The War That Isn’t What It Seems: Is Global Conflict a Fear Psyop to Usher in the Mark of the Beast?

“And he causeth all… to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell…” — Revelation 13:16–17


Introduction: The Illusion of Division, The Reality of Control

For decades, the dominant world narrative has been defined by rival superpowers: the U.S. versus China, NATO versus Russia, Israel versus Iran, East versus West. But beneath the surface of these supposed rivalries, a deeper agenda may be at play—one that transcends national borders and pits not country against country, but humanity against a rising global control system.

The question must be asked plainly:
Are global tensions escalating toward World War III—or is the fear of war being engineered to drive the world into accepting the Beast System described in Revelation?


The Named Powers—Apparent Enemies, Hidden Unity

Countries most commonly cited in apocalyptic predictions or geopolitical conflict include:

  • United States
  • Russia
  • China
  • United Kingdom
  • Israel

While media and political rhetoric paint these nations as ideological enemies, a pattern emerges when you follow the money, data, and technology:
they all participate in a shared infrastructure of surveillance, AI development, digital currency research, and biometric ID programs.

Examples:

  • CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) are being developed simultaneously in China (e-yuan), the U.S. (FedNow), UK, and EU.
  • AI surveillance and facial recognition are expanding globally—including in democratic and authoritarian regimes alike.
  • Biometric identity systems (e.g., India’s Aadhaar, Microsoft’s ID2020) are promoted under the guise of “inclusion.”
  • Pandemic responses, lockdown technologies, and digital health passports were nearly identical in China, the U.S., and Europe.

If these nations were truly ideological enemies, why are their surveillance systems becoming eerily similar?


The Hegelian Trap – Problem, Reaction, Solution

The elites’ favorite strategy is not brute force but manipulated consent:

StepDescription
ProblemEngineer or allow a crisis: war scare, bioterrorism, economic collapse.
ReactionThe public panics and demands safety and stability.
SolutionPresent the pre-planned answer: digital ID, central control, biometric tracking, cashless society.

This is not new. The same formula has been used for:

  • The Patriot Act after 9/11
  • Lockdowns after COVID
  • Financial surveillance after digital fraud fears
  • Now, potentially: world war fears to justify a global governance and Mark-like control system

The Beast System Isn’t Coming. It’s Here.

Everything needed to enforce a Revelation 13-style system already exists:

Prophetic FeaturePresent Technology
Mark in hand/foreheadBiometric scanners, brain chips (Neuralink), palm payments (Amazon One)
Control of buying/sellingCBDCs, programmable money, ESG scores
Image of the Beast speaksAI-powered digital avatars and holograms
False signs & wondersDeepfakes, synthetic media, predictive algorithms
Global worship of BeastTechnocratic utopianism, transhumanist philosophy, cult of progress

The infrastructure has been laid. The only thing missing is mass compliance, which often requires mass fear.


Will There Be War—or Just the Threat of War?

The world may experience controlled chaos, proxy wars, or even a limited nuclear event—but the overarching goal is not mutual destruction. It is global unification through fear.

Why a Real World War Might Be Less Useful Than Fear of One:

  • War risks destroying infrastructure, supply chains, and resources needed for control.
  • Fear creates obedience without resistance.
  • Fear justifies censorship, deplatforming, rationing, surveillance, and digital restrictions.
  • War threats can be stretched indefinitely—offering a constant state of emergency, like Orwell’s 1984.

This isn’t to say wars won’t happen. But their function is psychological, not patriotic.


Who Are the Real Powers Behind the Curtain?

These governments are not independent actors. They often serve:

  • Central banks (Federal Reserve, IMF, BIS)
  • Supranational organizations (WEF, UN, WHO, CFR, Trilateral Commission)
  • Private foundations (Rockefeller, Gates, Soros-backed entities)
  • Corporate technocrats (BlackRock, Vanguard, Microsoft, Amazon, Google)
  • Intelligence networks (CIA, NSA, Mossad, GCHQ, FSB, MSS)

Together, they form the invisible hand guiding the visible drama.


What the Bible Warned Us About

  • “By peace he shall destroy many.” – Daniel 8:25
    (The Antichrist system offers “peace” as a bait for control)
  • “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him…” – Revelation 13:8
    (This requires global psychological submission, not just war)
  • “He deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles…” – Revelation 13:14
    (Technological “miracles” will be used to awe and control)

Conclusion: The War Is Real—But It’s Not What You Think

Yes, there may be military confrontations.
Yes, the powers appear to clash.
But the true war is not Russia vs. America, or China vs. NATO.

The true war is:

Truth vs. Deception
Freedom vs. Control
Jesus vs. the Beast

If the public continues to trust in nations and parties instead of God and His Word, they will fall into the trap of false security, begging for peace and receiving chains.


How to Prepare:

  • Reject fear-based obedience
  • Stay rooted in Scripture and the Holy Spirit
  • Unplug from propaganda media
  • Build local community and resilience
  • Resist digital ID, CBDCs, and AI dependency
  • Above all: Surrender to Jesus, who alone saves

“Be not deceived.” – Luke 21:8
“Fear not them which kill the body… but fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” – Matthew 10:28
