why no beast (Antichrist) name nor false prophet name given

[Douggg]

John wrote what he saw and heard.

Surely he saw the name of the beast written on people's foreheads. As well as, saw the mark of the beast. As well as, heard the name of the false prophet.

So why did John not write those things down ?

It is because when the voices of the seven thunders spoke in Revelation 10:4, John was told not to write down what they uttered.

So in the utterances of those thundering voices, was the names of the beast and false prophet, and what the mark of the beast will be.

Which John, therefore, did not write down anywhere in Revelation.

 

[Jamdoc]

the names were considered blasphemy, he may not have written them down since they are blasphemous names, for the beast anyway.

But also, Jesus said that one would come in his own name and him they would accept (John 5:43)
but in the Olivet Discourse Jesus said false prophets would come in HIS name and claim to be ... Jesus Christ.

Matthew 24

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Islam believes in Jesus, believes he is not the Son of God, but do believe Jesus is a prophet, AND they believe Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah. What better false prophet could there be, than someone who claims to be the historical Jesus, returned from heaven? How many would be deceived? There are over 1 billion Muslims. That is many to deceive. Who else can better fit having two horns like a lamb, but speaking as a dragon, than someone who claims to be the historical Jesus Christ, returned from heaven, but says he is not the Son of God, Allah has no son?

1 John 2

22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

I know you believe it has to be the west, and believe it has to be the EU.
But the Islamic eschatology fits it to a T. Step by step by step, and even the intricate details such as not coming in the name of the Father but coming in his own name... but also coming in Jesus' name and claiming to be Christ. Sure some white guys have claimed to be Jesus, but they don't have 1.3 billion people ready to follow them, and the white guys still will say Jesus is the Son of God I think, a Muslim Jesus would not.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

People who do not understand how and when Jesus will return from heaven will be fooled

 

[Aaron112]

So why did John not write those things down ?

People who do not understand how and when Jesus will return from heaven will be fooled

People who think they do understand have been fooled too. Thus almost all people are fooled, deceived, some willingly, some wittingly, just to go along with the crowd they are in or part of.

Past tense sounds like preterism talk to me, no Jesus did not return in the past.

Sin still exists, death still exists.

The Eu only has over 300 million people. while Islam has nearly 2 BILLION.

The number 666 only shows up one more time in scripture .. so that should be a good enough hint.

 

[ebedmelech]

No name is given because as John said, there where many antichrists even as he wrote...and how did he describe antichrist?

 

[Douggg]

Gregory, actually the number itself shows up a couple of other places in the bible.

1 Kings 10:14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,

Ezra 2:13 The children of Adonikam, six hundred sixty and six.

btw, the name "Adonikam" means "my lord has arisen", also, "the Lord is risen".

 

[Aaron112]

... far from Torah ...
.. opposed to Torah ..
. enemy of Torah .

Yes, I was referring to 1 Kings 10:14, the phrasing in the Ezra verse must've been phrased differently. That's a new one thank you.

What I was referring to was, the six hundred three score and six gold that Solomon got in one year.

The fulfillment of Solomon ends up being the antichrist, the christ of mammon.

The era of kings in the mirror fulfillment already passed though. So it remains to be seen which of the successor traditions takes on the role.

Yes, we differ in our view. But I think everyone is entitled to his/her own view.

Outside yes. Inside, we are to judge. As Scripture Clearly Says.

666.

6 is the number of man.

3 is representative of unity.

666 is man unified.

Like the tower of Babel.

 

[Aaron112]

So why did John not write those things down ?

Why did all of the messengers of YHVH write what they wrote, when they wrote, and nothing else ?

YHVH's Way. He Purposed / Planned all along, since before Creating anything.
