NOTR - Antichrist In Prophecy - 4.5.17
Today's Show: ANTICHRIST IN PROPHECY
Chris discusses more of the Historicist view on Antichrist and how prophecy was seen by the Reformers, in particular, their belief that Revelation chapter 9 foretold the rise of Islam in the middle ages. Also discussed are a number of news stories, including the story of a U.S. Representative who declared that the pope was "the anti-Christ" based on her study of the Geneva Bible, along with an update on modern textual criticism and the new books that have been produced on the subject of Codex Sinaiticus.

Thanks again Christian for your commentary... It is interesting that in 1 John chapter 2 verse 18 it declares:
"18 Little children, 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."
John makes it clear there will be A Antichrist which Paul referred to as the "man of sin" in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2... This man of sin will declare himself to be GOD, and speak great blasphemies as Daniel chapter 2, Revelation chapter 13, as well as 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 point out... This man of sin will be possessed by Abaddon the destroyer, and make this individual more than just a mere man... He will be viewed by many as a "superman," and will be worshiped as God by those who are seduced by this Satanic messiah...
While Mohammed, as well as various popes throughout the centuries have been looked upon as "gods," this final Antichrist will be so convincing, and appeal to the saints in a such a way that, as our Savior pointed out in Matthew chapter 24 verse 24, "even the elect could be deceived if possible."... The only way this could occur is if an individual is not being lead by the Spirit of God, but by a religion that has portions of Truth, but not the entire Truth about our God, and Savior...
There are an awful lot of sects of Christianity in our world... This is confusion of, and by itself... One can pick of choose which version of Christianity that appeals to them... Paul warned of this in his letter to the assembly of Corinth.. These were allowing for men to subvert their faith in Christ Jesus by taking his place as their Teacher, while teaching doctrines that were not of God...
With that being said, those of the Muslim faith believe that our Savior was a prophet... HE of course is much more than that, being THE PROPHET, being GOD, and The WORD of GOD, at least the Muslim view of our Savior was one of respect as a prophet...
But there is a sect that were in complete rebellion, and had an utter hatred of God that was Satanic in nature... The Pharisee, and the Talmudic Judaic faith is alive, and well today in our world... Our Lord Jesus Christ declared this to John in Revelation chapters 2, and 3 verse 9 in both chapters as the 'synagogue of Satan.'.... Is it not interesting that our Savior would refer to this enemy as the synagogue... Not the church, or the mosque, or the temple of Satan... Syn A Gogue of Satan...
In the end, and before our Lord Jesus Christ returns their headquarters will be in Jerusalem... This city is, and will certainly be filled with spiritual darkness, or as Revelation chapter 11 verse 8 points out:
"And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified"
The Lord will purge this city, and the world at the brightness of HIS RETURN as a conquering KING.... But until then God's prophetic Word will have to be fulfilled in HIS entirity...
The trumpets of God have not been blown as of yet... The last 3 trumpets, which God refers to as the 3 woes, will usher in such great tribulation as Matthew chapter 24 points out... The release of Abaddon by Satan himself will be allowed by God as mankind will continue in such a sinful spiritual state of mind, and these last 3 trumpet blasts will be God's judgment of it through the forces of darkness... The final trumpet being the end of Satan's dominion over mankind's affairs, and the beginning of the establishment of God's kingdom by our Lord Jesus Christ on the earth for a thousand year period...
We must prepare ourselves in Christ Jesus... For the times that lie ahead will be quite perilous, and supernaturally deceptive...
Hi Chris,
I just listened to your program regarding the Armenian genocide. I listened carefully because there have been previews of a movie that is coming out about the Armenian genocide. How ironic! You didn't mention this fact. Did you know This? Anyway, as a lover of history, I'm a bit embarrassed and disappointed that I've never even heard of an "Armenian Genocide". I 'm very glad you covered this, and as always......you do an outstanding job of connecting the dots!! There is just no end to the treachery and evil put forth by the Vatican and it's emissaries.......the Jesuits!!! It will be interesting to see how all this is portrayed in the movie. I don't hold out much hope it will be accurate! Your coverage of this piece of history has now made me want to see it, however.
Thanks, Chris, for your program and the work and research that goes into bringing this information to us.
