Hi all,
I know I have had some rather odd messages recently, stating that the end of the world is upon us. I now am not so certain of this, and have good reason to doubt it. How I came to such a wild conclusion in the first place was by watching a ton of videos by people who claimed to have received visions from God stating the end was here. Because there were so many well-meaning people getting the same or similar visions, it made me feel there may have been truth to it. However I went to the bible to do some research into what it actually says about end times, and it does not match with what people were saying on these videos. As an example many people were stating God told them Barack Obama was the anti-Christ. Because I saw so many of these videos I started to believe it. However I recently started to do some research into what the bible actually says about the anti- Christ, and I found out that it was impossible for him to be the anti-Christ. The bible says of the anti-Christ, that he will be the 11th ruler of a kingdom that reigns over all the earth.
Daniel 7:24-25 out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings. And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
Why this speculation about Barack Obama can not be true is is the 44th president of the United States. Not the 11th ruler of a kingdom that rules the whole earth.
From this experience, I say, be careful even though there may be a lot of stuff out there from well-meaning people stating they had a vision from God, it could all be rubbish. We need to be 100% certain of things before we share them, don’t take someone else’s word for it. Double check everything, pray it through, wait don’t rush. Waiting upon the LORD does not mean you don’t trust Him, He will not rush you, it is better to be sure than to have to apologise for mistakes.
