Hi Marilyn,
Here is what I base my narrative on....
2Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
____________________________________________________________________
The big lie is when the Antichrist goes into the temple, sits, claims to have acheived God-hood in 2Thessalonians2:4.
There will be many who will believe his (the Antichrist's) claim right off the bat.
John, in the vision, saw the beast in the healed state. The wording is such that head had not just been wounded but mortally wounded, killed.
The person will not be dead for long, because his body will not be buried, denied of some glorified tomb, like some famous kings have had.
Isaiah 14:18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. [it is talking about some big memorial tombs]
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them [the famous kings of the nations, buried in their fancy tombs] in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
So the person is going to be dead only a few days. His body not buried. But in the observance state. Everything will appear on camera, as the world sees him come back to life.
It will fulfill Revelation 17:8b. "was, and is not, and yet is". was alive (as the revealed man of sin), is killed, and comes back to life (as the beast).
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Hi Douggg,
The `beast that was and is not and yet is,` we know is Satan. The `as if mortally wounded,` is a man, the A/C.
Now the `strong delusion,` meaning - to stray from orthodoxy, and not receiving the truth.
This is what most in man`s religious organisations are now professing - kingdom now. We can fix the world`s problems and make it God`s kingdom. This fits very well into the philosophy of the world which is `Together we can save the world.`
