Well, the first Beast of Revelation 13 is synonymous with AntiChrist, right? Yet Scripture says a beast is a kingdom, which means the Antichrist is a kingdom...this rules out Satan, a man like Nikolai Carpathia, a supercomputer, etc.
“These great beasts, which are four, are four kings (a “king” without a “kingdom” is no king at all).
“The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom”.
There is only one human, that is the false prophet. The beast out of the land, the pit, is Satan, looks like a peaceful being, but speaks like a dragon, is the dragon. The image is Satan's false Christ, the ultimate Antichrist. The image is in human form, that of the false prophet, but is not human. It is AI brought to life, because Satan is allowed to breath life into this being, in human form. The Antichrist is mechanical, not a biological being. It is an abomination, because it is Satan's creation. It is not of God. It is the solution to God's punishment on Adam and his descendants, that is work and labor. Humanist have been writing about this blessing/curse and how it is assimilated into economy for over 100 years. It is not siri, but it is interesting how this programmed AI, has introduced the point of not having to make decisions much. It learns our habits and is used to make predictions. Those who become reliant on AI, will be ready for this abomination. I doubt siri, is a deception, but it is the psychological programming that is disturbing. If this is a sign to run to the hills and mountains, one may want to take siri, so she can keep you updated as things progress.No, the 1st beast of Rev.13 is a beast kingdom, not a person. We know this because that 1st beast has ten horns (which are 10 kings), and seven heads (which are seven mountains), and ten crowns (which are ten powers, the ten kings have).
But the 2nd beast of Rev.13:11 forward IS THE ANTICHRIST, a person, the beast king.
Those who don't understand this simple difference from Scripture show they don't know what the idea of "antichrist" is about that Apostle John proclaimed. The Antichrist is a person, not a kingdom nor just an evil force.
John alludes to Daniel's beast. But even Daniel in chapter 11 narrowed the kingdoms down to one particular king. John says this king is the false prophet. I am just being obedient in pointing out the witness of John.@Davy @Timtofly and others... Taking a beast which throughout the rest of scripture is a symbol of a nation or empire, and changing the entire prophetic view in one example to an individual is directly akin to changing God's prophetic order. It's like Nebuchadnezzar building a statue to represent himself in Daniel 3 in order to change God's order of s succession of empires in chapter 2.
It can't be done and you are living very dangerously by doing so.
yikes, could you just pls tell us where your temple is, that we might go and worship you keraz, tyI posted the Bible truth about the USA in #19.
i dunno, great way to expose the witches and warlocks here maybe?For me, one of the problems with this "Topic" is the title. We asked what the future is for the U.S., without having assessed ANY Bible Prophecy. It's all speculation based upon supposition.
Maybe people PREFER not to know what the future actually holds, but it's creating a shortage of sand.

And I gotta laugh at people ...
...
The United States of America, is a land of many rivers, is the modern policeman of the world and is now a Babylon type nation. These tall and smooth skinned people challenge God with laws that refute the Commandments and atheist teaching, such as evolution. They are strong and aggressive and their power is feared by every nation of the world.
God is watching them and at the right time, He will open His armry and destroy their strength by His terrible judgement of fire. The whole country will become virtually depopulated and the survivors will bring tribute to the Lord, in Jerusalem.
... Taking a beast which throughout the rest of scripture is a symbol of a nation or empire ...
Again, a "beast" is not an individual...yet time after time, students of prophecy continue to ignore this and insist that the various beasts are individuals.The first beast is a system(political)ie OWO,2nd beast is satan himself .The part you missing is that satan is all of them,depending on what role he's playing
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 [shall come]."
This "beast" was in the Garden of Eden deceiving [beguiling] Eve; he is not here now, for he is in heaven accusing the saints before the throne of God, now. He [Satan] will ascend out of the bottomless pit, as we saw in Revelation 9:1, and 2, and "he will go to perdition", following the judgment at the end of the Millennium kingdom age. Friend, "he" spoken of here, is Satan, and don't let any one tell you any different. Satan is the "son of perdition" as recorded in II Thessalonians 2:1-4, and he will be the first Christ to come at the end of this earth age.
"Perdition" means to "perish", and only Satan has had that sentence passed on him at this time. We are told that those "whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world", [that first earth age], will wonder, or follow after Satan. They fell in the first earth age, and they will also fall in this earth age. Those of who were chosen in that first earth age stood against Satan then, and they will also stand now. They are God's elect.
When the last of the elect, and the 144,000 of Israel are sealed, then Satan will arrive as the Antichrist. This age is a repeat of the first earth age. Now, what about the other Christians? They will follow false doctrine, and go into Satan's camp. The deception will cover the whole earth, yet the truth is in your hands to forewarn those around you in this generation.
There will be no equal to the deceptions that are going to come, in the history of all mankind. Yet the sermons of today are full of nonsense, with no sense of urgency given even as this great hour of deception is at our doorstep. The Church sleeps, while the Kenites steal the sheep.
... the First Beast is the Papacy which arose "out of the sea" ("amidst zillions of people) and the Second Beast is the United States, which arose "out of the Earth" (amidst an almost empty land) and would go on to become the only remaining superpower with a Military Industrial Complex capable of forcing China, North Korea, Russia, etc. into doing whatever the U.S. wants...it arose when the 1,260 year reign of the First Beast had come to an end with the Papal "deadly wound" in 1798.
Only to someone who is hallucinating.We're already some 26 months into the 42 month Tribulation. It should be OBVIOUS by now ...
Only to someone who is hallucinating.
But we don't hear much about LSD or Psilocybin these days.
That "other source" is my own blog.You refer me to another source? You have nothing, yourself? -- Yeah I already surmised.
Bobby Jo
OK, so I went there and have the following questions:That "other source" is my own blog.
Your questions did not arise from that post I referred you to. That blog-post Counterfeit Christianity? was about a specific perspective of Revelation 13... The comparison between the sea beast, the land beast, and the dragon with those characteristics pertaining to the ministry and work of the Godhead. Now either you didn't read it and your questions above came from a parallel universe, or what I wrote went way over your head and you didn't want to reason with something you couldn't understand, so you're diverting the topic. I'm not buying.OK, so I went there and have the following questions:
1. Why does Rev. 12 say SEVEN Diadems, and why does the number "contradict" Rev. 13, -- i.e., what happened?
2. Why does Rev. 13 say TEN Diadems, and why does the number "contradict" Rev. 12, -- i.e., what happened?
3. Who are the SEVEN HEADS -- by name?
4. Who are the TEN HORNS -- by name?
5. Which Horn is mortally wounded -- by name?
6. What/who is the BEAST -- by name/entity (and PLEASE don't say "satan")?
7. What/who is the FALSE PROPHET -- by name and by calculating his name (and PLEASE don't say "satan")?
8. If you assume the 42 months is "HALF THE TRIBULATION", then are the Daniel 9 "weeks" in the Concise Feminine Gender text (i.e., 70 = 490) or in the UNUSUAL (only found in Daniel 9, and no where else in Scripture, including Daniel 10) Masculine Gender text (i.e., 70 ≠ 490)?
9. Why is the Lion the Mouth?
10. Why is the Leopard (actually a TIGER) the Body?
11. Why is the Bear the Feet?
12. Why do you post what we can already read in Scripture, and ignore all the specifics required to PROPERLY assess the full INTERPRETATION of the depictions? (It's a rhetorical question, which I already know the answer to.)
-- I wouldn't ask if I already didn't know all the above.
Bobby Jo
Yeah, SUPERNATURAL IMAGINATION.
More SUPERNATURAL RUBBISH.

In the same way healthy food is absolutely revolting to a junk food junkie, so is the case when Jesuit Futurists encounter the truth of Historicism..don't waste your money at the hardware store, but rather "buy the truth and sell it not."WANT TO BUY: Hip Waders, and a set of nose plugs -- because it's awfully deep and it stinks.
More anti-catholic rhetoric nonsense from people whose wives could make millions of dollars if they'd package and sell the fertilizer that comes out of their husbands mouths. -- $500 a TON x 20 Tons per day x 200 working days/year = $2 Million/year
