“The Shift” is an incredibly well written movie set in modern times but based on the story of Job in the Bible. This movie will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. The relationships of the characters are very authentic and most will identify with one or more of the characters at different times in your life.
This movie brings the supernatural to a new level of thinking for most Christians and will definitely grab the attention of the sci-fi fans as well. When Kevin Garner meets The Benefactor he is carried to the multiverse and the struggle between good and evil begins.
The very emotions that you can imagine that Job must have experienced comes to life on the big screen in epic proportions! In the movie Kevin’s personal life is under attack and his faith is questioned. He is carried thru the multiverse thru time and space. He even fights with himself! He meets many people along this journey some good and some not so good! Just like real life.
When watching “The Shift” you will feel all the struggle Kevin feels and will see the many temptations “The Benefactor” brings to try and break Kevin.
This is masterfully done and I believe it will appeal to todays audience whether Christian or not. I am purposefully being a bit vague because I do not want to spoil it in any way for you.
The cast is incredible with: Neal McDonough(Band of Brothers), Sean Astin(Lord of the Rings/Rudy), Kristopher Polaha(Wonder Woman 1984), Rose Reid(Finding You), John Billingsley(Star Trek: Enterprise), Emily Rose(Haven) and from (The Chosen) Liz Tabish, Paras Patel and Jorden Walker Ross.
This movie also has discussion guides prepared for your use as well as a five day reading plan that can be accessed in the website.
We are being blessed with another Angel Studio’s movie that is highly entertaining and very powerful! “The Shift” will touch lives that tradition will not. Now is the time for churches to embrace this as a great opportunity to reach the lost and offer hope to many who may never enter their church!

The account of chaos—Leviathan—in Psalm 74 is a bit different from that in Genesis 1. We learn God is from old, working salvation in the midst of the earth (which again, at the beginning would have been only water). Then we learn God divides the seas (which, in Genesis, occurs in Genesis 1:6) and breaks the heads of the sea monsters, along with crushing the heads of Leviathan. Later, we learn God establishes the heavenly lights and the sun (which, in Genesis, doesn’t occur until the fourth day, described in Genesis 1:14–19).
It is generally believed among biblical scholars Psalm 74 and Genesis 1 are likely polemics of the Baal Cycle. That is to say, they are attempts to take credit away from Baal for subduing chaos (Leviathan) and giving proper credit to YHWH for this and for creation itself. It is known from tablets found in Syria over the last 150 years that the Semites of western Mesopotamia, the Amorites and Canaanites, believed that it was their storm-god Baal who had subdued the chaos monster.
Thus says Adad, I brought you back to the throne of your father, I brought you back. The weapons with which I fought Tiamat I gave to you. With the oil of my bitter victory I anointed you, and no one before you could stand.[1]
Adad is the actual name of the west Semitic storm-god we know in the Bible as Baal. (“Baal” is a title that means “lord,” not a proper name.) The excerpt above is from a letter from Adad through his prophet, Abiya, to the king of Mari, Zimrī-Līm. The god was apparently reminding Zimrī-Līm that the king had been restored to power by his divine favor, which included sending to Zimrī-Līm the clubs he’d used to defeat Tiamat!
Another tablet found at Mari, which was located on the Euphrates River near the modern border between Syria and Iraq, confirms that the clubs had been sent from Aleppo, which was known as the “city of Adad,” to the temple of Dagan (the earlier spelling of the Philistine god Dagon) at the town of Terqa, south of Mari.
While that’s a fascinating bit of history—think about that: the divine clubs of Baal were physical objects!—the point is that Zimrī-Līm ruled at the same time as Hammurabi the Great of Babylon, which is about the time scholars believe the Enuma Elish was composed, and at least four hundred years before the Baal Cycle. So, it appears that even between Baal and Marduk there was competition over just who defeated the monstrous god of chaos.
We must remember, people in the ancient Near East would not have the type of scientific, literal, and material point of view we have today in the western world. Rather, their view would have been more symbolic. This doesn’t mean it is any less real or true, it is merely a different way of looking at the world. When we look at the sea, we think of ocean currents and marine biology. When they looked at it, they thought of Leviathan/Tiamat/Litanu, chaos, and death. Therefore, what we have in Genesis 1 and Psalm 74 is not a scientific description of how everything was created, but a symbolic polemic describing who gets the credit for creating everything. According to the Bible, it’s not Baal. It’s not Marduk. It is YHWH.
One might wonder, if it is a polemic, where is the battle? It is true, we do not see an epic battle in Genesis 1. There is a description of a defeat in Psalm 74, but it is still quite different when compared against the Baal Cycle. The idea conveyed by the biblical writers is when YHWH of Israel started creation, these chaotic forces were already held in check. There was no need for a battle; Leviathan was already bound because the one true God didn’t need to fight.
This would have been considered a slap in the face to Canaanite religion and the inferior god Baal. It was saying YHWH is the God who is truly in control and always has been. YHWH restricts chaos, not Baal. If a Canaanite living at that time were to read the Genesis account of creation, he would understand instantly what the text was doing. It’s busting down Baal and lifting up YHWH as supreme.
We see this same sort of thing in Psalm 89:
You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them. You crushed Rahab like a carcass; you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them. (Psalm 89:9–11, ESV)
This idea is repeated as an apocalyptic idea by the prophet Isaiah 27:
In that day the LORD with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea. (Isaiah 27:1, ESV)
In Psalm 89, Rahab is a name for Egypt but is also equated with the sea beast Leviathan. In Isaiah 27, we read of a time in the future where chaos is not simply subdued but is destroyed forever. Consider what John N. Oswalt’s commentary on the book of Isaiah says about this:
Most scholars today are in agreement that while the exodus events are in the center of the writer’s thinking, they are not by any means all that is there. Rahab is clearly a term for Egypt (cf. 30:7; and Ps. 87:4, where Rahab and Babylon are paired); so also the monster (or “dragon”) is a term for Pharaoh (Ezek. 29:3). But it is also clear that those terms are not limited to those historical referents. As is known from Ugaritic studies, the twisting monster is a figure in the struggles of Baal with the god of the sea, Yam, as is “Leviathan,” which is equated with the monster in Isa. 27:1. Given these facts, and the evidence that the myth of the struggle of the gods with the sea monster was known in one form or another all over the ancient Near East, one has reason to believe that Isaiah is here, as in 27:1, utilizing this acquaintance among the people for his own purposes. It is important to note that the allusions to Near Eastern myths in the Bible all occur after 750 B.C., long after the basic antimythic character of biblical faith had been established. Thus there is an appeal here neither to some current Hebrew myth nor to some original one, now dead. Rather, just as a contemporary poet might allude to the Iliad or the Odyssey, utilizing imagery familiar to his hearers but that is hardly part of their belief system, so Isaiah uses the imagery of the well-known stories of creation to make his point. It was not Baal or Marduk or Ashur who had any claim to being the Creator—it was the Lord alone.[2]
The idea coming out of this comparison of Psalm 74 and Genesis 1 is that by the time the actual creation starts, Leviathan/Chaos is already subdued. This would seem to indicate in the text, at least in the mind of the writers of these passages, there is a lot more going on with Genesis 1:1-3 than what we are typically taught in Sunday school. We learn in the very first verse God created the heavens and the earth. However, what was that process like? What were the conditions? How long did it take? We are not told specifically, but we are given clues if we think of this as a polemic on ancient Canaanite religion.
Whether taken as literal or symbolic, the texts indicate a creation story unlike anything most of us were taught in the Church, but it’s one that biblical scholars are very familiar with. The sea represents chaos, yet as we see in Genesis 1:2, chaos is already subdued by the Spirit of God hovering over the face of the waters. The battle was over before it began. Whether Leviathan is meant to be understood as a literal sea beast existing somewhere in spiritual existence or as a symbol for the very real chaos of nature is unknown. Perhaps it is both. In any event, the text allows us a little more freedom in understanding creation than what we may have previously been taught.
There are other interesting things to pull from this idea as well. In Genesis, once the water was still and chaos subdued, God started to create order from disorder. This idea, order from disorder, is common throughout ancient near-eastern religious texts, yet the writer of Genesis gives proper credit to YHWH, the God of Israel. To the writer of Genesis, the other, lesser gods tried to usurp YHWH’s accomplishments and attributes, so he wishes to set the record straight.
The main reason for reiterating this point is because there are occult/pagan circles today who follow doctrines related to “order out of chaos,” “as above, so below,” and others. Since, in our culture today, those are recognized as doctrines outside of Christianity, it is worth repeating the point of polemics here. It seems the writer of Genesis was dealing with a similar thing in his day, so to set the record straight, he gave credit to YHWH for these things instead of allowing the lesser gods to usurp and defile them.

“Left Behind, Rise of the AntiChrist” is based on a true story! (coming our way soon)The Bible states that there will be a sudden and unexpected Vanishing (or Rapturing) away of millions of people some day. It talks about specific deceptions that will take place and the masses will be fooled or frightened into believing anything. The Bible also tells of a Global government that will rule and a powerful leader will captivate nearly everyone. In this movie the antichrist is introduced in a very realistic and terrifying way. It is done in a way to shake everyone up, it needs to seen by everyone!
Left Behind, Rise of the AntiChrist, will bring you to the edge of your seat as you see that what is happening today can clearly be seen as the fulfilling of biblical prophesy. But how will our unbelieving friends and family learn and accept this as truth? This movie takes us on a journey with several individuals who share in this same doubt. Some of them are agnostic or atheistic in their attitudes and are left with many unanswered questions after the vanishings. Our main characters, Buck, Ray, Chloe and Pastor Bruce Barnes each have to deal with the lies and deceptions being thrown at them as well as their personal search for the real truth. Each of them had heard the truth before and rejected it! Many of our friends and relatives are exactly like Ray, Buck and Chloe. They have heard about God and been to church but have still rejected Christ. Each one of our movie characters, including a pastor, has to now face reality!
This movie is action packed with high energy and a powerful thought provoking storyline that no one can ignore! Left Behind is entertaining yet has the most important message in the world. As a pastor and ministry we want to encourage you to make this your opportunity to take family and friends even your entire church to watch this movie. Use it as a special outreach to your community.
Pastors, it is the perfect time to preach on the return of Jesus and how that will look? Take the opportunity to have small group discussions breaking down parts of the movie and see how it lines up with God’s word. Many people will have questions after seeing it. Be prepared to answer and introduce them to Christ. Start looking in the website: www.LeftBehindmovie.com for Resources and Sermon ideas.
If at all possible buy out an entire theater in your town. This not only encourages your church to come and bring a friend but it is a testimony to the theater owners about what Christians are looking for.
You may ask, why are you doing this? Truth is, we don’t want you or anyone Left Behind!

Trans-humanism In the Bible
In our last article, we talked about the Covid vaccines and how they are, at minimum, experimental, and at maximum, the precursor to the Mark of the Beast (MOB) because we are beginning to change our genetic material from what God wrote to something that man wrote. They are changing our creator. But if you are still skeptical, then ask yourself this question. If they have isolated this virus and have an accurate test for Covid, then why are 80% of the people who test positive for Covid asymptomatic?
They also developed a natural “herd” immunity to Covid, which will last for a significant period. So, why are they pushing this vaccine so hard? Now consider that up to 80% of the people who take the vaccine become symptomatic. It becomes obvious, just as 55,000 doctors said in the “Great Barrington Declaration,” that head-to-head natural immunity (God’s way) is way better than man-made immunity.
Given these statistics, why would anyone take this vaccine if they have no risk of dying from Covid? Why are people around the globe losing their jobs and being bullied into taking this vaccine? Especially when here in the USA the “CDC Reports 1,637 Deaths Following COVID-19 Vaccinations.” In Europe, many countries have pulled the AstraZeneca vaccine due to complications. None of this makes sense. What is the real agenda? https://time.com/5842669/coronavirus-asymptomatic-transmission/ https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/many-receiving-second-covid-19-vaccine-dose-are-reporting-symptoms https://gbdeclaration.org https://thevaccinereaction.org/2021/03/cdc-reports-1637-deaths-following-covid-19-vaccinations/ https://medicalkidnap.com/2021/03/12/cdc-1524-dead-31079-injured-following-experimental-covid-mrna-vaccines/ https://www.voanews.com/covid-19-pandemic/more-european-countries-halt-use-astrazeneca-vaccine
An Obsession with “Super”
In this current article, we want to explore some of the other temptations to alter our DNA. But the biggest question that we will address is whether the Bible has warned us of this coming genetic revolution. More specifically, did the Bible predict that something like trans-humanism would come along to offer something that Satan has been promising mankind since the Garden of Eden?
It is becoming more obvious that our society is becoming obsessed with “superheroes” or people with superpowers. If we add in aliens, magic, and sorcery, we have the plot of virtually every new movie. Yet, with all of this talk of superheroes, I want to remind us that Jesus is still the greatest superhero of all. Why? Because Jesus had to be born a man, live like a man, and die like a man to redeem all of mankind. Someone who wasn’t a man, with different DNA than ours, could not have achieved this superhuman feat because he wasn’t fully human.
This is the power of the Gospel. Through Christ, we will get a new super body, a new super destiny, a new super identity, a new super home, and new superpowers to boot. This is why the desire for something more is buried so deep within our hearts because this is what we were created to be. Satan knows how tempting this is for us. Consequently, the motivation to take the MOB may be more than just fear. It could simply be linked to our desire to be like God. Isn’t that why we are so fascinated with both superheroes and the supernatural world? Wasn’t this temptation to be super part of Satan’s first spiel? Maybe it wasn’t all fluff. Maybe the MOB will in some way full fill part of Satan’s promise to make us a little more “god-like.”
Altered Perception
What are some of the consequences of changing our DNA? Unfortunately, the consequences could be endless. I have heard Dr. Tom Horn talk many times about how when we transfer quail DNA in chickens, they move their heads like quail and sound like quail. These are complex memories and patterns of behavior that are instantaneously changed. Applying this to human beings could turn them into something that is not fully human. Even Francis Fukuyama, the Nobel peace prize-winning scientist that wrote “What is the world’s most dangerous idea?” did not stop there. He went on to write “Our Posthuman Future: Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution.”
This is where looking at the super-soldier program may be our best illustration of what is possible. What exactly are they looking to change about humans in this program? Some of the scary truth comes out in the article, “DARPA Continues Human Experiments to Create Military Super Soldiers.” In the article, they specifically say they are trying to: “enhance a soldier’s ability to kill without care or remorse, shows no fear, can fight battle after battle without fatigue, and generally behave more like a machine than a man.”
Unfortunately, they have been experimenting on human beings in this way for more than 20 years. But who would call the soldier they are describing human? More importantly, who would want to sign up for that? Honestly, that description could easily be a description of your average demon. If you are still struggling with understanding how unlocking and sequencing DNA is changing mankind, then here are some movies to watch that might help to get a handle on just what is possible.
INHUMAN: THE NEXT AND FINAL PHASE OF MANKIND IS HERE!
“Human Nature” & “Unnatural Selection” on Netflix – Detailing CRISPR technology
Trans-humanism?
Originally trans-humanism was changing our DNA and combining or splicing it with other species, but with the invention of CRISPR technology, it is possible to sequence our own designer DNA instead of using pre-existing DNA strands and splicing them together. What people fail to understand is that the fundamental tenet of transhumanism is to re-make mankind into a new image, and one of our own (or someone else’s) choosing. We have the technology to combine plants, animals, and humans to make human-hybrids that are stronger, smarter, less violent, and live much longer. This is the supposedly positive side of altering our DNA, but the super-soldiers sound more like demons more than men.
Nonetheless, if the promises of trans-humanism come true, which is to make a better man than God did, then how might this also be another kind of “cause” that motivates the whole world to take this marker? Who doesn’t want to look better, live longer, and have superpowers? Unfortunately, no matter what your narrative is, changing our DNA would be the extinction of the human race, at least the one that God created. God simply can not say that He created the kinds of changes that are being proposed. This is the point where we would stop being what God created and become something else.
This is why trans-humanism is the world’s most dangerous idea because it is the end of the human race and the beginning of another race. After all, from their perspective, we are just evolving. The problem is we are starting to evolve into beings who think they are gods. This is also why I believe trans-humanism is connected to the MOB. Certainly, the MOB would have to be considered the single most dangerous threat to salvation that mankind will ever see. Consequently, genetic manipulation of the human genome is the game-changer that the church is completely unaware of. But where their plan converges on our Bibles is that they need access to our bodies to execute their plan.
As we speak most of us are even now focused on some kind of outrageous assault on our freedoms because there are too many “causes” destroying our country to even count. Wouldn’t now be the perfect time to slip the world’s most dangerous agenda into play. Certainly, it could be argued that taking a vaccine is one of the main narratives of the COVID-19 deception. This elimination of the original genome that God wrote Himself could easily be the reason why God tells us that He has to return otherwise no one would be left. (Matthew 24:22)
Maybe, God is talking about His children. The ones who have His DNA, and the ones who bear His image. But none of this is possible unless they get access to our bodies. Even now they are getting us comfortable with their template and things like DNA and RNA. But the question is: did the Bible give us some huge hints that there might be a genetic component to the MOB?
For now, understand that trans-humanism is asking a question that has been raging in our minds since the temptation in the Garden of Eden. Do we want to be God’s children, or do we want to be something of our own making? Do we want to be a god? Now we must look deep within ourselves and decide what we wish to become. This has always been Satan’s agenda, to have a seed that looks like him.
While technology is getting better every day, there are still some glitches in the plan. They are not ready to roll out the MOB, but this cannot be a coincidence that these are the first vaccines to have mRNA. The mistake would be to think that these vaccines aren’t going to do anything, even though they won’t cause us to lose our salvation. Yet the fact remains that genetic codes are being sent into our bodies to re-write our God-given RNA, which in turn will make our bodies begin to do unnatural things. They are saying that these codes are only temporary, but that was not what happened when they tried this same technology on mice. That was not what Tal Zaks, chief medical officer of Moderna said was happening. So, my advice is don’t change anything God did.
The Precursor to MOB
The mistake would be to think that just because the first rocket didn’t put a man on the moon, that it didn’t go anywhere. Likewise, it would be a mistake to think that changing our RNA is harmless. More importantly, we could be looking for a treatment plan instead of a “one and done” deal. Rolling things out in stages would certainly avoid the obvious objections to the gross undeniable change that the MOB seems to cause.
A better way to roll this out simply means turning up the heat slowly. In other words, small genetic changes could produce smaller behavioral or spiritual changes that somehow change our perceptions and/or our ability to connect with God. In other words, our conscience may be the most important tool we have to remain in a good relationship with God. It is also true, that changing what we can see could also change us. What am I talking about? In the same way that Balaam’s donkey could see the angel and Balaam couldn’t, changing our DNA could change the world that we think we live in. A veil could be opened or closed. Here is an example that happened in one of the trials by AstraZeneca.
“They’ve Killed God; I Can’t Feel God Anymore – My Soul Is Dead” After the Vaccine.
https://beforeitsnews.com/prophecy/2020/09/theyve-killed-god-i-cant-feel-god-anymore-my-soul-is-dead-after-the-vaccine-urgent-read-2514214.html?fbclid=IwAR3nVNZGeCXg1_SjmswXoc9UqWzQwA9HUyuYjntaGf7b4Un4RZ4JKYQQebg
Not only can eyes be opened or closed, but certainly, splicing reptilian or wolf DNA into a human being would allow them to be able to kill more easily and with less remorse. This is why opening up our DNA for anyone to tamper with becomes the “pandora’s box” that should not be opened. The fact that they are using mRNA is a sign that they are now going to try and use genetic therapy to accomplish their goals from here on out.
The Covid deception is the greatest deception we have seen in our lifetime. It has also provided the “chaos” that the world’s governments have needed to require access to our bodies so that they can tamper with our genetic material? How is that not at least putting an engine on a frame with wheels? Surely, they are trying to make a car. Surely, this is at least a crime against humanity, and how can we as the church, keep silent for those that will hear?
The Great Deception
The problem that I have with most everyone in the field of Bible prophecy is that they are always telling us what is going to happen. Everyone is so sure that they know what the MOB that they aren’t even looking for it. I will be the first to tell you that I do not know what is going to happen, or even what it will all look like when it happens. This is why I believe we must speculate on the few things the Bible gives us based upon what we are seeing happen right now. (Luke 21) I believe this chaos, deception, governmental mandates, loss of freedom, and now experimental vaccines with RNA inside them are clearly saying that now is the season and Jesus is coming soon.
But what exactly are the churches standing up for? Mostly what I see is business as usual. Just continuing to preach their next sermon series and trying to stay away from anything political. Unfortunately, most people shut down this line of inquiry before I can even get started. That is why none of this is going to convince some people. I’ve had friends of mine that will tell me, “I’m sorry Kevan, you’re never going be able to convince me that the Mark of the Beast has anything to do with vaccines.” But honestly, this only proves my point that vaccines would be the perfect way to start a pattern of needing access to our bodies. People aren’t looking for it.
They have had many vaccines before and they didn’t turn into green-eyed monsters. But Christians are not the only ones to be alarmed at the idea of changing any of our genetic codes. Like it or not, changing our DNA is the world’s most dangerous idea. Not only is that idea here, but it is also now being partially executed through a vaccine that is surrounded by chaos.
Genetic Manipulation in the Bible.
There are many troubling passages in the Bible, but Genesis the third chapter is certainly one of them. This is the chapter that gives us the first prophecy in the Bible, and it is called the “War of the Seeds.” The key part of what God says to Adam, Eve, and Satan is “I will put enmity (make enemies, open hostility, war) between you and the woman, and between your seed (offspring) and her Seed; He shall [fatally] bruise your head, and you shall [only] bruise His heel.” AMP This is prophetic of the coming of the Messiah who is the “seed or offspring” of a woman, which was fulfilled through the virgin birth.
The problem is that most people do not look at this verse as the template or strategy for how Satan plans on defeating God and His children. Satan is looking to have children himself. There is almost nothing that God does that Satan does not want to emulate. It would also seem to wage this war against God that Satan needs a lot of help. Remember, he only took one-third of the angels in heaven with him, so he is hopelessly outnumbered. (Revelations 12:4) Not only does Satan need children, but he also wants them, and the more they look like him the better.
Certainly, Satan’s desire to also take everything of God’s is why we are in a battle for souls of humanity, but does someone giving their soul to Satan fulfill this passage? I don’t believe that it does. This passage says that Satan’s greatest plan is to create offspring that will help him wage this war against God’s children. The problem is where is Satan’s seed or offspring? An even more fundamental question is how could Satan alter the DNA necessary to make his dreams come alive?
The Days of Noah
How this could happen, we are not able to answer because we have no way of knowing how much technology Satan knows. The mistake would be to think that Satan isn’t actively exploring any avenue that will help him win the war. Either way, Genesis 3 should be considered to be the backdrop for Genesis 6:6, which is the strangest story in the Bible. However, if we were already looking for the appearance of a new creature that was not created in the first 6 days of creation, then it becomes just a little less strange.
Of all the questions surrounding Genesis 6, we have to remember that the end result was the creation of the Nephilim. The Nephilim are the only real candidates for the literal “seed (offspring) of Satan” in the entire Bible. The problem is that “how this happened” is still controversial even to this day. Now I am not here to tell us that I know whether disobedient angels can have sex with women, but I am not sure that is absolutely what the text says. More importantly, if I can take a swab of anyone’s DNA and have a baby with them, no matter what sex they are, then how is Satan less technologically advanced than we are?
What I get from the passage is quite simple. Human women were taken by fallen angels, but they were also punished for what they did in the Days of Noah. (2 Peter 2:4 & Jude 1:6) The “Sons of God” did not marry these women and there was no wedding. They did not seem to keep them for very long either. When they came back, they were pregnant. When they delivered these children, they were different in every way, which means that they had different DNA. What could have changed their DNA?
While the Nephilim were different, they could still breed with humans, which means they were human hybrids. Again, if left unchecked, these genetic manipulations would have destroyed all of God’s creation by contaminating His seed or offspring. Considering that the Messiah was to come from the “seed of the woman” this was not something God could overlook. This would certainly be considered an act of war by anyone’s standards. Consequently, God had to intervene to keep the Messianic lineage uncorrupted.
Genetic integrity is also why Noah was chosen because he was “perfect in his generations.” (Genesis 6:9) The Bible goes on to tell us that God destroyed the world with a flood because all flesh had become corrupt. (Genesis 6:12) Taking that passage literally could certainly mean that their DNA had become corrupt. All of the “Days of Noah” narrative fits the Genesis 3 template. If the Nephilim or giants were indeed Satan’s genetically modified offspring, then the only question left to ask is, “were they at war with humans?
The Bible teaches that these two people groups were at war with each other. While the flood took care of most of the issue, the Nephilim continued on the earth for some time after the flood, but that was not to last. That is because the Bible commanded that they were to be killed everywhere they were found. (Deuteronomy 2:10-11, 2:21, and 3:11) These specific passages have become notorious with critics of the Bible because they have allowed them to say that God of the Bible could not possibly be a God of love to do such things.
But if we understand what God said would happen immediately after the fall of mankind (the war between the two seeds or offspring), then all of this starts to make sense. Different seed, different offspring, and their differing genetic codes are important themes from the very beginnings of our faith, but only in modern times have we been able to understand the genetic implications of these passages.
The DNA Wars
Why is all of this important? Jesus specifically tells us that just before He returns it would be just like the “Days of Noah. (DON) (Matthew 24:37) No matter what really happened in Genesis 6, the Nephilim narrative becomes the distinguishing feature of the DON. Can it then be a coincidence that in modern terms, genetic manipulation in the form of trans-humanism is once again producing a new offspring with a different seed or DNA? Their mistake the first time was to make these hybrids too different. Keep this in mind for the next phase of their age-old war. The difference this time is that God will once again have to intervene.
So, the obvious question is: if one of the major indicators that we are in the end times is that we see a new kind of hybrid human being, then maybe the Days of Noah are once again upon us. Combine this with the “super sign,” which is the mere existence of Israel and the controversy that has caused around the world, then everything necessary seems to be in play for the “end times.” (Zechariah 12:3) So, why can’t the MOB start to show its head?
Especially if there is a connection between the seed of Satan, the DON, and the MOB. Yet, there is yet another passage that speaks of two kinds of seed that is directly applicable to the people groups living in the last days. I am talking about the “Divided Kingdom” found in Daniel the 2nd chapter. Recall we are talking about the image with the head of gold followed by silver, bronze, iron, and then a unique or “divided kingdom” because it has two distinct kinds of people. Partly iron and partly clay, in that “they” mingled themselves with the seed of men, and the two would not mix.” (Daniel 2:43)
Who are the “they” being referenced here? One would have to say that the best candidate would have to be the same beings that pulled off the same feet previously. This would be the “Sons of God” or disobedient angels who were punished for what they did in the Days of Noah. Again, thinking back to the only hybrid people with mixed, mingled, or with a different seed certainly causes Genesis 3 & 6 to come to mind. Again, the Nephilim are the only clear candidates.
So, Daniel is giving us some great information reminiscent of the DON. Here is what I hear Daniel saying. In the “last days,” there are two kinds of people. Those with mingled or mixed seed, and those with unmingled or unmixed seed. But the two do not get along. Again, the seed we are talking about here in modern terms is DNA, which certainly produces two different kinds of people or offspring.
True to history, the idea of putting these two people groups together again would certainly be like trying to mix oil and vinegar. It is not going to work and everyone knows it. This is why the National Institutes of Health granted $773,000 to Case Law School to help determine “ethically acceptable rules” for how to integrate hybrids into our society. When this comes out, a new level of racism is going to immerge between those who have human DNA versus those with trans-human DNA.
https://www.christianpost.com/news/listening-to-the-transhumanists.html
Of course, the biggest complaint against some of the narratives involving the Nephilim is the lack of physical evidence. This is where I believe there is a provable cover-up. Some of this cover-up is detailed in the movie, “A Race of Giants.” The movie is not from a religious point of view. Nonetheless, the movie documents that in America alone there have been over 1,500 newspaper accounts that have referenced 3,781 skeletons of a race of blond-haired giants (7-12 feet tall).
Recently, LA Marzulli has documented many of the elongated skulls, and shown how they have different DNA than we have. (See the Watcher Series: Expert Analysis: DNA results) I go further into this argument in my “Days of Noah” series on prophecydays.com. There you will find a video link, an MP3 audio file, and a download of my notes. At this point, the fundamental question for many of us is why is changing our genetic codes a big problem.
Kinsman Redeemer Idea
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. (Hebrews 10:4)
Animals cannot redeem humans, but Jesus can because he is related to us. Jesus is our kinsman. This is why Jesus had to be born a man, live like a man, and die like a man to redeem mankind. Jesus would be the first one redeemed to heaven, which is a higher reality of love, holiness, and joy unspeakable. Even though that higher reality has been watching over us, and cheering for us, there was no way that we could ever redeem ourselves. Vice versa, heaven could not compromise itself and allow evil to enter back in. (Revelation 21:27) No man was good enough until Jesus.
That is why Jesus’s disciples called him “good.” (Mark 10:18) Because Jesus was God, He was able to be the unblemished lamb and redeem the sins of the whole world. He redeemed our race because He was of the same race. Even more glorious, Jesus now sits on the throne of heaven. What people forget (and what Dr. Michel Heiser points out) is that there is a government in heaven that includes divine courts and counsels. The point is that the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus destroyed the legal obstacles that were preventing the reinstatement of our birthright as children of God.
That being said, if we were to argue the rights of a father to his son here on earth, most likely the court would order a DNA test. If the father has no common alleles, then that father would have no paternal rights to the child. Why do we do that? Because in some sense the father is also partly the creator of the child, but only if part of the father is also in his child. Now, I am not trying to say that our DNA saves us, but it is part of who we are and why we look like our Father.
On the other hand, we are not just spiritual beings, even though it is being “born again” of the spirit that ultimately saves our souls and our bodies. The great news is that this rebirth of the spirit will one day also give us back a new physical body. Not surprisingly, all of the saints who have gone on before us are waiting expectantly for the day when they get their bodies back. (Romans 8:23) The mistake is to think of our bodies as only a box we live in as if they do not affect who we are. The reason the Saints groaned is that without their bodies they were incomplete. Our bodies give us input, they affect our identity, and they give us a way to connect and express ourselves in the physical world. Part of us is in our bodies.
God Wrote Our DNA
If the word of God is sharper than any sword, then what is it about God’s words that makes them so powerful? There are many components to this answer, but part of the answer is that words relay information. If they come from God, they communicate correct information or truth. As we know from scripture, it is the truth that sets us free from the lies of Satan. More importantly, the right words or truth are more powerful at creating a right relationship with God than any other commodity.
Here is the parallel. Just like words, DNA is an information system. But unlike words, DNA also has the ability to change the physical reality of the user. This is why God has specifically commanded that we not mix species. (Leviticus 19:198) If we change DNA in any species, then we are changing what God created, which means we are playing God. We are also changing the image from something that God had previously called “good.” But are we capable of making something better than God?
When I think about changing anything God did or said, I like to remember that if God said something different, then all of reality would change. This is why God never changes because if He did, He would be less Holy, righteous, and loving. This is also why changing any part of what God created is wrong in general. However, when it is directed at changing our DNA, I believe it is blasphemy. After all, changing the words of the Bible has the same effect. (Revelation 22:18-19)
What I am asserting is that if God wrote our DNA, then our DNA is relaying correct information. However, if we change our DNA, then we are changing the truth of God’s creation into a lie. We are choosing to change our very identity at a fundamental level. If we change our DNA, then whose children would we be? If Satan has been planning on how to have more children since Genesis 3, how far do you think he has gotten since then? More importantly, how far can we go and still be human? How far can we go and still be related to Adam or Jesus? Only the courts of heaven could ever know, and I don’t intend on finding out.
Blaspheming the Temple of the Holy Spirit
While it is common for Christians to teach that our bodies are “the temple of the Holy Spirit,” it is not common for them to realize that every measurement of that temple is determined by the information found in our DNA. Historically, changing the dimensions or any part of the temple, Holy of Holies or the “Ark of the Covenant” would all be considered blasphemy. Now consider that the other unforgivable sin is blaspheming the Holy Spirit, which essentially comes down to denying the ultimate truth, “Jesus is Lord.”
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:16-18)
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:8; also see 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)
Vice versa, all of the people who worship the beast obviously do not believe Jesus is the Son of God. This is a deal-breaker for all of heaven. After all, three simple words, “Jesus is Lord,” are the most important and utterly undeniable facts of the universe. However, this information is still something that only the Holy Spirit (HS) can reveal to us. If we deny the truth of Jesus, it is difficult to understand how someone can be saved because they have repeatedly blasphemed the witness of the HS. Keep in mind just how important the Holy Spirit is in our lives because Jesus said that it was better for Him to leave so that the Holy Spirit could come and live inside of us.
If that Holy Spirit cannot come inside us, then we have blasphemed the HS’s message. On the other hand, it is through the power of the Holy Spirit that we can walk and talk with God every day in the garden of our hearts. However, no matter how much God loves us, not following instructions or correct information is what caused Adam and Eve to sin in the first place. The same is also true for Cain. Not following the instructions for the measurements of the temple could cause God to refuse to inhabit it. It is dangerous to destroy God’s temple because God promises to destroy anyone who dares to do that.
Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)
If God refused to inhabit a temple that was not what He instructed or designed, then why wouldn’t this also apply to our bodies? Can a Holy God inhabit an un-holy temple constructed in direct disobedience? Can a holy God inhabit the unholy seed or offspring of Satan who is created in Satan’s image? Remember, God hates sin, lies, and hate. So, how could God love or inhabit a being created based on lies, sin, and hate?
This is why I believe the first unforgivable sin is connected to the second unforgivable sin, which is the MOB. I believe the MOB is also blaspheming the Holy Spirit because it defiles or destroys the temple of the Holy Spirit and making the person uninhabitable. Vice versa, Satan also wants to make a person that he or his demons can inhabit because most of them are disembodied spirits, which means they are looking for a body to inhabit and to express themselves into the world.
This is why we cannot worship God and Satan. There is a choice that has to be made, and that is why people must choose the MOB for it to work at all. The problem is that if they do, then they have defiled the temple of God, which is their own body by corrupting the image that they were made in. They are also permanently changing who’s seed or offspring they are. At best, it would seem difficult to imagine how the HS could inhabit the children of Satan. Yet, this is the promise of trans-humanism, to remake mankind into a new image and one of our choosing.
Now consider the Covid “cause” and the effect that it is having on our governments. Now the thing that we have to take to let things go back to normal requires taking something that has never been proposed in human history. The genetic material in the form of messenger RNA is now sending new messages into our bodies and rewriting God’s instructions. Who in their right mind would want to do that, but it is happening right now because of the great deception? Unfortunately, both political parties are pushing it as the solution to the problem. The only difference is that some of them are saying it should be mandatory.
Here is an article that details recombinant DNA and CRISPR technology, and how we can incorporate new information into human beings to make them better.

Enter the Alien Agenda
As if I haven’t pushed the envelope enough, I am still going there because there is an obvious connection. Few are willing to talk about it, but I am going to point out how this phenomenon is manifesting some of the exact narratives of these articles. More importantly, why aren’t we talking about aliens? After all, more Americans now believe in aliens more than God. (see below) That statistic alone should be a strong indicator as to how the Anti-Christ might best present himself to the world as its true savior. So, how can we not talk about that? After all, the things we don’t talk about are the very things that the world only hears one side of the story.
https://entertainment.ie/trending/statistics-show-that-more-people-believe-in-ghosts-and-aliens-than-god-342325/
Not only is the TV show “Ancient Aliens” popular, but much of it can also be easily debunked. (see below) However, even some basic investigation of the alien hypothesis can yield some startling intersections with Biblical themes. For instance, there is a movie on amazon prime called, Extraordinary: The Seeding. Not only does this movie have multiple accounts of women being abducted by aliens and coming back pregnant, but the name of it is “The Seeding,” which is the same word our Bibles uses talking about what Satan will one day have.
These same women are abducted again before giving birth, and this time the baby is taken. Later, some of these women are abducted and met their children. Ok, so what does that sound like? This is almost the same scenario talked about in Genesis 6. The difference seems to be that they have learned a few things since then. Meaning, they don’t let the baby be born because that might make world news.
Whether we believe in alien abduction or not, they have several connection points with some of the supernatural things found in the Bible. One example is when angels helped Peter escape prison. Like the cuffs falling off, people can pass through other solid objects. Just like Peter’s guards, people can be paralyzed so they are helpless. The shocking thing is that the people in the UFO community teach that once an abduction starts, it cannot be stopped. But this isn’t true.
A man by the name of Joe Jordan, a MUFON certified investigator, has documented hundreds of cases where the name of Jesus stopped those aliens’ abductions in their tracks. Now, what does that sound like? It sounds like we should be teaching that from every pulpit in the country. Through this discovery, Joe not only became a Christian, but he now helps people see the connection between the alien agenda and demons. He also sees a connection between Satan’s desire to have a seed or modern Nephilim, and the alien agenda.
https://youtu.be/NuMajWp_EzA & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOC7K3L86TM
But Joe Jordan is not the only one. Dr. David Jacobs is the author of “UFO Controversy in America,” “Secret Life: Firsthand Accounts of UFO Abductions,” and “The Threat.” Dr. Jacobs has been studying alien abductions for longer than anyone (30+ years). In an interview, Dr. Jacobs was asked what alien abductions have in common. He said it was their “obsession with genetic material.” When asked what he made of that he replied, they have their “own breeding program.” Now, what does that sound like? The only thing that stops these entities is the name of Jesus, and they are obsessed with genetic material probably because they have a breeding program.
Could this be why the world is going so crazy so fast? We always talk about how we are in spiritual warfare with spiritual powers and principalities, but could there be a literal seed of Satan already among us? Could this same seed be a way for disembodied demons to manifest themselves into our world and take up the age-old “War of the Seeds?” Again, I cannot say whether this is all true, but I can say that the alien phenomenon clearly has intersections with Biblical narratives like the “Days of Noah” and demonology.
The last thing I am going to mention about the alien agenda is something that Pastor Billy Crone has brought out in some of his alien studies that can be found on YouTube. Billy is a Baptist minister, but he came out of the new age movement. Consequently, he is familiar with remote viewing, astral projection, and out-of-body experiences. But one of my favorite sermons was about how aliens act like demons. Billy also does a great job at showing how many of the new age authors are channeling or remote writing for spirits who identify themselves as aliens.
Coincidentally, they are always from specific constellations that are historically occultic. This fact alone should make all of us consider the possibility that when the Abyss is opened, and the spirits who have been in prison are released, one of the obvious ways they may present themselves to the world is an alien race. Now that would certainly be quite the deception, especially when more people now believe in aliens than God.
The War of the Seeds
Just as God desires to have children, Satan also wants to do the same, but he needs them for a far more sinister purpose; to wage war against the children of God. Satan himself was a child of God and he wants to recruit us in his cause against God. But I also believe that Satan also wants to be the father and creator to a new category of beings. He can do this by remaking mankind into his image. This fundamental change is possible through trans-humanism and modern science.
If we consider the Bible to be true, then it is possible that the “war of the seeds” may be upon us just as it was in the “Days of Noah.” Unfortunately, it may be one of the major backdrops for the turmoil of the “end times.” Breakthroughs like CRISPR mean that people will be able to change their race or even create a new race of beings. I also believe that the current mRNA vaccines mark the beginning of genetic experimentation on the masses.
Unfortunately, the worldwide “cause” has blinded some people. Yet, none of this deception would be possible if we had not failed to see the connection of our body and our spirit. Our bodies are more than just our habitation (earthly house, tent, or tabernacle). (2 Corinthians 5:2) Our bodies and our DNA are why we look like God. (1 John 3:2) Dr. Michael Heiser summarizes much of the whole Bible into a drama surrounding God’s “divine family.” Dr. Heiser also calls us God’s “imagers,” meaning that we look exactly like God. This also makes sense because Jesus looks like us.
The Politically Correct Church
When we see Jesus face to face, we will look like Him and we will be like Him. (1 John 3:2) How would that meeting go if we didn’t look like Him? If DNA determines how we look, then how can anyone claim that overwriting (what God wrote) our natural RNA or possibly our DNA is somehow godly? This vaccine, by all appearances, is the start of changing what God wrote into our genes, which is why I believe this is the precursor to the MOB.
Consequently, we have no idea what kinds of doors we are opening up. There is little room to debate that we are not officially messing with the code of life, which is a form of playing God. Unfortunately, churches see this subject as a medical or political issue, so they are steering clear of it as if it will go away. But not all churches are being silent. Some are speaking truth, which is that something more than fishy is going on here.
Black leaders dare to tell the truth about vaccine depopulation GENOCIDE – https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-03-04-situation-update-mar-4th-black-leaders-tell-the-truth-vaccine-depopulation-genocide.html
There is a world-wide assault on all of our freedoms. But of all the freedoms we are losing, (speech, guns, family, marriage, boys, girls, to show our face, travel, work, liberty, and privacy), losing the rights to our own body would be the ultimate loss of freedom. Anything that comes against this right or even has the potential to change our DNA, should be avoided at all costs. One thing we know, there is a mark that is coming, but we don’t know exactly what it is except that it changes us in some way. Not only can we not be saved, but we worship the Anti-Christ whether we want to or not.
The only way we can be safe is to come out from among them. We can no longer afford to be neutral. We must defy our government and its mandates peacefully. Remember, Jesus was killed for many reasons, but one of them was political. How can we expect anything different in the end times? Our society has broken with its Christian heritage. Consequently, there is coming a day very soon, where people will no longer be able to believe what they see on TV or hear in the media and still be Christian. The false Covid narrative has already emptied our churches, and the next great “cause” will be even worse.
https://www.christianpost.com/news/fewer-churches-holding-in-person-services-than-did-last-summer.html
We who are mature in the Lord must begin to prepare those we can for this break with our society. We are now only a sub-culture or counter-culture. While we can still strive for peace, there is a war that is coming and we cannot shrink back because we are carrying the truth down to our DNA. We must continue to stand up for the Great Commission of our Lord. Just with one small change. Beware of the Mark of the Beast! Do not give up access to your body lightly. If we heed His commands, we have a promise from the Lord. He will be with us “always, even unto the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)
I hope you will join me in the coming weeks for our final article. I believe it promises to be yet another eye-opening experience as we explore the mystery of what is hidden in our foreheads, and its connection to the MOB. This is only one of the great schemes of the Devil that we hope to expose in our next article. May God grant us all the strength to be a light on a hill and a lamp for those who are looking where to step in these difficult times.

Dr. Kevan Kruse has been practicing Chiropractic in the Bay area since 1992. Educated at the University of Tampa and Life University, Kevan received a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and a Doctorate of Chiropractic. Kevan was born in Florida, but he was raised with down to earth Midwestern values. These values translate into an office that is dedicated to serving patients in a surprisingly relaxed atmosphere. Each patient is evaluated on an individual basis and treated appropriately.
Dr. Kruse is also open to multi-disciplinary approaches to health care, with his focus being primarily chiropractic and nutritional ways to help solve health problems. His fascination and extensive participation in sports makes his treatment of automobile accidents, work related injuries and sports injuries especially on-target. Dr. Kruse is married to Alexandra and they have two sons named Wiatte and Whestan. Dr. Kruse supports many local charities and attends Bell Shoals Baptist church, where he occasionally teaches classes on various topics.
Why is the church important? The church is where the friends of Jesus meet and grow. It is a hospital for those who admit they are sick and who want to get better. The church is not a building or an organization, it is just people. The church is also part of your spiritual family. Does anyone you know have a perfect family? Good, because that won’t happen in church either. You won’t like all the people there, but you will grow to love many of them. You may have to visit around some to find the right church for you, but if you work at it, you will be better for it. My church friends are one of my greatest sources or encouragement and joy.
