What is the Coming Tribulation All About? Part 4
Antichrist makes the covenant because of his ulterior motives. Halfway through the Tribulation period, he will completely defile the Jewish Temple (as Antiochus did in 168 BC; cf. Matthew 24), making it completely unsuitable for worship (as was the case following Antiochus’ defilement). Antichrist will do what Paul tells his Thessalonian readers (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4), “the man of lawlessness…who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.”
What is the Coming Tribulation All About? Part 2
If the brokering of a covenant between Israel and the surrounding Arab nations is the event that starts the Tribulation, we need to discuss what happens during the Tribulation and fortunately for us, the Bible has it outlined for us neatly. Though we cannot determine exactly how much time transpires between each seal, trumpet, and bowl during the Tribulation, we can generally determine the order of events.
Where Will This New Islamic Caliphate Lead?
What is interesting about the fourth empire is how it morphed over time. It began as a fairly cohesive unit, but then broke into an eastern and western “leg.” Each leg then went through several changes as we travel down to the feet and toes. All of this is a matter of history.
However, the ten kings (toes) have not come to the fore yet in all of history, so we can rightly assume that this is still yet future. Many portions of Scripture attest to this fact.
Another Dystopian But Outwardly Utopian Society in The Giver
Jona only thought his world was perfect. If it had been actually perfect, he never would have become The Giver’s apprentice because there would have been no draw for him to aspire to be the next Giver.
Will You Succumb to the Coming Great Deception? I Pet Goat, II
Obama is shown in a different light from Bush. Obama wears a mortar board and wears white gloves. The mortar board is there to give the illusion that President Obama is an intellectual, someone who is smart enough to take this country out of its economic depression. We know this is only an illusion that President Obama is far different from George W. Bush because at one point, Obama looks directly at the audience and gives a huge wink with a smile.
Will You Succumb to the Coming Great Deception? A Couple More Points
Again, what is the reason God sends the deluding influence? It is because they have absolutely no love for the truth. They prefer to believe lies. It’s ironic that people who claim to be left of center do the same thing. They prefer to believe their lies. Yet, in all biblical imagery, those on the left are the losers, not the victors. In the occult, the phrase “the left-hand path” is used to describe those who follow after Lucifer and to them this is the preferred path because by it they believe they will gain eternal life through esoteric knowledge (gnosis). Whether it’s a leftist politically or within the realm of religion, clearly, being a leftist is not the correct side. They are even referred to as “goats” by Jesus Himself.
Will You Succumb to the Coming Great Deception? Part Five
We will have the Antichrist right there! We can point to him and show how he is NOT the real deal and why his revealing is all a set up for earth! If you cannot do that – if you do not know how to tell the difference between the Antichrist and the real Christ, then you desperately need to start studying.
Will You Succumb to the Coming Great Deception? Part Four
This is exactly the way Satan works while claiming to be innocent. He does this so that we will be held accountable. That is due to his hatred of humanity. He certainly does not want us to stand before God with a legitimate excuse of not knowing what Satan was doing. He wants to ensure that we know what’s going on, even if only subconsciously. We then use our free will (such as it is) to either accept or deny the reality behind the messages.
Does the Chipotle Photo Capture the Tone of Obama’s Presidency?
The truth of the matter is that this photo of President Obama can be taken as a subtle way of telling America and the world that this is a person who finds no need to obey the laws that are in place for the common person. He is above those laws and as such, who is going to tell him that he should not be reaching over the sneeze guard? Would the manager of the Chipotle do it? Of course not. Would the workers behind the counter do it? Again, no. Would someone from a federal agency inform Mr. Obama that what he is doing is something that could contaminate the food? Nope.
Will You Succumb to the Coming Great Deception? Part Three
If the Antichrist appeared to be Jesus in the 2nd Coming and that event (though staged as it would be) was accompanied with supernaturally counterfeit signs and wonders and the delusion that God will send, who will not be taken in by that? The only people who won’t are those who make up the true Church, Christ’s Bride.
