I thought all Gamecock fans were in agreement that Brad Scott is the Antichrist.
If that's what you want to believe, that's up to you.
Every time we send him to Mexico he comes back through a hole in the fence.

If not he certainly is one of the Anti-Christ’s minions.
Seems like all the seals and trumpets mentioned in Revelation - in which a third of the earth’s population dies here and a third there, and the oceans and fresh water becoming spoiled, as well as widespread famine and pestilenc - all of these seem to have yet to come to pass.
I can’t think of a time in history in which a third of the earth’s population was wiped out.
But I’m open to hearing the interpretation, if I’m incorrect. Thanks.

Back at you.
And you know this how, please?
Smoke and mirrors. It isn’t really there.
Would this perchance include Dan.2:44? How so?
Interesting fantasies about history.
Not overly helpful in preparing folks for dealing with present realities regarding literal fulfillment of the
MARK OF THE BEAST prophecies.
If gullible folks are lulled into accepting the mark and end up in hell thereby, I wonder how the author will feel, then.
UNMITIGATED HOGWASH.
Worthy points, imho.
was that before, or right after the seas turned to blood, the stars fell form the sky and 2/3 of mankind was wiped from the earth?
The hisotry channe, is kinda vague about when those things happened in the past

To bring those prophecies into the modern day is completely incorrect theology
Confidently stated, but untrue. Only 69 of Daniels 70 weeks of years have passed. We still have one week of years (7 Years) left in Daniels prophecy.
Revelation tells us it contains prophecies. So to those who say the prophecy(ies) were completely fullfilled in the first century by likening it to marks on slaves I believe are wrong to their possible spiritual peril, also those who claim the mark is Sunday worship rather than Saturday worship. Some will say it is a mark placed supernaturally on one's forehead for fidelity. Others will tell you that it is your mental process and correct belief. While there may be some merit in such arguments, they are incomplete.
The entire prophecy was not fulfilled in the first century because (1) it wasn't universal to the whole world as we now know it, and (2) no marks were required universally for buying and selling. How can that possibly be reduced to allegory? Some would argue "spiritual" buying and selling, but I don't buy it in this particular application although I concede that it was used allegorically in other books of the NT by Our Lord Himself in another context.
The rudimentary structure of the beast system is upon us now in developed countries and has been evolving for some years imo. It has merely to be refined, universally integrated and will enslave those in the entire world who are living when it comes to complete fruition if they don't understand what it means and hearken to the warning.
Admittedly I don't understand all of it nor do I believe I'm meant to. Footnotes in my Douay Rheims Catholic bible say it has all been fulfilled, but there are a small minority of Catholics who believe it essentially as I have outlined even though the church is silent about it which does make me wonder why. I've got books by two Catholic priests, one bearing an imprimatur, that liken it to our times. The appendix in the other one noted development of the system at the time of publication, can dig out the titles if anyone is interested.
