The Rise Of The Greatest Evil

This is part IV in the series, Ride The Vine

Are We Living In The End Times?

This question has been a controversial topic of conversation among Christians since the beginning of the Church. It has been said that every generation has been sure that they will see the second coming of Jesus and so, the reasoning goes, this generation is no different. Indeed, there have been fluctuations in the rise and fall of civilizations throughout history. Eras like the one in which we are living have been seen before…or have they? If so, which era of history most closely mirrors the one in which we live? Are there things we have seen and are seeing that mark this era as different and unique when compared to other periods throughout history?

Some Notable Statistics About The 20th Century

There have been more Christian martyrs in the 20th century than in all of the history of the Christian Church combined:

33-1900 AD: 24,020,000
1900-2000 AD: 45,400,000

More people have been killed in wars, genocide, and political conflict in the 20th century than in any other century.

Natural disasters and weather instability are on the increase.

Israel once again became a nation in 1948. This has not occurred since the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and her temple in 70 AD. War in Israel has been unceasing since then. Many prophecies in the Bible concern Israel at the end of times.

The 20th century saw developments in technology which for the first time could threaten all of life as we know it.

These are just a few examples of events that set this century apart as unique. But are there events that make this century and the one we are currently in even more unique? I believe so, and will offer two major ones which readers may or may not be aware of.

Evil Unleashed In Fury

2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

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 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. 5 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 the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10 and in every sort of evil that 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.

There are many obvious ways that evil is running rampant these days. All one has to do is pick up a newspaper or turn on the news on TV or radio to see that. But there is a hideous thing being done now on a very sophisticated scale that has not been achieved to this degree ever in human history. There are many movies that talk about it, but most people don’t check into it to see the truth, nor do they understand the implications which it has for individuals and society as a whole.

What we are talking about here is the phenomenon of mind control. With the advent of the scientific pursuit of knowledge of psychology, human behavior, neurobiology, hypnosis, psychoactive drugs, combined with much research done on human beings in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, for example, the ability to achieve mind control on a highly sophisticated scale has become possible.

It is a well documented fact that the CIA and other U.S. government agencies did mind control research in the 1950s-1960s under the programs of ARTICHOKE, BLUEBIRD, and MKULTRA.

The official line from them concerning this is that the programs were failures and were discontinued a long time ago. But is this the truth? Is the government the only one who engages in mind control programming? The answer to that is simply, any group who desires to have total control over its members. The Illuminati is renowned in the “shadow community” as having and practicing the best programming techniques. They work alone, and in conjunction both with other groups as well as the U.S government.

Getting Personal

There are many articles and websites out there with great information about how mind control works, but maybe getting a little personal about how it is for the individual caught up in it will give readers a greater grasp on the reality of how it is to live it:

Jennifer awakens at 6 am on Wednesday. The alarm is not set until 7:30 am, however. She doesn’t need to get up until then to get her kids ready for school. She can’t go back to sleep however and so she gets up, goes to the kitchen to make coffee. She makes the coffee and then settles down on the couch to read until 7:30, when she had planned to get up. She reads about a paragraph, when inside her mind the switch occurs. Now Marcia is in control of the body. Jennifer knows nothing about this. Marcia gets up, goes over to the phone, and dials a phone number she has memorized, making sure she includes the three digit prefix which ensures that the call will not show up on call logs or bills. Someone answers and Marcia asks for “Fritz”. The person on the line replies, “Yes, this is Fritz.” Marcia says, “This is Marcia.” Fritz praises Marcia for calling saying, “Oh, yes, Marcia. What a wonderful girl! I was so looking forward to hearing your voice. You brighten my day! I know I can always count on you! Listen now. Kylie needs to be outside at noon for an important meeting. Can you make sure she gets the message?” Marcia replies, “Yes. I will give her the message.” “That’s my good girl. Now can you repeat to me what you will tell Kylie?” says Fritz. Marcia repeats the directions she is to relay to Kylie exactly back to Fritz and he replies, “Perfect, Marcia, as usual. You are wonderful. You may go.” Marcia hangs up the phone.

Jennifer is back on the couch continuing her book. She has no idea that she ever left that spot. At 7:30 am she gets her kids up and off to school. She checks her email and sends a few replies. She looks at her watch and notices that it is 10:30 am. “Wow, how time flies!” she thinks. “I better get dressed.” She goes to take a shower and dresses. She feels an urgency about getting ready and puts on makeup, but doesn’t know why. She assumes that she is just in a restless mood. At 11:30 am she is ready, for what she doesn’t know, but she feels a sense of accomplishment just the same. She feels a little tired and lies on the couch for a few minutes and closes her eyes. At 11: 55 she opens her eyes but now Kylie is in charge of the body. Jennifer is “asleep”.

Kylie goes outside and walks to the end of the driveway. She stands there watching for the red sedan. She sees it coming and waves her special wave. The sedan pulls over, and she gets in the backseat. There are two men in the car. The passenger turns around and asks her for her name, “I’m Kylie. Didn’t you know?” “Just checking.” Says the man. “Welcome, Kylie.” He smiles warmly, and holds out a lollipop. Kylie thanks him and eagerly takes the lollipop. She opens it and enjoys it, not paying attention to where the car is going.

The car arrives at the church. Kylie gets out and goes inside through the side door that enters on the landing between two stairwells going down to the church basement. She goes down the stairs as always, and Jim meets her. He greets her, and tells her what a good job she has done. She is pleased with herself. As he tells her this he places his hand behind her neck and squeezes just under her skull. Suddenly, Kylie is gone, and Diana is standing there in control of the body now. Her voice is more adult sounding now, as she says hello to Jim. He smiles warmly, and says, “Hallo. Wie gehen Sie heute?” (Hello. How are you?) “Ich bin fein.” (I’m fine) Diana replies. She follows Jim into the basement room where the others are gathered. Diana knows her job well. She knows just what is expected of her. The group has been working on a ritual working to bring a certain entities influence over all of the churches. These entities of various levels will bring complacency on all of the targeted locations. Each week, the group has focused on a different location. Diana’s job is to utter the required incantation. She has a phenomenal memory and has over a hundred incantations at her disposal. At the appropriate time, Jim signals Diana to come over and recite the incantation while doing the appropriate hand motions. The ritual only takes about 45 min. Jim walks her to the stairway and up to the landing telling her the whole time how proud he is of her and what a good job she does. He praises her awesome memory and hugs her, kissing her on the cheek. She lives for this praise and the human contact. She is so very lonely. She steps out of the door and sees the red sedan. This is her cue to disappear. She goes away and Kylie is back. Kylie gets in the car, and the driver takes her home. She gets out of the car, goes inside the house and lies down on the couch.
Jennifer wakes up and looks at the clock. It is 2:45 pm. “Oh crap!” she exclaims, “I only meant to close my eyes for a minute. What’s wrong with me? Why am I always so tired? I can’t ever get anything done.” She gets up and at 3:15pm greets her children as they come home from school.

Jennifer has absolutely no idea that she ever went anywhere. Jennifer is a devout Christian, and knows that dabbling in the occult is dangerous. She tried it at a friend’s house when she was 12. She and her friend had experimented with an Ouija board, and she was surprised at how it had actually worked. But, after doing it for an hour, Jennifer had gone into convulsions. That scared her and she never had anything to do with the occult again. Besides, it was forbidden in the bible.

This is what life is like for a person who is a programmed multiple trapped in a nefarious occult organization such as the Illuminati. Some spend their whole lives living a double life, one of which is behind their own backs doing things that they would never choose if given a free choice.

The Greatest Evil There Is

It is my solid belief that there is nothing in all of the earth, or in all of human history more evil than having control over a person to this extent. It involves the systematic destruction of every shred of a person’s humanity to achieve it. It involves the rape of the body, mind, soul, and spirit, and fractures a person’s personality to the point where they have no idea who they actually are, or live in a perpetual illusion of who they really are.
If control of this kind can be achieved, and it has been proven that it can, it is irresistible to those who wish to commit crimes and never get caught. How convenient it is to instruct a programmed alter within a person to commit a crime. The host (personality who lives everyday life) is totally unaware of the instructions, and is even unaware of the fact that she lives a fractured existence. If this can be achieved, not only can the real architects of the crime be hidden, the person used to commit the crime can have it forever held over their heads, keeping them prisoners of the system. They are told that if they ever betray the Order, they will go to prison for their crime and no one will ever believe that the act was done under mind control. How silly is that? No judge anywhere would ever believe it………would they?

The Symbolic Snapshot

This is part III in my series, Ride The Vine

After receiving and recording this vision, I did some online research concerning its two main symbols, the pillar and the vine. The intriguing information which I found adds meaning and depth to this message.

The Pillar

The pillar which I saw in the vision was what is known as a Corinthian column. It was fluted and had an elaborate capital. Interestingly, this type of column was mainly used in Roman architecture. What this says symbolically, coincides with my original interpretation of the column representing Western Christianity. All Western Christianity is descended from Roman Catholicism. Many traditions and doctrinal beliefs of Catholicism were still retained by Protestants after the Reformation. Some of these beliefs include: the celebration of Christian holidays, such as Christmas and Easter, the doctrine of original sin, the subordinate position of women in church leadership, and the dichotomous view of the things of this world being divided into one of two categories, either sacred or secular, just to name a few. This is NOT to say that Roman Catholicism is the “one true church”, but only to say that all of Western Christianity is descended from and still connected to in many ways, the Roman Church. A study of Celtic Christianity reveals the views of the Roman Church as differing in many ways from the early Christianity of the British Isles. Christianity there developed separately from Roman Christianity, especially after the fall of the Roman Empire. This was especially pronounced in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands, which were never occupied by the Romans. But this is an interesting and enlightening diversion that deserves its own discussion which I may tackle in the future.




The Vine

Before describing the different characteristics of the vine, let me amend that description slightly. Actually, as I revisited what I saw as I was doing research on vines, I realized that what I had actually seen in the vision was a kind of ivy, specifically of a type called English Ivy (Hedera helix).
A look at the characteristics and history surrounding this common plant, gives a good picture of what this new movement within Christianity might look like.

Attributes:
It is an evergreen plant with the ability to grow in the shade.
It grows well in areas where nothing else does.
It is a good ground cover which crowds out weeds.
It is a climbing plant, conforming to objects around which it climbs.
It is aggressive, invasive, and non-native to the New World.
It has no natural (environmental/biologic) controls.
It has rapid growth and low cultivation requirements.

History
In ancient times, it was associated with the Egyptian god Osiris, whose role was as judge of souls entering the afterlife. He is depicted holding an ivy covered staff. Ivy in this context represented life, death, and renewal.

In ancient Greece, an ivy crown was awarded for athletic achievement. This is probably what the Apostle Paul was referring to when he said that if we ran the “race” we would not receive a corruptible crown, but an eternal, incorruptible one. (1 Corinthians 9:25)

In the Middle Ages, ivy was believed to have the power to reveal witches and the use of ivy covered crosses for this purpose was common.

In the Victorian Era, ivy was a common decorative plant and was also carried in bride's bouquets as it symbolized fidelity.

Ivy has long been a symbol of eternal life across cultures.

In America, ivy has become a symbol of higher learning, as in the prestigious universities considered “Ivy League”.

From this information, we can get a pretty clear picture of what this new move of the Trinity will be like. It will be a movement that will start and grow by the power of the Holy Spirit, primarily, and not by human effort. It will be aggressive and invasive through society, needing little outside support. It will flourish in cultural and subcultural areas where traditional Christianity has failed to make a significant impact. Nothing will be able to conquer it. The dynamic Spirit led nature of it will crowd out the “weeds”, represented in the bible as infiltrators into His community as the agents of Satan. (See the parable of the wheat and the weeds: Matthew 13:24-30) It will meet people at the point of their need and understanding, conforming to them instead of forcing them to conform to a human version of Christian observance or culture. It will grow and flourish through all “seasons”, and through dark times.

I find it significant that ivy is associated with Osiris as the judge of the dead. It is no accident that God chooses this plant prophetically. He is saying that he is the One true God and judge of the living and the dead. As ivy is symbolic of eternal life, renewal, and fidelity, so these are all characteristics of our relationship with God through Christ Jesus. If ivy is considered to possess power over secret dark forces, so through the Holy Spirit's enabling, can we. Just as athletes of old received ivy crowns as awards, so we will also win an eternal “crown” if we commit to fight for the cause of Christ in a dark world. Last, but not least, as ivy symbolizes scholarship, the Trinity are the ultimate teachers of truth and wisdom, guiding us into all knowledge.

An Important Clarification

I was raised in a gnostic, pagan cult who taught us throughout our lives that Christianity was destined to fall and be replaced with the true version of Christianity which has been suppressed by powerful Church politics over the centuries. They look to a time in the very near future where a rightful king will ascend over all, and correct the lies of Christian doctrine, freeing people to move into a New Age of enlightenment and evolution.

I want to make it quite clear that the prophetic vision brought before you and its interpretation have nothing to do with these teachings. This is not a prophecy in accordance with this view of the future, nor in agreement with gnostic teachings. The new movement of God through Jesus will be a move more to back to the basic, orthodox teachings and their applications as described throughout the scriptures, specifically the New Testament. It will probably be closely patterned after the church as described in the book of Acts, and also what is known of the practices of first century Christians. These Christians met in small groups, mostly within homes. Their worship and teaching was more participatory in nature, in contrast to the modern practice of “spectator” Christian worship gatherings. They also had all possessions in common, giving of their abilities and resources to the group, and providing for group members who could not provide for themselves. They incorporated beliefs in a very real spiritual realm populated by Celestial beings and demons, and the practice of spiritual warfare against these “spiritual forces of evil”. (see Ephesians 6:10-18) All of these characteristics will be necessary for the survival of Jesus' Church after the kind of calamity and ensuing Great Deception, which is coming.

In the next installment of this series, I will be offering my conclusions regarding the nature of this coming Great Deception, as well as discussing key events which I believe make this generation unique; pointing to the probability that we are indeed living in the last days, the time of the budding fig tree.

Until then my friends,
Ride The Vine.........
