Who Is the Antichrist? (John MacArthur’s GRACE COMMUNITY CHURCH)

Grace to You - John MacArthur YouTube Channel ^ | 4 years ago (as of the posting of this article) | Grace to You - John MacArthur

Another video by Pastor John MacArthur

This one from 4 years ago

It's pretty good

I do not believe that the Man of Lawlessness will be a homosexual

"The Desire of Women" is that every Jewish girl would like to have been the mother of the Messiah (some versions have such as a comment)

Now this is pre-trib - those who don't care for that will perhaps not care for this video

There has always been "the spirit of antichrist" since Jesus walked this Earth. There have been many "antichrists" (by spirit and works).

There will be a final Antichrist - the False Messiah that rules the world - along with the "religious" False Prophet

[SaveFerris]

For those interested. This video is 51 minutes in length.

God bless

There is a good case, I think, to make that the Mark of the Beast is how he enforces his definition of goodness. He does it by force, whereas God does it through love and reasoning. The Antichrist will be the one who will enforce his will through state sanctioned violence.

[SaveFerris]

To be clear, the Greek word behind “Mark” in “Mark of the Beast” is the Greek word “charagma”

This is a stamp of ownership - it will be a stamp / tattoo (for example)

It WILL be on the Right Hand OR on the Forehead of those who willingly take it. God bless.

SAVED FOR REPOSTING

The word in Revelation 13:16 for “mark” is the Greek word for a mark of ownership.

Such as a tattoo - perhaps similar to how one marks cattle by branding.

Or how Hitler’s Nazis branded Jews with tattoo numbers for identification purposes.

The word for “mark” in Revelation 13:16 is “charagma”

Greek word “charagma”:

https://biblehub.com/greek/5480.htm

Strong’s Concordance

charagma: a stamp, impress
Original Word: χάραγμα, ατος, τό
Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter
Transliteration: charagma
Phonetic Spelling: (khar’-ag-mah)
Definition: a stamp, impress
Usage: sculpture; engraving, a stamp, sign.

HELPS Word-studies

5480 xáragma – properly, an engraving (etching); (figuratively) a mark providing undeniable identification, like a symbol giving irrefutable connection between parties.

5480 /xáragma (”brand-mark”) was originally any impress on a coin or a seal, used by an engraver on a die (stamp, branding iron). 5480 (xáragma) later became “the identification-marker” (like with an owner’s unique “brand-mark”).

I’ll check it out when I get home.

I usually listen to David Paulides or Steve Isdahl on my 40 minute commute. Just fixing to leave this creepy workplace....

God Bless.

[Olog-hai]

That word is where we get the English word character. It carries a similar meaning in Greek.

[SaveFerris]

God bless you waterhill

Have a safe commute

[SaveFerris]

Thank you

I just hope people will realize that this will be literal

Every person has a hand or a forehead - if they’re alive

Most have both - and tattoos are all-too-common these days

God bless

[metmom]

So many scoffers, but what I see so often is people conflating general tribulation, trials and troubles in this life, with THE Tribulation, the time of Jacob’s Troubles, and likewise conflating antichrists, those who oppose Christ, with THE Antichrist, the Man of Lawlessness who comes to power during the Tribulation and defiles the Temple and sets himself up as God.

[metmom]

What with the surveillance state we see being implemented, the push towards a cashless society and one world currency, biochipping already being done for animals, and being pushed for children (for their own good, of course), and the technology to implement is, I don’t see how anyone can blow off the mark as anything but physical.

[SaveFerris]

Exactly.

I think people have a hard time wrapping their minds around it, when it reality, it's rather simple. The Third Angel of Revelation 14:9 warns very clearly.

Cellphone Apps, microchips may all lead to this event.

In fact I imagine that those who receive the Mark of the Beast will be using their cellphones, tablets, laptops, etc. to report those that DON'T have the Mark of the Beast.



I like how Pastor John basically said some like to romanticize the idea of going through the Tribulation, especially the Great Tribulation.

It will make Nazi Germany look like a cakewalk by comparison. And Nazi Germany was absolutely frightening in what was done to those who resisted Adolph Hitler's regime.

[SaveFerris]

Revelation 14:9-11
King James Version

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Absolutely - a very distinct difference

[SaveFerris]

I would think that COVID-19⁸⁴ would have shown MANY how QUICKLY things can change and WORLDWIDE.

The tyranny decided IF you could leave your house, IF you could shop, IF you could travel.....an excellent dry run for the Mark of the Beast. Oh, it won't happen tomorrow, of course, but only in the middle of the 7 years of 'Peace and Security' (for the thread)

God Bless You back again! I slaved it to my TV. Thank you.

I’m the weird guy in the neighborhood who doesn’t get home till way late and starts grilling fish tacos.

God Bless.

[SaveFerris]

I made my own fish tacos my way one day.

There was a combination Taco Bell and Long Jon Silver’s.

I loved it.

I got the regular Long Jon Silver’s Fish and More and put it in the taco shells from Taco Bell. Oh I ate everything, of course.

Dang. I miss that restaurant. And that job, frankly.

[waterhill]

Sandies and sweet peppers and taters and onions.

[waterhill]

A Sandie is a sand bass, but you probably know that.
For those that don’t, best eating fish in the world.
