Hi nolidad,

No, it doesn't, agreed. The only mention of the false prophet is in Revelation and even then it is for the second half of the 7 years.
So where do I come up with my position? It is because the false prophet performs miracles, like Elijah of calling fire down from heaven. And in Judaism, part of their belief is that the messiah will anointed the King of Israel by a known prophet, same as Saul and David by Samuel, and Solomon by Nathan.
The person you are calling the Antichrist, would be more appropriately called the arch villain of the end times because of the many roles he goes through. Being the King of Israel is the Antichrist role.
Differently, being the little horn, and then later the beast in Revelation, the person is the 7th and 8th king of Revelation 17:10-11, of the Roman Empire in the end times. Definitely no longer the King of Israel, when he becomes the beast.
Are you claiming there will be those who are not a part of the Church, in the passage above?
Most Dispensationalists talk about Two Peoples of God, but you have invented Three Peoples of God.
Gal 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
In the passage below we find that the promise to the Old Testament Saints is the same as ours.
Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Heb 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Heb 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
In the passage below Christ tells Nicodemus that nobody will inherit the Kingdom of God, without being "born-again" of the Spirit of God. This would include the Old Testament Saints.
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
We find below that even the Old Testament Saints were indwelled with the Spirit.
Isa 63:11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
Luk 1:67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
These passages kill your Three Peoples of God invention.

"The messiah" is the King of Israel, that's the role.Sorry, but He is not anointed by the false prophet! Shortly after the antichrists resurrection, He enters the temple and deeclares Himself Messiah- the bible says the false prophet causes an image to speak, but no where is it even implied that Israel accepts this false prophet as a prophet nor the Antichrist as messiah!
Not so fast there, bro. Let`s have a closer look at God`s word.
1. You say that the promise of the OT saints is the same as ours, quoting Heb. 11: 13 - 15, however if you read to the end of the chapter you will see that our inheritance is different.
`God having provided something better for us...` (Heb. 11: 40)
The person is not resurrected. He comes back to life, but his body is never buried. So he will only be dead a few days.
"The messiah" is the King of Israel, that's the role.
Hi BobRyan,
Easy to say, harder to prove.
Marilyn.
Initially, the Jews will not think the false prophet is a false prophet, but Elijah.And Israel does not recognize HIm as such- especially as He declares genocide against Israel! and Israel doesn't recognize the office of the false prophet either- so it is a usurpation that Israel does not accept.
Hello M CHi jgr,
Let`s see what God says -
`Rejoice, O gentiles, with His people, for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and render vengeance to His adversaries; He will provide atonement for His LAND and His PEOPLE.` (Deut. 32: 43)
We both know that the Lord paid the price for sin upon the cross. That is one aspect of atonement. Then there is the `avenging & vengeance,` upon His adversaries to accomplish.
Redemption for the nation of Israel, (an earthly nation) involves the payment for their national rebellion, plus the outing of the enemies who have `divided up my land, etc` (Joel 3: 2)
Marilyn.
Hello M C
God says that was fulfilled in the 1st century/70ad.
Please read Revelation from a Jewish 1st century perspective like a Hebrew Jew would....
"DAYS OF VENGEANCE" Isaiah 61:2 and Luke 21:22 Revelation
Isaiah 61:2
To proclaim the year of the good pleasure of Yahweh,
And the day of vengeance<5359> of our 'Elohiym, To comfort all mourners.
Luke 4:
17 the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:
21 and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled<4137> in your hearing.”
40 yrs later in 70AD, the days of vengeance were fulfilled.......
Ripping one verse out of its context to prove your Three Peoples of God doctrine falls apart when the whole passage is viewed below.
Heb 11:39 And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise,
Heb 11:40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.
Something that has happened is history (unchangeable), something that not has happened is future ... there is no in-between or "breaks" ... that is a fact and does not have to be proven.
God knows the beginning to the end ... continuous.
Then we know that the Lord puts down all rule and authority in the tribulation and millennium till finally there is a New Heavens and New Earth in which the city part of Jerusalem comes down out of heaven from God.
Hi eleos,
True, however when God is speaking prophetically He often jumps time in relation to what He is revealing. For example -
`The Spirit of the Lord is upon me....to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God.` (Isa. 61: 1 & 2)
Time continues, but God reveals His purposes a bit at a time.

The Antichrist person is the another that Jesus referred to in John 5:
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
It isn't until the Antichrist betrays the Jews by doing the transgression of desolation act in 2Thessalonians2:4, that the Jews reject him as continuing as their King of Israel.
Well that is doing alot of implying without Scriptural Evidence.
Simon bar Kochba was never anointed the King of Israel, nor by a known prophet. There have only been three kings over united Israel. Saul and David, anointed by the prophet Samuel. Solomon, anointed by the prophet Nathan. The Jews consider Simon bar Kochba a "failed messiah".As for JOhn 5 that also is a stretch. Jesus bar Kochba came in his own name in the 2nd century and turned the Jews to himself.
Also if the antichrist is anointed King of Israel and the false prophet does the anointing- where is that even implied?
The antichrist is not the king of Israel at teh beginning of the 70th week of Daniel- for He signs a treaty with Israel. Kings do not sign treaties with his own population
There is evidence, but not a direct statement.
nolidad, please go to this thread, my post #77.
"peace and safety" and the red horse
nolidad, this is where all those years, since 2004, of me arguing with the Jews, over 10,000 posts at their sites, which I got exposed to a lot of valuable information, even though I disagree with their overall position, comes into play. To become the King of Israel, the person must be anointed by a known prophet like Samuel and Nathan, and anointed with a special blend of oil and spices. The Jews gave me the biblical reference to exactly what that blend is, but I don't recall the passage.
Can you show us how many mortals are left alive on the planet at the end of the following passage?
Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Mat 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Mat 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Mat 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Mat 25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Mat 25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Mat 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
Mat 25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Mat 25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Mat 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Mat 25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Mat 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Mat 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Mat 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
How will your mortals survive the "flaming fire" found at the Second Coming of Christ below?
2Th 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
2Th 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
Your interpretation of Revelation chapter 20 falls apart in the passages above and the video below.

nolidad, what is the beginning condition right before the Day of the Lord in 1Thessalonians5 ? It is them saying Peace and Safety? So if that were the same as Israel living in safety prior to Gog/Magog, it is in conflict with the beginning of the Day of the Lord in 2Thessalonians2:4, the Antichrist going into the temple and sitting, some time in the middle of the 7 years.Well I read your peace and safety. You have badly bungled things. The peace and safety is most likely a pre-trib event. the results of the Russian invasion,m and the wars of the antichrist to rise to global power!
I have been saying over and over the person has to be descended from King David.You forget the most important thing required for a person to be anointed King of Israel! they have to be a direct descendant of King David! No Jew would ever allow anyone to be called King (accept the most secular I suppose) unless they could prove their lineage goes back to David.
The antichrist is to be a prince of the people who came and destroyed the sanctuary. So he will be a ruler of the Roman Empire.
