“Statute of Freedom” sitting on top of the United States Capitol dome in Washington D.C. Images Source.

by Brian Shilhavy

Last month (November, 2023), I wrote an article where I identified the name of the head demon I believed represented the USA today, which is “Columbia”, a female deity that also goes by “Lady Liberty” or “Freedom” in modern times since the USA was founded in 1776.

In ancient times she has been known by other names, such as “Ashtoreth”, a female fertility “god” known in Old Testament times, or “Artemis”, the name she was given in the New Testament times under the rule of the ancient Roman empire.

It would be helpful to the reader to review that article first, if you have not yet done so, before reading this one, which is a follow-up article to the material I presented there.

Excerpt:

This “Spirit of Columbia” represents the “New World Order”, and its primary meaning is one of “liberty”, which means “freedom.” This is the “spirit” of “America,” as the concept of “liberty” is drilled into those of us who grew up and were educated in the United States.

We have been taught to believe that it is our value of “liberty” that makes us superior to all other nations, and the nations that follow the United States are often referred to as “the Free World.”

This begs the question, “freedom” from what?

Well, from the view of Satan and the Freemasons, it would mean “freedom from God” and the constraints of morality. Those who embrace this message of “liberty” are the “enlightened ones” even though in reality, according to the Bible, this concept of “freedom” results in slavery, and slaves to Satan and his world system.

According to the teachings of the New Testament, true “liberty” or freedom is found only in Jesus Christ.

Anyone else who claims to offer “freedom” is actually a slave to Satan and his world system.

This demonic value of “freedom” in the “free world” has been used for many decades now as an excuse for war to force other countries to be “free”, like us. When enemies of the United States attack us, we are told they attack us because they “hate our freedom.”

So we bomb them and destroy their country and their culture, forcing them to be “free” like us.

Is the Spirit of Columbia the Head Demon Over the United States? Is this Demon Referenced in Biblical Prophecy?

Another manifestation of this demon of the United States of America is in the “Statute of Freedom” which stands tall on top of the U.S. Capitol dome in Washington D.C., where members of the U.S. Congress meet in the legislative branch of the U.S. government.

Here is a description of this statute:

The Statue of Freedom is a colossal bronze figure standing 19+1⁄2 ft (5.9 m) tall and weighing approximately 15,000 pounds (6,800 kg). Her crest peaks at 288 feet (88 m) above the east front plaza of the U.S. Capitol.

She is an allegorical figure whose right hand holds the hilt of a sheathed sword, while a laurel wreath of victory and the Shield of the United States are clasped in her left hand.

Her chiton is secured by a brooch inscribed “U.S.” and is partially covered by a heavy, Native American–style fringed blanket thrown over her left shoulder.

She faces east toward the main entrance of the building and the rising Sun. She wears a military helmet adorned with stars and an eagle’s head which is itself crowned by an umbrella-like crest of feathers.

Although not actually called “Columbia”, she shares many of her iconic characteristics.

Freedom stands atop a cast-iron globe encircled with one of the national mottoes, E pluribus unum (Latin for “Out of many, one.”)

The lower part of the base is decorated with fasces and wreaths. Ten spikes are attached to her headdress, shoulders and shield to deter birds from roosting.

The statue conducts lightning to its base where it is grounded by thick copper wire connected to a spike in the earth as a safe high current pathway for lightning strikes*. (Source.)

* “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” Words of Jesus in Luke 10:18.

* Jesus also said: “For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man” in Matthew 24:27.

Latin was the language of the former Roman Empire, and the District of Columbia in the United States is full of these Latin phrases, as well as Roman architecture.

Look at the Roman columns in the U.S. Capitol building below Columbia, both above the dome as well as at the base.

These Roman columns are found all throughout the U.S. District of Columbia, as well as in front of courthouses and State Capitol buildings all across the United States, and they are temple columns of “The Corinthian Order.”

Here is a description of these Roman columns from the U.S. Government website, Architect of the Capitol, which is “the name of the U.S. legislative branch agency responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the Capitol campus, as well as the title for the leader of the agency.”

Corinthian columns are the most ornate, slender and sleek of the three Greek orders.

They are distinguished by a decorative, bell-shaped capital with volutes, two rows of acanthus leaves and an elaborate cornice. In many instances, the column is fluted.

Columns in this style can be found inside and outside of the buildings on Capitol Hill, including the U.S. Capitol, the Supreme Court Building, the Russell Senate Office Building, the Cannon House Office Building and the Library of Congress.

The exterior of the Capitol Building contains examples of a modified Corinthian column style, including the East Front center portico and the West Front. On the first floor of the Capitol’s House wing is the dramatic, high ceilinged Hall of Columns, which takes its name from the 28 fluted, white marble columns that line the corridor.

The column capitals are a variation on the Corinthian order, incorporating not only classical acanthus leaves but also thistles and native American tobacco plants. Earlier uses of American vegetation in the building’s capitals include Benjamin Henry Latrobe’s corncob capitals in a first-floor vestibule and his tobacco-leaf capitals in the Small Senate Rotunda.

The Supreme Court Building was designed in the classical Corinthian architectural style, selected to harmonize with the nearby congressional buildings. Its monumental entrance, facing the U.S. Capitol Building, contains a central temple-like pavilion fronted by a monumental portico with 16 Corinthian marble columns that support an elaborate entablature and pediment.

In the Cannon House Office Building and Russell Senate Office Building, their identical rotundas contain 18 Corinthian columns that support an entablature and a coffered dome, and whose glazed oculus floods the rotunda with natural light. (Source.)

Wikipedia has more information about the Roman Corinthian Order, documenting their use in “Temples”.

Roman Corinthian order

The style developed its own model in Roman practice, following precedents set by the Temple of Mars Ultor in the Forum of Augustus (c. 2 AD).

It was employed in southern Gaul at the Maison Carrée, Nîmes and at the comparable Temple of Augustus and Livia at Vienne. Other prime examples noted by Mark Wilson Jones are the lower order of the Basilica Ulpia and the Arch of Trajan at Ancona (both of the reign of Trajan, 98–117 AD), the Column of Phocas (re-erected in Late Antiquity but 2nd century in origin), and the Temple of Bacchus at Baalbek (c. 150 AD).

The abacus upon the capital has concave sides to conform to the outscrolling corners of the capital, and it may have a rosette at the center of each side. Corinthian columns were erected on the top level of the Roman Colosseum, holding up the least weight, and also having the slenderest ratio of thickness to height. Their height to width ratio is about 10:1.

One variant is the Tivoli order, found at the Temple of Vesta, Tivoli. The Tivoli order’s Corinthian capital has two rows of acanthus leaves and its abacus is decorated with oversize fleurons in the form of hibiscus flowers with pronounced spiral pistils. The column flutes have flat tops. (Source.)

These Roman columns are still used today with Temples:

The House of the Temple is a Masonic temple in Washington, D.C., United States, that serves as the headquarters of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A. (officially, Home of The Supreme Council, 33°, Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, Washington D.C., U.S.A.) – Source.

This Masonic Temple in the District of Columbia has a replica of a “ziggurat” at the top. I say “replica” because no true ziggurats exist today, only ruins, and along with the Great Pyramids in Egypt, the technology to build such structures no longer exists today. See also:

Dr. John Walton believes that the Tower of Babel was a ziggurat, and this was one possible function of ziggurats that he gives:

The ziggurat was a structure that was built to support the stairway (siminiltu), which was believed to be used by the gods to travel from one realm to the other. It was solely for the convenience of the  gods and was maintained in order to provide the deity with the amenities that would refresh him along the way (food, a place to lie and rest, etc.). The stairway led at the top to the gate of the gods,  the entrance to the divine abode.

Is there really any doubt that the United States is the “revived Roman Empire” which many believe is prophesied in the Bible to be the “Great Prostitute”, or that Washington D.C. is at the seat of Freemasonry and Satanism in the world today?

If so, what does biblical prophecy say is going to happen to this “Beast” and the “Great Prostitute” in the “last days”?

Understanding Biblical Prophecy

When it comes to Biblical prophecy, and especially the book of Revelation, sometimes referred to as “the Apocalypse” and is the last book of the Bible written by John, the closest friend to Jesus Christ among the “apostles”, there are very many different opinions and interpretations that have been written over the years.

Revelation was written by John as a vision, and is full of symbolism. The most predominate interpretations of Revelation and Biblical prophecy today come from Dispensationalism, and the Zionist views.

I have already written an exposé on the Zionist cult, showing that it is not based on the writings contained in the Bible:

Exposing the Christian Zionism Cult

Dispensationalist views of prophecy are not the only views published in Biblical commentaries, however, and even within Dispensationalism there are many different variations of views on Biblical prophecy.

The tragedy of teaching on Biblical prophecy, in my opinion, is that almost everyone within Corporate Christianity believes that their view is the only legitimate one, and they are quick to attack others who do not share their views.

Because prophecy deals with future events, I have never myself been dogmatic about any of the popular views, even though I was academically taught Dispensationalism back in the early 1980s. I have frequently stated over the years, especially to those who have wanted to argue or debate this topic, that I could probably win a debate on ANY of these views if I so wanted to, by simply studying the other side and pointing out their flaws.

I am currently studying the Book of Revelation, and the one book I have used over the years to understand all the different historical views on Revelation is Steve Gregg’s book, Revelation, Four Views : a Parallel Commentary, which is available on Archive.org for reading for free.

This book is NOT a true commentary, but an explanation of the predominate interpretations of Revelation through the ages. Think of it as an investigative report that Steve Gregg presents to the reader to understand all the different views of Revelation that we currently have in the English language.

Gregg categorizes all the various interpretations of Revelation into four categories: Preterist, Historicist, Futurist, and Spiritual/Idealist.

Here is a description of the four views:

Ask most people — Christian or non-Christian — what they think the book of Revelation is about, and chances are they will tell you it is a book about the “end of the world.”

Chances are, they have never heard any other way to understand this book filled with strange beasts, symbolism and ominous signs of doom. Most people are unaware that there is any other way to understand this mysterious last book of the Bible.

But the futurist view (that Revelation is predicting events yet to be fulfilled) is only one of four traditional Christian ways of looking at the Bible’s most enigmatic book.

These four views are carefully and even-handedly analyzed and then applied to each verse and passage in Revelation: Four Views — A Parallel Commentary, edited by Steve Gregg and published by Thomas Nelson and Sons.

Here is a brief summary of the four approaches Gregg presents.

1. PRETERIST. MOST PROPHECIES IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION WERE FULFILLED DURING THE TIME OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.

A word of caution here. Not all preterists are created equal. The term preterism can describe two very different approaches: 1) A belief that the text is not inspired prophecy, but is rather a description of certain historical events amidst fanciful apocalyptic imagery. 2) A belief that the prophecies of the book are divinely inspired and were fulfilled mostly in the first centuries after Christ.

The first type of preterist, theologically liberal, advocates a later writing of the book (A.D. 95), and while accepting the historical reality of certain events in the text, believes John’s apocalyptic visions were never, and will never be, fulfilled.

The second type of preterist, theologically conservative, believes in an early writing of the book (before A.D. 70). Those who advocate this view point out the correspondence between Revelation and the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. They point to Revelation 1:1, 19, which says that the predicted events must must “shortly come to pass.” They also point to Jesus’ Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24) as primarily being fulfilled with the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans in A.D. 70.

Most conservative preterists allow, however, that the last chapters of Revelation describe the Second Coming of Christ.

2. HISTORICIST. THE PROPHECIES HAVE BEEN FULFILLED THROUGHOUT HISTORY AND ARE STILL BEING FULFILLED TODAY.

While this interpretation is not widely in use today, those who have been steeped in popular futurist views are often surprised to learn that most of the classic commentaries from a century or more ago are written from a historicist viewpoint. Many of the great leaders of the Reformation and later also held to this view: Wycliffe, Knox, Tyndale, Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Melanchthon, Newton, Huss, Foxe, Wesley, Edwards, Whitfield and Finney.

According to historicists, Revelation is a kind of survey of church history, with historical events symbolically portrayed. Historicists believe that exact time periods are specified, assuming that each day specified in the text equals a year in real time.

The challenge for historicists has been to align actual events with the details in the text (an approach shared by preterists and futurists). This requires large amounts of conjecture, and the flexibility to revise interpretations in light of ongoing world events.

Another prominent feature of Protestant historicism is its belief that the Antichrist of Revelation refers to the Papacy. For this reason, some die-hard historicists assert that all other interpretations of Revelation are Satanically inspired attempts to obscure the Antichrist’s true identity.

In any case, historicism has fallen out of vogue. Critics point out that it has not kept up with history much past the 14th century and that it is Eurocentric — not recognizing more recent and significant developments in the church in other parts of the world.

3. FUTURIST. MOST PROPHECIES BEYOND REVELATION 3 ARE YET TO BE FULFILLED.

This is the view held by most contemporary North American evangelical writers and teachers. Somewhat ironically, futurism was originated in 1585 by Francisco Ribeira, a Spanish Jesuit priest, for the purpose of refuting the historicist views of the Protestant reformers.

The most popular version of futurism today is dispensationalism, which has only been around since 1830, when J.N. Darby began teaching his ideas of a secret Rapture of the church (Revelation 4:1) followed by a tribulation period, and a 1,000-year rule of Christ.

Futurists tend to take a literal view of the book of Revelation. Since futurists believe that few, if any, of the events from chapters 4-22 of Revelation have taken place, it is easy for them to assert that most of these prophecies are to be taken literally (whereas preterists, historicists and spiritualists must wrestle with symbolic interpretations of passages about the two witnesses and the four horsemen, for example).

This literal interpretation of the highly symbolic book of Revelation ignores the style of writing God inspired John to use. The first key in understanding literature of any type is to determine the kind (genre) of literature it is.

Revelation is prophecy, letter and apocalyptic — with the apocalyptic style predominating. Apocalyptic style was well known at the time John wrote, using cryptic meanings and symbolic images. Above all, apocalyptic literature is born of immediate persecution and oppression and anticipates the final triumph of good over evil.

Disregarding the language God inspires to convey his message, futurists conveniently avoid having their “this is going to happen in the near future” approach tested by historical events.

Dispensationalists, in particular, can prognosticate freely with the confidence that they will be raptured before the bulk of Revelation is fulfilled and will not be around on earth to be embarrassed by any inaccuracies in their predictions.

On further thought, this approach renders the book irrelevant and of little practical use for most Christians, as they either will have died or will have been raptured before its fulfillment.

4. SPIRITUAL (OR SYMBOLIC OR IDEALIST). MOST PROPHECIES PORTRAY THE ONGOING COSMIC CONFLICT OF SPIRITUAL REALITIES AND MAY HAVE MANY FULFILLMENTS THROUGHOUT HISTORY.

This actually represents a variety of approaches that look for lessons or principles — often recurrent in history — symbolically depicted in Revelation. Noting the apocalyptic style in which the book is written, this interpretation sees the central theme as the triumph of good over evil, of Christ over Satan. Passages that other approaches regard as depicting chronological events (such as the seals, trumpets and emergence of the beast) are regarded allegorically by spiritualists as recurring realities in history as part of God’s sovereign plan for humankind.

The obvious advantage of this view is that there is no need to match events described in the book to real events. The disadvantage is that the book of Revelation itself claims to predict certain specific events (1:1).

There is a good review written by Ron Maness on this book as well.

In my opinion, to be dogmatic about only one view, is very foolish, and it easily leads to deception, which is what we are viewing in real time today regarding the Zionist view of current events, especially in Gaza and Israel.

To have only one view of this prophecy is to begin your study of it based on dogma, and try to fit everything into your own dogmatic views.

I prefer to look at prophecy more like an investigative journalist, looking for the evidence to support certain views. And the problem with trying to understand prophecy, is that the main evidence, if the prophecy happens in the future, is not yet available to us, and will only be available AFTER these events occur.

Many of the prophecies about the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, that were written in the Old Testament, were never fully understood until after Jesus came to earth and fulfilled them.

So it is foolish to claim that one knows exactly how to interpret these prophecies of the future, and that all other views are wrong.

I am going to publish in the rest of this article my own views and opinions, and I want to state right up front that I have my own biases, which will be clearly seen, and that these are my opinions, and that I fully understand that how events actually unfold in the future could be quite different.

But I bring a unique perspective to these prophecies, because even though I was academically taught in one school of thought on these prophecies, I have NOT been employed by Corporate Christianity for over 30 years, and I am not, therefore, financially connected to any of these views. I collect no revenue and no donations for what I write here, so it does not matter to me if you don’t agree or do not like what I publish here.

I am writing what I believe the Holy Spirit is revealing to me today, in December of 2023, and viewing these prophecies through the lens of current world affairs that are happening right NOW.

This gives me a clear advantage over most of the commentaries previously written on Revelation, as NONE of them deal with current events that have happened since 2020 and the great COVID Scam, as well as what has happened since October this year, and the Hamas – Israel war.

Also, since I am not employed by Corporate Christianity and am free to study whatever I want, I have NOT studied “Theology” and “Christian teaching” for over 40 years, and have instead studied, and earned my living from: teaching English, teaching technology, understanding nutrition and the corruption of the U.S. Government in their dietary advice, understanding the evil premises of the medical system and their drugs and vaccines, understanding child trafficking through the U.S. Government and Corporate Christianity, etc.

Through all of this I have studied the Scriptures to guide me, and I am now in my mid-60s with over 40 years of studying the Bible.

Very few, if any, of these commentators on Revelation, or those who preach and teach about it in Corporate Christianity today, will teach the kind of things that I have been writing about for over a decade now, such as the Satanic roots to the modern medical system, Freemasonry and how the United States was founded by Freemason Satanists for a “New World Order,” and, especially, how the “Church” and the religion “Christianity” today are NOT found in the Bible, and are not needed at all for the true disciples of Jesus Christ.

When it comes to the book of Revelation in the Bible, I agree with many of the views in the four different schools of thought, but I also believe that most of them miss some very important things that have become much more clear in recent times.

It is important to start Revelation with the fact that this was a real writing written in the First Century with very real applications for those who were alive during those times. I have a lot of respect, therefore, for the Preterist views that much of what was written in the book was fulfilled during the lifetimes of John and his readers, and were fulfilled with the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in AD 70 by Roman armies, and that some of Revelation was written about the future destruction of what was then “modern day” Rome.

The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple was indeed the “end of the ages” for those living in Jerusalem and Israel during that time.

Rome

Almost ALL of the various views on Revelation see Rome as significant, and as having a role in what were then “future events” at the time Revelation was written.

Jews who had believed that Jesus was the prophesied Messiah living outside of Israel in the Roman Kingdom were persecuted by the Roman Emperor Nero starting in 64 AD, blaming them for burning down much of Rome, and many of these believers were literally burned at the stake and brutally murdered in Roman colosseums.

Most modern day accounts of this period of history state that Nero was killing “Christians,” but this name was not used of the First Century believers of themselves, but was a name given to the Gentile believers in Antioch.

Most, if not all, of those killed by Nero were Jews, including, according to tradition, Peter and Paul, who were leaders among the Jewish believers.

Luke, who wrote the book of Acts, uses the name “Jews” when referring to Roman persecution during his time:

After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. (Acts 18:1-2)

So, many of the Preterists believe that Nero is referenced in Revelation, many of the Historicists believe it was in the future targeting the “Pope” as the head of Rome, and most the Futurists believe this “Rome” is a future, revived Roman Empire in Western Europe to be revealed in the “last days.”

Most of the Futurists see the reference to “ten horns” representing ten kings in Revelation 17:12, as well as in Daniel 7:24, as rulers of Western European nations that will comprise the “revived Roman Empire.”

When I was in Bible School back in the 1980s, we were taught that this would probably be the European Union, even though at that time there were more than 10 nations who were members of the European Union.

Today, there are more than 20.

My own view, which as I stated above is that the United States is the “Revived Roman Empire”, is that it makes more sense that a 10-nation union will oppose the U.S. where the “beast” sits (see below), and that certainly cannot be Western Europe, as most are members of NATO today and support the U.S.

Is there another current-day 10-nation union that could possibly fulfill this prophecy and challenge the United States and her head demon, Columbia?

Yes, there most certainly is: BRICS. And as of 5 days ago at the time of my writing this, BRICS just became a 10-member alliance.

BRICS was originally a 5-nation alliance consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

Earlier this year (2023) 6 other nations were accepted into the alliance: Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

This would make 11 nations, but 5 days ago Argentina withdrew from joining.

Argentina’s incoming foreign minister says country will not join BRICS bloc

BUENOS AIRES, Nov 30 (Reuters) – Argentina’s incoming Foreign Minister Diana Mondino says the country will not join the BRICS grouping of developing nations in a post on social media X on Thursday.

Argentina was among six countries invited to become new members of the BRICS at a summit held in South Africa in August, part of the grouping’s push to reshuffle a Western-dominated world order it sees as outdated. (Source.)

Does the demonic Lady Columbia hold power over not only the United States, but also the Spanish speaking Latin American countries? One of them is actually named after her (Colombia), and traditionally has been one of the main centers of the illegal drug trade in America.

Brazil is the only non-Spanish speaking country in South America, as they speak Portuguese and apparently did not follow Christopher Columbus like the other American nations.

The “Beast” is Not a Person Called the “Anti-Christ”

In the popular culture, the term “Antichrist” is commonly used to refer to some future world ruler to arise during the “End Times.”

However, a search for the term “Antichrist” in the book of Revelation will return a result of ZERO references.

The term is found in other places of the Bible, in the other writings (besides Revelation) of the apostle John:

Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.

But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.

Who is the liar?

It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. (1 John 2:18-22)

John makes it clear that he is not referring to just one antichrist, but many. They are the “liars,” and Jesus stated that Satan was the “father of lies.”

Satan, or the Devil, is the ultimate Antichrist, and those who follow him can also be referred to “antichrists”.

The idea that Revelation prophecy refers to a one-world ruler as the “Anti-Christ” comes mainly from the Futurists who believe that the “Beast” in Revelation represents one world ruler called the “Anti-Christ.”

But others, including myself, do not believe that. They believe it refers to a worldwide “system” that serves Satan.

Bank of England in London. Source.

In my opinion, this is clearly representing the world’s financial system, which in the 18th Century began to be controlled by Freemasons and the Rothschild family banking dynasty.

They are the ones who financed the “British Colonies” and conquest of North America, which birthed the United States of America, the center for the “New World Order” in 1776, and the revived Roman Empire.

The “mark” of U.S. currency on the $1 bill.

I doubt that many would argue the point that the center of the financial system since the end of World War II has been the United States. Most of Europe had to rebuild their economies after the war, but the U.S. mainland escaped any bombing or invasion, and turned their wartime production into dominating the world economic scene.

The “mark” of the “beast” in Revelation clearly points to an economic system:

He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666. (Revelation 13:16-18)

This mark is already visible throughout our economic system.

This is on our Bitchute channel.

As to this mark being on people’s “right hand or forehead,” I believe this is spiritual, and deal more extensively with that issue in this previously published article:

The Seal and Mark of God is Far More Important than the “Mark of the Beast” – Are You Prepared for What’s Coming?

Then there is the “second beast” which many also associate with the “false prophet” and the arrogant smaller beast of Daniel 7:8, which works closely as the mouthpiece of the main beast (the financial system) in Revelation 13:

Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.

He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.

And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men.

Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. (Revelation 13:11-15)

I think there is strong evidence in modern history that this “second beast” is Big Tech, which is closely aligned with the financial system.

And while I often define “Big Tech” today as consisting of “computer technology” developed since in the 1980s, I think this second “beast” probably began just after WW II and “Operation Paper Clip“, which brought German technologists who developed rockets and bombs to the United Sates, and also were the origins of NASA.

As I have previously documented, NASA is a Freemason organization that uses demonic names in most of their space programs, such as “Apollo”, “Columbia”, and most recently, “Artemis.” See:

Get to Know NASA’s New Artemis Freemason Space Program

Since the end of 2022, much of computer technology, which is powered by electricity and run by written language, computer “code” and “algorithms”, is being developed in “Large Language Models” (LLMs), which is called “Artificial Intelligence” (AI).

The public is being deceived into thinking that these AI programs can replace humans, but they cannot operate without humans feeding them the language (code) to produce their results.

They are intrinsic to the financial system, and now can actually give this “beast system” actual “voices” based on LLM AI.

The “fatal wound” that Revelation says the beast will suffer and then miraculously recover from, would then be the collapse of the financial system, and its “reset” to digital currencies powered by technology (the second “beast”).

Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image (Central Bank Digital Currencies??) in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. (Revelation 13:14)

The Great Prostitute and “Babylon” is The United States of America – Columbia/Lady Liberty

Since the United States is the “Revived Roman Empire,” can there be any doubt that “the Great Prostitute” and “Babylon” in Revelation is the United States of America?

Here is the description from Revelation 17, and ask yourself which other country this could possibly be referring to besides the United States of America, given current events as they unfolding today?

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”

Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls.

She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished.

Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns.

The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction.

The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come.

“This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while.

The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.

“The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.

They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”

Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God’s words are fulfilled.

The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.” (Revelation 17:1-18)

Only Washington D.C., the district of “Columbia” representing the United States, meets the description today of “the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”

Lady Liberty is in trouble. Read Revelation chapter 18.

“Babylon” is the same as the “Great Prostitute”, and its name comes from “Babel” and the “Tower of Babel” story in Genesis chapter 11, the last time there was a One World Government where everyone spoke the same language.

Today, technology allows everyone in the world to speak the same language through translation software, and that technology all originated right here, in the Land of “Liberty.”

The original Babylon, as well as the original Garden of Eden, is believed to be in modern day Iraq by the Euphrates River.

When Lady Liberty invaded Iraq under George Bush from the Bush family oil tycoons of Texas, this is the “Iraq Campaign Medal” that was issued by the Army:

As you can see, the demonic lady “Freedom” is prominently displayed on one side, making claim for ancient Babylon.

But others are now moving in to challenge Lady Liberty in Iraq:

Conclusion – Prepare for a Financial Collapse and the New “Marks” of the Beast Financial System Ruled by Big Tech

There is so much more I could write on this, but this article is already the result of days of research, and I am continuing my research. Many things written in the Revelation prophecy make more sense here in 2023, such as “the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness” in Revelation 16, which could be talking about a cyber attack that brings down the electrical grid which would devastate the economy.

Verses such as this one in Revelation 6:

and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. (Revelation 6:13)

could very well be describing the destruction of Elon Musk’s thousands of satellites and rockets as they fall to the earth.

As to the second beast (Big Tech) performing “great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men“, this could easily be Direct Energy Weapons (DEWs) that the U.S. military already has, and that some have speculated have been used in recent strange-acting fires, such as the one in Hawaii earlier this year.

Please do not get bogged down in details and arguments and lose site of the bigger picture here. I am writing this humbly and admitting up front that this is my opinion, and that things could work out differently as we rapidly approach a system collapse.

I am not interested in arguing or debating end-time prophecies, as I know this is a passionate topic for so many people.

My purpose in writing this is to warn people of what is probably ahead with the collapse of the financial system, and new “marks” that will be rolled out to participate in the “recovered” beast system after what they are calling the “Great Reset.”

The geopolitical scene seems to be set to explode into a full WW III any day now with the conflict in Gaza, and perhaps the most important message I want to communicate to my fellow citizens of the USA is that our country is not the Savior of the World, but just the opposite.

It is the center of demonic and Satanic activity.

It is entirely possible that the first iteration of this “mark” to participate in a new end-times financial system was already rolled out in 2020-2021, with the COVID-19 bioweapon shots that many people submitted to as a mandate to keep their jobs.

Could this perhaps have been the beginning of the “Bowl” judgments in Revelation 16? Notice the description of the first bowl:

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”

The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. (Revelation 16:1-2)

Diseases of the skin are often symbolic of human disease conditions, such as the use of the word “leprosy” used in Old Testament times. It was also one of the “plagues” inflicted upon the Egyptians before the Hebrew slaves left Egypt.

There were most certainly major diseases of the skin that broke out in people who took the COVID-19 shots, and the rise of “unexplained deaths” continue through today.

Refusing to take this new “mark” of the revived beast financial system that will soon be rolled out might result in your physical death, but it will save your soul in eternity.

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

All these are the beginning of birth pains. Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

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 he who stands firm to the end will be saved. (Matthew 24:7-13)
