I think the concept of the "Illuminati" is an oversimplification and a linguistic reaper like so many other CONspiracies. The Illuminati conjures up imagery of a group of rich people plotting in secret and it's very cartoonish. I've seen "the alien" and it's far more sophisticated.
I know for a fact it was the "Berenstein Bears", not "Berenstain Bears". The purpose of this "Mandela Effect" seems to be showing how time is meaningless. It makes a mockery of it. It's as if something is opening a database and editing reality. The idea of our world being a simulation isn't new, but I think it's possible for many reasons. Are you familiar with the double slit experiment?
The "end times" are a Biblical concept, which makes it nothing more than a leech.
"The End Times" in Heximal Gematria = (T)120+(h)48+(e)30 + (E)30+(n)84+(d)24 + (T)120+(i)54+(m)78+(e)30+(s)114 = 732
732 + 237 = 969
"End Times" in Heximal Gematria = (E)30+(n)84+(d)24 + (T)120+(i)54+(m)78+(e)30+(s)114 = 534
534 + 435 = 969
