...how to become a false prophet.

How can my faithful honour two covenants? They say in their hearts, Let us gather the wheat to store in our barn; So that we may have need of nothing; yet, do not realize that you are blind and wretched and poor. Yet, you do honour my sacrament and that which is pleasing to the Lord. Hear ye O kings and priests! Hear what the Lord has to say in his indignation. You honour that which is sacrificed upon altars—that which is dead; and you forget about that which is living and in your presence. Man was made for the sabbath and Not the sabbath for man. For your sake, I bring these things into remembrance: For the ship of the papacy is to be anchored between the two pillars. Ye hypocrites! Ye defilers of the temple! Your hands have carved out your idols and in effect, denied the word, and made the sabbath for man.
Therefore, since your hands have created idols worthy of devotion, I shall sanctify the temple. I shall bring it to pass; For idols were the beginning of evil and they shall be then end of evil. I the Lord hath spoken it.
If you receive a prophet in the name of a prophet you shall receive a prophets’ reward. Your hearts have not turned to my servant John the Baptist. Where is the devotion to this prophet? For in all the kingdom of Heaven, there is none greater than John the Baptist. John was sent by God to bear witness of the Light; and how do ye honour him?
He was a reed that measured the temple—that brought it to pass through baptism. He blessed you with water and I blessed you with fire; so that you, in the same faith as John, may bear witness to the Light.
His wrath is kindled but a little; yet his arm is still outstretched…
How can my people honour two covenants or serve two masters?
; For they will hate the one and love the other; love the one and hate the other.
A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. (Hebrews 8: 13)


(Christ vs. Nietzsche) The bridge to a higher man…
Mark 13:
"22": For falseChrists and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
"23": But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
"24": But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
"25": And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
"26": And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
"27": And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Matthew 13:
"52": Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Prelude:

...Who are these that speak without counsel? If thou knowest the All then declare it unto me!
Know thine enemies; For what does it profit thee to not know them?... Revive the book of 'fiction' to write the book of evil. Our ways are higher than your ways. Our thoughts are higher than your thoughts, ye of little knowledge; as your folly leads you nowhere; but running in circles, chasing your tail like a dog.
You think dancing with the devil is a game?
...Like children playing in a field that's not even they’re own...The Kingdom is within you and without you…

The True destiny of Satanism…is to infiltrate the Catholic Church and bring it down as Christ promised…Kill them with God.
In the gospel of Thomas, Jesus said the following:

16. Jesus said, "Perhaps people think that I have come to cast peace upon the world. They do not know that I have come to cast conflicts upon the earth: fire, sword, war.
For there will be five in a house: there'll be three against two and two against three, father against son and son against father, and they will stand alone."

21 Mary said to Jesus, "What are your disciples like?"
He said, They are like little children living in a field that is not theirs. when the owners of the field come, they will say, "Give us back our field." They take off their clothes in front of them in order to give it back to them, and they return their field to them.
For this reason I say, if the owners of a house know that a thief is coming, they will be on guard before the thief arrives and will not let the thief break into their house (their domain) and steal their possessions.
As for you, then, be on guard against the world. Prepare yourselves with great strength, so the robbers can't find a way to get to you, for the trouble you expect will come.
Let there be among you a person who understands.
When the crop ripened, he came quickly carrying a sickle and harvested it. Anyone here with two good ears had better listen!

35 Jesus said, "One can't enter a strong person's house and take it by force without tying his hands. Then one can loot his house."

98 Jesus said, The Father's kingdom is like a person who wanted to kill someone powerful. While still at home he drew his sword and thrust it into the wall to find out whether his hand would go in. Then he killed the powerful one.

71 Jesus said, "I will destroy [this] house, and no one will be able to build it [...]."


Note—that in the bible, Jesus says, those who live by the sword shall fall by the sword. Also note—Jesus said, that he sends not peace but a sword. A metaphorical sword. And those that live by the sword, as Jesus did, shall fall by the sword;
But show me the stone that the builders rejected. It is the cornerstone. A cornerstone that I have found to be true, otherwise the church denies—is that-ideas were meant to be built upon. Just as Christ laid the foundation for the church, the builders of the "house upon the foundation"—rejected many ideas, such as;

27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Does a Christian really love Thee enemy? Ask a Christian if (he) loves the devil as he should love an enemy. They will deny Christ in this way as they have no love for ‘their’ True enemy, called the devil or Satan or the Great tempter. For their fear of God is—that the devil exists.
Who is the most powerful man in the world?

98 Jesus said, The Father's kingdom is like a person who wanted to kill someone powerful. While still at home he drew his sword and thrust it into the wall to find out whether his hand would go in. Then he killed the powerful one.

Christ is.
And who must come to kill him as Christ expects?…

The parable of discord: KJMatthew: 13
"24": Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
"25": But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
"26": But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
"27": So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
"28": He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
"29": But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
"30": Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

…The devil must come…The antichrist must come…Father and son.

Jesus said, First the devil and his angels will come…

A key to knowledge: Transcendent-symbology, using similarities in characters through abstraction. A
The devil: d6 e6 vi6 l
(yes, I am.)

Of course this will never happen because as Jesus said, A man cannot serve two masters; for he will love the one and hate the other; He will hate the one and love the other. You cannot serve God and mammon, ye of little knowledge.
Why did you go out into the field…to see a reed shaken by the wind?…

81 Jesus said, "Let one who has become wealthy reign, and let one who has power renounce ."

Is there a philosophical tie-in upcoming?

Why must I explain this to you? You can't draw philosophical conclusions from what you have read?
I'm not a scientific philospher. I use other methods to attain a philosophical goal. Not everything is scientific. There are other methods such as dialectics, metaphors and allegories, poetry--that convey philosophy.
It is a now-a-days, common misconception that philosophy is scientific. When you mix philosophy with science then the piece just becomes a proposition that science outweighs, or is the same as logic.
Let me make that more clear. Science is a harlot when it comes to the philosophical world. It is a relatively new comer in the philosophical world. Philosophy already has its' medium for Truth--that which is logic. Science deals with observation; and the facts become subjective through the nature of science. Logic, which is the bridegroom of philosophy, deals with necessary absolutes; that which is objective through the nature of logic. Science can't convey logic thoroughly since it relies on observational fact and can't necessarily answer its' own questions since it can't make logical deductions. Science complicates Truth so much that more questions are raised than answers.
It is in the connections that we make between what we read and what we know, what we conceptualize and what we experience, that makes for philosophical 'ties'.
If you have a specific question then just ask and I shall answer.

I wanted to shed some light upon my philosophical piece by rendering some light from Platos' "the allegory of the cave", from The Republic (book vii). It is to convey that both pieces are internally dialectic and allegorical, in essence. From one cave to another...shadows fleeting upon the walls of the cavern of the mind...

http://www.historyguide.org/intellect/allegory.html
[Socrates] And now, I said, let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened: --Behold! human beings living in a underground cave, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the cave; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which marionette players have in front of them, over which they show the puppets.
[Glaucon] I see.
[Socrates] And do you see, I said, men passing along the wall carrying all sorts of vessels, and statues and figures of animals made of wood and stone and various materials, which appear over the wall? Some of them are talking, others silent.
[Glaucon] You have shown me a strange image, and they are strange prisoners.
[Socrates] Like ourselves, I replied; and they see only their own shadows, or the shadows of one another, which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave?
[Glaucon] True, he said; how could they see anything but the shadows if they were never allowed to move their heads?
[Socrates] And of the objects which are being carried in like manner they would only see the shadows?
[Glaucon] Yes, he said.
[Socrates] And if they were able to converse with one another, would they not suppose that they were naming what was actually before them?
[Glaucon] Very true.
[Socrates] And suppose further that the prison had an echo which came from the other side, would they not be sure to fancy when one of the passers-by spoke that the voice which they heard came from the passing shadow?
[Glaucon] No question, he replied.
[Socrates] To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images.
[Glaucon] That is certain.
[Socrates] And now look again, and see what will naturally follow if the prisoners are released and disabused of their error. At first, when any of them is liberated and compelled suddenly to stand up and turn his neck round and walk and look towards the light, he will suffer sharp pains; the glare will distress him, and he will be unable to see the realities of which in his former state he had seen the shadows; and then conceive some one saying to him, that what he saw before was an illusion, but that now, when he is approaching nearer to being and his eye is turned towards more real existence, he has a clearer vision, -what will be his reply? And you may further imagine that his instructor is pointing to the objects as they pass and requiring him to name them, -will he not be perplexed? Will he not fancy that the shadows which he formerly saw are truer than the objects which are now shown to him?
[Glaucon] Far truer.
[Socrates] And if he is compelled to look straight at the light, will he not have a pain in his eyes which will make him turn away to take and take in the objects of vision which he can see, and which he will conceive to be in reality clearer than the things which are now being shown to him?
[Glaucon] True, he now.
[Socrates] And suppose once more, that he is reluctantly dragged up a steep and rugged ascent, and held fast until he 's forced into the presence of the sun himself, is he not likely to be pained and irritated? When he approaches the light his eyes will be dazzled, and he will not be able to see anything at all of what are now called realities.
[Glaucon] Not all in a moment, he said.
[Socrates] He will require to grow accustomed to the sight of the upper world. And first he will see the shadows best, next the reflections of men and other objects in the water, and then the objects themselves; then he will gaze upon the light of the moon and the stars and the spangled heaven; and he will see the sky and the stars by night better than the sun or the light of the sun by day?
[Glaucon] Certainly.
[Socrates] Last of he will be able to see the sun, and not mere reflections of him in the water, but he will see him in his own proper place, and not in another; and he will contemplate him as he is.
[Glaucon] Certainly.
[Socrates] He will then proceed to argue that this is he who gives the season and the years, and is the guardian of all that is in the visible world, and in a certain way the cause of all things which he and his fellows have been accustomed to behold?
[Glaucon] Clearly, he said, he would first see the sun and then reason about him.
[Socrates] And when he remembered his old habitation, and the wisdom of the cave and his fellow-prisoners, do you not suppose that he would felicitate himself on the change, and pity them?
[Glaucon] Certainly, he would.
[Socrates] And if they were in the habit of conferring honors among themselves on those who were quickest to observe the passing shadows and to remark which of them went before, and which followed after, and which were together; and who were therefore best able to draw conclusions as to the future, do you think that he would care for such honors and glories, or envy the possessors of them? Would he not say with Homer,
Better to be the poor servant of a poor master,
and to endure anything, rather than think as they do and live after their manner?...
