Question : What is the antichrist?
Answer: In SIMPLE words he is the ultimate liar, the ultimate politician, the ultimate murderer, his power to deceive people is directly from the devil.
In fact when he is killed and rise’s again the BIBLE says he will be indwelt by satan
Did you notice that last statement, sound familiar , He and his power which is satan will copy the work of GOD and CHRIST many times.
All to fool the world.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 {NIV}
9The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
Daniel 8:24-25 {NIV}
24He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men and the holy people. 25He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.
Notice in the verse of Daniel he will destroy the mighty men.
The power hungry politicians of our time dream of a united world that will give them great fortune and power. They seem to be blind to the fact that the are only setting themselves up.
A more important thing to notice is that he will destroy the holy people.
He knows that anyone who is saved through JESUS to GOD will never do his bidding.
Plus the fact that his power satan takes great joy in destroying what is GOD’s.
So if you become saved after the rapture in the time of tribulation, you most likely will pay with your life. THIS IS A SMALL PRICE !!!
If you are reading this and the rapture has not happened yet, it is not to late to miss all of the suffering, Accept JESUS who is the CHRIST. And you will be spared.
The time of power of the antichrist is only 7 years, after that JESUS returns to wipe him and his followers out.
The BIBLE says an uncountable multitude will be saved at this time, REFUSING the beast {antichrist} and becoming SAVED.
Why ?? Because through GOD they know the truth. The antichrist is a fraud.
They will know it is better to be saved and put to death and live forever than to accept the great liar and live a terrible 7 years and then be punished forever for rejecting GOD.
Question: How will he get this power in the first place ?
Answer :Because GOD allows it, in order to force everyone who remains after the rapture
To make a choice, accept him through CHRIST and live forever, or follow satans liar and die.
Question : So how does the antichrist get his power on earth ?
Answer:
Revelation 17:12-13 {NIV}12"The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.
13They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.
Revelation 17:17 {NIV}
. 17For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled.
Here we go riddles about animal’s representing kingdoms such as eagle for U.S.A. and
Lion for England, Bear for Russia, so on and so forth.
Professors and Bible students have spent lifetimes studying these images.
I am not a professor so no complicated talk, no graphs no charts only SIMPLE words.
Look at the 1st above verse Revelation 17:12
Question : how can a king who has no kingdom give his power to the beast ? {antichrist }
Answer : A 21st century solution.
Something that was not even possible 10 years ago
THINK about this. The European union I believe is the 1st of these kingdoms
Each member country is still their own country but they are members of the whole.
A whole that now has it’s own president. a KING without a kingdom.
Because he represents the union as a whole and does not control any of the individual
Country’s or kingdoms.
That can NEVER happen here. We are already economic partners with Canada and Mexico in the NAFTA trade agreements.
How easily today if economic trouble persists could this be turned into a North American Union? The politicians will sell it as, we are still in control of our own country don’t
Worry this is only politics and money matters.
I think that the Bible is clear on this, we will have all over the world 10 kingdoms without a king, each country in charge of it’s own affairs with a representative sent on their behalf
To world summits and so forth………….UNTIL, you get the picture. Whatever crisis comes and the world agrees to make an agreement using their 10 kings without a kingdom ,and the first thing that they will do is to give their power to the antichrist.
The world will be handed to him…. Gladly, with much fanfare I’m sure.
The following verse we talked about before, but lets take a second look.
It sets up the time line of the antichrist time of power, 7 years.
In the middle of the seven he will enter the newly rebuilt Jewish Temple to God
And set himself up as god.
At the end of the 7 year plan he will be destroyed , and we know that it is JESUS who destroys him.
Daniel 9:27 {NIV}
. 27He will confirm a covenant with many for one `seven. In the middle of the `seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.
Ok lets talk politics …….Everyone just thought the same thing… NO !!!
Right ? That is our reaction to all of the corruption that we have already seen in this world. You have seen NOTHING yet, remember Daniel 8:25 he will cause deceit to Prosper.
Imagine the corruption that will happen at this time.
Daniel 8:25 {NIV}
. 25He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.
Also notice that Daniel 8:25 says when they feel secure he will destroy them.
When do you feel secure?
When you trust somebody….The world has always put it’s trust in the wrong place.
ONLY GOD and his son JESUS are trustworthy. Who do YOU trust with your soul ?
Who is the beast ? {antichrist}
Revelation 13:18 {NIV}
18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.
Question : Has there ever been a Bible prophecy more attempted to be understood than this one?
Answer :
We have had countless theory’s on this, How many different ways this number can be found or added up. I’ve heard that computer codes contain this number, that all products having bar codes can be added this way, we hear that the muslim symbol
For their promised one is shaped like the numbers 666.…….on and on endless.
We have had many false Christ’s
I think that GOD gave us this prophecy so that when the time comes for the mark of the beast ,the number of 666 will be linked to the antichrist and be undeniable and clear.
If this is the one, who you CAN match the number and he wants you to take his mark……..DO NOT he is the beast controlled by satan.
The only people who refuse to take the mark appear to be post Rapture Christians.
They will dutifully accept their fate in order to live forever with GOD through JESUS
Revelation 13:9-10
9He who has an ear, let him hear.
10If anyone is to go into captivity,
into captivity he will go.
If anyone is to be killed with the sword,
with the sword he will be killed.
This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints
Daniel 7:21 {NIV}
21As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and defeating them,
Revelation 13:7-8 {NIV}
. 7He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.
The saints are the followers of Christ, the property of GOD.
At the half way point of his 7 years he will do the unthinkable.
He will enter the new temple in Jerusalem and proclaim himself god & demand that the whole human race worship him.
2nd Thessalonians 2:4 {NIV}
. 4He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
The following text pretty much sums up the life and power of the antichrist for the first three and a half years of his seven total. { 42 months divided by 12 = 3.5 years}
Revelation 13:5-8 {NIV}
5The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months. 6He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.
After he enters the temple and demands to be called god, Daniel gives us the exact number of his remaining days.
Daniel 12:11-12 {NIV}
11"From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
At a point in this time area the antichrist will be assassinated, and he will be risen from the dead by satan
Revelation 13:3 {NIV}
. 3One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast.
After he is risen from the dead there is a change.
He is much more power full, he now has supernatural power, before he was a man who received his power from satan.
After his death satan himself indwells in him to destroy and to receive the worship that he has always wanted.
I feel sorry for anyone on the earth at this time, a dark world to be ruled by the devil for three and a half years.
JESUS can save you from all of this, accept him and he will spare you from this time.
The next verse refers to the antichrist who is killed ,then out of the abyss satan comes into his body even though he knows that JESUS CHRIST will destroy him.
Revelation 17:8 {NIV}
8The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come.
Did you notice that only non Christians will be surprised and marvel at this.
This is how the world will react:
Revelation 13 : 4 {NIV}
. 4Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?"
This is what the devil knows
2nd Thessalonians 2:8 {NIV}
. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
He knows that he is finished at the first word of JESUS CHRIST .
Things are put in place for the end.
A battlefield is created for the final show down.
I have heard that there is now a dam built on the Euphrates that it is strong enough to shut the river down to a trickle.
But thinking that during the tribulation judgments several great worldwide earthquakes will occur so I believe that the following will be an act of GOD.
Revelation 16:12 {NIV}
12The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.
The kings from the east are most commonly thought of as China, India and a few more.
All with great numbers in population.
The antichrist, the false profit and satan himself know that JESUS is coming.
The will deceive his followers saying that we must gather to battle the kings of the east but his true purpose is knowing that most of the humans left on earth are not followers of CHRIST and they will all turn on JESUS as he returns to earth.
Revelation 16:13-14
. 13Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.
The stage is set, the house lights are dimmed………
Revelation 16:16 {NIV}
16Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
I have always wondered what the sign of CHRIST will be in the sky?
A giant cross maybe ?
All of the nations of the earth will mourn because they know that they have worshiped the beast, and murdered the believers of JESUS.
It is poetic justice that the day, that will strike fear to the souls of the unholy.
Is the day that will be, the most GLORIOUS day the earth has ever seen.
Matthew 24:30 {NIV}
30"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.
They will all combine and oppose the true coming king JESUS who is the CHRIST.
Revelation 17:14 {NIV}
14They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers."
The destruction of the antichrist and false profit and non believers at Battle of Armageddon in GODS words.
Revelation 19 :11-21 {NIV}
11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great."
19Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army.
20But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
21The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
The defeat of satan and his imprisonment of 1000 years.
Why imprisonment ?
Because it serves GODS purpose in what we call CHRIST’S Millennial kingdom.
Revelation 20:1-3 {NIV}
1And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
Free preview, coming attraction, spoiler, teaser, or just plain skipping to the end of the story to make sure the bad guy gets it in the end.
Revelation 20:10 {NIV}
. 10And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Notice the word of GOD says that they will be tormented forever, not that they will die.
I think that they will wish that they could die.
If this does not serve as a warning, not to refuse the free paid for gift of salvation and redemption to GOD by accepting JESUS CHRIST I don’t know what is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you feel the call, save yourself ,no one can do it for you, no one can forgive you but him.
You can click on a section of this website called the sinners prayer.
If the Rapture has not happened yet.
It will save you from all the events of the tribulation,
If the Rapture has already happened.
It will save you when you leave this world.
It will save you from yourself, It will save you from death.
PLEASE if you are not a saved believer save YOURSELF through JESUS CHRIST.
How many people do you think have put this decision off and it was their last chance.
We all know there are no guarantees in this world, it could be any ones last day on earth.
DON”T WAIT ………..DO IT NOW !!………TOMORROW COULD BE TO LATE.
1st Peter 4:7 {NIV}
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.
Titus 2:11-14 {NIV}
11For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
The false prophet
Question: Who is the false prophet ?
Answer : He is the antichrist’s top supporter and promoter.
Do not take him lightly or underestimate him.
I know that sometimes we think less of a side kick.
The following BIBLE verses show that he will be given some of the same supernatural powers that the antichrist will have.
That power comes direct from satan.
He will be responsible for the mark of the beast in a global economy, which leads to a countless body count of Christians.
He will lead the world in worshiping the antichrist as g*d .
{ I can’t even type it}
Revelation 13:11-12 {NIV}
11Then
I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a
lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12He exercised all the authority of
the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants
worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
It appears that he will not be very imposing ,not until he speaks , then the power of the devil comes through his voice.
He
will have the support of the antichrist and after his resurrection the
false profit will lead the world in worshiping the beast {antichrist}
Revelation 13:13-15 {NIV}
.
13And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to
come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. 14Because of the
signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he
deceived the inhabitants of the earth. . He ordered them to set up an
image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so
that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to
be killed.
Notice that it says an image that receives the breath of life.
It is easy to think of people receiving the mark as weak hearted or just plain scared fools.
I think it would be hard for anyone to resist without the power of GOD through CHRIST.
The mark of the beast:
Revelation 13:16-17{NIV}
16He
also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave,
to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no
one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the
beast or the number of his name.
It is now possible with today’s technology for this to easily happen.
Micro chips, computers, world wide web, internet banking.
We hear all the time that soon we will be a totally cashless society.
I
would bet that before we go cashless we will go in the direction of a
regional or a global currency. Giving the world a common value system
for goods and services.
I bet satan can not wait to see his mark placed upon everyone on the earth.
Make
no mistake ,if you are alive at this time and you reject the free love
of Jesus Christ who paid for you by his death and resurrection ,and you
take the mark of the beast, the antichrist and through him , satan
will OWN YOU.
In SIMPLE words DO NOT TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST!!!!
If
you do, you are LOST. Jesus says all that try to save their lives
will lose it, and all who lose their lives for his sake will gain it.
{ live forever with him}
Mark 8:35-38 {NIV}
35For
whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life
for me and for the gospel will save it. 36What good is it for a man to
gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? 37Or what can a man give in
exchange for his soul? 38If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in
this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed
of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels.
If
you take the mark you will suffer GODS trials in the tribulation, if
you are UNFORTUNATE enough to survive that, and satan does not get you
killed with his many rules of peace, which will kill millions, or
through his wars. You will be KILLED at the end of the 7 year time
frame by the return of JESUS whose words will destroy the unholy and
unfaithful followers of the antichrist. Later you will be judged and
cast into torment FOREVER . All you have to do to avoid this fate is
accept JESUS as your SAVIOR.
Revelation 14:9-13 {NIV}
9A
third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships
the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the
hand, 10he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been
poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented
with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.
11And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no
rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for
anyone who receives the mark of his name." 12This calls for patient
endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's commandments and
remain faithful to Jesus.
13Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.
If you accept Jesus and refuse the mark you will be SAVED
Revelation 20:4 {NIV}
4I
saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to
judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of
their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not
worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their
foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a
thousand years.
I would like to share a small experience from my childhood with you.
It has to do with looking for answers in the wrong places.
I was in JR. High School and our English teacher had a guest in our classroom that day.
The guest to us, was an older gentleman, looking back he was really old about 30.
We were told that this mystery guest was going to observe us and make a mental reading of each one of us.
Yes, we were told that this man was a physic.
As
we went about our business you could sense a stir now and then ,as this
odd fellow,would quietly give everyone the once over with his EVIL eye.
As he did this he would pause and scribble something on these small slips of paper he had prepared in advance.
As we got near the end of our class our teacher made the announcement that the physic was going to take over.
He
stood up and began to walk up and down the rows of our desks, pausing
now and again to make sure that he put the right slip of paper on each
students desk, face-down so you could not see what was written. I
remember being curious as well as a little afraid of what it might say.
He
got that done and made a small announcement about how he got a reading
on all of us , and finally he said go ahead and read your paper.
Mine said something like this:
That I had a quiet strength and that I was underappreciated as well as not living up to my potential.
MAN I remember feeling THUNDERSTRUCK.
How could he know all that, WOW was he ever right.
Our English teacher asked us to raise our hands if any of us felt that Mr. Magic had gotten the info about us correct.
All of us shot our hands up right now. I’m thinking , this is unreal !!
The
physic said something to the effect I am going to prove my readings by
asking each of you to exchange your slip with the person in front of
you, and think about your classmate and decide if their note was a good
fit for them. I exchanged with the girl seated in front of me , and
for one split second I had a moment of confusion, did the girl give me
my own paper back by mistake?
I looked up at her and the expression on her face was how I felt. CONFUSION.
Our eyes locked and at the same time we realized that Mr. Magic had given EVERYONE the Same Exact reading !!
You could see it on everyone’s face we were had.
The teacher went on to explain about not being duped by pretenders who have all the answers.
Not bad for public school, He would most likely be fired for that today.
Mr. Magic told us one more thing HE WAS REALLY A PAID PHYSIC !!
And he admitted it is all garbage !!
He said he came up with this scam as a way to make a few dollars in college.
He also added that we each owed him 10 bucks.
It was a good powerful lesson that I have never forgotten.
Only GOD and his son JESUS have all the answers.
Side note: that is just about the only thing that I remember from that English class !!
If
you are reading this ,I bet by now you wish that I had paid more
attention to things in that class like sentence’s and punctuation, and
I have also worn out my spell checker.
A World Wide False Religion
Revelation 17:1 {NKJ}
1 Then
one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with
me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great
harlot who sits on many waters,
I liked the wording of the new King James on this verse .
Most
of the descriptions in the Bible of the false religion is a comparison
to a prostitute, who we all know does immoral acts for money.
Question: So what is the definition of harlot ?
Answer: When I went on-line to look it up most web sites simply said prostitute.
However,
the Webster’s Dictionary site said that the original definition of
harlot was lost to time and was assumed to be prostitute.
I have a King James prophecy study Bible in which it DOES have a definition of harlot.
{ Sorry Webster’s GOD has a longer memory than you.}
The definition of harlot in my study Bible is:
A harlot is an individual who has been unfaithful in her wedding vows.
We all know that Jesus on many times referred to his church as BRIDE.
I do believe that this false religious system will be set up very near or after the Rapture using ,
The very structure of what the true believing Christians leave behind or abandon.
I’m talking both physical property and spiritual. beliefs { other faiths will be added also}
I’m positive they will claim to only use the best of all faith’s.
Some
of the individuals will no doubt be spiritual harlots, people who
pretend to be of the true faith, but only prostitute themselves for
power and riches.
The Bible describes the tools of the end days which the antichrist will use to assume power.
The power given to him from the 10 kings without a kingdom we have already discussed.
The
false profit will set up the economic system with the mark of the beast
, Bible scholars refer to this as economic Babylon, which most feel
will be in headquartered in the area of the original ancient city of
Babylon in modern day Iraq.
The power to win the hearts and minds of the people through deception will come through a end times universal false religion.
The
Bible states that the antichrist himself will hate this religion,
because he wishes for himself to be set up as the object of worship.
He USE’S this system until he no longer needs it, and those of this one world peace religion
Are so blinded by their own desires they never see the betrayal of the antichrist coming.
Revelation 17:15-18 {NIV}
15Then
the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits,
are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. 16The beast and the ten
horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and
leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17For
God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing
to give the beast their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled.
18The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the
earth."
