Cain & Abel
1. The Mark of Cain (ante-diluvian world) (Gen 4:15)
“And Cain said unto the Lord , My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the land; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. And the Lord said unto him,Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord , and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.” (Genesis 4:13-17) ain was the first recorded offspring of Adam and Eve and the first to give way to ‘sin’ (rebellion) that

was beckoning at the door of his heart (Gen 4:7). His previous years of jealousy, anger and revenge became a hatred which then manifested in violence and the murder of his brother Abel. According to God (Yahweh), Cain could have taken authority over that sin (Satan) (Gen 4:8) and ruled over it despite the temptation. Sadly we see how Cain instead chose to do this evil act of rebellion and so was punished. Satan (Serpent) was trying to hinder God’s plan of redemption through the righteous Abel. Satan was outwitted and so he turned to violence, shedding innocent blood. Using the sins of the flesh and false religion he persuades ignorant men to worship him. This is the iniquitous deception of Satan implemented by fallen angels and devils! Cain was the first on this destructive path, because he had no means of redemption he was guilty of sin

and became bitter. Now he was hidden from the face of God and a spiritually blind wanderer. He was on his own! “And the Lord said unto Cain,Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.” (Gen 4:7) Justice had demanded that he pay a price for his rebellion against God’s command to rule over sin and for taking the life of his brother. As punishment Cain is banished by God from Eden, despite there being no actual Law against murder at that time. Cain is punished for yielding to sin (Satan) and because he shed the innocent blood of his brother. Unusually he is not given the death sentence (a law given later to Moses). Despite this, death had entered the world by Cain’s yielding to sin (Satan), humanity was infected with violence and murder (Rom 5:12-17). Cain feared that Satan would pursue him and destroy him through other violent men! (we have to ask ‘who were these others?’, but that’s another topic) Interestingly, there is no mention of ‘demons’ at this point in history, something that develops after the flood judgement centuries later. Cain and subsequently his descendants cursed by God will struggle to live off the land effectively. Fearing for his life Cain complains to God who decides to put a spiritual ‘mark’ on Cain to prevent him being killed in the future. Why was this? It seems an incredibly lenient punishment. God shows mercy and honours the fact that he is Adam’s firstborn. God also had another purpose for the line of Cain

that would reveal an essential truth to humanity throughout history, that ‘sin leads to death’. God’s rejection of Cain spiritually is revealed in that there is no genealogy recorded for Cain’s family line, but we can safely assume that they multiplied greatly over the following centuries and filled the earth. Cain’s ‘mark’ meant that anyone who did try to kill Cain would receive ‘sevenfold’ vengeance back! There’s no record of this ever happening to Cain, so the mark must have been effective, but what was it? This mysterious visible or invisible ‘mark’ reveals itself as we follow Cain’s initial wandering. Cain and a wife go from God’s land, God’s presence and his parents (protection) becoming a fugitive. He wanders to a place East of Eden later called Nod (wandering - Persian Gulf see map overleaf). He leaves his grieving, ashamed and stunned parents behind, who by this time had birthed a very large family of children (as far as we can assume). In Persia (Nod) Cain is inspired to build a city named after his first son Enoch (dedicated). This is the clue to Cain’s ‘mark’, he was given knowledge to BUILD and DEFEND himself without God. Sin taught him these skills and this city of Enoch was the first major city on earth. It made him and his son powerful and famous. Enoch or Eridu was not a city on our modern scale, but it was still the opposite of the garden of God built of man-made bricks and mortar and hand carved stones and idols. Cain and Enoch created a new idea of existence away from the holy land of Eden, he invented city life, bricks and mortar and with it came false religion and self reliance. The family of Cain were the first ‘masons’ or ‘builders’, and also

‘warriors’ and ‘soldiers’. Up until the great flood of Noah many cities were built and as a consequence crime and violence grew to a global level. Mankind even created offspring with fallen angels who had become like men in order to have sex with human women (Gen 6:2). These hybrid humans were wicked spirits and some were possibly giants many metres tall! They dominated society and built huge pagan temples and homes to live in.

I don’t put much faith in the way science dates anything but, it does give us an idea of the biblical facts. From dates that I have gotten from the Bible, that would place the city of Enoch close to what is called the Ubaid period. The flood, or the deluge as told on a 17 century BC Sumerian fragmentary tablet, would have happened approximately 2668BC. The City of Cain - Eridu Enoch’s, or Eridu’s, rediscovery after the flood would place the rebuilding of the city Where was this first city built? Keep in mind that the earth at this point is still one approximately 2500BC during the early Dynastic II period. The city Eridu (Enoch) landmass, a kind of ‘Pangaea’, and the was abandoned for over 150 years because flood has not yet happened. everything and everyone that breathed air ‘Eridu (Enoch) was long considered by was killed in the flood.

empires. At the core of this growth has been Freemasonry and secret societies. We see that this ‘building’ was greatly restricted by God. However, as history progressed great structure came and went (Dan 4:35) and then the Romans began a new global building project. The final age of grace and the church has allowed mankind free reign to build and create ad infinitum (despite wars and disasters) until the final judgement comes (Rev 19). When these works of men (civilisation) are destroyed bringing a greater glory to God than Egypt’s destruction under Moses, as mystery Babylon (Cain’s one world) falls in just 1 hour! This is the great wrath of God upon Satan’s earthly Kingdoms built by those with the mark of Cain! The Cainish world tries to unite as one ‘without God’ and to reach to heaven building their tall towers and now rockets to space (heaven). You could almost say that the mark of Cain is summed up by the phrase, ‘reach for the stars’. The demons spirits, and even Satan himself, are trying to escape earth to avoid the coming wrath!

Does this mean that all those who are builders or soldiers are evil? By no means, but we are talking about what motivates a man spiritually to do things. The Freemasons and other secret societies worship the marks (symbols) and the architecture of their father the devil. As far as we know the flesh line of Cain was totally destroyed by the flood judgement, but there are still demonic entities from that antediluvian era which entice and distract men to give their lives over to such vanities in SIN CITIES! They can have an appearance of good, but in the end they lead to death and destruction! Think how many nations and empires (since Christ) have come and gone through the covetous corruptions of murder, violence and trade! We are in a day where all nations are now free to build, a day where ‘nothing will be impossible’ for them (Gen 11:6). It’s an extraordinary time and we must see the spirit behind so called ‘progress’. Death and corruption are again reaching epidemic levels on a global scale, because Satan does what he has always done to

deceive men. The rulers of this world are increasingly confident that they can win, the scientists think that by their potions they can defeat ageing and death. Demons are increasingly explained away as ‘aliens from space’, and immorality is considered a ‘right of choice’. Idol worship and the occult is on the increase on a scale never conceived even in ancient times. The end time harvest of the wheat and tares preached by Jesus is here (Matt 13:30). Men glory in their sinful cities, in their constructions, inventions and in their drugs exploiting and destroying each other and God’s creation! The earth and world system is truly lost in darkness and doomed to a judgement day. Make no mistake this earth WILL pass away, because it’s no longer as Jesus had created it (2
as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.” (1 John 3:11-13)
The terrible day of the Lord
Listen to the advice of Peter who more than most knew what the plans of God would be for us in this day! “For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, Timothy 3:12-13). that one day is with the Lord as a thousand “These are spots in your feasts of charity, when years, and a thousand years as one day.The they feast with you, feeding themselves without Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as fear: clouds they are without water, carried some men count slackness; but is longsuffering about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the but that all should come to repentance. But roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their the day of the Lord will come as a thief own shame; wandering stars, to whom in the night; in the which the heavens is reserved the blackness of darkness shall pass away with a great noise, and for ever. And Enoch also, the seventh from the elements shall melt with fervent Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the heat, the earth also and the works that Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, are therein shall be burned up. Seeing To execute judgment upon all, and to convince then that all these things shall be dissolved, all that are ungodly among them of all their what manner of persons ought ye to be in all ungodly deeds which they have ungodly holy conversation and godliness, looking for committed, and of all their hard speeches which and hasting unto the coming of the day of ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

2. The Mark of Israel (Exod 31:7) with Cain, they were free. The wives of the Noah was the last righteous man on earth, but as for his other family members we cannot vouch, but God was merciful to Noah and saved them as well! Following the global flood catastrophe the earth had been transformed in a multitude of ways. The shape of earths surface and it’s atmosphere were completely transformed. Multitudes had been destroyed, man and beast, vegetation and land gone forever! The earth had literally cracked open like a broken egg! Millions of animals and men were buried under mountains of sediment and volcanic rock never to be seen again. Some animals nearer the surface were fossilised. Mountains had been created by massive movements of the earths crust. The sky was now blue with white clouds when previously it was probably pinkish with no clouds or rain. Wind, rain and storms along with rainbows and lightening bolts were the new normal. It was like a new heaven and earth to Noah and the last survivors of earth. More importantly this was a brand new start with mankind cleansed of it’s evil hybrid men. However, physical judgement does not necessarily remove spiritual realities. Satan and his hordes were now disembodied, but they still roamed the new earth looking to once again thwart Gods plan of salvation for mankind. Noah’s son Ham soon discovered that spiritual realities still functioned in the new world. He was cursed by his drunken father, after mocking his nakedness to his brothers, destined to be submissive to his brother Shem in generations to come (Gen 9). God made a global covenant with Noah and all animal life, but no mark was upon them as

three brothers are of unknown origin and may well have been descended of Cain, we don’t know for sure. It’s interesting to note that it’s Ham’s sons who eventually rebuild the great ancient cities, the mark of Cain possibly reborn in his descendants? But what of Shem’s descendants? No mention of city building, but rather of nomadic living in tents. We especially see this we come to Abram in Genesis 12. We see that Abraham is God’s friend and does what ‘Yahweh’ desires of him and so he receives the great and precious promises! He is also marked by God with these words: “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3) Meanwhile the descendants of Ham devise religious systems and cities of wickedness! The supernatural destruction of Sodom & Gommorah by angels to prevent a reemerging rebellion reveals that mankind was going back to its old ways. However, Abraham becomes the Father of Issac and Issac of Jacob. They are all shepherds and tent dwellers. Via a famine Jacob’s children later become refugees and then slaves in Egypt, but God’s plan was to fulfil his promises to Abraham. Through Moses God delivers his people out of the cities of Egypt towards the land promised to Abraham 400 years before.Yahweh meets with Israel in the desert and makes a contract with them to bless them if they keep his laws that expel sin from them. He gives them a ‘mark’ or ‘sign’ to establish this agreement and a tabernacle of God to deal with sin. “Speak thou also unto the children of Israel,

to his Word through the prophets (Deut 29:22-29). It was a tough but necessary discipline, so that in the end God’s purposes would be fulfilled and many millions would come to know him through the testimony of Jesus the Messiah. As Moses had promised Israel, a Messiah (the pure SEED), would come who would fully redeem them from their sins (Deut 18:15). This ‘son of man’ was born in Israel at just the right time and would ultimately reign as Lord and eternal king on the throne of David. He would bring a new covenant and a new ‘sign’ or ‘mark’ that would transform Israel’s remnant and all the nations as promised to Abraham. This was through the Gospel of Jesus Christ who came with a new revelation never seen before. What was this mark? John the baptist came to prepare the way for the Messiah and for the new covenant that he would make with Israel, in order to save them from the destruction of the land and the ultimate judgement of the second death (spiritual death). John the baptist declared that Jesus was the ‘Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world’. “I baptize you in water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than 3. The Mark of Jesus (Eph 1:13) I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He Israel carry their mark of the Sabbath will baptise you in the Holy Spirit and (covenant) forever as a sign to the world fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and of God’s faithfulness. However, when he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his they failed to keep these Sabbath laws wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff and maintain the Levitical priesthood, as with unquenchable fire.” (Matt 3:11-12) the Law demanded, the earthly covenant dictated that they should be expelled from The mark of Jesus and thus the church is the holy land that they had inherited. This the Holy Spirit dwelling in those whom God chooses from among both the Jews was so that the name of God would not and the nations. This ‘mark’, ‘sign’ or ‘seal’ be blasphemed by being associated with is referred to by Paul as ‘the mystery of evil. The Bible narrative shows that this discipline happened on several occasions to the ages’ and reveals itself in a number of prove to the nations that God was faithful noticeable ways, through deliverance from sin, iniquity and progressively leading to saying,Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever” (Exodus 31:13,16-18) This sign (mark) of the Jewish people sets them apart from all other nations. They were also given annual Sabbath feasts as well as the weekly day off from working, something they had not known before. This put Israel at odds with all the nations around her who had no agreement with God and were mainly occult idol worshippers sacrificing their children to Satan. God’s people had the promises of God and the sign of covenant law (Sabbath) and the guarantee of the promises (circumcision). These first two marks lasted for thousands of years and made a clear distinction between Jew and Gentile. The blind nations do not truly appreciate that the Jews have the mark of God on them.

purity of life and power in serving others. “Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.” (Col 1:26-28) This is the mark of Christ first seen when he began his ministry in Capernaum. He began, as he continued, by destroying the work of Satan in the people of God and the Holy Spirit comes from him upon them like a refining fire to remove sin. “And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.” (Mark 1:21-28)
The uniqueness of Jesus, this ‘son of man’ is that he had power over Satan and over his demons. This is his new doctrine and
omega-ministries.org
something not seen on earth up to this point. This is what John the baptist meant when he said, “he will baptise with the Holy Spirit and fire”. He healed countless thousands in this way over just three and a half years whilst simultaneously training his disciples to do the same. This was the authority that Jesus passed on to the apostles and prophets including Peter, John, James, Stephen, Philip and later Paul and Barnabas etc. who took the message to the nations (Gentiles). This spiritual authority and power over evil is the true mark of the church of Jesus, as even Jesus himself said, “He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” (Mark 16:16-18) This Holy Spirit power is from the Kingdom of Heaven, a power that redeems and restores people back to how God intended them to be - healthy, whole and free from sin. However, it’s only a foretaste of that which is to come, as all men eventually die physically, but it’s a sign and promise that God will be coming back. Cain was a sign that Satan came, Israel was a sign that Messiah would come, Jesus was a sign that the Holy Spirit would come and the Holy Spirit in the Church is a sign that the Father Almighty is coming! This is why Satan attacks the true church (that does the Word) and tries by religion to prevent the Holy Spirit from having free reign in the Christian believer. “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ

Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” (2 Timothy 3:12-13) To really oppose Christians Satan devised his own mark to impose upon the unbelievers in the world, to try and trap them for eternity with him in hell! These are the days of the apostasy in which we now live, the age of the beast!
4. The Mark of the second beast (Rev 13:11-18)
“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” (Rev 13:11-18) Beasts in prophetic Scripture represent Kings and Kingdoms that have power particularly in the middle eastern regions 10

(see Daniel 2:38; 7:17) and this includes the European world. Revelation was written in prophetic code, so that only the believers to whom it was written would be able to decipher it. It was a vision of how Christ would direct history from his throne in the heavens breaking the seals of time. Parts were descriptive of the actual time in which it was written (Rev 1–4), but also it prophesied the future of the world in a spiritual overview of kingdoms and judgements to come. The first beast, mentioned in Revelation 13:1 comes from the ‘sea’, this is symbolic of a ‘kingdom made from all the nations of Europe’ and the known world (at that time around the Mediterranean Sea). This was and is symbolic of the Roman empire which at this time became undefeated in war (13:4) by hiring mercenaries within the nations they conquered. In verse 13:7 the vision explains how the Roman empire would conquer everyone - even (and especially) Britain on its farthest edges. Augustus to Aurelius saw the rise of Rome and its empire for 200 years of unchallenged dominance.
The Dominance of Rome This unstoppable conquering lasted for 200 years from Caesar Octavian to Caesar Aurelius. The 206 years that began with the rule of Octavian (Augustus) is traditionally regarded as the Pax Romana (‘Roman Peace’). During this period, the cohesion of the beast empire was furthered by a degree of social stability and economic prosperity that Rome had never before experienced. Uprisings in the provinces were infrequent, but put down ‘mercilessly and swiftly’ when they

occurred. The sixty years of Jewish–Roman wars in the second half of the 1st century and the first half Vespasian of the 2nd century were exceptional in their duration and violence. During this period nearly 10 million true Christian believers were Britain AD 211 tortured and murdered for Denarius Goddess Roma sport (also mentioned in verse Rev 13:7)! This has actually happened, this is now recorded history, a terrible period of dominance by Satan Hadrian over all men, starting with Jerusalem being conquered and ploughed over in AD 70-73 by Titus and Vespasian! Even a Roman Temple was built and named after their god ‘Jupiter Capitolinas’ (abomination of desolation) and a city called Aelia Capitolina* which remained the official name for the city, given by Hadrian for defeated Jerusalem, until 638 AD when the Arabs (Islam) finally conquered the city and kept the first part of its name Iliya (Aelia). Interestingly by this time Muhammad was dead having never seen Jerusalem and as such he never mentioned it in the Koran! Effectively Jewish Jerusalem no longer existed except in ancient Scripture and folklore, being buried underneath these two foreign dynasties (see Matt 5:13; Rev

11:12). So this was the first
beast (kingdom) out of the ‘Sea’ and is also the ‘Iron legs’ of the statue vision that Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar saw 600 years before (Dan 2:40).
Decline of the First Beast A period of increasing trouble and decline began with the reign of Commodus. Commodus’ assassination in AD192 triggered the Year of the Five Emperors, of which Septimius Severus emerged victorious. The assassination of Alexander Severus in 235 led to the Crisis of the Third Century in which 26 men were declared emperor by the Diocletian Roman Senate over a fifty-year time span. It was not until the reign of Diocletian that the empire was fully stabilised Constantine with the introduction of the Tetrarchy, which saw four emperors rule the empire at once. This arrangement was ultimately unsuccessful, leading to a civil war that was finally ended by Constantine the Great, (declared Emperor in York, Britain!). He defeated his rivals and became the sole ruler of the empire in AD324. Constantine subsequently established a second capitol city in Byzantium, which he renamed Constantinople. It remained the capital of the east until its demise, this was the great split of the Empire into two. The confused Constantine also adopted an apostate form of ‘Christianity’ (Mithraism) which later became the official ‘state religion’. This reduced persecution but hindered the power of the Kingdom of God opening the door to even more heresy and the coming Anti-Christ. The Empire now o

had two main cities ruling - Rome and Constantinople which was eventually conceded to Islamism (Turkish Ottoman) in 1453 AD (Istanbul). The last emperor (Romulous Augustus) dies at this time leaving the ‘little horn’ of the Papal See in Rome who eventually revives persecution against the true believers, but this time in the name of ‘God’. The Holy Roman Empire fulfils all the qualities of the AntiChrist rulers predicted by the apostles. The Roman Empire was the most powerful economic, cultural, political and military force in the world in its time. It was one of the largest empires in world history. At its height under Trajan, it covered 5 million square kilometres. It held sway over an estimated 70 million people, at that time 21% of the world’s entire population. The longevity and vast extent of the empire ensured the lasting

influence of Latin and Greek language, culture, religion, inventions, architecture, philosophy, law and forms of government on the empire’s descendants. Throughout the European medieval period, attempts were even made to establish successors to the Roman Empire, including the Empire of Romania, a Crusader state, and the Holy Roman Empire. The spirit of the empire continued on and by means of European colonialism following the Renaissance, and their descendant states, Greco-Roman and Judaeo-Christian culture was exported on a worldwide scale, playing a crucial role in the development of the modern world. The feet of iron and clay mixed represents this modern world with its humanistic and scientific approach to life. Revelation 13 describes this period of power shift during the collapse and
o
omega-ministries.org
reveals that a new beast or kingdom emerges after this first beast kingdom, but it’s different in that it has just two small horns like a Lamb. This is a two horned kingdom which is based on the first and it worships or submits to the achievements of Romanism. It then supersedes it becoming global in its influence. This final dual kingdom (2 horns) is also represented as the ‘feet of clay’ and iron mixed in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. These two kingdoms Pope Leo XIII are different in that they are global, the feet touch the whole earth. The first beast of Rome was just nations around the Great Sea (see Papal Coin Map on page 11). The first beast brought forth the great apostasy as it birthed the Holy Roman Empire and the Papacy - the little horn (Dan 7:8, 8:9).
But this little horn although religious and semi-Christian and blasphemous in respect to the Gospel is not the second beast, but the harlot who rides the beast! It was part of the first beast scenario, because it came from among the ten horns. This little horn (Papacy) spiritually ruled the kings of Europe, but was finally beheaded in 1848 losing all temporal power to the humanist French after Napoleon. The horned Roman Empire

was completely gone - or was it? The second beast is a kingdom that emerges and surpasses the European kingdom of fallen Rome and goes global in a short period of time. Only one empire emerged to fulfil this description - The British King George III - 1818 Empire! The very place where Constantine the Great was crowned emperor over a thousand years before in AD 324 in York, England. The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom and its predecessor states. It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the
largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1913, the British Empire held sway over 412 million people, 23% of the world population at the time, and by 1920, it covered 35,500,000 km2 (13,700,000 square miles), 24% of the Earth’s total land area including the new world (America). As a result, its political, legal, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, the phrase ‘the empire on which o

In both cases there is significant proof that Romanism, Jesuits and Freemasonry were deeply involved in the creation of the US Government and influenced decisions made regarding war, banking and technology. Despite Americas rise, London and the pound are still the dominant economic force. The Cainish beliefs ultimately lift up Lucifer as the god of the world and brings forth the vision of the One World government to bring ‘Pax Orbis’(‘World peace’). These two nations, despite their apparent separation, retained a ‘special relationship’ in seeking to control revolution within and enemies without. However, without realising the over arching truth that it is the Lord Christ who causes nations to rise and fall to achieve His purposes. America built its government structure on a combination of British and Roman law. American power was to be their superior military prowess and especially their mastery of nuclear weapons, causing fire to reign down upon their enemies in Japan and by dominating the seas and economy alongside Britain. Like Rome, Britain and the US are the joint global policeman of the world, the two horns. Both these nations have instituted vast economic and military powers around the globe through the Pound and the Dollar.

the sun never sets’ was often used to describe the British Empire, because its expanse around the globe meant that the sun was always shining on at least one of its territories. Unchallenged at sea, British dominance was later described as Pax Britannica (‘British Peace’, notice the similarity with Rome before ‘Pax Romana’), a period of relative peace in Europe and the world (1815–1914) during which the British Empire became the global hegemon and adopted the role of global policeman. This sounds remarkably like early Rome! London became the defacto capital of the world in all respects, even of time itself (Greenwich), it’s wars extended to China and the Americas. Although it claimed to have the Christian foundation of faith (like a Lamb), it spoke harshly against it’s competitors (like a dragon). It’s global dominance was powered by the infamous industrial revolution (where it was invented) and powerful warships. It’s newest territory in the ‘New World’ later became known as America after the Italian explorer and cartographer Amerigo Vespucci who demonstrated to Europeans that the New World was not Asia, but a previously unknown fourth continent. Here we see a significant Italian or Roman connection. America is also made of many nations and became the second ‘horn of the Lamb’ and where the British Empire dominated the Old World this nation was set to dominate

The Special relationship
The Language of the Beast The language of the first beast in Revelation (Romanism) was Latin which originated out of Italy from Latini and the Italic languages of the region. Through the power of the Roman Republic, it became the dominant language, initially in Italy and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. It overtook the Greek although it did not quench it. As today many languages existed, but the dominant language was that of the ruling power of the day. Vulgar Latin developed into the Romance languages, such as Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Romanian. Latin and French have contributed many words to the newer English language. Latin and Ancient Greek roots are used in theology, biology, and medicine. Although no longer used as a language of conversation Latin was and is still significant in understanding prophecy. English is a West Germanic language that originated from AngloFrisian dialects brought to Britain in the mid 5th to 7th centuries AD by Germanic invaders and settlers from what is now northwest Germany, west Denmark and the Netherlands, displacing the Celtic (Latin based) languages that previously predominated (Welsh). English is a language of languages, a global language if you like. The language of the second beast is therefore English which was demanded and taught by the British Empire (even with a ruling Germanic aristocracy).

Since it’s independence the United States of America has kept it’s strong ties with the UK for many reasons. The Special Relationship is an unofficial term for the political, diplomatic, cultural, economic, military, and historical relations between the United Kingdom and the United States. It was used in a 1946 speech by Winston Churchill. The two nations have been close allies in many conflicts in the 20th and 21st centuries, including World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Cold War, the Gulf War, and the War on Terror. Although the UK and US have close relationships with many other nations, the level of cooperation between them in economic activity, trade and commerce, military planning, execution of military operations, nuclear weapons technology, and intelligence sharing has been described as ‘unparalleled’ among major powers. The existence of a ‘special relationship’ has sometimes been described as a myth. US president Barack Obama considered Germany to be his ‘closest international partner’ and said the UK would be at the ‘back of the queue’ in any trade deal with the US if it left the European Union, though the latter remark was likely intended as a warning against Brexit rather than a statement against the Special Relationship. Following the election of president Donald Trump, the British government sought to establish ‘a new special relationship’ with the Trump administration, a policy which is controversial in the UK, but again reveals that these two nations are very closely allied and have a huge influence on world affairs.

spoken in the US is English and this shows that these ‘two horns’ of the beast and the ‘two feet’ of Nebuchadnezzar’s statue fulfil the vision John saw of human history up to the end of the ages. They form the foundation of ‘mystery Babylon’ the global kingdom of Satan, despite the fact that the gospel has also emerged from both nations, but this was despite the governments of then and now. The Gospel message was able to spread within the open borders in the places conquered and even beyond this. Neither nation has ever been purely ‘Christian’, but many have been influenced greatly by the Word of God to do his will. Remember that the language of Revelation is very symbolic and is designed to give an overall view of how spiritual forces affect the visible world we live in. So what about the ‘mark’ of the beast mentioned in the Revelation account? The mark of the beast is about Satan’s main controlling influence in the world money. He promotes greed and all kinds of vain lusts through the systems of the world to buy and sell the creation which belongs God alone! “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” (1 Timothy 6:10) “But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” (Matthew 6:23-25)
This is the spirit of Babylon and iniquity. Previously we saw that other ‘marks’ 16

o
mentioned in the Scriptures are invisible ‘spiritual’ marks that can be seen by God, angels and believers. Humans can only detect these spiritual markers when in dwelt by the Holy Spirit who opens our inner eyes to see the truth. Christians do have a spiritual mark on their forehead which represents the mind of Christ within us. It means we think like him based on the Word of the Father which is fully revealed through the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. The apostles testified to this truth. In Scripture the right hand symbolises what we do - our work and who we work for. For example Jesus is called the ‘right hand of God’ because he did the Father’s work (Isa 41:10; Mark 16:9; Acts 2:33). So we see that the ‘mark’ or ‘name’ or ‘number’ of the beast is imposed upon mankind to ‘buy and sell’. All this is ‘economic pressure’ to conform to the system of the world, that is to ‘think’ and ‘do’ as the world does, to serve money and wealth, in order to escape persecution for righteousness sake. For the true Christians of history this has always been the case from the days of Rome right up
to the days of London and New York. The main currencies in the world today remain the Dollar and the Pound and just like the Romans we have the coin image as evidence. Remember what Jesus said to the Pharisees: “Tell us therefore,What thinkest thou? Is it

lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said,Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny (denarius). And he saith unto them, Whose is this IMAGE and SUPERSCRIPTION? They say unto him, Caesar’s.Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.” (Matthew 22:17-21) Whatever the financial system the world devises (barcodes & QR codes) it’s not so much how we transact but rather why? The apostle John wrote some crucial letters regarding this battle for the mind and the will of the believer. In them he makes quite plain (as did Jesus) that we must not be like the world in their thinking. Being money centric and desiring it’s benefits over and above a relationship with Christ causes untold evil problems and the apostate church (Papacy) fell into this trap centuries ago. The apostles teach that we should indeed work to provide for ourselves and family, but that we should also care for the poor and focus on mission to the lost, rather than store up heaps of cash in the bank or material goods that will be destroyed! “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” (1 John 2:15-16) This is the very same John who also informs us that there is not just one anti-christ but many, not just one false prophet, but many who seek to draw our minds on to the things of this world. He states that from his day until the end we are in the tribulation of mankind - the

last days! The last time started when Jesus rose from the dead and ascended to heaven as Lord and King! “And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” (1 John 2:17-18) At the end of the day Satan wants to control your mind and dominate your actions to keep you from serving Christ as Lord. He wants you to serve money. This is why Jesus takes us ‘out of the world’ system spiritually and sometimes physically, in order to serve his purpose. The true disciples of God are motivated by faith not by money and it’s power. “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you,The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.” (John 15:16-21) If a one world government system does emerge in our day, it will try to persuade us to conform to their worship of money or a form of it (e.g. bitcoin), so that we o

serve them and not Christ. Unless we are prepared to lose everything for the Kingdom of God we are not worthy of Christ and will not be his disciples. This is a serious time and soon we may be called upon to stand and be counted. We must prepare our hearts now, we must fast and pray that we are not swallowed up in the same dissipations as the world that runs after money and vanities. “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.” (Matthew 10:37-39)
And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” (Acts 26:14-18) Satan has always organised his kingdom on the basis of creating chaos among nations and attacking Christ. This enables him and his host to do the most damage to humanity. His aim is to kill us all! Just look at history and how many people have died through wars, famines, pestilences and disasters! Man’s continual sin and iniquity has opened the door for Satan to have his way and this will culminate in a world that is cruel and heartless that takes more life than it gives. The world is currently run by secret elites and societies that have been developed by these anti-christ spirits. The centre for this system is a hidden threefold structure of evil control by the two beast kingdoms and the harlot. Satan controls the main activities of; Religion, Economy, and Military, through three city states and Freemasonry that have no accountability to the masses. The first of these is Religion. The Vatican has fulfilled this role since it’s creation back in 14 BC!
The Three City States The modern world is not as it appears to be. Because we grow up in a particular culture and are taught it’s particular values we usually have a distorted view of reality. What most of us do not realise is that this has been a deliberate manipulative policy of Satan over the last two millennia. The Bible declares that Satan is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:3-5) and blinds the minds of the unbelievers. Once we are born again the Scripture declares that we receive new sight and should be able to see this deception. Paul also makes it clear, when testifying to King Agrippa, that this is the mission of Christ, to save souls for eternity to come. “And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And I said,Who art thou, Lord? 18

border within Italy, Vatican City is an independent city-state that covers just over 100 acres, making it one-eighth the size of New York’s Central Park. The politics of Vatican City takes place in an absolute elective monarchy, in which the head of the Roman Catholic Church takes power. The Pope exercises principal legislative, executive, and judicial power over the State of Vatican City (an entity distinct from the Holy See), which is a rare case of a non-hereditary monarchy. Vatican City is one of the few widely recognized independent states that has not become a member of the United Nations. The Holy See (1000 years old), which is distinct from Vatican City State, has permanent observer status with all the rights of a full member except for a vote in the UN General Assembly.
The state’s foreign relations are entrusted to the Holy See’s Secretariat of State and diplomatic service. Nevertheless, the Pope has absolute power in the executive, legislative and judicial branches over Vatican City. He is currently the only absolute monarch in Europe! Roman Emperor Caligula built a small circus in his mother’s gardens at the base of Vatican Hill where charioteers trained and where Nero is thought to have martyred the Christians. To crown the center of the amphitheater, Caligula had his forces transport from Egypt a pylon that had originally stood in Heliopolis. The obelisk, made of a single piece of red granite weighing more than 350 tons, was erected for an Egyptian pharaoh more than 3,000 years ago. In 1586 it was moved to its present location in St. Peter’s Square, this phallic symbol does double duty as a giant sundial. The Egyptian Needle at the centre of the papal sundial
Vatican’s political system The government of Vatican City has a unique structure. The Pope is the sovereign of the state. Legislative authority is vested in the Pontifical Commission for Vatican City State, a body of cardinals appointed by the Pope for five-year periods. Executive power is in the hands of the President of that commission, assisted by the General Secretary and Deputy General Secretary.

www.carm.org) Rather it is the apostate religion that Paul warned would one day appear headed by the ‘son of perdition’ (2 Thess 2). The final Pope will be a global leader uniting all the other religions together against Christ, but appearing to serve God. This is the ultimate delusion which Jesus Christ will use to separate the true Christian from the false. The Roman Catholic church has an estimated membership of 1.4 billion people. It’s the wealthiest organisation on earth owning countless land and property. The Pope himself earns an estimated £200 million a year and has absolute control over all assets! These assets could amount to trillions. The cash circulation in the US alone amounts to $170 billion. The largest corporation in America Apple has a mere $140 billion cash assets. So as we see, ‘follow the money’ and you soon find out what the truth is. Millions in the world are starving and yet these assets are retained - even expanded. This brings us to the next secret city state that works closely with the Papal See, again because of its historic Roman roots - The City of London Corporation, the economic driver.
and in addition to its functions as the local authority – analogous to those undertaken by the 32 boroughs that administer the rest of the Greater London region – it takes responsibility for supporting the financial services industry and representing its interests. The corporation’s structure includes the Lord Mayor, the Court of Aldermen, the Court of Common Council, and the Freemen and Livery of the City. For the rich and bankers the City of London is a great tax haven. The term “tax haven” is a bit of a misnomer, because such places aren’t just about tax. What they sell is escape: from the laws, rules and taxes of jurisdictions elsewhere, usually with secrecy as their prime offering. The notion of elsewhere (hence the term “offshore”) is central. The Cayman Islands’ tax and secrecy laws are not designed for the benefit of the 50,000-odd Caymanians, but help wealthy people and corporations, mostly in the US and Europe, get around the rules of their own democratic societies. The outcome is one set of rules for a rich elite Freemasons and another for the rest. The City’s “elsewhere” status in Britain stems from a simple formula: over centuries, sovereigns and governments have sought City loans, and in exchange the City has extracted privileges and freedoms from rules and laws to which the rest of Britain must submit. The City does have a noble tradition of standing up for citizens’ freedoms against despotic sovereigns, but this has morphed into freedom for money. 2,000 years ago the Romans came to Great Britain, killed a bunch of druids, and founded a trading post on the River Thames and named it Londonimium.

Being Romans they got to work doing what Romans do: enforcing laws, increasing trade, building temples, public baths, roads, bridges and a wall to defend their work. And it’s this wall which is why the current City of London exists -- for though the Romans came and the Romans went and kingdoms rose and kingdoms fell, the wall endured protecting the city within. And The City, governing itself and trading with the world, grew rich. A thousand years after the Romans (yet still a thousand years ago) when William the Conqueror came to Great Britain to conqueror everything and begin modern British history he found the City of London, with its sturdy walls more challenging to defeat than farmers on open fields. So he agreed to recognize the rights and privileges City of Londoners were used to in return for the them recognizing him as the new King. Though after the negotiation, William quickly built towers around the City of London which were just as much about protecting William from the locals within as defending against the Vikings from without. Not a little ironic!

This started a thousand-year long tradition whereby Monarchs always reconfirmed that ‘yes’ the City of London is a special, unique place best left to its own business, while simultaneously distrusting it. Many a monarch thought the City of London was too powerful and rich. And one even built a new Capital city nearby, named the City of Westminster, to compete with the City of London and hopefully, suck power and wealth away from it. This was the start of the second London which is most familiar to us. Today this ‘square mile’ is still the financial capital of the world, home to all the major banks and financial institutions that manage the money of the world.

Then to cap it all they create armies and wars as methods to control even punish dissenting nations, the men and women becoming collateral damage! “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Although at odds with each other during the wars of independence the United Kingdom and the United States soon split their differences. The US soon rose in strength and military power with funding from the wealthy elites. These elites also instigated further wars funding both sides to reshape the map of Europe and the Middle East for their benefit. But things did not always go to plan.

The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any state.

of this for the elites was the formation of Israel as a State enabling them to be at the heart of the Middle East once again. It was in fact Lord Rothschild (US’s most wealthy man) who agreed to the Balfour Declaration back in 1948. Why was it him? The answer of course is that everyone was in massive debt to the Rothchilds after an expensive war. The US emerged after the second world war as the new world ‘superpower’, but was then contested by the Soviet Block. This created the nuclear arms race which the Soviet Union ultimately lost because they went bankrupt. Today America has hundreds of military bases and CIA operatives throughout the world and remains at war in the Middle East. These are the complexities of the kingdom of darkness with lots of infighting, but ultimately with one aim. Satan wants to rule a subservient world and drag to hell with him as many helpless souls as he can.

Although still a small percentage of the whole the number of true believers and followers of Christ has grown to millions.
