My Name is Lucifer
By Ray Gano

My name is Lucifer.

I am the son of the morning.

I am the bringer of light and knowledge.

Bow down and worship ME!

In the last days we know that a one world religion will rise as a mighty phoenix. We see that taking place right before our eyes, and yet, no one is aware of it rising.

Yes, many watchmen on the wall point to the Catholic Church, New Age and even secular humanism. I did so myself, that is until I went back to read what scripture really says.  

Everywhere people are pointing here and there, but they are not seeing the picture as a whole. Instead they have compartmentalized what they know into nice neat boxes with cute pat answers. People shake their heads walking off not really understanding what the Bible says.

Because of this we see many books pointing to all these different sects, different religions and movements, but no one see’s the “mother of all harlots.”

Here is what scripture says…

Revelation 17:5 (KJV)  And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Please read that verse again before we go on.

I want conduct a short exercise and point out what this verses really says vs. what we have been taught. Modern Christians today seems to have forgotten how to read and understand what is really there. No longer do they see what scripture really states but instead “THINK” / Interpret for themselves what it says based upon the common teachings we have all been taught. They filter what is written and see what they want to see, and not what is really written there.

When someone reads Rev 17:5, they say

“oh, that verse is talking about ____________.”

The common answer many people imply for the blank is the Catholic Church, the New Age movement or some other false religion.

But they are not reading what the verse really says.

Let’s really read verse 5 as it is written…

“And upon her forehead was a name written,” NOTE THE COMMA at the end of this statement.

Noting the comma, it should be read “And upon her forehead was a name written… PAUSE”

Next we see MYSTERY, again note the comma…PAUSE

Continuing… BABYLON THE GREAT, … Comma… PAUSE.

THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

That is how that verse is read, so lets read it again with those things in mind.

And upon her forehead was a name written, (PAUSE)_ MYSTERY (PAUSE)_ BABYLON THE GREAT (PAUSE)_ THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Do you see that when you read what is really there and maintain the proper context, the verse states something completely different?

I don’t see the Catholic Church there, do you?

Now I know some of you are having a hard time with this because I am going against the “common thought” grain we have all been taught, but is what we have been taught what scripture really states? I have to say no.

I point this out because when ever I have asked people to read this verse and then tell me what comes after the word “Mystery,” they often say Babylon. I used to do the same thing.

I ask them, are they sure? And I have them read it again.

Again they repeat the word Babylon.

I tell them a third time to look again and that they are wrong.

It is usually at this point where they see the comma and then the bells and light bulbs go off in their head.

I Show You A Mystery

John uses the word “Mystery” in Rev 17:5 the same way that Paul often used mystery to tell us that he is giving us a clue or insight into something. In the context he is saying, and this is a Ray paraphrase “ Hey pay attention, I am telling you something special here, I am giving you a clue.”

For example we read in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 about the rapture. Here Paul uses the word “mystery”

1Cor 15:51 -52 (KJV)  Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

In other words, he is giving us a clue, he is telling us something here that we need to pay attention too.

The mystery that Paul is telling us about is dealing with the rapture and the certain details that we as Christian need to understand. It is a “mystery because this event will take place in the future. But more importantly, because it is a future event it is something that we do not fully understand because we look through the glass darkly. This is why both Paul and John used the word mystery.

Back To Revelation 17:5

As we discussed previously, verse 5 reads like this…

And upon her forehead was a name written, (PAUSE)_ MYSTERY (PAUSE)_ BABYLON THE GREAT (PAUSE)_ THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Here John is telling us “Hey I have something you need to pay attention too.”

Babylon the Great …. She is the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.

If you conduct a historical study, you will see that all false religions were born from Babylon or have their roots in the teachings of the religion of Babylon.

So the big question is what was the mother of all false religions?

Baal worship…

But who is Baal? Baal literally means 'Master' or 'Lord.' I find this ironic and is right in line with the character of Satan.

Baal is none other than Lucifer, the son of the morning.

Yea right Ray, how do you know this? You really are stretching this here.

First of all, God is binary. He is either YES or NO. Is Baal the one true God? No, therefore it is of Satan. There is no grey area on this. This is one way I know that the worship of Baal is of Satan and that they are one in the same.

But here is the kicker proof taken from what scripture clearly states…

 Isaiah 14:12 (KJV) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

Let’s read this in Hebrew…

Isaiah 14:12  (KJV) "How(EYK) art thou fallen (NAPHAL) from heaven (MIN) (SHAMAYIM), O  Lucifer(HEYLEL), son (BEN) of the morning (SHACHAR)! how art thou cut down  (GADA) to the ground (ERETS), which didst weaken (CHALASH) (AL) the nations  (GOY)!"

Do you see the name of Lucifer in Hebrew? His name is Heylel Ben Shachar.

Literally translated, Satan’s name means Crescent moon/ morning star.

The crescent moon and the morning star is the symbol of Baal, the original false religion of Babylon, the mother of harlots.

Conducting a quick character study of Satan we know that he is bold and he wants everyone to know who he is, but he is also the great deceiver, so he does not come right out and say “Hey, here I am!” 

The symbol of Lucifer is his name and his name is the crescent moon and morning star, Heylel Ben Shachar. Being the ultimate ego centric narcissist, Satan wants his name to be known and seen all over the world throughout the ages.

John in Revelation 17:5 tells us that Babylon is the birthplace of all false religions, false ideals and false philosophies.  She is the mother of harlots and it all began there in Babylon.

His Name is Everywhere

Fast forward to today and we look around, the symbol of Lucifer is everywhere.

Satan is one who likes symbols; we know this for a fact because in the end he will make all take his name in their right hand or forehead as stated in Rev 13:16-18, which tells us about the mark of the beast.

I have Googled a lot of pictures from many religions and organizations, and I want to show you the symbolism from across the spectrum. Now this is just a short quarry, if you would conduct the same sort of research, you will be absolutely amazed at what you find.

Lucifer, son of the morning is everywhere.

	Starting with the Catholic Church, one of the Harlots of Lucifer.
	This is the famous picture of “Our Lady of Gaudelupe.” What you see here is Mary, the very symbol of the Catholic Church being held up by the crescent moon. The symbol of Lucifer, not of Christ.
	Here is a monstrance; this is the vessel that once the catholic priest blesses wafer or sacrament, he then places the wafer into this vessel. Catholics believe this wafer to be the actual body of Christ transformed by the priest. What is important is what is holding “the body of Christ” It is none other than the crescent moon.
	Here is another monstrance. In fact if you conduct a search on MONSTRANCE, you will notice the crescent moon in many of them
	Mary is pictured here over the earth, note that she is standing upon the crescent moon with stars over her head. It is the crescent moon that supports her and it is holding her up above the earth. The symbolism is strong in this picture.
	Here we see in Egyptian symbolism, the crescent moon.
	Here is the goddess Isis and although the symbolism is veiled, the crescent moon was one of her symbols. Look at the shape of her wings.
	More Egyptian symbolism with the crescent moon above the eye of Ra. Ra corresponded to the Baal, as both names imply 'lord,'
	The following are carvings from different areas in the Middle East, note the Moon and Star symbols.
	As we can see the Crescent moon and Morning Star symbolism is prevalent through out history and throughout the world. But let’s continue and look for more.
	In the wiccan religion, otherwise known as witchcraft,  Lucifer’s symbolism permeates the religion, which is expected.
	.
	The Crescent moon Intertwined with the five pointed star, also known as a pentagram, when the star is inverted, it is known as a Baphomet or the sign of Menzies. It is also the symbol of demons.
	More wiccan symbolism with the crescent moon and pentagram star
	The Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City is covered with Luciferian symbolism. In fact, the round windows were purposely made to create “crescent moons” as the sun passes over throughout the day. Below the “Crescent Moon” windows are inverted stars
	Inverted Star over a crescent moon window on the Mormon temple located in Salt Lake City Utah.
	Two inverted stars on the Mormon Museum located in Salt Lake City. Note the Baphomet
	Freemasons, one of the oldest secret societies whose origins can be dated back to Babylon itself also utilize the symbols of the crescent moon and morning star. This is a rare silver pendent from 1850, note the crescent moon.
	The Shriners, which to join you must attain the level of 32 degree Mason, is steeped in Islamic / Middle Eastern symbolism.  Their crest or logo is an inverted crescent moon with a star inside of it. Now the Shriners claim that these are “claws” and not a crescent moon, but we need to remember who we are dealing with, Lucifer the great deceiver. He hides in plain site and yet no one sees him.

Here are some famous Shriners, all 32 Degree Masons, with the Crescent Moon and Morning Star sitting upon their forehead as the Fezz (their hat) is being be properly worn.

Here you can see that the enemy has done a good job of hiding himself once again in plain sight.

Here is one that while I was surfing around for pictures, I found the following...

	Note the position of the stars of the “88” GOP elephant. You will see they are in their “normal” position with points facing up.
	When G. W Bush became the leader of the GOP by election, the stars in the GOP logo changed, from facing up to the Baphomet position of facing down

I hope that this article has shed some light and that we need to stop compartmentalizing scripture. We need to read the bible as a whole and not hunt and peck verses. It is the whole Word of God that we must know and understand. Once we start looking at scripture as a whole, you would be amazed at what is really there.

We must also remember to read what the scripture truly says, not filter it with what books we have read or movies we have seen or any other filters we may apply. We must stick with the pure Word of God.

Paul told us about the Bereans who did not take him at face value, instead they searched the scriptures to see if what he said stood up to the Word of God. If they did, they would accept what he stated as true, but if they did not, they did not accept his words.

Act 17:11 (KJV)  These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

We are living in the last days. Many are running to and fro and not paying attention to the simple words God has provided us in His Word, the Bible.

We must work hard to truly see what scripture really says and not allow others, including myself to “tell” you what they mean.

We are all watchmen on the wall, we must use solid discernment that God gave us, but all of that starts by us knowing and fully understanding what God’s Word really says.  I don’t have the answers to everything, but I know where to get them, they are found in God’s Word.

Folks, we are living in the last days of the last days. The enemy is massing his army and followers; that is a fact. The one common thing is that all of them associate themselves with is his name, Heylel Ben Shachar, Lucifer son of the Morning. The Crescent Moon and Morning Star.

The followers of Baal have many names for their god and soon all of them will wake up and realize that they all worship their “one true god.” They will realize that they have done this throughout the ages. When the light bulb goes off they will realizes that “one true god” is Lucifer, not Jehovah. When they realize that, it will be open hunting season for Christians and Jews. We know that this is a fact because scripture tells us of the millions of martyrs during the tribulation. You know what I am pointing out is true, even today you see Lucifer’s name emerging everywhere in the world.

It is time that the watchmen wake up and sound the alarm. The followers of Lucifer surround us and they have even infiltrated our churches. The teachings of Baal the mother of all harlots is a cancer growing world wide. He is deceiving the very elect as scripture states. You see a push to recognize only one god. You see a push for global pluralism. An event will cause the many to call for a unification of the world and they will unite under one man known to us as the antichrist. He will be Lucifer himself, incarnate in the flesh. His name is known and seen everywhere upon the earth.

Now, I know that there are some of you thinking that I have gone off the deep end, but this is a fact what scripture says. One can not ignore it, nor can one say” oh that is just your interpretation. Folks, It does not say the Catholic Church, nor the New Age as many of us have been taught. The evidence is there, Lucifer son of the Morning has been hiding right before our very eyes and we did not see him.

He is Heylel Ben Shachar, Lucifer son of the Morning. He will demand the worship of many. Yet today, many already worship him at his feet but under many names. Soon they will realize who their one true god is and then join him working to stamp out his enemies. 

Who Do You Serve?

Jesus stated the following…

John 14:6 (KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

If you do not have Christ in your life, you will spend eternity in hell. This is a fact. It does not matter if you believe this or not, it is the truth spoken by Jesus himself. If your name is not written in the Lambs Book of Life you will go to hell for what you have not done and that is accepting Christ as your personal savior. To be placed in the Lamb Book of Life, you need to turn your life completely over to Him. Having “head” knowledge or “just believing in Christ” is not the same as having “heart” knowledge with Christ living in your heart.  We know that even the devils believe in Him, where are they spending eternity?

James 2:19 (KJV)  Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

We work hard at Prophezine to show that Bible Prophecy is coming to pass. Because of this fact, the Bible is true. Since the Bible is the true and inerrant word of God, there is a heaven and there is a hell.

If you claim the title of “Christian” then take account of yourself this day. Many claim the title, but we read in God’s Word that the title does not get you into heaven.

Mat 7:21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Mat 7:22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Mat 7:23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Who you serve will determine where you will spend eternity. If you are not serving Christ and a true child of God, then you are serving Satan and a child of the enemy.

If you are not 110% sure, then take account of yourself, your very life depends upon it.

1John 1:9 (KJV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
