Limited Rule Of Anti-Christ

[Guest TaBiblia]

LIMITED RULE OF ANTICHRIST

In Spite Of Traditional Teaching, He Will Not Rule The Entire World As We Know It

Simply because a dictator makes a law for the people of his kingdom does not mean that he will enforce it on everyone. He will not completely enforce it in his own kingdom, as proven many times in scripture, and there is certainly no reason to believe that he will enforce such a law upon people he has no control over.

The Rule of Anti-christ will be limited to the ten nations out of the old Roman empire which will give their power to him. This area is limited to the NORTHERN PART OF AFRICA, SOUTHERN EUROPE, and WESTERN ASIA. From this area ten kings "which have received no kingdom as yet" will receive power as kings under the Anti-christ. (Dan, 7:23,24)

It is in this area, and this area alone, that Antichrist will have his kingdom. To teach anything else is to leave countless scriptures without any explanation.

The very idea that anti-christ will be able to be at war all of the time he is in power and still accomplish more in 42 months than the Holy Spirit, the Church, and Christ Himself, has done in 2000 years is ludicrous. As is sometimes the case now, there will be thousands of people in remote areas of the world that will not even know these events are taking place.

This is a fact which will be true about the battle of Armageddon as well. Even during the time of the millennium it will be necessary for Jewish missionaries to go out from Jerusalem to inform the world that Christ has come and set up His kingdom. (Isa. 2:2-4; 40:9; 52:7; 61:6; 66:18-21; and Zech. 8:23; 14:16-21)

After such a major event as Armageddon it is clear that millions will not even know about it. It should be obvious that the coming of Anti-christ and all that he does will not get more attention than Christ Himself who comes and defeats him in one day.

You will notice, in scriptures given in the complete study, that even the tribulations do not concern the entire world as believed by most christians today. As you read those passages, you will be asked to consider the Greek definition of the word "earth". It means, soil, by extent. a region, the solid part or the whole of the terene globe, (including the occupants in each application): country, earth (ly), ground, land, world.

The Bible is specific about the ten kingdoms of Antichrist. It is also clear that it is from within the old Roman empire that they will be formed. Therefore, it is clear that the definition of the word "earth" in these passages should be understood as "region" and not the entire world as we know it. If you interchange the word "earth" in these passages to "region" you will not be in error and will get a better understanding of their meaning.

Oy Vey! Here goes TaBiblia on a tangent from the true scriptures again. I haven't read a post of his yet that has any semblance to the scriptures.

Rev 13:11-18

11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. 13 And he performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. 15 And there was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast might even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead, 17 and he provides that no one should be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

NASB

The context of this whole scripture is talking about the entire earth, and not just 10 nations. Yes, we do have to consider these things for ourselves (if we are still here).

Ta Biblia is getting this from the DAKES ANNOTATED REFERENCE BIBLE. The idea of a preadamite race, the earth being billions of years old, the antichrist's reign being limited is from that ref Bible. The problem here is that Ta Biblia is qouting Dake verbatim and not crediting the source. You need to do this. Just come clean and tell us that you are getting this directly from Dake.

Of course the very word 'antichrist' NEVER EVEN OCCURS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION! This is strictly man-made interpretation and 'best guess' work....

Dan 7:23 "Thus, he said: 'As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces.'"

I will agree, the mark will not be world wide. God showed me this many years ago. There are many end time scriptures we are wrong on.

Dan 7:23 "Thus, he said: 'As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces.'"

There are many examples where the word all, every, whole, earth etc. does not mean the entire planet.

One example is Daniel 2:39

And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

Regardless of which kingdom you believe is the third kingdom, it did not rule the whole earth! 

There are many other examples.  Over 100 in all.

First of all, in those days, the majority of earth's populace was in that continent and it could be said that it was everyone. I am not naive enough to believe that some people are not going to have to make a decision for God. Nobody here on earth will escape that choice at some point in their lives, and when satan starts the mark, he isn't about to let anyone get away without being given a choice on it. He wants blood, and he wants it from every soul on earth.
