The Precarious Banking System and the New World Order

In 2017 Joseph Huber wrote Sovereign Money in which he described our current electronic money system as a system of two separate loops that were interconnected by commercial banks. In the first system, the private sector, small, commercial, industrial businesses, along with insurance companies and hedge funds occupy one system, where money is created and issued and loaned out by approximately 4300 commercial banks and private banks. (1)  Something like this:


In the second system, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan, US Government, Treasury, commercial banks along with the Federal Reserve occupy the second loop or the Wholesale sector. In this loop, the commercial banks are customers of the Federal Reserve. They do not issue money in this loop, but borrow and transact with the Federal Reserve, a private, non-governmental institution. (2)


The two systems have been largely independent, until September 11, 2019 when Federal money was injected into the private loop due to the pre-pandemic financial crisis. (3) At that point, globalist conversations proposed and initiated implementation of the Central Bank Digital Currency system that would look something like this, however our “national” bank would be subject to an international Central Bank:


To all who have been paying attention, especially in the latest developments of the 2023 Banking Crisis, none of this is news. The globalists continue marching towards their goals and have communicated the following intentions for the CBDC economy:


  • There will be one central bank to which all global citizens will belong, including the currently unbanked. (One scenario may be that countries are left with a few branches of a “national” bank that “bank” at the international central bank.(4)


  • Financial transparency and scrutiny on the level of the individual will be the new reality.(5)


  • Markets prefer totalitarian governments and democracy is messy.(6)


  • Total control will be exercised over financial affairs of nation-states.(7)


  • Cryptocurrency (unless it belongs to the FedNow (8) program) appears it will continue to be swept into the authoritarian dragnet as well, at least in the US.(9)


Certainties in the looming new CBDC world include:


  • Totalitarian control over every aspect of life to the small minutiae, including a record of all personal movements and monitoring of all purchases and transactions.


  • Punishment of dissenters through financial repercussions and controls, including limits or stops on buying and selling and freezing bank accounts, and resultant control over protest and dissemination of “misinformation” and online dialogue.


  • Further narrowing of economic competition as smaller businesses are squeezed out in favor of larger commercial hubs, such as Amazon and Walmart.


  • Increased system vulnerabilities to cyber attacks and power outages.


  • Increased ability of powerful nations to coerce and control weaker nations through seizure of digital assets and limits of commercial participation using tariffs and sanctions


  • Negative interest rates will affect the individual, who will be “disincentivized” from saving because money will lose purchasing power.


  • Greater power for monitoring tax compliance with resultant immediate penalties.


  • Transferring “surplus” from account holders for national or other debt.



The foregoing is not an exhaustive list. It is apparent that freedom of speech, religion, protest, public dialogue and dissent are going to be starved of oxygen until they whither and collapse. The existent buffers of cash transactions, privacy and private sector commercial banks is disintegrating. Payment systems like the new Amazon One, (8) when combined with a central bank digital currency and digital ID’s, spell the end of freedom in the west. (9)


For all of those watching, the foregoing means your options as a free thinking, and free speaking person are dwindling. This raises the question of what you should do.


First of all, you ought to be making determined and decisive steps to get out of the city. (10) Cities will become centers of mass control and authoritarianism, and enormous human suffering.(11) Cities do not produce anything except for hungry and violent people, and of course surveillance cameras, checkpoints and goons with tear gas and machine guns.


Second, you ought to be taking steps to grow your own garden, because the food supply is not only compromised through the meddling and perversions of Big Agra, but it will be just as impacted by the new digital reality as everything else. Independence for a little while longer means the ability to grow your own food, obtain and purify your own water, and generate your own electricity. Learn to treat ailments with simple but effective natural remedies.


Thirdly, if you believe in the Gospel commission and the sharing of the last warnings in the Scriptures to a dying world, take steps to support missions now. One day in the perhaps not too distant future, your ability to use the wealth that you have accumulated will be gone. Revelation 13 is clear – those who refuse the mark of the first beast of Revelation 13 will be severed from the commercial system. When this happens, the money that you have saved will be useless.


Those who are tempted to capitulate and receive the mark must remember that those who do so will be able to buy and sell for a short while, until the plagues begin to fall and destroy houses, lands, and people who received the mark by the unnumbered millions – Revelation 14:9-11; Revelation 16:2; Revelation 18:4. It is better to stand for liberty, and suffer with the oppressed people of God, than to bend the knee and receive the mark.



There is much more to say, but for now let us conclude with a short story.


Eric B Hare, the great missionary, once wrote an account of having to close his mission due to war, and the great human divide that resulted.



During World War II, I was in Rangoon, Burma, when the merchants closed their shops and dismissed their tired clerks. I saw them fleeing for their lives. I saw the banks close their doors, and the bankers flee for their lives. I saw the post office close, and the post office workers flee for their lives. I was in Rangoon when doctors and nurses put their weak, sick patients out on the sidewalks, and then fled for their lives. The Japanese army was within 75 miles of the city, and our last supply lines had been cut. At the zoo, the keepers shot the lions and tigers to keep them from starving to death, then they fled for their lives. At the leper and insane asylums, the warders opened the doors, then fled for their lives. And at the jail, just three miles from our mission station, the prison doors were opened, and 3,000 criminals came walking into town, while the keepers and the policemen fled for their lives. I was there. I saw it. I saw the last boat leave for India. I saw the last train leave the depot.

And I am going to tell you what happened, for in Rangoon God gave me a preview of the end of the world and the day of judgment.


Just two days before we escaped, I was packing away some of our most valuable articles when a well-to-do woman came into the mission headquarters and asked for Mr. Meleen, the mission superintendent. Mr. Meleen came out, and though I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I couldn't help overhearing the conversation.


"O Mr. Meleen, I have to go, and I can't take anything with me except a little suitcase and a rug for the journey," the woman said. "You may not know me, but I know you. I live in that grand home just a few blocks away where the coconut palms and the big mango trees are, and now I have to go and leave my lovely home behind. I hate to think of the thieves breaking in to steal and loot and plunder. Won't your mission people go over and take all my lovely furniture? Take my beds and my tables and my chairs and my beautiful rugs. I will feel so much happier if I know you mission people can use them."


And I heard Mr. Meleen say, "It is too late now. We are all packed up. We will be leaving any moment ourselves. We have been waiting to evacuate our church members, and when they are out we will be going too, with only a suitcase each. If we could have had some of those things three months ago when we were outfitting our clinic, we could have used every bed and chair and table. But now it is too late, too late!"


I saw the tears come to that poor woman's eyes. "Too late?" she groaned, as if she couldn't believe it. "You are going, too?" As she turned to leave, she threw her shawl over her face to hide her grief, and from her lips came the heartbreaking cry, "Oh, how I wish!”" Then emotion choked her words, but I knew what she wished. Yes, I knew.


I tried to remember if that well-to-do woman, just two blocks away, had ever helped out in the clinic program or the Ingathering program. I couldn't think of a single occasion when that poor rich woman did anything for humanity. Now it was too late and she had to leave everything behind, and oh, how she wished. (12)




While there is time to choose, choose wisely. The Bible clearly describes what is going to happen to the world in the time leading up to the second coming of Christ, and it is not a utopian millennium. A time of trouble is coming such as never was (Daniel 12:1), and there will be blood and fire and sorrow before the great and terrible day of the Lord – Joel 2:11.


While the day of mercy lingers, “seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near” – Isaiah 55:6. Reader, He is calling and searching for you today. “Today is the day of salvation” – 2 Cor 6:2.


Jesus left heaven and came to this wretched earth and died for you. He took your sins, and mine, on Himself. He calls to you to repent and believe the Gospel, to ask Him into your heart and make you a new person by His grace and strength. Today, right now, you can be free of guilt and shame, and worry and at peace with God through Jesus Christ. All who answer His call and forsake their sins will find salvation and mercy, joy and rest. And instead of fear when He returns, you will have peace, and will be able to say with the faithful, “This is our God. We have waited for Him and He will save us” – Isaiah 25:9.



Won’t you answer Him now?

(7) Custodia Bank of Wyoming and Signature Bank are two examples. The Federal Reserve, FDIC and Office of the Comptroller Control have illegally denied Custodia Bank, a cryptocurrency bank, a seat at the Federal Reserve table; a lawsuit is pending. This despite Custodia making 100% of customer deposits available 100% of the time, otherwise known as full reserve banking.

Signature Bank, was one of the three initial banks that precipitated our current crisis and was supposedly shutdown due to insolvency. Its board declared that it was not insolvent and its shutdown was likely due to the cryptocurrency transactions it facilitated for New York City, particularly with respect to real estate.

In both cases, the financial opacity for the NWO was intolerable. Lack of ability to scrutinize transactions on the granular level caused the demise of these banks.

Economic developments globally are a 24-hour burning signpost which tell us that we are nearing the events described in chapter 13 of the book of Revelation. Financial Instability. Out of control national debt. Central Bank Digital Currency. Digital ID. Artificial Intelligence. Facial recognition. Palm scanning and biometric data as a means of payment. Social credit scores. Apple Pay. Never in earth’s history has the means to control all buying and selling been so available to totalitarian abuse. Revelation 13 declares that the Lamb-Like Beast will coerce and compel the world’s governments to prevent buying or selling if he or she does not have the mark. That means restrictions on commerce, transportation and mobility, speech, internet usage – everything. There will be no exemptions. What Is The Mark of the Beast? The “mark of the beast” is the mark of the authority of the leopard-like beast of Revelation 13. We do not have to guess who the leopard-like beast is. The leopard-like beast in Revelation 13 is the papal power. i Similarly, we do not have to guess what the mark of the authority of the papacy is.The Catholic Record declares that “Sunday is our mark of authority …. The church is above the Bible, and this transference of sabbath observance is proof of that fact.” ii The Catholic Encyclopedia states: Sunday was the first day of the week according to the Jewish method of reckoning but for Christians it began to take the place of the Jewish Sabbath … as the day set apart for the public and solemn worship of God. … [D]uring the first three centuries practice and tradition had consecrated the Sunday to the public worship of God by the hearing of the Mass and the resting from work. With the opening of the fourth century positive legislation, both ecclesiastical and civil, began to make these duties more definite.” iii Pope Benedict stated that “Sunday is the day of the Lord and of man, a day which everyone must be able to be free — free for the family and free for God”, and that “by defending Sunday, one defends human freedom.” iv Pope Francis declared that, “Sunday is the Lord’s Day. Let us find time to be with him.” v The Bible, however, plainly declares “that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God”. vi The papacy is a pretender to the authority of the God of the universe and it has set itself against the Word of God. According to Scripture, the Lamb-Like Beast will compel (or otherwise convince) the world to worship the papacy by compelling the world to receive the mark of papal authority, Sunday, as a condition of buying or selling. vii This world fell when our first parents made a conscious decision to believe the serpent’s lies. The test at the beginning was simple: a choice between the fruit of two trees. One led to life and immortality, the other to shame and death. Adam sold this world into slavery. And Christ died to buy it back. viii Humanity is rapidly coming to the final point where all will decide for themselves. You, Reader, will decide for yourself. We will all be faced with a test akin to that of our first parents. Same God. Same deceitful serpent. And a choice. Once per month this website will provide a synopsis of recent global events which have transpired which show the inexorable march of mankind toward the test of the mark of the beast. Stay tuned for February’s report. ----------------------------------- i https://bibleask.org/who-did-the-reformers-identify-as-the-antichrist/ ii The Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Sept. 1, 1923 iii https://www.catholic.com/encyclopedia/sunday iv https://www.catholicsun.org/2012/06/06/sundays-must-be-a-day-of-rest-dedicated-to-god-family-pope-says/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CSunday%20is%20the%20day%20of%20the%20Lord,%E2%80%94%20By%20Carol%20Glatz%2C%20Catholic%20News%20Service . v https://x.com/Pontifex/status/553838709812908033 vi Exodus 20:8-11 vii Revelation 13:11-18 viii Romans 5:6-21

Christians are not immune to becoming entrenched politically and allowing a partisan mindset to obscure the spiritual and prophetic significance of events taking place around them. If there were any doubt on this point, the global Covid pandemic provides many examples of Christians doing this very thing. Christians ought to have been the last people fooled by global lockdowns and digital passports during Covid. Anyone with a proper working familiarity with the Bible knows that it tells us the signs that the world will end. We are instructed in the most solemn terms to discern the signs of the times. Jesus Himself stated, “Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching : verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them” – Luke 12:37. Also see Luke 21:34-36, Matthew 24. Amongst the many other prophecies of this sort interspersed throughout Scripture, there are two main books which speak extensively on prophecy and the end of the world. Those books are the books of Daniel and the Revelation. In both there are specific revelations from God regarding end time events. The book of Revelation begins with the statement that this is the “revelation of Jesus Christ” to the Apostle John regarding the end of the world – see Revelation 1:1. Revelation 13 contains the prophecy of the “mark of the beast”, and describes it as a condition imposed on every person on earth by civil authorities who operate under the directions and influence of the “Lamb-Like Beast”. The mark of the beast, simply put, is a test for participation in society – it is a condition imposed by governments which completely restricts an individual from buying or selling if he or she does not have the mark. That means restrictions on commerce, transportation and mobility, speech, internet usage – everything. If you think that sounds a lot like central bank digital currencies, digital passports, a cashless society, and the profound restrictions on personal freedom and movement that arose over the course of nearly four years, you’d be right. The global events we have witnessed are surely a harbinger of things to come. The system is being built before our very eyes. The Bible emphasises that no one on the earth will be immune from the test of the mark of the beast, and in case there was any doubt, Revelation emphasises that it applies to “ all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond ” – Revelation 13:16. Contrary to what the “once saved always saved” crowd says, the mark of the beast test is determinative of the salvation of the people at the end of the world. The class that refuses the mark is persecuted and ordered to be put to death by civil powers – Revelation 13:15, but triumphs in the end – Revelation 15:2. They get “the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name”. The class that takes the mark can buy and sell for a short time, but then it receives the plagues mentioned in Revelation 16, and is thrown into the Lake of Fire with the devil and his angels – Revelation 14:9-11; 19:20. Most Christians who study their Bibles to some extent, as opposed to the vast number of professed Christians who do not, have some general awareness of these prophecies. And yet during Covid, there were millions upon millions of Christians who failed to recognize that near-global forced lockdowns, vaccine passports, restrictions on cash, segregated societies etc. were a prophesied move in the direction the events described in Revelation 13. Those who failed to recognize the prophetic implications can be generally subdivided into two classes. One group of Christians, as stated, were oblivious to the prophetic significance because they simply do not read their Bibles, or only read them cursorily. These people have essentially obtained all of their understanding of the Bible, such as it is, from their pastor or priest. They fail to inquire of the Word of God themselves. While this nominal and uninformed type of Christianity is still labeled by the world as “Christianity”, this is illusive because Christians are instructed to study and watch - for example, see Mark 13:35-37. i Christ never instructed His followers to be ignorant and uninformed, to bow to public pressure on matters of conscience, or to receive their information from their equally ignorant and uninformed pastors or priests. The other group of Christians in this category, however, failed to recognize the prophetic significance of the events around them even though they read the Bible to some greater or lesser extent. A large number in this class of persons, it can safely be said, often missed the prophetic significance of global lockdowns and economic restrictions because of their political allegiance to left wing ideology and/or parties. Since it was primarily their tribe which imposed lockdowns and vaccine passports, etc., these Christians often proved incapable of putting sufficient distance between their party’s positions and their obligation to uphold and align themselves with Christian principles which have superior claims, such as liberty of conscience, the right to bodily autonomy, and freedom of speech. When governments around the world began to violate the right of free speech, these Christians sided with the state. When Christian pastors were being arrested for having a Bible study or a church service, these Christians sided with the state. When the governments told their citizens they had to have injections from Pfizer or Moderna or Astra Zeneca, these Christians sided with the state. They were unable to discern that what was taking place all around them was in fact an obvious advance toward the events of Revelation 13. To underscore the depth of their blindness, many in this class are so deluded that they still think that coercing billions of people to take the useless and dangerous Pfizer shot, and locking them away from society if they refused, was a good idea. We could generally summarize all the points made so far thusly: in America, if a Christian person was a member of Team Donkey, they were much more likely to rationalize oppression because it was Team Donkey that was doing the oppressing. An observer might reasonably conclude from this, therefore, that a Christian person could avoid this spiritual blindness by simply not being a member of the Donkey Party. And of course, that would be a good idea for further reasons we will come to momentarily. But it turns out the phenomenon is not exclusive to only to Team Donkey. It can be readily proven, in fact, that Christians who are on Team Donkey or Team Elephant both have a similar problem applying Bible principles objectively to a given fact scenario which touches on Revelation 13. In case there were any doubt of this, Providence has now determined to demonstrate the point for the world to see by way of observation of those Christians who are members of Team Elephant. Observation supports the proposition that Christians on Team Elephant experience a similar cognizance-impairing bias. When the Lamb-Like Beast imposes and threatens to impose aggressive global tariffs, i or threatens land seizures (Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal, and now the Gaza Strip) ii , Christians on Team Elephant tend to ignore it. When the Lamb-Like Beast makes public pronouncements from the Executive Branch that society needs to return to God, or that God’s plan for America will be fulfilled “sooner rather than later”, iii they are silent. Most are not inclined to defend the separation of church and state or the First Amendment of the Constitution. When the very co-author of Project 2025, which outlines plans for the state to legislate a national Sunday law, becomes part of the White House Cabinet, they are silent. iv Sunday legislation is undoubtedly the prophesied mark of the beast, the enforcement of the day of the Roman Papacy which boasts of its claimed change of the law of God as the special “mark” of its authority. v But many Christians, even those from the Seventh-day Adventist and Seventh-day Baptist denominations, are quiet. The Bible prophesies that the Lamb-Like Beast will make use of coercion as a mechanism to persuade the nations to impose the mark of the beast. Notice the language in Revelation 13:14 and 16: “ saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by the sword, and did live”, and, “ he causes all, both small and great” etc, to “receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads”. Tariffs are a tool of coercion. America has the greatest economic clout on the planet, and prophecy indicates that it will utilize its leverage to compel nations to impose the mark. We know the nations of the world will fall into line. vi We appear to have come to an inflection point in the timeline of Bible prophecy, and ought to know that the imposition of the mark is on the near horizon. When the leader of the Lamb-Like Beast boastfully claims that it has the nations of the world “over a barrel” economically, vii watch out. Around the world, plans to control buying, selling, speech and movement are being implemented in phases using digital IDs and artificial intelligence. Team Elephant has committed to funding AI in America to the tune of $500 billion dollars. viii There is a proposal to replace most Federal employees with machines. ix But there is little comment by Christians, and can there be any doubt their political allegiances are causing this silence? The call in Revelation 18:4 to “Come out of her my people” applies not only to the apostate churches, but in principle applies to earthly party allegiances. It includes a separation from human tribalism. Therefore, come out of Team Donkey, and come out of Team Elephant, and be free of partisan loyalties because both of them will support the taking of the mark, and both of them will receive the plagues, and both of them will be thrown into the lake of fire. And if you are in them still, so will you. According to the Apostle Paul, Christians ought to stand as registered independents with respect to political allegiances. God calls His followers “citizens with the saints” – a group who is called out and who’s allegiance is to heaven first, not second. They are of the “household of God”, not Team Donkey or Team Elephant. Speaking of those who had gone before, Paul writes: Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. Heb 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. Heb 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. This world is not our home. We have a city. We have a country. Let us stand as independents, judging righteously and not corrupted with partisanship. Let us watch faithfully and impartially, and weigh each issue against the inerrant standard of the Word of God. For we seek a city also, “Whose Builder and Maker is God” – Hebrews 11:10. ____________________ i https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/world/brics-is-dead-donald-trump-reiterates-100-pc-tariff-threat-on-brics-nations/ ii https://allisrael.com/shock-proposal-trump-tells-netanyahu-us-is-going-to-take-over-gaza-pacify-rebuild-and-run-it iii https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-christian-bias-attorney-general-b2693563.html iv https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24088042-project-2025s-mandate-for-leadership-the-conservative-promise/?q=Sabbath&mode=document#document/p621 – see page 589. https://apnews.com/article/trump-russell-vought-confirmation-budget-project-2025-7d1c476694176876256e95cecbd49231 - Russ Vought, co-author Project 2025 confirmed. v “Sunday is our mark of authority ….

Witches, Science and Idols: The Many Faces of the Occult in Our World Today The Bible plainly declares that witchcraft, spellcasting, and attempting to communicate with the dead are an abomination. When God drove the pagan nations out of the land of Caanan so that ancient Israel could take the land the Lord had promised to Abraham, He gave unambiguous instruction to His people: When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee , thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations . 10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits , or a wizard , or a necromancer . 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. 14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do. i God absolutely prohibits witchcraft and necromancy (attempting to communicate with the dead). What else did God prohibit that the pagan nations were doing? The Lord declares in His Ten Commandments that idol worship is a sin. The second commandments states, in part: Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image , or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them . Yes, you heard that correctly. God prohibits spell casting, witchcraft and trying to talk to the dead, just like He prohibits worshiping statues of Buddha or Mary. Israel ignored God’s warnings, and God sent the judgments of heaven against them. The Assyrians, Babylonians, and Romans repeatedly invaded and destroyed their cities. They were starved, deported or killed, and their temple was destroyed, razed to the ground not once, but twice. The western world is repeating the sins of ancient of Israel. Today, the occult is everywhere in our society. Hollywood relentlessly promotes it to the masses. It’s in movies and its on TV. It’s on Netflix and Disney Plus. It is shamelessly marketed to children. It’s on Tik Tok and Instagram, where millions of people each day watch videos on spell casting, hexes, tarot cards and palm reading. ii There are witch influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers online. iii “We’re everywhere”, bragged a 36-year-old witch to a news reporter in Australia. iv "Summoning demons has never been so fun!", declares a popular children’s book. v The word “occult” comes from the Latin occultus, meaning secret or hidden . Satan, the rebel angel who was cast out of heaven and “deceives the whole earth”, vi promised Eve hidden knowledge. That is how death and suffering entered out world. You can read about it in Genesis chapter 3. You may not have realized that occult practices are no different in God’s eyes than the idol worship of false religions. For one thing, attempting to talk to the dead using a séance is no different than attempting to talk to Mary, who is also dead. Both are necromancy, forbidden occult practices. It is just that one uses mediums and Ouija boards, and the other uses images and cathedrals. But even if Mary were alive, which she is not, the Bible states clearly that it is a sin to make an image of anyone, or anything, whether in heaven or in earth, and bow down to it, or worship it. But what does this have to do with science, you ask. “The enlightened person is opposed to such superstition”, you may say. “I don’t believe in witches or ferries, and I don’t believe in God. I am a scientist.” But Satan is clever, and scientists are not immune to the temptation of supposedly hidden knowledge. Alfred Russel Wallace, co-developer with Charles Darwin of the theory of natural selection, was a spiritualist, and saw “spiritualism as a legitimate domain of scientific enquiry. vii Pierre Curie, physicist and husband of Marie Curie, often consulted a medium and believed in both her abilities and in the underlying claims of a spiritual realm containing entities. Wolfgang Ernst Pauli, pioneer of quantum physics, believed that quantum physics would return spiritualism to the world that was once ruled by atheistic paradigms. viii That’s interesting, considering the emerging promise of quantum artificial intelligence and a coming singularity. ix Most people do not realize that famous inventers Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison were both involved in spiritualism. Tesla built a device to communicate with the dead, and spent years listening to recordings of what he believed to be the spirits of the departed. Tesla was scared but fascinated by what he heard. “My first observations positively terrified me”, he said, “as there was present in them something mysterious, not to say supernatural, and I was alone in my laboratory at night.” x “The sounds I am listening to every night at first appear to be human voices conversing back and forth in a language I cannot understand.” xi Tesla filed a patent for the device, which he called a “Spirit Radio”. Today, people are building the device using plans posted on the internet, and using artificial intelligence to inform them of what “the dead” are supposedly saying. Like Tesla, they say that the recordings are disturbing, and listening to them can lead to mental deterioration. xii Make no mistake, Tesla was involved in the occult. His device to listen to the voices that he thought were the dead is as prohibited by the Bible as going to speak to a clairvoyant or a medium. Satan simply substituted so-called science and technology for the human medium, and repackaged the deception. The Bible states that the dead are dead – “the dead don’t know anything”. xiii Their thoughts have perished. Don’t attempt to speak to them, God warns. You’ll be listening to devils xiv – the fallen angels who were cast out of heaven and who deceive the whole world. The rise of the occult in our day is yet another sign that the end of all things is at hand. Don’t be deceived, friends. Jesus is coming again, and before He does, the Bible says that there will be a great “falling away.” xv People will be seduced by the occult and false religion. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s spell casting or so-called “science” that brings you into the occult, Satan would be happy with either. The Bible is our safeguard. The dead are dead. Do not be deceived. ----------------------------------- i Deuteronomy 18:10-14 ii https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-63403467 iii https://qz.com/quartzy/1411909/the-explosive-growth-of-witches-wiccans-and-pagans-in-the-us ; https://influencers.feedspot.com/witch_instagram_influencers/ iv https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/modernday-witchcraft-is-on-the-rise-in-australia-as-support-for-organised-religion-plummets/news-story/ccbc9bbcbc05ffd8acd8c5ab3f780f38 v https://www.newsweek.com/satan-getting-hot-hell-american-pop-culture-1790669 vi Revelation 12:9 vii https://www.cell.com/current-biology/p Deudf/S0960-9822(13)01317-1.pdf viii https://medium.com/paul-austin-murphys-essays-on-philosophy/the-weird-case-of-wolfgang-pauli-hardcore-positivist-and-mystic-041551d67dde ix The “singularity” is a tech industry term refering to their long-expected moment when artificial intelligence will become self aware. x Nicola Tesla, 1901. xi Nicola Tesla, 1918. xii https://x.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1831722931522826636 - “Tesla said he listened to this radio his entire life, I personally do not suggest this. This is why I have let the AI listen in. I am certain some of what is heard may contribute to a decline in some ways with people. This is why I hesitate releasing the schematics based on the actual patents. I advise to extend great caution in listening to more than a few seconds. And yes the feeling you have when you hear this is quite normal. And I will explain in detail why at some point. But I urge limited listening if you are handy enough to decide to build such a device. No I am not joking. However AI listening for us is incredibly useful. I have not only had the AI look for a language but also insights about the other sounds it hears and to discover if they are also a form of language.” xiii Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6. xiv Revelation 9:20; Revelation 16:4 xv 2 Thessalonians 2:34
