Just recently I had an amazing and important revelation on the first revealing of the antichrist! Something that we the church, will be able to unquestionably identify the antichrist, with absolute certainty! I also just wrote that there is still one more thing to be fulfilled before the Rapture, and that is the revealing of the antichrist, according to II Thess. 2:3. Which means the church WILL be able to identify him. The apostasy has already begun (one example, the Pope and other churches accept same sex couples now) but will also intensify when the one world religion takes control, and when persecution increases.
Bible teachers have been saying that the church will not see the revealing of the antichrist, which is at the signing of the seven-year peace treaty. For many years I believed that we would, as it is also the main sign of the Tribulation period starting. But they are right, we won’t see that one, as the Rapture will happen just before, maybe only fifty-seven days before? I then became confused when Dr David Jeremiah said the antichrist is revealed when the abomination that makes desolate (a statue of himself placed in the Holy of Holies, in the third Jewish temple) happens, at mid-trib. Then I realised that ALL three are true and that there are three revealing’s of the antichrist which happen at three different times. The first one being for the Christians, the last one is for the Jews.
The first time the antichrist appears is on the white horse, the first of the seven seals, in Rev. 6:2, “Whose rider carried a bow. And a crown was given him, and he rode forth conquering.” The crown indicates that he is a leader or ruler, and in Rev. 17:11 TLB we are told that he has reigned before, so we have already seen him on the world stage as a ruling president. He then goes forth conquering and gaining territory in the aftermath of turmoil, chaos, destruction and economic collapse! But what territory? How astounding the Bible is, as it tells us in Daniel 7 that in the last and final empire, ten kings will arise. It then tells us that after these ten kings are in power, a “little horn” rises up and shall put down or remove three of the ten original kings (Dan. 7:8, 20, 24).
In my book Asteroid Impact, I wrote about this on P135-137, but it was only recently, while working on a new timeline chart, that I have called, “The Beginning of Sorrows,” that I realised that these two are connected and are one and the same!
Let me explain more fully (also see chart). After the Asteroid Impact, which I believe to be the sixth seal, much chaos and destruction will obviously ensue! All of this will cause the other seals to happen, almost like a domino effect. Rev. 6 tells us that wars, famine, plague, wild beasts and persecution will be the result of the sixth seal. It is during this chaos, civil unrest and global economic collapse, that first, martial law will be put into place, to try and control the anarchy, as the rule of law will collapse. Then the one world, global government, the N.W.O. will come to power. They will divide the world into ten regions, each region will have one ruler. It will not take long for this one world global government to be set up, as everything, even now, is already in place. They are waiting in the wings so to speak! So I believe that it will happen shortly after the Asteroid Impact. It is only after these ten kings are in place that the antichrist will first appear (the “little horn”) figuratively on his white horse! He will then conquer, through war, three regions of this newly formed N.W.O. In the book I speculate as to which regions they are. The man that does this is THE ANTICHRIST. The church I believe, will go through the six seals, and will therefore see this happening and will without any shadow of doubt, be able to identify who the antichrist is, BEFORE the Rapture!
So right from the beginning the antichrist will rule three of the ten regions of the N.W.O. Later on, in mid-trib. he will control ALL ten regions, and will rule the whole world with extreme tyranny. The worst possible kind of dictator the world has ever known, making Hitler look like a mouse! At that point, in mid trib. when the third revealing happens, the Jews realise he is not who he claimed to be. He will proclaim himself to be God, and demands that everyone must worship him, or be put to death. He will also break the peace treaty with Israel and tries to annihilate them.
During this time, the antichrist will use the rapidly advancing technology of A.I. to keep track of every single human being on earth. For the sole purpose of control, dominion and enforcing his rules! Those that oppose him in the slightest way will be eliminated! He will proclaim himself to be God, but yet does not possess God’s ability to be everywhere at the same time (omnipresent). Presently he has to rely on a vast network of demonic and familiar spirits to inform him of activities. Later he will add A.I. to this infrastructure. Nor does he have the ability of knowing everything, from the end to the beginning (Isa. 41:22-26 - omniscient). He is unable to predict or foresee the future. In other words God knows the end and future events, from the beginning, long before they even happen. The Scriptures are proof of that. He even knows your thoughts before you even think them (Ps. 139)! The antichrist will have to use A.I. technology to be able to read your thoughts! Nor is he all powerful (omnipotent), having the ability to create, destroy or recreate at His choosing. Satan cannot even create an ant, never mind the infinite universe. Or the master of creation, a human being, with all his intricate and delicate details, of which NO A.I. robotic machine, no matter how advanced, can ever come anywhere close! Nor does he have the power to grant immortality to his subjects, yes they will try to imitate this using A.I. but it will not succeed!
The Bible gives us even more detail, it tells us that an assassination attempt is made on the antichrist, and that he is fatally wounded, but that he spuriously comes back to life (Rev. 13:3, 12, 14; 17:8; Zech. 11:17). But it is a fake resurrection. I have a very controversial theory on this in the book! It is possible that the image of the beast in Rev. 13, is a clone that is made of the antichrist. With today’s technology this is very feasible! Could it be that this clone simply replaces the antichrist, and no one would be any the wiser? It is also at this fake resurrection, that the antichrist's clone is transmogrified into the living incarnation of Satan. The false prophet imparts the breath of life (Satan's spirit) into this image (Rev. 13:15; 17:8). After this there is only one person who will be able to destroy this beast, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. At the end of the Tribulation, He returns with the saints and seizes him, and his cohort, and destroys the vast army gathered at Armageddon, with the sword of His mouth. The beast and the false prophet are then hurled into the lake of fire (Rev. 19:20-21).
Well I think I have given you more than enough to chew on for now? But the facts given here will clearly enable you to distinguish between the truth and the torrential flood of misinformation and deception, that is out there today! S.J.
