That there's a lot of them at the moment. That their influence is becoming more accepted. And that Christians are expecting him to be revealed soon.

That there's a lot of them at the moment. That their influence is becoming more accepted. And that Christians are expecting him to be revealed soon.

The two have little to do with each other. The Bible tells us about the anti christ spirit which is the root of all the false christs and gods in the world. The real anti christ, the devils version of messiah will be in a league all his own. The rest are amateur compared to him.

Thanks for the feedback though. I wish that you and others on this list would share your views a bit more. I keep hoping to facilitate some discussion and would love to see more opinion about anti christ.

Actually they do. It's obvious that the little boys are running around carefully setting the table so that the big guy can just slide into the chair at the head of the table when the time has come. They are all cooperating towards that goal as indicated by current world events.

Yes. You are right about that and they have always been doing it. I`ve had some conversations in the past with Preterists. They are frustrating but when I considered what they had to say I came to believe that at various times in history the table has been set and ready. The Preterist argument is interesting because one is able to see that the end of the age could have came in the first century if enough Jews had believed.

When you consider the sequence of 1st century events,what Jesus said, and what the apostles believed about the last days, it becomes apparent that the possibility of 1st century end of age had to be a real possibility. It was all part of God keeping His part of the covenant. For me it adds another dimension to the brilliance of Gods plan. When you understand what I`m trying to point out it just amazes.

To reword, what I meant was that the work of what the Bible calls the anti-christ spirit and the little anti-christs it creates is not the same thing as the literal anti-christ that is coming. Some people don`t believe in a literal anti-christ.

Some people don`t believe in a literal anti-christ.

I don't see how they couldn't believe when the bible clearly describes a man that eventually sits himself in a rebuilt temple and declares himself god.

The globalism agenda, uniting the nations under one-world governance, international connectivity, and a united world commerce system are paving the way toward that happening. When combined with the human tradition of having authority arranged in a pyramidal structure, I see the prophecy as inevitable.

Fervorforfaith has some interesting observations in his “antichrist moment” series on YouTube.

When I first read about how every eye would see the witnesses dead bodies for 3 days, I thought impossible, not going to happen. That was the 80's.

But now that webcams with live streaming have been set up everywhere in such a short time, that part of the table is set. AFAIK, this has never been possible before throughout human history. Unless one is talking about pre-flood conditions. But that is strictly speculative.

I don`t know the particulars but they would say its symbolic rather then literal.

Pope Francis Met With Instagram CEO to Discuss Power of Images

At his papal audience, Systrom brought a curated book of 10 Instagram images to further prove that point. It included images from the Nepalese earthquake and the continuing exodus of migrants and refugees from the Middle East into Europe, as well as photographs from inside North Korea and from the heart of last year’s Baltimore protests.

Instagram’s CEO and co-founder Kevin Systrom met with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Friday to discuss the power of images.

“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJV)

The audience with Pope Francis, which took place at the Apostolic Palace, is the latest move by Instagram to assert itself as the dominant platform for visual communication, with the Facebook-owned corporation saying images can “unite people across borders, cultures and generations,” it said in a statement released to TIME ahead of the meeting.

In recent months, Instagram has built up teams of curators to boost the social sharing platform’s discovery features. “We believe you can see the world happening in real time through Instagram,” Systrom told TIME in a previous interview. “And I think that’s true whether it’s Taylor Swift’s 1989 tour, which trends on Instagram all the time, or an important moment like a protest overseas, or a march like ‘Je suis Charlie’ in Paris. We want to make all of those, no matter how serious, no matter how playful, discoverable and accessible on Instagram.”

Instagram is now the photo-app for the world.
Facebook is now the social network for the world.
Youtube is now the video player of the world.

Nobody ever throws around the term monopoly though they should...

The Secular World Is Cheering For The Arrival Of The ‘Man Of Lawlessness’

Book Ends of Blasphemy and Debauchery. The Olympics featured book ends of mockery. Their opening and closing ceremonies took inclusion and DEI to new levels. There was a prayer to Zeus. A golden calf was featured. Fallen angels were celebrated. Drag queens mocked the Last Supper. Demons seemed to be center stage. Jesus was mocked and portrayed by a lesbian. Scene after scene reflected blasphemy and debauchery—with a small child observing it all.

The Secular World Is Cheering for the Arrival of the ‘Man Of Lawlessness’

A godless globalist extravaganza! Of course, I refer to the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France. Much has been written about them. They opened with a rider on a white horse seeming to announce the arrival of the Antichrist. The organizers, and not the athletes, seemed to cheer him on. Clearly, the brains behind the outfit are a bunch of one-worlders who see the world as a global entity. They see us hurtling towards a sinister agenda.

And worst of all, Olympic organizers and their creative geniuses, were Satan’s useful idiots to advertise for him and to promote his kingdom.

Back in 2021, I wrote an article titled “Anticipating the Antichrist” and how America, particularly, is preparing for his any-day-arrival. Here we are in 2024 and the world is doing that even more enthusiastically. Not believers. We’re anticipating the return of Jesus. But the secular and pagan world is cheering for the arrival of the “man of lawlessness,” (2 Thess. 2).

The Olympics featured book ends of mockery. Their opening and closing ceremonies took inclusion and DEI to new levels. There was a prayer to Zeus. A golden calf was featured. Fallen angels were celebrated. Drag queens mocked the Last Supper. Demons seemed to be center stage. Jesus was mocked and portrayed by a lesbian. Scene after scene reflected blasphemy and debauchery—with a small child observing it all.

We are in an all-out war. A spiritual war. Christians are fair game. Islam, Mohammed, and the Koran are not. But even non-Christians could not help but comment on the fact that rituals and ceremonies were suspiciously dark and even Satanic. It wasn’t subtle. It was blatant—in your face.

Are You Seeing the Pattern?

No, it was nothing new. We saw it at just some of the following:

In New York City in 2015 when the goddess Kali was displayed on the Empire State Building.
At the Gotthard Base Tunnel ceremony in Switzerland in 2016.
In the Commonwealth Games of 2022 which featured a woman riding a beast—a bull—with many bowing down before them.
In endless Grammy Award ceremonies.
In many Super Bowl half-time performances.

World Leaders: A Bridge Too Far

World leaders often mock anything to do with God but as it concerns the activity in Paris this summer, many were in unity, denouncing these godless, pagan actions. You didn’t have to be a rightwing fundamentalist, or conspiracy theorist, to say they should have pulled the plug on whoever was the creative artist.

Satan wants to be glorified, and he wants to always remind the world that his kingdom is waiting in the wings. And he’s got legions of clueless, blind people who are willing co-conspirators. They may be laughing now, but one day, they will be wailing and pleading for mercy. It will be too late.

Channeling Ancient Babylon
Darkness is loved, while light is being ardently and actively hated. It isn’t enough for people to just revel in the darkness, they want to showcase it on the world’s stage and celebrate it. Surely, ancient Babylon operated in like manner.

John 3:19-20 says, “And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.”

Satan’s Short-Lived Kingdom

This is not all bad news. It means that Satan is trying to rush his kingdom with good press releases. Here’s the good news: His kingdom is a laughing stock compared to what God has planned for those who love and serve Him in the days and years ahead. “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him” (I Corinthians 2:9).

God’s kingdom is out of this world. No words can describe it. Things are wrapping up. They’re falling into place. Be encouraged.
