Who would be the 2nd Beast in the lsm/lc cult? Submit your answer below (after reading).
This comment by loverofanotherchrist (factnet.org), "You've been beaten Troy, just admit it already" reminded me of the movie, Matrix: Revolutions, near the end when Smith says to Neo "we already know I am the one that beats you". How similar are these words.
The matrix is the world (which the leeists need to feed off of like the machines feed off of humans, e.g. suing for $136 million to support their addiction in the sins of leeism), and those who take the red pill come out of the matrix would be the Church. The tares would be those who take the red pill falsely and pretentiously like Judas. Those who take the red pill under false pretence are actually worse off than those who still cling to the blue pill, because they come so close to the truth and still reject it. Leeists still refuse the truth and cling to the 6 major sins of leeism.
And all those copies of Smith who are watching "the show" are like all those towers of lsm/lc testimonies that loverofanotherchrist keeps reproducing, like he is trying to make copies of himself, to make himself feel better in those 6 major sins of leeism. What greater self-rationalization is there?
When Neo dies, there was victory. Each time in the movie Smith killed him, the One was victorious. It is because the flesh is corrupted that it must die and when it dies, it gives Smith no power to operate in. As Smith went into the flesh of Neo (the third movie), Smith found he was powerless against those in the One. The machine then says "It is done". Then came peace. Even in the millennium there will still yet be some hidden sin, which is why Satan is let out of the pit for a short while at the end of the millennium. After that, he is cast into the hell of eternal separation.
The first time Neo went into the flesh of Agent Smith (the first movie), but this was not the Way. It only exiled Smith. The Way (third movie) immobilizes Satan (e.g. Lee who originally fell under such grace of Nee's writings in agreement with the Word) when the accuser of the brethren goes into the flesh to find he is powerless and ultimately destroyed (in hellfire). Neo could already see the outline of the fire of Smith as Christians can see Witness Lee.
This analogy fails in that the main machine of course is evil, Neo (sounds too much like Nero, which is Neron Kaisar in Aramaic = 666 according to Rev. 13.18) is an improper name, and this movie really twists Christianity in many other ways (e.g. communing with the Oracle, i.e. Mary or the reincarnation of Neo 6 times), but the essential point remains true that those in the One are victorious if the accusers (e.g. possessed leevites) of the brethren have nothing to attack anymore as they find the flesh is inoperative in those who died with the One. Let us praise the Lord He will take the sickle to separate the leevite tares who try so desperately of their own strength to look like the saved wheat, even to the point of their suing for faith for $136 million in vanity which is not like the suffering servant. What an extreme way to rationalize oneself! This is not love but corrupted self-defense.
And so it is true with loverofanotherchrist, when he finds he has no one left he can deceive and infect with the 6 major sins of leeism, he is rendered like a program that no longer has purpose, to be terminated (eternally separated from God). He still exists even though he has gone into exile, but NOW sin can no longer operate in the flesh that has died. loverofanotherchrist, a pawn of Lee, has no power over Christians. Before the millennial kingdom starts, the Antichrist (e.g. like a Kangas or Pester, a rising star) will be thrown into the lake of fire, and after the millennium, the Dragon (like Witness Lee) will also be thrown into hell-fire with all the resurrected unsaved tares (e.g. leeists) who take the mark of the first beast (Antichrist).
To solve the rest of this unholy trinity with Lee and Kangas, who then would be the second beast (False Prophet) who speaks for the image of the first beast? It is not easy to know such things. Email your suggestions here.
