As a young unsaved man I was very much into the heavy metal scene, not just participating in the lifestyle and culture, but also in the playing of this music. A song that we use to play and listen to was a song by Iron Maiden called, “The Number of the Beast”. The intro of this song begins with a man with a very eerie voice quoting Revelation 12:12, 13:18.
.
"Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
"Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath
because he knows the time is short
Let him who have understanding
reckon the number of the beast
for it is a human number
its number is six hundred and sixty six"
Today millions of heavy metal fans across the world KNOW this intro of this song as they know their very own names. They can quote this passage verbatim as unsaved religious folks can quote the Lord’s Prayer. I truly wonder how many - lost and saved today - fully comprehend the full magnitude, weight and depth of this exponential super abounding time called the Great Tribulation; in which there will be the exponential demonic oppression and tyranny of the "Devil" and his anti Christ (i.e., the Beast) (Rev. 9, 12:7-17). The very ones who can quote these same Scriptures fused into this Iron Maiden song (Rev.12:12, 13:18) will most likely be alive when this very Satanic institution goes into full affect (Matt. 24:15). What this song has done is to take the sting out of Almighty God's horrific warning and has neutered these Bible verses by twisted them to subtly promote the acceptance of the demonic agenda of 666, which will reign over the world very shortly until the Lord returns (Rev. 12:12; 13:18).
The very ones who can quote these same Scriptures fused in this Iron Maiden song will most likely, be alive when this very Satanic intuition goes into effect.

The words despotic, authoritarian, tyrannical, autocratic etc. with all of their deepest and fullest descriptions, fall so exceedingly short when seeking to describe the Satanic tyranny and oppression during these last 3 ½ years called “The Great Tribulation” (Matt. 24:21-22). So horrific a time this will be that the Lord Jesus stated that, “if the days were not cut short NO ONE (flesh) WOULD EVER SURVIVE” (Matt. 24:22)! This "time period" is exponentially far more horrific then all the world wars and global pestilence ever put together. To add to man’s global woes during this time, the inhabitants of the world will have a supernatural oppressor and tyrant whose power, strength and genius exponentially surpasses the limited confines of mankind. .
This fallen evil genus (Lucifer - aka. Satan) and his rebellious host of untold millions of fallen angels will be - because of their explosion from any access to the third heaven - confined and concentrated to this little o’l planet called earth (Rev.12:7-17). Planet earth will become their new temporal prison cell (Rev. 18:2) till Christ’s glorious return to earth in which these demonic hordes will be placed back in the abyss until they are assigned into the Lake of Fire FOREVER(Matt 25:41, Rev. 19:11-21). It has been this very time and hour that has been the most haunting and dreadful thought in the minds of the fallen angelic hosts, for they now know indeed that their time is very short (Matt. 8:29, 25: 41 Mark 1:24, 5:7, Luke 4:34, James 2:19).
No other medium has been more powerful a tool to Satan (i.e., Lucifer) than the the godless music industry.

In this last century - with all of the new mediums available to mankind - no other medium has been more powerful a tool in the hand of Satan (i.e., Lucifer) than the godless music industry. By it he has single handedly changed the course of history and the landscape of the world's global social order (Luke 4:5-6, 2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph. 2:1-2, 6:12). The youth of today are totally hardwired to their Ipods receiving the indoctrination of the "Do as thou wilt" from the god of this world.
My friend, put away all such forms of evil and indoctrination and by faith place your trust in Almighty God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ and receive Him in to your heart as your personal Savior (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Acts 4:12, Rom. 6:23, 10:4, Gal 1:4) That my friend, is what this whole little life is about! Satan's godless system is but for a moment when compared to the vast expanse of ETERNITY future (Matt. 25:41, Rev. 20:11-15).
My friend, place your trust in the Savior today and instead of drinking and singing from Satan's musical kool - aid selections. You will truly know what true happiness is and what comes from a heart that has been forgiven. You will be singing "Amazing Grace" all the live long day. May it be even so for you!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

David, I am 57 and a musician(among other things), and I gotta say...I just received a whole new meaning to the lyrics "Run to the hills....run for your life!" Its funny how ironically right groups like Maiden were IN SPITE of themselves. They told tales that they themselves probably don't believe in, but in the ultimalr scheme of things, they were more correct than they ever could have known. Run to the hills indeed, if you are not washed in the blood of Jesus, MARANANTHA!
Michael, Indeed (Eph. 2:1-2)! Run to the hills coming up... Matt 24:15-19
Mike check out my personal testimony if you like.

I am not sure how to say this without sounding offensive or condescending, ...but you have it all wrong.
I am your fabled beast/antichrist/Apollyon character. And I will be the first to tell you that the popular interpretation of what people think I am is complete BS.
I am only a man...a good man. And I have absolutely no intention of ruling anything.
What you are calling monsters and evil reigns of power are actually encrypted double meanings and descriptions of information identifying(among other things) several specific individuals.
THERE IS NO SEVEN HEADED SEA MONSTER.
I do have 'horns' though. lol.
I would love nothing more than to be able to prove to the world that I am nothing to worry about, but so many are so hyped and scared that I fear it would do no good, that I would become victim of a witch hunt.
Frankly, People like you scare scare the hell out of me. I assure you, I am much more afraid of you than you are of me. (Imagine you're me, ...then go read all the crazy things people say about you)
And as for the song...I've had my share of difficulties with respect to being the 'Beast'. That's what it's is really about.
BTW, I've already taken my swim in the "lake of fire" too.(I'm sure glad that's over with)
Hell is a state of mind, bro. It's all about the struggle of G[o]od and [D]evil within every one of us.
Quit believing in fairy tales.
Dude, Quite eloquent and creative reply... I liked it... Now... me
Some people call Me a myth and are vain in their imaginations about the world that I created. They say I do not exist but some how always display a profound hatred for Me and those who believe in Me. I speak in REALITY but My fallen creation lives in a perpetual delusion, void of reality and are slaves to the transgressions they seek to find liberation in.
They say I do not care but I sent My Son to die for their transgression and to be their propitiation unto ETERNAL life (John 3:16-17).
I reach out my hand all day long only to have it continually pushed away. One Day ALL will give an account to Me according to My PERFECT RIGHTEOUS STANDARD and then they will fully know REALITY and that they have always known ME and my required accountability (Rom. 1:18-32).
Delusion is a state of mind... Reality is torment to the deceived (Rom. 1:18-32).
Quit believing in moral relativism and spiritual relativism and face the music. Almighty God is very real.

i remember in the 1960s black sabbath came out with [in a gada da vida], the song was actually [ in the garden of eden], they just messed up in recording and left it that way.
Amen, brother,
Stairway to Heaven is another Antichrist song. What could "When all are one and one is all" be but a reference to the world unity of the Tribulation period when the Beast rules?
Styx's song Come Sail Away is another. In it they promote the idea that angels are really aliens, and they can take us away with them to the stars. I have no doubt that this has something to do with the delusion of the last days.
Lady Gaga's "Born this way" is another.
Don't worry, if these things are related to the end times delusion, it is because God has chosen it as a judgment on those who have rejected Him!
"I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not." Isaiah 66:4
Ah man, what an awesome record that was.
Salvage, glad to see you at least know some Holy Scripture! Rev. 12:12
Jesus Christ came to Salvage your soul if you will trust Him.
It was Iron Butterfly..
Dan, Thanks for your reply!
Dave
whoops.... i said the wrong group. probably becuase that kind of [heavey metal] type i hated. it even sounded dark to me and i was only 12 years old. i liked neil young at the time. dont listen to any music for many years now. Christian rock ............Are you kidding. been to led z,pink f,frank zappa, to many concerts to list. Thank God they dont come back to me in my mind and i have little to no memory of it.
Words have power. Be careful with what you listen to, watch, read and speak. God is carefully watching us. We should act as if he's standing beside us all the time.
Indeed! They are always indoctrinating!
People fear big tech (Google,Facebook, twitter etc) Almighty God knows our hearts eternally more than these).
Jesus saves!
