Greater Is He

Shining the Light on the Nefarious Agenda of the Illuminati (from those in the know)

One minute, I held the key.
Next, the walls were closed on me.
I discovered that my castles stand,
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand.
Viva La Vida – Coldplay

One night, I had a very realistic, long-lasting dream about a man with a secret double life. He was a wealthy businessman by day but was a top-ranking member of the Illuminati (the secret society that rules the world) by night. In my dream, he woke up at 3 a.m. and quietly made his way into a concealed, high-tech room to join a call with other masters of the universe and captains of industry. Those on the call were plotting and scheming about the end of the world.

In my dreamy haze, I even developed a plot point: this man was conflicted and exhausted. He wanted to leave the Illuminati but didn’t know how. But then his secret landline rang, changing the trajectory of his entire life.

The whole dream reminded me of the famous Coldplay song (lyrics above). The man in my dream realized he indeed ruled the world (or at least his corner of it), but his castle was built on pillars of salt and sand.

And then I woke up!

The dream came out of nowhere, and I sensed it might be from God and that I could weave it into a story that would entertain, educate, and inspire. I was also excited about the challenge of researching the elusive Illuminati and answering several questions about it that had been swirling inside my head for decades. I was also hoping to provide a roadmap for those who would like to leave this organization (if that were even possible).

After several months of on-and-off research and chasing so many rabbits down different holes, until almost all of the underground rabbit-trail tunnels connected for me in a way that made the most sense, I present to you my ever-evolving and imperfect definition of the Illuminati, as follows:

The Illuminati (also called the System, Luciferian Brotherhood, Cabal, etc.) is a highly secretive group of Luciferians (Satanists) who have important positions of authority and influence in areas of culture, politics, world governance, communication, education, entertainment, banking, and legal and illegal business pursuits.  They work at the behest of Lucifer in a System whose first goal is world domination and whose end goal is to take over God’s throne and rule the universe. Much of what the Illuminati does is criminal, disgusting, and immoral. Still, due to programming, fear, blackmail, bloodline, or an intense desire for fame, fortune, power, and influence, the members of the Illuminati continue to advance the goals of the System. However, many secretly want out but feel trapped, are uncomfortable with their group’s goals, or wish to dismantle their organization.  Lucifer, a relentless and cruel taskmaster, is busy organizing his System to install the Antichrist and to form a one-world government, financial, and religious system.  According to insiders, Lucifer is behaving in ways that suggest we are very close to the end times. According to several Biblical passages (Daniel 9:26, 7:25, 12:7; Revelation 11:2-3, 12:6, 12:14, 13:5; and Matthew 24:21), Lucifer is given a 3.5-year window to rule the world, but it will be marked by destruction, deception, and suffering for the whole earth.  Some aspects of the agenda of the Illuminati can be slowed down or stopped altogether by human free-will resistance and the power of prayer. Although Lucifer believes he will somehow find a spiritual loophole and “win” in the end, he will most certainly be defeated at the final battle, called Armageddon.

In the end, Jesus wins.

Because Greater is He.

Before we really dig in, as with many of my posts, I must provide important qualifiers:

First, this post is the culmination of months spent slowly putting together a used, cheap, 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle I purchased from the local occult bookstore, only to find that 300 pieces are missing from the box. As I survey the 700 pieces I’ve been able to assemble, I see that the puzzle depicts a clichéd group of scary-looking people in black costumes, sitting around a table, as if they’re making devious plans.  However, most of the pieces that actually identify these people are missing, as are the important papers outlining the specifics of their evil plans, which are scattered across the table (this is the old-school cabal, where they still write things down on paper). So, while I can get the basic gist of the puzzle (and after you read this article, you can too), it’s unsatisfying because I can’t complete it. 

Ah, the jigsaw puzzle of the Illuminati. It was not possible to find every missing piece, but I tried my best to paint an overall picture! PC: Image generated by WordPress AI.

Second, I have come to this well-thought-out and well-researched post “by faith,” because I really and truly don’t know anything with 100 percent ironclad accuracy about the Illuminati.  But to be fair, the whole point of the Illuminati is that no one will ever know for sure, because it is so incredibly highly secretive.

Third, I do not possess first-hand knowledge about the Illuminati, and I cannot confirm any of the information I will present to you. Rather, I feel more comfortable stating that my role is that of a Tenacious Collator, who collects and combines research on the Illuminati into a single, easy-to-access place, so that people can continue their own research and formulate their own opinions on this elusive organization. 

Now that my qualifiers are out of the way, I can finally present the following post on the ultimate secret society that rules the world, based on the testimonies of defectors, whistleblowers, survivors, and escapees from the Luciferian Brotherhood System.  I probably reviewed or examined approximately 20 to 30 testimonies from former members spanning 50 years, mainly via YouTube, podcasts, and online research.  Additionally, I thoroughly read several books on the topic in general, high-level Satanism in particular, as well as many defectors’ personal testimonies, to round out my research. I had to sift through a lot of material and pull out what I felt was the most accurate about a complex subject. I looked for both consistency and credibility – both from person to person, position to position, testimony to testimony, and generation to generation, as well as what appeared to be accurate about highly adept Satanism from former members.

This lengthy, bottom-lined, fast-moving article will be organized by topic, which will include the following:

  • Hints and allegations of the existence of the Illuminati
  • High-level definitions from former members
  • The Illuminati WHO: Lucifer, Demon Generals, Mothers of Darkness, the Antichrist, the bloodline families, and the children of the Illuminati
  • The Illuminati WHAT: testimonies from those in the know, plus several infiltrated organizations
  • The Illuminati WHEN: their focus is the end times
  • The Illuminati WHERE: underground places, important locations, etc.
  • The Illuminati WHY: why they do what they do
  • The Illuminati HOW MANY: how many people are a part of this group
  • The Illuminati HOW: how to effectively thwart their evil agenda by the power of Christian prayer
  • Closing Thoughts and a generous P.S. section

Hints and Allegations of the Illuminati:

The following quotes come from those who allegedly possess (or possessed, as some have passed away) first-hand knowledge of the Illuminati. 

Let’s start at the very top of the food chain with a quote from a member of one of the alleged Founding Families (if you will) of the Illuminati.

David Rockefeller:

“Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political structure-one world, if you will.  If that’s the charge, I stand guilty and am proud of it.”

-David Rockefeller, from his book Memoirs, page 405.  (ITI p. 215.)

New York City Mayor John Hylan:

“The real menace is the invisible government….at the head of this octopus is the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and…the international bankers…who virtually run the U.S. government for their own selfish purposes.”

-John Hylan, Mayor of New York. (ITI p. 235.)

James Warburg:

“We shall have world government…the question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest.”

-James Paul Warburg, son of the founder of the Federal Reserve, speaking in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1950. (ITI p. 240.) A one-world governmental system is one of the Illuminati’s main goals.

David Rothkopf:

“A global elite has emerged…that such a group exists is irrefutable. Heads of state, CEO’s, media barons, billionaires, top military commanders, even terrorist leaders and master criminals, meet the above criteria for membership.”

-David Rothkopf, who worked for an alleged member of the Illuminati, Henry Kissinger. This quote is from his book Superclass, which explores a small group of people who rule the world. (ITI p. 242.)

Edward Snowden:

“The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything. With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting. If I wanted to see your emails or your wife’s phone, all I have to do is use intercepts. I can get your emails, passwords, phone records, and credit cards. I don’t want to live in a society that does these sort of things… I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am willing to support or live under.”

-Edward Snowden, former contractor for the NSA and CIA (source: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden)

Edward Snowden leaked that the NSA was spying on everyone without warrants and violating the Fourth Amendment by intercepting laptop computers and then fitting them with special spy software, intercepting webcams, collecting naked photos of people to use for blackmail, and recording phone calls, among many other nefarious activities.  (ITI p. 251-253.)

I included Snowden’s quote because it is thought that the Illuminati has been setting up a system where everyone can be tracked, traced, and data-based.  And although this quote does not point to a secret cabal that rules the world, it shows that people high up in power are spying on the rest of us.  That, and according to author and researcher Veronica Swift, the NSA is heavily infiltrated by the Illuminati. (AIP p. 198.)

President George Washington:

President George Washington himself mentions in a letter that he wrote that the diabolical doctrines of the Illuminati had been spreading via certain Free Mason lodges, and that it concerned him, because it “separated people from their government.”  The entire quote and a link to the actual letter are in the P.S. section for all you history nerds. (ITI p. 245.)

George Washington actually mentions in a letter that the Illuminati had “diabolical doctrines,” and they were spreading via certain Free Mason lodges! P.C. WordPress AI images.

Finally, an honorable mention goes to the Epstein Files, which have “Illuminati” written all over them.  A bunch of rich and powerful people on an island, having sex with children, with hints of other evil activities and connections with world leaders, all under the veil of secrecy?  That’s pretty much the garbage heap of the Illuminati in a nutshell.

That being said, it would take me weeks to deep dive into these files to form a comprehensive overview, so I will have to table that for now. 

Ok, Heather…so a group of evil people might possibly run the world. So what?  Why should I care?  Why should I bother to read the remainder of this way-too-long article when I could spend the next ten minutes doomscrolling? Yawn.

In my humble opinion, you should care because this small group of people who rule the world is leading, lulling, and deceiving you into ultimately accepting a one-world leader, a one-world government, a religious system, and a monetary system.  If you accept the Antichrist (who is at the highest level of this evil cabal) and receive his mark so you can buy and sell, your eternal soul is at stake. I don’t want you to be separated from God for all eternity.  So please, even if you feel that this topic does not affect your day-to-day, give yourself a few minutes to read this article, and then you can decide for yourself.

Now let’s transition to some top-of-mind definitions from those in the know.

High-Level Definitions of the Illuminati:

Veronica Swift, author of An Illuminati Primer:

“The Illuminati (also called the System, the Luciferian Brotherhood, the Cabal, and the Deep State, etc.) is organized a bit like a company. It’s a hidden system, by necessity, because what they do is frankly amoral, illegal, disgusting, and evil. A harsh and rigid veil of secrecy is the way that this group has survived for so many years. Most of their members programmed, which is essentially via torture, to create memory compartments held by amnesic barriers and demonic spirits.  The System is an income-generating organization with a religious foundation. They make money through human trafficking, drug running, gun running, gambling, and other illegal, immoral, and nefarious pursuits.  What they do best, however, is keep their operations highly secret.  In addition, the System is based on an inversion of Christianity.  Satan likes to mock God and does this by taking Christian principles and turning them upside down.” (AIP, chapter 1.)

Hard stop! 

Veronica realizes that many people don’t believe in God or the Devil, rendering her book (or a belief in the overall concept of the Illuminati) meaningless.  From this point of view, she says the following:

“Wait a minute.  Satan’s not real, good and bad angels are imagination, right? Not in this System.  Maybe in your religious institution, maybe in your life, he is a fictional character, but not in the lives of the people in this Illuminati Brotherhood System.  To them, he is very real. You don’t have to change your mind; you can hold whatever beliefs you want and still make it through this book just fine.” (AIP p. 25)

I would agree with Veronica and only change the word ‘book’ to ‘blog post.’

Here is an excellent and short overview of An Illuminati Primer: An Illuminati Primer: Understanding The System Through the Eyes of its Whistleblowers – The Duke Report Books (Beta)

Zachary King, a former High Wizard of the Illuminati:

“The Illuminati is made up of the world’s political and financial elite. They are in charge of assassinations, currency control, population control, world governments, and world entertainment. Satan wants complete control over the world.  He wants everyone in the world to turn from God. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through population control…think abortion. Think sterilization.”

Kerth Barker, a former child sex slave who interacted with very high-level Illuminati:

“The Illuminati is a secret society of wealthy aristocrats who use covert and criminal methods to increase their wealth and power. They justify their criminal tactics to eventually create an all-powerful, utopian, worldwide government. This global government can only come into power through the rejection of the basic values of Christianity, along with the loss of our innate rights and freedoms granted by God and ensured by the Constitution of our sovereign reign. Above these 13 known Illuminati bloodline families are the unseen top-ranking Illuminati leaders who make up the Invisible Capstone.  These unknown leaders are masters of the occult. They are primarily concerned with occult rituals that give them power over their immediate subordinates, who are some of the most powerful persons in the world, which include: the leaders who control the central banks, the United Nations, the Universities, the newspapers, the television networks, Hollywood, the corporations, and influential non-profit organizations (such as the Rhodes Scholarship, Planned Parenthood, the Fabian Society, etc.).” (DTI, page 9-10.)

Svali, a former high-ranking Head Programmer of the Illuminati:

“The goal of the Illuminati is to impose Illuminati rule on all world nations, and one way that they plan to do that is to create a world government, one that supersedes and controls any national government. The United Nations was created to help overcome nationalism and pride in one’s country, which the Illuminati considers to be a barrier to their plans. The UN is a forerunner to the Supreme World Council, which will be installed when the plans for a “One World” society are further along.” (AIP p. 186.)

Fritz Springmeier, an old-school Illuminati whistleblower:

Ultimately, [their goal is] to bring in what people have termed the New World Order with a man who will hold the world’s attention and carry the title ‘The Antichrist.’. The long-range goal of this is to eventually create an entire planet of mind-controlled slaves that can be controlled by one supercomputer. When I say long-range, it’s not going to take them long to get us there at the rate they are going. They are manipulating our thoughts and our attitudes, and steering us, herding us… in the direction they want us to go.” (source: The Root Problem: Illuminati or Jews? – henrymakow.com)

Now, let’s transition to the main bulk of this article as we peek into the who, what, when, where, why, and how of this elusive System.

For context, the who and what sections will be lengthier, and the when, where, why, and how sections will be shorter.

The Illuminati – WHO:

The Illuminati consists of three groups of human/entities: one group of evil spiritual beings, with Lucifer (Satan) at the top, and two groups of human beings.

Lucifer:

The Illuminati works like a pyramid-shaped hierarchy, with Lucifer and his mighty demons at the very top.

Lucifer is the most powerful fallen Angel, and the enemy of God Almighty and His followers.  He is at the center of the Illuminati, and everyone in the Illuminati ultimately serves him. 

Lucifer was cast out of heaven for rebelling against God due to pride and his desire to be equal to or greater than God. He convinced one-third of the other angels to join him in a war against God. As a result, God cast out Lucifer and his followers from heaven (according to Isaiah 14, Ezekial 28, and Revelation 12).

Lucifer and his demons are restricted to having their authority operational on the earth, with their main goal to deceive as many people as possible into either denying God and not accepting His son as Lord and Savior, or, tricking people into eventually accepting the Antichrist as their personal Savior, which, unfortunately, will trick and fool them into an eternity apart from God, in Hades.    

Lucifer’s ultimate goal is to hurt God.  He can do that by hurting God’s most special creation: human beings. 

In the movie Nefarious (2023), the demon Edward/Nefarious explains that their goal is to punish God by destroying what He loves, stating: 

“Our plan is to hurt Him. To punish Him. And we do that by destroying what He loves, which is you.”

If hurting God and destroying man wasn’t enough, there is more: ever since Lucifer was kicked out of heaven, he has been plotting to get back in, but this time as Ruler of the Universe.

According to Jessie Czebodar, a key whistleblower whom we will hear from in a moment, Lucifer strongly believes that, in the end, “he will win” by overthrowing God’s throne.  To accomplish this goal, he needs many human beings who have committed to following him, so that his evil demons can possess them and somehow spiritually storm the gates of heaven and overtake God’s throne. Lucifer has also promised his followers great rewards as an incentive. Satan’s goal is to connect or attach his demons to his human Illuminati, which means that they serve as physical body hosts. (AIP p. 43.)  However, there is a twist:

“Lucifer has fooled them, and he actually intends to kill everyone, even his followers, once he attains God’s status himself.” (AIP p. 33.)

That leads me to the biggest challenge of everyone caught in the System. Many know, deep down, that Lucifer is a liar who cannot be trusted. 

According to the Bible, Lucifer is a liar and the Father of Lies (John 8:44).

I think it’s important to peek into at least four lies Lucifer tells his followers, since the entire Illuminati is built upon Lucifer, and thus, built upon his lies.

And then we are back to the Coldplay lyrics at the start of this post.

Below are two quotes from Elaine, former Top Bride of Satan:

  • Satan completely deceived me. He lies to ALL his servants.  I thought I was the most powerful and knew everything about his organization.  After I got out, I realized that Satan doesn’t tell any of his servants the truth about his activities or his organization.” (HCTSTCF p. 63.)
  • “We were constantly being told about Christ’s defeat on the cross and that He had been the ultimate sacrifice to Satan.” (HCTSTCF p. 50.)

And two quotes from Bill S., former high-level Satanist:

  • “The Illuminati (perceive that they ) are gods and goddesses themselves and have the right to determine who lives or dies. They also believe that hell is absolute but are told that even if they lose in the battle with God, they will “reign” in hell and will never suffer.  These people suffer from the common misinformation that Satan rules hell (like the toughest con in a maximum-security prison) and can grant favors to whomever he will.”  (LD p. 36.)
  • “They have been told the lie that the God of heaven would never want them once they have done such wicked and perverse things. They are told that if they ever try to leave or defect to the “other side,” they will be killed horribly and tortured endlessly in the hereafter. The soul-winner needs to understand that these Satanists are utterly convinced that they have “sold their souls” and that nothing Jesus could do would save them.” (LD p. 37.) 

Lucifer’s Top Demon Generals, Queen Mothers of Darkness, Merlin, Antichrist, etc.:

After Lucifer, several top demon generals are his second-in-command, including Moloch, Ba’al, Ashtoreth, Samael, Abaddon, Azazael, and Thoth. Ashtoreth is also known as Lilith, Isis, and Diana.

I have heard slight variations in specific demon names across different sources, but the overall theme of the top demonic generals remains consistent across testimonies.

Directly under Lucifer and his seven demonic generals are the five Mothers of Darkness.  Jessie Czebodar was groomed to become the Queen Mother of Darkness, the highest position in the Illuminati System.  She is a key whistleblower, and I will share a portion of her testimony momentarily.

Across/adjacent to the five Queen Mother women are five men, a subgroup called Merlin.  Merlin’s job is to train five Antichrist figures and keep them in the wings “in the event” it’s the end times, according to the Book of Revelation in the Bible.  In that scenario, God permits Lucifer and the Antichrist to have a window to take over management of the earth and to bring wrath against God’s people for 3.5 years, causing human life and the earth great destruction (to be fair, God and Jesus will also bring wrath at this time as well). As stated, currently Lucifer and the Illuminati are behaving in such a way as to imply that they themselves believe we are close to what the Bible refers to as the end times.

Next in the hierarchy are the “Four P’s”: the Priest, the Prophet, the Pindar, and the Phoenix. The head of the Satanic council is called the Phoenix, and that position was allegedly held for 30 years by George Soros. (AIP p. 64.)  I could not find much research on who holds these positions currently (due to the highly secretive nature of this organization). However, Veronica Swift lists one name in her book: a former, very charming, two-term U.S. President from the state where I currently live.  (By the way, I will try not to drop too many names in this post but will instead drop hints.)

From there, we have the Protectors (the secret service of the System), the Satanic Council (approximately 300 important people who rule the world), the sisters of light (creepy witches who heal people and make people die via witchcraft spells), and the brides of Satan (they make Lucifer happy but also do significant witchcraft spells and many other duties; Elaine has been previously mentioned in this position). 

Jessie has a lot to say about the Illuminati’s version of the military, which is called the Sovereign Military Order. I have included more information in the P.S. section.

A few more details on the Satanic Council, which is also called by several other names.

“The Satanic Council is composed of world leaders, royals, bankers, architects, professors – pretty much any professional can be and likely is represented by this group.  Being appointed in childhood as a successor and trained to take a position as Grand High Priest or Priestess is one way to get a seat on the Satanic Council. The other way to do battle for the position is like a witches’ battle.” (AIP p. 65.)

The Satanic Council is responsible for running the businesses of the Illuminati. Their enterprises include high-level sex slavery, human trafficking, gun running, drug running, and other illegal and morally reprehensible schemes. (AIP p. 62.)

This top section includes a wide range of well-known and influential world leaders who wield significant power. Political figures round out this group, including former presidents of the United States from both political parties.

After the Satanic Council, the Illuminati splinters into several other tentacles (influential organizations, feeder groups, etc.), which we will dig into momentarily.

The Bloodline Families:

Within these tippy-top categories of people who run the show, many (not all) are from bloodline families.

The very wealthy and influential bloodline families include the following family names: Astor, Bundy, Collins, DuPont, Freeman, Kennedy, Li, Onassis, Reynolds, Rockefeller, Rothschild, Russell, Van Duyn. Here is an excellent and short article about all of these influential families: Who Are Illuminati and What Are the Illuminati’s 13 Bloodline Families?

p. 116 of An Illuminati Primer adds in another bloodline family, the Merovingians. 

Several whistleblowers mention the existence of these bloodline families, and research on the Skull and Bones (a secret society at Yale University with alleged ties to the Illuminati) found that only 20-30 families have historically been represented in this fraternity.  (ITI p 67.)

Everyone else:

The final group consists of those who are invited, recruited, lured into due to a desire for fame or fortune (think famous people/celebrities),  trafficked (many children), forced into (think slavery and women who breed babies for sacrifice) or blackmailed in (think people whom they lure in to do something sexual, Illegal, immoral, or disgusting, and then take videos and photos of it for blackmail purposes). 

At the bottom of the barrel are “system slaves,” who are expendable and under the complete control of the System.  (AIP p. 73.) The expendables are also income earners for the System.

There is a dark side and a light side to the Illuminati.  The light side is not as evil as the dark side, and it seems to do good work that helps many people; however, these efforts ultimately serve the Luciferian agenda. 

The Illuminati children:

I would like to take a moment to describe what it is like to be a child within the Illuminati, since I found this part of my research to be the most disgusting and disturbing content I have ever heard or read. I will do my best to present this summary in a PG13 format for sensitive readers.

This is a brief summary of what I learned:

They treat their own children like trash, sex objects, punching bags, human sacrifices, toys, tools, blackmail objects, slaves, income earners, organ harvesters, prey to be hunted in forests, pornography movie stars, food to eat through cannibalism (not kidding), science experiments, spiritual spies, and the list goes on.

A few key details on their use of children:

  • The System requires the use of children for many purposes, with pedophilia, child sex trafficking, child pornography, and gift exploitations at the top of the list.
  • The spiritual gifts they seek include children who can “hear, see, and feel in the spirit world” (AIP p. 126), children born on certain days, descendants of King Solomon, and others.  They are also looking for children who can open spiritual gates.  Furthermore, the Illuminati is looking for these three gifts in children: prophecy, intercession, and spiritual warriors.  (AIP p. 139.)
  • There are no protections for the children, sadly, as many Judges, police officers, and other people who could potentially help are all members of the System. 
  • For example, according to a whistleblower named Janette Archer, many Judges in the UK are involved in the System and would tell her something akin to “don’t bother” reporting anyone, because they would stop any case of hers from getting her justice. Several law enforcement officers were also compromised. (AIP p. 127.)
  • They keep children who are being trained for future positions in line with something called “compliance training.”  Jessie C. – former Queen Mother – remembers being thrown into a pit with a creature resembling a dragon and into a pitch-black cellar full of dead animals, all to keep her compliant during her training. (AIP p. 167.)
  • Additionally, the book titled The Franklin Coverup, written by State Senator John DeCamp, involves a Nebraska statewide financial banking swindle of $40 million, soon exploding into a hideous tale of drugs, Iran-Contra money-laundering, a nationwide child abuse ring, and Satanic ritual murder. One of the key witnesses, a member of a child sexual abuse ring named Paul Bonnaci, also took a private tour of the White House during President Bush Sr.’s tenure.  Paul also testifies to attending the Bohemian Grove, where he witnessed a child being raped and murdered by another adult male. A pornography snuff film was also made of the event. (I used President Bush Sr.’s name because it was already made public in a Washington Times article from many years ago. I have linked the article in the P.S. section.)
  • According to Kathleen Sorenson, a foster mom to several ritualistically abused children, she relays a terrifying tale of kids in her care reporting that they had to murder another child or infant before the age of two, children witnessing the deaths of their own friends, children being guided to kill animals, children seeing adults eating the body parts of children, and several other things I cannot mention involving children. (TFC p. 204)
  • Please see the P.S. section for an important mini primer on the Franklin Coverup. I thoroughly read this book because it has “The Illuminati” written all over it, including all the “mysterious” deaths in an attempt to cover up the truth. The mini-primer is worth another two minutes of your time! 
  • Elaine details how children were used for sexual purposes as well as torture to keep their parents in line.  She also shares information about human sacrifice (HCTSTCF p. 64-65 and chapter 8).
  • Jessie C. reveals how she was expected to kill an infant during a Satanic ceremony but refused to do so.  She was punished for this.  (FOKL p. 52.)

I will now transition to “What” the Illuminati is all about.

I will begin with testimonies from several high-level defectors, then provide an overview of other Illuminati categories to paint a broader picture.

The Illuminati – WHAT:

I found it best (and more accurate) to describe the Illuminati directly from the testimonies of the top whistleblowers and defectors (or those who interacted closely with them).

Elaine- former Top Bride of Satan:

Yes, we have already heard a bit from Elaine, but here is a bit more.

I can somewhat personally verify this testimony, as I knew the woman whom God used to bring her out — Rebecca Brown – personally, for several years before she passed.

Rebecca was one of the most committed, honest, and obedient Christians I have ever known.  God used her to bring hundreds of Satanists out of the occult successfully, including Elaine.

As stated, Elaine was a Top Bride of Satan, which is a very high position in the Luciferian hierarchy.  According to Veronica Swift, the author of An Illuminati Primer, the Bride of Satan is called upon to make sure Satan is happy and that he gets whatever he wants.  They are required to appear beautiful and to be ready to attend events when called (AIP, p. 81). 

That all may be true, but Elaine did much more than look pretty and be the beck and call girl for Lucifer.  Satan had her doing all manner of evil work for him, including ordering her to organize all the top witches in the United States to murder Rebecca, due to all the “preaching and praying everywhere” she was doing at a local Brotherhood-controlled hospital.  Elaine performed the necessary rituals to ensure Rebecca’s destruction; however, their efforts ultimately proved unsuccessful.  Satan also organized her and other witches to kill another Christian family.  That was also unsuccessful due to God’s protection and power (p. 56, HCTSTCF). 

A few more compelling pieces of data from Elaine’s testimony in bullet form:

  • Elaine shines a spotlight on werewolves, zombies, and vampires. These human-like creatures were common and were primarily used for disciplinary purposes (HCTSTCF p. 65).
  • She accompanied Lucifer on many international trips, in which she said: “my trips were for the purposes of coordinating Satan’s programs with Satanists in other lands. I saw very large sums of money change hands, and the involvement of government officials.  All of my trips were “off the record” in private jets.  Most powerful and wealthy organizations serve Satan.  The “little” people of the organizations do not know this.” (HCTSTCF p. 62.)
  • You would think that being at the top of the System was exciting, fulfilling, and enjoyable, right?  Not so much.  Elaine says, “despite my high position and great power, I lived in constant fear. I had to live a completely double life. I had no peace and I felt very trapped. My greatest problem was with the incredible evil perpetuated within the cult. The brutal discipline and above all, human sacrifice!” (HCTSTCF p. 63.)

Personal note: Most Luciferians are afraid of Lucifer or of disobeying him.  Elaine was not.  She refused to do several things that Lucifer instructed her to, including performing a human sacrifice.  She was punished severely for this. She often yelled at and challenged Lucifer. Over time, she came to realize that God was more powerful than Lucifer, but she didn’t know what to do about it until she met Rebecca, whom God used to enable her to exit the System.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading Elaine’s story because she is one of the few escapees to show true sass, courage, and grit when confronting Lucifer and really gave it back to him.

Jessie Czebodar, former Queen Mother of Darkness:

Jessie is the top whistleblower to ever defect from the Illuminati (that I am aware of).  She was number two behind Lucifer himself (not counting his demon spirits or the Antichrist, of course).

Part of the job description of a Queen Mother is to “act like a CEO, supervise their quadrant, carry out the wishes of Lucifer from the top down, staff the system, and find appropriate individuals to place in training for other System positions as teachers, bankers, doctors, nurses, computer programmers, etc.” The five Mothers of Darkness have historically been from the same family lineage. (AIP p. 41.)

Jessie was tapped at 4 years old to become the Queen Mother of Darkness.  Jessie is a federal whistleblower, and several of her depositions are available online.  I will leave more details below in the P.S. section. (AIP and TISNE p. 85-92)

A few nuggets from her testimony as it pertains to the Luciferian hierarchy include:

  • Jessie provides the bottom-line goal of Lucifer and the Illuminati, which has been previously mentioned, but since it’s Lucifer’s entire end goal and life’s work, I think it bears repeating: Lucifer wishes to attach his demons to human hosts so that the people can escort the demons from the earthly realms to the heavenly realms, bypassing the normal restrictions on the demons getting there by themselves (long story short, demons are prohibited from entering heaven, but somehow, the spirits of human beings are allowed to).  Satan believes he can use this “loophole” to storm heaven’s gates and take over God’s throne.  (AIP p. 31.)
  • Under the Council of 300 are Grand High Priestesses and Priests. Their job is to ensure the System operates correctly within specific quadrants. Next are the (regular) High Priests and Priestesses, followed by the Five Departments (Mormons, Masons, Catholic Church, Satanists (I don’t understand this department as the whole organization is Satanic), and the Kabbalah.
  • The job of each department is to oversee the System’s assets, namely the bloodline children and the expendable children.  The bloodline children are the “special” ones; groomed to take on positions of power, while the “expendable” are just that:  they are abused, sexually exploited, killed, and cannibalized.
  • Jessie reaffirms that the System’s use of MK Ultra programming. (TISNE p. 85-92.) According to Wiki: MKUltra[a] was an illegal human experimentation program designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used in altering human behavior.[1]   It was further declassified in 2001.
  • Jessie has witnessed Lucifer countless times as a child.  The four forms he used with her were: a very handsome, alluring man; a man shadowed by black armor; a one-headed dragon; or a seven-headed dragon (the dragon forms appeared during certain rituals).  (AIP p. 29.)
  • Jessie claims that the following seven world systems are what the Illuminati seeks to infiltrate and heavily influence: religion, family, education/technology, government, media, entertainment, and business (banking).

Another of Lucifer’s goals is similar to the plot of the show Stranger Things.  The system attempts to stay ahead of God by looking into the future.  The Illuminati desires to find people (mostly children) with prophetic gifts of remote viewing who can see visions of the future or can astral project and spy on people. Strangely, they were unable to see beyond the year 2024.  I am not sure why. 

Zachary King, a former High Wizard:

Lucifer selected Mr. King to have the esteemed position of High Wizard of the World Church of Satan (AIASS p. 52). A High Wizard performs magic spells, curses, hexes, etc., for the coven and other wealthy Luciferians. The rich and powerful sought him out to cast spells for them.  Mr. King boasted a 91% success rate in casting spells (AIASS p. 50 – 52).

In this interview (here: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ht-L3z_J0hU), he explains that the Illuminati is “in a sense, its own Satanic coven. But there aren’t enough people in the Illuminati to run the world.  They need foot soldiers, so they use the Satanic covens and the Freemasons. They will literally pull the levers and push the buttons for every political action that generally happens in first-world countries, and they will do a lot of stuff in third-world countries. They can promise things, and they can deliver. You do the things we say to do, we’ll help you get out of poverty…we will show you something that grows in sand. Almost every rock star, if you are famous…the Illuminati probably made you famous.”

He then goes on to describe the specific spell work he would do, including hexes, which is the most potent spell. The hex is the most expensive and requires an abortion, but it is the most likely to work effectively.

A few more bullet points regarding Mr. King’s testimony:

  • Mr. King was directly involved in the music industry and helped coordinate hopeful artists with contracts to Lucifer and the Illuminati. He reports that he helped make approximately 1,200 artists or bands successful from 1987 to 1999.  (22-minute mark here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvWJ6GYaZes).
  • He goes into detail about how he identified people who wanted to be famous in the music industry here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JA66dVquaI.  He explains that they must sell their soul to the Illuminati to be famous. 
  • Mr. King also assisted in 146 abortions that were all dedicated to Satan, because Satanism is all about blood sacrifice (AIASS p. 80). 
  • He lists the following organizations as being directly involved in the Illuminati, which are all connected: The Bilderbergs, the Council on Foreign Relations, the World Trade Organization, the Skull and Bones, the World Bank Group, the Freemasons, the Order of the Temple of the East (or OTO), and the Trilateral Commission.
  • He states that they are highly focused on installing the Antichrist.
  • Of leaving the Illuminati, he has said: “You realize that if you leave, you leave one of three ways.  You can die of natural causes. You can be murdered. You can commit suicide. As I had already sold my soul at 13, so all three of those methods…I end up in hell.”
  • I found this video of the artist PINK, featuring a high wizard. Now, why would she do that? Ex Satanic High Wizard Outs Another High Wizard Hidden in P!nk’s “Like a Pill” Music Video

Zachary is now a committed Catholic and speaks very freely about his former involvement in the System. He has given several interviews across multiple platforms and authored one book, found here: https://a.co/d/aBNcYuX.

One final point regarding the entertainment industry and the Illuminati: an Illuminati researcher, Mark Dice, believes that artists and entertainers will play an important role in introducing the “royal secret” of the Illuminati.  He writes:

“As the Illuminati prepare to announce the royal secret, as they call it, by declaring that Satan is King of the Earth and the Savior of Mankind, hoping to overthrow the “inferior” and “evil” creator God, to complete the New World Order Utopia, celebrities have recently played a major part in paving the path to the apocalypse.” (ITI p. 211-212.) Mr. Dice believes that the celebrity culture perpetuates the belief that joining the Illuminati is cool, and it can bring you “success.”  (ITI p. 212.)

Please see my thoughts on the music industry in the P.S. section.

I have no idea why Pink has a High Wizard performing spell-work behind her in this video. Is it just artistry? Just something fun and unique to do? Please see the P.S. section for additional thoughts on the music industry. Photo credit: Bing Videos, Just Like A Pill, by the artist Pink.

Ronald Bernard, former financier to the Illuminati:

Ronald Bernard is a fascinating man, and I spent hours watching his YouTube testimonials.  According to this interview (and many others) Ronald Bernard – The Invitation – Dutch with subs, he worked his way up to the top tier of the Illuminati’s financial world, where he served as a “straw man” (problem solver) for five years among the movers and shakers of the world. 

Personal note: I am not a financial professional and do not have expertise in global finance. I will merely summarize what I learned from Ronald’s testimony in bullet form.

  • Ronald’s job was to “process cash in such a way that we can legally introduce it into the money circuit.” He also facilitated currency exchange.  An example he mentioned was changing “the dollar to something else.  Make sure it’s deposited safely and that assets are being managed well.”  
  • An example of how he manipulated the world currency was when he and his colleagues “dumped the Italian currency, which caused a business to collapse, and the owner of the business committed suicide, leaving a family behind.”
  • Over time, he learned that the colleagues he worked with were Luciferians.
  • His tipping point occurred when he witnessed children being sacrificed to Lucifer. He found out later that the sacrifice was set up to take photographic and video evidence of him, which they intended to use against him for blackmail purposes.  But Ronald declined the sacrifice and eventually left the System.
  • By his estimate, about 8500 people rule the world. (This number roughly lines up with writer and researcher David Rothkopf, who proposes that this “superclass” consists of approximately 6000 people who rule the world. According to Superclass (his book), they are connected through a “small world” network of board memberships, elite gatherings (like Davos and Bilderberg), and education. (Source: AI overview of the book Superclass and the 6000 number.)
  • The people he worked for manipulated the gold rate daily.
  • The banks have way too much power (they have complete juristic immunity, and act as free states). The wealthy elite all work together, so it doesn’t get too crowded at the top. (TISNE p. 38-39.) He stated that only 1% of the people at the banks know what is really going on. 
  • His clients were banks, terrorists, multinationals, governments, and secret services.  He believes that the secret services and thinks they are very evil and criminal, and they start wars. My note: I am not really sure what “secret services” means.
  • He was trading in drugs, weapons, and people (other whistleblowers confirm this). He said multinational banks are dominant players.
  • The group he was involved with introduced sudden pandemics and vaccines. 
  • An example of what they do: they give money to a poor country, and the poor country will repay them with rich resources. This is reiterated by Zachary King.
  • He has stated, “We are financing wars and creating wars. There are no good or bad guys. They are all working together. It’s all a game.”
  • The goal of this inner circle is to build a worldwide dictatorship (the New World Order) and to rebuild Solomon’s temple in Jerusalem.
  • He called the group of people whom he worked for: “egotistic monsters all taking care of each other.” He and all of his colleagues looked down on regular people and called them “trash.”
  • He tried to fill the hole in his heart with money and worldly things, but he said he had a “black hole of emptiness.”
  • While he was in the System, he learned that 2028 is going to be a big year for the Luciferians, and that “destruction is coming.”

Chantal Frei, former Queen Mother of Darkness:

Chantal Frei claims she was hunted by adults who wanted to kill her. She hid in a leaf pile. But sadly, this is the Illuminati, and this is how they treat their very own precious children. P.C. WordPress AI image.

Another former Queen Mother of Darkness from Europe, Chantal Frei, describes being hunted as a child. 

Yes, you heard that correctly. 

In her words:

“When I was about six years old, I was taken to a summer camp in Belgium.  It was held at Amerois Castle (also called the Mother of Darkness Castle). We, children, had to strip naked there. Then we went into the forest. There was a hunting game. I heard gunshots and children screaming in the forest. I hid in a pile of leaves.”

Chantal survived this incident! Later, Chantal met with celebrities, heads of state, and European royalty. She was taken to well-known places, including the White House and secret military facilities. She helped to conduct a ceremony called “Satan’s wedding,” where a pregnant woman was sacrificed for Satan’s honor. Chantal is not shy about naming names, including former Presidents (think a famous couple, one a two-term President, one a presidential candidate), and performed a ritual in front of one of the most celebrated actors in U.S. history, as far as that Mission was Possible. (TISNE p. 46-49.)

Quick note: Another whistleblower named Paul Bonnaci also described seeing children hunted and killed at the Bohemian Grove. Paul was trained as a child prostitute, and one of his chief roles is to get influential people in sexually compromising situations so they could be photographed, which would later be used for blackmail purposes. (TISNE p.31-32. also the Franklin Coverup book has Paul’s complete testimony.)

Fiona Barnette, former sex slave:

Fiona is a mid-level escapee who has two great things going for her: one, she interacted with the highest echelons of the Illuminati, and two, her testimony aligns consistently with that of other mid-level escapees. 

Her story is heartbreaking but familiar in this world: a little girl abused and assaulted by the father of a very famous Australian actress (once married to the one whose Mission is Not Possible) was taken to parties and dropped off as part of a pedophile ring.  She was instructed to say, “star child is here,” which was a code word that allowed famous politicians, actors, and celebrities to have their way sexually with her. 

Fiona spotlights three central recurring themes of the Illuminati:

  • MK Ultra mind control (previously mentioned trauma-based mind control techniques that keep the ones abused on the same page and train children for future jobs and roles – like assassin or sex slave, for example).
  • International VIP pedophile rings.
  • Satanic rituals involving rape and sacrifice. 

She is not shy about naming names (that are consistent with others’ testimonies), one of whom was a former President who sexually assaulted her on a plane. This man resigned amid a major H2O scandal.  Fionna has a backbone of steel and held a press conference in Australia in 2015, during which she publicly named famous actors, celebrities, judges, and politicians, including several former Australian Prime Ministers.  (TISNE ch. 13 p. 62.)

This whistleblower claims that only the 12 or 13 pure bloodlines can reach the top of the Illuminati, which lines up with other Illuminati whistleblower testimony.

Kerth Barker, former sex slave to the upper echelon of the Illuminati:

Kerth’s testimony is one of severe trauma-based mind control and sexual abuse, being forced to act out as a “girl” named Kathy to service grown men and women, and child pornography (of himself) being sold to upper echelon Satanists.  He speaks about how Satanism is a business model using perverse sex as a tool for blackmail, normalizing criminal activity, and a gradual acceptance of sociopathology. (ADDA p. 60.) One of his mentors told him of the importance of sexual seduction, blackmail, and bribery to corrupt people, and that he used manipulation and deceit to take from others what they had created.  He explained that most wealthy people worldwide build and preserve their wealth in this way. (ADDA p. 89.)

We will now transition to the organizations and institutions that are infiltrated by the System.

Infiltrated Institutions/Organizations/Front Groups:

The Illuminati has its tentacles in pretty much every institution in the world, but I will merely give a skim and summary (for brevity’s sake) and then place all the rest of it in the P.S. section for further digging.

The highlights of my research boil down to this:

Every area of government, banking, media, entertainment, business, and religious institutions is either completely controlled by, heavily influenced by, partially infiltrated by, or lightly monitored by the System, with potential for greater future control.

A few highlights from this portion of my research:

  • The Catholic Church, the Masons, and the Mormons are the big three institutions that have infiltrated and are not what they seem. (AIP p. 102.) They heavily use the Catholic church as a cover for their organization. (AIP p. 104.) 
  • The FBI, CIA, NSA, and the banks are all heavily infiltrated. (AIP chapters 19, 20, 21, and p. 131.)
  • The UN is also heavily infiltrated. According to Kerth Barker, the “truth of the U.N. is that it’s actually designed to become an all-powerful global government and is controlled by the wealthy Luciferian families of the world. For them to create their all-powerful plutocracy, all the diverse cultures of the world must be destroyed.” (CBD and HAS p. 183.)
  • There are several goals of the New World Order, which is an alleged arm of the Illuminati, to include the U.S. currency being devalued, the acceptance of a one-world government, a second pandemic, and the implementation of hate laws to criminalize Christianity and Judaism. (AIP p. 201.)
  • The media is one of the most infiltrated institutions.  The modern-day media conglomerate is “infiltrated nearly completely by the brotherhood, and a bona fide division of the brotherhood…television, print, magazine, movies, music, Oscars, Emmys, Super Bowl halftime show, etc.”  (AIP p. 71) The media is filled with all manner of secret codes and symbols, which the Illuminati use to communicate with each other (colors, shapes, objects, hand signs, etc.). (AIP p. 72.)
  • For example, much of the media’s success in shaping public thought and opinion seems to stem from constant repetition.  Numerous compilation videos show different TV news networks saying the exact same phrase on the same day. (AIP p. 79.) They believe that if they can control the media, they can control the public. (AIP p. 80)
  • Remember, complete control is what they are after.

The Illuminati-WHEN:

I cover two brief angles for the “when” section.  

First, which days on the calendar are important to the System? 

Secondly, what are they focusing on right now?

For the first question, I will put the bulk of my research in the P.S. section, but suffice it to say, there are several “holy days” in Satanism where human sacrifice is performed, which gives more power to both the demon (or Lucifer himself) as well as the person performing the sacrifice. 

Secondly, as stated, the last seven years preceding the earthly return of Jesus Christ (often referred to as the Great Tribulation or the end times) are likely the most crucial for Lucifer, his demonic armies, and his followers, as they will wield the most extraordinary power and authority on the face of the earth during the second half of this seven year window.

As previously stated, the Illuminati/System is focusing on the end times and installing their Antichrist figure.  Which leads us to ask the question…

What precisely are the end times?

The books of Revelation, Daniel, and Matthew (and others) detail the last seven years preceding the second coming of Jesus Christ, when Jesus returns as a reigning King who will conquer evil, judge humanity, and establish a new Heaven and Earth. During the seven years of the “Great Tribulation,” there will emerge an evil Antichrist figure who will deceive the world into following and worshiping Satan. Jesus will ultimately defeat both the Antichrist and the devil. (Scripture verses were provided earlier in this post.)

The entire point of the Illuminati is that they will be allowed by God to rule and reign during a 3.5 year period within the seven-year Great Tribulation period.  Satan will also be permitted to pour wrath on the Saints of God and will be able to set up his own government system.  He will also be allowed to set up his own Savior, the Antichrist.

According to Veronica Swift:

“Much of what the Illuminati is doing these days seems to revolve around what are termed the “end times”…This System-orchestrated end times is also called the Great Deception, because when the Antichrist springs on the scene, and the masses of people worldwide become aware of him for the first time, they are supposed to be in awe of him and believe that he is the second coming of Christ. The general public will not be made aware that, behind the scenes, this man will worship Satan and consider Satan to be his personal God. The Luciferian Brotherhood plans that the Antichrist will suffer a fatal wound, will die, and be resurrected, as the real Jesus Christ was.”  (AIP p. 47).

According to Kerth Barker:

“The ultimate goal of the Illuminati is to create an occult-driven event whereupon all the people of the world will suddenly abandon whatever personal philosophy they believe in to convert, en masse, to a Luciferian, New Age philosophy.  This philosophy will be taught by the Antichrist.” (CBDHAS p. 175)

As a sign that we might be near the end, the Antichrist recently performed a ritual intended to kick off the Luciferian End Times, which began in 2020, in which the Antichrist took over a position previously held by the Mother of Darkness. (AIP p. 49-50.)

Would you like to learn more about the end times? I wrote an entire article about the topic, with an emphasis on the Illuminati and the Antichrist, here: https://permission2speakfreely.com/2025/09/19/its-the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it/

The Illumaniti-WHERE:

The Illuminati’s significant locations include certain cities, underground facilities (including military bases and tunnels), and other sites.  

The Illuminati has built many underground structures. P.C. WordPress AI images.

A few key points include:

  • According to Jessie, much of her training took place underground. One place explicitly mentioned was under the Cathedral of St. Peter Catholic Church in Rockford, Illinois.  (AIP p. 165.) She details a whole underground world that the rest of us don’t know about.
  • The System extensively uses tunnels for a wide variety of reasons: for getting from point A to point B, for the Protectors to keep their charges safe from other Luciferians, to transport children and adults for human trafficking, to connect to underground bases and training centers, and, I suspect, for places to live during the end times.  Also, for food, weapons, and other storage (this is merely my opinion based on research).
  • There are allegedly many underground cities: the Pentagon, Area 51, a city in Kansas, etc., all over the world. (AIP p. 171-175.)
  • The Muslim faith is very much central to the Illuminati.  Kerth Barker states that former insiders have told him that the entire System is run from Medina, Saudi Arabia.  (AIP p. 133.)
  • Kerth also claims that Medina is the “hidden center of power that rules over the (other) cities.” (DTI p 11.)
  • Other important cities to the Illuminati are: Washington, DC (military power), Vatican City (religious mind control), and London (economic control). (DTI p. 11)

Given that much of what they do seems to be underground, it reminds me of the Bible verse that says people will hide in caves and other underground places to escape God’s judgment or oppression. These Bible verses are found primarily in Isaiah 2:19-21 and Revelation 6:15-17, where people flee into caves, holes, and rocky caverns to escape the Lord’s anger or the Lamb’s wrath.

Also, I am currently watching the show Paradise, about the rich elite who live in a huge underground bunker to avoid the end of the world.  It reminds me of what the System is capable of and is likely (possibly) going to be doing in the future.

The Illuminati-WHY:

For this part, I sought to explain why people in the System do what they do.  Because frankly, many (but not all) of them are engaged in practices that are illegal, immoral, and disgusting.  

Secondly, I sought an answer to the question: are they permitted to leave the organization if they wish?

There are many reasons why they do what they do:

  • They are afforded much power through animal and human sacrifice, and/sex magik (with a “k”). Or, if they don’t perform those sacrifices, they are still afforded some kind of authority and power.
  • They are deceived by Lucifer into thinking they will be gods/goddesses in the afterlife, and they believe that the Creator God is inferior to Lucifer.  And that Lucifer represents the winning side.
  • They are trapped and believe they cannot leave.
  • They enjoy being a part of the System.
  • They are in a bloodline family, and it is expected of them.
  • They are afraid. “Because the upper levels of the Illuminati Brotherhood are witches and warlocks, they engage in rituals that seem to, in part, please Satan. If they spoil the ritual, or do anything wrong, they could be killed for making that mistake.” (AIP p. 145.)

Second, are they permitted to leave if they wish?

First, I was surprised to learn that, according to Jessie C., about 95% of those within the Illuminati wish to defect and leave.  (AIP p. 83.)

Unfortunately for them, they believe they cannot leave. There are several reasons that the System’s members cannot exit stage left:

  • First, “the standing threat for most of the System’s members is severe torture of family, friends, pets, and themselves if they try to escape, followed by their death. The System assassinates defectors in front of other members to deter and discourage them from defecting too.” (AIP p. 53-54.)
  • Second, they have been tortured and are mind-controlled so that they must stay in the organization.
  • Third, many are blackmailed and feel they cannot leave. According to old school Fritz, “it is a standard tactic to use fear and blackmail to bring people into line.”  (AIP p. 167.) Kerth Barker was often involved in framing grown men for blackmail purposes.
  • Fourth, many are controlled and possessed by demonic spirits, who inhabit them and make them do awful things.  The demon spirits speak to them and drive them crazy, telling them they will never leave them alone. These demons lie to them and tell them that they are stuck in the System forever.  
  • Finally, as alluded to, many in the System benefit from it and enjoy being in it; they are drunk on the riches, fame, fortune, or other benefits they are afforded in their various roles. Some also stay in because they have a massive superiority complex or delusions of grandeur, which the System perpetuates.

However, I have some good news.  Many of them have successfully defected, or else you would not be reading this article.  It is a long process to fully leave, and one that could be very dangerous for people.  If you are trapped in the System and wish to leave, I recommend a support system and a way to keep yourself safe.  I also recommend making Jesus your Lord and Savior and growing in your faith.  Jesus is the only power and protection that will truly be effective as you depart the Illuminati. 

The Illuminati-HOW MANY:

As alluded to, only a few thousand run the world. My theory is that there are many more, perhaps millions, who are connected to the Illuminati in other ways. So I would guess several million? But that is only a guess.

The Illuminati-HOW:

In this section, I will cover only one angle, which is the most important theme of this article:

How do we defeat them?

I must give one qualifier, and that is:

God will only allow us to partially defeat their evil agenda because (as previously stated) God delegates a 3.5 year window of power to Lucifer to rule and reign on the earth. 

But there are still several things we can do.  Here are three of them, top of mind:

Watchfulness, resistance, and prayer:

First, be vigilant and pray to God for wisdom and discernment. Read the Bible every day, so that you will not be deceived. 

Second, to the best of your ability, actively resist their attempts to deceive you into accepting a one-world religion/leader/monetary system.  And then actively resist the Mark of the Beast when it is presented. Another great way to resist their evil agenda is to spread God’s agenda by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.

Third, for those who consider themselves Christians, we can pray both for and against them. 

Before I offer prayer points, I believe it’s important to hear from escapee Kerth Barker, who has given this much thought and has written extensively on how to defeat the Illuminati.  I have included some of his thoughts in the P.S. section.

His ideas are somewhat lengthy but are full of wisdom and knowledge and include insider strategies.

Kerth states:

“The real unseen leaders are master occultists, high adept Satanists. This conflict is first and foremost a spiritual battle.  Without the occult power that is used to hold these syndicates together, they would fall apart…the only power that can negate the occult power of the Illuminati is the power of Christian prayer. The main reason I’ve written these books is to convey the idea that the Illuminati can be defeated. The leadership of the Illuminati is highly flawed, and they have many resources.  They all have inherited wealth and political connections, and some possess psychic powers.  But the average Illuminati leader couldn’t hold an ordinary job if his life depended on it. Their Satanic occult practices can be neutralized by the prayers of good-hearted Christians. So they won’t be able to rule the world. They all have people who work for them who organize their wealth and properties. But many of these Illuminati mid-level managers are smart enough to realize that the rule of their masters is destroying the world. Although these servants to the elite might want the money that comes from working for these wealthy aristocrats, nobody who really knows them ever trusts them or respects them. If any type of resistance group outside the Illuminati were to arise, the Illuminati would fall like a house of cards. And such a resistance is arising. God will save us from the Luciferian aristocrats who presently rule the world. But first, the people must see them for what they are: cannibals, blood drinkers, and highly adept Satanists. Their decadence, falsehood, corruption, and evil intentions will be revealed.  When these Luciferian aristocrats have been seen for what they are, they will be removed from power.” (DTI p.10 and 12 and C, BD, and HAS p.189 and 213.)

To be completely fair, I think Kerth’s assessment is a bit too lofty (I can’t see the Illuminati falling like a house of cards), but I agree with him that prayer can play a vital role in either bringing down, reducing, or disrupting the System’s plans.

Don’t believe me that a simple prayer can take down or, at the very minimum, disrupt the plans of the Illuminati?

Who would be the ultimate authority on whether Christian prayers can block the efforts of the Illuminati?

Would Lucifer himself admitting that prayer is effective be enough to prove to you that prayer works?

From Elaine:

“I began to realize that every time I did an incantation in the direction of that doctor (Rebecca), the demons came back to me, unable to get through.”

(Later, Satan came to her to ask her why she had failed in her assignment.)

“Don’t you know?” I asked. 

“Yes,” he replied, “but I want to know if you know.”

“Well,” Elaine said, “I assume somebody must have blocked us by prayer.”

That is right,” was his curt answer, then he vanished. (HCTSTCF p. 80.)

So there you have it, from the horse’s mouth.  However, Kerth offers another example of prayer’s capacity to nullify the Enemy’s plans. 

From Kerth:

One time, a politically connected master of the occult was giving a public demonstration where he was channeling an Antichrist demon.  A Christian woman was in attendance and immediately prayed that Jesus would “banish the demon” that this man was channeling.  Immediately, the master occultist fell silent mid-chant. He couldn’t say another word and walked away from the demonstration. The power of Jesus Christ is far greater than the power of Satan or any of his demons. (p. 189 C,BD and HAD.)

I wrote a short guidebook on the power of spiritual warfare and effective prayer against demons, including a step-by-step prayer guide for driving demons out of people and locations.  It’s a short book and will take you less than three hours to read.  If you would like to begin your journey of praying against the Illuminati, my book is a great place to start: https://a.co/d/3XJooez

Prayer strategies regarding the Illuminati:

Below are two simple thoughts on how to pray to reduce the power of the Illuminati:

Pray for them: pray that the Lord would reveal Himself to them, that they will see that God is more powerful than Satan, and that He will show them how to safely exit the System and turn instead to Him.

Pray against them: pray against the System and all that it perpetuates. Pray for protection for the many children who are horribly abused in the system. Pray for the System to be exposed to the world, that the world would reject it. Pray that Lucifer would not be able to deceive the world, and that his plans would be exposed and defeated. Pray that the power of the devil would be reduced and eliminated.  Pray that God would send a spirit of confusion into the meetings and plans of the Illuminati.   Pray that God would expose who exactly is involved and their role.  Pray that all of humanity would be illuminated with the TRUTH of Jesus Christ and God’s word.  Pray also for a massive revival, both within the Illuminati and throughout the world.

They can say and believe whatever they want, but in the end, Jesus wins. I hope you will choose to join Him on the winning side! P.C. WordPress AI images.

Closing Thoughts:

As we approach the end times, the power of Christian prayer is the only way to neutralize, reduce, or outright defeat the Illuminati going forward.

Yesterday, I met with a small group of moms, whom I have been praying with for three years. We come together to pray for our children’s public school, individual students, our own children, and others.  This small group of ladies is called Moms in Prayer. 

It hit me that I am part of a small group of women who hope to change the world, too. 

Are there historical examples of a small group of Christians coming together to pray that actually changed the world? There are indeed!

Examples of prayer-driven change include:

  • Rees Howells and the Bible College of Wales (1930s-1940s): During WWII, Howells and his students held regular, intense prayer meetings, believing their intercession was essential to defeating Nazi Germany.
  • The Hebrides Revival (1949-1952): In Scotland, two elderly, bedridden women prayed for revival, leading to a spiritual movement that swept the islands.
  • The Azusa Street Revival (1906-1915): Continuous prayer meetings in Los Angeles, led by a small group, ignited the global Pentecostal movement.
  • The Fall of the Berlin Wall (1980s): A seven-year global prayer campaign by Open Doors is cited as a significant factor in the unexpected, peaceful collapse of Soviet control in Eastern Europe. (source: Google AI)

If it could be done before, it can be done again. There is definitely spiritual wiggle room to thwart the Illuminati and their evil agenda.

Here are two closing thoughts with corresponding Scripture verses:

One, keep shining the light of Jesus wherever you go, and don’t be afraid to go poking around in dark places. His light within you might illuminate someone in the System who is trapped and seeking a way out. Once they see Jesus in you, they will follow you into the Light.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”  Matthew 5:16

And two, you never have to be afraid, because you have Jesus, and He is more powerful than Lucifer, all of his demons, and those who are deceived and trapped within the Illuminati System, both now and forevermore.

“Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world.” I John 4:4

Amen!

Personal note:

I am still writing the fiction book I alluded to at the start of the post; however, I put it on pause while researching the Illuminati, as I wanted to write about the System with authority (rather than guesswork). Now that this post is completed, I will be back to writing my work of fiction soon. Please pray for me!

The Music Industry:

A recent story that alludes heavily to Satan being involved in the music industry: My Boyfriend Sold His Soul Then Signed a Record Deal and Blew Up as a Rapper.

A simple internet search reveals many music artists who are said to be tied to the Illuminati. The only problem is that many/all will deny it. Even Madonna wrote a song called “Illuminati” in 2014, but said it was just a song about enlightened thinkers. Many artists use hand gestures or cover one eye (Lady Gaga), but unless and until they come out and say: “Yes, the Illuminati is real, and yes, we serve Lucifer…” it’s hard to know what is true and what is a conspiracy. Here is something to consider, however. In one of her music videos for the song “Like a Pill,” Pink literally and actually has a High Wizard performing spells behind her in the video. Now, why would she do that? The bottom line is that it’s hard to really know what’s going on with the music industry. Time will tell, though. If researcher Mark Dice is right, they will come out in the future and declare that the Illuminati is real, it’s filled with “enlightened thinkers,” and that they all worship Lucifer, who is the correct God. They will then urge mankind to follow the Antichrist and/or Lucifer.

The Kennedy Assassination:

Kerth Barker:

Kerth wrote extensively on how to defeat the System.  He provides a detailed four-part plan on page 16 of his book, DTI, which I will summarize below. 

To deconstruct the Illuminati, Kerth suggests:

  • The spread of gospel-based Christianity
  • The survival of Israel as a sovereign nation
  • The advancement of scientific thought (his thought process on this has something to do with the fact that the Illuminati requires a population of traumatized, fearful, ignorant, and superstitious people. Scientific thought can help people to reason.  Freedom of thought will help end mind control.)
  • The public needs to be deprogrammed. Kerth details a long thought process dealing with how our world has been brainwashed by propaganda and brainwashing techniques.

On page 105, Kerth was being groomed for a very high position in the Illuminati, but was later able to escape.  Kerth openly writes about the various former resistance groups that have attempted to reform the Illuminati in the past (p. 144 and elsewhere -ADDA). I guess not even the people who run the world are comfortable with all of the Illuminati’s disgusting activities.  Kerth explains, “They wanted to get rid of the MK Ultra abuse (that is where they traumatize children, FYI), the child prostitution, the violent Satanic Rituals, blood rituals, and sex magik.

According to Kerth, some Illuminati insiders have privately admitted to him that the System will soon fail. His logic, in a nutshell, is this: as the world’s population reduces, the Illuminati leaders will then turn on each other.  They will eventually kill each other. They all know that they have plans to kill one another.” (p. 186, C, BD and HAS.)

He also states that the best way to defeat Lucifer is to defuse the conflicts that are growing between Israel and Islam, as well as defusing the political tensions that are being created between the USA and Russia.  (p. 56.)

The Illuminati remain in power through fear and secrecy and by following certain rules and codes for secrecy.  Additionally, they remain in power because Lucifer and his demons are highly powerful, enabling their followers in various ways. Power is often derived from the blood of innocents through sacrifice.  (AIP p. 145-175.)

Kerth states that when the Illuminati take over the world, they will create Utopia. The truth is that the real leaders of the Illuminati are hard-core Satanists. Their goal is to destroy the natural world through geoengineering and to destroy the human race, replacing it with intelligent dehumanized creatures of some kind. (p. 144, ADDA.)

God and the Illuminati:

One of the best parts of my research was finding stories of God directly reaching out in love to those who were part of the System.

Kerth tells the following story:

Once, in the middle of a Satanic ritual where a woman was attempting to call a powerful demon into me (Kerth), four angels of God showed up and disrupted the ceremony.  One of the angels told him, “This is very important.  Do not be afraid.” (page 32, Angelic Defenders and Demonic Abusers).

Another time, one of Kerth’s abusers, named V.P., had beaten him viciously, which left bruises.  A servant in the home came upstairs and took the remainder of the beating for him.  Another female servant, who drove him home, said the following: (p. 63)

“I know you didn’t fall down the stairs, but you’ve got to tell your parents that you did. What I want you to know is that V.P. used to be a good Christian man. But one day in New York City, the devil got hold of V.P. He got a demon in him. And over the years, that demon has gotten stronger while he’s gotten weaker. I’ve prayed for his soul. And I’ve prayed that no demon gets hold of you. If you pray to Jesus, I know he’ll save you from all this.”

And Jesus did!  Kerth is now a Christian and has exited the System.

On another occasion, an angel appeared to him and warned him not to kill his handler, Bob.  “Stop!” This angel said to him. “Think of what they will do to your mother.” (p. 92) 

One final note.  His handler, Bob, later confessed to him, “Listen, I don’t blame you for not wanting to join. I wish I never had. I wish I could leave.  But you know too much. The Baron will never let you go.” (p. 117)

Jessie Czebodar:

In her book, Foundations of Kingdom Living, Jessie details a Satanic ritual during which a baby was supposed to be killed by her in a Catholic Church sanctuary in Rockford, IL. Jessie flat-out refused to perform this ritual and was thrown into a catacomb by one of her handlers. She was left there to (possibly) die.  Jesus came and rescued her, and said to her, “Ask me what you will.”  Jessie thought a moment and said, “I want them all to come out!” Jesus told her she would have to be brave and strong, then opened the church door, and Jessie walked back into the sanctuary, scaring the be-Jesus out of her handlers!  (FOKL p. 62-63)

William Schnoebelen:

From his book, Lucifer Dethroned, are the following highlights:

William was drawn to secret knowledge and sought to assemble the pieces of an immense, highly secret cosmic jigsaw puzzle. (p. 261). His quest for hidden knowledge led him up to the highest ranks of Masonry. He helped another Satanist put a curse on a wife and mother (p. 175) that ultimately proved to be unsuccessful.  (p. 183.) He stated that serious Satanists are often pillars in their own communities: doctors, lawyers, judges, clergy, and police. (p. 198.) William became a first-degree member of the Illuminati and a very high-level Satanist. (p. 171.)

William has a fascinating testimony, including his stints as a super high-level Mason, a Catholic Priest, a High Priest of Wicca, a very high-level Satanist, a high-level Mormon, a high-ranking Satanist, a lower-level member of the Illuminati, and a Vampire. (p. 260.)

Among other things, Bill found Wicca to be “disillusioning; it was just as full of backbiting, betrayal, doctrinal squabbles, and politics as any other religion.”

He turned to Jesus Christ because a bank teller prayed for him, and after two young women brought him three Christian comic books as a joke.  Later, he read the comic books and prayed to receive Christ by reciting the prayer at the end of one of them. Bill has said of practicing Satanists:

“They know Satan to be a cruel taskmaster. They believe themselves to have a great deal of power and ‘perks,’ but they know, deep down inside, that their reign is a tenuous one.”

I enjoyed learning from the New Age author David Wilcox:

  • David Wilcox, New Age GURU, said whistleblowers from the Cabal have told him that they must operate within a set of rules and that there are benevolent forces (i.e., angels, Jesus, God, etc.) that will prevent them from doing their jobs unless we permit them to enslave us of our own free will. The rules require them to inform us of their actions.  So, they will leave obvious “clues” that appear to be part of history or current events but seem like fiction (movies, music) to “tell us” what is going on. 
  • According to the AI overview on Google, Wilcock’s presentations and related materials state that the central “rule” of the Illuminati is that they must inform humanity of their plans to maintain their power. He suggests that this is why the Cabal employs overt symbolism and propaganda, which require the public’s implicit consent or fear-driven acceptance to maintain control. 
  • My note: The problem is that most people don’t perceive that they are giving tacit permission to the Illuminati to take over the world.  But, unfortunately, human free will and ignorance are the Illuminati’s “legal ground” that allows them to oppress and control people. I write all about “legal ground” that demons desire in my book, here:

The Franklin Coverup:

What I love about this book is it shows, to me, the Illuminati in “Damage Control Mode,” where they were so desperate that they had to discredit kids and even put them in jail, and had to murder like 17 people to keep them from testifying to their nefarious plans.  The book was fascinating. 

Here is a summary of the book:

The Franklin Coverup book, written by State Senator John DeCamp, involves a Nebraska statewide financial banking swindle of $40 million, soon exploding into a hideous tale of drugs, Iran-Contra money-laundering, a nationwide child abuse ring, and Satanic ritual murder. One of the key witnesses, a member of a child sexual abuse ring named Paul Bonnaci, also took a private tour of the White House during President Bush Sr.’s tenure.

While investigating the cover-up, the legislative committee’s chief investigator died – suddenly, and violently, like seventeen other people linked to the Franklin case. However, several indictments and even convictions were obtained, including a 15-year prison sentence for Larry King. (TFC p. 224/238)

A groundbreaking account of satanic activities in Nebraska came from a woman named Kathleen Sorenson, a foster mom to several ritualistically abused children, including two girls named Nelly and Kimberly Patterson. (TFC p. 204). She tells a terrifying tale of kids in her care reporting that they had to murder another child or infant before the age of two, children witnessing the deaths of their own friends, children being guided to kill animals, children seeing adults eating the body parts of children, and several other things I cannot mention involving children.

Kathleen Sorenson was well aware that it was dangerous to disclose to the public what she did.  She asked friends to pray for her.

She died in a head-on car crash in October of 1989, which was investigated as a Satanic Suicide Contract Killing.

Senator John DeCamp, the author of this extremely well-written and researched book, represented Paul Bonacci, a boy who had been a member of a Satanic Pedophile Ring, and had witnessed a child being raped and murdered at the Bohemian Grove. Paul Bonacci’s perjury case was suddenly dropped and DeCamp was barred from gaining access to other files in the trial.  He said,

“They dropped the charges so that the truth would never come out.”  (TFC p. 225)

DeCamp had previously stated: “We are ready for trial. When we have the trial, the entire picture of crime, drug dealing, pedophilia and child abuse, and even this Satanic cult activity, will come out, with all the personalities associated with it.” (TFC p. 225)

Here is the statement given by Senator John DeCamp regarding his summary of the case:

I have no doubt that child abuse, pedophilia, illegal drug trafficking, murder, satanic cult activity, theft, and a host of other crimes were involved in what we have come to know as the Franklin scandal. Just as surely do I believe , that there was and is a cover-up. Just as surely do I fear, that nothing will be done about it. So let me conclude by saying simply this: Bill Colby, (former head of the CIA) you were right.  It is too big. I am too small. They are too rich and powerful, and go up too high in business and government, for me to touch them or do anything about it.” (TFC p. 248)

This has Illuminati written all over it!

Please see Appendix A on page 250 of the Franklin Cover-Up, Suspicious Deaths.  There are at least 17 (15 are listed in the appendix, and one is listed in the “Updates” section on page 2 – the suspicious death of Troy Boner). Sadly, former CIA head Bill Colby also died suspiciously; he was fished out a river in front of his house in 1996. (TFC p. 277). But the two deaths that stood out to me were the death of Gary Caradori, the chief investigator for the Franklin Committee.  He had told associates a few days before his death that he had information that would “blow this case wide open.” He died when his plane crashed on July 11, 1990 (along with his eight-year-old son, A.J.).

On page 286, it talks about a Discovery Documentary called The Conspiracy of Silence, which went to great financial pains to produce and verify the accuracy and truthfulness of The Franklin Coverup and its victim-witness, Troy Boner (who later died mysteriously), was suddenly dropped right before it aired on May 3, 1994. 

Bam! All that money, time, and effort, gone.  Because the powers that be pulled it.

Two years later, Senator DeCamp found out why: the documentary connected Franklin to some of this country’s top politicians in Washington, and in the U.S. Congress, with particular attention on those who attended parties held by Larry King at his Washington mansion on Embassy Row and the impropriety of these politicians and businessmen and compromising of these people by Larry King, through drugs and using children for pedophilia.  (TFC p. 287)

I found what I believe to be the unaired documentary of the Franklin Coverup, “Conspiracy of Silence,” here:

There were several children and teens highlighted in the book who gave very damaging testimonies against rich and powerful political and businesspeople.  Many of their children were bullied and threatened (one testimony is of Troy Boner, on page 308, TFC).  The powers that be attempted to discredit them. Please see chapters 20 and 21 on p 305 and 320 for further information on the credibility of the children, including Paul Bonacci, who gave very detailed information on prominent individuals, the Bohemian Grove, and the White House tour he was a part of with a lobbyist named Craig Spence (who also died mysteriously). 

I found the Washington Times article describing this pedophile ring here:

Homosexual prostitution inquiry ensnares VIPs with Reagan, Bush

And here:

Homosexual prostitution inquiry ensnares VIPs with Reagan, Bush

For more details on how the Franklin cover-up connects to prominent officials in Washington, D.C., please read chapter 13 on page 164 of The Franklin Coverup, titled “The Washington Connection.”

To read Paul Bonacci’s extremely graphic testimony of what happened at the Bohemian Grove (child rape and murder, a child pornography snuff film, and extremely graphic and disgusting behavior, etc.), his testimony starts on p. 103.

Here are some rules that the System must follow:

  • One, protect your brother at all costs;
  • Two, the code of silence via torture or death threats;
  • And three, blackmail based on pedophilia. (AIP p. 150, 151, and 168)

There are also secrecy rules:

  • The group’s invisibility must be maintained.
  • They must never reveal to others outside of the group that they are in the group.
  • They must obey orders given by superiors, etc.  (p. 159 C,BD, and HAS)

Infiltrated Institutions:

Please know that not every Catholic, Mason, or Mormon is a part of the System. “To operate with near-complete secrecy and veiled from public view, they hide in plain sight, inside a wide variety of society’s businesses, faith institutions, government offices, and social clubs. Only a small subset of each of these organizations is Luciferian, and the rest are just regular folks.” (AIP p. 191)

Infiltrated groups also include but are not limited to: (some of) the Amish/Hutterite, public servants, the legal system, museums, art galleries, ISST-D, and Banks.  The school systems are all heavily infiltrated, even Christian schools (AIP p. 123).

Most Christian churches are also heavily infiltrated. Elaine states that most high-level Satanists regularly attend Christian churches (HCTSTCF p. 233).

Influential Organizations:

The influential organizations are alleged to include, but are not limited to:

  • The CIA (which, according to one whistleblower, is run by top Illuminati families)
  • The FBI (the Rockefellers were involved in the creation of the FBI, so the FBI has always been an arm of power for the Illuminati)” (p. 196.)
  • The NSA. “The NSA really works for the Illuminati, and most of the population of the U.S. is being watched to some degree.” (p. 198.)  At the beginning of this post, I shared quote from Edward Snowden, who said that the NSA is spying on people without their knowledge or consent.
  • The United Nations. The world’s wealthy Luciferian families control the UN. For them to create their all-powerful global plutocracy, all the diverse cultures of the world must be destroyed.   (CBDHAS p. 183.)
  • The Banks. As Ronald Bernard confirmed, the banks are influential organizations. According to Veronica Swift: “the entire banking institution is one large upper-level Luciferian club.” (AIP p. 131.)

Front Organizations:

There are several Front organizations alleged, including, but not limited to: the Bilderberg Group, the United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations, the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, the World Council of Churches, the FBI, the CIA, the EU, and others. Other whistleblowers also list these organizations.

Daily Practices:

An Illuminati Primer details everything the System is engaged in, including adoption (close to my heart), marriage (they are arranged, manipulated, or used for a cover life), breeder programs, grooming and infant abuse, cross-dressing, rituals, blood drinking, bestiality, child training, pedophilia, homosexuality, blackmail, underground tunnels, and breeding programs. Breeding is a common practice in the System. Breeding women are often chosen from childhood to have children and breed.  They may be selected due to bloodlines.  Children produced from the breeder program are used for sex, organ harvesting, cannibalization, and child sacrifice.  (AIP p. 139.)

Important calendar dates:

  • First, according to Elaine, there are eight “holy days” out of each year when human sacrifice is usually performed, which include Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and as close as possible to the first day of Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Do you remember how, back in the 1980s, people were finding harmful substances and objects in Halloween candy?  Elaine claims that Satanists were responsible for this epidemic. (HCTSTCF p. 69.)
  • Another whistleblower, Arizona Wilder, confirms the dates that Elaine mentions above. (p. 80 TISNE.) However, in my research, the dates do sometimes differ slightly depending on the whistleblower. 
  • They are important because essential meetings and blood sacrifices take place at these events. Blood sacrifices are necessary because they confer greater power on both the demon and the person. Allister Crowley said: “for the highest spiritual working, one must accordingly choose that victim which contains the greatest and purest force. A male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most satisfactory and suitable victim.” (ITI p. 177.)

George Washington:

According to researcher Mark Dice in his book, Inside the Illuminati, President George Washington said the following in a personal letter that is held in the Library of Congress (on October 24, 1798):  

“It was not my intention to doubt that, the Doctrines of the Illuminati, and principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am. The idea that I meant to convey, was, that I did not believe that the Lodges of Free Masons in this Country had, as Societies , endeavoured to propagate the diabolical tenets of the first, or pernicious principles of the latter (if they are susceptible of seperation). That Individuals of them may have done it, or that the founder , or instrument employed to found, the Democratic Societies in the United States, may have had these objects; and actually had a seperation of the People from their Government in view, is too evident to be questioned.”

Here is a link to the actual letter at the Library of Congress:

It’s The End of the World as We Know It

Rapture dreams, the Illuminati’s focus on the Antichrist, and the soon return of Jesus Christ

A few years ago, I asked my dad, an agnostic Baby Boomer former Hippie who attended Woodstock, his thoughts on the crazy times we were living in at the time.  Since he personally lived through and experienced many historical moments, I thought he would reassure me with a casual comment such as,

“Well, similar things were happening back in ‘69, so don’t worry, it will all settle back down in a year or two…” 

He thought for a moment and then said something completely unexpected:

“I think we are heading into the end times.”

I couldn’t believe the words coming out of my irreligious father, whom I had been sharing God’s love with for forty years, with no spiritual movement on his end.

Fast forward to September 2025.  It appears that there is growing momentum toward my dad’s mindset, with many people speculating that the rapture (definition forthcoming) may occur this coming September 2025, sometime within Rosh Hashanah

Regarding the timing of Jesus’ second coming, the Bible states that “no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” However, many people believe that this phrase is a Jewish idiom referring to the Feast of Trumpets, also known as Rosh Hashanah. 

So, are we heading into what the Bible refers to as the end times? And will the rapture occur this coming September 23rd or 24th?

The truth is that I have no idea, and nobody else does either. But I do think we are getting closer.  Maybe very close!

The goal of this post is to provide you, dear reader, with some interesting and compelling information related to end-time events. I desire that this material will draw you closer to God and prepare you for whatever may come. 

For context, the following blog post presents my opinion on a complex subject matter.  I cannot write with any sense of authority. 

But can I write with a sense of curiosity and with the mission to figure everything out?  Absolutely!

First, a brief overview and clarification of key terms are provided.

The book of Revelation details the very challenging time preceding the second coming of Jesus Christ, when Jesus returns as a reigning King who will conquer evil, judge humanity, and establish a new Heaven and Earth. During the seven years of the “Great Tribulation,” there will emerge an evil Anti-Christ figure who will deceive the world into following and worshiping Satan. Jesus will ultimately defeat both the Anti-Christ and the devil.

The end times refer to the last seven years of life as we know it, before Jesus returns to earth for His earthly 1000-year reign.  The second half of the seven years will be more difficult than the first.

The rapture of the church (the belief that Jesus will snatch away His believers) is mentioned in books preceding the book of Revelation. The idea is that believers in Jesus Christ will be lifted away from the three sets of wrath (wrath of the Lamb, of Satan, and of God) that the earth will endure. Refer to the P.S. section for scriptural references and a detailed examination of all things related to the end times.

The following are three reasons why I believe we are nearing the end.

Scripture and Societal Unraveling:

We are living in crazy times! I have felt this way since COVID-19 in 2020. It’s easy to see that some of what the Bible says concerning the signs of the end times is upon us.  Jesus said that in the last days there will be an uptick in wars, famines, earthquakes, persecution, and deceptive leaders.  Timothy, another Biblical writer, says that “in the last days, people will be lovers of themselves, boastful and proud, and lovers of money.”  In addition, our society is unraveling before our eyes, at least to some degree and in some localities. The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk is one example.  Rising crime rates and international instability (Russia invading Ukraine, and conflicts surrounding Israel) are other examples.

Many pastors and theologians could summarize the biblical signs of the coming end times more effectively (or differently) than I can.  

Instead, I would like to highlight two other angles that I believe are very compelling.

End Times Dreams:

There have been many people of all ages (including young children) who, over the last few months and years, have experienced rapture or end-time-related dreams and visions with eerily similar threads.  Many people report that Jesus appears to them to tell them one of four things: one, He is coming back soon; two, the rapture is happening soon (like September 23-25 of this year soon); three, the end times are upon us; or four, how God spoke to them about a three-day darkness event, with the rapture occurring within those three days.  

These dreams, visions, and prophecies align with the Bible. 

According to Acts 2:17:

“And it shall come to pass that in the last days, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophecy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.”

It would be very easy for me to dismiss the dreams, visions, prophecies, and testimonies, except for one teeny tiny problem:

Three people in my immediate circle also had similar dreams. 

Below is a recap of those dreams.   

Rapture Dream (close friend Felita): Felita finally finishes the book she has been writing for two years and closes her laptop with a sense of satisfaction.  She hears a trumpet blast.  Immediately, she is brought up to Heaven in the rapture and sees Jesus.  She is filled with complete joy and peace.  She wakes up. 

Second Coming of Jesus Dream (daughter): My daughter is driving past a field, notices cars pulled over, and sees people outside of their vehicles, looking out. She exits her car and notices that the sky is dark, cloudy, and electric, with a visible rainbow in the lower portion of the sky.  A massive bolt of lightning strikes the ground. She looks up and sees Jesus appear in the sky.  My daughter falls to her knees in awe.  She then hears screaming and notices that people next to her have fallen to their knees, screaming in terror.  My daughter’s impression is that these people are screaming because they realize that Jesus is here, that they have been wrong about Him the whole time, and that death and suffering await them in Hades. She wakes up.

Post Rapture Apocalypse Dream (family): This person is driving through a destroyed city on a bike, attempting to escape a horde of people who are trying to kill him.  He is on the run because a horrible person is trying to force everyone to take a mark on their hand or forehead to survive, and he refuses to accept this mark. He wakes up!  This person has experienced the same dream three times consecutively.

I asked him if he thought he was “left behind” after the rapture.  He said, “Maybe God left me behind for a reason.”

But if biblical signs and dreams with common threads were not enough for you, I understand.  However, here is one final perspective to consider, one that you have most likely never encountered before.

You’re not going to like this, but according to the Luciferian Brotherhood, a group of high-ranking Satanists who run the world, we are very close to the end times. 

First, a moment of context. A few months ago, I began researching the fiction book I am writing, with an emphasis on the elusive organization known as the Illuminati. At first, I thought the Illuminati was all conspiracy hogwash, and that I would find very little to support the claim that this organization even exists!

Turns out, the Illuminati does exist!

By divine providence, I came across an excellent book called An Illuminati Primer.  The book uses the testimonies of several defectors, whistleblowers, survivors, and escapees to paint a very horrifying picture of this elusive group called the Illuminati. I will link the book in the P.S. section.

Also called the Luciferian Brotherhood, the System, the Cabal, and the Deep State, etc., the Illuminati is a highly secretive medium to large group of people at every level of life and government, who have infiltrated the whole world with an evil, Satanic agenda, whose goal is to worship Satan and do whatever he pleases, and also to set up government, religious, and monetary systems which will be used to introduce and support the Anti-Christ. The Anti-Christ will claim to be the second coming of Christ and bring a false peace to the world. He will force everyone to take a mark or a chip to buy and sell. He will eventually force people to worship him, while he himself worships Satan, a.k.a. Lucifer. The end goal of all of this is for Satan to raise an army of human beings who are possessed by demons, with the intent to take over God’s throne and thus rule not only the world but the entire universe.

Does this all sound too lofty and out of reach for you?  Does your personal worldview not include God, the devil, or a spiritual world?  If that’s the case, I understand. The author of the book, Veronica Swift, points out that you don’t have to believe in God, Satan, or any higher power to educate yourself with this book and understand the organization’s agenda. 

But you must understand this: they themselves strongly believe in all of it, and everything they are doing now is for a larger purpose, which is mainly to honor and glorify their god, Lucifer, and organize themselves around a one-world system that is focused on the installation of the Anti-Christ.

These people are powerful, well-connected, and well-funded.  Dismiss them at your own peril.

I will now present what the Illuminati is focused on. 

Again, you are not going to like it. 

The Illuminati and the Anti-Christ:

Much of what the Illuminati is doing these days seems to revolve around preparations for what are termed the ‘end times,’ or what Christians might know as the Apocalypse predicted in the Bible’s New Testament Book of Revelation. This System orchestrated End Times is also called the Great Deception, because when the Anti-Christ springs on the scene and the masses of people worldwide become aware of him for the first time, they are supposed to be in awe of him and believe that he is the second coming of Christ.” (p. 47)

According to one key whistleblower, the Anti-Christ has taken over a key leadership position which was once held by a woman called the Queen Mother of Darkness in the year 2020 (p. 49).  The implication is that the Anti-Christ is just waiting for his cue to sweep in and rule the world.

In my humble opinion, that cue will be the rapture of the Church, or if the United States is greatly minimized or destroyed, and/or the System’s goals (monetary, religious, government) are in place.

The New World Order:

Another key insight I gained from this book is that several key objectives of the New World Order must be fully implemented. Their goals are as follows:

  • One, they wish to take over and govern the world.
  • Two, the U.S. currency must be totally devalued.
  • Three, they will create a second pandemic, which is highly fatal to young children.
  • Finally, they wish to implement hate laws against Christianity, Judaism, and any political group that does not agree with the agenda.” (Chapter 22.)

Digging deeper into these four goals, you can see that the folks behind the Anti-Christ agenda need a period of worldwide instability to set the stage for this helpful and amazing Anti-Christ figure to step in and fix everything.

Do you think our world is becoming increasingly unstable?  I do!

I will now transition to what I believe still must take place before the seven-year window begins.  With that said, the seven-year window could start, and then the following three things will fall into place afterwards.  Both options are possible.

A Great Shaking to Awaken:

I believe that the world must experience a Great Awakening (revival) event first, which will bring many people into the family of God.  There are some signs that this movement is happening as we speak, with the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk and the outpouring of support, an increase in church attendance, and many college campuses and students experiencing spiritual awakening.  In addition, Mel Gibson has finally started filming the sequel to The Passion of the Christ (August 2025), which I believe God will use to draw people to Himself. Many prophetic intercessors are also speaking about potential challenging future events that will shake people awake, with an outpouring of God’s Spirit to follow.

The Third Temple in Jerusalem Rebuilt, and the Gospel Preached:

Certain Biblical events must happen before the end, among them: the Temple in Israel must be rebuilt, and the gospel must be preached to the entire world.  Some people believe that the Red Heifer must also be sacrificed after the Temple is built.

Based on the limited research I have conducted, we are still some distance away from realizing those first two goals.

The Temple is important because when it is finally rebuilt, the Anti-Christ can stand in the middle of it and claim to be God (or Messiah).  (An Illuminati Primer, page 50.)

The Acceptance of Extra-Terrestrial Entities:

At some point in the future, either before or after the rapture, there will be an introduction and acceptance of Extra-Terrestrial entities.  They may promise help and technology, but don’t be deceived.  After much research, I have learned that the message of the extraterrestrial entities has proven to be New-Age, anti-Christian, and mirroring a false end-times scenario. These demonic aliens will no doubt deceive many people to align with the Anti-Christ and to receive his mark, to trust in him, and to worship him. They will also deceive mankind into believing that the rapture of God is a removal of the undesirables who have outdated religious thoughts. These demonic aliens will promote world peace through a one-world spiritual system, a one-world government, and a one-world leader of their choosing. Their covert goals are to abolish all systems that are based on the Bible and begin the Age of Aquarius (a period of time based on intellectualism, equality, innovation, and global interconnectedness).

If the goals of the Extra Terrestrials sound like the goals of the Illuminati, they are! I also find it interesting that UFOs are all over the news.  Consider the interstellar object called 31 Atlas. It’s large, very fast, has no tail like a typical comet, and has a puzzling forward glow. It is set to come close to our sun in late October 2025 (coming right up). A Harvard professor thinks it could be alien technology. 

The Collapse of the U.S. Dollar:

The Anti-Christ system is a one-world monetary system, run by Lucifer and the System.  That means the U.S. dollar cannot be the world’s currency.  There are signs that the U.S. dollar is weakening, and world leaders are coalescing around other currencies and economic opportunities. I also theorize that the Anti-Christ needs to move the whole world to a digital platform to control people. When both happen, buckle up.   

Closing Thoughts:

This was a hard post for me to write. I don’t want to put my neck out and be wrong.  However, I also feel a moral and spiritual obligation to share my thoughts on what I am learning. 

If indeed we are embarking on the end times, I am praying and asking God to stay behind and not be raptured up.  I want to be a resource for people and lovingly point them to Christ in their hour of need.  I realize that, if I stay, it will make my life much more complicated, and that I could be killed for my beliefs, as I refuse to take the mark or bend the knee to the Anti-Christ.

This morning, I woke up extra early and asked God to speak to me about the end times.  To be honest, I got nothing.  So, I will continue to watch and wait, pray for wisdom and discernment, and share the gospel as much as I can (in a normal, non-panicky way).

I will close on a positive note!

Remember my agnostic dad that I mentioned at the beginning of this post?  I was thrilled to hear that he recently asked Jesus Christ to forgive him of his sins and come into his heart and life to be his Savior, God, and King.  He is a new creation in Jesus Christ and is slowly growing closer to God every day!

For those of you who are undecided about God and Jesus, I would like to offer you one final thought, as it pertains to my daughter’s dream. 

In her dream, as soon as she saw Jesus, she fell to her knees in awe and reverence.  Others fell on their faces, screaming in terror.  There is an interesting Bible verse that lines up with her dream.

Revelation 1:7 says:

“Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the tribes on earth will wail on account of Him.”

Trust me, at the very end, you don’t want to be on your knees wailing.

Please consider allowing Jesus to come into your heart, forgive you of your sins, and start a new life with Him. The gospel is this: God sent His only son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life. 

Thank you for reading this sobering post.  May God bless you and may God continue to bless America (and keep its currency strong). 😊

P.S. Thank you for reading. Below is further reading on the end times, links to the two books I mentioned, and the chapter on the book of Revelation I wrote for my book.  Happy digging!

I used A.I. images for the photos in this post.

Scriptural references for the rapture include: I Thes, 4:13-18, I Cor. 15: 51, Matt. 24: 40, and Luke 17: 34 -34).

Scriptural references for the end times include Matthew, chapters 24-25. Jesus’s end-times discourse of what will indicate the time of the end consists of wars, famines, earthquakes, persecution, and deceptive leaders. In addition, 2 Timothy chapter 3 states that, “there will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and unholy.” There are several other Biblical references for the end times.

CHAPTER 11

THE END TIMES

The Book of Revelation, the coming deception, the Anti-Christ, and preparation for the end times.

I am a child of the 1980s and remember my sister and I watching A Thief in the Night, a four-part rapture series at our youth group. Those movies were terrifying in their own low-budget, cheesy Christian sort of way, and I made an inner vow that I would never, ever take the “mark of the beast” when the time came.

Fast forward to 1988, when my entire family read the book called 88 Reasons Why the Rapture Will Be in 1988 by Edgar C Whisenant. I admit the book was interesting and compelling, and probably did serve to curb my teenage rebellious steak a little. Personally, I didn’t really believe that the actual rapture would happen in 1988, as the Bible says that “no one knows the day or the hour, only God,” (see Matthew 24:36) as to the timing of the rapture. 

Around that time, I had a friend whose dad was a pastor and had read this book, along with his wife. They were convinced that Jesus was coming back in 1988! However, they were not so convinced that their rebellious teenage daughter (my friend) would be “caught up in the clouds,” as they say. 

Her parents would drop her off at school and tell her: “Now remember, if we are raptured during the day today, and you are still here, you can go stay with your grandma,” while they shooed her out of the car and off to school. 

1988 came and went. Fast forward to 2023. One sunny summer day, my agnostic, Baby Boomer dad and I were talking about how America had drastically changed, disturbing natural and man-made events were occurring all over the world, and the fabric of society was unraveling before our very eyes. I had been wondering if he had any thoughts on what was going on. 

He blandly replied: “I think we are heading into the end times.”

I looked at my dad in disbelief! I couldn’t believe that he would come up with that theory on his own, especially as an agnostic. 

In this chapter, I want to do some shallow digging into the most difficult and controversial book of the entire Bible: the Book of Revelation. My goal is to help all of us with simple tools, some spiritual in nature, in the event we are indeed heading into the time right before the second coming of Jesus Christ. 

This chapter is also futuristically written for those who are “left behind,” as they say, or those who come into a relationship with the Lord after the rapture has occurred. 

A few qualifiers

I must confess that this chapter was not in the original draft, and I never wanted to touch the end times or the Book of Revelation with a ten-foot pole. But in my spirit and my gut, I wonder that we are heading into the time of the last days, for a variety of reasons. My hesitation in writing on this chapter is that I am not a theologian or a pastor. But then it occurred to me that it’s okay to offer a layperson’s perspective on spiritual topics, as this is one of the main themes of this book you are currently reading!

So, please understand that this chapter is mostly conjecture and speculation on my part. And to be fair, there is no layman or seasoned professional who knows exactly what the period known as the end times is going to look like. In addition, no one knows the timing of the rapture. 

Feel free to take this chapter with a grain of salt and do your own research! Before we work our way through the weeds, I will offer an overview of the Book of Revelation. 

The Book of Revelation in a nutshell

Below are the major themes of the Book of Revelation (and other biblical content preceding it):

  • Jesus is coming back to earth for a second time. Every person will see Him. Those who don’t know Him or believe in Him will mourn when He returns. I believe that they will mourn because they know that they didn’t choose to believe in Him while they had their opportunities, and they will have received many opportunities preceding this moment. 
  • At some point, God will rapture Christians to heaven to be with Jesus as He comes to earth for the second time. In the Greek, the word for rapture is harpazo, which translates to “snatch” or “take away.” Many Bible scholars and theologians believe this will happen at the outset of the Great Tribulation, but there are differences in opinion on this.
  • There will be a great deception, where Satan and his demons will deceive the whole world into following an Anti-Christ figure. This person will be controlled or possessed by Satan and will rule over all the inhabitants of the earth, and force everyone to take a mark or symbol. This mark will enable people to buy food and other necessities to survive but will also require they show worship and alignment with this person. I have an opinion about how the whole world will be deceived, which I will share in a moment. 
  • Satan’s goals are to make war against the saints (meaning Christians), and to deceive the whole world into worshipping him, thus ultimately destroying them in the process.
  • The Great Tribulation is a time of God’s judgment and wrath (one definition of wrath is “anger at sin”) being poured out on the earth, which will lead to many distressing natural disasters and other challenging events. It will last seven years, with the first half being very difficult and disruptive but less horrific than the second half. The second half will be catastrophic, and many millions or even billions of people will likely perish. 
  • God will still draw people to Himself despite the chaos and suffering. There will likely be a large revival preceding the coming judgments and smaller revivals within the seven-year period. An Angel of God will fly out over the whole earth, to be visible to all people, both to draw people to God, and to warn people to refrain from taking the mark of the AntiChrist. Two times in the Book of Revelation it states that even through all the suffering, people still do not repent of their sin and worship God. Despite mankind resisting Him, God still attempts to draw humans to Himself, as He wishes none to perish, but everyone to turn to Him.
  • The Battle of Armageddon is a huge war between good and evil. It occurs at the very end of the great tribulation. God wins. 
  • The Millennial Reign of Christ occurs when Jesus comes to earth again. Jesus Christ will become the actual and physical King over all the earth. This period will last 1,000 years. There will be a new Heaven and a new Earth. 
  • The Great White Throne Judgment will occur after the 1,000-year reign. This is the judgment for fallen angels, Satan, and those who, of their own free will, did not choose Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord while they were alive on earth. If anyone chooses the mark of the Anti-Christ, unfortunately, they will suffer for all eternity in hell. 

A few thoughts on the coming judgments.

There will be three “waves” or sets of judgments. The first set of judgments is called the Seven Seal judgments. This includes the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which many have heard of. 

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the first judgments out of the gate and begin the time of distress on the earth. The first horse is white and symbolic of the rule and reign of the Anti-Christ. The second horse is red and is associated with war. The third horse is black and is associated with scarcity (implying food, water, or resource shortages). The last horse is the worst of this first grouping: it is a pale horse and is associated with the death of one-quarter of the world’s population through war, famine, disease, and wild or evil creatures. 

If you do the math, during the first set of judgments, it is possible that up to two billion people will perish.

Two billion!

Interestingly, these first seven judgments are like the Egyptian plagues from the Book of Exodus. 

The second set of judgments is called the Seven Trumpets judgments, and the final set is called the Seven Bowls judgments. The judgments get progressively worse and cause cataclysmic world events, resulting in the deaths of many people, animals, and other forms of life. 

The trouble on the earth includes, but is not limited to the following: an increase of evil; the outbreak of many wars; death, destruction, earthquakes, famines, food shortages, undrinkable water, pain, and anguish; fire that burns a significant portion of the earth; large hailstones; a large star falling to the earth and poisoning the drinking water; evil locusts that torture people, and much more.

Right before the last set of judgments, an Angel goes out to the whole earth and urges mankind to turn from their sin and receive the gospel of Jesus, because the hour of His judgment is close.

This is what the Angel says in Revelation 14: 

“Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come, and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water” (v. 7).

“If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark, they too will drink the wine of God’s fury” (v. 9).

“They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb” (v. 10).

Evil beasts during the end times?

I want to speak briefly about the concept of evil beasts as part of the fourth judgment. Ezekiel 34:25 says, “I will make with them a covenant of peace and banish wild beasts from their land.”

Except, when you look at the actual Greek word used for “wild” it is ra which translates to “evil.”  

It is well known in Satanism that there are shapeshifters, werewolves, and other evil creatures that Satan uses to accomplish his purposes. Rebecca told a story in one of her books where she was driving home one night, and her car suddenly stopped working. Up ahead, she saw a werewolf, who told her (through her thoughts) that he was going to kill her. She rebuked it and commanded it to leave in Jesus’s name. It went. 

One of her clients told her that werewolves were used heavily in Satanism to punish wayward members. I have listened to many stories of dogmen, wendigo, skin-walkers, not-deer, and similar creatures, who have glowing red eyes and project hate and fear wherever they go. I have heard stories of people tracking large wolf tracks that gradually shift over to human footprints! One YouTuber, who documents these types of stories, claims that sightings and encounters of these creatures are on the rise. 

Who is to say they won’t make an appearance during the end times? If you happen to be the unfortunate soul who comes across some of these monsters, resist fear and stand your ground. Rebuke them, renounce them, and command them to leave in Jesus’s name.  

Are we nearing the end?

I personally believe we are closer to the second coming of Jesus Christ. Here are a few reasons why I think this is true: 

  • Chaos in the Middle East
  • Israel becoming a state after 1,900 years
  • The spread of the gospel to remote regions
  • Signs in the heavens and the earth (the rise in major earthquakes, for example)
  • The spread of evil and occult acceptance
  • Declining moral standards and societal unraveling
  • A rise in interest and acceptance of the extraterrestrial phenomena

Below is a passage in the Book of Matthew from the very words of Jesus. I will highlight the main themes. As you read His words, ask yourself if what He says to be on guard for is happening today. 

Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. 

Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:4-14).

While I don’t have time to get into deep theology in this book, I would like to point out that major earthquakes have been increasing dramatically since the 1980s; Israel is a state again after 1900 years of being exiled and spread out (see the article in My Jewish Learning by Jeremy Moses); wars are certainly on the increase; many Christians have begun to turn away from the gospel, and Christian persecution is on the rise. 

I don’t personally know whether the gospel has now been preached to the world. I have heard many stories of Muslims and those of other faiths having dreams about Jesus, and them eventually converting to Christianity. It seems to me that we are indeed closer to the second coming of Jesus Christ, which leads me to my next point. 

The timing of the rapture

There is a heated debate among Christians regarding the timing of the rapture. Will it come right before the start of the seven years, in the middle, or towards the end? 

Most traditional Christian theologians and Bible scholars believe it will occur before the seven-year tribulation begins. This is called the pre-tribulation rapture theory in Christian bubbles. Others believe that the rapture will occur about halfway through it (3.5 years into the process) before God’s wrath is poured out and catastrophic events occur.

A minority of Christians postulate that all believers will go through the entire tribulation period but be protected from God’s judgments, as they will be protected by some sort of seal. Although there may be a certain protection against God’s judgments, unfortunately, the Bible indicates that many Christians will still be martyred for their faith in Christ during this time.

My personal thought is that the rapture will occur halfway through the seven-year period, but we shall see. I would rather be completely ready in the event we have to go through some, half, or all seven years of the tribulation period. 

The Boy Scouts’ motto is one we should all live in accordance with:

Be prepared.

The Anti-Christ

A religious and political leader called the Anti-Christ will emerge and will most likely bring some sort of peace and economic stability to the world, as well as usher in a one-world currency and one-world government. This person will rule and reign on earth for three and a half years. 

In the Greek language, anti-Christ means “Christ Counterfeit.” The Bible states that the Anti-Christ will have been mortally wounded and have come back to life, and his False Prophet (the person who supports him and points to his authority) will perform many signs and wonders. This will result in much deception and worship of the AntiChrist (also referred to as the Beast in Scripture). 

There are at least six Bible verses regarding the Anti-Christ, including the following: Daniel 7:24, Matthew 24:24, 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 1 John 2:18, 2 John 7, and Revelation 13:1-10. I will highlight a few of these verses.

Revelation 13:5-8 states:  

“The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months (3.5 years). He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. He was given the power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Book of Life.”

In Revelation 13:16-17, it says:

“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell.”

According to 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, and Revelation 13:14, the Beast will attempt to deceive the entire world. Two highlights of the verses are as follows: 

“Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, and it (the Beast) deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.”

So how exactly will the whole world be deceived? I have a theory. 

The UFO and extraterrestrial phenomena

Many years ago, I worked at Concerned Women for America (CWA), a conservative women’s public policy organization. I was friends with the girls who worked in the radio department and often wandered over to their section of the office building to chat with them. The radio department was sent a huge number of books from budding authors in hopes that CWA would feature them on their radio show. 

One day, I picked up a random book about UFOs, alien life forms, and extraterrestrial (E.T.) beings from a Christian perspective. The author asserted (with research) that whenever these E.T. aliens appeared to people, many times they had a strangely anti-Christian religious message to give to them. The aliens would say, in effect: “Shake off your old religious ways and come into a higher way of thinking.” They may have said seemingly nice things to people too, about technology and resources, but I don’t remember. However, I found it strange that their anti-Christian messages were repeated to numerous people with whom they made contact.

Fast forward to today. 

I honestly didn’t believe in the E.T. phenomenon, but I perked up when the U.S. government finally admitted to the existence of UFOs and other unexplained anomalous phenomena (U.A.P.s), after decades of ignoring or denying it. The federal government even hosted a hearing in the U.S. Senate on the topic. The hearing included three military veterans who testified that the U.S. government had operated a secret multi-decade reverse engineering program of recovered vessels. They also stated that the U.S. had recovered non-human “biologics” from alleged crash sites (Romo & Chappell, 2023).  

I am currently reading a book by Missler and Eastman called Alien Encounters, where the authors assert that extraterrestrial (E.T.) beings are giving a more “New Age” message to psychic medium channelers, who then have written numerous books on their messages and goals. The aliens communicate messages that are different from what you might expect. 

Below are a few highlights of what I discovered in this book:

  • Their messages are primarily apocalyptic, religious, and antiBiblical (p. 254).
  • Lucifer is a misunderstood extraterrestrial who gives us a gift of freedom. If we accept this gift, then we are free. This is the Luciferian initiation. It is one that many people know, and in the days ahead, will be facing, for it is an initiation into the New Age (p. 157-158).
  • There will be a mass evacuation of people on earth who do not fit Mother Earth’s vibrations because of their traditional religious thinking (This is discussed in detail in Chapter 9 and summarized on p. 184).
  • Mother Earth will experience changes such as earthquakes, famine, pestilence, wars, poverty, and violence. These are simply “birth pangs” of Mother Earth as she attempts to usher in a new age of peace and prosperity followed by global governance” (p. 177).
  • The E.T.s advocate for a world leader who will “unify the world in peace and brotherhood with technological answers to solve our problems” (p. 177). This evacuation is to remove those who no longer fit in, those whose thought patterns are of the past (p. 186). After certain people are removed, and when enough people have the right vibrations, the New Age of peace, harmony, and brotherhood will arrive (pp. 178, 191-192, etc.).
  • The earth’s changes are not the wrath of God, but rather they are the birth pangs of our Earth Mother who is trying to expel the “dark forces” from her surface so she can evolve. They also state that there will be an arrival of a new, highly evolved humanoid-hybrid species, which will be in vibration or harmony with Mother Earth (p. 256).
  • Jesus is a superior E.T., who will also return with other UFO spaceships at the right time, and all people on earth will indeed witness this. He will come surrounded by a fleet of glittering spaceships, objects which you call UFOs (p. 155).
  • During abduction and channeling experiences, aliens give prophetic messages (which often turn out to be false) and profess a benevolent purpose while doing painful experiments and performing sexual activities with their human victims (p. 248).
  • According to the teachings of the Pleiadeans (a group of evolved E.T.s), “mankind stands at a quantum leap of evolution that will abolish religious and government systems as we know them” (p. 148).
  • Lastly, many thousands of people claim to have been removed from their homes or other locations by E.T.s and are sexually assaulted or have some kind of sexual experimentation conducted on them. These activities suggest or infer that the E.T.s are attempting to make a humanoidhybrid species, as they have indicated to psychic medium channelers (pp. 256, 259).

What the UFO experts say

Many mostly secular UFO researchers have concluded that modernday aliens may very well be the equivalent of fallen angels who are demonic entities (Missler & Eastman, 2023, p. 247).

According to Dr. Pierre Guerin, a well-known UFO researcher, “UFO behavior is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it…the modern UFO-nauts and the demons of past days are probably identical” (p. 247).

John Keel is an internationally renowned UFO researcher who stated: 

Demonology is the ancient and scholarly study of demons who have co-existed with man throughout history. The manifestations and occurrences described in this imposing literature (in other words, demonology literature) are similar, if not entirely identical, to the UFO phenomenon itself. Victims of demonomania (possession) suffer the very same medical and emotional symptoms as the UFO contactees. The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological problem (p. 248).

Stuart Goldman concluded his research with the following comments: 

50,000 people cannot be lying. Something is here – probing them, inspecting them, and planting thoughts in their minds. Are we seeing the formation of a new and highly destructive cult, one whose views posit the elimination of people who are unfit to exist in the coming New World? Are they really demonic entities hovering about, searching for likely candidates…the answer is not easily forthcoming (p. 249250).

Gordon Creighton, editor of the British periodical Flying Saucer Review said: 

“Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic possession. I do believe that the great bulk of these phenomena are what is called Satanic” (p. 258).

Jaques Vallee, who received much criticism from fellow researchers for his views, stated the following: 

I pointed out in the “Invisible College” that the structure of abduction stories was identical to that of occult initiation rituals. I had shown in “Passport to Magonia” (his previous work) that contact with UFO-nauts was only a modern-day extension of the age-old tradition of contact with non-human consciousness in the form of angels, demons, elves, and sylphs. Such contact includes abduction, ordeal (including surgical operations), and sexual intercourse with aliens. It often leaves marks and scars on the body and the mind, as do UFO abductions (p. 253).

“Even secular researchers have concluded that the UFOs and their occupants are demonic” (Miller & Eastman, 2023, p. 321).

In summary, the message of the extraterrestrial entities has proven to be New-Age, anti-Christian, and mirroring a false, end-times scenario. These demonic aliens will no doubt deceive many millions of people to align with the Anti-Christ and to receive his mark, to trust in him, and to worship him. They will also deceive mankind into believing that the rapture of God is a removal of the undesirables who have outdated religious thoughts. 

The demonic aliens are in lockstep with the goals of the New Age movement. As touched on in the last chapter, their goals are to create world peace through unification in a one-world spiritual system and a one-world government through a one-world leader of their choosing.

Their covert goals are to abolish all systems that are based on the Bible and begin the Age of Aquarius. They endeavor to convert Western religious beliefs into those of Eastern thought (Miller & Eastman, 2023, p. 145). 

E.T.s and the name of Jesus

I have no direct knowledge of anyone experiencing contact with an extraterrestrial demonic being. I did a quick look online and found the following from a former New Ager turned Christian who worked with many individuals with these experiences. 

This is what she had to say:

Having worked as a secular Counselor previously (Mental Health, Trauma, Bereavement) and with many traumatic alien abduction cases, as well as a hypnotherapist, I also ran experiencer support groups for those who were having abduction experiences. I believe the entities are NOT Extraterrestrial biological entities from other stars, planets, or galaxies but rather

interdimensional in their nature and demonic in the entirety of their being. I also believe they have supernatural abilities to cross the veil at their will and they do, and that they have what we would call shape-shifting abilities to present /however they want YOU to perceive them. They are masters of manipulation and deception. Remember that these entities are imposters for being represented as Benevolent.

This person ended their summary with probably the most important thing they could say, and it goes in keeping with the book you are holding in your hand: 

I want to make a point loud and clear that if the mentioning of the name of JESUS is powerful enough to make those socalled “Aliens” flee, then they are NOT Aliens indeed. They are demonic entities. They will flee and instantaneously dissolve right before your eyes, with the name of JESUS (Nachtigal, 2021).

In my research, I was able to locate testimonies of those who have experienced E.T.s from a Christian angle. One website is the “Alien Resistance HQ” at http://www.alienresistance.org/, which goes into long accounts of biblical truths about the description of angels, fallen angels, aliens, and UFOs.

Rebecca had a client who was experiencing demonic oppression.

Her client later admitted that she encountered a UFO spacecraft and God had warned her to look away. She dismissed the still small voice and watched it for quite some time. She ended up experiencing demonic oppression and came to Rebecca for help. Rebecca stated the following: “That was the doorway. I always suspected that the UFOs were demonic phenomena, especially in light of the tremendous emphasis placed on them by the New Age movement and other pagan religions” (Brown, 1992, in “Prepare for War,” p. 299.)  

Spiritual preparation for the end times

I will close out this chapter with a few thoughts on ways to be prepared in the event we find ourselves alive during the great tribulation (or more likely the time preceding it). Please pray about ways you can be on guard and act in accordance with the times we are living in. 

First, we will all need wisdom and patient endurance. In Revelation 13:18 we read: “This calls for wisdom. Let the person with insight calculate the number of the beast…666.”  

In Revelation 14:12, it says “This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.”  

Be on guard against deception. Ask God to protect your heart and mind. Pray against a spirit of deception and a lying spirit. Continually read and study the word of God, so that you will have wisdom, and avoid being deceived. 

Get prepared with food, water, and provisions. As we don’t know when the rapture could occur, it’s good to be ready. Have a plan of where to go (and with like-minded people) in the event things get crazy. 

Remember you will need freshwater in abundant supply. Think about living near lakes, rivers, and streams. 

Do not, under any circumstances, receive the mark, symbol, tattoo, sign, implanted chip, scarf, tie, or coat of the Anti-Christ. Remember what the Angel said. 

Apply the principles of what you have learned in this book: put on the full armor of God each day; anoint your home and other places with olive oil and plant crosses; command demons to leave in Jesus’s name, and pray around public areas, to start. If you encounter an E.T. entity, command it to leave you in Jesus’s name. If you see a flying saucer or UFO in the sky, command it to leave in Jesus’s name. 

Remember God’s heart for the unbeliever. According to 2 Peter 3:9, Christ is delaying His return because He is patient with us, not wanting any to perish, but all to be saved. People will be scared, desperate, needing help in every way (including financially), and hurting. Give them the hope of eternal life in heaven with Jesus and provide for their practical needs. The Book of Revelation is God’s giant “last call” to all of humanity. 

No matter how long we are here on planet Earth, remember the following excellent advice from the Book of Peter:

“But in your heart, set aside Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do so with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15).

Soon, we will be in heaven for all eternity. The only thing that will really matter, besides loving and serving God and others, is looking around the room and seeing how many souls you led to Christ while you had the chance. Don’t know where to start? Pray and ask God to help you to become a soul winner. When we stand before the Lord, there will be an accounting of how we lived our lives. It is important to share the gospel and to plant seeds of faith in others. No other activity we do during our time on earth will be as important as being a soul winner.

Finally, keep looking up! One day, Jesus will come back in the sky. He is your redemption! Remember that in the end, Jesus wins.

In the next and final chapter (which is very short), one particular and helpful class of angels will be touched upon, as well as a brief and relatable call to action will be presented.           

Chapter 11 summary

The Book of Revelation is the final book of the Bible and details the second coming of Jesus Christ. Before His second coming, there will be distressing events on the earth, including the rise of an Anti-Christ figure who will force everyone to take some sort of mark or chip. There are many judgments, but God continues to draw people to Himself during this difficult time. He even sends an Angel out to be visible to the whole earth to invite everyone to worship God and to reject the Anti-Christ. 

I believe that extraterrestrial beings are demonic spirits, who will be used by Satan to deceive the entire world into worshipping Satan and the Anti-Christ. There are ways to be spiritually prepared during these difficult times, including patient endurance, wisdom, using basic spiritual warfare principles, and being as prepared as possible for every scenario, including if Christians must endure all or part of the great tribulation. 

Pray and ask God to help you to save souls. When you get to heaven and look around, you will be so happy that you did. 

Finally, keep looking up, because in the end, Jesus wins!

I Published My First Book!

Why I wrote a book on the topic of demonic spirits, plus a quick update on our adoption of a teenager from Colombia!

Yes, that’s me! I wrote a book about demonic oppression and all things pertaining to evil spirits, and how to get rid of them. It took me a full year and a half to write this book! Read on for all the deets!

My husband Erik and I are currently staying in a hotel in a small city in Colombia, where we are in the process of adopting a teenage boy named Sam! After an extensive ten-year wait, we are finally adopting again! Pictures of Sam and Colombia are included at the end of this post, so be sure to read all the way to the end!

Erik and I have become acquainted with other American parents at our hotel as we await our “sentencing,” one of the final pieces of the adoption process. Many of the children at this hotel are being adopted by foreign and U.S. families, so it has been a neat experience seeing the kids play together while the parents swap adoption stories, parenting advice, and personal anecdotes by the hotel pool.

Inevitably, the “What do you do for work?” question floated through the air, and many parents piped in with their line of work. I told a few ladies I am mostly a stay-at-home parent but also dabble in writing and recently wrote a book. One woman asked about the book’s concept, and I gave her the cliff-note version. She seemed interested and said she would order a copy.

As I sat there wondering if I summarized my book properly, I was reminded how much I hate marketing and promoting myself. I believe the root of this is that I secretly fear rejection. Announcing to people that I wrote a book leaves me susceptible to disinterest, a mild form of rejection.  

Case in point: I took six months to write one simple blog post announcing my book to the 100 people who subscribe to my blog. I am even couching it with an adoption update to increase impact and draw readers.

So, please give me two minutes to present my book,  A Path to Freedom through Deliverance: Reducing Demonic Activity in People and Places.

Here are just a few of the issues presented in the book:

  • Do demonic spirits exist, and if so, do we have to worry about them?
  • What do you do if you suspect evil spirits are harassing you?
  • Have you ever had patterns or behaviors that you feel trapped by or cannot gain mastery over?
  • Are you experiencing strange things that go bump in the night in your home or other location?
  • What are the doorways that we unwittingly open to allow demonic spirits to enter our lives?
  • Isn’t deliverance scary, like the Hollywood movies portray?
  • Do I need a deliverance?
  • Is there anything we can do about evil spirits?
  • How can I protect my kids and my family from evil?

This book had its origins in my own deliverance story. Almost ten years ago, I received freedom over darkness and obsessive thought patterns through the power of Jesus Christ. I have been happily set free ever since. Then I learned through mentorship and experience how to minister freedom to others and bring light into their darkness. I tell the stories of the captives who have been free and equip regular people to access the power of God to protect themselves and those they love from the things that lurk in the shadows and seek to destroy us.

The book digs into the many symptoms of demonic oppression (including negative emotions and addictions, trouble with relationships, suicidal thoughts, feelings of shame or guilt that won’t resolve, or a feeling that something is working against you, etc.), how to protect your family from demonic spirits, a mini-primer on the occult, ways that demons prevent people from coming to Christ, and thoughts on the End Times and extra-terrestrial entities.

I also highlight what really happens during a deliverance session based on the model I used, and how it’s not as scary as what Hollywood would have you believe.

Here are two quick stories from the book:

Story one: Due to a severely dysfunctional family life, our client Jasmine suffered from severe demonic activity and oppression in her adult life. During her deliverance, she shared a terrifying story from her childhood. One night, while she was in her dark room trying to fall asleep, she felt water dripping from her ceiling and looked up. She was terrified to see a demon hovering above her bed, with an evil expression. It was dripping a substance on her with its long claws. She screamed and ran to the bathroom only to find that the “water” she assumed was dripping on her was blood! Many years later, Jesus used our small deliverance team to set her free from many demonic spirits.

Story two: Twice in five years, our deliverance team experienced two scary demonic manifestations. Once, our client “Liz” started to rock back and forth, and her eyes became small and evil-looking. The Lord told me that Liz was about to pounce on me! I immediately stood up and commanded that the demon stop manifesting, in Jesus’s name. Immediately, Liz became normal again. The rest of the process went smoothly, and Liz later joined our deliverance team! At another deliverance, our client Sarah swore at me and her head flew backward in a dangerous way. I immediately stood up and told the demon it must stop controlling Sarah in the name of Jesus. Sarah calmed down and our team commanded that the demon leave.  It left! By the way, in the model I use, scary demonic manifestations are rare and can be managed.

So why did I write this book? The answer is simple. Just as I have been set free, I want everyone to be set free from demonic spirits who cause them to experience many emotional, psychological, and physical health problems. I also want people to know that you don’t need a fancy title or degree to make demons leave a person or a location in the name of Jesus.

A Path to Freedom is bottom-lined, fast-paced, and can be completed in under three hours. I would be so grateful if you would check out my book. Please click here: https://a.co/d/7TtbEt6 or go to Amazon and enter the title of my book in the search bar: “A Path to Freedom Through Deliverance” by Heather Pulkstenis.

Thank you for reading and have a lovely, demon-free day!

P.S. Below is one final story from the book if you have another minute, which illustrates how a person can manage unwanted ghosts in their home…

Final story: One night, I stayed in the home of extended family members, who claim their house is haunted by a friendly ghost. One night, their baby son (my cousin) began to cry continually in his bedroom, which was adjacent to the guest bedroom I was sleeping in. A small, creaky, back staircase straight out of the 18th century was positioned between our two rooms. While waiting for his parents to come and calm him down, I heard someone loudly walking up and down the staircase, which I assumed were his parents. After the crying persisted for at least 25 more minutes, it finally dawned on me that I had experienced my first interaction with the family “ghost.” I wrestled with whether to get up and attempt to calm the baby. I was afraid that if I got up and exited my room, I might have a face-to-face encounter with this creepy ghost. I decided to pray and ask God what I should do. I felt Him nudge me to resist fear and go pray over my baby cousin.  I got up out of bed, quickly ran past the haunted staircase area, and entered my cousin’s room. The baby was standing up with a look of distress on his face. I walked over to his crib and prayed the following over him: “Dear Lord, please bring my baby cousin peace, and bind and remove any evil from his room. Help him to immediately go back to sleep, Lord. In Jesus’s name, Amen.”

Immediately the baby stopped crying, laid down, tucked his two little hands under his chin, and closed his eyes. Just like that!

The book contains many prayer scripts like the one offered above, plus many more tips on how to manage evil. Feel free to check out “A Path to Freedom Through Deliverance,” and thank you for supporting my writing journey!

And now to reward those who have stayed with me for this entire post, here are several pictures of my husband, me, and Sam in beautiful Colombia. Enjoy!

On the day when our adoption of Sam became final!
Me with some other adoptive parents and their kids!

And just for fun, above and to the left is the original picture I used for the cover of my book, plus two rejected front cover designs!

How to get rid of ghosts and evil spirits: Stop Ghosting Me! How to deal with unwanted ghosts and evil spirits

I dive into just one tiny element of the occult, the infamous staple of the 1980s slumber party….Are Ouija Boards a Doorway to Communicate with (evil) Spirits? My Ouija Board story

And finally, my most popular blog post of all time which has nothing to do with demons is found here: Generation X: the least parented generation in U.S. history is quietly raising their kids and ruling the world

Thanks for hanging with me until the very end!

The 1980s called; they want their rebellious teenager back!

 Why going rogue didn’t work for me, but Jesus did

I want you to hit rewind on your VHS tape that has already been taped over twice and reminisce about the 1980s with me.  Feel free to pour yourself a huge bowl of Count Chocula cereal using only whole milk, plop down in your grandmother’s plaid Lazy boy chair in her unfinished basement, and take a listen.  

That awesome decade brought us the following: the Berlin Wall fell (1989), the Chernobyl nuclear power plant blew up (1986), serial killers made a more obvious debut along with scary movies such as Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Ronald Reagan ruled and reigned (1981-1989), and Journey released their timeless hit song “Don’t Stop Believin” (1981).

It was also the decade where millions of kids walked or rode their bikes home from school and watched Scooby Doo on their wood-paneled TV sets that rested comfortably on tufted green carpets.  After Shaggy pulled the ghost costume off the bad guy and the show ended, these resilient kiddos jumped up off their gold-checkered couch and actually turned the TV channel knob over to Growing Pains starring Kirk Cameron.  Kirk’s image was scotch-taped to their bedroom walls thanks to Tiger Beat magazine.

On lazy afternoons, these 80s kids would look forward to their manual telephone ringing on the kitchen wall and picking up the receiver, not even knowing who was on the other side. They were delighted when it was their best friend calling. They would proceed to stretch the telephone cord all the way down the slightly musty cellar steps and have a hushed conversation with their bestie, plotting and scheming about when they could get together and whose house they would spend the night at. They were secretly planning the fun and slightly bad things they were going to do later behind their parent’s backs.  

Suddenly, a very faint “click” was heard on the phone line. Little brother was quietly listening in on the call from the cluttered spare bedroom! After discovering the little brat and yelling at him from the cellar, the plotting and scheming would continue. 

Or maybe that was just me. 

These phone calls were just the start of my newly formed covert rebellious streak.  

My best friend Jennifer and me at 14 years old. We would plot and scheme on the phone, and then buy matching sweaters. We also lit our eyeliner with matches before we applied it directly onto our lower eye-lids for a more dramatic effect. 😁

But I get ahead of myself.  

Before I became a rogue teenager, I was a fairly innocent young child from the 1970s, being raised in a completely non-religious household.  And my first contact with God and religion did not occur in its purist form.

Me and my sister Jessie!
Jessie and me today…with a fun photo filter!

My first brush with organized religion occurred after I was newly formed in my mother’s womb.  My mother Linda became unexpectedly pregnant with me at 17 years old and was advised by Planned Parenthood staff to abort me.  She then, along with my father, confessed the pregnancy to both sets of parents.  My mother’s parents immediately sought the advice of their Presbyterian minister who, after listening to their imminent problem, blandly stated the following:

“Linda is very young and very smart.  She should go to college. She should get an abortion.”

My mom, dad, and four grandparents rejected this advice and I was born later that year, much to the dismay of my mother’s Presbyterian minister who received a pretty direct phone call from me 35 years later.  Two years after I made my debut, my younger sister Jessica (Jessie) was born.  My parents were very young and not ready for marriage, and sadly their marriage ended after four years. This started a chain reaction of various hardships that stayed with me throughout my childhood and teen years.  These hardships included, but were not limited to, not having a close relationship with my father, my mom being materially poor, being raised in a single parent household, constant feelings of rejection and insecurity, and experiencing two divorces. 

There were many good things about my childhood as well, and I am eternally grateful for all of the ways we were blessed and provided for. I want to give a special shout out to my mom, who gave my sister and me a very stable childhood filled with love and blessings.  My four grandparents also stepped up to the plate and supported us financially and emotionally in many ways.  My dad also came around later, I had a good relationship with both my step-dad Bob and step-mom Mel, and I truly loved my three half-siblings which came along as a result of a my extended family.  Finally, my mom’s best friend Becky had two kids and I was best friends with her daughter Hillary.  Hill and I grew up together from age zero to 12, and we enjoyed many fun adventures together throughout those formative years. 

This is a quintessential 1970s photo.

Yet it was right in the middle of these early years mixed with good and bad that God decided to enter my world. 

God first showed me how much he loved me through the friendship and example of a Catholic nun.  Although my mom considered herself an atheist and pitied people who had to lean on any religion, she enrolled my sister and me into a small Catholic school (Cathedral School) because it was close to her job site in downtown Syracuse, New York. During my first grade year, I made a connection with my teacher, a nun named Sister Patrick Joseph. We had a special bond and she loved me very much (and I loved her).  Sister Patrick Joseph instilled in me that God loved me very much, He created me to be a beautiful little girl, and that I was very special to Him and very deeply loved. The highlight of attending Cathedral, besides my friendship with my special teacher, was that I won a school-wide writing contest in the first grade. The title of my book was “God and Pennytress the Easter Bunny.”  It was a huge honor as this writing contest included the entire school consisting of kindergarten through 5th grade students. 

My second brush with religion occurred via an old church bus trolling through our poor, sketchy neighborhood in the south-side of Syracuse.  This church bus drove kids up the road about three miles to a small town called Nedrow, where the good news of Jesus Christ was presented in a Vacation Bible School format.  One day during the church class, I remember a woman teacher talking to me about Jesus Christ, and how He was God’s one and only Son.  She told all of us that God loved us and wanted to have a relationship of love with us.  The seeds about Jesus had already been planted by Sister Patrick Joseph, so I remember bowing my head and praying, asking Jesus to come into my heart and my life, to forgive me and to be my Savior and my Lord.

Our house on Matson Ave. (above), and the church where I came into the family of God (below).

It was around this time that God also started to quietly work in the life of my mom.  At the time, she was an atheist/liberal/feminist who used to make fun of Ronald Reagan.  Her good friend Bonnie would send her letters and share God’s love with her, but she had no interest in the “religious parts” of the letters and would gloss right over them. 

One day as she was reading a book, she had a profoundly transformative experience. From my mom:  “I was looking into New Age religions when I read Edgar Cayce, a clairvoyant ‘prophet’ who was popular with New Age seekers.  In one of his books, he was discussing how Jesus’ birth, ministry, and death fulfilled many Old Testament prophecies, written hundreds of years before He was born.  I suddenly realized there must be a God for that to have happened, and my mind was completely transformed.  This was confirmed by the fact that almost immediately, I called my friend Bonnie to tell her what had happened, and she followed up by sending me Christian reading materials to study.”

That experience eventually led her to a belief in a loving God and His Son, Jesus Christ. She slowly and steadily grew as a new Christian, and our little family of three started attending church. This was also during the era of “Jesus Music,” and I have many fun memories of riding around in our car, listening to Keith Green music. Later, she met and then married a wonderful man named Bob, who became my new step-dad.  

Although Bob was and is still is a great guy, I had a real problem with authority figures back in the day and wanted to rebel against bosses and rules, therefore our relationship was somewhat rocky for many years.  I also developed a tough, rebellious exterior due to hiding all of my insecurities and fears of rejection.  And although I was slowly growing in my new faith in God, I was also being pulled away by the world and the pressure to appear cool and be accepted by my peers. 

This brings me back to the beginning of this post, where I began my rogue streak. For the next few years, I continued to rebel against my parent’s rules and my new Christian faith.  Sometimes it was as mild as riding my bike all over Onondaga valley with my best friend Jennifer and not telling anyone where we were going or what we were doing.  I look back over those years and I am grateful for God’s protection, as Jennifer and I were constantly alone and doing things away from our parents at 14 years of age. 

Most times, the rebellion was hidden and fairly mild. Other times, the rebellion was more pronounced.  For example, a few of my Christian high school friends and I would change our New York State driver’s licenses and go up to the Syracuse University (SU) bar scene (we would call it going to “the hill” for short) and fake-ID our way into various SU bars.  Even though we were a mere 17 or 18 years old at the time, we would dance, drink, and meet up with and sometimes make out with guys we literally just met (speaking for myself here, I am not sure what the other three did).  

However, one time I followed a young SU student named Andrew back to his Greek frat house.  This was really bad because I actually left my group of three friends and went off on my own with a man I had just met. Nothing bad or scary happened that evening but looking back, this was very foolish behavior.

I also told little white lies to my parents about my whereabouts and would attend underage drinking parties (who didn’t back then?) and concerts without their knowledge or consent. I also worked at a Christian summer camp and would sneak cigarettes, sneak out of my cabin at night and meet up with other kids sneaking out, and sneak wine coolers off campus in the middle of the woods.  

There was a lot of sneaking around back in those days.  But it was around this time that I realized that going rogue wasn’t really working for me; here are the three reasons why.

First, going rogue did not leave me happy, peaceful, or set free

This realization ironically began at a well-known bar at SU.  

I remember one night my friends and I were drinking and dancing at a bar called “Maggie’s.”  All the young college kids were very drunk, sloppy, sweaty, slimy, and dancing in a very provocative, sexual manner.  I looked at my friend Marla, and said the following: “this whole bar scene is kinda gross.  And everything about this place starts with an “S.”  The girls are dressed slutty (I probably was too), the men are sleazy and sexual, the place is sloshy and sloppy and smoky, everyone is sweaty and shiny and dancing in a sexual manner, and it stinks in here!” 

She laughed at me and we continued to dance to “You Shook Me All Night Long” by AC/DC. 

I was also not deeply set free inside, mainly because I was not happy deep inside. I think the greatest lie of rebellion is that it will lead to a great sense of personal freedom and happiness.  I found the opposite to be true, because I became a slave to my own desires and agendas.  I become aggravated if anything tried to mess with my freedom.  For me, it was more about being extremely self-centered and wanting to do whatever I wanted to do, whenever I wanted to do it.  

I have learned since that time that Christianity is all about loving God first, and loving and serving others after that.  If you do those two things well, God will bless you and give you the internal freedom and peace you are truly longing for.  

In addition, I felt like there was this invisible force that was keeping me from fully rebelling.  I went right up to the line of right and wrong and peered over the edge, but something was holding onto my t-shirt, not letting me slip over the edge.  

Big hair, don’t care. Me and my high school besties getting ready to fake-ID our way into a bar on The Hill. And to be more precise, we just changed the date on our driver’s licenses with a very sharp pencil. 😂
I’m still friends with all of my high school buds, including Marla, above!

Second, I realized that as I aligned with rebellion, I was aligning myself with Satan and his demons and away from God and his angels

This is the part of this article/post that will make you want to check out mentally because it sounds weird, but hang with me for a minute and you will see what I am referring to.  

At around 16 years of age, my best friend Jennifer’s older brother Jeff handed me a book and said: “Read this book; it will change your life and you won’t be the same.”  As I was an active member of the “yeah whatever” club, I promptly dismissed him until I opened up the book and read the first ten pages.  I was hooked. He was correct: the book completely changed my life, and stopped me in my tracks.

The book was called “He Came To Set the Captives Free” by Rebecca Brown. It is the true story about a young doctor named Rebecca Brown who ministered to over 1000 men and women who were active members of their local Satanic group, but wanted out.  The only problem with Satanism is that it works much like Hotel California, in that you can definitely check out anytime you’d like, but you can never leave.  However, Rebecca was the most bad-ass Christian I had ever heard of  or read about (I thought most Christians were weak and boring) and through the power and authority of Jesus Christ, she successfully led these men and women out of Satanism and into a very real relationship with Jesus Christ.  She also became friends with one of the top witches in the United States and got her out too (an impossible task).  

The stories she told blew my mind and made me realize that Satan and his demons hated me and wanted to destroy me.  They were thrilled when I rebelled against God and my parents. They wanted me to do bad and risky things late at night with no protection.  They wanted me to hate God and doubt his love and goodness.  

After reading about the invisible world of angels and demons and how real they actually were, I realized that I wanted to align my life more on the side of God and the Angels for the rest of my life. 

Third, Jesus worked for me instead

The final and most important reason that going rouge didn’t work for me is that Jesus worked for me instead.  I began to grow as a Christian during the summers of my teenage years working at Christian summer camps.  There were many chapel services and friendships that God used to draw me to Himself.  My high school growth spurt led to my college growth spurt, and here I am today. 

The gospel means “good news.” God loves you and me so much that He sent His son to die on the cross for our sins, so that we can have a relationship of love with him, and to experience eternal life. I choose to be a Christian because God has drawn me to Himself with His love, and He has been faithful to me over the years.  Here are just a few ways God has been faithful to me:

  • During my youth, God provided many blessings and also some hardships, in order to shape my character and humble me.
  • When I was a young adult, God showed me that my identity, the very core of who I am and how I felt about myself, was incorrectly placed.  He revealed to me that I am unconditionally loved and accepted, and that He is in control of all aspects of my life.  And then He healed me of my deep-seated fears of rejection. 
  • God also provided a wonderful and fulfilling career on Capitol Hill, doing meaningful work, as well as a wonderful husband Erik, whom I married at 27 years of age.  He blessed Erik and me with three wonderful (yet challenging, I must be honest) kids, through the miracle of adoption.  
  • But probably the most important reason I continue to stick with God is because I am free, peaceful, and happy deep inside.  I enjoy a deep sense of security and peace that the world or any other human relationship cannot provide.  I have peace knowing that God is in control of every aspect of my life, that He is good, and that I can trust Him implicitly. 
  • There are many other benefits to having a relationship with God.  Please see the highlights located in the Bible verse I will leave below. 

So as I look back over the 1980s, I have many fond memories of good moments with my family and especially my mom and sister Jessie, dancing all crazy with my high school besties, riding my bike all over the valley with Jennifer, going on little adventures with Hillary, Grandma Inge buying me Nancy Drew books and an Orange Julius at the mall, and consuming a lot of unhealthy sugary cereals while watching the launch of MTV on my vintage couch with a large green ashtray beside it.  😁👍

But the best thing I received from that awesome decade was that it solidified my relationship with God and Jesus Christ.  Jesus loves me, forgives me, heals me, redeems me, and satisfies me with good things so that my youth is eternally renewed. 

So please don’t stop believin’ in a loving God who will set you free big time and give you eternal life!  

Thank you for reading my Never Ending Story all the way to the end.  

Try not to accidentally tape over it.

Later, dude!

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36

Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits – 

Who forgives all your sins

And heals all your diseases

Who redeems your life from the pit

And crowns you with (His) love and compassion

Who satisfies your desires with good things so that 

Your youth is renewed like the eagle’s…..

Psalm 103

P.S. I just published my first book! The book is about Christian deliverance, and how to reduce demonic activity in people and places. I share the struggles of what led me to seek out a deliverance for myself, how a friend and I started our own deliverance ministry, and what I learned about creative ways to do basic spiritual warfare to reduce demonic activity in people and places. I discuss the many negative symptoms of demonic oppression and the four doorways (trauma, occult involvement, ongoing sin, and generational curses), and teach everyday Christians how to command demons to leave people and places, in Jesus’s name. If you are struggling with demonic oppression, a haunted house, or other demonic activity and you’re not sure how to handle it, check out this book!
