Death to All Forms of SELF

OUR FINAL BATTLE: SELF OR CHRIST

An Investigative Report on the End of the Age

A comprehensive examination of biblical prophecy, current world events, and the ultimate decision facing humanity

After extensive research combining biblical prophecy, technological developments, geopolitical events, and scriptural analysis, this investigation has reached a startling conclusion: We are witnessing the final countdown to the end of the age as prophesied in Scripture.

The central revelation: Entrance into the Kingdom of God requires the complete death of SELF. Every teaching of Jesus Christ, every parable, every conversation points to this singular truth: You can serve SELF or you can serve CHRIST—there is no third option.

This report documents:

The biblical foundation of SELF vs. CHRIST as the only choice

How current technology enables prophetic fulfillment NOW

The infrastructure for the Mark of the Beast system (operational and ready)

The identity of Mystery Babylon (religious-political fusion in America)

The convergence of power structures preparing for post-rapture control

Why the Harpazo (rapture) appears imminent

The final choice every human must make

Key Finding: The technological, political, financial, and spiritual infrastructure for the Tribulation period is complete. Only the rapture of the Church remains before the final seven years begin.

THE THEOLOGICAL FOUNDATION

The Two Trees—The Choice From the Beginning

Genesis 2:9, 16-17 (NASB):

“Out of the ground the LORD God caused every tree to grow that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil… but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for on the day that you eat from it you will certainly die.”

From the very beginning, God presented humanity with a choice between two trees:

THE TREE OF LIFE = CHRIST

Dependence on God as source
Eternal life through relationship
Trust and obedience
God’s wisdom and sustenance

THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL = SELF

Independence from God
Autonomy and self-determination
“You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5)
SELF as the ultimate authority

Jesus identifies Himself as the Tree of Life:

John 6:35 (NASB):

“Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.’”

John 15:1, 5 (NASB):

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser… I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.”

Revelation 22:14 (NASB):

“Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.”

FINDING: The tree of life is not a botanical entity—it is CHRIST HIMSELF. Access to eternal life comes only through eating from Him, depending entirely on Him.

Chapter 2: The Birth of SELF—The Original Sin

Genesis 3:4-6 (NASB):

“The serpent said to the woman, ‘You certainly will not die! For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will become like God, knowing good and evil.’ When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate”

The serpent’s promise: “You will be like God”—complete autonomy, SELF-sufficiency, SELF-determination, SELF-worship.

The three components of SELF:

1 John 2:16 (NASB):

“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.”

“Good for food” = lust of the flesh (satisfying SELF)

“Delight to the eyes” = lust of the eyes (pleasing SELF)

“Desirable to make wise” = pride of life (exalting SELF)

Satan is the father of SELF:

Isaiah 14:13-14 (NASB): (Lucifer’s fall)

“But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly… I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’”

Five “I WILL” statements = the essence of SELF-worship

John 8:44 (NASB):

“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

FINDING: Satan did not offer Eve a piece of fruit—he offered her SELF-worship. The Fall was humanity choosing SELF over dependence on God. Every sin since flows from this root.

All Sin is SELF—The Root of Lawlessness

Romans 14:23 (NASB):

“But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.”

Sin defined: Whatever does not proceed from faith in God = acting from SELF rather than trust in Him.

James 4:1-3 (NASB):

“What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members? You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel.”

All conflict = SELF seeking its own

Philippians 2:3 (NASB):

“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves”

The catalog of SELF’s fruit:

Galatians 5:19-21 (NASB):

“Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these”

Every item on this list = SELF acting independently from God

FINDING: All wickedness, rebellion, and lawlessness flows from one source: SELF exalting itself against God. Satan didn’t create new sins—he simply taught humanity to worship SELF.

SELF Must Die—The Non-Negotiable Requirement

John 12:24-25 (NASB):

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.”

Jesus’s teaching is unambiguous:

“Loves his life” (loves SELF) = loses eternal life
“Hates his life” (hates SELF) = gains eternal life

Luke 14:26 (NASB):

“If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.”

Not hatred of people, but hatred of SELF—even “his own life” which is the ultimate SELF.

Matthew 16:24-25 (NASB):

“Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.’”

Three requirements:

“Deny himself” = Deny SELF
“Take up his cross” = Die to SELF daily
“Follow Me” = Christ becomes Lord, SELF is dethroned

Galatians 2:20 (NASB):

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”

Paul’s testimony:

“No longer I” = SELF is dead
“Christ lives in me” = His life has replaced mine
“I live by faith” = Not by SELF-effort but by dependence

FINDING: Death to SELF is not optional, not recommended, not ideal—it is THE absolute requirement for entry into the Kingdom of God. No exceptions.

Ananias and Sapphira—When SELF Infects the Church

Acts 5:1-11 (NASB):

“But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, and kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife’s full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, ‘Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.’ And as he heard these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last… Now there elapsed an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in… And immediately she fell at his feet and breathed her last”

The critical issue was not the money—it was SELF hiding in “good deeds.”

What they did:

Sold property (appeared generous)

Gave portion to church (appeared sacrificial)

Kept some back for SELF (hidden self-preservation)

Lied about it (SELF’s deceit)

Wanted credit for full surrender without actual surrender

Peter’s question: “While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own?”

The revelation: They were NEVER the owners. God owns everything. Humans own NOTHING.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NASB):

“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.”

“You are not your own” = Zero ownership by SELF

Why immediate death?

Ananias and Sapphira attempted to infect the early church with SELF—to establish the principle that you could serve Christ while preserving SELF. God had to remove them to protect the Church from contamination.

Acts 5:11 (NASB):

“And great fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard of these things.”

The message: SELF cannot coexist with the Holy Spirit. The church learned: Total surrender is not optional.

FINDING: God will not tolerate SELF masquerading as godliness. Hidden self-preservation, even in the midst of “good works,” is deadly. We are stewards, not owners. SELF has no place in the Kingdom.

Stewards, Not Owners—Slaves to Righteousness

Luke 17:10 (NASB):

“So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’”

1 Corinthians 4:2 (NASB):

“In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy.”

Humans are stewards, not owners:

God owns everything (Psalm 24:1)
We manage what belongs to Him
We will give account for our stewardship
SELF claims ownership; faith acknowledges God’s ownership

Romans 6:16-18, 22 (NASB):

“Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?… But having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness… But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.”

The only two options:

Slaves to SIN (which is SELF) → Death

Slaves to RIGHTEOUSNESS (which is Christ) → Life

There is no third category of “free agents” or “independent contractors.”

John 8:34 (NASB):

“Jesus answered them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.’”

SELF believes it is free. In reality, SELF is enslaved to sin and Satan.

John 8:36 (NASB):

“So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.”

True freedom = death to SELF, slavery to Christ

FINDING: Satan and SELF made us slaves to SIN. Jesus offers to make us slaves to RIGHTEOUSNESS. There is no autonomous “self-ownership.” The question is only: Who is your master?

Noah and the Cleansing of SELF from the Earth

Genesis 6:5, 11-13 (NASB):

“Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually… Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. Then God said to Noah, ‘The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.’”

Why the flood was necessary:

Genesis 6:3 (NASB):

“Then the LORD said, ‘My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.’”

“All flesh had corrupted their way”—genetic and spiritual corruption was complete. SELF, empowered by demonic influence (Nephilim), had contaminated all humanity.

Except Noah:

Genesis 6:9 (NASB):

“Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.”

“Blameless” (Hebrew: tamim) = complete, whole, without defect, genetically pure

Noah’s line had not been corrupted by SELF’s alliance with fallen angels. His flesh was still fully human, still bearing God’s image uncorrupted.

The flood = God’s cleansing of SELF from the earth

Water washed away all flesh that had been given over completely to SELF. Only those who walked with God (died to SELF) were preserved.

FINDING: The flood was God’s judgment on a world completely dominated by SELF. Noah was saved because he walked with God—he had died to SELF. The pattern: God will not tolerate a world ruled by SELF indefinitely.

The Coming Cleansing by Fire

2 Peter 3:5-7, 10-13 (NASB):

“For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men… But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up… But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.”

The pattern:

First cleansing: WATER (removed SELF-dominated flesh)

Second cleansing: FIRE (will remove all SELF, lawlessness, wickedness)

Malachi 3:2-3 (NASB):

“But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness.”

Fire purifies:

Burns away dross (SELF)
Purifies precious metal (Christ in us)
Refines until only pure gold remains

Revelation 21:27 (NASB):

“and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

Matthew 3:11-12 (NASB):

“As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I… He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

Wheat = those who died to SELF, filled with Christ
Chaff = SELF without substance, separated and burned

FINDING: Jesus is about to cleanse the earth with FIRE, just as God cleansed it with water in Noah’s day. All forms of SELF, lawlessness, and wickedness—which are the results of Satan and Babylon—will be burned away. Only that which is pure (Christ in us) will remain.

Babylon—The Kingdom of SELF

Genesis 11:4 (NASB): (Tower of Babel)

“They said, ‘Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.’”

The Babylon spirit:

“For ourselves” (appears twice) = SELF-focus

“Make for ourselves a name” = SELF-glorification

“Tower… to heaven” = SELF reaching toward God’s domain

“Otherwise we will be scattered” = SELF-preservation

God’s response: Scattered them—judgment on corporate SELF-exaltation

Revelation 17:5 (NASB):

“and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery: ‘BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.’”

Babylon = the world system built on SELF:

Commerce for SELF-enrichment
Politics for SELF-aggrandizement
Religion mixed with politics for SELF-justification
Culture celebrating SELF-expression
Technology enabling SELF-deification

Isaiah 47:8, 10 (NASB): (Judgment on Babylon)

“Now, then, hear this, you sensual one, Who dwells securely, Who says in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one besides me’… You felt secure in your wickedness and said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge, they have deluded you; For you have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one besides me.’”

“I AM, and there is no one besides me”—Babylon claims God’s own name (Exodus 3:14: “I AM”) for SELF.

Revelation 18:7-8 (NASB):

“To the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.’ For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong.”

Babylon’s judgment = complete destruction of SELF’s kingdom

FINDING: Babylon is not merely a geographical location or political system—it is humanity’s attempt to build a kingdom based on SELF-worship, SELF-glorification, and independence from God. Every expression of SELF contributes to Babylon. God will destroy it completely.

GOD’S SOVEREIGN PLAN

The Plan From Before Creation

Ephesians 1:4-5, 11 (NASB):

“just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will… also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will”

The plan of salvation existed before time began.

Revelation 13:8 (NASB):

“All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain.”

Even Christ’s sacrifice was planned before creation.

Acts 2:23 (NASB):

“this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.”

2 Timothy 1:9 (NASB):

“who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity”

The eternal plan:

God foreknew who would be His

Predestined them to be conformed to Christ’s image

Called them at the appointed time

Justified them through Christ

Will glorify them in His presence

Romans 8:29-30 (NASB):

“For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.”

FINDING: Nothing happening now is a surprise to God. The entire plan—creation, fall, redemption, judgment, restoration—was established before the foundation of the world. History is the unfolding of God’s predetermined plan.

Satan—The Perfect Tool and Defeated Pawn

Job 1:12 (NASB):

“Then the LORD said to Satan, ‘Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not put forth your hand on him.’ So Satan departed from the presence of the LORD.”

Satan operates only by God’s permission—he is on a leash.

Luke 22:31-32 (NASB):

“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail”

Satan must ask permission. Jesus intercedes for His own.

Acts 4:27-28 (NASB):

“For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur.”

Even Christ’s murderers fulfilled God’s predetermined plan.

Genesis 50:20 (NASB): (Joseph to his brothers)

“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.”

Romans 8:28 (NASB):

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”

Even Satan’s attacks accomplish God’s purposes for His children.

Colossians 2:15 (NASB):

“When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.”

1 John 3:8 (NASB):

“the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.”

Satan’s “kingdom” was already defeated at the cross:

John 12:31 (NASB):

“Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.”

FINDING: Satan failed perfectly as planned. He thought he was winning by corrupting humanity through SELF-worship. In reality, he provided the perfect backdrop for God’s grace to shine. He is a defeated tool in God’s sovereign hand, accomplishing God’s purposes while thinking he opposes them.

Six Thousand Years of SELF, One Thousand Years of Christ

2 Peter 3:8 (NASB):

“But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.”

The pattern of creation:

6 days of work
7th day of rest

The pattern of human history:

~6,000 years under Satan’s influence (SELF ruling)

1,000 years of Christ’s reign (Millennial Kingdom)

From Adam to Christ: ~4,000 years

From Christ to present: ~2,000 years

Total: ~6,000 years of human history under the curse

Revelation 20:4, 6-7 (NASB):

“Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years… Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years. When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison”

The Millennial Kingdom:

Christ rules with iron rod (Revelation 19:15)
Believers reign with Him as co-rulers
Satan bound for 1,000 years
Righteousness fills the earth
Death to SELF is complete among believers

Isaiah 11:9 (NASB):

“They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea.”

FINDING: Human history follows God’s pattern. Six “days” (6,000 years) of toil under SELF’s curse, followed by the seventh “day” (1,000 years) of rest under Christ’s rule. We appear to be at the end of the sixth day.

We Are the Father’s Children, Given to Jesus

John 6:37, 39 (NASB):

“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out… This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.”

John 10:27-29 (NASB):

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.”

John 17:6, 9, 12, 24 (NASB): (Jesus praying)

“I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word… I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours… While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished… Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.”

The chain of custody:

Father chose us before creation (Ephesians 1:4)

Father gave us to the Son (John 17:6)

Son keeps us, loses none (John 6:39)

Son will raise us on the last day (John 6:40)

We will be with Him forever (John 17:24)

Romans 8:38-39 (NASB):

“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

FINDING: Believers are not accidents or volunteers—we are the Father’s gift to the Son. Jesus is the faithful one who will not lose even one. Our security rests not on our grip on Him, but on His grip on us.

THE ONLY REQUIREMENT—DEATH TO SELF

Childlike Dependence—The Anti-SELF

Matthew 18:3-4 (NASB):

“and said, ‘Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.’”

What children represent:

Total dependence (no SELF-sufficiency)

Complete trust (no SELF-reliance)

Humble acknowledgment of need (no SELF-righteousness)

Receptivity (no SELF-wisdom)

Submission to father’s authority (no SELF-rule)

Luke 18:16-17 (NASB):

“But Jesus called for them, saying, ‘Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.’”

“Like a child” = the opposite of SELF

An infant:

Cannot feed itself (dependent on parent)

Cannot clothe itself (receives provision)

Cannot protect itself (trusts parent’s protection)

Cannot understand but trusts (faith without full comprehension)

Has nothing to offer (no merit, no achievement)

1 Peter 2:2 (NASB):

“like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation”

Matthew 11:25 (NASB):

“At that time Jesus said, ‘I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.’”

SELF says: “I am wise, capable, sufficient”

Faith says: “I am a helpless infant; You are my everything”

FINDING: The kingdom belongs to those who have died to SELF-sufficiency and become like helpless infants—totally dependent on the Father. This is the antithesis of SELF.

Chapter 15: We Can Do NOTHING—Like a Dead Man

John 15:5 (NASB):

“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.”

“Apart from Me you can do NOTHING”—not “very little,” but NOTHING of eternal value.

Romans 7:18 (NASB):

“For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.”

Ephesians 2:1 (NASB):

“And you were dead in your trespasses and sins”

Dead people:

Cannot move themselves (no power)

We conclude that humanity is at a critical juncture, witnessing the final countdown to the end of the age as prophesied in Scripture.

The central revelation is that entrance into the Kingdom of God necessitates the complete death of "SELF," emphasizing that there is no middle ground between serving "SELF" and serving "CHRIST."

Our deep biblical dive details how current technological and geopolitical events align with biblical prophecy, highlighting the infrastructure for the "Mark of the Beast" system and the identity of "Mystery Babylon."

Our findings asserts that the technological, political, financial, and spiritual preparations for the Tribulation period are complete, with only the rapture of the Church remaining.

The theological foundation is built upon the choice between the "Tree of Life" (Christ) and the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" (SELF), tracing the origin of sin to humanity's decision to worship "SELF" over dependence on God. I argue the bible declares that all sin stems from "SELF" exalting itself against God, and that death to "SELF" is an absolute, non-negotiable requirement for salvation.

I used Biblical examples like Ananias and Sapphira to illustrate God's intolerance for "SELF" masquerading as godliness within the Church, and the flood in Noah's day as God's judgment on a world dominated by "SELF." The Bible, cover to cover warns of a coming cleansing by fire that will remove all forms of "SELF," lawlessness, and wickedness.

Furthermore, I documented "Babylon" as the kingdom of "SELF," a world system built on self-worship and independence from God, which God will utterly destroy. I emphasize God's sovereign plan, established before creation, in which Satan is merely a defeated tool unknowingly accomplishing God's purposes.

Finally, I point out that human history follows a pattern of 6,000 years under "SELF's" curse, followed by 1,000 years of Christ's reign. The Bible concludse that believers are God's chosen children, given to Jesus, and their security rests on His unwavering grip.

The ultimate requirement for entry into the Kingdom is childlike dependence on the Father, representing the antithesis of "SELF-sufficiency," as "apart from Me you can do nothing."
