Proof of the Antichrist and His Mark.
Nero was revealed 2000 years ago, my brother.
Im being serious he has to reach every man woman and child and mark them with a (chargma). Small and great rich and poor.
Im suggesting hes already been at for well over his alotted 1260 days.
The mark is nothing else other than a mark, tattoo, or otherwise. Verichip, maybe, but verichips are invisible and not planted in the hand or forehead they are usually placed someone unseen like the back of the upper arm /shoulder.
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]
Hello Dragoon9,
A lot of people who think they have a great relationship with God, unknowingly already have the mark of the beast. That has been the case for well over 1260 years. Affecting Billions through out history.
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 .
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.
Peace be to you1 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.
Interesting theory Rich and probably the most viable and realistic of any given suggestions so far.
People must keep in mind that the Antichrist will negociate a peace treaty between Israel and the surrounding Muslim nations, most likely after the War of Gog & Magog has already taken place. Thus the Antichrist will be a man of political power. However, scripture does talk about another, a fals prophet, whom could very well be a future pope.
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
