“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.“-1 John 2:16
Vision: January 23. 2010-I don’t often go to malls…you know, those odd banal suburban outposts of commerce and social conditioning. I don’t like them, and inevitably wind up tense and disgusted by these monuments to materialism. A few weeks ago I did take my sons out for a movie to a mall where the multiplex theater offers $2 matinee films.
After the movie, we decided to walk through this mall, as I was curious as to what was actually in it—like I said, it has been years since I last ventured through. It would be sufficient for any “alien” watchers to understand the culture we live in simply by observing the items we consume (or covet), and what attracts the attention of people in such a venue.
As we walked through this mall I began to “see” a curious phenomena: people would walk past the windows and doors of the various vendors and as they paused a “thread” or “tentacle” (the only terms I have for this) of light-like material would connect to them until I saw them “glow”. Some would wander away…others would move in closer—almost unawares—toward the item or storefront in an almost hypnotic trance.
As we walked through this half mile expanse of shops I saw this occur numerous times. I also noticed that, at times, people would be compelled to turn, or move in a fashion much like that of a person being “lured”…almost in the manner of a dog who hears a “silent” whistle. They seemed to be “programmed”…or “triggered” by stimuli, be it visuals, sounds, or even smells. Their movements, seeming to become a dance rhythm, were punctuated by the lines of wandering souls…couples, teens, young and old— all races…swirling and converging; breaking off into streams that flowed into yet another line…time speeding up…arrays of these “tentacles” swirled as they moved ever forward…yet nowhere.
The lust of the flesh
I was shown in this “flash vision”, and in several subsequent understandings, that our hearts and minds are under a steady assault of psychotronic/subliminal waves. These waves are both physically triggered, by electrical impulses, and also spiritually generated—to minds receptive to more base stimuli and emotions. I noticed, for example, powerful attractive fields near stores like “Victoria’s Secret”, which transmitted a strong lust impulse. Cell phone kiosks also displayed a very steady resonance of attraction.
The lust of the eyes
Furthermore, I observed, in this short sweep, dozens of iconic embeds— recurrent images that featured variations of symbols such as stylized demons, ancient occult death runes and the ubiquitous “ETs”— notably in stores catering to teens, the heavy metal, hip hop and skateboard cultures. These icons are being pumped into the culture as the means of mainstreaming acceptance of themes which now dominate Hollywood films, popular TV shows, and current pop music trends—a process both modern and yet very ancient. In the vision I saw these icons “glow” with arrays of tentacles that radiated outward triggering strong emotional responses—and the impulses to BUY!
The pride of life
We should not be surprised that these embeds and icons are tied to commerce. The western culture of money and power has spread throughout the Earth as the full-blown gestalt of the Biblically predicted system of antichrist. The confluence of technology, media, and global monetary control were long ago predicted in the Bible:
” And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” (Revelation 13:16-17)
The modern shopping mall is, in fact, a temple of commerce…a conveyance of vanity and pride, where all the stylish goods are arrayed in a tightly controlled environment with all the amenities. These food courts, social commons, fountains and statuary are celebrated in films such as “Mallrats (1995)”, “Mannequin (1987)”, and numerous teen exploit slasher movies. These are the temples where the god of money is raised up for honor. The humans who inhabit these places are very conformed to the system of the beast and go there to confer worship and power through the instruments of money.
Warning!
What the Spirit was showing me in this vision was a powerful view of “soul hijacking” on a grand scale. This process, well understood
by the social scientists, has been imparted to us even as small children by the media and culture of consumerism. As our senses are engaged by this highly charged commercial atmosphere, we exhibit small, but discernible changes in metabolic rate, excitement of the cerebral cortical responses, pupil dilation and heightened states of emotions ranging from stimulation and agitation to ennui. Critical judgement is suspended and we enter a state of suggestibility that has, as its target, the unrestrained desire to consume. What better evidence than the modern phenomena of ”compulsive shopper syndrome”, the racking up of high interest credit card debt, and the high incidences of shop lifting found in these “temples.”
The vision I saw was a spiritually animated process that occurs millions of times daily around the planet. It is not limited to the malls, department stores, and retail shopping outlets, but has found a new, significant venue on the internet. In fact, these same elements of subliminal/psychotronic mind control detailed here applies the web in spades (one need only TRY to avoid exposure to online pornography to get the extreme view of this fact.) It is the same paradigm used so successfully in TV, animated cartoons (Disney being a prime provider), movies, print publications, and sound productions: what we experience, in actuality—or simulated in the imagination—becomes a “magnet” for our souls. Advanced technology coupled with psychological conditioning becomes the means by which we are attached to our present physical state.
” Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.”-Romans 6:12










I have recently become aware of this soul hijacking, as you put it. These “temples” are ANYWHERE that you CHOOSE to spend your time, in other words, “sacrifice” to idols”. I believe now, that this is what GOD is saying when HE says that we sacrifice to idols, and “burn incense” to them. Burning incense is a sort of prayer for the chosen idol to continue or become better. Sacrifice is your time and energy spent on the chosen idol….examples would be football games, movies, style, movie stars, YOUR JOB, money, investing, etc. How much time and energy do you sacrifice to these, rather than to GOD? Worship of the beast, the mark of the beast, is what we DO and THINK in relation to all of these idols. Are you marked by the beast already? Everyone should examine these areas and choose rather to spend time with GOD, and all of these idols will fall away and become the nothing that they truely are.
excellent article Randy, and a good warning…
it’s so pervasive throughout the culture, i would hate to be a kid these days.
