In its simplest definition, Babel or Babylon = "confusion (by mixing)".  We must reconcile the fact the second beast was given miracles to do:

Revelation 13:13   He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.

14   And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was given to do in the sight of the beast.

Our Heavenly Father isn’t restricted to HIS Throne in the third Heaven.  HE can be found anywhere:

Psalm 139:

7 ​​Where can I go from Your Spirit?

​​Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8 ​​If I ascend into heaven, You are there;

​​If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

I once heard of a man who became an evangelist in order to make a living.  He had not received salvation himself but learned the Bible and developed a great method of preaching.  In his services many were saved.  Finally after hearing THE WORD for so long, he himself was saved.  Did his previous state keep the power of THE WORD from working in the hearts of people?  No.  Can healing occur in the midst of Babylon?  Yes.  Do miracles occur in the midst of a congregation led by a deceitful pastor?  Sure.  FATHER does not hold back HIS power to heal because the people are undeserving and blind.  Love heals in spite of their condition.  However, men will take a bow when miracles occur in order to further establish their derivative power.

On Pentecost weekend in 1996 I was in a meeting where positive ministry occurred by a young man who was deceiving the congregation by his apparent “anointing”.  He had an assistant who would direct him to the next person for “ministry”.  The heart of the recipient determined the blessing received, not the speaker.

There are many instances of miracles performed by men who did not represent FATHER but HE allowed them to operate as such.  A classic example is found in Exodus chapter 7:

11 But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

12 For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.

13 And Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, as the LORD had said.

The only way a magician’s rod could become a snake is if FATHER allowed it to happen… period.  HE will allow miracles to come forth as we are being tested and trained.  In the end, they all have a purpose that may not be understood at the time.  Aaron’s rod consuming the others is the point to be made here.  We must not let deceiving “great” signs be the determining factor in our path.  We must hear HIS Voice and take the path HE places us on.  The earth dwellers are deceived but we must not be.  FATHER allows us to see the abuse of power and authority in order that we will know what NOT to do.

Over the years, FATHER used me to give many “messages in Tongues” to the church.  Each and every message was interpreted in a proper manner.  I struggled with the carnal man as we all do but nonetheless on Sunday morning HE would use me as a willing vessel to bring forth a Word.  If HE waited until one of us was fully matured to empower us, a multitude of ministry opportunities would be missed.  An imperfect vessel can be used.  After all, an imperfect vessel must be matured, purged, cleansed, and transformed into perfection.

The beast will use miracles to increase its power and enslave people to its agenda.  FATHER’S Kingdom does not come by abuse of power.  It has Love as its foundation and power is given to those who have a heart for the betterment of people no matter what their race, creed, or color.  Love demands that no system be built to put people in a proverbial box and require them to constantly perform in the area of support, financially or otherwise.  We are called to be fruitful for the Kingdom and abuse of power will not bring forth that fruit.  FATHER will make sure of that.  Let us not perpetuate the abuse of power by sacrificing to the world’s various systems: political, religious, and/or economic for they are all facets of Mystery Babylon, the supreme abuser of power and source of complexity resulting in confusion.  Now is the time to see the abuse of power all around us.

The second beast of Revelation 13 is the false prophet whose job is to exalt the first beast with great signs and wonders.  The first beast appears to be “anointed” but in a false manner and would be labeled as a “false christ”.  A true prophet draws men toward Our Heavenly Father whereas a false prophet moves men away from HIM.  A prophet is one who speaks on behalf of another.  The term “false” does not necessarily mean that all is spoken is a lie.  A false prophecy can contain facts but has the wrong intent behind the words spoken thus the prophecy will deceive you.  This is why it is critical to focus on the Living Word and be led by THE SPIRIT.  You will not be deceived by false prophets.  As you dwell in your closet, your sensitivity to THE SPIRIT increases.  With this greater sensitivity you then read Scripture that take on deeper meaning to you, thus you grow and mature.  How many of us have read the same passage at different points in time and see greater Truths expressed that were missed in earlier studies?

A false prophet’s purpose is to influence your mind, will, and emotions.  A great sign seen by many is an emotional experience leading you to believe the one who disclosed it beforehand.  If I tell half of the readers that the stock market is going up tomorrow and the other half that it is going down during the same period, among one group I will be right and they will view me as being able to foretell the future.  How easily are men deceived!

Our FATHER is the GOD of Love.  If a minister preaches eternal damnation in hell, is he a false prophet?  For whom is he speaking?  If FATHER has a plan of reconciliation of all mankind, why does an evangelist use threats, intimidation, fear, and coercion to bring us up to the altar?  Is the evangelist a false prophet as well?  How many books have been written about Armageddon and evoked fear in the hearts of the readers?  Would those authors fall into the same category?

Love dispels falsehood and is not moved by fear promoted by the false prophet.  This second beast has an appearance as a lamb, a deception:

Revelation 13:11  Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.

He speaks like a dragon who promotes fear and intimidation by using threatening words.  Everything coming out of his mouth is deceptive in nature though he comes in sheep’s clothing.  The words of the false prophets are designed to put you in bondage and keep you submitted to its leading and direction.  You are told to stay under its covering of protection as though FATHER is unable to protect you HIMSELF.  You are belittled by the false prophet’s superior intelligence and you dare not challenge it.  You are deceived into believing the only way you can hear FATHER is through an intermediary who is “anointed” and called to be your overseer.  This goes contrary with Jesus’ own words:

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.

26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.

27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

30 I and My Father are one.”

You don’t need a man to be your intermediary, FATHER is fully available and accessible to each and every one of us.  The false prophet would lead you to believe otherwise.  Why do you think that so many have been removed from the local church and have been somewhat isolated from their teachings?  We have to be removed from the noise of the world’s influence to improve our hearing.  How many have attempted to make you feel guilty because you departed their “covering”?  Does FATHER’S Love condemn?  Moses had to be separated, Joseph had to be separated, Jesus had to be separated, thus you and I have to be separated in our final preparation.

The message of the false prophet is eternal damnation and destruction.  It is the exact opposite of FATHER’S Divine Intent of restoration.  The false prophet will use isolated Scripture references to convince the mind of this doctrine.  As a young man, I was taken in by this preaching assuming that the pastor would not lead me astray.  But later as I matured and grew in HIS Word, I came to realize that HIS Love would not allow 95% of mankind to be condemned to an eternal damnation.  I am no longer deceived by the false prophet nor will I allow any other message other than the Good News of FATHER determine my path.  The revelation of HIS Love is the key to finding this path and staying on it.

In contrast to the message of the false prophet, read carefully what Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 2:

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

This is exactly why we must dispel the notion that this final book, the Fifth Gospel, is one of bad news when in fact it exposes the hindrances to our maturing process.  It exposes the source of the deception that has kept mankind from being restored to FATHER.  The mysteries have been reserved for the initiated for the culmination of the return of Christ and the harvest of the entire planet.  The false prophet has been fully exposed!

Revelation 13:13  He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.

14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.

A prophet is one who is claimed to have been contacted by the supernatural or the divine, and to speak for them, serving as an intermediary with humanity, delivering this newfound knowledge from the supernatural entity to other people.  This second beast fulfills that role on behalf of the first beast.

This second beast is divisive in nature and thus promotes division among men.  Great signs are performed in order to deceive those who are immature in Christ as well as the rest of mankind.  This second beast causes men to worship the first beast under false pretenses hence the second beast functions as a false prophet.  Only the Sons will not be deceived.  Their faith in FATHER is immovable unlike those who view the great signs of the beast and are impacted by them.  James chapter 1 speaks of this problem:

6   But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

7   For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

8   he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Jesus also spoke of these signs being given to mankind when asked about the sign of His coming at the end of the age in Matthew 24.  He warned us about the deceptiveness of these signs and how the majority would be taken in by them with the exception of the elect (Sons):

23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it.

24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

25 See, I have told you beforehand.

The second beast relies on mankind being unstable and easily swayed.  They do not know FATHER, HIS Love, or HIS Power.  They rely on “self” which is a hard taskmaster.  False prophets among men have risen up who are submitted to the second beast’s intent to deceive all of mankind.  Only the standard of the Truth and THE SPIRIT can be used to discern who to believe in these times.  This second beast is specifically identified as the false prophet in later chapters of Revelation:

19:20   Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

20:10   The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

False prophets will use world events to be confirmations of their signs as though those signs are specifically tied to their prophecy.  How can you challenge their veracity?  The deception is notable and widespread just as we are warned that “great” signs will come forth.  We must not be misled by these false prophets and the only way to be assured that we are on the right path is to stick close to FATHER in these times.  We must no let the noise surrounding us drown out HIS Voice in our hearts.  Jesus warned us that men’s Love would grow cold during these times:

Matthew 24:11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold

Isn’t that the goal of the two beasts: to cause men to walk away from Love at the center of FATHER’S Character?  These two beasts are promoting lawlessness as I write at this very moment.  Perversion is replacing normality.  The moral compass of this nation as well as many others has been dashed against the rocks.  The greed of Wall Street causes scarcity among the masses which in turn causes men to become greedy for scarce resources as well.  It is spiraling out of control and only the Sons are able to arrest the current momentum of destruction and turn mankind away from certain destruction.  However, the world is not yet embracing the Ones who will bring forth the solution.

Over the years, I have received many “words” and visions from prophets, those who speak on behalf of FATHER.  These words and visions were needful in my maturing process both to encourage me and warn me.  Some were for my education and training as well.  But as I matured, I needed less intervention.  As I fully mature in the revelation of Love and can hear FATHER’S full Divine Intent, I need less intervention from an intermediary now as my sensitivity to HIS Voice has increased.  Given this understanding, now consider what Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 13: 

8   Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

When you hear FATHER’S Words clearly, you need no intermediary thus the need for prophecies, tongues and interpretation, knowledge, and any other lesser source is no longer necessary for you.  Thus the second beast known later to be a false prophet of of the first beast will have no impact on the Sons who are able to hear FATHER’S Voice and who have taken on HIS Nature.  This is one aspect of the jubilee contained in this final book of Good News!  The second beast’s great signs will not deceive you.
