Why Its Going To Be So Compelling For The World To Worship The Antichrist
Harbingers Daily ^ | 2/16/24 | Skip Heitzig

Posted on 02/17/2024 10:27:19 AM PST by Roman_War_Criminal

The Bible predicts there is a false Christ coming. In 1 John 2:18, he is called the Antichrist. Many typically think the Antichrist is somebody who’s against Jesus. But the prefix anti- can just as easily mean instead of. It seems from Scripture that this Antichrist will pose as a substitute Christ—and it’s quite possible he is alive at this moment.

Now, I’d much rather talk about Jesus Christ than the Antichrist. But in studying this person, it just makes Jesus even more wonderful. Here’s a quick comparison between the two: the Antichrist is called “the man of sin” (2 Thessalonians 2:3), whereas Jesus is the sinless man. In the Old Testament, the Antichrist is called “the idol shepherd” (Zechariah 11:17, KJV); in John 10, Jesus called Himself “the good shepherd” (v. 11).

The Antichrist is depicted in Revelation 13:1 as a beast. And throughout the book, Jesus is referred to as the Lamb. Do you want to follow a beast, or do you want to follow the Lamb? The Antichrist’s supposed death (see Revelation 13:3) will be meant to deceive people; Jesus Christ’s death was to save people. Vastly different.

And here’s a haunting verse about the Antichrist: “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8). Listen, it’s going to be so compelling for the world to worship the Antichrist. The Bible says, “God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie” (2 Thessalonians 2:11).

If you are reading this as an unbeliever and you’re thinking you’ll avoid the tribulation by buying gold and guns and living out in the wild rather than accepting Christ, remember that verse says, “All…will worship him whose names have not been written in the Book of Life” (Revelation 13:8).

But Christ offers to write your name in that Book. He told believers, “When these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28). And that thought continues in verse 36, “Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things.” That escape is what we call the rapture.

Is your name written in the Book of Life? I don’t want my name in lights; I want it in the Lamb’s Book of Life. And if yours is not there, or if you’re not sure, be sure today. Make the decision to follow Christ. Don’t wait another day or another week. Say yes to Jesus now.

With recent world events, we can see how things can quickly turn so people feel there’s no way out. They are perplexed and confused. They need an answer so much that they would be ready to believe any government, official, or anyone who could promise and produce a level of anxiety-free, peaceful living.

So, we need to ready our hearts not only for what is coming, but especially for what will come to everyone unless Jesus comes back for us soon: death.

The Word says, “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). If you have not made that commitment yet or if you’ve wandered away from intimacy and closeness with God, remember that He seeks to satisfy the deepest needs of every longing heart. If you haven’t given your life to Jesus yet, I’m begging you, do it now.

it will be SO easy to follow the crowd and worship this being who will “save” the world from some catastrophe. It will be SO hard to not follow this being with angel like appearance saying all of the right things. Your family will disown you. Your pastor/priest will expel you. And everyone will turn you into the authorities for rehabilitation. You will not be able to buy or sell. if not outright killed by the authorities, you’ll likely starve or die of exposure from the elements.

Can an agnostic be terrified of the delusion? I do happen to think so. And I do think it is their fear that is the telltale sign of how that delusion will take shape.

I am not sure what I find more terrifying, the delusion as he points it out or the fact that he acknowledges and still doesn’t have a come to Jesus moment.

Terrifying. This Changes EVERYTHING. MY REACTION to What They’re Planning.

The ‘instead’ of Jesus is none other than Satan the devil... Satan was in the Garden of God, (Eden) called the Serpent, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ... In Revelation 12 ... the dragon, the destroyer gets tossed out of heaven to play woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants on this earth ...

Who tempted Christ twisting the Scripture ... Was Christ tempted ??? NO ... but the majority of the inhabitants on this earth will be ... because they do not know who the ‘instead’ of Jesus literally is coming to fly away the souls...

[[The Bible says, “God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie” (2 Thessalonians 2:11).]]

He may have already started with the Delusions as many beleive in the blatant lies of “Supposed ‘man-caused’ Climate Change”, TRansgenderism- Multiple myriad genders, and are accepting the liberal lie that children belong to the state- not to parents-

I believe one of he huge delusion driven lies in the end times will be “Just come down to (some place set up by a one world government as a ‘refuge’ to those on the run), and you can buy and sell whatever you want, have all the electricity you want, all the nice warm heat you want, all the food you can desire- no restrictions... Just sign on the dotted line and bow down, and all your desires and needs will be met- Experience no more restrictions on carbon producing items- no more fines and regulations and carbon credits charged to your account- No more rejection at supermarkets for not having the mark- You can buy and sell to your heart’s content”

To the family who is starving because they can not buy food- who is freezing to death in the winter, who hasn’t got any gasoline to get to and from places of business- etc- whose family is on the brink of death, it will be very tempting to head on down to the “City of peace and prosperity” set up by world leaders-

Climate Change with all it’s fines regulations, credits, costs etc will drive many people to bankruptcy and desperation especially when they can’t buy and sell essential needs-

The anti Christ is thought to be the same as the second messiah awaited by Chabad Lubovitch and Bibi...

This is why the far right in Israel were trying to change it from a secular state to a monarchy.

Read the book - False Christ.

Everything is tied together...the war in Ukraine, Argentina, the tunnels they were trying to build at Chabad headquarters, the war in Israel to prepare for the coming messiah, the attempted change in Israel to remove the power of the judiciary.

The Kushners are Chabad Lubovitch. So is Bibi.
Google for a Chabad house near you. They are everywhere.
Sitting US presidents honor their first messiah every year on 4/11.

Jewish supremacists working to bring in their second messiah, whom many say has the same name as the antichrist.
Putin recently fired someone for speaking out about them.

There is nothing we can do to stop what is coming.
Be prepared to die for Christ.

Christ said there would be wars and rumors of wars, but that is not the end... Opposite of war is ‘peace’, ‘peace’, ‘peace’, but there is no ‘peace’. A pretty boy, Hollywood hunk, supernatural peace maker is going to be dumped out of heaven to right down in the midst of Jerusalem proper.

All but the elect will worship him. So it is Written.

When he owns the food supply you “will bow down and worship the golden idol...”

Remember how the Egyptians sold their lands and livestock to Pharaoh, with Joseph as the purchasing agent, during the 7 year famine?

Why?

God gives them over to depraved minds. Jesus is in charge. Even of those who will be lost.
