WRITTEN BY JOSEPH HERRIN (15-11-2023)
Revelation 12:15
And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood.
The book of Revelation conveys truth through symbolism. The serpent is symbolic of Satan. He is also called the dragon, which is a type of winged serpent.
Revelation 12:9
And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world…
The apostle Paul refers to Satan as “the prince of the power of the air.” His power is in deception. What is being symbolized in Revelation is Satan deceiving the world through a mass of lies. He is using words and various images and forms of communication to deceive the world. He would even sweep away the people of God with his lies, but God will help those who are fleeing from the great dragon.
When most people think of dragons, they think of those that breathe fire. The Bible does make reference to such a beast. In the book of Job Yahweh gives a description of the creature called Leviathan.
Job 41:18-21
His sneezes flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning torches; Sparks of fire leap forth. Out of his nostrils smoke goes forth as from a boiling pot and burning rushes. His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes forth from his mouth.
It is not a fire breathing dragon, however, that is depicted in Revelation chapter 12. What is described is a water dragon. The spiritual understanding of this creature is that of a beast that makes war with its mouth. It sends forth rivers of lies and deception that sweep men away into ruin. This river of falsehood is already coming forth, and it will increase in coming days.
People of God, I share this to warn you that great deception is to be unleashed at this time. If your mind is being filled with thoughts and images from the mass media, then you are already being assaulted with a flood of deception. Television programs and movies are created to manipulate minds and transform public opinion. Much of this comes out of Hollywood. The origins of the word “Hollywood” is “Holy Wood.” The holly was considered sacred to druids and witches. Witches wands are often made of holly. Hollywood is a center of witchcraft. It is designed to cast spells over people, making their minds susceptible and fertile instruments of Satan.
If you look to the major media for your news, you are being deceived. Things are not as they appear to be, nor as they are reported to be. The word of God at this hour is “Come out of Babylon My people, lest you participate in her sins and partake of her plagues.”
This deception is to increase at this time. As the world hurtles forward into calamitous days where the economies of the nations are laid in ruins, the cause of this ruin will be ascribed to events and people that had nothing to do with it. The actual perpetrators will remain hidden. Their evil work will be concealed. Those who are acting in the most evil manner will be depicted as victims, or even as saviors.
II Corinthians 11:14-15
For even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness…
As I correspond with Christians throughout the world I am appalled at the blindness and deception that is so prevalent. The saints have been spending too much time in the entertainments and pursuits of the world, and far too little time in communion with the Father. Their understanding is darkened, and their minds are full of confusion and error. Despite this tragic state, the church has not yet experienced anything like that which is coming.
Matthew 24:24
“For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.”
If you have been neglecting prayer, Bible study, and meditation upon spiritual matters, then you are not prepared to walk wisely in the midst of great deception. If you have been imbibing freely of that which is on television, the movies, magazines, radio, and the Internet, not bringing such activities under the rule of the Spirit of Christ, then you risk being swept away in what is coming.
The Spirit is testifying that an hour of recompense is at hand. The saints of God will reap according to what they have sown. Those who have been sowing to the flesh must reap the results of their deeds. Those who have been sowing to the Spirit will also receive according to their works.
Will you find in coming days that you have the spiritual perception to walk wisely in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation? Or will you suffer loss due to the dimness of your spiritual vision? Will you be conned by the great deceiver and his servants in disguise, or will you see through the subterfuge and avoid the trap?
I recommend the following article for those who wish to discern the subtlety of Satan, and the works of those who are in collusion with him.

I give this warning, however, there is an image that is sexually impure on this page as the author reveals the hidden symbolism in a Coca Cola ad. The value of the information in the article is such that I would recommend the article anyway. Be discerning, and exercise that self-control that flows from the Spirit of Christ.
End Note: I am reminded of an experience with Randy Simmons. He told me about an experience he once had as he was ministering to the homeless on the streets of Macon, GA. He and a sister in Christ and another man were going to a bank and there was an ambulance pulled up in front of the bank. Randy is sensitive to God speaking in parables, and a sick, injured, or dying financial system is an interpretation that readily comes to mind.
As they were looking at this unusual sight, the sister in Christ drew Randy’s attention to the song playing on the radio. It is titled Independence Day, and was sung by Martina McBride. They caught the following words:
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning.
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It’s Independence Day.
Well, she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen came
They just put out the flames
And took down some names
And sent me to the county home.
Now I ain’t sayin’ it’s right or it’s wrong
But maybe it’s the only way.
Talk about your revolution
It’s Independence Day.
The name McBride means “son of the Bride.” The Scripture reference that comes to mind is Revelation 12, the man-child whom the woman gives birth to.
All this occurs during a time of calamity and judgment. The hour is late.
May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days.

Agreed. We have to come out of Babylon, which means repentance, stop sinning and following the commandments. Our Father in heaven set up things in a certain way as to respond in a certain way to our actions. That is why we see the Deuteronomy 28 curse with such clarity today. We have to align with truth so we can see truth revealed. Our groom is coming. Before the groom can kiss the bride, He lifts the veil❤️
And let’s not forget that the ONLY rule to satanizm is there is no law. You do not have to follow the Torah or commandments. It is do what thou wilt, you determine right and wrong.
Yes, people are deceived through media, movies, news, etc. but I think the greatest deception is the church. I mean, isn’t it a great lie to teach people that everyone is a sinner, just accept Jesus died for your sins and you will be saved. Don’t worry about repentance or following the commandments…and let’s celebrate the pagan holidays of Easter and Christmas and forget about Passover, because that is what brings honor to God? The problem is, that god you worship in church may not be the one who can save you. It may be the deceiver. I know that may be impossible to imagine, but know it may be possible and it may be how so many are deceived, even the elect ones. Because how could that be true? There are many deceptions in churches as well as alterations in the Bible. A lot of what has been removed in our bibles is about repenting from sin and turning from sin to follow Jesus of Nazareth by following the commandments. That is why the love is love movement came about, to confuse people, make arguments and shut people down. What has been hidden is that those that do not repent and TURN from their sin will be punished and possibly be left with satan. Another lie the church promote is Israel. The one everyone is told we should honor so God will bless us. Yes, that is the lie I am talking about. People like to use Jeremiah 38:7 to point to the 1948 political state called Israel. But it is not SPIRITUAL Israel and the 12 tribes the Bible speaks of. Ezekiel 36-38 talks about dry bones waking up (what is happening now, people seeing through the lies we have been fed) so we can repent, leave Babylon’s ways, and be purified. So that followers of the way, those that do not accept the mark of the beast, or worship idols of the beast, do not receive the # or his name can be regathered into the promise land. That is the covenant/promise we are waiting for. Christians are taught about a rapture-not knowing it’s the judgement of the nations! In the Septuagent, Jeremiah 38 talks about chaos happening and people hearing a sound of fear, no peace and people hiding. But, in that day, Yahuah will break the yoke off our necks and burst our bonds so we will no longer serve strangers but Him! He will raise up David our king, gather those that love him and we SHALL return to Him. That is the regathering of the dry bones. If the fake political state of Israel (they made up and church teaches about) from1948 is that, we truly do not have any hope people. That is the lie the church is selling and we bought it. Rapture is when Yahs wrath goes out at judgement upon the ungodly. The repentant shall arise and go up to Zion to the Lord of Jacob where the remnant of Israel will be delivered. He will bring us back “from the north.” (while trump wants to block the north and movie call it the threat from above…) We will be gathered to lodge by channels of waters in a straight way and not ere in it because the Father of Israel will gather us and keep us. We shall go and rejoice in the Mount of Zion to the good things of Yahuah. There is a reward for our works when we return from the land of our enemies. An abiding home for His children. Enoch 50 tells about the glorification and victory of the righteous, the repentance of the nations. A change will take place for the holy and elect and the light of day shall abide in us. Glory and honor shall return to the holy on the day of affliction (aka judgment)on which evil shall have been treasured up against the sinners and the righteous shall be victorious in the name of the Lord of Spirits. He will cause the others (sinners/unrepentant) to witness this, so that they may repent and forgo the works of their hands (followed the beast). Those that repent won’t have honor thru His name, yet He will save them in compassion. All of spiritual Israel shall be saved who repent thru His name. The elect one will sit on His throne and teach us all the secrets of wisdom and council.
These are truths that uncover some of the lies we have been told. I pray you have eyes to see and ears to hear. Research it for yourself so you may be found worthy.
Dear Julie,
Certainly, for myself, it was both the church AND media that blinded me from the Truth of the World for many years.
Many believers who have divorced themselves from the captured church – which I would guess includes the majority of Parable’s readers – still imbibe from the mass media, especially through their phones.
This means their souls remain ensnared within Babylon, within the Antichrist Beast Kingdom.
Without the influence of the media, those portions of the church pushing the pre-trib Rapture invention for all these decades could never have achieved so much success. It was movies and books that implanted that idea into Christian’s minds even more than sermons from the pulpit.
The softening of the gospel into a wishy-washy love-is-love platform was likewise achieved with the aid of Holywood movies and TV shows – for instance, this belief that believers simply fly off to Heaven when they die without any Judgement nor indeed any Judgement Day is a result of endless repetitions in the entertainment media.
While a preacher can promote a deadly lie with every Sunday service, the mass media can repeat the same lie a million times in a million different ways across the whole world, to believers and non-believers alike.
The thought-control powers of modern mass media CANNOT be overstated. For over a century, this seductive power has shaped the ENTIRE WORLD, not only the ‘Christian West’, into the Image of the Beast. Into an Age of SELF. An Age of global SELF-worship at a level that has never been seen before, at least on this scale.
The Covid Hoax showed us how we live amongst mind-controlled people who number in the billions. Many churches were at the forefront of pushing those weaponised Covid lies upon believers – and they did so under the influence of the mass media. They did so because they chose to worship the Image of the Beast rather than the Holy Spirit of Truth supposedly within them.
And so we witnessed even millions of CHILDREN receiving jabs that are so hideous in their effects that they even corrupt the children’s God-given genetics.
These are all End Times/Antichrist issues. And they go far beyond the influence of the Christian Church, which itself is merely a captured institution. The Church could not have been captured this way without the Dragon Flood of lies that has come from the mass media over the course of a century and more. The mass media has much more control – hourly and daily – over the beliefs of Christians than does their weekly social club activities known as Church-going.
Stepping out of Babylon involves stepping out from every aspect of Babylon. The Church is one aspect. Media another. Banking/Usury yet another. They are all part of the same spiritual war. All part of the same mindwashing that has to be overcome in order to see clearly.

Yes, I am currently being lead into reading many of the books of Scripture that were removed from the Protestant Bible. 66 books always struck me as a severely suspicious number to have arrived at … And it is quite astonishing what was chosen to be removed. I hope to write a blog series on this very soon.
