00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,840
The mystery behind the world.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:07,120
There is more to the world than what we see with our eyes.

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:14,040
Behind the perceivable realm lies another, beyond our ability to measure or quantify.

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:21,720
Behind the history of this world lies another, unrecorded, unrecited, unknown.

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:32,400
And behind that which moves and transforms the world lie unseen forces, causes and agents, undying and primeval.

6
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:38,400
Could such things actually lie behind specific events of the modern world?

7
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,480
Have we been given warnings concerning such things in the writings of past ages?

8
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:47,160
Warnings of one specific force and agent?

9
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:54,040
And could that force and agent lie behind the rise of wars, evils and calamities?

10
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,640
Could it have orchestrated an event that recently shocked our world?

11
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,840
And did that event contain a mystery concerning the end of the age?

12
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,440
Are we all players in a mystery that began long before we were born,

13
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:13,560
that has spanned the ages and has in modern times threatened the future of our planet?

14
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,920
Was it all foretold in the words of an ancient prophecy?

15
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,880
Are we living in the last of days?

16
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,720
What does the future hold and where does it all lead?

17
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,320
What is the mystery of the dragon?

18
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:35,040
And what does all this have to do with you who are now listening to these words?

19
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:42,480
This book will answer those questions and in the process reveal the mysteries of the dark resurrection,

20
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:48,360
the return of the sea peoples, the revenge of the 3000, the black Sabbath,

21
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:56,720
the Shfala, the dragon's holiday, the secret on the mount, the 18,263rd day,

22
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:06,040
the colors of the apocalypse, the beast, the ancient vision that unlocks what is taking place in our world and what is yet to come.

23
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:12,160
And more, it all began on a Friday night in October.

24
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,600
Chapter two, October.

25
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,040
This was not the book I had planned to write.

26
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,080
That book was to be the sequel to the return of the gods.

27
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,400
But what happened across the world would combine with a strong leading in my spirit,

28
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,280
that the book I was about to write was for a future time.

29
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,640
Another mystery was now to be opened.

30
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:38,320
It was October.

31
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:46,680
I was preparing the message to share at the Friday night service of the worship center I lead in Wayne, New Jersey, Beth Israel.

32
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,560
I was led to speak on one of the mysteries from the previous book I had written,

33
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,120
which had just been released a month earlier, the Josiah Manifesto.

34
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:03,120
The following morning, Hamas would launch a mass invasion from the Gaza Strip into the land of Israel.

35
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,880
Israel would be taken by surprise.

36
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,560
What happened that day would shock the sensibilities of many around the world.

37
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,440
It would also be the manifestation of the mystery I had shared the night before.

38
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,080
The mystery foreshadowed a coming event.

39
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,840
It foretold that Israel would be attacked by its enemies.

40
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,600
The attack would involve a massive ground invasion, the first such invasion in half a century.

41
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,280
It would catch the nation by surprise.

42
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,560
Though there would be warnings of its coming, the warnings would not be taken seriously.

43
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,720
The invasion would happen on the Sabbath, the Hebrew day of rest.

44
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:47,040
It would take place on one of the sacred appointed times of God given in the Torah.

45
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,880
It would lead to war.

46
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:54,840
It would happen on the first Saturday of October of 2023.

47
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:01,600
It would all come to pass the morning after I shared the mystery's foundation and parameters.

48
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:08,640
In this book, I will share how the mystery foreordained and foretold exactly what would

49
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,460
take place and when.

50
00:04:13,460 --> 00:04:18,240
That night and what followed would lead to the opening of a mystery that began in ancient

51
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:24,040
times and lay behind the events of modern times.

52
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,960
Part 2 The Dragon Chapter 3

53
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,040
The mystery of evil, it is an ancient entity.

54
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,520
In popular culture it is often depicted in almost cartoonish form.

55
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:44,780
Because of this its existence is often dismissed, but its presence is very real and its impact

56
00:04:44,780 --> 00:04:47,880
on our world most critical.

57
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:53,160
If we should dismiss or ignore it, we do so at our peril.

58
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,600
The transcendent.

59
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,860
What is evil?

60
00:04:57,860 --> 00:04:59,640
And how did it come into existence?

61
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,400
It is both a mystery and a problem.

62
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,360
The mystery is the problem.

63
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:13,480
The problem is used in countless arguments to attempt to disprove God's existence or

64
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,480
nature.

65
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,960
To find the answer, we must start with the foundations.

66
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,200
That evil exists cannot be debated.

67
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,680
To deny it is to deny reality.

68
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:33,120
But the fact that evil exists does not disprove the existence of God.

69
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,760
Nor does it disprove the existence of a supernatural or spiritual realm.

70
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,600
Far from it.

71
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,760
If there was nothing more to life or existence than the material realm or the physical universe,

72
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,440
we could not speak of good or evil.

73
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:56,140
Then war, death, murder, and destruction would not be evil or even a problem, but simply

74
00:05:56,140 --> 00:06:01,240
the playing out of forces and the rearrangement of molecules and atoms.

75
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,360
If there was nothing more to the universe, then we could not judge the Nazi murderer

76
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:12,820
of Jewish children to be evil or the righteous who risked their lives to save the lives of

77
00:06:12,820 --> 00:06:17,260
Jewish children from Nazi murderers to be good.

78
00:06:17,260 --> 00:06:22,080
Nor could we esteem life to be of greater value than death.

79
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:28,840
As with meaning, values, and significance, good and evil require a reality beyond that

80
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:31,120
of the physical.

81
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:39,720
Without this, all values, all moral codes are meaningless, arbitrary, and valueless.

82
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,160
Evil like good is ultimately transcendent.

83
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:51,520
Its existence does not disprove that the spiritual realm exists, but proves that it does.

84
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,920
The uncreated.

85
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,720
This leads to the next question.

86
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,360
If evil exists, then how did it come into existence?

87
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:10,600
More specifically, if God is good, then how could there be evil?

88
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,520
And if God created evil, then how could God be good?

89
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:24,040
But if God did not create evil, then how could evil exist, or how could God be God?

90
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,720
Therein lies the problem and the mystery.

91
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,840
But the very problem of evil contains its answer.

92
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:39,920
If evil was created, it would not be a problem, nor would it be evil.

93
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,880
Evil is a problem for the very reason that it was not created.

94
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,640
It should not exist because it was not created, and yet it does.

95
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,240
The existence of evil defies the created order.

96
00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:01,080
It is not of the creation and thus exists in opposition to the created order.

97
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:07,800
Evil exists in defiance of existence.

98
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,520
Personhood.

99
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:17,440
Further, evil is not simply a force, like that of an earthquake, a hurricane, or a fire.

100
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:24,920
All these bring calamity and destruction, but none would constitute true evil.

101
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,600
Both hurricanes and serial killers bring death.

102
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,920
But hurricanes are not evil.

103
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,520
Serial killers are.

104
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,800
Why?

105
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,280
The hurricane is an impersonal force.

106
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:43,000
It acts without consciousness, will, choice, volition, or intent.

107
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,480
But the serial killer commits his act with conscious intent, will, and volition, and

108
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,560
so is evil.

109
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:58,640
And so evil is not an impersonal force, but a personal one, requiring consciousness, volition,

110
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,760
will, and intent.

111
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:09,040
Thus, in our search for an answer to evil, we are led to personhood.

112
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,880
The Anti-Being.

113
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,200
What is it that makes evil, evil?

114
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:23,760
Evil is an inversion, an inversion of truth, of reality, of existence.

115
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,840
Evil is by nature inverted, and by nature inverts.

116
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:33,880
It twists, bends, and turns existence in upon itself.

117
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,560
It exists as Anti-Existence.

118
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:42,440
Its being is Anti-Being, and its nature Anti-Nature.

119
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:48,720
It is a negation, and therefore seeks to negate, a nullification that exists to nullify.

120
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:55,400
It has no true ultimate or absolute existence, and therefore acts to bring that which exists

121
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,720
into non-existence.

122
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,360
And so evil, by nature, seeks destruction.

123
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,040
It opposes that which is.

124
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:12,020
Possessing no absolute or true existence of its own, evil is as well, by nature, parasitic.

125
00:10:12,020 --> 00:10:19,480
Being not of the created order, it can exist only by drawing its existence from that order.

126
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,540
Evil must use the good.

127
00:10:22,540 --> 00:10:29,640
And so though good can exist without evil, evil cannot exist without good.

128
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:36,200
Truth can exist without falsehood, but falsehood cannot exist without truth.

129
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:42,440
Laws can exist without crimes, marriage, without adultery, and life, without murder.

130
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:48,280
But crimes cannot exist without laws, adultery without marriage, nor murder exist without

131
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,960
life.

132
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:58,000
Conversion requires structure, immorality requires morality, and sin requires the holy.

133
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,920
The good is primary.

134
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,840
Evil is the parasitic inversion of the good.

135
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:09,320
And so the existence of evil inadvertently testifies not against the existence of the

136
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,680
good, but for it.

137
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:21,480
It bears witness unwillingly to the existence of the good, the existence of God.

138
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:28,840
Origins All this leads us to the mystery of origin.

139
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,240
If evil is uncreated, how did it come to exist?

140
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:40,080
God did not create evil, but He did create personhood, consciousness, and volition, free

141
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,560
will.

142
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:44,560
Free will is a necessity.

143
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:50,880
If one does what is good because one has no choice in doing so, then it is not good.

144
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:58,620
The good must be freely chosen and thus requires free will, and therein is the risk.

145
00:11:58,620 --> 00:12:04,420
To allow the choosing of good, one must allow the choosing of its opposite.

146
00:12:04,420 --> 00:12:07,500
And the opposite of good is evil.

147
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:14,640
It is the allowance and risk of the good that allow for the risk of evil.

148
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:21,720
The Inverted Angel Let us now put together the pieces of the

149
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,400
mystery.

150
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,560
Evil requires personhood, will, consciousness, and volition.

151
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:34,960
Therefore we are looking in the direction of personhood toward a conscious entity.

152
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:40,800
It must be a created being that by its volition turned against the created order, against

153
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:47,120
existence itself, a being that became an anti-being, an inversion.

154
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,680
And this is exactly what the scriptures reveal.

155
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:58,280
There are two entities with the ability to choose good or evil, one human and the other

156
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,180
angelic.

157
00:13:00,180 --> 00:13:04,640
This evil is spiritual and beyond flesh and blood.

158
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,600
Its origin must be found beyond flesh and blood, beyond the human, in the realm of the

159
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,840
spiritual and the angelic.

160
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:19,280
And it is in that realm that we find it, the entity that fulfills all the prerequisites,

161
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,960
consciousness, volition, free will, and inversion, and yet not of flesh and blood.

162
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:30,120
An angelic being that turned against the fabric of the created order and against existence

163
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:39,120
itself, and in so turning, it or he became the inversion and the one who inverts.

164
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,280
He became the twisted reality and the twister of reality.

165
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:49,400
In his inversion he became the anti-being, the parasitic inversion of the good, the nemesis

166
