Abomination of Desolation?
Here Paul expressly speaks of a “man of sin/son of perdition” who would rise to power, oppose everything that is God and exalt himself instead (as Antiochus IV did). He will even do what Antiochus previously did by going into the Jewish Temple, sit inside the Holy of Holies (possibly on the Mercy Seat on top of reconstructed Ark of the Covenant), and declare to the world that he is God. Obviously, in order for this to occur, the Jewish Temple must be rebuilt during the coming Tribulation period. Antichrist will then confirm a covenant with Israel for seven years. Neither Antiochus in 167-168 BC or Roman Emperor Vespasian in AD 70 fulfilled all aspects of this prophecy. This will be fulfilled in the future.
Focusing on Sensationalism?
People today – both within and without the Church – are so opposed to anyone who does not agree with them that the vitriol directed toward opponents is constant and visceral. What would have been unheard of to utter to someone in public is now the new normal. There is no relief in that exercised passion because people refuse to find common ground. This applies to politics as well as prophecy.
Stones of Remembrance
Just as Hezekiah had no clue how God planned to thwart the Assyrians, he only believed (based on Isaiah’s message from God), that God would somehow stand against Assyria. I’m sure God surpassed Hezekiah’s thinking in a very powerful way that it was unmistakably God’s work and left the king in absolute awe. Do you think he forgot that instance any time soon afterwards?
To Be Quite Honest…
With government agencies captured, it is very easy for them to use many illegal means to gain more power over conservatives. This is done through pressure, blackmail, lawfare and more. Few people can stand up under it. It’s really a full-on Communist takeover of America, something that Nikita Khrushchev, the ruler of the Soviet Union allegedly stated would happen to America in later days.
Where Is He?
Christians also need to start looking up to Jesus. One day, this life will be over and what we will experience following that cannot compare in any way with what we experience here (even when it is as good as it can get). Our focus should not be on the Antichrist. It should be on Jesus Christ. He is coming to this earth and is going to FIX everything. There are things we cannot fix and things He will not permanently fix until He returns.
Babylon Rising, Pt 1
Satan holds the world in his control now. Because of this, the world continues to move toward a time of unprecedented horror. What used to be hidden decades ago is now out in the open (LGBTQ, paedophilia, drag queens, etc.), and in our faces, daring us to speak against it. This tells me that the global elite have gained much and are confident they will gain more. Some of those who escaped the Illuminati aren’t convinced the elite will get everything they want, but clearly, they will get enough, according to Scripture. Babylon’s ideology, religion, politics and commerce is adamantly rising now.
Shocked to the Core!
What will the demeanor of the unsaved be as they stand before God in judgment? Will they hate God? Will they resist Him still or will the truth cause humility before Him? Will they grudgingly acknowledge Him as Lord of All?
How will understanding this subject cause Christians to be better witnesses of His love to the lost in order that their eyes might open in this life and embrace the only salvation that is available?
An Eternal Unfulfilled Longing
Consider this please. God made all of Creation including all human beings to reflect His intended purposes. He made all things for His glory, which means in part that our lives should always glorify Him in thought, word and deed. This is how we were made and this is how Adam and Eve lived until their fall. In fact, it’s how Lucifer/Satan lived until his fall as well.
Sin blinded us to the main purpose of our life here. Instead of living lives that bring glory to God continually (as authentic Christians will do in eternity with Him), sin makes us believe lies, causing us to think that God is there for us, to make our lives happy and complete. The problem is that He most certainly wants us to be fulfilled according to His will, but that only comes when we do things His way starting with receiving His salvation. Since He created us to glorify Him and we often don’t, we are ruined. We don’t glorify Him because we are blinded to the fact that this was our supreme purpose in being created in the first place.
EU’s ESG Laws and Global Demolition Part 1
However, if we go through life completely unaware of what God has personally revealed in His Word (or allegorize His text), and is designed to occur as well as what He is allowing to occur, we will simply not be prepared for those events when they start to take place. We will not have done any preparation for anything and will be forced to deal with events as they happen instead of using foresight to prepare for their arrival. It is clearly not the way Jesus expected His disciples (and us), to handle the future that He took the time to tell them (and us) about. How many times did Jesus say, “Do not be alarmed”? (Matthew 24:6).
Daniel 11 Part One
Let’s stop here and remind ourselves that all of this was completely new to the prophet Daniel because all of it was in Daniel’s near future, compared to the latter half of Daniel 11, which speaks of events that will occur at the end of this age. All of this proves that God and only God knows the future because He determines it. He doesn’t have to go against people’s free will to get His will done. All He needs to do is find someone who is predisposed to go in a certain direction and use that person to accomplish what He will accomplish.
