who is the antichrist?

Do you know why?  The Rapture has nothing to do with the Tribulation.  It is just that simple.  However, because the Rapture is IMMINENT, and because the Tribulation is not for the Church, it should be clear that there is no need to labor this point.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. Studying and reading on the subject by other scholars gets quite conflicting, especially with the translation of Hebrew words. I suppose I need to reexamine my imaginations.

Don't be deceived, the Church will go through the tribulation. We have a duty during it, and Jesus is looking for servants to make a stand in giving His Testimony against the beast.

Mark 13:9-11
9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
KJV

Those who say we have nothing to prepare for because we're going to be raptured out prior to the tribulation are leading brethren into the ditch. Jesus didn't give warning to be on 'watch' for nothing. And on the 6th Vial, in Revelation 16:15, our Lord Jesus is still warning His Church on earth to keep their garments lest they appear in shame, which means their gathering to Him had still not happened yet at that point in the Revelation timeline.

Yes, most definitely, Jesus is Immanuel, which means 'God with us' (Matt.1:23; Isaiah 7).

So who is he? What does scripture say about how he is identified?

Dear sister Ayin Jade,

 

Grace and mercy and peace from our Lord Jesus Christ.

First, we have to think:

What characterizes the Antichrist?

           Unfortunately, anyone is subject to become an antichrist (as Lucifer, who was a cherub, became devil and Satan).

To understand who is an antichrist, we need to see the basic features of it:

 

• ·        “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. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would [ no doubt ] have continued with us: but [ they went out ], that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” (1John 2.18,19).

 

I know it's hard to admit it, but unfortunately an antichrist is someone that left the evangelical fold. This is someone whose pretensions go beyond the one of the own Ha-Satan:

 

• ·        “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [ how ] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” (Isaiah 14.12-14).

 

Ha-Satan wanted to be like the Highest. However, many people want to be better than Jesus himself. Hence Jesus' warning:

 

• ·        “He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” (Matthew 12.30).

 

In other words, those who want to love your neighbor without Jesus, in fact, is trying to take his place in the minds and lives of people. Hence John said:

 

• ·        “And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 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. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.” (2John 5-9).

 

The principle of salvation says two things:

 

• ·        “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” (John 17.3)

 

It's no use just knowing the Father. Who does so commits the same error of the Jews. Want to serve the Eternal, but seeking only their interests.

Also there’s no point in just knowing Christ. Such a person, in essence, is trying to live like Him, loving your neighbor, in order to take the place of worship that is due to Christ. Who does not confess that Jesus came in the flesh, it is, deep down, saying that Jesus is only in the heaven looking at all without doing anything and that, therefore, we have to do the work of the Eternal.

Such an individual is denying the Father and the Son:

 

• ·        “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.” (1John 2.22).

 

Understand: who denies that Jesus came in the flesh is going beyond the doctrine of Christ, that is, claiming to be better than Him, to have better and more efficient designs that Him to spread the message of the gospel and express love. Such a person is looking for a better, fairer and more prosperous world, but without the Lord.

This is exactly what characterizes an antichrist:

 

•          “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 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.” (1John 4.1-3).
• “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. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error..” (1John 4.4-6).

 

Note as an antichrist is characterized by being one seeking the common good, the general good of the nation, of the world. But he makes all this with the excuse of that, although God can do something, we have to do our part.

The antichrist claims that, since Jesus never come in the flesh, He does not know what we suffer and be there in the sky just looking or acting behind the scenes. Although these individuals profess to love others and be willing to do something to improve society (as do the politicians), basically what they are doing is to deny the goodness of Christ or the power of the Eternal in order to effectively attract all zeal for them (Galatians 4:17).

It was the same mistake that Peter made:

 

• ·        “But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” (Matthew 16.23).

 

The Antichrist, the principle, is not necessarily malicious. He really wants the best for humans, but in the fleshly point of view (it’s this that characterize the lie). For this reason, it is so well accepted by all (Revelation 13.4,8). He is a promoter of peace (1 Thessalonians 5.3). But this peace is based on worldly tranquility (different from that of Christ - John 14:27).

For this reason he is so dangerous to the followers of Christ (Matthew 24.4,24). With this proposal of love and peace, added to the wonders and lying signs (those who seek to give the people what apparently is good to eat, pleasing to the eye and desirable to make one wise - Genesis 3.6; 2 Thessalonians 2.7-12), lamentably many elected will, for a few moments, to get caught by this apparent manifestation of divine spirituality.

Hence the importance of closely know the Lord and His Word, because only who IS IN Christ Jesus is that will not be confused (Romans 10:11).

Jesus have mercy on us and never let us fall into the temptation of wanting to be better than Christ or want to take the place Him in the lives of individuals.

I dont want to name names or try and guess who he is from the current world leaders. I am interested in what scripture has to say about the identity of the antichrist.

So who is he? What does scripture say about how he is identified?

Let's see the criminal record of this wretched:

PLACE OF ORIGIN (NATIONALITY)

 

•     “Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,” (Ezekiel 38.2).

 

Unfortunately it is difficult to find out precisely which country corresponds to Magogue, Meshech and Tubal. Some suspect it is Turkey, others Russia. By the way, if someone has more information about this, please inform.

BREED

He will be Jewish. After all, since the Antichrist is the one who will pretend to be the Messiah so longed for by the Jews, it is no more appropriate for him to be an Israelite of the tribe of Judah. Otherwise, the Jews would not accept him as their Messiah, since they wait that the Messiah fulfills the prophecies about him quoted in the Testament of the Law.

Moreover, see what is said about the antichrist:

 

•      “Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.” (Daniel 11.37).

 

           The ancestors of the antichrist are the people of Israel.

           See what Jesus said:

•      “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth [ it ] empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last [ state ] of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.” (Mateus 12.43-45).

 

When Jesus came into the world, He cast out unclean spirits from various people and even from Israel (and, of course, from the Church):

 

•      “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.” (John 14.30).

 

However, as Israel rejected Jesus, the cast out unclean spirit brought seven other unclean spirits worse than him, giving rise to the seven-headed beast (which will carry Jerusalem), of which the antichrist is the eighth king (Revelation 17:7,11) .

See the prophecy that is made against the king of Tire:

 

•     “Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart [ is ] lifted up, and thou hast said, I [ am ] a God, I sit [ in ] the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou [ art ] a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: behold, thou [ art ] wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: with thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: by thy great wisdom [ and ] by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of [ them that are ] slain in the midst of the seas. Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I [ am ] God? but thou [ shalt be ] a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken [ it ], saith the Lord GOD.” (Ezekiel 28.2-10).

 

Note how this king of Tire has similar characteristics to those of the antichrist: he thinks he is God (2 Thessalonians 2: 4), gets gold and silver to worship the god of fortresses (Daniel 11:38), is understood in divinations (Daniel 8:23) Which resembles the wisdom of Solomon.

But the main thing is that his condemnation was to die of the death of the uncircumcised. Therefore, this implies that such a thing was not considered normal. It is expected that he would die as a circumcised, as it is with every Jew.

Ezekiel also prophesies something about the prince of Israel and the children of Ammon:

 

•     “And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity [ shall have ] an end, thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this [ shall ] not [ be ] the same: exalt [ him that is ] low, and abase [ him that is ] high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no [ more ], until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [ him ]. And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword [ is ] drawn: for the slaughter [ it is ] furbished, to consume because of the glittering: whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of [ them that are ] slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity [ shall have ] an end.” (Ezekiel 21.25-29).

 

Note how the prince of Israel, in the time of extreme iniquity, namely, in the time of final iniquity, receives the same title from the antichrist: profane and impious prince of Israel.

And in the time of final iniquity (when Jesus is to come) Edom will also be there to help spread Israel:

 

•     “And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I [ am ] against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate. I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I [ am ] the LORD. Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed [ the blood of ] the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time [ that their ] iniquity [ had ] an end:” (Ezekiel 35.3-5).

 

YOUR POSITION AGAINST THE FAMILY

•      “Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.” (Daniel 11.37).

 

The question comes: what is the desire of women (many even make this the god of their lives)?

 

•     “Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [ shall be ] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.” (Genesis 3.16).

 

The thing the woman most wants is to be loved by Jesus through her husband and to receive in himself an expression of this love for his children. He will, however, attack the family anyway. One of them is forbidding marriage:

 

•     “Forbidding to marry, [ and commanding ] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” (1Timothy 4.1-3).

 

Another is trying to drown everyone with all moral and spiritual sewage coming from Ha-Satan from within (which reminisces, spiritually speaking, Revelation 12:15,16; 16:13). Through manipulated films, novels, and news, his mentors have been accustoming and even intimidating the mob into swallowing degrading behavior (pornography, eroticism, homosexuality, pedophilia, etc.).

Moreover, international bankers have long been buying women, convincing them to present themselves as defenders of the female class against what the Eternal established to be their desire: the husband.

With the excuse that it is to end female exploitation (by the husband), they have used the media to persuade women to leave their homes (the home of their delights) and even ridicule those who insist on dedicating themselves to the home (as if this were a crime):

 

•      “The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.” (Micah 2.9).

 

As if it were a noble thing to be equal or even better than the man, women were convinced to give up the building of their houses (the education of their children and the realization of the will of the Eternal in the life of the husband) in the hands of people who have no regard for them (ignoring that the wise woman builds her own house, not that of others - Proverbs 14:1), so that they might give in mercantile exploitation, in the hands of cruel trustees.

The precious gifts, talents, and ministries of the woman, which were to be used for the glory of the Eternal to be in the lives of their little children, are now being exploited by people whose only intention is to exploit their neighbor, sucking them to the max.

It may be right, beloved sisters, that the feminist movement is not on your side. They want you to stop being what the Eternal planned for you to be real men. The feminist movement hates both women who want to end all femininity on the planet. And this so that there is more cheap labor of exploitation for its masters (the international bankers).

YOUR RELIGION: WHAT AND WHOM SHALL HE EXALT

•      “And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge [ and ] increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.” (Daniel 11.36-39).

•     “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” (2Thessalonians 2.4).

 

He will do what he can to be the only one worthy of worship. He will not even accept that Jesus, the name used by the harlots of Revelation 17:5 to promote themselves, be exalted (even though he knew that this was how he received initial recognition by the populace):

 

•     “And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.” (Isaiah 4.1).

 

He will do everything to despise all the gods, so that he does not need anyone or anything. The point is that all of us have come in this world with nothing and full of needs precisely so that there would be no disregard for our neighbor, much less for the Eternal.

In the end, he will eventually need a strange god (the god of fortresses), being obliged to honor him with valuable and pleasing things to destroy all resistance to him. Whether he wants it or not, he will need recognition, coming to honor them, make them reign over many, and give them the land in exchange for the prize of continuing to be recognized and venerated.

All this will continue until all the indignation of the Eternal against the idolatry and prostitution of society is fulfilled, until all recognize how evil these two things are.

YOUR SOCIAL CONDITION

 

•     “Depois, se levantará em seu lugar um homem vil, ao qual não tinham dado a dignidade real; mas ele virá caladamente e tomará o reino, com intrigas.” (Daniel 11.21).

 

As you can see, he doesn’t have two nickels to rub together, a despicable person (worthy of all contempt). Someone who, at first, nobody gives anything for him. And this is so that it will be easier for the ten horns to manipulate it at will.

WHAT WILL GIVE AN OCCASION FOR THE ANTICHRIST TO RISE.

 

•     “Vi emergir do mar uma besta que tinha dez chifres e sete cabeças e, sobre os chifres, dez diademas e, sobre as cabeças, nomes de blasfêmia.” (Apocalipse 13.1 – ARA2).

 

The beast is the world system that will come to the fore through media-manipulated mob and educational system sponsored by international bankers (ten horns). That is, the beast represents the system that the people have been building under the manipulation of the ten horns and the antichrist, one of the people who has been indoctrinated by the horns to speak what the people want to hear and get them to do what the ten Horns wish.

 

YOUR PERSONALITY AND SEMBLANTE

 

•     “And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [ himself ] in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” (Daniel 8.23-25).

 

Notice how the Antichrist will be frowning (someone who does not smile), master of intrigue, cunning and clever to make the lie prosper, to the point that everyone thinks the wrong is right (and vice versa).

HOW HE WILL RISE TO POWER

•     “And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant. And after the league [ made ] with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.” (Daniel 11.21-23)
•      “And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.” (Daniel 8.23,24).
• “And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [ himself ] in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” (Daniel 8.25).
• “And he shall speak [ great ] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” (Daniel 7.25).
•      “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, [ that ] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince [ shall be ] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 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.” (Daniel 9.24-27).

 

Notice how the antichrist, in itself, has no power. He rises to power with few people (ten international bankers) through intrigues and manipulations, to the point of convincing the Jews that he is the Messiah they both expect.

It is not in vain that the mob has been accustomed to finding delight in intrigues. Note how all novels, serials, movies, and especially NEWS are full of this. More and more people have enjoyed talking badly about others, as well as hearing gossip.

Above all, he will take care of changing:

·        The times -> It is very likely that he will try to change the time:

o   Chronological -> changing the days of the week (Pope Gregory XIII, for example, suppressed ten days in the Julian calendar);

o   Natural -> making the earth spin faster (Matthew 24:22);

o   The Climate -> through technologies like HAARP, scalar weaponry, etc.

o   The Political -> removing kings, establishing laws, promoting revolution (All, of course, with the permission of the Eternal - Daniel 2:21).

·        The law -> Notice how laws have been changing. Divorce, homosexuality, abortion, etc. has been approved, diffused and even defended against those who value honor, truth and honesty.

 

After all, "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? "(Psalms 11: 3).

 

HOW HE WILL KEEP HIS POPULARITY

 

•     “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [ will let ], until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [ Even him ], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: hat they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2Thessalonians 2.7-12).
•     “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.” (Matthew 24.24).

•      “And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [ the means of ] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” (Revelation 13.13,14).

 

The antichrist will be popular because of the signs he manifests through his false prophet. In fact, this is why the Jews will make an agreement with him during the seventieth week (Daniel 9:27):

 

•      “Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:” (Matthew 12.38,39).
•      “For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:” (1Corinthians 1.22).

 

Unfortunately the people, instead of seeking the truth and the love that comes naturally with it, wants at all costs to make use of their lie, that is, to seek their peace and happiness based on their desires, ideas, plans and resources of this world.

The people will no longer be able to bear the truth (2 Timothy 4: 4), that is, nothing that is connected with Christ and His love for others. They want signs and wonders to ensure that everything and everyone will be in their power.

HIS CHARACTER

•      “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [ by ] our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for [ that day shall not come ], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” (2Thessalonians 2.1-4).

 

The antichrist is:

 

•   .     1 - Man of iniquity: to understand what is iniquity, let us remember what was done when the Eternal sent the manna to the children of Israel:

 

•      “This [ is ] the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, [ according to ] the number of your persons; take ye every man for [ them ] which [ are ] in his tents. And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. And when they did mete [ it ] with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.” (Exodus 16.16-18).
•     “But by an equality, [ that ] now at this time your abundance [ may be a supply ] for their want, that their abundance also may be [ a supply ] for your want: that there may be equality: as it is written, He that [ had gathered ] much had nothing over; and he that [ had gathered ] little had no lack.” (2Corinthians 8.14,15).

 

Notice that the Eternal, being a God of equity, gave each one exactly what he needed. Iniquity is when one decides to take what belongs to another. In this case, the other is lacking and the thief, excess. As the other needs what was stolen, he is obliged to submit to the one who stole him. This is where slavery and social inequality arise.

The antichrist is the one who encourages each to seek in the Eternal being greater and better than the others. He is the one who seeks all the wealth for himself in order to be the only inhabitant (or, at least, the sole owner) of the land (as it was in Israel - Isaiah 5:8) and enslaves others with the promise they can make the same with those who are beneath them.

 

•      2 - Son of perdition:

 

•      “The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.” (Revelation 17.8).
•      “And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.” (Revelation 17.11).

 

To understand what damnation (perdition, destruction) is, let's look at some verses:

 

•      “But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [ into ] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.” (1Timothy 6.9).
•        “( For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [ that they are ] the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end [ is ] destruction, whose God [ is their ] belly, and [ whose ] glory [ is ] in their shame, who mind earthly things. )” (Philippians 3.18,19).
•     “But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.” (Hebrews 10.39).
•     “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.” (2Peter 2.1).
•     “And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” (2Peter 2.3).
•     “But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” (2Peter 3.7).
•     “As also in all [ his ] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [ they do ] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” (2Peter 3.16).

 

As you can see, perdition is related to the distortion of the Sacred Scripture by the unconverted and unscrupulous in order to seek in Jesus material prosperity and the mental, spiritual and carnal manipulation of one another.

REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR APPEARANCE

•      “Let no man deceive you by any means: for [ that day shall not come ], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.” (2Thessalonians 2.3,5-6).

 

The antichrist has not yet appeared because the Spirit of the Eternal is preventing him from manifesting himself. However, insofar as the apostasy is taking over the world, less the Spirit of the Eternal is having place to manifest.

Soon the time will come when the Spirit of the Eternal will not be able to manifest Himself in anyone else's heart (Revelation 22:11):

 

•      Whoever is unjust and spiritually dirty will be so hard-hearted that he will no longer be able to repent and convert;
•      Who is just and holy, the only thing he will be able to do is to promote only his own spiritual growth.

 

When this day arrives, Ha-Satan will finally be able to do everything he has come to desire without restraint, for his followers will already be well defined and without any possibility of change.

 

HIS ALLIES

•      “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled..” (Revelation 17.16,17).

 

The ten horns are the international bankers who have been controlling the countries in the shadows. When the seventeenth week comes, they will come out of the shadows, take over the political power of the world, and give all their power to the antichrist.

 

HIS NAME

•      Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [ am ] against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: and I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:” (Ezekiel 39.1-2).

 

Literally speaking, the name of the antichrist is Gog (remember that English is the most widely spoken language in the world, so "Gog" in English is "Gog"). And this is not the first time this has happened. When the Eternal prophesied of Cyrus, He called him by name:

 

•     “That saith of Cyrus, [ He is ] my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.” (Isaiah 44.28).
•      “Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:” (Isaiah 45.1,2).

o

And this was fulfilled about a hundred years later:

 

•      “Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [ put it ] also in writing, saying, thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which [ is ] in Judah.” (Ezra 1.1,2).

 

Likewise, the Eternal prophesied about Josiah also about a hundred years before he was born:

 

•      “And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.” (1Kings 13.1,2).

 

And this was fulfilled literally:

 

•      “Moreover the altar that [ was ] at Bethel, [ and ] the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, [ and ] stamped [ it ] small to powder, and burned the grove. And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that [ were ] there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned [ them ] upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words. Then he said, What title [ is ] that that I see? And the men of the city told him, [ It is ] the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Bethel.” (2Kings 23.15-17).

 

HIS MARK

•      “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 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.” (Revelation 13.16-18).

 

Notice how the letters "GOG" form "666".

I dont want to name names or try and guess who he is from the current world leaders. I am interested in what scripture has to say about the identity of the antichrist.

So who is he? What does scripture say about how he is identified?

Shalom, ayin jade.

Wrong term. To answer your question literally, it is whoever doesn't believe that Yeshua` is the Messiah of God. These are the ONLY instances of the term in the Scriptures:

1 John 2:18-25
18 Little children, it is the last time (Greek: eschatee hoora = "[a] final hour"): and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time ("a final hour").
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
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 (Yeshua`) is the Christ (the Messiah)? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) 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.
KJV

1 John 4:1-3
1 Beloved, 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:
3 And every spirit (attitude) that confesseth (assents/agrees) not that Jesus Christ (Yeshua` the Messiah) is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit (attitude) of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
KJV

2 John 5-7
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ (Yeshua` the Messiah) is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
KJV

Okay, so this is NOT about the "final human enemy"; however, it IS very important! One must first understand what a "Messiah" is, and THEN one must admit that Yeshua` literally came in the flesh and was GOD'S "Messiah."

I'm going to leave it at that for now.
