The False Prophet’s ‘MYSTERY RELIGION’ Began on February 4, 2019 (2019-2026= 7 years)
The “Document on Human Fraternity” blurs the distinction and changes the meaning of fraternity, extending it to the relationships between peoples of different religions, as if Muslims and Christians are “brothers and sisters” praying to the same God.
Roman Catholicism legitimizes prayers to other deities or religious ideals, silencing the prophetic message of Scripture that we either serve the biblical God or idols. It fails to bear witness to the claims of Jesus Christ as the God-man who came to save those who believe in him, and instead changes the meaning of fraternity by stretching it indiscriminately to all humanity, rather than believers in Jesus only. In so doing, the tenets of the biblical faith are trampled on.
This is a further move away from biblical Christianity. Not being anchored in Scripture alone, not being committed to Christ alone, Roman Catholicism is anxious to extend its ever-expanding catholicity (i.e. all-encompassing embracement) in all directions, even those clearly contrary to the basics of the Christian faith.
A style of human fraternity drawn from Francis’ “blasphemous” encyclical Fratelli tutti, which touts a form of brotherhood without God and “religious indifferentism.” Pope Francis said “we urgently need to join together in seeking and promoting the universal values that can guide the growth of this human fraternity.” Seeking to “overturn the doctrine of the Gospel” due to the promotion of equality of religions in a form of “fraternity.”
“That people might be able to open their “minds and hearts to universal human fraternity.” “We are called to confront the challenges of our world in a spirit of responsibility and compassion.” He highlighted issues such as “public health,” seeking peace, fighting “climate change,” and fighting the “virus of inequality,” as well as advocating for an increase in numbers of migrants and more integrated immigration.
Francis has regularly taken opportunities to push this form of human fraternity, most notably alongside the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar and in the 2019 Abu Dhabi document on human fraternity.
Revelation 17:1-9. Mystery Religion in Babylon (NEOM). False religion. NEOM is the great city of many peoples and false (non-Christian) religions that sits on seven (7) mountains which is the center of spiritual humanism, abominations, fornications, blasphemies and filthiness. Religious coexistence and acceptance of all non-Christian religions, the brotherhood, fraternity of cultural inclusivity, secular peace, tolerance, rejection of extremism, religious dialogue, social goals, ecology and salvation by human efforts and agreements. A demonic mix of compromised, false Christianity (Catholicism) with moderate Islam that accepts other false religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Humanism, (‘isms’). Everything but the true worship and acknowledgement of Christ and his offer of salvation through the shedding of his blood on the cross, and his forgiveness of our sins through his death and resurrection. Christ is completely ignored and rejected in the religious soup-from-hell or the mystery religion that is served in the great end-times restaurant known as Babylon (NEOM). False prophet proclaims “ALL religions are willed by God.”
(5) Pope Francis made a stipulation (5) in a private conversation with Kazakhstan’s Bishop Athanasius Schneider, saying (5) that the diversity of religion (5) falls under the “Permissive Will” of (5) God, rather than his Perfect (5) Will, meaning that God only (5) allows false religions to exist (5) rather than actively willing them.

Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever
Seven-fold Description of Mystery Religion Babylon:
- … “And ther came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, sayin unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thess the judgement of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:“ (Rev. 17:1). (Emphasis added).
- … “Wih whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.“ (Rev. 17:2). (Emphasis added).
- … “So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.“ (Rev. 17:3). (Emphasis added).
- … “And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.” (Rev. 17:4). (Emphasis added).
- … “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” (Rev. 17:5). (Emphasis added).
- … “And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.“ (Rev. 17:6). (Emphasis added).
- … “And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee a mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.“ (Rev. 17:7). (Emphasis added).
Commentary: This will be a long commentary, so hang-on and be patient while reading this. Before I start my commentary, it would be helpful to provide a few definitions and explanations regarding the terms used in these analogies and metaphors, and elsewhere in my analysis. Definition of a whore (most everyone will know immediately that this is a sexual reference, however, the term has more meaning than that); someone who is disparaging and offensive, a person who sacrifices personal principles or uses someone or something in a base or unworthy manner. To pursue a faithless, unworthy or idolatrous desire. The origins of old European languages suggest additional definitions; prostitute, harlot, one who desires, adulterers, fornicators, physical filth, slime, moral corruption, sin, bitch – of uncertain origin. These are obviously not kind or enduring words to describe someone (male or female). Bringing this back into context with the above verses in Revelation, just replace “faithful, true, just, holy worship of God and Jesus Christ” with the obiminations, lies, deceit, uncleaness, immorality of false and baseless Mystery Religion Worship in Babylon. The Mystery Religion of Babylon is founded on complete and total evil and deceit.
There is not an ounce of holy worship of God or Christ, whatsoever. It is a rancid porridge or jumbalaya of falsehoods, spiritual deception and idolotry all stirred together into something that is unidentifiable and has a horrible, stenchly smell, in other words, a sickening ‘mystery’. What could it be? A blending of wordwide religions into one stinking, religious cauldron of evil worship; Buddhism, Toasim, Catholicism, Hinduism, False Christianity, Islam, Satanism, Idol (Baal, Sports, Celebrity) Worship, Luxury/Materialism Worship, Worship of Homosexuality, Gaism (earth, environment worship), paganism/witchcraft, ancestry worship, transhumanistic worship, aritificial intelligence worship, cannabis worship, drug worship, where does his end? It’s a ‘mystery.’ An extremely infamous santanist (who I will not name) perhaps summed it up by saying, “Do as thou wilst”. No rules, no moral compass or limits, no self control or love for someone else (love yourself above all else), establish your own definition of truth and reality, ignore anything that threatens your ego or that can knock you off of your self-centered throne. Worship whatever makes you happy and allows you to coexist with your neighbors who are also worshipping strange things. There is no right or wrong, morality or immorality, holy or unholy worship. Relativism run amok. Hey, whatever makes your boat float (using an old figure of speech). You can see where I am going with this…
Therefore, Mystery Religion Babylon is a systematic, fully beast endorsed, satanically inspired, form of religion that allows mankind to worship anything and everyting, EXCEPT God and Jesus Christ. The false prophet makes sure of this, and this is one of his seven (7) forms of abominations. Not only is Mystery Religion Bablyon an unholy trainwreck mess, the false prophet also requires (forcibly), worship of the image of the beast/antichrist. This is virtually identical to the days when Christ had his ministry on earth. The Ceasars in Rome, demanded to be worshipped as God and had statues of themselves placed in many/most of the major cities throughout the Roman empire. Depending on the locality and local customs of an area, Rome also permitted idol and pagan worship, in one form or another. Thus there was an official, government sanctioned form of worship (Ceasar) and allowed forms of worship. In a number of cases, even the Jewish religion was allowed to coexist along with Ceasar worship, paganism, etc. This will undoubtedly be the case during the first 3 ½ years of the Tribulation. The antichrist does allow traditional Jewish rituals for sin atonement in their rebuilt temple, until the midpoint of the Tribulation.
At the mid-point of the Tribulation, the satanically possessed antichrist will cause the “Abomination of Desolution” to occur in the rebuilt Jewish temple. He forces the end of the jewish practice of animal sacrifices for the atonement of their sins and forcibly demands, that they (and the entire worldwide poplulation) worship him and his image exclusively. It becomes obvious that Satan’s plan allowed for the rebuilding of the Jewish temple, so he could put himself in it and demand to be worshipped as God. It is also at this time, that the antichrist literally destroys the woman, or Mystery Religion of Babylon, because she/it served his plan and purposes for the past 3 ½ years. Now, Satan, wants absolutely nothing competing with the world’s worship of him and his image. Since everyone already has his mark, and his mystery religion is dissolved, your worship now exclusively belongs to him. There is no escaping. He baited and switched you, you took the ‘bait, hook, link and sinker.’ He used the false, mystery religious system for his own purposes and gains, and now it is time to discard the old religious system and force complete and total worship directly upon himself. (Rev. 17:16); “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore (mystery religion babylon), and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire”. (emphasis added).
The “great whore”, Mystery Religion Babylon exists all over the earth, on the “sea” of peoples, tongues, nations, kindreds and tribes.” The “kings of the earth” have fallen in love with this false religious system and fully endorse it (perhaps because they maintain their political power and status from the beast/antichrist for endorsing this system of religious worship in their countries). What king is going to say no to the worship of the antichrist’s image in his kingdom? It will come to the point that kings could care less what their citizens worship, as long as the kings maintain their status quo and power from the antichrist. The inhabitants of the earth are ‘drunk’ because of this system. Everyone in this religious system is enjoying the form of their individal worship to excess. As a result, the poison or ‘intoxication’ from excessive false worship makes them stumble and not able to walk straight or on stable ground or truth, spiritually speaking.
“The woman sits on the beast” is clearly understood that the beast’s/antichrist’s ten (10) nation confederacy and political/military empire allows the false system of worship to be carried and spread throughout the worldwide empire. The mystery religion of babylon does not exist, without the support and endorsement by the antichrist AND the false prophet. Remember, the antichrist forces everyone to take his mark, and the false prophet forces worldwide inhabitants to worship the antichrist, and to worship his image. Just as Caeser could not be in every city at evey moment to be worshipped, the antichrist will also have images of himself created and placed throughout the world, so those who have his mark can worship him. “Seven heads, Ten horns”. Eschatalogists have speculated that the seven heads are seven mountains, or a geographically specific area, where the Mystery Religion and physical city of Babylon will exist and be headquartered. The ten horns are believed to be the heads of state, presidents from the countries of the reinvigorated Roman Empire of the European region. They are in political and military alliance with the antichrist and form his base of power.
“Arrayed in purple and scarlet and decked in gold, precious stones and pearls.” Today, we would use the term ‘blinged-out’ to describe someone physically in this manner. The description is symbolic and a metaphor for something religious or spiritual. “Purple and scarlet” are colors of blood, temptation, wine and authority. “Gold, precious stones and pearls”, are metaphors for earthly things of value, luxury or wealth, as opposed to heavenly spritual values and spritual wealth from God and Jesus Christ. “Golden cup of abominations and filthiness of her fornications”, the cup symbolizes holding those things that the world values and is greedily drinking. As long as it tastes good, they will drink it, even if it is utter poison. This compares to the offer of Christ who says to anyone thirsty (spiritually), to drink from the water of life, freely. Christ povides healthy, refreshing water from the river of life! “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Rev. 22:17).
Christ’s Warning about ‘7’ ‘Coexisting or Dialoguing’ with other false religions.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belia [Allah]? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
‘MYSTERY RELIGION BABYLON;’ Interfaith dialogue: Making religion part of Israel’s Middle East peace
A conversation with Rabbi Dr. Yakov Nagen, head of Ohr Torah Stone’s Blickle Institute for Interfaith Dialogue.
By ALAN ROSENBAUM Published: FEBRUARY 4, 2023 13:22 Jerusalem Post
How did Rabbi Dr. Yakov Nagen, an unassuming, boyish-looking 55-year-old Talmudic scholar from Otniel, a small settlement south of Hebron, become involved in interfaith activities, meet with Muslim religious leaders, and travel throughout the world, spreading a message of peace, love and tolerance between Muslims and Jews?
“I love people,” answers Nagen, smiling broadly. “I made an ideology and theology of it.”
After meeting with Nagen for the better part of an hour on a recent Jerusalem morning, I cannot dispute this statement. He sincerely loves humanity.
A love for humanity and a calling for interfaith work
Another important factor in his gravitating to interfaith work was his close friendship with Rabbi Menachem Froman (1945-2013), chief rabbi of Tekoa, who was known for promoting and leading interfaith dialogue between Jews and Arabs.
“One of the great insights of Rabbi Froman,” says Nagen, was: “‘If religion is part of the problem, it has to be part of the solution.’”
Expanding further on religion’s ability to divide or unite, as expressed by his mentor, Nagen says, “If I believe that my religion is a true religion and that my God is a true God, and you are following the false religion or the false god, our identities could set us against each other.
“But if I believe the same God that I believe in, that I love, that I pray to, and I believe loves me, is the same God that loves you – that you are serving and to whom you are praying – this allows us to have a point of connection. Do our identities set us against each other or do our identities connect each other?”
Nagen was born in Manhattan and studied at Yeshiva University, where he received rabbinic ordination in 1993. He made aliyah that same year, studied at Yeshivat Har Etzion, and joined the faculty at the hesder yeshiva in Otniel in 1997. For 25 years, he taught Talmud and Halacha (Jewish law) there. Nagen received his PhD from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and has written six (6) books and numerous articles on Jewish spirituality, Talmud and interfaith relations.
While he still teaches at Otniel on a part-time basis, today Nagen devotes most of his attention to improving interfaith relations. In 2020, he was appointed director of Ohr Torah Stone’s Blickle Institute for Interfaith Dialogue and head of the Beit Midrash for Judaism and Humanity.
As director of the Blickle Institute, Nagen focuses primarily on Jewish-Muslim relations. In his view, there are three concentric views of existential significance: how the State of Israel relates to non-Jewish minorities living in Israel; the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; and Israel’s place in the Middle East.
“For 2,000 years,” says Nagen, “the Jewish people were in a type of survival mode. Part of the reality of being dispersed in the world is building big walls to protect ourselves. At some point, we have to go from survival mode to vision mode.”
Nagen suggests that this shift in emphasis requires that the Jewish people consider its multiple relations with the world. “If Zionism is saying that the Jewish people should take an active role in building our future, and part of the future for the Jewish people is the return to Zion, then part of the vision for the Jewish people is also healing our relations with the world and building partnerships in our religious identities with humanity.”
The Blickle Institute is training individuals who can help bring about changes in Jewish-Muslim relations. Each year, the institute selects a cohort of six (6) men and six (6) women – leading educators and rabbinic figures in the Jewish community – who meet and discuss interfaith issues regularly. In addition, they encounter the Islamic and Christian communities in Israel, as well as other groups.
Says Nagen, “We spend a full day in Kafr Kassem, the birthplace of the Islamic movement. We go into the schools and mosques and meet the leaders. We also spend a full day in Rahat, the largest Muslim Bedouin city, seeing the school, meeting the children and local leaders to get a perspective and understanding of the complexities.”
As part of his duties at the Blickle Center, Nagen delivers lectures throughout the country and networks with other organizations.
The Ohr Torah Stone Beit Midrash for Judaism and Humanity, explains Nagen, develops new thinking and paradigms for developing approaches to relations between Jews and non-Jews.
The beit midrash, which is located at its Mahanayim campus, includes Nagen; Rabbi Sarel Rosenblatt; Dr. Asaf Malach; and Rabbanit Michal Tikochinsky. The first work issued by the beit midrash, And His Name Will Be One – Healing Judaism’s Relations with World Religions, which analyzes the relationship of Judaism to other religions, was published in 2022. The members of the beit midrash are currently preparing a second volume, which will discuss how the State of Israel should relate to non-Jewish minorities living in the country. These two volumes were written in Hebrew, and English-language versions are planned.
For Nagen, the word “healing” in the book’s title had a particular personal significance. Around the time of the book’s release, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage after returning home from a trip abroad. His wife rushed him to Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem’s Ein Kerem, where emergency surgery was performed. Prayers were said on his behalf throughout the Jewish world in Israel and the Diaspora.
Nagen says, “Throughout the world, not only my Jewish brothers and sisters prayed, but my wife reached out to the Muslim and Christian worlds. They rendered a moving and overwhelming response of prayers, which were ultimately accepted.”
Nagen has fully recovered from his illness, and he is seeking to engage with the Muslim world, using religion to unite people. He envisions a type of rapprochement between Judaism and Islam similar to Nostra aetate (“In Our Time”), the 1965 declaration of the Second Vatican Council in Rome, which stated that Jews were not to blame for the death of Jesus, condemned antisemitism, and condemned any Catholic teaching that would encourage those beliefs. Nostra aetate has greatly contributed to the improvement in Jewish-Catholic relations since its issuance.
“My big dream,” says Nagen, “is in the same way that the Catholic Church led to rethinking its relations to Judaism; we need a Jewish-Muslim parallel.”
Rethinking Islam’s relations to Judaism
WHEN NAGEN received an invitation to participate in the Indonesia Religion Forum in Bali, he jumped at the opportunity.
Indonesia is the world’s fourth-largest country and the largest Muslim country in the world. The forum was held in conjunction with the G20 Conference, a major intergovernmental forum comprising 19 countries and the European Union, which was also held in Indonesia two weeks later.
The Indonesia Religion Forum was hosted by Nahdlatul Ulama, an Islamic religious organization in Indonesia that numbers close to 100 million members, together with the Muslim World League, which is based in Saudi Arabia.
Nagen was pleasantly surprised by the friendly reception he received at the conference.
“Indonesia’s motto is ‘Unity within diversity,’ and I felt that they practice what they preach,” he says. “I encountered warmth and friendliness wherever I went. It was unparalleled from what I’ve seen elsewhere.”
Four hundred religious leaders attended the conference, which had a major focus on Islam but also included leaders of other religions. Three Jews were in attendance – Nagen; Prof. Alan Brill, a well-known interfaith scholar; and Rabbi Silvina Chemen, a Conservative female rabbi from Argentina. Nagen was the only person at the conference from Israel. As Israel does not have diplomatic relations with Indonesia, he entered the country with his US passport.
Nagen was asked to suggest a Palestinian participant for the conference, and he recommended his close friend Mohammed Dajani, a peace activist and former professor at Al-Quds University. He is best known for bringing the first group of Palestinian students to visit the museum at Auschwitz in order to better understand the meaning of the Holocaust.
Nagen reports that the dialogue at the conference was sincere and at a high level. “I felt that they were taking real responsibility for problems in their midst, with a real acknowledgment of diversity in the world, which, since it comes from God, we have to learn how to accept.”
He was particularly impressed by the comments of Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Issa, secretary-general of the Muslim World League. He said that people must forgive in order to have tolerance; otherwise, they will hold on to their anger.
Shabbat-observant Jews attending professional conferences held on the Sabbath occasionally encounter awkward moments. Nagen recounts an amusing though ultimately meaningful episode that occurred on Shabbat in Indonesia.
Out of respect, he decided to attend the sessions on Shabbat but kept a low profile. During one of the sessions, which was attended by hundreds of people in a large ballroom, one of the speakers called him to the podium, saying, “Rabbi Nagen, please share our conversation that we had together.”
Nagen had no choice but to take the stage and speak. He shouted his words, as he did not use the microphone because it was Shabbat.
“Shouting my words made a big impression,” he recalls. “One of the Muslim leaders got up and said, ‘I am so moved to see a rabbi on the one hand who is so deeply rooted in tradition but open on the other.’”
What was the subject of the memorable conversation that Nagen had to repeat that Shabbat? He explains:
“What they asked me to say was that when we say that we have to rethink our traditions, I would not use the words ‘to reform’ because ‘reformation’ implies that we are rejecting what we hold sacred. Part of the challenge is re-sourcing, contextualizing and looking with new eyes. These are the tools that we should be using to rethink our traditions, to keep our loyalty and sacred words, but using new eyes and new ears, hearing the voice of God speaking to us to create bridges and connections and mutual respect that we all realize that this is the will of God.”

‘7’ Paul Rolland, Night Watchman, Night Watchman Ministries:
Ezekiel 33:7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
1 Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape
Matthew 24:21. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
*******
One example of a novel reexamination of the tradition can be found in an article by Nagen that recently appeared in the Shabbat supplement of the Hebrew-language Makor Rishon newspaper. In it, Nagen analyzed the approach of Jewish law in permitting the violation of the laws of the Sabbath in order to save the life of a non-Jew.
While Jewish law allows this, most authorities do so under the rubric of eiva, to avoid enmity and hostility from non-Jews.
In a lengthy analysis, Nagen ultimately concludes that the reason it is permitted to violate the Sabbath in order to save the life of a gentile stems from the fact that human life – Jewish or non-Jewish – is equally precious in the eyes of God.
During his visit to Indonesia, Nagen, as a rabbi and as the only Israeli in attendance, was the subject of a significant amount of media attention. Throughout his interviews, he espoused the opinion that Indonesia should join the list of countries that have signed the Abraham Accords. While some feel that signing the Accords would indicate that a country is choosing the Israeli side over the Palestinian side, Nagen says that is not the case.
“We have a conflict, and both sides are suffering,” he says. “Joining the Abraham Accords will help bring an atmosphere of peace that will benefit both sides.”
To prove his point, Nagen mentioned an Emirati friend who visited east Jerusalem after the Accords were signed and convinced UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to make a $25 million donation in support of a Palestinian hospital in east Jerusalem.
Repeating his mantra about religion becoming part of the solution, Nagen adds, “The Abraham Accords are based on shared identity. Religion must be part of the solution, and part of the solution is respecting each other and going back to parts of our shared heritage. Indonesia can play a role in this.”
SOON AFTER returning from Indonesia, Nagen was on the move once again, this time traveling to Rabat, Morocco, for the N7 Initiative in early December. It convened Israeli and Arab experts on education and cultural exchange for the first in a series of conferences aimed at strengthening regional cooperation between Israel and the signatories of the Abraham Accords.
Nagen explains that he was invited to the conference to prepare the interfaith component of the working paper on education and coexistence that was presented to the foreign ministries of the seven countries. He wore a kippah throughout the conference in the streets of Rabat and says that people greeted him warmly from their windows with cries of “Shalom.”
In Morocco, Nagen experienced what he calls his “Martin Luther King I have a dream” moment. After leaving Indonesia with a new-found respect for the country and the brand of Islam practiced there, he addressed those assembled and said, “I have a dream that Morocco can be a place where all sides – Jews and Muslims – will feel comfortable. Perhaps Morocco, in partnership with Indonesia, could be a venue to make a historical breakthrough between Jews and Muslims and experience a historic healing of Jewish-Muslim relations.”
An interfaith reconciliation between Muslims and Jews, adds Nagen, cannot be accomplished only between men. Women also need to be involved.
He points out that women are an integral part of the Blickle Institute, mentioning that Tikochinsky is one of the scholars in the beit midrash, and Rabbanit Devorah Evron is the facilitator of the fellows in the Blickle Institute, half of whom are women.
In Morocco, Sarah Cohen, the adviser to the chief rabbi of the Jewish Council of the Emirates, stated that people always mention the Abraham Accords. Perhaps they should also be called the Sarah and Hagar Accords, she suggested, after the wives of Abraham.
“In the path ahead of us,” says Nagen, “we can’t do it alone. We need the powerful symbols of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael, Sarah and Hagar. With these symbols together, perhaps we can change the world.”
THROUGHOUT OUR interview, one nagging point has been lurking beneath the surface, and Nagen is fully aware of the quandary: How does one reconcile his views of love and harmony with the numerous terrorist attacks by Muslim extremists that have resulted in the deaths of so many Jews, as well as acts of violence perpetrated by Jews against Arabs?
In recent years, Otniel has experienced its share of tragic terrorist attacks. In December 2002, two Palestinians murdered four students on kitchen duty during the Friday night meal at the yeshiva. In January 2016, Dafna Meir, a nurse and mother of six, was murdered in her home by a Palestinian. And in July of that same year, Rabbi Miki Mark, the director of the yeshiva in Otniel, was murdered in a drive-by shooting. Nagen is in charge of the memorial services that are held annually at the yeshiva in Otniel.
At the same time, Nagen has spoken out against acts of violence perpetrated by Jewish vigilantes against Arabs. In 2015, he helped lead a joint Jewish and Arab prayer vigil at Gush Etzion Junction after the Molotov cocktail attack in the Arab village of Duma, which killed 18-month-old Ali Saad Dawabsha and left his parents and brother in critical condition.
Nagen is fully cognizant of the complexities of the issue and says, “I am the last to claim that all reality is rosy. Naivete is when we take a complex reality and see only one dimension. The challenge for Israeli society is a problem of naivete, but the problem is not the naivete of seeing the positive in a complex reality but in seeing the negative. I am responsible to try to push the world in a better direction. The relevant question is: What can I do to help transform the world to take a step to make reality a little bit better? The world is broken and sick. What can we do to help it heal? Realizing that even a little bit is progress.”
Within these complexities, says Nagen, people can’t ignore the negatives and ignore the problems but need to consider the possibilities and the positive outcomes of connecting to others. Otherwise, he says, “we will be in a dead-end situation with no future and no hope.”
Nagen does not discount the realities of the world. “There’s terror in the world, there is antisemitism in the world, there is hatred in the world – all of this is true. But what can we do to change things, to solve the problems? We have to deal with the problems.”
He was moved by the opening words of every session at the conference in Indonesia, when the moderator intoned in three languages, “Welcome. Salaam Aleikum. Shalom.” For Nagen, that shows that the world is deeply interested in the Jewish people.
“Yes, there is a side that has hatred and antisemitism, but part of this obsession with the Jewish people has a positive side. If we feel that we are not part of the world and we can shut them out and everyone is against us, we are missing opportunities.”
As our conversation comes to a close, Nagen mentions that Jacob prepared for meeting his brother Esau in three ways – by praying, readying for war, and preparing a gift as a form of reconciliation.
“He didn’t let his guard down,” says Nagen, but ultimately it was the aspect of reconciliation that led to the moving meeting with Esau. Smiling, he concludes, “I get guidance from my namesake, Yakov.”
Revealing the coming ‘One-World Government’ Leader:
Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and POWER was ‘GIVEN’ him (Prince, Beast, Antichrist) over ALL kindreds, and tongues, and NATIONS.
The Antichrist; ‘A King of Dark Sentences’ (political language, false agreements, deceiving covenants, lies, back-room dealing, deception, intrigue, announcements and deceiving doctrines and programs.)
23 “ And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” (Daniel 8:23-25)
The One World Government Leader Has Power OVER ALL THE NATIONS of the EARTH.
WHO is the Abraham Accords ‘Confirmer,’ the BEAST, the Eighth (8th) King, the ‘ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT LEADER’, the FIRST RIDER OF THE APOCALYPSE who goes to Perdition (Utter Destruction), The LAST CAESAR, PHARAOH or ANTICHRIST?
Revelation 13:2-4
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 [Satan, Allah, Prince of the Power of the Air] which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast [Antichrist, Man-by-Satan ‘MbS’], saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? (Emphasis mine. Discernment mine.)
Five (5) references to ‘beast.’ 5 denotes satanic influence over evil men.
Jesus Identified the Sign of the Antichrist: He is NOT Macron, Biden, Obama, Trump, Putin, Jinping, Gates, Pope Francis or Klaus Schwab. The ‘Beast’ has been identified NOW, and his role changes to the Antichrist 3.5 years into the Tribulation.
Revelation 17:8-11 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
‘Seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.’ = NEOM Babylon sits on the seven (7) tallest mountains in the Midian Mountain range in the Tabuk region of Saudi Arabia. Tallest mountain is Mount Sinai. These mountains are scarlet and purple colored due to volcanic origin and related minerals deposited in rock. NEOM is a $500 (5) billion technological/hedonistic paradise. No mention or acceptance of Christ.
The seven and eight kings are in reference to the genetic lineage (bottomless pit of evil) of the House of Saud. These are ALL the modern kings since the foundation of modern Saudi Arabia.
Proof of the ‘line of’ of the 8 kings.
Kings of Saudi Arabia (1932–present)
1. King Ibn Saud. 9/22/1932 – 11/9/1953. Kingdom founded by conquest. Had six (6) sons that became Kings of the Kingdom. Six (6) is the number of evil man/men. The ground work for this kingdom was being created at the same time as the ground work for the State of Israel. Satan started establishing his ‘chosen people’ (those who worship the dragon and beast) at the same time God was re-establishing his ‘chosen people’ (the Jews) over the 1930’s to late 1940’s. 1 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
2. King Saud. 11/9/1953 – 11/2/1964. 2 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
3. King Faisal. 11/2/1964 – 3/25/1975. 3 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
4. King Khalid. 3/25/1975 – 6/13/1982. 4 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
5. King Fahd. 6/13/1982 – 8/1/2005. 5 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
6. King Abdullah. 8/1/2005 – 1/23/2015. The king ‘that is.’ This is the 6th king revealed by the Holy Spirit to John the Apostle. He is the signpost for the ‘season of the times’ of the latter days, prior to the tribulation. A sign for the evil Gentile nations.

7. King Salman. (King 2015 – ?). 1/23/2015- (2022) This is the 7th and ‘future’ king revealed to John the Apostle who will reign for a ‘short time or while’. If his reign lasts for 7 years, from 2015 on into 2022, it will truly reflect a short reign and denotes God’s divine completion to his plan or purpose for the seven kings, including the seventh king. King Salman is the LAST of the six (6) sons of Ibn Saud to be King of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Is The De Facto King Amid Concerns Over Father’s Health
8. Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. He is the 8th and final ‘future’ king revealed to John the Apostle. He is the ‘beast’, comes from seven (7) kings/lineage before him and goes to perdition. His reign is over the seven (7) years of the tribulation. Born 1985, he will be 35 (7×5) years old in 2020. Seven (7) denotes God’s divine completion to His plan or purpose. Five (5) denotes Satanic influence of men and kings. God’s influence over men in greater than Satan’s influence over men 7>5. Notice that MBS will be the FIRST king who is NOT a direct son of founding King Ibn Saud in 1932. Becoming the 8th king, MBS represents a ‘new epoch’ a ‘new future’ for the kingdom that forms an ideological break from the past. Eight (8) denotes a new beginning, new timeline, new season, new plan. God is addressing the evil status quo of the House of Saud (bottomless pit of evil, wealth, influence, power, corruption) and ushering in the time of great wrath, the tribulation for Gentile nations. From a spiritual perspective, MBS not being one of the six (6) sons of the founding King Ibn Saud, now holds claim to being the son of perdition under the power and influence of the dragon (Satan). MBS has no allegiance to his family tree, tradition, other family princes and historical political protocol. Only an extremely evil, pathological soul manipulated by Satan would turn on his own family. In Satan’s plan, he used the ‘bottomless pit’ of evil House of Saud to raise MBS, the beast, the son of perdition to be in the positions he both currently and in future, will hold. Just as Jesus Christ had an earthly family tree and lineage, Satan used the House of Saud as the earthly family tree, lineage for his son of perdition, the beast, the coming Antichrist.
At the time John the Apostle was in the Holy Spirit and given a ‘vision’ of the future, 5 of the Saudi Kings were already dead (fallen). He was shown the sixth king, and told that a future 7th and 8th king were coming. The sixth king was a ‘sign post’ of the beginning of the ‘end times’ prior to the tribulation. The 7th King ‘short while’ in current King Salman, the last son of founder Saud. Mbs, Mohammed bin Salman is ‘Crown Prince’ and will become the 8th king (goes into perdition). MbS is the ‘Beast’ who rules during the seven (7) year tribulation and great tribulation (last 3.5 year period.) MbS (Beast now), becomes the Antichrist midway during the 7 year tribulation, at the occurrence known as the ‘Abomination of Desolation.’
King Salman brought his son, MBS into the kingdom’s political arena in 2015. 2015-2020 is also a 5 year period of Satanic influence on MBS, as he has grown in power and worldwide influence and stature among not only Western countries, but among ‘Kings of the East’, and those who worship the dragon and the beast throughout Middle East / North African countries (MENA – the ‘many’ Arabic and Islamic countries).
Mohammed bin Salman (named Crown Prince, June 2017). He is referred to scripturally as both a Prince and as a King. This is extremely unique and mentioned for a very real reason. He plays a prophetic role as Prince (when he confirms the false peace covenant among many nations throughout MENA regarding Israel and the Palestinians). Please consider that many, if not all, MENA countries are either Arabic and/or Muslim and are financially and politically beholden to Saudi Arabia in one form or another. Religiously, all these countries are beholden to the House of Saud, because it is the ‘custodian’ of Islam’s ‘holiest’ sites in Saudi Arabia. All Muslims must come for Hajj in Saudi Arabia at some point in their life, if capable (those who worship the dragon and the beast). Satanic influence is woven together and throughout ALL of these counties. They will agree to MBS’ confirmation of the covenant, as Crown Prince. They dare not come against the Crown Prince’s wish and confirmation. Thus, they will abide by his confirmation. They have every reason to accept his confirmation, because of their political, financial and religious vested interests with Saudi Arabia. ‘Who can make war or come against the Beast?’
MBS also plays a prophetic role as Saudi Arabia’s 8th King. This will likely occur before he enters the rebuilt Jewish 3rd Temple and causes the Abomination of Desolation (claims to be god and demands to be worshiped as such). Poor man wants to be rich, rich man wants to be prince, prince wants to be king, king wants to be god and rule everything. As such, MBS will likely be the Saudi’s 8th King once he sets foot in the rebuilt Jewish temple half way through the tribulation. After all, he is already the focus of ‘those who worship the dragon and the beast.’ He now wants the Jews to worship him along with the rest of the world (via the destruction of his previous accommodation and approval of the worshipping of the false mystery religions.) It’s not enough that Satan has deceived almost 2 billion Muslims. He now wants to be worshipped by the rest of the earth by Hindus, Buddhists, et.al. Satan destroys the false ‘mystery religion’ being propagated by the False Prophet, so he can be the only focus of mankind’s worship. These false religions served their satanic purpose by deceiving men and leading men away from Christ, now is time to throw these other false religions into the fire so men are forced to worship Satan, through MBS exclusively.
Hence, MBS’ role will have changed from beast/prince to king to Antichrist at this point. He is indwelt by Satan in order for Satan to satisfy his claim that he will rise to be like the true God and to be worshipped as such. As a spiritual entity, Satan can only possess and indwell a flesh and blood human man. Satan has done everything in his power to raise MBS up through the evil bottomless pit of the House of Saud, to become a Crown Prince, to become a King, and now that Satan has possessed him to become the world-wide Antichrist. At this point, MBS is completely under Satan’s authority and power and ensues to blaspheme God and Jesus Christ.
The timing of when MBS became Crown Prince is known (June 2017). When he becomes king is when his father succumbs the throne to MBS (this could be through death or a short political reign for one reason or another – health?). The actual timing is unimportant, all we are told is that the 7th king’s reign is for a ‘short time or while.’ His term could be 5, 6, 7 or 8 years.
Where else is there a family/political dynasty on earth that has had seven (7) consecutive kings that rule a country from the same genetic line? In the Middle East? During the time of Israel’s rebirth from a valley of dry bones to a budding fig tree? Saudi Arabia’s current 7th king and future 8th king fit the Biblical narratives set forth by the Word of God. 7th and 8th kings from the bottomless pit of evil, money, power, influence, corruption (5 Satanic influences). MBS is prince when he confirms the covenant. MBS becomes an Antichrist when he is worshiped as a mujaddid by Muslims, and then becomes the worldwide Antichrist when he is indwelt by Satan.
The timing of John the Apostle’s vision regarding the 8 Kings from the bottomless pit of the House of Saud – 5 ‘fallen’, 1 ‘is current’, 2 ‘are future’.
Why is this even a topic worth mentioning? What is the point? Is there a point? Yes, there is a point. And it is VERY important, from a prophetic viewpoint. In that, it is a ‘viewing point’ of the latter days, leading up to the tribulation. How so?
First, as Christians, we know that the Triune God gave John the Apostle a vision and knowledge of many things pertaining to the days leading up to and into the tribulation and after. The Holy Spirit carried him into the future, from his particular life in time, to witness things that he then explained in his Revelation of Jesus Christ. One of the visions he was given, while in the Holy Spirit, was of the 5 kings that were fallen, a 6th king he was being shown, and that of a 7th king who had not come (but would rule for a short while at some point in the future). Lastly, he was shown a future and last 8th king known and described as the Beast who would be sent to perdition, udder destruction, the lake of fire and brimstone, the second death … alive.
I have attempted to confirm who the 7th and 8th kings are from our point in space and time, relative to the ‘season of the times.’ What about this mysterious sixth king, the king ‘who is’. Why is this king important that John the Apostle was directly being shown? And what possible prophetic importance can he have? Of the 8 kings, why would God single out this particular man?
Consider that God, through the Holy Spirit, could have shown John any or all of the Kings in future ‘real time’. He was not permitted to see the 7th or 8th kings, but only the sixth. What perhaps was God’s reason for this?
The reign of 6th King Abdullah was from 2005 to 2015. This snapshot of time and space is important because it suggests that this time frame is important for us, for Gentiles alive in the final generation. To know that we are indeed in the ‘final season’ prior to our harpazo/rapture and the onset of the tribulation, without any doubt or hesitation. We know that Israel’s prophetic time clock began in 1948. God’s prophetic time clock for the tribulation of Gentile nations suggests that it started during the time of this sixth king. It is beyond the scope of this letter to go into details about what has occurred throughout the entire earth during the time of the sixth king’s reign. Many prophetic things started being revealed over the 5 year period from 2010 to 2015. The time of the sixth king’s reign is a sign post, a flashing light, a notice of when the final season begins and is upon the earth for Gentiles. God has given signs in scripture and the heavens for Jews, and Gentiles alike. The September 23, 2017 occurrence of the ‘great sign in heaven’ is an example of a sign for the Bride of Christ. The 6th Saudi king is a Gentile and a member of the House of Saud and the bottomless pit of evil. His reign (along with all the other past 5 kings and 2 future kings) has been orchestrated by Satan during the growth of this kingdom and the discovery of its bottomless wealth (oil). To a logical mind, clear and sober, this would indicate that God is saying that the age of grace for all Gentiles on earth is coming to a close. It is not important that we don’t know if God considers 2005 or 2015 to be the beginning of the ‘season of the time before the tribulation.’ Just as God spoke generically about the rebirth of Israel, as when you ‘see the fig tree bearing fruit’, he was referring to a time frame or process developing over time. In His divine plan, things develop and take time to grow until their divine timing is ripe to be revealed. Those who can discern can watch this occur, as it happens in ‘real time’ and understand appropriately and accordingly. As God gave a general timeline for Israel, commencing in 1948, he gives a Gentile timeline commencing in 2015. This of course is BEFORE the arrival of the future 7th and 8th kings who would indicate perhaps the middle and end of the ‘Fall Season’ or Season of the Times’ prior to the rapture/harpazo for the Bride and the onset of the tribulation.’
The 7 year period from 2015 to 2022 does indeed represent a 7 year period denoting God’s divine completion to his plan or purpose for the modern kingship lineage (line of) of Saudi Arabia. Time for the ‘Age of Grace’ has almost ended. As I write this letter, there is exactly only three (3) months remaining in 2019 before the world enters 2020 and a ‘new’ decade. Time is running out before the time begins of God’s great wrath on mankind and Gentile nations. We can know this with certainty by looking at the time frame witnessed by John the Apostle of the 6th king from the House of Saud. Six (6) denotes evil man/men. Seven (7) denotes God’s divine completion to his plan or purpose. Eight (8) denotes new era, new epoch, new season, new time span, new series of events. The 7th Saud King indicates that God is finished with Satan’s status quo in Saudi Arabia and of the evil Gentile world. The 8th Saud King indicates that God is ushering in a new time of tribulation and trial for mankind, Jews and Gentiles. Remember, the seven (7) year tribulation is also referred to as the ‘time or week of Jacob’s trouble.’ A week being seven (7) years and Jacob being a reference to Jews and Israel. God is turning his attention back onto Israel, the redemption of the Jews, wrath towards the Gentile world and arranging the coming Millennial Reign of Christ on Earth.
But how can they call on him (Jesus Christ) to save them unless they believe in him (Jesus Christ)? And how can they believe in him (Jesus Christ) if they have never heard about him (Jesus Christ)? And how can they hear about him (Jesus Christ) unless someone tells them?” —Romans 10:14
