I think the spell is keeping people in ignorance, fear, anger, sickness, depression, lust, addiction, seeking pleasure and profit, and such.
I agree. That’s why Our Lady keeps asking us to pray the rosary daily. We sincerely need to commit to the Five First Saturdays as well.
Fascinating, I mean I have always known this request. But for some reason I have a new and refreshing perspective on it. The first five Saturdays are a battle ground. Trying to get family into the car likely results in huge trials. The devil did everything he could to stop it, including the publishing of the full message of the third secret. It was an organized pre-emptive strike. Last year I had my mind renewed thrice, only to fall again each time under only what I can believe is an attack of evil which manifested in my life by no apparent fault of my own. During one of the times of great turmoil I had dream flashes of a large serpent several times. This event coincided with Carnival. My mind is starting to be renewed again as I further practice contemplation according to Brother Lawrence and the Cloud. Thankfully, it appears that more suffering results in greater rewards as my understanding has deepened. This deepening results in little miracles, or the recognition of little miracles, more often. I kind of wonder if this is what the birth pangs are about. The battle was coming regardless, but it is better to head into it.
In my mind, the 1,000 years can represent multiple things… 1. The time in which the Catholic Church is upon the earth (so from 33 A.D. to the end of time). 2. The time in which Christianity rapidly spread and was preserved in many nations (so like from 300-400 A.D. to the early 1900s) 3. The period of peace foretold at Fatima. 4. Perhaps another long period of time in the future which we don’t really know about yet. 5. I think there could also be a Marian dimension - 1,000 years representing her perfection and Satan being chained representing her preservation from original sin. This would tie in with chapter 21 which shows Mary as the Heavenly New Jerusalem and the true Mystical City of God. These are just my ideas, the Apocalypse can be interpreted in so many ways!
The 7 Seals and 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls are describing the same time period. They are just recapitulations. They focus on different events and outcomes for different types of people in that single time frame. The 7 seals do not happen before the 7 Trumpets with the 7 Bowls coming last. The 7 stages within each narrative are definitely sequential though. 1. The 7 Seals is focused on those baptized who are living in a way pleasing to God at the time the events begin. They respond to God's call without wavering. They are rewarded as being included in the 12 tribes who are taken with the Rapture. Here is what is said of them in Apoc. 7: These are they who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he, that sitteth on the throne, shall dwell over them. 2. The 7 Trumpets is focused on those baptized who are living in an intermediate state when the events begin. They respond to God's call only after His Warning (Apocalypse, chapter 10). These people will feel the brunt of the great tribulation as a penance for their prior mistakes and lukewarmness. They will be tried in the crucible of persecution. But those who persevere will be saved as described in Apoc. 11: 7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast, that ascendeth out of the abyss, shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city, which is called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord also was crucified. 9 And they of the tribes, and peoples, and tongues, and nations, shall see their bodies for three days and a half: and they shall not suffer their bodies to be laid in sepulchres. 10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry: and shall send gifts one to another, because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth. 11 And after three days and a half, the spirit of life from God entered into them. And they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon them that saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them: Come up hither. And they went up to heaven in a cloud: and their enemies saw them. 3. The 7 Bowls of Wrath is focused on those baptized who are the followers of the Beast and the persecutors of the "two witnesses." They will be eternally punished for their deeds because they "did not love the truth, but consented to iniquity" (2 Thessalonians 2) aka they "take the Mark of the Beast." This is describe in Apocalypse 19: 19 And the great city was divided into three parts; and the cities of the Gentiles fell. And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the indignation of his wrath. Again, those overlapping sequences describe the same period, but in slight different ways, emphasizing on thing or another as it applies to the target audience. Other parts of the Apocalypse, those outside of those 3 sequences, provide the meat, filling out the skeleton of the sequences. It is all happening in approximately 3.5 years.
Yes, bricks are made of what? Clay. What is Adam made of? Clay. What does Adam's name in Hebrew mean? Clay. So the Tower of Babel was made by men and its "stones" (actually stone look-alikes or counterfeits), were made of men. They wanted to build their own heaven on earth. Made from the earth. Made with human hands. Contrast that with the Church, which has Christ as the cornerstone and different types of God-made stones making up the rest of the eternal city. This is described in Ezekiel and the Apocalypse 21:18-21.
Yes, I like the way you've woven the events together. Let's keep in mind that there was a moment when God repents of humanity. We are not angels, but we must confront the fallen angels. Humanity was almost extinct after the Great Flood; it was thanks to Noah's Ark that he and his family survived the catastrophe. Noah's descendants (several generations), as the only human beings on the planet, moved to the plain of Shinar (Babel). They all spoke a single language and decided to build a tower so high it would reach heaven. So God, once again, intervenes to scatter the only people left on earth.
I hope you all don't mind me sharing this video here, I wanted to share it on the AI thread but it ties in very well into the discussion here. It's long and there is a lot to digest but I hope some of you will take the time to listen and discuss. I will be interested to read all of your thoughts on it. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1NgknhAb0KJfa64zBc7mIh?si=EmjjPdusQ9SL_8dmCHEBRQ
I listened to this and it is pretty good at giving information that those at the top are into the occult and are often worshipping Satan, regardless of the field they are in. So it isn't surprising that those who are creating AI are also into the occult. I do believe that there is a great possibility that not being able to buy and sell is related to some sort of global system which captures the world. But everything said in regards to the future is hypothetical until it happens. What I did like was how the guest said that God is currently allowing these things to take place for His plans. I think the mark could be something else, like some kind of new technology which destroys a person's connection with God altogether. If a system which captures the world's economy does take place, or any kind of capture of the social market place, it is ultimately a material one. This is a machine which would have a false intellect, false emotions, and so on as they are all programmed. But I think there is a possibility that something else altogether is happening currently. In some of the recent scientific videos on consciousness I have seen it talks about how time in reality doesn't exist. But rather that we are moving through a series of events that have already happened. Much like how a movie on a reel already exists in it's entirety, but we see it play out in a rapid succession of frames. However there isn't only one movie reel, but rather the movie can branch off into more positive or more negative timelines. Much like how a tree branch or lightning strike looks. Our Lady in Medjugorge said prayer and fasting can change wars and I think that this could mean we have the potential to enter into a different timeline via the 5 stones, based on a collective aggregate of adherents. If you look at the world currently, it seems as though everything taking place is degenerative. Be it the medical system, immigration system, wars, economic system, media system, criminal system, church and so on. Just as modernism is the synthesis of all heresies, the current establishments are the synthesis of degeneracy and it is only getting worse. I believe this is done purposefully to the effect of keeping mankind from uniting and blossoming, from jumping into a timeline of positive potential. However, to repeat the interviewee, God has made plans for everything including this. So personally I am not so concerned about AI itself as much as how it is used. I also think that AI could be being used in the social media space to keep everyone stressed out as this also helps add to a dark minded aggregate of human hearts which keeps the world selecting negative branches on the timeline. So it becomes very important to guard our faculty of attention as well as direct it towards God often with love. As often as possible.
I live in Maryland. Northern Virginia and DC are very close. These are all populous areas. There is a great deal of discussion as to where to build these giant data centers which would use large amounts of the electrical grid and take up land and infrastructure. Many residents are against this. My point is : why do we need these? Why does local government want these data centers?
These data centers are being planned and popping up all over TX as well...It's a big topic of discussion right now out here in the country because the data centers are being built and there's a concern about the huge amount of water and electricity these centers will take from the local communities. We have one being built about an hour north of us that will take up 1,677 acres.
The final antichrist will probably be Jewish, right? Aren't the Jews basically in charge of all the world's financial systems? Seems easy to imagine the antichrist being in control of who buys and sells. And the Jews are still awaiting their worldly savior who will establish a kingdom on earth.
I think you make a great analysis, I don't disagree with anything however I am more interested in looking at AI as a potential for the demonic to possess, as in the ghost in the machine. I heard someone describe it once as a new version of the ouija board and we are essentially asking a something to answer questions. I did always imagine the "mark" being more along the lines of a vaccine, something that would give us the promise of immortality but my reading of the book is very superficial compared to everyone here.
In my observation it follows the same pattern of forcing things on the public that they do not necessarily need or want. Nor do they ever give an honest answer for why we need these things, which implies an agenda. They also do not assist in creating a better society but instead degenerates it. I believe they want these things because it helps them to have more control over the world people in general. The citizenry in communist Russia were looked upon as economic units, which stems from a materialistic world view.
If I am understanding you correctly, it would be like a demon which comes to inhabit the AI, like when a person becomes perfectly possessed. So when a person is interacting with AI they would be speaking directly with a demon. Like how during an exorcism rite the exorcist is speaking at times directly to the demon. My understanding is that AI is an inanimate object and therefore cannot be possessed, because it doesn't have a soul. However, if someone assumes it to have spiritual powers, like a Ouija board, then a person is opening themselves up to evil. So I guess it depends on the questions asked of it whether or not they are opening themselves up to evil. Any question asked falling under the umbrella of divination would do exactly that. Asking for a recipe or a part number would not be problematic to my understanding. But asking the AI to speak with my dead family members w0uld be.
It could very well be, I mean it sounds entirely possible given humanities current trajectory. In Revelation 18:23 the WoB is called the "important merchants of the earth" if that means anything to you. They also deceived people using sorcery. Could the man of lawlessness be a part of the WoB, or is he going to strictly be relegated to being the head of the Beast? IDK.
You are right and I agree, AI can't be possessed. However, if enough tech guys are into the occult like Nick Land, and they give permission for their technology to be used in that manner then yes, it could be infested by demons. Then what do we do? True, asking benign questions seems harmless but people playing around with ouija boards ask benign questions, too. I am honestly wondering and I think it's time the theologians of our church begin looking at these trends and try to answer them. Kids love to make clay statues but you add some mumbo-jumbo and you can end up with a golem. And if we are eventually forced to get a digital mark inorder to participate in digital commerce it seems quite logical to me you would be marking yourself and opening yourself to the demonic.
