The New Year’s Eve drone show in Brazil promised you Jesus Christ but delivered Antichrist coming up from the sea in Revelation 13

On New Year’s Eve in Brazil, a massive drone display over the ocean formed the image of Christ the Redeemer, hovering above the sea before a vast multinational crowd. To most people watching, it was just another impressive display of modern technology blended with religious symbolism. But the imagery was unsettling for one simple reason: in the Bible, the true Jesus Christ never rises from the sea. That’s what Antichrist will do.

“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.” Revelation 13:1 (KJB)

When Jesus comes for His Bride at the Pretribulation Rapture, He will pull us up into the clouds to be with Him as scripture clearly describes. When He returns with us, on white horses, at the Second Advent, we will come down from the heights of Heaven to the Earth. But there is a counterfeit Christ coming, and he comes up from beneath, he is Leviathan the water horse, he is Antichrist.

The return of Jesus Christ at the Second Advent is described with exact precision in Scripture, and it leaves no room for confusion.

“Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” Acts 1:11 KJB

And again:

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.” Revelation 19:11 (KJB)

Jesus ascended into heaven, and He returns from heaven. He does not rise from humanity. He does not emerge from the nations. He does not appear by consensus, technology, or spectacle. Any “Christ figure” that originates from the earth, the sea, or the masses is, by biblical definition, a counterfeit. The actual return of Jesus Christ will be nothing like what Project Bluebeam is conditioning people to think.

On New Year’s Eve in Rio de Janeiro, millions cheered as they watched ‘Christ the Redeemer’ rising from the sea via drone technology. But according to Revelation 13, that’s how Antichrist comes on the scene, he rises from the sea like Leviathan. People are being groomed. pic.twitter.com/jmsxl9oUvz

Technology Is Training The World For Revelation 13

What makes this event especially notable is not just the imagery, but the method. Drone technology allowed an image to appear in the sky, command attention, inspire awe, and evoke religious emotion on demand. This is not accidental. Revelation 13 tells us that the end-times system will revolve around an image, empowered in a way that astonishes the world.

“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” Revelation 13:14 (KJB)

The world is being conditioned to accept the idea that:

• Religious images can appear suddenly
• The sky itself can become a display medium
• Technology can simulate “divine” manifestations
• Crowds should respond emotionally and reverently

This is not the image of the beast yet—but it is practice for his soon-coming arrival after the Rapture of the Church.

The Antichrist Will Look Like A Saviour

One of the most dangerous misunderstandings about the Antichrist is the belief that he will look obviously evil. Scripture teaches the opposite.

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.” Revelation 13:11 (KJB)

A lamb-like appearance. Religious overtones. Familiar symbolism. Gentle presentation. But satanic authority underneath. The Antichrist does not oppose religion—he replaces Christ. He offers peace without repentance, unity without truth, and salvation without the cross. That is why events like this drone display matter. They reveal how easily the world can be moved by engineered wonder, and how quickly people will attach spiritual meaning to technological spectacle. In short, this lost world is being prepared right now to receive Antichrist, and they they don’t even know it. But you do, so go out and tell them, warn them and lead them to salvation in Jesus before it’s too late.
