Confusion itself is an underlying theme leading up to the coming of Antichrist. In the section The Age of Confusion, Davis documents the many ways in which modern civilization in the west is being groomed throughout history into a globalized gnostic one world religion. We are experiencing America’s decline into a totalitarian socialist state like a boiling frog effect while everyone thinks they can vote their way out through democracy. To quote St. John Kronstadt, “In hell there is democracy. In heaven is a Kingdom.” 29 30 ## Notes 31 - p.15 [[§ Globalization]] is not just economic 32 - p.16 [[Global village]] - digital tech 33 - ❓ The spirit of our time? 34 - ❓ What about tech worship? 35 - ❓ Part of a broader globalization? 36 - p.20 mimicry of the God-man as the man-god 37 - p.31 [[1540.3a Etymology of Antichrist]] [def] 38 - p.36 Legion: "don't torment me before the time" 39 - Evil doesn't exist 40 - p.40 Pre-figuring of antichrist 41 - p.44 Antichrist will mirror Christ's earthly ministry 42 - p.47 ❓ Noahide laws/rabbinical courts to execute blasphemers? 43 - p.51 Mark of the beast as an inversion of sign of the cross 44 - p.54 "Withdraw from society" cf.
