Leviathan

Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. Revelation 13:1-3


For everyone alive in the world today, this is all we have ever known. Wars, rumors of wars, crime, violence, plagues, diseases, natural disasters, and growing lawlessness (anarchism) and economic disparity are par for the course of everyday life here on planet earth. In fact, for most of human history (and to paraphrase Thomas Hobbes), life was nasty, brutish, and short.


In the last 70 years or so, modern technology and advancements in medicine have alleviated a lot of the brutality of everyday life. This has enabled the world’s population to more than quadruple in just one century. However, even with our advancements in technology, political machinations have proven to be the most significant threat to humanity in the 20th century. As Marxism, Socialism, and Communism took hold in various places, the total dead in their wake has been in excess of 100 million. In fact, more people died in the 20th century due to these ideas then all the wars for the past twenty centuries combined.


Assessment
All things considered, we here in the West live in a generation that thinks that the way things are now, are the way they will always be. This view is known as uniformitarianism. Similarly, every age has thought that way until something came along that revolutionized either how they lived, or completely disrupted their world they lived in; wars, famines, plagues, automobiles, airplanes, the atom bomb, computers, Internet, etc.


But since we live in an age where technology keeps evolving so quickly (flying cars, trans-humanism, artificial intelligence, 5 and 6G networks, crypto-currency, quantum computers, hypersonic travel, genetic modifications and all the rest), the expectation amongst “the experts” is that we will continue to evolve as a race until humans and machines are virtually indistinguishable. In an era of perpetual modernization, we tend to think that mankind will continue upward on a trajectory that achieves a Star Trek paradigm of a humanistic utopia.
Speaking of Thomas Hobbes, he is most famous for his treatise on the social-political contract titled Leviathan. Below is a short summation of that text.


In 1649, a civil war broke out over who would rule England—Parliament or King Charles I. The war ended with the beheading of the king. Shortly after Charles was executed, an English philosopher, Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679), wrote Leviathan, a defense of the absolute power of kings. The title of the book referred to a leviathan, a mythological, whale-like sea monster that devoured whole ships. Hobbes likened the leviathan to government, a powerful state created to impose order.


Hobbes believed that a government headed by a king was the best form that the sovereign could take. Placing all power in the hands of a king would mean more resolute and consistent exercise of political authority, Hobbes argued. Hobbes also maintained that the social contract was an agreement only among the people and not between them and their king. Once the people had given absolute power to the king, they had no right to revolt against him.


Hobbes warned against the church meddling with the king’s government. He feared religion could become a source of civil war. Thus, he advised that the church become a department of the king’s government, which would closely control all religious affairs. In any conflict between divine and royal law, Hobbes wrote, the individual should obey the king or choose death. (Source) Emphasis mine


Hobbes political-philosophical theories have greatly influenced many (including America’s Founding Fathers) throughout the ages. Having recently experienced firsthand the tyranny of a king, the Founding Fathers rightly rejected his ideas on assigning all power to an individual or group, which is how we ended up with a government that operates under a separation of powers.


In retrospect, Leviathan can hardly been seen as intentionally prophetic, there is embedded within it an ages-long desire to ultimately consolidate power into the hands of one person. This desire for replacing anarchy for “peace and security” can be traced all the way back to a man named Nimrod and the Tower of Babel.


But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them…So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth. Genesis 11:5-9


In other words, what God has torn asunder, let not man rejoin. But ever since, man has consistently (and futilely) sought to bring everyone back together. Most have attempted to unify the world under threat of force: The Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Mongols, Muslims, Napoleon, Adolph Hitler, and various communist dictators all have tried and failed. However, there has never been as serious a movement for a new world order as there has been since the end of World War II. The chartering of the United Nations on 26 June 1945, marked a new era in which world powers would willingly subjugate themselves (in varying degrees) over to a world political and economic body.


There are many, particularly within secretive societies and Marxist groups, which believe consolidating power into a single source, is the only way to solve the world’s problems. But with the ascendancy of the United States after World Wars I and II, this idea of a single-world-order would have to wait. But in their waiting, proponents of this new world order have been quietly laying a foundation of political and economic spider webs so intrinsic, that NO future government or political body would ever escape it. They are busy consolidating as much power, into as few of hands as possible. This is not some nefarious scheme to them, but a way to bring complete and total peace and security to a planet in disarray.


According to Revelation 13, there is coming a world government that will one day control every facet of life on earth with absolute authority. This government is represented symbolically as a beast rising out of the sea. The beast is represented as an amalgamation of many different kinds of animals (kingdoms). The symbolism of the animal (kingdoms) comes from Daniel 7-8. The symbolism for the sea represents the ‘sea of humanity,’ as later explained in Revelation 17:15. Those left behind after the Rapture of the Church will enter into Daniel’s 70th Week (Daniel 9:24-27) and willingly give their authority over to this monstrosity of a government.


In turn, this world government will consolidate all its authority into the hands of one man, the Antichrist. Of course, he will not come out and say he is the Antichrist but rather, will appear as the “rider on the white horse,” bearing a bow with no arrows and wearing a victor’s crown (Rev. 6:1-2). Daniel states that he will go about destroying fearfully through deception and lies (Daniel 8:24-25). Both Daniel and later the Apostle Paul state that his blasphemies against God and Christ, are stacked up to the heavens (Dan. 7:24, 2nd Thessalonians 2:4).


Conclusion


But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 1st Thess. 5:1-3


Every single past attempt at unifying the world has always lacked the single most important ingredient, the perfect crisis. I believe that the perfect crisis will manifest itself in the form of the Rapture of the Church, which will empty the world of all Spirit-filled believers. This sudden removal will also remove the restraining influence that the Holy Spirit has exercised over the earth for the past 2,000 years (2nd Thess. 2:7; 1st John 2:18). The Holy Spirit (by way of the Church) has kept the spirit of antichrist at bay since Pentecost.


But as we draw nearer to the end, we have seen the churches become more and more apostate, subsequently losing ground in virtually every sector and facet of society they once held. Social norms and values have been corrupted to the point that we (as a society) can no longer can distinguish right from wrong. This is evidenced by the rise in this antichrist spirit that we see sweeping the world.


Along with the perfect crisis, comes a world already primed and ready through these transnational organizations and economies, technology, secular humanism, paganism, and indoctrination to believe the lie that will abound in the aftermath of the Rapture. We do not know what that lie will be at present, but if the world can accept the scientific “truths” of the Big Bang theory, Darwinian evolution, man-made global warming, yet, deny the scientific truth that men and women are biologically different; the world is very much ready to believe anything.


So why crisis by Rapture?


Having read numerous Department of Defense and National Security briefs over the years concerning every possible threat and/or scenario the United States faces, not one of them ever mentions a rapture-type scenario. To the world, a “rapture” is beyond preposterous. To most of the mainline Christian churches, a “rapture” is impossible. To the overwhelming majority in the media and the academic elite, the rapture is the epitome foolishness. In fact, the only time it is ever brought up in the public sense, is only to mock someone who has unwisely (and unbiblically) advocated a particular date they think it will happen.


But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 1st Corinthians 2:7


If crisis was not the intended effect (for those on the earth) in the Rapture’s wake, why couldn’t God just make all true born-again Christians immortal and immune to both sin and wrath during the 70th Week? However, it is exactly the opposite. We are not promised to be kept through this period of testing, but too be kept from the very time (hour) of it.


Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Revelation 3:10


For all intents and purposes, the Rapture was designed the way it was in order to create this perfect vehicle for ushering in an immediate, global crisis. This crisis allows this sea monster (along with the Antichrist) to usher in total, absolute control. This final and terrifying governmental system has the total backing of Satan, that serpent of old. It will crush all underfoot and bring about destruction so severe, that if God does not intervene, no flesh would survive (Matt. 24:20-22). But fear not,


In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong,
Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
Leviathan that twisted serpent;
And He will slay the reptile that is in the sea.
Isaiah 27:1

Even so, Maranatha!

Hello, I am the witness with testimony in seeing in the heavenly realm to images of Jesus Christ spoken of in Revelation 11:2; Torah "Chabad" Ezekiel 8:3 and 5; Ezekiel 28:12Satan who is the "engraver of images".
My testimony on video called "Christ testimony of the churches around the world" Please google name of video.

Teaching of the Messiah
There has been two different teachings of the Messiah for over 1500 years.
We have the Holy Bible of the gentiles who have been teaching the Messiah comes from seed of David by non-human conception.
Then we have the Torah "Chabad" of the Jewish people who have been teaching over two thousand years the Messiah comes from the seed of David by human conception!

The hidden truth is the exact "words" of the Messianic scriptures of the prophets in Torah "Chabad DID NOT get transferred into the Holy Bible over 1500 years ago for the gentiles!
AND
Chosen disciples proclaim, taught, testified, and preached to the people the man Jesus Christ son of Joseph from the house of David is KingMessiah who fulfilled the Torah "Chabad" Messianic scriptures of the prophets known as the "Mystery of G-d"!
I am telling the truth.
Gentile churches have been teaching another Jesus Christ "word" of prophecy, called the "virgin birth" prophecy! This explain to Jewish people why certain prophecies in Torah "Chabad" have not yet been fulfilled because the gentile churches are teaching counterfeit Messianic scriptures of the prophets that denies Jesus Christ fulfilled Torah "Chabad" true Messianic scriptures of prophets. Soon Revelation 11 and 12 shall be fulfilled. Then comes outpouring of G-d's spirit upon all flesh then comes all scattered Jews return to Israel then comes end of days. churches not going anywhere until all fulfilled in Torah "Chabad" and book of Revelation. there is more but one must study Torah "Chabad"

Would you happen to know if there are any extrabiblical yet legitimate prophecies concerning "Leviathan the Black Dragon"?

I have something claiming to be God who says He gave a private prophecy to someone in the year 1649 about a creature bearing that title. He says that a full transcript is written down somewhere, but it's under lock and key and it's in an obscure language I can't study online.

He says this alleged prophecy concerns me personally because the Leviathan creature is alive today, living only six hours from my house, and later this year it will take me into custody for the remainder of my life. He says my best shot at a normal lifespan is to fast for 3 days like Queen Esther and hope I find favor with it. Supposedly it is some kind of transhuman made in a laboratory, with unnatural strength like a comic book character, and although it looks like a human man I had better not call it "he" to its face because it hates that. He says it looks like an adult version of Damien from the Omen remake--at least in this plane. He says women are drawn to it, but it has to collect a very specific kind of lady before getting anything done on Earth--one who can physically and emotionally pass for a family member, ideally a blond-haired blue-eyed Christian who can't conceive children of her own(?!). It is a "geel," the most transhuman kind of transhuman ever made, so as a result it never had a biological family to show it love, nor any mutual emotional attachments with anyone ever. It needs to be seen with a wholesome family member who shows it hugs and encouragement like normal people, and then it will be a king of half the Earth. Everyone will love or hate it, and those who hate it will be too afraid to fight a real-life comic book character. The Leviathan and another superpowered "geel," a Jewish friend it makes along the way, will dress me up and bring me from one end of the world to the other to overhaul economies and reason with archangels in the street. (I have zero qualifications for anything like that. I can barely order from restaurants!) At that time, faced with men of steel and a nice lady who looks like a walking glitterbomb, people around the world will be legitimately confused as to who or what God is, but on the bright side, it will be an opportunity for me to set everything straight and share my faith with the whole world. He keeps emphasizing that I shouldn't view this sequence of events as captivity, but as an opportunity to do His work. "And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?" I guess that line of reasoning makes sense. He put a lot of Old Testament heroes into positions of influence where they could testify about Him, even under kings who were otherwise secular and sinful, to do good that they could never have done on their own.

It sounds very dangerous, though, both physically and spiritually. I asked God what will happen if the Rapture happens within my lifetime. He said I have to stay put--I don't get to leave with everyone else. Does that mean losing my Salvation?? Some of my earliest childhood nightmares were about missing the Rapture, and now I'm being told that they might come true! I don't want to be left all alone while everyone I've ever loved is taken away. Of course being able to personally explain to everyone else the truth of what happened could be a priceless opportunity for Christ, but at what personal cost?

I also asked what happens if the Leviathan creature decides it doesn't like me. He said nothing truly bad, only earthly death in less than a week, or less than a day depending on how much things go wrong. I'm 34 years old--I'm not ready for that! There are so many things I've never had a chance to do yet! I know that in every way, Heaven will be better, but still, I am NOT ready to die this year! Is it bad that I would prefer more options? I keep asking to know what exactly the Prophecy of the Black Leviathan says about my future and my spiritual and bodily safety, but God says there are too many "spoilers" to tell me right now.

From the prophecies in the actual Bible, the End Times sound fairly straightforward: A very bad person and his false prophet take over the world, kill a lot of it intentionally and through mismanagement, and are later killed by God personally. It doesn't say anything about comic-book-like humanoids or their gal pal. I'm pretty sure the Book of Revelation doesn't even mention Old Testament-style giants. It sounds like a Leviathan dies at some point. The Black Leviathan, or some other being? Do they come in different colors and is that important?

It's not that I'm in denial out of fear, per se, and I certainly don't want to question God Almighty. But how can I know if any of this is true or even possible? How can I know if anything extrabiblical is true? How can I even know if a prophecy locked up far away, from hundreds of years ago, ever existed? The fact that a regular book called Leviathan was
