The AntiChrist

[Rookie]

This may be a repeat considering the 1.2k threads but what are you're thoughts on the ominous dictator? Is he an actual man who will come for a literal 7 years with the latter 3 1/2 terrorizing us? Or is the antiChrist simply a symbol for something else?

Literal man.

Those who over-spiritualize things that should not be over-spiritualized obliterate an accurate understanding of Biblical prophecy, both Old and New Testament.

I'm not sure who your calling an antichrist.
John said there were many antichrists a couple thousand years ago.

There's probably quite a few million today.Do you have a particular one in mind?

The one mentioned in Revelation 13, 2 Thessalonians 2, Daniel chpts 10-12...

I don't believe revelation 13:2 is speaking of the same king as these 2 and Daniel 11.

I believe the beast out of the sea in revelation 13:2 is to be the Israeli government.
I believe the king of the north in Daniel 11 is the same man of sin in these 2.
I believe this king of the north gives the Israeli government an army much like NATO has in other countries and during that time the saints in Israel is persecuted and the rest of the people in Israel recieve mark in their right hand used for buying and selling.

Israel's prime minister is presently attempting to strip the supreme court of much of it's power so that he can change laws more easily.

Daniel 7:25
He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.

The next 5 years should be very interesting to say the least.

Probably so

Well, most won’t like this but John who is the only one who mentioned the Antichrist said that there are many Antichrists, for one. Bad news….many. But the man of sin who ruled the then known world was Nero. Even his own people called him “the beast.” He terribly persecuted the christians for 3.5 years defeating them. Many described elements in Revelation fit.

Hi sir, that term is found in the Bible 5 times and those verses help us to identify them. They are the false ones Jesus even warned us about, and basically they have done a very good job. By drawing disciples after themselves: Ac 20:30 and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.They have turned one faith into over 30,000 sects that claim to be Christian.

There is not going to be an antichrist come on the scene, they have been here since the start of the apostasy in the first century.

The Bible never defines just one antichrist, but says even now there are many and in the end of days will be the last time, 1 John 2:18. We have to remember that Satan is a created spirit and needs to work through others in order to build his literal kingdom here on earth as the war in heaven between Michael and Satan has not happened yet, Rev 12:7-12. This will be a Luciferian system of political, economic, military, environmental, educational and false religious power that founded in 1534 with its headquarters in Rome that will sit upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north which is Jerusalem on the same Temple mount of God where the Dome of the Rock is being refurbished for the son of perdition to take its seat. This power of the beast out of the sea gives power to the beast out of the earth who will control the government of every nation and even now works its iniquity in the world, Rev 13.

The beast that will rise up out of the sea, as the sea here is symbolic of people and nations as in a sea of humanity, Daniel Chapter 7:1-8; Revelation 17:15, gives power to the beast that comes up out of the earth who is the last antichrist/ false prophet/son of perdition. His works is the abomination that causes desolation that Jesus forewarned us of in Matthew 24:15 and Daniel who explained this last of the seven remaining nations that still exist today and has always persecuted God's people from the time of Babylon up to present day unto the end of days, Daniel Chapter 7:1-8; Matthew 24:15; Revelation 13; Revelation 17:15. This will be the time of the greatest falling away from truth as this last antichrist, through lying signs and wonders will promise peace and safety and then sudden destruction comes upon them who bow down and takes the mark of this beast, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6.

Jesus said those who will endure in the faith of Christ unto the end the same shall be saved, Matthew 24:13. Satan said, I will ascend into heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of God (other ruling powers) I will sit also upon the Mount of the Congregation in the sides of the north (Jerusalem). I will ascend above the clouds, I will be like the Most High, Isaiah 14:12-15. The last antichrist, (as there have been many and even now are in the world), is the son of perdition being the false prophet that Satan works through as he will sit on the sides of the North declaring himself as being God and will cause many to bow down to him and take his mark as many will believe the lying signs and wonders he will show, Rev 13. Again, nowhere in scripture does it capitalize antichrist, but mans misinterpretations capitalize it and makes it one Antichrist that we are to watch for before Christ returns.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 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; 4 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, showing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The anti christ is and can only be satan himself.

I John 2:18 "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

John is saying that the reason that he is writing these things in this letter, is that you are to know these things already. John is addressing those in Christ gently, those in "the last hour", and we are living in the time of the last hour. In the Strong's Greek dictionary, # 5610, times is "Hora", "an hour, and instant, an season." These is only one last hour talked about in the Scriptures. It is that final hour before Christ returns.

As ye have heard, as Jesus told us of that last hour in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, as well as the many places in the Old Testament by many of the prophets of God, that the Antichrist will come. John is telling us that even before the Antichrist comes, there will be many other antichrists that will come.

Remember Jesus taught about these "antichrists in Matthew 24, and Mark 13, and we will go there shortly. What Joh is about to tell us was taught to him for Christ Himself. Remember that the entire chapter of Matthew 24, and Mark 13 was Jesus responding to the disciples question; What will it be like in the last hour before His return?

Jesus answered that in those events that consummate the end of this earth age, these seven things will happen. There are seven things also named in Revelation, and that is why He gave seven. They are the seven seals, the seven trumpets, the seven vials, and so on, there are seven things, and they are given in order in the seven trumpets of Revelation. The warning to us is that the Antichrist is coming first, before the return of Jesus at the sounding of the seventh trumpet. Many people don't realize this, because it isn't taught in their church houses.

Jesus warns us in Matthew 24:23; "Then if any man shall say unto you, `Lo, here is Christ,' or `there;' believe it not." If you always thought thought that if someone said that Christ is here, go to Him, if you do, you could be in trouble.

Matthew 24:24 "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." This is not a man with a beanie, that has risen in the ranks of an organization, trying to act like he is Christ, but he will be performing miracles, and supernatural wonders. The Antichrist will be an angelic being, that looks like the church world thinks Christ ought to look, and saying the things they expect Christ ought to say, and doing supernatural things, and they will believe that the Antichrist is Christ for they were taught to believe so in their church houses.

Friend, it is just possible that the elect will not be fooled by this fake Christ, for they know that they will not see our Lord and Savior in this flesh body, and the time of the Antichrist must come first. There is no way that when you know that the Antichrist, the "son of perdition" must rule from Jerusalem, and show mighty works, that you would be fooled into believing that fake to be Christ, and bow to him. Don't let the word "Antichrist scare you, it is written throughout the entire word of God that this fake would come first.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He 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.

This man Paul is referring to is the king of the north in the book of Daniel.

Daniel 11:36
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

He's obviously a malignant narcissist.
He reminds me of Donald Trump .
Full of self worship and self praise.

PS
Following the story in Daniel 11 ,the king of the north gives Israel an army.Ive compared Daniel 11 and revelation 13 and found that the armed forces of the king of the north corresponds to the second beast in revelation 13.
The beast that makes fire come down from heaven in the sight of man and it gives those upon the earth a mark in their right hand or forehead.

But Donald Trump doesn't promote himself at the expense of Christ, more like Biden does.

But this is a prophetic parrelel to the future man who will rule the world.

This happens after the war in Heaven, when he(satan) gets kicked out of Heaven.

I don't remember Biden describing himself as a stable genius. That it something a narcissist does..That is what the king of the north is.

He promotes himself at the expense of everyone.Calling other people names and such.
A narcissist is also pretty good at hiding their true identity since they do it their whole lives.They fool people.

If you want to know more about this king,perhaps you should figure out all of Daniel 11.He has several successors in the chapter who invade the middle east before he does.

And just a bit of advise,don't believe the Pharisees ok interpretation of these events or you will never understand.

Labelling people who don't hold you're point of view is quite Pharisaical yourself my friend.

Not quite a stable genius but he claims that he could've handled the pandemic much more effective than Trump regarding slowing the spread, funny that same party when Trump was slowing the spread called his racist. Don't believe everything Don Lemon and CNN say as 95.45% of the claims about the negativity relating to Trump aren't fact based. i bet everyone thought he was going to fall into line, then when they saw he didn't be the puppet president they wanted him to be they tried to blow his credibility ever since then just to get him out, when in my lifetime I notice nothing better from the presidents Obama and Biden (in fact things got worse down here) but Trump actually helped my family out down here at the citizens level.

And plenty of people call names in politics, Alexandra Cortez calls anyone who doesn't agree with her a bigot. Labels any anti-left policy or action as discrimination. And calls the Christian superbowl ad as "millions of dollars spent to promote facism". Does she get hate? No, because she's following the program.
