I used to feel the same urgent Apocalyptic CERTAINTY some here feel

[Douggg]

The four points you think an Anti-Christ must have, do not necessarily apply to every candidate.
The only definitive qualification for an AC, is that they are 'against Christ'.

Bible prophecy clearly informs us that in the end times, a man will rise up and gain world control. He will sit in the Temple and declare himself to be God. THATS a real Anti-Christ.

Jesus was the King of Israel who came in the name of the Lord. But rejected as such by His own people.

The Antichrist, to be the Antichrist, must be anointed the King of Israel, but coming in his own name.

To be the Antichrist, that person will be against Jesus, the true Christ, and also in lieu of Jesus the rightful King of Israel.

That person will be in the role of the Antichrist for about three years. The event of 2Thessalonians2:4 will reveal that he is the man of sin - and not the perceived messiah, King of Israel, that the Jews will have thought for the 3 thereabout previous years.

The beast in Revelation 13 is the same person, but after his time as the Antichrist, wrongfully anointed King of Israel. The beast will be "dictator" of the EU. And the ten kings are of the EU.

little horn>prince who shall come>the Antichrist>the revealed man of sin>the beast

 

[Spiritual Jew]

Dr Greg Clarke is totally wrong on the Antichrist. The spirit of Antichrist is attitude the Antichrist person will display himself when he comes.

In 2Thessalonians2:4, the person will have been the Antichrist for around three years before revealing himself as the man of sin and not the thought-to-be messiah by the Jews as King of Israel messiah.

It is not Dr Greg Clarke who don't understand what being the Antichrist entails as that person - but all of the "Dr's" in Christianity that speak on the subject. Such as Dr. Ron Rhodes, Dr. Ed Hinson, and, Dr. Mark Hitchcock. No wonder Christianity is so misled about the issue of the Antichrist.

Why should anyone listen to you when you think the temple of God Paul spoke of is a physical temple? No future physical temple can be something that Paul would call the temple of God. You can't get around that.

 

[Timtofly]

As the 'beast'.
Revelation 13:1-18
The 'beast' IS an Anti-Christ: your contention is rebutted.

The image is the figure of antichrist. Satan is one beast, and the FP is the other. There is only one human in this scenario. At Armageddon the FP and the image are cast into the LOF. Satan is bound for 1000 years to be loosed again. There is not a 4th person known as an AC to be the head of the government.

The mark is not even introduced until after the image is given life and is used to be a weapon against humanity. The number itself deals with Adam and all his human offspring. The image is Satan's mockery of God creating Adam who disobeyed God. This image is a machine that cannot turn against Satan. This AC is Satan's creation, not something God created. Satan cannot even be original though and makes this machine in the image of the FP, a human.

There is symbolically only one human in Revelation 13. The sea is the symbolism of humanity. Coming out of the ground is literally what Satan does to come and go from the pit that was opened in the 5th Trumpet. The pit is opened, and no longer a hidden fact. If there is technology still, the pit would be viewed 24/7. All on earth will know what comes out of and goes into the pit. It will not be a mystery.

 

[Timtofly]

Since there are many who read the same Scriptures, believe them, and yet hold a different opinion, this should cause you to admit this is not fact, acknowledged by all, but only your opinion, shared by others. Belief in an eschatological Antichrist has been believed in since the Early Church. It appears to be taught in Dan 7, and is seemingly confirmed by Paul in 2 Thes 2, by John in 1 John, and again, in Revelation 13-19.

The label "Antichrist" is not a personal name, but rather, an attribution to an entity with certain understood activities to take place. He is called the Antichrist, the Man of Lawlessness, and the Beast, among others. In Dan 7 he is called the "Little Horn."

The reason John used the term "Antichrist" is because he was speaking of his particular concern Christians have in dealing with those who oppose Christ. It was predicted, by Daniel, that the Little Horn would persecute God's People, and would apparently wish to hinder the coming of God's Kingdom, and the "Son of Man."

In using the term "Antichrist" John was speaking of the "False Christs" and "False Prophets" that Jesus said would try to mislead Jews who were to expect troubles and persecution. These false prophets were attempting to promote a false kingdom of Man, through which they could sidetrack Christians or Jews that wished to follow Christ.

The ultimate "False Christ" will be the Antichrist himself, the "Little Horn," who takes his place among 10 Horns, forming a Last Day portrait of the 4th Beast of Dan 7. This Beast, which I believe to be the Roman Empire, will ultimately collapse back into paganism, since European Civilization has long become Christian. And then it will, once again, oppose Christianity in a bloodthirsty way.

The book of Revelation is, I believe, teaching that pagan Romanism will not go away--not even after the preaching of the Gospel. Rome turned to Christianity, but is now turning back to paganism. We need to always be forewarned, in every generation we happen to find ourselves, until Christ returns. It will not be a "cakewalk."

The little horn could also be a false prophet. There are many "antichrists". John remains firm in calling this "AC" a beast. John also names the FP several times.

 

[Timtofly]

Oh, really? "Of course", you say? After saying "the book of Revelation focuses on the final 3.5 years in history"? Hmmm.

Yeah, I disagree with almost all of that. Why would only Revelation 2 and 3 have anything to do with a time period before the last 3.5 years, but then the rest is all only about the last 3.5 years? I think it is completely ridiculous to believe that. Especially considering the fact that Christ's birth and ascension are mentioned in Revelation 12.

The entire book is about things that happened before it was written, while it was being written and then things happening from then on. For a vast majority of the book to only focus on the last 3.5 years before Christ's return just makes no sense whatsoever.

What percentage of the book is chapter 13-19?

If you claim parallel views, then you have to include 6-19 as the same 3.5 year event. What percentage of the book is 6-19?

Since the Seals are first and all have to be opened before the Trumpets. Since the 7th Trumpet is not first and going in reverse order, 6 Trumpets have to sound first. All those events happen before we get to the 1260 days and 42 months involved in the days of the sounding of the 7th Trumpet. There are even 7 Thunders between the 6th and 7th Trumpet. More events that have to take place before this last 3.5 years that ends at Armageddon. One should at least consider that if the FP is given 42 months, and Armageddon is when the FP is cast into the LOF, those 42 months are not spent in the LOF, but happen before the battle of Armageddon.

Those 42 months are not even mentioned until after the 7th Trumpet starts sounding. The 7th Trumpet is a week long (days) event. It is not a 7 year event. The 7th Trumpet is not even a 3.5 year event. The 7th Trumpet is interrupted.

 

[Spiritual Jew]

What percentage of the book is chapter 13-19?

I don't know, you tell me. I don't care and don't find that to be relevant, so you can figure that out for yourself.

If you claim parallel views, then you have to include 6-19 as the same 3.5 year event.

Revelation 12 refers to Christ's birth and ascension and I believe Satan was kicked out of heaven long ago, so don't tell me what I have to include within a literal 3.5 year time period.

Since the Seals are first and all have to be opened before the Trumpets.

How do you come to the conclusion that they have to all be opened before the trumpets? The wrath of the Lamb is already at hand after the sixth seal is opened. How can everything described related to the trumpets all occur before the wrath of the Lamb actually comes down? There is silence in heaven for half an hour when the seventh seal is opened. I believe that is because Christ and His angel and human armies will have left heaven at that point and He will take out His vengeance on His enemies at that point. Until you recognize the parallels in the book, you will never have the timing of the events described in the book correct.

 

[keras]

human armies will have left heaven

Explain this please. With scriptural proof.

 

[Timtofly]

Which is a completely separate and distinct entity from the Bible’s antichrist.

The conflation of these unique, distinct entities arises solely from later added, man-made tradition, and is found nowhere in the pages of scripture.

The Beast is no more the Antichrist than Mary Magdalene is Jesus’ Mother.

Satan is the "Father" of this alledged AC. Humans are sons of God.

Perhaps choosing the female gender was the wrong example?

The term "beast" in Revelation needs context. Several different beasts in Revelation, not just one certain Beast.

The beast/image is Satan's creation and thus Satan thinks himself God, for being able to create his own masterpiece. Yet Satan still uses the form of a human, and still not come up with an original image.

"And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live."

Does no one see that both the human was given new life, and the image was also given the ability of life?

"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."

This image could both speak and also force people to do what Satan wants. That is coerced threatening by this image putting fear into humanity.


The image may not fit any criteria of an AC, presented, but neither do the other two beast in this chapter. But this image is Satan's representation of both Adam and Christ, as he thinks he can do the same thing God did in creating man on the 6th day.

Satan has fed western scientific thought starting with the Greeks for 2500 years. That is what Paul was stating in 2 Thessalonians 2. Satan is this man of lawlessness turning humans away from the creation of Genesis 1. The end result is today's humanity searching for that "miracle of ai sentience". A machine in the image of humanity that is the end result of Satan's manipulation. This image is the final offering that Paul claims will be when the church and the Holy Spirit are removed at the Second Coming.

 

[Timtofly]

How can everything described related to the trumpets all occur before the wrath of the Lamb actually comes down? There is silence in heaven for half an hour when the seventh seal is opened.

Until you recognize the parallels in the book, you will never have the timing of the events described in the book correct.

You are forgetting this word from John the Baptist:

"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

Jesus fulfilled the Messiah part. The Second Coming will fulfill the purging fire part.

Jesus Christ comes at the 6th Seal, the Second Coming to baptize the whole earth in fire. Not remotely. Jesus was on earth in the physical Jordan being baptized. The Second Coming is no different. Christ as Prince will be on the earth baptizing it by fire, physically. The 6 Trumpets and 7 Thunders is this time on earth. And Jesus brings all the angels to earth as well.

It will not take much to dissolve this faux universe Satan has manipulated humanity into believing exists. Besides the fact that all spiritual blindness will be gone as well. Even a pit will be opened up in the earth and humans will see what lies under the earth. Some may think this is all just symbolic writing done by John. The reality of what is about to happen will not be as sanitized with a PG rating.

Because there are many other prophecies that require a physical temple. Paul did refer to Christians as not a stone built temple structure, but in metaphorical sense of the body of Christians, agreed.

However, Paul did refer to a temple - not the body of Christians - in 2Thessalonians2:4, the revealing of the man of sin, who will claim to have achieved God-hood.

 

[Spiritual Jew]

Explain this please. With scriptural proof.

I wasn't speaking of human armies in the sense that you normally think of human armies, in case you were wondering about that. Christians are all soldiers of Christ in a spiritual sense, so I'm referring to His people. I'm speaking of the souls of the dead in Christ coming with Him when He returns.

1 Thess 4:14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

After this verse it goes on to talk about His return at which point the resurrection of the dead in Christ occurs and those who are alive and remain being caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air.

Then there is Revelation 19.

Revelation 19:5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all you his servants,
you who fear him, both great and small!” 6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.”
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)

The bride of Christ, which is the church (God's people) is seen in heaven and it says "his bride has made herself ready". Then it says "Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear", which symbolically "stands for the righteous acts of God's holy people".

Then a little later there's this:

Revelation 19:11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.

This portrays the time when Jesus will descend from heaven at His return and notice verse 14 where it says "The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean". The armies of heaven are "dressed in fine linen, white and clean" just like the bride of Christ described earlier. So, this has to be talking about them coming with Him. And it probably is referring to the angels as well.

 

[Spiritual Jew]

You are forgetting this word from John the Baptist:

"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

Jesus fulfilled the Messiah part. The Second Coming will fulfill the purging fire part.

Jesus Christ comes at the 6th Seal, the Second Coming to baptize the whole earth in fire. Not remotely. Jesus was on earth in the physical Jordan being baptized. The Second Coming is no different. Christ as Prince will be on the earth baptizing it by fire, physically. The 6 Trumpets and 7 Thunders is this time on earth. And Jesus brings all the angels to earth as well.

Even a pit will be opened up in the earth and humans will see what lies under the earth. Some may think this is all just symbolic writing done by John. The reality of what is about to happen will not be as sanitized with a PG rating.

This is pure nonsense. Scripture does not teach that Jesus will be on the earth baptizing it by fire physically. That is not at all what John the Baptist was saying. You are butchering that passage beyond recognition. Scripture says that we will meet Jesus "in the air" (1 Thess 4:14-17), not on the earth.

 

[Spiritual Jew]

However, Paul did refer to a temple - not the body of Christians - in 2Thessalonians2:4, the revealing of the man of sin, who will claim to have achieved God-hood.

He called it "the temple of God". No future physical temple could possibly be something that Paul would call "the temple of God". The temple of God would have to be a temple that even God Himself would call His temple. Some useless temple built by unbelieving Jews isn't qualified to be called the temple of God. You can't get around this. You will try, but it can't be done.

The ONLY souls which Jesus will bring with His at His Return, will be those martyrs killed during the 42 month time of the 'beasts' domination. Revelation 20:4
The rest of the dead await the GWT; AFTER the Millennium. Revelation 20:5

Your interpretations of those scriptures contradict a great deal of other scriptures, but you apparently don't care about that. So be it. I hope you enjoy your private interpretation of the scriptures for yourself since it's likely that no one in the world agrees with you. It's sad that you can't experience the enjoyment of agreeing with other people on scripture. You're on your own island with your own unique beliefs.

Nothing of what I believe will happen in our future, is contradictory to any scripture.
Making such a accusation requires proof of where I have violated scripture, not just your beliefs.

You have no idea of who agrees with me. Neither have I, for that matter, but there are some. Anyway;

The following verses are about what happens when the Lord Returns on the Last Day - and none of it can be separated out without completely ignoring these verses.
* he will return like a thief, that is, predicting it is futile
* he will return with his angels and he himself is like a 'blazing fire'
* life will be PRETTY NORMAL with everyone marrying and giving in marriage
* judgement will come suddenly - and it is not just death but eternal judgement in mind - this event ushers in eternity, the New Heavens and New Earth

Jesus expressly states that he will raise believers up on the “last day” (Jn 6:39, 40, 44, 54; 11:24) and that he will Judge on the Last Day.
“There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day” (John 12:48)

MATTHEW 13
"The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. 40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear."

MATTHEW 24:35-44
“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.... “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

2 Thessalonians 1
5 All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. 6 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. 8 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might 10 on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.

1 Thessalonians 4
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

2 Peter 3:10-13
"But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. 11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells"

Also please note: the return of Christ will occur “in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed” (1 Co. 15:52; cf. 1 Thess 4:16). Notice that there are no gaps of time indicated between the resurrection and the judgement. These texts collectively speak of the resurrection, the judgment, and the return of Christ as distinct aspects of but one event, occurring at precisely the same time (cf. Mt 25:31-46). Premillennialists, who often chide amillennialists for not taking the Bible “literally” and who champion what they call the “literal” interpretation of Scripture, must now insert a thousand-year gap between the Second Coming of Christ (and the resurrection) and the Final Judgment to make room for the supposed future millennial reign of Christ! And this, ironically, when the clear declarations of Scripture do not allow for such gaps.

Well, those are not verses, but information you are taking from verses, but not in the context of the verses.

Jesus's return relative to other end times events is known. What calendar date or specific year is not known. But the generation to not pass away is known - and we are living in it.

Life will be pretty much normal at the time of two major events: (1) the rapture/resurrection (2) the Antichrist going into the temple, sitting, claiming to have achieved God-hood, triggering the beginning of the Day of the Lord.

Destruction of this current heaven and earth is not until after Jesus returns and His thousand year reign on this present earth from Jerusalem, commencing at the point of His return, are over.

Premillennialists, who often chide amillennialists for not taking the Bible “literally” and who champion what they call the “literal” interpretation of Scripture, must now insert a thousand-year gap between the Second Coming of Christ (and the resurrection) and the Final Judgment to make room for the supposed future millennial reign of Christ! And this, ironically, when the clear declarations of Scripture do not allow for such gaps.

Can you now prove that Jesus was born, baptized, died on the Cross, was buried and rose again all on the same day?

That is what you did with the Second Coming compacting it down to one point in time.
