The term Antichrist is formed by adding the prefix "Anti" to the term Christ. "Christ the King of Israel", Mark 15:32. Why is the King of Israel not a title to an office or position?And like I stated, your question is OFF because being the Anti-Christ is NOT A TITLE, thus your question therefore is a rather benign type argument, harmless, but yet confusing..
It was God's command to not marry unbelieving aliens. But if such an individual submitted in faith and obedience to God's requirements under the Old Covenant, that individual was accorded the same spiritual privileges as any faithful and obedient Israelite. God has always known everyone's heritage and bloodline. But those have never been criteria for His acceptance and blessing.My reference to DNA is simply that it was not even heard of let alone understand that such a thing could exist to ID a person heritage that way , for thousands of years people knew their heritage without even knowing that DNA existed , surely in modern 21st century times people will say it is important - but during the early periods of diaspora people knew their heritage without DNA testing as there was no DNA testing that existed but they knew whether or not they were true descendants of Israel
It was Gods command to Israel to Not marry outside of Israelite people ,
Samson was not to be with women he was with as the same was with David - then there is the matter of when the Gentile church being grafted into the Israeli family it was being discussed if the Gentile church should follow the same rules and laws that the Israeli people did -some said they should some said they need not to and it was decided that the Gentiles who accepted Jesus as messiah did not have to be compelled to follow all the commands and rules and regulations that were placed on Israelite 's just because they accepted Jesus as messiah - simply because the Gentiles are not Jewish or Israeli bloodline and DNA was not even a thought during those days but yet they knew their heritage . Without very extensive writing - at this point in time to understand some prophetic writings it is important to understand that before Jesus returns there is a distinction between Israel and the church- Body of Christ - but after Jesus returns it will no longer be relevant - in some ways now it is relevant and yet in some ways it is not relevant -but to understand some things it is important- but due to how long it takes to explain it I will not get it to that long of description
The EU is the fourth empire. The end times version of the Roman empire.The Beast is the E.U. President

There are numerous OT examples of how God slew by the thousands Israelites who had the "approved" heritage and bloodline, but who disobeyed and rebelled. Conversely, aliens such as Rahab were recognized and cited over 1,000 years later for their faith and obedience.
God's criteria have never changed.
But chapter 17 is about the HARLOT BEING JUDGED !!The horns and heads are not on the harlot.
Anti means AGAINST...............................You can try and fudge it all you want, it means AGAINST. And the Anti-Christ WILL NEVER be the King of Israel, the scripture tells us that, but you just refuse to receive it brother.The term Antichrist is formed by adding the prefix "Anti" to the term Christ. "Christ the King of Israel", Mark 15:32. Why is the King of Israel not a title to an office or position?
No it is not, Read Daniel 7:11, tell me how Rome is cast into hell !! The Beast is cast into HELL. Rome is DEAD it suffered the Mortal Wound. The New Beast arises with the 10 Horns out of the Fourth Beasts HEAD !! The 6th Beast has FALLEN before the 7th Beast that is to come ARRIVES.The EU is the fourth empire. The end times version of the Roman empire.
In Revelation 13, the composite description of the beast coming out of the sea includes lion, the bear, the leopard - the first three empires. But it doesn't include in its make up the beast with the iron teeth and nails of brass, because it itself is the fourth empire.
The little horn in Daniel 7 comes out of the fourth empire, in the text - not seventh empire.
It doesn't change that the heads and horns are not on the harlot.But chapter 17 is about the HARLOT BEING JUDGED !!
Jerusalem Is The harlot, Mystery Babylon The Great.But chapter 17 is about the HARLOT BEING JUDGED !!
Rev. 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters: {CHAPTER 17 IS ABOUT THE Judgment of the harlot/Harlot !!}
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
This chapter is about the Harlot being JUDGED and her position via the kings. She rode their backs signifying she was a part of their kingdoms feeding them FALSE RELIGIOUS NOTIONS along the way, but of course she has never had any power over the Kingdoms in ANY WISE !! This just in, this is Gods way of telling those that say the Harlot s the RCC (which it is not) that the Religious side has NO POWER over the Horns nor over the Heads, that is Satan (over the Heads/World powers) and the Beast )over the 10 Horns/10 Kings).
You confuse what each chapter is representing, then you claim they are different. They are not.
All three are about the World Governments over ISRAEL at VARIOUS TIMES !! The first is showing in Rev. ch. 12 is showing that Satan is over all Kingdoms of this earth, just as he told Jesus in Luke 4. The 2nd showing in Rev. 13 is showing that the Beast/Little Horn is over the 10 Kings. The 3rd Showing in Rev. ch 17 is showing that the Harlot is co-mingled with the Seven Headed Beast and 10 Kings BUT HAS NO POWER over anything they do, hence she is even killed off by them in this very chapter !! The Crowns are designating POWER !! The Dragon has POWER !! The Beast has POWER !! The Harlot has NO POWER !! Simple as that brother Douggg.
Anti means AGAINST...............................You can try and fudge it all you want, it means AGAINST. And the Anti-Christ WILL NEVER be the King of Israel, the scripture tells us that, but you just refuse to receive it brother.
No it is not, Read Daniel 7:11, tell me how Rome is cast int hell !! The Beast is cast into HELL. Rome is DEAD it suffered the Mortal Wound. The New Beast arises with the 10 Horns out of the Fourth Beasts HEAD !! The 6th Beast has FALLEN before the 7th Beast that is to come ARRIVES.
The E.U. is where the BEAST Arises.
Yes it does, I have give this to this board umpteen times.
Rev. 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard (Greece), and his feet were as the feet of a bear (Persia), and his mouth as the mouth of a lionBabyon) and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death (ROME); and his deadly wound was healed (Anti-Christ/Little Horn....Becomes the BEAST HERE): and all the world wondered after the beast.
Verse 2 has all of the Kingdoms inverted, maybe Jesus and John are looking back in time this the Leopard comes first, then the Bear, then the Lion ?? !!
Then we have Rome who suffered the Mortal Wound, BUT WHY? Because Israel was NO MORE a nation, God stated in Ezekiel that Israel would become as Dead Men's Bones and thus God saw them as DEAD....He dispersed them unto all the world and turned His back on Israel for almost 2000 years !! There can be NO BEAST when there is NO ISRAEL !! Open you eyes here brother. The Seven Headed Beast is a FIGURATIVE BEAST, thus the Mortal Wound is Figurative. When Israel was dispersed the World over the Beast (Rome) ceased being a Beast over Israel RIGHT? Of course I am right, how can you Lord over a nation that is DEAD ?
After nearly 2000 years, God brought Israel back to life, just like He told Israel he was going to do in the END TIMES....Its right there in the scriptures brother. Son of man, can these bones love again? Thou knowest O Lord !! Amen. Yes the can and yes they did come alive again, thus we can now have the LAST BEAST...........Only now, 2000 years after Rome Ceased being a Beast.
The Anti-Christ Conquers Jerusalem/Israel and becomes the LAST BEAST and thus the Mortal Wound is Healed !!
Two Empires preceded Babylon, (Egypt and Assyria). He arises out of the Fourth Beasts HEAD. Which means in their territory. He is the 7th Beast thus the King that is YET TO COME, the 6th Beast will FALL so says Rev. 17 and Dan. ch. 7.
Jerusalem Is The harlot, Mystery Babylon The Great.
There is a lot of symbolism below, gates, walls, foundations, measurements?No, that is not what the Lord prophesied.
The Lord spoke of things all the time in Spiritual terms, symbolism, cryptic imagery, types and as shadows. It's not as if it's some new methodology never seen in the Bible before or something new that has just been invented.
Luke 3:3-6
You didn't think Isaiah, under the inspiration of God, was actually declaring that a physical valley in Israel or Mountains or plains would be resettled, did you?
- "And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
- As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
- Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
- And all flesh shall see the salvation of God."
Isaiah 40:3
You didn't think Isaiah was talking about someone coming who was so talented in construction that he would build physical highways out in the Desert for the Lord to walk on, did you? There's nothing new in this interpretation. The Jerusalem in view is NOT a physical city in the Middle East, but a spiritual city where the nations/gentiles to enter into that they might worship God.
- "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God."
The New Testament congregation of Israel is the Church. She is a physical representation of the spiritual kingdom on earth! This is who God said is Mystery Babylon who was once a faithful representation of His Kingdom has NOW BECOME the home of the devils - the false prophets and christs with Spirit of Antichrist ruling therein! She is MYSTERY because many Christians will not believe who she is unless she is Rome, New York, or even physical city of Jerusalem! Keep in mind that in Revelation 18:4, God has called His choosen Elect who can "see the abomination of desolation" standing in the church to come out of her, leaving the church to external or corporate believers who are NOT saved to be remain deceived by Satan as judgment for her unfaithfulness. Selah!
After the Lord Jesus Christ defeated Satan at the Cross, the whole world (Gentiles) would be able to come and worship God in spirit and truth IN THIS Holy City Jerusalem, which is His spiritual habitation. The City called by His name. The City of David, their King.
Revelation 21:2
Revelation 21:24
- "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."
The New Testament Holy City Jerusalem is the Church, representing this bride of Christ. The tabernacle sacrifice feast or celebration wherein we can fellowship with God. The Prophesy of the nations worship at Jerusalem is not talking about a literal City in the Middle East anymore than John the Baptist made literal crooked roads straight. It is a truth spiritually discerned of a spiritual city whose builder and maker is God. Selah!
- "And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it."
No and it doesn't change why their is NO CROWNS.......The Harlot is not in POWER.It doesn't change that the heads and horns are not on the harlot.
Over your pay-grade here..........Boy, a lot of blind leading the blind with their private interpretations going on here.
The Harlot is ALL FALSE RELIGION......Not a City.Jerusalem Is The harlot, Mystery Babylon The Great.
How is it SEEING you can't see and HEARING you can't hear?1.) Revelation 18:16KJV
"The Great City" Babylon
Revelation 11:8KJV
"The Great City" where our Lord was crucified "Jerusalem"
2.) Revelation 18:16KJV
She Wore linen, purple, scarlet, gold?
Exodus 39KJV
Jewish Levitical Priesthood, linen, purple, scarlet, gold.
There is a lot of symbolism below, gates, walls, foundations, measurements?
The Harlot is ALL FALSE RELIGION......Not a City.
The Harlot has no bearing on why there are no crowns on the heads and horns in Revelation 17.No and it doesn't change why their is NO CROWNS.......The Harlot is not in POWER.
The Beast is in power of the HORNS thus CROWNS on the HORNS.
The Dragon is in power over the HEADS thus CROWNS on the HEADS.
Over your pay-grade here..........
The Dragon is in power over the HEADS thus CROWNS on the HEADS.
Yea it does the chapter starts out by telling you who the chapter is about the JUDGMENT OF THE GREAT HARLOT !! Now you seeing that is on you, not me, I can't make you see the obvious I can only point it out. Of course you have this "IDEA" tat all three are different so you have to hold to your previous understanding, of course.The Harlot has no bearing on why there are no crowns on the heads and horns in Revelation 17.
How does an engineer not get these basic points brother? My whole POINT was that Rev. 13 is about the BEASTS power and Rev. 12 is about the DRAGONS power. The Subject of Rev. 12 is the Dragon or Satan having power over World Kingdoms and the subject of Rev. 13 is the Beast having power over the 10 Kings that follow him his making up HIS KINGDOM.....Rev. 12 is pointing unto the Dragons Kingdoms.I am assuming you are talking about Revelation 12. If so, then why doesn't tthe dragon have power over the heads in Revelation 13? There are no crowns on the heads in Revelation 13.
Ahem...why do you copy and paste? Do you not have any ideas of your own? If you started actually studying on your own the Holy Spirit might (JUST MIGHT) reveal things to you, instead you re a follower of men's ideas. That is what Copy and Paste tells me about a person.Ahem...
There is NO MYSTERY Babylon, read the bible and you would know that. In verse 7 READ WHAT IT SAYS....Then get back with me....you will see why there is NO MYSTERY any longer, and by reading verse 5 you will also understand it was NEVER Mystery Babylon to start with, it was Mystery, (COMMA) then Babylon the Great.....these are FOUR DESCRIPTORS of the Harlot, yet you don't get that, you actually think these is a Mystery Babylon !! Read verse 7....tell why there is NO MYSTERY.All who dwell in the world are not secret/mystery Babylon,
else we have contradiction after contradiction. Babylon signifies a city "in" the world, not the world itself. The kings of the world fornicate with "this city" Babylon. You can't have the world fornicating with itself. There is no symbolism in Scripture that supports that.
Revelation 14:8
Again, clearly God illustrates this woman is a great city in the world, a city that the nations "of the world" drink her wine and (like Israel before them) commit spiritual fornication. She is a spiritual Harlot.
- "And there followed another messenger, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."
Revelation 17:5
God calls her that great city, not that great earth or world. Here in this verse God calls her the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth, "not" the earth itself. That great city and a Harlot is the exact same words God called "His congregation" Israel because of their spiritual unfaithfulness. Again, Scripture interprets Scripture.
- "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
Yea it does the chapter starts out by telling you who the chapter is about the JUDGMENT OF THE GREAT HARLOT !! Now you seeing that is on you, not me, I can't make you see the obvious I can only point it out. Of course you have this "IDEA" tat all three are different so you have to hold to your previous understanding, of course.
So according to your convention, in Revelation 17, Satan has no power over any of the 7 kings in the first century? How is the Harlot depowering Satan? Can't you see that the harlot has no connection to the crowns/no crowns of the beast?My whole POINT was that Rev. 13 is about the BEASTS power and Rev. 12 is about the DRAGONS power. The Subject of Rev. 12 is the Dragon or Satan having power over World Kingdoms and the subject of Rev. 13 is the Beast having power over the 10 Kings that follow him his making up HIS KINGDOM.....Rev. 12 is pointing unto the Dragons Kingdoms.
Thus Rev. 17 is about the Harlot being Judged.
Thank you for informing us of your own research. In my opinion, the false rapture teaching was introduced and promoted by Zionists/Freemasons in order to deceive the church. The Lotus Club to which you referenced was/is composed of Freemasons. On pgs. 14-15 of "A Brief History of the Lotus Club, Cornell University Library, we find this quote:Yes.
I just found it on the shelf.

"It is at this point that Gaebelein's narrative..."
Canfield is buried in Wilson, North Carolina, which is my home state.
After I read the book I was thinking about contacting him.
But then I found out he had already gone to be with the Lord.
Some believe that Zionist Samuel Untermeyer helped Scofield finance the publication of his reference Bible, since they were both members of the exclusive "Lotus Club". It was not the kind of club where you would expect to see an evangelical preacher.
According to Frank Gaebelein, who was Arno C. Gaebelein's son, it was his father who actually wrote the notes of the Scofield Reference Bible.
Gaebelein is listed as one of the editors. He had the knowledge and ability to produce the notes.
Frank said when he was a child Scofield would show up at their house and then Scofield would go to see a movie, while his father banged away on the typewriter.
To this day nobody can figure out where Scofield's doctorate of divinity came from. It appears that he invented it in the same way that he invented his heroism during the war between the states.
.
Obviously there is a difference between gossip and facts. If you believe what I have written regarding Scofield is gossip and untrue, provide evidence indicating otherwise. Do your own research.Question: "What does the Bible say about gossip?"
Answer: The Hebrew word translated “gossip” in the Old Testament is defined as “one who reveals secrets, one who goes about as a talebearer or scandal-monger.” A gossiper is a person who has privileged information about people and proceeds to reveal that information to those who have no business knowing it. Gossip is distinguished from sharing information in two ways:
1. Intent. Gossipers often have the goal of building themselves up by making others look bad and exalting themselves as some kind of repositories of knowledge.
2. The type of information shared. Gossipers speak of the faults and failings of others, or reveal potentially embarrassing or shameful details regarding the lives of others without their knowledge or approval. Even if they mean no harm, it is still gossip.
In the book of Romans, Paul reveals the sinful nature and lawlessness of mankind, stating how God poured out His wrath on those who rejected His laws. Because they had turned away from God's instruction and guidance, He gave them over to their sinful natures. The list of sins includes gossips and slanderers (Romans 1:29b-32). We see from this passage how serious the sin of gossip is and that it characterizes those who are under God’s wrath.
Another group who were (and still are today) known for indulging in gossip is widows. Paul cautions widows against entertaining the habit of gossip and of being idle. These women are described as “gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to” (1 Timothy 5:12-13). Because women tend to spend a lot of time in each other's homes and work closely with other women, they hear and observe situations which can become distorted, especially when repeated over and over. Paul states that widows get into the habit of going from home to home, looking for something to occupy their idleness. Idle hands are the devil's workshop, and God cautions against allowing idleness to enter our lives. “A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man [or woman] who talks too much” (Proverbs 20:19).
Women are certainly not the only ones who have been found guilty of gossip. Anyone can engage in gossip simply by repeating something heard in confidence. The book of Proverbs has a long list of verses that cover the dangers of gossip and the potential hurt that results from it. “A man who lacks judgment derides his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his tongue. A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret” (Proverbs 11:12-13).
The Bible tells us that “a perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends” (Proverbs 16:28). Many a friendship has been ruined over a misunderstanding that started with gossip. Those who engage in this behavior do nothing but stir up trouble and cause anger, bitterness, and pain among friends. Sadly, some people thrive on this and look for opportunities to destroy others. And when such people are confronted, they deny the allegations and answer with excuses and rationalizations. Rather than admit wrongdoing, they blame someone else or attempt to minimize the seriousness of the sin. “A fool's mouth is his undoing, and his lips are a snare to his soul. The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts” (Proverbs 18:7-8).
Those who guard their tongues keep themselves from calamity (Proverbs 21:23). So we must guard our tongues and refrain from the sinful act of gossip. If we surrender our natural desires to the Lord, He will help us to remain righteous. May we all follow the Bible’s teaching on gossip by keeping our mouths shut unless it is necessary and appropriate to speak.
