Antichrist is universally used for the person, those different stages of his career, is used mostly out of error. The person is the Antichrist for only the time that the person is in the position as the King of Israel (illegitimate)
As you know, I disagree with you here, imho, the Anti-Christ is never going to be accepted by Israel as their King/Messiah, and no scriptures anywhere suggest this. If so cite them please.
Well, The bible says he is from the people who destroyed the temple and city of Jerusalem. Romans. And if a person were to look at
Isaiah 14, it is not until
after he is cast out of the grave, i.e. brought back to life that he is referred to as the Assyrian.
Isaiah 14:19-20.
Isaiah 14:25 is the reference to the Assyrian. The Assyrian and King of Babylon is referring, imo, to the beast, an unclean spirit currently in the bottomless pit - Nimrod - which will be allowed to come out and possess the person.
Which means he will arise out of the Fourth Beast or be Euro Centric. In Daniel 7:7 they speak about the dreadful beast with iron teeth then these 2 verses stand out..........Daniel 7:8 I considered the
horns, and, behold, there came up among them
another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were
eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 I beheld till the
thrones were cast down, and the
Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was
white as snow, and the hair of his head like the
pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
So we understand that these 10 Horns and one Little Horn arise OUT OF THE FOURTH BEASTS [HEAD], which was Rome, BUT....We also see that the 10 Horns and the Little Horn that arise out of the Fourth Beast Arise at the END TIME, because when he is defeated, he is cast into hell alive (verse 11) and the Ancient of Days (Jesus/God) will sit on the throne or be the Ruler of mankind. We see Jesus with White/Wool hair in many places and his garments are White as Snow. So the Anti-Christ and his 10 Kings Arise from the Fourth Beast (Roman Empire) and its not even debatable. Remember, we had Roman Emperors who were not born in Rome and many who were born in Gaul, two was a Carthage and Celtic mix, two were born in Syria, two were Gaulish and Greek and many more were from other places other than Rome.
Carus - probably Gaulish and Greek (born at Narbo)
Carinus and Numerian - probably Gaulish and Greek
Antoninus Pius - Gaulish (born in Latium)
Marcus Aurelius - Gaulish and Spanish
Commodus - Gaulish and Spanish (born in Rome)
Septimius Severus - Carthaginian and Celtic
Caracalla - Carthaginian, Celtic, and Syrian
Elagabalus - Syrian
Severus Alexander - Syrian
So being born in Greece has nothing to do with whether a person is a "Citizen of Rome" it all about who their loyalties abide with. Like I said, he will be born in Greece (Daniel chapter 8) and he will be the Ruler over the Revived Roman Empire. The ole line "he is from the people that destroyed the Temple" is irrelevant. That only means he is from the Fourth Beast. And the Little Horn arises out of the Old Vestiges of the Fourth Beast.
No man is brought back to life, sorry but that sounds outlandish. The BEAST is a BEAST because he conquers Israel, he is a LONE BEAST at the End Times because all the other Countries/BEASTS were Empires ran by successive Kings, this Little Horn King will be a ONE MAN SHOW. The Assyrian means he will be of Turkish descent. But Daniel 8 shows him to be Born in Greece.
Egypt and Assyria were referred to as beasts? Where? Where in bible prophecy is either referred to as beasts?
You must never actually read my posts, LOL, because I have posted about this dozens of times. We have a SEVEN HEADED BEAST in Rev. 13 and 17. What is a Beast ? A Nation that has conquered, enslaved or ruled Israel, SEE, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome in Daniel 7. Now we have a Seven Headed Beast in Rev. 13 that mentions the Leopard (Greece) the Bear (Persia) and the Lion (Babylon) as being a part of this Seven Headed Beast. So we know who these 7 Heads represent, they are Empires that Conquered or Enslaved Israel throughout History. Daniel told of four of these Beasts and a FIFTH that would arise out of the Fourth in the End Times, so 5 of the Heads are known. We have to use History and common sense to find the other two. Common sense tells us if the happened after Daniel they would have be prophesied about. So the other two had to have happened before Babylon was a Kingdom. THIS IS NOT VERY HARD.......Egypt, and Assyria were the other two BEASTS/Empires that Conquered Israel.......... NOW SKIP FORWARD to Rev. 17. the Angel is explaining the 7 Kings, Five have Fallen, ONE IS, and one is YET TO COME.
Five have Fallen (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia and Greece) ONE IS (Rome was a BEAST/POWER when John wrote Revelation, over Israel) and one is YET TO COME (Anti-Christ and his 10 Kings/Nations).
Its common sense, Israel has been conquered in history SIX TIMES, and will be conquered again which will make SEVEN TIMES, and we have a Sven Headed Beast !!
