“The world is quieter now. We just have to listen. If we listen, we can hear God’s plan.”
“Let me tell you about your ‘god’s plan’. Seven billion people on Earth when the infection hit. KV had a ninety-percent kill rate, that’s five point four billion people dead. Crashed and bled out. Dead. Less than one-percent immunity. That left twelve million healthy people, like you, me, and Ethan. The other five hundred and eighty-eight million turned into your dark seekers, and then they got hungry and they killed and fed on everybody. Everybody! Every single person that you or I have ever known is dead! Dead! There is no God!” – Dr. Robert Neville
“Look, Daddy, it’s a butterfly!”
“In 2009, a deadly virus burned through our civilization pushing humankind to the edge of extinction. Dr. Robert Neville dedicated his life to the discovery of a cure and the restoration of humanity. On September 9th, 2012, at approximately 8:49 pm, he discovered that cure. And at 8:52, he gave his life to defend it. We are his legacy. This is his legend. Light up the darkness.”
The above excerpt is taken from the 2007 post-apocalyptic film, I Am Legend, starring Will Smith. Set in New York City, the movie is about a virus that wiped out most of mankind leaving Neville (Will Smith) as one of the last humans in New York, other than nocturnal mutants. Neville is immune to the virus, which was originally created to cure cancer. He eventually creates a remedy using his own blood and sacrifices himself to save humanity. This film, much like thousands of other examples found in pop culture, is an indication of things to come. It is a form of predictive programming or psychological conditioning provided by the media to acquaint the public with planned societal changes. It is a veiled form of mass manipulation or mind control. To be clear, Will Smith’s character is not actually the hero, but rather, the anti-hero. The last line in the film states, “We are his legacy. This is his legend. Light up the darkness.” This seemingly inspirational line is an allusion to the coming deception. It is God’s plan, it is God’s judgment, but this legendary “light” will be the catalyst for global darkness. Like moths to the flame, this “light” will be the virus that transforms mankind into nocturnal mutants.
“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14 KJV)
Out of the flames of this coming “virus” mankind will emerge like the phoenix, blinded to the voice of God and bound to the wings of a butterfly.
Monarch Programming for the Masses
Butterflies are often seen as the personification of a person’s spirit or soul. The ancient Greek word for butterfly (psyche) literally means “soul” or “mind.” They are a symbol of transformation and rebirth. Just as caterpillars transform into butterflies, man also sheds his human body and takes on a spiritual form when he dies. In recent years, butterfly symbolism has been on the rise in the world of pop culture. Celebrities are often photographed with butterflies strategically placed somewhere on their person or lingering in the background of a set design or photo shoot. The presence of these winged creatures is believed by many to signify a mind control technique commonly known as Monarch Programming.

Through psychological manipulation and neuroscience (electroconvulsive therapy), monarch programming is believed to create an alter ego within a desired subject. The victim is often referred to as “the slave” while those responsible for the “therapy” are known as “the programmers and handlers.” It is perceived that once they are fully programmed, these monarch slaves are used by The Powers That Be to carry out rituals, performances, and deliver certain messages that are in-line with a desired outcome. In other words, victims are transformed into puppets on a string programmed with alter egos of whom they have no control. Alters are said to be anything from sex kittens to programmed assassins. While this theory may be true in some cases, the concept of monarch programming is a lot less complicated than it sounds. In short, the programmers/handlers are butterflies, but their monarch slaves are not victims of medical malpractice; they are victims of spiritual warfare.
Monarch programming is another term used to describe the mind control technique known as psychic driving. In fact, the two programs are one in the same. Developed by the CIA in the 1940s and 1950s under the program known as MK Ultra, psychic driving was a psychiatric procedure that involved electro-convulsive therapy and repetitive noises played on a loop to condition the patient and alter their behavior. The patient often suffered from amnesia as a result of the procedure. Much like the butterfly symbolism used in pop culture, psychic driving also makes an appearance in numerous songs, movies, album covers, music videos, etc. Depeche Mode’s, Behind the Wheel, Iggy Pop’s song, Passenger, The Beatles’ Drive My Car, The Doors’ Riders on the Storm, and REM’s song, Drive, are just a few examples. Cars, butterflies, driving and/or riding more often than not symbolize the same concept: supernatural mind control. Carrie Underwood’s song, Jesus, Take the Wheel, is the flip side to a very real and extremely deceptive mode of transportation used by the entertainment industry, one in which everyone is a victim.
In the Book of Ezekiel, we are given a detailed description of the appearance of cherubims. These angels are described as having the likeness of a man, but with four faces and four wings. The creatures are the color of amber and appear like a whirlwind out of the north with burning coals of fire where lightning went forth. They are also described as having wheels that go wherever their spirit goes:
“When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.” (Ezekiel 1:21 KJV)
The concept of monarch programming and psychic driving begins to make sense when viewed from a biblical perspective. The monarch butterfly is symbolic of the fallen cherubim with four wings burning bright the color of amber. These lesser gods are the psychic drivers with wheels encompassing the living creatures. In Ezekiel 28:14, it’s even revealed that Satan himself was the anointed cherub before his fall.
The above picture is known as The Butterfly Alphabet, a photographic artwork by the Norwegian naturalist Kjell Bloch Sandved. Over the course of 24 years, Sandved found all 26 letters of the Latin alphabet and the Arabic numerals on the patterned wings of butterflies. It’s a spectacular discovery that unveils the language of God through the beauty of nature, like the voice of the angels; it’s a reminder that we are more than just flesh and blood. Butterflies are no more evil than angels, but this is where the deception lies, for when God’s language is replaced by the fallen ones, our only saving grace is discernment to know the difference.
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” (Matthew 24:24 KJV)
When we hear celebrities admit to selling their souls to the devil for fame and fortune, this is the blood-written contract to which they are referring. However, victims of monarch programming lose their souls not by means of this supposed pact with the devil, but rather through trickery, manipulation and unimaginable deception. Like a plastic version of God, the unseen handlers (lesser gods and familiar spirits) masquerade themselves as Casper the Friendly Ghost while leading their victims into a dark forest without end. The spiritual deception at play in their lives is a cloak-and-dagger thief, a virus of the heart, mind and soul — a virus that could potentially sweep through the minds of the masses.
In the beginning scene of I Am Legend, Will Smith speeds down an empty street with his German shepherd riding shotgun. A poster is shown on the backside of an army tank with a butterfly covering a woman’s face. Printed across the bottom are the words, “God Still Loves Us.” To the right of the poster, we see the same woman with the left side of her face bloodied and bruised, and Michelangelo’s painting, The Creation of Adam, covering her eyes. Below those two pictures, “Adam” points a gun at “God’s” hand. Printed underneath are the words, “Do we still love God?”
The symbolism presented here implies that God is responsible for mankind’s suffering (as “God’s” hand corresponds with the woman’s beaten face), with the poster stating in a mocking fashion that, “God still loves us.” The bottom poster exemplifies this point by asking, “Do we still love God?” while “Adam” points a gun at “God’s” hand. In other words, “look what God just did to us, do we really want to worship Him?” This beginning scene sets the stage for the entire movie which represents the falling away mentioned in the Bible.
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the Temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 KJV)
Will Smith is the son of perdition in I Am Legend. His character, Robert Neville, (Neville being a French name meaning from the new village or new town) saves mankind by creating a cure for the virus with his own blood, which is in direct contrast to mankind being saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, hence, Neville, exalteth himself above all that is God. The son of perdition or the Man of Sin, shall dwell in the temple of God just as Neville’s blood dwells in the body of men.
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” (1 Corinthians 3:16-17 KJV)
The image of the woman’s face masked with a butterfly symbolizes mankind’s transformation, or rather, the fulfillment of monarch programming for the masses. The Man of Sin is a man controlled by devils, and so shall be mankind. The Spirit of God will be replaced with an unclean spirit which is the “virus” that will infect people through their sins of fornication, drunkenness, and anyone not sealed by the grace of God. This is essentially how the son of perdition shall dwell in the temple of God.
The alternative ending for I Am Legend depicts one of the “darkseekers” or the nocturnal mutants arriving at Neville’s laboratory in search of his female companion on whom Neville has been experimenting. The darkseeker makes a butterfly-shaped smear on the glass wall of the laboratory while Neville glances at the butterfly tattoo on the female’s neck. Putting his gun down, he apologizes to the darkseeker and promptly returns the female. The darkseeker signifies the unclean spirit (the programmer/handler) in search of his host. He represents the lesser god to which the female was bound.
The placement of the butterfly on the woman’s neck is also significant. In the Old Testament, the prophet Habakkuk describes God’s wrath and the future demise of Babylon by stating that God shall wound the head of the wicked by discovering the foundation unto the neck:
“Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.” (Habakkuk 3:13 KJV)
God destroyed Babylon in the Old Testament, but in the New Testament, Babylon rises once again. In Revelation 13:3 (the reverse of Habakkuk 3:13), John describes a beast with seven heads rising up out of the sea. One of his heads that had sustained a deadly wound is healed, and so we have the rebirth of Babylon whose foundation was destroyed at the neck (Habakkuk 3:13) but is once again restored (Revelation 13:3).
“And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” (Revelation 13:3 KJV)
The woman with the butterfly tattoo on her neck symbolizes the rebirth of Babylon and the creation of the new “Adam,” the beast’s “Adam” who shall arise after mankind’s falling away. The Bible spells it out for us, or rather, counts it out.
