Pandemonium's Engine: How the End of the Church Age, the Rise of Transhumanism, and the Coming of the bermensch (Overman) Herald Satans Imminent and Final Assault on the Creation of God
In every generation, when dangers gather, there is a group of men and women courageous enough to confront evil and inform the populace.
Sometimes unpleasant truths need to be presented; most of us would rather stand back and kick a toe in the dirt. You know, let someone else do it.
Someone else is courageous enough to tell us the truth. Tom Horn & Friends research, publish, and speak about some of the most important topics of our time. Pandemonium’s Engine is the vehicle through which Tom and an elite team of commentators are informing a still-sleeping public about radical changes coming to our culture…very soon.
In particular, the technological advances that have brought us to the doorstep of life-altering realities are such that the man-on-the-street is struggling to make sense of our world.
The book you are about to read is a landmark offering, making such issues as “transhumanism” compelling reading. A shadowy world of intrigue, power-grabs, and seismic changes in daily life is the stuff of sci-fi movies. Yet the authors contributing to Pandemonium’s Engine show us in disturbing detail that these mind-blowing technologies are quite real.
For example, Cris D. Putnam writes in “Christian Transhumanism: Pandemonium’s Latest Ploy”:
“Transhumanism is a transnational technocratic trend that promises to break through human biological limitations by radically redesigning humanity.”
Sound like a campy Star Trek episode, or a movie plot from Stanley Kubrick?
As a matter of fact, they are, but rooted in present reality. Change agents in our world are working feverishly to harness the powers of human ingenuity, to wreak havoc on our way of life.
Chuck Missler writes in “Pandora’s Box for the 21st Century? The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” that the seductiveness of medical advances mask a diabolical agenda. For example, he mentions that the drive to, among other things, develop receptors that could impinge the constriction of blood vessels and thus the scourge of hypertension is a source of optimism. As are drugs that inhibit damage from brain trauma, or genetic research that could cure diabetes.
But Chuck knows that some researchers would trample over ethical boundaries and move past such positive research into frontiers humans were not meant to go.
Frederick Meekins’ chapter, “Examples of Transhumanism in Popular Culture” identifies how we have been brought along to accept technologies. We’ve been conditioned, by popular television series like Star Trek, and films like Spiderman, to subtly be prepared for radical, sweeping tampering with the human mind and body.
John McTernan writes about “embodied intelligence” robots, biocomputers, and other space-age technologies many of us have made the mistake of believing lie in the realm of fiction.
Providing perspective is Noah Hutchings, who traces advances in technology from the time of another Noah, to the present time.
All these authors, and several more, provide a searing report on just how ambitious the builders of the New Babel really are. Pandemonium’s Engine will stun you.
That’s good. You need to wake up. History shows that those who make reasonable preparations are much better equipped to deal with colossal changes than those who prefer to fully trust their handlers.
I well remember the days when my uncle was on the ground floor of computer technology, tinkering with those machines the size of refrigerators. I remember reading George Orwell’s 1984 and laughing that such a far-in-the-future could actually arrive.

My copy is signed by Dr. Future himself.
There is some interesting speculation and food for thought in this book. Just know that it is pretty much all speculation and educated guesses. If you read it, keep in mind the dangers of the issues at hand are real, but exercise Acts 17:11 to make sure the scriptural assertions are correct.
Again, it's speculation, good warnings for the future, but if you know your Bible well enough, you should be able to pick up on any dangers coming anyhow.

A DIVERSE COLLECTION OF ESSAYS ON ESCHATOLOGICAL TOPICS, AND MORE
Jim Fletcher wrote in the Foreword to this 2011 book, “Tom Horn & Friends research, publish, and speak about some of the most important topics of our time. [This book] is the vehicle through which Tom and an elite team of commentators are informing a still-sleeping public about radical changes coming to our culture… very soon. In particular, the technological advances that have brought us to the doorstep of life-altering realities are such that the man-on-the-street is struggling to make sense of our world. The book you are about to read is .. making issues such as ‘transhumanism’ compelling reading. A shadowy world of intrigue, power-grabs, and seismic changes in daily life is the stuff of sci-fi movies. Yet the authors contributing to [this book] show us in disturbing detail that these mind-blowing technologies are quite real.”
Thomas Horn states in the opening essay, “The highest government and social think tanks in the world are currently focused on the timeframe of ‘2012 and beyond’ as an event horizon, during which the first baby steps in … the ‘Human Enhancement Revolution’ will begin (behind which I see a demonic spirit in the form of a technocratic goddess… quickly resulting in a technological, cultural, and metaphysical shift dominated by a new species of unrecognizably superior humans… in March of this year and American Academy of Religion consultation group issued a call for papers on aspects of ‘Transhumanism and Religion’… I received an email … inviting me to submit a paper on the subject of transhumanism briefly highlighting some of my concerns. As this book heads to editing, I have not heard whether the AAR will ask me to present my paper, but… I have included it below as the opening chapter to this book.” (Pg. 1-3)
In his paper, he states, “While [I believe]… the theory of ‘DNA corruption as an intended method for halting the coming of Christ’ has merit, an alternative or additional reason the Watchers may have blended living organisms exists. This theory grew … from my need to incorporate the voluminous historical texts … into a consistent account corresponding with consistent Scriptural interpretation… I came to believe … that the overriding motive for whatever the Watchers were doing with the DNA of various species had to be understood within the context of their foremost goal, which was to leave their plane of existence and to enter ours… I eventually hypothesized that the Watchers blended species in the way they did in order to create a soulless or spiritless body into which they could extend themselves.” (Pg. 43-44)
Gary Stearman observes, “No one knows how life came into being; it is the province of God… When computer engineering enters the picture, no one can predict the results… Genetic tampering is nothing new to the human race. Once, there was a time when the human genome was altered by evil power from the realm of Satan. This activity apparently lasted for millennia, both before and after the Great Flood of Noah. Their history, when reviewed, reveals exactly how the Lord regards such tampering.” (Pg. 137)
He recounts, “J. Craig Venter announced that, for the first time, a synthetic chromosome had been created… [CNN asked him] ‘Did you create new life?’ VENTER: ‘We created a new cell. It’s alive. But we didn’t create life from scratch.’ … What they have done is take four chemicals… and feed them into a cell in a programmed sequence based upon patterns already observed in nature… These, they injected into an ALREADY LIVING CELL. In their own words, they ‘transformed existing life into new life.’ … Far from CREATING live, [Venter’s lab] has placed its imprint upon a life already in existence. This is not creation; it is genetic meddling.” (Pg. 150-152)
Douglas Woodward observes that in the near future, “‘Being spiritual’ (in a New Age sense) will be revered in the general culture. However, this form of spirituality will have little in common with the Bible’s insistence that spirituality will be about personal experience, encountering a different form of consciousness that will demonstrate our linkage to ‘a universal mind’ composed of human ‘supra-consciousness’ hinted at by the Jungian notion of the ‘collective unconscious.’ To achieve the ‘pinnacle of humanity’ we must experience this ‘baptism of higher consciousness.’” (Pg. 163) `
He continues, “Clearly. The Bible isn’t bashful in relating stories about giants. Some of its most famous stories and plot lines require acknowledging this amazing history as crucial both to the meaning of the passage and the underlying theology. Far from being a peripheral issue, this fantastic topic turns out to be a central feature of the Bible’s story of redemption.” (Pg. 173)
John McTernan notes, “The natural progression is to enhance the human race by sharpening the senses. If the DNA is now understood and can be manipulated, why not increase the eyesight and hearing? With the addition of eagle DNA, man could see like an eagle. By placing deer DNA, man could hear like a deer. The same enhancement could be accomplished for smell… The scientists have already placed human DNA in animals such as mice and pigs; however, there is no report of animal DNA yet being placed in humans. When the science of DNA tampering is perfected, there will be a cry to enhance humans with animal DNA..” (Pg. 267)
Sharon Gilbert states, “What’s interesting is that Noah was commanded to bring on board both clean and UNCLEAN animals. Why not just the clean ones? What made an animal ‘unclean’?... Could it be that UNCLEAN animals contained viruses and prions harmful to man?... is it possible that these viruses and prions are the result of fallen angel interbreeding with these unclean animals? Hence making them a preferred embodiment for demons and a very ‘unclean’ animal indeed!... the people of Israel were not to be ‘defiled’ by unclean foods. The Hebrew here is ‘tame,’ which means to be polluted… or contaminated. The word is also used of whoredom, particularly with idols… This is an interesting juxtaposition: diet restrictions and whoredom with demons. Is it a stretch to say that both have a common denominator, such that both our physical and spiritual health are at risk?” (Pg. 355-356)

A Very interesting take on how the End Times in the bible will come about. Though people misjudge me I have read the bible front to back and remember the majority of the Bible. This book I would say could very well happen if the end of the Bible is true or becomes true events. I found it to be an interesting read and rather enjoyed it.

Better then I expected....this book has a unique and interesting take on eschatological issues vis genetic engineering and other Frankenstein like possibilities by our science elite and the dangers that could come from all this.....

Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
.....so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. Luke 17:26-27, 30
The premise of twelve essays in Pandemonium's Engine revolve around the above Bible verses. All essays have different authors; each author assigned a chapter. Most authors understand Genesis 6, regarding the nephilim, to mean the children born to fallen angels and daughters of men were genetically modified creating nephilim thus changing God's creation into something impure and evil, as satan would have it. God preserved the only pure family carrying God's designed bloodline and not adulterated by satan's modification, Noah.
Fast forward to present day when GMO crops are the norm, AI is all the rage, MRNA technology is pulsing through many of our veins, gender ideology has men & women swapping clothes and body parts, and genetically modified humans are very likely walking the earth (Click HERE to see "ISIS" escorting the Coptic Christians to their death on a Libyan beach in 2015. Notice the size of those executioners?)
These essays postulate Jesus will return, as prophesied repeatedly in the Bible, once conditions on earth are the same as in the days of Noah and Lot. Since the authors all believe genetic modification was occurring in the days of Noah and genetic modification is going on now, they refer to the Luke passage to infer Jesus will be coming soon. These authors are actually sounding an alarm warning us of all the evidence. The book does not give off "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" vibe. It's probably not fair of my review to hit this aspect so hard.
The actual essays go into thorough detail referencing a variety of research and studies and science and theology. Because I'm not overly enthralled with science-y slants, I'm grateful for the repetition between chapters. The more I hear it, the more I can grasp onto it.
This text is a nice companion to Carl Teichrib's Game of Gods, which I recommend whole heartedly to everyone. In fact, you can find Carl on page 297, chapter 10.

Talks about the end times and transhumanism and coming of the (Overman) Herald.

Just read it yourself. I gave it a five. at first I didn't read it because Thomas Horn wrote it a number of years ago but he is prescient, thorough and brilliant in his scientific analysis and also in his eschatological exegesis with regard to the integration of biblical principles and how the prophets can be interpreted in fresh light considering the A.I and computer programming
and HE HAS RECENTLY DIED.. I wish I got this in Hard copy... I will have to re read it now.. and get in hard copy..
