The Antichrist
Who Is The Antichrist?
Major religions are currently anticipating the appearance of their “savior,” variously called, “Messiah,” “Jesus Christ,” “the Twelfth Mahdi,” “the Fifth Buddha,” or “the Tenth Avatar.” Within ecumenical circles, there is a growing awareness that one single man might actually fulfill all these religions’ expectations. A one-size-fits-all messiah would bring all the world’s religions together.
Christianity
If you consider the broadest definition of Christianity, not all of the approximately 2.1 billion Christians anticipate the arrival of Jesus Christ as Messiah. The Catholic Church, as well as some Orthodox groups, does not emphasize the return of Jesus Christ.
Islam
Many of approximately 1.5 billion Muslims believe that the Twelfth Mahdi will be a descendant of Mohammed and that he will precede the coming of Jesus Christ. He will face his own “antichrist,” convert the world to Islam, and bring forth peace and justice out of a season of injustice and chaos. He will be preceded by a “deputy,” who will prepare the way for him. The President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has aspirations to be the next Mahdi. There is evidence that some Muslim powers actually want international chaos to escalate so that the Imam Mahdi will appear.
Hinduism
Most of world’s 900 million Hindus look for the Tenth Avatar – Kalki. Many Hindus believe Vishnu is the creator who dwells within each person’s soul and incarnates himself in the form of an Avatar whenever his presence is needed. The Tenth Avatar will be the last and will reign for over 400,000 years. He is to liberate the world from suffering and enlighten all mankind.
Buddhism
Buddha taught that Buddhism would almost perish from the earth because the world would abandon moral conduct and become amoral, but then a new Buddha, a Maitreya would appear. He will achieve complete enlightenment, and teach the pure dharma – “the way of the higher truths.” He is predicted to be a “world-ruler,” uniting those who he rules over.
Judaism
Many of the roughly 14 million Jews long for Messiah, the Anointed King. They look for him to restore the Davidic Kingdom, rebuild the temple, re-gather a prosperous Israel and defeat her enemies, and bring peace to the world.
Luciferianism/New World Order
For the United Nations Interfaithism movement and many new age, ecumenical groups, there is a rising expectation of a universal messiah. The Lucis Trust, once called the Lucifer Foundation, has heavily influenced the United Nations from its founding. At its roots are occult secret societies such as Freemasons, Wicca, and the Order of the Golden Dawn. Robert Muller and Maurice Strong, influential in the founding of the United Nations, are adept new age advocates who tirelessly promote the blending of all religious faiths.
The “Son of Perdition”
Advocates of the New World Order will attempt to fulfill the world’s messianic expectations with one man. Christians call him the Antichrist. II Thessalonians 2:3-4 tells us that the Day of Christ will not come until “the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,” commonly called the Antichrist. He will sit in the Temple in Jerusalem and demand to be worshipped as God. He is also called “the beast,” in the Book of Revelation. This tyrannical world dictator, empowered by Satan and the embodiment of all that is opposed to God, will be defeated by Christ at His Second Coming (II Thessalonians 2:8).
The Real Christ
After terminating the reign of the Antichrist, the real Christ will establish His kingdom on earth, a kingdom that will never pass away.
“…and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever” Revelation 11:15
Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ Our Lord! <
thank you for this oppurtunity for study of the Word! Your show has been a true blessing and I pray for your ministry everyday that the Lord will use it in a mighty way!
may God bless you for such a wonderful revelations.
I used to be a catholic but I am not sure which kind of catholic Irvin Baxter is referring to that they don’t talk about Jesus return . This is a lie against the catholic and if Irvin does not apologize to Catholics before he dies, he knows what awaits those who bear false witness against others. The catholic recites the apostles creed which states Jesus return. During their blessing of their communion, which by the way is done in their every service , they always say ” we comemorate your death and your resurrection, oh Christ, till you come again” . So, Irvin, I think Catholics remember Jesus return more than you. You need repentance.
lol I’m not catholic anymore, I am LDS, but I do think it is wrong how Christians are bickering at one another by lying and so on. I know Jesus’ return is taught in all Christian Doctoiran (sorry for my poor spelling) Anyway, I look forward to seeing how things in the world play out. I can’t wait till Jesus comes.
True
The above statement that the Catholic Church as well as some Orthodox groups, not emphasizing the return of Jesus Christ is a lie. Every time we go to Mass we (Catholic Christians) recite the Nicene Creed:
… He (Jesus) ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. …” For the record, the word Antichrist is not mentioned once in the Book of Revelation and the apostate teaching on The Rapture is not found in the Bible at all! The teaching on the Rapture was started in Scotland in the 1800s. It never existed before that. The fact is, Irvin Baxter and like minded “Doom and Gloom” and “End of Times” cults wouldn’t recognize Orthodox Christianity if it hit him right between the eyes!
The word “Antichrist” does not appear in Revelation, however, the Antichrist is certainly mentioned. He is called the beast in Revelation 13. We know this is the Antichrist from the context of this chapter. The word “rapture” is also not found in the Bible but it is taught. What mainstream Christianity refers to as the rapture the Bible calls the first resurrection in Revelation 20:4-6, the catching up in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, and the gathering together in Matthew 24:29-31 and 2 Thessalonians 2:1. So these teachings are definitely scriptural.
Which beast are you referring to in Revelation 13, the beast from the sea or the earth? I understand the beast from the sea as representing the Roman Empire and Emperor Nero and the beast from the land refers to the cult of worshipping the Roman Emperor. The second beast received it’s authority from the first beast. To get to the point, the Book of Revelation is a book that was written in the 1st century for the 1st century Church. They would have understood John to be writing about Emperor Nero who was persecuting the Church in the 1st century. And he was a beast, he was ruthless. They would not have understood this as some futuristic 21st Century event. This is describing a past event, the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in AD 70. As far as the rapture is concerned, I’m not interested in what John Darby wrote in the 1820s and 1830s. He was a disillusioned Anglican priest who created his own ideology. I don’t believe him because the teaching comes from his interpretation of scripture. It is a man-made teaching. It was not a teaching by the apostles or the Church they founded, the Catholic Church. But if you want to put your faith in a teaching that is less than 200 years old, written by a disillusioned man and ignore the apostolic teachings of the past 2,000 years, then be my guest.
The beast from the sea represents the world government but the term beast is also used to speak of the Antichrist. As you agree it speaks of a government and the ruler of that government. Revelation 1:19 shows that John was to write the things he had seen, the things which were, and the things which would be hereafter. John begins to write the things which would be hereafter in Revelation 4. So John was not writing those things to the churches of Asia Minor. John was recording future events. Regardless if you subscribe to the late date or early date for the writing of Revelation the prophecies are not applicable to 70 AD. John’s writings culminated at the second coming of Jesus Christ. So if you believe Nero was the beast then Nero could have only ruled for 42 months as Revelation 13:5 states. We learn in Daniel 7 that the Lord returns after the reign of the Antichrist. We also learn that once He returns He establishes His kingdom on the earth for 1,000 years. After this Satan is loosed for a short time, causes men to come against God in battle, and God consumes the earth in fire. Finally the great white throne of judgment occurs and we go into eternity. So if we are currently living in eternity then I would agree with you but we most certainly are not.
I do not embrace the teachings of John Darby either but rather the teachings of Paul. Paul looked forward to the resurrection more than anyone us in the Bible. He spoke of it numerous times. You can refer to Romans 8:11, Philippians 3:7-14, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, and 1 Corinthians 15. God bless.
I agree that John wrote about things he had seen, the things which were, and the things which would be hereafter. The second coming of Jesus Christ did happen when he returned to Jerusalem in AD 70 and destroyed it. This was the official end of the Old Covenant and ushered in the the current era of the New Covenant. I do believe that at the of this age Jesus will come again. God bless you as well.
I read recent remarks about the Mark of the Beast. In the Army, Let’s just say God spoke to some Christians about the RFID chip, going into people’s skins, like dogs & cats. Looks like a mark in the skin. If this IS or similar or close to the “mark” found in hand or forehead. They’re Testing it. We are real close. Only a matter of time.
I heard about this “chip” when I was a child. I’m now a grown woman…. and its freaky to think that something like this exsists.
What do you mean when you say that the Catholic Church does not emphasize the return of Jesus Christ?
why have you not included the great whore of revelation? the roman catholic church? a glaring omission.
Is it true that now in America,one cannot open an account without having the mark of the beast{666}?
This is not true. The mark of the beast does not yet exist at this time.
hmm, now that the Pope has been elected, where does this put us? I don’t think he’s going to be our last Pope, for his name certainly doesn’t start with a Peter…or does that really matter? I wonder also, if the Pope has nothing to do with anything YET…until the Antichrist comes…I will know that we are definately in the throes of the end times when I see the actual plans of the temple being implimented…also, I’m very interested in seeing what Obama has up his sleeve with Israel, and the peace progress…if he can pull that one off, that’ll be something to sit up and pay attention too…as well as I feel that we are on the brink of ww3..what with North Korea rattling it’s sabre, and Iran with a ‘year’ away from a nuclear bomb…I think we should pay attention more to these signs right now…for we have to go thru ww3 first…then I bet the other signs will really start popping…for I believe I remember Mr. Baxter stating something that made sense…AFTER the war, people will be screeching for peace…and guess who will fullfill that want…..
The new Pope’s family are Italian immigrants! and by no coincidence the new Pope takes the name “San Francesco d’Assisi, born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone. “di Pietro” ~ Peter! All Popes sit in the chair of who they believe the “Church” was built upon, Saint Peter. They are by Catholicized nature all Peters!
Nice insightful article. Just a pity that the father of the lie has most of the world in his grip. I wonder what is going to happen after the hindos had their 400 000 years.? LOL
Does the mark of the beast happen prior to the final 7 yrs?
The mark of the beast cannot happen until the Antichrist is in power. The Antichrist gains power in the middle of the 7 years so the mark of the beast will be implemented during the last 3 1/2 years.
But will it not be the world religious leader the one that causes the people to worship the final world ruler that implements the mark? That is my understanding.
It appears that the Antichrist will do this scripturally when we follow the context of Revelation 13. However we know that the False Prophet is going to be ruling along side the Antichrist so I am sure that both of them will be in favor of this enforcement. If you have further questions feel free to send an email to avandagriff@endtime.com. God bless.
Catholics don’t emphasize the return of Jesus Christ? That’s a different Catholic Church than I belong to. We don’t speculate on when it is going to happen, but we every week the liturgy emphasizes that Christ is coming again. Just more anti-Catholic drivel from this web site.
Bart, we are not being anti-Catholic. I was raised Catholic, taught in Catholic schools and can remember being taught that one day there will be an evil pope. Please don’t take comments on the pope and all being anti-Catholic. I encourage you to read the bible, to study prophesy, and find Jesus as your Savior. I wish I had the magical words to embrace you to use discernment and to do your own study, finding the Truth. The Truth will set you free. I will pray for you brother. In His Love!!
Thanks Bart, I was under the impression that Catholics didn’t know much about the antichrist. Appreciate your clearing it up for me
)
For the Antichrist to be accepted by Israel during his peace proclamations that person will have to have Hebrew genes, or at least say he does.
Which is why people are absolute idiots for suggesting various politicians, and other religious orders.
Here is a link to the story. I am surprised you haven’t mentioned it.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/12814
Israel just granted the Pope a seat in what they believe to be where the last supper took place and is also King David’s tomb. The Vatican has been trying to control Jerusalem. Is it possible that when it says that the Gentiles will control the outer court , that it is referring to the Vatican?
Yes, that is not only possible, but probable.
This time it is for all the marbles! Spiritual Deception is almost upon us. Satan will almost deceive the very elect.
So called Christian these days are so pathetic they do not know when Christ will return before or after or in between the tribulation nobody is united, the church is a mess we act as though the world will go on forever,, Satan is laughing while we get the latest iphone and music upload. Luke 21:36 tell us not to get carried away with the cares of this life. Well we are in it up to our necks,, MTV rule the kids,, sex on tv and the internet rule the parents, and the antichrist is almost here the new pope will be revealed this week and we are not ready,, we are asleep at the wheel, obama’s RFID is READY. What do you think about the Rapture now….. what will you do when you cannot buy food for your kids without a mark???? 5 foolish virgins they were not preppers.
Hello, I went to Apocalyptic Church End Time Prophecy, and they have a seven year calendar and they think that were living in the seven year tribulation right now, they say why and when it began. The anti-christ reveals himself half way through the seven and so does the false prophet. they are suppose to rule for 42 months. but also it says that the anti-christ will try and change set times and laws. Look up daniel 12 verse 11
According to the Bible this is not possible. Daniel 9:27 says that the confirmation of the covenant will begin the final 7 years. Also note that the verse does not say that the 7 years will be tribulation. The Bible teaches that the last 3 1/2 years will be the tribulation period.
Is the antichrist the pope? Can the antichrist be the president of a powerful nation?
The antichrist will not be the pope. The pope will actually become the false prophet. Ultimately, the antichrist will become the leader of a nation, the european union. God bless
Yes, good answer….so true.
in your words who you think is the false prophet
Biblically it appears that whoever is the Pope at the time the Antichrist is revealed will be the False Prophet.
Why is it,pope that will be the next antichrist
The final pope will be the false prophet, not the antichrist. God bless.
Where can I find the prophecy of the final pope, Petrus Romanus?
Below is a link to yesterday’s broadcast. It will help shed some light on this subject. God bless.
http://www.endtime.com/podcast/pope-benedict-resigns/
I read most of your comments, see that some of you were wonder who will be anti-christ and who will be false religion…well, according the Bible, stated that there is no names for those who will rule the world. Only thing for us to know the truth is that the world is very disaster (we are in the end times now)…knowing that Jesus Christ is coming anytime and the true believer will go with Him. Many people will fall down hard and worship the anit-christ because of his miracles and his smooth talking to those who thinks he is God. Be careful and you have to be prepared right now, by repent, follow Him, study His words more and you will be saved. Anti-christ and the false prophet will rule the world for only 7 years but millions of people will find out that he is not God (anti-christ) then there will be worse war against him and his people…So I want to make sure that one of you understand what the Bible teaches us about what is happening around the world…everything is match according the Bible! Please wake up and someone needs to be saved, read Acts 2:38, Romans 10:9. So one of you can be saved before it is too late. God bless you all with His abundant love.
When the trumpet sounds and the judgments start, you WILL KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT. Start a relationship with Jesus Christ right now so you can stop worrying and wondering who the antichrist is or will be. The only thing you will need to worry about then is; who do you see that you would like to be in heaven with you and Jesus? Hopefully, it’s everyone you meet.
With what is going around us in the whole world can we say we are in the of the world? And CHRIST second coming is at hand. Pls I want u people to help with this message: why revival tarry
I’m not sure I understand about the Judaism; Because it almost sounds like they are expecting “The Real Christ” like us Christians. Is what they are expecting, false, because they look for this messiah to REBUILD the temple himself? And that they are expecting this messiah to only include the Jews for this world peace? So they are not looking for Jesus Christ from the bible to come; but some unknown man to do these things?
Is the final prophecy of the popes real and if so is Peter Turkson going to be the the final pope Petrus Romanus
The Bible tells us that a man will stand in the new temple and declare himself to be God, he will call down fire from heaven. The false prophet will be with him, and will confirm that he is God, and will worship him. The world will believe (as a whole, except for the elect). This antichrist will be believed to the extent tgat he will cause the sacrifices at the temple to cease; because believing that God has returned, they will accept his instruction.
The bible does not specifically state that the last pope will be the false prophet or that his name will be Peter. The “prophecy” of the name of the false prophet comes from elsewhere in the world. We do know that throughout time the “one world religion” has always been within the “Holy Roman Empire”, which was headed by the king (ie.Charlemagne, etc. and the pope) There are also other sciptures indicating that the pope will be the false prophet spoken of in the prophecy. Even the catholic believers that I know have been taught that the last pope will be evil and mislead the church.
It’s up to you what you will believe, but God gave us His word so that we would know what to expect and what we must do to be saved. Read the bible and pray tgat God will give you understanding o f what you must do.
so far the prophecies of the popes have been fulfilled but nobody will know who petrus romanus will be because popes rule under another name but when the false prophet does come he will rule under the name peter which no pope has ever done.
well, there has been no Francis, such as this pope has named himself
Who’s to say the false prophet will rule as Peter?
great video!
I know one thing that my Bible tells me that the antichrist are those who Add or Remove from the word of God Almighty. And today many of the so called pastors go against the Bilbe by their volumes of personal written books and Dvds which they have priority above the Holy Bible. But the true children of God should not be moved because we know that it is written Judgement shall start from the house of God.
One major suspect of being the antichrist is the former defence minister of germany I say this because he fulfills the great monarch prophecies and the biblical prophecies of the antichrist.
2Thessalonians chapter2 verse 5-7 Irvin what exactly does this mean who is holding back the antichrist thankyou for teaching us about the endtimes
opps somebody already asked that question sorry about that
We look 4ward 2 seeing “JESUS CHRIST” OUR MESSIAH AND OUR KING 4EVA.AMEN
I think the two demonstrations of Antichrist (with Satan inside) will appear: in the new Temple, built in Jerusalem
and secondly the spirit of Antichrist will enter inside of plenty of men and women for their destruction as soon as possible at the second and glorious return of Lord YAHSHUA.
But that’s important the christian must now walk in holiness, pray, stay up and look for the rapture because they will seriously be tormented until death.
seriously be tormented until death.
Really enjoying the different discussions related to this article!
In my opinion the abomination of desolation does not take place in a structural temple. The temple of God where the abomination takes place is the human being. Yahshua answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Here Jesus speaks of the holiest temple of God is the temple of man not a building. Many people will be looking for the antichrist to walk into a temple and call himself God but I think this is too obvious and many will know what this means. I think rather satan will enter the antichrist or some other event but I don’t think it will be a building. 1 Corinthians 3:16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? Is not man more holy a temple of God than a building?
It’s literal because when the antichrist enters therein he will put an end to the sacrifices. However it doesn’t have to be a solid structure. At one point the Hebrews had a moving temple, a giant tent in other words. Also one of the parts of the Israeli/Palestinian treaty, will include sharing the temple mount with the Muslims.
The reason this is a literal temple is that this will be Soloman’s temple which doesn’t exist at this moment, Solomon’s temple is known as the temple of God, as will see in the Old Testament. This is why it’s a prophecy and why people don’t understand this, In 70 ad the Romans and the Assyrians destroyed the Temple and Jesus said it will be rebuild in troublous times, Solomon’s Temple will be rebuild and the Anti-Christ will cause the Abomination that will make Jerusalem Desolate.
The Bible tells us that there will be a literal temple during the time of the antichrist and Jesus’ second coming. Revelation 11, tells us of John measuring out the temple that will be set up. Also, in 2 Thessalonians 2 it tells us, that the antichrist will sit in the temple and claim to be God.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. Revelations 11:19. Was he measuring the temple on earth or in heaven? 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. 2 Thessalonians 2:4 God resides in each in every one of us. We are the temples of God. Could it not mean that satan will reside in a person and claim to be God? Thank you and God Bless!
This passage, which I am referring to,in Revelation 11:1-2 is talking about the earth. You have the temple and the altar for the ones that worship God, then you have the outer courts for them that do not worship God. Obviously, unbelievers will not be in Heaven. Then later on in that same chapter we see the 7th trumpet taking place(the rapture). That is when we get to see into Heaven. Satan is not an omnipresent spirit like God. He cannot inhabit every individual like God can. The passage in 2 Thessalonians 2, Paul is giving instruction to the people that the rapture is not eminent. And then goes on to give signs to show when it will happen later in the end times.
Hello
this thought about Muslims is wrong that president of Iran is the deputy of “Mahdi”.
what is your reference about this idea???(pleas answer)
pleas research first and next write your site.
What is it that is holding the antichrist back?
2 Thessalonians 2:6 tells us that time is the factor holding the Antichrist back. Once everything meets up with God’s appropriate time, then the Antichrist will be revealed.
Just to add, there has to be a falling away of the holy spirit before the Anti-Christ is reveal, God will quiet his spirit with men before the Anti-Christ comes to power, they will believe a lie and be condemned. 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 read from the beginning of the chapter. After the falling away then will come an appointed time for the man of sin.
When we start from the beginning of 2 Thessalonians 2 we find that the day of the second coming and the rapture cannot happen until there is a falling away frist and the man of sin is revealed. This passage shows us a post tribulation rapture.
So there is such a thing as the post tribulation rapture please tell me which is which
The Bible teaches a post tribulation rapture. Matthew 24:29-31 is a very clear passage that shows us this. If you have any further questions please feel free to email us at endtime@endtime.com.
Most people around me at work, at my church and my family don’t seem to care or be aware of a major spiritual turn of events ready to take place. I feel I’m just about the only one, alone, except for people like Endtimes Ministry and Jack Van Impe Ministries. Why is that?
My answer is simple. There are true Christians and people who claim to be Christians. All you can do is Pray for those people and keep your faith and try to shed the light of God unto those who are blind. There two kind of people. Children of the earth and Children of God. Children of God must spread the word to the CHhildren of the earth
I’ve got the same feeling exactly so don’t be discouraged because there are others like me, that can see it and feel it. The moral decline, peoples indifference, media deception, blindness to the truth, corrupt government, all plain to see. Bible prophecy up to now has been incredibly accurate and that is proof the great (I AM) is real. So many things are falling into place now that indicate we are in the endtimes. Jesus is the only way to salvation.
Praise the Lord!
I was reading this morning in Daniel 11 and something jumped out at me that I had not noticed in this way before.
Daniel 11:24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
The part that really jumped out at me was “he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches” More specifically, “he shall scatter among them the…riches” According to Revelation & Zechariah we know that the Red Spirit, which is Communism, will be the political view of the World Government. When reading Daniel this morning that verse jumped out at me because a major agenda of Communism is to “spread the wealth around.” Or, “scatter among them the…riches” if you will.
WOW!
Any thoughts?
God bless,
Steve in SC
This is the meaning of Fat-oily substance present in the bodies of animals and in some plants fatten, make fat; gain weight, become fat overweight; containing fat; thick; sleek; rich; fertile; good (Slang) area of a disk in which the location of each file is recorded (Computers) Notice it means rich, and fertile, just something to think the richest country are those with oil, just a side note they say that Iraq has the finest and richest oil, and they could be the richest country in the world once they get a currency.
I just want to say Communism is on a major downfall, no major country is Communism, except China and I’ve been reading in the news that China is wanting to go democracy, so Communism is on a downfall. Now Islam is similar to Communism and they control the oil(rich province)plus most Islamic nations has nuclear weapons(strong devices) plus they believe the Mahdi will bring them gifts of gold and silver. Just something I been studying may or may not but just something to think about
well we are actually living in end time what Bible says is what is happening in the world today.what surprises me is that many Christians are asleep they live their lives like heaven is not real.the system of the world have effected a lot of believers in the name of achievement.the question is how many believers will lay their wealth down for Christ?is to bad that many of us have gone off from heavenly race.is time to return home and make Christ our Lord again.
hey pastor,
First i would like to tell you that i have followed your ministry since i was about 8 (i am 14 now) and i really appreciate it. Second, i just saw a video on youtube about the anti christ. It suggested that pres obama is the anti christ. Some of the evidence was tht at a public hearing, obama read some scripture that started as “i am the lord thy God. There are none before me.” then the people started cheering “four more years”. He stopped talking and listened to their chants with a grin on his face. Also, according to the obama health care bill, by march 23, 2013, it will be mandatory for all us citizens to have a microchip implanted in their right hand and this chip will be how we access our bank accounts. Would this mean we have entered the tribulation period? Obama was elected (primarily) about 3 1/2 years ago. I woul love to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you.
Hello Jonathan,
It is good to see a young person investing in the word of God and studying the prophecies of the Bible. Keep up the good work.
From what we find in the scriptures President Obama cannot be the Antichrist. Also we have been through the health care bill that was passed and it does not mention anything about a mandatory chip implementation. So we are not in the tribulation period. Remember what Jesus said in Matthew 24:15-21. When we see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, then shall be great tribulation. The tribulation will start after the abomination of desolation occurs.
“If you consider the broadest definition of Christianity, not all of the approximately 2.1 billion Christians anticipate the arrival of Jesus Christ as Messiah. The Catholic Church, as well as some Orthodox groups, does not emphasize the return of Jesus Christ.”
Catholics are not Christians you’ve suggested.
Overlooked:
In identifying the probable area from which the antichrist will emerge, a significant element, often overlooked, needs to be noted: The Roman Empire split into two parts in the third century A.D. An Eastern half was created with its capitol in Constantinople, now Istanbul, Turkey. This half is now primarily Muslim. The Western half became the Holy Roman Empire about 800 AD with the crowning of Charlemagne as king by Pope Leo.
These two divisions can be pictured as the two legs of iron in Nebuchadnezzar’s image in Daniel Chapter two. On each of the legs are five toes. The toes represent the kingdom that will be crushed by the kingdom of God. Logically, five of the ten will be from the European Union which is reclaiming its identity as the revived Holy Roman Empire and five from the Middle East. It would follow that the antichrist could come from either the European Union or the Middle East.
Turkey has a bid for EU membership, or at least they did. I was unable to find a reliable source on current facts about this subject.
Also, according to Daniel 8:8-9 we see that the AC will rise out of one(1) of the four(4) kingdoms that came about after Alexander’s fall. Because of this, and the current state of the EU, I have leaned towards him coming from Greece, or a small country near it. If Turkey is accepted that will include another area of the four(4) kingdoms split from Alexander. I believe he will come from the EU, or whatever the EU will be after they make the required changes so that it “works” better.
Interesting to see what happens.
God bless,
Steve in SC
The anti-christ, I.e; son of perdition, is a flesh man. Him and the false prophet are thrown together into the lake of fire: Revelation 20:20!
Is Benjamin Netanyahu a born again Christian? If no, how can we support Israel’s leadership if the leaders have not accepted Christ has their personal savior?
We support them because , as the scriptures tell us, “Israel is the apple of His eye”. Also says He will bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel. Jesus comes from the Jewish people. Although God is the father.
Hey Mr Baxter I stumbled upon this person named William Tapley on YouTube who is an endtime ‘co-prophet’ and he claims that he is the eagle of the bible I’m confused a bit can you have a look at him and provide details as to whether he actually is telling the truth and in one of his YouTube vids he claimed you were a false teacher
Kind regards
Daniel 7 tells us that the beasts represent kings and kingdoms. If he was the ruler of the United States then maybe his claim could be considered however he is not. Most of the time these beasts are represented as nations or kingdoms. As a result a single man by himself cannot fulfill these prophecies. Daniel 7 clearly shows that the beasts represent a kingdom and/or the king of that kingdom.
Zechariah 11:17 said this about the Anti-Christ, Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. So here’s one description of him
Hello, I have been doing some Study on the end time and have Run across a few things I would like to hear your comments on,,, There is a Black Pope who is a Dutchman Peter-Hans Kolvenbach,,, He is the highest order of the Catholic Church which are the jesuits,,I also have read where the scripture says that the Anti Christ will sit on a while throne between to Cherub colums and Claim to bo god,,, is this not already happening with the pope now and that when the new temple is built in jeruselum that there is where the anti christ will take his seat and to claim himself god? To study the jesuits is a wealth of info and they have been ruling from behind the scenes for some time,,, very believable as in the book of Revelation we see that the mother harlot is Rome, also that the false prophit is who will lead the multitude to worship and give his blessing to the anti christ is the current pope or the pope in power when the day comes?
Thank You,
A BELIEVER ONLY IN JESUS!
We do not believe this is happening now. There is a time frame for this prophecy in Daniel 9:27. There must first be the confirmation of the covenant in order for a temple to be built. 3 1/2 years after the confirmation of the covenant the Antichrist will stand in the temple and claim to be God. This event is known as the abomination of desolation and this is the event that starts the tribulation. This has not happened just yet. We do believe that whoever is pope at the time of the abomination of desolation will be the false prophet. Is that the current pope? We tend to think not because of his age. We believe that the next pope may be the last. We will just have to wait and see how these things unfold.
Hello Pastor….
I just want to first of all say that I really appreciate you. Thank God for you and this ministry. Second, I would like to ask you what would be the best teaching that you have that would be good for me to obtain for my daughter of 18 years old, that would be best in preparing her for the end times?
Again thank you so much and may God continue to bless you.
HI Salathiel,
With teens there are no guarantees they will have much outward interest, but I have found the truth goes a long way. God Bless You.
Thanks for commenting Salathiel! What type of things is your daughter interested in? We have a wide variety of materials that would surely consist of something your daughter would find interesting.
God Bless!
Dear Pastor,
I first and foremost thank you for your incisive insight in biblical prophecies. I watched your telecast on TBN this morning and for once all my confusion and answers on the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ was clarified. Most of the teachings i have come across on this subject are confusing and not helpful. I am certainly going to be one of your avid fan because i want myself, my family and friends to be rapturable. I would certainly place order for your books as soon as possible. Please keep up the good work.
Kind regards.
Tony Abraham

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. THE END IS HERE……..BRACE YOURSELF.

They are implementing the smart ID at my high school this year. I am not sure If I want to be a part of this. I know this is not the mark of the beast but it just lets us know that we are very close. Every school in my district is going to start using them to keep track of all the students. This sounds to close to the real thing. Here is the link to the smart student ID Cards.

I forgot to mention that one of the teachers has information that next year they have plans to start implanting the chips in the students finger or forehead. She was not supposed to tell us but she is concerned about it as well.
He was wounded as unto death and the world marvel, Would it surprise you if a Iraq revival to the World Power, John wrote the beast that WAS, But Is Not, But Will Be, Shows that it cant be the Roman Empire cause he said Was, he didn’t say IS, like he did when he was talking about the fallen kings, he said five had fallen on is and the other is to come and continue a short space.The bible said that the Anti-Christ grew exceeding great to the east, another key point to why he’s from the Middle East. Don’t be surprise if one day we will wake up and Iraq will be the most powerful nation on the planet, mark my words, the bible said in Revelation the beast was wounded as to death and the whole earth marvel as the deadly wound was healed, We’ll see a Rebuild Babylonian Empire, The story of King Nebuchadnezzar and the three Hebrew boys is a picture of the Anti-Christ and the way people will be force to worship his image. The Anti-Christ is a Shi’ite Muslim bible has strong proof.
government promotes satan and attacks the bible
Might we look for the AntiChrist to come from a wider area than the present European Union? We know he will be the leader of the one-world government which will arise from among the ten toes of the beast of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13. This is the ruthless beast destroyed by Jesus when he comes. The beast is from the sea suggesting many nations or peoples. The references to the lion and the bear in Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 would indicate Western Europe. The bear tells us this terrible beast includes Russia.
The Antichrist will arise out of the revived Roman Empire which the conventional wisdom of Prophecy teachers says is the current European Union or the revived Holy Roman Empire.
However this does not take into account the Eastern branch of the Roman Empire. Persia, Palestine and parts of North Africa were at one time ruled by Rome. In AD 293 the Emperor Dioclesian decided to shift the center of the Roman Empire to the East. It was named Byzantine or the Eastern Roman Empire. Its capital was named Byzantium, later Constantinople–now Istanbul–Turkey.
Then the Western half divided into 5 parts, split up among the Germanic tribes who continued to identify themselves as Rome, retaining a semblance of its identity as ‘Rome’ during the era of the ruler Charlemagne. Successors to these five might be the now five strongest nations in the European Union: Britain, France, Spain, Italy and Germany.
Following the death of Mohammed in 632 , the Middle Eastern Arabs increasingly overran the Byzantine Eastern Orthodox Empire. The Eastern leg of the revived Roman Empire is now strongly Muslim Will we be able to see the emergence here of possibly five rulers from among which would arise the Antichrist? There are several strong candidates for kings from the East and Middle East: for instance the rulers of Russia, Syria, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan
It also does not consider the establishment in the United States of the United Nations which has evolved the leadership of Paul Warburg with the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank in 1913, the Brookings Institute in 1916, and the Council of Foreign Relations in 1921. According to Dr. Baxter these look to a one-world economy, a one-world religion and a one world government, all strongly supported by the Vatican.
The United Nations is primarily pro-Muslim, not supporting Israel’s right to exist. These observations could give strong credence to the expectation that its leader would be a Muslim, even the Mahdi eagerly awaited by the Muslims.
yeah, we are have to tighten up our seat belt, because nobody can face the antichrist, the only solution is to be upright with God, so that you don’t miss rapture. The torment by the antichrist will be to much and you have no choice, so the best to do is to trust in God
you don’t have to be afraid, it has been written and it will all come to pass. As Christian our main concern is to pray for God Grace so that we don’t miss it!
NOTICE: without holiness no man can see God!!!
holiness is the key to dine with God in heaven
I pray that God will help us
Corinthians 10:13, …He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
-
Of course we can face the antichrist. Is our faith so weak that temporary torment by the antichrist is enough for us to give in to his demands and suffer an eternity of torment? Since when have we ever “had no choice?” You always have a choice.
-
The end is coming soon. Pray that the Lord reveals the truth to you, so that you aren’t caught off guard.
We have different views on when the rapture is going to take place but at least we do believe that there is going to be one. That being said we read in the Bible that this final antichrist which is coming upon the earth will be revealed after that which is holding him back is removed. Many believe it is the holy spirit that is holding this person back, others believe it is the church. I think it is both. I also hate to be the bearer of bad news for some people out there who think oh I will believe the gospel and believe that Jesus is the only way to be apart of the rapture but they say when that happens I will get right then. It isnt going to happen because the ones who knew the gospel and believed it yet didnt get that personal relationship with Christ will be put under a strong delusion to follow the antichrist. There will be people saved during the great tribulation but only those who either never heard the gospel or those who had heard it and didnt believe. But those who think that their going to wait to see if it happens are going to find out that not only was it real but now there is no hope for them. At least thats my view on it. And why not get into a personal relationship? Some say oh its to hard but in reality its not. Just keep in mind which place do you want to spend eternity? Of course the logical answer is heaven but some will still pick hell why I really dont know. I hope this helps someone.
God is in full control at all times. Nothing comes to me, without going through the Holy Father first. God wrote the script. The beginning to the very last second of what is to come. The Bible is the truth, and has the answers that one seeks to have. There is always hope for those that accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. One of the most difficult truths in the Bible is when Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23,”Not everyone who says to me, Lord,Lord’ shall enter the Kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practiced lawlessness!” This is not a game we are playing, but a truth that must be said for it matters for people’s eternity. God is crystal clear about everything. There is nothing kept from us. The Bible tells us the truth. Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. : ))
If you refuse the mark you will beheaded and you will enter the kingdom of heaven it won’t be to late to except Jesus as your Lord and savoir but if you take the mark you will not go to heaven Revlations 13 tells us no man shall by nor sell anything unless he has the mark,and if you refuse the mark you will be beheaded
I belive jesus christ is d saviour of d world that u and i are in so pls and pls accept jesus christ as yr lord and savior 2day 2mmorow may be late he his d way d truth and d live no one sees GOD but through jesus christ d true religion is christanity becos d prophecy of d bible are comimg to pass no other religion prophesy what d bible said so open yr inner eye to see beyound human eye thank u as u accept him in yr heart and u will never regret knowing jesus christ to d entre world.
vic please believe me that excepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior is not salvation. It is God bless you are very good start. But read acts chpt. 2, the birth of the church. the way the first believers were saved is how the last person will be saved. acts 2:38.Peter said repent and be baptized evey one of you in the NAME of Jesus Christ , for the remission of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. in the Bible when they received the Holy Ghost , they spoke in tongues. Dont except anything less.
No one comes to the Holy Father BUT by and through Jesus Christ! He is the only way to heaven! Believe He is the truth, the way, and the life. He is my Lord and Savior. Only JESUS CHRIST can save! Believe the truth that, He was sent here to die for our sins and for our SALVATION on the cross, so that we may have everlasting life! Believe upon his NAME as your personal savior. There is nothing better than, Lord Jesus Christ! I read the King James Bible. One last note on the AC. I’ll throw in France and England- the latter has more attention. -”The great white hope?”
God Bless! 
Great show and wonderful DVD’s. Thanks!
Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is a “confusing” concept.
What is “NOT confusing” is the book of Acts. This is the only record in scripture
whereby we must be saved. Repent and be baptized in Jesus Name, and then
being filled with God’s spirit by the evidence of speaking in God’s language.
Saying a prayer is good. But saying a prayer is not fulfilling Jesus’ instructions on
how to be born again.
