They are both right, God chose before the foundation of the world. to save whoever called onto his name, As he said himself in John 6, it was the will of the father that whoever sees and believes, will be given eternal life, and never be lost.
God will refuse to save no one who calls on his name in true saving faith.

It's going to be an unholy trinity. Three. A false prophet (yes, a religious man), will be one of the persons. But just as some think Trump will play a part, as many others thought Obama or Bush or the Clintons would!
The reason I think the RCC could play a role is because of the verse that talks of "Mother of all Harlots." The catholic church can sort of be seen as the mother of all denominations, so...
As for the other two, one is actually satan to my understanding of the verses. The other could be political. It does make sense with the verses. I guess I just don't see that political figure coming out of the U.S...

I agree, if it was from th us, scripture would not talk about him being from rome, the us is no where near rome, or even the territory held by rome, so no one wouod see a us leader as comming from rome to interpret him as being the prince who came from the people ho destroyed jerusalm in 70 Ad
Edit, also, the world hates the US, they will chear when the us is destroyd, no one is going to follow the us.

Many Christians, my self included believe that God is sovereign over all things. We believe He causes everything that happens to happen, we even believe He is sovereign over who He chooses to save.
We don't believe in a God who "attempts" or "tries" to do anything, we believe in a God who does whatever He pleases and never fails to to whatever He pleases. We believe He chose to save a certain number of people before he created the world, I know that sounds incredible but God is beyond incredible. He is far bigger and greater than we give Him credit for.

I believe in a great d who is soverign over all things,
I also believe in a God who is who he claims to be, a God of love, in order to love, you have to give free will, robots can not respond to you, and you can not love a robot,
Yet through this, God is omniscient, and inspite of mans free will, his will will still be accomplished.
If there is no free will, evil can not be explained away, but to determin, gods will was to creat evil and pain and suffering. That is not the god i know

Went out from us.... does not mean from us as that literally seen . They could literally go out from us but that does not define the us in Christ. Some literally stay and have no relationship with Christ but more play church. Hoping attending confirms they have the Holy Spirit .
That's the error the apostles made at first when they were acting as another Christ (mediator) which describes the antichrists. Those who say other men must teach them because only they know the infallible truths, Like Jim Jones or any group that usurp the authority of the Holy spirit in who we must abide in as he not seen teaches us .
Luke 9 and Mark 9 are an excellent example of rightly dividing the us . Luke has a fuller teaching.
You could say it was a non object as that not seen lesson. Teaching the apostles how to hear God not seen through the parables. Hiding the spiritual understanding from the intellect of man or philosophies.
Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying. Luke 9:44-45
Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. Luke 9:46
At that point they forsake Jesus standing right in front of them and reasoned after the philosophies or wisdom of this world and not no by the faith alone as that which comes from hearing God . Literally playing "who is the greatest" get venerated the highest (a Pagan tradition ) Christ then showing them how childish they were
And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.Luke 9:47-48
The apostles still not understanding the parable the spiritual meaning hid , replied
And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.Luke 9:49
There the apostles thought that not literally being one of us made up the us in Christ And Christ continues to teach them the proper us is not in respect to the things seen the temporal but the things of faith as those of God make up the us in Christ .They were still hoping the kingdom of God came by observation like the Pharisees with Sadducees
And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.Luke 9:50
There Christ defines the us as if we were not really there... walking by faith the unseen, eternal and not by sight after the things of men seen .Again hiding the spiritual understanding .And they looked to the literal as that seen therefore not receiving Christ because of their personal prejudices hoping the flesh of a Jew could profit for something
And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? Luke 9:51-54
Three times denying the unseen us in Christ, with three signifying the end of the manner, Christ said to them.
But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.Luke 9:55
The manner they were following after was that of natural unconverted man who does walk by sight as if the kingdom did come by observation .

The god of this world is very religious .

I believe we are like robots in a way, because we are only what God made us to be. We can't change a single thing in this whole universe, we rely on Him for our next breath.
The love that's in us was put there by God Himself, we can't produce love because only God is love.
I believe every atom in the universe is exactly where God preordained it to be and He causes all things that happen to happen. If that wasn't the case then God wouldn't be all powerful, all mighty, all knowing and all the rest of His amazing qualities.
Our God is an infinitely wise God so He knows the whole of human history from it's beginning to the end, He preordained everything so nothing takes Him by surprise. Even the evil and suffering are part of His creation, He created Satan and Satan is doing exactly as God created him to do.

thanks for the clarification.
Isreal does not follow the antichrist, If anything all he does is pass a peace agreement (covenant) with them, After 3.5 years where he desecrates the temple. They are told to flee. where God will protect them.
I see AC as the prince who is to come in Daniel 9, who comes from the people who destroyed the temple in ad 70. thats why I say he is from rome or europe or something resembling the iron beast, (he is called the beast of iron and clay)
