Stranger than Fiction, Truth in Essence In the year 2030, the world economy crashed and millions of lives tumbled down. Then violence and crime rose as never before. Murders, violent crimes, and rapes were rampant, robbery on the rampage.
Terrorism seeped through the woodwork insidiously and arose like a demon from under the ground that people walked on, massacring hundreds and thousands. No one knew when it could strike. No one knew who was a terrorist among him or her and no one could control it.
The world stood horrified, as bodies of thousands lay unburied thousands human lay in lands with vultures souring over them, victims of bomb planted all over.
Sadness and fear hung heavily in the air. The poorer sections went hungry, starving for food and money had no value because commodities were scarce. The wealthy of the land could no longer afford luxuries like exotic traveling, holidays, new houses, new cars or beautiful designer clothes and jewels. While the super rich remained stagnantly rich, poverty grew like a cruel giant hungrily dragging the poor deeper into poverty, walking on the thin ice of the land of nothings, which could crack any day taking them to their sea of death.
Trade and commerce was nearly nil and while empires were shattered and food items scarce, crops did not grow readily and the world was barren and brown.
Around this time, another strange phenomena happened all over the world, millions of people disappeared either in day or night, which ever part of the world they were in. No one had any idea what happened to them and there was mass hysteria, weeping and wailing.
The news reporters declared it was a cosmic conspiracy. They said that some country secretly had used some sort of machines that would draw people like magnets and kidnap them. However, none could find a grain of proof in those claims or even a hint where they were hiding those millions who had disappeared off the face of the Earth.
China, Russia and the Middle East became thick pals, while America and Britain faded away as world powers. Ten nations, called the ten horns joined together as a force in the world. No one knew their sinister dark operations behind the scenes, they pretended to be for peace and love for the world, but really were on an agenda to control the world, paving the way unknowingly for for one who would also hold them in chains too, one day.
The Green Revolution: Over the months, some hope arose after months of sorrowing. European agriculturalists rose, claiming that they had discovered a new technology that would produce a green harvest all over the world, which was free for the masses.
The world leaders were interested. Many rich business entrepreneurs joined hands to help in this endeavor and governments arose in help. Many rich Christian business men who did not disappear in the mass disappearance joined in this massive movement called “Save the World” a noble grand endeavor. Over the months, the technology appeared to be working. Where soil was barren and dead, with new fertilizers and harmless ingredients planted in soil all over the earth, the soil started to replenish and grow green. It was an exciting green and golden harvest.
The world chorus was “Save the World!” Peace! Peace!, Peace!
But the terrorists were intent on destroying anything good in the world. The terrorists were under a delusion that the world had to be destroyed in order to bring in a new world, which would be solely for them, the Golden Utopia. But they had no idea they did not have the power to do it. In fact, only One could do it and He was not of the earth and His method was exactly opposite to what the terrorists were doing.
The Rise of a Powerful Man Then, one of the wealthiest men in the world arose. He came from one of the nations of the ten horns. He offered a solution to them, world peace. He said, “Let us join hands and build a One World Government with one currency. In this way, we can control and destroy this menace of terrorism that is threatening our growth and the riots all over the world can be curbed, and our economy will bloom.” He then said strongly “United we stand, divided we fall!”
He was of Middle Eastern descent. He was handsome and had a deep powerful calm voice. Every word he spoke resounded with power and authority. As he spoke, it made sense and the world leaders joined hands. Many nations united as this system promised great wealth in their economies. They had all been badly frightened by the level of poverty and misery the world had sunken too, and were afraid it would return in the future if they did not help each other and work as one. The world was looking for a superman and they found one in Mr. Damone.
Over time, with his influence and power, he ruled nearly everything that happened in the One World Government, which consisted of ten nations. With his promise of peace, through his power, only he was able to eliminate terrorism from the face of the earth. Everyone was baffled of how he did it. Overnight, there was mass murdering of every terrorist with all their links, but no one saw it happening and who did it. It was impossible to do this collectively, which was why it was called the Great Mystery on the earth. No one dared to question Mr. Damone. He claimed he would do it, and he did it. It frightened the world leaders and all powerful men of the world that he could do something that no government in the world was able to do, and without their help too.
His presence was hypnotic. They saw almost a translucent glow to his skin and sometimes seemed to see light coming out of him. TV channels hailed him as The God Man, and Man of the Ages. He brought a reign of peace into the world that it had never been seen before. Prosperity reigned and the people were happy with all the new technology and developments that evolved very fast. The voices of dissent were muzzled, the media was controlled or silenced. Mr. Damone only wanted positive reports of his rule. Bold journalists mysteriously disappeared and no one dared to ask where they were gone.
In the League of Nations, when the nations met, this man called Mr. Demone was highly respected. Whenever he spoke, all the leaders listened and thought his suggestions were astounding. Some months later, he ordered the rebuilding of the temple on the great mountain. No member dared to oppose any suggestion he made. The temple was location on the mountain in the old city of Jerusalem.
As the temple was being rebuilt and finally finished in its splendor, the nation leaders began to feel he was becoming too powerful for them. He removed their control over everything and soon they found they could not make any decisions without consulting him. They conspired together to get him murdered as Mr. Damone was growing into gigantic proportions beyond the periphery of mankind.
The Meeting in the Woods One evening, Mr. Damone was being driven in his SSC Tuatara car through dark woods on a secret meeting set up by one of the leaders. Then something bizarre occurred, as Mr. Damone got out of his car to meet one of the leaders near a wood, a sniper hiding in the bushes shot him in the head and killed him immediately!
The other leaders at that venue rejoiced. Mr. Damane the devil was finally dead, assassinated with a bullet to his head.
This news made big headlines as the world grieved for the greatest ruler ever, people aghast and flabbergasted. They wept, crying that a great glory had been removed. The funeral service was telecast on television and the world watched weeping.
Then, something strange happened at the funeral, before the eyes of all the ten nation leaders who were pretending to mourn for him, he sat up. Everyone screamed with fear. Then, they all witnessed something far more eerie. They saw a shadowy figure of a great big dragon enter Mr. Damone. This weird phenomena was witnessed all over the world who watched stunned as he came back to life with new power. He was now invincible with supernatural powers, unstoppable and uncontrollable.
The Shadow
After he had resurrected, he had supernatural powers and people all over the world started worshiping him. Another figure suddenly appeared beside Mr. Damone and started to help him. The world called him “The Shadow” because no one knew who he was or where he came. The Shadow had great power. He ordered fire to come down from heaven, and before the eyes of the startled world, on television, fire came down. This person did several miracles. He ordered Mr. Demone’s statue to be built, as Mr. Damone was one who died and came to life again. He gave Mr. Damone power to slay and kill all who apposed these new happenings. Also, Mr. Damone under the power of The Shadow forced everyone great and small, poor and rich to receive a mark on his forehead or right hand to buy or sell.
Mr. Damone went and sat on the throne of the temple in Jerusalem and declared that he was god. The masses revered him as god, even as he blasphemed God in Heaven and screamed evil blasphemy against God.
The world fell under great delusion, believing both The Shadow and Mr. Damone were saviors of the world.
The Shadow and Mr. Damone knew that many Christians all over the world were refusing to worship his statues because they had to worship only God. Mr. Demone screamed in rage, “Kill these useless Christians and others who are not worshipping me. They were always the detriments to growth and prosperity.”
With that order, there was a massive manhunt for the Christians. They were to be guillotined, a primitive method that The Shadow and Mr. Demone devised as a frightening way to die for those who defied them.
At the same time, many people during this era started to believe Christ was the Messiah and became believers of Christ. During this time, God provided a hiding place for many who believed in Him and worshipped Him. They fled to the hills and mountains and hid in caves, managing to take big supplies of food. God hid them from being hunted down and shielded them from death. However, many thousands were hunted out to the guillotine.
Awaiting Death As many frightened Christians were awaiting the guillotine in huge rooms, a Pastor John was among them in one of the rooms comforted them all saying, “Friends, do not be afraid, we will be in a better world than this very soon. We are the ones left behind.”
“What do you mean?” asked Tanya, one of the girls in the room.
“Where you a strong believer of the Bible and of Christ before this? asked Pastor John.
All the people in the room shook their heads saying “No!, but now we believe!”
“Exactly” said Pastor John, and he went on to quote large portions of the Bible. Many who did not believe will now believe in Christ, and God has hidden many of them to safety for the remainder of this man’s three and a half reign. But let me tell you, for the millions that disappeared before all this happened were Christians who were waiting for Christ, lived their lives for Him, so He took them away to prevent them from experiencing these horrors. “1 Thessalonians 4:17, when the “dead in Christ” and ” when the “dead in Christ” and “we who are alive and remain” will be “caught up in the clouds” to meet “the Lord in the air”
But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they did not know until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Then two men will be in the field; one is taken and one is left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one is taken and one is left.”
“Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the householder had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
Pastor John went on to say, “These verses refer to Christ who takes away His Church, before the tribulation horror, which is what is happening now. The ones in the Church who believed and were ready.
The ones who worship Mr. Damone and The Shadow today will not see heaven: Revelation 13:8-9 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Tanya asked Pastor John slowly, “So this is the Anti-Christ, Mr. Damone?”
Pastor John replied, “And about this man, Mr. Damone, you might be knowing all that too is in the Bible prophecies. The one who promises world peace is in fact the anti Christ, because in working towards unity, he will eventually take over and overthrow all other governments. It is coming true today, a day no one thought we would see, we thought this referred to something allegorical, something that was not literal, some of us thought it already happened. However, we should have seen the signs of world events; we were leading up to a One World Government. We all wanted a green revolution, we all wanted progress and change, but we did not see where this was all leading.”
Many times, the world thought someone was the anti-Christ, but beware only of the one who tries to rebuild the temple of the Jews.” Pastor John then quoted the Bible:
2 Thessalonians 2:1-32 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. 13 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits[b] to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. 14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings[c]we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. 16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.” After listening to that reading from the Bible, they spent the day praying together and singing songs. They would be beheaded in the guillotine the next day. They kept singing songs together that washed away the fear and filled them with peace and joy.
The next morning, early at dawn, thousands of Christians were taken to their death in the guillotines. Many died smiling. Some cried out “Jesus!” just before they died. Some cried out “Heavenly Music!” Some seemed to see angels. Their passing was a celebration. Clearly just before they died, they saw something wonderful.
The men conducting the guillotine were puzzled and one of them wanted to become a Christian. He was stunned that people could see Jesus.
The television broadcasting the news simply reported the mass deaths. No one reported the joy the Christians had just before dying. The people listening to the news thought the Christians did not have a powerful God. Their God did not rescue them and they were killed mercilessly. They did not want to have anything to do with the God of the Christians. He was too weak, unlike Mr. Damone and The Shadow, now that was real power manifest on earth with wealth and prosperity and peace, something the God of the Christians never was able to do.
As many, many believers perished, did they believe in vain? Did God not rescue them? During the persecutions, the Jews and Arabs will actually unite! It is given in the Bible and they will follow God wholeheartedly and believe in Christ. Other nations too will start to believe, like India and many others who were resistant. The Spirit of God will start to work in hearts. This will be the fourth revival of the world!
The truth is recorded in the Bible in the Books of Revelation and Daniel:
After seven long years of the rule of the anti-Christ, Christ will return from the Heavens in great shining clouds of glory before the world. He will expose the anti-Christ as an impostor and deceiver of the devil himself. Christ will expose The New World Order as in reality is a Luciferian Order aimed at the worship of Satan himself. The entire purpose of the New World Order is to bring Lucifer down to earth and enforce worldwide worship of him as god and Satan’s right hand man on Earth whom the Bible calls the False Prophet.
Second Coming—The place of His going will be the place of His coming. Just as Zechariah predicted the first coming of the Messiah—who appeared on the Mount of Olives—so the prophet foresaw the Second Coming of Christ whose “feet will stand on the Mount of Olives” and the Mount of Olives will split into two. (situated in Jerusalem) (Zech. 14:1-4, 9).
Then Christ will fight a great war called the Battle of Armageddon where Christ will overthrow the reign of the anti-Christ. The anti-Christ will be thrown into the Lake of the Fire, reserved for him, along with demons, the devil and all followers of the Devil along with all evil.
A new Heaven and a new Earth will be created, and Christ will rule. This was a golden world, surpassing even the days of Adam and Eve before the fall. This was the original Earth that God had made with the Garden of Eden, his original plan for mankind which was fouled by The Fall of Mankind due to disobedience.
Christ bought back this New Earth with His sacrifice on the Cross, dying for all the sins of Mankind, so whoever will believe and receive His Gift of Eternal Life will not only inherit eternal life, but dwell in the New Earth. The city of Heaven will come down on Earth and Man will live there. People will call it Eden Regained. The original plan of God for Mankind will be fulfilled in this. No wars, no death, no sorrow, no pain and evil will be banished forever.
This Kingdom surpasses the New World Order of Man and Satan.
All the glory, power, wealth and fame that a human may attain in this life is but dust in the light of eternity and that too will pass away, but the New Heaven and the New Earth can never be destroyed and it is the will of God for every human being on Earth to be part of this. However, they need to turn to the one and believe on Him who has the power to destroy death and evil. He is the only defeater of evil in the Heavens and Earth. All authority has been given to Him. He is the Living Word, The Bread of Life. And the Way, The Truth and the Life and the Light of the World. No Man can come to the Father, but by Christ.
All this is given in Revelation 19, 20, and 21 and Daniel 7, 8 and 12; Matthew 24 and Mark 13:
We are already seeing this moving in this direction, China, Russia and the Middle East are becoming closer, while America and Britain are fading away as world powers. Terrorism as never before, the offer of world peace is always a part of the anti-Christ plan moving to full control of the nations, one-world, moving towards one government and the talk of unity of religion to one religion, and finally a one world leader to come! And well, see what happens after that if we are there.
