 Zechariah 12:3
And in that
day will I
make Jerusalem a
burdensome stone for
all people:
all that burden
themselves with it shall be cut in pieces,
though all the people of the earth be gathered together
against it.
In his last days shall the most
High raise up three kingdoms, and renew many things therein,
and they shall have the dominion of the earth,
I said, Speak on, my Lord
For there shall be sedition among men, and invading one
another; they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and
the course of their actions shall stand in their power.
I said, Speak on, my Lord
Where the nations of the dragons of Arabia shall come out
with many chariots, and the multitude of them shall be
carried as the wind upon earth, that all they which hear
them may fear and tremble.
Also the Carmanians raging in wrath shall go forth as the
wild boars of the wood, and with great power shall they
come, and join battle with them, and shall waste a portion
of the land of the Assyrians.
And then shall the dragons have the upper hand, remembering
their nature; and if they shall turn themselves, conspiring
together in great power to persecute them,
I said, Speak on, my Lord

me some coffee".

hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a
little worse and sell a little cheaper".

The
book of
Revelation is possibly one of the most
neglected and at the same time one of the most
controversial books in the Bible.
The highly divergent views of writers and
preachers who interpret it, further complicates
matters
in gaining clarity about the message of
Revelation.
The fact that neither Christ nor the Antichrist are
physically present on earth, doesn’t
mean that the struggle between them is less real. All
attacks against Christ and His kingdom are instigated by
a demonic, antichristian spirit. That is the mystery of
lawlessness which is already at work. Political and
religious leaders who were notorious for the persecution
of Christians during the church dispensation all showed
themselves to be antichrists. They are forerunners who
prepared the way for the coming of the great end-time
dictator. John said:"It is the last hour; and as you
have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many
antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the
last hour"
(1 Jn. 2:18).
- The march of the Antichrist
to ultimate world domination can, therefore, be
traced back to the actions of all rebels against God
and His kingdom. They were moved by the spirit of
rebellion. However, as a physically revealed world
leader the Antichrist is strictly confined to the
end-time. There is no credibility in the historicist
view that Nero, Hitler, or any other historical
figure fulfilled all prophesies with regard to the
Antichrist. The Bible is very clear on the fact that
the true Christ will consume the Antichrist with the
breath of His mouth and destroy him with the
brightness of His coming (2 Thess. 2:8).
- We should also note that the
Antichrist will definitely be a person and
not an impersonal system. He is called the
man of sin, also the son of perdition,
and the opposer who sits in the temple
of God, showing himself that he is God. In
Revelation 19:20 it is confirmed that he will be a
living person on earth on the day of the Second
Coming of Jesus. He will, of course, have an
ideology and a system of government, but as a living
person he will be the head of the system. The
Antichrist and the false prophet will form a two-man
government in which they will establish Satan’s
authority on earth and act in terms of his wishes:
- "And the dragon gave him
his power, his throne, and great authority"
(Rev. 13:2).
“O my people, hear my word: make you ready to thy battle, and in those evils be
even as pilgrims upon
the earth.”
II Esdras 16:40
Rumors of War
II Esdras 13
48
But
those that be left behind of thy people are they that
are found within my borders.
49
Now when he destroyeth the multitude of the nations that are gathered together, he shall defend his people that remain. 550
And then shall he shew them great wonders.
