The Church View:
      There are many concepts of what the "Great Deception" may be ranging from the Church of Satan to UFOs. Capitalism, corporate greed, and the obsession with possession of wealth are seldom found on the list. Generally, anything that may cause members to question or reject absolute church control over their life fits the bill.

The Bible View:
      There are many aspects to the final deception of mankind with corporations being the center of focus. No scripture points toward an invasion, mind control, or holographic images projected into the minds of satanic puppets by alien powers. It is also clear that the mass of mankind will be deceived, that the mainstream church will be following the same drummer, and that the final blame will fall on the world's great mercantile concerns. 

       The purpose of this work is to present evidence that will cast light on the true nature of the beings described in the pages of the Bible, how they appear, how they interact with humans, who they are, and what their presence means to mankind. 
      The Bible uses many terms as names for these beings, God, Lord, angels, hosts, and watchers, to name a few.  These beings declare that they created all life on this planet, including mankind, and control the biosphere of Earth and what we perceive as the known universe.  The Bible also provides evidence that mankind has a direct relationship with these beings and are much higher than all other forms of life on the planet.  The highest ranking of these beings, called the Elohiym in the Hebrew, having a direct relationship with mankind and the planet, is a direct representative of the Supreme Being who is the source of all things.  This being’s name is Yhovah in the Hebrew and is the Lord and the Word in the Old Testament.  It is this being who was in control of the actions that brought this world into being, interacted with the humans in the Old Testament, and became the man called Jesus in the New Testament. It is this being that predicted the events directly related to the future of mankind.
      It is those predictions that are most important to what the presence of these beings means to mankind.  Many of these predictions are general in their content such as wars, earthquakes, signs, and wonders in the sky.  But, there are six verses that give specific insight into how mankind will be brought to the brink of self-destruction that can be seen in the events unfolding in our rapidly changing world. 
      A series of events unfolding in the beginning of the first decade of the 21st Century is revealing that, indeed, those predictions made almost 2000 years ago are not only possible, but also becoming a stark reality in our modern society.  The power elite through a corporate control structure and global financial manipulation will soon have every aspect of human life under direct control using the guise of protection from a worldwide terrorist threat. 
      The single most destructive reality in our modern world in our historical record, our ancient writings, is the pursuit of wealth and the power it gives.  And, throughout history the wealthy elite has used force to maintain that power, giving the masses only enough power to produce that wealth and eliminating all opposition to their despotic quest.  Money and the power it facilitates have been the cause of wars, poverty, biosphere devastation, social degradation, political oppression, and the original source of all human and planetary problems. What is now shaping up to be a global monetary control system is clearly predicted in the pages of the Bible.  

High Evil in the Corporate World 

      The world's history is littered with remnants of great societies, gaping scars on the planet, and the bodies of billions of humans, all victims of the relentless pursuit of the power of wealth. Wealth is a clever shape shifter in appearance, but constant in its most despicable effect, avarice. Whether it is golden to the eye, salty to the taste, or oily to the touch, the pursuit of possession for personal gain has created a downward spiral in human condition, the social fabric, and environmental health. At the beginning of the twenty-first century the control by the wealthy elite over every aspect of human life is reaching completeness. It is no longer a dream to pursue, it is now a perpetually growing addiction to its elite possessors, an obsessive quest to those trapped in its lure, and a weapon to control, and fleece the masses.
      Now the control mechanism that will insure monitoring and identification of every human on the planet is in place, and riding the crest of the "security at all cost" tide sweeping through the global community. In but a short time, mandatory implantation of the new implantable biochip will be the law of the planet under the guise of the public good. With the terrorist threat dominating every aspect of social reality a new era in global reality has begun. No longer is the future bright with the promise of ever expanding global freedom, peace, and prosperity. The dark shadow of oppression, sinister clouds of war, and gloomy reality of inevitable worldwide economic depression dominate the horizon.  

The True Nature of the Corporate Reality

       In a recent book, and movie, titled “The Corporation”, the concept of corporate personhood, and its ramifications socially, were closely examined. A person who is considered dangerous to the society as a whole very often exhibit traits that are defined as psychopathic, and would make that person a threat to society. In the book, “The Corporation”, a leading expert in forensic psychology was asked to determine how the corporate personality, with its questionable humanlike power under the status of corporate personhood, would be rated psychologically. His conclusion is that the corporation, as legally structured, by the actions it is mandated to take, and considering its well-publicized performance socially, would qualify it as a severe psychopath.
       Psychologist Dr. Robert Hare, a leading expert in the study of psychopathic behavior, has developed a checklist of psychopathic traits and these are but a few that represent the aberrant behavior of corporations.
·  The corporation is irresponsible because in an attempt to satisfy the corporate goal, everybody else is put at risk.
·  Corporations try to manipulate everything, including public opinion.
·  Corporations are grandiose, always insisting that "we're number one, we're the best."
·  Corporations refuse to accept responsibility for their own actions and are unable to feel remorse.
     The following, is his well-known and implemented psychopathy checklist in its entirety. The reader can easily see that considering what we know about the global behavior of corporations, there are very few aspects of psychopathic behavior corporations do not match.

1. Glibness / superficial charm
2. Grandiose sense of self-worth
3. Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom
4. Pathological lying
5. Conning/manipulative
6. Lack of remorse or guilt
7. Shallow affect
8. Callous/lack of empathy
9. Parasitic lifestyle
10. Poor behavioral controls
11. Promiscuous sexual behavior
12. Early behavior problems
13. Lack of realistic, long-term plans
14. Impulsivity
15. Irresponsibility
16. Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
17. Many short-term relationships
18. Juvenile delinquency
19. Revocation of conditional release
20. Criminal versatility

       Considering the fact, which is revealed later in this section, that corporations now have the status of "personhood", which is revealed later in this section, the reality is that our society is being controlled by a psychopathic entity

A Warning to Humanity

       This is the proclamation of the beginning of the end of the current age of mankind. The Bible warns the world to be careful where the false prophets point, saying the Christ is here, or there, but is very specific where deception can be found:
♦  "And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived." (Revelation 18:23)
       The great merchants of the Earth in the end times are clearly indicted as the culprits behind the complete deception of mankind. There are many concepts in the churches of the world about what the "Great Deception" is, ranging from the Church of Satan to UFOs. Capitalism, corporate greed, and the obsession with possession of wealth are seldom found on the list. Generally, anything that may cause members to question, or reject, absolute church control over their life fits the bill.
      The single most destructive reality in our modern world, in our historical record, and from our ancient writings, is the pursuit of wealth and the power it gives. And, throughout history the wealthy elite have used force to maintain that power, giving the masses only enough power to produce that wealth, and eliminating all opposition to their despotic quest. Money and the power it facilitates have been the cause of wars, poverty, biosphere devastation, social degradation, political oppression, and the original source of all human and planetary problems. What is now shaping up to be a global monetary control system is clearly predicted in the pages of the Bible.
