Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (48 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk under clear skies, I saw: a dog, Venus and a plane! Thank You, Jesus!
This headline, from Technocracy News, got my attention this morning: “Warning: Reality Is Escaping Out the Back Door!”
In the article, Patrick Wood wrote: “I wrote this article for my PatrickWood.Substack.com subscribers recently. After more reflection, this needs to be released to the world as a stark warning: The total collapse of reality may be at hand. We have already witnessed mass formation during the Great Pain of 2020, where large swaths of the world seemingly lost touch with reality. That was just a foretaste of what is about to come.
This is hard to understand, and you might need to read it multiple times. Do it, lest you fall prey to a simulacrum. It’s a big word that is hard to wrap your head around, but one you are not likely to forget. Indeed, you should not forget it!
Collins defines it as: “1) an image; likeness; 2) a vague representation; semblance; 3) a mere pretense; sham.” Cambridge Dictionary says: “something that looks like or represents something else.” Purdue University put it this way: “Something that replaces reality with its representation.”
Now, I don’t know about you, but this made me think again about the coming antichrist and the phrase, “the image of the beast” which, interestingly enough, John used ten times in Revelation (13:14, 15 (3), 14:9, 11; 15:2; 16:2; 19:20; 20:4). So, as I have said, on numerous occasions, to my brothers and sisters in Christ, “stay on the alert” (Mark 13:33, 35, 37) and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes.
And, if you are still not a believer in Jesus, please, don’t put it off for another day; simply agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven! P.S. Thanks for those of you who prayed for me to find work. I have been hired by Goodwill to work part-time at its new store. To God be the glory! Love in Christ, Doug (10/6/23)

ANTICHRIST is an ideological, political, financial, military, millennial system, a BEAST.
The IMAGE OF THE BEAST is the reflection of that political ideological system, another BEAST.
”
¹¹ 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.
¹² 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.
¹³ And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
¹⁴ 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.
¹⁵ 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.
¹⁶ 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:
¹⁷ 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.
¹⁸ 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.”
Revelation 13:11-18
