The Antichrist Revealed

* * * * * * *

The church world has been searching for years to find out who the personage of the antichrist is or will be. It has been suggested by many that he will have a certain nationality and a certain kingdom. That he will stand one day in a Jewish Temple and proclaim himself as God. That he will rule the whole earth and that he will unite religions as well as governments under his direction. That he confirms a covenant of peace with Israel and then makes war against her prior to the return of Christ. A lot of this false information is derived from Daniel 9:26-27. These verses in Daniel refer to the MESSIAH or the PRINCE or HE and really points to Jesus Christ and obviously not antichrist.

And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (Dan.9:26-27).

It is the position of this author that this is false and by the promotion of this type of disinformation the true antichrist has all but accomplished what satan has desired from the beginning.

The proposed time, suggested by those looking for the antichrist, is to be no greater than 7 years and as little as possibly 3 1/2 years.

It is again the position of the author that this also is to look for a period of time that is an error. The article on the Abomination will explain the time frame necessary to find out who the antichrist truly is.

What does the bible say?

Summarizing the article on the abomination we find that he does not confirm a covenant for Jesus did that when he confirmed the covenant of restoration that Father stated in the Garden of Eden.

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel (Gen.3:15).

This original Covenant of Restoration was fined tuned and added to by God over the following years as is recorded in the bible. Yet the continual theme of the covenants was always the restoration of man and the planet back to their original favor and abilities in and by God.

Christ is the one that put a stop to the necessity for ANIMAL BLOOD SACRIFICES when his own blood was shed upon a hill called Golgatha. There is no more need for animal sacrifices. Christ stopped all sacrifices and oblations. So we no longer need to look for a person to stand in a Jewish Temple proclaiming himself to be God. Christ was lifted upon a cross fulfilling that scripture often misquoted as pointing towards antichrist.

* * * * * * *

SUMMARY

  • Antichrist doesn't confirm "a" covenant Jesus confirmed "the" covenant.

  • Antichrist doesn't stop the sacrifices and oblations Jesus did this by his death.

    * * * * * * *

    Once we see that there is NO 7 years, 3 1/2 years or peace covenant to require the antichrist to fullfill we must begin to look a little deeper for who antichrist really is.

    What is another requirement for antichrist bragging rights? He must proclaim himself as God in a rebuilt Jewish Temple according to most false teachers. This requires the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple that was destroyed in 70 AD. But what does the bible actually say about the next temple?

    In that day will I raise up the Tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old; (Amos 8:11).

    Notice that it is I (God) that builds the next Tabernacle.

    ...Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord: Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne;... (Zec.6:12-13).

    Notice that it is THE BRANCH or Jesus Christ that shall build the Temple.

    When we properly understand that for the abomination of the crucifying of his Son on the cross God saw to it that Jerusalem and the sanctuary were both made desolate. We then have to realize that Christ will not have his Temple rebuilt until the 3rd day which he will oversee properly himself.

    If there is no temple which there isn't today and if there is to be no Jewish Temple rebuilt before Christ, The Branch, returns; where will a supposed individual antichrist stand to proclaim himself God? The answer is that he won't.

    * * * * * * *

    SUMMARY

  • Christ sees to the rebuilding of the Temple after he returns.

  • There will be no physical temple for an individual antichrist to stand in prior to the 2nd Advent of Christ.

    * * * * * * *

    What does the bible actually say about antichrist?

    The word antichrist is found only 4 times in the Word of God. antichrists, plural, is found only once. It is this authors understanding that when something is located just a few times or especially only once that that piece of information is rare and qualifies as gold. Antichrist and antichrists are all found in the 1st and 2nd books written by John. People have taken great liberty in John's description found in these books. They have sought to change the meanings that he already established prior to The Revelation into their own personal interpretation from his writings in The Revelation.

  • Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time (I Jo. 2:18).

  • Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son (I Jo. 2:22).

  • And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world, (I Jo.4:3).

  • For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist (II Jo.7).

    Notice how the very next verse begins by saying:

  • Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward (II Jo.8).

    John told exactly where the identity of the antichrist can be accurately and positively located. The identity is unbeliveing mankind.

    Every person that denies the Father we are told is antichrist. The Father under the title of Holy Spirit directs individuals to The Son as Savior. Every person that does not believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came in the flesh to redeem mankind is lost to continue in their fallen state of unbelief. They are antichrist.

    The unpardonable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

    Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men (Mat.12:31).

    This happens when a person calls the Holy Spirit a liar by their actions of refusing to accept Jesus as their personal savior.

    This is the primary sin that will send a person to hell. All other actions and deeds are able to be forgiven and placed in God's sea of forgetfullness never to be remembered upon accepting Jesus as God's Savior sent to this world for each person. The sin of blasphemy MUST be overcome by Christ's blood first before any other sin can be put aside thru Christ Jesus.

    Notice that when Christ returns only the False Prophet and the Beast are cast into the Lake of Fire. Only these two and no people whatsoever.

    ...These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone(Rev.19:20).

    Whenever an individual refuses to believe in Jesus as God's Savior they are actually standing in their own personal TEMPLE proclaiming themselves as God in it. They are saying by their actions I am God and need no other God.

    EVERY PERSON on planet earth that does not accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God and their savior, by their action or inaction IS ANTICHRIST .

    John knew this and told us when he stated that there are many antichrist and that they were already around in his day.

    When we look into The Revelation we see that when John references those that we call OVERCOMERS he uses the singular:

    To him that overcometh will I give...

    and it is stated 4 times as him. J0hn uses for the other 4 times he;

    He that overcometh ...

    John uses a singular pronoun, he, for the overcomers and he also uses a singular pronoun, he, for the antichrist or beast that he calls he.

    John gives us details about the he called the beast. There is a great union between the group of men called beast/antichrist. They are actually idnetified as the "synagogue of satan".

    I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are of the synagogue of Satan (Rev.2:9).

    Notice the word blasphemy connected to the synagogue of Satan. Blasphemy is the unforgivable sin. It is when people are the god of their personal temple denying the Father and the Son. They will even lie about their ungodly condition saying they believe in Father and Son when they really do not.

    Each unbeliever is antichrist.

    MORE PROOF

    Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six (Rev.13:18).

    The number of the man which is to be antichrist is found to pertain to the number 666. The Tabernacle built by Moses and the children of Israel was built at Sinai. This took place just after they had traveled from Elim to Sinai. The place between Elim and Sinai was called the Wilderness of Sin (Ex.16:1). Sin in the Garden of Eden caused Adam and Eve to be given coats of skin (Gen.3:21).

    Man is a carbon based life form as is most all life on earth. This carbon base for our flesh life is made up of 6 protons, 6 neutron and 6 electrons or 666.. The flesh of a man is made up of 666 which is the number of the man to be found to be antichrist. Once more we see that the man in sin is antichrist.

    Adam was clothed in flesh after his activity in sin done in the Garden of Eden. The children of Israel were given a Tabernacle description to build after they moved thru the Wilderness of Sin. These 2 events are similar in type and we should then be able to find the identifying 666 in the dimensions of the tabernacle just as it is hidden in the carbon life form of a man.

    And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up. The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half (Ex.36:20-21).

    The tabernacle's basic outside construction was of 48 boards. The dimensions given above for the board which the tabernacle body construction was made were 10 cubits by 1 1/2 cubits.

    10 divided by 1.5 = 6.66

    What we can see here is that the general construction of the tabernacle has within it the factor of the 666 just as the general flesh carbon base of a man does.

    * * * * * * *

    The search for a man to name as antichrist will always be accurate no matter which man is chosen as long as that individual is an unbeliever. Some thought Hitler was antichrist and he was. Some thought Nero was and they also were accurate. Some today think that President Bill Clinton is and they also are right.

    Yes when the hour, day, month and year in time is reached that the Messiah returns the person who is the head of the most powerful country upon the earth will be antichrist and so will most of his faithful citizens.

    Will he stand in a Jewish Temple and proclaim himself God? No of course not and if he did no one would follow him other than those that bring him to power by their actions or inactions. Will he believe himself to be God? Yes he will just as all do that deny the Father and the Son.

    The temples of all unbelievers need to be cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ. This is done only when Father calls a person to know his Son. That individual must recognize that they are sinners, they must repent and walk away from their old ways and they must confess with their mouth that Jesus is the Son of God who came in the flesh for them.

    Can we see any particular place in the world today which seems to be the head of antichrist power? Yes! If you would like to see how and where this great power is located a very convincing article by another person will show that the Great Seal of the United States consists of two sets of 666.

    There are those that will say that the United States is definitely not antichrist in nature. There is an interesting letter that was written by Don that I've copied concerning the 10 planks of the communist manifesto written by Karl Marx and how they are presently all part of the good life in the United States today.

    For those that continue to believe that the United States was or is run by honorable men here is more evidence to the contrary. It is an article, The Power to Destroy, at Worldnet Daily by David Frenke on Friday July 09, 1999. In it the question: Is income tax legal? is asked. The article has evidence presented by William J. Benson that suggests the 16th Amendment never was ratified.

    The greatest challenge for a believer is to not be decieved by all the twisting of words and scriptures that go on today. The greatest challenge for the unbeliever is to accept when Father speaks the name of his Son within their personal temple to bring life and light within their lives in Jesus, our soon coming Messiah.

    May God bless you in these difficult but exciting times.
