Blasphemy

In our current world, the concept of blasphemy has become hazy (at least for me it has) — so much so, that it wouldn’t hurt to review what the word actually means.  According to the online dictionaries, it means:

the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God or to something sacred, or something said or done that is disrespectful to God or to something sacred , or irreverence toward something deemed important or inviolable

In the New Testament, Jesus was accused of blasphemy on a number of occasions, when He made statements about His divinity — Mark 2:5-7, John 10:30-33, Mark 14:61-64.  A more contemporary example is when someone abuses the Quran in public, sending Muslims into a fit of holy rage.

The Beast, aka the Anti-Christ, will be the epitome of blasphemy.  This site has argued that the Beast will pose as the secular Jewish Moshiach (i.e. messiah), while actually he will serve as Satan’s physical manifestation.  As such, he will spew blasphemies 24/7.  Revelation 13:1 says:

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Also, in verses 5 and 6:

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

In a similar fashion, the second beast, the false Elijah will also be the epitome of blasphemy.  Revelation 13:11 says:

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

The false Elijah will speak as a dragon, aka as Satan, so it will be as though Satan himself will be speaking blasphemies to the whole world.

Though these events will take place towards the very end of the End of Days, we have already begun to see political figures utter complete blasphemies.  Minor political figures on the local level have openly given worship to Satan, in lieu of prayers to God the Father, and to Jesus Christ.  The Democratic nominee for the Texas Senate race has also publicly spoken blasphemies during his campaign — should he actually win and become a US Senator; it will only encourage other Democrats to utter blasphemies from their political platforms.

Though the US may have freedom of religion, at what point does tolerance of evil end?

Don’t Pick on China… too much.

Revelation 9:14-19 says (New King James version):

¹³ Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, ¹⁴ saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” ¹⁵ So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. ¹⁶ Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. ¹⁷ And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. ¹⁸ By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. ¹⁹ For ^[a]their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.

When talking about this prophecy, I always assume it will be China, given the interpretation that the army will come from the East and that China has a very large population.  However, when reading more modern versions of the Bible (and not the traditional King James version), the colors “fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow” stood out.  Would it not be possible that these colors denote 3 different countries, allied in their war effort?  If we continue to assume China will be part of this massive army (of AI controlled robots/drones), then fiery red would definitely be their color.  Given current political alignments, one might think hyacinth blue would represent Russia, and sulfur yellow would represent India.  Currently these three nations have worked together within the BRICS framework and have strong economic and military ties as well.  Also, all three nations have resisted being controlled by the globalist Jew dominated Western nations.  Should these contemporary political realities continue, then seeing them more closely aligned in the future is a very reasonable assumption.

Again, hopefully we will all be enjoying the dinner of the Marriage of the Lamb, when all of this is happening.
