“Why do politicians allow criminals to go unpunished, when they know that the citizenry hates to see such soft-on-crime policies result in terrific spikes in crime?”

.

This was the question which a mystified TV talk-show host asked the other hosts, as he concluded by saying…“After all, this cannot be a winning agenda for these politicians!”

WHY, WHY, WHY???

.

Well, similar questions could also be asked!

.

For example…

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JudasRM.jpg“Why do governors let convicted criminals walk free from prison only to return to the streets to continue their crime sprees?”

.

“Why do some adults bring their young children into barrooms to watch and even participate in Drag Shows where lewdly-attired grown-ups engage in extremely sexualized behavior, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jazz_Jennings_2016.jpgwithout being arrested?”

.

“Why are innocent young children being given harmful drugs and mutilating surgeries to attempt to change their gender, also, without any push-back or retribution?”

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:VegasBitch198.jpg“Why is the government dishing out billions in “free money” to the citizenry instead of promoting job-creation?

.

“And why is the government giving away trillions of dollars to whoever they please, knowing that by so-doing, they are ruining the economy?!”

.

“And why do politicians encourage multitudes of non-citizens to flood over the national border?!”

.

“And why have cities and states legalized deadly hallucinogenic drugs, also allowing deadly drugs to pour over our borders, destroying/killing millions?”

.

“And why have cities and states to allow drug addicts and criminals wipe out the merchandise in various stores and shops?”

“and the cities of the nations fell”

Revelation 16:19

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Yellow_Press_by_L.M._Glackens.jpg.

Well, these are just a few puzzling questions, which many cannot answer. After all, these deeds by politicians cannot possibly garner a majority of votes at election time, can they?

.

Of course, some will say…“these atrocities are being covered up by the corrupt national media!”

.

Or they might also claim…“these politicians are facilitating election fraud, so as to skew elections in their favor!”

.

Or they might even surmise…“The media goliaths have brainwashed the masses with their evil ideologies!”

But is there an even greater reason why all this evil is occurring?

.

Well, let’s briefly explore this extremely puzzling question.

BIBLE PROPHECY PREDICTED THIS!

.

The Book of Revelation speaks of a beast which is identified in Chapters 16, 19, and 20, as “The False Prophet”.

.

Now, contrary to popular opinion, this false Prophet is not merely one single individual, but represents Satan’s modus-operandi in these last centuries.

.

THE 1ST BEAST

.

So, this False Prophet antichrist spirit is the 2nd Beast of Revelation 13.

.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Burgkmair_whore_babylon_color.jpg

But just what or who is that 1st Beast of Revelation 13?

.

Well, Satan originally came as the 1st Beast of Revelation 13 during the Dark Ages (picture left), persecuting and killing all those who clung to their Bibles in the face of the great apostate Church of Rome, which used the civil governments as their enforcers, torturers, and henchmen.

.

.

THE 2ND BEAST

.

But after this 1st beast received his deadly wound by a sword (the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God: Ephesians 6:13, 14), which was the printing press and all the Bibles it produced, Satan altered his modus-operandi, establishing a new and improved Beast.

.

The new beast, the False Prophet, was actually Satan’s antichrist spirit working in and through his vast unseen armies to deceive the world and cause them to worship the 1st beast, which is ultimately the image of Satan and his kingdom, this antichrist world-system.

THE FALSE PROPHET’S TWO HORNS: MERCY & JUSTICE

.

But before we get into some very tall weeds, let’s back out and focus on just one of this beast’s two horns. Yes, the Bible reveals that this second beast has two horns like a lamb. And of course, the Lamb of God, Jesus has two horns of power, Mercy and Truth. And our focus today is on the mercy horn of this False Prophet. And as we look out upon the political landscape we can readily see a political entity which claims to be the arbiters and defenders of mercy and compassion.

.

But unlike Jesus, who is the essence of true mercy and compassion, this false prophet beast is a terrible counterfeit of true mercy and compassion!

MISGUIDED MERCY IS OFTEN HYPOCRITICAL 

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fetus_ellipse.jpgFor instance, while this False Prophet is so concerned about saving endangered animal species, he has absolutely no problem with murdering unborn babies in the sacred sanctuary and supposed safe-haven of their mother’s womb!

.

And furthermore, because this False Prophet Beast is so “merciful” to mothers who need abortions, the innocent little developing children are heartlessly and ruthlessly sucked out and cast into dumpsters, never to be seen again!

.

And while this False Prophet is so tender and merciful towards the certain politically protected sexual groups, it has no problem with trampling on the rights of Christians who own businesses and desire to maintain their biblical viewpoints. Yes, while standing up for the rights of one group, this False Prophet has no problem with destroying the rights and even the livelihood of another group.

TRAMPLING ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH

.

And while this same “merciful” False Prophet is so concerned about freedom of speech, he has no difficulty in stamping out the speech of all those who do not uphold this beast’s conception of political correctness. And he makes laws which enforce so-called, “hate speech”, which on the surface seem rather good and perhaps even noble, but are quite often used to trample on the freedom of speech of Christians and others as well.

GENUINE MERCY AND COMPASSION ONLY IN JESUS

.

And so, these are just a few examples of how “mercy and compassion” have become a miserable counterfeit of true mercy and genuine compassion which only Jesus can share with His followers and disciples.

.

And because these supposed “acts of compassion” results in oppression and destruction of the general populace, this left horn believes it is being merciful.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

And the Good News is that any man, woman, or child who desires to have true mercy and compassion can renounce and turn away from this two-beast, antichrist world-system, and begin to follow Jesus as leads His sheep up the gently ascending Highway to Heaven!

7 HEADS, 10 HORNS, & 7 CROWNS OF THE DRAGON

.

“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Rev. 12:3 

.Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation

In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not. But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars. The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7). And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10). So we have this 7 and 10 numbering. And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent. Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).
