The Face of True Evil/Prepare Yourself


















For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.   Matthew 24:24
Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.   Revelation 13:11-18
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 then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.   Matthew 24:9-13
I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”   Luke 18:8
true evil has no face, it shifts, it moves,
swaying back and forth, like grains of desert sand,
in a gently blowing wind, quietly infiltrating its way
into minds and souls in high and mighty places,
enticing and alluring;
irresistible;
the ultimate chameleon, changes so subtle
they are barely perceptible;
deception in the name of innocence;
taking shape without worry or care,
then disappearing like magic,
into the thin night air;
yes, true evil has no face,
it goes by many names;
eminent domain,
manifest destiny,
for god and country,
true religion,
the chosen race,
national pride,
the final solution,
Altamont,
genocide;
to name a few;
and when it has come and gone,
none but a few even realize
it has passed their way
at all;
the time is coming, when everything you know,
everything you believe, will be
challenged, turned upside down;
the world,
technology,
science,
reality,
your eyes,
your ears,
your very mind,
will tell you that what you believe cannot
possibly be true,
deceiving even the elect,
(if that were possible);
who will have faith then?
what is right will be wrong,
what is up will be down,
what is holy will be evil;
when they torture and kill,
they will do so in the name of righteousness;
who will have faith then?
“prepare yourself” sayeth the Lord.
