Prophetic Pulpit: Language Of the Beast

                                Language Of the Beast 

Revelation 13: 4, 5 People worshipped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshipped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?" The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blasphemy God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 

The bible tells us that very soon one man will rule over the entire world. He will quickly rise to power by astounding the world with his wisdom. He will have the answers to the earth's most dire problems and humanity will hail him as the world's savior. It is then he will unveil what is truly in his heart, his utter hatred for God. And the reason is obvious, he will be a man infused by Satan himself. He will accept Satan's offer: "Bow and worship me and I will give you the kingdoms of the earth."

Though this global leader has not taken the world stage, we should not be surprised when cerebral voices begin to rise up and lead multitudes of people in blasphemy toward God and His Word, all under the guise of making the world better and safer. These voices are helping to prepare the way for the Antichrist. Just the fact that millions of people are buying their books and attending their conferences should tell us how close we are to his coming.

One of these shrewd and scholarly voices is Yuval Noah Harari. Among many of his prominent roles, he is chief advisor to Klaus Schwab, founder and President of the World Economic Forum. The WEF consists of world leaders, business leaders, and economists who have come together to solve the world's most menacing crisis. Yuval is considered to be the brainchild behind the World Economic Forum. 

Yuval Harari has sold over 40 million books which have been New York Times Best Sellers. His devout supporters range from Barak Obama to Mark Zuckerberg to Bill Gates. 

Though considered to be one of the most brilliant minds of our times, his hatred for God and the Word of God is obvious. He plainly speaks the language of the Antichrist. 

The headline on his website once stated, "History began when humans invented gods, and will end when humans become gods." 

In an interview on channel 4 news, Yuval stated, "Humans are developing bigger powers than ever before. We are really acquiring divine powers of creation and destruction. We are really upgrading humans into gods." 

Isn't it astounding that if he would have said such things 30 years ago, he would have been dismissed as a lunatic. Now he has the ears of world leaders and has sold over 40 million books. This should plainly tell us about the times we are living in. 

Harari also stated, "I think fake news has been with us thousands of years. Just think of the bible...When a thousand people believe some made up story for a month, that's fake news. When a billion people believe it for a thousand years, that's a religion, and we are admonished not to call it 'fake news' in order not to hurt the feelings of the faithful."

When asked about religions role in society, he said, "So far in history, in order to organize humans on a large scale, you always have to have some story, some fiction which humans invented, but which enough humans believed in order to agree on how to behave." Think about what he just said. Harari believes the bible and the gospel are just a shared fiction used to help us behave better.

In his book 21 lessons from the 21 Century (A New York Times Best Seller by the way) he writes,

"And if you take two of the most powerful institutions of humankind, let's think about science and scientific community and let's think about religion and churches and so forth. I think that none of them have truth as their chief values."

"We have zero scientific evidence that Eve was tempted by the serpent, that the souls of all infidels burn in hell after they die, or that the creator of the universe doesn't like it when Brahmin marries Dalit-yet billions of people have believed in these stories for thousands of years."

"Much of the bible may be fictional, but it can still bring joy to billions and can still encourage humans to be compassionate, courageous, and creative-just like other great works of fiction, such as Don Quixote, War and Peace, and the Harry Potter books." 

"I understand man's search for meaning and why interest in the afterlife gives comfort. Out of fear, people accept all sorts of superstitious beliefs. Birth, life, death are endlessly fascinating but our mortality terrifies us." 

Brothers and sisters, this is clearly the language of the Antichrist. Yuval is not a leader of some small cult group hiding in the woods somewhere. He is not considered to be a religious lunatic like Jim Jones and David Koresh. He is considered to be one of the greatest minds in all history and everyone from United States Presidents to business billionaires follow him. 

May I say again, though this global leader has not taken the world stage, we should not be surprised when cerebral voices begin to rise up and lead multitudes of people in blasphemy toward God and His Word, all under the guise of making the world better and safer. These voices are helping to prepare the way for the Antichrist.
