Revelation speaks of the Beast so ruling, but nowhere even suggests that it will be a man. (Because it won't be.) See --

https://www.worthychristianforums.com/blogs/entry/2778-the-beast-is-not-a-seven-headed-man-part-1/

But the ultimate antichrist remains Satan, so one cannot truthfully call the Beast "the" antichrist."

Neither is it confirming this belief, which is the point of the article. Lack of evidence against is not evidence for.

 

There are spirits of the antichrist for why antichrist means "instead of Christ" or to be precise, "instead of the Son".

Your theory about the AI can very well be possessed by the spirit of the antichrist to be that antichrist. Indeed, it could very well be robotic even, for how it enters the Holy of Holies and declare himself to be "God".

Or it could very well be that they had found the Ark of the Covenant with Jesus's blood still fresh upon it, cloned it and have a clone of Jesus Christ but possessed by the spirit of the antichrist or that clone will be that false prophet that serves with that "beast".

Time will tell, but I am hoping in the Lord that I am abiding in Him & His words and that He has made me willing to go too.

The blog discussions are only to do with what the writer has written. Any difference of opinion thus needs to be on the forum or in the other person`s own blog. 

I guess I was thinking that in sharing that "opinion" for why I do not see that blog's OP as aligning, you would be able to show how the scriptures I had posted does align by rightly dividing the word of truth towards your opening post for this blog.

Anyway, next time, God be willing, I will just refer any questions and opposing views in a thread in the forum.

Hi ChristB4us,

If you want to discuss that, the forums are the place. This is just the blogs area for the person`s own view.

regards, Marilyn.

 

Okay.  You should ask Administration to closed the blog like they do threads.

I wish I can blog, but I do not see how I can.  Is it one of the staff's privileges?

I believe that "fallen Babylon" is USA and the event in Revelation 18:1-24 happens after the rapture event in verses 1-5 of Revelation 14:1-20 for when the first angel spreads the everlasting gospel to all the world in verses 6-7 so that everyone will know the gospel and cannot have an excuse for not knowing it.  

Note verse 8 by how the second angel heralds the fall of that Babylon.

8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Then the third angel announces to the world that if anyone takes the mark of the beast, they will burn in the lake of fire in verses 9-11.

These are the 3 angels that sets up the hour of temptation that shall try all remaining upon the earth as fallen Babylon USA is part of that third of the earth that gets burned up per Revelation 8:7 .  This fiery calamity on the third of the earth is what causes the New World Order to come about by implementing the mark of the beast system to survive for the rest of the world.

That is why at the end of Revelation 18th Chapter we see that the voice of the bride and the bridegroom is not heard in her any more because the rapture has come and gone and that door is shut to the Marriage Supper now, and the left behind saints are dead as found in fallen Babylon.

This is why the church at Thyatira was warned to repent of her spiritual fornication or be left behind to be judged with death in Revelation 2:18-25 and why the church at Philadelphia was exhorted to hold fast to escape that hour of temptation that shall try all remaining on the earth in Revelation 3:7-11

When you consider the merchants of the sea as standing afar off because of the plagues within her, and yet a third of the earth has been burned up, I can see why God separated the one large land mass for how the western hemisphere is 1/3rd of the earth.

The Antichrist – a term broadly used throughout the Church to describe a single man who will come to rule the whole world – is a myth based upon an old rumor.

This rumor has its first and only biblical reference in 1 John 1:18 –

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is a last hour; and as you have heard that Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is a last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us…

John never acknowledges any truth to this “as you have heard” rumor. Quite the contrary, John later provides a significantly different doctrine of antichrist:

1 John 1:18 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 am not seeing it as dispelling that truth that the antichrist shall come.  John is adding an awareness that even now, there are many antichrists for why we know it is the last time.

1 John 2:22 Who is the liar but the one [i.e. each one: see 2:18 above] denying that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either… 4:3 And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the* [spirit] of the antichrist, that you have heard is coming, and now already it is in the world.   * The Greek article to = “the” is neuter, agreeing with pneuma/spirit.

1 John 2:22-23 can be applied as towards a false prophet but 1 John 4:3 is about testing the spirits in the context of 1 John 4:1-4

1 John 4:1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

John is not talking about anyone confessing that Jesus Christ had actually come in the flesh but where Jesus Christ is presently in verse 2 which is the same as what Paul is saying in the examination of our faith of Jesus Christ is in us per 2 Corinthians 13:5 .  We can know this to be true by the following two verses.

3 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. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

To be clearer still;

Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Apply that to Azusa Street Revival, holy laughter movement, slain in the spirit, being drunk in the spirit, Pensacola Outpouring, Toronto's Blessings, and even Ernest Angeley's Healing Crusade where he announces the coming of the Holy Spirit in falling on already saved believer to make them lose self control & fall backwards to get a miracle.  That is the spirit of the antichrist which is in the world.

So tying in John's warning about those who teach otherwise in denying Jesus is the Christ; this is how they say that is the Spirit of Christ moving here of there. 

Antichrist means "instead of Christ" or to be more precise "instead of the Son".  The real indwelling Holy Spirit will always keep your eyes on the Son in worship whereas the spirits of the antichrist do not, by using their visitations of signs & lying wonders to take the believers eyes off of the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, in chasing after them to receive by a sign or miracle.

Keep your eyes on the Bridegroom for He will be coming soon & chase no more after those spirits for any filling or receiving whatsoever or risk being left behind for being out to the market.  Matthew 25:1-13

When you compare the Hebrew into English, you have to wonder where they got all those other words from in English.

So I believe as much as you seem to make a big deal out of that small word "the" as missing in the Greek as if by removing that word "the", Jesus was not existing before that first day of creation, you would be mistaken.

Wisdom comes from the Lord and so nothing is that deep for any one to not be able to fathom "God was not always God" is a heresy.  To deny the deity of the Son is to deny the deity of the Father.

1 John 2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

Sometimes, one can strain at the grammar in the Greek and Hebrew to miss the forest for all the trees.

So trust the Lord Jesus Christ in being your Good Shepherd & Friend to help you understand His words to see the truth in His words.  Trust Him that we will not be led astray by our human error rather than resume the errors of others.

Hebrews 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
