A wolf in "Sheeps" clothing is capable of anything as we are able to see in our own culture, let alone "Satan" who has a greater power than human beings to "deceive"

So am I to beleive that for some there will be no "DOUBT" in your mind that in our lifetime should we all see this man who fufills the prophecy of Israel and bring "PEACE"
following the commandments you will say "Messiah" has finally arrived?

Like I said if I am alive to see something like this happen, I will not give this person one ounce of creedence
until the 7 yr tribulation is over. If he is stil here doing "Good" I will say I was wrong accept G-d's punishment for worshipping "Jesus Christ" as his "Son" and ask to be part of this new convenant.

But if I am "Right" I will be so happy to know I never gave "the Anti-Christ "Satan" once ounce of G'd's perfect Love.
Would you say this is a fair assesment of the "End Times" for both of us?

I'm not sure what this "7 yr tribulation" thing is, since I am not familiar with the book of Revelation or the "Left Behind" books, but there is certainly nothing wrong with maintaining healthy skepticism until your heart has no doubts left.

The Jewish eschatology is derived from the Prophets and not from the book of Revelation. But a G-D of love and justice would not punish people who are "tricked by Satan" into keeping the commandments of the Bible.

Furthermore, humans are endowed with free will. This means that "Satan" can't force you to do anything against your will.

If he comes in my lifetime, and he observes Jewish law, and he fulfills all of the messianic prophecies of the Hebrew scriptures, then he is the messiah. If he fails to fulfil even one thing, or if he violates the law, then he will have proven himself not to be the messiah.
