The Christian Who Cried Antichrist: A Handy-Dandy Guide To Not Do That

There was once a Christian who tended his Sheep on a YouTube channel from a basement near a desert wilderness. It was rather lonely for him all day, so he thought upon a plan by which he could get a little company and some excitement. He made a 3 hour and 42 minute video calling out “Antichrist! Antichrist!” and the Flock came to watch, and some of them commented with him for a considerable time. This pleased the Christian so much that a couple weeks afterwards he made another considerably long video calling out “Antichrist! Antichrist!” because the news cycle had changed, and again the Flock came to watch and comment. But shortly after this the Antichrist actually did come out from the desert wilderness, and began to persecute some of the Sheep, and the Christian of course went live and cried out “Antichrist! Antichrist!” still louder than before. He even used three pointing emojis, a yellow warning sign, and four red exclamation points in the title! But this time the Sheep, and also the Lost, who had been fooled twice before, thought the boy was again deceiving them, and nobody paid attention and nobody turned to Christ. So the Antichrist made a good meal off the Christian’s Flock, and when the Christian complained, the Lord commented on his YouTube channel and said:

“A truthful witness rescues lives, but the one who breathes lies brings deception.”

Proverbs 14:25 NET

The Witness of the Church Has Suffered Greatly from the Christian Who Cried Antichrist

How many times throughout Church history has someone cried “Antichrist!” and how many times has he shown up? Has it ever been correct?

I lament. It seems we cannot resist pointing fingers at someone and making this claim without any shadow of a doubt. Did you know that people on the outside looking in make fun of us for this? I know because I have an unbelieving friend who has done this very thing. When Obama’s name was being tossed around, even though I did none of the tossing, it didn’t matter. My friend made fun of me for it. We haven’t spoken since. Just this one activity alone is causing great damage to the Church’s credibility, reputation, and witness. How much more all the other unbiblical speculation that goes along with it?

If you’ve spent any time in end-time social media circles, lately, you’ve probably seen the numerous claims that the newly crowned King Charles is the Antichrist. It would seem for some the Beast from the Sea likes sipping his darjeeling with honey and milk. Who knew? I would ask by what biblical criteria would an elderly Englishman from a defunct line of kings be considered as the most evil man there will ever be in history, the Son of Perdition? And what of the newly released reports about King Charles’ cancer? Would the Antichrist be diagnosed with some sort of cancer betraying a weakness for all the world to know? Absurd. Even beyond all of this, and most importantly, it quite literally says the Antichrist will not be from royalty in the Book of Daniel.

"Then there will arise in his place a despicable person to whom the royal honor has not been rightfully conferred. He will come on the scene in a time of prosperity and will seize the kingdom through deceit.

Daniel 11:21 NET

Now that you’ve seen this, if you’re one who has been spreading this gossip around, will you stop and post this verse on your social media account and say you were wrong? Your decision will speak volumes.

King Charles is just one in a long list of candidates which reads like, well, a who’s-who of Antichrist candidates. This list has included such esteemed world personalities as Hitler, Vlad “the Impaler” Putin, Donald Trump (originally for promoting a Middle East peace deal), Jared Kushner (for helping him), John Kerry (for promoting a Middle East peace deal), Obama (for being Obama), Alexi Tsipras (only nerds of eschatology, of which I am one, may remember this one—good times!), and even way back before this, Mikhail Gorbachev. There have been many others in between.

The Pope has been a long-running candidate, though people just can’t seem to figure out whether he is the Antichrist or the False Prophet. Rather, it’s the seat of the Pope because when one such named individual leaves the position after not fulfilling the criteria, fingers point to the new guy as the one the Bible is actually talking about. Hey, do you remember when the Pope stumbled and fell over during Mass? Honestly now, would the Antichrist or False Prophet be embarrassed like this in public? Again, absurd.

Then there’s Elon Musk whom it seems will be giving the Pope a run for his wealth for years to come. Right now, he’s being paired up with Donald Trump as his immediate subordinate.

Oh, the imaginations of men!

Now that I think about it, I believe I remember hearing something about Dubya back in the day as well. In fact, would you be surprised to know that nearly every modern American President has been on the list? It might be better to just ask who hasn’t been on the list. This fact should be seen as an indictment of Western Bible prophecy interpretation prompting self-examination and exegetical reflection leading to the responsible handling of the Word. But, sadly, there’s no indication that it will be.

Alas, Women’s Rights advocates must be quite upset that all of the candidates being considered for the most powerful leadership position in worldly history are men!

End-time Bible prophecy can be a powerful evangelistic tool to reach the lost, but we need to get it right. After crying “Antichrist!” about 162 times, what do you think is going to happen the 163rd time when he actually shows up? Just like the Shepherd Boy in The Boy Who Cried Wolf, no one is going to listen, and great blame and fault will be at the feet of those who participate in this activity. We will never know the true cost of this obsessive behavior. Perhaps it’s time to re-examine the biblical criteria with which we are trying to identify him?

That’s rhetorical. It is time.

The Biblical Details Matter

It seems anytime some world leader or someone in a position of authority on the world stage acts in a tyrannical way, you can find him at the top of someone’s list. Thankfully, recognizing tyrannical tendencies in someone is not the deciding factor for Antichrist candidacy. If that were the case, we’d all be on someone’s list as it is the desire of fallen Man to rule the world around him. The person who will fulfill this prophecy will not just be a certain way. He has to do certain things, specific things, in a specific area of the world from which he comes. Merely being famous for holding a leadership position of some sort and uttering a few NWO buzzwords in a favorable manner falls woefully short of the mark.

Presently, we cannot know who he is because there are things that must happen before anyone can be recognized as fulfilling this role. Some of those things can be found in Daniel 7 and 11. Daniel 7:24 is an important verse in determining when he will be revealed to us as Christians. The angel interprets Daniel’s vision.

The ten horns mean that ten kings will arise from that kingdom. Another king will arise after them, but he will be different from the earlier ones. He will humiliate three kings.

Daniel 7:24 NET (see also 7:8)

Before his arrival on the scene, this end-time, ten-king kingdom must already exist. He does not rise to power over this kingdom until “after them”, more specifically after “humiliating” or “subduing” three of the ten kings who are in power. This ten-king kingdom does not yet exist.

He must be king of the north (Dan 11), which means this north kingdom must already exist. Daniel 11:21 is about his ascension to the throne of this kingdom, which will be in the same area as the old Seleucid Empire, the trial fulfillment of this prophecy—Turkey/Iran/Iraq/Syria. He’s called “king of the north” for this reason. It’s about the prophetic geographyin the text.

"Then there will arise in his place a despicable person to whom the royal honor has not been rightfully conferred. He will come on the scene in a time of prosperity and will seize the kingdom through deceit.

Daniel 11:21 NET

This north kingdom does not yet exist.

Here’s what the order of events from the Book of Daniel looks like:

1. A ten-king kingdom must exist (Dan 7:8, 7:24).

2. Daniel’s north kingdom must exist (Dan 11).

3. He must rise to power in this north kingdom (Dan 7:24, 11:21-23).
   

Even though there are other things I believe must happen before this, the point is if you don’t see a ten-king kingdom on the earth next to Israel (Joel 3:11-12; Zech 12:2, 14:14) with this north kingdom as part of it, the Antichrist isn’t going to be revealed.

If you need something simpler, it’s this: No ten-king kingdom in the Middle East, no Antichrist.

Read the following verse again. What happens first?

The ten horns mean that ten kings will arise from that kingdom. Another king will arise after them, but he will be different from the earlier ones. He will humiliate three kings.

Daniel 7:24 NET

How is it we’re going to read through these things containing Middle Eastern geography and a sequential order of events and still claim that New York City is Babylon, or stake out some old guys in America or Italy, or obsess over a particle accelerator in Geneva, Switzerland? I must ask, are we even reading at all?

Do Not Go Beyond the Biblical Borders of the Prophetic Text

Something else we need to consider is that certain biblical phrases don’t mean what our Western minds think they mean. Below is just one among many which have yet to be diligently explored by students of end-time Bible prophecy.

People will stagger from sea to sea, and from the north around to the east. They will wander about looking for a revelation from the LORD, but they will not find any.

Amos 8:12 NET

We have the phrase “sea to sea”, which minds outside the Middle Eastern biblical world take to mean the whole world, whereas the people who live in the area to whom this was written take to mean the whole land, literally from the Mediterranean Sea to the Dead Sea.

Who is correct?

 Why don’t we let the Bible tell us? This is one example of a figure of speech defined by the geography of the biblical world where all the action has always taken place. In this way, we shouldn’t go beyond the borders of the prophetic text in our interpretation of end-times events. 

So when Revelation 13:3, one of the verses people like to use to teach the Antichrist will rule a one-world government, says “the whole world” followed the beast, is it really the whole world? Or is it describing the whole biblical world, the physical boundaries having already been defined for us by the Old Testament Prophets when they gave us the names of the nations comprising the end-time, ten-king kingdom? Do you see?

These things deserve further examination, especially in light of passages in Daniel 11 which chronicles the constant wars the Antichrist is involved in throughout his reign, and specifically verse 30 that says “the ships of Kittim” (western forces, look it up) will come against him. So, two very reasonable questions for us would be:

1. If the Antichrist is ruling a one-world government, how do these other nations exist to wage war with him?

2. If the Antichrist is from the West, why is the West coming against him? 
   

The point is, if you take such phrases to mean the Antichrist will rule the whole world, then what do you do with Daniel 11? If you take Daniel 11 to mean he will not rule the whole world because he’s warring with other nations, then what do you do with phrases that appear in Revelation 13:3, Daniel 2:38, Isaiah 5:26, Amos 8:12, etc? These ideas both can’t be correct. It’s time for all of us to slow down and examine these things.

There are several other passages and phrases, some of which I’ve written about, and some of which I hope to write about in the future, that need to be further examined. And just so you know, I’m not the only teacher of end-time Bible prophecy drawing attention to these things.

It’s here where I must state that I am not teaching the Antichrist’s kingdom won’t affect the whole world. From Scripture such as Daniel 11 describing his warring with other world nations, and Revelation 18 describing his kingdom as a world economic superpower, and from the massive amount of Islamic migration out of the Middle East to all parts of the world, we see that it will. I am simply teaching it won’t rule the whole world.

Regarding the False Prophet and the Mark

The False Prophet

If we take the order of revealings in Revelation 13:1-11 to be representative of how they actually happen, then we must conclude the False Prophet shows up after the Antichrist. First one beast, “then” the other as it says in Revelation 13:11.

Some would argue, maybe even myself, that this order may just be representative of their hierarchical importance—first, second. If the False Prophet does show up before the Antichrist, for whatever reason, it will at least be around the same time—within the bounds of a human lifespan because they work together. Either way, there must be a ten-king kingdom in existence prior which the Antichrist seizes as we saw above.

Also, consider the False Prophet will be pointing the way to the Antichrist, not himself (Rev 13:11-18). He will be performing as an actual prophet, a false type of John the Baptist, more specifically a false Jesus. This means if the person you’re pointing a finger at as fulfilling the role of the False Prophet does not promote the worship of “the one who is coming” (using some such language) then he’s probably not him, and "probably” doesn’t cut it in the unblemished track record of biblical prophetic accuracy. In other words, the False Prophet promotes the worship of the Antichrist not himself (Rev 13:12).

It’s also important to note he will come from the same area as the Antichrist because they’re borne from the same antisemitic religion, the one “sitting” on this area even now (Rev 17:3). What reason does he have to promote the worship of his superior if they’re not of the same religion? This means if the religion you’re watching isn’t antisemitic and based in the Middle East, you’re watching the wrong religion.

For a more detailed look at this biblical figure, see Brief Exposé of the Biblical False Prophet.

The Mark of the Beast

We won’t know what the mark of the beast actually is until the False Prophet enforces it (Rev 13:16-17). Again, we can speculate about what it is, but speculation must be labeled as such and not taught as truth. This kind of sensational, knee-jerk guesstimating includes entitling blog posts and videos with a near-endless array of punctuation marks asking such things as “Is the CBDC the Mark of the Beast????!!” only to then proceed teaching as though it is, while at the end saying some thing like, “Well, even if it isn’t, we’re getting close!” Like that’s supposed to let you off the hook and make it all better (James 3:1-12). 

If you do these kinds of things, your actions betray what you’re really after—attention in the form of clicks and likes likely due to social media monetization. These kinds of things cause me to wonder if you really do care at all, or if you’re being deceptive on purpose. This is severely irresponsible, and that is severely an understatement.  Frankly, they just make you look silly both to Christians and the lost.

Just recently, with antisemitism burgeoning around the world, we’ve seen several instances of people marking Jews with what could quite literally be an actual marker. Here’s one example in this photo.

But for some reason, we’re stuck on computer chips as the mark of the beast. It couldn’t possibly be something written on the hand, or wrapped around the head showing allegiance to an antisemitic religion, so says the Western Church.

Right Hand (Deed), Forehead (Thought) = Committed Heart // Revelation 13:16

In any courtroom, these possibilities are sufficient evidence to cause reasonable doubt and acquit microchips, and the like, precisely because we don’t know with certainty what it is.

Furthermore, did you know that all Scripture says about the mark of the beast with regard to its economic function is that you will need it to buy or sell?

Revelation 13:16-17 (NET) He also caused everyone (small and great, rich and poor, free and slave ) to obtain a mark on their right hand or on their forehead. [17] Thus no one was allowed to buy or sell things unless he bore the mark of the beast — that is, his name or his number.

It says nothing about a cashless society. That’s a man-made invention that has to be read into the text. These verses are quite silent on the medium of exchange.

Additionally, Scripture says those who take the mark do so because they first worship the beast and his image. They worship the beast and then receive the mark. The decision of the heart to worship the beast precedes the marking.

A third angel followed the first two, declaring in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and takes the mark on his forehead or his hand,

Revelation 14:9 NET

Is the image here yet? Does someone who goes to get a vaccine pledge their heart to an antisemitic religion before doing so?

Again, please, everyone slow down. We won’t know who the False Prophet is until around the same time or after the Antichrist shows up, definitely after the ten-king kingdom exists. We won’t know what the mark actually is until the False Prophet enforces it.

Other Things We Cannot Know

In addition to the above, there are other things we cannot know. We cannot know how long “that kingdom” will be in existence before these ten kings rule it. The language in the text suggests it will be around in some form previous to them when it says these kings “will arise from that kingdom.”

Daniel 7:23-24 NET "This is what he told me: 'The fourth beast means that there will be a fourth kingdom on earth that will differ from all the other kingdoms. It will devour all the earth and will trample and crush it. [24] The ten horns mean that ten kings will arise from that kingdom. Another king will arise after them, but he will be different from the earlier ones. He will humiliate three kings.

We also cannot know how long the ten kings will rule when they finally do “arise.” This ten-king kingdom will be in power before the Antichrist “arise[s] after them” and seizes it (also 7:8).

We also cannot know how long he will be ruling the ten-king kingdom before he makes the covenant of death setting off the final seven years (Dan 9:27; Isa 28:18-19).

All this to say take a deep breath, relax, remain calm, and watch carefully and responsibly by prayerfully being in the prophetic text. When these things actually happen, we won’t have to guess about them.

Divorcing Bible Prophecy from the Geography Upon Which It Sits Leads To All Manner of Wild Speculation

Hear me. Divorcing end-time Bible prophecy from the geography upon which it sits allows us to come to any conclusion we want anywhere in the world. As a consequence of doing this, we’ve been trying to determine the correct area of the world to watch through gleaned personality traits and tyrannical ambitions rather than the actual geography written down for us in the text. On the one hand, we have the personality traits and ambitions all tyrannical leaders share. On the other hand, we have the prophetic geography the Old Testament Prophets gave us telling us where the Antichrist’s kingdom will actually reside. Ask yourself, honestly. Which do you think we should be relying on? This applies also to the mark. If it’s not coming out of the area of the world prophetic geography says it will, it’s not it.

The Handy-Dandy Guide

Read Daniel 7:24. What happens first?

The ten horns mean that ten kings will arise from that kingdom. Another king will arise after them, but he will be different from the earlier ones. He will humiliate three kings.

Daniel 7:24 NET

1. We cannot know how long “that kingdom” will be in existence before these ten kings rule it (Daniel 7:23-24).

2. We cannot know how long the ten kings will rule when they finally do “arise” (Daniel 7:8, 7:24).

3. The ten-king kingdom must exist (Daniel 7:8, 7:24).

4. Daniel’s north kingdom must exist (Daniel 11).

5. He must rise to power in this north kingdom (Daniel 7:24, 11:21-23). Simpler: No ten-king kingdom in the Middle East, no Antichrist.
   

6. We cannot know how long he will be ruling the ten-king kingdom before he makes the covenant of death setting off the final seven years (Daniel 9:27; Isaiah 28:18-19).

7. Prophetic geography places his origin in the Middle East (Daniel 11). If you don’t see a ten-king kingdom on the earth next to Israel (Joel 3:11-12; Zechariah 12:2, 14:14) with this north kingdom as part of it, the Antichrist isn’t going to be revealed.

8. The False Prophet shows up after (or around the same time as) the Antichrist, after the ten-king kingdom exists (Revelation 13:11).

9. He comes from the same area because they’re both born from the same antisemitic religion “sitting” there now (Revelation 17:3).

10. He promotes the worship of the Antichrist not himself (Revelation 13:12).

11. We won’t know what the mark of the beast actually is until the False Prophet enforces it (Revelation 13:16-17).

12. The text about the mark says nothing about a cashless society (Revelation 13:16-18). That’s a man-made invention that has to be read into it. It’s silent on the medium of exchange.

13. Those who take the mark do so because they first worship the beast and his image (Revelation 14:9). They first worship the beast then receive the mark. The decision of the heart to worship the beast precedes the marking.

14. Bonus: the Old Testament Prophets name nations, specifically, that God will judge at Christ’s return. They are all located in the Middle East and North Africa. Any nation not named in Bible prophecy is not part of the ten-king kingdom at the end, and so the Bible doesn’t speak of them. Since the Bible doesn’t speak of them, neither should we. That’s it. It’s not more complicated than that. And so while all peoples and nations will be judged (Isa 13:11; Rev 20:11-15), the final ten-king kingdom is only comprised of those nations named in Scripture. Therefore, get grounded in the prophetic geographythe OT Prophets gave us and do not go beyond the borders of the biblical, prophetic texts in your interpretation of end-time events.

Copy/paste this and keep it with you.

Prophecy is knowable. Stick to Scripture. Let the geography tell you its story. You’ll find you will no longer be overwhelmed trying to track things in areas of the world that have nothing to do with Bible prophecy like a juggler with too many objects to juggle. The geography helps bring focus and you will actually begin to see the things you’ve been longing to see. It will cut away all the peripheral, unbiblical mind-clutter, and you won’t feel like a very small hamster on a very large wheel anymore. Been there, done that. Over.

Watchmen on the Wall

There are a couple of other things I want you to consider. As students of end-time Bible prophecy, we often consider ourselves “watchmen on the wall.” If we are watchmen, God is talking about us here:

"Son of man, speak to the sons of your people and say to them, 'If I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman, and he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows on the trumpet and warns the people, then he who hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head. 'He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning; his blood will be on himself. But had he taken warning, he would have delivered his life. 'But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand.’

Ezekiel 33:2-6 NET

We should be taking this seriously. How many of us even knew this was in the Bible?

Blowing the Trumpet

God says if we who are watchmen do not blow the trumpet when we see the sword coming, the blood of the people who suffer as a result will be on us. But how can the watcher on the wall blow the trumpet to warn the people if he doesn’t know what he should be warning them about? It’s possible he could see the sword coming and never know it because he doesn’t know what to look for. 

If this is truly our calling, God just doesn’t give us this charge so that we can do whatever we like with the prophetic texts, or come to any conclusion that we want. A watchman is to be vigilant at his post, which for us includes carefully and prayerfully reading and studying like the Bereans before us (Acts 17:10-11). We are not to be lazy, nor reckless, nor accepting of everything we see and hear unable to filter out the ridiculous and the absurd. If we’re ever unable to filter out the ridiculous and the absurd, perhaps we need to climb down from the wall?

We are not to sit with our backs to the wall relying on old reports saying everything is okay, or there’s trouble coming when there isn’t. It’s our job to recognize it.

And why not ask the watchman next to you whether he sees what you see in the distance (Pro 27:17)? Discuss it with other sharp watchers who are humbly and earnestly studying.

What Are Your Spiritual Gifts? Should You Be Teaching?

We must also recognize, and this is so important, that not everyone has the gift of teaching. It’s so easy to set up a social media channel and give yourself a voice and start teaching the Bible even though you may not have been equipped, or even called, to do so. What are your spiritual gifts? We’re not all given the same ones. 

Ephesians 4:11-16 (NET) It was he who gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, [12] to equip the saints for the work of ministry, that is, to build up the body of Christ, [13] until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God — a mature person, attaining to the measure of Christ's full stature. [14] So we are no longer to be children, tossed back and forth by waves and carried about by every wind of teaching by the trickery of people who craftily carry out their deceitful schemes. [15] But practicing the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ, who is the head. [16] From him the whole body grows, fitted and held together through every supporting ligament. As each one does its part, the body grows in love.

With our gifts, we are to build up the body of Christ in the knowledge Christ making sure we don’t become the children, or the wind and waves tossing them about.

One practical way you might identify your gifts is to become involved in various ministries at your church. Some will be for you. Some won’t. The pastoral leadership at my church encourages this for this reason. There are also tests you can take much like personality or career tests. Ask your pastor about this.

James, the brother of Jesus, opens his treatise of our inability to control our tongues by telling us not all of us should become Bible teachers. We should be taking this seriously as well.

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, because you know that we will be judged more strictly.

James 3:1 NET

A Serious Closing Question

Dear Christian,

There is a very spiritually unhealthy race to be the first, the one who identifies prophetic things, the consequences of which are causing great harm and destruction. Please, resist this temptation and stay away from these kinds of teachers. Say no to having your ears tickled and your heart blown about by sensational fiction, both ridiculous and absurd, and get into the Word yourself (2 Tim 4:3; Eph 4:14). You will be glad you did. 

But if, after you have been exposed to the things in this article, you’re going to ignore them and still point fingers at world leaders and cry “Antichrist!”, I have a serious question for you to consider. Will you also be the one who cries “Christ!” while leading people out into the wilderness or into the inner rooms because you’re not paying attention to the details?

Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe him. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Remember, I have told you ahead of time. So then, if someone says to you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out, or 'Look, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe him. For just like the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

Matthew 24:23-28 NET

A brother, sincerely.

Yes, it is Unsealed, the official podcast of Wings of the Eagle. I am Christopher Mantei, your host and your friend. And I'd like to hear from you if you're watching or listening right now. Even if it's not right now, if it's in the future, you can tell me you were there too. Just go ahead and leave a comment and say hi. Hey, there's our Sister Bond servant checking in. What's up? If you're new, let me know where you're from, where you're watching from. Any questions, comments, concerns, and whatever else, perfectly welcome. Just go ahead and type it into wherever you're watching, whether that be YouTube or Facebook or X or Instagram. or even the end time church app yes end time dot app will get you to your app store directly and uh give you access to the free christian application that we have invented for you for the church by the church what get out of town vitor what is happening brother blessings to you man Long time. Awesome. Wow. Praise the Lord. Yeah. Vitor is a brother in Portugal. Well, he's from Portugal. I assume he's still living there. uh let me know um if you are that's awesome fantastic to see you man fantastic um thank you for saying so anyway guys real quick before we get going as always please share this video please just hit the share button on whatever you're watching it on and uh that would be a huge help um it'll just get more people involved and more eyeballs on it, right? And that's what we're all about here. And obviously, we're about the gospel. uh as christians that's what we do um wings of the eagle is um kind of uh we're refocusing a little bit more sharply in this uh new year new now for four months uh we're refocusing on basically the areas of we're always going to want to connect with the church throughout the world we're always going to want to be with Israel and preach the gospel to Jews and Muslims. But specifically now we're going to drill down on eschatology, which is nothing new. That just means proper end times understanding from the scriptures, not from our own minds. Israel, again, not a change at all. want to support and staying with them every way we can. Um, and just teach properly again about them and about God's plan with them and the unseen realm. Um, because those three elements, uh, I agree and pastor Jake McCandless and others who have spoken to the past few months agree, uh, that these are the three main deficiencies or, um, uh, things that the church is unaware of, unprepared for, untaught on, uneducated in, and we need to do that ASAP, right? Okay, so under that last heading of the unseen realm, is obviously things we can't see on our normal fleshly day-to-day life. That means you should know, if you're a Christian, you should readily accept and understand that there is a... a realm, a world, a part of this world, however you want to look at it. Um, that is very real, but is unseen. You cannot see with your fleshly eyeballs, but there it is many, many examples in the scripture, obviously. And so we can't run from that, even if it confuses us. And, uh, because at some point here, it's going to break through and, um, We need to be ready to at least discuss it because we're not. And that's why I want to bring this topic up for you guys today, which is I believe it is time. I've been in prayer for a while about it and built some infrastructure, a little, to facilitate discussion among all denominations of Christians, all denominations. it's time for a Christian council on UAPs or UFOs. A council in a, I'm thinking of a very old school literal sense of like a giant table, council of Nicaea, right? Something like that, where representatives or whatever from all the major Christian denominations would get together and Like the Lord told Isaiah, come let us reason together. Let's reason this out. Let's talk about this. Because God is speaking on this. And it's really the Christian world, the evangelical, quote unquote, Christian world that loves the Bible and loves hanging out with each other, but really doesn't interact with any other parts of the world. It's like a whole separate universe from, let's say, the UFO world. And obviously, different religious beliefs, we can process that. well, you're a Muslim, you're a Hindu, I'm a Christian, okay, so we'll see what we can, maybe we can facilitate conversation, but this is not that. the leading of the Lord on this is we are not prepared. None of us are. We're not ready for what's coming as far as the unseen realm. And that doesn't necessarily mean demons, evil, fallen angels only. It could mean that. I mean, they're there. But so are other things. Possibly God's angels and Different aspects of the creation that we have not seen yet. It's possible we're going to be seeing these things. And maybe you can call them entities or forms of life. Or maybe they're just types of transportation or technology or whatever. Right? So as we and we've this is not new. It's not I'm not prophesying about it. It's happening now. It's been happening for years. It's coming more to the forefront now and it's becoming more in our face. And at a certain point, it's just going to blow up. OK, I mean, the subject is just going to blow up in the church's face. And who's going to be ready for it? Okay, so that's the thought behind this council. Ideally, again, not to downgrade, denigrate anybody. You're an individual Christian. Obviously, we want to talk to you too. You can look at the bottom of the screen right now if you're watching. Have you ever had an experience or a UFO or an unexplainable thing that you would fall into the supernatural or unseen realm? Go to unsealedpodcast.com, and there's a form at the bottom. You can tell me about your experience. I'm not going to make fun of you. I'm not going to blab to the world, but you can tell a pastor about it, and you can feel secure, okay? Anyway, a lot of folks just need that, just that first step. So yes, there's ideas. Sure, we want to have regular Zoom meetings or something like that just with regular folks. But I feel like, I mean, at some point, yes, the Church A or the Catholic Church may have a position on this officially or whatever. But at a certain point, we, the church, we're going to have to put aside our hats about, oh, well, my denomination says this or mine says that and say, forget all of that stuff. I'm accountable to the Lord myself. For me and my family, right? And something's happening where my church is not prepared. We have not talked about this. Okay, let's say, for an example, you know, something happens where, I don't know. Turns out that there is some kind of evil intent or it's an evil angel or whatever demonic thing in this UFO phenomenon. It comes out and there's just evil somehow. And we all know it's evil. Okay. What are we doing about that? For example, a lot of people like what would we do? What would the church do? We need a council. to talk these things out as the body. I don't know what else we can do. There's the reflexive, really stupid idea that's apparently happening, from what I can tell, in the government of my country, of the United States, there are conservative Christians in the Congress and in the Pentagon in the armed forces that believe, maybe they know more than I do, maybe they don't, but they believe that this UFO, UAP phenomenon is demonic. And that's a quote. I would definitely take anyone to task in the world who says it's demonic because I know for a fact it's not demonic because demons don't do that. We know what demons are. Anyways, point being, they think it's evil, okay? So by talking about it, by disclosing, we want disclosure. I want disclosure. Full, full on, right? Just like complete, it's a moral thing. It's a Christian thing. You can't have it both ways. You want the truth or you don't. And the Christian should never be afraid of the truth, ever. because Jesus is the truth. So they say it's demonic or evil, and therefore they don't want to bring it out to the public. That's the solution? To keep it a secret? How is you keeping it a secret going to prevent evil from doing its thing? I mean, that's really not... That makes no sense at all. That makes no sense logically, or spiritually and it's not biblical that's for sure don't hide behind christianity if you think that you not talking about evil spirits are going to make or whatever evil angels whatever you think you you're not talking about them is going to make them go away the name of jesus is our power doesn't matter what they try to do do you do you have faith or not right that's what I would ask do we have faith or not why are you afraid of anything My hunch is that these, however many there are, and hopefully there aren't that many, but there might be, those who are not talking about it and don't want disclosure in the... Again, this is just the United States side. I don't know about any other governments. But apparently it's true in the UK as well. But there are conservative Christians who don't want to talk about it. But maybe they don't know nothing. Maybe they're just being lied to. Maybe they don't know anything more than we do. They just heard this or that, or they've seen a video, and oh, that doesn't look right. Even classified stuff, right? Oops, I've seen that. There's a creature, or there's a flying thing in the air. That must be evil. What? Have you talked to the thing? Have you seen evil come from the craft? What are we talking about? I think it's more like they've been conditioned to say that. They've been convinced by a non-believer, by a non-Christian, most likely, to take that position. Because, look... We're talking about the national security state, at least again here. We're talking about counterintelligence officials. Okay, these guys and gals are literally paid to lie and to find out what works best in someone's psyche to get them to agree to what the government wants. That's their job. to find out what works with another human to get them to go along with what they want. So if they don't want the UAP UFO thing to come out, if they don't want disclosure, then they will tell a Christian person whatever they must, true or not, doesn't have to be true at all, but they will tell them what they need to tell them to convince them to not disclose it. And if that means telling them it's evil, then that's what they're going to tell them. Right? Think about it. For these folks, and I'm not trying to say they're all non-Christians who are in the know. I have no idea. And by the way, hello, I've got some awesome feedback here. I'll get to you in just one second. The folks who are in the security agencies, who are in the intelligence community, in the intelligence community, you know how many, just in America, what was the number? I think 18 or 14 or something like that. Nearly 20 different intelligence agencies, CIA, DIA. There's so many. NSA, on and on and on and on and on. And that's their job. To keep things secret is their thing. Protect national security. Sorry for the air quotes, but that's what they say all the time. National security will harm national security. Sources and methods will expose sources and methods. The words that mean nothing to prevent things from coming out. So anyways, yes, they will lie. They do it all the time. That's kind of their job. So anyway, what I'm saying is we will be very wise as Christians to discuss this among ourselves in a council format with leaders. Yes, representative from the Catholic Church. Yes, representative from the Orthodox, from the Lutherans, from the this and that, all the big denominations and the non-denominationals, the independent Baptists, I don't know. Just get around a table and say, okay, what's really going on here? Let's not be afraid to tell the truth, to say God is still in control, say that Jesus still rose from the dead, and yet there's this other thing here that we've never really thought about, and now we have to deal with it. because we're going to lose people to apostasy left and right. They're going to leave the faith. They're going to leave the faith. Because their church never taught on it, never thought about it, made fun of people who talked about seeing a UFO or whatever, and they're out. They're gone. They're done. Now their soul's in trouble. And maybe now your soul as their pastor or their shepherd is in trouble because you were negligent and you didn't care. to be teachable on this, or to realize that you had pride, or that you weren't listening to the Holy Spirit. I don't know. Just saying all these things are swirling around. So that's why we need a counsel. Hey, bless the Lord. Oh, cool. Hey, man. Awesome. Awesome. Thank you so much. Oh, cool. Yeah, become a YouTube member. That's an easy, super easy way to Support Wings of the Eagle. Okay, so let's get to comments here. I'll shut up. Glass is on. Bond server says, I don't think we will ever be totally ready, but we can be as informed as possible. I agree. I agree. But I'm talking about even after things happen. So it's not even like we have a prophecy of this. OK, we know this is coming. We know the Great Tribulation is coming. We know Jacob's trouble. We know the abomination of desolation. We know certain things are coming, but it's still in the future. So we can kind of sort of at least be studying that, be preparing, talking about that. But these are things like even after they happen, let's say something happens tomorrow. some big UAP revelation, and to talk about it after it happens, because we've still got a long time to go before the Lord comes back, potentially, right? So even after it's coming, as it's coming out. So prepare. I understand the initial preparation maybe is not going to be there, but as we go, we're going to need to get together. I really, I am utterly convinced. Marisol, what is up with you, my sister? On Facebook, she says, perhaps demonic as in evil. Yeah, I'm sure that's what they mean. You're talking about the folks who say that UFOs are demonic. It's the same word. They're just substituting the word. I agree with you. I agree with you. Most times, that's exactly what it is. Yep. Yep. Um, bond servant, they won't divulge the truth might be a power control thing. No doubt. I mean, that's absolutely 1000% part of it, if not all of it. Yep. And remember, in this particular topic, again, just being an American on this. I am an American. I consider myself patriotic. I kind of like it here. I mean, I love what the Lord has blessed us with and the power and influence and money and all that stuff is, why wouldn't you be, you know? I'm a fan, okay? But they've been... There has been a provable... fact of a cover-up to keep the truth out from the public since at least the mid-40s. That is a fact. It is documented. I don't know. We don't want to hear it or whatever, but it's a fact. So if that's not power or control, I don't know what it is. No, multi-generational now. Multi- administrations doesn't matter who the president is but doesn't matter what party is in control doesn't matter you know big companies come and go they rise and fall there's it's a unelected because they think we can't handle it they need to be in control this small group over these saps the special access projects and all these rules and regulations and deniabilities and all this stuff anyway it's a fact and power and control that's that's a big part of it Be toward God's control. That's right. No need to fear the truth. That's right. Hiding behind closed doors is just nonsense. Agreed. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yep, it is nonsense. Why would we be afraid of anything? This is what kills me about this whole idea that we're not going to let it come out because it's demonic and it's bad to talk about it. I mean, that's literally what the idea is. We should never let it get out because what? Because what? I'm sorry, but are you even a Christian? You're afraid of the devil? What's the matter with you? And not even the devil, right? Some underlings, apparently. Come on. And again, I'm not saying that this is a fact. I don't know. I don't know. Let's just say that it is, right? I'm just saying, what if, even if it is that, the worst case scenario is it's evil and demonic and there's ministries that I used to, you know, be a part of are saying, making videos about how it's all demonic. I mean, that's just stupid. It's too early to say that at all. But so what? Like, what difference does that make? We're still going to have to deal with it. How are we going to deal with it? You can't cast away a UFO, you know, like a demon. Can you? I've never seen that. It doesn't help that many alien contact stories are horrible and seem demonic. That's true. There is definitely an element to that. But they're not all horrible. just being honest. Sometimes, again, depends what you're reading, okay? And this is all just eyewitnesses, right? Witness accounts, this happened to me. Assuming they're telling the truth, I kind of like to assume that I believe people who experience things, even if they may not be totally correct in what they experience, something happened. I do believe that by default. um that something happened and yeah a lot of the times it's horrible and seems demonic but sometimes it's not sometimes they're just they feel great and they're taken someplace beautiful and they're told some beautiful stuff and then they're returned what's that could that still be evil yeah it could could it be good could it be god doing that it could Or maybe there's a neutral aspect to it that we don't like to think about. Neutral. Not God and not the devil. Not demonic and not God-side. Another part of creation or nature that we haven't contacted really yet or don't know about or how to access it. I don't know. But yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I mean, I'm thinking of, have you seen the movie, Contact? Communion, right? Very famous book and movie. Whitley Strieber, who has a very terrible experience. Okay, more than one. By the way, but the initial one where, yes, he was, you know, forcibly, again, according to him, he was forcibly taken and he saw these things and they experimented or they raped him, basically. It's terrible. And they didn't seem to have any feelings about it. You know, no remorse or whatever. And he's like, this sucks. But they continue to make contact, apparently, again, according to him, even to this day. And he is not afraid. Like, he knows something is happening, and he's not going to classify them as... He just doesn't know. He is of the mind that there's more to this than we're even thinking. Like, it has to do with life and death. The afterlife he's talking about. I mean, it gets really wild. Anyway, yes, I agree with you, Bondservant. That's part of the reason why. The council idea is to make a corporate church statement to settle folks. I don't think so. I don't know that. Nope. At this point, it's literally just a meeting, ongoing. Maybe there's a statement at some point, or maybe there's an ongoing series of statements as Christians generally. As Christians, we believe we should do this. This is what Christians should be doing or acting like or whatever, accepting, rejecting. I don't know. Maybe. I'm not there yet, though. I'm not at that point at all. Right now I'm just, as is common for me throughout my life or my adult life, is making a place available or facilitating communication, facilitating conversations to set the table for them to come, for all of us to come together. That's all it is right now. Marisol says, I thought the same thing. A possible a creation we know nothing about. It is possible. It is. Like, again, we read, I'm teaching through Ezekiel at End Time Church on Monday nights. You all are invited to get. be there 8 p.m. Mondays or afterwards. It's all on YouTube and on our Roku channel and our app and all that stuff. But yeah, part of that is, I just finished chapter one, and there's a lot of non-human creations that God has made that are really crazy and wacky and frankly scary. If you saw one of the cherub, one of these creatures that was under the throne of God or whatever that image is in Ezekiel 1, and these wheels within wheels, and eyeballs covering everything, and wings, and all that. If you saw that, would you be at peace? Would you be, oh, hallelujah? Or would you be screaming your head off, thinking it's evil? Think about it. On sermon, personally, I've seen a couple... couple angels and wasn't afraid did I know about this we might have to talk offline there bondservant um I'm also inclined to believe it's more of a dimensional rift considering ezekiel's vision for example well right it might be well in other words if but what does that mean I mean I'm with you but I don't know what that means really I mean, I believe that it's very possible that there are other dimensions around us. And if you believe the thinking of the theories about this, they're actually curled in a smaller space and quantum areas and all this stuff, like other things in there or whether they be life forms or something else. Can living things pass? Can they access these other dimensions and travel? through them what does that mean okay does that mean you live in the other dimensions or does that mean you're just using them to travel from one place to another those are different questions I mean different realities different facts all right anyways so I would love to get to the bottom of it uh vitor the truth sets one free that's right neglecting to disclose the truth equates to keeping people in mind shackles that's correct yes brother Mm-hmm. And what's the greatest, what does Paul say, the fear of death? I think God takes away that fear. Literally, what are you afraid of? What are we afraid of? Of dying? Being tortured? We've got that from mankind. I mean, we do that to ourself. No problem. It's been happening since Eden, right? UFOs are not going to increase that, are they? Or present some new kind of danger? Other than tricking people, maybe deceiving, and the church now becomes lost and stuff like that. That's a problem. But as far as what they can do, there's nothing. What can you do? Yes, be set free. I agree. Having said that, for the podcast audio audience, Vitor says, having said that, one could make the argument. that coming out with the truth could be more than what people can handle in their minds, so they control the narrative. That, again, yes, is probably what's happening, or that was the original thought. The documents pretty much confirm that, the documents that have come out and have been proven, that that was the thought, and it might still be the thought. Originally, the 40s and 50s, we've got to keep this under wraps. The people will freak out. I forget the exact phrases that were used, but something like societal collapse. It would blow everyone's mind to such a degree to find out what these things are that we're finding and that we're hiding that society itself would collapse. That's... at least what some of them are afraid of. And still to this day, some of them do still. Yep. Yep, man. That's what this is for. That's what a council would be doing, right? Just throwing it out there. Mokul, my brother says, Yeah, and we talked about this more than once, I'm pretty sure. Jesus travels via clouds from heavens to the earth. He does. He does. I think we did the scripture on this. Was it last Monday night? Not this week, but the week before? I think I covered some of them. Yeah. He does. And if he does, wouldn't a lower creature, one of his creation, wouldn't they at least have to do that, if not more? Wouldn't they need that? system you know what I mean if not even uh something more intricate I don't know um is there a q a tomorrow at 4 p.m that's the plan sir yes yes I'll be probably right here I don't know yep that's the plan um carrie what is happening this is my sister uh locally I totally agree thank you and I'm here finally well you are good to go don't worry you can always rewind too um I love it I'm not sure what you're agreeing with but I love it I'll take it. Bon Servant says, the orbs have tripped me up. Going through things, et cetera, that makes me seriously consider the supernatural something. It's Nephilim and all that stuff. Okay, so if you don't know what she's talking about, they're orbs, meaning they're circles, and they look metallic, but sometimes they don't look metallic. Sometimes they look like light bulbs. Or maybe they're metal-ish with light on top of them or coming from inside. Who knows? But yes, there have, I mean, this is not a theory. There's video of these types of things. Orbs are traveling together in formation. They make triangles. They look like they're chasing stuff. There's some videos of orbs tracking down other types of UFOs. like the Tic Tac shaped or the, you know what I mean? The saucer, the cigars, guys, and then the orbs show up. Like they're not on the same team. It appears at times there's that. And then, yes, there's, again, you can see if you go look, orbs will, and there's a lot of reporting on it and witnesses and things for years that these types of things happens, but I've just, you can see it. On that Skinwalker Ranch show, an orb goes into a mountainside and then comes out. Like it's not even there. Like it comes in at the top, you know, at a distance. It goes down into the mountain, into a mesa, basically, right? And then it comes as if it never altered course at all. It comes right out through the front. So why would that mean Nephilim? I don't know. I don't know why that would mean evil at all. All that would mean is, to me, whatever that is, whether that's a drone of some kind, like somebody's piloting it, or whether something is inside it, or maybe it has an intelligence of its own, I don't know, that it can manipulate like the Lord did, walking through walls. So that's a good argument for dimensional manipulation or quantum travel or something like you're going in between atoms or I don't know. But you're seeing things like that. You see them literally there one second and then gone the next, not fly away gone, just poof, gone. Gone, gone. What's that? Okay. That doesn't say good or evil to me. It's very neutral. It's something, though. Okay, anyway. Another thought is that when the pit is opened in Revelation, Revelation 9. Fifth trumpet, right? And other stuff seems more like Ezekiel stuff that you can't explain in natural terms. Yeah, I mean, we know that's part of the story, right? We're talking about the seven trumpets and the fifth trumpet and this abyss being opened up and things flying out of it, and they're harmful and they're demonic, yes, and they're led by a demon or a fallen angel or something, king of the bottomless pit. Yeah, that's demonic. We know, yes, for sure, but we also know that we're not there yet. We're not there yet. We're not at the fifth trumpet. So just because we see things that maybe kind of sort of look in that realm, does that necessarily automatically mean they're evil? It might. Don't get me wrong, guys. I really don't have an opinion on it. I'm just trying to get you not to have an opinion on it either as far as making a moral judgment that they're good or evil. All I'm saying is, from what I can tell, we don't know diddly about that yet. Maybe there's more than one group. Maybe the good and the bad are accessing these things. Maybe there's a third party, like I said before. Maybe there's neutral. Maybe it's actual another species from another world. It's still possible. I'm not sure if that's the My preferred explanation, like, I don't think that's the best evidence right now, but, I mean, it could. Psalm 68.5 in a complete Jewish Bible. Sing to God, sing praises to his name, extol him who rides on the clouds. His name, Yahweh, glad in his presence. Right, the cloud rider, that's what he's called. That's what he always... um has been known as right way back to the exodus and all that stuff yeah so jesus and god himself that's jesus um he definitely participates in that kind of travel um cool idea to envision yeah yep Bonservant says, well, my guardian angel's name is George. I think I'll have to ask him if he can divulge. Hey, you know what? If you have that kind of relationship, if you really do have that, ask. I say ask away. Why not? Anyways, guys. Okay, so that's the thought. That's the process. I want to continue to hear from you. And I believe I got a fly here because I got a knock on my door. So anyway, guys, till next time. Love you so much. This is Pastor Manti. Please get in touch with me. Go to unsealedpodcast.com and let's get to work on this Council of Christians on the UAP issue. Bye-bye.
