The Increase in Wickedness
Hi Friends,
I hope you are well and at peace. We are engaged in a war between good and evil. The battle is being fought in the heavenlies, and we are to fight in the Spirit, with the Lord as commander in chief.
Our job is to lift up the name of the Lord, and to pray for the salvation and the fear of God to come upon the leaders of our nation and those around the world. We know that when we praise God and worship him that the enemy is captured and bound. The Holy Spirit within us is the restraining force against all wickedness. So please do not stop praying for the persecuted Church and the welfare of Israel. We are in the last days so we must pray without ceasing.
Remember that the Lord will return for his Church, “at the last trumpet,” after the great falling away, and after the Antichrist is revealed, so please don’t go to sleep. Prepare yourselves for the trouble ahead. And God bless you and keep you under the shelter of his wing!
Today I have a vision to share with you regarding the increase in wickedness that has begun and will be coming upon the earth.
The Vision
I saw a very large rodent emerge from a dark pool of water and walk onto the land. His size was significant, not like the tiny guinea pig that he resembled. He had short legs, small ears and no tail. He was greyish brown in color.
I have always considered a rodent to be a pest, with teeth that never stop growing. Rodents love to chew or gnaw wood, cardboard and even plastic. They are tremendous diggers, burrowing underground. Years ago the rats in Chicago used to be so bad that they undermined the foundations under the roads and sidewalks. It became illegal to put garbage disposals in homes and apartments because the food scraps would feed the rat population.
Because of seeing such a large rodent in this vision, I decided to search for images on the internet of large rodents. I believe that the capybara is the rodent in the vision. There were several sources of articles on the subject of rodents, including Wikipedia and another source “Largest Rodents in the World” . This is an excerpt from the article:
“The world's largest rodent in existence is the capybara, which is seen throughout Brazil and neighboring countries. Dwelling in semi-aquatic areas, the barrel-shaped South American rodent ranges from 3.5 to 4.4 feet in length, stands up to 24 inches tall and weighs anywhere from 77 to 146 pounds.”
Wikipedia gave more information on the capybara: It is a semi-aquatic animal, able to stay under the water for 5 minutes. It mates in the water, and it can even sleep in the water like a crocodile, mostly submerged with only its nose exposed.
The pictures of the capybara were priceless. So I decided to share a collection of pictures with you, after all a picture is worth a thousand words.
As the pictures above reveal, the animal is peace loving, and extremely sociable. It makes friends easily with nearly every species of animal—even the dangerous alligator!
This picture of the capybara and the alligator lying next to each other brought this scripture to mind: The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.” Isaiah 11:6
This prophecy of Isaiah concerns the millennial reign of Christ. It is the period of a thousand years after the tribulation, when Christ and his believers will reign on the earth. It will be a time of lasting peace.
However, this vision I believe is about something altogether different.
This vision concerns something more evil. The capybara was in the dark pool of water and emerged from it. This rodent is not who he appears to be. The dark pool represents the underworld, the domain of the devil. Everything that is evil in the world comes from sin and rebellion against God. Satan was rebellious and was throw down to earth because he wanted to be like the Most High. Sin is found in the rebellious, self-seeking wicked hearts of men, who give into their sinful desires, as they are enticed and directed by the powers of darkness. But we do not fight against such people. No, we pray for them!
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12
Many people open the door to the powers of darkness by sinning. We must pray for these people that they come under the conviction of the Holy Spirit and know what it is to fear of God. We pray that they are filled with a deep sorrow for their sinful ways, and that they turn to the Lord and repent. He is faithful and will show them his mercy and salvation. But if we fail to pray for these people, they will die and go to hell.
We pray for all people to turn to God for forgiveness and salvation. In regards to the devil and his demons, we pray against them, against all spiritual forces of evil. Demons are our true enemies. It is in waging spiritual warfare against them that we partner with God and accomplish his will. “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven.” Matthew 18:18
Even so, we must also keep in mind that the battle is not ours. No—the battle is the Lord’s. But we support his cause through prayer and a life that is devoted to serving him. We pray that his perfect will will be done on earth as it is in heaven!
So who is this creature coming from the dark pool? The photos above depict the capybara as a loving, friendly and gentle being. Yet the vision was dark. I believe that he represents someone who appears to be gentle, trustworthy, and innocent of evil, but in reality is not innocent at all. He is an evil man with evil intentions. He is clothed in deceitfulness. He is seen as trusted leader, someone who is disarming. Many surround him as followers, just as the photos show. The capybara is trusted by all breeds of animals: chicks, ducklings, cats, dogs, tapirs, monkeys, and people too. He is considered a man of influence, an honorable man, a man above reproach. Yet, the Lord warns us about such people: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” Matthew 7:15
“These men are hidden reefs in your love feasts, shamelessly feasting with you but shepherding only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried along by the wind; fruitless trees in autumn, twice dead after being uprooted.” Jude 1:12
“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 23:1
These people can be political leaders, having authority and the responsibility of representing the citizens of their state or community, but in truth, they represent only themselves. They care nothing for people. They are hypocrites, for they create laws and mandates for others, but do not adhere to them themselves. These people can also be church leaders, who speak noble words full of grace and compassion, but their true motives are hidden from view.
They can be people with big egos. Their words of wisdom and instruction, and their personal charisma, cause people to place their trust in them, rather than in God. They can have selfish motives and a hidden agenda.
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
Some want to be admired and even worshiped. Using their positions of authority, they teach ideologies and doctrines that oppose Biblical truth. “This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.” 1 John 4:3
This vision of the rodent who comes up out of the dark pool of water and stands on the ground, demonstrates that what was hidden in the water, is now clearly seen. This vision reminds me of another vision the Lord gave me years ago, speaking of the Antichrist. I wrote about it in a post entitled “The White Horse and the Antichrist.”
In this earlier vision, I saw an alligator from the jaw forward. The alligator opened its mouth and out came a lizard nearly the same size as the alligator. He walked out and stood proudly with its head held high, as if he wanted and expected to be admired. At the time of the vision, I believed that the alligator was the devil himself, for an alligator devours everything in its path. I asked myself, who would the devil allow to live? And I immediately thought of the Antichrist. Suddenly the Lord gave me a vision of two page numbers. I grabbed my Bible and I simply opened it. The opened page was actually one of the two page numbers the Lord had just given me. And on that page was a passage describing “the man of lawlessness,” the Antichrist!
How awesome! How great is our God! He just confirmed the meaning of that vision. I knew that the Lord was showing me that the Antichrist was soon to be revealed. I have been expecting this revelation of the Antichrist for some time now and in my heart I believe that it will happen in my lifetime. Of course we know that the Lord had already revealed this to the prophet Daniel. It is there for us to read anytime. But I believe that the Lord was revealing this to me, because it would happen soon.
Returning to the current vision:
The photo of the capybara resting near an alligator above is a bit unsettling. The alligator should be the capybara’s natural enemy. When I saw this, and remembering the earlier vision, the same thought came to me. “Who would the alligator (the devil) allow to live?” Could this be a second vision about the antichrist to be revealed? I believe the answer is “Yes.”
I want to share the links of three Youtube videos which support the notion of who the antichrist may be. And if not the antichrist, perhaps the person you see may be preparing the way for him to appear. I hope you will have a chance to watch these three videos. And of course take this to God. Use the wisdom and discernment that the Lord gives you, and pray for understanding. Always test the spirit and the message.
The One World Religion Train (Torben Sondergaard)
The Rise of a One World Religion (Amir Tsarfati)
“Did the Pope Just Confirm the 7 year Covenant?” (Ken Raggio)
I wrote about the plans of a one world religion being promoted by the Vatican in my post entitled “Chrislam, What is It?” Chrislam is a blending of the three religions: Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Pope Francis is promoting a one world religion, having already created two centers of worship for these three religions. One worship center is in Berlin, Germany and the other is on the Arabian Peninsula in Abu Dhabi. The worship center in Abu Dhabi consists of three buildings: a church, a synagogue, and a mosque. This complex is called “The Abrahamic Family House,” because the idea being put forth is this: these three religions are a brotherhood with Abraham as their father. The Pope claims that we all serve the same God. This is heresy and a tremendous lie that the devil wants you to believe. We do not have the same father, nor do we serve the same God. “No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.” 1 John 2:23
Jesus made it perfectly clear that the Pharisees of his day did not share the same father: “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:44
The followers of Islam claim that Muhammad received his revelation about God through the angel Gabriel. But the Bible, the true word of God says “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8
The teachings of the Koran are accursed. They deny the deity of Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God. The message of the Koran is no gospel at all, for there is no “Good News,” within its pages. These teachings are humanistic coming from the wicked soul of man, not from the loving heart of our Lord, God and Creator. The Koran’s message appeals to man, for it is based on doing works for salvation. Do this—do that and you will be honored in heaven!
But there is no salvation without the perfect blood of our Lord shed for the sins of the world. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
The notion that every path leads to heaven is a damning false teaching! This is an abomination to God! We must ask ourselves, “How can such a gentle, humble, trustworthy man of God, as Pope Francis, propose and promote such an idea to lead the entire world astray?
Do you see the Capybara? The wolf in sheep’s clothing? Did you see how the Pope has looked the other way when his own country of Argentina, and a neighboring country of Brazil were proposing legislation to promote abortion? And did so. Why did he remain silent? Why does he look the other way with regards to same sex marriage? Why does he align with the globalists who want to reduce the current population and reduce the consumption of fossil fuels to protect “Mother Earth?” Why does his own literature refer to the earth as a person, as a woman, a mother, a deity? Isn’t this idolatry? Isn’t the worship of Allah idolatry?
“Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.’” 2 Corinthians 6:14-16
It is time to pray. The Pope is a man that has been led astray by teachings that are contrary to Biblical truth. He has embraced communism as the best means of governance and economy. Communism has killed untold numbers of people. Their flag is red, for it represents bloodshed.
The Pope may or may not be the Antichrist, but no matter, we are not to follow such teachers that have departed from the faith. The Bible warns us that a great number of people will leave the faith. This is apostasy. Please do not be led astray. Hold fast to the words of truth, the revealed word of God —the Bible!
Please take these words to heart: “‘Therefore come out from among them and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.’” 2 Corinthians 6:17
Please watch the three videos which I have included above. And read this post that I have written concerning the Pope’s two centers of worship. “Chrislam? What is it?”
I wish it weren’t so, but our eyes need to be open. Lies and unbelief keeps us in bondage. It is the truth that sets us free. So be bless! Be Free!
And please share this important post!
God bless you!
