Because, the truth is stranger than fiction.

"The Truth is stranger than fiction." Prophecy is the forthtelling of God's Word. Whether it’s the prevalence of Israel, Babylon, the non-mention of the United States in the End of the Age Days, ‘wars and rumors of wars’, exploitation of pharmaceuticals by mega-corp’s [globalists], human-trafficking, beheadings, the tracking of everyone and everything that “no one might buy or sell unless they have the mark”, the Last Days read like the news and geopolitical strategy of every State, as if lifted from the pages of Scripture. “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done,” (Isa 46:10). What characterizes the Last Days, End Times? Deception. "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come...", "Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” “For thy merchants [corporations] were the great men of the earth [globalists]; for by thy sorceries [pharmakeia = drug use] were all nations deceived. (2Ti 3:1-13; Rev 18:23) Knowing the End from the Beginning makes me an Optimist. Daily life makes me a Realist. Question Everything. Read voraciously. “The past is prologue.” And, since history repeats, apply practical principles to prepare for what lies ahead. Thomas Jefferson warned of the disastrous policy of centralized private banking (Federal Reserve), Eisenhower warned us of the subsequent “military-industrial complex”, JFK exposed their "sphere of influence", and men like Dietrich Bonheoffer (Op. Valkyrie) laid down their lives, “that others might live”. To avoid the impending Econopocalypse, we must realize “the answer to 1984 is 1776.” “Without a revolution, Americans are history.” Without Revelation there will be no Revolution.


"If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" (Jhn 3:12)

"The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spirtually discerned." "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." (1Cr 2:14) (Jhn 3:6-7)

What characterizes the Last Days (End Times)?

Deception. Look at the first passage below and you will see the character description of the average individual of the Last Days. Does the description of the individual strike you as someone who values truth? This passage culminates with the observation that, "evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." Furthermore, the second passage exhorts the believer to, "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 [Antichrist, Lucifer, the Dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan];". "And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him [Antichrist], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." Therefore it logically follows, as deception increases, conspiracy (the act of conspiring to deceive) increases. I suggest that, just as information exponentially increases in lock-step with Moore's law, so too, lies and deceit increase exponentially. (Take note, Lucifer is called the 'Father of Lies' (John 8:44), and each passage describing the Last Days (End Times) characterizes that time (the time in which we now live) as The Age of Deceit.)

2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2Ti 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
2Ti 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all [men], as theirs also was.
2Ti 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
2Ti 3:11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of [them] all the Lord delivered me.
2Ti 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him,
2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3 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;
2Th 2:4 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.
2Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
2Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way.
2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2Th 2:9 [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
2Th 2:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Th 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
2Th 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given [us] everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
2Th 2:17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
