Amaruca - Land of the Great Plumed Serpent
Is "Amaruca" a reference to "America", as in North
and South America; and is "the Great Plumed Serpent"
a reference to Quetzalcoatl, the sky god of the
Aztecs, who lived in Mexico?
If so, "America", as in North and South America,
doesn't mean "Land of the Great Plumed Serpent", but
was named by a German cartographer after the explorer
Americus Vespucius (Amerigo Vespucci), who first
described North and South America as being separate
from Asia.
Regarding Quetzalcoatl, he has remarkable similarities
to Satan, for both are serpents (Revelation 12:9), and
both are associated with the sky (Ephesians 2:2) and
with the planet Venus, the morning star (Isaiah
14:12).
If "Amaruca - Land of the Great Plumed Serpent" is
intended to mean "America - Land of Satan", know that
the whole world is the land of Satan, for he is the
"god of this world" (2 Corinthians 4:4); "the whole
world lieth in wickedness" (1 John 5:19), not just
America.
Since the time of Adam, God has temporarily given the
whole world into the hands of Satan (Luke 4:5-6), who
will temporarily give the whole world into the hands
of the Antichrist (Revelation 13:7b,5b), who will
bring the whole world into the worship of Satan
(Revelation 13:4), although probably not under that
name, but under the name of Lucifer, whom the
Antichrist could present as the good God instead of
the fallen angel (Isaiah 14:12, Luke 10:18).
The Antichrist could even present Lucifer as Christ,
for Lucifer is the morning star (Isaiah 14:12) and
Christ is the morning star (Revelation 22:16). Of
course, the truth is that Lucifer fell from his office
of morning star (Isaiah 14:12) and became Satan
(Luke 10:18). Jesus has taken over the office of
morning star (Revelation 22:16).
But the Antichrist will deny that Jesus is the Christ
(1 John 2:22). He could say that the divine Spirit of
Christ only temporarily indwelt the man Jesus, like
wine only temporarily filling a glass, so that Christ
himself never became flesh (1 John 4:3; 2 John 1:7).
Of course, this is totally false for Jesus himself is
the Christ (Mark 14:61b-62); he is God himself made
flesh (John 1:1,14).
