The Antichrist is the next one to come on scene..
Daniel 9:24-27
24 “Seventy ‘sevens’[a] are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish[b] transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.[c]
25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One,[d] the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.
26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.[e] The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood:
War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’[f] In the middle of the ‘seven’[g] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple[h] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.
Hi Tarah...please note that in the Hebrew it does not say "the Anointed One" will be cut-off. No where in all the Tanach (OT). The word "the" is not there. And there are no capital letters in Hebrew either. It should read...an anointed one will be cut-off.
Being cut-off (do a word study) is NEVER something that happens to righteous people...only wicked people.
And there will be no anti-christ. Anyone who shows up as a human being and says he is god will be considered a loon.
