Yes, Christians may not like Bush, but in the description of Anti-Christ, he is said to be a friend of Israel, not Christians.
So who is friendly now with Israel, if not US, BUSH?
The Seventy-Weeks of Daniel tells us several important facts about this coming world leader. He is identified as the “The prince who is to come”
and he is a descendent of the “People” who destroyed the city of Jerusalem and the Temple.
And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary Daniel 9:26b
Ø He makes a seven-year peace agreement with Israel.
Through the use of military force, the prince to come establishes Israel’s right to Temple sacrifice and worship. We know this because he breaks
this agreement by stopping sacrifice and offering in the middle of the week.
27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; Daniel 9:27a
Ø He will be a friend to Israel.
In order for Israel to establish Temple sacrifice, the Dome of the Rock must be removed causing worldwide conflict against Israel. Only an ally of
Israel would guarantee (Confirm) the right of Temple sacrifice over the will of 1.3 billion Muslims.
Ø He will be a military/political leader of a powerful nation.
4So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war
with him?” Revelation 13:4 .
39Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to
rule over many, and divide the land for gain. Daniel 11:39
7“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was
devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts Daniel 7:7
19And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.
Revelation 19:19
Ø He will persecutes the saints
21“I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them,
He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute£ the saints of the Most High,
And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand.
Daniel 7:21
7It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every £tribe, tongue, and nation. 8All who
dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9If
anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword.
Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 15He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should
both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
Revelation 13:7-10,15
Ø His identity is concealed till the time of its revelation
5Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own
time. 7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless
one will be revealed, 2 Thessalonians 2:5-8
Ø He is defeated by Christ at His return
8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 2
Thessalonians 2:8
***
The identity of the anti-christ will soon be revealed, know then how close we are to the end.
