Here are the reasons I believe we are being led by an evil spiritual realm of wicked beings and not physical men!
This information was taken from history books, newspaper articles, Wikipedia and of course the Bible. The blog you are about to read has been researched, organized, and laid out using information that may be offensive to some readers. These analysis were not put together in judgment, malice or grievance toward any group or individual. Most of this information is esoteric and was intended exclusively as a natural resource to assist the followers of “the way,” in gathering knowledge.
Let’s begin with Daniel Chapter 2
Feet and Toes
Dan 2:41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
Did you know: The word translated as “kingdom” in English is the Hebrew word “malkuth.’ It is said to represent the culmination of spiritual energy, acting as the gateway for divine light to enter the material plane.
The Gate of the gods
Babylon – (Babilim) “Bab” – gate “ilim” – gods; meaning gate of the gods. It is also linked to the Hebrew Babel, associated with confusion (Genesis 11), becoming a symbol of human pride.
Obadiah 1:3-4 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? 4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
A Great Beast shall become a divided nation!
Dan 2:42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
It appears all nations are ruled by these spiritual dominions!
Are all men bound to demons?
In Dan 2:43 it tell us….
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
- Dominions; From the Greek kyriotēs, meaning “lordship” or “dominion,” referring to areas of control or kingdoms.
- Role: Rulers or princes assigned specific territories or domains to govern.
Is this describing a sinful joining of flesh and spirit? Men bound to evil pagan gods? Iron gods literally mingling with clay men?
The Prince of Babylon..
Babylon rose to prominence under physical rulers like, Hammurabi known for his code of laws, and later under the Neo Babylonian Empire, during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II. Babylon became renowned for its architectural achievements, including the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. But, what of it’s spiritual leader? The prince of it’s evil spiritual realm?
The Principality of Babylon…
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
A principality can be a spiritual rank in theology, as in “principalities and powers”. Essentially, it’s a domain governed by a monarch with the title of prince rather than a king, symbolizing supreme rulership over a specific area.
Generally a domain is a specific area of control, expertise or knowledge.
Likewise, the term “powers” also carries somewhat of a dual meaning. In the Bible, “power” is defined primarily in two ways: as divine might and empowerment given to believers, and as spiritual or earthly authorities/entities operating in the unseen or physical realms.
- Principality; From the Greek archē, meaning “first ones,” “rulers,” or “leaders.”
- Role: Often interpreted as leaders or guiding spirits over nations, groups, or institutions, holding a foundational or “root” spiritual identity.
Daniel 2:44 “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people.
The Worship of the Bull Calf
Marduk was worshiped by the Babylonians as the chief god of Babylon and the king of the gods (also worshiped as Jupiter), evolving from a local deity to the supreme god figure in the Mesopotamian pantheon. Known for creating the cosmos and the defeat of the chaos monster Tiamat. He was the patron of justice, healing, and magic for the Babylonians. He was often called Bel (Lord) and was central to the Enuma Elish; the Babylonian creation epic.
Marduk was commonly called Bēl (lord) in the First Millennium BCE. The etymology for the name Marduk is generally understood to be derived from amar-utu-(a)k, meaning “bull-calf of Utu”.
Marduk later became Zeus to the Greeks and Jupiter to the Romans.
Ancient Greeks universally viewed Zeus as the king of the gods. As the supreme ruler of the cosmos, they believed he maintained universal order, enforced justice, and commanded the sky and weather. He presided over Mount Olympus and was highly revered across the Greek world.
Later Jupiter, who was previously worshiped as Zeus, and even earlier Marduk to the Babylonians, became the supreme deity of the Roman pantheon, who ruled the heavens and was the god of light, thunder, and storms. He was also known as Jupiter Optimus Maximus, meaning “the best and greatest,” and served as the chief protector of the Roman state, along with its laws, and its armies.
In Revelation 17 a new apocalyptic Babylon is revealed; Babylon, “the Great,” An end time beast nation who would emerge from the abyss, along with Ecclesiastical Babylon, who would share in the spiritual destruction of mankind.
How Marduk combined the power of Saturn and Jupiter to reign supreme in the end times!
In some late Babylonian texts, Saturn is referenced as the “Sun of Night,” or the “Star of Shamash an ancient Sumerian god.” Since Marduk’s name (Amar-Utu) means “Bull-Calf of the Sun,” (which was also the Egyptian name for Horus) there is a shared solar vocabulary.
Did you know: in the past people worshiped Saturn as the ancient sun. They believed it was the true power behind the sun’s ability to shine. They even referred to it as the “hidden,” revealing it to be “the hidden sun.”
Saturn was also called Kayamanu (“the Steady One”). Both Jupiter and Saturn have slow, predictable cycles compared to Mars or Mercury, so they were both viewed as “steady” or “reliable” omens for the state.
“The Great”
“Great,” in Hebrew, Gadol, is derived from the root verb gadal, meaning “to grow,” become great, “magnify,” signifying greatness in size, importance, age, or intensity, and often used for God or revered figures.
Gadol #1419 – great, large, mighty, or important.
In Greek, “great” is “megas,” meaning large, mighty, or significant. Great in magnitude and extent!
Today in America Donald Trump leads a battle against the world using this very same great or MEGA trope; MEGA meaning “Make America Great Again”! This has to be more then just a coincidence, it appears to be more like prophetic confirmation!
The Origins of a “Great” Empire!
Did you know: Vikings and Anglo-Saxons can trace their cultures back to a similar starting point – both began as Germanic peoples – the difference, the Anglo-Saxons are now Christians, wearing this title as their badge of honor, while Vikings continued to engage in Norse mythology; Odin, Thor, and so on.
The Saxons came from the North Sea coastal areas of modern-day Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. Before the fifth century CE, the Romans used the word Saxon for pirates and bands of Germanic marauders from the north.
The Red Horsemen of Revelation 6
- 6:3-4 The Lamb opens the second seal, and a red horse is released. Its rider brandishes a large sword. This horseman is often interpreted as a mere representation of war or conflict, but the Greek word that was translated as the color red, the one most people associate with blood, was actually translated from the Greek word “pyro,” describing “fire!” This indicates tribulation, suffering, and excruciating pain for any victim who crosses paths with this ruthless nation, represented by this horse and rider.
The English word, sword, comes from the Greek, Makhaira. It describes a large dagger with a curved edge, often used in sacrifice. And, speaking of knives by the way, another interesting little tidbit of information; the word “seax” (a Norse word) is also a low key description of knife. It became the epithet of an ancient, Germanic tribe, one who became the second half of the hyphenated duo, known as the Anglo-Saxons. The “Saxons,” were notorious for wielding their blades, or daggers so proficiently, they were known as warriors with knives, (hence the name Saxon) which literally means, “warriors with knives.” In fact they were so passionate about their blades, they deemed them, their companions.
In essence their name or description, “the Saxons,” (Seaxe) later became the Kingdom of Essex which was founded by King Aescwine in 527CE. The genealogy of the kings of Essex (England) placed Saxnot, as their warrior god, during its apex. He became the German god of Iron, Steel and war.
The British Empire, “The Great!”
In the past, the British Empire was the largest empire in history, ruling territories across every continent. From the 16th to the 20th centuries, and peaking in the early 20th century when it covered a quarter of the Earth’s landmass; and equally governing over a quarter of it’s population.
Do you, Remember how the ancient Babylonians were notorious for abducting the ancient Yehudim, forcing them into slavery and deporting them from their homes into a strange land far away?
Well, during the early 16th century, the Yehudim (West African) residents were scattered even further throughout the world as a result of The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, orchestrated by European Christians (Who were revealed in the Book of Daniel as the 4th Beast). “Babylon; the Great,” the British Empire along with the remaining seven horns of the beast, successfully enrolled the entire world into an apathetic culture of human exploitation for the sake of wealth. Multiple countries around the world indulged not only in destroying an entire nation but, in the detestable practice of trafficking millions of human souls (the selling of flesh and blood for profit).
Ruling A Fourth Of The World!!
The British Empire (1583-1997) At one time dominated a quarter of the world’s landmass and population. Through colonialism and slavery its global reach included places such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, parts of South America, Hong Kong, much of India, and Egypt. In Africa; South Africa, Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Sierra Leone, northwestern Somalia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Nigeria, Ghana, and Malawi, over 30% of the continent. Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Jamaica, Rhodesia, Trinidad, the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, the Virgin Islands, British Guiana, the Falkland Islands, Burma (or Myanmar), and at one time even the United States of America, who became its state successor.
Current Babylon, “The Great,” not only brought GOD’s people into captivity. It not only combined holy things with unholy things and sacred things with idolatrous things. Even worse, it spread all of this abominable belief and practice throughout the world, cementing it into social norms.
Did you know: Benjamin Disraeli called London ‘a modern day Babylon’ in his novel “Tancred” a famous 19th-century Victorian novel published in 1847. The full title is Tancred; or, The New Crusade.
Is the Oath of Allegiance Biblically approved?
Not according to GOD!
Matthew 5:33-35 You have heard that it was said to those of old, “You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the LORD what you have sworn.” 34) But do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, it is the Throne of GOD,
or by the earth, it is HIS footstool, Yerushalayim, for it is the city of the great King.
A pledge to a country, like the United States or the United Kingdom, means making a solemn promise (a vow) of loyalty, faithfulness, and support to that nation, its governing principles and it’s principalities. It symbolizes a solemn commitment, no different then vows taken in marriage. You must confess your commitment to their ideals and principles. You must pledge allegiance to their banner.
But, what exactly is a vow?
A vow is a solemn, and serious promise or pledge, often made to a deity or another person, committing oneself to a specific action, service, or way of life, carrying much more weight than a casual promise and implying deep personal commitment, as seen in marriage vows, a religious vow, or a vow of poverty or chastity.
So, this also includes an Oath!
an oath is a solemn promise, often invoking a divine witness, regarding one’s future action or behavior. Again Matthew 5:33-35
Spiritual war is all around us!
the Prince of the Persian Empire? Was he a man?
The “Prince of Persia” was a powerful, adversarial spirit mentioned in Daniel 10:13, who opposed the angelic messenger sent to deliver a message to the prophet Daniel for 21 days, requiring the help of the Archangel Michael to overcome him. This illustrates how there is spiritual warfare ruling the outer realms, and manipulating powerful events behind earthly kingdoms. This figure seem to represent a spiritual being governing the Persian kingdom.
Daniel 10:13 The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia,
It would appear, according to scripture, spiritual princes, referred to powerful angelic beings, who influence nations and realms.
Michael was seen as the Chief Prince, the Prince of GOD’s people, mentioned in Daniel, Chapter 10 verse 21 But I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth: there is none who contends by my side against these except Michael, your prince.
The god of this world
2nd Corinthians 4: They do not come to trust because the god of the ‘olam hazeh (this world) has blinded their minds, in order to prevent them from seeing the light shining from the Good News about the glory of the Messiah, who is the image of God.
In the book of Ephesians, it say’s that Satan is “the prince of the powers of the air.”
Scripture also tells us that YEHOSHUA haMOSHIACH is the ultimate Prince and Savior. (Acts 5:31)
Michael The Arch Angel
Daniel 12:1-3 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Michael the Chief of Heavens Armies!
Revelation 12:7-8 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.
Hebrews 1:6 when GOD Almighty created the Angels He said, “Let all GOD’s angels worship him.” All Angels, including Michael are to worship GOD’s Son, YEHOSHUA.
It Is Coming Soon!!
2nd Thessalonians 2:3-12
3 Let no one deceive you in any way, for the Day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the one destined to be destroyed. 4 He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits in the Temple of God, proclaiming himself that he is God.
5 Don’t you remember that when I was still with you I was telling you these things? 6 And you know what now holds back, for him to be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already operating; only there is one who holds back just now, until he is taken out of the way. 8 Then the lawless one will be revealed. The Lord Yeshua will slay him with the breath of His mouth and wipe him out with the appearance of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is connected to the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, 10 and with every kind of wicked deception toward those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth so as to be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a delusional force, to lead them to believe what is false, 12 so that they may be judged—all those who did not believe the truth but delighted in wickedness.
- The Lawless One: This refers to the final, climactic figure of evil (often called the Antichrist) But in actuality is the Anti- Messiah. One who completely opposes God’s Ten Commandment laws and sets himself up as a rival to God.
- Power, Signs, and False Wonders: Satan will give this figure the ability to perform seemingly miraculous feats. Historically and theologically, these are often described as “counterfeit miracles” or “lying wonders” because they are tricks and illusions meant to deceive people.
Watch, measure and discern, but do not Judge!
Jude 1:9 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!
In these uncertain times, we must not loose sight of our path, “the Way.” No one is exempt from GOD’s WILL, and if their actions, whether appearing good or bad, are a result of GOD’s indelible Will, then it is slander if we speak against that action.
According to New Defenders Study Bible Notes….
This fascinating incident is never mentioned elsewhere in Scripture; in fact, the burial place of Moses is said to be known only to the Lord (Deuteronomy 34:6). However, a pseudepigraphical work called The Assumption of Moses, preserved now only as a fragment, seems to have recorded the story, and Jude may either have obtained it from that source or else have received it by direct revelation. In either case, its inclusion in Jude’s inspired epistle is enough to confirm its actual occurrence. Satan evidently wanted the body of Moses for some purpose involving deception of God’s people, hoping perhaps to lead them to doubt God again or even to lapse back into idolatry, worshiping Moses’ body or some idol spirit professing to be Moses. No one knows, but in any case God would not allow it, and He Himself buried the body of Moses in a secret grave.
Watch and pray!
Interesting when we evaluate this princely realm from a planetary level, both Saturn and Jupiter were used to represent, “the King,” in different ways – Jupiter representing his current power and Saturn representing the “old king” or the steady foundations of the state.
“E Pluribus Unum”
“Out of many, one”
Prominently featured on the Great Seal and U.S. currency since the late 1700’s, It represents the ideal of unity and a shared identity forged from a variety of idolatrous origins, and cultures, reflecting the illusion of democratic principles.
E Pluribus Unum was the de facto national motto of the United States for 174 years until it was replaced in 1956 by, “In God we Trust,” during the Cold War.
America, United States
The name America comes from the Latinized name of the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci, who discovered the lands first acknowledged by Columbus as a “New World,” not Asia. German mapmaker Martin Waldseemüller first applied the feminine form, “America,” to the continents in 1507, honoring Vespucci.
Interestingly the name “Amer” or “Amir, “mean “Prince,” in Hebrew and Aramaic, and in Greek, the word, “ica,” means light. Combined they reflect the implication, “Prince of Light!”
The name itself, derived from “Amerigo,” which ultimately links to Germanic roots meaning “home ruler” or…
“ruler of the world!”
The reigning principalities who rule America?
Jupiter Libertas: The Aspect of the King, is an epithet (a specific title or “aspect”) of Jupiter, The Roman King of the gods. In Roman practice, major deities were often given titles to highlight a specific power they held. For them Jupiter acts specifically as the guarantor of political liberty and the protector of freedom.
Last but not least, Powers!
- Spiritual/Demonic Entities: The most common understanding is that “powers” are evil spiritual beings (demons, fallen angels) that operate in the “heavenly realms” (Colossians 1:16) to influence human affairs, control nations, and oppose God’s work.
- Territorial Spirits: These are seen as specific demons assigned to rule over geographical areas, nations, or social structures, influencing their cultures and governance.
- Systems & Institutions (Spiritualized): “Powers” can also represent the corrupt systems, and ideologies like nationalism, capitalism, and communism. The institutions, and government economies” that are shaped and controlled by these evil spirits.
Colossians 1:16 For in HIM all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through HIM and for HIM.
