First of all, if you do not believe the bible, don't waste your time reading this. You have to believe in God and the Bible for this to make any sense at all. Also, if you only listen to what other people tell you is in the Bible, instead of reading it for yourself and asking God for guidance, you will also not make much sense of this. In Revelations, it says the beast will "deceive the whole world". That's WHOLE world. Those who love God will not worship him, but will be deceived on who he is.
Also, This is what I read in the bible, and what I believe it means. Too many times I hear preachers and people say "This is what it means", instead of "This is what I think think this says and why". Only God himself knows what every sentence of the bible means exactly. After 49 years of life and countless hours of reading the bible and seeing what has happened in society, and praying for God to show me what it all means, this is all MY beliefs.
Go back to Exodus in the Bible. To the scene where Moses was on the mountain getting the Commandments and the people ran amok. They had just been shown amazing signs and wonders, and were delivered from the Egyptians by God. After just 40 days, they thought Moses was gone and died on the Mountain, and made a calf to worship. Did you ever wonder why? Why did they make a calf to worship? Why did that make God so angry he almost exterminated them? A little study of Egyptian Deities sheds some light. In Egyptology, there is a God, called "apis". He was considered to be the "creator" in their pagan rites. Read this- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apis_(deity)
You will find that the false "creator" was a bull deity worshiped and venerated in Memphis, Egypt. The "apis bulls" were around at the time of the Exodus. They were reverting back to the religion they were just delivered from, and shown the true one, but as evil as they and we are, went back to it. We, as humans, are inclined to evil. Its our nature unless God himself changes us.
Now, thousands of years later, people venerate and at times worship "The King", and his shrine at "Graceland", in Memphis, Tennessee. They have no idea what they are doing. Its just a musical pioneer to them that started a "revolution". When you research him, you will read of his very confused and mixed up religious life. He went from Christian to Mystic, and considered himself a "master" or something. What is plain as day, is what changed in society after his impact- The entire world. Myself included.
I look at Las Vegas, the most sinful place on earth, and wonder at the wedding chapels where you are not married by a minister, but Elvis. He has many Idols of himself there and around the entire world. FOR WHAT? For being the author of the music that changed the whole world, and gives rise to lyrics like "leave me alone don't want your promises no more, cause rock n roll is my religion and my God"-Ozzy, also to him lately "God is dead". Also AC/DC-"if your into evil you a friend of mine", "if goods on the left then I'm stickin to the right", and "won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives, nobodys puttin up a fight, we got the power gonna take you to hell, were gonna get ya, satan'll get ya, Hells Bells". Don't even get me started into black metal. I don't have the heart to type that crap.
You would think, with such a huge world change, that it would be in the bible somewhere. Not easy to find, since Martin Luther took the book of Wisdom out of the Bible, but look at Chapter 14 in the book of Wisdom, on the origins and evil of Idolatry, and the "sudden end" that would come from it.

Read it and weep. This explains why we are in the mess we are in. We worship the created more than the creator. We then musically brainwash ourselves into thinking that the wrong is right, and then blame God when it blows up in our face, and dont heed what scriptures like this plainly state. But for the rightious who repent their sinful nature, we rely on God, who will make things right. In the mean time, he has to look at a Shrine to Elvis in a JERUSALEM SUBURB, complete with a GOLD IDOL in front of it. You want to know how asleep the world is? Ultra Orthodox rabbis violently protest petty things like garages being open on the sabbath in Israel, but have no mass protest of this-

Google Gold Statue of Elvis in Israel. There's lots of stories of the "shrine" to Elvis in Israel. One says "Elvis is still King in Israel". Things haven't changed much in 2000 years. When they crucified Jesus , members of the sanhedrin complained to Pilate, "you should not have written, "The King of the Jews", but that he claimed to be King of the Jews". BUT SEEMINGLY HAVE NO PROBLEM TO A LIFESIZE GOLD STATUE OF ELVIS, AND SAY HE IS STILL KING IN ISRAEL.

You can't claim the translation is confusing. Any spiritual discernment plainly shows this black and white is what God said not to do. I bless Israel. I pray for it's conversion, but if they continue in their stubborn rebellion, like they have since Moses was on the mountain, God will wipe them out and save his remnant, and they will not be able to blame Iran, They will have themselves to blame. It's written in their law. And as sure as the son rose everything written in the Bible comes to pass. The writing is in the bible and on the wall. From the Torah-
24 All the nations will ask: “Why has the Lord done this to this land? Why this fierce, burning anger?”
25 And the answer will be: “It is because this people abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their ancestors, the covenant he made with them when he brought them out of Egypt. 26 They went off and worshiped other gods and bowed down to them, gods they did not know, gods he had not given them. 27 Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against this land, so that he brought on it all the curses written in this book. 28 In furious anger and in great wrath the Lord uprooted them from their land and thrust them into another land, as it is now.”
29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.
And there it is. Not difficult to understand. What blows my mind is there are men who study the Torah for years on end, and do not understand this, or have said anything about it.. Its like Jesus said, they put their faith and lives in the Torah, and they will be Judged by it. Also, in Memphis, the Commercial Appeal ran a story about the Elvis Inn, and on the front page, on a Sunday, was in big bold letters "Israel honors "The King" " and next to that a picture of the huge Gold statue of him, and although there is a church on almost every corner in Memphis, there was not one word of complaint. When the Lord allows Israel's enemies to wipe it out, and the turmoil spreads to the whole world, we also, will have only ourselves to blame.

CAN'T ANYONE ON THIS PLANET SEE THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED?
Everyone seems to be in dismay, in wondering how we can have so many mass shootings, murders, mass homelessness, lawlessness and all of this, and do not heed what this exactly states to the letter. It builds up my faith because that was written over 2000 years ago, and has been fulfilled right before my eyes. But it is also so painful to me to see so much suffering and confusion. Their are so many Fathers out there who leave their sons and go "find theirselves and what they want" And the horrible things that are unfolding before us are the result of being musically brainwashed into thinking that wrong is right, and good people are bad, and the one who loves God and Jesus is the Problem. Im telling you right now, Idolatry and Godlessness is the problem, and loving God and his law and others is the solution. Its almost too late if its not already.
This has happened before. Over and over in the Bible in the books of Chronicles and Kings in the Bible, Israel turned from God and devoted themselves to Idolatry and Selfishness. God would send them prophets to warn them, and they would be wiped out or severely punished. Then they would turn back to God, and he would restore them. So 2000 years later, here we are. Gods law has become shredded by what is "popular" in society, just like it was then, and it was put in high gear by the modern day Pied Piper and Rock and Roll . Read the lyrics of the Rolling Stones, Metallica, RUSH, and all of the so called heros of Rock. And see the consequences before your eyes. We are heading to a brick wall. And I feel it more and more each day. That was written 10 years ago, and like it said, Israel cannot blame Iran from what they are going through now. If they were faithfully serving God and abiding in honest love for others and him, I do not think 10-7-23 would have happened .
Nobody but God knows when, but he did tell us the signs of his coming and the Great Apostacy that would precede it. I'm praying its close. I don't want to live through the crash that is facing us. I'm praying for all who love God to be taken home soon, or given the strength and patient endurance to make it till the end. Peace and love and strength to all who love God and everything that is good. Me
