The global government derives its power and authority from the cunning serpent who rules over the beast.

Genesis 3:1

“Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” Genesis 3:1

The serpent was the most cunning and sly of all the beasts of the field. It was a tool for Satan, who disguises himself as an angel of light. He used the persuasive serpent as his tool. “And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15

The serpent knew that God had given the command not to eat from every tree to Adam before Eve joined him as his wife. Eve only heard the command from Adam, not from God directly, when the serpent questioned her about it. As quoted, “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” Genesis 2:16-18

Many people worldwide may know something about God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, but they lack a connection with them in their spirit and soul. This is like Eve, who only heard God’s word from Adam and not from God Himself. They are susceptible to the modern serpent’s false persuasion, which pretends to be an angel of light and whose followers disguise themselves as righteous ministers. We need to listen to God directly through the Gospel of Christ with ears attuned to the Holy Spirit.

The modern serpent, more cunning than any beast, is Satan’s instrument today. It takes over the human nature’s beastly side and rules by appealing to its instincts. The image and mark of the beast serve this purpose. They are like a leash on the fleshly beast. In this world, an entity gives people what to feel, think, say, and do. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city across the globe. The mark of the beast is like a shackle that binds people to the sway of the modern serpent. The global government derives its power and authority from the cunning serpent who rules over the beast.

The global government may claim to restrain the beastly instincts of humanity, but in reality, it is using the beast as a tool to govern the masses. This is the essence of the government of the beast. People’s thoughts and emotions are dictated to suppress their carnal instincts, rendering their human conscience useless. This leads to the emergence of traits of psychopathy in every city across the globe.

The people of the beast’s global culture are self-centered and feel empowered as they exalt their own will above the authority of God the Creator. They do not experience guilt or remorse and reject the idea that they are sinners who need Jesus Christ to forgive their sins. They treat the Holy Spirit as a thing to be controlled, exploited, coerced, and destroyed. Lawlessness and anti-social behavior pervade the world, showing no empathy for human beings.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
