You see our women very interested; even all over the world, not just here, interested in the rotundity of their posterior, what they call the fundament; the woman’s bottom. You say, Pastor, why is it that women are suddenly so involved? African women have that gift already, no. Because the pattern must be created.

If this is going to become a Sodom and Gomorrah in experience, then you must have the pattern of Lot’s wife. You say, what do you mean? Lots’ wife, in leaving Sodom and Gomorrah, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt, she was translated into something like sodium bicarbonate. Now, for that pattern to be created, women have to do enlargements and augmentations of their backside, so that the emphasis for a woman today in today’s’ world, is not anterior, it’s not frontal, it’s posterior, it’s behind, so she always looks back. And in the dances, the emphasis is no longer on the beauty of a woman, and the little decorum’s that mark a lady; not at all. You have women now, who are concentrating, in whatever music styles that they have, looking backwards. You say, but, how does that relate to this? I’ll tell you.

Before the death of John the Baptist, a woman, a young girl, by the name of Salome, the daughter of Herodias, who was the wife of King Herod, danced before King Herod. Herod had married his brother, Felix’s wife, and John, as the moral voice, said; that is not acceptable. And he, became that monolith of opposition, declaring what God would expect His people to do, in obedience to the commandments, which He had given to them. Herodias had been thinking of how to eliminate John the Baptist, and then finally, satan inspired her.

And so, on the birthday celebrations, all the potentates, and the powers in that hemisphere, came to celebrate with King Herod, and she danced; that is, Salome danced, pleased Herod to such a point, he made a promise; anything you want, I’ll give, and on the counsel of her mother, she asked for the head of John the Baptist, on a platter. Herod was sorry, but there was nothing he could do, so John the Baptist was beheaded, and his head was brought on a platter.

You say, what’s the relevance? John the Baptist stood for moral perpendicularity. John the Baptist is called the baptizer, because, baptism represents death and life. When you are immersed in water, it’s a type of death, when you come out of your aquarian activities, that’s a type of resurrection. He symbolized that that is why he was called John the Baptist or the baptizer.

So he brought the evidence of spiritual death and spiritual life to Israel, and pointed to the Messiah; Jesus Christ, identifying him as the one that would lead them to the fullness of that life. Are you still here? So when you take John the Baptist out, the law of God is of none effect, it becomes law-less-ness; the mystery of iniquity, which is what you are seeing today. The mystery of iniquity simply means the secret power of lawlessness, where people are no longer controlled by the laws of God, where they have taken the Ten Commandments out of schools, nobody talks about salvation through Jesus, nobody talks about what is fundamental to the human society, as enunciated in scripture.

And so, for the reign of the antichrist to take place, Salome must dance, and that is what our women are doing today. Check your television, check your social media platforms, you will see women dancing, sometimes, even without music; Christian women inclusive. They don’t know why they’re doing it, but there is a power that is controlling them, it’s called the zeitgeist; the spirit of the age. That is what is controlling them, because the pattern must be laid, for the antichrist to come.

And so, in doing that in their dances, they must not just dance, but they must create the pattern for Sodom and Gomorrah, because, that’s what this world is likened to. Jesus said; like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, so shall it be, when the Son of Man returns. So, we are moving towards that. And so they create this atmosphere with their dances that are focused on their posterior so that they can look backwards, and the music gives the support.

And so you have this pumping African rhythmic music, provoking erotic gyrations of spasmodic differentials, all located in the female fundaments, or the posterior. So that, when the women dance like Salome, they must constantly look backwards, so that the pattern for Sodom and Gomorrah, will be engendered. Now, all these things are profound truths, and they’re worthy of all acceptation.

So, the vision, what you’re seeing is not a coincidence; it’s deliberate, conscious. Satan has energized the world, to respond in a certain way, and many people; particularly the female, they don’t know what they do. But Pastor, does it mean that all the women in the world have turned against God? The answer is absolute, NO! In the Garden of Eden, Adam named his wife Issa. When she sinned, he named her a second time, Eve. So, in that garden, there were two women; even though they’re in the same person. You have Issa, the woman of God that was created by God, led into that garden, and handed over to Adam, as his wife.

Then you have the rebellious one, Eve; who became Eve, when she worked against God, in diametrical opposition, and sold out to the devil. But, when the Lord was speaking in Genesis 3:15, He said, I will put enmity between thee and ‘the woman’, He didn’t say Eve. Because He knew that Eve is the rebellious one. So He said, I will put enmity between thee and the woman, the woman of God; Issa, who recognizes who God is, who understands who her maker is, and is in submission. That one, is the adversary of the devil, and we have them, all over the world: They are the Issa’s. The ones that you see on television, are the Eves, who are in cahoots with the enemy. Are you still here?

So, Satan has all of these things in place. But, one more thing that he must do for the pattern to be complete, is that he must get involved with baptism. You say, pastor, how does he do that, is he going to baptize people? Not at all: remember, it’s a pattern, it’s an adumbration. Question is, what is baptism? Baptism in its classical definition is the outward manifestation or demonstration of an inward grace. In other words, when you are water baptized, you are only testifying to something that has happened to you spiritually. So, the baptism is a certification or a confirmation of your new birth; did you understand that? Now, you understand where I’m going.

Not only does the devil require you to eat the GMOs’, and to take the liquid vaccine, but you must have certification, such that, without your certificate, you cannot operate in the world. So, the certification, is the pattern for the baptism, because, baptism is the physical certification of your new birth. There are some church who will issue a baptismal card or certificate: we used to do that in our church, even the church in America, where I attended, they’ll give you a certificate. That’s what it is: baptism is a certification or confirmation of your new birth.

And so, it’s not enough that you have taken the vaccine, and that you eat the GMOs’, but you must have a certificate, that will represent water baptism, as a certification of your communion with satan. Once you do that, then the pattern is complete, and satan can begin his operation. That is why governments all over the world, promulgate decrees and enact laws, compelling citizens, not only to receiving the vaccine, and eat GMOs’, but to have certification, because, once those two patterns are established, satan can release the power into the world, to create the platform for his son, the antichrist, who will come with the number 6-6-6, see.

But I didn’t come here to scare you, not at all. What you need to understand, is that, while they were proposing of this whole issue, God had already disposed of it. Because there is power, and there is ‘POWER’- I’m trying to control myself from indulging in the prolixity of religious emotionalism, so I’m going to advise myself to be calm, so that I can continue to maintain this conversational approach.

You need to understand, that the God with whom we have to do. He calls Himself, the Pantokrator. When He met with John in the isle of Patmos, there are two revelations in that manifestation in the isle of Patmos. You have the horizontal revelation between Him and John, standing on the ground, and the vertical revelation, when John ascends into the heavenly places, to see things for the church, and it’s complete. But what I want you to see, is that, when Jesus appeared in the isle of Patmos, John didn’t even recognize him, because, what you have there, is the epitome, the manifestation, the acme, the apogee, the culmination of the Melchizedek priesthood, where His head is white as snow; like wool, His hair, the same colour, His eyes, a flame of fire. Because the Melchizedek priesthood does not need to hold a physical sword.

The power is now in His mouth. His feet are on the ground; He’s wearing no shoes, to show that this is the God-man: The apotheosis of the Lord Jesus Christ; the deification of Jesus, the God who became man, the man who became God; one and the same.
His feet are in the colour of brass; like burning brass, ten, standing again, with the authority that God had given to man. Brass signifies judgment, and He called Himself the Pantokrator. That word, I cannot even articulate to you, in trying to gain a spiritual construct of what that is all about.

Let me pause there, and go to Ephesians chapter 1. When Paul is writing to the church at Ephesus, and he’s trying to communicate the amplitudes of God’s power, the immensity of that power, he cannot find the right words that adequately describe them, the power that was exercised to raise Jesus from the dead, which is now made to Christians, to believers, because the power is now in earthen vessels, that the excellency of that power may be of God, not of men. Are you still here? In the nineteenth verse, he uses the words … Let me just quote that; “And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to usward who believe, according to that workings of His mighty power…”.

That verse is called a ‘hapax legomenon’, that means it cannot be found anywhere else in the Bible. You say why? Because, within that verse, the four Greek words that translate power, are found. You see power ramified into compartmentalizations; four of them. And what is the exceeding: The word exceeding, is the translation of the Greek word, ‘hyperballo’. It simply means, to throw beyond a target. Paul says, what I’m about to tell you, the power that I’m about to describe to you, cannot be quantified. It’s not a power that can be apprehended by the finite cerebral capacity of mankind.

So, what he’s saying, is that if you can target the power, what I am saying to you, is beyond it, because, hyperballo means to throw beyond a target: It means, I cannot describe it.

As long as you can target it, the power is far beyond it. Is it the intercontinental ballistic missile, is it all the bombs that this world can create. Think of any power; spiritual, physical, metaphysical, in heaven, on earth, under the earth. If you can target that power, what I’m talking about, Paul says, is far beyond it. Hyperballo; to throw beyond a target, when it comes to the power that God has made available to you the believer, to you, the Christian, and to you, who can become a believer. Are you still here?
Then he says; “What is the exceeding greatness…”.

The word greatness there is the word megethos. It’s talking about the dimensions, the amplitudes. What is the exceeding; the hyperballo megethos … Greatness that cannot be quantified by your wildest imagination of phantasmagoria; it’s not possible; beyond anything that is imaginable. “What is the exceeding greatness of His power…”, the Greek word; Dynamis. That’s the first power. What is the exceeding greatness, Dynamis, “ … to usward who believe, according to the working …”, is the second power; Energeia, “… According to the working of His mighty …”, is the Greek word; Kratos. Then the last word, power; Ischys.

Those four words found in the New Testament, describing power, encapsulated in one verse, trying to describe to you, that which can’t be described. That’s just what it is. (Let me let it go, because, like I said, I must maintain a certain decorum in this conversation). We are talking about the indefatigability of Gods’ workability, that’s the only way I can put it.

So, that’s what he was telling John in the isle of Patmos when He appeared to him. He said; “I Am the first and the last, the Almighty”; Pantokrator. Pan; the totality, Kratos; power. Kratos is unique in itself because Kratos is the power that is visible, that you can see. So, what He’s telling John, any power that is cognitive, that you can recognize, in any dimension, in science, in occultism, witchcraft, name it. Any kind of power, derives from one source, that’s why it’s called Pantokrator.

It comes from one place; all of them come from one place; the Lord Jesus Christ. Not only is He the source, but He’s also the originator and the distributor, and the divider of that power. The power that Satan wields today, he did not originate. It was given to him, he perverts it, and he uses it because he knows that the gifts and the callings of God are without repentance; He won’t change until the judgment is eventually delivered concerning him.

So, any power; the power of witchcraft … Any power. Because it is that power that holds the universe together. “… By Him, all things consist”. That’s what Paul was talking about in Colossians; “…That in all things, He might become; being first”. He’s not just the firstborn from the dead, He’s the originator of life, he is the creator of the church, He’s not just the head of the church, He’s the originator of the church, He’s the source of the church. From eternity, He entered into time, that’s why He’s called; Supremus Caput Christianitatis; the supreme head of Christianity. Martin Luther, called Him, The Sheblemene, the One who sits at the right hand of the Majesty on High. So, be not afraid.
