I believe that Obama’s illegitimate presidency is a smoke screen for his master. Anti-Christ sets up a three nation power base, recreating the Holy Roman Empire and has ten allies (Horns) surrounding Israel. A U.S.A., Canada, & Mexico Commonwealth, does not meet the criteria. Obama antagonizes Israel, but Anti-Christ makes them allies, only to betray in the end. Israel will ultimately recognize Anti-Christ for who he really is (only a resurrected Adolf Hitler, not Nero fits prophecy) and will be hopelessly traumatized. It will take Christ’s return to ultimately save the remaining of the 144,000 “Old Covenant Jews”, who are still of His chosen people.
In the case of the Jews, it is not absolutely necessary for them to have accepted Christ, but to have lived their lives to the letter of the Old Covenant. Only 144,000, (evidence that living according to the “OC” and pleasing God is a very difficult endeavor), from the date of the Resurrection of Christ to the Day of the Lord will ultimately be saved.
It mentions the “beast and false prophet’ being directly thrown into the lake of fire. That’s a very direct reference to me. Revelatons mentions the “beast having been allowed to overcome and kill God’s two witnesses with the “whole world rejoicing and giving each other presents”(’till God raised them up after three days). Oh I think the antichrist is very directly mentioned!

I do take issue with that statement that the Jews following even the letter of the law without accepting Christ will be the assurance of their salvation. “Without Christ it is impossible to please God.” However, a more interesting conversation could be had concerning Messianic Jews who have currently accepted Yeshua as their savior.
Are you Jehovah’s Witness...got ‘em in my family...unfortunately.
The Jews who have chosen the Second Covenant, are covered by Christ’s blood. Christ did not live and die to replace the First Covenant, but to offer an alternative in order to encompass all peoples. If you are a Jew, I do not mean to offend, but explain the differences between the two. Both are legit. I’m just hoping that I have not started yet another chasim between fellow FRiends. Ulimately. it comes down to this, one is either a member of the “Club” or is not.
Yes, be very careful. Pride cometh before a fall and a haughty spirit before destruction.
“You can do the same with any large enough book, in any language.”
If you mean that random names or dates can be skip coded out of random places in any “large enough” book....then yeah. But if you mean that you can find the interconnected subjects of The Torah in the skip code AS WELL AS in the face Torah...then NO. No you can’t do it with any book, large enough or otherwise. FWIW the Torah isn’t a large book by any adult standard.
Sorry, but I take His words to be exactly what they are:
(4) And you know the way to where I am going.” (5) Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” (6) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
Jesus makes it very plain - eschewing parables, even - that HE is the way, not A way, THE way, to the Father.
Christ died not to “destroy the law but to fulfill the law” so that the law of God bocomes written on all hearts of flesh, not on tablets of stone. “There is no Jew nor Greek, slave or free” declared Paul.
Paul, when expounding
upon the “unknown God” on the Athens mount declared that is was the True God that men were worshiping when they paid homage to this deity, and he further went on to explain that the True God now command that all nations accept His son Jesus as the only true way to salvation.
The whole of the New Testament speaks against your assertions and I’ll bet that Messianic Jews who know the thrill of their saviour would have a few things to say as well!
Wow !!!!!
Then why isn’t the word “anti-Christ” actually used? Why isn’t the prophecy more explicit? As it is it could merely refer to the Roman Emperor, a false preacher, Satan, etc. No, this is just myth bordering on gnosticism. I believed it too, until I started reading the Bible and saw there was nothing to support it.
Definitely not, I grew up in Assemblies of God churches. I simply started reading the Bible seriously in a Bible study some years ago and was surprised to learn how much of it has been misinterpreted and how there was virtually no support for this anti-Christ figure.
The first 3 1/2 years of the Antichrist’s reign are not of Satan himself, but of his willing minion. When the Antichrist is killed and resurrected, THEN he will be indwelt by Satan.
It is correct.

Using only Easton’s 1897 Bible Dictionary, you can find it for yourself in Hebrew.
Search ‘Satan’ = Satan
Search ‘lightning’ = Barak
(unable to search ‘o’, but it is a conjunction - preposition like ‘of’ ‘from’)
Search ‘heights’ = Bamah
Now HEAR the WORD of God.
Luke 10:18
He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
HEAR Jesus say it to you “I saw falling.... Satan Barak o Bamah.”
Of course. Tell everyone. All Believers will see it immediately, but someone must tell them.
