Revelation 13:15   He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

When the above passage is read from a perspective motivated by fear, you think the worst.  The carnal man is afraid to die and will do anything to prevent it.  In the book of Romans, Paul wrote in chapter 8:

13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

It is a good thing to die to the flesh.  Man does not understand that particular Truth because it is counterintuitive to his carnal nature.  We must die to live?  “It does not compute!”  The mind is not creative and is a harsh taskmaster when in control but is a servant when used properly.  It is binary in nature and understands “up and down”, “black and white”, “in and out”.  It does not understand Spiritual things.  Your spirit comprehends the things of GOD and thus if you are blinded, you will try to understand spiritual Truths with the mind and it won’t produce life.  This is why we must quiet our mind in order to hear in the Spirit.  With this understanding, let’s read what Paul said earlier in the chapter:

5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

As we are moved out of men’s organizations where the “created” is worshipped, we begin the death process.  We begin to see the futility in those structures designed to suck the life and resources from those who support it.  Complex and intricate customs and traditions do not move FATHER or HIS Spirit.  In Matthew 23, Jesus spoke to those in charge of the “church”:

13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.

14  Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.”

FATHER will not empower those who misuse their position for personal gain of any type.  HE is looking for those who desire to serve mankind in Love.  They love not their own life but place it in full subjection to HIS Will.  My prayer is that I see people just as FATHER sees them.  Once I am fully matured as a Son, HIS Love will emanate through me just as it did from Jesus and HIS power to heal and restore will go forth and glorify HIM, not man.  When the fullness of this time comes forth, men will no longer look to technology to solve their problems, they will no longer look to some man-made government system to provide for their needs, instead they will look up toward Heaven and seek THE ONE Who opens the windows of Heaven to supply all our need according to the riches in Christ.

Jesus paved the way to life by overcoming death.  He opened the door for us to enter through and be fully reconciled to FATHER.  No beast or man’s system can keep us from HIS Love and Presence.  We do not have to travel to a local church building in order to have a relationship with FATHER.  There is nothing wrong with gathering together for fellowship and to hear testimonies of HIS goodness and mercy.  Additionally, there is nothing wrong with serving the community.  We simply must not become servants to a structure or man-made organizations.  Structure should serve man, not the opposite.  A house is supposed to serve as a shelter and resting place but when you overindulge and buy beyond your means, the house places you in servitude by the excessive loan and expensive maintenance.  You must now work to support structure and you have little time to spend with HIM.  After the excitement wears off, you ask yourself: What was I thinking when I bought this?  The carnal man uses lust to keep us in subjection.  Structure becomes more complex and demands more attention away from your personal relationship with FATHER.

Let us expose the carnal things that would hinder our full and complete maturity as Sons.  Let us die to those things which become weights to us and let us shed them as we ascend to the fullness of our individual callings.  The beast will have no place in us and we will not take its mark!

Revelation 13:13   He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.

14   And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.

15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

At a personal level, the beast in the earth is the soul of the carnal man, governed by human nature and not the Spirit of FATHER.  Do not think FATHER will fail to minister grace and mercy because the instrument HE uses is carnal.  If HE waited until men were spotless in order to use them, we would be still waiting.  Many evangelists in the last four decades saw many miracles in their meetings while they were privately walking after their lusts.  Their fleshly desires would move them to sin even after they saw great miracles of healing and restoration.  They would acquire many houses and exotic cars as their bank accounts grew and before long they were exposed in their sin.  Putting your trust in man rather than FATHER will create disappointment and frustration.  We must set our focus on the internal, not the external.

The purpose of the signs in the above passage is to convince people to follow the false prophet.  Beware of those who constantly use signs as confirmation that they are “anointed”.  When you rely on signs as your primary source of confirmation you will surely fall into the ditch.  I am not against signs per se, but only FATHER should tell you when they are relevant.  With seven billion people on earth, there are innumerable signs everywhere and at all times of the day.  Signs can cause you to take your focus away from hearing FATHER’S Voice, beware!

Earth dwellers are carnal Christians.  Their priorities are earth-based and they are fully content to place all of their priorities and interests in the temporal realm.  They become subject to structure and are content to sit in the pew each Sunday morning and have the pastor convey any revelation he received in the last week.  They enjoy being entertained by the music service attempting to be fully spiritual as the singers and musicians rock the sanctuary with loud, repetitive songs.  How many times must we sing the same chorus before the Spirit will move?  The traditions of men are alive and well in sanctuaries throughout the western world.

The beast is able to deceive those who dwell on the earth.  Jesus was asked about the end of the age and He said in Mark, chapter 13:

21   “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it.

22   For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23 But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.

If there is anything we must be careful about in these times it is being deceived by men.  Jesus made it quite clear that virtually everyone would be subject to great deception with one exception- the elect.  Consider the brevity of that statement.  The current system we live in is built around deception and there is great pressure to accept it as a firm reality, not subject to change, revision, or removal.  Advancements in technology in the last 100 years would leave the average person to believe that it will continue as is. 

It would appear that Love has no place in the forward movement of the current system.  Mankind has become complacent and is being deceived by moving the focus away from the Spiritual and gazing on the structure-based systems in place.  The complexities of the current systems are moving toward mass failure and no man can stop its demise.  The simple challenge of building a house with a deck of cards best describes the current path of man.  The carnal nature of man always moves toward destruction resulting in death.  Fortunately the elect have been reserved by the Love of FATHER to provide the way out.

Those who dwell on the earth make an image of the beast.  The beast represents an organization created by man to take the place of a direct relationship with FATHER.  Men worship “the created”, not THE CREATOR.  My wife and I have been able to travel abroad and the center of many cities, towns, and villages is the church building.  Ornate facades and gold-leafed altars project the perception of holiness and demand your reverence.  Men and women have poured hard earned resources as they have been deceived into supporting the beast’s image.  FATHER cannot be found in man’s structure and HE is not obligated to show up on Sunday morning to tingle your spine.  Instead, look for HIM in the silence of your prayer closet where there are no distractions.  Big pipe organs will not summon HIM to come forth, a grateful, contrite heart will.

FATHER will occupy your temple by HIS Spirit… how simple!  No longer give into the deception of the beast and support an external edifice that would have you believe HE is residing there.  Men will build large buildings to support their large egos.  Jesus never built a physical building but went out to where the people lived and ministered life to them.  We are to minister Love to those we encounter on a daily basis.  Our ministry is not confined to four walls, it is the entire earth.  Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done ON EARTH as it is in Heaven.  Amen!

Servias Ministries will miss our Beloved Brother and Board Member, Dr. Vincent J. Speckhart.

More so, I will miss Vince on a personal level.  He spent his life in service to others and there are countless recipients of His healing ministry.  I am convinced his love for others is why FATHER empowered him as a “healer” in the medical field rather than a “treater” of symptoms.  I personally received must insight from Vince over the last 15 years.  We spoke often and it was a privilege to be his friend.  His family will miss him greatly but we know he is with FATHER.  We are all better for knowing him!

Today, Valentine’s Day, celebrates Love in many parts of the world.  However, we should be celebrating the Love of Our Heavenly Father everyday for it is HIS Love that brought all of us onto this earth for the richness of experience and to fulfill our individual unique callings.  I have written about the fact that HE knew us before we were formed in the womb and that HIS Divine Intent of Love is the motivation for us to be here now at this point in history.

Mankind is quickly coming to a place where there will be a major change of consciousness.  With wars and rumors of war being broadcasted on a daily basis, we all can attest to Jesus’ statements about the end of the age:

Matthew 24:6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

His Words are surely speaking of these times now.  The overall problem with mankind is the absence of Love in their hearts for others.  Men want to exploit because they believe in scarcity while at the same time the universe is in an ever-expanding mode.  There is no true scarcity, it is only in the minds and hearts of men who are blinded from the Truth.

As those who follow this blog site know, I have been writing on the last book of the Bible: The Revelation of Jesus Christ.  The reality of Love is found locked away in the mysteries and Spiritual depictions in this Fifth Gospel of Good News.  Countless church prophets, evangelists, pastors, apostles, and teachers have scared the flock with dire predictions of burning in hell for eternity with global cataclysms happening all around us as the end comes.  Only a small minority of the world’s population escape the judgment based on their teaching.  I say: nonsense!  Why?  Love will prevail just as it did 2,000 years ago at the physical cross.

The last book of the Bible was placed there for a reason, and it was not to literally scare the “hell” out of men.  Instead, it describes our fulfillment of HIS Divine Plan and the removal of all that is false and lawless as the revelation of Love is fulfilled in HIS Sons.  In the past each of us has taken on temporary identities defined by the structure around us.  We lived our lives based on lies and judgment with false perceptions of Truth.  Jesus came as the Standard of Truth, empowered by Our Heavenly Father and it turned the course of history.   The Sons are now being raised up to do the very same thing at this point in history as it has been laid out and revealed in this Fifth Gospel, hidden in front of everyone.  How appropriate!

This last book is not subject to man’s interpretation and is not primarily about the political events of the world.  This does not mean that those events are independent of this final book but instead they will correlate with manifestations paralleling and accompanying the Spiritual events contained therein.  Men want to focus on the outward whereas the Sons are focusing on the inward where the true action is.  As Jesus said:

Luke 17:20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation;

21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

And as Paul said in 1 Corinthians 6:19:

“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

Mankind is quickly moving toward “critical mass” in its destiny with Love.  All that is false must be exposed before mankind can be fully restored to Our Heavenly Father.  Man’s reliance on structure and technology will give way to the revelation of Love.  As we move closer to this final confrontation with lies and deception, there will surely be pain experienced among many.  Those who put their trust in “things” will throw a fit just as a child whose toy was taken away.  Those who trusted in men, systems, technology, money, and other temporal things will have fear grip their hearts until they are able to see the Love of the FATHER and HIS Divine Plan.  Afterward, their tears will be wiped away.

We must approach this destiny with Love rather than fear. As we do, any pain we suffer will not affect us in the same manner for we know FATHER’S Love is sufficient to see us through whatever change takes place.  How it unfolds is critical and inevitable for the Kingdom of GOD to come forth on earth.  No longer will men be disconnected from FATHER and HIS Love.  The worship of structure will cease and men will no longer be oppressed by structure, systems, or other men.  Enslavement will disappear but there may be a final retaliation of survival by those who want to maintain the current status quo.  But be assured, the collapse of the old will occur no matter what attempts to retain it are made.  In the end, all men will be blessed by HIS Love.

For the next several days, I will be out on a mission and have limited access to posting blogs.  I encourage you to spend quality time with FATHER.  HE is available 24/7.  I expect to post new blogs beginning on the day we celebrate Love.

In its simplest definition, Babel or Babylon = "confusion (by mixing)".  We must reconcile the fact the second beast was given miracles to do:

Revelation 13:13   He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.

14   And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was given to do in the sight of the beast.

Our Heavenly Father isn’t restricted to HIS Throne in the third Heaven.  HE can be found anywhere:

Psalm 139:

7 ​​Where can I go from Your Spirit?

​​Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8 ​​If I ascend into heaven, You are there;

​​If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

I once heard of a man who became an evangelist in order to make a living.  He had not received salvation himself but learned the Bible and developed a great method of preaching.  In his services many were saved.  Finally after hearing THE WORD for so long, he himself was saved.  Did his previous state keep the power of THE WORD from working in the hearts of people?  No.  Can healing occur in the midst of Babylon?  Yes.  Do miracles occur in the midst of a congregation led by a deceitful pastor?  Sure.  FATHER does not hold back HIS power to heal because the people are undeserving and blind.  Love heals in spite of their condition.  However, men will take a bow when miracles occur in order to further establish their derivative power.

On Pentecost weekend in 1996 I was in a meeting where positive ministry occurred by a young man who was deceiving the congregation by his apparent “anointing”.  He had an assistant who would direct him to the next person for “ministry”.  The heart of the recipient determined the blessing received, not the speaker.

There are many instances of miracles performed by men who did not represent FATHER but HE allowed them to operate as such.  A classic example is found in Exodus chapter 7:

11 But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

12 For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.

13 And Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, as the LORD had said.

The only way a magician’s rod could become a snake is if FATHER allowed it to happen… period.  HE will allow miracles to come forth as we are being tested and trained.  In the end, they all have a purpose that may not be understood at the time.  Aaron’s rod consuming the others is the point to be made here.  We must not let deceiving “great” signs be the determining factor in our path.  We must hear HIS Voice and take the path HE places us on.  The earth dwellers are deceived but we must not be.  FATHER allows us to see the abuse of power and authority in order that we will know what NOT to do.

Over the years, FATHER used me to give many “messages in Tongues” to the church.  Each and every message was interpreted in a proper manner.  I struggled with the carnal man as we all do but nonetheless on Sunday morning HE would use me as a willing vessel to bring forth a Word.  If HE waited until one of us was fully matured to empower us, a multitude of ministry opportunities would be missed.  An imperfect vessel can be used.  After all, an imperfect vessel must be matured, purged, cleansed, and transformed into perfection.

The beast will use miracles to increase its power and enslave people to its agenda.  FATHER’S Kingdom does not come by abuse of power.  It has Love as its foundation and power is given to those who have a heart for the betterment of people no matter what their race, creed, or color.  Love demands that no system be built to put people in a proverbial box and require them to constantly perform in the area of support, financially or otherwise.  We are called to be fruitful for the Kingdom and abuse of power will not bring forth that fruit.  FATHER will make sure of that.  Let us not perpetuate the abuse of power by sacrificing to the world’s various systems: political, religious, and/or economic for they are all facets of Mystery Babylon, the supreme abuser of power and source of complexity resulting in confusion.  Now is the time to see the abuse of power all around us.

The second beast of Revelation 13 is the false prophet whose job is to exalt the first beast with great signs and wonders.  The first beast appears to be “anointed” but in a false manner and would be labeled as a “false christ”.  A true prophet draws men toward Our Heavenly Father whereas a false prophet moves men away from HIM.  A prophet is one who speaks on behalf of another.  The term “false” does not necessarily mean that all is spoken is a lie.  A false prophecy can contain facts but has the wrong intent behind the words spoken thus the prophecy will deceive you.  This is why it is critical to focus on the Living Word and be led by THE SPIRIT.  You will not be deceived by false prophets.  As you dwell in your closet, your sensitivity to THE SPIRIT increases.  With this greater sensitivity you then read Scripture that take on deeper meaning to you, thus you grow and mature.  How many of us have read the same passage at different points in time and see greater Truths expressed that were missed in earlier studies?

A false prophet’s purpose is to influence your mind, will, and emotions.  A great sign seen by many is an emotional experience leading you to believe the one who disclosed it beforehand.  If I tell half of the readers that the stock market is going up tomorrow and the other half that it is going down during the same period, among one group I will be right and they will view me as being able to foretell the future.  How easily are men deceived!

Our FATHER is the GOD of Love.  If a minister preaches eternal damnation in hell, is he a false prophet?  For whom is he speaking?  If FATHER has a plan of reconciliation of all mankind, why does an evangelist use threats, intimidation, fear, and coercion to bring us up to the altar?  Is the evangelist a false prophet as well?  How many books have been written about Armageddon and evoked fear in the hearts of the readers?  Would those authors fall into the same category?

Love dispels falsehood and is not moved by fear promoted by the false prophet.  This second beast has an appearance as a lamb, a deception:

Revelation 13:11  Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.

He speaks like a dragon who promotes fear and intimidation by using threatening words.  Everything coming out of his mouth is deceptive in nature though he comes in sheep’s clothing.  The words of the false prophets are designed to put you in bondage and keep you submitted to its leading and direction.  You are told to stay under its covering of protection as though FATHER is unable to protect you HIMSELF.  You are belittled by the false prophet’s superior intelligence and you dare not challenge it.  You are deceived into believing the only way you can hear FATHER is through an intermediary who is “anointed” and called to be your overseer.  This goes contrary with Jesus’ own words:

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.

26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.

27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

30 I and My Father are one.”

You don’t need a man to be your intermediary, FATHER is fully available and accessible to each and every one of us.  The false prophet would lead you to believe otherwise.  Why do you think that so many have been removed from the local church and have been somewhat isolated from their teachings?  We have to be removed from the noise of the world’s influence to improve our hearing.  How many have attempted to make you feel guilty because you departed their “covering”?  Does FATHER’S Love condemn?  Moses had to be separated, Joseph had to be separated, Jesus had to be separated, thus you and I have to be separated in our final preparation.

The message of the false prophet is eternal damnation and destruction.  It is the exact opposite of FATHER’S Divine Intent of restoration.  The false prophet will use isolated Scripture references to convince the mind of this doctrine.  As a young man, I was taken in by this preaching assuming that the pastor would not lead me astray.  But later as I matured and grew in HIS Word, I came to realize that HIS Love would not allow 95% of mankind to be condemned to an eternal damnation.  I am no longer deceived by the false prophet nor will I allow any other message other than the Good News of FATHER determine my path.  The revelation of HIS Love is the key to finding this path and staying on it.

In contrast to the message of the false prophet, read carefully what Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 2:

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

This is exactly why we must dispel the notion that this final book, the Fifth Gospel, is one of bad news when in fact it exposes the hindrances to our maturing process.  It exposes the source of the deception that has kept mankind from being restored to FATHER.  The mysteries have been reserved for the initiated for the culmination of the return of Christ and the harvest of the entire planet.  The false prophet has been fully exposed!

Revelation 13:13  He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.

14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.

A prophet is one who is claimed to have been contacted by the supernatural or the divine, and to speak for them, serving as an intermediary with humanity, delivering this newfound knowledge from the supernatural entity to other people.  This second beast fulfills that role on behalf of the first beast.

This second beast is divisive in nature and thus promotes division among men.  Great signs are performed in order to deceive those who are immature in Christ as well as the rest of mankind.  This second beast causes men to worship the first beast under false pretenses hence the second beast functions as a false prophet.  Only the Sons will not be deceived.  Their faith in FATHER is immovable unlike those who view the great signs of the beast and are impacted by them.  James chapter 1 speaks of this problem:

6   But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

7   For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

8   he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Jesus also spoke of these signs being given to mankind when asked about the sign of His coming at the end of the age in Matthew 24.  He warned us about the deceptiveness of these signs and how the majority would be taken in by them with the exception of the elect (Sons):

23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it.

24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

25 See, I have told you beforehand.

The second beast relies on mankind being unstable and easily swayed.  They do not know FATHER, HIS Love, or HIS Power.  They rely on “self” which is a hard taskmaster.  False prophets among men have risen up who are submitted to the second beast’s intent to deceive all of mankind.  Only the standard of the Truth and THE SPIRIT can be used to discern who to believe in these times.  This second beast is specifically identified as the false prophet in later chapters of Revelation:

19:20   Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

20:10   The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

False prophets will use world events to be confirmations of their signs as though those signs are specifically tied to their prophecy.  How can you challenge their veracity?  The deception is notable and widespread just as we are warned that “great” signs will come forth.  We must not be misled by these false prophets and the only way to be assured that we are on the right path is to stick close to FATHER in these times.  We must no let the noise surrounding us drown out HIS Voice in our hearts.  Jesus warned us that men’s Love would grow cold during these times:

Matthew 24:11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold

Isn’t that the goal of the two beasts: to cause men to walk away from Love at the center of FATHER’S Character?  These two beasts are promoting lawlessness as I write at this very moment.  Perversion is replacing normality.  The moral compass of this nation as well as many others has been dashed against the rocks.  The greed of Wall Street causes scarcity among the masses which in turn causes men to become greedy for scarce resources as well.  It is spiraling out of control and only the Sons are able to arrest the current momentum of destruction and turn mankind away from certain destruction.  However, the world is not yet embracing the Ones who will bring forth the solution.

Over the years, I have received many “words” and visions from prophets, those who speak on behalf of FATHER.  These words and visions were needful in my maturing process both to encourage me and warn me.  Some were for my education and training as well.  But as I matured, I needed less intervention.  As I fully mature in the revelation of Love and can hear FATHER’S full Divine Intent, I need less intervention from an intermediary now as my sensitivity to HIS Voice has increased.  Given this understanding, now consider what Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 13: 

8   Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

When you hear FATHER’S Words clearly, you need no intermediary thus the need for prophecies, tongues and interpretation, knowledge, and any other lesser source is no longer necessary for you.  Thus the second beast known later to be a false prophet of of the first beast will have no impact on the Sons who are able to hear FATHER’S Voice and who have taken on HIS Nature.  This is one aspect of the jubilee contained in this final book of Good News!  The second beast’s great signs will not deceive you.

Revelation 13:11  Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.

12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.

Counterfeit means:  made in exact imitation of something valuable or important with the intention to deceive or defraud.   In the above passage, horns represent power and this power is made to look like the power of the lamb.  It is made to look like it is GOD-given and it is “like”  but not truly a lamb thus it is a deception.

The beasts in Revelation 13 represent systems, organizations, institutions, movements, and governments and they are all influenced by the spirit of antichrist.  They may have started out with good intentions but any revelation has been replaced with watered down tradition.  I am reminded that FATHER kept moving the children in the wilderness forty-one times before the final move into the Promised Land.  They were not to build permanent houses but instead were to follow the Presence of FATHER from place to place.  This speaks of being pliable as FATHER moves us to greater revelation.  Are you still hanging on to old manna that has gone stale?  We must move when FATHER moves for when HIS Glory departs, we too must depart.  Twenty-seven months ago, FATHER told us to begin a Bible Study Broadcast.  We covered the four books published by this Ministry.  For 102 broadcasts we remained faithful to HIS Word.  Now that phase is completed.  We must move on for there is no sense in having a broadcast without HIS anointing on it.  It would just be a social gathering under the pretense of imparting greater revelation.  Those 102 broadcasts represented a time of expansion but now we are in a time of compression in order that the next greater expansion may come forth.

How many organizations do you know of that have lost their purpose?  Are they still around simply to perpetuate their system and provide themselves jobs?  Has the original vision been lost?  The genuine is replaced with the counterfeit.  Isn’t fiat currency simply a counterfeit to gold-backed money?  How long will the system of fiat currency last?  Once the masses see that the fiat system is effectively counterfeit and has no true value, it will collapse.  Mystery Babylon relies on the perception of value represented by fiat currency to retain its power.  It is a huge Ponzi scheme destined to destroy the savings of the multitude.  It currently only has power and authority because it has been given or transferred this power by the masses.

1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.

2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;

3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?

4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?

The above passage speaks of the divisions of the carnal nature promoting separate organizations.  This is what the carnal man does.  On the other hand, Love unifies.  Paul reveals that spiritually immature people will be moved by their carnal nature and promote divisions which ultimately turn into organizations and finally into institutions.  As this occurs, competition arises to feed the ego, proclaiming to be better than the others and promoting further division.  This ultimately spirals down to submitting to the second beast who preys on the soulish realm of man and then men walk according to their soulish nature.  The result- organizations, systems, and governments, none of them fulfilling the true need of the people.  Got a problem?  Let’s enact another law!

How many more denominations will rise out of the second beast?  How many more governments will be formed being motivated by this second beast?  There is only one GOD and there need be only one government!  Why expend unnecessary energy forming a counterfeit?  Why not pursue FATHER and know that HE will intervene in your life and replace the counterfeit with the genuine.  Being religious is not being Christ-like.  Neither a robe nor a collar makes one spiritual.

Two horns are a counterfeit to the seven horns seen in the midst of the Throne in Heaven:

Revelation 5:6  And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

The number two refers to division whereas the number seven represents Spiritual maturity.  The second beast has divisive power and unity will not be found among those who follow after the beast.  Where there is division, it is life-draining for none will provide others with supply.  Scarcity is promoted as a way of life and competition for resources is encouraged, often resulting in war.

Being ‘like” a lamb denotes an outward presentation of being Christian.  This refers to being religious without the Love.  The Pharisees knew the Law but had no revelation of Love for the people.  They were interested in promoting their own agendas at the expense of the people.  Should we build another bigger building?  The lamb nature speaks of a meek, nonaggressive nature but the beast is like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.  On the outside there is an appearance of a non-threatening nature but on the inside there is a “take no prisoner” attitude and intent.  The beast is a counterfeit to the Truth.  This beast speaks like a dragon thus speaking forth great lies and deception.  It is no longer subtle like the serpent but now is spewing forth lies continuously.  It is consistently convincing us it has the answer that will fix the current system and it just needs a little more time and money.  The Love of the Truth is not in the mouths of those following the path of the beast.

On a personal level, we must not submit to the soulish carnal nature but instead focus on Christ and His Love.  Jesus is the Horn of our salvation as revealed in Luke 1:

67 Now his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:

​68 ​​“Blessed is the Lord God of Israel,

​​For He has visited and redeemed His people,

69 ​​And has raised up a horn of salvation for us

​​In the house of His servant David,

70 ​​As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets,

​​Who have been since the world began,

71 ​​That we should be saved from our enemies

​​And from the hand of all who hate us,

The beast is our enemy has his two horns represent derivative power obtained by deception.  The creative power of FATHER is what delivers and redeems us.  Let the water of HIS Word bring forth the good fruit to be harvested.  Without water the fruit will not mature and as I study this Fifth Gospel I can sense the growth occurring.  I am being strengthened as I dwell on HIS Word and HIS Love.  The process may seem slow at times but the maturing process must have patience associated with it.  We are being perfected as we are finally dispelling the religious views of this Fifth Gospel and are finally seeing HIS Love interspersed throughout these chapters.  HIS Plan has been enveloped in the mysteries contained therein and has been put in plain sight for men to overlook due to their carnal nature.  The Truth is obvious once you see it and the counterfeit path is easy to detect once you know the genuine.

The first beast came from the sea of humanity, then arose a second beast from the earth:

Revelation 13:11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.

12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

The “earth” represents the mind, will, and emotion (soul) whereas the “sea” represents the flesh.  The first beast arises out of our carnal nature and draws us down the path of death.  If the first beast isn’t enough to deal with, now the second beast comes onto the scene.  Both represent “anti-Christ” but neither are actually described in that fashion.  I have read many books, listened to many evangelists, and watched several programs describing the antichrist.  It is interesting to find that only the Beloved Disciple John mentions the term “Antichrist” in his epistles.  The term is not found elsewhere:

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.

21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

2 John 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

There you have it, the four times this term is mentioned in Scripture yet thousands of sermons have exalted this term to be “god-like”.  The term simply means “in opposition to Christ”.  In 1 John, the fourth chapter, we see where Love is explicitly attached to being born of FATHER and knowing FATHER:

1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

If the writer of this Epistle and also the book of Revelation makes such an emphatic statement about the importance of Love, we must not let the second beast convince us otherwise.  The mind wants to be in control by using logic to place our spirit into submission.  When this occurs we have difficulty in hearing FATHER.  The noise created by the mind and the external will drown out our ability to hear that “still small Voice”.

The antichrist is not a specific world leader although many of them have attempted to move our focus away from Jesus Christ and FATHER.  Many have exalted themselves above Christ but nonetheless they are not THE antichrist.  The antichrist is any spiritual attempt to redirect us away from Christ in any form or fashion.  The target includes your flesh and your mind.  I have seen men whose Love waxed cold and began to dilute the power of Christ in their thinking by using derivative logic as a basis of their position.  They are accessing the world’s wisdom, not FATHER’S.  I am amazed that men can’t even look up at the stars and planets and realize the flaws in their logic!  It is tragic to see those who once had Love in their hearts grow cold and submit to their earthly mind.  When men submit to worldly thinking of others they end up on the path toward destruction:

Isaiah 3:12  “​​As for My people, children (flesh) are their oppressors,

​​And women (soul) rule over them.

​​O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err,

​​And destroy the way of your paths.”

By allowing the mind to deceive you into believing the antichrist is some world leader, you will not deal with the true source of the problem… your soul!  Instead of being led by THE SPIRIT, you will be led by the soul- the mind, will, and emotions.  Your mind needs to serve you, not the reverse.  It is okay to build up your mind but not at the expense of your spirit.  This is why that the highly intelligent tend to have a difficult time in receiving Christ in their hearts.  Their logic convinces them otherwise.  We are not to be ignorant or uninformed of the devices and deception of the spirit of antichrist which motivates the second beast:.

1 Peter 1:13   Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

14  as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance;

15  but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

16  because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

If FATHER says we can be holy… then we can be holy.  There is nothing the second beast can do about that!
