The Empire of the Antichrist Is Very Near

The empire of the Antichrist is very near, and it will be Turkey.

Before we examine the issue of Turkey, we must first examine the monumental problems in much of what circulates the prophecy arena in the West.

Perhaps the major problem with modern Bible Prophecy Analysts in the U.S. is that they are mostly ahistorical who also invest in a crowd that is also ahistorical.

Another problem is that the Bible is mostly focused on the Middle East and most Western Prophecy writers have a scant understanding of the Middle East demography, sectarian rifts and religious aspirations in the region. It is not only the Prophecy analysts that always fall into this weakness, but also political and government analysts who are always screwing up more than they resolve matters.

If in doubt, just look at the results of U.S. policies in the region; Syria, Iraq, Libya and Egypt as a result of U.S. policies are all in a big mess and there is no end in the horizon for the U.S. to be able to repair the damage. While many blame Obama, I can also give several examples in which Carter messed up during the Iranian Revolution, Reagan messed up in Afghanistan (he gave stingers to the Mujahideen who later became the Taliban)....

Precisely, what we cannot know, we cannot declare.

[editor-surveyor]

>> However, Christ expressly names “The Father,” “The Son” and “The Holy Ghost.” <<

.
actually, that is not true. That was added to the verse hundreds of years later. “in my name.”

I think Antichrist is Obummer and I’m just as right as anybody else.

ANTI-Christ is mentioned in only a few places in the bible. The book of Revelation is NOT one of the places.

These are the only places that the word antichrist is mentioned.

 

 

 

1 John 2:18
  Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
 
1 John 2:22
Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist —denying the Father and the Son.
 
1 John 4:3
but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist , which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
 
2 John 1:7
I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist .
 

[Elsie]

Indeed!

There is enough vagueness in these things to pretty much insure that a person cannot be absolutely sure as to which scenario will end up being right. If any!!

[Elsie]

Absolutely right!! And here's why...

Right now; on Earth, there are TWO days being observed. It's 9:36 at night, April 8th here in central Indiana.

It's 9:36 in the morning, April 9th in Bangkok.

It is physically impossible to pinpoint the day and the hour with MORE than 24 time zones and the International Dateline coming into play.

---

Strangely, the year or the season was not mentioned...

It's the beginning of Spring here, and the beginning of Fall in New Zealand.

[Elsie]

the AC is referred to as “the man of lawlessness”.

Where?

[Elsie]

He is also described by the “number of his name.”

Where?

[Elsie]

I believe that the Bible says that if you do that your name will be added the the Book of Life and you will be saved.

Some need to put their fingers into the holes...

Exodus 32:32-33
 But now, if you will forgive their sin—but if not, please blot me out of your book that you have written.”  But the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot out of my book.

 

Daniel 12:1
 “At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.

 

 

 

Philippians 4:3
 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.

 

Revelation 3:5
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

 

Revelation 13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

 

 

 

Revelation 17:8
 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 20:11-15
"Then I saw a great White Throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and THE BOOKS WERE OPENED. Another book was opened WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE. The dead were judged according to their works as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to their works.  Then death and Hades were thrown into the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written IN THE BOOK OF LIFE, he was thrown into the lake of fire."

 

Revelation 21:27

Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Is your name written there?

[Elsie]

It’s amazing how this Rapture theory is being propagated.

Yeah; it is...

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

It appears that there WILL be a 'rapture'; it's just the TIMING of it that everyone is trying to determine.

[Elsie]

It says that they will kill us.

Born and bred in a briar patch...

[Elsie]

The verse that is mystifying to me is "not one hair on your head will be harmed".

At the rate they are going; I'll not have any to worry about anyway!!!

[Elsie]

The sheriff is a ...

[Elsie]

I agree with you 100% - he is pure evil.

[Elsie]

If there is something about it that isn’t clear, why not just ask about it instead of all the snark?

I can't WAIT until the season opens!!!

[Elsie]

Except that the ‘trinity’ is a human construct, and is nowhere to be called out in scripture.

NOW you've done it!!

[Elsie]

When was THIS 'added'...

Let US make man in OUR image.

[editor-surveyor]

Not the snipes, right?
.

[editor-surveyor]

The phrase “in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit” was coined in the 4th century. It was never uttered by Yeshua. It is as Peter stated in Acts, “in Yeshua’s name.”

We do all things in his name; the only name given whereby we can be saved.
