a thought on the anti-christ

in order for the anti-christ to trick, if it were possible, even the elect of god, he would have to visibly be something other than a human being. why you might ask? easy: people are so very suspicious of other races, that he would automatically have millions of people combing over everything he said and did, and who would suspect him of ill intent, right off the bat. if he were other worldly, people would suspect him as well, so he couldn't look like a grey or reptilian. so what is he exactly? what entity could pull something like that off and not automatically have people be suspicious of him based on his race/physical appearance?

IMO.

It's not an individual. There is no singular entity known as The Antichrist.

it's a category, not a person.

YMMV.

OK, you got me. I'm the Anti-Christ.

But if you're referring to some kind of powerful Anti-Christ. Well, that would be some Spiritual Entity embodying some Rich and Powerful man.

Now I am here to explain what will happen to your people in the future, for this vision concerns a time yet to come."


that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.


He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.

"The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place.


And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

i have read somewhere about this- reality is a set of spheres, and if you revolve closer to the center, you are closer to "god" then reality gets more "real", and if you are further away from the center, things get more "unreal" thus, you get closer to the "devil",

but it was more complex, i think it was from Philip K. Dick, --Counter-clock world,
an entertaining book, fiction of course, but he put some thought in it.

And that refers to The Antichrist where, exactly?

As he did with most of his work. Dick was not a shallow observer of our human condition and offered up some of the best 'speculative fiction and fantastical projections of the last 50 years. Listening to the intent behind many of his outlandish scenarios can offer deep insights into the foibles and fallacies of our modern world.

What is your question?

a reply to: Patshrick

the issue is a cult of personality, which we've seen several times through out history but still doesn't answer the question how he could be so successful at it when people are suspicious of everything, particularly world leaders.

The antichrist is Apollyon. Revelation calls him the Beast from the Abyss/Sea and Apollyon rises from the Abyss. So the Anti-christ isn't fully human. He is called the Angel of the Abyss but also the man of sin, so maybe he is a nephilim (half angel, half man).

The number of his name is 666, and in Ezra, a man by the name of Adonikam had 666 descendants, so the number of the house/name of Adonikam is 666.

So, the Anti-christ will probably call himself Adonikam, which is fitting since it means God (Adonai) rises (kam). We know that the anti-christ will call himself God, and since he is the Beast that rises from the Abyss, he will call himself the risen God.

Think of Antiochus Epiphanes. It means God is manifested. Daniel 11 compared Antiochus and the Antichrist side by side, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Anti-christ named himself the Risen God (Adonikam).

The Antichrist Is Not Auntie Chris t As Has Been Defined Lately From What Has Been Read. First Of All Chris Is Not Dead.

Excuse The Off Topic Information.
So Onto The Topic.

There Has Been A Lot Written About Antichrist With No Definitive Explanation To Who Or What It Is.
The Definition Is Kind Of Hidden In A Few Sentences Recalled Earlier With No Recollection Of Where Read Or The Actual Wording.
Basically What Was Written Said The Children Will Hate The Antichrist Yet The Antichrist Will Defeat The Children.

To Begin To Understand Exactly What The Writings mean Understand Not A Negative Portrait Is There Written About The Antichrist. The Antichrist Has been Labeled An Enemy Which Is Incorrect.

The Writings About The Children Says It Seems There Are Two Antichrist Yet There Is Not Two.
The Children Hate While Fighting The Antichrist Because The Thought To Be As In The Writings Is Lying Claiming To Be The Antichrist Who Is Not Fighting The Children.
Loves The Children A Lot.

LOL!

This is long but educational on the subject::

someone pointed out to me that messiah came from the word used to describe the oil used to anoint the pharaohs of egypt, but only for one specific purpose, like during an inauguration of the pharaoh or a wedding of a pharaoh. could it be this antichrist will set himself up as a pharaoh and claim to be the risen christ? this is a blog on the subject written by someone that gives a few pertinent words to research
