Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, April 17, 2023, and this is Episode #16 of Series 2023. This episode is titled “The Mark of the Beast: What You Should Know and Why”.
Quite likely, you have heard of the mark of the beast. If not, you will hear about it in this message. So pay close attention.
What is the mark of the beast, what should you know about it, and why?
The mark of the beast is a sign of the last days, as predicted in the Bible. Specifically, it is a mark that will be placed on and in the hands or the foreheads of those who will give allegiance to the AntiChrist and worship him during the seven-year period of unspeakable terror known as the Tribulation.
One of the signs that the implementation of the mark of the beast is getting closer and closer is the growing move by the globalists toward trans-humanism. The American Heritage Dictionary defines trans-humanism as the “belief that humans should strive to transcend the physical limitations of the mind and body by technological means.”
An article by Christian Evidence titled “The Rise of Transhumanism” and published on February 20, 2023, describes trans-humanism as follows: “Transhumanism is a philosophical, scientific, and essentially religious movement that seeks to merge humans with emerging technology, such as brain chips and genetic engineering. By doing so, transhumanists believe that we can enhance our intellectual and physical capacities; transcend our biological limitations, including death; and create a more evolved species they call the ‘posthuman.'” *
Influential globalists, like Jewish historian and social scientist Yuval Noah Harari, and Karl Schwab, founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), are teaching that mankind is moving toward a new level of perfection—a level of immortality, even— where, by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other modern computer technology, man will no longer die but live forever on a Utopian earth, an earth the globalists are trying to transform through deliberate climate change, the destruction of our food supply, and the promotion of a vaccine that has killed more people than it has helped.
So, what does the mark of the beast have to do with all of this?
It is possible that the mark of the beast will be the means by which a human will be turned into a trans-human. In taking the mark of the beast, a person will receive some kind of substance—whether biological or technological, probably a combination of both—that could possibly alter his DNA from the way God created it to an unnatural DNA that no longer makes him human. This new hybrid creature will be called a “trans-human” and will be the modern-day version of the Nephilim mentioned in the Bible in Genesis, chapter 6.
Scripture tells us in Matthew 24: 37 that “as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.” Just as there were Nephilim in Noah’s day—hybrid creatures who were part human and part demonic as a result of the sexual intercourse that occurred between fallen angels and human women—so will there be hybrid creatures at our Lord’s second coming, when He returns in all His glory to judge the earth as Lord of lords and King of kings. Hallelujah!
So, what does the mark of the beast mean to you as an individual, and why do you need to be aware of it and what it does? Here are some critically important reasons:
1__During the Tribulation, no one will be able to buy or sell anything unless he has taken the mark of the beast. Of course, we just saw that taking the mark of the beast means possibly allowing one’s DNA to be altered so that one will possibly no longer be human but trans-human. In other words, those who take the mark will possibly be hybrid creatures, half-man and half-machine, and may no longer be capable of being saved. Jesus died to save humans, not trans-humans. So, taking the mark of the beast means no hope of salvation, only the prospect of eternal damnation.
Let’s take a look at Revelation 14: 9-11:
“Then a third angel followed them, shouting, “Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark on the forehead or on the hand must drink the wine of God’s anger. It has been poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath. And they will be tormented with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb. The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for they have worshiped the beast and his statue and have accepted the mark of his name.”
You do NOT want to take the mark of the beast!
2__If you are here during the Tribulation, you will be forced to worship the Beast, also known as the AntiChrist. If you refuse, you will be beheaded, most likely by guillotine. Yes, I said beheaded. The guillotine, prevalent during the French Revolution, will likely once again be reinstated and reserved for those who oppose the AntiChrist in any way.
3__As the globalists like to say, “You will not own anything and be happy.” You will be a slave of the State and under constant surveillance. The digital currency system soon to be put into place will control how and where you spend your money based on a social credit score, much like what is currently being used in China. Your credit score will be calculated based on your compliance—or non-compliance—with the globalist agenda.
For example, if you accept the current craze of perversion in the world–like abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, a new world order under a globalist government, Covid vaccine compliance, and worship of the AntiChrist–you will have a high social score and will very likely be permitted to use your money as you wish and to travel more freely. If you do not accept the globalist agenda and the brazen sin of the culture, you will receive a low social score and may not even be able to access any of your money at all or travel beyond your home. You will be totally confined under the merciless control of the AntiChrist.
None of this sounds good, does it? But you can escape the Tribulation with those of us who follow Jesus if you choose now to accept Him as your Savior and Lord, if you choose to be born again. You see, those who are Christ-followers will not have to go through the horrors of the Tribulation. Instead, the Lord Himself will rescue us from this cesspool that our world has become. He will remove us from it in a cataclysmic event known as the Rapture.
In other words, He will remove from the earth all those who have repented of their sin, have been born again, and obey His Word. Those who have not repented, or have not been born again, or have not obeyed His Word will be left behind to experience the Tribulation. This will be a period of seven horrific years in which most of the human race will die. Whatever you do, don’t get left behind. Accept Jesus Christ as Your Savior and Lord right now.
How? Just pray this simple prayer with me:
Lord Jesus, I want to escape the wrath to come. I do not want to be here during the Tribulation. So, I ask You to save me and deliver me. I receive You now as my Savior and my Lord. I ask that You would forgive me and make of me what You created me to be. Amen.
If you have acknowledged that you are a sinner, if you have repented of sinning against the Most High God, and if you have received Jesus as your Savior and Lord, you are now a born-again child of God.

Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, March 13, 2023, and this is Episode #11 of Series 2023. This episode is titled “The Totalitarian Tiptoe”.
What is the Totalitarian Tiptoe? The Totalitarian Tiptoe is a term commonly used to indicate the gradual descent or fall of a society from freedom to totalitarianism. Another term for this slow and subtle decline is gradualism.
This downward move from a free society to a totalitarian society is nothing new. Ever since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, the human condition has been atrophic in nature, meaning it has always tended toward decline. Yes, there have been periods of upward movement when great spiritual awakenings have occurred, but eventually, such awakenings are followed by another cycle of decline, by another downward spiral. Such a downward spiral has been taking place in our country for the last 50 to 100 years and is now accelerating in its pace.
The transition from freedom to totalitarianism does not occur overnight. Instead, it occurs in a two-steps-forward, one-step backward pattern. What do I mean?
I mean that for every two steps forward totalitarianism takes in infringing upon the rights of the people, it goes only one step backward when the people push back. In ceding one step back to the people, totalitarianism causes the people to feel that they have won. But, in reality, the people have won back only one of the two steps (or rights being stolen) of the totalitarian tiptoe, while all the while totalitarianism has actually moved forward one step. In other words, totalitarianism has succeeded in stealing one right. What the people don’t realize is that their victory has been only partial. In reality, the people have conceded one step of advancement to totalitarianism and lost one of their freedoms.
So what we witness is a dance of two steps forward, one step back. In this dance, the totalitarian partner never goes back the full two steps when pushed back by the people. The totalitarian partner goes back only one of the two steps, thereby gaining a step forward with each dance move. The people, thinking they have made progress, have in reality retained only one step of freedom and conceded the other.
So, there is a slow and subtle creeping forward of the totalitarian agenda as the people become increasingly satisfied with a partial win. Applying the law of diminishing returns, eventually the people will have conceded all of their freedom to a totalitarian government.
By nature, government expands in its reach for power and control. Unless stopped by the people, it will eventually take complete control. Case in point: the Vaccine, commonly called the Jab. It started out as the belief that there actually was a health hazard. As always, good people want to cooperate in solving a problem that affects their fellow man. But what these good people did not realize is that they were being set up by a totalitarian regime whose objective was to control and subdue the population.
Fear will never result in freedom. Freedom is the result of faith. When we
There is a well-known Scripture verse in Romans 10: 17 that states, “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” The first half of this verse reveals a very important principle: Faith comes by hearing. In other words, whatever we hear often enough, we will eventually believe. This makes it extremely important to ascertain whether what we hear is true.
“If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.”
True freedom comes only through Jesus Christ. If you want to be free in every area of your life, pray this simple prayer with me now:
Lord Jesus, I want to be free. Your Word says that only You can set me free. So I receive You now as my Savior and my Lord. I receive the freedom You died to give me. Thank You for saving me. Amen.
If you have acknowledged that you are a sinner, if you have repented of sinning against the Most High God, and if you have received Jesus as your Savior and Lord, you are now a born-again child of God. Write to me at info@maryanndiorio.com and request my free e-booklet titled After You’re Born Again. It will help you get started in your exciting life journey with Jesus.

The Church in America is on the verge of a tremendous spiritual awakening, an awakening that will first be fueled by persecution unlike anything we have ever seen before in this land. Indeed, a prophetic word given in my home church during the month of November gave this warning to the Church: “Prepare for the fire of persecution!”But the Church is not ready for this persecution. For the most part, the Church in America has been weak and lukewarm. Flabby and lazy. Consumed with the world and not with the things of God. As a result, the Church has been deceived and has subverted the divine order of things.In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. MaryAnn Diorio seeks to help equip the saints for the work of true, integritous, and effective ministry. As a teacher in the Body of Christ, it is her burning desire to help correct this devastating error. In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. Diorio has outlined a plan of action for strengthening the Church through uncompromising obedience to the Word of God. This plan of action is based on her own 52 years of walking with the Lord and being led by His Holy Spirit.If you are a born-again believer and member of the Body of Christ, make this book a top reading priority.

Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, December 5, 2022, and this is Episode #37 of Series 2022. This episode is titled “Where Will You Spend Forever?”
Many people live today as though life on this earth has no end. In fact, the globalist agenda is seeking to create eternal life through artificial intelligence and the creation of trans-human creatures that are part human and part machine. The Bible describes this mingling of man and machine in the vision of the beast seen by King Nebuchadnezzar in the Book of Daniel, a vision in which the king sees a large statue with feet of clay and iron.
Without getting into extensive detail, many Bible scholars today believe that the two feet of the statue—one foot made of clay and the other foot made of iron—represent our current era’s attempt genetically to modify the human being into a different species called a trans-human. This trans-human purportedly will be half man and half machine, operated by artificial intelligence, more commonly known as AI.
Yet, the Bible predicts that all of man’s attempts to create eternal life will ultimately fail because eternal life comes only from God.
Are you living as though you will live forever on this earth? Or are you living with the knowledge that one day you will die?
Your answer to those questions is critically important because it will determine your eternal destiny.
There is a longing in the human heart to live forever. The reason for this longing is that we were created by God indeed to live forever. God’s original plan was that man would live forever in total joy, peace, and love—free from sickness, strife, and pain. But man thwarted that beautiful, original plan by sinning against God. The result was death in all of its forms.
But God loved His man so much that He wanted to redeem him, to give him a second chance. And that’s exactly what God did by sending His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross. On that Cross, Jesus Christ paid the price for man’s sin. He took man’s sin upon Himself and, in exchange, gave man His own righteousness, the very righteousness of God.
Mankind has never witnessed, nor will ever witness, a greater act of love.
But God does not force this gift of eternal life on man. Man must receive it by an act of his free will.
So, the question posed to you today is this: Do you want to receive the eternal life Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead to give you?
You see, since we were originally created to live forever, we will still live forever when we die. But where we live forever is the great question.
If you receive Christ’s gift of eternal life, you will live forever with Him in Heaven. But, if you do not receive His gift of eternal life, you will live forever separated from Him in Hell. The choice is yours.
But, you must make that choice while you are still on this earth. You cannot make it after you die because it will be too late then.
The Lord says this to you today in Deuteronomy 30: 15, 19: “Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death . . . . Choose life.”
Will you choose life today? Will you choose to follow Jesus Christ, the only Savior of the world no matter what anyone says?
If you do, you will spend forever with Him. And there is no better place, my friend, to spend forever than with God Who loves you.
You may be asking, “How do I receive Jesus?” It’s very simple. Follow these three steps:
1. Acknowledge before God that you are a sinner. The Bible says that all of us have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Every single one of us needs a Savior, so acknowledge your sin.
2. Repent of your sin. This means turn away from it and go in the opposite direction.
3. Receive Jesus into your heart by asking Him to come in. The Bible says “To as many as received Him, He gave the power to become the children of God.” (John 1: 12).
So do these three things now. Acknowledge that you are a sinner. Repent of your sin, and invite Jesus into your heart. When you do, you will be filled with deep peace and you will be born again. God will give you a new spirit. Then write to me at info@maryanndiorio.com and request my free e-booklet titled After You’re Born Again. It will help you and get started in your walk with Jesus.

Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, November 28, 2022, and this is Episode #36 of Series 2022. This episode is titled “The Three C’s of the World’s Final Destruction”.
This week’s message is one that will require your full attention as it deals with a very serious topic that affects you and your loved ones. So, please listen with an open mind and an open heart, allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth.
What I am about to explain may surprise you, shock you, or even scare you. But my purpose is not to scare you. My purpose is to prepare you for the extremely difficult times that lie ahead—maybe even before the end of this current year of 2022.
For the past two thousand years, we have been living in what is called the Age of God’s Grace. It has been a period of time in which God has shown mercy on the world and has withheld His judgment on the sin of man. But the Age of Grace is about to close, introducing the Age of God’s Wrath. The Age of God’s Wrath is that time period in history when God will no longer hold back His anger toward mankind’s sin but, instead, will unleash His full fury upon it. You don’t want to be here for that!
Why not?
Well, for one reason, God will show no mercy during His time of wrath, only punishment. For another reason, that punishment will be meted out through the severely dictatorial hand of the AntiChrist, Satan personified, who will rule the earth during the seven years of the Age of God’s Wrath.
Okay, Dr. MaryAnn, so, what specifically will happen during the Age of God’s Wrath, and how will if affect me?
Great question! Let me explain.
The Bible tells us everything we need to know about what lies ahead, both for those who accept Christ as their Savior and Lord and for those who do not. These Bible predictions are called prophecies. Some of these prophecies foretell three key, big-ticket items that are currently taking over our world as I write this message. The big-ticket items have been called the three Cs of the end days and are Climate Change, Crypto-Currency, and Covid.
Let’s take a close look at each one.
1__CLIMATE CHANGE
You may have read that recently, Pope Francis led a delegation of world religious leaders to the COP27 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Egypt. While there, these world religious leaders went to the Mt. Sinai area to announce to the world the Ten Climate Change Commandments that would form the foundation of their New World Order. In other words, these Ten Climate Change Commandments are the foundational document of the one-world religion prophesied in the Bible and spearheaded by none other than Pope Francis.
So, what are these Ten Commandments of Climate Change. Let me list them for you.
1. Think of future generations.
2. Embrace alternative energy sources.
3. Consider pollution’s effect on the poor.
4. Take the bus!
5. Be humble.
6. Don’t become a slave to your phone.
7. Don’t trade online relationships for real ones.
8. Turn off the lights, recycle, and don’t waste food.
9. Educate yourself.
10.Believe you can make a difference.
This blasphemous attempt to re-create the original Ten Commandments given by God to Moses—and without any mention whatsoever of the God Who rules our planet–and announced on this very mountain where the original Ten Commandments were given by God to Moses, form is a key sign that we have entered the last days before the return of Christ. Interestingly, a few months before this event in Egypt, the infamous and occult Georgia Guidestones were suddenly destroyed in the State of Georgia. The Georgia Guidestones listed ten commandments that were similar in many ways to the Ten Commandments of Climate Change introduced by the pope and his heretical cohorts. The commandments on the GeorgiaGuidestones read as follows. Note their similarity to the Ten Commandments of Climate Change.
1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally, resolving external disputes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
10. Be not a cancer on the Earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.
At first glance, many of the points in these documents sound really good. After all, who doesn’t want to prize truth and unite humanity? But that is the nature of deception. It sounds so good or looks so good–at first glance. But when we carefully examine these commandments, we see their grave danger. The grave danger lies in the fact that both sets of commandments worship the creation rather than the Creator. The New World Order has made the earth its god. This is nothing other than idolatry.
Moreover, consider carefully the first commandment of the Georgia Guidestones: Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. The world’s population recently reached eight billion people. The number eight billion is considerably greater than 500,000,000. So, in order for this commandment to be obeyed, 7,500,000,000 people would have to be killed. Interesting! So, how would these people be killed in order to eliminate them? We shall find out a little later in this message.
Continuing with our exploration of the Climate Change Agenda, we learn that its goal is to monitor what is called the carbon footprint of every person. What is the carbon footprint? It is the total amount of carbon dioxide (including methane and nitrous oxide) that your daily activities generate. What daily activities? Activities like eating, driving your car, and heating your house.
So, how will the New World Order government monitor your carbon footprint? Easy. Through what is called a carbon score card or carbon credit card. This card will keep track of your carbon score by maintaining a running total of your carbon footprint usage and by restraining your usage based on your total score. If you exceed your allotted limit, you will no longer be permitted to engage in certain activities.
For instance, if you use more than your heating allotment, you won’t be allowed to buy more gas or electric to heat your house. If you use more than your food allotment, you won’t be allowed to buy more food.
So, how is this credit score calculated? It is calculated based on your political, religious, and social views. Let’s say you want to eat meat twice a week. If you do, points will be deducted from your total carbon credit score card because the globalists don’t want you to eat meat. They want you to eat bugs. (In case you haven’t heard, insects are now being pushed as food for humans. Be sure you read the labels on everything you buy. Look for ingredients like “cricket flour.” I am not joking. If you don’t believe me, read the article at the link at the end of this post titled “Packing Insects for a New Generation of Protein Snacks.”
The four main categories that will be measured to determine your carbon footprint score are: food, consumption, transportation, and household energy. You will be tracked in all of these areas. For example,
__How much meat did you eat?
__How much gas did you use in your car?
__How much electricity and heat did you use in your home?
If you exceed the prescribed limits, you will be penalized by having a limit placed on your future consumption of these products and services.
Let’s move on to item #2:
2__CRYPTO CURRENCY
While the Climate Change agenda has as its goal the creation of a carbon footprint credit score—in other words, a score given to each person based on how well he obeys the ten commandments of climate change— the Crypto-Currency agenda has as its goal the total tracking of our financial transactions based on our religious, political, and social views. In other words, if we agree with the ideology of the New World Order, we will be allowed to buy and sell pretty much what we want. But if we don’t agree, the government will limit–or even block–our purchases. For example, based on our compliance with the government or lack thereof, we will be allotted a certain amount of gasoline to fuel our cars, a certain amount of electricity to light our homes, a certain amount of meat, if any, to include in our diets.
How will this financial surveillance and tracking take place? Through the use of blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is, simply speaking, the means by which every single financial transaction a person makes will be tracked in a record-keeping system that stores your information in a digital block. The block is then attached to other digital blocks of data in the system, thus forming a train or chain of interconnected data blocks. This data can be easily tracked and surveilled with perfect accuracy. Blockchain technology will be used to verify every single financial transaction of every single person in the entire world. No one will escape its surveillance. The end goal of the Crypto-Currency agenda is to control the economy of the world and, in so doing, to control your personal finances.
So how will this affect you?
The tracking of your every financial transaction will work in sync with your carbon footprint score card and be recorded on something like a social credit score card. Everything you purchase will be evaluated in light of your political, religious, and social views. If your views align with the views of the globalist, new world order agenda, you will be allowed to purchase pretty much what you want. If they do not, you won’t.
So, let’s say you are opposed to abortion. Points will then be deducted from your social score card because of your position on abortion. Let’s say you are opposed to homosexuality. Points will be deducted because of your position on homosexuality. Let’s say you refuse to address people by their requested pronouns. Again, you will have a strike against your carbon credit score card.
All of these strikes will diminish your ability to buy and sell.
This use of social credit and carbon footprint score cards will eventually lead to the mark of the beast without which, the Bible states, no one will be able to buy or sell.
Revelation 3: 16-17 NLT: “He [the AntiChrist] required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.”
This mark will be implanted in the hand or forehead of every person who chooses to take it. It will signify that those who take it worship the AntiChrist. Those who refuse to take the mark will be beheaded by the AntiChrist.
The mark of the beast will be some sort of insertion into the body–whether by injection or some form of tattoo—of a substance that will alter your DNA and transform you into a new species of being. You have have heard the term “trans-humanism” being bounced around lately. Well, the mark of the beast will turn all those who take it into trans-humans—beings who are part human and part satanic. As such, they will no longer be capable of being redeemed and, as a consequence of their altered DNA, they will be doomed to hell. Why? Because Jesus came as a human to redeem humans, not trans-humans.
This is the reason that the Bible says this in Revelation 14: 9 of those who take the mark of the beast:
“Then a third angel followed them, shouting, ‘Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark on the forehead or on the hand must drink the wine of God’s anger. It has been poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath. And they will be tormented with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb.”
Well, my friend, are you shaken up yet? We have one more item to go. Number three is COVID.
3__COVID.
The COVID Agenda is the unifying factor among the three agendas of CLIMATE CHANGE, CRYPTO-CURRENCY, and COVID. The reason that the COVID Agenda is the unifying factor among all three agendas is that the COVID Agenda prepared the way for the other two.
The COVID Agenda is the biggest deception ever perpetrated upon human history. It is a globalist plan—engendered decades, if not centuries ago—to destroy the human race. I mentioned earlier that one of the Georgia Guidelines called for reducing the world population to 500,000,000. One of the chief ways the New World Order has attempted to do this is through the Covid vaccine. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people have died from taking this vaccine. Evidence is increasingly emerging that the vaccine affects the heart, causing sudden heart attacks and myocarditis. Why the spike in heart-related deaths among people in their thirties and forties? There is something sinister going on, my friend, and we who follow Christ know what it is. It is the encroachment of the beast system over the entire world, leading to the rise of the AntiChrist and the Great Tribulation.
You see, ever since the plan of salvation was put into motion, Satan has tried to corrupt the human genome in order to prevent the birth of Christ and the preservation of His followers. The Bible tells us that in the days of Noah, humanity was corrupted by the fallen angels who had sexual relations with human women and created hybrid creatures called Nephilim. The DNA of these hybrid offspring—these Nephilim—was corrupted because of the demonic union of supernatural satanic beings with human women. This abominable creation of a hybrid being is the reason God destroyed the world by flood. The Messiah could not come through a lineage whose seed—in other words, whose DNA—was corrupted. Noah and his family were the only humans left on earth whose DNA had not been corrupted by the entrance of hybrid Satanic beings into their lineage.
Today, Satan is still up to his old tricks. He is still trying to corrupt the human race by his attempts to create a hybrid creature–what the world calls today a trans-human. Those who take the mark of the beast will become trans-human and, therefore, will no longer be able to be saved.
How will this corruption of humanity happen? It will very likely happen through a vaccine or an injection of a substance that alters one’s DNA.
Lest you think this is a conspiracy theory, let me warn you that the term “conspiracy theory” has been loosely tossed around in order to discredit those of us who are telling the truth. This careless use of the term conspiracy theory is designed to cast aspersions among truth-tellers who refuse to be moved by the New World Order agenda. The only real conspiracy going on is that instigated by Satan. It is his conspiracy to destroy humanity and to bring everyone to hell with him. In order to do that, he has to discredit Truth and all who speak it, in an attempt to make us look like fools who know nothing.
But Truth will always prevail over Deception.
So, let’s now take a look at the Covid deception and how this vaccine is being used to corrupt humanity.
While the Covid vaccine is not the mark of the beast, it will eventually evolve into the mark of the beast. In other words, the present Covid vaccine is the precursor of what will eventually be the mark of the beast. Why? Because the mark of the beast will inject or insert into the body a coded substance that will alter the God-ordained genetic code and transform it into something else that is no longer human. Indeed, it is not absolutely certain that the current Covid vaccine does not do something similar, or is not, at least, paving the way for genetic modification.
How does this work?
The COVID vaccine injects into the body a substance called mRNA. You have very likely heard the term mRNA in reference to the Covid vaccine. The “m” in the term mRNA stands for messenger. The messenger takes the message coded in the RNA and transmits that message to the cells of the entire body. In the case of the COVID vaccine, the message is: Body, you need to produce more proteins. The coded message in the RNA then begins helping the body to produce more proteins. But it may be producing abnormal proteins that can adversely affect the body.
When the mark of the beast is actually implemented, it will insert into the person’s body a code that will alter that person’s genetic structure—that person’s DNA—thereby changing him from a human to a trans-human. A hybrid being. Since Jesus came as a human man to redeem only humans, this trans-human creature will no longer be able to be redeemed; that is, to be saved. Hence, he or she will go to hell and remain there forever. The Bible warns us that those who take the mark of the beast are doomed forever:
Revelation 14: 9 – “Then a third angel followed them, shouting, “Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark on the forehead or on the hand must drink the wine of God’s anger. It has been poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath. And they will be tormented with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb. The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for they have worshiped the beast and his statue and have accepted the mark of his name.”
Revelation13: 16 – Also he compels all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead [signifying allegiance to the beast.
The COVID Agenda has as its goal the destruction of humanity. Remember the first commandment in the Georgia Guidelines—”Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature”? Well, the COVID vaccine seems to be contributing to that goal. According to a recent analysis conducted for Health 202 by Cynthia Fox, Vice-President at Kaiser Family Foundation, 58% of Corona virus deaths in August 2022 were among people who were vaccinated or boosted. That is a very high percentage for a vaccine that supposedly prevents a disease.
One purpose of the COVID pandemic—or, as some of us prefer to call it, the COVID “plandemic” because we believe it was deliberately planned—was to condition humanity to allow itself to be controlled by a new world order government bent on subjugation. And fear was the motivator.
Fear is diametrically opposed to freedom. Where there is fear, there is no freedom. Where there is freedom, there is no fear.
Ultimately, the globalist agenda with the mark of the beast will come into full effect through the merging of the three agendas: Climate Change, Crypto-Currencey, and Covid. Through the mark, the AntiChrist and his governmental forces will be able to control our activities, our money, and our health. The technology they have developed will employ a digital identification card (a digital ID) that will work through blockchain technology and will be implemented by means of a vaccine of which the Covid vaccine was the forerunner—in other words, through the injection of a DNA-altering substance into the human body that will work like a micro-computer in your physical body to track everything about you: your health, your financial status, and your social status. Already, people are getting the chip so that they can pay for purchases with merely a swipe of their hand over an electronic transaction device.
The Bible tells us that in the last days before the return of Christ in the Rapture, things will be as they were in the days of Noah. What happened in the days of Noah? In the days of Noah, humanity had been genetically corrupted by sexual relations between the fallen angels and the women of that day. Human seed was merged with satanic seed, thereby creating hybrid creatures the Bible calls Nephilim. The reason that Noah and his family were spared is that they alone still possessed DNA that has not been altered and corrupted.
When the Bible states that Noah was found to be righteous, it means that Noah’s DNA was still intact. It had not been corrupted. Everyone else’s DNA has been corrupted by the seed of the serpent that altered the seed of man. But Noah’s DNA was unaltered and pure.
There is so much more to the three C’s of the world’s final destruction. But let me conclude by saying this: All three Cs are in the process of merging. This is a sure sign that the Tribulation—the Age of God’s Wrath—is about to begin. The world stage has already been set up to receive the AntiChrist and his evil system. The day will soon be here when, in order to survive, one will need to abide by the AntiChrist’s agenda. That is, one will need to be climate-compliant, currency-compliant, and Covid-compliant. If one refuses to be compliant in any of these three areas, one will be executed.
Lest you think that what I am saying is not true, just look around you. Even now, any foreigner who travels to the United States must have been vaccinated with the Covid vaccine in order to enter our country. Soon, all international flights will require that one be vaccinated. And in the near future, it is highly likely that even those who fly domestically will have to take the vaccine or else they will not be permitted to fly.
For those who think that things will return to normal, I hate to be the harbinger of bad news, but they won’t. So don’t get your hopes up. Just realize that all that is happening was foretold by Jesus Christ Himself. He is coming back soon for those who believe him and follow him. That’s the only thing you need to consider at this point in time. Do you know Jesus Christ? If not, you will have to go through the Tribulation and will very likely die during the Tribulation. If you accept Jesus Christ now as your Savior and Lord, you will not be left behind. He will remove you from the earth together with all of us who follow Him, and He will take us to Heaven to be with Him forever.
The choice is a no-brainer to me. What is it to you? Accept Jesus Christ now by doing these three things:
1. Acknowledge before God that you are a sinner. 2. Repent of your sin. This means turn away from it and go in the opposite direction. 3. Receive Jesus into your heart by asking Him to come in.
Do these three things now. When you do, you will be filled with deep peace. Then write to me at info@maryanndiorio.com and request my free e-book titled After You’re Born Again. It will help you and get started in your walk with Jesus.

Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, June 7, 2021, and this is Episode #18 of Series 2021. This episode is titled “Are You a Ritual Robot?”
_______________________________
For many years, I belonged to a traditional, mainline church that emphasized ritual over relationship, law over grace, and tradition over the free flow of the Holy Spirit. I was a devoted member of this church and followed all of its tenets to the tee.
Yet, I was dead inside.
One Sunday, when I was in my early twenties, I attended the morning service as usual. On this particular day, I was feeling very discouraged about life. Depressed even. I went to church out of habit–and ritual–but when I left the service that Sunday morning, I felt worse than I had felt before I entered the service.
Something was not right.
As I stood on the front steps of the church, I cried out to God. I said, “God, there has to be something more to You than this. Show me if you are real.” After that heartfelt prayer, I went home as usual, wondering whether or not things would ever change.
Shortly thereafter, things did, indeed, begin to change. For the first time, a young woman asked me a question that changed my life. The question was, “Have you been born again?”
At that time, I had been in my church for 23 years, but I had never once heard the term “born again” preached from the pulpit, nor did I have a clue as to what the term meant. The young woman explained to me that being born again means accepting Jesus Christ as one’s Savior and Lord.
I told her that I already believed in Jesus. But she said that believing in Jesus did not mean I was born again, because, as the Bible says in James 2: 19, even demons believe in Jesus!
Wow! I had never read that. Of course, I had never read the Bible, either. My denomination taught that only priests were qualified to interpret the Bible and that the laity could not, nor should not read this greatest of all books.
The young woman went on to explain that there is a huge difference between giving mental assent to Jesus and receiving Him into one’s heart. The head and the heart are not the same. She further explained that tradition was deceptive in that it made one think that one was saved when one was not. Tradition for the sake of tradition was legalism, not life. One could spend his entire life observing church traditions and still go to Hell.
So, the reason I felt dead on the inside was that I was dead on the inside. I had not yet been born again. I had not asked Jesus to save me so that He could make me alive spiritually by giving me a new spirit full of His eternal life.
In short, I had become a Ritual Robot.
As I began to ponder what the young woman had told me, I asked many questions, both of myself and of others. For example, I asked, “Why did Jesus have to die if my good works could get me to Heaven?” I asked, “How will I know if I have done enough good works to get to Heaven, and when would I know this?” One priest told me that I would not know until after I died. I flinched in disbelief. I did not want to take such a huge risk with my eternal destiny. Who would?
I encourage you, too, to ask questions. Hard questions. God loves questions. And He wants to answer them.
Perhaps you, too, have become a ritual robot. Perhaps you, too, have been going through the motions of religion in the hope that the repetition of such motions will earn you eternal life. But the truth is that eternal life cannot be earned. It is a gift, pure and simple. A precious gift from Jesus Christ to whoever wants to accept it.
What about you? Would you like to receive the precious gift of eternal life that Jesus Christ is offering to you? You know, you are not listening to this podcast or reading this blog post by accident. You are here by divine appointment. Why? Because God loves you. Yes, God loves YOU! And He wants you in His family.
Won’t you accept the Father’s invitation to you today? Won’t you say yes to His offer of the gift of eternal life?
Maybe you’re still wondering if all of this is true? Well, let me paraphrase the question that the great French philosopher, Blaise Pascal, asked: If Jesus Christ is not the Savior but you accept Him, you have nothing to lose. But if Jesus Christ is, indeed, the Savior and you do not accept Him, you have everything to lose.
Will you wager losing your soul for not accepting Christ? Or will you wager gaining eternal life by accepting Christ? The choice is yours.
If you do not accept Christ as your Savior, you have everything to lose. But if you do accept Christ as your Savior, you have everything to gain.
So, pray this simple prayer with me now:
Lord Jesus, I need You. I need You to save me. I need You to have eternal life. So I invite You now into my life. I receive You as my personal Savior and the Lord of my life. Thank You for forgiving me and bringing me into Your family. Thank You for saving me. Thank You for giving me eternal life. I pray this in Your Name. Amen.
If you sincerely prayed this prayer, please write to me at drmaryann@maryanndiorio.com. I would like to send you a free e-booklet that will help you get started in your walk with Christ. I also encourage you to get yourself a Bible and read it every single day. The Bible is God’s love letter to you, His manual for your life. In the Bible, God reveals Who He is, and He teaches you how to live.
Finally, ask the Lord to lead you to the church of His choice for you where you can learn about Him and have fellowship and encouragement with other Christ-Followers. It is critically important in these last days to fellowship with other believers who are mature in Christ and who can guide you as you grow in Him.

But will Amy Torelli be the reason he changes his mind? Miracle in Milan PRINT FORMAT
The Church in America is on the verge of a tremendous spiritual awakening, an awakening that will first be fueled by persecution unlike anything we have ever seen before in this land. Indeed, a prophetic word given in my home church during the month of November gave this warning to the Church: “Prepare for the fire of persecution!”
But the Church is not ready for this persecution. For the most part, the Church in America has been weak and lukewarm. Flabby and lazy. Consumed with the world and not with the things of God. As a result, the Church has been deceived and has subverted the divine order of things.
In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. MaryAnn Diorio seeks to help equip the saints for the work of true, integritous, and effective ministry. As a teacher in the Body of Christ, it is her burning desire to help correct this devastating error.
In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. Diorio has outlined a plan of action for strengthening the Church through uncompromising obedience to the Word of God. This plan of action is based on her own 50 years of walking with the Lord and being led by His Holy Spirit.
If you are a born-again believer and member of the Body of Christ, make this book a top reading priority.
