More than likely you are correct.
Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
The Devil’s “seed” (Nephilim/Demons/”aliens)....
Your quote:
“I think it would have been nice if those that contributed to the Bible had warned us and spelled it out clearly. Why keep it a secret and a mystery? Why keep us guessing? What was the purpose behind that?”
Probably because our common enemy knows The Bible much better than any of us mortals do and he will use it to modify his tactics for the future.
Think about this in Revelation.
There are 28 Judgements in Revelation.
7 Seals
7 Trumpets
7 Bowls
and...
7 Thunders
God doesn’t let John write down what those 7 Thunder Judgements are. They are “Aces” up the sleeve for Our God.
He’s not giving His whole game plan away.
The same thing can be said for keeping it a mystery to us and everybody else (spiritual/human) who can read our Lord’s Word.
Keeping it cryptic, means He will use it against our enemy.
Just like the Crucifixion - He made a mockery of the fools who wanted to crucify our God. It sealed their fate and they thought they had won. LOL!

Interesting take. Thanks.
The purifying fire is the judgement. Those who hold onto darkness cannot exist in the fire as it burns off their impurities.
The Holy Spirit is here and getting stronger. It is the mildest form of the purifying fire. Preparing the way for Heaven on earth.
He very well could be working behind the scenes
Many, many world 🌍 “leaders” act like they are being directed by an unseen force.
At an absolute minimum, the spirit of antichrist.
(Why is the A/C and his false prophet thrown into the Lake of Fire first?)
I think the Bible is telling us in Revelation 13, rather plainly, that they exercise all the power of Satan and his authority.
So egregious, He doesn’t even wait until the Great White Throne Judgement.
They lead the charge against the Tribulation Saints and the Beast and his armies went up against Jesus Christ at Armageddon.
No trial; immediately cast into the Lake of Fire.
(He will solve the World’s problems for 42 months)
Yes and IMHO then comes the Mark of the Beast
And then shall be Great Tribulation such as never was.
Stay in the word and prayer for spiritual discernment and strength.
Some are without any doubt but the floodgates will be opened..I think it could be Demons flood in from another plane..
Many are in the hip pocket of Satan..
I have heard that but suspect it’s a human army plus back under Reagan Administration the Chinese told the US they could afford to lose 200 million and not even notice it in the event of a nuclear exchange.
Absolutely.
I’m always surprised why governments and military war planners don’t take the Bible seriously - instead they laugh and scorn it.
If they studied it, they would be prepared to know that most of the Earth will be an uninhabitable hell-hole for at least 3.5 years before the end.
That said, what really can anybody do to “prep” for the Tribulation?
Two people in Scripture are referred to as “Son of Perdition”:
Judas Iscariot
&
The Little Horn that rises (A/C)
What separates him and his false prophet from all the rest of the damned?
“That said, what really can anybody do to “prep” for the Tribulation?”
My only plans are to pray hard (and harder) and stay right with God. Don’t fall away, don’t take the mark, stay strong and stand up in defiance of evil awaiting the glorious final day return of Jesus.
I’m also praying that whether I’m alive or dead by then, that I get to witness (I won’t even need popcorn) the last day event of Jesus kicking Satan back to hell. I truly think that I have “standing” for that request, don’t you? lol
“Some are without any doubt but the floodgates will be opened..I think it could be Demons flood in from another plane..”
I don’t know or think that God would allow that. I think they are already here and have been from the beginning. Death is just another dimension or “plane of existence”... and God hasn’t, to my knowledge, allowed anyone to come back from that other dimension, from the dead, to fight against His people yet.
Yes, that’s about all you can do.
Walk in the Faith, read Scripture daily, pray daily and preach The Gospel to your friends/family/colleagues.
Satan and his minions will be terrified of us when we get our glorified bodies. This is why his man curses at us from the Earth (Rev 13:6).
“Satan and his minions will be terrified of us when we get our glorified bodies. This is why his man curses at us from the Earth (Rev 13:6).”
I was kinda hoping that Satan & Minions would be already “dealt with” by that time.
By that point God has left the room and turned the Earth over to Satan. Will people be saved yes but will immediately pay with their life’s.

The Antichrist will be against the Christ, meaning he will be an enemy of the Christ, and he will try to replace the Christ, meaning he will be a false Christ.
....
Antichrist according to scripture:
Denying the Son- Islam and Judaism
Denying He came in the flesh- The Papacy/Pope
Antichrist 1500s:
The Papacy/Pope
The Antichrist’s false Christ:
Born on Roman and Antichrist December 25
Circumcised on Roman and Antichrist January 1
Presented in the temple on Roman and Antichrist February 2
Died on Roman and Antichrist goddess frigg day
Laid in tomb on Roman and Antichrist saturn day
Raised on Roman and Antichrist day of the sun
Anybody willing to stop accepting Daniel’s 4th Beast and Antichrist Papacy/Pope’s version as truth?
Or is that the only thing people can buy and sell in the end times?
What the Beast and Antichrist sell?
Anybody willing to buy gold, refined by fire, instead?
Didn’t Klaus Schwab just demand the world governments to hand over power to him?
I never thought America would fall to a demonic, old, bald headed nazi, who pulls the strings of a Kenyan rock sucking commie married to a tranny, that controls a pedo sniffing, dementia suffering idiot and his crack head son, with an army of perverted, gender confused, rainbow flag waving banshees called liberals.
