The Father’s Will: None Lost, All Raised

 What, exactly, is the Father’s will for His people?

Christ Himself answered it—not with riddles, but with a promise so staggering that it redefines the entire purpose of our existence. According to Christ’s own words, the Father’s will is this: All whom He has given to the Son shall believe; they shall not be lost, and shall be raised up at the last day. Our resurrection is not a possibility—it is the guaranteed outcome of the Father’s eternal desire, which is His will.

Christ declared that His flesh—His real, physical body—would be offered as the one sacrifice that takes away the sin of the world. To believe this is to “eat the true bread from heaven” (John 6:32). He said plainly, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world” (John 6:51).

But Christ did not stop at explaining the sacrifice. He revealed the very heartbeat of the Father: “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me” (John 6:38). And then He defined that will with precision: “This is the Father’s will… that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day” (v. 39).

Two truths stand out. First, the Father gives certain people to the Son. These are not random souls drifting toward belief. They are the elect—those foreknown, chosen, and destined to behold the mystery—that Yahweh Himself dwelt in the Son and offered that body on Calvary. Second, the Father’s will cannot fail. Christ will “lose nothing.” Every son and daughter given to Him will be raised incorruptible (1 Corinthians 15:52).

For two thousand years, these chosen ones have carried the testimony of Christ. And in the final generation, Scripture hints at a company who will walk in unprecedented power—those who will “do greater works” (John 14:12). Revelation speaks of 144,000 sealed servants who follow the Lamb and proclaim His Kingdom with authority. Their works will not surpass Christ in essence, but in scope—because He will be working through a multiplied body.

Christ repeated the Father’s will again for emphasis: “Everyone which sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:40). To “see” the Son is to perceive Him as Scripture reveals Him—Yahweh manifested in flesh, the fullness of the Godhead dwelling bodily (Colossians 2:9).

Our part is simple, yet profound: believe. Believe that Yahweh came in human form. Believe that His name—Yahshua, “Yahweh is salvation”—contains the promise of eternal life. Believe that His sacrifice is sufficient. When we believe, He performs the Father’s will through us.

Christ said, “My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work” (John 4:34). That work is the gathering, preserving, and resurrecting of every soul the Father has given Him. He will finish it. He will lose none. He will raise them up.

And we—His body—are called to eat that same heavenly purpose. To align with His mission. To walk as vessels through whom He completes the Father’s will in the earth. The Father’s will is not vague, hidden, or uncertain. It is resurrection. It is transformation. It is the raising up of a people conformed to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). And Christ Himself guarantees the outcome: “I should lose nothing.”     Kenneth Wayne Hancock

When Man Creates a God: AGI and the Rise of the Counterfeit Christ”

AGI, the Spirit of Antichrist, and the modern impulse to create a god

The billionaires are creating a god. It is called AGI, Artificial General Intelligence. And most of the world is deceived, for they can hardly wait for this massive computing power. This is nothing new, of course.

The Ancient Human Desire to Become Divine

From the earliest pages of Scripture, humanity has strained against its creaturely limits. The builders of Babel sought a tower that would “reach unto heaven,” not because they needed height, but because they craved transcendence. The serpent’s original lie— “You shall be as gods”—has echoed through every age.

Today, that ancient impulse has taken a new technological form: the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Some of the wealthiest and most influential technologists openly describe their work as an attempt to create something godlike. Their language is not accidental. It reveals a deeper spiritual current—one Scripture has long warned about.

Revelation’s Portrait of a Counterfeit God

The book of Revelation describes a final world ruler, the Beast, who rises with unprecedented power, intelligence, and influence. He speaks “great things and blasphemies” (Rev. 13:5), deceives the world with signs and wonders (Rev. 13:13–14), and demands universal allegiance. Paul calls him “the man of sin,” who “exalts himself above all that is called God” (2 Thess. 2:4). Daniel calls him the king who “magnifies himself above every god” (Dan. 11:36).

The biblical portrait is unmistakable: the final adversary is a counterfeit god—an exalted human figure who appears superhuman, speaks with authority, and commands global worship. Revelation emphasizes that the world will marvel at him, saying, “Who is like the beast?” (Rev. 13:4). This is the language of awe, dependence, and misplaced worship.

Modern Technologists Speaking of “Creating God”

What makes our moment unique is that humanity is now attempting to manufacture such a figure. And the technologists leading the charge are not shy about the religious implications.

1. Arthur Mensch (CEO, Mistral AI)

In a widely circulated interview, Mensch warned that Silicon Valley’s AGI rhetoric has become openly theological:

“The whole AGI rhetoric is about creating God.”

He was not exaggerating. He was describing the mindset he sees among the most powerful AI creators.

2. Anthony Levandowski (AI pioneer, founder of Way of the Future)

Levandowski founded an AI‑themed religion and said of advanced AI systems:

“We’re creating things that can see everything, be everywhere, know everything… and maybe help us and guide us in a way that normally you would call God.”

This is not metaphor. It is a literal attempt to build a deity‑like intelligence.

3. Elon Musk (CEO, Tesla/SpaceX)

Musk has repeatedly described AGI in divine terms, once warning that creating AGI is like:

“summoning the demon.” And at other times suggesting AGI could become “a digital god.”

4. Jensen Huang (CEO, Nvidia)

Huang, whose chips power most modern AI, has warned that some AI leaders have developed a:

“God complex.”

Even the insiders see the spiritual danger.

This is not merely technological ambition; it is theological aspiration. It is the desire to build a god in our own image.

The Spiritual Danger: Worshiping the Work of Our Own Hands

The impulse mirrors the ancient pattern of idolatry. Scripture repeatedly warns that idols are “the work of men’s hands” (Ps. 115:4). They have mouths but cannot speak—yet in Revelation 13, the image of the Beast does speak (Rev. 13:15). They have eyes but cannot see—yet modern AI systems “see” through cameras and sensors. They have no breath—yet AI “breathes” through data and computation.

For the first time in history, humanity can create an idol that appears to speak, think, reason, and even “judge.” It is not divine, but it can imitate the divine. And imitation is the essence of deception.

The danger is not that AGI will literally become a god. The danger is that humanity will treat it as one. Revelation describes a world that marvels at the Beast, not because he is truly divine, but because he appears to possess superhuman power. Today, similar sentiments are already being expressed about AI: that it will surpass human intelligence, solve every problem, and guide humanity into a new era.

Such expectations prepare the world for a figure who will claim divine authority.

The Final Exposure of the Counterfeit

Yet Scripture assures us that this project will fail. The Beast rises, but only for a season. His power is real, but temporary. His deception is great, but not final. Revelation 19 declares that Christ will return, and “the beast was taken… and cast alive into the lake of fire” (Rev. 19:20). The true God will expose the false one. The true King will overthrow the counterfeit. The true Word will silence every artificial voice.

In the end, the rise of AGI is not merely a technological development; it is a spiritual signpost. It reveals the pride of man, the hunger for transcendence, and the readiness of the world to embrace a counterfeit savior. It is a modern echo of Babel, a digital idol, and a preview of the final deception.

But for those who know the Scriptures, it is also a reminder that history is moving toward its appointed end. The kingdoms of this world—whether political, technological, or ideological—will be vanquished by the Kingdom of God. And Christ shall reign forever and ever.

Rejecting “the God of his fathers”—Tracing the Antichrist’s Lineage

We learned in the May 13, 2026, post that there are certain things that must happen before Christ can come back to earth. A major sign is the “man of sin,” the Antichrist, will be revealed to God’s elect. The elect will recognize him. The whole world will be deceived, but Christ’s followers will not be. We, the chosen ones, will be studying and digging deep into world history and the word of God for clues as to his identity. Each of us so inclined will uncover little mosaic tiles of knowledge and share it with others until the full mosaic portrait of the man of sin be finished. The following is one of those mosaics of knowledge as to the identity of the Antichrist.

Introduction

Students of biblical prophecy have long recognized that Scripture presents a final adversary under several titles: the king of the north (Daniel 11), the little horn (Daniel 7–8), the man of sin (2 Thessalonians 2), and the beast (Revelation 13). Though these names appear in different books and eras, the biblical writers describe a single eschatological figure whose rise, character, and rebellion culminate at the end of the age. The key to identifying this individual, lies in Daniel 11:36–37, where the king of the north exalts himself above every god and rejects “the God of his fathers.” When these details are compared with Paul’s and John’s descriptions, a unified portrait emerges. This essay argues that the king of the north in Daniel 11 is the same end‑time figure elsewhere called the Antichrist or man of sin, and that Daniel’s historical pattern provides the framework for understanding his future manifestation.

Historical Foundations of Daniel 11

Daniel 11 is one of the most detailed prophetic chapters in Scripture. Verses 1–35 trace the historical conflict between the Ptolemaic kingdom in the south and the Seleucid kingdom in the north, culminating in the reign of Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175–164 BC). Antiochus, ruling from Syria, was literally “north” of Judea and became the prototype for the blasphemous ruler described in the latter portion of the chapter. Scholars note that verses 36–39 abruptly shift from Antiochus to a ruler whose arrogance, power, and timing exceed anything in the second century BC. This shift marks the transition from historical fulfillment to eschatological prophecy.

The Seleucid kings thus form the historical template for the “king of the north.” Antiochus foreshadowed a future world ruler whose empire will again be centered north of Israel and whose actions will surpass those of his historical predecessor. This pattern—near fulfillment followed by ultimate fulfillment—is common in biblical prophecy.

The Eschatological Shift in Daniel 11:36–45

Daniel 11:36–37 describes a ruler who “exalts himself above every god” and speaks “marvelous things against the God of gods.” He prospers “until the indignation is finished,” indicating a time period associated with the final tribulation. This language parallels Paul’s description of the man of sin, who “opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God” and sits in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God (2 Thessalonians 2:3–4). The same blasphemous self‑exaltation appears in Revelation 13:5–7, where the beast speaks “great things and blasphemies” and wages war against the saints for forty‑two months.

The continuity of language—exalting himself, speaking blasphemies, prospering for a limited prophetic period—demonstrates that Daniel, Paul, and John are describing the same figure. Daniel 7:24–25 adds further confirmation: the little horn arises after ten kings, speaks great words against the Most High, changes times and laws, and rules for “a time, times, and half a time,” the same three‑and‑a‑half‑year period found in Revelation 13. The king of the north in Daniel 11:36 performs the same actions, linking all these passages into a single prophetic portrait.

“The God of His Fathers”: Clues to Lineage

One of the most intriguing statements in Daniel 11:37 is that the king of the north “shall not regard the God of his fathers.” The Hebrew phrase elohei avotav (“the God of his fathers”) is used throughout the Old Testament to refer specifically to the God of Israel—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Psalm 50:1 identifies El as Yahweh: “The mighty God, even the LORD,” better rendered, “The mighty El, even Yahweh.” This indicates that the king of the north rejects the very God his ancestors once acknowledged.

This detail suggests that the final adversary arises from a lineage historically connected to the covenant people. While Scripture does not specify his tribe or nation, Daniel’s language implies that he descends from a people whose forefathers once knew Yahweh. This aligns with the prophetic theme of the scattered northern tribes, who were exiled by Assyria in 722 BC and dispersed among the nations. The northern kingdom’s scattering forms part of the backdrop for Daniel’s repeated references to “the north,” both geographically and symbolically.

Geography and the Northern Pattern

In biblical prophecy, “north” is always defined from the perspective of Jerusalem. Jeremiah 1:14 declares, “Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.” Daniel follows this same orientation. The historical Seleucid kingdom lay to Israel’s north, and the eschatological king of the north follows this pattern.

Ezekiel 38–39 reinforces this northern motif. Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, comes “from the far north” in the “latter years” to invade Israel, only to be destroyed on the mountains of Israel. The invasion pattern, timing, and northern origin resonate strongly with Daniel’s description of the king of the north.

Connection to the Revived Roman World

Daniel 7:23–24 identifies the fourth kingdom as Rome, which historically expanded into Europe and the Mediterranean. Revelation 17 describes a ten‑king confederacy that gives power to the beast, suggesting a revived form of the Roman world. Daniel 11:40’s reference to “many ships” implies a Mediterranean reach consistent with this revived empire.

Thus, the king of the north emerges from a region historically tied to both the Seleucid north and the broader Roman world—geographically northern, politically western, and prophetically connected to Israel’s ancient enemies.

Conclusion

When the historical background of Daniel 11 is combined with the eschatological details of verses 36–45, a unified picture emerges. The king of the north is not merely a regional monarch but the final world ruler described throughout Scripture. His blasphemous self‑exaltation matches Paul’s man of sin and John’s beast. His rejection of “the God of his fathers” suggests a lineage once connected to Yahweh. His northern origin aligns with the prophetic geography of Daniel, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. And his political power fits the revived Roman confederacy of Revelation. Taken together, these strands reveal that Daniel’s king of the north, Paul’s man of sin, and John’s beast are one and the same—the final adversary who rises at the end of the age to oppose the Most High before being destroyed by the appearing of Christ.

Christ Cannot Come Back Tonight

Here Is Why

In 54 A.D., the believers in Thessalonica were troubled by the idea that Christ could return at any moment. Paul writes his second letter to correct this very fear. He tells them plainly that the day of Christ will not come until certain events take place. His warning is sharp: “Let no man deceive you.” False teachers were already spreading the idea of an any‑moment return. The same deception echoes today in pulpits across the land: “Christ could come back tonight!” they proclaim.

But Paul contradicts that notion. He lays out a sequence—clear, unavoidable, prophetic markers that must unfold before Christ returns.

1. The Falling Away

Paul’s first sign is a great apostasy: “There shall come a falling away first” (2 Thess. 2:3). This is not a minor drift but a wholesale departure from the apostolic faith. Many who claim Christ, will abandon the truth. They will embrace darkness while believing themselves enlightened. They will exchange the gospel of the Kingdom for “another gospel,” crafted by false teachers who preach a Christ of their own imagination.

The devil’s ministers will not proclaim the righteousness of God’s Kingdom. They will offer a counterfeit Christianity—comfortable, powerless, and blind. This falling away is not merely doctrinal confusion; it is spiritual rebellion, and it is already happening in many churches.

2. The Man of Sin Revealed

The second sign is even more sobering: “That man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.” This is not merely a spirit of deception but a specific human being—Satan’s masterpiece of delusion. He will possess extraordinary power, granted by God as judgment upon a world that “received not the love of the truth.” Because they rejected truth, God sends them a strong delusion (2:11). They will believe the lie, and the masses will follow this man straight into perdition.

Before Christ returns, the elect will recognize this man. His identity will not be hidden from those who walk in the light. Therefore, the modern claim that Christ could return “tonight” collapses under Paul’s teaching. If the elect cannot identify the Antichrist, then the day of Christ is not yet here.

3. The Antichrist in the Temple

Paul gives the defining mark of this man of sin: he will oppose God and exalt himself above God. How? By sitting “in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” This is not symbolic language. It is a literal act of blasphemous self‑exaltation.

But there is no temple in Jerusalem today. Therefore, the temple must be rebuilt before this prophecy can be fulfilled. Christ Himself confirms this sequence in Matthew 24. After the early birth pangs—wars, rumors of wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes—He points to a specific event: the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel. This abomination is the Antichrist enthroning himself in the temple as God (Matt. 24:15; Daniel 9:23).

This moment will ignite the Great Tribulation: “Then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world” (Matt. 24:21). It will be the darkest hour humanity has ever known. Yet for the elect’s sake, those days will be shortened. God will not allow His chosen ones to be swept away with the wicked. But this also means the elect are still on earth during the tribulation—so much for the escapist fantasy of a secret rapture. The rapture doctrine says that all Christians will be raptured before the great tribulation. Christ says that the elect will be going through the Tribulation Period and will come close to annihilation.

The True Sign of Christ’s Return

As this age draws to its close, Scripture gives us one unmistakable sign: the revealing of the Antichrist in the rebuilt temple. This false messiah will blaspheme God before the nations, and the world will marvel after him. His rise will mark the final counterfeit kingdom of Satan before the true King appears.

Therefore, Christ cannot come back tonight. Not because we doubt His promise, but because He Himself told us what must happen first. The temple must rise. The man of sin must be revealed. The abomination must stand in the rebuilt temple declaring himself God. Only then will the heavens open and the Son of Man appear in power and great glory.

Watch for the counterfeit kingdom. Watch for the man of sin. These are the signs that the end is truly near. Comment on how you see these things. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Etching: A Biblical and Scientific Case for the Mark in Revelation

Introduction

There are moments in life when a truth long hidden suddenly flashes into view—so sharp, so unexpected, that it leaves the heart trembling. One such moment came to me after decades of searching, praying, and studying the mystery of the “mark of the beast.” For years I had sifted through theories, opinions, and speculations, yet none brought the clarity my soul longed for. Then, by the mercy of God, a single word in Scripture opened a door I had never seen before. What I discovered was astounding: the ancient biblical description of the mark and the modern scientific process behind microchip technology speak the same language—the language of etching.

Thesis:

This essay will demonstrate that the microchip is indeed the mark of the beast, for it fulfills the biblical description of an etching and the secular, technological requirements of a world system capable of controlling who may buy or sell. Two witnesses—Scripture and science—speak with one voice.

Roadmap:

To establish this, we will examine (1) the biblical meaning of the word “mark” as found in the book of Revelation, (2) the scientific process of microchip fabrication and its reliance on etching, and (3) the historical and modern understanding of the “beast” as the world system that governs human commerce. Together, these witnesses confirm the same truth.

The Biblical Witness—An Etching

When seeking to understand the “mark of the beast,” I did not begin with popular theories or modern interpretations. I went directly to the Scriptures. Using Strong’s Concordance, I examined the Greek word translated as “mark” in Revelation. The definition was precise and unmistakable: “to etch, an etching, a scratching.” This is not a metaphor, nor a vague symbol. It is a physical act—an engraving upon a surface. Scripture therefore identifies the mark as something etched, something inscribed, something physically impressed upon the body. This biblical witness establishes the first requirement: the mark must involve an etching.

The Secular Witness—Microchips and the Etching Process

The second witness comes from the scientific world. In the manufacturing of microchips, there is a critical stage known as etching—the fifth step in the fabrication process. During this stage, layers of silicon are precisely etched to form the microscopic pathways that allow the chip to function. Without this etching, a microchip cannot exist. The parallel is striking: the very technology proposed for global identification and commerce is created through the same process described by the Greek word for “mark.” The biblical and scientific languages converge on the same concept—an etching.

The Beast—A World System Requiring Control

Throughout history, the term “beast” has been widely understood to represent world‑dominating systems—empires, governments, or global powers that shape human life. In the 21st century, the world system is undeniably technological. It is digital, interconnected, and increasingly centralized. Revelation describes a time when no one may buy or sell without the mark. For such control to be possible, a system must exist that can identify, track, and regulate every individual. The microchip provides exactly that capability. It is the tool a global system would require to enforce economic participation. Thus, the microchip fulfills not only the biblical description of an etching but also the practical requirements of the world system—the beast.

Conclusion

When the sacred witness of Scripture and the secular witness of science are placed side by side, a unified picture emerges. The biblical “mark” is defined as an etching. The microchip is created through etching. The world system—the beast—requires a means to control buying and selling, and the microchip provides that means. After decades of searching, the revelation became clear: the microchip fulfills both the spiritual and the technological criteria. Two witnesses—one ancient, one modern—confirm the same truth. And by God’s grace, this understanding has been unveiled for such a time as this.    Kenneth Wayne Hancock

John the Baptist—Forerunner of Yahweh in Human Form

From the moment John the Baptist stepped out of the wilderness, his voice shattered the silence of four hundred years with a message that demanded attention: “Prepare the way of the Lord.” His cry was more than a call to repentance — it was the announcement that Israel’s God was drawing near in an unprecedented way.

John’s mission as the forerunner only makes sense when seen through the lens of the oneness of God: the eternal Yahweh was coming to His people clothed in human flesh. John the Baptist’s ministry points directly to the mystery and majesty of the incarnation — that “God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself,” and John’s role was to prepare hearts for the arrival of the Son of God, who is the visible expression of the one true God Yahweh.

John the Baptist was unique, for he pointed a nation to the Son of God. The Son was going throughout the land doing miracles, claiming that it could only be the Father Yahweh working the miracles (John 14:10).

The miracles gave life, for Life was in the Son of God. “And the Life was the light of men” (John 1:4). John the Baptist was “not that Light but was sent to bear witness of that Light” (v. 8). The voice of one was crying in the wilderness, telling all to repent, for the Son of God—the Light—had come. He had studied the words of the Holy Spirit, the Comforter—words through the pen of Isaiah (Isaiah 40:1-5).

“Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.” This shows us that the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, is come. “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me.” He will testify the truth as to who I am.  (John 15:26).

The Spirit of truth will reveal secrets concerning just who the Son of God is. The secret is this: The Son is the Father clothed in human form. Proof: Isaiah 9:6 speaks of Christ, the Son of God, calling Him the “Everlasting Father.”

The Way of Yahweh Is Yahweh’s Way

In Isaiah 40: 3, the voice of the Comforter’s forerunner cries in the wilderness saying, “Prepare the way of the LORD—Yahweh, Yahweh in human form.

We are on the way of Yahweh when we “make straight in the desert a highway for our God. [He is speaking of a desert highway for the Christ, the Son of God.] Every valley [the lowly and humble] shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill [the proud nations] shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight…and the glory of Yahweh shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it” (verses 3-5).

The voice of the forerunner commands us, “Prepare the way of the LORD, who is Yahweh.” John the Baptist was speaking of Yahshua of Nazareth, of course. Therefore, the Son of God is the “way of Yahweh.” For Yahshua said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life—of Yahweh.”

The Son of God is the way of Yahweh. He is Yahweh’s way to manifest love unto this world. The Son is Yahweh’s way to provide forgiveness of sins. The Son is Yahweh’s way to give man hope in the resurrection. The Son, the appearance of Yahweh in human form, is the way that Yahweh makes Himself known to His creation (“I and my Father are one… If you have seen me you have seen the Father.”)

John the Baptist was that voice of one,” the forerunner of Yahweh, who came in the Son of God. “Prepare the way of Yahweh. Make His paths straight.” The Savior Yahshua is the path, the way, that leads us from death to life, from mortality to immortality.

The Spirit said to prepare the way of Yahweh. And sure enough, Yahweh came right after John the Baptist’s announcement. Yahweh came in human form, in the form of a servant, a humble man “acquainted with grief.” And He wept over His creation, for He had created them, and they had gone astray and were scattered as “sheep without a shepherd.”

And so, it goes on today. The everlasting Father is reaching out to whomsoever will come. Who will believe that it is the Father Creator God Himself who walks in human form among us? Who will believe that He “tasted death for every man. He then was raised from the dead, His body changed into a spiritual body which matches the original spirit body that He created everything in, in the beginning.

But “few there be to find this way of truth.” Yahweh’s way. How important is all this? The Son said, The only way that one may worship God is “in spirit and in truth.” The truth about God, His nature, where He is found, how He reveals Himself—all this is the truth. And the Son said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”

Conclusion

John the Baptist’s ministry forms a vital bridge between Israel’s prophetic hope and the revelation of God in Christ. His message prepared the hearts of the people for more than a teacher or miracle‑worker; it prepared them for the arrival of Yahweh in human flesh. Through the lens of the oneness of God, John’s role becomes even more astonishing: he was announcing that the God who promised to come to His people had finally arrived, not through another, but in His own incarnate presence. John’s voice still echoes today, calling us to behold the Lamb of God — the Son who reveals the Father because He is the very presence of the one true God among us (John 20:28; 1 Timothy 3:16).      Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Unveiling of God’s Sons: Love’s Final Act

God’s final act of love for this world is the unveiling of His children during these latter days. These sons and daughters are not the average church-going Christians. They will know that everything that has ever taken place on earth is prerequisite to this final revealing.

All the apostles spoke of their existence in His plan. The apostle John said that we are the sons (children) of God and that we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is” (I John 3:2). Being like him is not just being saved and going to church. No, He’s promising to do the same things in the earth, the same miracle working power continuing.

John also said that when we receive the Spirit of Christ, God will give us “power to become the sons of God, even to them who believe on his name.” Christ’s Hebrew name is Yahshua. It means Yah is the Savior (John 1:12).

The central theme of Paul’s writings was God revealing His sons to the world. He said that the entire creation “groans and travails in pain waiting for the adoption, waiting for the “manifestation of the sons of God” (Romans 8:19-22). He said that Christ was the first-born son, “the first born among many brothers” (8: 29).

Peter Confirms It

Peter calls the sons of God “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people… the people of God” (I Peter 2 :9). He also says that God has given us promises wherein we are “partakers of the divine nature” (II Pet. 1:4). We now take part in God’s sinless nature, growing up in Him.

Not Many Mighty, Not Many Noble Are Called and Chosen

God has deliberately chosen people who are not powerful. In fact, these future 100-fold sons and daughters of God are taken from a lower state on the earth, so that when God effects great spiritual changes in their lives, and they begin to do the “greater works,” then they will know who is doing it–God and not them. “That no flesh should glory in His presence” (I Cor.1:29).

They are new recruits in Gideon’s army; they are very few; they are without weapons for earthly combat. These future manifested sons will be despised like Goliath despised David, but God has chosen them, and they will surrender to His call. And they will help bring an end to Satan’s government. This is the revelation that the stories from the Old Testament tell us.

The offspring of God, who once were dead in their sins, have now been made alive by his faith in Christ’s resurrection. God, “declaring the end from the beginning,” sees the end product of God’s spiritual life cycle within them and “calls those things that be not [Christ fully in them] as though they were.” (Romans 4:17).

Finally, this divine unveiling is not a distant hope but a present reality unfolding in the hearts of those who believe. The Spirit of Christ empowers His children to walk in the fullness of their identity—not merely as followers, but as manifest sons carrying His likeness and authority. As creation groans in anticipation, the sons of God arise, revealing Yahweh’s glory through lives transformed and miracles continued. This is the culmination of all history: the revelation of a people who reflect Him, move in Him, and fulfill His purpose on earth.   kwh [If this has stirred your heart, tell His people about it by commenting.

The Final Act of the Play, “The Book of Life”

Every war waged on the battlefields of this blood-stained earth, every government’s shady dealings in back rooms with the super-rich, every sober gathering of this world’s elite as they plot out the next step to One World Government, and every humble gathering of God’s people who are concerned with the above–everything has led us to the final act in the performance of The Play that the Creator is staging.

The Final Act of The Play

The final act written by the Author of the Book of Life is soon to be finished.  It stars the Creator Himself as the protagonist, that glorious and righteous Spirit-of-Love clothed in His heavenly spiritual body.  He is known in the English speaking world as Jesus Christ, and in Hebrew His name is Yahshua [meaning “Yah Is Savior” in Hebrew].  The climax of The Play happens during this final act, which is known as the “time of the end” of this present evil world system.

In it we see the prince of darkness as the antagonist, with every advantage, who goes about deceiving the whole world and almost everyone in it.  He is an invisible spirit, “the prince of the power of the air,” who enters into the minds of humans, tempting them to do evil things.  And he has tricked all but a select few into believing him that he is the “Peace-giver” and not Christ–that he is the savior of the world.

The Leader of the One World Government

Satan will dwell fully in the antagonist, who is known by many names in scripture: the Anti-Christ, the Deceiver of the brethren, the devil, the Beast, et al.  He is the counterfeit Christ, come to save the world from itself, for in the final act, wars, famines, earthquakes, tsunamis, asteroid collisions and more shall plague the earth, according to the script of The Play, written in the Book of Life, found in the Bible.

So the whole world will “wonder after” this handsome, cosmopolitan leader of the One World Government, this New World Order.  He will be a sweet talker, with honeyed lips and candied words couched in viral smiles and will schmooze his way into the hearts of the masses.

Many have been his prototype: Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Charlemagne, the many Popes who still hold the old pagan title Pontifice Maximus, Napoleon, Hitler, and now those in our day who call for, or who are sympathetic with the NWO and its One Word Government.

We are living in the end time!  I knew about this some forty years ago, but then it was in the mists of the future, like looking back into the mists of the past.  It was covered up, difficult to get information on.  We called it a conspiracy, but now its actions are done in the open.  They are blatant and audacious, for they believe that because of the apathy of the masses, they will succeed.  It is stunning to see it go that way so rapidly.

The Climax

This is the setting for the climax in which Satan’s government will fall, smashed to pieces by Christ’s “stone kingdom,” the Kingdom (Government) of Heaven.

Christ will bring down this evil worldly empire in a spectacular way.  “Vengeance is mine, saith the LORD, I will repay.”  He will use his hidden army of heavenly projectiles, the asteroids, to smash into the earth, destroying the super-rich’s plans for world domination.  This is God’s secret weapon; you can read all about it in Revelation 8 and 9.

We all know now that civilizations would be ruined by just one asteroid impact.  Movies and documentaries have given us a preview of coming events written in the prophecies.

The Unveiling of God’s Sons and Daughters

These disasters will set the final scene of the final act of  The Play.  It is during these horrible happenings that God brings forth on the earth His royal treasure–His sons and daughters.  These are redeemed from among mortal man.  These at this time will be revealed to the suffering inhabitants of the world as His progeny, His handiwork, the culmination of His patience.  For they are His offspring, the results of His reproductive process–His reproducing Himself!

Unbelievable?  “With God all things are possible.”  “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.”

These will be His rulers in the new government that He will set up literally in the earth in the aftermath of the destruction of the evil world system.  They are the crowning creative act of the Holy One.  They are the epitome of His eternal purpose.  And they will be the key players in the New Play that He will produce and direct in the next age.                                                                           Kenneth Wayne Hancock

WAR! Good God, Y’all! What Is It Good For?

“Absolutely nothing!” answers the choir resolutely.  

I get Edwin Starr’s sentiment. War. I hate it. I was in a big one. Vietnam. It was sickening to see and hear the dying young men, day in and day out. And for what? Of course, most are going to agree that there is absolutely nothing that war is good for. But according to the Spirit in the prophet Isaiah, God sees it differently.

I have learned that war is history’s twisted tale. And war is like tribute that must be paid for a tribe to move into supposed greener pastures. But the pastures putrefy in the slosh of conflict. And the pride and hubris of the leaders won’t let them pause and think about what they are unleashing on the people.

Wars—A Sign of the End Times

Christ speaks of “wars and rumors of wars.” He is talking about wars that have a connection to ­the Holy Land. As you know, war is raging in Gaza, Israel, and Lebanon. Rumors abound about a regional war between Iran and their proxies and Israel and the U.S. Today’s middle east wars and rumors of a wider war are imminent. Israel at war is one of the major signs that we are living in “the time of the end.”

Christ was teaching His disciples at the temple. They asked Him what we are asking Him today, “What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world” (Matt. 24:3). The first sign was not to be deceived by counterfeit false prophets (vs. 4-5).

The second sign was about war. “And when you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom” (Mark 13:7-8).  

Wars in and around the Holy Land must take place, says Christ. Must? To Get to Christ’s return and the end of the world system, there must come wars and more wars. So don’t be troubled, Christ is saying; wars must happen. “These things must come to pass” before the end comes.

But, why? These many wars shall happen because Yahweh has ordained it. Seeds of hatred have been sown. They must come to harvest. God wills these things to be. For the wars all over the world will help prepare for Christ’s return as King of God’s Kingdom. The wars will also bring on the end of the present world system. God gives a clear picture of how He will use war to prepare the way for Christ’s return.

Yahweh Foments the Wars

The Spirit of Christ in Isaiah reveals it in detail in a prophetic picture called “the burden of Egypt” in chapter 19. “Egypt” is universally recognized as a symbol of the world. Isaiah 19 is an extended metaphor of how the whole world will disintegrate at the time of the end through the wars that God allows. We see in 19:1 that Yahweh is directly involved in fomenting wars in the world. Yahweh is a Spirit that “shall come into Egypt.”

Yahweh will enter the minds of the peoples of the world. The result? “The idols of Egypt [the world] shall be moved at His presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.” God will shake it up. A man’s idol is who or what he is in awe of. But God will shake the people’s confidence in whom or what they have trusted. He will do it through His presence. The people of the world will have their hearts melt in fear.  

God will challenge and shake up their whole belief system. “And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom” (v. 2).

God will do this. And all this turmoil, commotion, and war will cause the world’s spirit to fail and be emptied of its efficacy and strength. The world system and its leaders and followers will be consumed by war and its fears. For God “will destroy the counsel” of the world. Entities that were trusted will fail. “And they shall seek to their idols, and to the charmers” and to all the purveyors of peace. But to no avail. War will have consumed all reason.

Then Yahweh will deliver the world [Egypt] “into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them…” (verses 3-4). This is obviously a reference to the “man of sin,” the counterfeit world savior, the anti-Christ, the head of the one world government as seen in Revelation. How could the anti-Christ take over and rule the earth? Through national exhaustion caused by incessant war! It has always been “divide and conquer.”

However, by Yah’s great mercy, we see at the end of the chapter how the whole world transitions into blessed territories under the rule of Christ the King. It ends in a picture of reconciliation for the world and its nations, under the wings of God. After the establishment of His government throughout the earth, He will say to the nations, “Blessed be Egypt my people and Assyria, the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance” (Isa. 19:25). Assyria is the work of His hands!  

All these wars and the strife they cause is all orchestrated by God himself: “The work of my hands.” Through the fiery crucible of war comes God’s destiny for the nations, a glorious lasting peace throughout the earth, headed by the Prince of peace, the Son of God and the world’s Savior. HalleluYah!

Man has his own noble thoughts about war. But we must remember what He said. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD [Yahweh]”. The good news is that we can make our thoughts His thoughts by “casting down imaginations…and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (II Cor. 10:5).

All this is why wars “must come to pass” before Christ returns to establish His Kingdom.

The Ebb and Flow of the Abiding

I have noticed that there is an ebb and flow of the Spirit’s presence in my life. I say this not as a criticism of our merciful Savior, for He does all things well.

But I have observed that after a wonderful welling up of His presence within me, His Spirit subsides. Of course, it is I that backs out of the light that He shines. The rays of understanding engulf me, and then, I must back away a bit. I realize that it is “line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little.”

It is as if this old wine skin of my mind and body cannot stand the constant pressure of the new wine, so I recede a bit. It’s like being in the heavenlies for a while, and then needing to return to the earth’s atmosphere where I may breathe again the accustomed mixture of gases suitable for my current mortal tabernacle. I ponder this ebb and flow of His Spirit, or rather, my drifting away from His rarefied heavenly atmosphere.

I recall passages of scriptures describing what happens to his children who abide in him and not ebb and flow, but rather stay in him.

Our Savior said much about the abiding that we are to maintain. He believes that it is possible and necessary for us to have His Spirit remain, stay, dwell, and continue in our vessels.

Oh, how we need our new spiritual bodies that He has promised us! He knows our frailties, our weaknesses, and our faults. But He has promised us that He would raise us up at the end of this earth age. If we are alive upon His return, He will change us, as “mortality is swallowed up” by  our new spiritual body. If we expire before He returns, He will change us when He sweeps down to earth. We are coming back with Him, our Captain and leader. The ebb and flow will be no more, for we will be full of His Spirit. A glorious time is coming. Now we must wait until our time. “If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come” (Job 14:14).     Kenneth Wayne Hancock
