Yes he is coming as an angel of light as he counterfeits the Light of the world.
Is coming, yes; nothing to do with Judas Iscariot who has already lived and died.
3 and a1/2 years into the 70th Week of Daniel prophecy
Ok, if that's what you believe.
I'm not getting into that because I don't understand, and don't know if I believe, it.
Scripture says Christ was a Man it not being mutually exclusive to be both man and anti-Christ..
No.
Jesus was man and God so that he could mediate between man and God, Hebrews 9:15. He is, and always was, God and became human so that he could pray for us as our great High Priest, Hebrews 2:17.
The anti Christ will be a man; ONLY a man, and someone who is totally opposed to Christ. Judas was chosen by Christ, followed him, listened to him, did miracles and cast out demons.
You are writing as if Judas and the anti-Christ are the same person; they are 2 different beings. Judas has lived and died, the anti-Christ is still to come - even you have said that.
You caught me there. I have already stated I erred because the head wound does not take place until after he returns.
Judas didn't have a head wound in any case.
The name Judas is the Greek form of Judah and means "let him be praised.",
Genesis 29:35.yes?
You said that his name should tell us that he is anti Christ. I just pointed out that, as we were talking about Judas, his name does not mean anything of the kind. Again, you are writing as though Judas and the anti-Christ are the same person - they are not.
Have you studied all the ways scripture says he counterfeits the Christ. Common sense tells us that if anti-Christ could almost fool them into believing how great a counterfeit would he have to be to pull that off. If we accept your understanding the great delusion that is being sent on the world if not anti-Christ counterfeiting the Christ what is it? Remember a delusion that “could almost fool the Elect.’
Re read that Scripture - "that could
almost fool the elect". In my Bible, Matthew 24:24 says " .. will perform signs to deceive even the elect -
if that were possible". Mark uses the same words.
Again, the anti-Christ is the anti-Christ. He will appear in end times, perform signs and wonders to lead people astray and appear to be like a god so that people worship him. Future - still to come.
Judas Iscariot was a man, a human being with parents and ancestors, who was chosen to be a disciple, betrayed Jesus, killed himself and is dead. Past - it happened.
When did Judas lead anyone to Christ? Nothing ever recorded to show that took place.
No, but he was sent out with the other 11, with authority over all demons, to preach the Kingdom of God and heal the sick. He is not recorded as leading someone to Christ, true; then again, we don't know if someone believed because they heard Judas preaching. And you can hardly call me out on something that Scripture does not say, when your posts are full of things that Scripture does not say.
I make a statement and you take it conclusions not offered.
I was ASKING if that's what you were saying. It wasn't clear to me; I asked a question.
Judas was chosen by Christ and Christ new exactly who he was and restified that out of the 12 He chose one of them is “the Devil.’
One of them is A devil.
Judas Iscariot was not the devil.
The devil was created as an angel of light, called Lucifer. He tried to overpower God and become greater than God; obviously he could not succeed and was thrown out of heaven, with many angels who had sided with him. The devil was around before the world was created; he was the serpent in the Garden of Eden and was behind all Job's sufferings, Job 1. The devil tempted Jesus in the wilderness, and then went away and left him for a while.
Judas Iscariot was a human being; not eternal, only 30-40 years, or so, old. He was chosen to be a disciple, followed Jesus for 3 years seeing, and doing, miracles. Then he betrayed Jesus and died. If Judas was the devil then we would have no evil in the world now, because Judas is dead.
The devil is not dead - yet, though Jesus defeated him on the cross.
Scripture does not say anywhere that the antiChrist was, or will be, called Judas
Well exactly - yet you seem to be saying that the anti-Christ was Judas Iscariot.
again in revelations it tells us of anti-Christ ‘was, is not now, and will be again. Do you have a concordance to look these words up? .
If you are NOT saying that the anti-Christ was Judas Iscariot, then I apologise for misunderstanding you.
But maybe you should be a little clearer in what you are saying, rather than resort to sarcasm because something that you wrote was not clear.
