Battling Chaos: Exploring Leviathan

Listen in as we chat with Amy @eyesontheright about eschatological themes, drawing parallels between modern societal trends and the "days of Noah." We discuss the rapid increase in knowledge, the dangers of occult practices, and the manipulation of DNA and seeds, relating these to biblical prophecies about the end times. Topics include the blending of genders, destruction of traditional family structures, and the genetic modification of food. Additionally, we cover the potential deception through technology, UFOs, and supernatural phenomena, emphasizing the need for Godly discernment. We chat about the societal normalization of dark themes like cannibalism and vampirism, the manipulation of ancient relics, and the emergence of the Antichrist. Make sure to note, we highlight the importance of staying grounded in scripture, seeking wisdom, and maintaining a strong faith community in the face of these challenges.
