction that is coming upon this world—then I fear that nothing will.

It has long been said that “the greatest trick Satan ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”

In trying to track the origins of this quote down, it quickly became apparent that we are not entirely sure who coined it. Most sources seem to point back to the French poet, Charles Baudelaire, in 1864. If so, it has been tweaked and reapplied in numerous ways by many since then.

Whatever its true origins and exact verbiage, we have all heard this statement and can grasp its meaning. I would wager that most of us have actually adopted this view over the course of time. It almost goes without saying anymore. And why not? It’s just so logical.

The thinking is that, if Satan doesn’t appear to exist, then neither does God.

Supposedly, this is Satan’s strongest desire (his “greatest trick”) and the very purpose of all his intentions. Creating atheists: that’s the goal, right? According to this quote, it is.

However—and as you probably expect from me—I completely disagree with these sentiments. Satan’s greatest trick is not convincing the world that he—and by default, God—doesn’t exist, and promoting atheism is not Satan’s chief goal.

Allow me to explain.

____________

Satan’s “Second Greatest Trick”

While most people are familiar with the quote about “Satan’s greatest trick,” far fewer are aware of the one that is usually attributed to Ken Ammi:

“The second greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he is the good guy.”

Once again, whether Ammi was really the first to formulate these words, I don’t know. What I can say is that others (including myself) have also come to this conclusion independent of Ammi. In fact, I suggest that the “second greatest trick” is rightfully the first. The reason I believe this is simple: the Bible affirms it.

Let’s start by thinking about this question: What within Scripture would lead us to believe that Satan’s goal is to go unnoticed?

Personally, I cannot think of a single verse, passage, or theme within the Bible that would cause us to accept this idea. Nowhere—I mean nowhere—do we see Satan trying to convince anyone that he doesn’t exist. Further, this view is logically flawed from the onset. Even if that were the goal, how would Satan go about doing this? It seems to me that the best way to go unnoticed is to, well, keep others from noticing you! That is, he would hide himself from the world.

Satan does no such thing, in either Scripture or reality.

On the contrary, the Bible reveals that Satan repeatedly attempts to convince the world that is he one of the good guys. Note the distinction, here. Satan is not trying to go unseen but is trying to be seen in a positive light.

This was certainly the case when Satan tricked Adam and Even into eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Gen. 3:1-7). He appeared as one who was providing positive direction: an ally who was giving them understanding that would improve their lives. Satan did not leave them alone and remain unnoticed.

Satan, while trying his best to derail Jesus, appeared as someone who would fix Jesus’ problems and improve his situation (Lk. 4:1-13). By tempting him with bread and power over the world, Satan was showing himself to be something of a benefactor. Clearly, Jesus wasn’t buying it.

As I have mentioned innumerable times, Paul even reveals that “Satan masquerades as an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14).

In these examples and others, we understand something incredibly important: Lucifer realized long ago that true power comes through concealing malevolent intentions beneath a garb of light.

His efforts are not to be unseen but to be seen as holy, virtuous, and good.

Lucifer in Freemasonry

Nowhere is this more evident than in Freemasonry, which is Satanism in disguise. Specifically, it’s Satanism wrapped in Christian trappings. I am not going to elaborate on this now, because my readers understand that I have shown this extensively over the last several years.

(I will, as usual, point you to this blog and this video if you doubt that Freemasonry is Satanism in disguise. Please don’t pass these up, as they explain the evil fraternity in spades.)

With this in mind, I will quickly prove my point. The Masons are well known as a premier charitable organization. They give out scholarships, put on charity functions, and host pancake breakfasts. They were even instrumental in founding children’s hospitals like St. Jude and Shriner’s Hospitals for Children.

However, the Freemasons not only believe in Satan but even clearly state that Lucifer is God. Naturally, they worship Satan and not Yahweh.

If you doubt what I am saying, please allow one of the most respected and acclaimed Freemasons in history to plainly affirm this. Albert Pike gave an address in 1889 in France to the highest levels of Freemasonry. This was later reprinted on January 19, 1935, by the English journal The Freemason. In this address, Pike declared:

“That which we must say to the crowd is, we worship a god, but it is the god one adores without superstition […]. The Masonic religion ought to be maintained in the purity of Luciferian doctrine by all of us who are initiates of the highest degrees. If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay [sic] [the God of the Christians] whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion of science, would Adonay and his priest calumniate him?

“Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also God. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods: darkness being necessary to light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive… the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil.”

Also consider these quotes, all from the most well-respected Freemasons of modern history.

“LUCIFER! The Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness. Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!” -Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma, 321 (my emphasis).

Lucifer is “good.” Lucifer is “light.” Lucifer is “victory.” Lucifer is “true initiation.” -Albert Mackey (writing under the word “pentagram” in the Encyclopedia of Freemasonry)

“When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his Craft. The seething, surging energies of Lucifer are in his hands . . .”. – Manly Hall, The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, 76 (my emphasis).

Don’t ever let a Freemason tell you that their order doesn’t kneel to Satan. If they do, they are either completely lying or are too low-level within the fraternity to understand its Satanic core.

The main point remains that Freemasonry—Satan’s church that is hidden in plain sight—masquerades as a holy fraternity while secretly pushing the Satanic agenda in all aspects of life.

They do not wish to go unnoticed; they wish to be adored and admired as the “good guys.”

Satan in the Narcissist

Clearly, there are all manner of so-called “personality disorders” out there, and I have recently questioned whether these are truly psychological issues or spiritual ones.

My belief is that, while psychological factors certainly contribute to the matter, personality disorders are typically spiritual disorders. The reason I speak so frequently about narcissistic individuals is truly best illustrated in this article. If Satan’s greatest trick is to appear as one of the good guys, we need not look any farther than narcissists to see that play out in our world.

Like most things, narcissism can be viewed on a spectrum; there are some who are not as far down the evil path and others who waved goodbye to the last bits of their humanity long ago. One thing that all narcissists manifest, however, is the mask. By this I mean they all appear as something they are not. All of them.

A narcissist’s sole purpose in life is to extract the goodness from others to fill their own needs. When you boil it down, they seek to destroy others. And how do they do it? The mask. The mask is the means to their success. They will typically present themselves to others as good, helpful, loving, selfless, and pure. In other words, they “masquerade as angels of light.” After they have sufficiently sank their vampiric fangs into their prey—and yes, everyone is prey to the narcissist—the mask will drop, and the demonic interior is revealed.

This is truly a horrible sight to behold, and the abuse provided by narcissists is difficult to fully comprehend . . . even for those who have gone through it.

The point is this: narcissists are Satan’s foot soldiers. I sincerely believe that. If you want to see the character of Satan, look at a narcissist. Likewise, if you want to truly understand a narcissist, then do an in-depth study of the character of Satan.

I have evaluated both the narcissist’s and Satan’s characteristics here and here. Rest assured that the two overlap perfectly.

This being the case, narcissistic individuals prove that Satan doesn’t wish to convince the world that he doesn’t exist. Like the narcissist, he actually wants to convince the world that he’s one of the good guys.

There is simply far more power involved in doing so.

Conclusion

The world is not run by atheists. It’s not run by Christians, Jews, Muslims, or any of the like.

However, the world is still run by a religious order.

And what is that religious order? Why, it’s Satanism, of course. Yes, Satanists run this world.

Does the high-ranking Freemason—those who have achieved the 33^rd degree and onward into the darkness—tell us they worship Satan? Do the countless narcissists roaming the world in this Satanic Age reveal their allegiance to the Evil One?

No, of course they don’t. What they will do is dress themselves up—often with Christian trappings—and masquerade as virtuous individuals.

You see, if appearing to not exist were the goal, then Satan has failed miserably in his mission. If appearing to not exist were the goal, then why do the world’s “elites” worship him? Why is his eye on the US one dollar bill? Why does the most powerful enterprise on the planet—the Freemasons—claim Satan as their deity and worship the all-seeing eye in their meetings, rituals, and literature?

No, Satan has neither failed in his mission nor failed to take ownership of this fallen world. He has achieved his goal and pulled off what is really his “greatest trick”—which was to convince the world that he is God.

How shocking: the figure that the Bible calls “the god of this world” was, all along, trying to convince us that he really is.

–

For those who want to look farther into these matters, I suggest you see my article, 6 Characteristics of Satan (and his followers) and go from there.

We live in a time where seemingly everyone suffers from some type of “mental disorder.” Michael is bipolar. Andrea has an anxiety disorder. Matthew suffers from depression. Tiffany has borderline personality disorder. Ruth is a narcissist.

On and on it goes.

I want to begin by stating that there is absolutely something going on here, and that people who display unstable mental patterns are very much on the rise. Further, problems like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)—particularly within those who have experienced the horrors of war or similarly difficult events—are both real and tragic. I am in no way attempting to undermine problems of this nature.

But what about the other disorders and the overall trend toward a mentally unstable society? Is everyone just dealing with brain-chemistry and/or hormonal problems? Are these just “common” to humanity, and do we have any responsibility for them?

Or might there even be another explanation . . . a supernatural cause, so to speak? Is it possible that spiritual forces are to blame?

What is really going on here?

In this article, I want to unpack these questions and at least offer my own opinion on them. Please drop a comment below if you would like to engage in the discussion.

_____________

Genuine Mental Health Disorders

As previously mentioned, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a powerful thing. When one goes through an event (or events) that are unimaginably shocking and image-inducing, it is to be expected that it will stick with the person for a long time or perhaps forever.

Seeing a spouse reduced to skin and bones after a long battle with cancer is undoubtedly agonizing. Watching a child drown, be hit by a vehicle, or lose their life in some other unthinkable way is not only a nightmare but would be impossible to ever forget. Watching the soldier next to you be blown apart by a grenade would make for a hellish memory, without question.

Pardon the graphic nature of these examples but the point needs to be clear: PTSD is a real thing and can certainly be understood as a mental disorder.

This applies to complex post-traumatic stress disorder (c-PTSD) as well. This includes situations with ongoing trauma. People who undergo regular and consistent mental, physical, sexual, or other types of abuse often develop long-term mental problems. Abuse produces psychological effects that many of us can never wrap our minds around.

In both cases—and so many others—the power and energy of the associated events can imprint graphic images into the mind that will be replayed for the remainder of the person’s life, to one degree or another. While there is certainly a spiritual component involved with those who cause the abuse, we can easily understand that the victim’s brain chemistry has been altered and that this change largely accounts for their mental condition.

Another example of a mental disorder that is beyond the person’s control would be something like separation anxiety disorder (SAD). Anyone can understand the human emotions involved in being strongly attached to an individual/s and then losing them as part of your life. While this exceeds normal attachment levels and is clearly not healthy, it’s not a stretch to see how this would naturally develop in certain individuals.

Furthermore, any mental condition caused by brain trauma can be understood as existing beyond the person’s control and typically without supernatural agency. One can be mentally impaired by sustaining a critical blow to the head, without the need for demonic influence.

While other examples could be mentioned, there is no question that certain mental health issues are best explained by biological and/or purely psychological factors.

___________

The Intent of the Act

To this point, we have only considered matters that involve brain injuries, traumatic events, and particularly harsh circumstances. Certainly, these can be drivers for people to have or develop mental health disorders that manifest without the person’s intent.

But does that cover everything? No, certainly not.

Let me describe a scenario that illustrates this. Since I have been discussing narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) in recent blogs, it seems fitting to discuss this here. NPD is considered to be a personality disorder and, for our purposes, also a mental health condition. Importantly, it is frequently cast as something beyond the person’s control and driven by external causes (past trauma, childhood experiences, brain development, etc.).

In other words, many believe that narcissists don’t choose or plan their malicious behavior. I beg to differ.

I could offer countless reasons for this (and have given more elsewhere) but think on this example: the romantic relationship with a narcissist. There is quite literally a step-by-step playbook that is typically followed in fooling the victim and placing them into the “narcissistic fog.”[1] While slight variations are involved, here is how the process generally works.

1. The narcissist “love-bombs” the victim by heaping mounds of praise, adoration, intimate attention, and other positive reinforcement on them in a concentrated blast. This is also known as the “euphoric stage” of the relationship.
2. After the victim has bought into the person’s intentions—by falling in love, moving in together, getting married, or by some other means—the narcissist will suddenly drop the mask and create a massive dilemma in the relationship. This dilemma will arise seemingly from nowhere and will be either a contrived problem or an issue that is blown far out of proportion.
3. The victim will be asked to grovel for forgiveness, proving their commitment to the narcissist. If that happens, they will be accepted by the narcissist and moved into the next stage.
4. Now that the narcissist knows he or she “has” the victim under their spell and that they are willing to be manipulated, the “devaluation stage” begins. This is the body of the relationship, consisting of a constant push-pull cycle of events. The victim is constantly devalued and abused but given temporary reinforcement (“breadcrumbs”) to keep them hooked. In this cycle, a “trauma-bond”[2] is created in the victim, making it incredibly hard to break free. In short, it feels like being under a spell.
5. The devaluation stage continues until the victim either gains the insight to break free or, more likely, the narcissist “discards” them for someone they deem to be a better source of “supply,” or the “replacement.” This “new supply” was likely being groomed behind the victim’s back for most or all the relationship.

*Kicker – The narcissist will often “hoover” the victim after the relationship has ended. This means they will pick an opportune time to reenter their lives and try to lure them back in for another round of abuse and devaluation.

Anyone who has been through this vicious cycle knows exactly that these steps are valid; they really happen, and typically just as they are described above. If you have not experienced this—and have trouble believing it—I urge you to watch this video and read the countless comments below it that attest to this pattern.

This does not mean that every action is premeditated. In fact, narcissists are often extremely impulsive, worse than petulant children.

Still, someone (or something) is causing them to act in these fairly predictable patterns. The meticulous cycle of events described above—which is exhibited by nearly every narcissist in the romantic “game”—can hardly be accounted for by involuntary mental health problems. Read the list again (if need be) and look at how much strategy is involved.

This is not an involuntary act but is done with clear intent. The same applies to the behavior of sociopaths and psychopaths. They plot and scheme evil.

Intent matters. Intent is everything.

____________

Demonic Influence in the Bible

Mental health disorders, while clearly erupting in our current day, have always been with us. Or at least, abnormal human behavior has.

This was taken up many times within Scripture. Below are a few of the examples.

Christ encountered two men—one in Mark’s account, 5:1-13—who were possessed by demons (Mt. 8:28-34). This person was extremely violent, to the point where the town’s people could not even pass by him (Mt. 5:28). Jesus sent the demons into a herd of pigs.

As described in Mark 9:17-27, he also encountered a young boy who was possessed by a demon (a “mute spirit”). We learn from the Gospel accounts collectively that the spirit would cause the child to convulse, foam at the mouth, grind his teeth, and that it even attempted to both drown and burn him up in fire. Jesus cast the demon out of the boy, and it left with a shriek.

Jesus also worked closely with Mary Magdalene, from whom seven demons were cast out (Lk. 8:2). While the Scriptures do not clearly state this, it has long been thought that Mary was a sexually promiscuous woman: one with the “Jezebelle spirit,” so to speak. Whether this is accurate or not, we know that her behavior radically changed and that she lived a life of sin before encountering Jesus.

These are not the only possible examples, but they do reveal something critical. Whether we attribute the blame to the possessed individual, the possessing spirit, or both, the fact remains that the actions being performed were intentional.

While the child was not trying to do the harmful acts to himself, the acts were clearly thought out by the one controlling him. The possessed man may or may not have been choosing to harm those who passed by, but the one possessing him was. Mary was choosing to live an evil life but was certainly abetted by the demons at some point in her life.

It is my opinion that no one becomes possessed without choosing to give themselves over to the darkness. In other words, many evil (and willful) decisions likely precipitated the person falling into possession.

Let’s stop here and get to the heart of the matter. As the Bible describes things . . .

Jesus didn’t cast narcissism out of the person; he cast the demon/s causing the narcissistic behavior out of them.

Jesus didn’t cast sociopathic behavior out of the person; he cast the demon/s causing the sociopathic behavior out of them.

See the point?

This does not negate the reality that mental health disorders existed—such as the ones previously covered—which were not demonically motivated and, thus, mostly beyond the person’s control. Certainly, things like PTSD were not known about then, even though people still suffered from the condition.

But let’s get back to the main point. The intent to harm others or behave in evil ways was present in those who underwent exorcism in Scripture, even if that manifested as self-harm. For the believer, it is undeniable that many so-called “mental health disorders” are really the product of corrupt individuals who have allowed demonic activity into their lives.

Those in Christ cannot be possessed, so it stands to reason that anyone who is possessed either invited or permitted the demon/s to enter their life.

_______________

Conclusions

Clearly, this is an extremely difficult topic to broach. I realize that I have by no means answered every possible question or gone down all the rabbit trails.

However, I do believe that this at least points us in the right direction and provides a framework for discerning what we are dealing with: is this a possession or a mental disorder?

In my estimation, many things we have deemed to be mental disorders—such as narcissism and sociopathy—likely have some basis in brain development and upbringing. However, there is an undeniable pattern of behavior that often reveals choice, premeditation, and even an outright desire to do doing evil things.

If you need further evidence of this, please see my previous blog entitled, Narcissists: Satan’s Foot Soldiers.

Yes, there is intent in much of this. Though I cannot elaborate here and now, I would apply this intent to other matters as well. Things like having sex changes, believing you are wrongly sexed, or dressing in drag cannot be fully explained by a mental disorder—though our society is so corrupt that many wouldn’t even consider such things to be malfunctions.

Does the brain tell one to believe they belong to the opposite sex, that their reproductive parts are off, and that they should perhaps dress in drag? Even if we accept that “gender dysphoria” exists, we have a deeper question to answer—What caused the dysphoria?

Again, if not them then at least the one/s controlling them.

Friends, a smorgasbord of demonic activity now runs rampant in the Satanic Age we are living in. As I have explained, we cannot treat every issue as being demonically derived. However, we can be sure that much of it is.

Anytime we can pinpoint intent in actions and a conscious scheme to do evil, we can be sure that dark forces are involved.

It is my opinion that we need to stop trying to explain evil behavior by labeling it with a psychological term or believing that the person cannot help but act that way. Doing so will only give the enemy a greater foothold in our world and, perhaps worse, make us that much more vulnerable to his wicked schemes.

Footnotes

[1] The “narcissistic fog” is a term used for the stage where the victim is being consistently devalued. This comes after the person is hooked on the narcissist after the love-bombing stage (described in the article).

[2] The “trauma-bond” is developed by the constant push and pull cycle of the relationship. It’s literally a re-wiring of the brain that makes one become addicted to the reinforcement of the narcissist. This does NOT develop in healthy relationships.

There are so many ways that we can be sure of what is happening around us. The darkness is growing right before our eyes. What was once a stiff breeze has become a hurricane; the steady rain has turned into a monsoon.

Our world has been taken fully captive by the one who took humanity captive from the beginning: Satan.

While I am always providing examples of this reality, allow me to provide several especially potent ones for you here.

The Covid Lie and Global Governance

Perhaps the greatest example is where we should begin. Without question—and in no uncertain terms—there is now a global system of governance in place. Yes, global. I have created an almost four-hour video on the matter and, despite its length, I strongly urge you to take the time to watch it. It explains the entire web that Satan has weaved here at the end of our age.

If anyone wondered whether a global system of governance had been taking form in our world, this issue was settled in 2020 with the greatest Lie of our time (if not all time).

What “Lie” am I referring to? Well, recall that I said 2020. I am of course speaking about the “surprise outbreak” of a virus we experienced. The Covid-19 agenda was planned. I assure you of that. It had been in the works for many years. This can be seen in several ways, but here are a few.

The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security—in conjunction with the World Economic Forum, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—game planned an event that looked eerily like the Covid-19 outbreak, and they did it just months before the real thing occurred. To be more precise, Event 201 occurred right when the virus was spreading around the globe. They explained their simulation in the following way:

“Event 201 was a 3.5-hour pandemic tabletop exercise that simulated a series of dramatic, scenario-based facilitated discussions, confronting difficult, true-to-life dilemmas associated with response to a hypothetical, but scientifically plausible, pandemic. 15 global business, government, and public health leaders were players in the simulation exercise that highlighted unresolved real-world policy and economic issues that could be solved with sufficient political will, financial investment, and attention now and in the future.”

This simulation was impeccably similar to the Covid-19 crisis that “officially” hit the planet in the late winter of 2020. Here are some of the highlights:

• The surprise outbreak of a novel coronavirus occurred in swine and was called “CAPS.”
• It produced a respiratory virus, with symptoms ranging from “mild, flu-like symptoms” to “severe pneumonia.”
• It began in South America but spread around much of the globe in just three months, mainly via air travel.
• Many were believed to spread the virus “asymptomatically,” without even knowing they had it.
• The only proposed treatment was a vaccine that would need to be whipped up at lightning speed.
• They even did faux polling of the public, which revealed that a large portion of the population would take the vaccine “even if it’s experimental.”

If you know anything about the Covid-19 outbreak, then you are likely picking your jaw up from the floor. This checks every major box; every one of these factors involving “CAPS” sounds almost exactly like what really happened with Covid-19.

If you simply replace “swine” with “bats” and “South America” with “China,” you literally have an identical situation.

We have a coronavirus that mostly spread asymptomatically (how absurd), which supposedly arose organically from animals, began in one location and spread around the globe in a few months, resulted in anything from no symptoms to death, could only be cured by a vaccine that would be created at something akin to “Warp Speed,” and would be taken by the public even though its “experimental.”

Does any of that sound familiar? Absolutely incredible, right?

(If you doubt what I am telling you, see Event 201 for yourself here. Somehow, it is still online for public consideration.)

Building onto this, the “vaccine” agenda was apparent from the onset of the crisis. As soon as the virus dropped, so did the press for a vaccine. Moderna boasted of having their injection prepared within two days of the virus’ genome being published. Two days! Further, the shots became available to the public roughly nine months after they were created. Before Covid-19, it took a decade (plus or minus) to put a vaccine through all the appropriate trials and safety processes. When this virus arrived, however, it could all be done almost instantaneously: again, at “Warp Speed.”

Lastly, the entire globe was on the same page the very minute the virus dropped. Well, I should say, the very minute the global elites said “Go!” As mentioned, the virus was spreading long before they told us about it. In fact, we know that it was indeed spreading in Europe and other places by late-summer of 2019.

Further, we also know that China mysteriously doubled their yearly expenditures on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing supplies and related equipment between 2018-2019. This is what we call a “smoking gun.”

(I cover all this and more in my book, System of the Beast.)

The March 2020 kickoff was not the beginning of the spread, but simply the moment “they” chose to launch their plan. Believe it.

Getting back to the main point . . .  all at once, virtually every world leader called for lockdowns, social distancing, mask mandates, and complete obedience to the government. Like dominoes, everyone fell in line.

Just. Like. That.

Such a thing would have been completely unthinkable at any time in the past. Now—thanks largely to the manufactured Covid crisis—global governance is here and can/will be imposed at the drop of a hat. Just wait and see what they have in store for us next. Even as I write this, the talk of ramping back up on virus measures has resumed. Whether they give Covid another go or whip up the next virus—which, as I have shown, they already promised to do—they will return to this playbook at some point in time. In my opinion, very soon.

This is just one example—albeit an extremely powerful one—that proves my larger point. We now have a system of global governance. It’s not a project of the future; the “New World Order” is here.

More appropriately, the System of the Beast is here.

Organizations like the WHO, the UN, the Central Banking Cabal and, of course, the Freemasonic enterprise that secretly runs it all, now have complete control over our world. This means that the evil forces in the spiritual realm—which are the ones who are actually running our leaders and governments—own our world. Yes, the world is under Satanic control.

It always has been in a sense, but it has never been nearly so obvious.

The Public Display of Satanic Allegiance

I have detailed this evil phenomenon for several years now, so please see the blogs listed on this footnote if you wish to do a deep dive.[1]

The photos below, however, prove beyond a shadow of a doubt where we are with things. Though stardom and political clout has long required an oath to Satan—through Freemasonry, typically—those involved often kept their allegiance to the darkness under wraps. In fact, they often hailed Satan behind closed doors while singing the praises of Jesus publicly.

Now, however, all that has changed. People no longer need to hide behind the cross or any other object. Since Satan completely runs the show, they can (and do) pay homage to the Dark lord publicly for all the world to see.

First, just observe some of our favorite celebrities. I assure you that nearly every celebrity is part of the Masonic/Satanic enterprise, and images can easily be found on all of them.

This doesn’t simply apply to stars of stage, screen or music, either. No, no. Now, we can see the biggest athletes of our time showing their allegiance to Satan. As expected, it’s all done right in front of our faces . . . and no one seems to care. Observe the following examples.

All these images pay tribute to the all-seeing eye by either emphasizing one eye or doing the 666 hand-sign (or both).

If you are not yet appalled—and highly alarmed—then perhaps my final illustration can evoke this feeling. If I could offer you only one piece of evidence that the Satanic Age is here, this would be it. The most telling way to understand if an idea or fad has truly taken root in the world is to look at our children; has it (whatever “it” is) saturated society to the point that our children our now on board? Have they been idolizing the concept, obsessing over it, and imitating it?

In the case of the symbols I provided above—all of which clearly pay homage to Satan—the answer is a resounding yes. My usual readers have seen these images, but we can all benefit by viewing them again. I took these pictures at a festival near my hometown over the last two years. The artists were k-12 students from various grades and schools.

If you can ignore this “artwork,” then please grab your pillow and proceed back to your endless slumber. It doesn’t get any clearer than this.

Indeed, even many of our beloved children—through their obsession with our Satanic stars of stage and screen—are hand-crafting idols to Lucifer. If this doesn’t awaken you from your slumber, then neither will the voice of the archangel at Christ’s return.

Rest assured that this is all tied to how Freemasonry has overtaken our world. Freemasonry is Satanism in disguise, and it is the driving force of nearly every evil we are seeing. If you doubt this, then I urge you to really watch this video.

There is no denying it: The Satanic Age is here.

­________________

The Apostate Church

I will only briefly mention this one because 1) It is too relevant not to and 2) I have written an entire article on this already that goes into more detail.

The biblical authors prophesied of a time when the church would fall into decay and become largely corrupt: a shell of itself and a weapon of the enemy.

“Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit, or a message, or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.  No one is to deceive you in any way! For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction . . .” (2 The. 2:1-3)

“At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved” (Mt. 24:10-13)

“For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, and they will turn their ears away from the truth and will turn aside to myths” (2 Tim. 4:3-4).

Friends, all this is also now occurring. All of it.

Most church leaders are not only feckless but heretical. Most pews are filled with Sunday-only believers or outright frauds. It truly pains me to say that, but it’s just reality. As previously stated, the Bible confirms this.

At this point, the church is in freefall. There are two churches now: one that is completely corrupt and one that is the true Bride of Christ. The former, unfortunately, has far more members than the latter.

Only a remnant remains.

 Conclusion

With all this being said, I didn’t even mention another major signal of our times—the undeniable increase in toxic behavior, particularly narcissism. If you have been following my work, you know I have spent significant time recently describing these Satanic foot soldiers who literally all run their schemes out of one evil playbook. I don’t need to tell you who drew up the plays, do I?

(Please make time to see my earlier article and to educate yourselves on this horrific menace.)

But let me cut to the chase and close this out.

As I have clearly shown, the all-seeing eye is all around us. It’s literally everywhere you look. Do you understand what this means? Do you truly comprehend the significance?

In no uncertain terms, this reveals that the Satanic Age has arrived.

Bit by ugly bit, Satan has engulfed the world from the top down. He overtook our governments, our institutions of “higher learning,” our world leaders, our celebrities, musicians and athletes, and every other significant group on the planet. As you should now understand, it’s even worse than that.

The evil has slowly trickled down through the many tiers of our society and has come to reach its final audience: our children.

Further, none of those under Satan’s ownership even try to hide it anymore; they don’t need to. Our world has become so corrupt that one can thank Satan on the public stage, flash the 666 hand sign, and then proceed to strut off in their Masonic regalia, completely unbeknownst to most of the world.

Satanic allegiance has gone from hidden to hidden in plain sight.

Yes, friends . . . the Satanic Age has arrived. The sooner we understand this, the sooner we can do the only thing that will shield us from the “god of this world” and the destruction awaiting him and his followers.

That is, we must hide ourselves in Jesus Christ. If you haven’t made that commitment, then I cannot more strongly suggest that you do so today.

This is for all the marbles; everything hinges on this decision. And, clearly, the time is short.

Footnotes

[1] See the following videos, which clearly display the evils of the Masonic/Satanic enterprise at work in our world. Here, here, and here.

(I have recently started a YouTube channel where I will be discussing narcissism regularly. Check this out and stay up on the content!)

For those keeping up with my blogs, you know that I have been intensely railing against Satan and his followers for some time now.

There are numerous reasons for this. One is that I believe the Satanic Age is fully emerging before our very eyes. Yes, Satan has long been the “god of this world” (2 Cor. 4:4) and has been ruling over it since the Fall of Man. However, his ownership is nearing completion. I know this because the people of this world openly pay homage to Satan in every way possible, and many of our own children unknowingly worship him in broad daylight.

They hide nothing these days. They don’t need to, because most of the world can’t see it and the few who do barely care.

(Don’t believe me? Just start with this blog to see our leaders and celebrities serving Satan, and this blog to see how our children unknowingly do so.)

With that said, perhaps the most pressing reason I am all over this matter is that we need to understand the evil we are dealing with: really understand it.

If we don’t grasp the breadth and depth of our greatest enemy, how can we ever hope to battle him?

This also means understanding his human pawns that seek to destroy the faithful. It is precisely that aim that has inspired this blog. You see, a major part of the Satanic Age being present among us is the rise in truly evil individuals. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 summarizes this perfectly:

“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.”

To be sure, there is no shortage of evil people and there never has been. However, these behaviors are clearly on the rise. In fact, my own experience and research has recently led me to understand that there is a sect of individuals who literally epitomize the Satanic characteristics in our world.

They are not the only ones sold out to the Evil One but, again, they most perfectly exemplify his traits.

The word “Christian” literally means “Christ ones” or even “little Christs.” True Christians, then, imitate Christ’s actions and characteristics, reflecting his light to the people of the world. Likewise, I now understand that Satan has a counter group that imitate his actions and characteristics, reflecting his complete darkness to the people the world. They can appropriately be called “little Satans” or, as I am calling them, “Satan’s foot soldiers.”

These individuals have a name and belong to a group. You are probably familiar with this name, but almost certainly don’t understand what it really means. Nevertheless, here it comes. Who is this group I am referring to? Who are Satan’s foot soldiers? This is what we might call them . . .

Narcissists.

Yes, narcissists. If you are immediately thinking of someone adoring themselves in the mirror and acting grandiose, then you are only getting about 1% of the picture. There is much, much more to this. As I will discuss, not only are narcissists a race of their own, but they are perhaps the most terrifying human beings on the planet. A bold statement, I know, but I sincerely mean it.

Allow me to explain.

_________________

What is a Narcissist?

In ancient Greek mythology, there was once a man who was handsome and appealing beyond compare. Though he naturally had many admirers, no one could ever quite live up to his expectations. That is, until he came upon his own image while gazing into a pool of water. He found himself to be so striking that, as legend has it, he spent the remainder of his life fawning over himself near that same pool.

This man’s name was Narcissus.

I’m sure you immediately connected the dots and have gathered that this very name has given us the word “narcissist.” At its core, this means that a narcissist is “one who is in love with themselves.” But there is far more to it in our day and age.

Contrary to what most of us think—and what I used to think—narcissists are not simply prideful individuals who adore fancy things and are obsessed with appearances. These are not people who merely fell in love with their own image, as in the tale of Narcissus. To be sure, these characteristics are often true of narcissists.

The larger reality, however, is that narcissism is a very serious and full-blown “personality disorder,” called “narcissistic personality disorder” (NPD).

Psychologists and other mental health professionals have long classified it as such. This means that narcissists can be diagnosed with this disorder and treated (to a very small degree). I am not going to go into the weeds on how this is diagnosed, or even what every single definition of the disorder might be. Not only would this require a dozen blogs (or more), but I do not personally even see narcissism as a “personality disorder.” I will return to this point later.

For now, let me get into the meat of describing who these little slices of heaven really are. The characteristics below do not apply to every narcissist on the planet but are generally present within people of this ilk.

*Keep in mind that, for someone to be a narcissist, they need to show these traits as a pattern of behavior. They will consistently display these things, unlike healthy individuals who will only occasionally show some of them.

____________

Characteristics of a Narcissist

Characteristic #1: They Have no Empathy

As mentioned, not all these traits describe every narcissist. However, this particular one is essentially universal. Nearly every mental health professional familiar with narcissism agrees with this statement: narcissists lack all sense of empathy.

Empathy involves the ability to relate to someone else’ s pain or suffering. In short, those without empathy do not—and often cannot—have a genuine personal investment in anyone besides themselves. Chances are, those without empathy can fake having it and may even seem deeply compassionate or concerned to those who don’t truly know them. Most types of narcissists, especially the covert variety, are masters at feigning a personal interest in others.

But it’s just that: an act.

The truth is that narcissists could not begin to care less about the situations of those around them. Ironically, this is especially true of the individuals who are closest to the narcissist. Complete strangers are typically treated far better than a spouse or child in these twisted relationships.

To the narcissist, people are completely disposable, and they only matter in so much as they provide resources—often called “supply”—for them. This is precisely why they can (and will) destroy any relationship like they are turning the pages of a book. Essentially, they are utterly cold-hearted.

They lack all empathy and never truly care.

Characteristic #2: They are Unapologetic

Another key characteristic of narcissists is that they are virtually never apologetic. This, of course, goes hand in hand with lacking empathy. If you never truly care or relate to the needs of others, then it will not matter if you hurt them.

In researching, I have come across literally countless testimonies of individuals who spent years, decades, or even their entire lives enslaved to a narcissistic partner or family member. Virtually all of them report that they have never once received a sincere apology for anything. Whether it’s cheating, mental or physical abuse, gaslighting, or a host of other horrors, narcissists will never apologize.

In fact, narcissists frequently cause what it called “reactive abuse,” which means they forced another into finally blowing their lids and lashing out. Disgustingly enough, narcissists are infamous for pushing their partners into “going off” and then recording them doing so. This way, the narcissist can turn the tables and make it look like they are being mistreated. This is one of many sick acts they regularly execute.

To apologize would require accepting blame and being able to introspectively evaluate their behavior. Neither of which are possible for the narcissist. It’s true—they are totally unapologetic.

Characteristic #3: They are Manipulative

It is no stretch to say that, for the narcissist, every free moment is spent finding ways to manipulate those around them. No one—not children, romantic partners, parents, friends, business associates, etc.—can satisfy them. Likewise, no one is safe from their assaults. Just as it was with Narcissus in the Greek tale, no one is ever worthy. If you have pinpointed someone in your life as a narcissist, understand that there is no happy ending. They are not going to change.

Because of this insatiable thirst for more, narcissists will coerce others into becoming their servants.

There are several primary ways they do this. The first is through “love-bombing,” or the “euphoric stage” of the relationship. If it’s romantic, this is when they do nothing but sing your praises and convince you that you’re the best human being to ever grace the earth. This involves intimate acts, yes, but is even more predicated on constantly affirming one’s worth. In business, your narcissistic boss might tell everyone how fast you are picking things up, how hard a worker you are, and that you’re just what the department needs. In friendship, they may buy you things and offer to be that perfect sounding board you really need at the time.

You get the idea.

However, these are all forms of manipulation. Once they have lured you in and hooked you, the mask will drop, and “Mr. Hyde” will now come out to play. You’ll find yourself obsessed with the euphoric stage and trying desperately to get back. All along, they begin devaluing you and absorbing your time, money, and resources.

Another way the manipulation is accomplished is through the trifecta of gaslighting, projecting, and deflecting. I am going to talk more in depth about these strategies in the next article or two, so I won’t go farther into them now. Suffice it to say that making one doubt their reality, casting their own problems onto others, and wriggling out of all blame and/or responsibility are their greatest—though far from only—methods of manipulation.

For the narcissist, every person or event is an opportunity to manipulate.

Characterisic #4: They are Liars

It probably goes without saying that narcissists are liars.

They consistently lie about their whereabouts, who they are talking to or messaging, how they are spending their time, whether they are being faithful or not, and so many other things. Meanwhile, they will accuse you of doing the very things they are in fact doing. Projection, remember?

There is more to this though.

Narcissists not only lie incessantly to others but also to themselves. In fact, their entire lives are spent running away from themselves. The harsh reality is that these individuals truly loathe and despise who they are. There is so much insecurity and pain within them, and this is truly sad. They have typically endured and dished out more trauma in their lives than most of us can ever fathom.

They hate themselves, plain and simple. However, since they are also completely incapable of taking responsibility—in part because of the pain involved in doing so—their entire goal is to turn others into the person they hate the most: themselves. I will describe this more at the conclusion of this blog. The point is, their entire lives are spent lying to themselves about everything: who they are, who you are, how the world works, and anything else. They literally live in their own created fantasy world, where they are the only character that matters, and they operate accordingly.

Narcissists cannot live in the truth, or in reality at all. They are liars.

Characteristic #5: They are Stealthy

This trait is what really makes the machine run. This is what enables the narcissist to be, well, a narcissist.

Those who seek to deal genuine damage to others have long understood that there are two ways to do it, and that one is far more successful than the other. You can 1) Openly assert your agenda and immediately trigger their alarm bells or you can 2) Hide your true intentions and ensnare others in your schemes before they know what hit them.

Which do you think works better? Which option do you suppose the narcissist utilizes?

Obviously, it’s option #2. Very few destructive individuals ever announce their coming with bells, whistles, and a parade. I already mentioned the reason, which is that people would run the other way. It’s too obvious. At best, evil individuals might tease their intentions as a means of throwing it in our faces—as their way of being grandiose and arrogant—as the global elites did before the virus outbreak of 2020.

But I digress . . .

Yes, damage is best done by cloaking evil intentions with the garments of virtue. No human being—and I mean no one—understands this better than a narcissist. They are your best new friend. They are the newly found “love of their lives,” and the one who can finally save and protect them. You are their “greatest employee,” the “best son or daughter,” or the “only one who has ever really understood them.”

And them? That’s easy. They are the man or woman “of your dreams.” They are your “soulmate.” They are the most amazing boss, neighbor, or parent in all human history. They will help you get over your divorce, the loss of your home, your past trauma, and all the like. Your best interest is the only thing that matters.

Doubt it not!

You see, they will first appear to be good, caring, considerate, virtuous, empathetic, worthy, trustworthy, and consistent. After you believe all this, they will remove the mask . . . only to pull it back out whenever you begin to doubt any part of the described façade.

Make no mistake: narcissists are extremely stealthy.

Characteristic #6: They are Powerful

Only with the previous characteristics in place would this one make sense. Indeed: narcissists are very powerful.

You might expect me to make a disclaimer here and, in truth, I considered it. The disclaimer would have been that narcissists are just people, and so they have no more spiritual power than anyone else. After serious contemplation, I decided to override my initial thoughts on the matter.

Narcissists do possess spiritual abilities that many others do not have. I am not convinced that their manipulative skills are derived from a greater intellectual ability, or anything of the sort. Quite the contrary. Most narcissists are petulant children trapped in adult bodies. That’s a fact. If you have ever dealt with one for any length of time, you understand this.

Just as the followers of Christ possess a very real spiritual power, so do the followers of Satan. Now, here is the disclaimer: the two powers are nowhere near equal.

Still, narcissists can camouflage themselves and blend in as one of the “good guys.” They can subtly creep into our lives—even those of us who truly follow Christ—and wreak havoc in myriad ways. They can effortlessly destroy those without a moral compass or any inner strength. They can turn brother against sister, child against child, co-worker against co-worker, and friend against friend.

Their power should never be underestimated.

With that said—and hear this—they cannot overcome those who know Christ any more than Satan can overthrow God.

Satan’s Foot Soldiers

If you read my last blog concerning the 6 characteristics of Satan (and his followers), you may be connecting the dots. Yes . . . the 6 characteristics I described about Satan are the very same characteristics that epitomize the narcissist. The order may vary for the sole sake of these articles, but the traits are exactly the same.

This, dear friends, is not coincidental.

Narcissists destroy in the same way that Satan does, because they are one in spirit.

They do this, however, in a deeply psychological and evil way. The goal of a narcissist is to take a person, project their problems onto them, then blow that straw man up to soothe themselves. They literally turn you into them, then demolish “themselves.” In doing things this way, they do not personally suffer damage because it’s you who is suffering and not them.

You have now become (to them) everything they hate about themselves, so they can set fire to you physically, mentally, and certainly spiritually.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat. One by one, they cycle through unsuspecting individuals and attempt to lead them into the pit. And here’s the thing: it often works.

They will devour your time, money, energy, relationships, and yes, they will absolutely demolish your faith. They do so intentionally most of the time, which tells me that we are not dealing with a “mental disorder” but with a “spiritual disorder.” Narcissists are social parasites—energy vampires—who suck the life out of you and leave you for dead. Sometimes, this is a literal event. Countless lives have been destroyed and innumerable suicides have taken place because of these Satanic creatures.

If you know people who fit the descriptions above, then I strongly urge you to better educate yourselves about narcissism. Further, you really need to distance yourself from this person—or these people—in very quick fashion. They are walking nightmares: evil on two legs. Like their dark master, they seek only the ruination of souls. They are perhaps the chief opponents of Christ and his followers.

They are Satan’s foot soldiers.

The title of this blog is self-evident, so I will offer little in the way of an introduction. Furthermore, I have a lot to say in this one, so I want to dive right in.

It is on the longer side, yes, but I truly believe it is well worth the time spent reading it. For those who are willing to do so, I hope you will agree.

Let’s get to my 6 characteristics of Satan and his followers.

_______________

1. Characteristic #1: Satan is Powerful

I don’t need to wax poetic to prove this point, or even offer my own insights. The biblical authors were clear about Satan’s power. In the Book of Job, Satan performs all manner of wonders to sabotage Job’s life. Satan took Job’s livestock, murdered his servants, destroyed his land, demolished his reputation, and even murdered his ten children in one fowl swoop (Job 1-2).

He then struck Job with sores on his body and turned his own wife against him (2:7-9). Finally, he sent three insidious “comforters”—Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar—in an attempt to gaslight him and warp his mind. But notice the power exhibited, here. Satan was not only able to destroy so many lives but was also able to cause fire to rain down from heaven (1:16) and whirlwinds to appear at will (1:18-19).

This is a truly powerful being—make no mistake about it.

We also know that Satan famously tempted Jesus—the incarnate Son of God—at the onset of his ministry. There, Satan went so far as to say this:

“The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, ‘I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. If you worship me, it will all be yours” (Lk. 4:5-7).

While Satan is the “Father of Lies” (Jn. 8:44), he wasn’t lying about owning all the kingdoms of the world.

Paul and Jesus both go so far as to state that Satan has ownership over our world, in its currently fallen state. Paul called him the “ruler of this age” (2 Cor. 4:4). He also called Satan the “prince of the power of the air” (Eph. 2:2). Jesus called him the “ruler of this world” (Jn. 14:30).

Satan is not God, and he does not win the war; be certain of that. However, Satan is a being—a fallen angel—who possesses immense power. For now . . .

• Characteristic #2: Satan is Stealthy

While Job discovered that Satan’s power can be rather overt, he typically works behind the scenes. This does not mean that he wants to appear absent. It is said that “the greatest trick Satan ever performed was convincing the world he doesn’t exist.” I disagree. Satan’s greatest trick is convincing the world that he is God.

The Bible is clear that Satan wants to be worshipped, not ignored. This was evident in his appeal to have Jesus bow down and worship him (Lk. 4:5-7), and in Isaiah’s description of Lucifer—yes, the Hebrew language uses that term—as the “son of the morning.” Lucifer wants to “ascend to the heavens,” “sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,” and make himself “like the Most High” (Is. 14:13-14). More could be said, but this is not the desire of someone who wants to go completely unnoticed.

Rather, it’s the desire of one who wants to be worshipped and adored.

What I mean by “stealthy,” then, is that he does not make his plans known at the onset. Again, his attempt is not to go unnoticed. Satan, after all, “masquerades as an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14). Hear this—Satan’s efforts are to blend in as one of the good guys. Everything is camouflaged to mask his true intentions; everything is a smokescreen.

That is, until he has successfully roped his victims into the net of corruption. As Al Pacino—while playing Satan, of course—remarked on the movie, The Devil’s Advocate: “You gotta keep yourself small: innocuous. Be the little guy . . . I’m a surprise . . . they don’t see me coming.”

They clearly derived these sentiments from personal knowledge of Satan’s strategies. Lucifer is stealthy—you don’t see him coming.

• Characteristic #3: Satan is Manipulative

Another one of Satan’s key characteristics is that he is manipulative. Consider again the temptation of Jesus, but this time look at exactly how Satan tempted him.

The first temptation was of basic need: food. Jesus, having been in the wilderness for forty days and nights, had not eaten in that time and was beyond famished. Satan knew this, so he used this need against Jesus, offering him bread (Lk. 4:3). However, he did so by trying to manipulate Jesus’ divine ability:

“If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread” (4:3).

Next, Satan attempted to manipulate Jesus’ understanding of his purpose and power. By showing him the kingdoms of the world and offering them to Jesus—again, wanting worship—Satan wanted to make Jesus believe that things aren’t as they seem. Jesus—the Creator and Son of God—didn’t really have ultimate ownership over the world. Taking the occasion when Jesus was struggling in human form, he tried to gaslight him into believing something different about his own purpose and power (Lk. 4:5-7).

Finally, he clearly attempted to manipulate Jesus into abusing his power. By tempting him to jump off the top of the temple and have the angels rescue him (Lk. 4:9), Satan was trying to manipulate Jesus into abusing his divine authority and forsake his mission.

But don’t miss this point; note that Satan also quoted Scripture in his manipulative plans (Lk. 4:10-11). There is no clearer sign of manipulation than subverting the very words Jesus inspired through Scripture!

Hmm . . . do any people ever do that?

Lastly, after the temptation, Scripture reveals even further how manipulative Satan really is:

“And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time” (4:13).

Satan picks his times and attacks when we are at our weakest points. In this, he proves that he is also a complete coward.

Let’s not miss the point here though. Friends, understand that these examples are all sophisticated forms of “gaslighting.” Satan loves to create manipulative scenarios that cause others to doubt their understanding of reality, thus turning the situation to his favor. Everything and everyone are a means to an evil end.

He knows the best times to take advantage of us, as well as all the right buttons to press. Satan is truly manipulative.

• Characteristic #4: Satan is a Liar

This one does not need a great deal of explanation, particularly because Jesus directly told us that Satan is the “Father of Lies.” But let’s look at the full statement, for emphasis:

“. . . there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (Jn. 8:44).

There is no truth in Satan. Lying is as easy for him as changing the TV channel is for us. In fact, he cannot help but lie.

Think about his first lie, the Big One. Upon hearing God’s command to Adam and Eve that eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil would result in death, Satan (the serpent) said this:

“You will not certainly die,’ the serpent said to the woman. ‘For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Gen. 3:4-5).

This, of course, worked. Lies have tremendous power to destroy and no one knows that better than Lucifer. Here, he was able to completely subvert the truth. Not only would Adam and Eve not die, but they would in fact “be like God” Himself: eternal and ageless.

This also illustrate Satan’s ability to project his desires onto others. Satan desires to be like God, so it’s logical that he would project that outcome onto others. Projection is perhaps the strongest and most potent form of lying and, once again, Satan is the Father of projection. Satan can, does, and must lie.

• Characteristic #5: Satan has no Empathy

Recall from earlier the incredible damage inflicted upon Job. Satan destroyed countless servants, livestock, property, and even Job’s sons and daughters. All this was done to prove another lie, which is that Job served God only because of his incredible wealth and blessings.

Jesus walked in this world as one of us, being both fully human and fully divine. Because of this, he understands our human condition and can perfectly empathize with it. Jesus can put himself in our shoes and genuinely care because 1) He walked in our shoes and 2) His nature is to care. The author of Hebrews described this reality perfectly when he said:

“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin” (4:15).

Satan, on the other hand, can neither sympathize nor empathize with anyone. His heart is calloused. Destruction is the name of the game. Everyone is disposable, and he cares nothing for other beings, even those who worship him.

Satan decimated Job’s life and murdered those around him. He asked to “sift” all the apostles “as wheat” (Lk. 22:31). He tried to derail Jesus from his mission during the Temptation, afterwards through Peter (Mt. 16:23), and then ultimately succeeded in murdering Christ through corrupting Judas (Lk. 22:3). Presently, he “prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Pet. 5:8).

For Satan, it’s win at all costs . . . even though he knows he can’t (discussed next).

Imagine the callousness it takes to destroy the lives of innocent people at will without having the slightest concern. Satan has no problem with it. Pure callousness. Unbridled cruelty. No depths are too low and no lengths are too far.

Satan is completely pitiless. Completely. There is no remorse, no regret, and no empathy.

• Characteristic #6: Satan is Unapologetic

Along these lines, Satan also has no ability to be apologetic. This may seem obvious, or even irrelevant to you. But let me explain.

Of all beings in existence, Satan understands the power of God. He knows who his Creator is and knows that he, himself, can create nothing. Lucifer understands how this will all play out and that he will inevitably lose. His future is Gehenna, the lake of burning fire.

He knows this for certain, yet he persists. He persists in his mission to destroy God’s good Creation and all those who serve the Lord. He knows he will go down but, rather than repent, Satan opts to “go down swinging.”

Like the Balrog on the Fellowship of the Ring, Satan wants only to take others down with him. His bitterness and hatred are all he has left.

This, friends, is the true face of evil.

To again quote Pacino from The Devil’s Advocate: “Freedom, baby . . . is never having to say you’re sorry.” This is truly Satan’s motto. As the movie also says—while quoting Milton’s Paradise Lost—Satan would rather “reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.”

He would rather be destroyed than repent. Satan is completely unapologetic.

Satan in his Followers

I have recently done a deep dive into the characteristics of those possessing “narcissistic personality disorder” (NPD), particularly the less obvious—but probably more dangerous—covert variety. For those unfamiliar with this, please take a few minutes to review this video. Your own well-being, or that of a loved one, could depend upon understanding these individuals, who are seemingly everywhere these days.

(I plan to discuss the sadistic nature of narcissism in our world in upcoming blogs, so stay tuned for this.)

My point in bringing this up now is simple: people with NPD are rampant, and they perfectly illustrate how Satan’s characteristics come out in the people of this world.

• Q. Remember how I said that Satan’s true desire is to be worshipped and adored? Well, who does that sound like? A. A narcissist.
• Q. What kind of people constantly operate with stealth, seeking always to manipulate others? A. A narcissist.
• Q. Who relies entirely upon a façade—a “mask”—and lives their life by stacking one lie upon the next? A. A narcissist.
• Q. Who has absolutely zero empathy for others and cannot apologize if their life depended on it? A. That would again be . . . a narcissist.

Am I saying that people with NPD and similar conditions are evil? Yes—and without question. I believe these are far more than mental disorders, though I am not saying that outside factors—such as upbringing, past trauma, and brain chemistry—have nothing to do with them.

What I am saying is that, if these behaviors cannot be clearly labeled as “evil,” then what possibly could?

When Jim Jones—who exhibited all the clear signs of a narcissistic sociopath—charismatically persuaded a flock of individuals to give up everything in their lives and start a “utopian” community in Jonestown, Guyana—which resulted in hideous abuse and what he called “revolutionary suicide” via poisoned Kool-Aid—was he simply suffering from mental illness?

What about other cult leaders? What about mass murderers like Stalin, Pol Pot, Adolph Hitler, and the like. What about school shooters like Dylan Klebold, Eric Harris, and Adam Lanza? Were they all just mentally ill?

Clearly, not all people with destructive personality disorders become mass murderers. However, they all deeply wound those around them. Often—as in the case of narcissists—they even enjoy doing so.

When one’s behavior mirrors the characteristics of Satan himself, there is no other way to see it; it’s simply evil.

We must not give this behavior a pass or attempt to explain it away in biological or psychological terms.

Evil is as evil does.

I will not go farther into this now, but I believe the majority of our actors, politicians, athletes, and other world leaders can (and should) be classified as narcissists (and we now know there is evil behind most of it). Just look at the way they behave. Nearly all of them are completely self-absorbed, have no or little empathy, cycle through an endless supply of romantic relationships, cause harm to those around them, and perhaps most importantly, they have no ability to accept blame or even care about the damage they inflict.

Not surprisingly, these same people are almost universally Freemasons and Satanists. As my readers know, I have probably taken more pains to prove this point than any other. If you are new to my blog, start here and begin the deep dive into the true nature of the world’s elites.

Yes . . . Satan’s followers exhibit his characteristics, and they are all around us: now far more than ever.

Conclusion

Hopefully, you have found this article worthy of your time and reflection. However, you may still be wondering why I am discussing these matters and linking them all together. Why do I spend so much time trying to expose Satan, the Freemasonic enterprise, people with “personality disorders,” and simply those in our world who exhibit the traits of their evil master?

The answer is simple: Christians need to understand the enemy. We must know who we are fighting against, what their characteristics and strategies are, and the immense threat they pose to the true people of God. As Paul so poignantly said:

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” (Eph. 6:12).

While Satan’s earthly servants threaten us in innumerable ways, they derive both their power and nature from the “forces of evil in the heavenly places.” It’s biblically undeniable, but it also plays itself out clearly in reality.

Satan’s impact in our world cannot—and must not—be overlooked or in any way diminished. The clearer we understand the earthly and heavenly powers of darkness, as well as how Satan’s image is being reflected in our world, the better equipped we will be to wage spiritual battle and to “stand firm to the end.”

Be vigilant to observe the schemes of Satan, as well as those around you who carry them out.

Your very salvation could depend upon it.

[If you find this issue interesting, you will encounter many more fascinating things about heaven, the angels, and our future bodies in my book, Spiritual Things]

Over the years, I have come to understand that certain teachings in Scripture receive little to no attention within most worshipping communities.

We could look at the doctrine of hell—which I have discussed at length here—for example. We might also mention the harsh biblical reality that many who profess to be Christians will not be saved; as Jesus said, “For many are called but few are chosen” (Mt. 22:14). Similar statements are made throughout the Bible.[1]

Choosing to largely ignore teachings like these, while unacceptable, is at least logically understandable. Most people don’t want to hear that living the Christian life will be a major challenge, or that eternal suffering awaits those who don’t truly know Christ. But, in the case of the topic of this article, it’s difficult to say why it is often disregarded. My best guess is that it’s simply a difficult concept to grasp.

Whatever the case, I believe the resurrection body is easily one of the most interesting and inspiring topics in all of Scripture. It’s utterly astonishing to get a glimpse into the life of the heavenly beings, and to understand what we will someday be like after Christ’s return.

Hopefully, you will find this to be as important and thought-provoking as I do.

Jesus: The Firstruit

In the Old Testament, two privileged individuals were able to forego death and ascend directly to heaven: Enoch and Elijah. Curiously, this never occurred even once in the New Testament.

However, many people in both the Old and New Testaments were raised back to life (i.e., were resurrected). Both Elijah and Elisha accomplished (through God) the feat of resurrecting others in the OT.[2] In the NT, we see this occur with Jairus’ daughter (Mk. 5:22-43), a widow’s son (Lk. 7:11-17), a woman named Dorcas (Acts 9:40), a man named Eutychus (Acts 20:9-10), and of course Jesus’ beloved Lazarus (Jn. 11:38-44). This even occurred with a host of unnamed individuals who were resurrected after Christ’s death, and then proceeded to walk around Jerusalem (Mt. 27:51-53)!

Clearly, many people were resurrected, and a couple have been assumed into heaven. But one—only one—has ever been brought back from the grave with what Paul calls the “spiritual body,” or the resurrection body.

Can you guess who that was?

If you said Jesus, then you wagered correctly! Paul stated this plainly in 1 Corinthians 15:20-21:

“But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.”

Jesus is certainly the “firstfruit” because he conquered death on our behalf, ensuring that we will also be raised from the dead. But there is more to it. As stated earlier, Jesus is not the firstfruit from the dead merely because he was raised to life; others had been throughout the biblical narrative. Instead, he was the firstfruit because he was the first to be resurrected with the spiritual body that all his followers will one day receive.

It’s about him conquering death and doing so with the resurrection body!

This is further explained later in 1 Corinthians. Concerning the resurrection body, Paul says:

“It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. Thus it is written, ‘The first man Adam became a living being’; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven” (15:44-49).

Though death and the fallen bodies we currently possess came through Adam, life and the glorious “spiritual bodies” we will one day possess come through Christ. Not only did Christ redeem us from sin and death, but he will bestow upon us bodies like that of his glorious body.

This, friends, is where it starts to get very interesting.

­__________

Jesus’ Resurrection Body

When we look at the appearances of Jesus after the Resurrection, we get a glimpse into the heavenly realm. We discover that, not only was Jesus almost unrecognizable, but that he was able to move in and out of our world at will. Truly, the spiritual body is a different thing altogether.

The first example of this came when Mary Magdalene tarried near the empty tomb, mourning for Jesus (Jn. 20:11-18). There, she sees a “man” and assumes he is the gardener who tends the area. Then, simply by hearing the man address her in a familiar tone—“Mary”—she becomes fully aware that she was talking to Jesus, himself. It was not his appearance that gave it away, but his manner of speaking.

Further, we see that Jesus appeared two different times to his apostles when they were hiding from the Jewish authorities.[3] These two visitations—occurring a week apart—both involved Jesus passing through a locked door to see his apostles. The second time, “doubting Thomas” famously touched Jesus’ body to ensure it was really the same man who had been crucified (20:27-28). Somehow, Jesus’ body did not have the limitations that ours do; he passed right through solid objects but could still be touched!

One of the strongest indications we receive that Jesus had returned with a transformed body can be found in Luke 24:13-35. Here, we read about two of Jesus’ disciples who are traveling from Jerusalem to a town called Emaus. Along the way, they encounter an unexpected guest. While much discussion occurs between them, the astonishing part of the story is what the two disciples failed to understand.

The trip from Jerusalem to Emmaus is about seven miles, as indicated in Scripture (24:13). Jesus joined them—at least some point early into the journey—and spoke with them the entire way. They didn’t recognize him. More amazingly, they implored Jesus to stay and eat with them after the long journey and he agreed to. The text reveals that, when Jesus broke the bread and blessed the food, “their eyes were opened, and they recognized him” (24:31). To further complicate matters, the same verse then records that Jesus “vanished from their sight.” Poof: Jesus was gone again!

Take note of what this text is really telling us. Two of Jesus’ disciples—who clearly walked, spoke, and even ate with him during his life—walked close to seven miles and sat down to dinner with him, without knowing who he was. Indisputable! Clearly, Jesus had been transformed after the Resurrection. Then, we have yet another example of Jesus being able to come and go between heaven and earth at will. This is the nature of the spiritual body.

While being more subtle in its point, perhaps the greatest evidence of Jesus’ transformed body is found toward the end of John’s Gospel. There, we read that Peter, John, James, Nathanael, Thomas, and two other disciples were out fishing in the Sea of Galilee (21:1-14). Having caught nothing, a stranger appeared on the shore and called out to them, asking them to try one more toss off the right side of the boat. This yielded a miraculous catch and John immediately proclaimed that the strange man was indeed the Lord (21:7)!

Afterwards, they came back and prepared some of the many fish they had caught and ate dinner together. Note that Jesus was able to eat, even with his new body. However, we cannot miss the most astonishing part. Even after the miraculous catch and making their way onto the shore—by now, no doubt close enough to really see Jesus—John includes this tasty little detail for us:

“Jesus said to them, ‘Come and have breakfast.’ None of the disciples dared ask him, ‘Who are you?’ They knew it was the Lord” (21:12, my emphasis).

Now, I ask you: why would this be included? Why on earth would the disciples, by that point, still clearly be wondering who this miracle man was? Yes, no one asked him . . . but they apparently thought about it. It was on their radar!

All these accounts reveal critical details about Jesus’ resurrection body. Jesus was able to eat, drink, and fluidly move in between the earthly and heavenly realms. Perhaps more powerfully, however, we learn the undeniable truth that Jesus did not look the same anymore. He may have resembled the Jesus of old but was different; something had changed, so much that his closest followers didn’t recognize him by his appearance alone.

Jesus’ body had been transformed, and he was now known mainly through his presence and actions.

_____________

Our Future Glory

I will make the conclusion to this article short and sweet. Just as Jesus’s body had been transformed into a “spiritual body,” all who follow him will experience the same incredible reality.

As Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:49:

“Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.”

And then later, in 15:51-52:

“Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.”

Jesus’ death and resurrection not only secured everlasting life for those who abide in him, but also will award us with an incomprehensible bonus gift—incorruptible, heavenly bodies!

Truly, such things come to us who are most undeserved.

“We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty” (Lk. 17:10b).

The ancient Egyptians believed they could satisfy the wrath of the deities with the blood of their fellow man, even sending some to an early grave to travel in the afterlife with the Pharaohs.

The people of Teotihuacan sacrificed human beings in hideous fashion to their god, Quetzalcoatl, also known as the “Feathered Serpent.” (I wrote extensively about this here.)

The Canaanites sacrificed their children to Molech, spilling their blood to appease the false god. Even some of the Jewish people were corrupted to the point of doing the same.

Different as they are in myriad ways, it seems as though virtually all religions have always converged on a central reality: there is power in the blood.

In Christian thought, this point should be rather obvious. After all, Scripture speaks repeatedly about the need to shed blood for the forgiveness of sins, and innumerable hymns speak to its potency.

But have you ever stopped to truly evaluate why? Why, exactly, does blood carry such power? Why is blood necessary for atonement and the forgiveness of sins?

In this article, I want to answer these pivotal questions. More than that, I want to suggest that there is far more going on with the significance of Jesus’ blood than most of us have ever realized. Far more.

_______________

Blood Lust

The first question that needs answering is perhaps known to many of you but may not be totally understood. What is with the blood lust: why the obsession?

At the end of the day, blood represents life. Put another way, it is the life source; drain the blood and you drain the life of something. It’s just as God told the Israelites in Leviticus 17:11:

“For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.”

Hebrews 9:22 echoes this reality:

“Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.”

The shedding of blood requires the death of the person or animal providing it. Life and death: there can be no clearer or dramatic distinction available to us. Nothing else imaginable could ever have the significance of the sanguine liquid that fills our veins and pumps throughout our bodies. Is there a more vivid and powerful visual in all the world than seeing the blood drain from a wounded animal or, worse yet, seeing it leave a human being and pool beneath them?

Little by little, the power, the life force, and the energy fade as an exit from this world becomes certain.

I apologize for the graphic description, but the point needs to be clear—life is found in the blood. As such, nothing on this earth is more sacred than human blood. This is exactly why the ancients sacrificed their brothers, sisters, parents, and even children, to the many false gods of the world, all of whom find their identity in Satan: the one whom the Bible calls “the god of this world.” Horus . . . Baal . . . Moloch . . . you name it.

There are not many evil deities but one, just as there is only one true Lord of the cosmos: Jesus Christ.

Satan—Lucifer, the Evil One, the Ancient Serpent, and the Father of Lies—is a blood-thirsty monster who is destined for the pits of hell. Satan has been showered in blood by his devoted followers throughout all of human history, because he owns our history. He owns our world, for now.

This leads us to the greater point in this discussion of blood: the point that alludes so many (and long alluded me).

______________

The Currency of the Spiritual World

Ever since the Fall of Man, Satan has run the show. Contrary to popular thought, we are not born into a neutral situation, where we must decide which path to take. A newborn does not live somewhere between Satan’s clutches and Christ’s rule. No, in biblical thought, we are born into the ownership of the Evil One.

“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience, among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind” (Eph. 2:1-3, my emphasis).

There isn’t a soul on earth who has, does, or will ever live apart from this reality. All of us begin our lives in servitude to Lucifer and, sadly, many remain that way until death. But there is, shall we say, “good news.” Blood can buy us back from this wretched state. Blood can give us a new Master and an infinitely better existence.

But, to do so, this blood must be of the highest quality. It must be far more precious and costly than the blood of any animal or even any mere mortal.

What would it take to be redeemed from Satan—whom, again, Paul called the “god of this world,” and the Jesus called the “ruler of this world” (Jn. 14:30)? How do you buy a living soul back from such a powerful, spiritual being? Well, there is only one logical way: with the blood of a more powerful, spiritual being.

This is exactly what Jesus did on this earth more than 2,000 years ago. Being fully God and fully man, only Christ was able to provide the proper atonement—the proper blood sacrifice—to deliver us from the grasp of those in the heavenly realms and the spiritual places. Jesus’ blood is the most valuable spiritual currency in this world or the one that we cannot see: the most valuable currency in all existence.

Jesus’ blood—and that alone—can save us from our fallen and Satanically-owned starting point, and only this spiritual currency can save us from an unspeakable ending point.

______________

Power in the Blood

Do you now have a better glimpse of what is really behind the world’s blood lust? Does the sacrifice that Jesus made—and the spilling of his divine blood—appear to you in a fresh and powerful way? With the previous information in mind, let’s now look at a few passages that should now take on a whole new meaning.

“Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock . . .” (Acts 20:28-29).

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect” (1 Pet. 1:18-19).

“But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come . . . he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption” (Heb. 9:11-12).

Finally, understand what Jesus said about the sacrifice he would later make:

“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mk. 10:45).

Only with this understanding of blood can we truly know what it meant for Jesus to give his life “as a ransom.” The Greek word used here for “ransom” is lutron, and it is used only twice in the entire New Testament. Both times refer to the same event, just from a different Gospel account (Mk. 10:45 and Mt. 20:28). Among other things, lutron means “the purchasing money for manumitting slaves.” That is, the currency that must be used to set a slave free from his or her captor.

You see, we were held hostage by the evil powers of darkness. All people coming into the world are held hostage in this state of complete slavery to Satan. Indeed, it is Jesus’ divine blood that bought us back from Satanic ownership.

Do you see that now? Do you really understand what is going on here? Jesus’ blood purchased us back from Satan! Divine blood was shed and used on our behalf, so that we could live as slaves to Christ rather than slaves to Lucifer!

A very, very real transaction took place 2,000 years ago at Golgotha, and it occurred in the spirit realm. Blood was the currency used . . . divine blood.

This is without question one the most profound biblical teachings and realities in all existence. This is the very thing that we take for granted when we say, “Christ died for us.”

In closing, please know this. Everyone—everyone—coming into this world inherits a cell in Satan’s prison. We are born as captives; that is our starting point.

Only the blood of Christ can set the captives free.

As the ageless hymn proclaims, there really is “pow’r in the blood.” Immense power. Now, hopefully, you fully understand why.

[What follows is only the tip of the iceberg. For the full view of who runs this evil world and what will come of it, see my video, System of the Beast.]

I have tried to detail for some time exactly how evil the world truly is and who is actually running it. In this article, I want to refresh our memories on these brutal realities.

As Wesley Snipes remarked concerning the vampiric nightmare depicted on the movie Blade: “The world you live in is just a sugar-coated topping; there is another world beneath it.”

In truth, the same can be said of our world. That is, the “real” world. Our reality is shaped by those who wield the power, and the power comes from being well-connected in one of the various earthly niches of music, film, sports, politics, and industry.

Of course, there’s more to it than that: a lot more. Within those respective industries, those who climb to the highest–and, thus, the most influential–levels don’t get there through hard work alone. In fact, that often has little or no bearing on one’s stature. Rather, power and influence are derived from dedication to the darkness and the human conduits of evil.

Put another way, you must be a part of Satan’s “church” and its most obvious earthly manifestation: Freemasonry.

I am not going to go into a full crash-course on the origins and influence, or the many symbols within the Masonic enterprise, here and now. If you want evidence of its horrors, look no farther than my World Beneath blog series and my extensive video called System of the Beast. Better still, go back and watch Altiyan Childs’ all-time powerful video that exposes Freemasonry to perfection.

With that said, I do want to share a number of damning images from some of the world’s favorite celebrities. Beneath each set of pictures I will also explain what we are really seeing and how it connects to the Satanic/Masonic enterprise.

Friends, it is this unholy alliance that rules our world. Satan–the “god of this world”–runs the show, and his human minions waste no opportunity to glorify him in every facet of their lives.

Look and see.

___________

First, we have the legendary music icon, Madonna. She is no stranger to the darkness.

(Here, we see her performing with horned demons on the far ends. In the left middle, we find her sporting a “new world order” (Novus Ordo Seclorum) jacket with the Egyptian pyramid and all-seeing eye (of Horus/Satan) on top. This is the same image we find on the dollar bill, of course. Finally, the middle-right image shows the 666 hand-sign while she also covers her eye in homage to the one-eyed god.)

Next up, Cardi B puts the Satanic/Masonic connection together for us beautifully.

(On the left, Cardi wears the checkboard pattern that shows up in nearly every Masonic lodge across the earth. This symbolizes that existence is made up of good and evil intermingled (and essentially inseparable). Yahweh is a god, but Lucifer is the true lord in Masonic teaching. She also shows the devil horns in the middle picture, and then pays homage to the one-eyed God on the right.)

Tom Hanks, who is often believed to be one of the “good guys” in Hollywood (hah!), displays his allegiance to Satan in these images.

(On the left, we have the double 666 hand-signs. The right is another Masonic “Hidden Hand” gesture, as displayed right beside Hanks.)

Next up for your viewing pleasure is a personal favorite: Katy Perry. Observe her hideous yet unmistakable fashion selections. Also, be aware that she has openly confessed to selling her soul to Satan.

(These images do all the talking: endless worship of the all-seeing eye of Horus (really, Satan).)

Fortunately, all this is a relatively new phenomenon. It’s not as though music and films stars have always been required to kneel before the dark lord. Oh, wait . . .

As far back as the 50s and 60s, Marilyn Monroe knew what it took to be in the spotlight.

(Yes, Norma Jeane understood that a little adoration of the one-eyed god can go a long way.)

Another 60s icon, Paul McCartney, was fully aware of the requirements for fame and stardom.

(In both pictures, McCartney emphasizes one eye: a favorite of Satanic followers of all stripes.)

In the same era, Bob Dylan now reveals the one-eyed god that he serves. This is a man, mind you, that has also openly confessed to selling his soul to Satan. Further, I have exposed him and others on this video in detail.

(On the left, we see Dylan doing the “Hidden Hand” of Freemasonry, also known as the Sign of the Master of the Second Veil (shown above with Tom Hanks). The middle image reveals the double 666 hand-sign around the eyes, and the right is your standard emphasis on one eye.)

Okay, maybe our favorite stars have always been under Satan’s wing. But at least we have a lot of famous “Christian” musicians who are on the right side of things. You know, there are god-fearing folks like Skillet’s John Cooper.

(Observe the double-devil horns (top left), which is passed under the guise of “rock and roll” among global elites. Next to that, we see the Masonic black and white striped tie. The lower right corner reveals Cooper’s lightning bolt tattoo, known across the board in the industry as a symbol of Satan (Lk. 10:18). Finally, the bottom left was thrown in because, well, that just really screams “Christian musician!”. The world is so fooled, friends.)

Alas, it’s not all bad news. We do have global leaders who are fighting for truth, freedom, and all the “little people” of the world. Thankfully, they are not sold out to the one-eyed god like the rest of those on top. Look no farther than Elon Musk to see this point.

There is one Elon Musk in all his glory! But what’s that on his Halloween costume? Let’s take a closer look.

(Here, we see the Baphomet head–a staple of the Satanic cult–with nothing other than an upside-down cross in the center of it. It doesn’t get more explicitly evil than this.)

I am fully aware of how many people among us adore Elon Musk and consider him a freedom fighter. If you need more convincing that he is simply another cog in Satan’s dark machine, then please see my article here that goes deeper into Musk.

This is just a small sampling of those you will find in Satan’s camp, but it proves the larger point: everyone who is really anyone in music, film, industry, politics, and what have you, are virtually all part of the Masonic/Satanic enterprise. It’s one big, demonic family . . .

There can be no doubt about this harsh reality. The world is not what you think it is, and it’s not run by who you think runs it.

As I said earlier, Satan is the “god of this world” and he runs the show. Through his global church of Freemasonry, he controls the world’s stage and all its major players like the evil puppeteer that he is.

Call this either your entrance into this fact or your latest reminder. Either way, understand that this world is truly evil and that the only way out of its clutches is to hide ourselves in Jesus Christ.

Satan and his human pawns run this world, but they can keep it.

“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?” (Mk. 8:36)

[To fully understand the Satanic System that is being constructed before us, see my video and book, System of the Beast.]

Though most are surprised by the recent events in our economy, they were startlingly predictable. In fact, those with their ears to the ground knew this was coming since early into 2020.

Just in the last couple weeks, more bad news emerged in the banking industry. Numerous regional banks experienced a total collapse. Among them was PacWest, Western Alliance, and Zions. In just the last several days, PacWest slumped just over 50% while Western Alliance lost 38%.

This comes on the heels, mind you, of several major bank collapses. In March 2023, Silvergate and Signature Banks failed. The much larger Silicon Valley Bank also collapsed, leaving a disaster in its wake and requiring the government to perform another “not a bailout” bailout.

Fear rightfully swirls in the minds of concerned citizens, as the days of having unbridled access to our own funds are clearly coming to an end.

I wish I could say there was better news when we look at food prices, but not so much. A recent GAO—U.S. Government Accountability Office—article explains where we have recently been:

“Last year, U.S. consumers saw the largest annual increase in food prices since the 1980s. While food prices generally increased about 2% in prior years, they increased about 11% from 2021 to 2022. Inflation contributed to the increase. But there were other factors—like global disruptions to the food supply chain—that may have had a greater impact. And not everyone felt this increase the same way.”

The article continues later with some more interesting information about the cause of the insanity:

“But there were some unique challenges in 2022 that may have contributed to the double-digit increase in food prices. For example, COVID-19 caused disruptions across the food supply chain.  As U.S. households shifted away from full-service restaurant meals, they purchased more food at grocery stores. There were slowdowns in production at meat processing plants when workers became sick and plants shut down. Similarly, transportation of food was bottlenecked when truck drivers got sick. The war in Ukraine also disrupted the global supply of agricultural commodities—such as wheat, corn, sunflower oil, and fertilizer. This reduction in supply, coupled with a U.S. drought, caused American consumers to see wheat prices increase.”

COVID-19  . . . slowdowns in production . . . plant shut downs . . . did I mention COVID-19?

However, anyone who has been to the grocery store in the last six months or so doesn’t need any fancy explanations or data; the sticker shock of going to the store, alone, is harsh enough to jolt even those of significant means.

Prices keep getting bigger and servings smaller. Even a quick stop to “grab a few things” leaves one about $75 lighter in the wallet. Personally, I am left wondering every time I leave the store: “what on earth did I get that cost so much?”

Yes, friends, it’s a mess out there. Banks are imploding, food prices are soaring while shortages ensue, and inflation is wreaking havoc on the average man and woman. This is undeniable, and here’s the painful truth: it’s not going to improve in the long term.

How do I know that? Well, it’s simple—they have told us that it won’t for years now.

When I say “they,” I of course mean the global elites. You know, the kind of people that run the Central Banking Cabal. The kind of people who meet in Davos annually to plan our lives. The kind who gameplan global pandemic events just months before they occur in real life. Those who have books prepared about said pandemic events before they even take place, and who have “vaccines” ready to roll out just two days after the release of a virus’ genome.

These are the kind of people who fill our governmental offices with their puppets, while offering the illusion that we have a say in such things. I am referring to those who make up the Freemasonry enterprise, providing us with our favorite actors, politicians, world leaders, athletes, and everything else of importance.

You know, “they.”

While the world grows darker, living conditions worsen, and our rights and freedoms disappear with each passing day, remember that they told us it would happen.

Remember all the globalists talking about the “Great Reset” with the release of COVID-19? 2030 would be the year that the Great Reset would be fully accomplished, and we were already living in a “New Normal.” We had to “Build Back Better” from the pandemic. Everything would be forever changed, for reasons that normal people could never comprehend.

As Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, proudly proclaimed: “This pandemic has offered us an opportunity for a reset.”

Klaus Scwhab, the founder of the Word Econic Forum, tied the Build Back Better campaign and the Great Reset together for us: “It’s a big effort to—some would say to build back better—we would say to really have great reset.”

Similar things were said everywhere and by all of the global “elites.” They were absolutely transparent and boastful about their plans for the world, and that COVID-19 would be the driving force behind it.

But why did a virus that had a lower mortality rate than the seasonal flu—and one that overwhelmingly claimed those who had surpassed normal life expectancy—need to change the world forever?

Don’t ask questions! It simply needed to.

As mentioned earlier, some people even wrote books claiming exactly that: the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated global disruptions and a Great Reset of the world’s economy. Moreover, people like Bill Gates, Joe Biden, Anthony Fauci (remember him?), and their demonic cronies have continued to tell us that we will have another pandemic. Yes, one in the form of the “other” great pandemic—COVID-19.

We are not done with anything . . . anything.

What I am saying, friends, is that everything you are seeing around you is happening by design. As I detailed in my video and book, System of the Beast, COVID-19 was the catalyst to energize their master plan. We are now seeing the long-term effects of this plan play out in front of us. I even made the case—which I stand by—that COVID-19 was the Great Lie that swept across the entire world.

When you close the world’s economy, shelter in place, lock people down, and destroy the supply chain on a global scale, then you are preparing the world for both immediate and long-term destruction. They knew this, while most people denied it. “Nah . . . it couldn’t be!”

Well, it is. The banking situation is part of the plan to move toward totally digital currencies. Each of us will someday (soon) need to play by the rules of the Beast’s System to function in the world. The food crises are connected, obviously. You cannot tank the banking system and the overall economy without them. You also cannot make people dependent upon the government and the emerging monetary system without them.

All of this is necessary for control. If you want to bank, eat, and live in this world, you will have to do it by their rules. For example, you don’t want a mystery “vaccine” for the next mega-virus? Too bad: I guess your social credit score just dropped through the floor!

This may seem over the top to some, but it’s the same message many of us have been preaching for several years now. It’s also the reality that continues to emerge around us, in every way previously mentioned. As it was with the pandemic and the Killer Jabs produced to accelerate it, only those with eyes to see and ears to hear will understand.

This is the world “they” promised us. Are you surprised to see they meant it?
