Daniel Natale of The New American (that also has a YouTube channel), whom I wrote about recently, has another brilliant short video on the truly infernal consequences of wearing masks, from an entirely secular perspective. I hope his wise words and information I had heretofore not considered has an impact on readers. He begins by discussing “Publishers seem to be engaging in a new phenomenon, whereby they are hiding the faces of the people on the covers [of books]. Is this part and parcel of the new culture of masked faces that certain elements seem to want to usher in to our society? What are the sociological effects of such a trend? What does this mean for our once-free republic?” More importantly, he discusses the dehumanizing aspect and the ability of masks to act as cover for evil doers.

Of course, readers aware of my work will see that I’ve written from a Christian perspective, and in finding an answer to Laurence Vance’s question, “Who is this God?” in which he wrote: Wounded by Love: The L... Elder Porphyrios Best Price: $43.24 Buy New $29.95 (as of 05:51 UTC - Details)

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a United Methodist minister and a politician (what a combination), was selected to pray at the opening of the new Congress yesterday. In addition to ending his prayer with “amen and awoman,” he asked his prayer “in the name of the monotheistic god Brahma and god known by many names by many different faiths.” Is this guy dumb enough to think that “amen” is masculine and therefore he had to add “awoman” so he could be gender inclusive? Brahma is a Hindu god. It was hard to hear Cleaver with his mask on his face while he prayed, but after listening to his prayer many times, it seems clear to me that he said “Brahma.” And who is this god known by many names and many different faiths? Who is this god of Rep. Cleaver?

I think perhaps the best response is given in this piece, “Count the Number of the Beast: 666” by Inok Vsevolod (Filipiev), in 1998, and translated into English:

It is interesting to trace how, over thousands of years, satan has been preparing mankind to accept his religion. Many pagan cults confess some kind of divine triad. The ancient Romans had Jupiter, Juno and Minerva; the Hindus have Brahma, Siva and Visnu; in the Egyptian religion one finds the trinitarian group of Osiris, Isis, and Horus. The concept of a trinity also exists in Buddhism and among the ancient Slavs and Celts. In the Graeco-Roman religious cults this idea was reflected in the veneration of the three-bodied goddess Hecate, the three-headed Scylla, the triune divinities of the Cabiri. At the gate of Hades stood guard the fiendish, three-headed dog, Cerberus. Numerous divine triads have been revered by pagan tribes of the Americas and Africa. The cult of voodoo, which is related to modern satanism and still practiced today, believes in some anti-trinity.

Many people think that the seal of the Antichrist will be something like a stamp or brand, or an electronic chip implanted under the skin. The basis for such thinking lies in the fantastically rapid development of science and technology in this direction. Most likely, however, this scientific development is designed to distract mankind’s attention from the real mark of Antichrist, which will have nothing to do with the advances of science, technology or medicine. At a time when people’s suspicions and anxieties are fixed upon some innovation of progress—the implantation of computer chips in humans, for example—the real seal of Antichrist will be imprinted quietly, without any particular commotion. [Emphasis added.]

In a spiritual sense, this satanic mystery—the imprinting of the mark of Antichrist—will be the antithesis of the Christian Mystery of Chrismation, which, we recall, is the placing of the seal of the Holy Spirit, while imitating its external form. Just as in the Mystery of Chrismation, the priest anoints the newly-illumined on the forehead and hands, so, too, in the placing of the mark of Antichrist, his servants may well anoint people with some kind of “sacred” oil, which will symbolize the voluntary acceptance of Antichrist and his religion. The iconographic tradition of the Orthodox Church supports this supposition. In the iconographic sketch, illustrating the pouring out of God’s wrath upon those bearing the mark of the beast—that is, the seal of Antichrist (Rev. 16:1,2)—we see satan wearing a fiery three-horned crown (symbolizing the trinity of evil); he is signing people on the forehead with the mark of the beast—the seal of Antichrist. Moreover, he is using a brush, dipping into a vial that he is holding in his other hand (The Illuminated Bible, 1914). Why is it that the illustration depicts satan himself placing the mark?

Because it symbolizes his spiritual presence among those numerous servants of the religion of Antichrist, who will actually place the mark upon the peoples of the earth.

Of course, the sign of Antichrist may be placed by means other than a brush—by some other “sacred” instrument or simply by the hand of a servant of the universal (Antichrist’s) religion. Whatever the actual means, the aim is to induce people to renounce Christ.

To some it may appear that keeping oneself from accepting the stamp of the Antichrist will be easy. We should not forget the warning in Scripture that in the last times even many of the chosen will be deceived, that is, many Orthodox Christians. How is this possible? It is important to understand that the principal danger lies not in the fact that this stamp will be masked and presented in the form of some technological innovation, but rather in the fact that modern, “civilized” man will be ashamed, he will be embarrassed not to accept it. This will be the greatest temptation to overcome-and many will not. Just listen to the logic: “Why do you refuse to take part in this measure that involves all of humanity, that is being instituted worldwide? After all, it symbolizes unity and the brotherly love of all peoples. It is a symbol of our unity under the aegis of a lawful global authority that has been given to all men from above. Are you against peace and order? Do you want a reign of chaos and enmity? If you are people of good will, you must take part in these cultural enactments that concern all mankind.” [Emphasis added.] Of course, it will turn out that one such “innocent” enactment will be, in fact, the rite of bowing down before the God-hating Antichrist. Only a discerning vigilance, illumined by the grace of God, will be able to preserve us from such subtle deception of the last times. What will be the consequences of accepting the mark of Antichrist? They will be truly horrific, destroying human souls. The fruit of denying God is always dreadful, for life without God is death.

Whether the mask, and as described above the use of “shame” for not loving mankind on those who do not comply and refuse to don the monstrosity, and of course the mask is used in so many satanic rituals, is indeed “the mark,” I believe it is most certainly a mark of the spirit of Antichrist.

Christians are aware (and I’ve written in the past) on the betrayals by Greek Orthodox and Catholic church leadership. This site, which is traditional Orthodox, has videos on the nature of the Antichrist, which I hope remain on YouTube.

For Catholics, perhaps this video will be helpful, on “Antichrist According To The Great Catholic Mystic Maria Valtorta”:

In any event, I hope there is growing resistance to the tyranny forced on us, which I believe is a great spiritual evil, by both believers and those who might not have faith but in their heart understand a great evil is growing in power all around us. I believe we must resist to the best of our abilities and we must not give in to fear or despair. Perhaps the book Wounded by Love, summarized here, may help to inspire all believers; the power of the evil one is not to be scorned but it is trivial compared to the power of God.
