April 2011 ~ LUF

No, the title of this post isn't the beginning of some corny joke. This is no laughing matter. It could be -- and I stress the words "could be" -- very serious.

I've been working on this post here and there for months now. There are so many threads that it's been nearly impossible trying to tie them all together into one coherent column.

As "Symbolism Studies" go, this one is pretty deep, and it's a prime example of why I hesitate to publish such pieces nowadays. Let's face it, there are many more important things we could be doing with the time God gives to us (like preaching the Gospel and/or studying His Word to ensure we understand the basics of our faith).

At the same time, this ministry is dedicated to pointing out what seems to be the prophesied signs of the times because that's what we're called to do. That's our goal here today with this subject matter. None of the information I'm going to share with you is "new" per se, but I want to call attention to it now for what will become an obvious reason.

Still, I want to urge caution here. All eschatological studies (especially studies in symbolism like this one) need to be conducted soberly. So, this is also a prime example of why I highly recommend that you READ THIS VERY IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER FIRST before you continue here.

It's funny because even despite all the "Symbolism Studies" performed here over the years, I think you'd all agree that I normally don't like to play "Pin-The-Tail-On-The-Antichrist" around these parts.

Sure, we might call attention this this person or that one, but only as a means of suggesting that we place them on our "spiritual radar" for future reference -- just in case.

Today, I want to take a similar approach and look at a group of men who are no strangers to the "He's The Future Antichrist!" charges. Specifically, I want to look at one of those men in particular and not only because he dominated the news today, but also because he's someone we've never highlighted before in this forum in over 2.5 years worth of research (if you can believe that).

The man of the hour? Of course, I'm referring to Prince William, or the man captivating the world's attention today courtesy of the Royal Wedding.

The key truth to keep in mind throughout a study like this is simple. It's the answer to a basic question: Is Prince William the real deal or another red herring when it comes to discussion about who might be the prophesied Antichrist? If it's the former, then we need to preach the Gospel with an extreme urgency like never before. If it's the latter, then we need to preach the Gospel with an extreme urgency like never before.

Did you catch that? Either way, our response as committed Christians should always be the same. My point is that it doesn't matter if Prince William is destined to become the future Antichrist or not. Our mission is still the same: PREACH THE GOSPEL!

Still, this speculative piece is designed to show you why we have some reason to think that Prince William could be the future Antichrist. Why is this a valid and worthwhile study for us Christians? Because Jesus Himself said that "false Christs" would be a hallmark that heralds the end times (emphasis mine)...

Matthew 24:24 (KJV) For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Mark 13:22 (KJV) For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect.

See, if we can demonstrate to lukewarm Christians (who ignore Bible prophecy completely) and other non-believers (who never see the hand of God working in the world around them) that the "arrival" of Prince William (his growing prominence, popularity, and stature in the world at large) is another clear sign of the times prophesied by God's Word, then perhaps the Lord can use that truth to motivate them appropriately in this late and urgent hour of humanity.

Let's start with the news item that prompted me to begin writing this piece many months ago...

Prince William And Kate Middleton Engaged To Marry In 2011

Prince William and Kate Middleton are engaged and will marry next year, Clarence House announced today.

William, 28, proposed during a holiday in Kenya last month after asking Kate's father for his daughter's hand following a marathon eight-year courtship.

Kate, also 28, had been dubbed 'Waity Katy' amid criticism she was hanging on for a proposal and did not have a proper job but now her wait is finally over.

The couple will appear in public later today, when the Princess-in-waiting is expected to show off her engagement ring. Their first ever interview will be broadcast tonight.

David Cameron said William is 'extremely excited' and 'thrilled' as he appeared outside No10 to welcome the news this lunchtime.

Of course, almost instantly, the world was buzzing over the announcement that Prince William and his longtime, non-royalty girlfriend, Kate Middleton, were engaged to be married with a potential wedding date of Spring 2011 or Summer 2011.

We'll just stop right there. Any time talk of a "Bride" and a "Bridegroom" and a "Wedding Date" and a "Marriage" comes up in these parts, it should evoke thoughts of the types of things we read about often throughout Scripture (emphasis mine)...

-- BRIDE --

Isaiah 49:18 (KJV) Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, [and] come to thee. [As] I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them [on thee], as a bride [doeth].

Isaiah 61:10 (KJV) I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh [himself] with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth [herself] with her jewels.

Isaiah 62:5 (KJV) For [as] a young man marrieth a virgin, [so] shall thy sons marry thee: and [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, [so] shall thy God rejoice over thee.

For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.

Joel 2:16 (KJV) Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

Matthew 22:8 (KJV) Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

Matthew 22:10-12 (KJV) So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Luke 12:36 (KJV) And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

Luke 14:8 (KJV) When thou art bidden of any [man] to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;

-- MARRIAGE --

Exodus 21:10 (KJV) If he take him another [wife]; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

Psalm 78:63 (KJV) The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.

Matthew 22:2 (KJV) The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

Matthew 22:4 (KJV) Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come unto the marriage.

Luke 20:34-35 (KJV) And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

John 2:1 (KJV) And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

1 Corinthians 7:38 (KJV) So then he that giveth [her] in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth [her] not in marriage doeth better.

Hebrews 13:4 (KJV) Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Revelation 19:9 (KJV) And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed [are] they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

In other words, the "Symbolism Junkie" in all of us should be able to pick up on the obvious motifs, right? As always, "on Earth as it is in Heaven" holds true, as does the fact that Satan will ALWAYS do everything he's permitted to that will mimic and mock what God has already done. His insatiable pride guarantees it.

Not surprisingly, there are many prophetic verses that play off of this Bride-Bridegroom-Wedding-Marriage theme. Personally, I think we would be wise to prayerfully consider the potential prophetic and spiritual implications of such a convergence between real-world royalty and heavenly royalty.

To put it another way, if we are to assume that Prince William MIGHT BE -- and, again, I stress the words "MIGHT BE" -- the prophesied "Man of Sin", then isn't it quite telling how just as the Bride of Christ (the body of believers alive today) is starting to feel like her date with destiny and her wedding with her Bridegroom is nearing, we also see possible evidence of Satan attempting to mimic and mock such a coming reality by orchestrating his own Bride-Bridegroom-Wedding event too (as much as the Lord allows him to, of course)? Might the two events mirror one another in the ultimate form of derision, mimicry, and mockery? It certainly seems plausible, doesn't it?

I mean, EVERYWHERE we turn there seems to be a blatant perversion of Christian symbolism associated with this upcoming wedding between William and Kate...

Prince William On A White Horse?

Kate's Face Found On Jelly Bean?

Those are just two of the many recent examples too! It's that last bizarre story that got me thinking about the Roman Catholic Church. Why? Well, far too often, people report seeing an image of the Virgin Mary in a manner very similar to this supposed Kate Middleton sighting in this random piece of candy.

Certainly, that's interesting too. After all, Satan's "signs and lying wonders" (2 Thessalonians 2:9) will be both appealing and pleasing to us at first, right? Yes, they most certainly will and 2 Corinthians 11:14 confirms this to be the case. To put it another way, they will be just like candy to all of our senses. Isn't that something within the context of this case study today?

In any event, what are the odds then that, right on cue, we were treated to a so-called "Virgin Mary Sighting" just a few days ago?

'Virgin Mary' Apparition Seen In Sun In Africa?

You may have asked yourself this already, but is it a coincidence that Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton while on vacation in Africa, or roughly the same place where this latest demonic entity (whether Project Blue Beam induced or not) manifested itself? I'm just asking.

That's not the only Rome related news item I'm afraid. Let's not forget that the late Pope John Paul II is about to be beatified in just a few days too. Worse, one Catholic church in Poland is even using a relic that contains the deceased Pope's blood as a cornerstone of the altar there!

We've touched upon the symbolic significance of that before. We've also explored the Vatican, the Pope, and the Roman Catholic Church in relation to the end times too...

Is This The Antichrist?

It's Tough To Ignore The Pope

The Beast Of Revelation?

Pope: End Times, Jesus' Return Not Close

Pope Calls For New World Financial Order

What Every Catholic (And Christian) Needs To Know

By the way, did you know that Pope John Paul II has been hailed as the "Chief Rabbi" by the Jews of Israel? Me neither.

Oh yeah! We're also gearing up for a big day here in the US. That's because in roughly 72 hours President Obama and Gabrielle Giffords will both be in attendance at NASA's next (and last?) Shuttle Launch, which is said to be the last mission for the Space Shuttle Endeavour.

Have you seen the Mission Patch or do you know anything about this particular mission itself? No? Allow me to help...

STS-134 (ISS assembly flight ULF6) is the penultimate voyage of the Space Shuttle. This flight will deliver the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer and an ExPRESS Logistics Carrier to the International Space Station. The mission will also mark the final flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour. Mark E. Kelly will serve as the mission commander. STS-134 was expected to be the final space shuttle mission if STS-135 did not receive funding from Congress; however, in February 2011, NASA stated that STS-135 would fly "regardless" of the funding situation. Changes in the design of the main payload, AMS-02, as well as delays to STS-133 have led to delays in the mission. May 2, 2011 is the current target launch date. The first launch attempt on Friday April 29, was scrubbed at 12:20pm by launch managers due to APU problems with preliminary plans to attempt launch again no sooner than 3 days later. The Launch On Need mission, a contingency mission to rescue a stranded STS-134 crew, would be the STS-335 flight, flown by Atlantis. Kelly's wife, Gabrielle Giffords, is in Florida to view the launch. This is her first trip since moving from Tucson to Houston in January after an attempted assassination. Giffords' appearance at Kennedy Space Center is giving the launch a high profile, "one of the most anticipated in years," according to the New York Times. President Obama visited Kennedy Space Center on April 29, 2011. Despite Friday's scrubbed launch attempt, Obama visited the Kennedy Space Center with plans to visit the Orbiter Processing Facility as well as visit with Giffords.

MISSION EXPERIMENTS: Endeavour will perform four Department of Defense payloads of opportunity: MAUI, SEITI, RAMBO-2, and SIMPLEX. All four of these experiments require engine and thruster firings. They will be completed if there is sufficient propellants on board Endeavour.

The design of the STS-134 crew patch highlights research on the International Space Station (ISS) focusing on the fundamental physics of the universe. On this mission, the crew of Space Shuttle Endeavour will install the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) experiment - a cosmic particle detector that utilizes the first ever superconducting magnet to be flown in space. By studying sub-atomic particles in the background cosmic radiation, and searching for anti-matter and dark-matter, it will help scientists better understand the evolution and properties of our universe. The shape of the patch is inspired by the international atomic symbol, and represents the atom with orbiting electrons around the nucleus. The burst near the center refers to the big-bang theory and the origin of the universe. The Space Shuttle Endeavour and ISS fly together into the sunrise over the limb of Earth, representing the dawn of a new age, understanding the nature of the universe.

AMS To Focus On Invisible Universe

The logo of the AMS shows the anti-universe that the instrument may be able to find. The AMS is designed to decipher the secrets hidden in cosmic rays.

Seriously, could the unusual and loaded symbolism be any more apparent?

Never mind Giffords' miracle recovery, but the mere fact that her and Obama were in the same place at the same time -- all because of NASA -- is curiously suspicious given what we learned a few months ago HERE and HERE, wouldn't you say?

Looking at the event from a purely prophetic perspective, the symbolism of a human being who miraculously survived and recovered from a deadly head wound being attached to such an event should make us all think about these well known verses from Scripture...

Revelation 13:2-18 (KJV) And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.

You know, re-reading that breathtaking passage for the umpteenth time, and in light of current events, I can't help but think about how uncanny it is that the 2 key figures are the "first beast" and "another beast" and today we're highlighting 2 key figures too -- Prince William and Pope John Paul II (3 key figures if you throw President Obama into the mix, which, according to THIS, we probably should). Unreal, huh?

That's not all! Back to the US for a moment. In what has been labeled the largest earthquake drill in American history, the "Great Central U.S. ShakeOut" began today across 11 states. Three million people will participate in a series of earthquake drills aimed at preparing for a large scale earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone.

This comes as many in the alternative media believe that a major earthquake along this zone is imminent and will possibly bring about a Martial Law type scenario in America...

"This week, nearly 3 million people across 11 states are gearing up for the Great Central U.S. Shakeout, a massive earthquake drill to commemorate the 200th anniversary later this year of a series of powerful earthquakes that downed trees and sent waves on the Mississippi River roaring over its banks," reported MSNBC.

Interestingly, The Federal Emergency Agency has scheduled NLE11, an exercise set to simulate a large scale earthquake along the New Madrid Seismic Zone, for May 2011.

National Level Exercise NLE 2011 will be an operations-based exercise centered on the scenario of a catastrophic earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone, encompassing four FEMA Regions (IV, V, VI and VII) and eight Central U.S. Earthquake States: Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee. NLE 2011 will exercise initial incident response and recovery capabilities, to test and validate existing plans, policies and procedures to include the New Madrid Catastrophic Plan (currently under development). NLE 2011 will be conducted in May 2011.

Remember, past NLE exercises have resulted in 70,000 people being evacuated from central Texas. In late January, we reported the fact that FEMA had requested information on the availability of 140 Million Packets of Food, Blankets, and Body Bags. These requests were made specifically for the New Madrid Fault System.

Please bear in mind, our Satanically inspired leaders have to project what they're going to try to do to us in advance, and they seem to think doing so absolves them of "karma" and forces us to be co-creators of what they set in motion. Twisted, isn't it?

PRINCE WILLIAM'S DESTINY: SEALED IN SAPPHIRE?

Sorry, I'm getting a little sidetracked here. If nothing else, please allow these facts to further support the suggestion that because the world is on the brink, investigating a man like Prince William who could be prophetically relevant in the days, weeks, months, years ahead makes perfect sense.

Getting back to the royal news story that caught my eye (and yours too I'm sure), it wasn't until I saw this video about the engagement ring (of all things!) that I felt like I finally needed to explore this thread and the suspicions being murmured by others...

Royal Wedding: Prince William Gives Kate Middleton Diana's Ring

Of all things, why the engagement ring itself resonated with me I couldn't explain at first. However, I thought back to some previous Bible studies we published here and recalled how the Sapphire (the exact same stone that makes up Prince William's engagement ring to his Bride-To-Be Kate Middleton) is DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO LUCIFER based on a specific portion of the text!

The Scriptures clearly tell us in the Book of Ezekiel the following when it comes to Satan in the Garden of Eden...

Ezekiel 28:13 (KJV) You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared.

That wasn't all though. I remembered a column I had written about the Sapphire...

Azure Blue Symbolism Is The Key

What is up with the this color lately? Why has it been so prevalent especially in the political-religious arena? The answer is incredibly simple really. It's the color of Satan!

"Azure" is also said to represent the following:

- Of jewels, the sapphire

- Of heavenly bodies, Jupiter (The planet Jupiter is further associated with the metal tin in traditional Alchemical/Occultistic lore)

It's not that the color "Blue" (or any variation of it like "Azure Blue"; or any other color of the spectrum for that matter) is INHERENTLY evil -- it's not. However, as with all things God created, Satan has perverted it to suit his own twisted schemes. For a more thorough explanation please be sure to read the Comments Section following this piece. Now, let's break those two points down a little to make this case even stronger.

Sapphire
The Sapphire (called "Lapis Lazuli" today), is likened to the Heavens (from this stone is made a color popularly called "lazur") and it's been said that the color signifies Paul. The Hebrew name of "Sappir". The sacred character of this stone was attested by the tradition that the Law given to Moses on the Mount was engraved on tablets of sapphire. This is not the blue sapphire we think of as the faceted gemstone, but instead the rich blue stone now relatively popular in jewelry known as lapis or lapis lazuli. It was well known and often used by the ancients as a blue paint pigment when ground to a powder. Much of what is now sold comes from Afghanistan. An emblem of the Celestial regions and Celestial virtues. Not employed in the decoration of Churches normally. However, in Christian art, the Virgin, Saints, and Angels are often depicted in blue robes. The sapphire was the 5th stone of the rational (Exodus 28:19; 39:13), and represented the tribe of Dan. It is the 7th stone in Ezekiel 28:14 (in the Hebrew text, for it occurs 5th in the Greek text); it is also the second foundation stone of the celestial Jerusalem (Revelation 21:19). The genuine sapphire is a hyaline corindon of a beautiful blue color; it is composed of nearly pure alumina, its color being due to the presence of oxide of iron. The ancients gave the name of sapphire also to our "lapis-lazuli", which is likewise a blue stone, often speckled with shining pyrites which give it the appearance of being sprinkled with gold dust. It is composed of silica, alumina, and alkali; it is an opaque substance easily engraved. Which of these two is referred to in the Bible? Both may be meant, but the lapis-lazuli seems more probable, for as often as its qualities are described, it is spoken of as being easily engraved (Lamentations 4:7; Exodus 28:17; 39:13). Plus, the sapphire was obtained from India presenting another strange connection with Maitreya. There are quite a few prophetic verses in Scripture that mention Sapphire too.

Jupiter
In ancient Roman religion, Jupiter was the chief of the gods. The name "Jupiter" means "the best and greatest" ("Optimus Maximus"). He was identified with the Greek god Zeus and was the god of Rome. Jupiter was the spirit of the sky and worshiped as the god of thunder and lightning, which came up as the subject of a piece last week! During wartime, he was sought to protect in battle and was the "giver of victory". During peacetime, he was the god of justice and morality. He was believed to be present during the giving of oaths and transactions. His temple was on the Capitoline Hill, which we also just looked at! Unreal. Antiochus Epiphanes wished to dedicate to him the temple in Jerusalem (2 Maccabees 6:2). The men of Lystra thought that Barnabas was Jupiter in human form. Plus, see Acts 19:35. Of course, the Holy Bible has so much to say about "idols" like this -- Leviticus 26:1 ; 2 Kings 21:21 ; Ezekiel 22:4 ; Jeremiah 50:2 ; Micah 1:7 ; Ezekiel 6:6 ; Habakkuk 2:18 ; 2 Kings 21:11 ; Ezekiel 18:12 ; 2 Corinthians 6:16 ; Isaiah 19:1 ; Ezekiel 18:6 ; Ezekiel 23:37 ; Ezekiel 30:13 ; Zechariah 13:2 ; 2 Chronicles 15:8 ; Ezekiel 14:7 ; Revelation 2:14 ; 2 Kings 23:24 ; Ezekiel 18:15 ; Psalms 106:38 ; Revelation 2:20 ; Ezekiel 20:8 ; Ezekiel 20:31 ; Isaiah 19:3 ; Ezekiel 44:12 ; 1 Corinthians 10:19 ; Ezekiel 6:9 ; Ezekiel 36:25 ; Romans 2:22 . Plus, Jupiter was in the news back in July 2009 for a "scar" that appeared on her surface.

There's even a non-canonical Biblical connection that needs to be addressed here. The Fallen Angels written about in the Book of Enoch (specifically "Azazel", the Chief Fallen Angel who some even attribute to being Satan himself) were intricately connected to "Alchemy", which also came up here quite prominently in the past month or so.

Interesting, right? But wait there's more.

According to one source...

There was a notion, that the Earth is set on sapphire, and hence, the sky is blue. It is also believed that the Ten Commandments, were written on sapphire. The ancient Egyptians associated sapphire with the 'eye of Horus' (the eye in the sky). It was also popular amongst the Romans, for its beauty. Sapphire was worn by kings, as it was believed to possess the property of wisdom; whereas, priests used it, as it was also said to symbolize purity. Sapphire was used as an antidote for poison and also as a cure for a number of illnesses, in ancient times.

The Sapphire is also the "September Birthstone" (birth, huh? "Birth" was a common theme this week too with the controversy surrounding President Barack Obama's Birth Certificate going mainstream) and it is said to protect the possessor from evil thoughts. In ancient times, Sapphire was used to perceive the future. Hence, to Occultists/New Agers, it is also believed that Sapphire strengthens the power of intuition.

By the way, on a quick side note here, let's assume for just a moment that this speculation and theory is correct (and please note that that's precisely what this is -- my own personal speculation and theory making an educated guess based on the Word of God and the body of evidence that's in the world all around us), and that Prince William is destined to become the prophesied Antichrist with his upcoming real-world wedding holding some kind of prophetic symbolism.

If that's truly the case, then isn't it equally intriguing how a man who will become one of the greatest servants of Satan of all time is slated to marry a commoner? In other words, isn't it something that he's not marrying royalty, but just a "regular chick" in a sense? Might we say that while Prince William (again, assuming that he's the coming Antichrist) is a representative of Satan (the father of this world; the "Counterfeit Bridegroom"; the "Counterfeit Bridegroom Of The Lost, Non-Believing, Sinful, Unrepentant World"), Kate Middleton (being a "commoner" as opposed to "royalty") is a representative of the world at large (the "Counterfeit Bride" to the "Counterfeit Bridegroom"; the lost, non-believing, sinful, unrepentant world) then? I think we could.

Yet, aside from this Sapphire connection and the kinds of thoughts that sprung from it as shared above, there's even more that we might want to prayerfully consider -- just in case.

For instance, soon after the engagement was announced we learned that a definite wedding date had been set -- April 29, 2011. We were also "treated" to several engagement pictures of the happy couple.

Now, it might just be me, but there were three things that immediately stood out to me in those news stories that I think is worthy of our close scrutiny in the context of this speculative piece.

The first is that the date (the month of April) is conspicuous whenever it comes to the global elites because the month of April is annually notorious for some kind high-profile tragedy. We've covered this demonic phenomenon in the past, but it's typically one of the high un-holy months on their calendar.

The second is that those engagement pictures were taken at a St James Palace in London. "Saint James" has come up quite a bit in these parts in various symbolism studies.

The third is that Prince William proposed to Middleton in a remote spot 10,200 feet (3,100 meters) above sea level on Mount Kenya, or Africa's second highest peak.

A CLONED JESUS!?! THE ULTIMATE COUNTERFEIT TO CHRIST!?!

I know this is something that has been explored by many others in the past. Actually, soon I'll be publishing a new book review here on a series of Christian Fiction novels about the end times that were written and published long before the wildly popular Left Behind series even hit the market.

To quickly recap, it's called The Christ Clone Trilogy and it should be required reading for students of Bible prophecy particularly those who are well aware of what's known as "Predictive Programming" (a.k.a. "mass conditioning") via the Arts, Hollywood, and Pop Culture.

Curiously enough, it was written by -- get this -- a former employee of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). End times, CIA, written/published BEFORE the Left Behind book!?! Yeah, if that's not enough to get your pulse racing and your brain firing, then I don't know what will.

All kidding aside, and without giving anything away that the title of the series doesn't already do, the author portrays the coming Antichrist of his fictional plot as being a man who will be cloned from the DNA present on the famous Shroud of Turin! Do I have your attention now? I thought so.

Look, we all know how much more advanced Science and Technology is in the "Black Ops" world of "Secret Societies" and "Shadow Governments" that are all beholden to Satan as his loyal subjects (whether they realize it or not). The point is that it's definitely a plausible scenario even if the world has been led to believe that humans haven't been cloned yet.

Gosh, if we wanted to we could go far off on a tangent right here and explore all the compelling evidence that seems to suggest (not confirm, but seems to suggest) that President Barack Hussein Obama is somehow a clone of an Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh (as incredible as it sounds). But you'll have to investigate that possibility for yourself at another time. Right now, I have to show you something that will blow your mind.

Ok, so why in the world am I even bringing all of this up in an article about the symbolism surrounding Prince William? Well, because of an amazing email I received over a year ago that I just recently remembered while putting the finishing touches on this entry from one sister in Christ who shared the following with me...

Now on to the Shroud of Turin. The fact that you mention this very thing in your email could be an indication that it really is true that satan will possess the cloned body of our Lord (I prayed for clarity about this, because it's so huge). It's just something satan would love to do, just to mock our Lord and His Father in heaven even more. That brings me to Prince William. The info below will show you how much he resembles the face on the shroud of Turin. Remember that satan offered Jesus all the earthly kingdoms if He would only bow to him? Well, I believe, based on many sources on the Internet, that the Windsors and other royals and aristocracy, like Lady Diana's family the Spencers have done just that: sell their soul to satan in exchange for the kingdoms of the earth. I believe the Windsors already offered up Diana in a satanic ritual under the overpass in Paris where a flame or torch is situated. And that Prince William will be offered up to satan as well. He will probably be the next King of Britain, instead of Charles, who supposedly has too many health problems to become King. The info below is astounding to say the least! Again, have a look at Prince William, and how he does not look at all like Charles, or his brother Henry. He starts to look more and more Jewish, actually....... (copy and paste links below into your browser) It's a lengthly email, but I trust it will be helpful.

Apparently, the blood of Jesus Christ was recovered during the Ark of the Covenant dig by Ron Wyatt:

Ron Wyatt's research is said to show that the blood of Jesus has special properties and is alive! Soon the Abomination of Desolation will be revealed when Satan steps into the Holy Temple of God -- (occupies the resurrected/cloned body of Jesus Christ!) and declares himself to be God. He is Antichrist, the cloned image of Jesus Christ!

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 (KJV) 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; 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.

Prince William was born on the Summer Solstice June 21st, 1982 when he was extracted by Cesarean from Princess Diana at a precise time.

In this visual study, Prince William's image is compared to the rendering of the boy Jesus from the Shroud of Turin. With only a slight narrowing of the eyes, the resemblance and structural matchup between the two is striking.

Are there occult symbols in the Royal Navy Emblem on Prince William’s cap?

The crown is like a skull with red eyes, like death emblem/Nazi insignia...
- The anchor looks like a cross with a circle
- The rope is like a snake
- Along the top of the crown are 18 white dots = 6+6+6
- The gold foliage looks like flames
- 6 gold flames on left and 6 gold flames on right
- The very center 2 flames look like bull horns
- The X mark on the crown
- The 3 gold dots = Satanic trinity (Beast System, False Prophet, Antichrist)
- Gray’s head (alien/reptilian) below the crown
- Chalice/Holy Grail below the crown (King “Arthur”/William/Antichrist)
- Emblem positioned over the pineal gland

Additionally, the black silhouette of the center of the hat looks like a headless figure in black; the crown as the lungs, rises up out of flames of fire with the cross circle as the navel and the serpent crawling up the spine, while the anchor looks like the pelvis. The 12 gold flames = 12 chakras. The headless figure is symbolically completed by the Antichrist (William's head) with the pineal-crown chakra located underneath.

The five "I wills" ("Will-i-am") of Isaiah 14:

Isaiah 14:12-15 (KJV) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

2 Thessalonians 2: 3-4 (KJV) and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 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, showing himself that he is God.

What do you think of all that? Again, that was from July 2010, or almost an entire year ago. Fast forward to the present day. To reiterate, what do you think of all that? I'd say it's pretty compelling.

Is Prince William the real deal or another red herring? If it's the former, then we need to preach the Gospel with an extreme urgency like never before. If it's the latter, then we need to preach the Gospel with an extreme urgency like never before.

My point is that it doesn't matter if Prince William is destined to become the future Antichrist or not. This speculative piece is designed to show you why we have reason to think he is. Why is that a valid and worthwhile study for us Christians? Because Jesus Himself said that "false Christs" would be a hallmark that heralds the end times...

Matthew 24:24 (KJV) For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Mark 13:22 (KJV) For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect.

In other words, if we can demonstrate to lukewarm Christians and others that the "arrival" of Prince William (his growing prominence, popularity, and stature in the world at large) is another clear sign of the times prophesied by God's Word, then perhaps the Lord can use that truth to motivate them appropriately in this late and urgent hour of humanity.

Look, I know that the above was a lot to digest. I also know that it seems way too far-fetched to even get your God-given brain to try and prayerfully consider it. Still, LUF has never been a blog that shies away from highlighting such material even at the expense of personal attacks as a result.

My dear friends, I'm not trying to say one way or another in any definitive fashion that Prince William is going to be the actual Antichrist that we read about in the Holy Bible. No, I'm just trying to call attention to that possibility by getting us to look at this body of evidence, use the brain that God gave us, think things through critically, and then ask ourselves "What If?" to the point where it forces us to approach our Lord in prayer about such a scenario. That's it. That's all.

See, the goal isn't about being "right" or "wrong" here. The goal is to get us to view the world around us in such a way that we CONSIDER ALL POSSIBILITIES in light of God's Word and through the prism of prophecy. Why? Why is that something we should even concern ourselves with? Let's read what the Word of God tells us...

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 (KJV) [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Ladies and Gentlemen, given what you just read in the above verse, how is what I've presented here today any less "absurd" or "far-fetched" or "ridiculous" as the types of things many will experience and fall for at the hands of the coming Antichrist and his False Prophet?

So, if we start to open ourselves up to such a possibility as Prince William maybe being the guy who will one day become the "Son of Perdition", then perhaps we won't be so vulnerable or succumb to the tactics used by Satan to deceive millions once Daniel's 70th Week begins. I hope that makes sense.

In the final analysis, I think we would be wise to watch this "rising star" on the world stage named Prince William (some might say that he's "ascending" too) even if you think everything that was presented in this piece is pure garbage because of news headlines like this...

Polls: Brits Want William To Leapfrog Charles As King

So, here we have a royal political figure in which all spiritual roads appear to converge -- Bible prophecy, Egyptian Mystery Cult, Occultism, Satanic worship, and the New Age. Surely, that's not a coincidence. Not in the world we're living in today.

Prince William. The Pope. President Obama. Whomever! In the end, it doesn't matter whether or not one of them becomes the infamous Antichrist. They're all just another clear sign of the times we're living in.

All you need to know after everything you just read is that the British Royal Family should be on your spiritual radar as we sound the alarm for the Body of Christ as committed watchmen on the wall.

Who really knows who the Antichrist is (or who he/it will be). Right now, only our Sovereign Lord knows the true identity of the coming Antichrist. That's good enough for me.

But that doesn't mean we should stop watching and praying about such things. We're called to expose evil wherever we think we encounter it. That's why it's imperative that we keep having our spiritual eyes opened and on the lookout for the "likely candidates", but are always careful to make it clear that WE CAN ONLY SPECULATE and MAKE EDUCATED GUESSES BASED ON WHAT GOD'S WORD TELLS US, and that our analysis and interpretation is not a "Thus sayeth the Lord..." type of pronouncement.

In the final analysis, there are three distinct possibilities here. I led with Prince William and I'll end with Prince William. Either Prince William is the Antichrist, or a "counterfeit Antichrist" (a set-up; a red herring), or just a forerunner who's paving the way for someone else (helping to condition the masses).

I will say that I'm not as "obsessed" with trying to figure out who the Antichrist might be like I was when I was first saved several years ago and first began studying prophecy, but I recognize that this is still an important subject for debate and discussion especially in a forum like this, which is why I decided to write and publish this post.

Folks, there's an INTENSE case of "spiritual convergence" going on this week that should culminate over the course of the next few days: The ongoing Middle East crises, the Royal Wedding, Obama-Giffords-NASA, Pope John Paul II's sainthood.

A Prince, a Pope, a President. The un-holy trinity? Prophetic? Time will tell.

In the days and weeks ahead I believe it's imperative to rest on God's promises like this one...

Luke 21:28 (KJV) And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Keep looking up!
