End of All Things - Session 2

This is the second of four messages Pastor Doug Riggs gave in his interviews with GeorgeAnn Hughes in her podcast, The ByteShow, in December 2010 – January 2011.
Here are my notes:
o Doug brings us up to speed on some of the amazing technology that is emerging – the very same kinds of technology we read about in Genesis 6 and how God brought judgment on the human race then – and soon again He will deal with what is again threatening to so alter the human race to make it no longer human. That judgment was by water – the next will be by fire.
o “Man will reach a certain point called singularity – that is the confluence of all these various technologies – (which) will result in a paradigm shift whereas artificial intelligence will exceed the intelligence of the programmer, its creator, man.” (WoW!!! We hear that day after day on the news today about the warnings of A.I. … 12 years after Doug shared this!)
o As the serpent tempted Eve in the garden with a pathway to be like God, this promise continues to this day utilizing the technology of transhumanism and human enhancement.
o “We’re laggards of the species, and if we don’t go along with their agenda and move forward to their ‘new man’, Homo Noeticus, Adam Kadmon, then they will have a right to remove us, because we’re not going along with the evolutionary process to perfection.”
o The believed name of the Antichrist: Apollyon Nimrod Alexander. Apollyon = destruction; chaos; economic and societal collapse. “Satan is planning a false flag operation. During this chaos… there will be ‘bad aliens’ and the ‘good aliens’ so called. And in the time of Disclosure and in chaos, the ‘good aliens’ will come according to the Raëlians; who are these aliens? They are called ‘the Elohim’. ‘You shall be like Elohim knowing good and evil,’ Satan said. They have come to rescue mankind; they are the Elohim; they have come to show us how to attain Elohim-status. This is one of the scenarios of the whole alien deception.” Doug later in this message states, “The rapture of the church is a rescue from this false flag.”
o “They already have the technology for these (‘alien’) ships; (SRA) survivors are being flown to rituals all over the world – they can be anywhere in the world in fifteen minutes. The technology is there.”
o The Nephilim hybrids are using UAPs (UFOs) as their means of transportation. They have a symbiotic connection to the craft and able to maneuver them with mind control; they use the craft for abducting people for genetic engineering, splicing, and creation of part-human creatures (i.e.: chimeras) and transporting SRA survivors to rituals around the world.
o Prior to the rapture, “there’s going to be a final assault upon the church.”
o “When the church is removed, the restraining ministry of the Holy Spirit is removed, then Psalm 2: 3 can be fulfilled” where they say, “Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!”
o “The church cannot be here on earth while those that are following Antichrist, and are under the deception of Satan and the Antichrist, are saying, ‘Peace and safety.’ You can’t have followers of Antichrist saying, ‘Peace and safety’, with the body of Christ here.”
o “Once Apollyon has unleashed his assault on the seed of Christ (Isaiah 53:10), then the church, those ‘who are alive and survive’, will be rescued.”
o Doug does a deep dive into the actual translation of the phrases we read in 1 Thessalonians 4:15 and 17, “we who are alive and remain” so we can understand who exactly is the Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul referring to as those who will be raptured. It is to be better understood as “those who are the living ones, those who are the surviving remnant”. To back up his claim, Doug reads from an exhaustive Greek theological dictionary that explains this.
o As Doug explains the use of the word remnant in scriptures, and considering the end of the church age just prior to the rapture of the church, he says, “There is a process of reduction that leaves only a remnant.”
o “A lot of people have very much resisted the rapture doctrine because they say it just puts people to sleep – ‘We don’t have to worry about what’s coming upon us; we don’t need to be concerned; we can basically be asleep because the rapture’s going to save us.”
o “Prior to the rapture, this false flag – this pseudo Armageddon – resulting in the removal of that which is the restraint – and then they’ll be saying, ‘Peace and safety.’”
o “The church has its own tribulation before Israel and the nations have their tribulation.”
o “’To wait longingly and expectantly for His Son from heaven’ – that is a characteristic of a remnant.”
o “God’s biggest problem – and our biggest problem – is our strength, not our weakness.”
