If he is the anti christ he seems to be a mighty lame and impotent one.
Indeed.
Not only that there are several things missing:
He’s going to declare himself to be God, and device the whole world, there’s also the false prophet which works signs and miracles, and as someone pointed out there’s the beast as well.
The problem I have with Revelation is that a lot of things don’t make sense to me, there are various ways to look at it that all make sense like the bowels/trumpets/seals these could all be happening in parallel but as a book it would have to describe them in series, and what about the angle standing with one foot on the sea and one on the earth declaring that there “shall be time no more”... I can’t wrap my head around that, existence-of-self w/o time.
{Though I can reason that God is outside of time, because if he created everything then because time can be viewed as the change of objects in relation to each other, time couldn’t have existed before space.}
I agree. However, I ran across info on this before the election and looked up the hebrew english translation myself on the internet. It is a strange coincidence to have this in Luke and repeated again in Matthew. Where do you think the word abomination came from. Just a coincidence too I guess. Read Matthew 24-30.
