Here’s What You’re Not Going to Do…
In the meantime, might I suggest that you simply do what you can do for yourself, leaving all the rest to God. If you have extra cash to be able to stock up on perishables (including vitamins and other supplements since they usually have a two-to-four year shelf life), then do that. If you cannot do that, do you really believe God will ignore you, not hear you and not provide for you? He knows your circumstances better than you do.
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.
Prophecy for Evangelism?
I cannot think of a better use of fulfilled prophecy than in evangelism, can you? This is why we need to study and know it as best we can. This is why we should be mentally prepared for the time when prophecy is fulfilled. The world will see the reality of the attempted attack on Israel led by Gog (a title, not a name), and the results of it. They will not understand exactly what just occurred. Christians will be on hand to explain it but I believe they will have a very short time to do so because of the rise of the physical Antichrist, who will redirect everyone’s attention to something else.
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.
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.
Daniel 12 Final Q and A
The end of the Book of Daniel provides several questions and answers. They point to the fact that Daniel simply could not grasp all that was revealed to him. However, in our day, as we are much closer to the return of Jesus physically, things are making much more sense. As the prophetic Word unfolds, it will lead us to the seven-year Tribulation ended by the physical return of Jesus, who will then judge the nations and prepare for the Millennial Kingdom.
The System
There appears to be a very intricate invisible system created by Satan to gain control of humanity and use humanity to overthrow God. This has always been Satan’s plan and I believe it’s why he first went after Adam and Eve, not only to make them fall, but to enslave them and use their progeny to attack God. Satan uses people, though he hates us with a strong passion, to do what he can to bring about a coup de gras to destroy and replace God. This is what Satan’s entire plan is all about in a nutshell. It has taken him this long to get the world to this point from the failed Tower of Babel but we appear to be here once again.
Future Shock is Here!
During C0V, when things got worse because Fauci forbid the use of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine to treat C0V (pushing Remdesivir), the blame game went into high gear there as well. It didn’t matter that many to most people who had been jabbed were the ones who were dying, not the unjabbed (though it was said then that it was the unjabbed who were dying). The blame game shined the light on the “anti-vaxxers” in society. Even if you had routine vaccines but not the C0V jab, you became labeled “anti-vaxxer.” Even now The WHO’s Tedros is ramping up anger and vilification against the so-called “anti-vaxxers.” He wants everyone to push back against those who refused the C0V jab because of the alleged problems we create in society. There are still enough critically-stunted people who will see this as a credible and necessary approach.
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?
