The New Year’s Eve drone show in Brazil promised you Jesus Christ but delivered Antichrist coming up from the sea in Revelation 13

On New Year’s Eve in Brazil, a massive drone display over the ocean formed the image of Christ the Redeemer, hovering above the sea before a vast multinational crowd. To most people watching, it was just another impressive display of modern technology blended with religious symbolism. But the imagery was unsettling for one simple reason: in the Bible, the true Jesus Christ never rises from the sea. That’s what Antichrist will do.

“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.” Revelation 13:1 (KJB)

When Jesus comes for His Bride at the Pretribulation Rapture, He will pull us up into the clouds to be with Him as scripture clearly describes. When He returns with us, on white horses, at the Second Advent, we will come down from the heights of Heaven to the Earth. But there is a counterfeit Christ coming, and he comes up from beneath, he is Leviathan the water horse, he is Antichrist.

The return of Jesus Christ at the Second Advent is described with exact precision in Scripture, and it leaves no room for confusion.

“Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” Acts 1:11 KJB

And again:

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.” Revelation 19:11 (KJB)

Jesus ascended into heaven, and He returns from heaven. He does not rise from humanity. He does not emerge from the nations. He does not appear by consensus, technology, or spectacle. Any “Christ figure” that originates from the earth, the sea, or the masses is, by biblical definition, a counterfeit. The actual return of Jesus Christ will be nothing like what Project Bluebeam is conditioning people to think.

On New Year’s Eve in Rio de Janeiro, millions cheered as they watched ‘Christ the Redeemer’ rising from the sea via drone technology. But according to Revelation 13, that’s how Antichrist comes on the scene, he rises from the sea like Leviathan. People are being groomed. pic.twitter.com/jmsxl9oUvz

Technology Is Training The World For Revelation 13

What makes this event especially notable is not just the imagery, but the method. Drone technology allowed an image to appear in the sky, command attention, inspire awe, and evoke religious emotion on demand. This is not accidental. Revelation 13 tells us that the end-times system will revolve around an image, empowered in a way that astonishes the world.

“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” Revelation 13:14 (KJB)

The world is being conditioned to accept the idea that:

• Religious images can appear suddenly
• The sky itself can become a display medium
• Technology can simulate “divine” manifestations
• Crowds should respond emotionally and reverently

This is not the image of the beast yet—but it is practice for his soon-coming arrival after the Rapture of the Church.

The Antichrist Will Look Like A Saviour

One of the most dangerous misunderstandings about the Antichrist is the belief that he will look obviously evil. Scripture teaches the opposite.

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.” Revelation 13:11 (KJB)

A lamb-like appearance. Religious overtones. Familiar symbolism. Gentle presentation. But satanic authority underneath. The Antichrist does not oppose religion—he replaces Christ. He offers peace without repentance, unity without truth, and salvation without the cross. That is why events like this drone display matter. They reveal how easily the world can be moved by engineered wonder, and how quickly people will attach spiritual meaning to technological spectacle. In short, this lost world is being prepared right now to receive Antichrist, and they they don’t even know it. But you do, so go out and tell them, warn them and lead them to salvation in Jesus before it’s too late.

2026 is off to a wild end times start already and looks to be a year of major prophetic fulfillment as we watch the kingdom of Antichrist coming into view

Everywhere you turn and everywhere you look, everything just seems off, really, really off. We are told that America is right now in a ‘Golden Age’ never before seen in our 250 year history, and not only is that not true, it’s an out-and-out lie, yet a very large sector of our country believe it. We are told America only wants peace, yet we watch as a ramp-up to war takes place around the clock. What’s going on? Is this mass hypnosis, is it mind control, what is it? Hey, Habakkuk, what sayest thou?

“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, over at Mar-a-Lago on New Year’s Eve, people watched as a female artist live-painted a ‘Jesus painting’, but it wasn’t the Jesus of the Bible. This Jesus had a decidedly Roman Catholic feel, with piercing blue eyes, swirling in a sea of dark colors, and looking for all the world like a portrayal of Antichrist. The assembled crowd cheered as it was auctioned off for $3 million dollars to a Catholic charity. Over in New York City, deep in an underground abandoned subway tunnel, the new Socialist Muslim mayor was sworn in on a Qu’ran. To me, this completely sets the tone for what we might expect to see in 2026. Elsewhere, Trump is launching 6G to connect with human implantable devices, renaming all sorts of pre-existing buildings after himself, and preparing to build the Arch Du Trump in Washington. Elon Musk says 2026 will be the year that his Neuralink brain chips really take off, and Islam is positioned for a level of control this country has never seen before. As if all that wasn’t bad enough, Turning Point USA, whom we showed you with our end of year Podcast in 2025 to be a hotbed of demons and devils, is launching a plan to bring their One World Religion to every church in America. This isn’t Satan’s ‘little season’ we are watching, this is the big show. Today we invite you to join us as we lift up the end times rock to see what’s crawling underneath it. It won’t be a pretty sight, but it’ll be the Truth, and we promise it will be a blessing to you here in 2026.

President Trump just launched 6G Development Initiative to fast track technology for AI, robotics and human implantable devices in 2026

Remember how much everyone freaked out when then-president Barack Obama rolled out 5G technology? To say that it caused end times watchers to go nuts might be an extreme understatement. Well, guess what? President Trump just signed a directive to warp speed 6G development specifically where it applies to AI, robotics and human implantable technology. 666G, anyone?

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation 13:16-18 (KJB)

In a December 19, 2025 Presidential Memorandum titled “Winning the 6G Race,” the administration says the next generation wireless network (6G) will be foundational for national security and the economy — and then adds this line: 6G will play a pivotal role in “artificial intelligence, robotics, and implantable technologies.” It reads like a blueprint for the kind of always-on, everywhere, high-speed, low-latency control grid that Revelation says will one day be used to enforce the most notorious system the world has ever seen: no mark, no commerce. And the memorandum isn’t vague. It’s about carving out and clearing spectrum (radio bands) for 6G — ordering studies and relocation plans with deadlines and specific frequency ranges. Take a look and see for yourself.

On December 11th, Trump didn’t even know what 6G actually was, he thought it was a reference to pixel depth in camera technology. 8 days later he signed the 6G Directive to accelerate the technology with AI, robotics and human implantable devices. Someone make it make sense. pic.twitter.com/Yg1TKEMBGD

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) December 31, 2025

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I Donald J. Trump hereby direct:

Section 1.  Purpose.  The next generation of mobile communications networks (6G) will be foundational to the national security, foreign policy, and economic prosperity of the United States.  This technology will play a pivotal role in the development and adoption of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and implantable technologies.  6G will also provide faster, more resilient, and more secure communication networks that can be utilized for national security and public safety purposes. source

Now strip away the marketing language and it’s largely about making room for 6G by relocating federal users and designating bands for full-power commercial use. But notice what it’s for: not just faster phones. The memo and fact sheet repeatedly frame 6G as the platform that will operate AI, robotics, and implantables at scale.

That is transaction control. That is access control. That is permissioning commerce based on a required identifier, and the absolute perfect setting for the Mark of the Beast. But I’m sure that’s just another ‘crazy coincidence’, right?

Now ask yourself: what kind of technology makes that easy worldwide?

• networks that never drop
• networks that can authenticate instantly
• networks that can handle billions (then trillions) of devices
• networks that can merge identity, location, biometrics, payment, and compliance
• networks that can support “implantable technologies”

We invite you to join us for our first Podcast of the New Year, Lord willing, this Friday January 2nd 2026 where we will blow your mind in real-time.
