Most men believe that a woman is a man without a penis; that she behaves like a man, only with the peculiarities of the so-called “female logic”. This mistake does not allow us adequately to understand the problem of women and their relationships with men.

The escalation of feminism in the West not only does not improve the lives of women, but it also finally deprives men of the opportunity to understand the true nature of women and to learn how to behave properly with them.

Only via the Holy Scriptures is it possible to understand a woman and find acceptable ways of interacting with her.

I. Adam’s Declaration.

The most important feature of God and the godlike human being is free creativity. However, and all Christians will agree, the most important characteristic of the Divine and human person is love. We will not go into this bottomless concept here, but let us say that love implies an Other. One cannot love in the full sense of this concept nature, animals, art. All such love has limits. Truly infinite love is possible only between personalities.

The most comprehensive concept of human language that most fully describes the Godhead is love. But since God is love, it requires more personalities to love, so God is not one Person. In the Bible, God is Elohim, literally “gods. We know from the Bible that the Godhead has three Persons, which in Revelation are called Father, Son, and Holy Spirit/God Spirit. The unity of the Godhead in the three different Persons is maintained by love. They love each other so much that they form one whole, yet the three Persons do not merge into one.

Moreover, God the Father is the Beginning. The Father gives birth (not creates, but gives birth) to the Son and “emits” the Holy Spirit (“the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father” (Jon.15:26). What is important is that the three divine Persons, equal to each other, free – so loving one another that they simultaneously remain as oneness, but retain their personal otherness.

And if God created man as a godlike person personality, then such a personality must be inherent in love. Man-personality must love God-personality. But in addition, man, like God, must be able to beget and love other human personalities like himself. God the Father gives birth to a Son, whom he loves, and man must give birth to and love.

Now read the amazing story of the Bible about man’s ability to give birth and love to his fellow human beings:

«Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him”. Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, ” This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man”. For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh» (Genesis 2:18-24).

 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make (in Septuagint «we will make») him a helper suitable for him”.

The Divine Council of the Trinity gathers: עָשָׂה – “make“. It means that something exceptionally important is to come. There are seven such councils in known history. There was such counsel at the creation of man-Adam. Now the council gathers again.  The council states that man cannot be alone in order to be Godlike. Man needs a “helper” to maximize the most important divine characteristic in man: love.  “A helper suitable to him“. It is a approximate translation of the rather complex construct כְּנֶגְדּֽוֹ which is more appropriately translated here as “complementary“. That is, “Let us make him a helper that complements him“. Yes, Adam needs someone to complement him in order to realize his Godlikeness. At the creation of this helper, God’s own creation is complete, since the fullness of creation is already there. The helper is the crown of creation, for the realization of the most important thing in man.

Then everyone knows: God put Adam to sleep, took his rib, and made Adam a wife out of it.

Here, Adam, get a woman! There are plenty of jokes and stereotypes on this subject. But it’s not like that at all! At all.

«Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field…».

This is the first time in creation that God has not done right after He said. Before that: God said and God did immediately. But here it begins to be different. It can’t be otherwise. God is no longer alone in the universe. A God-like Adam has already been created, and no important steps can be taken without his consent and participation.

What does God do? He creates animals and birds especially close (animals of the field are animals that live only in the Garden of Eden with man) to Adam, and He involves Adam in this creation – God and man create together. Giving a name is an element of creation and a sign of authority over that to which one has given a name. Adam becomes the co-creator and ruler over these animals.

«but no helper was found for man to complement him»

Okay, stop. It turns out that God and Adam were not just creating new animals, but also looking for something. God already knew perfectly well that there would be no “complementary” to Adam from these animals. But why were they looking? It was as if God was asking Adam – “Do you need anybody else?” And Adam said he did, and he sought that need for himself. In the process of this co-creation of animals, Adam manifested a desire for someone else like himself to be with him and thereby asserted that his love (as a particle from God) required realization.

Adam felt, recognized the need for the Other and consented to the creation of this Other. It was only now that God could already proceed with the final act of creation. After Adam’s creation, nothing in the world comes from God without the participation of man. When in future God decides to come into the world, he will ask man’s consent to do so.

So we finally come to the “creation from the rib”. But even here everything is amazing and unbelievable:

«So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, ” This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man”. For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh»

 «So the LORD God caused a deep sleep (תַּרְדֵּמָה) to fall upon the man, and he slept…»

This is a fundamentally incorrect translation. A deep sleep – תַּרְדֵּמָה is not a sleep at all. תַּרְדֵּמָה is the same thing that happened to Abraham when God made a covenant with him: “Now when the sun was going down, a תַּרְדֵּמָה fell upon Abram, and behold, terror and great darkness fell upon him. God said to Abram…” (Genesis 15:12-13). Of course Abraham was awake – he saw God in the form of a flaming torch and listened to His promises. But the event was so frightening and difficult for man to perceive that God puts man in a special state. The Septuagint correctly translated תַּרְדֵּמָה as ecstasy. So Adam did not sleep at all, but in view of the enormity of the coming event, being in a state of ecstasy, he saw everything and understood everything.

«then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The LORD God fashioned בָּנָה into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man»

This is where the comparison with Adam’s creation must begin.

The following words are used to describe Сreation. To create בָּרָא bara, is to create from nothing. To make עָשָׂה asa is to make from something that already exists. Thus in the Councils of Elohim it was decided to make עָשָׂה asa both man and woman. But Adam and the animals of paradise God did not just make, but sculpted, molded יָצַר yatzar. Regarding woman, the word is בָּנָה bana – to build, to construct. Adam was made of clay and then spiritualized by God. The woman, on the other hand, was already made from a living spiritualized person, not from dead clay. The word בָּנָה bana, to construct, unique to the first chapters of Genesis, is chosen for such an act. It was not even cloning, for the woman did not turn out to be a copy of Adam. It was something else. It was something similar to the plot from the movie “The Fifth Element” when from a piece of limb of some monster was made quite a living unique person – Mila Jovovich. Adam, of course, was not ugly and scary, but the woman was fundamentally different and thus became a harmonious complement to the man.

And so Adam meets this complement of himself and proclaims the declaration: «This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man”. For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh».

«bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man» – Adam recognizes in the “complement of man” a being native and close to himself, and at the same time gives that being a name, which according to the Bible, means to define the characteristics of the named.

In Biblical Hebrew אּישׁ ish is a husband, a man, a human being. The Hebrew word for wife is אִשָּׁה isha, that is, the word wife is a man with a feminine ending. It should be noted that to give a name in the Bible is to define the most important characteristics of the one being named. By giving such a name to the woman, Adam became the co-creator of the woman and thereby defined the closeness of the female nature to the male, and the distinction that allows the woman to complement the man.

Let us remember that it was God himself who gave Adam the name, not Adam who named himself. This means that man is not wholly subject to himself, but only to God. But since Adam gave a woman a name – it means that man can claim authority over a woman.

Woman was created by God and Adam together. And when, after the fall of man, Adam tried to accuse God: «The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate» (Gen.3:12), he lied twice. First, God is not guilty that instead of exercising authority over the woman, which he was entitled to do, Adam submitted to her, and second, it was not “whom You gave to be with me” but God and Adam together voluntarily created the woman.

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and cleave to his wife; and they shall be one flesh” – Adam prophetically (for while there is no mother and father) proclaims the love of the husband for his wife. As love reigns among the divine Persons: “I and the Father are one” (Ion.10:30), so and among human beings, especially between husband and wife, Adam proclaims love, confesses love, and thus declares the actualization of his divine attributes, of which love is the main one.

II. The mysterious word that explains almost everything

But this pastoral idyll ended quickly. There was the Fall of man, which had tectonic consequences. Inter alia, a tremendous change concerned the relationship between man and woman. The subject is immense, and we will touch on only the most interesting for us here.

«The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life; And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.”

To the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you.”

Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. “Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.”

Now the man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living» (Genesis 3:14-20).

Concerning Adam. God accuses him of two sins. Of course for breaking the commandment of not eating the forbidden fruit, but also for submitting to the woman even though he had every opportunity and power to stop the sin. These sins had far-reaching consequences.

Adam was created immortal so that in free creativity and love he could realize his divinity. And now that he has traded freedom for dependence on matter through sin, there is almost no free creativity left in his activities. Most of the time man must now work to sustain his life, which will anyway end in decay and death.

«To the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children».  Woman was created as Adam’s helper and complement in love and free creativity. But as a result of the fall into sin, woman’s creativity is limited to painful childbearing. But let us notice how this limitation occurs. Adam was created by God Himself, and God Himself changed Adam’s nature after the Fall of man. But the change in the nature and life of the woman after sin was made by God and Adam together: «Now the man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living». Adam gave a second name to the woman, Eve, which fixes the limitation of her creativity by childbearing.

Adam and Eve realized their sin and repented. Though God kicked them out of Paradise, He did not abandon them. Eve probably felt the worst in this situation. But in all this tragedy, God gives the woman a great hope: Some of her offspring (seed, offspring – זֶ֫רַע zera) will smite Satan and save mankind from the curse of sin. Eve immediately grasped this and as the book of Genesis tells us, the first thing people did after being expelled from Paradise: “And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD” (Gen.4:1). The first thing people did outside Paradise – was to get laid. Of course it is written in patriarchal language that Adam knew Eve. But it was rather Eve who fucked Adam. She wanted her child to be the Savior that God promised. So she named her son Cain (from the word “gain” from the Lord): she was waiting for a Savior. But the Fall of man was too great a catastrophe and her first offspring turned out not to be the Savior and Christ, but the first Satanist and Antichrist. It would be millennia before a distant descendant of Eve came as Savior.

Now we come to the main question of our narrative. How should the relationship between man and woman work after the Fall of man. Before sin, woman was free to co-create and love with man. Man had the right to exercise authority over the woman, but it was only a right, not an obligation. Before the Fall of man, love gave no place to authority. They were united in love. But when Eve stumbled and sinned, love weakened and Adam should have immediately exercised his authority over his wife. But he did not do so and sinned himself.

Now, so that this does not happen in the future, God establishes a new mechanism for the relationship between the sexes: “Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you“. The main purpose of a woman’s existence is desire for her husband. It’s not just about sexual attraction. A woman can have sex, give birth and raise children without being in a serious relationship with a man. A popular theory is that a woman is attracted to a man instinctively. And this is not entirely true. Instinctively a man is attracted to a woman because of his instinct for sexual desire and reproduction. A woman, unlike a man, has something different and far more serious than mere instinct.

The word “desire” does not convey all the meaning. The word תְּשׁוּקַת teshuka, translated «desire» and in the Septuagint as ἀποστροφή «shelter» is obscure in its origin. It occurs three times in the Bible. The first is in the account of the wife’s desire for her husband. Little is clear to us here. 

The second time it is mentioned in the Song of Songs: “I belong to my friend, and to me his desire תְּשׁוּקַת is directed” (Song 7:11). There is clearly a poetic trick here that tells us of the great power of the attraction, but no more.

And the third example is when God explains to Cain the situation in which he finds himself and what to do about it: «sin is crouching at the door; and its desire תְּשׁוּקַת is for you, but you must master it» (Gen.4:6,7).

Anyone familiar with the text of the Bible would feel something absurd in this passage. It is not in the true language of the first chapters of Genesis that “sin is crouching at the door“. Such phrases are typical for much later times. If we follow the context of the first chapters of Genesis, only a personality could “crouch at the door”. This crouching personality may only be the Serpent-Satan, the one whom God deprived of his feet and who crawls on his belly.

Here is what the Septuagint, a translation from an earlier Hebrew Torah text, tells us: God tells Cain that he sinned by wrongly dividing the sacrifice. There is no mention of sin at the door at all. But immediately God teaches: “his desire ἀποστροφή (translation of תְּשׁוּקַת) is for you, and you will rule άρχω (dominate, rule) him“.

Who is “his”? “He” is the devil-serpent. He is the devil who has a strong desire תְּשׁוּקַת for man, and man can rule over him. Here God is retelling again his commandment which He gave to man immediately after the Fall of man: “The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life; And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel” (Gen. 3 :14,15).

The devil, as prince, archonte of the cosmos, ruler of the material world, who literally eats matter – “eats dust“, can influence man via material things. But man receives the power to smash the devil in the head. The head is the element of control and at the same time the devil’s weak point. Man can, through right thoughts, words, and actions, repel and cast out the devil. The devil tempts the material in man («bruise on the heel»), but man can control his material part. Man is not an animal, and the flesh has no power over him. And by waging a mental battle – man can defeat the devil.

And so God says to Cain – do not give in to temptations from the devil, but strike him with a mental battle, lift your eyes from the earth, matter – to the Heaven, to the spirit. And so you will be able to keep the devil on a leash like a dog. All his bites in the heel will be nothing to you. Cain, unfortunately, did not listen to God and became a Satanist.

All these stories, like the elements of a mosaic, add up to a single picture. The devil envies God and realizes his envy in the struggle against God’s favorite child – man. The devil’s hatred of man is blind and in spite of its high cunning, strategically the devil’s hatred is insane, for he dared to tempt even Christ himself. Furthermore, in this hatred the devil is firmly attached to man, the devil needs man and man does not need the devil. The devil can tempt man, but the devil has no power over man unless man wants it. But man can have power over the devil.

This colossal dependence of the devil on man will eventually lead the devil to defeat. The devil was so eager to get Christ as a man into Hell that he got his way, but Christ-God descended into Hell. The walls of Hell could not withstand it and collapsed – and the people condemned to the devil’s Hell were saved. The enormous power of the devil’s desire תְּשׁוּקַת teshuka to man, outweighed all rational arguments.

Such is this desire תְּשׁוּקַת. So, what are the characteristics of this desire תְּשׁוּקַת teshuka:

The desire/teshuka is irrational, and one who is subject to this teshuka cannot rationally control it. On the other hand, one who can act rationally and can control his thoughts and actions, can dominate and control one who is prone to this irrational teshuka.

The devil desires (teshuka) a man, and a man can rationally control him. A woman desires (teshuka) a man, and a man can rule over her in the same way with his mind.

The desire/teshuka is very strong, and the one who has it cannot overcome it in any way. Moreover, this desire cannot be replaced by anything else. The devil cannot stop, or at least reduce his desire (teshuka) for man. The devil is not interested in anything in this world except the destruction of man.

Similarly, a woman cannot stop or control her desire for a man. On the other hand, a woman can do nothing else to replace the object of her main interest. Whatever a woman does is a form of desire for a man. Note that desire/teshuka cannot be compared to instinct. The instinct can be controlled by the mind, even a woman can do this. Besides, in many cases, the instinct can be sublimated into something else. The desire/teshuka is irreplaceable and uncontrollable.

Even the maternal instinct cannot replace a woman’s desire/teshuka for a man. At one time there was a popular idea that the essence of a woman is sexuality and childbearing. This is, by the way, a common view among many Christians. But this is a mistake: the essence of a woman is not childbearing, but to be with her husband. That takes precedence over childbearing.

Plenty of women destroy their families and the life of children becomes unbearable, but children will never be a deterrent for women. On the other hand, a lot of rich divorced women with children look for and keep alphonists, and if they don’t find them, they suffer a lot and even a child can’t completely comfort them. Once again, the essence of a woman is her desire/teshuka for a man, and children are just a nice addition to that.

The desire/teshuka is unidirectional, or in other words, monogamous. A woman can only be interested in one man. The most important characteristic of desire/teshuka, as we have already mentioned, is its great strength. If a woman gets involved with several men at the same time, it means that the woman has no desire/teshuka at all. Men, on the other hand, in the early stages of the Jewish people were allowed to have several wives and concubines, mainly to maximize childbearing. A man with his rationality (well, and if he had money) could operate several women but only his lawful wives and concubines. Over time, however, monogamy became mandatory for men as well, as it was originally intended by God. But for women polygamy was strictly forbidden, equated with adultery and punishable by death.

Finally, the desire/teshuka is not a primitive mechanism, but a very complex and multifaceted process that takes many forms and shades, but fundamentally has the same essence. The devil and his intrigues take many forms, to the point that the devil can appear as Christ. A woman’s desire/teshuka for a man also takes many forms, from makeup and clothing to sex and childbearing.

A woman, not only sexually, but ontologically desires for her husband, in her husband is her existential need founded in creation. But at the Creation this was established as a potential, but not as an obligatory fulfillment. The relationship between the sexes was supposed to be through free love (not to be confused with “free love” – debauchery), not through desire, instinct or something similar. But when, because of sin, love weakened, the potential was elevated to a rigid, voluminous, existential super-instinct – desire/teshuka.

It is interesting, from the height of Christianity and several millennia of history, how apostles Paul and Peter view the problem of the relationship between the sexes:

«But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head. But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved. For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head. For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake. Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. However, in the Lord, neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God. Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?» (1Cor. 11:3-13).

«The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church» (1Cor. 14:34-35).

«In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior. Your adornment must not be merely external–braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands; just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear. You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered» (1Pt.3:1-7).

On the one hand, it affirms the equality of man and woman before God, both ethically and ontologically (both men and women are equally valuable and beloved to God, who are also equally responsible before God) and by grace – women can also have spiritual gifts (e.g., prophecy). In addition, both men and women can assist each other in salvation.

But on the other hand, the ancient principle of the supremacy of man over his woman and the unconditional superiority of male authority has been postulated since Adam’s time. In both domestic and religious life, the husband is enjoined to love his wife and not to abuse his authority. The only exception to this rule is the question of the acceptance of Christianity:

«But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her. And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace» (1Cor. 7:12-15).

No patriarchal authority can be used for the personal faith of family members (as was common in antiquity), moreover, if a religious conflict in the family becomes a cause for divorce, such divorce is permitted, although in general the New Testament has a very negative attitude toward divorce.

In view of the expectation of the first Christians for the imminent return of Christ, Paul says that since the time is near, we should not waste our time and strength on family relationships, but remain unmarried and prepare for the end of the world. However, Paul says that this is his personal recommendation, not a commandment received from God.

But most importantly, the New Testament unequivocally affirms the religious necessity of a wife’s submission to her husband: «Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ». First, it speaks of everyone – that is, without exception. Second, the relationship of wife and husband must be as the husband’s relationship to Christ, and they in turn as Christ’s relationship to God the Father. Christ fully obeys the Father, and they love one another–the family relationship accordingly must be similar.

It is clear that such a high level of relationship is very difficult to achieve in practice. Therefore, questions have naturally arisen – since it is so difficult, maybe we should not marry at all: «The disciples said to Him, “If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry.” But He said to them, ” Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given. “For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it”» (Mattw 19:10-12).

One must understand the context of this saying. According to the spirit and the letter of the Tanakh, as well as the centuries-old tradition of the ancient Jews, – marriage and childbearing were obligatory for both men and women. The unmarried were seen as flawed and the childless as punished by God. Unmarried men could not hold certain positions, and unmarried women (except widows) were often perceived as prostitutes. At certain points in history polygamy and the institution of concubines were practiced, but even for concubines the Law protected their rights.

When Christ set the bar high for marriage, it was thought among his disciples to give up marriage entirely. But Christ stipulated that marriage can be refused only in two cases: physical incapacity for sexual life (as a result of illness or forced castration) and when a person voluntarily gives up marriage to serve God (as Christ and some of his followers actually did) and only if one «to whom it has been given», that is, if one has spiritual strength and a calling for it. In all other cases, marriage is compulsory: «For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh» (Genesis 2:24). Even Paul says that widows who do not have the capacity to live a virgin life for God must marry.

No one diminishes the significance of woman in the Bible, for when God comes into the world He will come through the birth of a woman, and He will not ask for the consent of a man but of a woman.

III. The practical realization of a woman’s desire/teshuka for her husband

The woman’s desire/teshuka for the convenience of consideration we shall divide into three aspects:

Femininity as the pursuit of her mission;

A woman’s choice of her husband;

The wife’s relationship with her husband.

As a consequence of sin, the woman, like the man, has become corrupt. In the first place, the man’s head, his ability to think properly and wage mental battle with the devil, is corrupted. First of all, in the woman, her desire/teshuka for her husband became corrupted. The devil, knowing that he will antagonize the woman’s offspring, strikes at the woman’s desire/teshuka for the man and thereby diminishes the woman’s chances of having good offspring. The three aspects of desire/teshuka mentioned above are accordingly corrupted as well. Many women make the wrong choices about their femininity, the wrong choice of husband, and the wrong relationship with that man.

A woman who has problems with at least one of these aspects of desire/teshuka for a man (desire/teshuka is the essence of life and the purpose of women) is defective. A woman can be an excellent scientist, politician, businessman, but in her essence she is worthless.

So, the first aspect. Femininity as the pursuit of mission established by God.

From the above we draw an important conclusion: if a man or woman refuses to marry, not because of mutilation, not because of failure in finding a mate, or not for the service of God, or if the marriage does not honor the principles “her desire for her husband” and “her husband is the head,” then it is a grave sin, like a breaking of the relationship between man and God.

From this a crucial consequence emerges. Since a woman’s desire/teshuka for a man is incredibly strong and transcends all rationality and instinct, when a woman avoids or perverts her desire/teshuka for a man and her submission to him, it is equivalent to rejection of God. That is, it is a feminine form of the Cainian sin, that is, of Satanism. In what forms can this rejection take place?

1. Explicit or implicit rejection of the true God and religious service to other gods or to the devil himself, whether in the form of priesthood, witchcraft, temple prostitution or virginity.

2. Conscious or unconscious avoidance of patriarchal marriage: feminists, Child Free, lesbians, transvestites, etc.

3. Prostitution.

4. Any female ambition to the detriment of family life. Even a married woman’s desire to serve God to the detriment of her family is sinful.

5. Wish in marriage to dominate her husband.

6. Marital infidelity.

It is important to note that women also have developed intellect, they are not stupider than men, but when it comes to relationships with men, women’s intellect loses its priority. A male can and should always be guided by intellect and nothing should take precedence over his intellect. Male Satanism is the deliberate rejection of God.

Female Satanism is the suppression or perversion of her desire/teshuka for a man. All cases of suppression and perversion of desire for a man result only in the imitative replacement of the husband with another “fiancé”: a lover, a client or a demon. Before the Flood, the Cainite women, following the Satanist men, also became Satanists: they rejected the desire/teshuka for a husband and replaced it with a desire/teshuka for demons – thus began the era of the Nephilim. Paganism practiced temple prostitution or vice versa – temple virginity, when a woman directed her desire/teshuka to some god instead of a man. In the “Middle Ages,” witches were accused of being attracted to the devil. A coven involved ritual or real intercourse with the devil and the sacrifice of the witches’ children to him.

Note that the perversion or suppression of a woman’s desire/teshuka for a man is fundamentally irrational on some deep, poorly understood level. A woman becomes a feminist not because she has read a lot of feminist literature, but because her deeper essence in the form of a desire/teshuka for a man is severely damaged. And she only shapes this damage into feminism, or witchcraft, or prostitution, or whoring, etc.

So, the first stage of the realization of desire/teshuka in a woman is the affirmation or rejection of the direction of life determined by God. It is either desire/teshuka for a man and God or desire/teshuka for the devil and his demons. If a woman’s vector of desire/teshuka is misdirected, it is a nightmare. It’s hard to even call such a creature a woman. And it doesn’t matter that she is a feminist or a Cainite or a witch – these are essentially the same thing.

This is the first aspect of the female desire/teshuka. So let’s say a woman has the right vector of desire/teshuka and stops at being attracted to a man. What’s next?

The second aspect. A woman’s choice of a particular man-husband.

This choice also occurs irrationally. Why a woman chooses this or that man cannot be rationally explained. A woman loves and that’s it.

The typical story is that a beautiful girl is courted by men. They are intelligent, not poor, prominent men, but she chooses a scumbag, a drunkard, a drug addict, a psychopath, an alphonse, a beggar. And no matter what you tell a woman, she will not change her choice.

Contrary to popular belief, a man chooses a woman very rationally. He chooses a beautiful woman. A woman’s beauty is her physical ability to childbirth. A beautiful ass, boobs, etc. are attributes of good childbearing function. A man chooses the body best suited for carrying, giving birth, and nursing a child.

If you ask a woman, she will also say that she chooses the man best suited to protect and financially support a family and child. Every woman dreams of a prince: smart, handsome, strong, rich, with status in society, etc., and this is quite a rational and correct choice. But in reality a woman makes an irrational choice, and if her desire/teshuka mechanism is damaged, between a real prince and an asshole she will choose an asshole.

The question arises – can a woman choose her husband rationally rather than by desire/teshuka? Yes she can. Any woman, especially a “clever woman”, can rationally choose a husband with good characteristics. This is especially common when a woman has been unable to start relationship by desire/teshuka for a long time, or if the woman consciously only wants to use the man to achieve her mercantile goals.

But if a woman is not attracted to a man by desire/teshuka, she will not love him. This is the most important thing a man should know about a woman. If a woman chooses a man solely on intelligence, then she will not be able to love him, but only to play a role (demo-version) of love that cannot be played for long. Hence the most important rule for men – you can’t woo a woman you like too zealously. If a woman falls in love with an suitor by desire/teshuka – then she will do everything to be with him. But if you push hard to win her, to seduce with your qualities of a prince, a woman can decide to start a relationship not on the desire/teshuka, but on a rational estimates. And this is a disaster for a man, because unlike men, women cannot build family relationships based on rational estimates. A harmonious family is possible only on the basis of a woman’s desire/teshuka. And here we come to the third aspect.

The third aspect. The relationship with the husband in marriage.

For experienced men know that 90 percent of the relationship from dating to married life is a woman’s mission. And these relations are not rational. Women behave with men as if intuitively, that is, by desire/teshuka. Of course, clever women know how to behave with a man, but if they have problems with the mechanisms of desire/teshuka, then this knowledge cannot be realized in a real relationship.

If a woman has chosen her husband solely of convenience, then even if she manages the relationship correctly, “by reason,” nothing will work out and the family will be unhappy.

That is, if a women does not behave in the right way with her heart, by desire/teshuka, then no knowledge, no experience will help her. If the mechanism of desire/teshuka in the relationship is broken, the relationship is broken. And there’s no point in waiting for her to wise up, to gain experience. No, if a woman is trashy, then it’s over.

If a woman is normal in her desire/teshuka, she will be normal in everything. And no influence of the mother, upbringing, environment plays a radical role here. But if a woman is naturally crappy in her desire/teshuka, then nothing will help her to become better. It’s like with music, art and other talents – if there is a talent, teachers and mentors will only help it develop, and if there is no talent – teaching will do nothing.

Why is one woman born trash, and the other born good? Why are there two sisters in the same family: one good and the other bitchy? Sin has damaged everything very deeply, and some kind of malfunction is going on at some deep, mystical, spiritual levels. Women are already born that way. These women with damaged desire/teshuka are genuinely pitied. The trouble is that such women are in the majority, which means that the chances of a man having a good family life are very low.

IV. The Patriarchy as the Only Solution

It is no secret that more than half of all marriages break up, and half of those that do not break up are unhappy. The reason for this is that sin has damaged the woman’s mechanism of desire/teshuka, and there is no way to fix it. Probably worthless women are like that from birth. Also, it is often not possible to quickly identify a worthless woman. A trashy woman with damaged desire/teshuka can play the demo-version of a good wife for several years as an actress. But that role/ demo-version is bound to end, and the family is in trouble.

But if a man can neither in time recognize a worthless woman nor change that woman for the better, he can use his power and authority over her. In order to somehow reduce the destructive impact on the family of a worthless woman, God gave man power over the woman and enabled men to establish a patriarchal order. In this order, the woman is placed in a rigid framework so that if her desire/teshuka is damaged, it is possible to protect the family from disaster and to allow the lineage to continue.

The basic principles of patriarchy:

Regarding the first aspect of desire/teshuka there were severe laws against female satanism and witchcraft. Witches were to be killed. Women were also punished by death for cheating on their husbands, and prostitutes were not considered human beings. Also, women were restricted in religion, politics, business, creativity, etc.

Regarding the second aspect, the father’s consent was obligatory in choosing a groom for his daughter. If the groom did not pass the father’s selection, if he was worthless, the father would not give his consent to the marriage, no matter what the daughter wanted. In general, the ideal patriarchal matchmaking takes place in two stages. When the bridegrooms are proposed to a girl, then at first these grooms pass the first stage of selection – the selection by the father of the fiancee to see whether they can become a worthy patriarch of the family. And then the selected worthy grooms are presented to the fiancee, who is asked if she feels desire/teshuka for this or that groom. If the father of the fiancee approves of the groom, and then the fiancee herself agrees to marry that groom, then the matchmaking took place.

Regarding the third aspect, there was a clear division of rights and responsibilities in the family: authority and responsibility in the family was vested in the husband, and women were severely punished for malicious disobedience.

It is clear that such a system did not bring happiness to a family in which the wife was worthless, but it also protected the family from great misery.

The patriarchy is the practical realization of God’s commandment to fallen people: the husband is to rule over his wife and the wife is to obey him. It is the only chance for a bearable family life after being cast out of Paradise. Is that a good thing? Of course it is not good. It is not good to be expelled from Paradise, it is not good to work hard for a pittance. But there is no other way – these are all bitter pills to cure sinfulness. Only by going through these trials, mankind could grow to the point of accepting Christ the Savior.

The patriarchy can be compared to a chain for a dog. If the dog knows its master, the chain does not prevent it from loving the master, but if the dog does not accept the master, the chain will prevent it from attacking and biting the master and his children. The owner in this case will not get affection and gratitude, but at least he will not be bitten. It is the same with women. Patriarchy does not prevent a woman from loving her husband, it even helps to give birth and bring up children, but if it turns out that desire/teshuka and love of a woman is not enough, patriarchy protects her husband, children and family from destructive activity of a worthless woman.

It should be remembered that apart from restrictions, patriarchy gives a woman many bonuses in the form of care and maintenance by her husband, but for some reason this is less talked about. A woman has fewer rights but also fewer responsibilities.

Patriarchy is a complex phenomenon that not only restricts the woman in her destructiveness, but also imposes a great burden on the man. In patriarchy, a man must be not just a husband, but a patriarch. He must be responsible for the family, leading the family in matters of economy and religious life. Decision-making is the most important responsibility of the patriarch husband. A man must be active and authoritative, but power must not degenerate into complacency and tyranny. And this is all very difficult. Not all men can do it. Isaac’s patriarchal mistakes and Jacob’s self-abandonment of patriarchal responsibilities led to the increasing role of women, the collapse of the family, and Egyptian slavery.

V. Matriarchy as a tool of Satan

The trouble is that in today’s world his Prince not only spoils the desire/teshuka of women, but also breaks the patriarchal system. Matriarchy is an ancient weapon of the devil. Men can tie the devil down like a dog and prevent the matriarchy from being established, but men themselves have sinned and degraded so much that they have stopped resisting the devil and allowed him to dismantle the patriarchy. The first thing Satanists do is to emancipate women. Matriarchy is a sign of the decadence of man and the power of the devil over him. Under such conditions it is very difficult to save the family. For the patriarchal mechanisms can no longer compensate for the failure of women’s desire/teshuka.

The devil has destroyed the patriarchy and thereby killed most of the possibilities for a normal family life, as this is the only fuse and protection of the family. The devil destroys the family because it is the last refuge of the personality in pre-apocalyptic times.

Under the present circumstances, the only chance for a good family is to ask God to send a good loving wife, because if the wife turns out to be a trashy woman, there is no patriarchy as a family protection to neutralize her destructiveness.

One can and should try to examine a woman rationally to determine if she is worthless. But the only reliable indicator of worthless women is to look at the history of her relationships with men. For example, try to find out if she’s a witch or if she’s prostituted herself. It is also obvious that if a woman is divorced, it means that the woman cannot have desire/teshuka for a suitable man, much less establish a normal family relationship with her husband. But this approach only works for women who are no longer young. But if you see a young angel in a miniskirt without much of a history? Appearances can be deceiving – in more than half of the cases, this angel is a bitch who will ruin the life of her husband, herself and children. But you won’t be able to recognize her quickly.

It is naive to think that it will be possible to bring back the biblical patriarchy. It is no longer possible, because the world is coming to an end, and the breakdown of the family is one of the symptoms of that movement – there is no going back. What is there to do? Hope to God that He will send a good wife and help in the marriage life, only He can do that.

The most important topic of the biblical anthropology is description of the divine dignity of man. Being violated by the fall of man, the divine dignity of man will not only be healed of sin, but also significantly increased by means of the Incarnation of God.
In Antiquity, the concept of man as a microcosm was popular. They say that everything that exists is a large space – a macrocosm, and man is a small analog of this space – a microcosm.

In the biblical picture of the world, everything is diametrically opposite. Man is the only creature like Yahweh. Therefore, all creation, the whole world, all material and immaterial, heavenly creatures (angels), are negligible in comparison with man. Man was given the possession and control of the entire world. Also, man received not only the right, but the obligation to command the angelic entities if they invade the world.
Christians like to talk about the abyss between God and man, but in fact man is much closer to God than anything else. And after the Incarnation of Christ, humanity received the possibility of an unimpeded union with God.
This is the most important thing that the Bible tells us about man. Such a high dignity of man has quite clear consequences. For us, the inhabitants of the apocalyptic times, when people are trying to be changed themselves and fit into the digital networked concentration camp of the Beast, it is important to find out what biblical anthropology has to say about it.
Man can influence the nature of all material creation except himself. The essence of man is the image and likeness of God. Therefore, all attempts to change man, improve man, create a new man are always the same: attempts to belittle the image of God in a man. To change man is to oppose God, this is fighting against God. All attempts to “improve” man, even at the level of DNA (époque of Nephilim), or at the level of consciousness (Babylon pandemonium), or at the level of transpersonalism (the Beast) – makes a man worse.
In all attempts to influence and change man, his humanity is an unconditional dominant.

Adam was formed of clay by God. Eve was made by God of the “human material” of Adam. But what about all the other people who will appear in the future? They will be born by women. This is what the Bible says: “And the LORD God said unto the serpent… And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee… And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living” (Gen3: 14-20).

This is a rather strange text, but it holds the key to many of the enigmas of the biblical anthropology. In this text a new mission for woman is given – to give birth and her Offspring will ultimately smite the devil. It is important to note that all people will be the offspring of woman: “Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living”. In the Bible, the term “man” is sometimes directly replaced by the phrase “born of women” (Matthew 11:11).

As you know, for the birth of a child by a woman, a man is also needed. Actually, this is what happened immediately after the expulsion from the paradise: “Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain” (Gen4:1). Moreover, we know about the extremely patriarchal character of the Biblical worldview: “thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee”. In most Biblical mentions of the birth of children, the father gives birth to the child, and the mother is not even mentioned: “Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren” (Mat1:2).
But men in the text Genesis 3:14-20 are not mentioned at all! And it is not accident. In most cases, women give birth with men. But we know that women can give birth not only with men. Women gave birth with angels: “There were giants (Nephilim) in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown” (Gen6:4), and also one woman even gave birth with Yahweh. In these cases, when a woman gives birth not with a man, then whom does she give birth to? She gives birth to man, people. In the Bible hybrids with angels – Nephilim are called “men” אִישׁ, human male. Likewise, Christ, being God is also fully Man!
God has laid the most powerful force into a woman – to preserve human nature and, accordingly, the divine dignity of man. And via the woman God – Christ saved people. There is no force, which can this damage.
So, there are the two most important conclusions for us:

1. All people are born exclusively by woman. Even God Himself became human purely through the birth by a woman. What is not born by a woman – is not man.
2. Everything that a woman gives birth to, no matter how and with whom, is man.

Thus, the Bible tells us that outside of a birth by a woman (or maybe also of a woman egg cell) people are not possible. Then, outside of birth by a woman also the basic human features such as consciousness and intelligence do not exist. No “artificial intelligence” is possible.
If a woman (or at least a woman egg cell) does give birth to something modified – this something modified is man. If a man is modified by something after the birth by woman (an implant, or any “vaccine”, for example) he is still man. The power of the divine in any man is such that a human person is unconditionally dominant, no matter how he is changed and modified. Thus, all mutants, all something modified retain their humanity like other people. There is no force that can break the divine potential of man and monopoly of giving birth by woman (or at least a woman egg cell).  

Any attempt to change the human nature or even to form a new man is blasphemy. God created man, so man does not have the right to modify himself. Moreover, man is the image and likeness of God. To improve, modify or rebuild the image of God is madness. All the satanic ideas from Nephilim and builders of the Babylon tower to Marxism and transpersonalism propose their project of a “new man”. However no modifications can radically change man. Man cannot change his nature as he wants. Man can only himself, freely and voluntarily refuse to fulfill his divine potential and TRY to diminish his divinity and thus oppose, blasphemes God. Accordingly, he will bear responsibility for it before the Judgment of God.

We have two main estimates from the biblical point of view concerning the Covid pandemic, Covid-fascism, mass vaccination, Covid-passports and Covid-segregation.

The First. All the covid events are based on total lie and falsehood. All what is said to us about the origin of the virus, about the rationale of masks and lockdowns, about the statistics of disease and mortality, about the “vaccines”, their effectiveness and safety, about justification of Covid fascism, segregation and total control, – all is lie and falsification. With the help of this lie and informational terror, it was made a virtual “pandemic” and simulation of the atmosphere of fear. Christians know that the father of lie is devil. So, the origin of the Corona-crisis is Satan and his servants.

The second. The plot, images and symbols of the Corona-crisis are very similar to the events of Chapter 13 of the Apocalypse. The Corona-crisis is still not the story of the Beast and False prophet; however this is very important biblical argument for the Christian estimation of the “pandemic” as a satanic performance.

The Christians should estimate this Corona-sabbat based on the Bible. They should unveil and avoid the Covid spectacle and “vaccination”. Unfortunately, majority of Christians and almost all the Christian leaders and thinkers not only accepted and maintained the Covid spectacle, but became managers of this satanic sabbat.

The Christians who rejected the Corona-spectacle and “vaccination”, however substantiate their standpoint on the medical, biological, economical, statistical, psychological, political, legal arguments. They mostly tell us about low efficiency and side effects of vaccines for Covid. It is the lack of proper biblical, theological arguments, which would have to be the main arguments for Christians.

In this work we will concern the biblical point of view on the Corona-crisis.

Apocalyptic parallels with the Covid “pandemic”

As we noticed in our work “The Covid pandemic as a religious phenomenon” this “pandemic” is a simulation of the reality and based on lie. At the same time, it looks like a misteria of some religion.  What kind of religion is this? The answer is easy: the father of lie is devil – so the “Covid religion” is a satanic religion.

The Corona-crisis is also one of the first global events since the Babylonian pandemonium that affects everyone. Are events global or local, it is the most important key to understand the Bible history, especially the Apocalypse (see “The structure of Apocalypse”).

So we see main features of the Covid “pandemic”: global, total, religious, satanic. According to the Apocalypse of John, the époque of the Beast has the similar features. Of course, the Corona-crisis is not as severe, total, and terrible as the events of the Beast of Apocalypse.

However, the Corona-crisis is a unique event, the first in a series of others, which is the prototype of the events of the era of the Beast. This is a clear sign of the beginning of the Last Times, a sign of approaching of the Beast (which, according to our version of apocalyptic chronology, should come at the end of the XXI century, see “An Attempt of Reconstruction of the Chronology of Christian Era”)

Let’s compare the era of the Beast and the Covid “pandemic”:

The Beast	The Covid “pandemic”
Religious character – the Beast need to be religiously worshiped	Proto-religious character – we have analyzed this issue in detail in “The Covid pandemic as a religious phenomenon”
Global character – the event concerns everyone: “both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond”.	One of the first global event in the human history. Almost no one could avoid its impact.
Devilish character – the event is based on lie and fear	Devilish character – the event is based on lie and fear
The hard fascist character – the demand for the subordination for everyone. The dissenters are being severe persecuted: “no man might buy or sell”, “as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed”.	The light fascist character – the demand of the subordination for everyone. The rights of dissenters are being restricted.
Public character of obedience – this subordination also must take place in the form of a public ritual by the receipt of the mark of the Beast.	Public character of obedience – this subordination also must be manifested in the form of a public ritual by wearing masks or Covid-passports.
Bodily character – submission and receipt of the stigma/mark of the Beast requires penetration into the body (prick, chip) “receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads”	Bodily character – submission requires penetration into the body by means of “vaccination”.
Digital character – the mark of the Beast contains the number 666.	Digital character – the Covid- passports contain a QR-code, which has the features of the number 666.
The split of the humanity – the majority worships the Beast, receives its mark with the number 666 and the minority rejects. Both groups have their own leaders.	The split of the humanity – the majority believes in the Covid “pandemic”, receives “vaccines” with the Covid- passports and the minority rejects. Both groups have their own leaders.
The God sends the very severe last plagues on the people who received the mark of the Beast (Rev 16).	The God sends plagues on the people who are believers of the Covid “pandemic” and received the “vaccines” with QR-codes.  These plagues are not so severe, but they are similar to the plagues from (Rev 16)

We see that the Covid “pandemic” is similar to the events of Chapter 13 of Apocalypse. We suggest that the Covid “pandemic” is the artificial prototype of the events of the Beast, which aim is to train the humanity to worship, to obey the Beast, and to accept the mark of the Beast. Moreover, this is one of series of such prototypes and trainings. Knowing the current state of the Corona-crisis and the story in the Apocalypse, we can determine the direction of development of such campaigns until the very times of the Beast.

Besides these, let’s consider the three questions in detail.

Why do they carry out mass injection of people?

There are popular explanations: to reduce the population of humankind; to enlarge the income of the “big pharma”; to make people depend on non-stop vaccination; etc.

However, we will pay attention to the essence. All these goals can be achieved by completely different methods than injections. But what goals can only be achieved by actions like mass vaccination?

The main idea of the mass campaigns of injection unknown substance into people’s bodies is to teach, to habituate people to give open access to their bodies for nonmedical reason. From ancient times, any penetration into a human body has been allowed only for two reasons: medicine and beauty, and it was private, nonpublic, intimate matter.

The Corona-crisis opens the “Overton window” for free access into bodies, not only for medical, but also for political, economic, technical and religious reasons. One needs “vaccination” to be allowed to travel, to go to fitness halls, to go to work, etc. Only “fully vaccinated” catholic can attend the Mass with the Pope.

The next main reason of “Covid vaccination” is to adapt people for the rigorous juridical and digital documenting of each injection and implantation into the body, and on the other side, to show openly these documents.

Obviously, the next step could be the mass compulsory implantation of nano-particles or chips into the body. One can see that such activity is also prototype and preparation the humanity to receive the mark of the Beast.

We have to notice an important indication. According to the Revelation, the Beast will mark his worshipers. And those who will refuse to worship the Beast will not receive the mark 666.

In view of reason – criminals, pariahs, dissidents, rebels, public enemies have to be marked (as German Nazis marked the Jews with yellow stars); but law-abiding citizens have to be released from any marks. However, Satan always mocks his followers and worshipers – he marks them with a stigma as second-class people, criminals or cattle, and those who will refuse to worship the Beast will not receive this stigma.

The same situation we see during the Covid “vaccination”. In view of reason, it is necessary to mark covid-dissidents, “antivaxxers”, “irresponsible”. However, managers of the current Corona-crisis operate as the Beast and the False Prophet in chapter 13 of Apocalypse. They marked with the QR-codes exactly the “vaccinated” people.

Covid dissidents as a prototype of the last prophets of the Apocalypse

Now we have a religious split of the humanity based on attitude towards the Corona-crisis and injections. There are the two commensurable parties: “vaxxers” and “antivaxxers”.  Further, such splits will deepen, and the quantitative ratio of the parties will shift in favor of those, who adopt the satanic agenda. There will be fewer and fewer dissidents, opponents, and faithful to God people.

It is important to note the complete consensus concerning Covid “pandemic” and vaccination of all significant world elites and the establishment: politicians, businesspersons, pop stars, religion leaders – almost none of the significant figures oppose covid-madness. This is another similarity of events from the Apocalypse, when all the kingdoms, that is, all the elites and leaders, without exception, will worship the Beast.

This situation has led to an important sociological and cultural phenomenon. Since there was no original elite among “antivaxxers”, a new, a spiritual elite is beginning to form. The basis for such a formation is the community of Internet-bloggers, who, having developed their revealing activities, have become opinion-leaders and focal points of the collective consciousness of covid-dissidence. Of course, there have always been conspiracy theorists and dissidents. Nevertheless, right now, for the first time, a truly apocalyptic transition has occurred. For the first time, on the one hand, the global evil and absolute lie appear, and on the other, it is opposed by a front of large and small fighters for the truth. Despite cultural differences, this group of people was able to develop a common agenda, from the following three basic points:

• The Covid “pandemic” is based on lie;
• The Covid “pandemic” is a tool for enslaving people;
• Vaccination and Covid-passports is evil and must be avoided.

There are probably several hundred (no more than a thousand) such bloggers all over the world, but they managed to do a great job. Despite all the power of the world rulers, a handful of dissident-bloggers was able to convey an alternative agenda to all of humanity: regardless of the situation, everyone in the world knows that there is an alternative point of view on coronavirus and vaccination. Since the times of Enoch and Noah, for the first time, the World’s global front of war was formed between the adherents of lie (and its father – the devil) and those who hunger for the truth. The modern covid-dissident movement is a prototype (far from the last) of the future great spiritual confrontation between the Beast and the two last prophets.

In the time of the Beast, there will be a deep division in humanity. The majority of the world’s population and the entire elite will worship the Beast and accept his mark 666. This elite will be headed by the Second Beast – the False prophet\Antichrist and his minions. However, there will also be people faithful to God who do not want to accept the Beast and his stigma. And these people will have their own leaders – two witnesses and prophets of God:

«And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will» (Rev11:3-6).

Why two? Because two is the minimal number of witnesses. The times will come when the Beast will gradually scare and shut up almost all dissidents and opinion-leaders. The number of alternative opinion leaders will gradually decrease. In the times of the Beast only the two witnesses of the Truth will remain. Although their number will decrease, their quality will increase: «where sin abounded, grace did much more abound» (Rom. 5:20). And at the end of this war, the last active leaders of dissidents will not be some “Internet hamsters”, but the prophets of God who will be given the great power.

Current climatic disasters and side effects of mass vaccination as prototypes of the last seven plagues of the Apocalypse

Few will listen to these prophets, and the Beast will defeat and kill them. There will be a short triumph of the Beast, but then the seven plagues will come. God will pour out the sufferings on those, who worship the Beast and receive his stigma. The purpose of these executions is to call to repentance, but unfortunately, no one will see the light.

Since the current mass “vaccination” is a prototype of accepting the mark of the Beast, then we need to realize that we are gradually becoming witnesses of the prototype of those last plagues. This means that adepts of the Corona-crisis and who have accepted vaccination and Covid-passports will suffer from the executions similar to the last seven plagues from the Apocalypse.

Reading the description of the last plagues, we will see prototypes of them in our time: diseases, earthquakes, fires, climatic and industrial catastrophes. Even water in some lakes suddenly turned red.

This, of course, always used to happen, but in recent years the number of such cases has been increasing – God lets people know: «God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap» (Gal 6:7). 

«And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshiped his image. And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory» (Rev16:1-9).

The first execution is disease for those who have accepted the stigma. Therefore, do not doubt that the “side effects” of injections are not a biochemical phenomenon, but a prototype of the plagues from God, who «hath power over these plagues». The next executions – climatic and ecological, are also prototypes of the plagues from God.

It is necessary to clearly realize that both the side effects from the covid-vaccination and the current climatic\ecological catastrophes are the sufferings sent by God to admonish the adepts of the Covid-madness. In the days of the Beast, the mad people will not repent and will blaspheme God. Probably, most of the adepts of the covid-madness also will not understand, and will blaspheme God.

But what does it mean to blaspheme? According to the Bible, it means to reject the God and make oneself equal to God. Suffering from diseases and climate catastrophes will not turn them to God, but they “as gods” will decide that they can solve all the problems by themselves. They will not repent, but try to heal their diseases with the next dose of “vaccine”, they will explain climate change by CO2 emissions, and proclaim to reduce emissions, etc.

In this situation, dissenting bloggers also need to start explaining the true reasons for the troubles that will happen to people; maybe some of them will repent…

The biblical books, which are mainly dedicated for the description the devil’s incarnations: the book of Job, the book of Daniel and Apocalypse of John contain many bright images. This is not typical for the Bible tradition. Why these books were written as cartoons?

There is a naive notion that during the last times, the devil comes with horns and hooves, Antichrist will have long nails and will be dressed in black. However it is not so. Antichrist and the Beast 666 will look attractive, not fearful, so they will seduce almost the whole humankind and only few of people could recognize them as incarnations of Satan.

According to the Bible, the Beast of Apocalypse 666 will be a mix of the informational computerized network, the global totalitarian state and the religion (see our work “The Bible about the Beast”).

We have been witnessing for a long time a development of informational total control, ideas of the global government. But what about a religious component? We suppose the theory that today’s pandemic crisis is one of the first manifestations of a new form of religion.

The pandemic of coronavirus SARS COVID-2019 is a very unclear and bizarre phenomenon. At the first blush it is a medical and biological event, which influences on the whole world.

Passing by the name of “COVID pandemic”, this phenomenon is divided into two realities.

The one, the “small reality”, contains the real viruses, the real illnesses, the real ill people, the therapy and drugs. Nobody pays attention to this small but true reality.

And the other, the “big reality” which looks like a deceptive global spectacle and is called “Battle with pandemic”. It contains false statistics, aggressive propaganda, fomentation of fear, useless quarantines, lockdowns, restrictions of human rights, destruction of business, total surveillance, harmful vaccines. This COVID spectacle is formally justified by the pandemic but it has nothing common with the real illness and the ill people and achieves some absolutely different aims.

Conspiracy theorists have already found some interpretations of this performance:

The Economical – “the battle with pandemic” has to reset financial system of the world and decline the consuming.

The Social – to build socialistic society of total control.

The Political – to build the new world order.

The Apocalyptical – there are evident parallels between vaccination and COVID-passports and adoption of the Antichrist’s seal. So, the COVID spectacle may be a training, rehearsal of the future events from the 13^th chapter of Apocalypse.   

All these interpretation of the COVID spectacle are reasoned. However, it is interesting to find out the most essential and common features of it.

Medicine and biology are sciences, but even primer analysis of the COVID spectacle demonstrates the lack of science approach and scientific rationality. We see informational terror and propaganda in media; we hear contradictory information from politicians, businesspersons, celebrities, clericals.

One of the most eminent epidemiologists of the world John Ioannidis has been defamed; his scientific works on COVID and recommendations are glossed over. On the contrary, Bill Gates decides what to do with COVID. The world listens to advices about vaccination from Lady Gaga and the Pope of Rome.

The COVID spectacle is not a Modern phenomenon. The era of Modernity, which has been lasting 500 years, was based on scientific rationality, but now it has ended and a fundamentally new reality has begun, which has completely different rules, values, and goals.

Some people paid attention that the COVID spectacle contains features of an occult ritual: the name of the virus is Corona/crown-virus; the COVID spectacle had been preceded by notorious novels, movies, serials and video-clips. Of course, many famous disasters from Titanic to Chernobyl and 9/11 have indications of occult rituals; also, the COVID spectacle has also some of them.

However, there are two substantive differences between occult disasters from the past and the COVID spectacle:

The first. All the occult disasters from the past were local, and didn’t directly concern the whole world and each man.

The second. The occult disasters from the past were ceremonies without a feedback. People were only silent spectators or passive participants without freedom of choice and activity. The locked in the hold passengers of Titanic were only fated victims. 

The COVID spectacle, however, is global and concerns everyone, and it is interactive: people have the ability not to adopt COVID propaganda; they can protest against lockdowns or reject vaccination. We see cases when even some states (Belorussia, China, Scandinavia, some states of the USA) wholly or partly rejected to participate the COVID spectacle.

Let’s look at the most general sense of the COVID spectacle. Humankind is told: there is a threat to life and happiness (a fearful virus), and here is a salvation from it (quarantine, masks and the main thing: vaccination). But for salvation, only your step is needed – to believe it and to take a step, giving consent.  
It is a model copied from the Abrahamic religions. The threat of death through the curse and the salvation from it through simple actions: faith, trust / hope, repentance.

Abrahamic theologians have noticed that a man’s sin is complicated, and before sinning, a man goes through up to five stages of the fall. But forgiveness of sins, salvation happens simply and instantly: one believed, repented and was immediately saved. The situation with the virus is similar. There are “terrible and difficult pandemic problem” and its quick solution via vaccination.

Moreover, the Abrahamic religions not only save from death, but also give the fullness of life and happiness. The current propaganda of vaccination also says that vaccination saves lives of your neighbors and gives freedom of travel, freedom and fullness of life: “vaccination macht frei”.

But what about those who do not believe and participate the COVID spectacle; who ignore quarantines and refuse vaccination (ignore the way of “salvation”)? In the Abrahamic religions, such people are called wicked, atheists, fighters against God, sinners, heretics; they are threatened with punishment, suffering and eternal oblivion.

The same is in the COVID spectacle – COVID dissidents are called deceivers, conspiracy theorists, irresponsible, guilty of the death of others, criminals, renegades. They are threatened with punishments from restricting the rights up to prison.

The very process of the development of religion is taking place in a certain way. Any religious faith of a man develops in four stages.

Neophyte. Man suddenly realizes that he believes; a religious explosion occurs and for a short time a man zealously fulfills all the practices and norms that religion requires.

Liberalization. Neophyte gets tired of overstrain, and on the other hand, he encounters the practices of other believers, usually not so zealous, and as a result, man relaxes, begins to indulge himself and makes compromises.

Liberalization also does not go on for a long time, and if man has not abandoned his faith at all, then after relaxation, he begins a very long, but not so zealous, path of improvement.

In some cases, man, after a long path of improvement, reaches a certain level of “holiness” or perfection, which makes it possible to say that man has overcome the bad in himself and cultivated good.

The COVID spectacle develops along the same path.

First, there was an explosion of panic, fear, hysteria and as a result, in the spring of 2020 there were super-severe restrictions. Factories were stopped; people were locked in their homes, etc.

Then, in the summer of 2020 a period of liberalization came. Until the autumn, quarantine almost had calmed down and returned to the past life.

The third stage came with a “new wave of pandemic” in the autumn of 2020. Quarantines are not as severe as in the spring of 2020, however rather strict and very long.

And finally, the fourth stage. It can only be achieved much later, by those who received salvation through vaccination and vaccine-passport.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. That is, in fact, the COVID spectacle imitates the biblical story and presents characteristics of an Abrahamic religion. This is why almost nobody pays attention on the irrationality, contradictions, illogicality, antiscientificity of the COVID spectacle. This is abnormality for the atheistic humanistic, rational culture, but it’s okay for the religious reality.  

So, we are dealing with the first manifestations of a new type of religion.  The COVID spectacle is a ritual, a mystery of some kind of religion. Many people already cannot live without the “pandemic”, if suddenly it stopped, they would feel uncomfortable. Many people are eager to get the coveted diagnosis of COVID in order to confirm their special participation in this mystery.

It is interesting to note that there is even some kind of competition between countries and corporations, including religious ones, who will deeper and longer intensify the COVID spectacle. Perhaps in this way, certain institutions prove their loyalty and jealousy in this new religion in order to take more advantageous positions in the future world order.

We still have not understood all the structure of this new type of religion, but a number of its features are already visible:

1. Global character.
2. The inevitability of everyone’s participation through acceptance or non-acceptance.
3. High acceptance by people and institutions.
4. Super-religious, inclusive, ecumenical character. This new type of religion absorbs all traditional religions without confrontation, making them its offshoots: all traditional religions of the world were and are faithful actors of the COVID spectacle.
5. This new type of religion does not need a traditional icon and notion of a god, so it easily absorbs even agnostics and atheists.

Evidently, the COVID spectacle is the first link in the chain of initiations. There will certainly be new initiations and degrees for humanity on the path of this religious worship. Humanity does not yet know the whole mystery, this is only the first step of the initiation, this is the so called the initiation of the crown. Initiation is the acceptance of a spirit. And the higher the degree of initiation, the more spirits enter and control the initiate.

What kind of spirit? What kind of religion is this? – Let’s look at the essence of this new world religion. Here lies the main problem. Religion in general and all faith in particular, presuppose an authority. In the Abrahamic religions, this is God and His servants on the earth, inspired by the spirit of God: prophets, priests, preachers. And who is the god-authority, the god-spirit and his “earthly servants” in this new meta-religion?

It is a big mystery why people believed and accepted the COVID spectacle. The fear of virus cannot explain everything. After all, people believe not only in the fearful global “pandemic” and are afraid of it, but also devoutly believe in quarantines and vaccines and accept them as a salvation. And if it is possible to understand the belief in the COVID spectacle through fear, then why do people believe in a vaccine but not in some antiviral drugs, for example? The virus is supposedly a big problem, but why was the vaccine is believed as the only solution?

There is no clear specific authority on which the belief in the COVID spectacle is based. There is no faith without authority, but the authority is not actualized.

Who are the authorities of the COVID spectacle? – Media, big pharma, politicians, businesspersons, celebrities, clericals, dishonest doctors and scientists. However, there are many believers in the COVID spectacle in the countries, where these “authorities” have zero trust. The educated and the foolish, the doctors and the profane, the rich and the poor, the Hellenes and especially the Jews, almost all of them believe in the COVID spectacle. It is a truly religious faith, where everyone is equal in the face of an incomprehensible deity.

We will have to engage in a search for God of this new type of religion, where the authority / deity is not individualized, but even not actualized. Deity hides, but at the same time somehow influences people, causing them to have religious faith in one way or another.

We determined that since the COVID spectacle is false, then its true architect and “god” is the father of lies, – the devil. But, firstly, we determined this on the basis of an alternative, biblical picture of the world, which the overwhelming majority of mankind does not know, and secondly, the devil is hiding, not showing himself, but hiding behind something.

From the Apocalypse (chapter 17), we know that in the era of science, atheism and rationalism, (that is, in the era of Modern), the incarnation of the devil – the Beast, is hiding behind the non-religious civilization “the Babylonian harlot”. But when Babylon and the age of Modern will suffer a crisis and decay, which we are now beginning to observe, the Beast will not immediately receive power, because for a certain time it will be taken by ten horns of the Beast – ten kingdoms. That is, the authority, the deity of this new super-religion, the mystery of which is the COVID spectacle, is already beginning to act, but so far it cannot appear directly. The Beast 666, which is an incarnation of the devil, hides until the culmination of the last times: firstly in the depth of sea, then under the Babylonian harlot, then behind the ten kingdoms. It will directly appear for a short time in the future (see more in our work “The Structure of the Biblical History”).

We are at the end of the global materialistic, atheistic, humanistic, consumeristic and rationalistic civilization, which in the Revelation of John is called “Babylonian harlot”. The next big apocalyptic époque will be the Beast 666 with the false prophet – Antichrist.  However, according to the prophesies, between these big époques, there will be a transitive, transformative period. This is the époque of ten horns of the Beast or ten kingdoms. According to the Revelation, these ten kingdoms will destroy the global civilization of Babylonian harlot. These ten states however will reign for a short period and take their reigns to the global Beast 666.

The main difference between the global civilization of Babylonian harlot and the global civilization of Beast 666 is that Babylonian harlot is unreligious, but the Beast 666 is religious.

Hence, the transitive époque of ten kingdoms (which is sometimes called the “Age of Aquarius”) has the main aim to prepare the humankind to accept the Beast 666 and so to transform people from atheism, consumerism and rationalism to religious state. The COVID spectacle, which as we have determined is the religious ritual and mystery, is, therefore, the first big step of this transition.

The époque of Babylon harlot (Age of Modern) did a terrible thing: it destroyed a traditional religiosity in humankind. The traditional religiosity was complex and gave a man a comprehensive picture of the world. Then, the Babylon whore temporarily replaced religion with the rational science. And when the Age of Modern ends and the rational science become non-essential for man, he is offered a new, simplified, perverted type of religion.

A religion without a clear understanding of the deity. Previously, it would have been nonsense, but the Babylon harlot has brainwashed people that they will behave religiously in relation to clearly non-religious things; they will believe in a deity that they do not see and do not know.

Since humanity has believed in the COVID spectacle, it means that the devil has gained access to every kind of authority on earth. The devil controls politicians, doctors, clericals, media. Also, through temptations, he controls every man who does not know the true God. The devil has found an approach to everyone. In other words, the devil has built and controls the Matrix, which replaced the reality for humankind. Now we see how this Matrix works in the case of the COVID spectacle. It simulates pseudo-religious reality or in other words – the religion of a new type.

This new religion will not really be called as “religion” in the traditional meaning of this term, and its deity will not be called as “god”. People will accept it as a string of global events: today the COVID spectacle and the adoption of the vaccine; tomorrow maybe the invasion of the Martians; the day after tomorrow – the creation of a world state “for the good of all people”, when each man needs to get a stigma of the Beast 666. The each next level of initiation will be easier for humanity to accept than the COVID spectacle. With each level, the devil will more and more capture a man in the network of his new religion, until the Beast of Apocalypse arises.

Therefore, the formal and open worshiping the devil with horns and hooves will not take place, but this will be expressed in various socio-political and cultural actions, but in fact in ersatz rituals and mysteries.

That is why the Apocalypse is written as cartoons, in such detail and colorfully. People will think that they live correctly and righteously, live like a Christian, and at the same time, in reality, will participate in the Satanic religion. Babylon has built a brainwashing Matrix, and now people, without a biblical worldview, will religiously worship all kinds of things, even a virus with vaccines, but they do not even understand this.

So, let’s be vigilant and don’t permit to beguile us into a false sense.

Both the apostles and many early Christians had an unequivocally negative attitude towards the “Greek wisdom” of Athens: “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ” (Col. 2:8).

Tertullian writes: “Indeed heresies are themselves instigated by philosophy … What indeed has Athens to do with Jerusalem? What has the Academy to do with the Church? What have heretics to do with Christians? Our instruction comes from the porch of Solomon, who had himself taught that the Lord should he sought in simplicity of heart. Away with all attempts to produce a Stoic, Platonic, and dialectic Christianity!”
However, from the second century of Christianity, the idea that philosophy is useful and does not contradict the Bible began to prevail. So Justin Martyr taught that any truth in the Greek or pagan philosophies was the Word or Logos reaching out to sinful humanity. He believed Plato’s God was the God of the Bible and Socrates was a “Christian before Christ”, just as Abraham was.

Then, during some centuries, philosophy has almost completely absorbed the native Christian biblical doctrine. Therefore, the Rome catholic and East orthodox theology is only lightly Christianized Greek philosophy.

Later, already in the Modern times, the concept appears that Western civilization is a synthesis of Judeo-Christian and Hellenic cultures, that is, a synthesis, a meeting of Athens and Jerusalem. But what kind of synthesis can we talk about when the absorption of Jerusalem by Athens took place? Western civilization, and now the whole world – is Athens with only a few traces of Jerusalem.
However, this idea became popular, especially in the circles of leftist and liberal theologians.

In this context, the semantics of the city in the biblical worldview seems to be very interesting.
According to Genesis, the first thing the first Satanist Cain did was to invent the city. Then, the first thing that humanity did after the Flood was to build the city of Babylon with the famous “tower”. And further, every civilization in this world is an urban civilization. Therefore, the earthly city in the Bible generally has a negative connotation.
It is interesting that modern science, despite the dominance of Marxism and economic determinism, is gradually coming to the conclusion that the first cities in the Middle East arose not as economic or political centers, but precisely as religious centers, as settlements around certain religious buildings or objects. This completely coincides with the biblical interpretation of the emergence of cities.
There were many cities, but in the spiritual history of mankind there are only two of them: Jerusalem, and not Athens, but Babylon.
Babylon was the first to emerge. The name of this city in the Bible is בָּבֶ֔ל  Bavel. It is translated as “mixing” consonant with בָּלַ֥ל “to mix, confuse” (meaning the confusing of languages ​​during the construction of the Tower). However, the term בָּלַ֥ל is just a play on words with the Akkadian name of this city Bābili (m), which is a literal translation of its primary, Sumerian name Kadingir (Gate of God).

The most important and beautiful gates of Babylon are the Ishtar gates, built there at the peak of the city’s power by Nebuchadnezzar. Ishtar is the female form of Lucifer. The gate itself depicts the ancient signs of the devil – a lion, a bull, and the brightest and most complete image of Satan – Sirrush (translated from Akkadian “great serpent”, “red dragon”, “fierce dragon”).
The cuneiform sign of the word “god” in the Sumerian language is a pictographic image of a star. For Mesopotamia, the gods are the stars in the sky. And the brightest object in the sky after the sun and the moon is a star of Ishtar, or rather the planet Venus, Lucifer.
Now we understand of what “god” the spiritual gate Babylon is. And the Bible clearly recognizes this. In the Bible, Babylon is a symbol of the center of Satan’s presence in the world; Satan is the king of Babylon. Here is the famous prophecy of Isaiah about the impending collapse of Babylon and its king: “That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!… Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit” (Isa. 14: 4-15).

It is from Babylon that the so-called “Babylonian wisdom” comes from – a complex of philosophical, occult and esoteric teachings that have formed and constitute the basis of the worldview of this world from antiquity to this day (Kabbalah, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Greek philosophy, science, technology, etc.).  The aforementioned Athens (like Rome, the Vatican, like Shambhala and many other centers) is just one of the branches of Babylon.

There are two basically different worldviews in the world: Biblical and Babylonian.  All the nonbiblical doctrines, ideologies, religions, philosophies, worldviews (from magic and paganism till philosophy, science and technology) have a common basis. This basis was invented and developed in the ancient Mesopotamia ranging from the Sumerian civilization. This thesis we will in detail concern in our works.

The city is a symbolic habitat for sinful people. Before the Fall of man, people lived in the Garden of Eden, and after that God’s people lived outside the cities, shunning them. However, after the Babylonian tower, God decided to create His own people, to whom He would transfer a special land – Palestine. But pagans already lived in this land and had their own pagan religious cities. And the Jews, having conquered them in one of them, made their religious capital – in Jerusalem. God used the invention of sinful people in His Providence of salvation.
Jerusalem – the name comes from two words, literally “city of peace”. Peace, the Semitic root שלם “sh-l-m” or “s-l-m”, shalom, salam, is a very capacious word, which means peace, completeness, well-being. In Canaanite times under Abraham, this city was also called Salim.
In Salim during the time of Abraham, the mysterious Melchizedek “the king of righteousness”, the priest of the Most High God, ruled. Melchizedek is Christ-God before incarnation (the same One Who appeared to Abraham near Mamre or with Whom Jacob fought).
Thus, God chooses a special city for Himself, for His Providence, and David took it by military force. Having made his capital, David placed the Ark of the Covenant in it, and his son Solomon built the Temple. Thus Jerusalem became the only place where God was on earth. In other cities, shrines of Yahweh were strictly forbidden.
However, 400 years after David and Solomon, the Jews became so corrupt that they were punished with a terrible and deep symbolic punishment. Shekinah (presence) of Yahweh left the Temple, the city of Yahweh – Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed, and the Jews were moved to the city of Satan – Babylon. Then the Jews returned to Jerusalem, rebuilt the Temple. But again they were mired in sin – they changed the Torah and the prophets for Babylonian wisdom, and 400 years after the captivity, another terrible tragedy broke out in Jerusalem. Yahweh came to his city – Jerusalem to save the Jews first, but they did not recognize Him, accused of blasphemy and killed. Then the Romans destroy Jerusalem, the Temple, and the Jews sprayed around the world.

And now we need to pay attention to one very important aspect. This aspect is especially discussed in the Apocalypse.
Now the geographical ancient city of Babylon does not exist. Even in the time of John, Babylon was nothing but ruins. However, in a spiritual sense, Babylon “great city”, these gates of Satan, still exist. Babylonian wisdom, or, to put it simply, Satanism, reigns supreme both in the world and in many supposedly Christian churches. The Matrix of Babylon and Babylonian wisdom has penetrated into all areas of life. Moreover, John describes the triumph of Babylon, and then its final fall at the beginning of the End Times.
Jerusalem exists now and it is flourishing. Already in the 4th century, Byzantium, having privatized Christianity for itself, began to revive Jerusalem as a religious center. This policy was continued by Muslims, and now it is continued by the Jews, who gained political power over the city in 1967.
But what does the last prophecy of the Bible, the Revelation of John, say about Jerusalem?
John with the name Jerusalem, or “the holy city” as the city of God, calls exclusively the Heavenly City Jerusalem, the heavenly capital of Christ’s kingdom. After the Ascension of Christ in Heaven, New Jerusalem arose, which so far is only in Heaven and is spiritually present among the Church.

Jerusalem as a geographical earthly city, John mentions only once – in chapter 11. And he mentions it in a very bad context: in the Last Times in Jerusalem there will be two prophets from God killed by the devil who gained strength. In the Last Times, geographic Jerusalem will become the spiritual capital of Satan over the world. John calls it “the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified” (Rev.11: 8).
Great city is one of the names in Revelation for Babylon, Satan’s gate in this world; Sodom is a symbol of extreme and legalized sin, Egypt is a symbol of slavery. Jerusalem is not mentioned so badly anywhere else in Scripture. Geographic Jerusalem will absorb all the negativity that is possible.
This is such an apocalyptic castling. Geographic Babylon is destroyed, but spiritually it is flourishing, and at the end of time it will be geographically located in the former city of God – geographic Jerusalem. Actually, the triumph of the devil in the world will be marked by the transformation of geographic Jerusalem into Babylon.

There is an active occult-ecumenical movement in the world, the purpose of which is to unite and unify all the religions of the world in such a way that this religion will become a religion of worshiping Satan in the Last Times. And in Jerusalem it is planned to restore the Temple, is not just like a Jewish temple, but a temple of the new world religion to Satan.

In our further works, we will research the Bible worldview, the Babylon worldview and the difference between them.

In the middle of the twentieth century, the art world was shaken by a sensation. X-ray examination of the icon of the saint Catherine of Alexandria by an unknown author, unveiled that this was not an icon, but a heavily “corrected” portrait of “Lady with a Unicorn” by Raphael (the model was Julia Farnese). The picture was restored, the later edits were removed, and the picture appeared in all its glory.

The unicorn is a very interesting symbol in Western culture. Its profane interpretations are as follows:

This strange mystical animal, which is very difficult to hunt, according to the official version, came to the mythology of the West from India. Ancient authors describe it as a real but amazing animal, and it was dedicated to Artemis, the virgin goddess.

In the Bible, in the Greek translation of the Septuagint, the word unicorn μονό-κερως is very often used, but in a purely symbolic sense. In the Masoretic text, it is clear that this word does not exist. There are three versions. 1) The translators of the Septuagint translated the term רְאֵם as a unicorn, this is a bull, but some kind of special one, with mystical and symbolic attributes. 2) Another animal רֵּ֣ים was translated as the unicorn. This word is used only once in Scripture, and we do not know its meaning, but judging by the root, it is some special mystical animal, which was translated in the Septuagint as a unicorn. 3) A unicorn is a translation of a concept that was first in the Torah, and then disappeared from it.

We dwell on this in detail because in the Bible the unicorn is a sign with two meanings. Sometimes it is a very large, irresistible and terrible force. Sometimes it is a symbol of Christ.

Later, in the profane culture the sign-unicorn received two meanings:

Religious (less commonly) – is Christ, who is often depicted as a unicorn in the arms of the Virgin Mary.

Mythological – it is an amazing animal that cannot be tamed, except for a virgin. This topic is used many times in art, both in paintings and in literature, from ancient bestiaries to romantics and Gary Potter. There is a special plot about a wounded unicorn.

Raphael, like all other masters of the Renaissance, was initiated into esoteric circles, and painted a picture in Florence, which was the nest of occultism of that time. The fact that the unicorn on the picture was later painted over, tells us that the story with the unicorn has one more mysterious and esoteric meaning.
We do not know of any written sources about these meaning, but we do have a clue. These are fragments of the painting of the Palazzo Farnese in Italy. The villa was built at the beginning of the XVI century as the residence of the influential Farnese family. So Giulia Farnese was the mistress of Pope Alexander VI Borgia, and her brother later became Pope Paul III.
In particular, we are interested in fragments of the painting from the bedroom of Giulia Farnese.

Obviously, the images of the unicorn are saturated with occult symbolism. It was noticed long ago that Italy and Vatican during the Renaissance (and even till now) is a real nest of occultism. There is a legend about the words of Pope Leo X Medici, who ruled just during the completion of the construction of the Farnese Palace: “It has served us well, this myth of Christ“. By the way, it was during Leo X that Luther put forward his theses, launching the Reformation.

There are studies and multiple interpretations of frescoes in an alchemical key (the unicorn symbolizes mercury). However, we consider this interpretation a dead end without understanding the true meaning of the “great work” of alchemy and the unicorn. Julia clearly had something to do with the occult world of that time. Firstly, it is Julia Farnese who is depicted by Raphael in his famous painting with a unicorn. And Raphael was not alone, for example, here is a picture painted long after Julia’s death in 1602.

Julia (who was very beautiful) was the model of many paintings and icons, including Madonna. To paint Madonna from whores is a popular “joke” of the Renaissance. However, one has to pay attention on a strange thing: a married woman, the Pope’s mistress, roughly speaking a harlot, and a unicorn, which, as one knows, contacts only with virgins. Obviously, occultists understand plots about unicorn with a completely different meaning than profane. The paintings of the Farnese palaces, like other famous families of that time, are abundant with the image of the heraldic lily.

As you know, it was this lily that was the coat of arms of the Merovingians, and later it was taken as the coat of arms of the successor of their activities – the Priory of Zion. Many Renaissance artists and thinkers were also members of this order. It is interesting that in the 60s of the first century AD in the radical religious circles of Israel there was talk that supposedly the ancient prophecies would come true soon and the Jews would receive world power. Under this cause, they raised an uprising against Rome, but everything ended in failure. The rebels minted their coins on which they depicted, yes, the very lily!

Let’s analyze the brightest and most intense fresco.

So, we see a woman who clearly looks like Julia, sitting on a red dragon. This is the unambiguous symbol of the Babylonian harlot from the Apocalypse. Her dress is all covered with the lilies of the Priory of Zion and the Merovingians. She holds a bowl in her hands.

“So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication” (Rev.17: 3,4).
So, the harlot sits on the devil and feeds from a cup with abominations the unicorn. On the unicorn lies a blanket with the same lily. In the side of the unicorn, next to the blanket, we see a small wound. It turns out the Babylonian harlot, associated with a secret powerful occult society and the Merovingian family (from which, according to legend, the Antichrist is expected) heals with the abominations and sins of a wounded mystical one-horn beast.

What is this horn? “I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things” (Dan .7: 8). Here Daniel describes the last world satanic kingdom, which John in the Apocalypse calls the Beast: “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast” (Rev. 13: 1-3).
The symbolism of the beast in the Scripture has a double meaning. The Beast is a kingdom, an empire, a political force. By the way, the horn is also a symbol of strength and power. On the other hand, the sea beast is a symbol of the devil, or even his incarnation in the world.
That is, the Beast from the above quotation of the Apocalypse is a devilish world state, which should arise after the world civilization of consumption (Babylonian harlot) will be defeated. We wrote about this in the articles “The structure of Apocalypse” and “The Bible about the Beast”.

The Beast, as a world diabolical empire of the last times, was wounded through the coming into the world of Christ and the emergence of Christianity. God incarnated, it would seem that the kingdom of the Beast will no longer arise, people will follow the righteous path. By the way, many Christians thought and still think so. However, the Apocalypse paints a terrible picture for us. People will turn away from Christ and follow Babylon’s sins and abominations. And in this way, they will heal the wound to the Beast inflicted by Christ (yes – there are healers, therapists of the devil among people). Thus, the unicorn in the occult Renaissance interpretation is a symbol of the Beast of the Apocalypse.

The fresco not only illustrates the plot from Revelation, but also clarifies who specifically laid the foundations of the modern global civilization of consumption (the ideology of “humanism” and the Renaissance), and organizes the healing of the Beast and preparation for its arrival. These are the aristocratic families of old Europe, the Vatican, and the secret societies such as the Priory of Zion.

So, if you see unicorns in films, cartoons, paintings, on coats of arms – remember about the hidden meaning of it. Coat of Arms of Great Britain. Do you see lilies on the neck of the unicorn?

Let’s go back to alchemy. Eliphas Levi defined the Great Work, the main essence of all alchemy: “The Great Work is, before all things, the creation of man by himself, that is to say, the full and entire conquest of his faculties and his future; it is especially the perfect emancipation of his will“. In other words, this is a manifesto of the builders of the old Babylonian tower, and also the main aim of the ideology of the modern Babylonian harlot (Kabbala, humanism), which the Templars and Renaissance era were reviving so zealously. And a unicorn in alchemy is a symbol of the decisive stage of the Great Work. That is, humanism, Renaissance, alchemy and other esotericism are healing and then worship of the apocalyptic Beast, the devil.

By the way, about therapists-healers. One of the most important families, descending from the Templars, which laid the foundation for the healing of the devil during the Renaissance, bore the name Medici – doctors. The coat of arms of the Medici family with the same lilies.

The evolution of the devils image in the religious culture

It is interesting to review how people represent the devil in art.

According to the Bible, the devil on the earth appears in certain forms, defined by God. After being thrown from Heaven, Satan could appear on the earth as a serpent with legs. For example, his image from the Ishtar gate in Babylon (Sirrush, more precisely mušḫuššu – translated from Akkadian “great serpent”, “red dragon”, “fierce dragon”).

It is the unique image – because it absorbed almost all the symbolism of the devil from the Bible.
However, over time, in the Bible, the prophets have other artistic forms that complement the image of the devil. Moreover, some of the images have a double meaning – they depict, depending on the context, both God and the devil.
So the popular images of the devil among the prophets are a lion and an eagle. Let’s take a closer look – the Babylonian Sirrush has a reptilian body, the hind legs of an eagle, and the front legs of a lion.

He has also three horns. The two horns like a lamb’s and one straight.

Daniel (who lived in Babylon) describes the beasts used many features taken from Sirrush. According to Daniel, the sign of the triumphing devil as a global state is a horn.

According to John, the incarnation of devil as a man is the beast of the earth with two horns like a lamb. Therefore, this image of the Sirrush contains the features of the devil’s trinity:

• The fallen angel Satan (the serpent with eagles’ and lion’s legs). After Satan tempted Eve, God took his legs away from him and he began to crawl on his belly like an ordinary snake.
• The Incarnation of the devil as a state – horn, and the unicorn is one of the symbols of the devil. We have already written about this above.
• The devil as a man/Antichrist with two lamb’s horns.

However, there is another point that Sirrush does not have – this is the human body.

Since in the Bible there is a strict prohibition on images, Jewish images of the devil have not reached us. However, with the spread of Christianity, the image of the devil also appears in iconography. He is depicted in various ways, but most often as humanoid with horns. The fact is that in the overwhelming majority of the image of the devil, human traits are present in one way or another. And this is not casual. John in Revelation writes that in the Last Times, when people heal the wound of the devil that Christ inflicted on him, and the devil returns to the world, one of his incarnations will be the form of a man “beast with horns like a lamb” as a parody of Christ. Moreover, the goat-faced devil was also adopted by various devil worshipers and occultists, for example, the Baphomet of Templar.

The Bible describes a very specific ritual of Yom Kippur (Judgment Day).
The fact is that, having sinned, the Jew had to come to the Jerusalem Temple and offer a sacrifice to God for sin. Sin leads to death, but in the sacrifice, the sacrificial animal died instead of the sinner. So the sin departed from the Jew, the animal died, and the sin did not disappear, but, as it were, fell on the Temple and the priests of the Temple. However, once a year, on the Day of Judgment, the high priest performed the rite of cleansing the Temple from the sins of the people that had accumulated in it over the year.
They took two goats. One was sacrificed to God, and on the other the priest laid his hands and, as it were, shifted, returned their sins to their original source and owner – the devil, symbolized by that second goat, who was called Azazel (the name of one of the fallen angels, which was also used as one of the names of the devil). The goat-Azazel was driven into the desert to take away sins to their primordial source – the devil. Thus, the devil received one of his images – like a horned goat.

In the Last Times, a man degrades so much and falls into sins that the devil can incarnate in a man-Antichrist. During the Renaissance, a strong foundation was laid for this. The place of God is taken by man – humanism. But everyone who is even a little familiar with the basics of philosophy and theology knows that man, due to his weakness, cannot be a deity. Under the guise of a man-god, people are worshiping the devil. Humanism is not possible; real humanism is Satanism.

Hence, the more humanism spread among people, the more humanlike they depicted the devil. In the “Middle Ages” he is still like this:

In the Renaissance he is already like this:

This is a picture of the devil, presumably by Botticelli (XV-XVI century). He has three faces.

Then the devil acquires more and more human features, and in the XIX century he is already like this:

And in the XX century he is already like this:

It is interesting that in the anthropomorphic depiction of the devil, the sexual issue is either ignored (he devil is represented as asexual), or, on the contrary, as a bisexual creature (like Baphomet). And this is not casual. The famous image of the devil in Isaiah – as the Morning Star, Lucifer, from ancient times symbolized the goddesses Ishtar, Aphrodite, Venus. If we carefully study the theology of Ishtar, then we will actually see a copy of the biblical story of the devil and the fall of man. Ishtar is a female devil. Aphrodite was born from the sea. And according to the Bible, the sea is an image of the abode of infernal forces. By the way, Luc Besson’s film “Lucy” also hints to us in this direction.

However, let’s return to Botticelli’s drawing.
In my opinion, in the époque of modern the most adequate image of the devil is presented on the first page of the famous work of Thomas Hobbes “Leviathan”. Hobbes describes the mechanisms of the existence of human society in a Kabbalistic manner. And as an illustration, he presented us with images of humanity as one big collective devil, who, having in his hands the political power and power of the church, rules the little slaves, making them part of his supermachine body. It is a parody of the Church as the Body of Christ in which people are its members. In fact, the image of Hobbes is an analogue of the film “Matrix” of the XX century.

Let’s compare this drawing with Botticelli’s drawing.

They have something common. Botticelli indicates to us  not the reverse direction, to the outdated Templar Baphomet, but, as it were, foreshadowing the global diabolical system-Matrix, which Hobbes so aptly depicted to us 150 years after Botticelli or the Wachowski brothers/sisters 500 years after Botticelli.

Contest of a god with a 7-headed monster called MUŠ.MAḪ “Distinguished serpent” in Sumerian (mušmaḫḫu in Akkadian), on shell plaque dated around 2500-2400 BCE. Collection Elie Borowski, Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.

The real meaning of the Sumerian picture: Seven-headed dragon near the water / sea. He is served by a man (he is serving, because he kneels), but a man is not simple, but with two horns. Is one of the dragon’s heads is drooped, and probably wounded, and is about to be bandaged?

“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads… And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed… And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed”.

(Revelation 13:1-12)

In the center of the chiastic religious history of the world (chapters 12 – 19 of Apocalypse, see more “The structure of Apocalypse”), the most important thing is the Beast. This is the heart of the story.

We do not have a reasoned answer – how exactly the Beast will manifest itself in history. But we will try to understand as much as possible in this problem and collect as much as possible about the Beast from the Bible.

The Bible contains data showing the most important semantic characteristics. Further we will talk about the First Beast of the Apocalypse, most often calling it simply the Beast, as it is called in Greek by John in the Apocalypse, or Leviathan, as it is called in Hebrew in the OT.

There are many popular ideas and reflections about the beasts of the apocalypse. The modern technotronic transpersonal époque and electronic concentration camp provide a lot of food for thought. And this must be done, because yes, we are heading towards the End of Times at full speed. But we will take a different path. We are not interested in speculations against the background of current events, but in what the Bible says about the Beast.

Revelation, the book of Daniel, Job, Isaiah, Hezekiel, Jonah and other texts of Scripture give us a certain amount of information about the essence of the Beast and the dynamics of its activity.

Let us consider in detail the descriptions of the Beast in the Bible. Some of them will have short preliminary comments, but the most important are the bold and underlined words that indicate parallel passages in different parts of the Bible.

Using the theme of the Beast, we will see how amazingly complete the Bible is. From the first chapters of Genesis to the last chapters of the Apocalypse, written by different people at different times in different languages, the descriptions of the Beast not only do not contradict each other, but also harmoniously complement themselves using the same language of biblical signs, which conveys to us one general picture of the world.

The John’s story in Apocalypse.

Here we present fragments of the Revelation, which concern the Beast and place them in the chronological order, which does not match with the order they are in the book (see more “The structure of Apocalypse” and “The Structure of the Biblical History”).

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

(Revelation 12: 1-17)

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

(Rev.17: 1-18)

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

(Rev.13: 1-8)

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

(Revelation 13: 11-18)

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

(Revelation 11: 3-7)

And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

(Revelation 16: 2-16)

And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

(Rev.19: 17-21)

And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

(Rev.20: 1-3)

In the New Testament, the word “beast” (θηρίον, lat. Bestia) was used to denote wild and fierce beasts and animals, including venomous snakes (Acts 28: 4,5). To designate animals and beasts in the broad sense of the word, another word was used – ζώον, it is also lat. animal, this word designates living beings near the throne of God.

The Daniel’s story

It is important to note that Daniel has a detailed parallel description of the events of the Last times with the beasts. John uses many images from the book of Daniel. Let us investigate it and at the same time correct some misconceptions in the interpretation of the book of Daniel.

…I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.

And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things…

…I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time…

…I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things:

“These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever”.

Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; and of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

(Dan. 7: 2-26)

This fragment is written in Aramaic, then beast is חֵיוָא “animal, beast”; the Septuagint translation of it is also θηρίον.

 As you can see, Daniel gives a completely parallel story. The general meaning and sequence of events coincide with the Apocalypse. But in detail, Daniel reveals the problem from a different angle, and uses actually the same images as in John, but in a different way.

The four beast kingdoms emerge from the sea: the sea is a biblical sign of the place of satanic forces. Three seem to be ordinary, and the fourth is special, combining the features of the other three. Most likely, here we are talking about aspects of the same kingdom – the Beast of the Apocalypse. The John’s Beast possesses all the attributes of the Daniel’s four beasts: “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion” (Rev.13: 1,2).

The Daniel’s Beasts do not have seven heads. However, Daniel talks about brass and iron in the fourth Beast, and these same attributes are found in the Job’s description of Behemoth and Leviathan “His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is cast iron”. There is a special difference between other beasts and the fourth Beast: it is great strength and global character, because the fourth beast will “devour the whole earth”.

As for the first three beasts, a little could be interpreted. The leopard beast is the sign of speed, the bear beast is the sign of bloodlust, the lion beast is the sign of rage. In the Scripture, there are frequent references to a lion and a bear, and sometimes a leopard, which speaks of the wickedness of kingdoms: “As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people” (Prov. 28:15).

The Daniel’s story about the first lion-beast has the deepest meaning: “The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it“. Leo is a sign indicating the tribe of Judah, the Kingdom of Judah. So we can talk about the Kingdom of Judah. Next are the wings of an eagle. The eagle’s wings are a sign of the special and exclusive Grace of God. It was the wings of the eagle that the Christian Church received from God (Rev.12:14). The wings of an eagle, plucked out of the lion-like kingdom, leaves no doubt that we are talking about the Jewish people, who did not accept the Messiah and God’s grace was taken away from him. This means that the Jews will play the most important role in the affairs of the devil and the apocalyptic Beast. Actually, Christ in the Apocalypse unambiguously calls the Jews who did not accept Christ “the synagogue of Satan” (Rev.2:9). Further, this lion “was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it“. It is a pure allusion to the story of the Second Beast of Apocalypse “coming up out of the earth” (Rev.13:11) – the false prophet. It turns out that the false prophet-Antichrist will be of the Jews.

The fourth beast with ten horns is the closest to John’s description. Among interpreters, there is a popular view that the John’s Beast is an analogue of the fourth beast described by Daniel. However, a close reading reveals that this is not the case:

Firstly, there is a dual nature of Daniel’s animals. On the one hand, they came out of the sea – a synonym for the place of Satan, and on the other: “These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth”. While the John’s First Beast came out exclusively from the sea.

Secondly, “out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High“. Let us repeat the sequence of events according to Apocalypse: the Babylonian harlot; the ten kingdoms rise up against her: and then their power passes to the Beast, which “was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition“.The fourth Daniel’s beast is more similar to Babylon the Great. The special “another” horn, not one of ten, but a special “eleventh”, is clearly similar to the First Beast in John. The signs of the horn and the beast are generally similar and mean in the Bible a kingdom, political power, and may well be used interchangeably. In addition, both “another” horn and the First Beast will blaspheme God. In the Bible, “to blaspheme God” means making oneself equal to God.

Thirdly, how these beasts will be destroyed? John writes that at the first judgment will be 24 judges-elders, and then: “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet… both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone” (Rev.19: 20). Daniel, on the other hand, does not mention how exactly the “another” horn will be destroyed, but speaks of judges judging it, like John. The fourth beast of Daniel: “the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame“. That is, the John’s First Beast and the Second Beast-False Prophet were thrown alive into the fire. The beast of Daniel at first was killed, and then his corpse was burnt. This is more like the death of Babylon the Great: “these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire” (Rev.17: 16).

Other books of the Bible also mention the Beast:

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

(Genesis 3: 14-15)

And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered… And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it…

(Genesis 9: 1-5)

If one reads superficially, it turns out that God will prosecute animals that have brought harm to humans (for example, a bear will kill someone). But will God judge foolish animals? In the Hebrew text, we are talking about simply animals חַי  living beings. But in the Septuagint חַי  was translated not as usual – as an animal ζώον, but as a predatory ferocious beast θηρίον. Maybe here we are talking not just about animals running in fields and forests, but about animals that are further presented in the Bible as signs indicating the devil. God will judge the devil and his minions.

For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons (taninim, תַ֝נִּינִ֗ים) in the waters. Thou brakest the heads of leviathan (לִוְיָתָן) in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

(Psalm. 74: 12-14)

Tanin תַּנִּין, sea-monster in plural תַ֝נִּינִ֗ים is synonymous with Behemoth בְּהֵמוֹת.

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon (tanin תַּנִּין) shalt thou trample under feet.

(Psalm. 91: 11-13)

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. Thou hast broken Rahab (רַהַב) in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

(Psalm. 89: 10,11)

So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. There go the ships: there is that leviathan (לִוְיָתָן), whom thou hast made to play therein.

(Psalm. 104: 25,26)

And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? He takes up all of them with the angle, he catches them in their net, and gathers them in their drag: therefore he rejoice and are glad. Therefore he sacrifices unto his net, and burns incense unto his drag; because by them his portion is fat, and his meat plenteous.

(Hab.1:14-16)

Now the LORD had prepared a great fish ( גָּד֔וֹל דָּ֣ג) to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights

(Jonah 1: 17)

Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly, And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

(Jonah 2: 1-10)

The story of Jonah is important for us because it turns out that the devil (a big fish is one of the biblical signs of the devil), can swallow a man and he can live in the devil. This issue will be developed further.

Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale (tanin תַּנִּין)  in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.

(Ezek. 32: 2)

In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish (1) leviathan the piercing serpent, even (2) leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay (3)  the dragon (tanin תַּנִּין) that is in the sea.

(Isa. 27: 1)

Since God strikes the whole “trinity of Satan” with the sword, then most likely we are talking about the first coming, the resurrection of the Messiah and the emergence of the Christian Church. Then the Beast will receive a mortal wound in one of its heads. But the general context of the story is rather a massacre, and in context it is closer to chapter 19 of Apocalypse, where Christ smashes many with a sword.

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon (tanin תַּנִּין)? Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?

(Isa. 51: 9,10)

Isaiah makes the distinction of beasts: one beast twists, the other walks straight, and the third is in the hell abyss.

Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

(Jer. 5:22)

Separately, we need to present here what is written about the Beastin the book of Job.

Job first talks about the devil as a fallen angel. Job writes about the big fish and about Lucifer. Job generally has the most developed teaching about the devil in the Old Testament. But we are also interested in what Job writes about the incarnations of the devil, in particular about the analogue of the Beast of the Apocalypse – Leviathan.

This is written in chapters 40 and 41 of the book of Job. First, a little is said about Behemoth. Behemoth בְּהֵמוֹת  is the plural of בְּהֵמָה  beast, cattle, animal. The Septuagint translation of this word is θηρία that is the plural of θηρίον – a predatory ferocious beast. Simply animal in Greek is ζωον. It is θηρίον that John and the translators of Daniel use to name apocalyptic beasts. That is, one of the names of the devil in Job Bechemot is “beasts,” and chapter 40 first describes the plural (triple) character of the devil, and some features of the devil in general and Leviathan in particular.

But from the 24th verse of chapter 40 the devil in Job finally takes a definite earthly form.  This is no longer a fallen angel, not a big whale in the abyss, and not “beasts” Behemoth. Further we are talking about something curling-bending-twisting. Not only the name changes, but also the subject of the story.

In the book of Job, the description of the internal structure of the monster named Leviathan (Leviatan) begins. Further in the description of Leviathan there is already a presentation of its structure, components, system, attributes. Thus, in a paradoxical way (as in the Apocalypse) a structural aspect begins to be introduced into the personality of the devil. This is the most important thing for us.

Here and further, we will quote the book of Job mainly in translation from Greek, because the Hebrew text is rather distorted. Here is an English translation with our corrections.  

 Chapter 40 (10-27)

10 But now look at the beasts (θηρία, Behemoth בְּהֵמוֹת) before you; they eat grass like oxen.

11 His strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

12 He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves (νεῦρα tendons) are weaved.

13 His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is cast iron.

14 This is the beginning of the Lord’s plan, created to be ridiculed by His angels.

15 And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy the four-legged in tartarus.

16 He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, and cane, and butomus.

17 And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and so do the bushes of the field.

18 If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trust that Jordan will rush up into his mouth.

19 In his eye he will take it, crooking he pierces his nose.

20 But wilt thou catch the dragon (Leviathan) with a hook, and put a halter about his nose?

21 Or wilt thou fasten a ring in his nostril, and bore his lip with a clasp?

22 Will he address thee with a petition? softly, with the voice of a suppliant?

23 And will he make a covenant with thee? and wilt thou take him for a perpetual servant?

24 And wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or bind him as a sparrow for a child?

25 And do the nations feed upon him, and the nations of the Phoenicians share him?

26 And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail; neither shall they carry his head in fishing-vessels.

27 But thou shalt lay thy hand upon him, remembering the war that is in his body; and let he will not be?

Chapter 41 (1-26)

1 Hast thou not seen him? and hast thou not wondered at the things said of him?

2 Dost thou not fear what has been prepared for Me? for who is there that resists Me?

3 Or who will resist Me, and abide, since the whole world under heaven is Mine?

4 I will not be silent because of him: the word of power will have mercy on the one who is equal to him.

5 Who will open the face of his garment? and who can enter within the fold of his breastplate?

6 Who will open the doors of his face? the round of his teeth is terror.  

7 His inwards are brass shields, and his unity is like a stone smirites (σμιρίτης).

8 One to another cleaves (דָּבַק, κολλαω, stick, join), and the Spirit cannot penetrate him.

9 A man will cleave (דָּבַק, κολλαω, stick, join) to his brother. They are remain united together, and cannot be separated.

10 At his sneezing a light shines, and his eyes are as the appearance of the morning star (Lucifer).

11 Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad.

12 Out of his nostrils proceeds smoke of a furnace burning with fire of coals.

13 His breath is as live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.

14 And power is lodged in his neck, before him perdition runs.

15 Flesh with flesh is in his body; they cleave (דָּבַק, κολλαω, stick, join) to one another. (The Lord) pours upon him, but he shall not be moved.

16 His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil.

17 And when he turns, he is a terror to the four-legged beasts which leap upon the earth.

18 If spears come against him, it will effect nothing, either with the spear or the breast-plate.

19 For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood.

20 The bow of brass shall not would him, he deems a slinger as grass.

21 Hammers are counted as stubble; and he laughs at a fiery earthquake.

22 His lair is formed of sharp points; and all the gold of the sea under him is an immense quantity of clay.

23 He makes the abyss boil like a brazen caldron; and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment,

24 and the Tartar of the abyss as a captive: he reckons the abyss as his range.

25 There is nothing upon the earth like to him, formed to be mocked with by My angels.

26 He beholds every high thing: and he is king of all that are in the waters.

So, proceeding from the text of the Bible and its initial commentary, now we can begin to understand the meaning of the Beast.

The devil, a fallen angel, tries to imitate God. God is Yahweh Elohim. The proper name is Yahweh and Elohim “gods” in the plural, indicating that God is three Persons. Likewise, the devil also has three “hypostases”. Job, Isaiah and John show us that the devil in history shows, as it were, three incarnations, or hypostases:

• The fallen angel-spirit.
• The devil in the form of a man.
• The beast with seven heads and ten horns, called by Job and Isaiah as Leviathan, and John as the First Beast or simply the Beast.

From the Scripture we know a lot about Satan – the fallen angel and about Antichrist – the devil in the form of a man. However, there is a riddle of the Beast with heads and horns. Too big a problem and too many contradictions. However, John pays most of attention for the Beast, placing it at the center of the events of the Last times. It is the First Beast who makes the war with the Church, almost conquering it; it also kills the last two prophets; It is healed from a mortal wound; it overcomes the restriction established by God for the devil; the Babylonian Harlot sits on him; the whole world will be forced to worship him. The First Beast is the main mystery of the Apocalypse.

So how does the Scripture call these incarnations of the devil?

1.Satan as a fallen angel

Genesis – serpent.

John – red dragon, serpent, devil and Satan

Job – Rahab, tanin, behemoth, big whale (big fish).

Isaiah – sea tannin, son of the morning (Lucifer).

Psalms – Rahab, tanin, serpent (poisonous snake).

Ezekiel – sea/river tannin.

Jonah – big fish.

Daniel – beasts.

That is, in the Bible, Satan as a fallen angel is shown in the form of four unambiguous signs:

Land reptile – dragon, serpent, snake.

Venus Star (Lucifer).

A monster (tanin, Rahab, big fish) living in hell, abyss, sea or river (sea is a sign of abyss-hell).

Ferocious beasts (in plural) are tannins, behemoth.

There are also other signs – unicorn, lion, eagle, bird-catcher, etc. For more details see our work “The Renaissance meaning of the myth of the Unicorn”.

2.The incarnation of the devil in the world as a human person

Job – running perdition

Paul – the son of perdition.

Isaiah – leviathan piercing, upright

Daniel – lion with a human heart.

John – the second beast with horns like a Lamb; a false prophet, Antichrist.

3.The incarnation of the devil in the world – Beast\Leviathan

Job – Leviathan, sometimes Behemoth.

Daniel – the arrogant Horn.

John – the Beast with seven heads and ten horns.

Isaiah – Leviathan crooked.

Psalms – Leviathan.

The essence and mystery of this “Arrogant Horn”, “Beast”, “Leviathan”, “crooked Leviathan” has a common root and core with the devil-Satan and Antichrist, but the Beast has a special features. Let’s look at them in order.

The Nature of the Beast

Contradictions

The description of the Beast in the Bible is contradictory. This contradiction makes it difficult for us to understand such a phenomenon as the Beast. Moreover, the inconsistency lies not in different ideas about the Beast in different parts of the Bible, but in the fact that the contradictions are inherent in almost each of these parts. Therefore, the books of John, Daniel and Job, each of them presents these contradictions.

The first contradiction is the location, activity of the Beast. John, and Daniel and Job write that this Beast is from the abyss/sea/water. God limited the kingdom of the devil to the sea abyss, and the devil can only influence the earth from there, moreover, in the forms and boundaries determined by God. On the other hand, John, Daniel and Job tell us that the Beast will be on the earth; – moreover, he will reign on the earth and will achieve a triumph. 

The second contradiction is the ways of worshiping the Beast. On the one hand, it looks like political submission, and on the other, like religious worship.

The third and most difficult contradiction is the nature of the Beast. In the biblical descriptions, the Beast appears as a person or as an animal. The Beast will be judged and punished, even executed in the same way as a person. The Beast will be worshiped; one will make an image of the Beast to be worshiped. On the other hand, the Beast is described also as community, structure and first of all as a state. A beast, horn, head are popular biblical signs indicating a kingdom, a state.

We emphasize that everything related to the activity of the Beast on earth is global. The Beast as kingdom is worldwide. Therefore, all the interpretations that suggest non-global structures or personalities by the Beast are either gross mistakes or deliberate misinformation.

The basic biblical concepts of the Beast

The book of Jonah tells us an interesting thing: it turns out that the devil (a sea monster) can swallow a person and this person remains alive.

There were late Renaissance ideas about the devil as one large personality that consists of many people. For example, the famous Leviathan of Hobbes, in which the state is both a person, and a structure, and a connection of people.

This early intuition did not arise from scratch, but as a result of the Job’s interpretation of Leviathan. The Book of Job takes this idea seriously, proposing certain concepts:

I. Leviathan is a community of people, political and religious: “his unity (σύνδεσμος) is like a stone smirites. One to another cleaves, and the Spirit cannot penetrate him. A man will cleave to his brother. They are remain united together, and cannot be separated” (Job 41: 7-9).

As you can see, Leviathan is a certain unity, the union σύνδεσμος (unity, union, bundle, cohesion, coupling, brace). It is not known what kind of stone “σμιρίτης” is, but the context shows that this union, this bond is very strong. Church in Greek is ecclesia, literally “convened meeting”. But Leviathan is a cohesion, a bundle. But what kind of cohesion? The cohesion of whom?

“One to another cleaves (to stick)“. The Bible is written in an extremely personalistic language, also has methods of describing structures with a high level of personality degradation (see more “The Structure of the Biblical History”). The expression “one to another” is analogous to “they” for the builders of the Tower of Babel. In the biblical language, the avoidance of mentioning a name, or any human characteristics and limiting only to a pronoun, tells us of a strong degradation of these people.

But further clarification is given of who these “they” are – these are people who “a man will cleave to his brother“. We first time hear the word to stick, to join, “cleave” דָּבַק, κολλαω in Adam’s declaration: “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave/join unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh” (Gen. 2:24).

Such adhesion is the union of man and woman into one flesh. Likewise, the union of God and men in the Bible is often represented as a marriage relationship: “For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church” (Eph. 5: 31,32).

In the Leviathan, it seems to be also a marriage relationships, but perverted – “a man to his brother” – this is a hint of sodomy. Religious relations are also perverted accordingly. Once the marriage term is used, it means that there is a perverted, religious connection of people in Leviathan. Moreover, the Spirit of God will not penetrate into this cohesion. And what is the spirit of this perverted religious union of people living in Leviathan?

“his eyes are as the appearance of the morning star (Lucifer)” (Job 41:10). The eyes are the window to the soul. Lucifer, the devil is the spirit of the religious cohesion of the people of Leviathan.

We read Job further: “Flesh with flesh is in his body; they cleave (דָּבַק, κολλαω, stick, join) to one another. (The Lord) pours upon him, but he shall not be moved” (Job 41:15). Leviathan has a body, which is made up of people in the flesh (the word “people” is not directly mentioned to emphasize the degradation of their personality). Where have we seen this before? In the doctrine of the Christian Church:

“For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another” (Rom. 12: 4,5); “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” (1Cr. 6:19); “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit” (1Cr.12:12-13); “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit” (1Co. 6:17).

Leviathan is an “anti-church”. That is, there is both a personality (the devil) and his body (people united, cleaved together). Only here everything is inside out. In the Church, each member is unique, valuable, has his place and work, and, like a marriage relationship, is in spiritual union with God. In Leviathan, the opposite is true. All are the same, their personalities are erased, there are not even individual members in the body of the Beast (all are named impersonally – “flesh”). There is no question of any special place for everyone: everyone is in a link with everyone, an analogue of the sodomite sin. Accordingly, a religious union with the devil is a pervert imitation of the Christian Church. This is the true church of Satan, not the cosplay of LaVey and the like.

Job in the light of Paul’s theology reveals to us this most difficult riddle of the Beast. Job’s story took place long before the emergence of not only the Christian church, but even before the Old Testament church of Moses. But it describes the events of the Last Times. This is the amazing integrity of the Bible.

However, the Leviathan/Beast has three “advantages” over the Church of Christ.

First. The Church is an assembly of free personalities. Each is unique, has its own place and ministry, and everyone is free. This means that an evil spirit can approach each member of the Church and tempt him to leave the Church. But one can’t leave Leviathan. The Spirit of God cannot penetrate there. Leviathan is not a union of free personalities, but a bundle, an alloy of degraded people. God pours out His Spirit on everyone: “I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh” (Joel 2:28), but pouring out the Spirit on Leviathan has no effect. If a person has already become a part of Leviathan, then that’s it.

Second. The Church is a religious association, and if worldly activity does not interfere with religion, then the Church has no special concern for it. A person who is a member of the Church lives his personal life. But there is nothing personal in the Beast-Leviathan, which means it is extremely totalitarian – “both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond” (Rev. 13:16). Outside Leviathan, man has nothing. The Beast is both man and humanity, it is a combination of both the religious and the worldly. Job has an interesting remark: “all the gold of the sea under him is an immense quantity of clay“. Gold of the sea (they traded by sea) is circulating money, the financial system. That is, the entire economy of the world is under the Beast. The Beast is everything: religion, politics, economics, culture, information sphere, etc. The beast is humanity. There will be a devil-Antichrist as a man and a devil-Leviathan as humanity.

Third. Inside the Leviathan, there is a constant enmity. Man is a wolf to man. But this internal enmity, in contrast to the internal Church enmity, does not weaken the Beast, but on the contrary strengthens it. Internal enmity is one of the bonds of Leviathan; this is such a paradox. In the Hebrew Job, in the phrase “One to another cleaves” instead of “cleave” it is written “approaching” יִגַּ֑שׁוּ  in the imperfect, which can mean a repeated, constant action. There is a permanent process – disintegration as a result of an internal war, but instantly everyone returns back to the cohesion: “But thou shalt lay thy hand upon him, remembering the war that is in his body; and let he will not be?” (Job 40:27). It is naive to think that since there is enmity among the cogs and knots of Leviathan, then one can play on it and defeat the Beast. The enmity only strengthens him. Even if in the underworld, Satan and his demons had enmity, this would weaken their strength: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?” (Mat.12:25-26). But in Leviathan, the devil incarnated in humanity, division does not weaken him. So let the enmity among the sons of this world (politics, wars) does not mislead anyone – it does not lead to division, but to their even greater rallying in the body of Leviathan. Probably, the rules of the game in the Beast are written out in such a way, that everyone will pull in the same direction in spite of enmity.

Now, knowing the basic structure of the Beast, we can remove the third contradiction.

Here is what Job said: “He makes the abyss boil like a brazen caldron; and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment, and the Tartar of the abyss as a captive: he reckons the abyss as his range. There is nothing upon the earth like to him…” (Job 41: 23-25).

Daniel: “four great beastscame up from the sea” (Dan. 7: 3); “great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth” (Dan.7: 17).

A clear contradiction, – so from the sea (the abyss) or from the earth? John has an explanation: “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority” (Rev.13: 1-2).

That is, the Beast of the sea, but comes out on the earth. John is seeing the process as the Leviathan/Beast comes out of the sea to the earth. However, we are immediately faced with a fundamental problem. John writes for a reason that he is standing on the sand of the sea:

“(God) have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it” (Jer. 5:22);

 “And I shut up the sea with gates, when it rushed out, coming forth out its mother’s womb. And I made a cloud its clothing, and swathed it in mist. And I set bounds to it, surrounding it with bars and gates. And I said to it, Hitherto shalt thou come, but thou shalt not go beyond, but thy waves shall be confined within thee” (Job 38: 8-11); “caused the morning star (Lucifer) to know his place” (Job 38:12).

God limited the power of the devil by the underworld (the deep sea), and the devil will not cross it.  But how will he conquered the earth?

We have to know that the devil has an access to the earth by means of his influence on man. Because of the fall of man, people became sinned. At the same time, man was created as a lord of the earth “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” (Gen. 1:28).

Then tempting and seducing man, the devil become the ruler of people and so the ruler of the world. Therefore the devil is called the prince of the world: “for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me” (John 14:30). However he is only the prince, not the king of the world. His form of the appearance, power and influence on people and world is limited by the real King who is God. The devil cannot use all his power against the earth, humanity, and faithful to Gog people by his own. Ant the most important – the devil is not prohibit to rule the world directly, but only via man. “And it came to pass on a day, that behold, the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came with them. And the Lord said to the devil, Whence art thou come? And the devil answered the Lord, and said, I am come from compassing the earth, and walking up and down in the world” (Job 1:6-7). To go around a plot of land according to the Bible semantic means to indorse an ownership. Then the devil brags that he owns the whole world. But he lies: “And the Lord said to him, Hast thou diligently considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a man blameless, true, godly, abstaining from everything evil?” (Job 1:8). God unmasks the devil’s deception, because while in the world there are faithful, godly people, the devil cannot be an owner, a king of the world.   

However, in the Last times, there will be a lot of wicked, but very few godly people: “when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8). Such a bad, wicked condition of humanity will enable the devil to become (for a short time) the king of the world.

Being limited by the abyss, Satan as an angel cannot triumph on the earth by himself. But he can triumph on the earth as the Beast-Antichrist in those, who are “made” of the earth, from the dust of the earth: in man. He also can triumph on the earth as the Beast-Leviathan in humanity, as in the state and “church”.  With the help of humans, Satan will be able to overcome the limitations imposed on him by God! The Beast does not appear overnight – it is a process and evolution. The devil will not cross the border from God himself, no matter how angry he is, but the people will move him across this border and in the people he will cross this border.

So, we see how to remove the contradictions in the description of the Beast-Leviathan. The Beast is a personality – because he is ruled by the spirit of the personality of Satan-Lucifer. But the Beast is a structure, because it consists of people who surrendered to Lucifer in irreversible slavery. The Beast is a form of religion (“pseudo-church”) – because it is composed according to the church principle, but also it is “worldly”, because it is totalitarian and everything that in one way or another concerns human life is subject to it: politics, culture, science, economics. And finally, the Beast is from the sea (the abyss) because it is the abode of the fallen angel Satan, and at the same time it is on earth and from the earth, because his body consists of earthly people.

II. Material character of Leviathan. What is the “fuel” of the Beast on the earth?

The serpent, tempting the first men, was punished by God with the limitation by means of matter: “upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life” (Genesis 3:14). The devil is limited by matter, and only by means of the material, he can tempt and enslave a man. Likewise, Behemoth in Job: “look at the beasts (θηρία, Behemoth בְּהֵמוֹת) before you; they eat grass like oxen“. The serpent eats dust, Behemoth (pl.) eat grass, under Leviathan is the entire economy, Leviathan is made up of people not as individuals, but as simply flesh, which is synonymous with matter.

In general, Job emphasizes in every possible way the material nature of Leviathan: “His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil” (Job 41:16), “His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is cast iron” (Job 40:13).

Likewise, Daniel writes about the fierce fourth beast: “whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet” (Dan. 7:19). His material ferocity is iron and copper.

How do different members unite in the one Christian body? By the Holy Spirit. The Spirit works in every member, which leads to unity of faith in love. Leviathan has flesh at work. Human material carnal desires bind people into the body of the Leviathan-Beast. Christians are together by the action of the Spirit, who is extra-material. The devil cannot do this and he imitates the union according to the Spirit in the Christ’s Body, by means of the union according to the flesh in the devil’s body. The Leviathan Beast is an earthly, materialistic, carnal simulation of the Church (see our work “The Structure of the Biblical History” about the Matrix as the devil’s “materialization” of the spiritual).

This is what Paul writes about spirit and flesh: “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” (Gal 5: 16-23).

The devil is the prince of matter and at the same time he is bound by matter. And since man, even as a result of sin, received a tendency to dependence on the material, but also received the opportunity in spirit, mind, to resist and reject material temptations from the devil. And this means that the devil is trying to replace a person’s spirit, mind with matter, more precisely, with the material Matrix.

The key characteristic of the First Beast is that his “body” is made up of many people, interconnected by various, but all carnal, material ties: power, physical strength, commodity-money relations, and finally an information web. Actually, for these interconnections this Matrix is ​​made. 

III. The technological nature of Leviathan is the network

We have defined the general nature of the Leviathan-Beast as a cohesion of people based on matter. But what is the form, the way of this cohesion? It is technology.

In the John’s description of the Second Beast – Antichrist, there is: “And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed” (Rev.13: 14-15); “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Rev.13: 16-17).

People may to have made some technology; the False Prophet will apply electronic concentration camp technologies to all people on the earth. In the direct descriptions of the Leviathan Beast, little is said directly about technology, but indirectly one can see that everything there is literally stuffed with technologies, information and network. In general, all wicked entities in the world are always highly dependent on technology. Let’s immediately indicate the general technology of cohesion in Leviathan.

Describing Behemoth, Job says: “his nerves (νεῦρα tendons) are weaved“. The tendons of animals and humans are not intertwined, weaved but parallel (thanks to this, people made ropes and bowstrings from them). However, Behemoth’s tendons are somehow weaved.

And in his name – Leviathan is laid a lot of sense: Leviathan לִוְיָתָן   “livyatan” – is curly or weaving. It comes from the words לָוָה  “lava” A (qal): 1. to accompany; to borrow. B (ni): join, stick, cleave. לִוְיַת  “livya” wreath, garland.

Jacob’s story has an interesting moment: “And she (Leah) conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined לָוָה unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi לֵוִֽי ” (Gen. 29:34). That is the word לָוָה  can have a context of adhesion, weaving, binding.

Do you see the tendency? Here is the Tower of Babel with dead bricks as a new humanity, here is the Kabbalistic Babylonian view of the world as an impersonal digital system and matrix, here is the Beast as a global totalitarian kingdom, here is Leviathan as a network. The network connects people in Leviathan.

The devil is often represented in the Bible as a bird-catcher. A bird is the sign of a soul of man, and he catches it with a net. The sea beast also wields its net: “And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? He takes up all of them with the angle, he catches them in their net, and gathers them in their drag: therefore he rejoice and are glad. Therefore he sacrifices unto his net, and burns incense unto his drag; because by them his portion is fat, and his meat plenteous” (Hab. 1: 14-16).

Let’s pay attention to what Habakkuk writes: “he sacrifices unto his net, and burns incense unto his drag“. Leviathan produces religious service (sacrifice and incense) to his technological tool with which he catches people. We see the connection between technology and religion. John also writes about this: people make something technological “an image to the Beast” with their own hands and then they worship its.

The devil as an evil spirit, the dragon catches souls in a net by means of temptations. How can this be embodied in the material world? It could be an information network or the Matrix. And it is anchored to a special image of the Beast: for Hobbes as a devil in the form of a system of human souls, for Kurzweil in the form of a transpersonal utopia, or the film “Lucy“.

IV. Leviathan is impermeable – Leviathan is a very hard and impenetrable. This is manifested in the fact that:

– The inner essence of the Beast, hidden behind its mask and protection, cannot be seen by a man on his own: “Who will open the face of his garment? and who can enter within the fold of his breastplate? Who will open the doors of his face? the round of his teeth is terror” (Job 41: 5-6). That is, who will remove the mask and see the true face, the true essence of this creature? All that we know about the Beast is given to us by God in the Scripture, but a man cannot learn anything by means of an independent research.

– The Beast cannot be frightened, moved to pity. One can’t come to an agreement with him:“Will he address thee with a petition? softly, with the voice of a suppliant? And will he make a covenant with thee?” (Job 40: 27-28).

– A man cannot enslave or take control over the Beast-Leviathan: “But wilt thou catch the dragon (Leviathan) with a hook, and put a halter about his nose?Or wilt thou fasten a ring in his nostril, and bore his lip with a clasp? … And wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or bind him as a sparrow for a child?” (Job 40: 22-24). If you collect all the forces of the earth, then it will still be impossible to defeat the Beast: “And do the nations feed upon him, and the nations of the Phoenicians share him? And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail; neither shall they carry his head in fishing-vessels” (Job 40: 25-26). On the contrary, the Beast can easily conquer and enslave a man.

– However, man can resist the Beast on equal terms: “the word of power will have mercy on the one who is equal to him” (Job 41: 4). Man has a weapon against Leviathan – this is mental enmity. If a man is resistant to the temptations the devil, then no beast will forcefully enslave him. The power of Christians is Christ on the Cross. It is not given to man to defeat the Beast, but to confront him on equal terms. Only God can defeat the Beast: “Hast thou not seen him? and hast thou not wondered at the things said of him? Dost thou not fear what has been prepared for Me? for who is there that resists Me? Or who will resist Me, and abide, since the whole world under heaven is Mine?“ (Job 41: 1-3).

– Against the Beast, physical, material force is powerless: “If spears come against him, it will effect nothing, either with the spear or the breast-plate. For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood. The bow of brass shall not would him, he deems a slinger as grass. Hammers are counted as stubble; and he laughs at a fiery earthquake” (Job 41: 18-21). Well, let us remind you that permanent internal war in the Beast does not weaken the Beast and cannot be used to fight it.

The Holy Spirit cannot penetrate the Beast, which means that those who become part of the Beast are forever deprived of the Holy Spirit and perish. Those who become part of it will not break free. If you have been connect to the network, you cannot disconnect the electrodes, and no one will offer a red pill to exit the Matrix. Therefore, living in the networked world, one must remember that the integration of a man there and the use of networks for Christian purposes is possible only as long as there is a way out of the network, the ability to get out, go back. When the exit begins to block, you need removed yourself from the network. (See more in our work “The Christianity in the technetronic era”).

Now we have a knowledge of ​​what Leviathan is: a high-tech church-state of Satan made up of people. Now we can look with different eyes both at early Renaissance intuitions of him and at his modern ideas in philosophy, technology and art.

How the Beast acts in the world

The description of the events of the beasts in chapter 13 of the Apocalypse is also non-linear, and chiastic. First comes the general, final conclusion: the world worshipped the Beast: “and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the Beast: and they worshipped the Beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” (Rev.13: 3,4).

One can imagine how people will religiously worship the devil as a fallen angel, but what does it mean to worship the First Beast, which, as we learned, is both a community of joined, “cleaved” people, the state and the “church of Satan”? The only answer is that to worship the First Beast means to recognize his political power and join his satanic church.

We have already written that the central event of the whole book of Revelation is chapter 11 with the description of the last sermon of repentance of the two prophets. It was also shown that the structure of the third part of the book from chapter 12 to 19 is chiastic, in the center of which, (and therefore the most important) there is the Beast. The chiastic structure of a story is poetry, not of rhythm, but of meaning. It does not indicate the sound, but the most important. This structure does not allow us to consider the events of the narrative as a reflection of the chronological order. However, there are many indications in the text to present the true chronology as well.

Therefore, for example, in the book of Apocalypse first there is a description of the Beast, and then the Babylonian harlot. This is for the purpose of semantic chiasm. But further in the text it is clearly explained, and more than once, that chronologically in history, first will be the Babylonian harlot, and then the Beast will come out of the sea.

The situation is similar in chapter 13. The sequence of the description of events in the text does not correspond to their historical sequence, however, the text provides hints as to how this sequence will occur.

A. The Beast comes out of the sea, with the strength and spirit of the Dragon, behaves like an equal to God, deceives and frightens with its strength so that people worship him.

          B. The Beast reaches the peak of power and defeats two prophets of God and other saints. But this is not for long, and both beasts will be destroyed.

A’. The Second beast comes out of the earth, with the strength and spirit of the Dragon, behaves like the Messiah (horns like a lamb), deceives with miracles so that people worship the First Beast, scares with death so that people worship.

It is important that chapter 13 contains a brief description of the events of chapter 11. When the apogee and triumph of the First Beast took place in the world – the Beast will behave blasphemously. As a reminder, that the Bible’s concept of blasphemy is to make oneself equal to God. Christ was crucified for blasphemy, not for swearing at God, but for the fact that Christ behaved as an equal to God.

“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Rev.13: 5-8).

This passage is the semantic center of chapter 13. Here two chiasms converged in the one center: the main chiasm of Revelation – the events of chapter 11 with the preaching of two prophets and the chiasm of the fragment of the book from chapter 12 to chapter 19, in which the center is the Beast.

Further, John writes: “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints” (Rev.13: 10). In essence, this is a retelling of the phrase “for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword” (Mat.26: 52). John says that he who conquered by force will himself soon be defeated by force. And the saints need to endure. You cannot defeat the power of the Beast. This concludes the central story of chapter 13.

We have opened the main semantic chiasm of chapter 13. But in chapter 13 there is another layer of meaning, presented in the form of parallelism typical of the Bible.

Chapter 13 contains two parallel descriptions of events. Firstly verses 1-10, and then the same description (verses 11-18) of the same events, only from a different point of view. Verses 1-10 describe how people are pushed (by deception and fear) to worship the First Beast. The First Beast is a system, a structure moving towards triumph, but so far, there is no triumph, so far the Beast is just climbing out of the sea. Who is the main enticement and propagandist of the Beast? Verses 11-18 describe in detail who this is and how specifically people will be led to worship the First Beast. These two blocks, verses 1-10 and 11-18, represent a completely parallel narrative. Only the second story is more detailed. We have divided these narratives, each into eight parallel segments of meaning: 

1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea	1. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth
2. having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy	2. he had two horns like a lamb
3. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority	3. he spake as a dragon
4. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?	4. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed
5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.	5. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
6. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.	6 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed
7. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.	7 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
8. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.	8. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Let’s look at these parallelisms:

1.      Beasts appear. One is from the sea, this is the Beast as a system, like humanity, and the other is from the earth, as a man.

2.      Horns. For the First Beast, the 10 horns are ten godless kingdoms making themselves equal to God, which at the last moment will transfer power to the Beast. For the Second Beast, two horns are like the Lamb’s – this means that the second Beast will imitate Christ the Messiah.

3.      The Beast as humanity acts in the spirit and power of Satan – the fallen angel. The second beast-man is also possessed by the spirit of Satan.

4.      Both stories say that people, astonished at the healed First Beast, will worship him. Moreover, the First and Second beasts are in tandem – the Second Beast acts as a false prophet in order to push people to worship the First Beast, that is, to drive humanity into a state-church called the First Beast or Leviathan.

5.      The First Beast makes himself equal to God. The Second beast, by making false signs, makes himself equal to the Messiah. So fire “come down from heaven on the earth” is an imitation of the coming of Christ: “as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day” (Luke 17:24); “and fire came down from God out of heaven” (Rev.20: 9).

6.      The First Beast conquers the saints, and by fear he finally gains power over the world. The Second Beast makes the image of the First Beast and, like a false prophet, demands to worship it, and kills the saints to cause fear. It is still difficult for us to imagine what this image of the Beast is, into which the devilish spirit also enters, but, obviously, it is something technological.

7.      All who do not have the seal of God and an entry in the Book of Life, then worship the First Beast. God has His own list and His own account. Those who are written in this book have a part in the Kingdom of God, or rather in God Himself. The Second beast imitates God’s list of saints and demands that all the people of the world be written down and that those who accept the Beast should be marked. Who will receive this mark – have a fate in the kingdom of the First Beast.

8.      These are verses of consolation. Concerning the First Beast, a call for patience and understanding that this is not for long and the Beast will be defeated. For this, it is enough to have ears to hear this consolation. With regard to the parallel segment, a key is given to understand the meaning and mark of the Beast. However for this one need to have a mind.

Finally, we need, based on what is given to us in Scripture, to restore the historical sequence of events associated with the Beast, because, as we have determined, it does not always coincide with the sequence of events in the text of Apocalypse.

The triumph of the world satanic state, “church”, civilization, and in general, satanic humanity will be brief. John writes about 42 months.

We already know that even before the events of chapter 13, at first the Beast was in the waters, and on him was the Babylonian Harlot. Then the Harlot will be overthrown by ten kingdoms and for some time they will receive power in the world.

Yes, and the events of chapter 13, and what will happen after (seven plagues) is a long process. The Beast himself will come out of the sea to the earth, to whom ten kingdoms will give power. The Beast will come out of the sea and gain strength in the world gradually only by the fact that more and more people will worship him, serve, become a part of him. Therefore, before the Beast comes, the Second Beast/Antichrist, who prepares the world to accept the First Beast, lures humanity by means of miracles and drives them by means of fear. For this, he even creates a religious cult of the Beast and puts a mark on those who worship the Beast. In the Apocalypse it is impossible to understand exactly when the Second Beast/Antichrist appears – either together with the Beast, before or after him. But this is clearly stated in Job and Daniel.

The fact that the Beast-Antichrist walks before the Beast-kingdom is written in the book of Job – “before him perdition runs (the Leviathan)” (Job 41:14). The running upright beast is the name of the Antichrist in Isaiah. Paul says about the Antichrist: “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God ” (2Phs. 2: 3.4). This means that the Third Temple should be rebuilt, where the Antichrist will sit. Similarly, Daniel writes about the first lion-beast, with plucked off eagle wings and with a human heart, indicating by this that the False Prophet/Antichrist must be from the Jews. In the book of Daniel this lion-beast the first came up.

And here is what John says in his epistle about the Antichrist: “…as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us… Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also” (1 John 2: 18-23).

John says that already in the early years of Christianity, even before the writing of Revelation, Christians had an idea of ​​the antichrist. Anyone who rejects Jesus as the Messiah is the antichrist. Who could deny it? Only the Jews who have a common root with Christians, but then turned from the right path: “They went out from us, but they were not of us“. From the Jews, even then there were antichrists who rejected Jesus. Finally, John quotes Jesus in the Apocalypse, calling Judaism, which did not accept Jesus as the Messiah, “the synagogue of Satan“. But in the Last times a special exalted Antichrist will come.

Once the Antichrist\False prophet will drive everyone into the Beast, and those who refuse will be killed or expelled from society and will be marginalized. The Beast will kill the last two prophets and achieve triumph for a short time, but: “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them” (1 Ths 5: 2,3). God will begin to send plagues to the Beast and those who become part of him. And at the end of the plagues, the Beast and the False Prophet\Antichrist will be thrown alive into the lake of fire. These events will also take a long time.

According to our hypothesis (see “The Biblical Apocalyptic Chronology”), all these events related to the Beast will take about 70 years from the beginning of its ascent to its collapse.

How do the Beast and Antichrist act in the world in relation to humanity? – Carrot and stick, seduction and intimidation.

John sees the Beast gradually emerging from the sea. This is a lengthy process. Everyone sees this and is amazed at him: “Who is like unto the beast?” writes John. “There is nothing upon the earth like to him (Leviathan)” – it is written in the book of Job. In heaven there are similar ones and even higher, but not on the earth. The world did not know this yet – such strength and power. Surely the kingdom of the Beast will have its own positive program of global transformations, overcoming crises, universal happiness and justice. Everyone has always promised this, but at last there is someone who can do it. And it is natural that all nations and people of the world worship the Beast, recognize, and go to serve him, whose hearts have not been touched by the Holy Spirit of God and who are not written in the Book of Life.

The First and Second beasts act together. The Second beast, the Antichrist, the False prophet, goes before the first Beast and deceives first with seductions: miracles, signs, religiously legitimizing the power of the first Beast. And those who are not deceived by the Beasts are waiting for a intimidation: “the round of his teeth is terror“ (Job 41: 6).

It should be noted that the total destruction of Christians is probably out of the question. The devil is interested in being worshiped and therefore he will intimidate with death. In addition, the death of people, especially Christians, is not monopolized by the devil. God decides it. John writes that you need to believe and endure, because the devil will not triumph in the world for long.

What are Christians to do? Exit and not enter whether it be the Babylon Harlot or the Beast. But the technical infrastructure can be used temporarily being in Christian interests. How is this possible? God gives Christians to have the opportunity to live in this world, but not be a part of it (the Church has “wings of a great eagle” (Rev. 12:14)).

Another idea of the Apocalypse is an ultimate choice. The Beast, in contrast to all other eras and situations, before everyone, regardless of country and position, will give the choice that cannot be avoided. And then those who will not accept the Beast will only have to endure. There will come a time when instead of the “wings of a great eagle” – the patience of the saints. 

The evolution of the Beast.

The Beast in the world does not appear suddenly, but has a long history and Revelation reveals it to us.

“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is” (Rev.17: 8).

This means the history of the Beast in the world: he was already, then he was destroyed, and he will appear in the world from the abyss. “The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit” – a grotesque parallel with the Messiah, “which is, and which was, and which is to come” (Rev.1: 4).

 “And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast” (Rev.13:3).

“So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns” (Rev.17: 3).

“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast” (Rev.17: 8-13).

“And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire” (Rev.17: 16).

The beast in the desert is the devil, the one who was at enmity with the Woman-Church. Now the Babylonian Harlot sits on him. John sees her in the wilderness. The desert is an image of a sinful, godless, pagan world. On the other hand, the Harlot sits on the waters. Waters are peoples, water-sea is also the devil’s dwelling place. These images indicate that the Beast is still in the water and has not come out on the earth. That is, the Harlot sits on the Beast until the Beast emerges from the water onto dry land.

The angel first explains that the existence of the Beast and his activities are connected with his heads: “The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space“

To avoid any confusion, the angel immediately proceeds to explain that the seven hills (the seven heads) on which the woman sits, mean “seven kings” that is a symbol of the world’s powers or empires (Dan. 7:17). The seven mountains represent the seven successive world powers that have ruled the world throughout the history and via which Satan has worked to oppress God’s people for centuries. Thus, the Great Whore finds the support of the Beast, who appears in history as a succession of wicked kingdoms. The five that fell are the empires that ruled the world before the John’s time: probably Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, and Greece; the sixth, the one what “is” – Rome Empire in the time of John; the appearance of one that “not yet come” is in the future from the perspective of John.

“And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven“

It is said very interestingly. First, we are talking about the six heads of the Beast. These are kingdoms that have already received power. Whereas ten horns (ten kingdoms) will receive it only for a short time at the end, when they throw off their lord – the Babylonian Harlot, and then they will transfer their power to the Beast.

Each of the earthly world empires up to the sixth, Roman, contemporary to John, is a mediator representing the interests of the Beast, personifies his ambitions on the earth. But the Beast himself is still in the sea, on the waters, and cannot go onto dry land.

But then the sixth head, the sixth kingdom of the devil – pagan Rome, was defeated by Christ, creating Christianity. This is not just the death of pagan Rome, it is also a mortal wound to the Beast as such. His most important and successful project on the earth was destroyed. The destruction of pagan Rome and the emergence of Christianity inflicted a mortal wound on the Beast in the abyss and seemingly puts an end to its ambitions to build a world satanocratic state: this Beast was and is not. The devil is like an angel – immortal. It can be fettered, thrown into a lake of fire, but cannot be killed. God defeats the hypostasis of the devil that can be destroyed – the devil as a man or the devil as humanity.

The whole Old Testament tells about this wound. According to the OT, God or Messiah will defeat the devil in general and the beast-Leviathan in particular with a sword in the head. This is stated in the book of Genesis (the story about fall of man). The book of Job, Isaiah, psalms tells about it: “Thou brakest the heads of leviathan” (Psalm.74:14) ; “the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea” (Isa.27: 1); “That Behemot … he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him” (Hebrew Job 40: 14).

Daniel, however, does not specify how the Beast / the Haughty Horn will be defeated, only specifies that before defeat the Horn will be judged by the judges: “But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end ” (Dan 7:26). Similarly, in chapter 19 John writes about 24 elders-judges (Rev.19: 4) and about Christ on horseback with a sword, but “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet… both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone” ( Rev.19: 20). And where is the blow with the sword, because they were not killed with the sword, but thrown into the lake of fire alive? That is, the Beast had to be hit twice?

But after all, God, the Messiah had already struck the Beast in the head with a sword, as it was promised to Adam! It is happening something incredible. The Beast’s wound is healed, and he not only does not die, but also receives the strength to overcome the boundaries and restrictions imposed on him by God, to come on the earth and build his global satanocratic state there. People heal the wound of the Beast. Those who will take him out on the earth, into the world.

What does it mean God’s hit, strike in the head of the Beast-Leviathan? This is the fact that a different, non-matrix, non-secular reality is open to people both in the form of knowledge and thinking (the Bible and the biblical language), and a special form of life in the world, without becoming a part of it – the Church.

The devil’s Matrix loses its monopoly; and a different life, a different path and other goals are opened to humanity. The presence of Scripture and the Church, led by the Holy Spirit, is that “wound to death” in the head of the Beast-Leviathan. The devil thus loses his monopoly on the interpretation of reality, and hence the monopoly on the human spirit.

But people heal the Leviathan’s head. What does it mean? It is the fact that people almost offset the Church and the Bible, making it possible for the devil to claim the monopoly of his Matrix, and to build a global church-state of Satan.

The counteracting of the Bible and the Church occurs through the making and imposition on Christians of a matrix theology, a matrix interpretation of Scripture, a matrix religious worldview and matrix church structure, and church life. This is precisely what is in the overwhelming majority of Christian confessions are today. Today, the need for non-matrix theology and church life of Christians is extremely urgent.

“And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven“.  

N.B. The story is about the heads of the Beast – the earthly kingdoms, but then the story suddenly goes again about the Beast, which will directly become the seventh and at the same time the eighth kingdom in the world, that is, the very Beast about which John talks so much. Previously, only earthly ordinary pagan kingdoms-empires (from Egypt to Rome) ruled on the earth. They were the “followers” ​​of the Beast on the earth, but now the seventh / eighth kingdom will appear in the world, but it will no longer be just a “governor” or “follower”, but the Beast himself will come out of the abyss on the earth.

Similarly, in the book of Daniel: “And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High…” (Dan. 7: 24-25). Daniel says that a special kingdom will appear from the forth beast-kingdom – a special Horn that speaks arrogantly (that is, makes itself equal to God). The sign of this kingdom in John is the Beast (speaking about the heads, he calls it also the last 7-8^th head of the Beast), and Daniel uses the image of the Horn. After ten horns-kingdoms, another eleventh Horn will arise – the Beast of the Apocalypse, which will demand divine worship for itself. It is important not to get confused here. The Biblical signs: the beast, horns, heads are images of kingdoms. Both John and Daniel are talking about the same thing, only using different signs. This complicates the study of Scripture, but the right context makes it clear.

Let’s summarize the process of the Beast’s release into the world .

First, the Beast sits in the prison allotted to him by God – the abyss. On the earth he operates with the help of large human kingdoms-empires, called by John “the heads of the Beast”. There were six of them, the sixth – pagan Rome, to which Christianity inflicted a mortal wound.

The Beast sits in the abyss, sending only his heads in turn to the earth. He has suffered a mortal wound, but his people are healing him. Then the Beast begins to appear on the surface of the water: it has seven heads, six of which have already worked their way, and the seventh is the very kingdom of the Beast, which is preparing to take over the world. Ten horns also stick out of the Beast. These are the kingdoms-vassals of the world kingdom of the Beast, who come after the collapse of the sixth head-Rome and rule the world, preparing to transfer power to the Beast.

For a certain period of time, all these ten vassal horns of the Beast are under a unique, first truly global formation – the Babylonian Harlot. It is a global secular world empire based on an economy and a consumer society.

The Beast has not yet emerged on land, but has already surfaced, and at first, New Babylon sits on it. Why did the Beast manage to surface? Because people started to heal him.

The foundation of New Babylon was laid during the Renaissance. It is interesting that during the Renaissance, its adherents constantly tried to emphasize that the Roman Empire came to an end, that it no longer exists, and all those Holy Roman Empires, Byzantium, etc. are a pathetic imitation. Why would Renaissance ideologues stress this? Maybe then, to show that the times of the sixth, Roman head of the Beast have already passed, and the gradual emergence of the Beast from the abyss and his healing begins.

The new Great Babylon developed for a long time and for more than 600 years, by the beginning of the 21st century, reached the peak of its power. What will happen next?

The ten horn-kingdoms will rebel against Babylon and destroy it. These ten kingdoms: “And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast” (Rev.17: 12-13). We are already witnessing the crisis of Babylon and the manifestation of new trends in the world – the beginning of the époque of ten kingdoms, or the Age of Aquarius – the era of preparation for the meeting of the Antichrist and the accession of the Beast.

After the collapse of Babylon, the Beast, without any smokescreen of the Babylon harlot, will take power in the world through its ten vassals. But the reign of these kingdoms will be brief. At the end of their brief reign, the False Prophet-Antichrist will come into the world, who will lead humanity, launching a campaign for humanity’s acceptance of the Beast. The Beast will come in the world, gain power, and achieve a brief triumph.

Then God will send the last seven plagues on the Beast, after which the Beast and the False Prophet will be annihilated, the devil will be tied and the conditionally Millennial Kingdom of Christ will come in the world.

Instead of an afterword.

David has an amazing psalm that contains almost everything that we wrote about the Beast, his intrigues and his future destruction by God:

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

(Psalm. 124: 1-8)

We have already unveiled the chronology and structure of the apocalyptic events (see our works “The Biblical Apocalyptic Chronology”, “An Attempt of Reconstruction of the Chronology of Christian Era” and “The Structure of the Biblical History”). Now it is time to represent the structure of the Book of Apocalypse and to interpret the key event of the Last times – the Beast of Apocalypse.

The book of the Apocalypse is deeply Jewish, probably the most Jewish of all the books of the New Testament. It is like a mosaic made up of pieces of Old Testament literature. Therefore, without a good knowledge of the Old Testament, and the Old Testament apocrypha, there is nothing to do here.
The Book of the Apocalypse is the most difficult in the New Testament, because it contains several layers of semantic codes. Deciphering each of them is a daunting task. The Apocalypse is both chiasm, and the meaning of numbers, and the names of God, and the vision of God, and temple rites, and the old apocalyptic literature (books of Daniel, Enoch, and Jubilees). All these layers are not parallel, but intertwined. All of this requires interpretation.
This situation leads to two errors of interpretation:

1. A beginner to read a book is immediately captivated by its picturesque images and loses both the general plot and the semantic line.
2. Or, on the contrary, the reader accepts some version of the interpretation in advance and while reading the book sees only it, not paying attention to the multi-story meanings.

The Apocalypse is a series of visions that were given to John at different times. John saw some visions on earth; John saw other visions in Heaven. Then the plots of these visions were intricately encoded with biblical signs and recorded in a book that we now call the Apocalypse or Revelation.
The characters of the Apocalypse: God, the Devil, people faithful to God – Christians (and the Christian church), wicked people hostile to God.
All visions contain a vision of two realities: Heaven, in particular the Heavenly Sanctuary, and earth, this world. The whole story is presented as a relationship between the realities of Heaven and earth. Throughout the book’s narrative, Heaven and earth are separated, and are in different realities. But in the epilogue, Heaven and Earth are transformed (New Heaven and New Earth) and finally unite as one reality.

The Revelation consists from the six parts:  

I. introduction;

II. message to the seven churches in Asia;

III. history till the culmination and Last times;

IV. culmination;

V. story about the Beast (the Last times);

VI. epilogue.

I. The introduction (chapter 1) describes who revealed the secrets of God, to whom and why.

II. Chapters 2-3 concern events contemporary to John – this is a message from God to the seven churches in Asia (modern Turkey) in which the actual problems of these churches are considered and instructions on what to do. It should be noted that the problems of the churches of the time of John are similar to the problems of all churches in all ages, and therefore, like the letters of Paul and other apostles, remain relevant to this day and serve as an important source of Christian life.

III. Chapters 4-9 concern the religious history of the world from John to the beginning of the Last Times (or, in other words, to the beginning of the End). In fact, this is a development in the details of the gospel story of Christ about world history: “the disciples came unto him privately, saying, tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?… ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake… And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Mat.24: 3-14).

Part III consists of three sub-parts, which describe various historical events, and their scale gradually increases. It is necessary to understand that events are described here are the events of religious history, relations between Christians and the wicked in the context of faith and fidelity to Jesus.
First John sees what is happening in Heaven, and then how it is reflected in earthly events. Initially six seals are opened (chapters 4-6). The first four seals will mark the general sorrows for the world: “nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows”. Yes, the world is waiting for various cataclysms and there will be many of them. But these cataclysms contain two kinds of sorrows – the sorrows of Christians and of the wicked. The fifth seal tells us that the wicked oppress Christians: “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake” but God will not leave it just like that, and the sixth seal outlines what awaits the wicked.
This is an introductory outline of the story – the world will face cataclysms and suffering, and Christians will suffer from the wicked, but for their faith and patience will be rewarded (Chapter 7), and the wicked will be punished by God.
The seventh seal reveals to us a new level of sorrow about the afflictions for the wicked. It reveals a series of executions in the form of six trumpets (chapters 8-9). But one need to understand that this is already a detailed description of what, in general, the sixth seal tells us. All executions of the seven trumpets are purely executions of the wicked, and this does not apply to faithful Christians. Moreover, the first four trumpets are natural disasters, and the fifth and sixth are disasters directly on people. Executions for the wicked are not just out of revenge, but God expects the wicked to repent. But unfortunately: “And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts” (Rev.9: 20,21). There was no repentance.

IV.The chiastic culmination (chapters 10-11).
Chapter 10 describes the John’s new vision: “And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer” (Rev.10: 5-6).

A special Angel (most likely this is either the Archangel Michael, or Christ Himself) stands with his feet over the whole earth (which speaks of something already global) and we are talking about seven thunders, which John was ordered to hide. There is a hypothesis that this means that the events of the seven thunders are canceled.
It is important to note here that the sorrows of the first four seals affect a quarter of the people. And the events of executions of six trumpets are already a third. Many commentators believe that the expected events of the seven thunders should already concern a half of all people. As you can see, the narrative line of these events is on an increasing scale. How can this be explained? Probably, over time, the preaching of Christianity is expanding more and more, reaching more and more countries and reaching more and more people. More and more people become faithful and, accordingly, more and more wicked oppose this. But the events of the seven thunders are canceled, perhaps because the previous executions showed that, like the Egyptians in the time of Moses, the wicked in the era of Christianity, even under the pressure of executions, persist and do not want to repent.

Attention. Until the events of the Last times and climax all the world events, described in the Apocalypse are local. The last global event in the biblical history before the Last times was  the Babylonian tower; the next global event will be the Babylonian whore. Everything between these biblical events are local. That is the globalization of the world is a clear signal that the last times have begun. See more our work “The Structure of the Biblical History”.

The scale of events become global, therefore, the Lord introduces his most powerful argument for sinful humanity. Now comes the culmination of the entire book of the Apocalypse. For the Western people, it is customary that the culmination of the narrative is always at the end. But in oriental literature based on chiasmas, the climax is always in the middle of the text.

There is an oath of Yahweh by himself, repeating the same oath given in vision to Daniel before describing the end of times (Dan. 12). John, having eaten the already open book, receives a vision of the events of the Last times, which begin with the culminating event.

“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months” (Rev. 11:1-2).

For a short time, Christians around the world receive protection from the wicked. John measures with a rod, as an instrument of power, that is, shows the protection of faithful Christians.

“And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth” (Rev. 11:1-2). The two prophets personify the last global preaching of the Gospel and repentance (“clothed in sackcloth” means repentance). Prophets preach, but this has little effect and the Beast kills them. Then God resurrects them and some of the sinners, seeing this, repent. But that’s all. “The nations were angry” and the Seventh Angel trumpets that the Judgment and the Last times are approaching. This is the end of the culmination of the Apocalypse.

V. Chapters 12-20 tell us a detailed story about the Beast and the Last times. In fact, this is a detailed transcript of the prophecy of Christ from the Gospel: “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Math.24: 23-37).
It describes the order of the events of the Last times, as well as their exact chronology – the last sermon of the Gospel, the fall of Babylon, the reign of the 10 kingdoms, the kingdom of the Beast, the last persecutions against Christians, the last seven plagues against whom who received the mark of the Beast, the imprisonment of Satan in prison, the millennial kingdom , the release of Satan for a short time, preparation for the final battle, the Last Judgment and the End of the history of this world.
In chapters 12-13 we have an introduction that briefly describes the history of the emergence of the Church, its relationship with God, as well as the history of the fall of Satan and his enmity with the Church. First, the Church received power from God and the ability to avoid being completely defeated by the devil. But at the end of time, the hour will come when Satan and his earthly manifestations – the Beast and the False Prophet / Antichrist will defeat the Church and many of the faithful will suffer, and the whole world will worship the devil.
Further, in chapter 14, there is the consolation of Christians who suffered from the wicked servants of the Beast, and also it is briefly described the sequence of events of the last times (the last global stage of the preaching of the Gospel, the fall of Babylon and executions for those who accepted the mark of the Beast).
In Chapter 15 John sees a new vision of rituals in Heaven, which in chapter 16 pass to earth in the form of the last seven plagues for those who received the mark of the Beast. Let us note once again that the entire book of the Apocalypse describes the executions and sufferings that God sends, but these are executions for the enemies of Christianity and the servants of the devil. Faithful Christians endure sorrows because of persecution from the wicked. Then, after the sixth execution, all sinners are gathered in one place called Armageddon to fight with Christ. And the seventh angel pours out his vial. This is some kind of super-terrifying geological cataclysm that history has not yet known. What is the meaning of these executions? God still hopes that at least a small part of sinners will repent under the influence of executions. However, from executions they grow even more ferocious: they “blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory” (Rev.16: 9).

And here text of Revelation John pauses.
In 17, 18 and in the first three verses of chapter 19, there is a shift from the main chronological line of the narrative. Chapter 13 describes who the Beast is. In chapter 14 we have already been given a sequence of events in which the New Babylon is mentioned. Then there is a description of the seven plagues for those who took the mark of the Beast, and Babylon is mentioned only in passing. And what about Babylon? In chapters 17-18 John makes a digression, in which he describes in more detail what the Babylonian Harlot is, what the end awaits her, who will destroy the Harlot (10 kingdoms) and how the Beast will receive his power (from those 10 kingdoms). It is noticed that the description of the events in heaven – in the Heavenly Sanctuary, until the culmination of Revelation, resemble the usual services in the Jerusalem Temple. But later, the heaven events resemble the rituals performed on Yom Kippur, the day of judgment.
From the fourth verse of chapter 19, as well as the entire chapter 20, there is a return to the story, stopped after the seventh vial of executions for the servants of the Beast.

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war” (Rev.19: 11).

Heaven opens and God Enters the Arena of Earth History. This participation of God in history can be divided into two parts – a demonstration, portent in which prototypes of the events of the End of the World will be revealed, and then after a while the events of the End themselves will occur.
The great battle in Armageddon (the prototype of the Last battle of “Gog and Magog”) and the preliminary judgment (the judgment preceding the Last Judgment) are the last demonstration and warning to humanity. An angel, by order of God, destroys many wicked people and the earthly incarnations of Satan – the Beast and the false prophet “both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone”. And the very angel-Satan is bound a thousand years in the underworld and casted into the bottomless pit. Faithful people who were killed by the Beast and its servants will be resurrected and will reign with Christ on earth for those a “thousand years”. Actually, this Millennial Kingdom on this earth, is also prototype of the future Kingdom of Christ on the New earth, is also the last sign from God for mankind. The other dead will not be resurrected and will wait for their fate during the General Resurrection and the Last Judgment.
Then, after the Millennial kingdom, for a short time, the devil will be released from prison, and not prototypes will begin, but directly the events of the End. The devil again, having gathered his minions around the world (“Gog and Magog”), decides to go to the Last Battle to destroy the people faithful to God. But as soon as the army of the devil is gathered, fire from Heaven will fall and devour him. After this, the General Resurrection of all people and the Last Judgment itself takes place. The devil and his minions will forever be thrown into the lake of fire.

VI. And instead of the old world, God will create both the New Heaven and the New Earth, in which evil will never be, and all the righteous and faithful will reign forever together with Christ. Actually, the description of this New Heaven and Earth is in the epilogue of the book of Revelation (chapters 21-22).

As you can see, the main essence of the book of Revelation is to show Christians how God will fight the devil for the salvation of mankind. God will punish, admonish, and demonstrate in such a way as to influence sinners and push them to repentance. All this will be done many times. God will even present people with prototypes, portents of the Last Battle, and the Last Judgment, and punishment to the devil and his minions, and the Kingdom of God, all in order to somehow melt the petrified hearts of people. But there is a limit to everything, even to God’s limitless patience and mercy, and someday everything will finally come true.
An important conclusion for us is that we live in a global world where the reign of New Babylon is coming to an end. This means that the events before the chapter 10 of the Apocalypse most likely have already passed. And we are on the verge of the collapse of Babylon and preparation for the accession of the Beast (well, everything that follows it). When the modern global civilization, based on money, finally collapsed, it will be a confirmation that we have already passed what was described before chapter 10, and an amazing and fearful story awaits us.

Chiasm Centers in the Apocalypse

Chapter 11 is the culmination of the narrative of the Apocalypse.

Here events not only reach a global character, but the tension also reaches its limit. The last sermon of the two prophets’ repentance takes place, and they start to confront with a new devilish phenomenon – “the Beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit“. The Beast defeats the faithful and kills them. But God resurrects them, and at this miracle many believed, although the majority, on the contrary, became even more furious.

Considering the history of local apocalyptic events, we see a constant alternation of realities – heavenly with angels with their trumpets, seals, thunders and earthly with various historical cataclysms. Local events end in chapter 10. John hears the sixth trumpet. At the end of which John is warned that he will soon begin a special prophecy. Then in chapter 11 we are talking about a global event – two prophets. He sees the Heaven and hears the seventh trumpet announcing the beginning of the kingdom of Christ (and the wrath of the Gentiles).

Further 12 – 19 chapters are an insert between the story of the prophets and the description of the kingdom of Christ. It is, as it were, a large block, in which the whole religious history of the world is described. The description of events in this block of Revelation begins to follow a different path than before. If until chapter 12 the events developed linearly, towards the culmination, at each stage increasing in scale, then starting with chapter 12, John goes to a different level of description of events.

He begins to describe not specific historical or heavenly events with their vivid symbolism, as it was before, but unfolds a new prophecy, to prepare for which the angel commanded him in chapter 10.

I.

The essence of this prophecy is a revelation about the history of the enmity of the Church and the devil. As you know, people who have remained faithful to God, God Himself gives a certain way and way of life in the world after the Fall of man and expulsion from Paradise. The most important aspect of this Church lifestyle is enmity with the devil (see our work “The Structure of the Biblical History”).

It is important to note that John’s account follows a particular sequence. If until chapter 11 the scale of what was described only increased, now the historical scale is gradually decreasing. That is, it all goes in line with the chiastic structure of Revelation. Unfortunately, many commentators fail to notice the non-linear nature of biblical poetics and make gross mistakes.

This new prophecy begins with the most general historical account of the enmity between the Church and the devil in chapters 12-13. First, a wife with 12 stars is a popular biblical sign of the Church, in particular the people of Israel (12 stars – 12 tribes of Israel). It also describes the falling away of the devil, who is called a “red dragon” with 7 heads and 10 horns. Then this Wife-church gives birth to the Son – Christ. Christ ascends to Heaven, and the devil persecutes the Church (this time in the form of Christianity). But the Church receives the wings of an eagle – special protection from God and the devil cannot defeat the Church. The Church lives like this for 1260 years from the rapture of Christ into Heaven (see our work “The Biblical Apocalyptic Chronology”). But the moment comes when the dragon is especially furious and the most important battle of the faithful Christians and the devil begines.

And then there is a story, again, only in other words, describing what is described in chapter 11 – the culminating sermon of the two prophets and the victory of the Beast over them. If in chapter 11, the preaching of the prophets was described more, and the Beast is mentioned only briefly, now the main attention goes to the description of the Beast and its deeds.

After the murder of the prophets, at least some of the people repented, but the majority became even more furious: “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Rev. 13: 1-8).

The events of chapter 11 are also described here, but this was only the first stage. Further, in chapter 13 we learn that the Beast, which acted for 42 months (the same time as 3.5 years) during the enmity with the two prophets, was not alone. The Second Beast helps its. After these events – the victory over the prophets and the worship the Beast of all who did not repent, a new stage begins.

The second beast is the False Prophet / Antichrist makes the image of the first Beast, gives life unto the image of the beast, and everyone will be marked 666. And everyone who does not bow to the Beast and does not confirm this by receiving this mark, (as they once received the seal of the Cainites) are chased and killed. The world is coming to its most fallen state in its history.

This is where the most general and historically large-scale story ends.

II.

Further, the historical framework begins to narrow, but the story becomes more detailed. If the story of chapters 12-13 begins, from the Fall of man or at least from the time of Moses, and ends with the Last times in the future, then in chapter 14 there is already a story about a shorter period – it begins with the preaching of the gospel around the world closer to the Last times, and ends at times of the Beast. This is the famous Three Angels message.

Here we are on a shorter segment of history, but we see more details.

First, we learn that towards the Last times, the Church will be able to establish the preaching of the Gospel almost everywhere, both geographically and socially, by actually fulfilling the commandment to preach the Gospel. God says that that’s when the End will be near: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matth. 24: 14).

Then comes the second stage – New Babylon.

And already then there is the third stage – the triumph of the Beast in the world, described in chapter 13. Moreover, we have a clarification that those who have accepted the mark will be severely punished by God.

III.

Finally, John goes on to give four historically more detailed stories. It:

story about 7 ulcers;

detailed account of Babylon;

detailed story of 10 kingdoms;

story about the end and destruction of the kingdom of the Beast.

This whole cluster is presented in the form of the chiasm of religious history:

A.  War of heavenly forces, angels with the devil and his henchmen, expulsion from Heaven.

            B.   The hostility of the earthly Church and the devil on earth throughout history

                      C. The beast comes out of the sea into the world.

            B’.  The last battle of the earthly Church and the Beast.

A’. War of Heaven with the Beast – through 7 executions, throwing beasts into fire, and binding the Dragon.

This chiasm is not pure; it has a number of references that are not included in the logical structure of chiasm and play the role of semantic insertions. In general, this is a rather strange structure and in many ways incomprehensible to us. The chronological description begins to break, some events are excluded from it, and then earlier events are described later. But they are described in such a way that their sequence becomes clear. The core is chapter 13, and everything before and after is like building up meanings around the center of the chiasm.

Why does John go this way and not continue the usual chronology along the line? The chiastic structure of the narrative places the most important at the center of the chiasm. And John puts the Beast in the center of this chiasm. The Beast in the general history of the Christian world (the history of the enmity between the Church and the devil), according to John’s narration, is a central and most important event.

Misunderstanding of the complexity and nonlinearity of the narrative after chapter 11 leads interpreters to confusion and elementary chorological errors. But a careful examination allows us to unravel this tangle.

In the next work, we will consider in detail the phenomenon of the Beast.

The chronological structure of biblical history from the beginning of the world to its end is defined in two ways.

The first one is the numerical chronology and dates of the most important events. We have already written a lot about chronological dating (see our works “The Biblical Apocalyptic Chronology”, “An Attempt of Reconstruction of the Chronology of Christian Era” and “The Structure of the Biblical History”). Now we need to analyze in detail the order of the eras in the Bible.

The second one is a certain order and sequence of different eras of the world history.

The loss of man’s freedom

The history of the world begins with the fall of man. The devil entered this world and via the fall of man the world was cursed – the devil took power over its. Concerning people, everything went in a special way. In order to determine a holistic picture and patterns of the biblical world history, we need to trace what goals the devil sets concerning people and how he tries to achieve them.

Isaiah writes that the devil wants to be equal to God and requires himself to be worshiped as God: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High” (Isa. 14: 12-14).

God firstly created the Heaven – the world of angelic personalities headed by Himself («The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens» Psalm 103:19). Then God created the Earth (our world). Man was put as the head of the world.

God, man and angels are persons. Both angels and people are created similar to God, and often both people and angels are called “sons of God”. But there is a difference between them.

The main feature of any personality is freedom. Angels are ministerial spirits called to serve both God and man. And they have the freedom to serve or refuse and even to oppose. Thus, Satan, who refused to serve God, received the name שָׂטָן “adversary”. But the angels did not receive the freedom to create, the freedom that the only God has. The devil opposing God, can not create anything new except to try putting God’s dignity on himself, which in reality looks as perverted inside out.

The devil fell away from God, rebelled against Him and seduced a third of the angels. The next Devil’s target was man.

Man is much higher than angels. Man is actually a «small god» with numerous features inherent in God the Creator. Only for the sake of man and his salvation God incarnated as a Man and endured the Cross. The devil understands that God will not worship him, but since he decided to make himself equal to God, he requires himself to be worshiped as God, and for him it will be a great success to be worshiped of people who were created almost like God and are incomparably higher than the devil himself.

The Qur’an says: “And [mention] when We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam”; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers“. God ordered the angels to serve man endowed with features that are not available even to angels (in particular, the creative freedom). But Satan/Iblis refused, because he himself wanted people served him. When the angel of Light became Satan, an adversary to God, it is clear that he did not want not only to serve man, but also to accept the divine status of man. As the devil seduced a third of the angels, so he set out to seduce man to worship him. The devil did not have the ability directly to seduce people to serve and worship him (as he did it with a third of angels). Man and God were tightly bound by a communion. And no angel could penetrate there.

Therefore, he decided to push the people themselves to damage this communion. He gave them the idea that God was deceiving them, and that communion with God does not improve people, but rather restricts them. Therefore, it is worth breaking this connection through violation of the commandment and people will become “like Elohim”.

God gave people one prohibitive commandment – not to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the form of a material fruit of a material tree.

Here we must pay attention to the most important feature of human nature. At the heart of angelic nature is spirit. Yes, an angel can take on flesh. For example, Satan took the fleshly form of a serpent, and the watchers (Book of Enoch) took on different carnal forms. But the essence of an angel is only spiritual. And when some of the angels rebelled against God in spirit, this process became irreversible.

Man, however, has a double nature. Material corporeal – “the dust of the ground“; and spiritual – God “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life“. We do not know why God created man in this way, but the dual spiritual-bodily character of man did not allow the devil immediately to enslave man and induce to serve him.

As a result of the temptation, Adam and Eve doubted God and ate the fruit. But this doubt led neither to a complete breakdown of the relations with God, nor to the worship the devil. The fall of man led to the fact that man lost his power over the Earth (material world). Matter no longer “automatically” obeys man. Now the devil is the prince of matter.

In order to dominate matter, it become necessary for man to exert effort. Actually, the “damned” damaged Earth can no longer just feed people, and they must work hard on it.

And since man broke his connection with God, and man himself is the pinnacle of creation, then the connections within the creation were also damaged. The whole world has been damaged. Matter, as a result of disruption of communication, acquired a tendency to decay, and since man has a material body, the body began to decay and man became mortal. Moreover, the entire material world, has become subject to decay and will sooner or later perish.

However, due to the dual nature of man, the devil could not immediately get him into his worshipers. In essence, by seducing a person in a spirit, that is, pushing a person to doubt God, the devil achieved only human mortality and damage to matter. And by pushing people to eat a banned material fruit, he achieved only the fact that man received dependence on matter, but not absolute: a person still has the opportunity to fight this dependence.

Having sinned, man was expelled from Paradise, became mortal but received from God certain conditions, rules of life in the cursed world, in order to Salvation would become possible in the future. In fact, this is a kind of first and basic Covenant between people and God. Basic, because its provisions underlie all further covenants: with Noah, with Abraham, with Moses, and the New Testament. Here are the main provisions of this basic covenant:

1. The devil, by his actions in the world, is limited only by the ability to tempt people materially and earthly – “bruise his heel”. People lost a part of their freedom and received dependence on matter (the Earth), and therefore dependence on its prince – the devil.

2. Man got the ability to be at enmity with the devil through bruising his head. That is by mentally recognizing temptations and controlling the mind man got the ability and responsibility to rule over the devil. That is, the devil received power over the material world, but did not receive power over man. Here is an example of such a struggle and the power of man over the devil: “Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him” (Matthew 4: 1-11). Here a Man is Christ, and the devil tempted Him as a man. Jesus rejected the material temptations of the devil relying on the Scriptures, and in the end drove him away, showing his power over him. And the angels began to serve him, as it should have been since the creation.

3. Through labor, suffering and death, people received restrictions in their sins, if man suddenly fails to control his thoughts and mental struggle with the devil.

4. Patriarchy: a woman must obey a man and “in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children”. A woman is not admitted to ritual and religious service and administration.

5. The woman received consolation that someday the Savior of mankind would be born from a woman.

6. A man must, with the help of reason, rule over the devil and over the woman.

7. Man received hope that in the future his Descendant will save the world.

8. In order to people could correctly perceive the future great Sacrifice of the Savior, God gave them new forms of communication with God – a sacrifice of animals and food. This was supposed to prepare a person to accept the Jesus sacrifice. Probably, the first sacrifice was already in Paradise, and then a certain order of sacrifices was established. After the great Sacrifice of Christ, sacrifices are no longer needed.

The double nature of man played the role of a double line of defense. Having broken through the first line, the line of the spirit and putting man the doubt God, the devil “got stuck” in matter. He wanted the worshiping in spirit, but he only got the opportunity to tempt people with material things. And man got the opportunity to resist this. But the most important thing is that in the future, thanks to a matter man’s body, God will incarnate and materialize and in such way He will defeat the devil and save man.

That is, a special protected sphere appeared in a person – the sphere of the spirit or, in other words, the mind, where access was closed for the devil. Once again: the devil first of all attacked the spirit of man, but this way became closed to him, and he was limited by the influence on the flesh, the matter of man. Waging a mental struggle with the devil, man can block him, and also rule over him, which, in fact, was conceived from the very creation of man.

What about the devil? How did he react to this limitation of him by matter and his inability to enter the sphere of the human Spirit? How does he get worship from a person?

Actually, just as he managed to seduce the first people. Fulfillment of the commandments, walking in the ways of God is a voluntary matter and a person is free to refuse to do it. God gave new commandments and new rules of life to fallen people. And there have always been people who also do not want to fulfill the commandments. Moreover, they are ready to go much further than Adam and Eve, who, having sinned, repented. Many people refuse to fulfill the commandments, begin to serve the devil and struggle against God.

Cain and Cain civilization

Let us emphasize once again that Adam and Eve repented of their sin, accepted new conditions of life in the cursed world and communication with Gog, and began to expect the Salvation with hope. Adam confirmed the commandment of childbearing from his wife by giving her the appropriate name Eve, and Eve accepted hope and began to wait for the Savior.

So the first thing Adam and Eve did in the sinned world was to give birth to a son. When Eve gave birth to her first child, she gave him the name Cain: “and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD” (Genesis 4: 1). Name Cain is a from the root קָנָה which means “to acquire”. There are two points. First, Eve gives the name to the firstborn. It is strange, because as a result of the fall of man, God established patriarchy. In theory, the name should have been given by Adam. Secondly, the strange phrase קָנִיתִי אִישׁ אֶת-יְהוָה can be translated in different ways: both as “I got a man from Yahweh”, and as “I got him – a man is with Yahweh”. Based on this, there is a hypothesis that Eve, who was the first to be seduced by Satan, and whom God promised that someday the One who will smite the Serpent would be born, hoped that her firstborn could be that Savior-Christ. But the devil immediately understood this and immediately directed all his efforts to seduce the likely savior. The mystery of the Christ was revealed much later, and neither Eve nor the devil could know it. Eve mistakenly hoped and the devil immediately attacked this hope.

Unfortunately, Christians do not understand well what happened to Cain, but this became the eventful beginning of the world history and launched the explicit laws of history that are still valid in the world and will remain in effect until the end of this world. A correct and deep understanding of the history of Cain and Abel will open to us a vision of the laws of development and periodization of the whole world history.

The story of Cain and Abel is described in the book of Genesis, and some of its fragments are developed in other books of the Bible. Moreover, this story in the Hebrew Masoretic text and the Septuagint is significantly different. Only by following all these testimonies one can understand what happened.

“And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process of time it came to pass / (in the Septuagint “And it was so after some time”), that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.”(Genesis 4: 1-8).

“And it was so after some time”. This indicates to us that the sacrifice had to be made in a certain order (according to a certain calendar and procedure). Sacrifice is a new form of communication between man and God after the fall of man, and its order is determined by God. Different types of sacrifice imply a certain order of division of the sacrifice – what to God and what to man. Some sacrifices are not divided at all, and are offered to God entirely. What kind of sacrifice were the brothers to offer at that time? One can try to find out from the context.

What kind of sacrifice did Abel make? Abel sacrificed cattle. Before the Flood, people did not eat meat, so it can be assumed that Abel left nothing for himself and brought the whole sacrifice not dividing it into a part to God and a part to himself.

The whole sacrifice is primarily a Covenant sacrifice. A whole sacrifice used to make by a person in commemoration of the conclusion of a covenant with God. And Abel, with such a sacrifice to confirm his connection with God.

That is, Abel says with such a sacrifice to God –”my Godeverything is to You, I am completely Yours, and in me there is nothing of my own, autonomous”. And God accepted such a sacrifice, which means that it corresponded to God’s commandments.

But what about Cain and his sacrifice? The modern Jewish Masoretic text does not give us this answer, but the Septuagint comes to our aid: “but Cain and his sacrifices he regarded not, and [someone] sadden Cain (ἐλύπησεν τὸν Καιν) and his countenance fell“. There is a hint of a third person, who pushes Cain to sadness and anger. Who is this?

Then God says to Cain:

“If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him” (Masoretic text).

“If you offer correctly but do not divide correctly, have you not sinned? Be still; his recourse is to you, and you will rule over him” (Septuagint).

Cain prepared the sacrifice correctly, but divided it incorrectly. The fact that Cain divided the sacrifice suggests that he claimed a different place, a different position of man in the universe and in relation with God. Cain did not want to live the way God directed for mankind. Perhaps Cain demanded to change the Covenant, the relationship with God. But God did not agree with Cain’s ambitions. And Cain was sad/angry and turned his face to the ground. In the Biblical semantic language, if a person lifts his eyes to the sky, then he turns to God. To bow your face or eyes to the ground (Satan crawls on the ground, he is tied to the ground and tempts people by the earthly) means turning to Satan. It was Satan, this mysterious the third, who tempted Cain to change the order established by God, and then, when God did not accept the sacrifice, incited Cain to anger and sorrow.

We see that Cain was in trouble. Here God intervenes and speaks to Cain. He explains why He did not accept the sacrifice – because Cain’s ambitions are unacceptable for the path of salvation, and warns that both these ambitions, and the sadness and the turning of the face to the ground are all from the devil and threaten a person with enslavement. But God reminds that a person should not be enslaved by the devil; man can and should rule over the devil and not accept his temptation: “sin lies at the door”, “He [the devil] is recoursing to you, and you rule over him”. In particular, for a start, Cain must at least shut up and do nothing “Be still” – that is, not to communicate with the devil with words and thoughts.

But what is Cain doing? He does not want to obey God, he decides to make a covenant with the devil and kills his brother Abel. Not just kills – but sacrifices Abel to the devil.
The Scripture clearly explains it: “Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew (σφάζω) his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous” (1 John 3:12). The term σφάζω “to slay” in Scripture is used to mean sacrifice. That is – Cain became a follower, the son of the devil and sacrificed Abel to him. In response to the call of God to turn away from the devil and return to God, Cain consciously and finally goes into the service of the devil, and Cain manifests his inner faith, his communion with Satan, making a human sacrifice. That was the Cain’s answer to God.
Abel was better than Cain: “By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts…” (Hebrews 11: 4). The best is always sacrificed. So Cain brought the best – Abel as a sacrifice to Satan.

If Cain shared the sacrifice to God, then the sacrifice to Satan Abel, Cain brought it entirely, trying to conclude a covenant with the devil. But one can’t make a covenant with the devil. If in relation to God Cain wanted to have his own autonomous place, then in the covenant with the devil Cain completely obeys him.
People sinned even before Cain. Adam and Eve sinned against God. However, having sinned, they did not depart from God, but repented. Cain, on the other hand, deliberately departed from God, refused to worship God Yahweh, and instead of Him, made Satan as a god. Cain is the first Satanist, Antichrist in human history.

And what about Yahweh?
“And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand; When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him” (Gen. 4: 9-15).

Cain begins to treat Yahweh as an enemy, an adversary. He had everything turned upside down. Opponent and enemy – Satan became a god, and God and Father Yahweh became an enemy. Cain lies to the face of his “enemy”, he panics before Him. Yahweh replies that although the curse of Cain was aggravated, He gave him protection.
God clearly defines the relationship between the children of God, (the Church) and Cain, the Cainites. Any violence against the Cainites will result in sevenfold harm to the attacker. The Cainites are the spiritual children of the devil. And since people can be at enmity with the devil only by spiritual warfare, then with the Cainites, people faithful to God can be at enmity with the spiritual warfare by means of the word of God. Violence against Cainites is meaningless and harmful; it only strengthens the Cainites and their father, the devil. Cain receives his seal – a special sign so that he and those like him could be recognized.

As a result of the Fall of man, a person begins the process of degradation of thinking. From a personalistic representation of ​​the world, people and God, – the human mind begins to lean towards materialistic abstract-eidetic and at the end, digital thinking, where both the world and persons are presented in the form of dead abstract materialistic models.

Adam and Eve sinned and immediately hid from God in the bushes. As a result of sin, their minds were damaged, became dependent on matter and began to perceive God not as an omnipotent and all-knowing Person, but as material subject from which one can hide in the material bushes. In order to stop the degradation of the people’s mind, God gives people certain religious practices, primarily a sacrifice that God can accept or reject. This should show a person that God is not a mechanism or computer, that he cannot be programmed or conjured. That He should be treated only personally and as a live, free Person. God will protect the mind of his faithful sons from slipping into the mechanical philosophy.

The same thing happens to Cain. He sins by wanting to impose a certain relationship mechanism on the free Personality of Godhead. God doesn’t accept that. Then Cain departs from God, kills Abel and sinks even deeper into sin. His mind loses the adequacy of the perception of reality. Cain is lying to God that he does not know where Abel is. Cain no longer sees in God an omniscient Person and thinks that God can be deceived. Cain begins to see God only in the material plane. Any human community without God leads to a striking degradation of human thinking and a slide towards primitive material thinking. And the longer humanity lives without God, the stronger this degradation of thought is. In Cain and his civilization this process is just beginning, Cain is still a person of personal religion, but then in the future everything gets worse.

Cain is cursed. This is not just some vague curse, but a curse “from the earth”. Man was placed at the head of the earth. But when the fall of Adam and Eve occurred, the earth was damaged – cursed. Now, to feed people, the earth must be worked with hard labor.
However, shedding blood on the ground, Cain became cursed from the already cursed earth. That is, Cain received a “double curse”. Now, even hard work on earth will not give Cain and his followers sufficient food. The only way for the Cainites to survive is to invent new technologies. And the farmer Cain, realizing that the earth could no longer feed him, makes such an invention – this is a city and urban civilization.
“And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch” (Gen. 4:16,17).

However to feed Cainites was not the main aim of Cain’s invention. The key aim was religious – to change man.

Cain goes to the East. In the Bible semantic, the East is God and from the East God will come. To go to the East is to go against God. Cain goes from his family against God and founds his own civilization. Cain is the first devil worshiper, Satanist, God-fighter, founds his God-fighting satanic civilization, and invents the city as a religious center. The change of man, made by Cain is to change the social being of man from the family to the city.

An important point should be noted here. All civilizations opposed to God will not only survive and develop on the cursed earth with the help of technology, but also use technology for religious purposes. Technologies are used both to interact with the earth and to change man, and therefore for religious purposes.

Eve expected Cain to become that promised Christ-Savior, but he became the first antichrist. And he founded his “anti-Christian” satanic civilization. The civilization of Cain-Antichrist is global, because apart from the small family of Adam and the descendants of Seth, the rest of the inhabited space is Cainites. This civilization is governed from one center – from the line of Kanin’s descendants. The center and meaning of its existence is to serve the devil and go against God and His Church. All subsequent godless civilizations will strive to the global power.

Sometime at the end of time, the last Antichrist, “the second Beast”, New Cain will build a similar global satanic religious civilization. Its adherents, like Cain, will receive a special seal – 666. And it will also oppose the faithful people of God – Christians. But that will be much later, at the end of the story. Until that time, both worldly and divine stories will go a long way.

However, let us return to the Cain civilization.

“And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah. And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold” (Gen. 4:18-24).

This finishes the biblical story of the Cain civilization. The last lines of this story are the so-called cry of the descendant of Cain – Lamech. Lamech is desperate and sad. He complains to his wives (which is strange) that for the murder he receives a punishment “I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt”. Lamech killed someone. But for the Cainites, killing is common. Lamech also states “If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold”. It could mean that Lamech understand that the curse of Cain will never be eliminated. Cain, when he killed Abel, did not cry. Why is Lamech crying? Before the weeping, there is a description of the Cainite lineage. But on Lamech it breaks off. Cain’s civilization is coming to an end. After all, it is important for its that the ruler was precisely from the family of Cain, who was cut short on Lamech. But how did it happen when Lamech had two wives (polygamy is an invention of the Cainites) and they gave birth to children. But this is not the strangest thing.
From Eve to Sarah, the Bible does not mention a single female name. God established patriarchy, and a woman must submit to a man – a husband if she is married, an adult son if she is widowed, or a father if she has not yet married. She can even get married only with the permission of her father. Even if a woman gives birth to a child, the Bible usually says that the child was born by a man – a father, not a woman.

And then suddenly three names of women are mentioned. In the biblical semantic language, the mention of a name means something very important and significant. The mention of the names of Cainite women indicates that the role of women in the Cain civilization has grown greatly, and there is no longer a commanded by God patriarchy. Interestingly, Lamech complains to his wives that his civilization is coming to an end. Probably Cainite women have a lot to do with this end.

And most importantly, it is written that it was not Lamech who gave birth to the children of Lamech’s wives, but his wives. In the Biblical genealogies, men give birth. Even if it is said that a woman gave birth, then before that it is usually mentioned that a man “entered” her, “knew” her, “slept”, “lay” with her, etc. But here women give birth without mentioning the participation of a man. This means only one thing – Lamech is not the father! But who are their fathers?

The answer to this question must be sought in the children of Lamech’s wives. “Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah”. There was a revolutional civilizational turn, a technological explosion. Many new, hitherto unknown technologies, from tents to iron processing, appeared. Where did these technologies come from? And the most important point is Naamah. The woman mentioned without mentioning her husband is already an allusion to her unconventional role. There is a hypothesis that this is an allusion to temple prostitution. And her marvelous name (Νοεμα, נעמה ), Naamah – “attractive, very beautiful.”

The emergence of fundamentally new technologies indicates that a new post-Cain civilization has begun, or rather a new form of Cain civilization. And the name of Naamah, without mentioning her husband, leads us to the answer, what kind of a new civilization it was.

You need to ask yourself – what led to such a sharp degradation of the Cain family and its civilization? The answer is obvious: violation of the commandments of God (worship of God, dominion over a woman and Satan, repentance). The damnation is the loss of the life-giving power of the earth, which must be compensated for with more and more new technologies, which still exhaust themselves over time.

During the time of Cain, humanity was divided into people faithful to God (“the children of God”) and into “the children of the devil “; into the Church and into one or another form of a godless civilization. “The children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother” (1 John 3:10).

All who are not from God are Cainites. In the world history, there is immutable law – there are from God, and there are from the devil… There is no third. There are only two forms of people historical existence – the Church and a civilization (which is always of a satanic type: there are no non-Satanic, Christian civilizations). Thus, two directions or two kinds of historical reality were formed – the history of the divine, namely, the history of the relationship between faithful humanity (the Church) and God and the history of the worldly, that is, satanic, that is, the history of civilizations subordinate to the devil.

What is Cain, what is the essence of this phenomenon in the most general sense? After all, Cain is not just a separate person, Cain is a new spirit of people’s life in the world, it is a civilization, it is an alternative to the Church, which is characterized by a number of properties that will be inherent in all forms of non-church, and therefore satanic civilizations:

1. Cain is the first unrepentant sinner. All civilizations consciously do not want to follow the path indicated by God.

2. Cain is the first Satanist. All civilizations are based on some form of service and / or worship of the Devil.

3. Cain is a slave of the devil. All civilizations are essentially a slave service to the devil.

4. Cain is the first murderer. All world civilizations are based on some form of murder of man. The devil was a murderer because he seduced people and they became mortal. Likewise, all Cainite devil worshipers follow the path of the devil actively using murder. The Cainites cannot stop killing, so not only Cain killed, but also the descendant of Cain Lamech.

5. Cain is the first enemy of the Church. Cain killed not just his brother, but killed him precisely because he was pleasing to God. All world civilizations outside of the Church are at enmity against the Church and people faithful to God.

6. Cain is the first fighter against God. All civilizations are not just the worship of the devil, but also the struggle against God in this world.

7. The building of civilizations is an irresistible desire of all sinful people. As soon as people move away from God, they begin to mold a civilization, as if they were a wind-up dolls.

8. Cain is the first “savior” to offer salvation to the world through technology improvement and human change. The goal of civilization is salvation from the curse without the participation of God.

9. Cain is the first depersonalizer. Any civilization without God degrades in its thinking from the personal perception of God and man to the materialistic abstract and even digital.

10. Cain is cursed “from the earth”. Now, even as a result of hard labor on the earth, it can no longer feed the Cainites. Therefore, all Cain civilizations are trying to survive by developing and introducing more and more new technologies.

11. Cain is a city planner. Cain to build his godless civilization invented the first technology – the city. From now on, all godless civilizations will be urban.

12. Every Cain civilization marks a leaving from patriarchal principles and a violation of the order of sex relations established by God. This is the growth of the influence of women both in society and, first of all, in religion, sometimes it can look like “equality” of men and women, and sometimes as an explicit matriarchy. These are various sexual perversions, trans-sexuality.

13. Cain is marked by a seal or sign from God. Therefore, any person who is faithful to God can clearly recognize a Cainite if even he disguises himself as another. Every civilization outside of the Church has clear distinctive features that indicate its Cain origin.

14. Cain – has the protection given by God against violence from members of the Church. Any struggle against the Cainites and the Cainite civilizations can be waged only by word, spirit, but not by force.

15. Cain’s civilizations always strive for world domination, globalism.

Cain’s civilizations always, sooner or later, degrade and perish, because 1) they are deprived of the support of God, they oppose God, but God is always stronger, 2) they are deprived of food from the earth, but  technologies designed to replace this food are constantly becoming obsolete and bring collateral effects that lead to degradation.

The Church lives in a sinful world relying on support from God and on food from the earth. The Church does not need civilizations and technologies. The Church can use civilizations and technologies in its own interests, but does not create its own technologies and civilizations. No Christian civilization is possible. If some civilizations call themselves “Christian”, then this is only a disguise of the Cainites.

The direction of development of all non-church civilizations

The devil got his way by inciting Cain to create a satanic civilization. But problems arose on this way.

Firstly, all the people in the Paradise sinned, but then only Cain sinned. Abel remained faithful and even to death. Over time, other faithful people appeared, and the Church, albeit slowly, grew.

Secondly, Cain was a bad devil worshiper. He was shaking, tormented, crying, etc. Something remained in Cain, which did not allow him to give his person at 100% in devil worship. Even in Cain there was a sphere that the devil had no access to, and although Cain did not use this sphere of the spirit to resist sin, everything immaterial, spiritual, mental that was left from God in him resisted devil worship. Even the Satanic religion of Cain painfully resembled the religion of God, and it looks like Cain was weighed down.

Thirdly, the Cain civilization was rapidly degenerating, maybe even faster than it took time to seduce the remaining faithful people.

And fourthly, the most important thing. Cain’s service to the devil was lean, sour, and perhaps not completely from the heart. Let’s remember Judas – after all, his conscience tortured him. A person is firmly made, so firmly that even with a direct desire to resist God and serve Satan, it does not work outright. It is not such a service the devil wants for himself. One need to serve confidently, without groaning, introspection and throwing. Everything should be joyful, with enthusiasm. In an extreme case, at least, without mental anguish and torment of the mind.

What does the devil do?

The answer is simple – you need to extend matter to the sphere of the spirit, to the sphere where a person is stronger than the devil, where the devil has no power, but only the ability to offer temptations. That is, to push a person to materialize the sphere of spirit, consciousness, thought, to degrade this special sphere of human nature, and then, in a “materialized spirit”, already gain power over a person completely and push him to complete and sincere devil worship without lamenting and crying. It is necessary to modify man, or even to create a new man.

The control system must always be more complex than the control object. And the devil, having a primitive material system that cannot control a person, tries to trivialize and materialize man to make him easier. And since man is “well done”, it takes a lot of work for this purpose. And it is the goal that all civilizations serve.

How to materialize this sphere of spirit and thought inaccessible to the devil? – To give a person a different spirit, “material spirit”, no matter how paradoxical it sounds. It is clear that the spirit itself, the consciousness cannot be material, but it is possible to create an imitation, to replace the true spirit with the material model of the spirit. 

And such a model was created. It exists, dominates and develops among humanity. We would call it a modern term – the Matrix. When man’s spirit from God is replaced by a material Matrix – the devil receives the maximum power of influence on a person and a person serves him as sincerely as possible.

The builders of the Tower of Babel speak directly of their main goal. The city, the tower, and the bricks are all done to “make a name” for themselves, that is, to make a new man.

Thus, a new man and a new humanity are created, which outside the Church always represents a technological civilization. But the formation of a new man and civilization/humanity was not easy and it was in several stages.

A brief sense of the Matrix

In short, the Matrix is ​​a certain way of thinking and understanding about God, man and the world, in which the idea of ​​God and man and their interactions are presented not in the form of free loving creative personalities, but in the form of primitive models, which have materialistic, optical character.

To put it simply, in the human spirit, contact with the Truth about personalities occurs in the form of hearing or reading the recorded something heard.

The true knowledge about God, ourselves and the whole world, we can know via hearing. God spoke, and we heard (or read the recorded heard). God tells us about Himself and the world in the form of Revelation, commandments, etc. And we hear/read it.

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom. 10:17). We listen commandments, hear and listen to them, obey or disobey them. And before the Fall of man, only by hearing the Word of God, man cognized himself and the environment.

When the devil wanted to seduce people, he interrupted hearing the Revelation from God by means of doubt. As soon as the first people stopped hearing the Revelation, they immediately begin to rely in knowledge on the vision of the eyes in light, on the optics. “The woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat” (Gen. 3:6). She looked, saw, thought (made a conclusion) and ate it. The revelation of God said that the fruit is dangerous, because God SAID that the fruit is dangerous, but when she stopped listening to God, Eve immediately began to see the fruit, and she saw the fruit wrongly, erroneously, distorted. She saw the dangerous fruit as good in the reflection of optical light. But light is matter. The optical, materialistic vision is followed by the same materialistic representation in the mind and its comprehension. The mind also begins to become optical and material.

A man who is cut off from the hearing of the Revelation of God will always rely on a material optical representation and understanding of himself, God and the world. The devil, is the prince of the world and matter, and therefore the prince of the optically visible, and can present everything in a distorted light: “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14).

What comes out?

1. A man saw and thought about the fruit in a material-optical way, and in this form, the bad fruit seemed good. It is a misconception about the world.

2. Looking at himself, the man saw that he was naked, and was ashamed. What is ashamed of what God created as good (people are good creatures)? They saw the good as bad, and began to hide behind leaves.

3. When the Lord came out to call them, they did not listen to the voices of His Revelation, they thought only about optical visibility. And they hid. They thought that God is just as material, and as the figs themselves cover them, so they decided that they can hide from God in the bushes. That is, they thought of God as materialistically limited, they thought of Him optically in such a way that God supposedly depends on matter, then one can hide from Him! They mistakenly, simplistically and optically presented God. Although before the fall of man, they heard truth about Him from Him.

Immediately after a sin, people begin to rely on a bad instrument of knowledge. It cannot be said that everything that man sees with his eyes and presents in his mind is a complete lie. But since the eyes are material and see everything in the material light, then one can see material issues quite well. But the more complicated and important the question, the more it concerns the supra-material – God, man, the rules of true life, the worse the material eyes see it and the “material” mind thinks.

And God, as a true healer, determined the cause of the disease and its treatment. The most important God’s rule of knowledge for man, says that if what is seen and represented in the mind contradicts what is heard / read from a Revelation from God, then one must rely not on eyes and mind, but on Revelation: “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed” (Gal 1: 8).

The community of people, representing God according to the heard / read Revelation, forms the Church.

A legitimate question can be posed: why should we believe Revelation, this “book of Middle Eastern myths,” but not believe, for example, science. But look at science. It is constantly changing. What today science proclaims as truth, tomorrow it is considered as delusion; look how the science has discredited itself by wishful thinking.

The Matrix is ​​based on the fact that man renounced Revelation and judged everything from God to the last atom on the basis of his material sensory experience, materialistic representation and understanding in the mind.

The more the Matrix penetrates into the spirit of man, the more it replaces Revelation, the more primitive and perverted models of God, man and the world emerge from people, and the easier it is for man to become a sincere devil worshiper.

There is no need to go far for modern examples. After looking at covid play in the light of Revelation, the whole essence of this event becomes clear.

Matrix development stages

The formation of the Matrix is ​​the meaning of the development of all civilizations.

The development of the Matrix, in which the personality of God and man is represented in the form of material models, occurs in three stages. And this development determines the entire course of the world history.

1. In place of the degenerated Cain civilization comes the era of rational knowledge as well as advanced material technologies. Here, man made himself idols of gods, figures of people from wood and stone. A person bowed to idols, or conjured on figures of people, as their substitutes. Of course, at first, man did not believe that this or that god was wooden, but he perceived the idol as a symbol connecting god and man. During the rituals, the god allegedly get into the idol. There was still a memory that God or man is not just matter.

2. But over time, this memory was forgotten. Then a person replaces the idol, a wooden idol, with eidos – a representation, an image, an ideain his mind. This representation is visual, that is, no less material. The term εἶδος (eidos) means “visible form” deriving from εἴδωλον, idol. Finally, man forgets that the idea/eidos of ​​personality and personality itself are two different things. God the idol is transformed into God the eidos, the idea of ​​God. Now, for a person, reality becomes at least identical to his optical ideas about it. And then the mind’s ideas about reality become even more reliable than reality itself. But all the same, the work of the human materialized mind with endless things, such as a person, constantly confronts the mind with its limitations and weakness. The spirit of man constantly tells people that the Matrix is ​​too weak to adequately reflect reality.

3. Therefore, the third stage of the development of the Matrix becomes. It is an informational stage. In order not to strain the mind with complex questions and dead ends, and therefore not to question the Matrix, the work of the mind is transferred to computers, which, using primitive logical operations, but iterated many times, like from trillions of atoms, from trillions of zeroes and ones, bricks and slims, present a simulated reality to man. The mind no longer needs to work hard and construct countless eidos. If the eidos are already material and make simplified models of Being, then a material machine, in digital form, does it better for a man’s mind. Instead of constant mental work with reality, man receives it already in a form, “digested” by a machine. And although the machine lags far behind the human mind in qualitative terms, – in quantitative terms, that is, in terms of the speed of solving problems, a machine is so superior to a person that, with its primitive solutions, but in huge quantities, it can replace reality with an information simulation.

Man loses the distinction between reality and simulation of reality. Actually, one no longer needs this distinction. To find out what the weather is outside one needs to look out the window. But in digital reality, what one sees outside the window is already less reliably real and useful than what one sees on the weather website. If reality does not coincide with virtual, digital reality, then so much the worse for reality.

The extreme form of the information society is the connection of the human body, brain and machine, and the further connection of all of them into a single information network. Man in this state is ready to accept any religions and bow to anyone, because the Spirit was replaced by a digital material Matrix. That is exactly what the devil needs, because he is the true architect of this Matrix.

How does the understanding of the personality of God and man in Revelation and the various stages of the material Matrix depend? The closer to Revelation and the weaker the Matrix, the more true and deep this understanding. And accordingly, the more difficult it is to bend it. Revelation very clearly and completely shows us both God, man and the devil. The second stage, the stage of eidos, already greatly simplifies everything and allows us to offer various ideas of God in a fairly wide range from deism to pantheism. And the third, digital, informational stage is so shallow and primitive that one can draw any cartoon about God, man, devil or Covid-666 – people will accept everything.

The Bible and the Book of Enoch say that the stage of idols and eidos was adopted by sinful mankind in antediluvian times. A digital Matrix was being prepared to build during the Babylonian pandemonium, but this process was interrupted by God. However, despite the covenants with God and the Sacrifice of Christ, after some time people resumed the Babylonian process, which is now reaching its peak. When the goals of Babylon are achieved, they will begin to build a new attempt at a devil-worshiping civilization (the Beast of Apocalypse), which the first Cain and the Cainites did so badly.

Attention. The essence of the development of devilish civilizations is not to reduce man to his body. These are the ideas of the vulgar materialists. Then it is no longer man, but an animal. The essence of the development of civilizations is to replace the human spirit with a material simulation of the spirit. Outwardly and to man himself, it may seem that his spirit lives, that he is an idealist, etc., but this is only an apparent state. The spirit is replaced by a material digital mechanism, but very sophisticated, which can imitate reality.

Mega-chiasm of biblical history

So, we have presented the common features of all extra-church and therefore satanic civilizations according to the Bible, and have determined the vector of their development. However, each specific civilization has its own distinctive features and its own path of development. The further history of mankind is two parallel lines of development.

Together, these lines form a single historical and chronological picture of the Bible, which is presented in the form of a chiastic structure.

On the one hand, this is the line of development of the Church:

the family of Adam and the descendants of Seth;

Noah, his family and the Ark;

the tribe of Abraham and his descendants (Hebrews);

the people and state of Israel and the law of Moses (Jews);

finally, the universal supranational Church of Christ.

On the other hand, this is a line of development, a series of various forms of satanic civilization in the following order:

the first urban civilization of the Cain family;

the antediluvian civilization of Nephilim;

the Tower of Babel (the development of civilization was suspended by God);

the civilization of the New Babylon – “Babylonian harlot” (he formation of civilization suspended by God is renewed);

the Age of Ten Kingdoms – “Age of Aquarius” (new analog of the civilization of Nephilim);

the Kingdom of the Beast-Antichrist (New Cain).

In general, speaking strictly and concisely, it is better to single out two forms of satanic civilization: Cain and Babylon. The first, Cain, is a religious personalistic civilization, and the second, Babylon, is an atheistic, humanistic, materialistic, impersonal and digital civilization.

The first attempt by Satan to build his kingdom on earth was the civilization of Adam’s son Cain. But man at that time still retained too much from God in himself, and this attempt was unsuccessful: the worship of the devil was not so sincere, and the civilization itself quickly degenerated and degraded.

Therefore, for success, the devil needed to create a new man in whom the divine traits – personality, freedom, creativity, reason, love, craving for God and thirst for Truth – should be maximally dilute and replaced with a digital simulacrum of personality. For this task, the Babylonian civilization was launched.

And only after that, Satan will make a new attempt to create a religious satanocratic civilization, which John calls the Beast, led by the New Cain – the Antichrist.

Let us emphasize again: in this world, the devil and sinful people act along the same path that we have described. This is what God says in the story about Babylon: “And this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do” (Gen. 11: 6).

And here we have a dilemma. On the one hand, God loves the world and people and wants their salvation, on the other hand, people are completely free and may not want this salvation, but build civilizations and eventually perish with this accursed world.

Therefore, God offers people a choice of a way of salvation, other than the devil. God interrupts the construction of Babylon and offers people covenants of salvation, which were accomplished by the Sacrifice of Christ. Some people took this path, and some again took up the devil’s one, continuing the construction of Babylon. People will finish building Babylon, then they will become part of the devilish state and “the church of the Beast”, led by the new Cain – Antichrist.

This periodization is quite enough to understand the general trend in the development of biblical history. However, there are transitional stages between these two variants of civilization.

Between the first Cain and Babylon there is the epoch of Nephilim and between the second Babylon and the second Cain/Antichrist there is a similar epoch of “10 kingdoms”. In principle, these epochs cannot be distinguished as separate, but in view of their brightness and the fact that we live in just at the beginning of the transitional era from the new Babylon to the Antichrist, we decided to single out these eras separately and describe them in more detail.

This means that the model of divine and human history is a mega-chiasm.

A – Creation of heaven and earth

     B – Fall of man and the seizure of the world by Satan.

         
           C – (1) Cain Civilization (First Antichrist)

                D – (2) Nephilim Civilization (Antediluvian)

                     E – (3) Tower of Babel Civilization (the First Babylon)

                          F – (4) Era of Covenants (construction of the Tower of Babel is interrupted)

                     E’ – (5) Civilization of New Babylon (construction of the Tower of Babel resumes)

                D’ – (6) Age of 10 Kingdoms / Age of Aquarius (analogue of the antediluvian age)

           C’ – (7) Beast / Antichrist / New Cain Civilization

     B’ – Binding of Satan, Millennium Kingdom, Last Judgment, destruction of Satan, evil and sin

A’ – New creation of new heaven and earth

This macro-chiastic model clearly presents the entire scheme of the biblical history and shows its boundaries, basic meaning and laws of development. Chiasm is a parallel description. The Biblical mega-chiasm of the world history shows that the Biblical story is like a scroll, at first it unfolds in stages, reaching the central Era of the Covenants, and then gradually folds.

A – the God’s Creation of heaven and earth, the first macro-event of the biblical history. The last macro event of the biblical history – A’ is also a Creation, but a New Creation of the new heaven and earth. It will be when, according to the Apocalypse, the world history will end.

C – the second macro-event of the history – the fall of man, as a result of which Satan seizes power over the world and gets the opportunity to strongly influence people. B’ is the penultimate macro-event of the history, during which Satan is expelled and captured. That is, in fact, these are similar events, but with different signs: B is the defeat and seizure of the world by the devil, B’ is the victory and liberation of the world from the devil.

Before the Era of the Covenants, three global diabolical civilizations were unfolding in the world: C – the first Cain civilization, D – the Nephilim era, E – the Babylonian pandemonium. This process was temporarily interrupted by God by offering people salvation by the Covenants and Christ. Some accepted His plan of salvation, while others rejected these covenants and rushed to help the devil to resume the construction of global satanic civilizations. This happens in the mirror order: they start with E’ – the resumption of the construction of Babylon (the era of New Babylon or the Babylonian Harlot), then D’ – the Ten Kingdoms era (the new era of Nephilim or the Age of Aquarius), and then C’ – the civilization of New Cain – the Antichrist and the Beast of the Apocalypse.

Let’s consider each of these civilizations in detail.


C – The First Cain

What are the specific features of the civilization of the First Cain (the civilization, headed by the Cain family), in contrast to others?

General characteristics. Cain is the first conscious Antichrist. He deliberately rejects God’s way of salvation, which leads to Christ and builds the first satanic civilization.
Relation to religion. The first Cain civilization is a strictly religious civilization. Everything in it is subject to religion.
Kind of religion, what is God? It is a pure monotheistic religion, but perverted, in relation to the religion of the true God. Cainites imitate the true religion; instead of God they have Satan, instead of good – evil.
Attitude towards alternatives to its religion. No religious tolerance, no polytheism, no deviation from a single canon. It is enmity with alternative religions and views.
Soteriology. The Cainites feel uncomfortable in their own devilish civilization. They tremble, moan, and cry, they have an increased sense of danger. But they do not find salvation from this.
Personality state. Despite the beginning of the degradation of the consciousness of the Cainites, the high significance of the personality is still preserved – the personality of God, man, ruler. The First Cain’s civilization is based on personal relationships.
Sex and its meaning. Until its last period, the Cain civilization was patriarchal.
Blood and its meaning. The importance of the meaning of blood and lineage of the ruler. For the civilization of the First Cain, the key was that it was ruled by the direct descendants of Cain, and when the family of Cain was cut short, the civilization ended.
The nature of technology is socio-religious technology designed to maximize religion.
A distinctive sign of civilization. The Cain’s mark.

D – Nephilim Civilization

So, the civilization of the First Cain ended with the interruption of his bloodline, and the new civilization began with a technological revolution and, most importantly, with the new role of women. Let’s consider this in detail.

Tubalcain’s sister Naamah was “attractive, very beautiful”. Here is what the Bible describes further: “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose” (Gen. 6:1,2).

There are two opinions about who “the sons of God” are. One is that the sons of God are angels, and the second is that “the sons of God” are the sons of Seth.

We mean that “the sons of God” are angels. The idea that these were the sons of Seth arose in the Jewish environment and then some Christians adopted it. We believe that the spread of this theory is the machination of the devil to distort the true meaning of Scripture and biblical history.

Let us briefly list the arguments confirming that we are talking about angels.

1. The Septuagint unambiguously translates this as angels.

2. In the book of Job, “the sons of God” are angels.

3. There is an apocryphal book of Enoch, where “the sons of God” are angels and the apostles refer to this book: the Apostle Jude quotes a fragment from there and calls it a prophecy.

4. Almost all Christian authors of the first two centuries were of the opinion that “the sons of God” are angels.

Let’s continue: “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown” (Genesis 6: 4).

So, the matriarchy that arose in the civilization of the First Cain led to its decline and transformation into a new one. Now we know who could be the father of the children of Lamech’s wives, and for whom was the beauty of Tubalcain’s sister Naamah. It is important to note that the angels did not just mate with the earthly Cainite beauties, but took them as wives.

According to the patriarchal order, a woman of her own free will could not get married without the permission of her father or guardian. But the matriarchy of the Cainite women lifted these restrictions, and women could marry at will. The fact that women came into contact and relationships with angels suggests that women also adopted religious functions previously available only to men.

The violation of the divine order led to the fact that as a result of such unnatural marriages, unnatural offspring were born. All cultures of the world preserved the memory of these events in the form of myths about heroes and giants, people of very tall stature and great strength – the children of “gods” and people.
The Nephilim נְפִילִים (plural) is the product of a mixture of humans and angels. In the Greek Septuagint, נְפִילִים is translated as Γίγαντες or the singular Γίγας.
Giants in Greek mythology are very large, strong, wild, unbridled creatures. Let’s just say that giants are not a translation of “Nephilim”. The use of the term “giants” by the Hebrew translators into Greek can only be explained by the influence of the Book of Enoch, in which the Nephilim are presented as very tall and fierce beings. Obviously, they chose the most capacious term for understanding by the Greek reader, but did not set out to make a literal translation.
Following the Septuagint, in many languages ​​(starting with the Latin Vulgate, and translated from Hebrew), when translating the Bible, terms such as “giants” were used. Even in the Russian Synodal Bible, translated from Hebrew, the word “giants” is also used.
However, what does the Hebrew word Nephilim נְפִילִים mean? It comes from the root נָפַל nafal, which means to fall or toss. Hence there is a popular translation of the Nephilim as “fallen” in recent years. However, although the literal translation may be correct, in the sense of the Nephilim they cannot be “fallen”. After all, an angel or a person can be fallen – initially both angels and people were pure, holy, but then they fell and became fallen. But the Nephilim could not fall, for from their conception they were already wicked and corrupted. The Nephilim did not have initial holiness, and therefore could not fall.
The Bible itself provides the key to the problem. There is sometimes a single root word for נְפִילִים – נָ֫פֶל nephel, which means miscarriage. What does modern science tell us about miscarriages? – This is a spontaneous pathological termination of pregnancy due to pathological genetic changes in the fetus. A mutation occurs in the fetus; the woman’s body recognizes this and throws out the mutating fetus. Therefore, since a term close in meaning to a miscarriage was applied to these creatures in the Bible, the Nephilim will most accurately be translated into modern language as mutants.
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them” (Gen. 6: 5-7).

God evaluated this situation extremely negatively, and so much, so that He decided to destroy all earth creatures. As a result of the actions of angels and Cainites, human nature was damaged both genetically and spiritually. The apocryphal “Book of the Jasher” claims that animals have also undergone genetic change. The Torah does not give details of those events. But these details are given by the book of Enoch.

Two hundred angels were seduced by the beauty of earthly women and wanted children from them. They deliberately committed this sin and Enoch gives the names of their 17 leaders.

“And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves” (Enoch CHAPTER IX:8). Enoch clarifies that the angels not only got married to earthly women into marriage, but also simply slept with them. Here is the answer who was the father of the children of Lamech’s wives.

“And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another’s flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones” (Enoch CHAPTER VII: 2-5). Before the Flood, the first people were forbidden to eat meat, but then corruption reached the point that Nephilim mutants killed and devoured people and even their own kind. Murder has become commonplace. Human genetic modification and hybridization has led the earth to complete disaster.

There were only a few faithful people left in the world. Among them was Enoch, who was forced to hide.

However, the genetic corruption of humanity was only the first step. Humanity was corrupted spiritually as well: “the angels who have connected themselves with women, and their spirits assuming many different forms are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray into sacrificing to demons ­­as gods­­” (Enoch CHAPTER XIX: 1). Angels took on different forms and thus seduced people to polytheism, that is, paganism. Paganism, polytheism is an invention of the Nephilim era. Degradation of Cain’s Satanism to primitive paganism takes place.

Angels taught people “charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants” (Enoch CHAPTER VII: 1). “Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armârôs the resolving of enchantments, Barâqîjâl, [paragraph continues] (taught) astrology, Kôkabêl the constellations, Ezêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds, ­Araqiêl the signs of the earth, Shamsiêl the signs of the sun­, and Sariêl the course of the moon” (Enoch CHAPTER VIII: 2). In the same era, mankind learns witchcraft, occultism, astrology and esotericism.

The fact of humanity’s perception of natural magic, spells, fortune-telling tells us about the progressive degradation of human thought. The idea of conjuring a Deity or man is that the idea that for an infinite personality it is possible to find some kind of control buttons. It means of a complete loss of an adequate meaning of ​​personality. Personalities are still present in thinking, but they are already greatly simplified and materialized. For the same reason, humanity easily perceives polytheism, paganism – after all, the primitive personalities of the gods are easy to “clone”.

“And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals ­of the earth­ and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures.2. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways” (Enoch CHAPTER VIII: 1-2). And in the same era, a real technological revolution is taking place, people get access to a whole array of technologies.

As in the case of the First Cain civilization, the earth cries out to God that it can no longer bear such wickedness and blood. And if in the case of Cain, Cain remains alive, but becomes cursed from the earth, then in the case of the Nephilim civilization, there is already nothing to curse from, everything has long been cursed. All civilization and its entire world will be destroyed by the Flood.

Summary. The civilization of the Nephilim (as well as its future counterpart – the Age the Ten Kingdoms), like any devilish civilization, having a general satanic and godless character, has the following features in comparison with the civilizations of the First Cain:

General characteristics. The Nephilim civilization was the first civilization to encroach on the remaking of man and God from the inside, from their nature. (Cain was remaking man only from the outside, changing social reality). The Nephilim civilization was the first civilization to encroach on the remaking of the basis of religiosity.
Relation to religion. The strict religious-centered nature of the civilization of the First Cain changes to a mixed type, where in the center, next to religion, there are already people and serving their desires.
Kind of religion, what is God? Paganism, polytheism, religious diversity, esotericism, occultism, philosophy, technology.
Attitude towards alternatives to religion. Religious tolerance, sometimes turning into enmity.
Soteriology. The fruitless search for salvation, begun by the Cainites, continues. But physical fear is added to psychological despair and fear – the Nephilim begin to devour people and each other.
Personality state. Degradation of personality in the minds of people, the process of depersonalization of God and man begins. The place of personalities is gradually being taken by impersonal and materialistic ideas.
Sex and its meaning. Matriarchy. Instead of the degrading Cain patriarchy, women are taking over religious power.
Blood and its meaning. Man is being changed biologically (through mixing with angels).

The nature of technology – very highly developed and extensive occult and material technologies.
A distinctive sign of civilization. Matriarchy, simplification of personality and human genetic modifications.

God destroys the Nephilim civilization in the Flood. But its satanic spirit did not disappear.

E – The First Babylon

Noah’s descendants resettled and multiplied throughout the earth. However, the spirit of Cain is obstinate. A new form of civilization begins, which is presented in the Bible as the construction of the Tower of Babel. We note that this project was not fully implemented, but even its initial stage looks impressive.

“And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth” (Gen. 11: 1-9).

“the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech”, literally from Hebrew – “one lip and one words” (word – davar דָּבַר ).

A feature of Hebrew is that the basis of word formation is verbs and verbal roots. For example, “speak in words” is דָּבַר , and the “word”, respectivelyדָּבָר .

In the book Genesis for the meaning “pronounce, say” up to the Flood always, and after the Flood in most cases the word amar אָמַר is used. There is also a derivative noun “speech, word, appeal” emer אֵ֫מֶר.

Davar is used much less frequently. What is the difference between amar and davar?

The etymology of amar אָמַר comes from the meaning of “declare”, “show”, “make prominent, forward”. That is, it is not just to make a sound – here we are dealing with a change in the status of being (transferring from non-being into being). That is why in phrases like “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light” (Gen. 1: 3) אָמַר  amar is used. This is tremendous power. Something was undeclared, non-existent, but became declared, shown, acting, existing.

Concerning “to speak in words” דָּבַר davar and, accordingly, “word” דָּבָר , the meanings of this root are chase, drive out, fly out one by one, bee (דְּבוֺרָה ). Unlike the abstract and non-material amar אָמַר , davar is something concrete, material, something that can, for example, fly out of the mouth. To speak in words is to throw something (sounds) out. It is interesting that the Greek λέγω (to speak) has a similar etymology, and λόγος (word) derived from it, that is, to collect, recruit, place and also has a material connotation. Moreover, the word אָמַר  davar is sometimes used in the Bible to denote a deed.

In the Torah, before the story of the Flood, we do not see a usage of דָּבָר  davar. Why? Perhaps in the beginning, people still had some kind of special communication between themselves and with God, without the use of conceptual thinking and words. However, with the development of sin, a person began to rely more and more on his mind damaged by matter and to form a specific vocabulary of words and concepts for cognition and communication; that is, a person began to form an intellectual verbal model of things. Words have become only dead semantic forms, in which nothing is left of the personal. It is precisely such a dead, narrow instrument that could no longer serve either pure communion with God or true knowledge of being. It could only serve to simplify, to play down, and to belittle.

After the Flood, God himself for the first time addresses Noah precisely in words, דָּבָר davar: “And God spake דָּבַר  unto Noah, saying אָמַר: Go forth of the ark” (Genesis 8:15). Something has changed. Man needs words דָּבַר  in order to understand utterance אָמַר.

It gives us an important sign of the changing the mindset. It was the formation of a conceptual verbal thinking. It made possible for events to develop further.

We have already mentioned that in the era of Nephilim there was a shift from a concrete-personal understanding of people and God to an abstract-conceptual one. And in the era of the First Babylon, this transition is finally carried out. It was the presence of such a language and way of thinking that allowed them to launch their project.

“Journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there“. The East in the sacred geography of the Bible is where Christ-God will come from. East is one of the names of God. Therefore, when Cain sinned, he did not want to repent and began to run away, he ran to the East – against the direction of the coming of God, against God he went. The Babylonian builders came from the East. They consciously or not imitate God, bringing people something divine. What do they bring to people, commensurate in meaning with the divine? – They bring to humanity a new technological invention – a digital Matrix.

But who are “they”?

“And they said one to another… And they said…“. The story of the tower builders begins rather strangely. Naming people in the Bible is the most important thing. Man is usually called – “man”, “woman”, his own “first” name, “son”, “daughter”, “father”, “mother”, sometimes by office (“priest”, “king”), etc. Moreover, depending on the naming of people, it is possible to derive whole interpretations about the meaning of this or that event. And here, they are called only “they“, and they call themselves “we“. This is nonsense for the Bible. The naming of a person, especially his own name, is the most important attribute of a personality, which tells us of its entire completeness. The name is not just a label to distinguish one from the other; the name in the Bible is the essence of the person.

And here it is said as unnamed as possible. This says only one thing – we are dealing with the most degraded personalities. God is a Person and man, is a person. But with sin, with the deepening of the abyss between man and God, the divine in man – personality, is diminished. With the death of the personality, a person turns into a zombie or a robot. We are dealing here with extremely degraded people, thinking in narrow concepts and communicating in a primitive conceptual materialistic language, who, however, coming from the East, bring the world some kind of imitation of salvation.

In the story about the builders of the Tower there are no personalities, neither human, nor God, nor angels, nor the devil. Adam, Noah were serving a personal God. Cain-personality began to serve the devil-personality and resist God-personality and thus laid the foundation of religious Satanism. During the Nephilim era, both personality and religion were greatly degraded, but they still existed. At the builders of Babylon, we do not even hear the word “man” or something connected with a man (son, father, brother, king, leader, etc.) and do not hear the word God or the devil. There are no men, women, patriarchy, matriarchy. The builders of Babylon do not even have a hint of personality or religion.

The descendants of Noah became spiritually ill, lost contact with God, almost lost themselves as persons, but feeling that something was wrong, they decided to replace all this (God, personality, salvation) with something else, but with what?

 “And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth”.As we have already learned, any civilization is necessarily urban. And the builders of Babylon are also trying to build a city for themselves, but not just a city, but a world civilization. They offer their project to the whole world. Moreover, the city of Cain and Babylon are very different.

Most of the interpretations of the biblical text about the Babylonian pandemonium are a description of the construction of a specific architectural structure – a tower. However, everything is much more complicated. Nobody built any tower. Everything was much bigger, more radical and more terrible.

Let’s read the Hebrew text literally וּמִגְדָּל֙ וְרֹאשׁ֣וֹ בַשָּׁמַ֔יִם – The first word is מִגְדָּל . The traditional understanding means “tower”. However, let’s pay attention to the literal meaning of the word. It comes from the root גָּדַל  “becoming big”. That is, literally it is probably not a tower, but something big: ” the tremendous”, “grandeur”. Probably the meaning of this word “tower” was given later and is secondary. The next word וְרֹאשׁ֣וֹ  (רֹאשׁ ) rosh is head (human, animal) or the beginning. The first word of the Bible “Bereshit” is “in the beginning”, from the root רֹאשׁ rosh. And the third word is בַשָּׁמַ֔יִם “in Heaven”, in the angelic world and in the place where God is. That is, the literal translation is: “something grandiose with a beginning in the Divine Heaven”. They build their “tower” not from earth to heaven, but on the contrary – from the divine Heaven to the earth. That is they wanted to build the “New Earth” (Rev. 21:1) promised by God to people after the end of this world in the distant future, but to build here and now, on this earth by their own forces, without God. The Babylonians wanted to build a world civilization in the form of an imitation of the Kingdom of God on earth. Of course, there is no talk of any tower made of ordinary building materials.

“Let us make us a name”. And now attention, this phrase is the most important moment that reveals the meaning of the history of the development of all civilizations. So people have become much degraded as individuals. They have no names, no God, no devil. They are insignificant, they are simply “they“. But these are still people, and something gnaws at them inside, does not give them rest. They yearn for salvation. Therefore, they go from the East, carrying a divine mission for themselves and the world. The essence of this mission is to make a name for themselves. The Unnamed wanted a Name for themselves. Once upon a time God gave man a name, and God and only God as Creator could give man a name. But people, through falling away from God, almost lost this name, and so they decided to find a new name for themselves, to make it for themselves, without God.

The name is a very important and meaningfully deep phenomenon in the Bible and is actually the essence, the nature of what is named. Already in the antediluvian era, people were trying to change their nature. They agree to hybridization with angels, receive a new religion and new knowledge. But these are half measures. Not everyone went for the hybridization of the body, not everyone accepted the change in worldview, consciousness and ways of thinking. And then it was about the modification of man already created by God, his body and spirit.

In the era of the First Babylonian civilization, people want not only to change or improve, but to do it anew. Moreover, the Babylonians want to make a new man, but there is no talk of a new God, a new religion. They don’t need it. Man has replaced both God and religion.

Not being able to create from nothing בָּרָא or even to call קָרָא  – they makeעָשָׂה a name for themselves, which means that there is something from which they want to make themselves. How, from what were the Babylonians going to make a new man?

“And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter“. The builders of Babylon run the risk of building a new world and a new man from primitive binary material elements. It is difficult to think of something simpler and more primitive than brick and slime. What is brick as opposed to stone? – it is completely handmade, made by man, and it has the same standardized form. The builders of Babylon are inventing a hitherto unseen technology – to “make” reality with the help of atomized primary elements: bricks and slime, “0” and “1”. The builders of Babylon decided to build for themselves a man and a world as a digital system.

But we understand that from such a primitive neither a body, nor a spirit for a man can be made. Nothing like God’s creation in real life with the help of the binary material code brick-slime, “1” – “0” could be “done”. We have not in vain put the word “do” in quotes. They cannot make a new man.

But they are doing something. What do they do then? We have already called the goal of any diabolical civilization project – “material Matrix”. Why is that? The Matrix is ​​a model. A model is a system, a holistic mechanism that serves to represent, imitate some reality. That is, the Matrix is a virtual reality, or in other words, a simulation of reality. The Babylonians, in principle, can neither make nor renew the world and man (only God can do this), and instead they can only offer a trick, a model, an imitation, a simulation of renewal, that is, something like the Matrix. So they finally decided this Matrix, which began under Cain, and developed under the Nephilim, to bring it to the limit and perfection.

Who is the unsub of the construction of Babylon, the Matrix, who controls all of this? After all, the Bible emphasizes to us all the impersonality and vagueness of the unsub of construction. After all, people have become so degraded that they have turned into a swarm of bees. The swarm is controlled by a queen bee, which is far from easy to see behind all that buzzing swarm.

But we are already a little experienced beekeepers. Since the Matrix is ​​based on matter, it is ruled by the Prince of matter, the devil. The civilizations of sinful people are forced to use technology, first for physical life, and then for mental life. But technologists are always material and hence the replacement of mental activity is also material.

But for the time being, no one will say this true essence of the Matrix. Everybody talk about “collective intelligence” or “artificial intelligence”. But this is all crap – it was not the collective intelligence that introduced the insane quarantine. The Matrix (“artificial intelligence”) is the devil as a system, as a manifestation of the devil’s maximum power over matter. The devil cannot create a new world, he can only offer an imitation of it. And the people of Babylon adopt it.

So, the main distinguishing features of the Babylonian form of devilish civilization:

General characteristics. The global civilization is built from primitive material elements according to the principle of simulation (and by no means creation) of reality in the form of a digital Matrix.
Relation to religion. Lack of religion.
Kind of religion, what is God? Atheism. Instead of God – man, instead of religion – the ideology of humanism.
Attitude towards alternatives to religion. Contempt, secularization.
Soteriology. Since salvation is impossible without God, a virtual simulation of salvation is proposed instead of salvation.
Personality state. The Personality of Godhead and man disappear and are replaced by abstract materialistic digital models.
Sex and its meaning. Absence of mentions of genders and sexual relations: sex does not matter, equality.
Blood and its meaning. Irrelevant.
The nature of technology. System. Information technology, IT.
A distinctive sign of civilization. Digit, mechanism, virtual reality.

It is important to note here that the First Babylon was never fully completed; God intervened in the construction process. The same cannot be said about the second Babylon that will be built.

F – Age of Covenants

 
“And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound…“

God speaks the most important thought. Building a global Babylon cannot be avoided. As long as people, are sick with sin, they will not give up and will endlessly continue trying to build Babylon.

The Second thought – God determines the most important factor contributing to the construction of Babylon: this is communication between people. As soon as people establish communication with each other, the Babylonian construction begins. As you can see, language is the most important tool that determines the existence of this world, and globalization is one of the most important vectors of development. It is impossible to escape the first Babylon. But what to do? How to save humanity without destroying it?

“let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city”

The only way out is to slow down the inevitable. To do this, God takes four steps:

I.

God mixes peoples by giving them different languages and thereby disrupting their communication. But we know – if people live side by side, or together, even having different languages, they will quickly make contact, create dictionaries, learn to speak each other’s languages ​​and start building again, so the next step;

II.

Scattering of people over the earth. People need to be geographically separated from each other. This will make it difficult for them to communicate. However, people will want to trade, communicate.  Travelers, traders will appear, conquests will begin, and globalization will grow again. Therefore, God takes one more step;

III.

Division of the earth. Once a single continent of Pangea, was separated by seas, oceans, straits, mountains and deserts. God changes the geography of the earth, making the connection between nations very difficult. The name in the genealogy Peleg tells us about this: “And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg פָּ֫לֶג; for in his days was the earth divided פָּלַג (palag)” (Gen. 10:25). The words describing the division of the earth in the Bible are mentioned quite often. Most often חָלַק  khalak: “Notwithstanding the land shall be divided חָלַק by lot” (Num. 26: 55). But in Babylonian history, a fundamentally different word is used – פָּלַג palag. This very rare word is mentioned four times in the Bible. Twice when describing the genealogy of Peleg (Gen. 10:25 and 1 Chronicles 1:19), once in Psalm 54. These mentions in context all relate to Babylonian history and give us little in understanding its meaning. But one more time it is mentioned in the book of Job: “Whoפָּלַג hath divided (or, better to say, cuts) a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder…” (Job 38:25). That is, this word means to cut with something, precisely with waters. For example, the word “divide” the water so that it parted (as it was during the exodus of the Jews from Egypt) is used in the Bible specifically for another בָּקַע  baka. That is, to divide the water is בָּקַע  baka, and to divide by means of the water is פָּלַג  palag. That is, the name Peleg tells us that the earth was not just divided between peoples for habitation, but the earth itself, was geographically divided by water barriers – seas, oceans, straits, rivers.

However, we know that a sinful man will eventually overcome all these obstacles and Babylon will begin again.

IV.

Therefore, the Lord goes to the fourth, most important step – the creation of the Church as a special people of God and a number of covenants with this people. Between the first and the second Babylon there were about three thousand years of time, which God used to prepare the coming of the Savior and the creation of a Christian church, which is not afraid of Babylon.

 And the era of covenants is coming to the world. God makes a covenant with Abraham, then with Moses, then with Christians. At this time, there are no global Satan projects, but there are many local ones. In our further article about the Beast of Apocalypse, we wrote about six heads of the beast – as six local, but very large-scale civilizational projects of the devil on the earth, the last of which was the Roman Empire.

Christ with his Death and Resurrection inflicted a mortal wound on the Beast. Some accepted the sacrifice of Christ, while others, on the contrary, rushed to heal the wound to the Beast. And after a certain time, world history returns to the Cain’s path.

E’ – New Babylon

After that, as the first Babylon was destroyed and the era of the covenants ended, the second stage of the apocalyptic history become. It starts from the point at which the first stage ended and then unfolds in a mirror image. The sons of the devil begin to collect the scattered Babylon around the world and across cultures in the global New Babylon – the Babylonian harlot. Now we are at the final stage of the construction of Babylon.
In the époque of the Renaissance, the idea arises to revive global Babylon. This Babylon was based on the Jewish interpretation of the “wisdom” of ancient Babylon – Kabbalah. Kabbalah proposed to change priorities from God, from the Heaven to this earthly world, and here in this world to build their own paradise based on numerical matrix modeling, as the builders of the first Tower of Babel have already tried to do. God and religion began to fade, and in their place comes the ideology of earthly man (humanism, atheism, rationalism, materialism).

 It was then that geographical discoveries and the creation of world empires began;

then a unified communication system, financial system, and the Internet were created;

world languages ​​appear, which almost everyone knows and finally computer translation.

We have been living in the second Babylon for a long time, rather at its very end.

 As in the time of the first Babylon, when people who refused to listen to the Revelation from God, lost their personality: their own and God’s, and then instead of their personality they decided to build a global digital system, so during the Second Babylon, people again abandoned the religion of Revelation, replacing it with digital constructions, in which the personality is blurred, and man, God and the world are presented in the form of mechanisms.

Just as once the builders of the first Babylon wanted to make a new man, relying on a digital model of being, so the builders of New Babylon, relying on a digital Kabbalistic matrix, erect a mechanistic person into the world as the center of being.

So, after several centuries of development, by the end of the twentieth century, a global secular, materialistic and consumer civilization, led by the United States, emerges in the world. This is the first global project since the Babylonian Pandemonium. Its global, atheistic and materialistic character makes it possible to unite each person into a single economic, political, infrastructural, information system. In the Revelation of John, this project is called Babylon the Great or the Babylonian harlot.
In more detail about New Babylon, John writes in the Apocalypse:

“And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration” (Rev.17: 1-18).
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies… And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.. … Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!” (Rev.18: 1-19).

 The second Babylon is a Whore Woman sitting on the devil. With her shame and consumerism, she covers, disguises the devil. The Babylonian Whore is certainly a devilish civilization, but the religious aspect is hidden by her material consumerism. The Harlot is dressed in purple (a symbol of political power) and fine linen (a symbol of religion) – and politics and religion in New Babylon are all subject only to money. 

So we mean that the modern world system, led by the United States, is the New Babylon. Why? 

1. Because the modern world civilization is global for the first time since the Tower of Babel
2. Because the modern civilization is non-religious and based on materialism, digital technology, depersonalization, money and consumption.
3. Because its heart is the USA, it is the first country in the world in which ideology is based not on religion, but on money and consumption.
The features of New Babylon are similar to those of the Babylonian pandemonium. However, Babylon already has an alternative – the Church.
Humanity after the new Babylon is in a miserable spiritual state. Even among Christians, adequate ideas about their own religion have been lost. The language of the Bible is forgotten. Christianity as a religion has become a mixture of superstition, charity, and a center for moralizing.

What can we say about non-Christians, whose spiritual, rational search for truth has atrophied, and the truth has been abolished, replacing all this with clip thinking and emotions. No purpose other than consumption. The meaning disappeared, complete disorientation.
Replacing spiritual foundations with simulation of man’s spirit led to the fact that people can be easily deceived and convinced of anything. The clearest example illustrating the results of the work of Babylon (playing on emotions – and pushing for absurd actions) is coronavirus Fakedemia. The whole world, armed with advanced science, global communications and technologies, was easily and primitively deceived and brought into a state of submission. Here are the fruits of Babylon. It is a “new man” with a Matrix spirit.
Even Christians not only do not perform commandment to leave Babylon Whore: “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” (Rev. 18:4), but they take an active part in her affairs.


D’ – New Era of Nephilim, Age of Ten Kingdoms or Age of Aquarius

The next stage is the Ten Kingdoms, an analogue of the Nephilim civilization – which is most often now called the Age of Aquarius.
Babylon by the will of God will be destroyed by ten kingdoms that previously sat under this Babylon and enjoyed it, but then hated it. But soon they will give their power to another world global kingdom – the kingdom of Satan/Beast/Antichrist (see chapter 13 of the Apocalypse). This kingdom, unlike New Babylon, will be extremely religious.
John in the Apocalypse writes about these events: “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled” (Rev.17: 16,17).

 Let’s analyze this: “And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast” (Rev.17: 12). That is, ten kingdoms will destroy Babylon the Great, but they will not use their power for a long time “one hour” and then they will transfer this power to the Beast.
Ten kingdoms will destroy Babylon for a reason, but because God is so decided. That is, the collapse of the modern global consumer civilization was conceived by God. Ten kingdoms will spend a short era of religious revival – the Age of Aquarius, and then transfer power to the Beast.

 It is written that the ten kingdoms will not just destroy the Babylonian civilization.
1) They make her desolate – which is actually happening at the moment. The ten kingdoms are ruining Babylon.
2) They make her naked – that is, they will reveal all her shame, all her deception – they will disgrace her to the whole world.
3) They eat her flesh – what remains of her ruin will be taken away by these ten kingdoms.
4) They burn her with fire – there will not be limited to ruin, shame and robbery, but there will be total destruction by fire (big war).

In addition, there is another quote: “And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all” (Rev.18: 21). That is, Babylon will be destroyed very quickly, swiftly and even unexpectedly.
Preparations for the dismantling of New Babylon began in the 60s of the XX century in the form of three civilizational breakdowns:
I. Proclamation of the Postmodern era. At the philosophical level the emasculation and dismantling of rationality, a holistic picture of the world, the meaning of life, good and evil, progress is made. Postmodern proclaims the absence of rational meaning and purpose as such. With such a breakdown, the usual attributes of modernity such as art, education, science are discredited and enter a period of decline.
II. In place of destroyed rationalism, a mythological, occult, pseudo-pagan worldview is implanted. Gary Potter comes instead of Solaris. Religious fundamentalism, ecumenism, superstition, neo-Marxism, traditionalism, etc. are actively reviving.
III. And finally, the actual dismantling of the New Babylon in technical and economic terms occurs through the stop of the old technological progress and the launch of a new one. 

The political process of dismantling Babylon began with a solemn ritual on September 11, 2001, and is still going on in various forms and will continue. After all, the economic crisis will be accompanied by wars and other cataclysms for a long time.

Babylon acted in two stages: the first is oblivion, “killing God”, and the second is the replacement of Him with a material godless Matrix. The Age of Aquarius only changes the ideology of this Matrix from atheistic and materialistic to a pseudo-religious one.
The goal of the new Era of Aquarius is to prepare a new humanity with a spirit simulated by the Matrix to meet the Antichrist and accept the Beast. Materialized, digitalized, and secularized by the new Babylon, humanity now needs to be channeled into a religious track. Such a modified humanity, in contrast to the times of Cain, will already be able to selflessly and confidently serve the devil, and indeed accept any cartoon as a religious worship.

The main difference between the Age of Aquarius and New Babylon is the direction to change a person. Babylon also wanted to modify man, but through changing the world, building a “tower”. Babylon made a new man by means of benefits and pleasures. Babylon changed the consciousness of a person by external being.

The Age of Aquarius is exclusively interested in direct change, human modification. It changes man immediately, from inside, from the nature, it does not build a tower, it is not particularly interested in the outside world at all.

For example, Babylon offered sexual perversion to man as a means of obtaining pleasure. Babylon said: try homosexuality and get new impressions. The Age of Aquarius says: become a homosexual (feminist, transsexual, progressive, transpersonalist) because this is the norm or even a better human condition than a natural one. Change yourself and your nature.

According to the Bible, a person should rule over his nature and even change it. Babylon said that you should not go against nature and you need to indulge your damaged nature. The Age of Aquarius says the same thing as Christianity: rule your nature, only in the opposite direction than Christianity. This is the beginning of the perverted religion of the next era. If homosexuals in Babylon are perverts, then in the Age of Aquarius they are mutants, “neo-nephilim”.

What are the main features of the antediluvian Nephilim era? – matriarchy and human genetic modifications, multi-religious and technomagic.
Matriarchy. We are now witnessing a real psychosis and a powerful campaign to impose matriarchy in the world. Feminism has become one of the most influential movements. Also in the world there is a real boom in the propaganda of various sexual perversions and attempts at genetic modification of a person.
Multi-religiousness. Collapsing consumer society under the guise of fighting for the environment, social justice, COVID etc. Impoverishment of the population. Propagation of esotericism, mythology, fantasy, religion. Provocations of the global crisis, the thrust of humanity into an atmosphere of fear and helplessness and thus push towards religion. New “Middle Ages”.
Technomagic. Genetic and electronic transformations of man, designed to contribute to the development of a religious society. Just as Cain invented a religious city and civilization, so in the era of Aquarius they come up with a global religious transpersonal humanity.

What is the essence of the old, modern technological paradigm? Technologies are developed and implemented as quickly as possible to ensure maximum real matter consumption of goods and services by people. More and better food, clothing, shelter, transportation, etc.
However, from the beginning of the 60s of the twentieth century, this technical progress was artificially stopped. Over the past 60 years, not a single innovation has appeared that radically changes the consumer life of a person. In reality, only two technological areas have emerged – genetic engineering and information technology. However, both in their philosophical paradigm and in the peculiarities of development, these technologies are already strikingly different.

The influence of IT is radically different from the influence of all other discoveries of the last 600 years. All discoveries earlier contributed to greater and better consumption of real, mostly material goods by people. IT provides little real benefits. This technology gives people an imitation of the consumption of goods instead of the goods themselves. This technology simulates the reality of goods. Why should we travel if you can see everything on the internet and read from bloggers. Why a living woman when you can buy a rubber doll. Why reality, if it can be replaced by simulation.
Genetic engineering has a similar purpose. Not to improve and increase consumption, but fundamentally change the “consumer” himself through human genetic changes.
That is, we have two technomagic technologies that can be compared with the era of the Nephilim and which change creation at a deep, ontological level: people and other living organisms change radically at the biological level, and on the other hand, the nature of reality as such changes, the Matrix reaches its peak. These technologies are eventually combined into a single technomagic conglomerate, which today is commonly called transpersonalism, and closer to the last times will be called “the Beast”.

Why did we use the term “technomagic”? Because the modern, “enlightened” science and technology that we studied at school is long gone. Everything stopped and died 50 years ago.
All modern “scientific and technical” novelties such as a hadron collider, a quantum computer, artificial intelligence, a chip in the brain are technomagical artifacts such as a magic retort, or a black mirror, or a Golem, which act not according to the principle of Newton’s laws, but through the demons that have taken over them: “And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads…” (Revelation 13: 14-16).

Features of the Age of Aquarius – Ten Kingdoms:

General characteristics. The transition from an atheistic New Babylon to a new religious civilization.
Relation to religion. The role of religions is increasing, the values ​​of Babylon are gradually losing influence.
Kind of religion, what is God? There is a great variety of them, but the process of their unification begins. Ecumenism.
Attitude towards alternatives to religion. More often tolerant, although hostility is not uncommon.
Soteriology. Through artificial crises in the world, the thirst for salvation is fueled.
Personality state. An attempt to revive the personality in an ersatz form based on the digital matrix. A kind of digital personality simulation. Transpersonalism.
Sex and its meaning. The growing importance of sex issues and matriarchy. Sex is becoming one of the most important tools for changing human nature: sexual perversion, transsexuality.
Blood and its meaning. The dramatic rise in the value of blood and body is an attempt to create a new body using genetic engineering. Attempts to connect the computer and the brain.
The nature of technology is information and biotechnology, the revival of technomagic.
A distinctive sign of civilization. Emphasis on spirituality and traditionalism.


C’ – New Cain

The time will come when the Age of Aquarius will fall to a crisis – and in order to overcome fear, despair and receive “salvation”, it will be proclaimed the “return” to a single ecumenical religion, to foundations, patriarchy, traditions, the authority, finally to the personality, only in its specific form. And at the head of all this will be the new Cain – Antichrist (as an analogue of the New Adam – Christ).

After the New Babylon replaces the human spirit with a digital material Matrix, and during the Age of Aquarius this Matrix will be ​​reprogrammed from atheism, materialism and consumerism to religious consciousness, two Beasts will come into the world.

The First Beast is a global totalitarian network system (the state and the religion). The second beast is a man, the Antichrist, the new Cain. We have already written about the phenomenon of Cain as a Satanist, about the first person who, instead of God, consciously adopted the devil. In the context of the above, Cain can be called not just the first devil worshiper, but also the first, “pre-Christian” antichrist.

This understanding of the Cain phenomenon gives us a lot of knowledge about the apocalyptic events of the Last Times. Sons of the devil, “antichrists” have been and will be. But according to the prophecies, in the Last times a special Antichrist will come, a human incarnation, the ideal adoption of the devil. But the first Antichrist, Cain, was also a special person. Humanity – the family of Adam and Eve – begot Cain with great hopes for the salvation. Likewise, the last Antichrist will also be the result of sinful people’s hopes for the salvation.

Cain became the ancestor of a civilization opposed to God. The last Antichrist will become the crown, the highest development of the civilization founded by Cain, opposing God – the Beast.

We just write out the main features of this last non-church era:

General characteristics. The last global totalitarian civilization combining both the state and the “church”.
Relation to religion. Hyper-religious civilization. One religion is obligatory for all.
Kind of religion, what is God? Satan takes the place of God.
Attitude towards alternatives to religion. Extremely hostile.
Soteriology. The Beast must save humanity from the crisis.
Personality state. A new person, a new “personality” must become the cell of this civilization. The essence of this “personality” is the substitution of spirit, mind for information digital simulation.
Gender and its meaning. Patriarchy. The Antichrist is “the son of perdition” (2Thes. 2:3), the son, not the daughter.
Blood and its meaning. The great importance of blood and body, the Antichrist must be of a certain nation and bloodline, and the bodies of all people are actively involved in religious worship.
The nature of technology is religious technology, that is, those technologies that serve religion.
A distinctive sign of civilization. The stigma 666 on everyone who enters this religious civilization (as the Cainites once had their own mark).

We will concern the problem of the Last times and the Beasts of Apocalypse in detail in the further article.
