Listen
to the Prophet Daniel
Speak
about the coming of the Beast of Revelation, The Antichrist:
Out
from littleness and small beginnings one of them came forth,
A
Horn whose [impious presumption and pride]
Grew
and grew exceedingly great
Toward
the south and toward the east and toward the ornament--
The
precious, blessed land of Israel. [verse 23.]
And
[in my vision] this Horn grew great,
Even
against the Host of Heaven [God's True people, the Saints],
And
some of the Host and of the Stars [priests]
It
cast down to the ground and trampled on them,
Yes,
[this Horn] magnified itself,
Even
[matching itself] against the Prince of the Host [of Heaven];
And
from Him the Continual Burnt Offering [the
worship of God]
Was
taken away,
And
the place of god's Sanctuary was Cast Down and Profaned.
And
the Host [the chosen people] and strength
Were
given to [the Wicked Horn]
Together
with the Continual Burn Offering [the
worship of God]
BECAUSE
OF THE TRANSGRESSION [OF GOD'S PEOPLE]--
Their
abounding Irreverence, Ungodliness and lack of Piety.
AND
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH WERE CAST DOWN TO THE GROUND,
And
[the Wicked Horn] accomplished this [by Divine Permission]
And
Prospered.
Then
I heard a holy one speaking,
And
another holy one said to the one that spoke,
For
how long is the Vision concerning the Continual Offering,
THE
TRANSGRESSION THAT MAKES DESOLATE,
And
the giving over of both the Sanctuary
And
the Host [of the people] to be trampled under foot? [Luke 21:24.]
And
he said to him and to me,
For
Two thousand and Three Hundred evenings and mornings;
[Approximately
three and one-half years,
The
time of the Great Tribulation]
THEN
THE SANCTUARY SHALL BE CLEANSED AND RESTORED.
[At
the return of Christ Jesus]
(Daniel
8:9-14, AMP)
Now
let us look at the apostle Paul describe
The
coming of the Antichrist and Christ Jesus:
But
relative to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah,
And
our gathering together to [meet] Him, we beg you, brethren,
Not
to allow your minds to be quickly unsettled or disturbed
Or
kept excited or alarmed,
Whether
it be by some [pretended] revelation of [the ] Spirit
Or
by word or by letter [alleged to be] from us,
To
the effect that THE DAY OF THE LORD has already arrived and is here.
Let
no one deceive or beguile you in any way,
For
THAT DAY will not come except the APOSTASY come first--that is,
Unless
the [predicted] GREAT FALLING AWAY
Of
those who have professed to be Christians has come--
AND
THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS IS REVEALED,
Who
is the Son of Doom (of Perdition), [1 Tim.4:1; Dan. 7:25; 8:25.]
WHO
OPPOSES AND EXALTS HIMSELF SO PROUDLY AND INSOLENTLY
Against
and over ALL that is called God or that is worshiped,
[Even
to his actually] taking his Seat in the Temple of God,
Proclaiming
that he himself is God. [Dan. 11:36, 37; Ezek. 28:2.]
Do
you not recollect that when I was still with you I told you these
things?
And
now you know what is RESTRAINING HIM
[From
being revealed a this time]; [the Holy Spirit]
It
is so that he may be manifested (revealed) in his own [appointed]
time.
[God
Almighty has prepared the time for the Antichrist to be revealed]
For
the Mystery of Lawlessness—that hidden principle of Rebellion
Against
Constituted Authority [God Himself]--
Is
already at work in the World [as
Satan rules this Wicked World],
[But
it is] RESTRAINED only until HE WHO Restrains is taken out of the
way.
[Until
the Holy Spirit is removed from the Earth]
And
then the Lawless One (the Antichrist) will be Revealed
And
the Lord Jesus will Slay him with the Breath of His Mouth
And
bring him to an END by His Appearing at His Coming. [Isa. 11:4.]
And
the coming [of the Lawless One, the Antichrist]
Is
through the activity and working of Satan,
And
will be attended by Great Power
And
with all sorts of [pretended] miracles and signs and delusive
marvels--
[All
of them] LYING WONDERS--
And
by UNLIMITED SEDUCTION TO EVIL
And
with ALL WICKED DECEPTION for those who are (going to PERDITION,)
PERISHING
because they did not welcome the TRUTH
But
REFUSE TO LOVE IT that they might be Saved.
THEREFORE
GOD SENDS UPON THEM A MISLEADING INFLUENCE,
A
working of Error and a STRONG DELUSION
To
make them believe what is FALSE.
In
order that ALL may be Judged and Condemned who DID NOT BELIEVE--
Who
REFUSED to Adhere to, Trust in and Rely on—THE TRUTH,
But
[instead] took Pleasure in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.
(2
Thessalonians 2:1-12, AMP)
There,
you have a synopsis of what Scripture says
About
the Coming of the Beast of Revelation, the Antichrist
And
the APOSTASY that Precedes it.
Today,
we see America and the World, Falling Away from God and His Word;
RUSHING
toward the Revealing of the son of Satan, the Antichrist;
Every
Nation, godless, and at War against God and His Word.
It
becomes quite clear how easy it will be for the World
To
receive the Antichrist—to receive his “mark” and worship him.
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
