The End Times: Who is the Beast and the Antichrist?

View attachment 256912

Wow, so you admit that's what you're doing! Aw, that's so sweet. Thank you! ❤️💕💖

There's a thread right now called "What is the point of being a prophet?" where the original poster starts with that question and then several posts later give his prophecy about the beast which he thinks is Russia, the antichrist which he thinks is Putin and the US he thinks is Babylon. There are too many Bible verses that contradict that prophecy and I posted that as such.

I'm truly surprised that no one is posting against that false prophecy except me though. This forum is well versed in the Rapture and its various positions of No-. Pre-, Mid-, and Post-Tribulation Rapture. So the silence on other areas of study on the end times is quite significant and I think strange.

I think this is a very important topic since the end times and the revealing of the beast is fast approaching with a lot of false prophecy is coming out of the woodwork lately to try to distract us from the real deal. I don't think we should be uninformed about this. So I'm asking everyone: Who do you think is the beast, the antichrist and Babylon? Please post the Bible verses that brought you to that belief.

Thanks!

Why does it matter? We will all see the end of time when we take our last breath or Jesus returns. Either way, it's game over.

Jerusalem is more than 50 km from the Mediterranean Sea.

Revelation 18:17-19
For in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste!’ And every shipmaster and every passenger and sailor, and all who make their living by the sea, stood at a distance, and were crying out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What city is like the great city?’ And they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich from her prosperity, for in one hour she has been laid waste!’

I'm a post-tribber so that means I believe we will all be here when all this goes down. It helps to know who they are so that we won't be fooled.


Matthew 24:24 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.

It's only possible to deceive us if we don't know.

If you don't think we'll be here then go ahead and skip this thread. But this might be a good reference if the ac shows up and you're still here.

If you choose to not know, why did you even bother to respond to this thread then? 🤷

Absolutely true we can be easily deceived if we don't know. That is don't know God's word. If we know God's word and follow Christ then to me it doesn't matter what comes my way. Any tribulation such as the first century endured or death or Jesus' return. Jesus warned of the tribulation that the first century Christians would endure but it didn't change a thing. They still had to endure it.
What's I feel is important is knowing God's word and living it so we are ready for whatever comes.

I responded to the false claim made.

Really? I didn't see your rebuttal against the false interpretation that Babylon is Jerusalem.

that is not my problem you did not see it You were not the first to do so.

So you DID refute the false interpretation that Babylon is Jerusalem. Which post was it?

If you want to ask the wrong question, then you will easily provide yourself with the wrong answer.

The correct question is what city is guilty of the blood of both Jesus and Paul, and the correct answer to that question is Jerusalem.

Regarding Jesus:

Matthew 20:17-19

"And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again."

Regarding Paul:

Acts 21:10-14

"And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus. And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done."

Whether you or any of the other scripture haters here like it or not, the "great city" of the book of Revelation, or "Babylon the great," is guilty of the blood of the prophets, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Revelation 18:24

"And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."

Jesus Christ, not that his words mean anything to several of you, told us exactly what city this is:

Matthew 23:34-37

"Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!"

You and your equally ignorant friends here can kick against this truth all that you want to, but you are only openly manifesting your own folly, stubbornness, and pride in doing so. My advice to all of you is to repent, but I will not hold my breath waiting for it to happen.

Just a quick piece of advice for anybody here who has not already been woefully brainwashed.

When it comes to identifying any entity in the Bible, look at all of the descriptors that you are given. Every one of them needs to be a match.

Of course, in some of the absolute nonsense which has been paraded as "biblical truth" on this thread, nothing matches.

In other words, their "great city Babylon" is not even a city, nor is it truly accountable for the blood of the prophets. Of course, Peter was not writing from there either, nor were the merchants of the sea selling it the listed merchandise in the book of Revelation.

Do not let any of these truths trouble you though.

Just keep on insisting that you are right, in spite of ever-mounting evidence to the contrary, and, in time, you too can be deluded.

Seriously, several people on this thread need to be on their knees repenting before God as opposed to posting here, but their pride and stubbornness prevents them from doing so.

Anyhow, the woman sitting upon the beast is Jerusalem, and, of course, for anybody here who has the slightest clue of what they are talking about, this makes perfect sense. In other words, in the last days, Jerusalem (the woman) will enter in an agreement with the antichrist (the beast), and he, the antichrist, will sit within a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem prior to Christ's second coming. Eventually, the antichrist will turn against Jerusalem, and she will be burnt with fire. Then Christ will return as Israel's/Jerusalem's true King to reign over this earth.

Just a quick reality check in layman's terms.

By tradition it is said they Paul was beheaded in Rome, there is no documents that proves he died in Jerusalem.

Blessings.

Rome/Vatican also seem to fit the description, perhaps in this time-frame of the last days, Jerusalem is a possibility, the level of corruption there in both the politicians and religious leaders is quite shocking.
