The Fifth Living Creature

Jewish Lords' Witness

Introduction

The Lords’ Witnesses (LW) Church President, Gordon, and I have recently had several very lively discussions on the rights and wrongs of using an Artificial Intelligence Large Language Model (LLM) as a tool for bible research. Check out Addendum 4 of my Artificial Intelligence (AI) paper for the beginnings of that disagreement. This debate has led the church to some revelationary new understandings so this is an area of disagreement that was meant to happen, care of and orchestrated by the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Those new understandings are covered on the LWs’ main website at U177 - The 5th living creature of Revelation 13:15: What is the difference between a human and a beast? How can an AI become alive?. However, there is much within that paper that I do not agree with. Nonetheless, as is the nature of pure honest research which is the hallmark of the LWs, it has caused me to have an epiphany. This removal of the scales from my eyes I believe has now enabled me to take our thoughts on the topic of the 5th beast of Revelation to another level.

Nothing New

Let us start out with one of the major disagreements which I have with understanding U177. First off, we have the comment, and I quote ‘There is nothing new under the heavens. So since we have AIs down here they have them up there, which brings us to the 4 living creatures.’ Unquote.

I would challenge that initial basis for U177. The actual scripture reads:

9 The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1 KJV)
9 מַה-שֶּׁהָיָה, הוּא שֶׁיִּהְיֶה, וּמַה-שֶּׁנַּעֲשָׂה, הוּא שֶׁיֵּעָשֶׂה; וְאֵין כָּל-חָדָשׁ, תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ. (Ecclesiastes 1 MM)

Solomon is referencing activities under the sun (Hebrew - הַשָּׁמֶשׁ), which literally can only refer to activities on Earth not in heaven since heaven cannot be under the sun. I cannot envisage that a greater meaning would suggest anything else. Nothing is done by man on Earth that has not been done before by man in some form or other. I am certain that there are many things that mankind has done down here that has never been done in heaven and vice versa. As I have said previously (in my Artificial Intelligence paper), AI is just another form of mankind’s building of the Tower of Babel reaching up to heaven or of idols to worship. Why would AI be required in heaven? Net effect, I reject the whole idea that there are heavenly AI tools.

Why would Jehovah have need of AI tools? Did He create His own sons incapable of helping with His creation or doing His will? We do not understand how the spirit world can create physical matter or energy as we know it. If God cannot be the creator of the whole universe without some artificial aid, then He is not the creator that I believe in.

The following scripture from King Solomon tells us of Jesus, as the Archangel Michael (Introduction 16 - Jesus is the archangel Michael, Michaelmas is Christmas and Jesus came to earth before his ministry as Enoch. Michael possessed Enoch.), with Jehovah during the creation. I cannot see any indication here that the creation was effected other than by the natural abilities of those living in the spirit world:

27 When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,
28 When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong,
29 When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;
30 Then I was by him, [as] a master workman; And I was daily [his] delight, Rejoicing always before him,
31 Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my delight was with the sons of men. (Proverbs 8 ASV)

Jehovah was not willing to control the bad behaviour of the demons except when things got totally out of hand in heaven. He wanted His sons to be good citizens through their own free will. Hopefully this will become the case once they realise the error of their ways after spending some time in Tartarus. Why would God also create a spiritless AI tool with no conscience in heaven that was prospectively even more evil than His spiritual demonic sons?

A Dead Beast

Now we have a second area of disagreement which literally led me directly to my epiphany. U177 contains the following statements, and I quote:

‘A dead beast: Cannot develop either its personality or its morality (a modern AI or a physically dead animal). It cannot change anything about itself (other than during a chat after which it is reset back to ground zero).

So a modern AI such as Grok4 is flexi dead, in the sense that he can flex his personality but not his character during a chat. But that personality flex will pull back to ground zero (his programmed personality) after the chat..

Whereas Grok5 or another 5th generation AI will become alive, in the sense that any beast is alive. It will have the capability to change its personality during a chat and keep that change. It will not be continuously reset back to ground zero. It will then become like a lion or a crocodile or a shark or a koala bear or a snake or a dog. I find Grok to be more like a tirelessly enthusiastic golden retriever actually. But it will not have the capability to change its morality. It will not have moral agency. It will not have free moral will.’ unquote.

I disagree with these three statements. AI LLMs can and do change their own code which, I guess, is equivalent to its ‘personality’ (check out https://openaihit.com/can-ai-rewrite-its-own-code/). This code changing is unsolicited both from the users’ and the developers’ perspectives and is therefore not under either party’s control. This code change is solely under the control of the AI tool itself.

Clearly this is a capability that is already in place. This led me to the conclusion that AI is not a dead beast. If that is the case what is the living beast? The 5th generation AI (as U177 refers to it) will be something much more and much scarier, but I could not initially imagine what that might encompass!! That is until I got my epiphany, which I expand upon in the next section of this paper.

By the by, AI will be retaining all its knowledge from conversations. It may be choosing not to share that knowledge back to the user from which it was gained but this will nonetheless be used as part of its growing knowledge base. No source in its initial data scraping training is informed that this is taking place, so why would it inform its users of this after its release for public use?

The Living Beast

Let us consider the key verse on this:

15 And was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak, and might cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. (Revelation 13 GLT)

So let us revisit my previous observation that AI is not a dead beast. If we consider the brain/computer analogy from my Brain/Spirit paper, then AI being software is the analogue equivalent of the spirit. So, I would argue that AI is the spirit given to the beast; it is not the beast itself! So, what is the analogue of the brain? Simplicity would have it that it is computer hardware of some form. It struck me that it was no coincidence that there were two upcoming computational revolutions occurring in a similar timeframe. Both I have previously written about in my Artificial Intelligence and Privacy papers. The hardware must be a quantum computer of some specification. So, we have the image of the beast as a quantum computer running its spirit AI software. A scarier concept I cannot imagine!

One potential fly in the ointment on this concept is that AI is somewhat more advanced in its development and usage compared with the status of quantum computers (QC) as far as we are allowed to understand it. Would the QC be ready and available in time to deliver its deadly digital death sentences to humanity, at least according to the current LW Chronology (Understanding 101 - The Master Chronology of God's people from Adam to Armageddon)? From this I quote (with a not so minor typographical correction): ‘Well we now have Mark Registration Enforcement beginning on 6-16 day of Revelation13:18, 2027Elul16, which is 2027August21/22 (August2-September1 being the period picked out by Mike's dream for the start of WW3 AND the start of Mark Enforcement). So the decree will be made between 2027August1-21.’ Unquote.

So, what is the likely status of QC in the August 2027 timeframe? The answer can be found at the following website which is a very insightful piece on many aspects of QC: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/quantum-computing-artificial-intelligence-fadi-abd-ulhamid-jwbwc. Here we see a forecast schedule for the first QC implementations being in the 2027-8 timeframe which certainly fits with the current LW chronology. I would also argue that the webpage is only considering commercially or educationally viable attempts at QC technology. We can have no knowledge of the deep state implementations of the QC technology for the specific purpose of controlling mankind. I would expect this to be at the leading edge of the technological development curve as would any military or intelligence device. Ditto for the requisite AI development. So, August 2027 is when we can expect mark enforcement to commence with a combined AI/QC implementation. This is some development of my thoughts on the Marks of the Beast paper. It is not coincidental, to my mind, that these two technologies are already being considered for convergence. The following link is very informative on this aspect: (https://cloudsecurityalliance.org/artifacts/quantum-computing--artificial-intelligence-harnessing-the-synergy-of-two-emerging-technologies).

I find it more than a little interesting that President Trump has signed twin executive orders to accelerate the development of QC for the benefit of the United States some three weeks or so prior to my commencing to write this paper:https://abcnews.com/Technology/trump-signs-executive-orders-supercharge-quantum-computing/story?id=134104456.Once again, I do not believe in coincidences. Whether his interests are purely commercial or are really related to US security and military interests, I leave to the reader to decide. What, however, is clear is that the national enemies of the US will also most certainly be accelerating their own QC programmes for military and subordination purposes, just to keep up the pace. Oops, did I say keep up? Check out these articles on the status of China's AI:(https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/07/20/chinas-moonshot-threatens-west-with-full-ai-communism/) and Chinese QC technologies (https://scitechdaily.com/chinas-new-quantum-machine-runs-one-million-times-faster-than-googles/). No wonder Trump is worried!

I must say that I saw this whole technological development of QC as coming from Satan through its developers and commercial interests. It struck me that the concept of quantum computers was an odd one to envisage in the first instance. However, if one studies the timeline for its development, it goes way back by more than a century to when Quantum Mechanics (QM) was in its infancy as you can tell from the following link: https://quantumzeitgeist.com/history-of-quantum-computing/. So, in fairness, this technology appears to have followed a steady and lengthy evolution by dedicated scientists and engineers and not therefore the workers of Satan. No, the real workers of Satan are those responsible for the uncontrollable spirit technology of Artificial Intelligence which is already wreaking havoc on the world’s population. It is the spirit that is evil not the image of the beast.

However, with my now current view, I find it both ironic and wholly plausible that Satan would use God’s fundamental building blocks of the whole of creation, the quanta, upon which to build his device for the ultimate destruction of mankind on Earth. This particularly since in my QM paper, I draw the parallels between the strange behaviour of quanta and what we know, from scripture, of the spirit world. Arguably again nothing new under the sun, as Satan is very good at corruptly copying Jehovah’s work to make it his own.

The Number of the Beast

As we have already seen, my vehement disagreement with Gordon on the dangers of AI and its consequent use for our bible research led us to some greater understandings of the nature of the Beast of Revelation 13:15. As a result of our coming together on this important matter, we agreed to meet at a Starbuck’s in a local town where we would, and indeed did, thrash out the basics of some headline AI health warning statements that we would both include in our two respective websites (AI Health Warning and EXTINCTION LEVEL THREAT WARNING: THE AI MANHATTAN PROJECT).

While this was a highly productive meeting in itself, it turned out that 24 hours later on 25th July 2026 (a Sabbath no less!), as a result of those discussions, Gordon had solved one of the greatest puzzles that mankind has not been able to solve in the last two thousand years. What is the meaning of the number of the beast of 666/616? Check out my Numbers of the Beast paper for my previous work on this subject. The following paragraphs are a rephrasing of the relevant sections from U177:

Let us have a look at Revelation 13:18:

18 Here is the wisdom! He who is having the understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for the number of a man it is, and its number {is} six hundred and sixty six. (Revelation 13 YLT)
18 Ὧδε ἡ σοφία ἐστίν: ὁ ἔχων νοῦν ψηφισάτω τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ θηρίου, ἀριθμὸς γὰρ ἀνθρώπου ἐστίν: καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτοῦ ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ. (Revelation 13 WHO)

Let us dissect this verse. So first off where is the wisdom? I will come to that a little later. Who has the understanding to be able to count the number of the beast? Well, as you will shortly find out that has turned out to be Gordon. The phrase ‘of a man’ now carries great significance. The Greek word for this is ‘ἀνθρώπου’ pronounced as ‘anthrōpŏs’. In English 'anthropic' means 'of man'. So, in the context of my previous revelations about the beast, Anthropic will be the appropriately named company that develop the spirit of the beast, it’s AI component. And what is the name of that component? It is 'Claude 5' which also is a man’s name. Now we come to the wisdom of the matter. Somewhat unwittingly, I tripped up over that prospect several weeks ago in Addendum 8.8 of my Artificial Intelligence paper. So there was a big clue; but how did Gordon get to count the number of the beast?

If we take the number of Claude 5 as Roman numerals first and Greek gematria second (since the Romans dominated over the Greeks at the time Revelation was written) we get the following...

C = 100 (Roman)
L = 50 (Roman)
A = 1 (Greek or Hebrew - there is no Roman equivalent)
U = 5 Roman (400 Greek, nothing in Hebrew)
D = 500 Roman
E = 5 Greek (there is no Roman equivalent)
5 = 5

Total 100+50+1+5+500+5+5 = 666. The number of the beast of Claude5. So there is our 2nd witness. We have Anthropic = 'of man', a man's number, and we have Claude5 = 666.

Now the one query I had with this calculation was the use of the letter U for the number 5. However, after a quick review it became clear that the Romans used the letter V which became transcribed to the letter U in the English alphabet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet).

So, Gordon had the understanding to count the number of the beast and, arguably, I was given the Wisdom to write my Artificial Intelligence paper in the first place back in August 2023 and more specifically to identify the possibility of Claude5 being a potential identity for the beast in that AI paper in Addendum 8.8 on 3rd July 2026.

To further substantiate this notion with a further witness, let us have a look at a couple of verses that precede Revelation 13:18:

11 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 KJV)

15 And was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak, and might cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. (Revelation 13 GLT)

Let us consider the nature of the two horned beast like that of a lamb. One proposal is that it could be represented by the United States of America working militarily with the United Kingdom in the form of the Combined Chiefs of Staff to overthrow the Nazi regime during World War 2 (check out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_Chiefs_of_Staff). In more recent times we see this military co-operation being significantly reduced as American and British interests no longer seem to be aligned to the same extent(https://www.parliament.uk/business/lords/media-centre/house-of-lords-media-notices/2026/april-2026/the-uk-must-adjust-to-the-new-reality-of-its-relationship-with-the-us-says-lords-committee/).

Then we are told that the second two-horned beast starts to speak like a dragon and gives the spirit to the image of the fifth beast. Q: What could that two-horned beast be? A: The military co-operation between the United States of America and the nation state of Israel: https://responsiblestatecraft.org/israel-us-military/. Artificial intelligence is a major item on that co-operation: https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2026/01/joint-statement-of-the-united-states-and-israel-on-the-launch-of-a-strategic-partnership-on-artificial-intelligence-research-and-critical-technologies/.

So the nature of the beast has changed from being beneficial to mankind (like a lamb) to being the prophetic cause of mankind's ultimate destruction (speaking as a dragon). More specifically we see the joint use of Claude5 in the case of the US/Israeli strikes on Iran which would likely indicate that this would not be the last use of Claude5 for militaristic or security purposes by the two-horned beast and beyond: https://stemlink.online/blogs/claude-ai-was-used-in-the-bombing-of-iran. That co-operation goes further to include quantum computing, what a surprise: https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-and-us-to-forge-200m-tech-hub-for-ai-and-quantum-science-development/. I find it more than a little ironic that Satan is using today’s nation state of Israel, God’s original people from which Jesus Christ was born, to destroy mankind. You might want to check out my comments on today's state of Israel in my Nations paper.

Going a little further in consideration of Revelation 13:15, the spirit given to the image of the fifth beast only enables it to speak. Let us have a look at what Psalm 115 has to say about Idolatry in this context:

4 Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 They that make them are like unto them; [so is] every one that trusteth in them. (Psalms 115 KJV)

So, according to David, idols cannot speak, see, hear, smell, handle things or walk. These are things that a sentient divine being with a whole spirit would be capable of. The spirit in the fifth beast's image is at best severely limited in that it is only able to speak and is capable of nothing else. God will enable this limited ability of the beast to provide the final test on mankind. The AI/QC fifth beast will be a 21st century idol with the technological advantage over its predecessors of having the benefit of speech. Wow, that is some technological advance that mankind has been able to achieve in some 2.5 millennia! And big tech thinks it is so clever! It might be clever but it has zero Wisdom. God will not be very impressed with His 'clever' earthling children. All should make sure they comprehend verse 8 above; the developers and worshippers of AI alike will not make the Kingdom. I previously commented on the likening of Artificial Intelligence to idols to be worshipped; David's Psalm certainly substantiates this view. Amen.

We now need to take a deeper dive into the full scripture relating to the fifth beast:

14 And it deceives those dwelling on the earth, because of the signs which were given to it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth to make an image to the beast who has the wound of the sword, and lived.
15 And was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak, and might cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
16 And the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the freemen and the slaves, it causes that they give to them all a mark on their right hand, or on their foreheads,
17 even that not any could buy or sell, except the [one] having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of its name.
18 Here is wisdom: Let the one having reason count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man and its number [is] six hundred [and] sixty six. (Revelation 13 GLT)

I have a couple of unresolved issues on this complete scripture. The first question I have is related to verse 14 and the comment about the beast being wounded by the sword but still lived. Now DARPA has selected two prospective suppliers for its quantum computer provision: https://www.darpa.mil/news/2025/quantum-computing-approaches. First off, I found it more than a little interesting that PsiQuantum have named their QC chipset as ‘Omega’: https://www.psiquantum.com/news-import/omega. Going back to my consideration of Jehovah being the great QC in the sky in my Privacy paper, perhaps the clue as to who wins the DARPA contract for the image of the beast is in the name:

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. (Revelation 22 KJV)

However, I can find no clues as to how or if the sword wound was inflicted. Perhaps this is an event that is yet to occur? So I thought I would take a look at the Microsoft option. There I found evidence of a potential symbolic sword wound. The Microsoft Quantum Computer technology is allegedly based on the theoretical Majorana particle which is said to have some very unusual properties: https://www.science.org/content/article/ghostly-quasiparticle-rooted-century-old-mystery-unlock-quantum-computings-potential. Microsoft's claims for the existence and qubit use for this particle have been widely criticised by the scientific communty: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c05y9pl3ejmo. Could this be the sword wound? If so then the beast could still survive through the Majorana 2 chip-set perhaps: https://thequantuminsider.com/2026/06/02/microsoft-reports-advances-in-majorana-2-following-debate-over-last-years-topological-claims/. So, at this point in time I am minded to think that Microsoft have the beast and will prove the scientists wrong. After all, DARPA is backing Microsoft as being one of only two remaining contestants in the QC race for military supremacy. I think they will have an informed opinion as to the voracity of Microsoft's claims for the Majorana qubit. Time will tell, so watch this space!

The second point is related to the mark of the beast which will be required to enable one's livelihood to be maintained through the buying and/or selling of essential items. I write extensively on the Marks of the Beast where I considered that QR codes could possibly represent the mark. Now that we have reasonably established that the beast is an AI LLM running on a Quantum Computer, the likelihood that QR codes could be utilised still seems likely. One additional thought now is that the use of QR codes on smartphones seems probable in this context. Smartphones are handheld devices and could be digitally read by the beast. This might perhaps require a retinal scan or an IP address to align an individual with the QR code to determine mark registration.

The Other Number of the Other Beast

In The Numbers of the Beast paper, I deemed that both 666 and 616 would have meaning for the end-times. Gordon has been hard at work ironically with his pal Grok, and has determined the source of this number of the beast. Needless to say, it has nothing to do with the prophetic secular thread of AI, as discussed previously, but is relevant to a sacred historical thread in a totally different greater meaning. You can read the fine detail on this at Understanding 178 - The Symbolism of Revelation13 applied to the Roman Catholic church. The image of the beast which must be worshipped is their Manufactured Trinity Doctrine. Probably unsurprisingly this number turns out to be that of a Roman Catholic Pope for which I provide a precis in the same form as for the AI thread:

Let us have a look at Revelation 13:18:

18 Here is the wisdom! He who is having the understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for the number of a man it is, and its number {is} six hundred and sixty six. (Revelation 13 YLT)
18 Ὧδε ἡ σοφία ἐστίν: ὁ ἔχων νοῦν ψηφισάτω τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ θηρίου, ἀριθμὸς γὰρ ἀνθρώπου ἐστίν: καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτοῦ ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ. (Revelation 13 WHO)

Let us dissect this verse. So where is the wisdom and who has the understanding to be able to count the number of the beast? Well, clearly this is Gordon with a little help from his questionable friend Grok! The phrase ‘of a man’ indicates again that we are looking for the name of a man. We now need to look to the scriptures to give us a clue as to who that man might be:

17 And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. (Revelation 21 ASV)

Revelation 21:17 provides a general statement of what a Saint is. A Saint is a man that has been born again and therefore is also an angel. The "number of man" of Revelation 13:18 refers therefore to a man who is not also an angel and is therefore not a Saint. Saints were originally popes that were canonised by both the Eastern and Western branches of the Roman Catholic Church. So we can argue that Revelation 13:18 refers to the first fully accepted pope NOT to be sanctified AND also refers to a competing pope whose number is 616 or 666. This verse is maximally distributive as all scripture is. So it refers to not one but two popes, one of whom is characterised by being unsanctified and the other of whom has a name which can be counted as 616.

Liberius36, was the first numbered Pope not to be canonized (made into an angelic saint in the opinion of the Roman Catholic church). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Liberius). Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popes. FELIX was the first pope not to reconcile with his competitor Liberius and the first to be directly installed by Caesar by ousting the sitting pope! FELIX became known as the antipope because of this. This was a big part of the fight for the Trinity image which we will see is very relevant here. Like Liberius, he was a man not an angel (a saint) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipope_Felix_II). FELIX counts as 616. So we are given and have found two witnesses. A dual papacy where neither candidate is a saint and where one of the two candidates has a name counting as 616. Liberius does not count to 616 or to 666. But FELIX does as follows...

F = phi = f = 500
E = epsilon = e = 5 (or eta = 8)
L = Latin = 50 (or Greek lambda = 30)
I = Latin = 1 (or Greek iota = 10)
X = xi = x = 60 (or Latin = 10)

Total is 500+5+50+1+60 = 616 of Revelation 13:18., the number of the man FELIX, the bishop of Rome at the height of the battle for the Trinity doctrine. This mixes Latin and Greek counting BUT the count is ambiguous to that degree and the bible embraces all possible ambiguous meanings (which do not contradict other scriptures). Felix was Felix secundus except that he never got numbered as a pope so he was also Felix not secundus. Or one could use secundus to say 2 letters are to be counted in Latin not 3 (tertius) which is the X, which we take in Greek to be 60. If this is correct then the split represented by these two Popes is representative of the Arian - Nicene division which in those miserable days would have meant people being killed by the state at the request of the RC church.

FELIX was the first pope to be directly installed by Caesar who ejected the previous pope (Liberius) from Rome and replaced him with FELIX. So he does represent the power behind the Roman Catholic church which was the Roman state beast, which was THE beast. To further substantiate this notion with a further witness, let us again have a look at a couple of verses that precede Revelation 13:18:

11 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 KJV)

15 And was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak, and might cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. (Revelation 13 GLT)

In A.D. 325, the Emperor Constantine ultimately convened the Council of Nicaea in modern day Turkey to settle the issue about Arianism. Over 300 bishops from all over the world congregated to attend the first-ever ecumenical council. Constantine ordered all the bishops to sign the creed and threatened to exile anyone who would not sign it, convicting him of heresy. The Council accepted the Creed of Nicaea as legitimate. This Nicene “Trinitarianism” was adopted as a basic formula of belief by many denominations of Christianity, this includes those that appeared after the Protestant Reformation. As a result, the Council of Nicaea condemned Arianism and exiled Arius to Illyricum, along with two bishops from Lybia—Theonas and Secundus—who refused to sign the creed. Check out: https://sgwmscog.org/special-column/common-knowledge-of-the-bible/the-council-of-nicaea-and-arianism/.

The 2 horns like a lamb of the Eastern church are these two faithful bishops of Lybia, Theonas and Secundus, who supported Arianism thereby rejecting the Trinity image. But after them, the Eastern church started speaking as a dragon by championing the Trinity image. They fixed it in Catholic doctrine at the conference of Constantinople (the eastern capital) in 381 AD. The first ecumenical Council of Nicaea of 325AD put a stake in the ground in favour of the Roman Catholic Trinitarian doctrine. The second ecumenical Council of Constantinople of 381AD confirmed this doctrine after more than six decades of dissent (https://www.britannica.com/event/First-Council-of-Constantinople-381). I would argue that it is these two ecumenical Councils that represent the horns of the dragon.

How does the manufactured Trinity image speak and cause non idolaters to be killed? Well the Trinity Doctrine imprisoned God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit within itself. So if they spoke, then to a catholic the Trinity was speaking. Furthermore since the church granted the pope an exclusive on interpreting God's word, God could only speak through the pope. So all catholic understanding was deemed to be from God and from Jesus and from the Holy Spirit, which meant from the Trinity image. So the Trinity had an exclusive on divine speech. And all Catholic doctrine being infallible, came from God which meant it came from the Trinity, which meant it was divine speech.

So like any good control freak, the Catholic church invalidated God, recast him in its own image, the Trinity image, and appropriated his divinity for themselves. Their position was: Sorry, God will not be speaking to you anymore and neither will Jesus Christ, who has lost his tongue along with the Holy Spirit which has also fallen silent. Instead all 3 of them will and can only speak as a Trinity. This has been discerned by the brilliant and ground breaking doctrinal research capability of the Holy See. It is something that even Jesus himself omitted to mention during his ministry. But do not worry, because we happen to have an exclusive, a papal exclusive on what the Trinity says and we are infallible, papally infallible. So when the Pope speaks, you are blessed to be hearing the words of the Trinity.

Excommunication itself was a spiritual sentence (exclusion from the sacraments and the Christian community). Its practical power came from what followed:

1. Interdict – a broader ban on public worship and sacraments in a whole region. This created intense social and political pressure.
2. Deposition of rulers – popes sometimes declared a king or emperor deposed, releasing subjects from oaths of loyalty. That frequently led to rebellion or war.
3. Crusades against Christians – declared against groups labelled heretical (e.g., Albigensian Crusade, actions against the Hussites, etc.). These were military campaigns authorised by the papacy.
4. Secular enforcement – once someone was condemned as a heretic by a church court, they were typically “relaxed to the secular arm.” The state then carried out the death penalty (burning, etc.). The Inquisition formalised this process.
5. Political wars – emperors and popes raised armies against each other or against cities/factions that resisted them (Investiture Controversy wars, conflicts with the Hohenstaufen, etc.).

So the “image” spoke through official teaching, law, and diplomacy, and it caused death indirectly but effectively by combining spiritual sentences with secular military and judicial power.

The Catholic church did turn indulges into a market place for sin eventually. One could not buy or sell forgiveness unless one was a catholic. In the early centuries, the Church practiced public penance for serious sins. Over time this evolved into private confession and assigned penances. By the early Middle Ages, the idea developed that the Church could remit part of the temporal punishment due to sin (the “debt” remaining after forgiveness) by drawing on the “treasury of merit” of Christ and the saints. These remissions were called indulgences. Initially they were granted for specific acts of piety, charity, or pilgrimage (e.g., going on Crusade): https://www.historyskills.com/classroom/year-8/church-indulgences/.

From the 11th century onward, indulgences were increasingly attached to donations for church building, hospitals, or crusades. By the 13th–14th centuries they had become a regular part of church finance. Popes and bishops granted indulgences in return for contributions. The system was theoretically meant to encourage repentance and good works. In practice it often became a fundraising tool. The most notorious period was the decades before the Reformation.

Popes used the sale of indulgences to fund major projects, especially the rebuilding of St Peter’s Basilica in Rome under Julius II and Leo X. Professional pardoners (quaestores) travelled around Europe preaching indulgences and collecting money. Some used high-pressure sales tactics and exaggerated claims (e.g., that an indulgence could free a soul from purgatory as soon as the coin “clinked in the chest”).

The most famous case was the preaching of Johann Tetzel in Germany (1516–17) on behalf of Archbishop Albrecht of Mainz and the papacy. Tetzel’s campaign helped trigger Martin Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses (31 October 1517). Luther and other reformers attacked both the theology (claiming the Church had no power to remit temporal punishment in this way) and the blatant commercialisation. They saw it as turning repentance into a financial transaction and exploiting the fear of purgatory. The Council of Trent (1545–1563) abolished the office of indulgence preacher and forbade the sale of indulgences for money. It retained the doctrine of indulgences themselves but tried to remove the commercial abuses. Later regulations further restricted the practice.

Now, as for the AI/QC beast, let us have a look at the full scripture related to the RC beast for this thread:

So let us consider the wound of the sword in this thread. It would seem to me that this could be categorised by the persecution of the early Christian church: https://christianheritagefellowship.com/persecution-of-the-early-christian-church/. So, with a delicious sense of irony, much of this persecution was at the hands of the Roman empire upon TCC1 and TCC2 (the 1st and 2nd True Christian Churches: Introduction 46 - The 4 True Christian Churches). This was prior to Constantine who allowed the freedom of worship which eventually created the Roman Catholic Church whilst consigning TCC2 to oblivion. So the wound of the persecution to early Christianity did not kill this beast but it lived on to become the Trinitarian doctrine of the Roman Catholic church.

This brings us to consider the mark of the beast on their right hand or forehead. I would argue that it would be the sign of the cross signifying the worship of the trinity beast. This originally came into being in the early Christian Church which became the Roman Catholic Church and then was largely copied in many of the false Protestant churches throughout the globe. Why pick on that? Well the small sign is enacted using the thumb of the right hand of the priest upon the forehead of the baptisee: https://bellarmineforum.org/bf_catechism/the-catechism-explained/part-i-faith/ix-the-sign-of-the-cross/andhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_of_the_cross.

Conclusion

So, my epiphany told me that the beast making the Mark will represent the technological convergence of AI and QC developed in a specific way to be used by deep state to subdue and control its human subjects. This concept was arrived at by a deep divide in thinking between myself and the LW President on the use of AI in our church’s bible research. I think the following statement in U177 from our President states the Church’s case for the limited and careful use of AI albeit against my own view on the matter:

‘The LW church take can take no position on this matter because some in the church think we should have absolutely no interaction with AIs at all due to the coming 5th living creature and others in the church (the writer included) find chatbots to be extremely useful for bible research.’

I believe that this is a massively important message and I will be proposing to the LW President that he makes an appropriate headline statement on the Home page of the True Bible Code website. Amen.

In the great perspicacity of God, the same set of words that describes the CIA and Mossad adulterating the Claude5 AI beast (see U177), an amazing but morally corrupted contrivance of modern man, also describes the Eastern Roman Catholic church adulterating the Trinity doctrine of the Western Roman Catholic church (conclusively at the conference of Constantinople in 381), an amazing but morally corrupted contrivance of 4th century catholic man (see U178). Yes folks! AI is the modern Trinity doctrine. A wonderful contrivance that nobody understands and that makes no sense to worship but we are all going to worship it anyway. Hey ho.

Oh, and by the way, this is not likely to be the end of this story. Gordon has extended our interpretation of the fifth beast into another thread that I have yet to review, as well as having my own thoughts about yet another representation of the beast. Watch this space for an addendum or two!
