Well no I didn’t read that but I just made a rational assumption that it’s not going to be good times :-)
from what I always understood besides a very select few it is going to be a lot of suffering.
I guess sone here are very confident that they will be the first to be taken up. I am not confident at all in that regarding me.
In fact at 52 my sins are great and pretty bad through the decades and they weigh on me now.
Some are so bad that they break my back and I wonder if they can truly be forgiven
I ask forgiveness but God will decide my fate.
Many believers have had dreams of him returning to power, and he IS said to be pulling strings in the background. He has a God complex, hates Christians and Israel, and like the Beast, has no desire for women. So he could still be in the running.
I think he has all the requirements
What we DO know is that he votes Democrap.
You know, something you said made me think: if Obama is not the Beast, maybe God is showing us that we WILL recognize when something is wrong, as opposed to the world, which includes the deceitful media, which kisses the ground that evil man walks on. I believe God will make it clear to those of us who believe.
Haman from the Book of Esther comes up really high on that historical list of people that hate the Jews.
To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable: “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed,a ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
It calls him The Beast and the Man of Perdition (he may be called the later elsewhere). You’re right that it is a spirit of antichrist, but there is a person who will rise (or may be here already) who John the Apostle called The Beast.
“What I do know about the antichrist, having woke up to this during Covid, is that he will have a much easier time than I ever would have thought.”
100% agree.
Very much so, agree.
Yeah well me and the tax collector have something in common.
I don’t look up either, like a child that has been bad and disappointed his parents and doesn’t want to look them in the eye out of embarrassment.
I will just keep praying and asking forgiveness.
And if I deserve it, to help with the feelings of guilt.
Maybe they are there for a reason.
I dunno.
I am not often on religious threads at all. I am not well versed and I figure most of the people on those threads are on the right track and i’m not lol! So I stay away.
Thanks for passing that parable on to me.
Maybe.
I don’t know about obama.
He never put together that civilian army..or did he??
Were these people destroying the country now created under his presidency and only let loose afterwards?
What else is he up to? He was behind the coup.
He’s probably not the one but i’m not crossing him off the list quite yet
His open vanity and love of the good life and praise makes me think he may not be.
I would imagine the antichrist would be smarter and keener than to show such vanities and thus give himself away
Son of Perdition. Same person. And yes, it does.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-8
Also, the beast - Revelation 19:20, 20:10
What exactly did Christ mean in Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have fore told you all things.?
The oBowel Movement is too stupid and too lazy and self aggrandizing to be the AC. He is merely a puppet, but sees himself as much more. He would be eliminated in a heartbeat by his puppeteers if it made their attack on America easier.
Remember X-Files, where the Smoking Man actually answered to others? Even Sor-Ostomy may not be the boss. Hey, I think I just coined a new term for Soros...a big, stinking artificial hole in the body.
...but if the rumors are true then the Antichrist could also be his “wife”.
Lol! He isn’t as smart as they swooningly claim, you have a point! Especially when he stutters and sounds anything but velvet-tongued. He often sounds like an idiot, and an egotistical one, at that. Then again, the Bible doesn’t specifically say the Beast is smart. He gets his power from the Dragon (the devil), not from his own power. He needs a sidekick (the False Prophet) who does a lot of the deception, too.
So, yes, we should consider him still in the running!
Well since i’m not gonna be one of the people to be spared the horrors I am fine with him coming after my death!
The Beast -— early Christians regarded as Roman Empire and Nero. If you read anything at all about Nero, you can understand why he could be called the Beast. He was a venomous predator snake in a human body.
You will never deserve His forgiveness, and neither will I or anyone else, but He gives it freely, from His grace and love for us. His lovingkindness is better than life, like the song says, so rejoice in His mercy!
