In the latest episode of Through the Lens on Hope for Our Times, Pastor Curt Reed explores how the Antichrist will rise to global power through deception, flattery and mind control.
Drawing from the book of Daniel and historical parallels to Nazi Germany, Reed warns that “history is repeating itself” as today’s media tactics mirror the propaganda strategies of the Third Reich. “He is going to corrupt by way of flattery,” Reed says, referencing Daniel 11:32. “People love flattery, right? We see that.”

Reed draws a stark comparison between the Antichrist’s future control and the manipulation seen during global crises and political upheavals.
“The final Antichrist and his cohort, the final false prophet, are going to move in that very direction,” he said. “They will be filled with lies, with falsehood, deceiving people on a global governmental stage.”

Citing modern programs like DARPA’s Modeling Influence Pathways, Reed explains how governments are already experimenting with AI-driven media control, warning, “They have just found new ways to do the same old things.”
For those seeking a deeper understanding of what to expect in this breakdown of end-times deception, here are five key takeaways from the video:
- The Antichrist’s rise will mirror the propaganda strategies of Nazi Germany.
- Media manipulation will be central to global deception, just as it was under Goebbels.
- Modern AI and government projects like DARPA’s MIP are laying the groundwork.
- False teachers and emotional manipulation are already preparing people to be deceived.
- Only those who know the Word of God will be able to discern truth from lies.
