This document provides an overview of false prophets and the biblical antichrist known as the beast. It discusses how various historical figures and religions have prepared the way for the eventual rise of the antichrist by promoting the deification or divinity of mankind. The antichrist is traced through several Old Testament prophecies in Daniel and Revelation and is described as opposing God, demanding worldwide worship, and persecuting believers before being defeated by Christ at His return.
The document discusses various false representations of Jesus Christ found in occult practices such as spiritism, theosophy, and satanism. It outlines how these counterfeit Christs portray Jesus as not divine, just a human who attained enlightenment and became one of many ascended masters, denying his unique role as God incarnate and savior. The biblical response is that only God truly knows the future and stands above human wisdom. Jesus is unique from other religious figures as the one through whom God formed the world and redeems mankind.
The document discusses why Christians should study end times prophecy and outlines important end times events according to the Bible. It argues that studying end times prophecy helps obey God's word, teach disciples, and secure salvation. It then summarizes key end times events like the tribulation, rapture, second coming, and judgments. It relates these to current world developments like digital currency and vaccine technology that could enable the mark of the beast. It encourages Christians to share the gospel urgently and remain spiritually watchful as the end times unfold.
The document discusses biblical prophecies about the end times from books such as Daniel and Revelation. It analyzes prophecies about four kingdoms that would rule Israel and the world, culminating in a final world kingdom. It asserts that current global events like wars and rumors of wars match Jesus' description of signs that precede his second coming. The document aims to show that biblical prophecy provides confidence about what will happen in the end times.
The Holy Spirit- A Power, A Force or A Divine Person ?Antonio Bernard
The document discusses several Bible passages from Ezekiel that describe Ezekiel's vision of God's likeness appearing as fire from the waist down and brightness from the waist up. It provides the text of these passages from several Bible translations. It also includes commentary distinguishing between the literal translation and other translations that use terms like "figure" or "form" instead of "likeness".
The document provides an overview of Lesson 11 which discusses the prophetic message and raison d'être of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It covers:
1. The prophetic resurgence of the Church as foretold in Revelation 10.
2. The prophetic message of the three angels in Revelation 14:6-12 containing themes of creation, judgment, and the gospel.
3. How this final message calls God's followers to come out of Babylon and join the faithful end-time remnant by keeping God's commandments and having faith in Jesus.
The document defines and briefly describes seven key terms related to soteriology, or the study of salvation: conviction, repentance, regeneration, redemption, reconciliation, justification, and sanctification. Conviction involves the Holy Spirit proving the truth of Christianity. Regeneration gives new life to believers. Redemption and reconciliation involve being set free from sin and alienation from God through Christ's death. Justification legally declares believers righteous through Christ's virtues. Sanctification positions believers as holy before God and involves growing in holiness over time.
The document provides an overview of three key events related to the second coming of Christ: 1) Christ's ministry in the heavenly sanctuary, 2) the second coming itself, and 3) the resurrection of the righteous. It discusses what the Bible teaches about each topic, including Christ's role as high priest interceding for humanity in heaven, the signs that will precede His return to earth, and how His resurrection guarantees believers will likewise be resurrected to eternal life. The overall message is one of hope for those awaiting Christ's return and the restoration of all things.

This document discusses biblical prophecies about the sanctuary in heaven and the antichrist power that opposes God. It describes how the antichrist power thinks to change God's law and times, and commits spiritual fornication by leading people away from God's truth. It warns that this power will try to enforce false worship and a mark of authority against God's law, but calls God's people to remain faithful to his commandments.
This document introduces a seminar on the book of Revelation. It makes several key points:
1) Studying Revelation will be exciting and rewarding as it reveals future events and God's plan.
2) A blessing is promised to those who read, hear, and follow the teachings of Revelation.
3) Understanding Revelation requires spiritual discernment, studying scripture, and being willing to obey God's commands.

All about the bible, how it was put together, why certain books were left out, how do we know that it\'s divine, what about the Da Vinci Code, dealing with "contradictions", etc.
The document examines evidence for who Jesus Christ claimed to be based on testimony from various sources. It discusses what people in Jesus' time said about him, including that he taught with authority and some believed him to be the Messiah. It also examines what Jesus himself claimed, including that he could forgive sins, was the Son of God and eternal. The document argues that either Jesus' claims were true, making him the Son of God, or he was a liar based on the eyewitness testimony and fulfilled prophecies about the Messiah.
The document outlines God's plan of salvation according to scripture as involving five steps: 1) Hearing the word of God, 2) Believing in Jesus, 3) Repenting of sins, 4) Confessing faith in Jesus, and 5) Being baptized for the remission of sins. It emphasizes that while people have come up with many plans of salvation, there is only one plan given by God in the Bible. It encourages examining whether one has truly obeyed God's biblical plan of salvation or been deceived by human-made plans.
The document discusses the Watchtower doctrine regarding the 144,000. It states that the Watchtower teaches that only 144,000 humans will go to heaven to rule as kings, based on a misunderstanding of Revelation chapters 7 and 14. Most Jehovah's Witnesses believe they will live forever on earth rather than go to heaven. It also explains differences between the lists of the 12 tribes of Israel mentioned in the Bible and those mentioned as being sealed in Revelation 7.
The document discusses the doctrine of salvation, including what salvation is and is not. It states that salvation is solely found in Jesus Christ and his work, not any human actions. It then outlines the process of salvation, including election by God, effectual calling, regeneration, conversion through repentance and faith, justification, and eventual glorification. It addresses common objections to the doctrines of election and reprobation. The key aspects of regeneration, conversion, and justification are also explained in detail.
The document discusses the biblical concept of the "abomination of desolation" mentioned in the books of Daniel and Matthew. It provides definitions of "abomination" and "desolation" and examines the four mentions of the phrase in the book of Daniel. The document suggests that the abomination of desolation referred to in Daniel was fulfilled by the Roman armies destroying Jerusalem in 70 AD. It argues that both pagan Rome and papal Rome acted as the abomination that desolated God's sanctuary through their idolatrous practices and persecution of Christians.
Many of us have an endless list of questions when it comes to Bible prophecy. It is quite possible that the more we study, the more confusing it all becomes. Taken from Dr. Jeremiah's "Answers to the Unsolved Mysteries of Prophecy" booklet, these charts will help you navigate through end-times prophecy and will answer your questions about the final days of this world.
End Time Church Deception Powerpoint Presentationmail2jimmy123
The document discusses end times theology and debates around the timing of the rapture. It argues that the common belief in a pre-tribulation rapture is a relatively new doctrine, and cites several biblical passages that suggest Christians will experience the tribulation period and the second coming of Christ will occur at the end of the tribulation. The document aims to dispel popular rapture theories and outline what it sees as the true biblical timeline of end times events based on scripture.
The church in Pergamum was commended for holding fast to Christ's name even when one of their members, Antipas, was martyred for his faith. However, some in the church had embraced the teachings of Balaam, who led Israel into idolatry and sexual immorality, and the teachings of the Nicolaitans, who encouraged the same. The church was warned to repent or face judgment from Christ with his sharp, two-edged sword.
This document provides an introduction to basic eschatology or the study of last things. It outlines three major views of the millennium - premillennialism, postmillennialism, and amillennialism. It also discusses two key interpretation rules regarding how literally to interpret prophecy and whether the church replaces Israel. The document then gives more details on three key eschatological events - the millennium, the great tribulation, and the rapture. It provides the outlines of the premillennial and amillennial views before concluding that the premillennial pre-tribulation view follows the principles of literal interpretation and distinction between Israel and the church.
The document provides a detailed summary of Acts 2 from the Bible. It discusses key events from the chapter, including the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, Peter's sermon where he quotes the prophet Joel, and around 3,000 people converting to Christianity and being baptized in response to Peter's message. The summary analyzes several Greek words and provides historical context for the Jewish feasts mentioned in the chapter.
The document provides an overview of the Book of Revelation, including:
1. The book is presented as the last book of the Bible and deals with events that will shortly come to pass in a fully eschatological manner.
2. The author is identified as the Apostle John, who received the revelation from God and an angel while exiled on the Isle of Patmos around AD 96.
3. Key aspects of the revelation include Jesus Christ being revealed as the faithful witness, the ruler of kings on Earth, and the one who will come again.
4. The book is divided based on John being instructed to write the things he has seen, the things that are, and the things that will
Bible Truths - Prophecy of Daniel and Revelation - Bowing to the Beast #13 - What is the first beast of Revelation 13? This presentation covers Babylon and what it represents in the Scripture. The basis of this presentation comes from Daniel 3 and the golden image of Nebuchadnezzar. There are two beasts spoken of that are world powers that combine government and religion.

The document summarizes the message to the church in Laodicea from Revelation 3. It describes the church as lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, and facing condemnation from Christ for their apathy. Christ calls them to repent by opening their hearts to him. If they do so, he promises to fellowship with them and allow them to share his throne. The document encourages readers to heed Christ's message to the churches and not grow complacent in their faith.
A lecture on the style and message of the Gospel of John. In this lecture we compare John's style to those of the synoptic to get an Eagle's eye portrayal of Jesus life and message.
The document provides an in-depth study of the biblical prophecies regarding the Second Coming of Christ and the Antichrist. It examines passages from the books of Daniel, John, Thessalonians and others to trace the origins and profile of the Antichrist. Key points include that the Antichrist will come before Christ's return, deceive many, and oppose God. He will exalt himself and demand to be worshipped before being defeated by Christ at His coming.
This document provides an overview of end times events according to biblical prophecy, including the rise of the Antichrist and characteristics of his global government. It discusses technological advances that may enable implementation of the "mark of the beast" and worldwide surveillance. The document suggests current trends towards globalization as preliminary steps towards a one world government that will be led by the Antichrist during the tribulation period.

The Antichrist And His Kingdom
Daniel 7: 7 And behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words. 23 The fourth beast shall be: a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces. Daniel 8: 23 ...When the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. Rev. 13: 4 And they worshipped the beast (Antichrist), saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 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. 7 ... And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him.

And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him.
Bible prophecy tells us that the time is coming when the world will be united under an incredibly intelligent, charismatic, powerful, evil man. And it states that the Antichrist’s coming will be according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders. The antichrist will exalt himself above all that is worshiped or called God and he will force everyone to take a mark (called the mark of the beast) or they will be killed. The bible gives a stern warning and demands that no one is to take this mark.
1) The document describes the visions from Daniel chapter 2 of different metals representing successive kingdoms that would rule the earth: Babylon represented by a head of gold, Medo-Persia represented by the breast and arms of silver, Greco-Roman represented by the waist and thighs of bronze, Islam represented by legs of iron, and ten Islamic kingdoms represented by feet of iron mixed with clay.
2) It discusses how Jesus' prophecies in the New Testament and other passages describe conditions and events that will occur during the last days, such as increased lawlessness, false prophets leading many astray, and difficult times.
3) It warns that scoffers will deny the promises of Jesus' return
The Parousia - God's sovereign prophetic plan for the nations Part 1Robin Schumacher
This document provides an in-depth study of the second coming of Christ and God's prophetic plan for the nations as revealed in Scripture. It examines biblical prophecies in books like Daniel that foretell the rise and fall of world empires such as Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome. These prophecies depicted by symbols like metals in Nebuchadnezzar's dream have proven accurate as the empires came to be. The document discusses how prophecies indicate a future one-world government and false peace before the second coming of Jesus Christ to establish his kingdom over the nations.
The document provides an overview of key aspects of the Tribulation according to Christian eschatology. It discusses that the Tribulation will be a future seven-year period of severe distress involving war, persecution, and divine judgment. It examines debates around the Olivet Discourse addressing both its fulfillment in AD 70 and future prophetic significance. Signs of the Tribulation mentioned include war, violence, persecution, martyrdom, and supernatural events described in Revelation.
12 Foundation Stones 7 - Bible Prophecy: The Future Foretold.pdfFreekidstories
This document provides a summary of key passages from the Bible about end times events as described in Daniel chapter 2 and Matthew chapter 24. The summary is as follows:
1) Daniel 2 describes a prophetic dream of King Nebuchadnezzar that Daniel interprets, depicting four successive world empires followed by God's eternal kingdom.
2) Matthew 24 contains Jesus' description of signs that will precede his return, including wars, famines, earthquakes, persecution of Christians, and the gospel being preached worldwide.
3) The document outlines additional end times events described in the Bible, including the Antichrist's rise to power, the Great Tribulation, Jesus' second coming, the
There is a battle raging between Christ and Satan over humanity. We must choose to follow either Christ, our creator, or Satan, the deceiver. Satan tries to deceive people in many ways, especially by promoting independence from God, obedience to demons, and worship of the "man of sin" and his "image." All who receive the mark of the beast on their hand or forehead in order to buy or sell will be doomed forever.
The document summarizes Daniel's vision in chapter 7 of the Bible. It describes four beasts representing kingdoms, with the fourth beast being Rome that later splits into the Roman Empire and Papacy. Daniel is shown a judgment scene where God sits on His throne and judges the beasts. The document then analyzes how aspects of the previous kingdoms like Babylon's mystery religion influenced the Papacy. It notes the Papacy's 1260 year rule from 538 to 1798 AD as foretold in Daniel's prophecy of a "time, times and half a time."
1) The document discusses biblical prophecies about a one world government, religion, and economic system that will persecute Christians.
2) It describes historical figures like Nebuchadnezzar, Caesar Nero, and Muhammad who tried to impose singular rule and how Christians resisted them.
3) The key is for Christians to have their thinking and actions governed by God's word alone, rather than conforming to the world or devilish systems. Resisting the beast requires fearing God and obeying him over all.
The document provides an in-depth overview of eschatological topics related to the second coming of Christ and eternity based on scripture passages. It discusses that after Christ returns, Satan will be bound for 1000 years as Christ rules on earth. There will be a first and second resurrection, with the righteous reigning with Christ for 1000 years before facing a final revolt by Satan. After the revolt is defeated, all the unrighteous will be resurrected and judged before the creation of the new heavens and earth where God dwells eternally with the redeemed.
The document discusses the biblical prophecies about the Antichrist based on passages from books such as Daniel, Revelation, and Habakkuk. It describes the Antichrist as Satan's instrument who will blaspheme God and exalt himself above all gods. He will control a revived Roman Empire and world religion based in Rome. The Antichrist will mimic Christ's ministry in some ways but will ultimately be defeated by Christ at His second coming.
The document discusses end times prophecies from the books of Daniel and Revelation and their fulfillment. It summarizes that Daniel chapter 2 outlines successive world powers from Babylon to the eternal kingdom of God. It warns that the papacy will try to enforce Sunday observance in the last days by allying with world powers, going against religious freedom.
The Great Harlot represents Jerusalem and Israel who committed spiritual adultery and prostitution through idolatry. The document examines scriptural references where Israel is referred to as a harlot due to her unfaithfulness to God. It identifies Jerusalem as the Great City that reigns over the earth and is contrasted with the holy New Jerusalem. Jerusalem shed the blood of believers through persecuting and killing prophets and followers of Christ. Symbols of the Harlot represent Israel appropriating symbols of God's priesthood while practicing pagan rituals. Israel took on identities of Egypt and Babylon due to adopting their occult beliefs, seen also in the anti-Christian Talmud and Kabbalah.
Daniel has a vision of four great beasts representing four kingdoms that will rise and fall. The fourth beast is especially terrifying and will wage war against God's people. However, God will judge in favor of his saints and they will receive the eternal kingdom. The passage connects this vision with the man of lawlessness described in 2 Thessalonians and Revelation who will blaspheme God and persecute believers for 3.5 years, until Christ returns to defeat him and establish his everlasting kingdom. Enduring persecution is key to inheriting this kingdom.
This document discusses biblical passages about the Millennium period mentioned in Revelation 20. It describes a time where Satan will be bound for 1000 years, during which Christ will reign on earth. There will be peace and prosperity, as the nature of animals and humans is changed. After 1000 years, Satan will be released briefly to gather forces against God but will be defeated, and there will be a first and second resurrection of the dead as well as final judgment.
The document discusses biblical references related to the Antichrist, including prophecies from books such as Daniel and Revelation. It describes the Antichrist as a king who will blaspheme God, speak great things, wage war against believers, and demand worldwide worship through force. The document warns against taking the mark of the Antichrist or worshiping any idol or image. It emphasizes having wisdom to understand the prophecies about the Antichrist and the beast from the sea.
This document outlines the common pattern found in false religions: (1) a false prophet who writes a false authority, (2) the false authority is used to proclaim a false god, (3) the religion puts forward a false savior, and (4) it preaches a false salvation through works. Christianity appears to follow a similar pattern but can be shown to be true through fulfilled prophecies, miracles like Jesus' resurrection, and its foundation being the historical person of Jesus Christ rather than an idea. The document warns that false religions can imitate truth and it is important to carefully examine the evidence for Christianity's truth.
The Essentials of Apologetics - Why Christianity (Part 3)?Robin Schumacher
This document is a presentation on why Christianity provides compelling answers to life's key questions about origin, purpose, and the afterlife. It summarizes atheistic views which conclude that life has no higher purpose or meaning. It then examines Christian teachings that humanity was created by God, should live with love, has purpose defined by God, and faces an afterlife of either eternal life with God or separation from him. The document asserts that Christianity alone can provide meaning, truth, love and security. It argues that through Jesus, God demonstrates his love for humanity and offers forgiveness and salvation as gifts through faith in him.
The Essentials of Apologetics - Why Christianity (Part 1)?Robin Schumacher
This presentation examines the problem of evil in the world and looks at how to reconcile the concept of an all-powerful and loving God with the reality of evil.
The Essentials of Apologetics - Why Jesus (Part 3)?Robin Schumacher
The document discusses evidence that Jesus is the Messiah and God based on biblical prophecies and teachings. It notes that the Old Testament contains over 100 prophecies about the Messiah that Jesus fulfilled, making the odds of accidental fulfillment astronomical. Jesus' words and actions, such as forgiving sins, claiming eternal existence, and judging the world, implied he saw himself as divine. The New Testament writers also presented Jesus as the Son of God and God in the flesh. The document examines passages where Jesus directly equated himself with God and his divine attributes. Overall, it argues that Jesus uniquely fits all the descriptions of the promised Messiah and claimed divinity, establishing him as the God-Man portrayed in the Bible.
The Essentials of Apologetics - Why Jesus (Part 2)?Robin Schumacher
1. The document discusses the resurrection of Jesus and examines the evidence for it.
2. It outlines four key facts about Jesus' resurrection that are agreed upon by the majority of historians: that Jesus was murdered and buried, his body went missing three days later, he appeared to his disciples and others after his death, and his appearances transformed his followers.
3. It analyzes several proposed explanations for the resurrection and argues that the resurrection itself best explains the established facts about what happened after Jesus' death.
The Essentials of Apologetics - Why Jesus (Part 1)?Robin Schumacher
This document discusses the historical evidence for Jesus' existence and the claims that he was a myth. It addresses arguments that Jesus was copied from pagan gods and evaluates the reliability of the New Testament as a historical source. The document concludes that there is strong evidence that Jesus was a real historical figure based on multiple ancient sources, and most scholars accept certain facts about his life are beyond reasonable doubt, such as that he was baptized, taught in Galilee, and was crucified under Pontius Pilate.
This presentation examines the moral argument for God and presents evidence that shows if God does not exist, then neither do objective moral values and duties.
This presentation presents the second of three core arguments for the existence of God and presents evidence for God being the intelligent cause of the universe.
The Essentials of Apologetics - Why God (Part 1)?Robin Schumacher
This presentation presents the first of three core arguments for the existence of God and presents evidence for God being the beginning cause of the universe.
The Essentials of Apologetics - Why Apologetics?Robin Schumacher
This document discusses the importance and purposes of Christian apologetics. It begins by defining apologetics as providing rational arguments and evidence for why Christianity is true. The main purposes are to 1) validate the truth of Christianity, 2) save unbelievers, 3) strengthen believers, and 4) refute errors. It emphasizes that, while apologetics can influence people, only God saves. The overall goal is to present Christianity as reasonable and guide people to the truth of God.
This is a presentation I created for my teenage daughter who was telling me she wanted to be different, make a statement, etc. So I thought it would be good to show her that she can indeed be different, but in a very positive way.
The Resurrection of Jesus - A Miracle in One of Three WaysRobin Schumacher
The resurrection of Jesus is considered a miracle that can be explained in one of three ways: as a biological miracle, psychological miracle, or theological miracle. The biological and psychological explanations are seen as unlikely due to issues like Jesus' clear death by crucifixion, the empty tomb, and appearances to believers and skeptics. The theological miracle explanation of a divine resurrection aligns best with the historical evidence, including the core undisputed facts accepted by scholars, eyewitness testimony that transformed lives, and the foundation this provides for Christianity. Most rational evidence-based analyses find the theological miracle option to be the best supported.
Moral relativism asserts there is no absolute moral law, but rather that morality is relative to individuals and cultures. The document examines the claims of moral relativism and argues it cannot provide a satisfactory standard or authority for determining right and wrong. In contrast, the Christian worldview grounds objective morality in the transcendent God, who revealed His moral law for humanity's well-being. Without God, everything is permissible, as existentialists like Jean-Paul Sartre acknowledged.
The document discusses agnosticism and analyzes whether Christianity stands up to the criteria for determining when a position of agnosticism is warranted, as outlined by Julian Huxley. It finds that Christianity and the New Testament accounts of Jesus pass Huxley's three main criteria: 1) The accounts are based on eyewitness testimony and events that can be historically verified, unlike speculation. 2) Christianity was not propagated merely to satisfy psychological desires but is grounded in evidence and reality. 3) The New Testament withstands the general criteria for judging the validity of historical works, such as manuscript reliability and corroboration by external evidence. Therefore, the document concludes Christianity is justified in standing as a valid truth claim rather than warranting an
This document discusses atheism and examines its truth claims. It argues that atheism requires faith since it cannot be proven that God does not exist. Atheists counter that God's existence is improbable, but the document notes that improbable things exist, like humanity. It also argues that atheism cannot meet the evidentiary standards for its serious truth claims. While some atheists cite science as disproving God, the document contends that science points to a creator and that scientism has moral failures. Ultimately, the document concludes that atheism relies on faith just like other worldviews.
The document discusses the holy nature of God, focusing on God's simplicity, unity, and Trinity. It provides three key points:
1) God is simple, without parts and indivisible, though existing as three persons in the Trinity. He is one being in essence according to scripture and church fathers.
2) God is one, not many gods, as shown by scripture calling him the one God and creator. Plotinus' philosophy on the unity and diversity of "The One" is referenced.
3) God exists as the Trinity - one what but three whos. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are shown throughout the Old and New Testaments. Jesus compares himself to

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
God calls us to a journey of worshiping Him. In this journey you will encounter different obstacles and derailments that will want to sway you from worshiping God. You got to be intentional in breaking the barriers staged on your way of worship in order to offer God acceptable worship.
The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.

In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.

Counterfeit Christs - Antichrist
1. Counterfeit Christs
A study of false saviors and false salvation
"Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless
you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” - John 8:24
2. Counterfeit Christs
The Ultimate Counterfeit
“"“And through his shrewdness He will cause deceit to succeed by
his influence; And he will magnify himself in his heart, And he will
destroy many while they are at ease. He will even oppose the Prince
of princes, But he will be broken without human agency.“
- Daniel 8:25
3. "Children, it is the last hour; and just
as you heard that antichrist is
coming, even now many antichrists
have appeared; from this we know
that it is the last hour."
(1 John 2:18)
4. Antichrist
ἀντί
① indicating that one person or thing is, or is to be, replaced
by another, instead of, in place of
② indicating that one thing is equiv. to another, for, as, in place
of equiv. equiv. = equivalent
③ opposite.
Note: both definitions fit Antichrist: he will at first masquerade as a
messiah, but then will reveal his true (evil) self afterwards.
5. "“For false Christs and false prophets will
arise and will show great signs and wonders, so
as to mislead, if possible, even the elect."
(Matthew 24:24)
7. Brief Review of Emperor Worship
Egyptian kings regarded as sons of gods
Alexander the Great encounters divine kingship; worshipped
Emperor worship begins in 29 B.C. in Ephesus with Julius Caesar
Caligula (A.D. 37) first to allow veneration of living Roman Caesar
Those coming after (e.g. Domitian) saw political value from being
deified
8. “The more intense man‟s predicament, the more
entrenched is man‟s determination to prove that he can
rule the world without God. Such firm resolve together
with the worsening world situation makes man susceptible
to the claims to an ultimate man – a man who opposes
God, who seems to have the ability necessary to solve the
world‟s problems and to rule the world well without God, a
man who claims to have attained deity and has
supernatural powers which appear to support that claim, a
man who eventually demands total devotion from the
human race and is the ultimate expression of absolute
dictatorship and ruthless self-rule”
-Renald Showers
9. The Deification of Man
Preparation for the deification of Antichrist:
• The serpent said man could become like God…
• Emperor worship said man was a god…
• The Gnostics said humans were divine…
• Hinduism says mankind is God…
• New age teaching says man is a god…
• Mormons say man can become gods…
• Humanism says man is the measure of all things; a god…
• The unification church sees a man as god…
• Scientology says man is divine …
10. “My search is at an end.
In Thee I behold all things.
I, myself, am God.”
-Jiddu Krishnamurti
The Immortal Friend
11. Desperate for a Deliverer
“By forcing on mankind more and more lethal
weapons, and at the same time making the
world more and more interdependent
economically, technology has brought mankind
to such a degree of distress that we are ripe
for the deifying of any new Caesar who might
succeed in giving the world unity and peace.”
- Arnold Toynbee, Historian
13. The Origin of Antichrist
"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.”"
(Genesis 3:15)
Seed of Woman Seed of Serpent
Children of God Children of Devil
Israel bears Christ Rome bears Antichrist
(Rev. 12) (Dan. 9)
Jesus Christ Antichrist
14. The Origin of Antichrist
"“Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off
and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to
come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will
come with a flood; even to the end there will be war;
desolations are determined."
(Daniel 9:26)
15. Names of Antichrist
• Antichrist (1 John 2:22)
• The man of sin (2 Thess. 2:3)
• The son of perdition (2 Thess. 2:3)

17. "“After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast,
dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It
devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was
different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. “While I was
contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them,
and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold,
this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth uttering great
boasts. . . . Then I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words
which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body
was destroyed and given to the burning fire. . . . (Daniel 7:8-11)
18. “Then I desired to know the exact meaning of the fourth beast, which was
different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its
claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed and trampled down the remainder
with its feet, and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other
horn which came up, and before which three of them fell, namely, that horn which
had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and which was larger in appearance
than its associates. “I kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the saints
and overpowering them until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed
in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints
took possession of the kingdom. “Thus he said: „The fourth beast will be a
fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms
and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it. „As for the ten
horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them,
and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings. „He
will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest
One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be
given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. „But the court will sit for
judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed
forever.”
(Daniel 7:19-26)
19. “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to
finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for
iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and
prophecy and to anoint the most holy place. “So you are to know and
discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem
until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it
will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress. “Then
after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing,
and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the
sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be
war; desolations are determined. “And he will make a firm covenant with
the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to
sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one
who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is
decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”"
(Daniel 9:24-27)
20. "“Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt and magnify himself
above every god and will speak monstrous things against the God of
gods; and he will prosper until the indignation is finished, for that which is
decreed will be done. “He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers
or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for
he will magnify himself above them all. “But instead he will honor a god of
fortresses, a god whom his fathers did not know; he will honor him with
gold, silver, costly stones and treasures. “He will take action against the
strongest of fortresses with the help of a foreign god; he will give great
honor to those who acknowledge him and will cause them to rule over the
many, and will parcel out land for a price."
(Daniel 11:36-39)
21. “At the end time the king of the South will collide with him, and the king of
the North will storm against him with chariots, with horsemen and with
many ships; and he will enter countries, overflow them and pass through.
“He will also enter the Beautiful Land, and many countries will fall; but
these will be rescued out of his hand: Edom, Moab and the foremost of
the sons of Ammon. “Then he will stretch out his hand against other
countries, and the land of Egypt will not escape. “But he will gain control
over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the precious
things of Egypt; and Libyans and Ethiopians will follow at his heels.
“But rumors from the East and from the North will disturb him, and he will
go forth with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many. “He will pitch
the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy
Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him."
(Daniel 11:40-45)
22. ““I have come in My Father‟s name, and
you do not receive Me; if another comes
in his own name, you will receive him. ”
(John 5:43)
23. " Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly
shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a
message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord
has come. Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless
the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son
of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god
or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God,
displaying himself as being God. Do you not remember that while I was
still with you, I was telling you these things? And you know what restrains
him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of
lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he
is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the
Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the
appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with
the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with
all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did
not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.“
(2 Thessalonians 2:1-10)
24. " Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I
heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of
thunder, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who
sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out
conquering and to conquer."
(Revelation 6:1-2)
25. "And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming
up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten
diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. And the beast which I saw
was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the
mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great
authority. I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was
healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; they
worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they
worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war
with him?” There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and
blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. And he
opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His
tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. It was also given to him to make war
with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people
and tongue and nation was given to him. All who dwell on the earth will worship
him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world
in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain."
(Revelation 13:1-8)
26. " Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like
a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast
in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the
first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he
even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men.
And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was
given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the
earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has
come to life. And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so
that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not
worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the
great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a
mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be
able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the
beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding
calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number
is six hundred and sixty-six."
(Revelation 13:11-18)
27. “Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying,
“Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with
whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth
were made drunk with the wine of her immorality.” And he carried me away in the Spirit
into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names,
having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and
adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of
abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, and on her forehead a name was
written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF
HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the
witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly. And the angel said to me, “Why
do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her,
which has the seven heads and the ten horns. “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and
is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the
earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the
world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come. “Here is
the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits,
and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he
comes, he must remain a little while. “The beast which was and is not, is himself also an
eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction. “The ten horns which you saw
are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with
the beast for one hour. “These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority
to the beast. ” (Revelation 17:1–13)

39. The Abomination of Desolation
"“And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week
he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one
who makes desolate,.”"(Daniel 9:27)
"“From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set
up, there will be 1,290 days."(Daniel 12:11)
“Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel
the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),"(Matthew 24:15)
"who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he
takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God."(2 Thessalonians 2:4)
"And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to
perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to
the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was given to him to
give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and
cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed."(Revelation 13:14-15)
40. "“He will also enter the Beautiful Land, and many countries will fall; but these will be rescued
out of his hand: Edom, Moab and the foremost of the sons of Ammon. “Then he will stretch
out his hand against other countries, and the land of Egypt will not escape. “But he will gain
control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the precious things of Egypt;
and Libyans and Ethiopians will follow at his heels. “But rumors from the East and from the
North will disturb him, and he will go forth with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many.
“He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy
Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him."
(Daniel 11:41-45)
41. " And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who
performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those
who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped
his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which
burns with brimstone."
(Revelation 19:20)
42. Only One True Christ
" And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called
Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame
of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no
one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is
called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white
and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so
that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and
He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and
on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF
LORDS.”"(Revelation 19:11-16)
43. “He was the meekest and lowest of all the sons of men, yet he spoke as
coming on the clouds of heaven with the glory of God. He was so austere
that evil spirits and demons cried out in terror at his coming, yet he was so
genial and winsome and approachable that the children loved to play with
him and the little ones nestled in his arms. No one was half so kind or
compassionate to sinners, yet no one ever spoke such red hot scorching
words about sin. A bruised reed he would not break. His whole life was
love, yet on one occasion he demanded of the Pharisees how they ever
expected to escape the damnation of hell. He was a dreamer of dreams
and a seer of visions, yet for sheer stock realism he has all of our self-
styled realist soundly beaten. He was the servant of all, washing the
disciple‟s feet, yet masterfully he strolled into the temple and the
hucksters and money changers fell over one another in their mad rush to
get away from the fire they saw blazing in his eyes. He saved others, but
at the last himself he did not save. There is nothing in history like the
union of contrast which confronts us in the gospels, the mystery of Jesus
is the mystery of divine personality.”
