I am NOT your brother. You don’t have the eyes to see.
You seem happy about this……
Therefore you have not been chosen for eternal life by My Father.
Here’s a shining example of the love that hallmarks a Christian’s heart, which is being sanctified!!
[FONT="]Why do you seem so angry? Is the fact that I hold the same belief as all Christians before Darby came along in the 19th century and made up the popular, tribulation/rapture/antichrist [/FONT]

Look where we were 100 years ago...how old is the earth, again?

Has anybody given thought to the idea that the Muslim 'saviour' is so close for them? They ARE having prophesies of their end times come to pass and are in the final stages of that. Their religion teaches that a saviour will come (some claim it to be Jesus as a prophet) and bring peace to the earth while destroying the enemy of Islam. America (to the Muslims) is seen as the nation blamed for this war against Islam. America, being a 'Christian' nation, therefore makes Christianity THE enemy religion. So in essence, the appearance of their 'christ' will bring peace on earth while taking revenge on the Christians and Jews. Sounds like the the exact description of OUR ANTICHRIST in the book of Daniel.
How far fetched is the idea of a religion teaching 'Christ' (a messenger of God) as being able to be reached via meditation and other eastern mysticism practices? Because as ridiculous as this sounds, it does exist. Their religion teaches that this cosmic Christ (writing it makes me feel ill) will come and bring an 'enlightenment' to the world on a global scale.
So how's about I pitch an idea for an Antichrist scenario, think of it as a movie plot;
In the near future...
Via meditation and trying to reach 'enlightenment', followers of these religions unanimously hear a spiritual voice of a 'messenger'. He speaks of peace and love, and that the world has reached the point where he has had to step in. Suddenly (thanx to the internet) thousands upon thousands of Hindu-practicing followers post their experience for the world to see. The fact that there are thousands of these post all sent around the world at around the same time, all describing the same experience, would draw immediate news coverage. Thanx to the idiot box (sorry, I mean television), people flock to the sounds of hope FINALLY coming from the news. This 'Christ' belief engulfs the world because in today's world (as any zombie flick will show) majority rule, they dictate and they act.
And majority rule whatever the TV tells them to.
The UN hits panic mode as millions upon millions of hopefuls cry out for peace in one voice as spoken by the messenger, through his enlightened ones. The UN have no choice but to call back their troops, the muslims see this as the world bowing down to the saviour of Islam and so their religion is proven to be 'the one'.
There are only 2 groups of people claiming this is not THE Christ. Christians and Jews. Objecting to the worship of the 'enlightened' Christ, the world has no choice but to view Christians and Jews as an enemy to what FINALLY brought peace unto the earth. At this point it would be easy to introduce a mark, or chip or what have you, on your right hand to separate the 'peaceful' and the 'non believers'. Or personally trying to reach 'enlightenment' by opening up your 3rd eye, which just so happens to be on your forehead. The whole '9/11 conspiracy' is revealed to have some truth behind it, with the statement that it was indeed Israel who was behind the attacks in order to use the strength of the US army to proclaim war on Israel's longest enemy, Islam. Finally, the anger felt towards this mass deception is felt throughout the entire world. This 'enlightened' Christ proclaims war on his enemies, being all those whose chose not to worship him, either by carrying the mark physical mark on their hands or spiritual mark on their foreheads. Or in simple terms, Christians and Jews.
And so, the final persecution begins. Until the final martyr is gathered under the throne and the true Christ is revealed.
Just some extreme ideas that, although so amazingly science fiction, is some what a possibility .

depends what God you are talking about..??
and it depends what 'Mark"...
I've heard the antichrsit will rise up through the vatican...
which isn't a huge surprise..considering I was raised one..and there is PLENTY of LIES going on in that church...
but then again..the old egyption mysticism..and the old druid cultures...
are in for a HUGE AWAKENING....
the illuminati...does NOT CONTROL DESTINY...
and they are fools in the eyes of the living GOD..if they think they can play "god"
you got a wrong idea of the muslim Antichrist (Dajjal) The AntiChrist will clame to be the God, or the son of God and he will perform many miracles, to support his claim.
The only One in the Quran who bear the name of ''Massih'' (Messiah) is Jesus, son of Mary.
and the AntiChrist (Dajjal) in Islam is also called ''Massih'' (Messiah), but he is the false Messiah
so we have the True messiah; Massih Jesus, son of Mary
and we have the False messiah; Massih Dajjal
Dajjal is an arabic word that can be translated as ''The Impostor'' or ''The Deceiver'' ... because that is what he will do ... he will deceive people into making them believe that he is god !
so anyone who comes to Us in this life, right now at the moment we are talking, and claim to be a god or son of god, Muslims will not follow .... but you Christians, you might follow him since you claim Jesus is son of god. Dajjal, this false messiah will perform miracles to support the claim of his deity. and since you believe Jesus is god in the flesh, son of god, then why woulld you reject the dajjal ? how can you tell who is the true messiah from the false messiah, that is why Many of your people will follow him (the Antichrist) and THEN Jesus is to appear ... Jesus is the only ONE who will be able to KILL the False Messiah.
if you are fortunate enough not to witness the Anti-Christ, then your children certainly shall. Before the Anti-Christ shall appear we have been told there shall be a SYSTEM, a DAJJAL- system, that is up and running, that shall await his arrival. This DAJJAL-system, will be the most evil and most corrupt satanic, kaafir force in history.
This system shall promote mass immorality (Homosexuality, Adultery, Fornication), Atheism, Devil-worship, use of USURY, Intoxication, (Alcohol & Drug abuse), Crime, Injustice, Oppression, Fitnah of the Pen (Pornography magazines etc.), cause wars, Famine, Massacres, Rape and suffering on an immeasurable scale.
DAJJAL will have the power to cause Famine, Earth quakes and destruction on a mass scale. Many Muslims will join the ranks of DAJJAL on being afraid of his power. Only those with very strong faith will be able to resist.
Absolute freedom of the human conscience from servitude to, or subjection by, anyone or anything; and realization that one’s life, livelihood, and sustenance are all in the hands of God and God alone.
The best way to remember God is described to us by the Messenger (Peace and blessings be upon him), he said: “…and the best (supplication) I and the other prophets who were sent who were sent before me proclaimed was: There is no deity worthy of worship but God, He is Alone and has no partner. To Him belongs the Ownership (of everything), and to Him belongs all Praise, and He has total power over all things.” [Laa ilaaha ill Allah, wah.dahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul h.amdu wa huwa `alaa kulli shay'in Qadeer.] At-Tirmidhi
that is why Muslims will not follow the Antichrist (Dajjal), no Matter how powerful he might be.

Luke 17:12-30
And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
We can learn a lot from these verses. It starts with ten men WHO CALLS ON JESUS FOR MERCY!
All ten were healed as one would say by a MIRACLE.
But only ONE turned back and glorified God as he fell on his face and worshipped Him!
And what makes this so special was that he was a SAMARITAN! A STRANGER!
What religion did he practice?
We learn that the kingdom of God does not come with observation and that it is within us!
We also learn that the last days will be just as Noah and the flood, and Lot in Sodom!
I am not waiting on any one person in particular as far as the antichrist is concerned.
The antichrist is .... Jesus! (our understanding of Him).
There's only one correct answer and set in this Bible is a choice of heaven or hell!
Proverbs 18:20-21
A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Daniel 7:20-21
And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
21I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Psalm 45:6-7
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Now I could be wrong in this, but won't the Anti-Christ be a man, you know, a person? Isn't that what the Bible said?
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
tells us how we will recognize the Antichrist: “Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
Revelation 13:5-8
The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months. He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.

1 Thessalonians 2:1-11
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
Is this a person mentioned in these verses or something more?
He will sit in the temple, showing himself that he is God. Ok. what is the temple now?
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Romans 8:1-14
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
It talks of him whos coming is after the workings of satan. Is this a particular man?
Matthew 24:1-4
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
First, we notice that the temple made with human hands shall be thrown down. This is because the temple is now our bodies. Then, when the disciples asked Him of the sign of His coming, Jesus says to take heed that NO MAN DECIEVE YOU. MANY shall come in my name saying I am the Christ. Not that these are many men named Jesus who will come all claiming to be the messiah; but lets take christianity for an example. How many different doctrines of christianity all claiming that the Jesus they preach leads to eternal life are there? If the path to life is truly narrow, then someone has to be wrong!
In Revelation, the beast mentioned is the world's false image of the one true God.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

Romans 8:1-14
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

2And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
First, we notice that the temple made with human hands shall be thrown down. This is because the temple is now our bodies. Then, when the disciples asked Him of the sign of His coming, Jesus says to take heed that NO MAN DECIEVE YOU. MANY shall come in my name saying I am the Christ. Not that these are many men named Jesus who will come all claiming to be the messiah; but lets take christianity for an example. How many different doctrines of christianity all claiming that the Jesus they preach leads to eternal life are there? If the path to life is truly narrow, then someone has to be wrong!
In Revelation, the beast mentioned is the world's false image of the one true God.

Dunno if someone has posted this info already but it's interesting after the above comment, I read it on a friends post...
"In 1993 Shimon Peres handed Jerusalem over to Pope John Paul II. To this day Jerusalem is actually owned by the Vatican! See the documentation for this at this video below:
YouTube - NEW WORLD ORDER.THE DEVIL IN THE VATICAN!! pt28 The Popes temple mount. "
It's no secret that the pope has embraced Islam as a form of salvation to humanity. Considering in 2006, the Pope entered into the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. There he joined his Muslim brethren in prayer. Although some Catholics say the Pontiff only mediated. Still, the head of the Vatican religion prayed or meditated in the direction of Mecca, with Muslims who prayed in the name of Allah... interesting. Im not saying that the Vatican will produce the antichrist, but I believe the tools are there for them to aid the process. Btw, I don't hate catholics but I cannot agree with the vatican and it's changing of Christian times, celebrations and holy days.
Much love
Allah = is the standard Arabic word for God. While the term is best known in the West for its use by Muslims as a reference to God, it is used by Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic faiths, including Jews and Christians.
let me share something with you,
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful;
It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards East or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing. [Quran 2:177]
The prophets of before, Used to pray in the same way Muslims today pray ! Believe me, If you want to get closer to God, Submit to Him. Humiliate yourself and bow down to Him, Prostrate to Him. Put your forehead on the ground. Accept what you are ... nothing but a SLAVE of God. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker[Psalm 95:6]
Then Ezra praised the LORD, the great God, and all the people chanted, "Amen! Amen!" as they lifted their hands. Then they bowed down and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground. [Nehemiah 8:6]
Do you pray like the messengers of God have prayed ?
We must realize that human beings chosen by God to bring God's message, are the best of human beings. If you walk in their footsteps you might get closer to God.
Peace

I was never attacking the way muslims pray. Although, I can kneel and pray to my work locker, does it make my prayers spiritual? I cannot, however, justify a belief system that removes the very reason for Christ on earth which was His resurrection. This post is not about muslims vs Christians however. It is regarding the final days and prophecies made regarding peace between middle eastern countries. I was pointing out the figure who is taking the steps to make this happen.

I think we need to be careful here. Yes the signs are there that we are living near, if not in the end times. But we CAN NOT predict when the end times will happen or say who the anti Christ is. Only God knows the time when these things will happen. There has been so many false prophecies about when the anti Christ will come, its happened all through history. The thing is, the anti Christ will not come until there is no one earth that wants to be saved because God wants all His children to be saved.
God told me that when the end times will start is when the whole earth becomes united and are of one accord and say 'We have no need of God, we do not want Him' When the world says that, whole earth will commit the unforgivable sin, the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
There is still so many to be saved and God will not stop until all who can be saved are saved. If you want to look more into the power of oneness, look at my bible study post. http://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/15459-power-oneness.html
