Dominating Our Lives

Sin is never happy unless it gains full control because sin’s ongoing and ultimate desire is to be catered to as god. To that end, it must eventually gain control of the entire person it lives within and then reaches to others beyond itself.

When you get a whole group of people who are controlled by sin and self, together they seek to control all other people. It’s what happens when sin seeks to gain dominance and we see a perfect example of that with Nimrod (Genesis 11). Let’s go way back to the beginning and then come forward to today and “tomorrow,” which is in the very near future.

Some time after God had finished His Creation, one of his chief angels – Lucifer – chose to follow self and rebel against God to go his own way. As I’ve mentioned before, Satan promised himself that in the process, he would become “like the Most High” (Isaiah 14:14). This goes back to the very beginning following God’s creative efforts and it also clearly happened after God had declared that His entire Creation was good. However, God also knew the risks of creating beings with a will to choose their own direction.

So Lucifer fell and became known as Satan. Not content to simply having a permanent falling out from God, Satan desired to be like (or equal to) God, which ostensibly meant that Satan would come to a point where he would literally be a threat to God in who ruled God’s Creation. Since then, Satan has been trying everything he could to destroy God, to prove Him to be a liar and to essentially overthrow God, replacing Him. Fortunately, we know how the story finally ends and even though we must deal with the often terrible ramifications of Satan’s efforts to control this world, Satan’s days are numbered.

However, it wasn’t just Satan who fell and immediately sought to rule the world. According to the Bible (along with the Book of Enoch, the Book of Giants and Book of Jasher), other angelic beings followed in Satan’s footsteps. They apparently were not fully enamored with living within the perfection of God’s realm. Can you imagine that? These angelic beings chose to venture out on their own for their own purposes.

The Bible speaks of fallen angels in Genesis 6 who came to this earth and found a way to mate with daughters of men (women). This fall of those angelic beings and their co-habitation with women resulted in giants (nephilim) being born on the earth. This created huge problems for humanity. Adam and Eve had already sinned (as Satan had sinned), and allowed the earth to become corrupted because of their sin, which passed onto every human being born either directly by Eve or all of her offspring (Romans 5:12-21). However, what the angelic beings did furthered corruption throughout the Creation far more quickly.

When those particular angels fell in Genesis 6 and took up somehow with human women, sin already existed. However, notice immediately after the giants (nephilim), were born, the earth exploded with wickedness.

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. (Genesis 6:5 NIV)

The text seems to imply that it was the birth of giants (nephilim), that made everything far worse than it had been prior. All people (including nephilim), living on the earth pushed the degree of evil and corruption to the extreme. The Book of Enoch takes pains to explain exactly what happened. Again, that book is not to be considered authoritative as Scripture is authoritative and there is great disagreement over whether it’s even genuinely written by the Enoch. I think it’s a very good possibility that it is authentic mainly because of the fact that it is either quoted or referred to in Scripture several times by different authors.

I tend to treat The Book of Enoch like a good, factual history book, recording details of people and events and flushing things out a bit more for us. At the least, it is a very interesting read.

So according to books of antiquity, the first angel to come to earth to do his own thing was an angel named Azazel, who seemed to want his own little kingdom on earth. He “fell” to earth for the express purpose of going off somewhere by himself and trying to create things in his own image. In essence, he took a wife (or wives), found a way to impregnate (or genetically modify), so that the wives would give birth to beings after the likeness of Azazel. He also is said to have genetically modified some of the animals by cross-breeding things to create completely new animals. Now granted, unlike God who created ex nihilo (from nothing), Azazel had to use what already existed. Is this where we get some of the mythology within many cultures that talk about a Pegasus, centaur, satyr and many other mythological animals? We will likely never know in this life. However, it is clear that God did not save every species of animal in the Ark. He saved only certain animals, didn’t He? Why?

By the way, in the Complete Jewish Bible version of Leviticus 16, Azazel is mentioned.

(Aharon – “Aaron”) is to take the two goats and place them before Adonai at the entrance to the tent of meeting. Then (Aaron) is to present the goat whose lot fell to Adonai and offer it as a sin offering. But the goat whose lot fell to Azazel is to be presented alive to Adonai to be used for making atonement over it by sending it away into the desert for Azazel. (vv 7-10)

I find that interesting. The ESV also uses the name “Azazel” in the text. The NIV uses the term, “scapegoat.”

So Azazel came to the earth (fell), and endeavored to create his own “kingdom” after his own likeness. Again, sin seeks to control and to be at the top of the chain so that it becomes the object of worship. This is simply the way sin works and it works this way in all human beings and certainly also in those angelic beings who rebelled. Don’t forget, aside from Azazel (and the 200 “watchers” – angels – who came after Azazel), Satan also managed to convince 1/3 of the angelic host to follow him in his rebellion (Revelation 12:3-4). That is the risk of creating beings with a free will. They will always choose against God and for themselves. Always (cf. 1 Timothy 5:21).

Of course God knew this but since angels are not made in God’s image, there is no salvation available for them once fallen. Isn’t it wonderful that God had the foresight to create human beings in His image, thereby making us salvageable via Christ’s life, death and resurrection?

So after Azazel, two hundred other angels (BoE calls them watchers), also came down to earth. They were originally tasked with simply watching and recording what humanity did. Instead, they chose to become intimately involved in humanity’s affairs after seeing Azazel do what he did without repercussions from God.

In the BoE, chapters 6-16, we read of how the watchers descended (6), how giants were born to the women they took as wives (7), and how they taught humanity all sorts of things they probably should not have taught them (8). These were not necessarily bad things, however, the emphasis and use of these things were wrong.

In BoE chapter 8, we learn that Azazel taught humans how “to make swords, knives, shields, and armor from the metals of the earth. He taught the women how to see behind them (mirrors), how to make bracelets, ornaments, and other kinds of jewelry using precious stones and the beautifying of the eyes with makeup of various colors. This led them astray into fornication and ungodliness and they became corrupt in all their ways.”[1] Other angels taught other things to people.

So it wasn’t simply sin itself that pushed humanity to become vile, corrupt and evil in all their ways. They were pushed along with help from fallen angels who clearly understood how many things worked and passed that information onto human beings.

It’s not hard to imagine what humans did with the knowledge of weaponry or what women achieved through the use of adornments and make up. In essence, everything became focused on Self completely. The more people focused on self, the greater the indecency and wickedness became. With the help of fallen angels, the downward spiral of fallen human beings became much greater and quicker in a far shorter period of time. If left to themselves, humans may have figured out some of these things by themselves but it likely would have taken many, many generations for that to happen.

It’s similar to the technology we have today. Some group of fallen angels could have simply given that information to humanity or we had to wait until it could simply and naturally evolve from great minds. Unfortunately, because of humanity’s fallen nature, we are arriving to a point that equals what occurred pre-flood. All of humanity is becoming thoroughly corrupted and there will be no choice except for God to send judgment (wrath) as He did during Noah’s day, in which He destroyed the contents of the entire earth except those in the Ark.

As Satan sought to gain control of the entire earth, so too did the angels of Genesis 6 seek to control as much as they could, even to the point of having offspring from their own genetic line. The result of this was a unique line of angelic/human beings, many of whom were truly gigantic in proportion. In the process, the pure human genome was destroyed. Is that coming around again?

Anecdotal evidence suggests to us that Og of Bashan was quite possibly about 10-12 feet tall based on the measurements of his bed (Deuteronomy 3:11; 13.5′ x 6′).

Og king of Bashan was one of the last of this race of giants. Goliath, the giant who fought David, was likely another. Og and his sons all lost their lives in their foolish opposition to God’s people (Numbers 21:35). Despite King Og’s great size and strength, God gave Israel’s army the victory, and they possessed the land of Bashan. The half-tribe of Manasseh inherited Og’s territory (Joshua 13:29–30).[2]

So segue to 2024 and what do we have? We have people who have given themselves willingly over to their own sin and the desires that stem from it. Today’s globalists, who are controlled by Satan’s desire to gain mastery over all of society and this earth, are doing all they can to also gain control of global society, including messing with the human genome via mRNA jabs and other things.

Annually, the World Economic Forum (WEF) meets at Davos to outline ways in which they seek to implement full control over all people and institutions. Without that, they cannot gain full control.

The WEF continues to push for the major reduction (“net zero”) of what it calls “harmful” CO2 emissions. This is absolute nonsense but they soldier on, ignoring any scientist who disagrees with them.

Beyond this, they push their CBDCs (digital currencies), which they admit will make it difficult for the average person to have any privacy and CBDCs will amount to full control of how we spend our money.

Moreover, the WEF wants a fusion of machine and man so that human beings can become whatever they want us to become and also destroying the pure human genome along the way. Again, this is essentially what the fallen angels of Genesis 6 did, which is one of the reasons God had to destroy everyone except Noah and his family.

Sin corrupts and the more sin is obeyed, the greater loss of freedom and ability to seek God until a point of no return is reached. Because of the efforts of the fallen angels, the human genome was fully corrupted and irredeemable. We are quickly moving to a point in the future where the exact same situation will exist. Is there any reason to think that God would not send His wrath in the form of judgment because of it, as He did thousands of years ago during Noah’s day?

Once the human genome is irredeemably corrupted/adulterated, all hope of salvation is gone for that person. This is exactly what it means regarding the coming mark of the beast in Revelation 14:9-11. Anyone taking it means all hope is gone.

And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath…’

It is always about control; absolute and total control and ultimately, sin seeks and too often gains full control leading people to hell. This is what globalists are pushing for through The Who and their goals to fully enslave the entire world through the IHR treaty.[3]

While Tedros, Schwab and other globalists use lies, deception and subterfuge to allay any fears the world might have of their intentions, it’s clear that if nations sign onto The Who’s treaty, they will lose their sovereignty. Revelation 13 & 14 will ultimately become a reality, with the mark ushering in a unique totalitarian global society that few will escape. This is inevitably where sin leads. It destroys freedom, recreates humanity in Satan’s image and gains full control. Once that goal is reached, the chance of receiving salvation plummets to zero.
