What Gethsemane Has to Teach us about Overcoming

What happened on the Mount of Olives in the Garden of Gethsemane both before and during our Lord's arrest has some surprising lessons for us, upon whom the end of this age comes. In the season of trial that approaches, many of us will be tempted and fail. It has oft been said that a failure to plan equates to a plan to fail, and there is some truth in that. How do we plan to succeed in the days of trial? This is what I learned from what happened in Gethsemane. It began when I learned a simple symbol, that the Mount of Olives signaled division.

“While studying the account where Y'shua was praying at Gethsemane before his arrest, I was struck with how very emotionally intense it was and then how odd it seemed that he had taken his disciples with him only to separate himself from them. Was he motivated simply by a desire for a particular degree of privacy or was there some other reason? As I wondered and prayed, it came to me that the very location of the event typified separation. Indeed, even though such a thing is never stated directly, the entire Mount of Olives is a symbol of division and separation. As I checked every mention of this location in the Bible, this signification became very clear. Knowing that the Mount of Olives is always associated with division affords us greater insight, because all that the Bible records as being said and done on the Mount can be considered from that perspective. Though it may seem a small matter, this insight has led me to some very important lessons about the Lord's plans for the latter days of his church.”

Part 55 - Rango - The Fringe Version of Petrus Romanus, a “Black Stone”

Continuing from the previous post, yet another witness to the meaning of Rango's terrarium gravel as the Beast DNA portal comes from Fringe, the TV series. The character named Peter Bishop is the basis for a special device that bridges the two universes. Think of this as bridging heaven and earth. The name “Peter” is in Greek, petras, a stone, which you may recall from Post 53. (the cryptogram Blackstone derived from Schwarz(man) and Peter(son))

Peter Bishop's DNA is the singular key to the mechanism.

The following is from the scene where Peter is studying some of the components of the bridging device. His observation is correct in that it was designed just for him.

Peter: "The parameters are human...a reflection of the human genome. The spectrum isn't random. In fact, the specificity of the configuration would seem to suggest that the object would only respond to a subset of people. And a narrow subset at that. A subset of one. Me."

Fringe - Episode 2.23, "Over There, Part 2"

This device is so large Peter has to climb up stairs to access it. In the upper of these two images you see him in the machine while Olivia stands on a portable staircase. When Peter is in the machine it responds to him, enabling him to bridge heaven and earth, as it were. Having ascended into the machine, Peter becomes the bridge between heaven and earth, petra, a stone, the unique biological agent with the essential genetics! In the lower image you see him as with a blue light body, appearing as an ascended god in the apotheosis of Peter Bishop.

Notice how the episode referenced is numbered 2.23. The "other" universe tried to drive the transdimensional machine with DNA derived from Peter's child. It didn't work well, having only his genetic contribution as a father. With Peter himself in the machine, all 46 or 2·23 chromosomes were present, and it worked perfectly. The Fringe folks are clever.

This drawing was handed to Peter after he had examined the components and discovered that they responded to him. It shows the device with a picture of him and what we imagine is his personal genome sequence.

If I was expecting to do a series on Fringe I'd already be moving on to the next black stone item, but since I'm not, I'm going to expand a little on the role of Peter Bishop. My buddy Aaron and I were discussing it some time back and it occurred to us that he was the Pope, the False Prophet. According to Roman Catholic doctrine, the Pope is the bishop of Rome, successor of St. Peter, chief of the whole Church, and the Vicar of Christ on earth. Peter, as in St. Peter - Bishop as the Bishop of Rome. This petras stone is the false prophet, the Petrus Romanus, the last Pope in St. Malachy's twelfth-century prophetic sequence.

The False Prophet will be a Pope, the Beast John saw coming up out of the earth. Notice how the drawing of Peter has fiery smoke rolling up out of his eyes, subtly forming two horns like a lamb. Notice how the machine has extensions of Peter's arms that resemble dragon wings, or fangs.

11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. 12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. 15 And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

Revelation 13:11-18

And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone.

Revelation 19:20

The False Prophet is like the first Beast, a therion, which to say he is of a similar kind, genetically special, hybridized. Since he will fulfill the role of High Priest and baptizer to the other Beast, it seems a reasonable inference that, as John the Baptist preceded Y'shua with a 6 month advance, the papal False Prophet will begin a ministry in advance of the revealing of the lawless one. But I digress.

But, hey, while I'm digressing, I want to at least lightly touch on the symbolism of the winged machine. Things with wings usually fly, right? As a biblical symbol, things that have wings can traverse dimensional boundaries. The visual designer of this Fringe device understands. The person he inspired to draw it up might understand, too. ;)

20 The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings and facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the mercy seat. 21 You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 22 There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel.

Exodus 25:20-22

Olivia is the lead character of the show, who can cross over without technological aid; and there's Walter, who crossed over to get Peter; and Dr. Bell, who crossed over; and Peter, who, with the necessary help of Olivia, not only crosses over but controls the breech created by Walter. These characters all had wings, in a figurative sense, but Peter had them visibly, in the device he was biologically connected with.

The main plot device of Fringe involves the relationship between the two universes, which are ultimately symbolic of heaven and earth. Control over the boundary linking the two and thereby the status of both is the MacGuffin. The dimensional boundary, the border, that's the fringe that's the real focus of attention, beyond the “fringe science” aspect played up more superficially. With regard to control over the dimensional fringe, here's a key connection that will tie in with the stone theme.

31 You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. 32 There shall be an opening at its top in the middle of it; around its opening there shall be a binding of woven work, like the opening of a coat of mail, so that it will not be torn. 33 You shall make on its hem pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, all around on its hem, and bells of gold between them all around: 34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, all around on the hem of the robe. 35 It shall be on Aaron when he ministers; and its tinkling shall be heard when he enters and leaves the holy place before the LORD, so that he will not die.

Exodus 28:31-35

The Fringe is the hem of the ephod with alternating bells and pomegranates all around. This dynamic of this feature perhaps most particularly enables the High Priest to access the most holy place to enter into the presence of the Lord without dying. He meets the Lord, as we noted earlier from Exodus 25, who speaks to him from between the cherubim, whose wings are spread upward.

I see Peter Bishop in the winged transdimensional device modeling St. Peter, Bishop of Rome, Petrus Romanus, the papal False Prophet. The False Prophet is modeled on both Elijah and John the Baptist. Luke 1:5 reveals the name of John the Baptist's mother: Elizabeth. Peter Bishop's mother's name was Elizabeth. And this, for no reason? I doubt that. John the Baptist was an Aaronite as required according to law, who was made the legitimate High Priest of Israel (Aaronic/Levitical and Melchizedek) under sanction of the Most High God. I've written about this, presenting it on The Open Scroll. The High Priest alone can access Gods presence. Fringe presents Peter Bishop as that High Priest with that access, who uses it to make intercession for his people. No, really.

When Olivia's participation is required for Peter to access the machine, we see her at the top of the portable stairs next to Peter in the machine. Dr. Bell calls Olivia by the name Olive. She is Olive, on the mount, adjacent to the High Priest as he accesses the Holy of Holies in an allusion to the Mount of Olives, adjacent to the Temple in Jerusalem. Yeah, it's complicated. Fringe might even exceed Rango on the cryptographic-clever-o-meter, if that could be possible.

I mentioned that the bell-pomegranate hem fringe had a tie in with the stone theme and it does, even beyond Peter as the petras-stone himself. The High Priest modeled by Peter wore stones when he accessed the Holy of Holies. Two stones were on his shoulders that bore the names of the tribes of Israel, 6 names per stone. These stones were onyx. If you want to know what onyx looks like, just look at the black stone in Doda's Bad Girls video. Look at the black stones in the movie Knowing. Right. Onyx. Stones were further set into the High Priest's breastplate of judgment. Gem stones were set in gold into a grid of four rows and three stones per row, each engraved with the name of one of the tribes. The stones are linked to people, biological entities with DNA. This grid of 12 unique stones had a very specific configuration, and this grid had a specific relation to the stone on one shoulder that bore the names of six tribes, and to the complementary one on his other shoulder. You are aware that these things were all made after a pattern, according to what was in heaven, right? These are a witness to some heavenly reality. There is a quantum linking, if you will.

18 I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.

Matthew 16:18-19

A quantum entangled petras. The gates of the “alt-verse” will not prevail against it.

Sorry. I should have given you advance notice about using an extra wrap of duct tape to keep your tin-foil helmet from blowing off. The Fringe folks know things. They spill the beans. Movies and other media bear continual witness to the supernatural. When the Lord opens your eyes, you see whatever He wants to show you. Go get your helmet and this time secure it with an extra wrap of duct tape. Ready? OK.

The High Priest had his array of stones and musical golden bells adorning his garments, his covering. This equipped him for access into the Most Holy Place. Ezekiel described a being who had a similar covering, apparently for a similar purpose.

13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, thesardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

Ezekiel 28:13-15

My buddy Aaron speculated that this might be how Satan "walked to and fro and up and down" upon the earth. I think so, probably giving a view of how he got around Eden. After sinning with Eve and Adam he may have been stripped of a garment, as the man and woman came to see themselves as naked. Did they all lose a garment? The serpent was cursed and somehow changed according to Genesis 3:14. When “the anointed cherub that covereth” had 9 gem stones and was perhaps as some kind of musical instrument, there may have been a complex dynamic facilitating his dimensional access that involved EMR and non-EM resonance. After the curse, was there something like a casting out of heaven involved, stripping him of something like a "wedding garment" so that he fell to a lower realm? He can still get around, but he seems to be handicapped.

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. 7 The LORD said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Then Satan answered the LORD and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.”

Job 1:6

I think he's enlisted the physicists at CERN's LHC to help him get his mojo working. He's upped the contracts to cover overtime on the fringe science to get the black stone hook-up. He's just about got Petrus Romanus online, apparently.

OK. You can remove the tinfoil helmet. :) Until next time, Lord willing.

Part 54 - Rango - Unobtanuim, the Black Stone Body

I believe the black stone as pictured in Rango's terrarium gravel also symbolizes the DNA of the Beast that will be the genetic-supernatural/hyperdimensional binding of the heavenly sons of god and the earthly daughters of men. This black stone body will be their reward, the “immortal” “light” body promised to those who worship him by choosing to join themselves with him, becoming one. They will become a chip off the ol' block, his black stone heritage.

DNA is a crystalline structure, a gem stone, if you will. (DNA Learning Center - Use of X-ray crystallography to prove that DNA is crystalline, Maurice Wilkins) It is the scroll of the book of life and a stone, as previously illustrated in this series.

When we see a black stone being presented as ascending or hovering it is the DNA transformation that ascends man to godhood, as appearing between heaven and earth, the hybrid man as the bridge. I'll illustrate this with a variety of examples.

A hovering black stone was pictured in Avatar (2009), in a display sample of the MacGuffin of the film. This mineral that was mined from the moon, Pandora, was so valuable to the industry sponsoring the operation that they were willing to exterminate the indigenous population to acquire it. James Cameron's obsession with Avatar science goes way beyond what you might think is reasonable for a movie, probably exceeding even Carl Sagan's science of Contact, his own novel and movie projects. You have to know there's some really important meaning concealed in this. I see it this way. This black rock was called unobtanium, a name that can be traced back to aerospace engineering in the late 50s that is usually spelled, unobtainium. It's a play on "obtain," expressing how the thing either can't be had or how it's nearly impossible to acquire. If your read and understood The Avatar Stratagem you can associate the avatar body with the unobtanium that was mined. That's the big key. Equate the two. The avatar represented the merging of the two kinds. That's the “nearly impossible to acquire” MacGuffin that the Serpent has pursued since discovering Eve in the Garden of Eden. The Cain gambit nearly succeeded, but the “final solution” is the unobtanium, the black rock that hovers between heaven and earth. (The avatar-as-unobtanium equality is supported by a consideration of why the moon is called Pandora.)

In this collection of images you see two versions of the fictional element presented in a “scientific” manner. Those who mocked up the fake periodic chart imagery chose the symbol Ub to represent unobtanium, assigning the element numbers 120 and 121. We've only “discovered” elements up to number 118 to date, but, pending discovery, the name of element 120 will be Unbinilium, in symbol, Ubn. Element 121 will be called Unbiunium, Ubu. Those responsible for the mocked up images present the symbol Ub, which falls short of a legitimate three character symbol reference but certainly does present us with something of note. Ub ~ You Be. Get it? You Be a Black Stone. This is a subtle projection of your receipt of the mark of the Beast!

Some who watched Avatar became depressed and suicidal because the avatar body and life on Pandora could not be had; it was perceived as intended, as unobtanium. Folks just cannot wait for the black stone light body, the promised avatar experience. What they don't realize is that with the mark of the Beast they'll become the empty shell instead of the avatar driver.

'Avatar' driving us to suicide, say fans
Audiences experience 'Avatar' blues

What I just wrote about Avatar's symbolic unobtanium applies to another version of the floating black stone, one that appears in a music video by Doda titled Bad Girls. I wrote about that back in January. (Doda - Bad Girls - Poland's Pop Queen as the Mother of Harlots and Doda - Bad Girls - "Try Me" - Mercury Rising)

The stone bearing the devil girl's symbol is pictured as in the womb, gestating. At the end, after Doda (as a man-eating dragon-booted hair-braided rebel leader) ascends to the throne, the marked stone rises to hover in her hand. She says “Try me” and then the symbol from the stone is dramatically pictured as if in the heavens. I already addressed this in two posts and many more could be written, but, in brief, she is as Isis, bringing forth Horus as The Black Stone and, in the process, for those who accept her invitation to “try me,” ascending them as the hovering stone to the heavens as gods. The process begins with gestation because the Black Stone is reproductive, genetic. The end result is ascension as a god, shining as a light in the heavens. The problem with Doda's version is that Bad Girls get the counterfeit.

When I listened to the song backwards I was surprised to discover that, even though her first language is probably Polish, the reversal sounds typical of most English speaking folks. When she says, “Try me,” even though it's not the most easily recognized phrase, I hear, “Cain Marriage.” That's the Black Stone work.

There's a Hermes theme in this that's shared with Knowing (2009) and gives us an important witness about where this is really going. The floating black stone in Bad Girls bears the alchemical / astrological symbol of Mercury or Hermes. In Knowing, the white hare is the symbol for Hermes. Hermes is a psychopomp, the escort to the underworld. The boy and girl each hold a hare while they ascend from the earth, presenting to those who can interpret the symbol what is actually their descent into the underworld with Hermes as their escort. The “whisper people” who chose the children are dressed in black. Just before they ascend with the children, they shed their dark coverings to reveal their bodies of light. This scene where this takes place is very obviously covered with the black stones that had been given special attention throughout much of the movie. What all this is revealing is that the beings associated with the black stones were black stones themselves, that their light bodies clothed in black were what the symbols represented, just like how in Avatar the hovering black stone unobtanium was equivalent to the avatar body. When the alien ships that the children and light body beings ascend into blast off into space, the black stones on the ground ascend and float. Point taken.

When the children were dropped off on what we assume is some distant safe planet, we see a big tree, alluding to the Garden of Eden, with the boy and girl as a new Adam and Eve. The boy's name is Caleb, alluding to one of the two who came out of Egypt and entered into the promised land. The tree is also featured in Avatar and The Fountain. These are all “of a piece,” telling the same story. As Caleb is about to ascend he signals his Dad, signing, “You and me together forever.” If you've seen The Fountain, the tree and the emphasis on what Caleb signed should be familiar. Izzi: “Together we will live forever.” Again, in Doda's Bad Girls, this is roughly equivalent to, “Try me,” which she says as the floating stone appears as shining in the heavens.

To be continued... Lord willing!

Part 53 - Rango - The Blackstone Influence

In coming to understand what is meant by Rango's floating gravel in the context of Rango's fall to earth, you have to see how black stones and rocks represent the Beast and mark of the Beast. I'm going to develop this further to expose how common the symbol is and to open a little more insight into the other meanings.

Dr John Dee and his assistant Edward Kelly famously used a special black stone for scrying. I just wrote about Dee, the subject of a Cultural Olympiad 2012 opera and musical album. Dee and Edwards practiced divination with the object. The stone mirror had a history of such use, having been acquired from the Aztecs in Mexico. It was already a “demonically charged” object that probably had been dedicated to the god known as Tezcatlipoca, the god of rulers, warriors and sorcerers whose name translates to 'Smoking Mirror'. “Mexica [Aztec] priests used mirrors for divination and conjuring up visions.” (The British Museum - Dr Dee's mirror) Another name for the "dimensional portal" device is “shew-stone.”

A similar object in popular culture is the fortune teller's crystal ball, as used in The Wizard of Oz by the wizard and the witch.

The Magic 8-Ball “toy” by Mattel is modeled on this object, which is a shiny black ball, basically a black stone for pretend and real divination. Another familiar object in the class is the mirror in Alice through the Looking Glass, a device that was not only a window but a doorway through which she traveled.

The connection between black stones and magic has been established in the minds of many through a pair of famous magicians named Blackstone, father and son, Harry Blackstone Sr. (1885-1965) and Jr. (1934-1997). Harry Sr (born Harry Bouton) was known as The Great Blackstone. The Great Black Stone represents the Beast, which I established in previous posts. These men were stage magicians, performers who practiced tricks with special props to create the illusion of magic. Whether there was ever actual magick involved, I can't say, and I don't think divining was ever a big part of their acts. Yet, the matter of deceiving the audience into thinking they were seeing what wasn't really true is faithful to the black stone tradition of Dee, Edwards and the Aztec priests. The angelic/demonic entities who produced the visions in the black stone were only ever deceivers, agents of the father of lies who held their enchanted audience captive with supernatural delusion.

A firm that appears to do magic with your assets is The Blackstone Group, founded in 1985 as a mergers and acquisitions boutique. Now rebranded simply as Blackstone, it's an alternative asset management and financial services company that rightly claims to be among the world's leading investment and advisory firms. The founders, Peter G. Peterson and Stephen A. Schwarzman, claim to have named their firm Blackstone as a cryptogram derived from their names. Schwarz is German for black, and Peter, or Petra in Greek, means stone or rock. OK. Fair enough, but I think there's more to it than that. Peterson was Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations until retiring in 2007. He's widely claimed to be a Mason and Illuminist. Schwarzman was Skull and Bones. I'd bet they're completely onboard with the Black Stone Antichrist Beast scheme.

Crossing over out of the financial sector into the intelligence community, something similar can be noted in The Bourne Identity (one of my favorite franchises), a fictional work based on Robert Ludlum's novel. The names of the two black-on-black ops running the CIA agent Jason Bourne and other assassins form the cryptogram “Blackstone” in a similar fashion to what was claimed by Schwarzman and Peterson. (Thanks Aaron!) When Operation Treadstone was closed down it was folded into Operation Blackbriar. Think about it. The missions Bourne was assigned involved assassinating people in such a way that they either looked like accidents or were done so others could be blamed. In these ways, the primary objective was attained with blame shifting to provide deceptive cover. Like magick.

If you extract the words “black” and “stone” from Treadstone and Blackbriar you have “tread” and “briar” remaining. This speaks to me of Genesis 3 and the curses given to the serpent and Adam.

14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
...
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

Genesis 3

I believe an allusion to Genesis 3 was planned and that Ludlum understood about the black stone. Note from the following how the intent was to create “a mythical assassin called Cain.”

“Treadstone is so top-secret that several Deputy Directors of the CIA have no idea that it even exists. In the books, Treadstone headquarters is located in New York City and looks simply like a dilapidated house but is in reality a fortress, having bullet resistant glass and multiple security systems. It is, in this context, a top secret operation to trap the international assassin, Carlos, by creating a mythical assassin called Cain.”

Operation Treadstone - bourne.wikia

Uh, HEY - Isn't there something in Genesis about the creation of a murderer named Cain, a story some people try to pass off as just a myth? Wasn't he the Black Stone prototype, a literal son of the serpent like the coming Beast will be? Blackbriar was Treadstone's successor. Think about how the Cain gambit ultimately failed, like Treadstone, an operation that was terminated when the flood purged the family line from the face of the earth. The successor, Blackbriar intends to succeed where Treadstone failed. Do you think Ludlum understood about the black stone? It seems plain enough to me. He certainly displayed an understanding of trauma-based mind-control techniques being used to create secret agents with superhuman abilities, which certainly factors heavily into the greater Black Stone Beast scheme.

With the esoteric community in mind, Bourne's girlfriend's name, Marie Helena Kreutz, suggests a reference to Christian Rosenkreutz and the Rosicrucian manifesto, The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz. While Jason Bourne and Maria Kreutz didn't actually become Bridegroom and Bride, they lived together as lovers until her death. The setting of the Rosicrucian manifesto's story is Chag HaMatzot, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and it is apparent to me that it is a twisted version of when the lawless one (Black stone) will be revealed and the Bridegroom (White stone) will subsequently take His Bride. The invitation to the wedding of the manifesto includes the Monas Hieroglyphica associated with John Dee. Familiar, yes?

Ludlum's Bourne Trilogy is a tapestry of symbolic imagery. He knew things. His cryptic equation is very revealing. Treadstone + BlackBriar - tread briar = Black Stone

It should be getting pretty obvious that Black Stones are understood by the illumined because the themes are consistent. What I see suggests that the pharmakeia or sorceries of Mystery Babylon and the Beast she rides are represented in the black stone, an emblem that encompasses a broad spectrum of antichrist elements and that spirit's attendant delusion. When Rango's gravel is considered in light of these things, the surreal slow-motion scene set to the music of Ave Maria pictures in the floating gravel the magickal spell of antichrist delusion that attends the falling of this being to earth, the chameleon who brings salvation.

8 Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; 9 that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, 10 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. 11 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, 12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

2 Thessalonians 2:8-11

That's a Black Stone work.
