Maurice Sklar: The Angel of the Lord Over the Statue of Liberty

Statue Of Liberty - Public Domain

(Editor’s Note: This was a prophetic dream that was given to Maurice Sklar)

This week I had a dream.  It was a terribly frightening dream.  In it, I saw a huge angel standing suspended in the air over New York harbor.  It looked so large that it covered the night sky.  His body was clad in golden armor as if he was going to war.  His face and entire being were so bright that I could not gaze up at him for long.  White beams of light seemed to radiate outward from him in all directions. He was standing over the Statue of Liberty. It was night, but I could hardly see the lights around him coming from New York City as he blazed so brightly with divine light.

He reached for his belt that was covered with a red sash around his mid section, and drew out his sword.  It was so massive! It blazed with light and fire all around it.  It looked at least 100 feet long!  I have never felt such fear when I saw an angel before.  I just knew this mighty warring spirit had authority from the very throne of God.  He had a grim expression as he held this mighty sword over his head with both hands.  I could see that he was poised to hit the Statue of Liberty and cleave it in two!  I trembled and tried to hide, but the angel was looking directly at me, and I knew there was nowhere to go that he would not see me.

Then he spoke! His voice was like thunder and echoed throughout the whole harbor.  He said,

“How long will you refuse to humble yourself, O America!  You have been weighed in the balances of God and found wanting.  Your beginning was great and noble, but your end shall be disgrace and destruction!  

Thus saith the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the LORD of Hosts,

‘Time is running out.  The bowls of My wrath are full of My fury and judgment.  They shall be poured out upon you.  You shall drink them down…to the dregs…every drop! I have come to you day and night pleading with you to return to Me for over one hundred years.  I am merciful and long suffering.  It brings Me no joy to judge you. But, you have hardened your hearts, scoffed at My warnings through My prophets, and my holy servants.  I brought you from nothing and exalted you, O America, higher than any other nation!  But now you have fallen lower than Sodom.  You have sinned greater than Egypt.  You have become prouder than Babylon and Persia.  You have become more selfish than Rome.  You have exalted yourself in your own wisdom higher than Greece.  You have more idols and high places of idolatry and luxury than any Gentile kingdom in history.  Your beginning was pure and great, butnow the stench of your sin and filth fills My nostrils!  I shall cut you in pieces and you shall reap the harvests of wrath from what you have sown!  You shall no longer be the Queen of nations.  Now you shall bear your shame and become the lowest of the heathen nations! Now, as Agag, you shall be hacked in pieces!  O EARTH, EARTH, EARTH, HEAR YE THE WORD OF THE LORD!”
Then, to my horror, that massive sword came smashing down on Lady Liberty.  When it hit the top of her head, there was a blinding flash of light and that sword split her in two – right down the middle!  Then the sword came again and again against her.  It divided her in pieces.  As the sword would finish each strike, fires would burst forth.  I heard terrible explosions.  The vision of the Statue ended with an earthquake as it was hacked into pieces and sunk into the harbor.

I was weeping and crying out to God for mercy.  Never had I seen this side of God before.  I had only really known the love and goodness of Him, never had I seen the Wrath of the Almighty!

Then, as if I was watching from a zoomed-in close up…the dream shifted and I started to zoom outward from New York harbor and started traveling in the air over America.  What I saw was horror beyond anything I have ever seen!  I saw the United States seem to crack in two with a giant earthquake – right down the middle!  I saw the Southeastern United States covered with a giant wave of water from the ocean.  I saw a massive earthquake that just seemed to crack off the coast of California.  It reminded me of a Saltine cracker that just cracked in two!  The great cities along the West coast just fell into the ocean, all the way from Mexico up to Alaska and giant waves flooded inland until much of the West Coast just wasn’t there!  It had disappeared into the Pacific Ocean.

Then I saw three giant rocket missiles that took off into the air.  Two came from out of the ocean waters, and one came from land and traveled a great distance.  All of them blew up in the air one, two, and THREE in the upper atmosphere within five minutes of each other.  It was out near space.  They were terrible nuclear bombs.  But the last one was the biggest and it created a huge mushroom cloud over the Midwest part of America.  Then the ground shook and everything just went black.  There wasn’t any electric light coming out of any homes. Then candles began to be lit and fires, and a little light was seen.  There were other nuclear explosions, and many people perished throughout the nation.  There was just twisted metal and charred debris in cities that once were tall and majestic.

There was widespread looting and gangs roaming about everywhere with guns, stealing whatever food and supplies they could find.  Then I saw what looked like elite riot police by the thousands go into communities and even cities, force the people out of their homes, and brought into what looked like concentration camps.  Some, but not all of these “police armies” had light blue helmets on.  Hundreds of thousands of people were arrested in this way.  Many would not “cooperate” and were just shot and left dead in their homes.

But, there were millions of hidden groups that escaped the first wave of these terrible disasters. Revival broke out, and great evangelists and prophets and apostles rose up and began to preach to thousands out doors, and many were saved and were born again.  Miracles of provision, multiplication of food and water, and astonishing healings occurred.  Millions of people cried out to God andhe heard and answered.

I knew that this was not just happening in America, but the Great Tribulation was upon them, and all over the world these calamities were also taking place.

I saw multitudes of Tribulation saints refusing to renounce Jesus as LORD.  They were starving, many of them, but still refused to take the stamp on their bodies so they could eat and live.  There was what looked like kiosks that were in every little town.  They advertised food and water, only if you went inside them and took the electronic mark.  Some went in, bowed down to a holographic movie images of the Antichrist and were branded in their hands and foreheads with a electronic tattoo-like stamp.  When they came out, if they came out, they had a zombie-like look.  Their minds and souls were gone.  It looked like they had a spiritual lobotomy.  Then these immediately joined the armies of those police units, and were given weapons after they were fed and drank and rested in the kiosk.  They were like robots doing the Antichrist’s bidding.  I knew that they were lost forever.  But, quite a few did not make it out.  They were tortured mentally and physically inside the kiosk thing, but, if they still refused the mark of the beast, there was a laser that shot through their brain and heart, and sliced their heads off.  Then they were immediately incinerated.  Nothing but ashes remained.  This was the most horrifying of all.  It made the Nazi death campslook like a picnic, it that is possible. Millions of people were executed in this way via computer systems automatically with such precision and efficiency that I marveled that something like this was even possible and could take place on such a large scale.  The technology was more advanced than I had ever seen.

Then, I was back looking at that terrible angel of the LORD, and he said,

“Warn everyone!  Flee from the wrath to come.  Repent and turn to Jesus while you still can.  Pray that you may escape these things that are shortly to happen, and to stand in the Presence of the LORD.  These things are about to take place!  Turn to God and cry out for mercy.  Come into the ark of Salvation before the doors of grace close and it is too late!”

Blessings,

Maurice Sklar

Chipless RFID Ink

For years there has been a raging debate among Christians who study Bible prophecy.  Many have believed that the coming Mark of the Beast will be an implantable microchip that is inserted into the right hand or the forehead.  Many others insist that the coming Mark of the Beast will be a tattoo of some sort.  Well, perhaps it may be a tattoo that utilizes RFID technology.  A start-up company developing “chipless RFID ink” has already tested its product on cattle and laboratory rats.

Now, it is important to state at the outset that this is NOT the Mark of the Beast.  However, this may represent yet another step towards the technology that someday will be used in the Mark of the Beast.

The name of the company developing this process is Somark.  The RFID tattoo is applied using a geometric array of micro-needles and a reusable applicator with a one-time-use ink capsule.

It takes approximately five to 10 seconds to tattoo an animal (or a human), and there is no need to remove any fur or hair from the recipient of the tattoo.  Once it is applied, an RFID reader can detect the tattoo from up to four feet away.

Somark co-founder Mark Pydynowski says that the ink does not contain any metals and that it is 100% bio-compatible and chemically inert.

He also claims that is is 100% safe for animals and for people

Initially, the executives of Somark hope to market this technology to those who wish to track cattle.

However, it does not take a lot of imagination to think up many other applications for this technology.

Once again, it must be stressed that this is NOT the Mark of the Beast.

However, this is a disturbing development.

The Scriptures tell us in Revelation 13 that someday all of humanity will be forced to take a “Mark” on the right hand or on the forehead by the Antichrist.  Nobody will be allowed to buy or sell without it.

So could this “Mark” end up using RFID tattoo technology?

Perhaps.

We will just have to wait and see.

One World Religion

Will the messianic expectations of all the major world religions pave the way for the rise of the Antichrist? The reality is that all of the major world religions on earth are awaiting a “Messianic figure” who will bring dramatic changes to the earth. Could the coming Antichrist use these expectations to establish his own kingdom?

Religious expectations can be a very, very powerful thing. The reality is that whether a particular religion is true or false, the people who believe those religions desperately want them to be true. Thus, during a time of extreme crisis in the future, it could potentially be quite easy for a world leader to tap into those religious expectations for his own benefit, especially if that world leader is able to tap into the supernatural and perform his own miracles.

For example, those who are Christians look forward to the day when Jesus Christ will return to this earth. Hundreds of millions of people believe that Jesus will return to this planet someday and will make things right. But specific beliefs about that return vary greatly from denomination to denomination.

Considering the fact that Christians seem to know their Bibles less than ever these days, could a supernaturally powerful future world leader who promises to bring peace and prosperity during a time of extreme crisis fool many Christians into thinking that Jesus has come back?

Probably so.

But Christians are not the only ones who are looking for a Messiah.

Jews believe that the Messiah has not come at all yet. One of the core beliefs of Judaism is the coming of a future Messiah who will be the great hero of the Jewish nation.

Connected with this belief is that this future Messiah will be involved in the rebuilding of the Temple and the resumption of Temple sacrifices. Could a future world leader who helps the Jews rebuild their Temple come to be regarded as their Messiah?

Most Christians and Jews don’t realize that Islam is looking forward to a Messianic figure as well. In Islam, that figure is know as “the Mahdi” and the expectation is that this supernatural figure will bring great deliverance to the Islamic world.

Belief in “the Mahdi” is predominantly a Shiite belief, but there are a large number of Sunnis that are looking forward to the coming of “the Mahdi” as well.

Iranian President Mahmoud’s Ahmadinejad is among those who are obsessed with this Shiite Islamic messiah figure.  Perhaps that explains his seeming lack of fear of Western military power.  According to public statements by Ahmadinejad, he believes that he is actually preparing the way for the Mahdi, and that even if Islam experiences short-term defeats, the reality is that the Mahdi is coming and Islam will be ultimately triumphant.

Of course the truth is that “the Mahdi” is not coming, but could the Antichrist tap into this messianic belief as well?

But it doesn’t end with those three religions.

Buddhists and New Agers are looking forward to the coming of a “Lord Maitreya”. 

According to Buddhist tradition, Maitreya is a “bodhisattva” who will some day appear on Earth, achieve total enlightenment, and will teach “the pure dharma”.

In fact, prominent New Age gurus in the West openly declare that either Maitreya has come (but has not yet been revealed to the world) or that he is coming very soon.  World famous New Age teacher Benjamin Creme has made headlines around the world for years with his pronouncements regarding the Maitreya, but so far the promised world teacher has not yet appeared on the scene.

Could the Antichrist some day appear and claim to be the Maitreya?

Hindus are anticipating a messianic figure as well.  Many Hindus are expecting the coming of a figure known as “Kalki”.

Wikipedia explains the expectations regarding “Kalki” this way…..

—–

Contemporary Hindu eschatology is linked in the Vaishnavite tradition to the figure of Kalki, or the tenth and last avatar of Vishnu before the age draws to a close, and Shiva simultaneously dissolves and regenerates the universe.

—–

But the truth is that the discussion above represents just the tip of the iceberg regarding messianic expectations.  Other ancient religions speak of a future “return of the gods”.  Many modern UFO cults have some really bizarre messianic expectations.  Various pagan, Wiccan, occult and Luciferian groups actively look forward to a coming leader, although these beliefs can vary widely.

However, even though there is variance among different religious traditions, the truth is that almost all major religions are looking forward to something – and in most cases that “something” involves a person.

Could the future Antichrist use these expectations by attempting to apply them to himself?

Could the future Antichrist claim to be the Christian Jesus, the Jewish Messiah, the Islamic Mahdi, the Buddhist Maitreya and the Hindu Kalki all at the same time?

Could this be what happens when all of the major religions merge into the one world religion prophesied in the book of Revelation?

The reality is that such a scenario is not going to happen tomorrow, but as the world descends into times of great crisis, the rise of a supernatural world leader become more likely.
