·"Thus Saith The Lord - The Multitude Shall Be Covered"
Regarding the Multitude's Coveted Position - by Mikhael Taube and his Friends
In this essay we will examine the truth concerning a group of individuals we will call "the multitude". This is group is defined as ANY person who calls or attempts to call on the name of the Most High God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph during the time of great tribulation. Or put simply; anyone who wants to be saved through Jesus Christ during the time of the Great Tribulation, specifically during that 42 months described in Revelation 13,(but not necessarily only then). This group could be anyone and not just people that are regular so called church goers; besides does someone know the Lord’s definition of who is a church goer and who is not? Are there a certain number of days a person is required to attend a church to conform to some definition of church goer? Or perhaps simply a verse read out of the bible one time when one was a child makes them a church attendee in the Lord’s view? It is ludicrous to presume to know who is considered a backslidden Christian or a member of the body of Christ or who is not? Certainly it is madness to presume that anybody but the Most High God knows the heart of every man, woman and child on the planet! ANYONE can get saved during this time of tribulation as is written: Multitudes Multitudes in the valley of decision and this does not single out a particular group of people.
First what we need to see is that the multitude are saints of the Most High God and not some sort of second class citizen in the Kingdom of Heaven. They are precious to him and the Lord does not desire them to be butchered, tortured, or so called punished for their supposed sins. Everybody will reap what they have sown, but the Lord God is merciful, slow to anger and not desiring any to perish NOR suffer. Romans 4:7-8 says, "Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are COVERED. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin". Certainly the Lord is not sitting around thinking of ways to punish people for their sins, Christ came to forgive sin and make reconciliation, not to be vindictive and spiteful towards past wickedness of a now repentant sinner! Heb. 9:26 says For then must he (Christ) often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
The power of the Cross of Jesus Christ COVERS all sin and this needs to be remembered. Anyone saying the multitude needs to be punished for their so called sins is a lying whore, vessel of dishonor following after their whore masters artemis, satan and apollo. Scripture has this to say about this group of fallen individuals: But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray.
What will take place for the multitude is a very special COVERING. A powerful and loving covering that very few truly understand. This will be implemented by the Power of the good work of Jesus Christ (the Bridegroom coming for his Bride, the covering cherub!). I John 3:9 says: Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. This covering of the multitude is not the same thing as a sealing of the 144,000 described in Revelation 7:3-4.
Another assumption about the multitude (which is really potentially anybody on the planet during the tribulation) is that they are being punished to bring them back to the Lord from a state of apostasy. The Lord can chastise in many different ways and it is a fabrication that during the tribulation the Lord will allow the multitude to be brutally punished as a form of chastisement to bring them back to Christ or for past sins. Not to mention a fabricated assumption at best that the group known as the multitude only consists of Christians anyway! It should be made clear that there is a difference between punishing violently a group of people and the statement the Lord chastens those whom he loves. The Lord can get the attention of people in many different ways. For example, in Revelation 8 and 9 we read of the destruction caused by the trumpet judgements. This would be a real good way to get the attention of the multitudes on the planet dwelling in the valley of decision! There is no evidence that anyone needs to be physically punished anymore than what is coming during from Tribulation judgements! Yes many do not repent of their sins during the tribulation, but that does NOT mean that multitudes of multitudes of scared individuals from all walks of life will not seek that precious covering under Jesus Christ during the time of the Great Tribulation! That covering under his protective wings. And those that truly seek HIS covering shall find it and be saved! And the fallen angels will not stop it, in fact the trumpet judgements brought against them will contribute to the redemption of many to Christ!
Here are two witnesses in scripture that speak about the multitude. First we read in Mathew 12:15 … when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all. Next in Mat. 14:14 Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. In fact when we read about the multitude in scripture in reference to the masses who need Jesus Christ we see nothing but positive things! All over the NT Jesus teaches the multitude, he has compassion on them, he heals their sick, he takes time to speak to them. He feeds them both literally and spiritually. So where is there any sign of the multitude being punished for any of their past iniquity? There is no shred of evidence for such as it does not exist and no shred of evidence that such a policy of merciless punishment would be implemented during the Great Tribulation! The Lord wanting his people punished after they have turned to Christ is a fabrication in the minds of unstable liars.
Also concerning the multitude that Jesus taught we make one additional observation. When these multitudes of people came to him there is no indication that they were only people who were schooled in the Law and or Israelites! In fact, Jesus got himself in trouble with the religious leaders for helping people outside of the established faith!
In the New Testament when Jesus taught the multitude; scripture does not indicate that it is anything but a bunch of people from all walks of life. So herein we see that by definition in the New Testament a multitude can mean anybody at all. As we know from the experience of the saints speaking different languages; a variety of cultures were taught about Christ and believed; these were among the multitude that had no previous association with the God of Israel. So the definition of multitude is certainly not limited to only church people, it can be anybody as seen from literary evidence in the New Testament.
Let’s examine one more example of kind treatment by Jesus towards someone from among a multitude of people, this one on a more personnel level. Remember Mary Magdalene? The one whom the Lord cast out seven devils. Mary was very fond of Jesus, she treated him well and loved him very much. Do we suppose that this reaction from Mary was because Jesus condemned or punished her for her past actions of adultery seen in John 8:1-11? Of course not! Jesus healed and forgave wholly and completely with no strings attached. In Mary Magdalene we see a similitude of the attitude of Christ towards all of his people; an attitude of nothing but kindness AND a covering from our Lord and Savior towards a repentant sinner. Any individual saying that the Most High God’s salvation comes with strings attached and thus his children need some sort of post salvation punishment are lliars, whores and adulterers; ignorant self proclaimed prophets who are nothing more than brute beasts whose so called ministries are fit for destruction.
Here is an interesting observation concerning the Garden of Eden and the covering that Adam and Eve once enjoyed! Genesis 3:11 says: "Who told thee thou wast naked?" Here we see that eating of the tree was one thing, disobedience. But finding out that they were naked, (in need of a covering), was then told to them by the serpent. First he beguiled Eve and then after she ate and was disobedient, the serpent pronounced to them their lack of covering (nakedness). There was no covering required before the disobedience because they were hid in God. Disobedience removed them from their place in HIM so now they would need a covering. Notice the first thing God says to Adam is "who told you", and then he makes the statement about how they ate of the tree. In other words the Lord was more concerned that someone told them they were naked and needed a covering than anything else! That's what the most High God addresses first! Why? Apparently this covering in the garden was an extremely important thing and it appears that it is the thing that the fallen angels hated. Adam and Eve were naked, they did not care and were not concerned about it as they were covered in the Lord. A covering of similar nature will once again be re-established via the covering wings of the saints of the Most High God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.
One verse that is touted as showing how the multitude are punished is found in Revelation 20:2-4 wherein it states: 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. This verse does indicate that certain people are beheaded during the time of the Great Tribulation. However, there is absolutely NO evidence that it is because of some supposed punishment by God or one has to lose their head to be saved, that is ridiculous! This simply assumes facts not in evidence, a classic maneuver by Satan and his hirelings.
One final fact to consider is the word "elect" in scripture. Let’s look at some verses.
Mathew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his ELECT (eklektos) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Mat. 24: 22 And except those days should be shortened (4th trumpet. Rev. 8), there should no flesh be saved: but for the ELECT’S sake those days shall be shortened….
Revelation 17:12-17 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen (EKLEKTOS—same Greek word for ELECT), and faithful.
In the aforementioned verses we see that Jesus is gathering his elect after the tribulation is over (Mat. 24:31…) and in Mat 24:22 it is made clear that the 4 trumpet is to HELP God’s elect, to help God’s people! The 4th trumpet is to help the Lord’s people and not some fabricated garbage about killing a third of the church. In Rev. 8:12 we see that the judgement against artemis (moon) and apollo (sun) is used to help his ELECT via shortening the days! Next we read in Rev 17:14 that the ones that are with Christ are his ELECT. What is important to see in these verses is that it is clear that the beast makes war with the Lamb AND his ELECT. So here we see that the MULTITUDE are called ELECT. Once again, the multitude are not some beaten down punished people at the hands of the Lord, they are helped and ELECT. The multitude are covered and Jesus is coming for all of them.
So to sum up; the multitude of people crying out to the one and only true Jesus Christ during the time of the Great Tribulation are covered and saved and nothing will stop it.
When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. Deuteronomy 4:20.
Rev. 20:10

·The Son of Perdition
New Understanding from Mikhael Taube and his Friends
In previous articles on this web-site we have spoken about Apollo as Lucifer. The article "The Beasts of Revelation" is recommended reading for this revealing..
In II Thessalonians 2:1-9 we read: " Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That yea be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember yea not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now yea know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,….."
What is made clear from these previous verses is that before the Lord’s people are "gathered together unto HIM (Jesus)" there are two events that must occur. First, there would be a great falling away or "apostasia"(verse 3). Anyone would have to completely blind not to see that the Christian churches and Christian Ministries are completely out of touch with the Spirit of the Most High God. Second that the "son of perdition" would be revealed.
Modern scholars are making erroneous assumptions as to who this "son of perdition" may be. This individual man known in our common vernacular as the "Anti-Christ" is presumed to be the son of perdition.
(http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/4186/Arthur/htmlpages/kingarthur.html ).
I believe this identification of the Anti-Christ as the son of perdition is true on one layer, but what is important to recognize is that there is a SPECIFIC spirit behind the Anti-Christ and that is who we are searching for here.
The following paragraph is an excerpt from the article "The Beasts of Revelation":
"Apollo is also the beast in Revelation 17:8. Wherein is stated that the beast "was, and is not and is" and goeth into perdition. The Greek name for perdition is apoleia. In Rev. 9:11 the Greek for Apollyon is "destroyer" and the Greek word apoleia not only means perdition but also destruction as seen in Mathew 17:3. These are two interesting etymological references pointing to the identity of Apollo as the beast. Apollo seen as the eighth would be another topic; he being associated with the sun could indicate a period of seven or eight "suns". Considering that Apollo is the beast we can also make an association that the beast out of the bottomless pit that kills the two witnesses in Revelation 11:7 is also Apollo. Keep in mind that the King over the bottomless pit in Rev. 9:11 is Apollyon and he is called a Beast out of the bottomless pit in Revelation 11:7! Thus we start to see how this all makes sense and fits so well into other scriptures in seeing the beast as Apollo and not the Dragon".
Notice here that the word perdition is "apoleia", also notice the connection between Apollo as not only the beast but also the strong etymological connection with Apollo and the word "perdition"! There are other articles on this site about Apollo, showing that he is also known as Lucifer. Apollo is Lucifer, not Satan. What we know about Apollo/Lucifer is that he is associated with "the dawn" (Isaiah 14) and that he attempts to be LIKE THE MOST HIGH as seen in Isaiah 14:13-14. Notice the similar language of these verses in Isaiah and II Thess 2:9 in the context of attempting to be like the most high.
A thorough study of apollyian mythology strongly suggests that Apollo is associated with the Sun as he is often called a type of Sun god. Apollo is seen associated with the sun because it would seem he was originally created to be a similitude of THE SON of the Most High God. A Christ Like figure. Evidence suggests that Apollo and Artemis were once "married" and where originally created by the most High God to be a similitude of the Bridegroom and Bride that we see mentioned so often in scripture. To put it another way Apollo and Artemis were created to be represent a powerful likeness of Christ and his Church, until of course they rebelled. What this information tells us is that at one time before their fall the Lord’s once Holy creation, Apollo, was a Christ like Figure. One could say that Apollo was originally "created in the Image of Jesus" and Artemis was created in the image of the Holy Spirit as it appears that Apollo’s bride, Artemis, was a similitude of the Holy Ghost. Of course, post rebellion they are anything but this.
The picture we get from the evidence of Apollo as Lucifer, the light bearer, is that he was created as a type of son and in him this quality was once represented as the brightness of a sun. The article on this site: "The Seven Heads in Revelation are Still Not Seven Consecutive Leaders" is useful information for this subject of Apollo, the sun and Lucifer.
It becomes clear from many pieces of evidence that the "Son of Perdition" in II Thess. 2 is Apollo. Or put another way the specific spirit that is driving the Anti-Christ is Apollo. Apollo is the son of perdition, the man of sin to be revealed in II Thessalonians 2:3. Apollo, once a Christ like figure, now in the end is reduced to the pathetic miserable role of "Anti-Christ".
The man known as the Anti-Christ is an image of the fallen angel Apollo. Other references on this site make it clear that Apollo is also the "beast" in Revelation 13. Thus the Anti-Christ as the image of Apollo also becomes the Anti-Christ as the image of the beast! Revelation 20:10.

·Mardi Gras, Carnival Goers Feel Call Of Dionysus
As originally published at Raider News Update by Thomas Horn
Despite uncertainty or maybe even because of it, cities around the world prepare for Mardi Gras.
RNU.com – (Raiders News Update) - The Associated Press reported this week that Louisiana's battered residents are putting their "months of heartache, frustration and anger on parade, in effigies, blue-tarp trailers and themes like 'Fridge Over Troubled Water,'" and giving themselves the first of many desperately needed Mardi Gras laughs.
Mardi Gras has long been an occasion for the city to laugh at tragedy and aim barbs at authorities, the AP said, "and given all the pain New Orleans has suffered in the past year the irreverence should reach new heights this season."
This year there is a particular edge in the Big Easy as clubs that historically staged Mardi Gras parades "are targeting Hurricane Katrina and the politicians they blame for the chaotic response to the catastrophe."
Does this mean, perverts beware!? Are the topless muses and nude dancers giving way to more political caricatures as masked revelers stumble home following dusk-to-dawn parties?

·Commentary on "Call Of Dionysus"
Commentary on Call Of Dionysus by Michael Taube & Friends
The highlights of this vulgar article uncover a concept of the perversion of the fallen angels. Specifically we are looking at the abominable stupidity of that whore Artemis, and also Apollo and Satan. This unholy trinity is spoken of in other articles on this site.
In this article we read the following: "The uninhibited rituals of ecstasy (Greek for "outside the body") employed wine, abandon, and perversion to bring the followers of Dionysus into a supernatural condition which enabled them to escape the temporary limitations of the body and mind and to achieve a state of enthousiasmos -- outside the body and inside the god.". This statement makes it clear what the intended outcome is of this form of perversion; the goal here is to be "inside the god". Herein is found of one the biggest perversions of the fallen angels.
What is occurring in the previous article is a description of WHY the fallen angels do what they do. WHY we see so much perversion and unhealthy relationships in society today. It is the result of what appears to be the one main goal of the fallen angels: to "feed" off the sexual perversion of the world by making the perversion "one" with them. Like a parasite sucking blood of it’s host.
Scripture says the following about the difference between an unhealthy relationship (read whoredoms) and the HEALTHY relationship given by the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Joseph: I Corinthians 6:15-17 "Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit".
We see in this verse that when an individual is joined to a harlot (like artemis) that they become one flesh, similar to the "flesh covenant" between husband and wife. So the individual becomes one in body and also it would appear in spirit with the whore. BUT He that is joined unto the LORD IS ONE SPIRIT not one flesh. This joining with the Lord is a very profound and intimate joining. This is made clear in a number of verses in the Old Testament wherein it is stated that the Lord is married unto his people and thus why the Lord says that Israel commits whoredomes when she sins.
The Lord makes it CLEAR that he likens the relationship between him and his people as that of marriage of a man and women and the intimacy that goes along with such a union. We see this once again with Christ as the Bridegroom spoken of so many times in scripture. Thus making it clear that those truly in Christ Jesus experience a "oneness" with the Lord as a profound spiritual experience. The Lord considers your relationship with him to be a type of spiritually married intimacy. Hence why the emphasis in scripture on a personnel relationship with Jesus Christ! The Lord of heaven and earth is NOT an impersonal "energy force" in the skies. The Lord desires a truly intimate relationship with his people and that is made so clear from scripture!
With this understanding we can see what the fallen angels are attempting in the aforementioned article. What we see here is a description of the so-called god of wine
Dionysus or Bacchus. This individual is actually Apollo also known as Lucifer (the article says that Satan is Lucifer, but that is not correct). Apparently before their pathetic fall from glory the angel Apollo was somehow associated with wine. But in their hideous fallen state the intimacy that the Lord once intended has been perverted and twisted to an unrecognizable hell of complete insane filth. In these "sex" rituals that the men and women of Greece partook in it is clear that they are trying to make themselves "one" with the fallen angel Apollo. The partakers of this insanity may have no idea what they are really doing, but that will prove to be NO excuse on judgement day.
In Isaiah 14:14 we see an attempt by Apollo (Lucifer) to be "like the most high". As shown before; the most high God has a level of intimacy with his people that is similar to a husband wife relationship. And in the article we see here that the fallen angels attempt to mimic this level of intimacy in a completely twisted hellish fashion. This whole act of reckless abandonment to the depths of hell is a pathetic display of unimaginable arrogant audacity of unthinkable and disgusting proportions.

·The Beasts of Revelation
Part III Commentary on The Seven Heads of Revelation 13 & 17 by Michael Taube & His Friends - January 3rd, 2006
On this web-site we have put up the audio for a previous work concerning what we call the "Unholy Trinity" and they are recommended listening for this essay. Also, please see the essay: "Third and Fifth Trumpets" for a background on the topic of the fallen angels. On those radio programs myself and Brooke Stant made it clear that the unholy trinity is made up of Satan, Apollo and Artemus. It is relevant because the "beast" described in various verses in Revelation IS actually Apollo, also known as Lucifer. Apollo is Lucifer. Satan is not Lucifer as most commentaries seem to indicate. Apollo is the beast that is being described in Revelation 13:1-2. Apollo is actually the beast not Satan.
Upon close scrutiny it would seem the Dragon (Satan) is never associated as being the "beast". In Revelation 12:3 we see the dragon as having Seven Heads and Ten Horns and it is assumed to be the same as the Beast with Seven Heads and Ten Horns in Rev. 13:1-2. But I do not think this is the case. In Rev 12:3 the Dragon has Seven Heads and Ten horns with seven crowns upon the heads. In Rev. 13:1 we see a beast that has Seven Heads and ten horns, but no indication of having Crowns on the heads. Instead this beast has Crowns that are upon the Horns and the Heads now have the "name of Blasphemy"!
From Revelation 12:9 we know for sure that the Dragon IS Satan. So there is a bit of a mystery going on with the subtle yet significant difference between Heads and Horns and Dragon and Beast as compared in Revelation 12:3 and 13:1. Of further note is that in Rev. 17:12 we see that the ten horns have "received no kingdom as yet". This would give the impression that these ten horns/kings have NO crowns. Is this a reference to the Dragon in Rev. 12:3? This is very complicated and takes time to unravel. Nonetheless if one looks closely, the Beast is never positively associated as being the Dragon. Another piece of evidence to underscore this fact is seen in Rev. 13:2 wherein the dragon is specifically seen as giving "HIS power, and his seat, and great authority" TO the seven head ten horned beast! A clear indication here that the Dragon and the beast are separate entities. It would appear that BOTH have some sort of "Seven Head Ten Horn" characteristic. So in Revelation 13:1-2 we see what appears to be some sort of power transfer going on from Dragon to Beast. This could be what Daniel refers to as "a diverse fourth kingdom" in chapter 7 of that book.
Apollo is also the beast in Revelation 17:8. Wherein is stated that the beast "was, and is not and is" and goeth into perdition. The Greek name for perdition is apoleia. In Rev. 9:11 the Greek for Apollyon is "destroyer" and the Greek word apoleia not only means perdition but also destruction as seen in Mathew 17:3. These are two interesting etymological references pointing to the identity of Apollo as the beast. Apollo seen as the eighth would be another topic; he being associated with the sun could indicate a period of seven or eight "suns". Considering that Apollo is the beast we can also make an association that the beast out of the bottomless pit that kills the two witnesses in Revelation 11:7 is also Apollo. Keep in mind that the King over the bottomless pit in Rev. 9:11 is Apollyon and he is called a Beast out of the bottomless pit in Revelation 11:7! Thus we start to see how this all makes sense and fits so well into other scriptures in seeing the beast as Apollo and not the Dragon.
Brooke Stant and I reference Artemis as being the "brother" of Apollo. Artemis IS the WHORE that rides the beast in Rev. 17:7! What I am describing here is that Artemis rides Apollo. So there is some sort of dysfunctional relationship between Apollo and Artemis to say the least! No wonder, as they are all fallen angels. This is most certainly not a Godly brotherly love! Consider also the following: The Ten Horned Apollo Beast carries the whore. Yet later we see in Revelation 17:16 that the 10 Kings (horns), which we now know are a construct of the Apollo Beast, HATE the whore and burn her with Fire. So in the end even these fallen angels turn on each other.
Artemis, Apollo, and Satan make up the fallen angel Unholy Trinity. It would appear they seem to be the "top" three of that dung heap as far as the fallen angel hierarchy goes. They are the top leaders of 144,000 fallen angels by this author’s reckoning. 144,000 fallen angels WHO HAVE BEEN REPLACED by a chosen group of 144,000 saints of the Most High God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. See various passages in Revelation for reference to the 144,000 saints of the most high God. THAT is where you should get your information on the 144,000 saints.
With this understanding of the Unholy Trinity and the identity of the beast we may now come to some groundbreaking conclusions. First, we have further evidence for this Unholy Trinity in Revelation 16:13 wherein it is stated: "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet". This is very telling in light of our new understanding. Here we have the description of the Unholy Trinity! The Dragon, the beast and the False Prophet. The Dragon of course being Satan, the beast being Apollo and by simple process of elimination the False prophet being Artemis.
We are not saying that THE False Prophet that rises up will be the actuall entity Artemis. It is a bit unclear how this will play out. If there is a man (and I think there will be) who is the False Prophet then he would simply be filled totally with the spirit of Artemis. The same for the Anti-Christ, but this spirit here would be Apollo. I believe that eventually the Anti-Christ and False Prophet will be individual men, but what is MOST important for understanding is actually who is behind the whole thing. This really makes the rest of the puzzle fall into place. By this aforementioned process of elimination, in Rev. 16 we now see that Artemus is the spirit behind false prophets. We can see that this FEMALE TYPE Entity is the spirit behind all false churches! Hence, for example, MARY in the Catholic Church IS ARTEMIS. The spirit behind the mainstream Christian Churches is Artemis! It is this "female" entity that appears to be the driving spirit behind false doctrine; false doctrine such as an erroneous belief in the identity of the seven heads in Rev. 13:1. Satan and Artemis working closely together, to bring about the desired deception in the churches. The fallen angel Artemis is NOT necessarily a "woman". In other words the goddess deity is probably a "male" angel, but of course their fall has brought about all sorts of disgusting perversion. Artemis may simply now be some sort of ultimate "drag queen" as in the "queen of heaven" spoken of in Jeremiah chapters 7 and 44. Or Artemis could be in the submissive role to Satan and Apollo hence seen as a "woman/sister" to Apollo.
Artemis as THE goddess of the world is shown with absolute certainty in Acts 19:24-35 where Diana of Ephesus is ARTEMIS! The strong’s word here is number 735 and it is Artemis. The apostle is actually talking about this entity. Notice in these passages it is stated that the whole world whorships her. So "she" as a goddess type false prophet was working on a global scale back then!
In Revelation 13:11 we see another beast that comes up out of the earth having two horns. This would then be Artemis. Most see these verses as a description of the False Prophet. In the Old Testament there is an association with the goddess Ashteroth having two horns. This can be found in Genesis 14:5 where we read: "And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim". Here the phrase "Ashteroth Karnaim" is strong’s number 6255 and means Ashteroth of the double horns. In addition, in the audio we show that Ashteroth is also Artemis. So the goddess Artemis is seen as having two horns. Notice this beast in Revelation 13:11 has all the power of the first beast and is seen as working with the first beast. Again this is the Artemis, Apollo relationship.
As further evidence we go back to Acts 19 where we read that Artemis is worshipped by the whole world. Note here that the entire world did not simply call her Diana, they all have different names for the SAME goddess. Mary would be another common one by today’s vernacular. Artemis is also associated with the Crescent moon. Here we see the association of the goddess and false prophets in major religions of the world represented by the Crescent moon in one form or another. So we can conclude that when we read about these beasts in Revelation 13 that we are looking at Apollo and a second beast Artemis. The second beast works closely with the first beast. Obviously there are several other references to beasts in Revelation that are not associated with rebellious entities such as the beasts with the 24 elders and the beasts seen in Revelation 6.
