“The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:”
–2 Peter 2:9
God knows how to deliver the righteous from their trials and temptations.
And He does it in a number of ways.
ONE of the ways God delivers the righteous is through a peaceful death. When someone popular dies, it is not unusual to hear of those in the world question: “IF there is a just God, why do babies have to die?”
Or
“If God really is good, why do the good people have to die?”
“The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.”
–Isaiah 57:1
God also takes the righteous in peaceful death for another reason: as a warning to the wicked who are left.
“When iniquity abounds in a nation, and the righteous become few, it is a sign that evil days are at hand.
–Family Bible notes
God declares that when the righteous die before he sends evil upon a nation (or the world), he is doing the righteous a benefit by saving them from that evil.
The Prophet complains of the general neglect of people, to consider the loss of good and useful men, as a presage of evil: when God in mercy taketh away such, it should be a warning to us to look for evil to come. Bp. Sanderson.
–British Family Bible notes
None but God can know the day and hour evil is about to descend. So it was with righteous King Josiah.
“Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD. Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.”
–2 Kings 22:19-20
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
—John 20:31
THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
From time to time during the past centuries, the public has becomes aware of the effects of demonic power. For the last 120 years or so, the ‘diagnosis’ of “mass hysteria” has been used to explain, cover up and hide these outbreaks and displays.
Mass hysteria [conversion disorder] was an invention of Sigmund Freud and others around the end of the 1800s. These men toiled for the mystery of iniquity, promoting all things antichrist, while providing aid for those who wished to explain away those inconvenient things which could no longer be hidden; which came to the attention of the public.
Such as the effects of various outbreaks of the demonic and of those who consulted with familiar spirits.
Freud and his cohorts manufactured the lie of mass hysteria to hide what could no longer be hidden or explained with the lies which were then being used.
So, the story of MASS HYSTERIA was invented.
But this particular lie of MASS HYSTERIA comes with a shelf life. At some future time, MASS HYSTERIA (so useful to help explain away such incidents as the Salem witch trials) will be mothballed by the same folks who invented it and promoted its use over the last 120 years or so.
This all has a bearing on the end times, the coming man of sin and what’s to soon take place upon the earth.
MASS HYSTERIA PRIOR TO THE END TIMES
As stated, the fable of mass hysteria has been very useful to help explain away outbreaks of demonic power/witchcraft of which the public has become aware.
In some cases, the local people attributed the weird behaviors to “spirits” or the supernatural. However, the authorities (either at the time or later) assured everyone it was nothing more than mass hysteria.
Perhaps the only modern excuse used more frequently than “mass hysteria” to cover up public, demonic behaviors is “drugs.”
Since one of the strong attractions to the demonic is power, many of the outbreaks listed involved teen-age girls (a prime demographic for experimenting with witchcraft and also a group of which many members fell powerless) and the demonic.
Following is a partial list of events classified as mass hysteria (also known as conversion disorder, collective hysteria, group hysteria, or collective obsessional behavior), either at the time the event happened or later by “experts.”
The Seattle windshield pitting epidemic is a phenomenon which affected Bellingham, Seattle, and other communities of Washington state in April, 1954; it is considered an example of a mass delusion.
It was characterized by widespread observation of previously unnoticed windshield holes, pits and dings, leading residents to believe that a common causative agent was at work. It was originally thought to be the work of vandals but the rate of pitting was so great that residents began to attribute it to everything from sand flea eggs to nuclear bomb testing.
Over 3,000 windshields were reported to have been affected.
Finally, Sergeant Max Allison of the Seattle police crime laboratory stated that the pitting reports consisted of “5 per cent hoodlum-ism, and 95 per cent public hysteria.”
The Dancing Plague (or Dance Epidemic) of 1518 was a case of dancing mania that occurred in Strasbourg, Alsace (then part of the Holy Roman Empire) in July 1518. Around 400 people took to dancing for days without rest, and, over the period of about one month, some of those affected died of heart attack, stroke, or exhaustion.
The events resulted in the Salem witch trials, a series of hearings and executions of 25 citizens of Salem and nearby towns accused of witchcraft. The episode is one of the USA’s most notorious cases of mass hysteria, and has been used in political rhetoric and popular literature as a vivid cautionary tale about the dangers of isolationism, religious extremism, false accusations and lapses in due process.
The Tanganyika laughter epidemic began on January 30, 1962, at a mission-run boarding school for girls in Kashasha, Tanzania. The laughter started with three girls and spread haphazardly throughout the school, affecting 95 of the 159 pupils, aged 12–18.
Symptoms lasted from a few hours to 16 days in those affected. The teaching staff were not affected but reported that students were unable to concentrate on their lessons. The school was forced to close down on March 18, 1962.
After the school was closed and the students were sent home, the epidemic spread to Nshamba, a village that was home to several of the girls. In April and May, 217 people had laughing attacks in the village, most of them being school children and young adults.
The Kashasha school was reopened on May 21, only to be closed again at the end of June. In June, the laughing epidemic spread to Ramashenye girls’ middle school, near Bukoba, affecting 48 girls. Another outbreak occurred in Kanyangereka and two nearby boys schools were closed.
In October 1965 at a girls’ school in Blackburn, several girls complained of dizziness. Some fainted. Within a couple of hours, 85 girls from the school were rushed by ambulance to a nearby hospital after fainting. Symptoms included swooning, moaning, chattering of teeth, hyperpnea, and tetany.
School officials suspected drug use after fifteen students fell to the ground writhing, but no drugs were found and hysteria is assumed to be culprit. At one point, one third of school’s 900 students stayed home for fear of being “hexed”.
Mass hysteria occurred in Malaysia from the 1970s to the 1980s. It affected school-age girls and young women working in factories. The locals have explained this outbreak as “spirits” having possessed the girls and young women.
The 1983 West Bank fainting epidemic was a series of incidents in March 1983 in which 943 Palestinian teenage girls, mostly schoolgirls, and a small number of IDF women soldiers fainted or complained of feeling nauseous in the West Bank. Israel was accused of using chemical warfare to sterilize West Bank women while IDF sources speculated that a toxic substance had been employed by Palestinian militants to stir up unrest, but investigators concluded that even if some environmental irritant had originally been present, the wave of complaints was ultimately a product of mass hysteria.
Does the reader find every place he has looked for the supposed truth to be instead more lies? Does he know the schools, the churches, the Internet conspiracy sites and the occult do not have the truth?
Has he been inoculated by lies against the ONLY way to get at the truth?
Is the reader no longer comfortable living with the lies he can see all around him? Is he weary of being bounced back-and-forth from one lying group to another?
IF seeking the truth is REALLY the reader’s highest priority (and not just empty words), then he can know the truth.
IF not being deceived is vitally important to the reader (and not just something he says to make conversation), God will open his eyes.
IF the reader is ready to pay the price for knowing the truth (for wisdom and knowledge bring grief and great sorrow, and he will lose friends and will be hated for the truth, not loved), then he can break free from the lies and deception.
Regardless of what he has been taught, what his friends and acquaintances might insist or what the media tells him, there is ONLY ONE source of the truth.
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”
–John 17:17
For those who CLAIM they want to know the truth, it’s “put up or shut up“ time.
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
—John 20:31

-–Romans 1:16
The world has long claimed the “cashless society” to be a prophetic warning of the end times; a sign of the coming “mark of the beast” warned about in Revelation 13.
But is it?
Perhaps, but not likely.
Making a connection between the cashless society and the mark of the beast involves a long process of explanations: an almost certain sign it is one of the false prophetic signs manufactured by men to deceive and lead the unwary astray.
At various times, the mark of the beast was supposedly a barcode. Then when technology improved, the mark was upgraded to an implantable RFID chip. It’s certainly possible those devices will make it easier for the government to track people and purchases.
The Bible says nothing about a cashless society, but the argument goes: the cashless society is first necessary in order to keep track of who’s buying and selling. But we presently have a society with cash and it’s possible to track most, if not all purchases today.
And for all those who believe that cash is not trackable: some may argue differently. Who knows all of the capabilities of printed currency which use newer technologies?
One of the first warnings of the cashless society and the end times was about 31 years ago by Barry Smith of New Zealand.
Though he never used the term, the cashless society was hinted at 46-years-ago (pp 101-102) by Hal Lindsay in his 20+-million-selling Late, Great Planet Earth (1970)–but Lindsay also pretty much led readers to look for the return of Jesus by 1988-1995.
Still, the cashless society is certainly something that has been and continues to be promoted by the world.
Banks in the USA have been promoting it for years, many with large placards in their lobby areas. Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) has regularly run ‘cashless society’ articles for years. The mystery of iniquity’s deceptive Modern American Prophecy Industry has worked hard to get the word out on the cashless society, featuring it not only in Late Great Planet Earth, but also in the Left Behind series.
Not at all like Satan, who is usually a tricky guy.
The US government has also promoted the “cashless society” by eliminating Social Security checks and requiring direct deposit into a bank account if a beneficiary wants to receive their money.
A bank account is as likely an end times culprit as the cashless society. For many in the USA, having a bank account is already a de facto requirement in order to buy and sell.
But the Bible is clear: the mark of the beast and the number of his name (666) have to do with worship of the beast or his image: practically every reference to the mark of the beast in Revelation includes a line about WORSHIP of the beast.
Two examples:
“And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”
—Revelation 14:11
“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”
—Revelation 20:4
Also: if stories of the cashless society get people to think (if only for a few moments) on the end times and the coming return of Jesus Christ, that cannot be bad thing.
As long as there are appropriate warnings.
As stated, the Corporate Media regularly features articles on the coming cashless society. Here are several from the past month.
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”

Actually, this is what presidents who care for the poor do.
Neither of those sound quite right, do they?
National Prayer Breakfast: Obama Preaches Against Gospel of Fear – Though for the first seven years of his administration, Mr. Obama preached little BUT fear. Fear of the climate, fear of Republicans, fear of coal: fear of whatever was at the time convenient.

Both left- and right-wings are united to break the bands of God Almighty and His Anointed, Jesus Christ.
And they WILL be successful…for a season.

But one can’t put everything there and we don’t have a Hate Speech section.
Sounds like the government needs to crack down on American citizens to prevent TERROR!
Although this article makes plain why such agents provocateurs as the militia involved in the takeover of the federal bird sanctuary is so important to the narrative. Such players provide the threat; the government provides the crackdown.
Especially on those Americans who believe in “conspiracy theories“: which are alternate explanations which differ from the ones the government/media provides.
These Americans thrive on hate and conspiracy theories, many fed to them by politicians and commentators who blithely blather about government concentration camps and impending martial law and plans to seize guns and other dystopian gibberish, apparently unaware there are people listening who don’t know it’s all lies.
No wonder this article equates conspiracy theories with hate.
No wonder the government believes these Americans to be such a threat.
“Law enforcement agencies in the United States consider anti-government violent extremists, not radicalized Muslims, to be the most severe threat of political violence that they face,” the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security reported this past June, based on surveys of 382 law enforcement groups.
Scientists Debate Signatures of Alien Life – This is a major deception of the end times. Which is why scientists (who are really witch doctors in lab coats and the remnants of a long-ago pagan priesthood) write about “alien life” so much.
“For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.”
–Revelation 16:15-16
The modern myths surrounding romantic LOVE! abound and are reinforced daily through the media, culture and entertainment.
Everywhere one looks, one hears of “love” which isn’t.
Though something of a “love industry” has sprung up in the last few decades, several generations of Americans have NO idea what love is. What they know of love they’ve learned from songs, TV, movies and a culture which works to keep them in the dark about true love.
Unfortunately they’ve been indoctrinated that “love” is some sort of irresistible force.
And many times, IT IS.
Though often, one of those involved is not only completely unaware of the manipulation, and will usually struggle against any attempts to be free of their slavery.
Often the enslaved one will attribute the unhappiness as a natural “part of being in love.”
After all, don’t countless songs and TV shows claim this very thing happens? Doesn’t everyone know about the “pain of love“?
Those cool singers wouldn’t lie, would they?
The youth, being deceived about love, perhaps believe love begins as some sort of obsession (as the linked article claims) and then slowly dies out until one or the other of the two people caught in this sordid mix of chemicals, lust and treachery leave to pursue something more fulfilling.
Such as cocaine or superpowers or total self-awareness.
AFTERWARDS, yet MORE lies are offered by the same ones who provided the original ones. One such fable is the “soulmate.”
Love didn’t work out?
It’s because you weren’t with your “soulmate!”
Real love is virtually extinct: crowded out by the cheap, tawdry plastic love promoted by the rich and celebrated and the Corporate Media; and, practiced by the last several generations who cannot figure out why this imitation love never quite works for them as promised.
It’s a great pity: not knowing anything other than what they’ve been told since childhood, the deceived are condemned to wander from one false “relationship” to another.
Confusing the occasional few moments of a chemical surge; of animal lust, with “love.” They are the spiritual equivalent to the Flying Dutchman: ever searching, ever hoping, never finding, never to rest.
How has it gotten to this point?
It’s part of the end times in which we live.
What is a person searching for the “real deal;” real, honest-to-goodness LOVE to do?
There is an answer.
But most moderns, not believing the problem just described, will certainly not believe the solution.
“Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.
WHY criticizing Ted Cruz seldom works – Like the narratives to explain the Corporate Media’s gift of billions of dollars of free publicity to Donald Trump as “Trump being a master media manipulator!“, this narrative attempts to explain away the Corporate Media’s pretensions of vetting Ted Cruz.
Many people no longer trust the Corporate Media/government to deliver reliable information. The Internet has assisted in helping establish newer, more believable sources of information. In reality, these newer sources of information are just as (if not more) corrupt than the Corporate Media.
Wikipedia is merely one of those re-branded projects of the Corporate Media.
