A different gospel
There are two very different gospels being preached. One is open, from the rooftops, out in the light. The other is hidden, secret, full of lies and deceit.
In the Bible's gospel we have the Christian ethic, work hard, have faith in God, and you will reap what you sow.
In this antithesis of the gospel it is all about prospering off of someone else's labor. With one hand you do good works as PR, with the hidden hand you bring death and destruction. For example, let's say the government wanted to become much more powerful. Hitler did this, you create a problem, say the Communists, and then the people seek you out to have a more aggressive police department where you now have a firmer grip over the country. Perhaps the Jews see through this so you decide to make them the enemy. You destroy them with one hand, and then steal everything they have and use that to fund your "good works". It is like a snake devouring itself.
Suppose the real goal is to have greater control over the people, like branding cattle. You create something that can track every human being on the planet by simply injecting it into them. You can first test this out on animals and prisoners. This could even store digital information like bank accounts. If you can eliminate cash you have even greater control over people. But no one would agree to this so you create a catastrophe, a pandamic, and then use that as a way to motivate people to get your injection.
Satan comes only to steal, kill and destroy. If you are part of the 1% that rule the world, then it is an easy thing to see killing 1/3 of the people on this planet as a solution to your problems. Hitler saw this as the solution, Stalin saw it this way, Lenin saw it this way, you should not think it strange that "the ruler of this age" would see stealing and murder as a solution.
G.K. Chesterton said the study of history should be a study of power elites. Instead historians obscure and deny the truth. The more I read, the more I am convinced that the function of the news media, the arts, education and entertainment is to deceive and make us stupid. While we are numbed and distracted, our leaders carry out their orders under occult discipline (or blackmail.) As human life becomes degraded, it seems less worth saving. The devil is afoot and all-powerful. As long as he uses deceit, good people seem helpless to resist. https://rense.com/general29/free.htm
The Noahide laws are a disturbing development. The US and the UN both recognize them and on the surface they seem Biblical. However, the penalty for blasphemy is beheading and that includes declaring that Jesus is Lord.
Obviously that is a violation of the US constitution and those penalties have not been enforced. The thought is that after the rapture Satan is cast out of heaven, the Antichrist rises and to maintain order not only do they push the "great delusion" of UFOs and something out of a Marvel movie script, but they will also declare martial law and enforce the Noahide law to prevent anyone from preaching that Jesus is Lord.
This is prophesied in the Bible when the fifth seal is opened as we see the souls of those who have been beheaded.
