Little by little, waves of conversation, protest, and angry reactions were beginning to swell among the crowd. Those who had accompanied the Antichrist tried to cheer and applaud their leader, but they were too few and the crowd was too large. Their cheers were silenced and eventually stopped. Mark Beaulieu raised his hands like Caesar calling for the applause of the crowds, but there was no applause. Finally, a black-robed Orthodox rabbi leapt up in the midst of the crowd and yelled out, “This is blasphemy! What you are saying is wrong. We will never worship an idol; we will never bow to your statue. You are not our Messiah. You are an impostor! You are the tool of Satan!”

Immediately other Orthodox Jews in the crowd began to rise to their feet, yelling and shouting, and throwing stones at the men on the podium. Armed guards raced to the defense of the leader and fired their weapons in the air to quell the disturbance, but to no avail. The last thing Mark Beaulieu wanted to do was set off a riot. Spewing profanities, the Antichrist hurried to the safety of his helicopter and ordered his pilot to make it a quick flight back to Lod Airport.

On board his jet transport, the leader was out of control. His features changed to those of Satan. “I hate them all!” he roared. “I detest them! I will destroy them! They are human scum. They are not fit to live. I will kill them! I will kill them all!”

From that moment on, his overriding passion became the destruction of Jerusalem and the subjugation of the Jewish people.

AS THE UNIVERSAL CREDIT PLAN of Tauriq Haddad went into effect, the unaffected citizens of the world were faced with an impossible choice: Either they would be forced to deny their deeply held beliefs or become starving vagabonds.

To the vast mass of people, those who had been among the affected, there was no moral dilemma. They had, for some time, acknowledged that the American president was god incarnate. They had seen his miracles, they had attended his church, they had been uplifted and inspired by his wisdom. In truth, they were already a part of the Antichrist system. If an oath of allegiance and a tattoo were all that was needed to receive access to money, nothing could hold them back.

It was a very simple process for each of them. A person would give the oath, receive the laser tattoo, then trot happily off to the supermarket. Each one wanted peace, job security, and a stable world. For the first time in years, these things were attainable. Why listen to the crazed fundamentalists with their silly talk about Satan, demons, God’s judgment, and the “mark of the beast”?
