The further you go, the more you struggle Doug

Your meager scriptural offerings and speculations simply do not convince

Why not learn the truth about the matter?

Your Bible has the answer with overwhelming support

Satan's beast in the little horn of Daniel's visions will not be one of Israel

Well, let's use Islam, just as an example. As mentioned earlier they say that Messiah did not die for our sins, that Judas died on the cross. They say He is not divine. They say He is not the Son of YHWH, aka God. Do you think the writers of the NT would think such statements could be considered blasphemous?

See Parousia's post, #35.

Is that the orthodox opinion that they have?

The human tool of Satan's beast is the little horn of Daniel's visions [Daniel 7:7-25; 8:9-25; 11:36-45: 12:7] .... Micah 5:5-6 the same

The beast is Abaddon [Revelation 9:11] who will fully possess the human little horn

Abaddon been on the earth before and the one who does Satan's bidding in the Middle East .... here are the regions of his 7 Middle Eastern kingdoms [past and future] [Revelation 17:8-18]

The 5 fallen: the "land" of Magog, the Assyrian, the neo-babylonian, the Persian, Seleucid

The next 2 still pending: the smaller [little] kingdom of the little horn of northwestern Mesopotamia [Iraq/Levant] .... then the expanded divided kingdom with 10 other horns including the entire Middle East

This little horn will be a Muslim Caliph ruling over the cult religion of Islam .... all contrived by Satan

Islam is Satan's offer of a monotheistic religion centered upon the false prophet Mohammed and his fictitious pagan "god" Allah .... Allah does not exist, but is a cover for Satan Revelation 13]

The white horse rider is the Lord .... not the little horn

The Lord's gospel salvation and His coming millennial kingdom will go forth conquering and to conquer even during the coming tribulation period [Matthew 24:14; Revelation 6:2; 14:1-7] and some who hear and believe will be saved [Revelation 6:9-11; 14:13]

He is the same seen here: [Revelation 6:12-17; 19:11-21]

The "white" trumps the "red"

What do you think of the people who say that Arab Christians and Jews use the name Allah for God?

My comments

Islam teaches that Jesus did not die for the sins of humanity

Only a few of Israel have become believers in Jesus Christ over the past 2000 years

The first of Israel to turn to the Lord during the coming tribulation [Revelation 7:1-8; 14:1-7]

Many will turn as the result of the witness of the 144000

1/3 of Israel will turn and survive the tribulation [the time of Jacob's trouble] [Jeremiah 30]

The balance will be killed in unbelief and lost for ever [Zechariah 13:8-9]

Allah is not the God of the Bible .... this is the Muslim "god" of Islam who does not even exist [Allah is the crescent moon "god" of the ancient Assyrians and Babylonians]

Allah is just a cover for Satan .... the Muslims are worshiping the devil and do not know this .... they have been deceived by the false prophet Mohammed

I am not struggling at all. I understand the prophecies and I try to help others. Many people like you simply don't have the disposition to be receptive to anything but what they themselves have come up with. It is just a fact of life.

When your posts, like the one to me, lacks meaningful content, Straightshot, that says something about you - not me. You need to work on improving how you interact with others.

Actually it's the False Prophet who will claim to be Jesus. This is identified in Revelation 13:18 where the number of his name is Chi, Xi, Stigma; which transliterated into English is Ch - x - s. The "x" is the sound of "z" as in xylophone. The similar sounding phonetic pronunciation is Jesus. The line over the top of Chi, Xi, Stigma means this stands for a word, a name and a number for a man. - http://sixsixsixthenumber.tripod.com/

This also fits perfectly with the Islamic understanding that the Mahdi will be followed by jesus.

Can you identify any individual in the northwestern territory of the Roman Empire whose name starts with Ch and ends in S?

You are going about it the wrong way, imo. I don't think you are going to find the person before the ten king kingdom is in place. Because the little horn emerges out of the ten leader kingdom - the course of action is to watch for the EU to reorganize itself - as it has done several times, since its original European Common Market days - into a ten leader form of central government.

The little horn person will be the leader over those ten. To confirm that he is the right person - he will be a Jew and have a strong look about him (Daniel 7:20, 8:23). We will have a name then - so it will be easier to figure out the 666 identifier.

What would force a reorganization of the EU, would be additional brexits and/or a financial crisis - which right now Deutsche bank is in big trouble. I am thinking the person could have a banking background.

This just one video on You Tube about Deutsche bank. I am thinking the person's name will be Solomon, who had the 666 talents of gold collected for him. But that is supposition that his name will be Solomon.

I agree that the number of the Antichrist's name will not be able to be determined until the midpoint of the Tribulation when the ten kings turns over their kingdom unto the Beast. However, I believe that the number of the name of the False Prophet has already been properly identified. He does claim Jewish heritage, also Roman, Greek and Arabian. I have been able to confirm his Roman, Greek and Arabian.

I have already found at least 50 identifiers that uniquely matches these two individuals. The father has already designed and built a city where God and Man become One by living in Harmony with Nature. I wrote a book called Correcting the Corrupt Counterfeit Counterparts that shows the reader what it would look like if these Biblical and Islamic prophecies were true.

Satan's beast is Abaddon/Apollyon, another fallen angle like Satan that rules over 7 Middle Eastern Kingdoms fr the devil within the scope of the visions of the prophets .... 5 have fallen and are historical [the "land of Magog", the Assyrian, neo-Babylonian, Persian, and the Northern Seleucid

His 6th smaller and the 7th larger expanded/divided kingdom are still pending

Abaddon will come out of the abyss to rule again in the human little horn of Daniel's visions and 10 other Middle Eastern kings will rule with him [there are 10 principle Islamic kingdoms in the Middle East today that are round about Israel] [Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia]

The little horn will rise up among the 10 horns and confederate them into his 7th kingdom

Satan's beast will fully possess the human little horn and become the 8th king ruling over his 7th and final kingdom [Daniel 7; 8; 11:36-45][Revelation 9:11; 11:7; 13:1-4; 17:8-18]

Satan's second beast called the false prophet is also another fallen angel like Abaddon

This one will have two horns, two human clerics who will lead Abaddon's cult religion .... the religion of Islam

These two clerics, one of the Sunni and the other of the Shiite will bring these two major divides of Islam together and lead the to worship Abaddon as a "god" [Revelation 13:11]

Satan is the instigator of this setting and will give his power and authority to Abaddon

Exactly what the prophetic scriptures tell .... the little horn will be a Muslim caliph .... not a western Euro-centric Pope lead politician

This one will attack and occupy Israel, Jerusalem, and the temple mount and he will fend off all other contenders from opposing nations ... who can make war with the beast? [Psalms 83; Jeremiah 30; Ezekiel 38; 39; Daniel 11:36-44; Micah 5:5-6; Matthew 24:15-16; Luke 21:20-36; Revelation 13:1-4]

The Lord will turn on this beast and his followers and destroy them at the battle of Armageddon [Ezekiel 39; Daniel 11:45; Joel 2:10; 3:9-21; Micah 5; Revelation 16:1-16; 19:11-21]

The prophetic scriptures are the only reliable source for understanding the above truth .... all other speculations and ideas of men are off the table

The Antichrist is not only one genetic race. The Antichrist has a mix of differing ethnicities. This is designated by the amalgamation of different beasts "like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion" (Revelation 13:2). And the verses which specifically states his ethnicity such as Daniel 8:9 "out of one of these came forth a little horn" which is Seleucus, who was a Syrian ruler of Greek descent. And Daniel 9:26 "the people of the Prince" which are the Romans and the Arabs.

To state that the Antichrist is only one ethnicity is to deny and defy the simple understanding of the Scriptures which state otherwise. Scripture is replete with sufficient evidence that the Antichrist has multiple ethnicities.

Leading Lineage: Greek (Daniel 8:9) [cf. Daniel 8:8–9, 21–22] [cf. Daniel 11]

Lesser Lineages Likely: Mixed: (Daniel 2:41–43; 7:2–8, 17; Revelation 13:1–2)
Roman: (Daniel 9:26)
Arabian: (Daniel 2:41–43; 9:26)
Assyrian: (Isaiah 10:5–34; 14:25; Micah 5:5–6) [cf. 2 Kings 17:6, 18; 18:9–11]
Jewish: (John 5:43; Ezekiel 21:25; Genesis 3:14–15; 49:16–17; Revelation 7:4–8).

Remember, it is a person that rises from the sea, which is used in prophetic Scripture of "peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues" Daniel 7:3, Luke 21:25; Revelation 17:1, 15).

All of this fits perfectly into the Islamic Antichrist from the Western Roman Empire. Why are Muslims expecting a Mahdi that has an Israelite body and will look like Bani Israel?

Bani = "lost" tribes of Israel or Samaritan
The Birth Place of the Anti-Christ Revealed
http://mrrondonmon.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-birthplace-of-anti-christ.html


Isaiah says the Anti-Christ is an Assyrian.The Anti-Christ is said to come to power via the fourth beast in the last days per Daniel Chapter Seven. The Anti-Christ is also said to arise out of the Grecian empire in the last days, so how do we reconcile these different understandings ?

This is established fairly easily, Daniel did say the understandings would be bound up until the end. The Anti-Christ in Daniel chapters seven and eight is shown, if read properly, to arise out of two kingdoms at once, but how can this be ?

Daniel chapter seven is fairly straightforward, we understand this to be about the four beast systems, the fourth beast is where the little horn (Anti-Christ) will arise out of, most everyone understands the fourth beast to have been Rome, but in the last days/end times this has to be the European Union.

Now Daniel chapter eight is explained in detail by Gabriel the angel, was the he goat (Alexander the Great) conquering Persia ( the Ram ) and Gabriel interpreted this dream for Daniel.

Daniel 8:19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

We should note, this is speaking of the end time, it is not speaking of Antiochus who came before Jesus was even born. The word Indignation means: ( Greek Word za'am meaning Gods Fury at Sin) so at the Last End of Indignation means right before Gods Judgment of Sin/Vials or Bowls of Gods Wrath (Revelation).

20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. 21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. ( The Four Generals that stood up in Alexanders stead were Ptolemy , Seleucus , Cassander and Lysimachus. )
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

This is clearly speaking about the end times/last days when the sins have come full/ bowls of Gods wrath, a fierce king shall arise out of one of the four kingdoms that stood up in Alexander the Greats Stead, speaking dark sentences (understanding Riddles and conundrums) and he comes to power.

24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: (Satan Possesses him) and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. 25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, (he claims to Be God) and by peace shall destroy many Through a Peace Treaty he deceives many) he shall also stand up against the Prince (Jesus) of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Jesus destroys the Anti-Christ his kings and their armies without hand ( with the Sword of the Spirit/Holy Spirit) by the countenance of his coming, Amen. This guy magnifies himself and says in the temple of God, I am God !!

Now, so many people say this is about Antiochus, so I always feel the need to prove that this is about the end times, when Gods wrath is come full. This is about the little horn/Anti-Christ. And he arises out of their kingdom in the last days, so in essence he arises out of one of the Four Generals kingdoms in the last days, but which one ? Well, since the Anti-Christ arises out of the fourth beast also, then this other Kingdom has to lie within the borders of the European Union. Only Cassander's kingdom of Greece is in the European Union !! The "Assyrian" arising from Greece would be very, very possible since Greece shares a border with Turkey, and many, many Turks live in Greece, so the Assyrian Anti-Christ is born in Greece, and comes to power in Greece, then in the European Union. But what does John say in Revelation about the Beast that arises out of the Sea ? By the way, he was on Patmos, a small Greek Island when he saw this vision.

Rev. 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
The Main body is described by John as like a leopard !!
Put it all together, the "Assyrian" Anti-Christ is born in Greece, of Turkish parents or grandparents , he comes to power in the European Union.
This is where the Anti-Christ is from.

The Anti-Christ is a future man. He will eventually be possessed by a Demon, either Satan or Apollyon. This is why there is a 8th King. He might actually die and get revived by a "Possession" from the 8th King.

Horns are representative of strength and power. Where in the context do you derive that these horns represent two men from Islam?

Within the context of Revelation 13:11-18, the horns represent financial and religious power.

So with this understanding, who then matches these criteria to be the person who will become the Antichrist?

I agree that the number of the Antichrist's name will not be able to be determined until the midpoint of the Tribulation when the ten kings turns over their kingdom unto the Beast. However, I believe that the number of the name of the False Prophet has already been properly identified. He does claim Jewish heritage, also Roman, Greek and Arabian. I have been able to confirm his Roman, Greek and Arabian.
The person's name though will be known when he rises up among the ten kings, which is at least 3 1/2 years (nominally) before he becomes the beast of Revelation 13. If his name turns out to be Solomon, then we can determined to an extent, that the 666 is tied to the talents of gold - the economic basis for Solomon's rule.

I think you are misunderstanding that the Assyrian connection is not to the birth of the end times person who becomes the Antichrist, then later the beast of Revelation 13 - but to the disembodied spirit currently in the bottomless pit in Revelation 17:8, the actual beast.

Revelation 17:8a is the ancient person. that was and is not


Revelation 17:8b is the end time person. that was, and is not, and yet is.

The end times person in 17:8b will be possessed by the the unclean spirit of the ancient person in 17:8a. King 7 is the end timess person, who was future of John's time; and when he comes it says that he must continue a short space. Continuing a short space is the 42 months that he will be possessed by the beast (the unclean spirit) that will ascend out of the bottomless pit. imo, that unclean spirit is Nimrod, who is the Assyrian.
___________________________________________________________

I don't see any validity to the second beast having a number of his name. The bible doesn't say the number of the beasts plural. But the number of the name of the first beast who will be worshiped, and the image of the first beast which will be worshiped.

Unless they are the "strong delusions" that God uses in 2 Thessalonians 2:11. I believe the Islamic prophecies are the strong delusions. They fully agree with the Antichrist from the Western Roman Empire.

How might that look?

In a harmonious typological similitude of Alexander the Great and Seleucus, could the Antichrist also be born and raised in the northwestern territory of the Empire from which he is from, i.e. the Roman Empire?

20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. 21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. ( The Four Generals that stood up in Alexanders stead were Ptolemy , Seleucus , Cassander and Lysimachus. )
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

This is clearly speaking about the end times/last days when the sins have come full/ bowls of Gods wrath, a fierce king shall arise out of one of the four kingdoms that stood up in Alexander the Greats Stead, speaking dark sentences (understanding Riddles and conundrums) and he comes to power.

"in the latter time of their kingdom". Your BIG mistake is not separating the ancient four kingdoms in verses 22 - with the end times kingdom of the transgressors in verse 23. The "their" (the ten kings) refers to the EU in final configuration.

There is no "one of" their kingdoms in verse 8:23 (counter to your explanation). It is not "one of" in the text, nor of their kingdoms (plural, the four kingdoms).

It is a singular kingdom - called "their" because the "their" refers to the transgressors of the end times, the ten kings, which the little horn as the leader stands up - prepares for war out of their kingdom. Which goes back to Daniel 8:9 of him waxing strong to the south and east, toward Israel. It is just saying that he heads into the middle east with a strong army - from the one of the four breakup kingdoms territories.

The person's name though will be known when he rises up among the ten kings, which is at least 3 1/2 years (nominally) before he becomes the beast of Revelation 13. If his name turns out to be Solomon, then we can determined to an extent, that the 666 is tied to the talents of gold - the economic basis for Solomon's rule.

I think you are misunderstanding that the Assyrian connection is not to the birth of the end times person who becomes the Antichrist, then later the beast of Revelation 13 - but to the disembodied spirit currently in the bottomless pit in Revelation 17:8, the actual beast.

Revelation 17:8a is the ancient person. that was and is not


Revelation 17:8b is the end time person. that was, and is not, and yet is.

The end times person in 17:8b will be possessed by the the unclean spirit of the ancient person in 17:8a. King 7 is the end timess person, who was future of John's time; and when he comes it says that he must continue a short space. Continuing a short space is the 42 months that he will be possessed by the beast (the unclean spirit) that will ascend out of the bottomless pit. imo, that unclean spirit is Nimrod, who is the Assyrian.

I don't see any validity to the second beast having a number of his name. The bible doesn't say the number of the beasts plural. But the number of the name of the first beast who will be worshiped, and the image of the first beast which will be worshiped.

That was an excellent identification. I'm very much agreed. I am definitely not confused about the birthplace. I do not believe that Assyria is the birthplace. I believe Scripture is clear on this: "Behold, an he goat came from the WEST" to the ram in the east. Daniel 8:4-6. This is the same as identified in Islamic prophecies: "The sun shall rise from the WEST and a star will appear in the east."

Whose Name Will Equal 666?

By consulting a collection of commentaries, we can come to a consensus concerning this critical question. “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.” (Proverbs 11:14). “Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.” (Proverbs 15:22)

“But which of the two beasts it is which God has numbered has been not a little contested. That it is the first beast which is numbered has been the prevailing opinion. On this side are Lord Napier, Whiston, Bishop Newton, Faber, and others. Among those that have supposed the second beast to be the one which is numbered are, Dr. Henry More, Pyle, Kershaw, Galloway, Bicheno, Dr. Hales, and Reader assert that both beasts have the same number... it is the second beast which is numbered is evident... It can therefore be no other than the two-horned beast.” (Adam Clarke)

“This mystical number, 666, intended, apparently, to designate, in some way or other, the name of the power described under the similitude of the two-horned beast.” (John and Jacob Abbott)

“The theories of what it means are almost unlimited. This writer is not at all certain of what it means, beyond the cautious conclusion given under the preceding verse. Its identification with the second beast is certain, and probably also with the first beast as represented in his ‘image.’” (James Burton Coffman)

“Not only in the above description of the two beasts, but in what follows as to the number of the beast, these two now coalescing in one, and have one and the same number.” (John Gill)

“It has been doubted by some writers to which of the two Beasts the name and number belonged... the phrase “The Beast” used distinctively of the first Beast... considering that the second Beast is subordinate... as Irenaeus calls it, to the first his Principal. Subordinately, indeed... the appellation might be regarded as attaching to the second Beast also: – but only so, and subordinately.” (Edward Bishop Elliott)

It appears that both beasts’ name will equal 666; however, it’s affirmative association with the False Prophet is absolutely assured. In Islam, Isa is subordinate to Muhammad and the Mahdi.



When can we calculate the number of the Antichrist?

“Moreover, another danger, by no means trifling, shall overtake those who falsely presume that they know the name of Antichrist... But, knowing the sure number declared by Scripture, that is, six hundred sixty and six, let them await, in the first place, the division of the kingdom into ten; then, in the next place, when these kings are reigning, and beginning to set their affairs in order, and advance their kingdom, [let them learn] to acknowledge that he who shall come claiming the kingdom for himself, and shall terrify those men of whom we have been speaking, having a name containing the aforesaid number, is truly the abomination of desolation... for if it were necessary that his name should be distinctly revealed in this present time, it would have been announced by him who beheld the apocalyptic vision... But he indicates the number of the name now, that when this man comes we may avoid him, being aware who he is: the name, however, is suppressed, because it is not worthy of being proclaimed by the Holy Spirit.” (Irenaeus of Lyons)

So it’s not even possible for the Bride of Christ to calculate the number of the name of the Antichrist, because his name will not equal 666 until the mid-point of the 70th week of Daniel when he becomes the king of Babylon.
Is it possible to calculate the number of the name of the False Prophet this side of glory?

In a harmonious typological similitude of Alexander the Great and Seleucus, could the Antichrist also be born and raised in the northwestern territory of the Empire from which he is from, i.e. the Roman Empire?
I am understanding your rationale. But I don't think so, because the person would have be from Great Britain (in your theory), which I don't see - because Great Britain on its own as a end times Roman Empire.

The EU right now is in the process of forming a EU army - separate from the armies of the nation states.
