——>To me it seems the Antichrist could come from the line of Ishmael, who represents man’s way under the power of Satan; versus God’s way through Ishmael’s half brother Isaac, whose line brought us Lord Jesus.
So you don’t believe Daniel when he says the Antichrist power (Little Horn) comes out of the 4th beast, which is ROME?
Comes out of ROME and lasts until the second coming of Jesus Christ. That is what Daniel clearly states. Do you know of any Religious/Political entity that came out of ROME that’s around even today, who persecuted the saints for 1260 years, claims to be Christ on earth, claims to be able to forgive sins, etc...?
John Darby/Hal Lindsay vs the bible. You choose.
Of course the Word is the ultimate authority. Yes the vision of little horn represents the beast coming out of Rome, under a coalition of future kingdoms. Rome would have to rise again. Who knows—it could be possible that one beast could be from the lineage of Ishmael in this new empire of Rome. Maybe not. But I don’t claim to predict the future. However God executes His plan is what I believe as it comes to pass. I just like to discuss these topics, not attack others. I fully trust the Lord Jesus Christ.
