I think you make a mistake in looking for antichrist in the form of a man. Hitler and Stalin had the spirit of antichrist. Obama has it. John promised that every spirit which does not confess (pro)Christ is antichrist. Evil is in the world and the enemies of God have been and will continue to persecute the people of God. That will doubtless intensify as we near that final glorious Day. But we KNOW how it ends!
Don't spend too much energy speculating, trying to fit world events into one possible interpretation of a heavily allegorical prophecy when you can be preparing and taking care of your family in the real world, and trusting God, and His providence. He is still and ever will be in control of it all.
AMEN! That is the strength that we have to overcome! We are to put on the full armor of God. The armor of God is the priestly garments that we have received through salvation faith in Jesus (not a Roman soldier's apparel.)
Isaiah 59:16-17 He saw that there was no man, And wondered that there was no intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; And His own righteousness, it sustained Him. 17 For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head... (emphasis mine)
1 Thessalonians 5:8-9 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ
May we offer praise to the Most High for the blessing of His glorious grace and Holy Spirit. All without Him are doomed.
Btw, thanks for the ping. :)
You said — “Any Leader in this country who would deal away our Sovereignty is a Traitor.”
It doesn’t turn out to be as simple as saying that sentence, however. Bush was trying to push this borderless entity with Canada and the U.S. and Mexico. Jerome Corsi documents what was going on with that, which is, “still on the table” ...
So, in that light, Bush should have been convicted as a traitor as that’s exactly what he was up to doing, too... That was one of a couple of things that I didn’t like about Bush, although I did vote for him both times.
It’s not as simple to follow through with what you said, as simply saying that particular sentence. We would be convicting half the Republicans in office (if not more) for that charge... :-) ...
Good cross-reference work. Thank you for that. Cling to Christ, flee to the cross.
Another study to include would be that of the Exodus. There are great parallels between the plagues detailed in Exodus and Revelation. There is also wisdom in seeing how the LORD ministered to His people and brought them out of bondage, and into freedom to worship Him.
Well, here’s the thing about that. I know that there are people actually *looking for* the Antichrist, and although I think he is a man, I’m not looking for him, because I don’t figure I’ll be here...
Thus, I’m not really *that concerned* over identifying him, like some might be. I just know that he’ll exist and he’ll be here when I’m not here... :-)
And who has more money than the Islamic oil rich nations? I believe sharia banking will become more and more prominent in the near future with a peacenik moderate muslim leader who heads it all.
Well, that’s what Walid Shoebat has been speaking about. And he has a book out documenting all of what he’s been saying. However, I’m not sold on the idea....
I’m holding off and considering it a bit longer.... :-)
Acts 1:11: "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."
BTW, thank for the post. I’ve been listening to all the other programs this evening. The one on March 7, hour 2, is especially enlightening. About the information chips and how they are going to track everyone and everything... I am switching from Google for sure.
But the upshot to all this is... THE KING IS COMING!!!!!!
That won’t last,...carrying it forward forever. Small government will come, but in what manner?
It would suck to be the generation that has no government but huge taxes. Sounds like a possibility?
You said — “It would suck to be the generation that has no government but huge taxes. Sounds like a possibility?”
Yep, exactly!
But, that’s what we all get for having to make up for all those decades of carrying forward, and then finally *paying it off*....
Someone is going to have to, or we’ll just go bankrupt and cease to exist as a country and be taken over by some other entity... who knows...
I think there will be a lot of us still around (and living) to see that...
Oh yeah, that’s a good site for listening to a whole bunch of programs. A lot of good people being interviewed over the years. There is about three or so years there...
And yeah, those RFID chips are something...
They’d be cutting their own throats. and what of the chins 700 billion in paper that they hold and the paper that japan holds. Those two could probably buy and sell the euro weenies for what their worth.
INDEED.
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
Plenty of sobering truth to your points.
As some have probably noted . . . I never, in his 8 years, knew for certain how much was what he had to do to stay alive . . . and how much he agreed with doing.
Great points.
Mercifully, no.
God promised to shorten the days else NO FLESH would be saved, at all.
7 years of THE GREAT TRIBULATION with 3.5 years of that the utter wrath of God . . . plus the years/months of the birth pangs leading up to it.
Yes, it turns out it is precisely that simple.
So, in that light, Bush should have been convicted as a traitor as that’s exactly what he was up to doing, too...
Yes, he should. Of all the things done, right or wrong in his administration, This is certainly an impeachable offense. It is traitorous as hell.
We would be convicting half the Republicans in office (if not more) for that charge...
Rightly so. And every one of them deserve it, too.
