In the last days, there will be a political leader that will rise to power for Satan’s work… the leader will be under Satan’s control. The name itself, the Antichrist, tells us what he is… Antichrist is a false Christ, according to Matthew 24:24. He opposes our God.. Christ.
From the worlds perspective he will gain and have great power. Mighty.. but not by his own power. He will destroy with a single purpose and no consciousness.
As the world comes to an end, Satan needs this puppet in order to accomplish his evil purposes.
The Antichrist is given many descriptive names in the Bible including:
- The Little Horn (Dan. 7:7-28)
- The King of Fierce Countenance (Dan. 8:23-25)
- The Prince Who is to Come (Dan. 8:23-25)
- The Willful King (Dan. 11:16,36-38)
- The Man of Sin (2 Th. 2:3-4)
- The Son of Perdition (2 Th. 2:3-4)
- The Beast (Rev. 13:1-10)
I think if the average person would recognize any of those it would be the “Beast”.. and a beast he shall be; there isn’t a better description of his heart.
When the Antichrist is revealed, the stage will be set for what comes.. the terrible events of the tribulation will fall on the world… the most hellish time in all history.
There will be a great many that come before him.. and there will be many that speculate up to that day as to whom it might be. I’m afraid we won’t know until the day it’s upon us that he is revealed without question and the unstoppable events of that time are well on their way.
It is written.. all we can do is watch the events unfold and hold fast to our prayers, trust in God and rely on the Word for our guidance.
In the End, if you believe in Him with every ounce of your being, all will turn out all right.. these times will pass and you will be with Him forever and ever.
God Bless.

From my understanding Matt, the Man of Sin is none other than he who is called ‘Our Holy Father’, Head of the Christian Faith on Earth , Pontif-ex Maximus etc etc
You know who I am talking about don’t you?
Our ‘Father’ who art in Heaven
Holy is Thy name
-” and apon His Heads the Name of Blasphemy etc”
-”and I know the ‘blasphemy’ of them which say they are Jews and are not but are the Synagogue of Satan.”
The evidence points to Christendom, that which appeared ‘after’ the falling away (apostasy), that which broke up the world and by which you and I have now found ourselves living within its borders so to speak.
The RCC is a neo - judeo form of religion with similarities to Islam and Judaism - forced marriage,prayer beads,covering of women etc
It is certainly not Christian - only in name.
Hi,
I was using the forum today, as I had not been on for awhile since I first joined. I liked my experience so much that I added a link to my blogroll.
thank you,
nada
John.. thanks for your thoughts. I know you are not alone in that line of thought.
I might agree that anti-Christ could be used to describe.. but I’m not sure it’s THE Son of Perdition. At least there’s no evidence to my knowledge..
And Nada… Thanks!

Yes ! well ,after writing the above ’some’ months ago and …uhm, not getting back for some time ? sorry.
It feels strange to read some old thoughts?
I must conclude though, I am still ‘wondering’ after the beast ?!? hope that does not mean I am of the world as well as being in it ?
I still don’t agree with this papacy thing - but then there are a lot of things I do not agree with ! hope I am not being too judgemental.
thanks for replying Mat, hope you are going fine wherever you are, keep up your good works.
john
Thank you John.. Keep the faith. Keep seeking the Truth. Keep in the Word..
Wonder after Him..
God Bless,

Hello:
Thank you for letting me write in this forum.
I don’t think the Pope is the anti-christ.
I used to think possibly so years ago. I married a Catholic, became one, and we both left it
a few years later, never to return. I love
Catholics and I know some of them believe
the whole Word of God. Oh, anyway, I don’t think the Cath Church is the Great Whore in the Book of Revelation after many years of studying the Word.

I have never even considered this as a possibility??…….and I sure don’t want to.
The Holy Father was put here by Jesus Himself, “Thou art Peter and upon this rock I shall build my Church.”
I’m going to go out on a limb here as a newbie and say I’m watching Barak Obama closely. Could this just be the one?
The followers, the fainting at his gatherings…….BHO frightens me. But, if this is God’s will then we’ll be living in the beginning of the end by January of 2009 if, God forbid, he’s elected.
I just found this site while looking for something else and i thought i would make a comment. i dont really do this sort of thing so bear with me.
it is nice that everyone has there opinion, but if we are talking about the bible shouldn’t we let the bible speak, and give us the answers we seek.
all the question we have about last day events
can be answered by a close study of Daniel and revelation, these books are coded but they contain the keys to unlock each other and all of end time events.
For example in daniel 7 25
we see the words time and times and the dividing of time. now if the bible does not tell us what this means how can we figure it out. in order to unlock the code we must find the key and the key is rev 10:5 which talks about 42 months, if studied these text are speaking of the same entity. now lets do the math 42 months equals 3 and 1 half years equals time(one year), times(2years) and dividing of time(half year) which all ad up to 1260 days. now since we are talking about prophetic time we must apply the day for a year principle. a day of prophetic time equals a year num. 14 34, eze 14 6. a very important principle that must also be applied is that the jewish year had only 360 days, so each month had 30 days.
now with this information if you read and study daniel 7 25 and rev 11 5-10 which speaks of the same power(anti-christ) you see that this power would rain for 1260 years and would attack and kill God’s people.
now the question is this, is there any entity that history shows has been in power and have killed God’s people for 1260.
if you can honestly answer this question I know you will have the answer to who the anti-christ is. sorry for the length . believer 2
