Who Is the Antichrist? (John MacArthur’s GRACE COMMUNITY CHURCH)
Grace to You - John MacArthur YouTube Channel ^ | 4 years ago (as of the posting of this article) | Grace to You - John MacArthur

Posted on 05/07/2024 11:27:33 PM PDT by SaveFerris

Another video by Pastor John MacArthur

This one from 4 years ago

It's pretty good

I do not believe that the Man of Lawlessness will be a homosexual

"The Desire of Women" is that every Jewish girl would like to have been the mother of the Messiah (some versions have such as a comment)

Now this is pre-trib - those who don't care for that will perhaps not care for this video

There has always been "the spirit of antichrist" since Jesus walked this Earth. There have been many "antichrists" (by spirit and works).

There will be a final Antichrist - the False Messiah that rules the world - along with the "religious" False Prophet

I’ve repented of my sins and I trust in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to save all mankind.

I make this post as a warning, but not an indictment. It appears John McArthur is a Freemason.

I thought the AntiChrist was Beelzebubba Clinton or the Obamanation, whoever the demoncraps run for president.

Soros is the Anti-Christ. He is doing to America what he tried to do to England with currency. He and his WEF sycophants have went full Cloward-Piven and as we can see, it is working according to plan.

He’s certainly a Globalist and apparently a Godless one too.

He was asked if he believed in God and he said no.

It appears John McArthur is a Freemason.

All I've read says that his great-grandfather was both a Mason and a pastor. Nowhere did I read that John McArthur is a mason.

An interesting, yet seldom mentioned correlation:

Jesus tells us there is one sin which is unforgiven, which is blasphemy against God's Spirit, as found in Matthew 12;31,32.

“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.”

Yet, here is an action, receiving the “mark”, which is also not forgiven. Once received, there is no hope of redemption.

Considering both facts and accepting that both are true, there must be a correlation between both actions.

Following my previous post...

I've been noodling around different theories to try to understand how the mark can permanently and irrevocably condemn the recipient.

1- The “mark” permanently and irrevocably changes the recipient.
Maybe the mark changes the recipient to some sort of human hybrid on a basic physical level in one of two ways.
1a- Genetically, whereby the recipient is no longer “in God's image”. Jesus died and rose for humans and if the genetic makeup is altered, salvation is no longer available to the altered non-human, who is no longer “in God's image”
1b- The mark is digital, transforming the recipient into a member of a digital collective (the borg) hive mind where the recipient no longer has free will and is unable to come to salvation through free will.

2- The mark is a permanent, declarative blasphemy against God, so obvious in it's declaration and pronouncement that it is completely irrevocable. This aligns perfectly with Jesus's words in Matthew 12:31,32.

After much consideration, I suspect it is the latter, but also in combination with 1a and 1b. The mark clearly contains three elements. It is voluntary (of one's own free will), it is part of the beast worship system and it is financial. I believe that the latter is merely meant to exclude those who resist and control those who accept the mark, rather than a benefit to the recipient.

...that is all

Most of the world doesn’t have a clue, and will receive the Mark of the Beast, because that’s all they know, all they’ve been told, by Godly “experts”. It is a test of loyalty.

Godly “expert”, John MacArthur, doesn’t have a clue.

I have no clue to John MacArthur being a mason or not. But I beleive he, like many well known Bible teachers, has apparently never experienced John 3:8, for he avoids it if possible. Even though Jesus insists that there IS a supernatural sign, that one HEARS, and that it happens to EVERY ONE that is born of the Spirit.

my posts were not intended to criticize MacArthur.
I haven't watched this presentation, yet, from his other lessons I've followed in the past, I have no large criticism of him and perceive him to teach a Biblically sound message..

Of course he isn't SDA, so you would, of course, naturally take issue with him as a general principle.

Predictive prophecy is like seeing dimly and open to interpretations.

With that said, I'll paraphrase what another teacher said;
“Sometimes we don't agree with everything a Bible teacher says. Like eating a watermelon, you must spit out the seeds and not simply throw away the watermelon”. HOWEVER, there are many “teachers”, “ear ticklers”, frauds, anti-christs and cult leaders who must be shunned. MacArthur isn't one of these.

Now, the wind bloweth where it listeth, and you hear the sound thereof, but you cannot tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit (Jhn 3:8).

“There is that mysterious working of God’s Spirit within our lives and we cannot fully comprehend it or understand it, we just know it. We can see the effects of it. My mother used to ask me when I was a child, “Can you see the wind?” And I said, “Oh, yes, I can see the wind.” She said, “No, you can’t.” “Oh, yes, I can, I can see it out there. Look, it’s blowing the dust.” She said, “You’re seeing the results of the wind. You don’t see the wind.” I can see the results of the Spirit. I believe it, I know that the Spirit exists. I have never seen Him, but I can feel His effect upon my life, it’s very real. I can see His effects in the lives of those around me, it is very obvious. And so are they who are born of the Spirit, there is that mystic work of God’s Spirit that I can recognize, I can feel, I can see that work of God’s Spirit within me.” (Smith C2000)

I believe the beast of Revelation is a global empire not a person.

for it is people that reject the Gospel that are not found in the Book of LIFE. (Revelation 20).

The Antichrist WILL have a global empire. He will rule over it. Having defeated 3 heads, he will rule over what remains.

The False Prophet demands and enforces the Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13)

Daniel 7:23 describes it. (his global empire)

The Antichrist and the False Prophet are both thrown into the Lake of Fire at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Revelation chapter 19). These are people - for it is people that reject the Gospel that are not found in the Book of LIFE (Revelation 20).

Now the Scripture also says there is everlasting fire for Satan and his angels. (Matthew 25:41, Revelation 20:10)

God bless

Jesus emphasized hearing the supernatural sign. Anybody can make changes in how they choose to live; even atheists can show kindness and a change in lifestyle. People make up their minds to stop drinking and smoking.

Acts shows 3 detailed accounts of people speaking tongues when receiving the Spirit. It was no accident that the first instance was accompanied by a rushing mighty wind.

That explains a lot.
