(31) WHO WILL THE ANTICHRIST BE?

1)- He will be Italian: (Dan.9:26)-The people of the prince that will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The prince is the one that causes the Abomination of Desolation, the Antichrist. The city & Sanctuary was destroyed in 70AD by Titus and his Roman army. (Italians) 2)- He will be a little King: (Dan.7:7-8) A Horn in prophecy symbolizes a King. There were 10 Horns and a little Horn came up before whom 3 of the first Horns were plucked up by the roots. Antichrist will take leadership of these three countries by consent. 3)- He will be, or will represent one of the seven Heads: (Rev.13:1-3) The 7 Heads represent 7 world kingdoms: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medes/Persians, Greece, Roman, and the coming revived Roman Empire which is the present EU. 4)- His name/title will add up to 666: The Popes official title is Vicar Of The Son Of God. In Latin: Vicarius Filii Dei; using Roman Numerals this adds up to 666. This official title is used only at the coronation of a new pope. 5)- He will be the embodiment of the evil trinity: Satan, Antichrist and False Prophet. In his political capacity he will be Antichrist. In his religious capacity he will be the False Prophet. He will be indwelled by Satan. 6)- Antichrist will not be revealed until the church is raptured out: See Blog (30) ST. MALACHYS' PREDICTION OF THE SOON COMING OF CHRIST. (2 Thess.2:3-6) First comes a 'Falling Away'. We are experiencing that now as the church drifts further away from God and becomes more worldly. They don't teach much about eternal damnation for the religious, but lost, anymore. Then, the restrainer will be taken out of the way; that's the church, because (1 Thess.1:10)- Jesus delivered us from the wrath to come./ So, Antichrist can't appear until all christians are raptured out; before the Tribulation period begins. 7)- He will be a man of peace. Some will believe he is the messiah: (Dan.9:27) One of his first acts will be to covenant with the Jews for one week of yrs., and allow them to rebuild their Temple. But, in the middle of the week (3 1/2 yrs) he will enter the Temple, stop the animal sacrifices and demand to be worshipped as God. This will begin 'The Great Tribulation', and the slaughter of the 'Two Witnesses', along with their converts. See Blog (17) Two Witnesses of Revelations. 8)- The seven heads are also 7 Kings: (Rev.17:10) There are 7 Kings, 5 are fallen; Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Media/Persia, Greece. One is now, the Roman Empire. One is not yet come, the Revived Roman Empire (European Union). This was so in the first century AD, when it was written. (Rev.17:11)- After 3 Kings (Of EU 10 members with full voting rights) accept the Pope as their leader, He then becomes leader of the other 7 also. Now he is the 8th King of the EU, and the 7th head/ King among the world Kingdoms. 9)- The seven heads are also 7 Mountains (Rev.7:9): These seven mountains are the seven hills of Rome at the time of this prophecy. This is where the woman sits. The woman is a reference to the whore in (Rev.17:16) The whore is referring to the unfaithful church; The headquarters of the Catholic Church in Vatican City. 10)- The Pope is a little King of a soveriegn city: Vatican City is .7 of a sq. mile, surrounded by the city of Rome, but Rome has no authority there. The pope has no army, but much influence. He is head of the unfaithful church; but, there are christians in it that read the Bible and don't worship Mary. In (Rev.18:4)- Jesus says to the christians, "Come out of her my people". 11)- The ten Kings out of 27 members of the EU: The UK, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain & Greece; these are the member nations that have full voting rights, the others are associate members. My guess is that France, Germany and Italy will fall in behind the Antichrist who the will then become leader of the other seven countries. 12)- The Antichrist will be the first man cast into the 'Lake of Fire': (Rev.19:20)- The beast was taken, and with him the False Prophet (As I previously mentioned, the same person serving in a different capacity) ; they both were cast into the 'Lake of Fire'. 13)- The Antichrist will be the King of the North:- Muslim countries from Iran to Egypt will make up the King of the South. (Dan.11:36-45) The King of the south will push at the King of the North. This is already happening. The Muslims want to be a world power and are attacking inside of many european countries. It is Muslim 'Jihad', Islam against the world. They captured British sailors, and even with a warship at the ready, England chickened out. The world is trying to appease them, but it won't work. After they get stronger, we'll have to fight. The EU is now wanting it's own army. They will get it soon. When the church is gone and Antichrist is in control, he will attack the King of the South (Iran, the leader) and defeat them. He will also enter Israel and set up his palace. He is now worried about news from the North (Russia) and the east China). The Euphrates river (Rev.16:12) will dry up making way for the Kings of the east (Probably Russia & China, who are getting cozy now). (Rev.9:15-16)- The armies from the east (200, 000, 000 men) will cross the dried up Euphrates River. I believe that they will be coming to the 'Battle of Armageddon' to take over all the oil fields in the Middle East. 14)- Where are we now in this scenario? Keep in mind, when you read scripture, that is truth. When I or anyone else talks about and tries to interpret scripture, that is opinion. (1 John 4:1)- Try the spirits, whether they are of God, for many false prophets are gone out into the world./ We, as christians, are responsible for checking out every doctrine, to see if it's according to the Word of God. Before the Rapture takes place, I think that the European Union will have an Army. They are working on that now. I think that Jerusalem needs to be an International City. That way, the Antichrist will have the authority to give the Jews the go-ahead to rebuild their Temple. I think that the next Pope will be the Antichrist, in which case we'll be gone during the reign of Pope Benedict. According to St. Malachs' prediction, Pope Benedict is the 111th Pope since Pope Innocent 2 , in the 12th century. The 112th Pope will, "Feed his flock many tribulations and the Dreadful Judge will destroy the city (Rome) and judge the world. I would have guessed that either the next Pope, or either the one after would be Antichrist. It really looks bad in the Middle East, because Iran is near to getting the A-Bomb, or possibly the H-Bomb; then, they plan to wipe Israel off the map. Incidentally, Their maps don't have Israel on them now. After Israel, we're next. Israel doesn't plan to let this happen. Iran thinks that even if they lose 60% of their population, that would be acceptable. (2 Cor.6:2) Now is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation./ It isn't too late, yet. Con

(30) THE LAWLESS ONE (Antichrist)

(30) THE LAWLESS ONE (Antichrist)

(2 Thess. 2:3) says 'The Lawless one (Antichrist) will not be revealed until he that restrains is taken out of the way. The Christians restrain the antichrist because, (1 Thess.1:10) Jesus delivered us from the wrath to come. The antichrist cannot be revealed until we are gone with Jesus. There are christians in the Catholic church, but not because of, but in spite of the error in their teaching. In my study of prophecy, I was expecting the next Pope to be the antichrist, or possibly the one after the next.

Why do I believe a Pope will be Antichrist? The prophecy of the 7 heads & 10 horns: The 7 heads are 7 world kingdoms: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medes/Persians, Greece, Roman Empire, and the revived Roman Empire (EU). The 10 horns will be, the 10 nations of the EU (UK, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Greece) with full voting rights. The other nations are associate members. (Dan 7:7-8) A little horn (King) will root out 3 of the horns. Vatican City is a soveriegn country , 7/10 of a sq. mile. The Pope is crowned and sits on a throne. His official Title is 'Vicarius Filii Dei', 'Vicar of the Son of God'. Using Roman numerals it adds up to '666'.

The 7 Heads are also 7 Mountains (Rev.17:9) where the woman sits. The woman is described as a Prostitute, Meaning 'Unfaithful Church'. The 7 mountains is a reference to the 7 hills of Rome, where the Vatican City is.(Rev.16:18-20)- There was a great earthquake that leveled these 7 mountains and Rome was burning. If a person won't become a christian when it's very easy; what are his chances of becoming a christian when it means death at the hands of the antichrist's army. If you did become a christian, you couldn't take the ID in your hand or forehead, which means you couldn't buy or sell or hold a job. The time is short, the wise will consider what the Bible predicts, and get Saved now. Con

(29) FAITH ONLY SALVATION (GET DETAILS)

(JOHN 3:3-5)- Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. Nicodemas said , how can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God./ Here Jesus is speaking of a water baptism and a spiritual baptism. Born (Dict.) means Brought out from, brought into being or existence. There are some that think a person is born of the water when he comes out of the womb. Jesus wasn't saying anything about the first birth. Jesus said, "You must be born again. The greek word Baptizo means to dip, plunge, immerse, or wash. It was not translated into english as immerse, as it should have been. Since sprinkling was used as baptism, they deided to use a transliteration of the Greek word and coin a new english word baptism. This seemed to solve their problem. The translation has never been corrected except in commentaries. We still have a lot of dishonest religious leaders. Since baptism by water is really by immersion in the name of Jesus or in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. To be born of the water means, brought out of the water. You must be immersed to be brought out. It is symbolic of Jesus death, burial and resurrection. (Rom.6:3-7)- We are buried with Jesus by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted in a likeness of his death, we shall be also in a likeness of his resurrection. v7- For he that is dead is freed from sin./ (Acts 2:38)- Repent and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost./ Back to (John 3:5)- You must be born of the water and the Spirit. Water is symbolic cleansing. When we submit to symbolic cleansing, then Jesus does the real cleansing. (Heb.4:12)-The Word of God (Jesus) is sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow. The joints and marrow separation, I believe , Is when we get our new eternal body, the marrow and bone will be separated: We won't have marrow, we won't have blood, we won't have a digestive system. Jesus resurrected an ate fish. We will enjoy eating, but no digestive system. OK, back to separation of soul and spirit. When God created man, he said, "Let us make man in our image. God had no physical body. He was Spirit. He gave man a spirit, which gave man a higher intellect and a God conciousness. Animals only have a body and soul. When a believer is baptized in water, Jesus divides the soul from the spirit and indwells the spirit with the Holy Spirit. That is the beginning of a person's eternal life. At the Rapture (Rapture is not found in the Bible, it means 'caught up', found in 1 Thess.4:17), our eternal spirit will be joined to our eternal bodies. In Christ, Con

(28) THE MILLENIUM

At Jesus' second coming to earth, it will be during the 'Battle of Armageddon'. We as christians will come back from heaven with him. When he touches down on the Mount of Olives, right outside of Jerusalem, the Mt. of Olives will divide North and South leaving a valley from East to West. 1/3 of the Jews will escape from the Antichrist through this mountain valley. (Zech.14:4). Jesus will destroy the enemy with the sword out of his mouth, his Word. There will be a remnant of Jews and others that don't die, but will enter the millenium in their bodies of flesh. -(Zech.13:8-9) During WW 2, there were about 18 million Jews; 1/3 of them died in the Holocaust. Now, there are about 12 million Jews; if the Lord comes back soon, as I expect, 2/3 of Jews will die, leaving about 4 million of them to live on into the millenium in their bodies of flesh. They will repopulate the earth. They are the saved ones that didn't accept the Mark of the Beast (666), and will recognize their Messiah. We, who come with Jesus will have our eternal bodies. The Tribulation saints were raptured out before the 2nd coming. They were in heaven for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Israel will be laid out in horizontal strips, instead of scattered areas. 9 of the tribal territories will touch the Mediteranean Sea. The other 3 will have the 'Brook' of Egypt' connecting them to the sea. -(Eze.48) The City will be square, a little over a mile on each side. It will have 12 gates, each with the name of a tribe. Living waters will flow out from under the Temple wall. 1/2 toward the Dead sea and 1/2 toward the Mediteranean sea. They will, no doubt, flow through the valley created when Jesus set foot on the Mt. of Olives at His return. These will be healing waters. The dead sea will become fresh water, all except in the marshes by the shore. Men will fish in what was the dead sea. When the waters come out from under the Temple wall, it will be ankle deep for 1,000 cubits (1 cubit = 18") . Another 1,000 cubits and the water was to the knees. Another 1,000 cubits and the water was to the waist. Another 1,000 cubits and it was too deep to wade across. There will be trees on both sides of the river. The fruit will never fail and be for food. The leaves will be for healing. (Healing for them in bodies of flesh). (Rev.22:1)- There will be a similar river & trees in the New Jerusalem. (Isaiah 65:25)- The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock:and dust shall be the serpent's meat. We, who are christians (Luke 1:32)- He (JESUS) shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David./ During the millenium, Jesus reigns on the throne of David. We will reign with Christ. (Rev.2:26-27a)- He that overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron./ (Zech.14:16-17)- And it shall come to pass, that everyone that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. At the end of the 1,000 yr. reign of Christ on earth, Satan will be let out of the bottomless pit. I believe the bottomless pit is in the earth. There is no bottom, when you get to the center, it would be up again. He will gather the nations together to war. This leads into the 'White Throne Judgement' and a new heaven & earth. Con

(27) PRAYER AND FASTING

(Matt.27:50-51)- Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost (Spirit). And behold, the vail in the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent...../ The vail was a heavy curtain 50' tall and was torn, into two pieces, from top to bottom. Only God could do this. Only the High Priest could enter once a year to represent the people before God. The High Priest had a rope tied to his foot, so if anything happened to him, they could pull him out, because another person would die if they entered. The renting of the vail signified that now anyone could go to God directly in prayer. Jesus has gone through the vail of the flesh entering into the presence of the Father. Jesus is now our High Priest representing us. When Jesus said, "No one comes to the Father but by me, He meant 'in prayer' also. -(John 14:6) (Matt.6:9)- Jesus taught his disciples to pray, saying 'Our Father' and ending the prayer with simply 'Amen'. But, now Jesus is our High Priest and we pray to the Father, asking in Jesus name. (John 16:23-24)- And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever you ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. So many christians, pray to Jesus (Jesus, the Word of God, doesn't teach us to do this). No place in the Bible are we taught to pray to angels, saints or anyone else. Catholics pray to Mary, the mother of Jesus. It took them many centuries to decide that Mary was translated without dying. According to scripture, we must assume that she died a normal death, and is waiting in Paradise with the other saints waiting for the resurrection and an eternal body. NOTE: I will never try to belittle anyone for their Faith, but if they are really a christian , they will study God's Word; and, it will take precedence over man's opinion. God gives no one the authority to change Bible Doctrine. (1 Tim.2:5)- There is one God and one mediator between man and God, the man Jesus Christ./ Moses fasted 40 days when he was on Mt Horeb getting the 10 Commandments. Jesus fasted 40 days after His baptism and was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness. John the Baptist's disciples fasted. The pharisees fasted. Fasting is usually done in association with penitance, or fervent prayer. Jesus didn't command that we fast. It is completely voluntary and as secretly as possible. It should not be done for the eyes of men, or to seem religious. If we do things to get credit from man, that's all the reward we'll get. If God helps us to do something and we take credit, we rob God. -(Opinion)/ But, Jesus did expect us to fast. (Matt.6:16-18)- When you fast, be not as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. But, when you fast, anoint thy head, and wash thy face; that you appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father, which is in secret: and thy Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you openly./ (Matt.17:14-21)- A man had a son posessed by a Demon. He often fell into the fire, or water. The Disciples could not heal him, though they healed others. Jesus healed the boy. The Disciples asked Jesus why they couldn't cast out the evil spirit. Jesus said," because of your unbelief. This kind goes not out, but by prayer and fasting. Con
