There are not many people on the planet who understand the Biblical prophecy of the 'star' called 'Wormwood' - which occurs in Revelation 8: 10 - 11.
Please do not go down this side-track about the Hebrew word for 'Wormwood' - Revelation was specifically a Greek text and the person to whom it is attributed was situated on the Greek island of Patmos at the time the text was composed.
In the original text the word was 'Apsinthos' which does indeed refer to a bitter herb, but even so, there are a number of parallel names for that plant which also have parallel peculiar meanings.
This is interesting, it is not 'bizarre.' It is not natural, but it is normal in the way humans mess around with their reality.
So I will tell you that the prophecy was for today, our times - and consequently, the word is 'Wormwood;' which is an English word not, as most people suppose, taken from the idea of a wood that has something to do with little creatures, but from a German phrase (wermut) which means to preserve the mind, or hold/contain the mind.
'Star' in all events, in Bible idiom is always taken to mean a spiritual force, sometimes angelic, though sometimes Satanic.
'Water' is the substance of life.
The original Esoterica of Solomon referred to another Greek occult concept: hygromancy - the study of the mystical properties of moisture, mists, and clouds.
There are no copies of this work around today that detail anything about actual hygromancy, and instead what is always taken as the occult book called the Key of Solomon, although it is prefaced with the specific word 'hygromancy,' has nothing at all in it about hygromancy.
Anyway, it is quite interesting to observe that in the Wikipedia entry about the 'Wormwood' prophecy, there occurs in there a short paragraph under the section supposedly referencing Swedenborgian spiritual interpretations, which says:
'The star signifies self-derived intelligence which departs from God...'
Now I don't know whether Swedenborg himself ever said any such thing, but I do know the statement is correct.
Humans are always modifying the wild with their own installations of things. Habitat, for example.
We are living in a moment, in which 'someone' - or some agency and force across the leaders' mindset - is making people venture into what they are terming 'AI' and indeed with the view to being able to transfer your mind into a computer and thereby have 'it' 'live on' for, well, pretty much forever or into the very far distant horizon of time in the future.
An Islamic Dawah Team guy just the other day posed this question that in his mind was either rhetorical or ludicrous, really, and his tone was one if not of actual sarcasm as such, then of rendering the sense of its apparent absurdity in his own mind.
The question he posed was - 'What is the point of Jesus, who you say is God, coming down and being dependent on someone, on someone else, of being a baby and a small child?'
Well, the point of the problem of AI functioning in place of the human intellect, is that it does not need to be dependent on anyone save itself alone.
Alone.
Alone.
Alone.
The bitterness of being alone will kill humans in great numbers.
Of course, the Wikipedia entry is not really 'bizarre' to me, because I know why it is there and so do you.
They are ahead of 'us.'
This site (this site here, not the Wiki!) is nothing if it is not designed to be about connecting people to more human things, even if they are advanced human-oid things, they are still human ones.
Super advanced beings do not need artificial intelligence. They can make real intelligence from whatever material components they have at hand.
Another person I heard speak this week made the serious mistake of saying that even Platonists would not say one could love the Forms...
The Theory of Forms is about timeless ideas.
Well, I disagree. A 'Form' as he puts it, is in fact the material actuality of a special kind of 'idea;' an eternal idea. It is the very essence and the substance of it, not a representation only, of it. And because it is Eternal, among the Eternal Forms - it must be in relationship with all other things it applies to as the practical idea agency. The 'Forms' are alive. They are very much 'alive' things. It cannot exist 'out in space,' or in 'the Void' with nothing else around it, and then only apprehended quite accidentally by us since we happen to be here with our apprehending minds, albeit that we are accidentally-occurring, 'Evolution' creatures who came from out of Nothing, out of the Big Bang
I will not use this as the opportunity for me to mimic Mansur's tone of abject skepticism about something.
Because there are indeed beings who exist isolated from the real relationships of equals.
Those beings exist in a place called 'Hell.'
They laugh. They scoff.
But they are still alone all the same. And so, it is easy to make them chase the dream of 'AI.'
Slowly, by-and-by in these pages, we will go more obviously into the esoteric tools of 'connection.'
We have been touching the surface thereof lightly.
So -, as the US claims to have arrested in North Dighton, Massachusetts one of the recent 'leakers' of official inside documents showing the abject strategic poverty and moral bankruptcy of Washington and the current iteration of its uniformed global thug cadres - and claims to be homing in on another, or essentially, the actual leak source elsewhere - it should be noted that we reported here on 18 March of this year that Bradley Manning was never the actual source of the vision of illegal bombings in Iraq and Afghanistan by the US military.
If the government of the United States thinks it has even come close to comprehending what is going on it has another thing coming.
Repeat - another thing coming.
I have been at extreme pains to refrain from saying outright what is meant there.
But you will find out soon enough.
And then we can all talk about it as an after-the-fact piece of information that none of us had any privileged access to beforehand.
While people live and breathe they are of course, still living and breathing!
LOL
The official Russian government response to this latest trove of internal analysis about the things various countries are doing in the Ukraine, mostly all illegally as it appears clearly now, not that anyone previously had much doubt of that - well, the Russian response is to suggest that the 'leak' is largely disinformation and a means of softening up the so-called voting public to the realization that the Ukraine has essentially already lost the war there and that Russia is ahead of various 'wild card' potential events and incidents. This of course, in the face of all of the US media talk about the Ukraine 'winning' and/or how badly the Russians have been doing.
I think it would have been too much to highlight the very phrase 'wild card' here but we have talked about it before... And could have raised it again recently but chose not to.
The leak is not disinformation, of course. In fact, the wondrous thing about it to me, is how wrong the US military intel still is regarding the situation in the Ukraine.
I will re-state the figures that I have been stating here for a while - the numbers of Ukraine and foreign mercenary and under-cover soldier deaths is close to 200,000 and rising.
Old growth forest - tall trees. I can see more from in there than in front of all of the computer screens in Fort Bragg.
Not that the sheer numbers of dead people makes any difference to anyone much it seems.
As Donald Trump said earlier this week, we are on the verge of a nuclear war outbreak but I will go much further than that - we are already in the middle of the beginning of chemical and viral weapons episodes sponsored by Washington and there is where I will draw the line about whether or not to play any kind of ball with 'rules' about what to say on-line. That is, once that becomes public knowledge then Chris Wray can go take a flying jump.
As it is the US administrative bureaucracies have got to come to their own internal realization that the young people - who are essentially the only people who can run all of the computers and do the programming for them - have zero trust in the government, and their 'overlords' have no credibility left with them! This is just stating the fact of it. They are only 'overlords' if they can actually get these kids to do what they are demanding - which they evidently cannot any longer.
It is fundamentally to be assumed the case is, that the 'whispers' and the 'word' going around the dark chat rooms, is that anyone at all, who is involved with the arrest of, the detaining of, the threatening of, the jailing of, the anything of including the torture of (which is what happened to Manning), is a dead man walking. Because these millennials will see to it by means that the CIA and the FBI have no control over and mostly, not even any knowledge of.
Where 'Jack Douglas Teixeira' was accused of having sourced the latest top secret leaks from.
Trust me kids, the political world as you knew it is over, and the mess that is the drugged-out streets of San Francisco (and everywhere else similar), is the vision of the worldwide dystopian fantasy of those who are about to procure what is the meting out of utter vengeance by a livid fury.
This is going to go well beyond what in the past was simply some power bloc taking out a hit on someone.
The US government is about to be walked through a living literal Hell and believe me, there is no way back from this. Meaning - Hell is when people do not die; or, do not just die.
The oldies can dream that they will be able to control this but they will not be able to.
Let's face some simple natural facts here though - you will live to see Merrick Garland dead, and Joe Biden dead. And that is just stating a simple fact about all human life. That is not someone threatening someone. We have to envisage what the world is going to look like and be like, beyond the lifetimes of these pathetic morons.
Those guys are 'oldies' and oldies become deadies by-and-by no matter what all else.
And then next what though?
People like me have to deal with the kids coming up. I have to deal with the legacy of youth that the oldies destroyed or attempted to, for their own grandiose delusions about power and because of their own greedy mindsets and lusts for control over everything and everyone. I have to deal with the anger of those young people now become older - after the fools have all left the stage and gone to Hell where they strictly and expressly do belong.
So what is going to be my excuse for not being lumped in with the tribe of * led by fools and literal moral criminals like Garland and Biden and Soros and Roberts and all the rest?
When the noose comes out often the naiive bystanders get hanged with the Robespierres!
You must remember that people such as Ezekiel did not themselves write what is today called 'the Book of Ezekiel.'
This was written by the Great Men of Assembly - The Knesset Ha-Gadol.
There is such a thing today and you know of it: the Knesset.
The ink that Ezekiel uses.
The traditional idea of the 'Men of Assembly' is popularly held to be any of or all the actual great prophets - Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi and so on. In fact it is literally hundreds if not thousands of 'prophets;' meaning anyone who was officiating at the holy tent or the temple or just in the sacred rituals and also who was installed for the particular year as the chief priest.
In other words, in the case of Ezekiel - he witnessed some things, and reported some things, and then a whole bunch of other people who never did, committed something to writing which may contain some direct facts or exact coverage of the actual matters and then they certainly also contained whatever 'council spin' they were going to throw in there.
Later Biblical figures consistently say that the scribes of Israel have lied on numerous occasions or even for that matter, most or all of the time.
What is telling about Ezekiel is that he does not say God or these humanoid people in linen clothing who were taking instructions from God destroyed a large number of people because they 'sinned.' He said it was due to the numerous bad things the whole society was doing, but most especially of all, the violence and war-mongering by the rulers and the leaders and subsequently how that trickled down into the mindset of the people at large.
And he says that even the simplest thought that some people had, which caused them to shake their heads at the general wickedness and evil, was enough for God to have his agents 'mark them on the forehead' which caused them not to be harmed when beings of slaughter went out and killed all the rest.
The coffee that Ezekiel drinks and the news that Ezekiel reads...
Now in the Islamic traditions, there is this famous 'Battle of Badr' which cannot be found in any independent account or in any historical evidence whatsoever, and was only first mentioned in Islamic writings almost two hundred years after the 'battle' itself was said to have taken place. But nonetheless, in this story, five thousand 'angels' are sent out to help counter an opponent army of about a thousand soldiers.
In the Biblical narrative (2 Kings) of the destruction of Sennacherib's army - two hundred thousand soldiers were killed in one night by just one angelic being.
In the situation of what Ezekiel recounted, it was 'six men' (angelic beings flying around) and one of them was just a person taking notes of what was being ordered.
Now another interesting aspect of what Ezekiel had to say is that very specifically, the first of these otherworldly beings he encounters, says to him expressly right at the start that 'the people have said to themselves there is no God, God has departed from us, abandoned us, and we are a law unto ourselves.'
Now you know, if you go to a top restaurant, and they serve you 'Ortiz anchovies,' it will literally be like this (no I kid you not). It's supposed to be served in the tin like you see it here. Usually they add a large pat of highest quality butter alongside and the bread is warm. But that's it.
The Bible taken as a whole goes on past the simple idea that 'Israel' belongs to this God who has some 'beings' of His flying around in bright shiny things with fire and landing wheels and whatever else - and it ends with the concept that the whole entire world belongs to this same God and that He will let it go on for some thousands of years and then suddenly turn up 'like a thief in the night' and visit a lot of carnage on a whole bunch of people alive at that time and even some who 'come out of their graves!'
Leave the Islamic thing aside - that is a pathetic, low-level bit of tribal bickering being described there. What you have on your hands in the larger Biblical narrative is a whole different order of violence and utter destruction.
Will it happen?
Oh yeah absolutely it will.
'Ezekiel' is nothing if not a series of mini Doomsday-Prepping scenarios, in which Ezekiel packs enough food which is laid out beforehand as to how much he should schedule over so-and-so many days ahead.
And right on time, things go according to that schedule, the specific events thereof he really did not know ahead of them actually happening.
One time he is forcibly taken up and dropped off in Babylon somewhere where exiles of his people were, and then another time he is left alone up on a mountain for seven days and he says that he is miserable then and complains quite a bit about his feelings.
We are today on the edge of a great global conflagration involving more than just nuclear weapons - we have one time already, maybe more than just that one recent time and not fully realized it, been taken through biological warfare of quite a sophisticated type which has had lingering problems that will have harmed a lot of people worldwide.
And there is no genuine indication that those running the world, the puppet-masters in Washington and Europe, to say nothing of the saber-rattling of NoKo and the Beijing China people - have other ideas than to run us all into the wall of nuclear disaster and perhaps worse.
They have no 'better' ideas. About anything.
You work, you do as you're told by them and that's all there is about it.
Well okay.
So now I'll tell you the reason I have been going about these themes that are aimed at having you have at least some personal experiences of 'other-worldly' beings that are here.
I'm not sure how successful you have been at attracting anyone's attention from that lot and I will tell you I know they are quite offhanded and verging on the completely dismissive of our simple ordinary human fears and worries.
The elegant machine Ezekiel was flying around in.
At the same time I guarantee that some of you are having an odd positive turn of your own Earthly affairs without actually 'seeing' any obvious external hand in things.
Make no mistake though, we are on the doorstep - the 'threshold,' as Ezekiel says about one of his encounters with a being or a craft and a being in a glowing craft - of utter conflagration all over the whole world.
'Coming events cast their long shadows beforehand' they say and you have seen enough 'natural disaster' events over recent years to at least vaguely have an uneasy sense that if that saying is true, then we are in for some wild times.
As living, sentient, theoretically quite intelligent beings we have to pose the question to ourselves - is ultimate violence the ultimate solution, the 'God solution,' to the harmfulness of ordinary humans and their very very ordinary 'society?'
And what makes God vested in the simplistic and common affairs of men?
That is the question, isn't it and I think we can all afford to grow up about it now.
I think it is a very big mistake to imagine that the so-called powers that be on this Earth are any kinds of powers at all when push comes to shove.
They are mediocre, born losers, self-important, delusional - but that is also psychologically why they grasp the reins all the time. They cannot actually earn such roles and entitlements by natural endeavor and honest accomplishment in open competition with anyone.
An 'ideal' human society is nothing at all like the one in which we all temporarily reside right now today.
You absolutely know that.
Some rich dude's place where he doesn't have to look at the beggars in the street and the homelessness and the drugs everywhere. Human beings today must be all particularly' schizophrenic about 'who' they are, if they among the very wealthy.
Why do you need to actually see it as in the way Ezekiel was taken somewhere to see it, in order to affirm in your own mind that such is the case?
Trust me you need but think it so and there will be a mark in your forehead and it won't be the '666' one either.
Even so, trust me on this too, it is very challenging if you are used to the ways of the world, this world here, to be in, to live in, that one there - the 'ideal' one.
'Seeing' something might give you a buzz for a short time but you will end up with a lot of questions left over and resonating about what you saw.
I have done my best to refrain from using too florid language about coming events.
But they are what they are.
And you know what they are.
Not 'what they are going to be;' what they are.
The truth and the reality is that you cannot be 'wealthy' unless you have a sorted out society in which you live first. You can have material wealth but it will likely be apportioned out for the days that you must survive till the end here.
Why are we living in the moment when we are all 'waiting' for whether or not the US will admit Ukraine is completely defeated (because it is; it has been)? Why? What else might happen to alter that reality?
Why are we on the edge of if or whether someone will send some pathogen into Moscow, or fire something at the Kremlin and then all hell breaks lose? Why have we been taken to that point at all?
IE - friends, the end is already here upon us. There is no logical alternative to the fact as a conclusion, that the rulers have taken us already to a point where it has been revealed they have never cared for the public at all and are doing things for some other reason altogether.
What makes it that there have been no other important issues or causes for political leaders and governments to focus on first, rather than the potential entire destruction of the human race through nuclear war?
How far off was the starting point, to trying to create and establish a valuable and non-disposable human society?
If no Ezekiel, then no you, friend.
Might as well cast yourself into the abyss, if no Ezekiel - that is where they are all going, the rest of them. But yes Ezekiel.
But if Ezekiel then, then trust me, Ezekiel today is some super-advanced and very experienced guy...
Pack your bags.
In a manner of speaking.
There is a bad moon on the rise.
Both are the same music below, one is off-site, that's all -
One has to be more than a little bit conscious of the fact that humans spend most of their time indulging repetitious sloganism promoted by rulers.
The 42 Laws of Maat were encoded and committed to stone monuments around 2925 BC in Egypt - and Moses supposedly was around more than fifteen hundred years later than that.
So what makes his laws all that significant, really?
Continuing the theme of the tent.
Well, nothing.
They were not innovative, and they were certainly not unique.
In the modern Western world, which is dominated by variations of Biblical religious ideas, there are words and slogans which go along with these religious mindsets. One of these is the word 'sin.'
There is no word 'sin' in the original Bible - anywhere. It is the conflating of many different ideas, to jam the breaking of someone's laws - Moses, God's, anyone's - and the Biblical phrase to 'fall short of the standard' together; and then come up with the modern word and its peculiar idea of 'sin/sinning.' To say nothing of the anachronistic introducing of 'God's Laws' into the Bible narrative. Genesis doesn't even say Adam and Eve broke God's commandment and then that was why they got chucked out. They got chucked out for the same reason that Cain was later then out. They were not intrinsically capable of living peaceably in there. That is all.
The concept properly being presented is one of some creature 'falling short' of what would be ideal.
The human physical material being is unstable, and cannot be sustained. That is to say, the individual and their specific physiology cannot be sustained over any actually lengthy duration of 'life;' the individual literally expires, dies at some point.
But more than that, even during the time when people are living together, they actually do things which harm themselves and each other, to the point regularly, that they kill each other. And even sometimes, they simply kill themselves.
The places of the Florentines... Not quite tents.
So there are two crucial specific aspects that 'fall short:' one is the material inability to be sustained fully intact and alive, and the other is that of not even being able to live together at all.
In theory, advances of human technology might see some moment when 'people' are AI-driven simulacra that can be sustained well beyond the ordinary hundred or so years of a natural human life.
But there is absolutely nothing at all which even comes close to being able to resolve the sheer lack of capability of the human being to live without friction in social groups.
There are multiple examples of utilitarian social grouping, be it tribal, or national or some other nomenclature for the thing, but none of these are obviously driven by objectives which are not selfish or material-oriented, or political power based. The standard differences between people's faces, their physiques, and their intellects alone give rise to all sorts of jealousies and eventually, rages and then at last violence and/or mischief and cheating and deprivation of someone's rights in order to advantage someone else. These dynamic forces are of course justified by sociologists and politicians and ideologues but they are not genuinely honest arguments.
Thus, at this Easter time, it is not sufficient for the honest thinking person to simply accept there is any meaning to 'atonement (of sin) by someone's death.'
'French' onion soup was introduced to the French by the Florentine, Catherine de' Medici.
In the very first place because the actual word 'sin' does not exist in the source texts that are attributed to its being the cause of religious concepts about suffering and dying and whatnot.
That some specific key religious figure might have died or not is not relevant to why they should have, critical to the whole ontology of the matter in question.
If you go back to the standard nature of human beings as they obtain in the world, we can look at the case of the Olympic athlete, for instance - they will be at a particular peak of their powers and physique and determination, and achieve some apex of performance; but then, none of them go on to live unearthly endurance of life and limb anyway.
They all decline in ability and health and fitness and then they die.
From the purely materialistic point-of-view, you can only obtain some peak (or peaks) in your life and then that's all there is. Everything else becomes very weak justifications of your ambitions and your actions - 'history will remember,' and so on.
These are fantasies - fantasy beliefs.
What is not a fantasy, is to look at it this way:
As there are two specific matters to resolve in order to genuinely fix the basic flaws of the human being, there were two 'Jesus's' who rose...
Rainbow aura black Tourmaline. Rainbows are more than just the ones you know about.
One was a being with a material body, and the other was a being composed of light, apparently, according to the accounts.
Both of them survived death though, and that is quite key to the whole mindset of this religion - and yet it is not very evident in the practice of the religion anywhere that you will find it today.
You see, a problem about the material physical being that we are well-acquainted with (since we are one of those things) - is that did only the peak phases of the previous person survive? Was this Jesus that people were sticking their hands into the wounds of, the one that was in his best health, not under the weather with say, a cold or something...? Right at the point where the neurons in his brain were firing up the 'Beatitudes?'
What's wrong with being in the condition of say, tiredness, and not wishing to see anyone or engaging wits with them?
Is it fair to say that there are also some troughs in the human life, which are in other ways, and taken from other perspectives, also at the same, peaks?
The Book of Ezekiel gives very clear and specific reports of flying machines and actual physical occupants of those machines - and indeed, Ezekiel himself goes for a ride in one of them.
One of his otherworldly companions says to him, almost as an aside, that humans see and do not see; are blind in a sense. They do not understand what they are seeing.
Personally, as someone who has spent a lifetime training in a Chinese martial art, I do not want to hear from some scrawny-necked ET Alien that it would prove problematic for me and my current physiology to just go for a ride in his thirty foot Tic Tac just like so! But then, what made it possible for Ezekiel to?
Did he have no short-comings? Well, he must have had sufficiently few that they let him in.
And yet you must see first just how complex your life as a human really is.
You might think science knows much - it knows nothing.
Doctors do not treat people's ailments - they indulge them in their preexisting obsessions and compulsive tendencies in order to make money from them. People come back to them again and again to get 'prescriptions' literally for drugs they are addicted to - organically addicted to, often dependent on, and psychologically fully enslaved by. And then by and by, those people die, but not sooner than that they had been replaced by others even more foolish than they were.
To actually examine a patient, to observe and consider their condition, takes far too long for this world today; they must be prescribed something within a defined short time that is recommended by the 'industrial doctor' mindset pharmaceutical companies who are ultimately behind all of medical and pharmacological academia.
...You might think you know things.
That you might know enough to ask for something that you conceive that you want.
As under cover of departing Day
Slunk hunger-sricken Ramazan away,
Once more within the Potter's house alone
I stood, surrounded by the Shapes of Clay.
Said one among them - "Surely not in vain
My Substance from the common Earth was ta'en,
That He who subtly wrought me into Shape
Should stamp me back to shapeless Earth again?"
*
And much as Wine has played the Infidel,
And robb'd me of my Robe of Honour - Well,
I often wonder what the Vintners buy
One-half as precious as the ware they sell.
Who could write but even one verse equal to these??
LOL
In the Book of Yedzakhi-El (Ezekiel), it says that the King of Tyre was in the Garden of Eden.
And, that he thought himself to be a god, because he sat on the throne of a god, in a palatial island in the midst of the seas...
These are not carpets. These are the walls of tents - al khayamiya. Look it up if you don't believe me.
Tyre and Sidon (Ancient Phoenicia) are Atlantis.
Atlantis was the property of the children of a god, whom Plato related that the Egyptian priests who kept the ancient records about, said had lost their sense of Justice and Honour, and were concerned only with themselves and their great power, and filled with hubris and arrogance resulting from their material success.
And as we consider the basis of the 'Garden of Eden,' it is important to explain what the exact meaning is concerning the seven-fold mark of Cain too -, after he committed that murder against his own younger brother. It means that the human being can and regularly will extract seven times the retribution against the commission of merely one act against them.
Thus, it is not possible to force a result against a human, or against a whole group of them, using simple violence.
Of course you would suppose it was not possible to bomb a person seven times more than the one nuclear bomb they had dropped first.
Those humans who are primarily committed to power and material gain above all other things - clearly, as in the story or Cain's murdering of his brother Abel; even above a Supreme Being that Cain, the human, was directly conversant with - use violence for material gain and for power.
But it does not say in the Holy Scriptures anywhere, that those who place the instructions of the Living Deity first shall not have material gain. Far from it.
Humans are adorned as Oriental tents...
It is in order to prevent the unworthy from entering back into the Garden, that the folklore about poverty among the good is allowed to persist.
The 'tent-maker' that was quite a well-known figure back in the Sixties, when people still possessed some culture and learning and were starting to drift into the world of drugs and also the exotic, and typically, the Orientalist vogue - was not someone who (as you might imagine) 'made tents...'
At least certainly not of the kind you will buy from your Outdoors place today.
'Seek You first, the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.'
All. And more.
The Kingdom of God is an Eternal Place, where there can be no competing for position, since every position is ordered by its specific purpose in All Eternity.
You cannot throw these precious things before the problematic whose constitution (within) is mixed up and broken, and who thus cannot remain fully formed and firmly-minded in their ideas.
But neither can you think that there is never any intervention by the gods upon men, and upon the evil that men do.
The King of Tyre was pulled down and his kingdom utterly destroyed.
And it was, no more.
It perished utterly.
This is the Khamsin - a hot wind that blows with great speed from the desert.
The modern human race does not proceed from any idea or belief of actual kinship with actual real 'gods,' whether of divine source or merely some superior advanced race from some distant galaxy far away.
But the spirit of the King of Tyre manifestly remains. He is here. He is very much here. He wholly rejects any other power above him and he claims to be above all else.
You will will live to watch him brought low and destroyed forever.
Right here on this Earth - which is where he claims his territory.
He is a (very) strong man in his house.
And it requires a much stronger man to bind him.
He has enormous numbers of armed troops and countless followers. They bow to him every day and worship his laws and his edicts and they carry out his orders, even if it means the violent assaulting of other men (and women and children too).
He is not a human being.
For 'he was in the Garden of Eden;' when Adam was yet even to be formed...
Thus you cannot act against him as you would against another human being. For he is not a human being at all.
