... and if I knew how to insert an image I may have made my point a bit clearer I am describing the spirit of anti-Christ but the mark I tried to describe is the actual writing on the green head bandanas worn by Islamic soldiers This is the mark that I believe will be used to physically mark, set aside, the people to follow the anti-Christ. This mark ("In the name of Allah" and if I knew how to insert an image properly I would display that mark here) will be impressed on either one's forehead or one's right hand - as it is now being used to differentiate the followers of allah. This will be the mark that one has denied all other faiths, especially Jesus, and are now converts to allah and therefore will be allowed to live, to buy, to sell, to breath even.

I believe the mark of the beast is already well available/in use and has been for many many years. In understanding that the spirit of anti-Christ per the Word of God, ie, John's epistles, he tells us that the spirit of anti-Christ is one that denys that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, that He is the Son of God, that He and the Father are One. Islam is doctrinally adament about Jesus not being the Son of God in fact what is inscribed around the inside of the Dome of the rock is the Koran verse: 4:171

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8215640.stm Watch Obama call himself a Christian (as he legally, morally advocates abortion) Watch him re-commit the U.S. to dividing God's land via a two-state solution to Israel and Palestine thereby bringing our nation under judgment Joel 3:2 Then I will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; And they have divided up My land. Watch him turn away from Israel and turn towards Islam .... Genesis 12:3 And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. .. and He has the nerve to ask the Chrisians/Jewish leaders to promote his health plan as he puts our nation 180 deg in variance to God's Word Has anyone here seen the "Hamas Covenant" ?

We also need to remember that when God gave the commandments to Moses; when He wrote in Exodus 20:13: "Thou shall not murder" as it should be properly tranlated by the Hebrew word "ratsach" which means: to murder, slay premeditated accidental as avenger slayer To murder is not the same as warfare, protection type killing. Abortions are premeditated, simply put, they are against the Word of God. Also, Father God knows every single child conceived even from before the time of conception. He knows of his future suffering but He also knows of the Grace that is sufficient that He will bestow on that suffering child, born unwanted or unloved, as He knew of Saul/Paul and Jeremiah : Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."

+ just finished reading Walid's book "God's War on Terror" Everyone that studies the Bible should read it. Muslims should read it (and the Bible) to gain the truth from one who was one of their own. It's an eyeopener especially his teaching on 666. Here's where you can see Walid explain briefly 666: Edit links******* Here's a bit of teaching on it: "Allah" = 666 On the Zola Levitt program, Walid Shoebat, a former PLO terrorist now Christian evangelist, said that when he first saw the Greek symbol that is translated in the Bible as 666, he immediately read it as the Arabic character

As I am 'new' here, may I ask if anyone here has considered this verse (in addition to numerous other verses, line upon line as the Bible confirms itself, right?) for the pre-tribulation catching away of the church?: Isaiah 26:20, "come, my people, enter into your rooms and close the doors behind you; hide for a little while until the indignation runs its course." 1 Thessalonians 1:10, "who delivers us from the wrath to come."

"Matthew 24:27 "For as the lightening comes OUT OF THE EAST AND SHINES EVEN TO THE WEST; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be". The question here is "When does the lightening come out of the east and shines to the west?" The next time you are watching the TV and the weather comes on watch to see which way all weather travels and you will see that all weather travels from the west to the east." I'm not sure who posted the above but allow me to say this about that ... when King Jesus Yeshua touches His Feet down on the Mt. of Olives (which is when we return with Him), it will be reverberating all around the world ... there will be supernatural events happening, the splitting of the Mt. of Olives via an earthquake, the lightning ... events will happen that will not allow explanations in the natural.

I was supporting your statement...sorry for the confusion. Gotcha LOL, I thought I was getting spanked for something I didn't do! But you are correct as far as your last post goes. I believe many have become egotistical. Jewish persecution is just as alive today as was before. We need to know that God still loves them and considers them chosen...after all...They are His firstborn. Sadly, I have to agree with you. As persecution rises against believers of Jesus Christ it will increasingly rise against Israel, the Jews. When Ahmadinejad (who strongly denies the Holocaust) described Israel as a "disgraceful blot" and that they should be "wiped off the face of the earth" back in 2005, he raised the level of anti-semitism and is fulfilling Psalm 83:3,4 "They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones. They have said, "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more." We, as Bible-believing born again Christians, have to remember that Israel has not nor will be "forgotten" by Abba Father. Romans 11 reminds us of that specifically. Believing Jews are our brothers and sisters in Christ and of this world, they are the original "chosen".

"God's War on Terror" by Walid Shoebat Excellent book to open your eyes about Islam and their coming Mahdi. Also will enlighten your spiritual eyes as to where, and how, the anti-Christ will come from (not referring to the false-prophet who will work along with anti-Christ). Gets your thinking out of the box of "traditional" teachings re: anti-Christ and spirit of anti-Christ, especially with current events coming out of Islam & Iran. Part of Walid's biography: Born in Bethlehem of Judea, Walid's grandfather was the Muslim Mukhtar (chieftain) of Beit Sahour-Bethlehem (The Shepherd's Fields) and a friend of Haj-Ameen Al-Husseni, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and notorious friend of Adolf Hitler. Walid's great grandfather, Abdullah Ali Awad-Allah, was also a fighter and close associate of both Abdul Qader and Haj Amin Al-Husseini, who led the Palestinians against Israel. Walid lived through and witnessed Israel

Murse32 "God has not forgotten about His promise...nor will he ever replace those that He loved...We, as the church, should not be so egotistic." As I've been preparing for a bible study on "the chosen", the verses that comes to mind when I read the above is Romans 11:17-21 (NASB) 17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, {remember that} it is not you who supports the root, but the root {supports} you. 19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." 20 Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. I'd also like to pose the question that if Abba God has, or will, "forget" His promise to His original chosen nation of Israel, then what assurance do we have as the ekklesia, the called out ones, i.e. the church, that He will not "forget" His promises to us?
