Episode 259: The Terrible Ones – Satanic Elites and the Oppression of the Meek
The phrase “terrible ones” appears only three times in the Bible, yet it reveals a deep mystery concerning the enemies of God’s people. In this episode, Scott Mitchell and John Potts examine the identity and purpose of these terrible ones—those who seek to dominate and destroy the meek of the earth. From the false prophets of Israel to modern times, Scripture exposes these ruthless powers as agents of Satanic control who oppress the poor, corrupt the nations, and persecute the saints.
Through passages in Isaiah, Psalms, and Ezekiel, we uncover how the same spirit that once ruled over ancient oppressors now operates through the hidden global elites shaping the world’s systems today. The Way of Cain is alive and well in the terrible ones!
Bible Mysteries is an educational ministry podcast exposing the ancient spiritual battle in the modern world. We seek to reveal the secrets in the Scriptures that current satanic world systems are trying to suppress. Join us each week as we discuss things in the Bible the world doesn’t want you to know.

Key Scriptures
“Moreover the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off.” — Isaiah 29:20
“I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.” — Isaiah 49:25
-“The wicked have drawn out the sword… their sword shall enter into their own heart.” — Psalm 37:14–15
Takeaway
The terrible ones are not mere historical figures—they embody the satanic systems of power that have ruled this world since the fall. Yet their dominion will soon end. Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, will return to break their power and establish righteousness upon the earth. Until that day, the saints are called to stand fast, discerning the times and holding to the truth of God’s Word.
