I understand your position kaoticprophit , you (and many others) feel free to fault legitimate scholars year after year .....fine .... yet are never able to provide an accurate description of what you think will occur at the end.
I would greatly appreciate a short paragraph from you , in your own words , what you feel will take place.
It does not have to be a perfect description , just a generality in your own words .
Please do not copy and paste 10 pages of old arguments .... it has already been done to death on this forum.
I am interested in discussing these topics as wise folks trying to become wiser.
thanks.
One short paragraph doesn't do it. Look at my post and topics if you want to see what I believe.
But to make it simple.
The Antichrist will make a treaty with Israel, and will break the treaty.
Not true! There will not be a peace treaty with Israel. The word 'covenant' isn't a peace treaty it's an alliance.
The Antichrist will take away the daily animal scrificing in Israel, and will sit in a new constructed temple in Israel, and proclain that he is God.
Not true. The anti-christ will authenticate himself in the Dome of the Rock or Al'aqsa mosque. No temple needs to be rebuilt and no sacrifices need resumption only to be ended for prophecy to be fulfilled.
The Antichrist will suffer a mortal head wound, and come back to life.
True to a point I suppose. MAYBE there is some truth to that.
The Antichrist will lead the nations of "Gog" against Israel.
I'm not sure Gog is the anti-christ. He may be.
The Antichrist will go after the Christian Jews in Israel to persecute them.
He will attempt to exterminate all 'infidels' within his kingdom. And the harlot's offspring will kill many through terrorism believing they are doing God's will.
No globalism. No one world religion. And no pre-trib rapture. No micro chip. No peace treaty with Israel. No temple rebuilt. No resumption of animal sacrifices.
The idea that a temple needs to be rebuilt is a mis-translation of Daniel 9:27 and people today are actually trying to enable this prophecy.
So the Dome needs to be destroyed. A Jewish temple needs to be rebuilt. Animal sacrifices need to resume....only to have them cease!
I don't fall for it!
27 And
he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
The popular amplified interpretation of this verse goes as follows:
The antichrist will enter into a peace treaty with Israel for seven years. The peace treaty will allow him to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. In the middle of the seven years, he will put an end to Jewish worship in the temple, and will set up the abomination that causes desolation.
DAN 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:...
The word covenant is briyth ber-eeth' from 1262 (in the sense of cutting (like 1254)); a compact (because made by passing between pieces of flesh):--
confederacy, (con-)feder(-ate), covenant, league.
The word covenant means alliance or confederacy. These are always made with friends. Peace treaties are made with enemies. What is mentioned in Daniel 9:27 is not a peace treaty. It's an alliance of nations who want to destroy Israel!
The man of sin will sit in the temple of God. What is the temple of God? What is "the holy place?"
2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the
temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Temple in this verse = Strong's # 3485
1) used of the temple at Jerusalem,
2)
any heathen temple or shrine
Vine's Expository dictionary of New Testament words say's,
Shrine:
"the inmost part of a temple, a shrine," is used in the plural in Act 19:24, of the silver models of the pagan "shrine" in which the image of Diana (Greek Artemis) was preserved.
I don't believe that this temple or "holy place" as described by Jesus in Mt. 24 is the holy of holies or a Jewish temple at all.
Upon the holy place, Where Solomon's and Herod's temple stood, stands the Dome of the Rock and an Islamic complex of buildings that extend to the Al'aqsa mosque. When Christ mentioned the "the holy place" in Mathew 24 he was refering to the surrounding area of the temple which is now an Islamic holy site complex. Not the Holy of Holies. The "holy place" is the either the Dome of the Rock or Al'aqsa mosque, or the entire complex.
Arab/Islamic countries, who by the way have always been Israel's long time bitter and hateful enemy, will successfully invade Israel and re-capture the old city of East Jerusalem which is Gods only claimed piece of real estate on the planet. Muslim's will once again have complete control of the city and the Dome area. East Jerusalem will quite possibly become the capital city of the united ten nation Islamic Empire of the anti-christ, making the old city the hub of Islamic terrorism or "the whore of Babylon".
Let me put it this way to you Arnie. I'll open a can of worms.
I believe...
The
four horsemen of the Apocalypse are all Arab and Islamic and that all prophecies point to the Arab's and Islam. The first two seals have opened in the name of bin laden/Muhammad (white horse) and Hussein (red horse). At the next 9 11 the third and fourth seal happen in rapid sucession just as seal one and two passed. Babylon falls twice...
Isaiah 21:9 tells me (so far and subject to change) that the seals may pass in two's!
Isaiah 21:9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said,
Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
"When he sees riders, h
orsemen in pairs, A train of donkeys, a train of camels, Let him
pay close attention, very close attention.
"
The covenant with many....
That's either Psalm 83 or Ez. 38-39.
The beast has ten horns....My conclusion...The antichrist kingdom has ten nations. There may be more than one kingdom that emerges for dominance of the Arab Middle East to include Israel.
No temple will ever be rebuilt. The Dome complex is where the man of sin authenticates himself.
Islam is the religion of the beast
s. Catholicism and the EU will have nothing to do with this end time kingdom other than become recipients of it's abominations and become it's enemy.
Saddam...Bin Laden... could be the returning mahdi (muhammad) and dajjal who I think are the biblical false prophet and man of sin.
Assad and Ahmadinnijad could be seal three and four.
The Mid-East is in the prophecied apostasy. As dictators fall and the Islamist conspire to take over, the man of sin arrives and unifies a ten nation kingdom that appear to have only seven kings.
There could also be another beast that emerges for dominance of the region. They are both islamic and want Israel destroyed.
I think the next 911 happens around the same time the enablers of Islamic prophecy bring the Mid-East in complete chaos.
Nebuchadnezzar's yoke of Iron has not yet been broken and the seventy year captivity still has 3 1/2 years yet to be fulfilled.
Saddam believed he was the re-incarnation of Nebuchadnezzar. He is the soon to return
ASSYRIAN anti-christ.
For now...I believe that the spirit of Nebuchadnezzar will ascend from the bottomless pit in the form of the still living Saddam Hussein and possess him to fulfill these prophecies. ( 70 years and Nebu's yoke of Iron)
Now that I've opened a can of worms...
ANY QUESTIONS?
