OWNERSHIP NOTICE I claim no originality or ownership rights of the research presented in this book. Most of the text was written by early bible scholars and few faithful modern rabbis and pastors. I only summarized their texts and connected the dots to provide an understanding of the spirit of the Antichrist of our modern times. My goal is help establish peace on earth by exposing the identity and tactics of the Antichrist and his false prophets. FREE SPEECH & JUST USE NOTICE I foresee future efforts to censor this book by the followers of the Antichrist. The Zionists are working on internet censorship laws to silence all oppositions and increase their power. Their favorite method will be branding this book as hate speech. This book is not intended to spread hate against any race or religion. Zionism is a political movement that corrupts and utilizes any methods including religions to achieve its objective. Zionism is not only Jewish, you will also find Christian, Muslim and Atheists among most ardent supporters. You will also find Jewish among the strongest supporters of Anti-Zionism. For example, if I address a group of extremist Jews, it is important to note that not all Jews are bad or their religion is bad. Every ethnic or religious group has evil leaders at certain periods of time, Jews are no exception. My ancestors are Semites, and no, I’m not a self-hating Jew. I’m evil-hating Jew who fell in love with Jesus Christ. Not every time someone has to criticize an Israel we have to silence them with anti-Semitism charges. My voice against the evil elite in my ethnic group is the best antidote to antisemitism. It shows that there are Jewish people who stand against the oppression and deception of their own Zionist leaders. Even among Zionists, there are misguided peace-loving Jewish and Christian Zionists. Even among Zionist there are peace-loving and war-loving. When Rabin wanted to make peace with the Arabs an extremist Jew killed him. However if a government, a think tank, a pundit, a journalist, a TV station, a financier, a lobby or a politician is using deception to promote war and suffering in the name of Christ or Jewish protection, it is our duty to point out that they are doing the work of Antichrist whether they know it or not. This book will provide you with all the evidence you need for the case against Zionist Israel. The Antichrist has no God but power, he is a master of deception, he will use religion to gain power or achieve his goals and he will fight it or corrupt its teachings when it stands in his way. He will even use, abuse and kill his own people if it serves his power. One might confuse his identity when interpreting the bible text, but you will undeniably know him from his actions. The Antichrist is serpents who spread his fiery poison of fear and hate to protect and expand his powers and exploit other people and nations. I urge you not to use this this work for inciting violence against the Jews. Please remember, I’m a Jew and not all Jews are bad, even if our Zionist elites are corrupt and commit crimes against humanity. The best way is fight them is to expose them.

Preface: Why is it important to examine the Antichrist prophecy? The Antichrist is probably the most well-known bible prophecy topic to Christians, yet the most misunderstood part of the bible. The bible warned us about many Antichrists and false prophets, not just one. Starting with Herod, known as the Great King of Jews, who killed innocent children to prevent the coming of Jesus and followed by the crucifixion of Jesus Christ by the elites of the Jewish Temple and their enforcer (The Roman Empire) until the current State of Israel and its enforcer (the US Empire). The spirit of the Antichrist (Satan) manifested in different forms, entities or systems that used greed, lies, deception, fear, hate, and violence to exploit the weak and accumulate power and wealth at the expense of the gentiles (other nations) and spread suffering and death among those who oppose them. The prophecy is the most used tool by religious fervors to promote war and division among nations and even people with the same religion. In Part 3 of the book (Historical timeline) I will show how the extremist Jewish intellectuals and money were behind Protestant branding of the Catholic Pope as the antichrist and more recently the branding of Obama as the antichrist by Zionist extremists, I will provide you proof and modern examples of how they operate for example the Publishing of the Mossad linked Islamic Antichrist to create a clash of civilization between Muslims and Christians and also to create wars between Sunni and Shia Muslims. As Christians it is our duty to fight these Antichrists and expose their deception. This is not a call for violence against any group, but a call to fight the deception by exposing the corruption and lies spread by the Zionist neocons to exploit Jews, Christians and other nations. The truth will set us free from their power and oppression. The sure way to identify the antichrist of our time is to see who are the people behind the war mongering in America today, they are Zionist neocons. Their top loyalty is to Israel (the Antichrist), they will divert the tax money and send American people in harm’s way to fight their war of Israel dominance. Zionism and it’s right-wing supporters has a growing modern political influence in US, Europe and Asia (including India). It is a threat to world peace and international relations. In the U.S., Zionism is an informal coalition formed around tele-evangelical Protestants, extremist Jews, Mormons and Atheists of Jewish heritage with financial ties to the Israeli lobbies. All presidential candidates must get the approval of the AIPAC Israeli Lobby. No major political figure dares to disagree with them. They control the media, the CIA, and Wall Street, which enables them to control the congress and silence anyone who might oppose them. The Israeli ADL lobby is working on a bill to control free speech by branding any criticism of Israel or extremist Jews as hate speech. They are trying to find ways to censor the Internet by controlling search engines and social networks, media and and bandwidth of ISP companies. Similar lobbies and networks are active in the politics of Canada, Europe and Australia. I will prove to you how they tick, seduce, or pressure many politicians to support the same goal of the supremacy of the State of Israel and the Zionist control of Global money, intelligence and political networks. The bible tells us that this total power control is the main feature of the Antichrist. Who is the most powerful country in the world? Who is the most powerful lobby that control that country? In a 2003 interview, Jacques Chirac, President of France at that time, affirmed that President George W. Bush asked him to send troops to Iraq to stop Gog and Magog, the "Bible's satanic agents of the Apocalypse." According to Chirac, the American leader appealed to their "common faith" (Christianity)
and told him: "Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East…. The biblical prophecies are being fulfilled…. This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people's enemies before a New Age begins." Source: Maurice, Jean-Claude (2003). Si vous le répétez, je démentirai... Chirac, Sarkozy, Villepin. Paris: Plon. History repeat itself, the popularity of the Antichrist prophecy rises before and during wars. Many innocent people must get burned until a new world order is established. The driving forces behind Bush Middle East wars where the Zionist neocons. The team included Paul Wolfowitz, John Bolton, Elliott Abrams, Richard Perle, and Paul Bremer and Dick Cheney (for a full list of Zionist Neocons see Part 4 of the book). Their key propaganda machines is the media network of Rupert Murdoch and producers and head editors of other major networks too. Despite an opposition from true Jews and Christians over the past two centuries, the Zionist right-wing won and they embarked on a new world order via change of regimes and igniting civil wars, and invading all who oppose Israel Every year US gives Israel $3 billion tax payers money in direct military aid and many billions in indirect aid to finance the suppression of Israel’s current and future enemies. That is without counting the undeclared budget of CIA and Defense covert operations to support Israel. In Iraq alone, about 3 Trillion dollars was spent, half a million people killed and injured, a nation destroyed and the most dangerous terrorist organizations risen promising to fight the New Roman Empire (USA and Europe) and calling them the new Crusaders. They people of those nations are resorting to extreme measures of terrorist acts and suicide missions in retaliation for US-Israeli wars against their populations. The Christians in America and Europe, do not know the true agitators behind all this violence, and the Zionist controlled media feed further fear and hate propaganda and portray them as savages who hate our freedom. It is true that these terrorists are monsters, but what made these people so angry, filled with hate and turned into evil? Who protected and supported the rulers that protected their oppressors? Who financed, trained, armed AlQaeda and ISIS? It is the Zionists in US and UK and their ally the Saudi government. Then when the monster start fighting its own creators, the Israeli Zionists hired intellectual guns blame the poor nations and create new extremist Christians that wants to retaliate against Muslims further driving the radicalization on both sides and creating a vicious cycle of violent death and suffering. This leads to more CIA-Mossad and military spending in turn enriching the Zionist neocons. Unfortunately the Zionist are succeeding in creating a clash of civilization between Christianity and Islam. They must succeed in order to survive. They can survive and thrive only when the gentiles (other nations are busy killing each other). The strategy of “Divide and Rule” has been employed as early as the killing of Jesus by the Romans. They cannot survive or rule if Protestants and Catholics are united, if the Sunni and Shia are united and if Muslims and Christians are allies instead of enemies. The point is that the extreme Zionists driven by the neocons are the most dangerous threat to world peace and human unity. I will prove to you that their symbols, traits, actions all match what bible warned us as the Antichrist of our time. Passive silence towards evil deeds does not produce peace, it will only allow the evil doers to mislead more people and become more brazen and aggressive. The only way to achieve peace is to expose those behind the evils of our world, especially the
wolves in lamb clothing and false prophets of the Antichrist. Those are the most dangerous manifestations of the spirit of evil.
The Methodology to Decode the Prophecy How to Identify the Antichrist? The bible provided stories of the ancient people and the lessons from their stories where corrupted and misunderstood by today’s English speaking followers. There is a lot of confusion about the topic. The book of Revelation mixes allegory with the literal narrative. So how to avoid the confusion? And do we follow the literal or the allegory? 1. I follow the most logical. It is important to remember that ancient people’s use of language was different from today’s use in one critical aspect, the communication language was more poetic than scientific and the message was delivered in a story telling format using metaphorical language and imagery. If the text describe a phenomena that is supernatural or metaphorical then it is symbolic, if it is natural then it is literal. For example when the bible mentions the “hand of God” I do not believe that God used a physical hand and I interpret this as symbolic and metaphorical language that means a person or an entity that does the will of God. The same when the bible describe the Antichrist or Satan as a man or a beast or a dragon, it does not mean necessarily an actual animal or a person but more logically as an entity such as a country or a government body with similar traits, behavior that employs evil actions and symbols described in the bible. I also use the context of the language in the entire bible, for example, the bible in several parts described nations as beasts. So the beast of the Antichrist is not necessarily an animal but a country or a government body 2. When two biblical texts appear to be in conflict, I use history and the context of Jesus Christ mains spiritual message to put things in perspective. For example: If one text describes the Jewish people in an earlier era as the “chosen people” or another text describe the Israeli people as vipers (snakes) and the Jewish temple as Synagogue of Satan. Which one I chose? Neither literal interpretation is right. I put them in historical context and do not ignore the context of Jesus spiritual message spread equity peace, and love for all. If you take either text out of context, you will either promote Jewish supremacy (Zionism), racism and violence of the State of Israel against the gentiles (other nations) OR you would engage in anti-Semitism and persecute all Jews instead of the corrupted Zionists, whether they are Jews, Christians or Muslims. Early unbiased Christian scholars knew that God first chose the Jewish people to receive the word of god via Moses (not to rule the world) but many of them rejected God’s message and God punished them. He later sent Jesus to them and the Jewish Temple elites had him killed and god punished again and destroyed the Temple. As in every other religion or group of people there are good and bad Jews. Those who choose to uphold God’s commands of peace, love and equity for all, god will favor them and if they reject god, will be punish them. So chosen people does not give Jewish blood any superiority and neither does God demonize them for punishment. We should not publish today’s Jews for the Sins of the earlier Jews, at the same we should not assume that all the Jews of today are like Moses or his followers. It depends on their action. Just because something positive or negative happened to some group of Jews or Christians in an earlier it does not mean that current or future Jews or Christians are doomed to suffer for their fathers mistakes or gain the same favor if they disobey god.
3. Early language usage: Unlike modern use of English, we refer to things as it rather than he or she. In the past things were personified for example “Woman” and “she” used to refers to abstractions personified as feminine, and also for the soul, a city, a country, an army, the Church, and others. Naming the city as "daughter" was a common practice in early times. Not only Jerusalem was called this way, but also Babylon, Tyre and Tarshish were referred to as "daughter".[14]. The use of “man” or “he” The use of "he" to refer to describe gender-neutral entities such as God or unknown gender. There is a lot of confusion about the identity of the Antichrist and this confusion is caused by disinformation, misinformation and propaganda of the false prophets. So how best to identify him? I identify him by his behavior and actions. The bible tells us the Antichrist is a master of deception and is obsessed about power and brings suffering and pain to the world. In this case I seek information from opposing media sources and do not depend on one source of information to form my conclusions. When in doubt between two entities, I chose the ones that is closest to the description of symbols and actions listed in the bible. I also included a chapter on how Schofield’s Zionist Bible Published by Jewish Controlled Oxford Publishers at the time, deliberately used wrong English translations, revisions and notes to corrupt the original bibles to mislead Christians to support Israel political agenda rather following the true message of Jesus Christ. I agree with Paster Dough Batchelor, “the Antichrist is not necessarily a single man, or a single beast, these are the limitations of language. Satan is referred to in the bible as a snake. It does not mean that he is literally a snake and we should kill all the snakes in the world. The correct interpretation is that he is sneaky and will poison our mind against God.. Jesus sometime is referred to as a “Lamb”. It does not mean his an actual male gender controlling the world while sitting on a chair, or that he is an actual sheep. This was the language of the time, in many ways it was metaphorical and it should be interpreted in such away. So when the Antichrist is a beast and Jesus is a Lamb. The symbols are clear, the group of men that seek power and destruction vs Christ the real Christians that seek love, live and let live philosophy. However it is very interesting that Antichrist men are attracted to symbols of powers and they use actual symbols and images of snakes and beasts. This is the wonder of the prophecy. Beware that, I after I reveal the Antichrist that in the future they may work on changing their symbols, just as they did in the past to escape identification. 4. Also I do not ignore the historical context of Jesus, the Jewish Temple and the Romans. When the text in the new revised translations and notes by Oxford bible contradict earlier Christian scholars, I ignore the Zionist propaganda and choose the version of earlier Christians to avoid the corruption of the political propaganda. 5. The time used in the bible remains difficult to decode. Many rabbi’s and Christian scholars tried to time the return of their Messiah’s and failed. Since I do not have enough evidence to support any timing forecast, I do not attempt to interpret the time mentioned in the bible or the time of the Antichrist appearance and the duration of his rule and the time of the Second coming of the Christ. However, the bible mentions many antichrists and false prophets, so one rational way to interpret the holy books is that the evil spirit of the antichrist manifest itself throughout the history trying to accumulate maximum power and control over the world to become the ultimate God and that the good spirit of the Christ manifest itself in the resistance of his true followers. Whether the end of times means the end of all history or just a time period of history, I do not know! I simply have no way of speculating with confidence. It would be dishonest to try to project future knowledge, when I have no confidence in the basis of such knowledge.
"Who is the Antichrist"? Is it a man, an animal, an organization or a country? Description, Traits, Characteristics and Actions of the Antichrist The Bible tells us certain identification details that seem to make this possible. But not every Antichrist theory drawn upon a Bible passage is reliable and some are devious with the aim of distracting from the real Antichrist that Jesus and early Christians warned about for last 21 centuries. The bible says: One day, the Antichrist will be revealed. Thessalonians 2:3-4 tells us how we will recognize the Antichrist: "Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God." Is the Antichrist a Jew? The Antichrist simply means the one who opposes or fight Christ. However it does not mean everyone who differ in opinion with Christians such as Jews, Buddhist, Hindus, Muslims, but the ones who actively work on killing the spirit of the Christ, the ones who use evil actions to eliminate the spirit of peace, love and equity for all. The Bible mentions many antichrists and false prophets, not just one. 1 John 2:18 “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye (you) have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” The first known Antichrist King Herod (The Great King of the Jews) who was obsessed with his own power and the power of the Jews and the expansion of the temple. When he learned about the prophecy of the birth of Jesus Christ, he ordered the massacre of all the boys less than two years old in Bethlehem, but Jesus’ family flees to Egypt and later settles in Nazareth. The second Antichrist was the Jewish temple rabbis and money elites who fought Jesus Christ for undermining their power and exposing their corrupt laws and practices. In the New Testament, Paul tells us, “the Jews who killed the Lord, Jesus” (I Thessalonians 2:14-15). They called him the false Messiah and had the Romans soldiers (The enforcer) crucify him on criminal charges. After the killing of Jesus they conspired and did all they can to persecute or convert his followers, weaken Christians or destroy them. God turned the Romans against them and had kill the elites and their supporters and destroy the temple (a symbol of the Rabbi Power rather than God) The bible says “He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God." Who opposes God? No one in history opposed Jesus Christ and hated and persecuted and insulted him like the Elite Jews. Other religions did not do that that, even with the Crusades, the Muslim revere Jesus and believe he is born of Virgin Mary from the spirit of God and believe in his second coming and that he is the true Messiah and they will fight by his side against the Antichrist. (See the Chapter on the Zionist deception of the Islamic Antichrist)
Comment: The Zionist propaganda are doing everything to blame the Romans and absolve the Jewish temple from their crime. Rather than deny history or corrupt the bible understanding. The Jewish Rabbis are better served apologizing for killing Jesus as they demand from modern German generation to keep apologizing for killing the Jews by the Nazi and paying for the mistakes of their grandparents. I truly believe that the sins of the fathers should not be paid for by the innocent children or grandchildren, but if the children keep the same sin by branding Jesus as a criminal bastard and false prophet and subverting Jesus message and insulting and attacking Christians, then they can only attract continued hate. You do not see the true side of the Jewish settlers and what the Zionists really think about Jesus. The media is controlled by the Zionists. I submit to you the following sample videos: “How the Jews Mock Jesus Christ” - Brother Nathanael https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yle_qeeOIMA Jewish Settlers: “Jewish Settlers We killed Jesus; we're proud of it!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQbWDp9IWqs Shocking -The Jewish Grudge on Jesus Christ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCPF3mSloBk It is true not all Jews believe the same, but what the media will not tell you that extremist Zionist have far more influence and control that we all think. The book will prove that beyond any reasonable doubt. Back to the Antichrist Prophecy. In part two of the book, the historical timeline will show you that every time the extremist Jews and money elites abused the Gentiles (other nations) and used any other method than justice and peace to gain establish a Jewish community or make a living, God punished them, destroyed their communities and expelled them into foreign lands. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Later in the book I will share with you the from the Bible how the Jews thrive when they keep God’s oath and how they get destroyed when they abuse God’s gift and break the oath. No group of people in history suffered as much as the Jews because of the repeated policies of their elites. Since the time of Jesus Christ until the last century, Christian scholars believed the Antichrist will be an extremist Jew. There was no doubt or confusion that the Jewish Temple believed that Jesus was a false Messiah and the Christians thought that the Antichrist will be a Jewish Ruler. However you will see several propaganda and disinformation campaigns by extremist Zionist intellectuals sponsored by Jewish money and their ruling allies to distract from the real Antichrist by fabricating new interpretations and corrupting the early Christian teaching and falsely accusing entities that opposed the Jewish power. Among the victims of their deception and false accusations were the Catholic Church, the Pope, Islam, Mohammed, the Communists, Russia, China, Obama, Bill Clinton, and other politicians.
The Antichrist will cause a lot of destruction and does not believe in any laws, except serving his power. He “will set himself up in God’s temple and above all Gods”. He will want to be the ultimate power that rule and control trade and natural resources through the control of global financial resources. Sometimes the life and death of nations and communities will depend on their submission to his power He (the spirit of the antichrist) will head up a new a major world government that holds captive the entire world. This headship is the same ruling position that Satan offered to Jesus when he tempted him (Lk 4:57). For the last the last 3½ years of this age, God will allow Satan to take full authority over all nations and give it to the Antichrist (Rev 13:7, 2). Who is today the superpower of the world? USA. Which country conducts maximum number of wars and sells maximum number of death weapons? Who controls that superpower? Israel via its Lobbies in the US. A proof later will be shared in this book. In Part 3 of this book, “The Timeline of the Rise of the Antichrist”, details the actions of the Antichrist since the birth of Christ and all the following deception efforts to corrupt and destroy God’s message, showing the obsessions of the Zionists with power and all the events that led today to the building of Israel and its accumulation of power and control over the world.
Antichrist and the Mark of the Beast? 666 The bible tells us clearly the mark of the beast is 666 in some parts and in other parts he gives a description of the beast as a Dragon, a Serpent, etc. Jesus told us that we will be surprised because He is a master deceiver. I will list evidence from the bible and physical evidence from our times to prove who the Antichrist is. The so called Star of David is the Mark of the Antichrist. After thousands of hours of research in symbols of the modern and ancient nations and organizations, I was surprised to find no entity fits the mark of the beast and the description of the Antichrist like Israel. Not even close. It was staring us in the face all along. Hidden in plain sight. When unknown researcher shared his findings on the Internet, I was initially dismissive and highly skeptical but when I did further research, I had no doubt that the Mark of the Beast is the Star of David and that Israel is the Antichrist. In this book I will provide the evidence for behind this belief. Unlike other dubious theories that employ false methods to identify the antichrist, the Israeli symbols, history, traits and actions screams in your face, you only have to look. The bible prophecy was simple and direct. It is does not need contrived and false translations in multiple languages to arrive at the numerical number 666. It is for all people of any language can get it. It is simple and clear. Let’s examine the symbol of the Star of David. It has 6 external points, 6 triangles and 6 internal points.
Unlike the Lion of Judah (The beast), the Star of David is it is actually a relatively new Jewish symbol. After further research, it was interesting to know that the Star of David was not actually a true Jewish symbol. The earliest Jewish usage of the symbol was used by an invented cult of Jewish Kabbalists for use in magic and talismanic protective amulets (segulot). It became a political symbol of Zionist movement who’s main aim is accumulation and exercise of power against the gentiles and later the symbol of the state of Israel The Star of David marks the birth of the Antichrist of our time, the (metaphorical) incarnation of the Spirit of the Serpent (Satan)
In the Bible, 666 is the number of talents of gold Solomon collected each year (see 1 Kings 10:14, 2 Chronicles 9:13 and also in Ezra 2:13. It was used by king Solomon, after he turned to pagan gods and the occult, late in his life, causing God to become very angry with him . The sorcerers believed it represented the footprint of a special kind of DEMON called a trud and used it for ceremonies both to call up demons and to keep them away” The six pointed star is used as a “stand-by for magicians and alchemists. The sorcerers believed it represented the footprints of a special kind of DEMON called a "trud" and used it in ceremonies both to call up demons and to keep them away” (O. J. Graham, The
Six Pointed Star, New Puritan Library, 1988, p.35). Bill Schnoebelen, a former Satanist, tells us, “To the sorcerer, the hexagram is a powerful tool to invoke Satan.” In fact, the word “hex” -- as to put a “hex” or “curse” on people -- comes from this word. If you examine the so-called “Star of David,” or hexagram, closely, you will discover something astonishing. It has six points, forms six equilateral triangles, and in its interior forms a six sided hexagon -- thus it reveals the number of Satan the devil, or the beast of Revelation -- 66, and 6 -- 666 !!!
In the Bible, 666 is the number of Adonikam's descendants who return to Jerusalem and Judah from the Babylonian exile (see Ezra 2:13). Adonikam is a Biblical figure whom the Lord sets up, one of those "which came with Zerubbabel" (Ezra 2:13). His "children," or retainers, numbering 666, came to Jerusalem (8:13). In all of the accounts in the Hebrew Bible that mention Zerubbabel, he is always associated with the high priest who returned with him, Joshua (Jeshua) son of Jozadak (Jehozadak). Together, these two men led the first wave of Jewish returnees from exile and began to rebuild the Temple (Ezra). It is history repeating itself. The bible tell us that when they return without God permission God punished them and destroyed the temple. They keep denying God oath and the destniey of the Israelite who follow will be the same of those who disobeyed God and told them not to build the temple. Even Jesus in the bible told them to God will destroy the temple stone by stone.
In Kabbalistic Judaism, 666 is the number which represents the creation and perfection of the world. The world was created in 6 days, and there are 6 cardinal directions (North, South, East, West, Up, Down).
The hexagram, like the pentagram, was and is used in practices of the occult and ceremonial magic and is attributed to the 7 "old" planets outlined in astrology.
The six-pointed star is commonly used both as a talisman[6] and for conjuring spirits and spiritual forces in divers forms occult magic. Seal of Solomon
In the 17th century, it became a popular practice to put Magen Davids on the outside of Jewish synagogues to identify them as Jewish houses of worship in much the same way that a cross identified a Christian house of worship.
The so-called “Star of David” gained popularity as a symbol of Judaism when it was adopted as the emblem of the Zionist movement in 1897, but the symbol continued to be very controversial for many years. When the modern state of Israel was founded in 1948, there was much debate over whether this symbol should be used on the flag.
A year prior to the First Zionist congress, Herzl had written in his 1896 Der Judenstaat: “We have no flag, and we need one. If we desire to lead many men, we must raise a symbol above their heads. “
As God’s people, we should have NO PART in the use of these perverted and demonic symbols which have been the trademark of pagans, witches, and practitioners of the occult. That includes both the falsely portrayed “Star of David,” which has nothing to do with David, or the so-called “Christian cross,” which has nothing whatever to do with the true Christ, Yeshua the Messiah, who died on an upright pole and not a cross! Revelation Chapter 13 – Paragraph 16 & 17 “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. If you apply the prophecy to the holy land, the mark of the beast is the Star of David of Israel, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads can be interpreted as the Israeli identification such as ID and passports, and currency and the flag in above their heads. If you apply the prophecy to global world order, the US is controlled by Zionist who control the US congress and the US Treasury department (including the IRS) and will impose sanctions against any person or a bank in a nation that opposes Israel. The politicians in many European and Middle East governments are blackmailed or forced to support Israel or at least not oppose it and some of them actually had to pay Israel for the mistakes of their ancestors. All major financial centers in US and UK are controlled by Zionists. Israeli monitoring probes are placed in all major US & UK telecom points (usually dark boxes named with the words “friends’). All major government and financial applications are run on Oracle databases that have backdoors with full access of the Mossad. (Larry Ellison, The founder and the chairman of Oracle is one of the strongest Zionist Supporters of Israel with strong links to the Mossad). That is how a small country like Israel, gather information on all major politicians and uses pressure points to get them to do what they want. Lately the arrogance of Netanyahu, the president of the Antichrist (Israel) has revealed who control the US. It became evident by the fact that a foreign country president come and speaks to the US congress against the will of the US president, this is unprecedented action, it illustrate that there is no real US independence and that US financial and military and foreign policy resources are controlled by Israel. The president have no real powers and limited in his action and opposition to Israel. All Middle East wars, regime propping and changes where promoted the Antichrist Israel and his Zionists
The Jewish Dragon with 666 Mark and 7 heads (Astrological heads) Jews do not believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah, therefore, they are still looking for the Messiah to come. The Messiah they seek and will proclaim will be the one Christians known as the Antichrist. “Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times.” —Daniel 9:25 From the Temple Institute Website: The Sanhedrin calls upon all groups who work in the area of Temple and Temple Mount-related research and activity, to begin to prepare detailed architectural plans for the construction of the Holy Temple, towards the goal of its establishment in its proper place. - Prof. Hillel Weiss, R. Chaim Richman, Spokesmen for the Sanhedrin Jews and Rabbis believe that "jesus is a false prophet" and that his was actually a criminal. And the Messiah of the Christians is a False Messhiah (Antichrist) Revelation Chapter 13 – Paragraph 16 & 17 “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. His rule begins with him hunting down every person, not just believers (Rev 12:13). He will seduce or force those in the holy land into taking the Mark of the Beast (666) without which they will not be able to buy what they need (Rev 9:1-12=Rev 13:16-18). Who today control the world banking and trade? Who hunts all those who oppose Israel? US enforces global sanctions against any country that threatens Israel? The US government is the enforcer and Israel the Antichrist. You just have to see who head the treasury department, the IRS and Federal Reserve, Wall Street, the City (UK), the penalties against European and other banks who do not conform to the US demands of control
He will also go to war with the nations that resist his rule. More than one third of the population will be killed in the war that results (Dan 8:24=Dan 11:44=Rev 9:13-21). Given this total control and subjugation, his iron rule will bring a form of peace and prosperity. That Antichrist is the Jewish Messiah. Jesus and Paul predicted this deceptive "peace and safety" would be in place right before great destruction from God comes and brings the end of the Antichrist' reign (Mt 24:38-39; 1The 5:3). Revelation 13:5-8 declares, "The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months. He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world." Who matches this, who has control over the media and corrupts the Christian teachings and deny Jesus Christ message and say his is a bastard son, a criminal and a false prophet? The Zionist Extremist Jews, Atheist
Revelations 13: 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast. The Dragon, the Serpent and the Beast are all different Names to Satan and the Antichrist As you will see the Beast, the Snake and the Dragon are the main symbol of the Israel The Similarity and Origins of Symbols
Old European Jewish Temple.
The Satanic Goat Symbol
Revelation 12 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 ..The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. 6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. 7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down— that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. The Dragon is the Devil, the Child is the Christ and the woman is Mother Mary The Dragon, Jewish Temple Elite tried to end his message by killing him, but God promised second coming. The history will repeat itself, except this time Jesus Christ will be victorious over the Antichrist or the new incarnation of Satan (the Dragon, the Jewish Temple and Roman Empire of our time which is Israel and the US Government. The woman is definitely not Jewish Israel as the Zionist would have you believe, it clearly state Jesus Christ where the Jews and atheist Israelis deny. You will also see that the snake and the dragon (flying serpent) are one of the main extremist Jewish symbols Again the Antichrist is a Master Deceiver There is no doubt that the Antichrist is the spirit and force of the devil. Throughout the Scriptures, the serpent generally represents the devil. It was in the form of a snake that the devil first manifested himself to the human race (Genesis 3:1); hence the symbol was also used in Revelation 20:2, where he is called "the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan."
The Bible says that "the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made" (Genesis 3:1). Perhaps this is why Jesus commands us to be "wise as serpents, and harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16). In order to be as "wise as serpents," we must understand how they operate and how to not be fooled by their words. Satan is also able to manifest himself through some human medium including a pastor who corrupt the teachings of the Christs (like John Hagee a Zionist Pastors who claim that Jesus is not the Messiah and other writers who aim to corrupt and revise history of the killing of Jesus and the prophets and promote war mongering and killing of other nations with eat other.) a group of people (council of elderly Zion), an organization (the AIPAC lobby) or a country to advertise his values, using deceit to manipulate the masses. And worse, he will be very effective. Master Counterfeiter Satan too is a clever counterfeiter. In Revelation 12:9 he is called "that old serpent, ... which deceiveth the whole world." For every truth of God, Satan has a convincing counterfeit. He counterfeit the Holy Spirit and tongues and love but his intentions are evil. They come in evangelical clothing spreading hate, fear, racism and war instead of love and peace and human equality. Satan is most dangerous and effective when he is imitating God's messengers. "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14). Israel claims to be the only democracy in the Middle East and human rights beacon while its US controlled media hide the fact that After world war 2, no nation has been behind so many civil and international wars as much as Israel and its Zionist lobbies in the US. They have killed directly and indirectly more innocent civilians than any other nation in the world. The operation is to create divisions between religions and nations to rule. They cannot rule if the world is united and powerful. You see in the Zionist media (Fox news), they attack everyone except Israel. If you want to know who controls the media just see the only group that is not attacked by its writers and broadcasters. In US you can viciously attack the most power men, the presidents and the congress from both parties, but no one can attack Israel and if you do so, you will be silenced. The Bible itself alludes to the existence of flying serpents. One prophecy states: "For out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice [viper], and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent" (Isaiah 14:29).
The bible warned us about the wolf dressed as a lamb Israel claims to want to achieve world peace but all their symbols of powers are is demonic.
The Sword of Satan The real Israel power symbol of wolves, serpents and death What they mean is Jewish peace on the expense of the Gentiles (Other nations) The first question found in Scripture is posed by the serpent, who sought to discredit God's word. "Hath God said?" (Genesis 3:1), he asked Eve. From that first insidious query to the present, Satan has been ever casting suspicion on the Word of God to undermine the faith of God's children. Sin, suffering, and death entered the world after Satan succeeded in leading our first parents to disbelieve God's word. Planting seeds of doubt regarding the dependability of Scripture remains the devil's primary war tactic. Israeli Mossad linked Pastors who corrupt God’s word are the devil’s worshipers. When Jesus did combat with the arch villain in the wilderness of temptation, He deflected every assault with Scripture. The serpent trembles when God's people take hold of the living sword of His Word (Hebrews 4:12)! Power Over Serpents Luke 10:19 states, "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." And Psalm 91:13 declares, "Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet." Just as God saved Paul from the venom of that serpent, He will save us from the poison of sin. However, we are never to deliberately seek out snakes to flirt with disaster. That would be tempting the Lord (Matthew 4:7).
Most Famous Verse Probably one of the most well-known, beloved, and memorized verses in the Bible is John 3:16. But if you were to ask the average American Christian what are the two verses that precede John 3:16, they cannot tell you, because the Pastors are either afraid of the Zionist Lobby or bought by them. Yet that immortal verse is actually the continuation of a thought begun in the preceding two verses. Here they are together: "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:14-16). These three verses together encapsulate the entire great controversy in the cosmic conflict between the serpent and the Lord. Let's look at the original story, to which Jesus was alluding was the people of Israel at that time that rejected God and the same people of Israel repeating the same sin. True Jewish people of Israel will serve the divine and will only come in peace. The current fate of violent and material State of Israel that is controlling the nations around them via the control of America is destined for destruction as God promised them and us in his holy books. "And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water, and our soul loatheth this light bread. And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died" (Numbers 21:5-6). Remember that sin entered the world when the serpent succeeded in tempting our first parents to doubt God's word. In this story, after the children of Israel rejected God's bread (a symbol for Jesus and the Word), then the serpents bit them. It is the Word of God that keeps people from sin (Psalm 119:11). Let's read on: "Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said unto Moses, Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass that, if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived" (Numbers 21:7-9). "All who have ever lived upon the earth have felt the deadly sting of 'that old serpent, called the devil, and Satan.' Revelation 12:9. To identify the snake is the most important part of knowing how to overcome it is satanic poisonous thoughts. This age poison is Zionism, Israel, illuminati, American right-wing war mongers. Only when the Jews repent and stand up to their oppressors from hijacking their religion and their fate that God will save them. Many nations worshiped serpents as gods of fertility and mystical power. And over time, the Israelites began to imitate their neighbors and to treat this relic of God's forgiveness as a deity in and of itself (2 Kings 18:3-4). The bronze serpent Moses had forged and elevated on the stick somehow managed to survive all the wanderings and battles of the Israelites for more than 700 years. Like the ancient Israelites, millions around the world today are inadvertently worshiping the serpent while thinking they are worshiping the Lord. They have slowly, unwittingly been sucked into base idolatry.
Israel today crazed with pride and anger. And their wars are named as such grapes of wrath. It is the incarnate and the spirit of Antichrist Revelation 12:12 declares: "Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." However, the Bible promises that ultimately Satan and his angels will be cast into the lake of fire. This also holds true for those who follow him. "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" (Matthew 23:33). This fierce prophetic symbol. Early Bible scholars have believed, represents the powerful Jewish elites who opposed the Christ and had him killed. The description found in Revelation 13 matches Israel in every detail.
United Israel World Union emblem, led by the lion the beast According to the prophecy, Israel would receive a deadly wound and look like it was about to perish. However, right before the return of Jesus, the prophecy indicates it would come back to life. Which is did in 1942. It would regain world-wide power. Revelation 13:3 Another powerful nation would even come to its aid (USA Government), enforcing the Israel authority and Antichrist teachings. See Revelation 13:11-12

Dragons: A Symbol of Evil in European Synagogue Decoration? January 30, 2015 By Medievalists.net On the other hand is Satan's government that is described as a beast in Revelation 13: 1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. The Zionist Movement The leopard is a cunning, stealthy hunter. When a leopard stalks prey, it keeps a low profile and slinks through the grass or bush until it is close enough to launch an attack. The leopard beast is illusive, they have spots uses camouflage patterns. Leopards are nocturnal animals, meaning they are active at night. These predators are sneaky. Most of the time, leopards are in areas where there are many patches of light and shadow. If they were one solid color, they'd really stand out. By breaking up their pattern, they are less obvious. Leopards probably have spots because the spots help camouflage them in the foliage of their habitats.
One interpretation is that the Leopard is Israel, The bear is a symbol of Russia and the Lion is a symbol of UK. Israel was founded by the Hybrid (leopard) Jews and culture from western Zionists in UK (lion) by Belfour declaration was by UK and Zionist Russians (bear) where behind the immigration to Palestine and the main force of Zionism taking over western Jews. Another interpretation is the leopard is Israel born of the bear South of Russia (Khazaria) and the Lion of Juda Eastern Jews vs. Ashkenazi Jews. Ashkenazi Jews represent the bulk of modern Jewry, estimated at between 70% and 80% of all Jews worldwide Leopard Symbolism The leopard is a symbol of hybridization, infidelity and stealthy and brazen evil is a theme found in Jewish sources. The Leopard symbolism refers to the leopard’s nature of stealthily stalking its prey and brazen aggressiveness. This technique enables them to catch a wide variety of prey. The Talmud refers to leopard-like behavior when describing a dark period in the history of the Jewish people: The Lord said, “I said that Israel should be considered before Me as the cherubs, and they set themselves as a leopard. 30 Another version: R . Avahu said, The Lord said, “Even though they put themselves as a leopard, they are considered before Me as the cherubs.” (Kid-dushin 70a) . God wanted the Jewish people to be as cherubs, which represent innocence and fidelity. But instead, the Jewish people “set themselves as a leopard.” What does this mean? It means that Israel today is the leopard that God spoke of and that God will punish for breaking the oath as he did in the past. Some explain that just as the leopard is full of dark spots, so too were the Jewish people spotted with sinners.31 But Rashi explains that the Jews were disloyal to God in the same way that a leopard is disloyal to its partner.32 This may be another reason why the leopard represents the Israel in Daniel’s prophecy and in Jewish mystical thought. The Jews’ preference for keeping apart from other nations led to resentment and persecution.33 The infidelity of the leopard is also inherently linked by some to the
leopard’s brazenness. The progeny of forbidden relationships, such as a mother and son, brother and sister, etc., is known as a mamzer. According to the Mishna, this person will also possess certain character traits: “A mamzer is brazen” (Masekhet Kalla 2).34
Can the Cushite change his skin, or the leopard his spots? So too, can you, in whom evil is ingrained, do good? ( Jer. 13:23) The Animal is a symbol of infidelity or (metaphorical) hybrid between the lion (blond) and the panther (black black). A prominent fifteenth-century rabbinic authority write that the leopard is is born from a wild boar (dirty spirit) and a lioness (predatory animal).(Rabbi Ovadiah MiBartenura, commentary to Pirkei Avot 5:20; also Rabbi Shimon ben Tzemach Duran, Magen Avot 3:4). That is the leopard offspring is a hybrid and different from the parents. Ant-Zionist Rabbis interprets this explanation allegorically, writing that the lion, here represents the Jewish people and culture. With the bore represents the culture of material greed and corruption. The leopard therefore represents Israel, which caused the adulteration of the wisdom of Torah with the culture of evil.
Back to the Dragon: Instead of one head, the Dragon's system has 7 heads The Jewish Dragon and the Menorah are clearly influenced by the original ancient Hindu mythology.
The Dragon is at the heart of Jewish Symbols and Rituals
Jewish Art Showing the Lighting the Menorah with Dragon Fire. The Jewish seven-branched candlestick and its symbolism. This illustrate the Corruption of Judaism where their actual source of knowledge, wealth and power from the Dragon (the flying serpent) or the Satan rather than God.
The Jewish Kabala Dragon
Kabbalistic Tree of Life with 2 serpents and a dragon “Qabalah� is the spelling generally used to indicate the use of Jewish Kabbalah as an occult and practical magical system. The people of Israel where called the people of the Serpent, before they were called the Jews. Even after sent God to them Moses, despite the new name, the ones who rejected Moses and later, Jesus are still the people of the serpent.
Dragons: A Symbol of Evil in European Synagogue Decoration?
Detail of a dragon with its tail circling a caption, from a Hebrew festival prayer book, Italian rite, 15th century, Add MS 16577, f. 44v By Ilia Rodov, Ars Judaica, Vol.1 (2005) Introduction: At first glance, images of evil would seem to be an unexpected element in synagogue art. Only during a relatively short period in eighteenth-century eastern-European synagogues were paintings of predatory beasts and birds catching their prey depicted to convey the idea of the People of Israel pursued by enemies. The theme of piety oppressing evil was also developed in depictions of the stork, hasidah in Hebrew, a symbol of a hasid (“pious�), catching a snake, a primary symbol of Satan and evil. However, most of the symbols and allegories used in synagogues represent Torah, divine dispensation of worldly life, undying faith, remembrance of the Sanctuary, longing for the Holy Land, messianic expectations, and moral virtues. Such a minor part of synagogue representations of antagonistic powers contrasts with the thematic repertoire of church art, where the scenes of evil in the form of anthropoid devils and satanic beasts punishing the heretics, threatening the faithful, but being repressed by the true faith were frequent. Yet, archaeological finds from medieval synagogues in France and Germany and several images from eastern European synagogues in the early modern period suggest that symbols of evil in synagogues have afar lengthier history. Modern Use of the Snake and the Dragon (flying Serpent) in Israeli Military and Airforce Power Symbols . It is the source of their power. Israel was not built in peace, it was build using force and continues to use force to sustain its existence.
The Dragon is everywhere in Jewish Religion, Tradition and Arts
The origins of the zoomorphic representations of evil can be traced back to dragon images from the earliest Ashkenazi synagogues. Reliefs of a dragon and a lion were discovered on the southern façade of the medieval synagogue in Rouen. The dragon carved on the base of a half-column has a canine head, partly damaged, a protuberant tongue, a long body with a small wing, and a serpent-like coiled tail ending in a tassel. The lion relief is found in an upside-down position under a column. The lion’s additional body attached to its head relates to the scheme of “one head – two bodies” characteristic of Romanesque sculpture. Basing herself on the stylistic resemblance of the reliefs in Rouen to the architectonic decoration in Norman churches of the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries, Maylis Baylé dated the dragon and lion to the period of the building of the synagogue between ca. 1096 and 1116. A dragon menorah with 7 heads:
According the book dreams of subversion in Medieval Jewish Art and Literature. The Dragon is the fulcrum between the divine and the demonic. The Christian Art of the Demonic Dragons are very similar to the Jewish Art of the Dragon. In later years to avoid association of the Synagogue with Satan, the Dragon art in Jewish tradition were displayed less and less in public, to avoid conflict with the Christians

http://britishlibrary.typepad.co.uk/digitisedmanuscripts/royal/page/2/ The Anatomy of a Dragon Happy St George’s Day, everyone! For some images of this patron saint of England, Portugal, Russia, and many other nations, please see our post from last year. Today, though, we thought we would turn our attention to St George’s famous opponent, the dragon.
Detail of a miniature of St George and the dragon, from the Beaufort/Beauchamp Hours, c. 1401, Royal MS 2 A XVIII, f. 5v Dragons are near-ubiquitious in medieval manuscripts. They take pride of place in bestiaries and herbals, books of history and legend, and Apocalypse texts, to name a few. They serve as symbols, and their physical characteristics can vary widely. Cinematic and literary depictions of dragons today are fairly consistent; they are almost always shown as reptilian, winged, fire-breathing creatures (in a word, Smaug). But this was by no means constant in the medieval period. Let’s have a look at a very common medieval trope – of the dragon as the nemesis of a saint or angel. Below we can see dragons facing off against St George (again), and the Archangel Michael. All these examples are drawn from late 15th century manuscripts, but their dragons are very different, and range from a lizard-y animal to a winged leonine creature and a demon. The idea of the dragon as a fearsome foe for all godly and righteous beings stretches back to the lateantique source material that later developed into the 12th and 13th century text of the bestiary. The
book of beasts tells us that the dragon is a variety of serpent, is ‘larger than all other animals in the world’, lives in caves, and possesses great strength in its tail. Nothing, ‘not even the elephant’, is safe from the dragon, which lies in wait and then suffocates the captured elephant within its coils. The ominously-curled tail of the dragon is often shown to great advantage in the miniatures illustrating this passage (see particularly the first image below).
Detail of a bas-de-page scene of a mother elephant giving birth in water to avoid the dragon circling overhead, from the Queen Mary Psalter, England (London?), 1310 – 1320, Royal MS 2 B VII, f. 188v In Christian symbolism the elephant is an icon of virtue and chastity. In other eastern religions and Asia, the elephant is considered a symbol of happiness, life and good luck. The Bible text also makes explicit the connection between the dragon and the devil, aligning the fantastical creature with evil, deception, ‘vainglory and human pleasures’. We see this connection repeated again and again in early manuscripts, particularly those concerned with describing and explaining evil.

"The Great Red Dragon or London Money Power" by L. B. Woolfolk (must read)
The book was published in 1889 by an American Baptist preacher, based on decades of research, and suppressed for years. It covers the rise and influence of the Jewish "London Money Power", and not only the banking power wielded by these Jewish "money kings", but primarily the control and monopolization of all major spheres of industry and commerce throughout the world in the 1700-1800s by this cabal, via their unlimited reserves of capital -- starting with the British East India company, and then expanding to shipping, railroads, mining, crude oil, real estate, farming, etc. "This is L.B. Woolfolk's suppressed book The Great Red Dragon or London Money Power (published in 1889) which gives the history of the rise of the London money power, the resulting imperialism of the capital and the connection this Great Red Dragon plays in biblical prophecies. This amazing book which contains a treasure trove of information that charts the acquisition of the world's wealth that was necessary for the International Judaics to then go on to use to dominate this world. The "money power" is a historic phrase used by many famous people including presidents to describe the gigantic banking trust located in the City of London, the richest square mile in the world. They are identified as the remarkable personalities that the author refers to International Judaics. And as the reader shall see, they are neither ALL Jews, nor are they anything other than "Jews". Also in this book you shall see the concept of gentile "useful idiots" laid out, though the author does not at the early time of this writing (circa 1890) know that it is something that the International Judaics would hone to perfection, as a means to hide their absolute domination in all fields wherein the "gentile" useful idiots would be ostensively placed at the (visible) head of corporations and dominions. This work is the outgrowth of a life of thought, largely directed to the study of Prophecy, History, and Political Economy. Indeed, the work is the product of original thought. Its historical portion is the history of an Imperialism whose existence has been hitherto unrecognized. Its remedy is based upon principles of Political economy that have never before been presented to the
world. Its Prophetic Exposition is part of a System of Prophetic Interpretation that is entirely new. The Author may therefore claim the indulgence due to a pioneer, whose movement is over a pathway unsmoothed by the progress of earlier thought. As no history of the London Money Power has ever been written, the author has been under the necessity of gathering his facts from newspaper items, and from the statements of individuals whose reliability is above question. His store of facts has been constantly increasing down to the present time. Some important facts he has learned since the publication of this work began; other facts he learned too late for them to appear in the present edition. No doubt, in every community facts are known which illustrate the course of the Money Power in this country. These facts will doubtless soon be published; and it is hoped that ere long a full and connected history of the Rise of the Money Power may be given to the world. 180 pages.

According to the Kabbalah, in the future world to come— when the Jewish Utopia or World Kingdom of the Jews is realized—the Feast of Sukkot will be the occasion for a great banquet in which the giant Great Serpent Leviathan will be honored. Now there are said to be two Leviathan serpents, a male and a female. The female Leviathan will be slain and eaten and its illuminated skin (the Great Serpent is said by the rabbis to be the “Light of the World”) will be used to cover the huge tent where the banquet will take place.
The Kether (Crown) supreme God of the Jewish Kabbalah is discovered to be the Great Serpent.
As prescribed in the Talmud (Baba Bathra 74b), the Feast of Sukkot therefore always concludes each year with a prayer recital by the Jews: “May it be your will, Lord our God and God of our forefathers, that just as I have fulfilled and dwelt in this Sukkah (hut or primitive dwelling), so may I merit in the coming year to dwell in the Sukkah of the skin of Leviathan, next year in Jerusalem!”
And so the prayer of all Jews who observe Sukkot around the world is to dwell under the covering of the Great Serpent, Leviathan, the one whom all Christians know to be Satan, described in the Book of Revelation as “that old Serpent, Satan and the Devil.” The Whore of Babylon, which rides the beast of those that say they are Jews but are not and do lie; and her demise is shortly coming –
The Red Jews (The Rothschilds) The Red Jews (Khazars) prophecy was popular during the medieval era until about 1600. That the Red Jews were an epochal threat to Christendom, and would invade Europe during the tribulations leading to the end of the world. The Red Jews were Jews of Khazaria a nation that appear in vernacular sources in Germany during the medieval era until about 1600. According to these texts, the Red Jews were an epochal threat to Christendom, and would invade Europe during the tribulations leading to the end of the world.

Arms of Rothschild (Red Jew) family Coat of arms of the Rothschild family. Adopted 1822 (granted by Emperor Francis I of Austria) after financing European wars. The Supporters are the Dexter: A lion rampant (beast) and the Sinister: a unicorn Argent (representation of magic) The first member of the family who was known to use the name "Rothschild" was Izaak Elchanan Rothschild, born in 1577. The name was Red Jew, when they went to Germany it became rot Schild, meaning "Red Shield". The Rothschilds are the Jewish money behind the creation of the State of Israel and many central banks around the world but mainly in US, UK and Germany.
In the book: “The Rothschilds: A Family Portrait” By Frederic Morton, he writes; To put it crassly, Edmond is the richest Rothschild and probably the most multiple millionaire in Europe. This amiable young carrottop (remember his redheaded great-grandfather James?) From this special breed of Jew came the saying "RedSheild" [a helmet of protection]. One reference state they were originally from the Jews of Khazaria. In the 1700's a Khazar changed his name to Rothschild [RED JEW - RED SHEILD] and adopted Judaism religion to go on to be the richest family on earth. In the book : The Rothschilds: A Family Portrait By Frederic Morton, he writes To put it crassly, Edmond is the richest Rothschild and probably the most multiple millionaire in Europe. This amiable young carrottop (remember his redheaded great-grandfather James?) The association of Jews with red hair has a long history, dating back even to the Bible, in which rugged Esau and the harp-playing warrior king David were both believed to be redheads. Some more sinister Jews, too, were thought to be “gingers”: Judas and Shylock are often depicted with flaming locks. Red hair is also found amongst the Ashkenazi Jewish populations. In European culture, prior to the 20th century, red hair was often seen as a stereotypically Jewish trait: during the Spanish Inquisition, all those with red hair were identified as Jewish. In Italy, red hair was associated with Italian Jews, and Judas was traditionally depicted as red-haired in Italian and Spanish art. Writers from Shakespeare to Dickens would identify Jewish characters by giving them red hair. The stereotype that red hair is Jewish remains in parts of Eastern Europe and Russian The following is a excerpts and comments from Roger Price’s article on Ginger (Red) Jews The Jewish connection to red hair turns out to be quite complex. The first possible references to redheaded Jews appear, not surprisingly, in the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible. Two well-known personalities, Esau and David, are described as admoni, meaning red or ruddy. (See Gen. 25:25; 1 Sam. 16:12, 17:42.) Charles Dickens’ treatment of Fagin in Oliver Twist was quite different. The original version of his novel, published in 1837, contained over 250 references to Fagin as “the Jew,” and Dickens did not mean it in a nice way. Nor did he temper his portrayal with humanistic utterances, ugliness, criminality and suggested child predation that marked Fagin as an archetypal villain. That is, the hair choice could simply have been a conventional, accessible and easily understood “marker of low moral character, of fiery hot tempers, of violence, of suspiciousness.” (See also, here.)
Jews have had their own post-biblical fictional redheads, too. In Yiddish folklore, di royte yidn were redheaded Jewish fighters who were strong, brave, independent warriors and could rescue their fellow Jews from whatever was the persecution of the day. What the percentage of red-headed Jews is today is not at all clear. What is clearer and more important is that Jews come in all shapes and all sizes and all shades, with different aptitudes, attitudes and orientations. Whether Jews started as one wandering family that settled in Egypt, grew over time, and was forged into a nation in the wilderness, or, alternatively, emerged from Canaanite tribes, the Jewish People today is truly a mixed multitude. Jews are a multi-national, multi-racial people whose members are bound together in different ways and to different extents by an uneven mix of religion and culture, language and literature, history and choice, and, yes, genetic material too
Red hair is not, however, a marker of Jewishness. Red hair is neither restricted to Jews, nor is it predominant among them. Natural hair grows on Jews in many colors, maybe not as many as the colors on Joseph’s coat (see Gen. 37:3), but more than enough to dispel unwarranted stereotypes. It is symbol rather than genetic identification. The Historical reference is to some of the Khazars' nomadic people adoption of Judaism, and they are described as having red hair and have immigrated to Israel after 1948. It is important to note that The tribes[39] that were to comprise the Khazar empire were not an ethnic union, but a congeries of steppe nomads. According to Oppenheim, Samuel A (1994). "Jews�, The Khazar state was, the only Jewish state to rise between the Fall of the Second Temple (67-70 CE) and the establishment of Israel (1948),[161] and its example stimulated messianic aspirations for a return to Israel as early as Judah Halevi.[162] In the time of the Egyptian vizier Al-Afdal Shahanshah (d.1121), one Solomon ben Duji, often identified as a Khazarian Jew,[163] attempted to stir up a messianic effort for the liberation of, and return of all Jews to, Palestine. He wrote to many Jewish communities to enlist support. He eventually moved to Kurdistan where his son Menachem some decades later assumed the title of Messiah and, raising an army for this purpose, took the fortress of Amadiya north of Mosul. His project was opposed by the rabbinical authorities and he was poisoned in his sleep. One theory maintains that the Star of David, until then a decorative motif or magical emblem, began to assume its national value in late Jewish tradition from its earlier symbolic use by Menachem.[164] Israeli believe that they will not survive if they integrate with other nations and they must have their own. It is the core behind extremist Jewish racism. This is part of the symbolism of the olive oil that is lit in the menora: Other liquids mix together, but olive oil remains separate. So, too, Israel is separate from other nations. (Shemot Rabba 36:1)
Anti-Zionism is Not Anti-Semitism – Aharon Cohen, Orthodox Jewish Rabbi Revelation 3:9 states: “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.” Plainly, this is a reference of the Khazar impostors. “And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast” (Revelation 13:3). The elite Jewish bankers where almost killed in Europe during World War 2. They were wounded but they survived by the manipulating the US and UK to give them more power and to create their own countries to rule to oppress true Jews, the Arabs and the Christians. True Jews oppose the Israel and its apartheid policies, stealing other people’s land and homes and constant wars with their neighbors and Mossad assassinations, and feat & hate propaganda promote clash of civilizations between Islam and Christianity. Protestant and Catholics. Russia and Europe and so on…
http://www.truetorahjews.org/qanda/source1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neturei_Karta http://www.truetorahjews.org/qanda/source1 Where in the Torah does it say Jews can't have a state? April 6, 2008 Dear sir, Can you give me reference (in the torah and bible), where it says that the Jews are in exile and are not allowed to have a state? Biblical Verses Foretelling That God Will Send the Jews into Exile Deuteronomy 28:63 You shall be moved off the good land which you come to inherit, and God will scatter you among all the nations, from one end of the earth to the other. Leviticus 26:33 And if you do not listen to Me, and do not keep all these commandments… and I will scatter you among the nations, and send the sword after you, and your land will be desolate, and your cities destroyed. Deuteronomy 4:25 I call to witness today heaven and earth that you will perish quickly from the land that you are crossing over the Jordan to possess; you will not stay long on it…And God will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number in the nations where God will lead you. Deuteronomy 11:16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be seduced, and you turn away and serve other gods, and bow
to them. Then God will be angry at you, and He will close up the heavens and there will be no rain, and the earth will not give its produce, and you will perish quickly from upon the good land that God gives you. Deuteronomy 28:36 God will lead you and your king, whom you will appoint over you, to a nation you and your fathers did not know. False Prophets Corrupt or misuse Biblical Verses to justify the creation of Israel? Ezekiel 37:21-24 So says the Lord God, behold I will take the Children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from all sides, and I will bring them to their land…and My servant David will be king over them, one shepherd will be for all of them. This verse is does not talk about current Israel. It talked about David. This is a past event not a future event. But the Israelites again rose against God and were exiled as God promised. In fact Talmudic Sources Saying that Jews Are Forbidden to Return from Exile on Their Own and Create a State The Jews can only return to the holy land in peace and not through conflict. The Messiah will bring peace to the world and they can come back in peace. If the Jews try to create a state by force, they will fail. The corruption of the bible by false prophets is that they mislead Christians to say the we need to create Israel to speed the return of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, but the fact is only the Messiah of the peace can return the Jews back to Israel and if the Jews try to do it before that, they will suffer. Midrash Rabbah on Song of Songs 8:14 The redemption of the Jewish people is compared to the grain harvest, the grape harvest, the spice harvest, and to a woman giving birth. The common thread of all these metaphors is that they cannot be done too early. If grain is cut too early, it will not be good even as animal feed. If grapes are cut too early, they will not even be good to make vinegar. If spice is picked too early, it will not have a smell; it must be allowed to dry out on the tree. And if a woman gives birth prematurely, the baby will not live. So too, if the Jewish people hurries the end, they will not be successful, but at the proper time, may it be soon, they will be successful. Other Moments in History When Jews Attempted to End Exile in an Unauthorized Way The Tribe of Ephraim The Midrash Rabbah on Exodus (20:11) states that part of the tribe of Ephraim left Egypt thirty years before the Exodus, and met a bitter end: 300,000 of them were killed by the Philistines. The Midrash Rabbah on Song of Songs 2:7 says that these descendents of Ephraim transgressed the Oath. The Invaders The Book of Numbers (14:44) relates that a group of Jews undertook an unauthorized invasion of the Holy Land after the sin of the spies. Moses warned them, "Why do you transgress the command of God? It will not succeed!" The end was that "the Amalekites and the Canaanites who dwelt in that hill country came
out, and smote them and smashed them to utter destruction." The Targum Yonasan on Song of Songs 2:7 says that these invaders transgressed the Oath. Bar Kochba In the year 130 CE, Simeon Bar Kochba led a Jewish revolt against Rome and established a Jewish kingdom. This is another one of the cases listed by the Midrash when the oaths were transgressed. The Talmud (Sanhedrin 93b) says that when the Jewish Sages of that time realized that Bar Kochba was not the messiah, they killed him, putting a stop to his revolt. Famous Jewish Commentators and Legal Authorities Rashi (1040-1105) The prayer “God of salvations, in the four oaths” is a reference to the oaths of the Song of Songs. We ask God: Save us, for You have made us swear not to rebel against the nations, and we are keeping your oath in exile and bearing the yoke of exile. (Commentary to the Prayerbook) Rabbi Yishaya ben Eliyahu Di Trani (c. 1300) Living in the Holy Land is a meritorious act; nevertheless, the Jewish people must not all go up together with a strong hand, in an act similar to the ingathering of the exiles, for they are not permitted to hasten the end, until the Creator hastens our redemption. (Piskei Riaz, Kesubos 13:8) Rabbi Bachya ben Asher (d. 1340) We must follow in the footsteps of the Patriarchs and prepare ourselves to approach the gentiles with gifts, with soft speech and with prayer before God. But war is impossible, for God made the Jewish people swear not to wage wars against the nations. (Commentary to Genesis 32:3) Rabbi Yitzchak ben Sheishes (1326-1408) There is no doubt that traveling to the Holy Land is a meritorious act…but now, one of the Three Oaths God made the Jewish people swear is not to go up as a wall (immigrate in masses) (Responsa of the Rivash, Chapter 101) Rabbi Shlomo ben Shimon Duran (1400-1467) During exile, living in the Holy Land is not a general commandment for all Jews, but on the contrary it is forbidden, as the Talmud says in the last chapter of Kesubos, that this is one of the oaths that God made the Jews swear: that they not hurry the end and not go up as a wall. Go and see what happened to the children of Ephraim when they hurried the end! (Responsa of the Rashbash, Chapter 2) Rabbi Isaac Abarbanel (1437-1508) Abraham feared that his descendants would rise up to leave the exile before the time set by God...we must bear the yoke of the exile and live under the nations until the time of the End. (Yeshuos Meshicho v. 1, p. 11b) The Maharal of Prague (1520-1609) God made the Jewish people swear by the heavens and the earth not to leave exile before the time. For just as the heavens and the earth keep to the order of nature decreed by God, never changing, in the same way the Jewish people must keep the order of exile decreed by God. And just as the heavens and earth, if they were to change their nature and order, would bring havoc and destruction to the world, so
too if the Jewish people leaves the exile decreed on them by God it would mean destruction for them, God forbid. Therefore they must not violate the decree. (Netzach Yisroel, Chapter 24) Rabbi Chaim Ben Attar (1696-1743) The verse “I will scatter you among the nations” refers to the first oath, which mandates that the Jews remain scattered and not immigrate as a wall, with a strong hand, to resettle the Holy Land. (Ohr Hachaim Commentary to Leviticus 26:32-33) Rabbi Yonasan Eybeschutz (1690-1764) The Jewish people cries out to the nations, "Do not awaken an early ingathering of Israel! Even if all the Jews are ready to go to Jerusalem, and all the nations agree, still, God forbid that I should go there!” (Ahavas Yonasan) Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch (1808-1888) When the uprising led by Bar Kochba proved a disastrous error, it became essential that the Jewish people be reminded for all times of an important fact; namely, that they must never again attempt to restore their national independence by their own power; they were to entrust their future as a nation solely to Divine Providence. (Commentary on the Prayerbook, p. 703)
https://dragondreaming.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/yahweh-dragon/ Is the Biblical Yahweh actually a Dragon? All of the evidence seems to say so. By Draconic Chronicler Before dismissing this out of hand, I would ask everyone read the whole post, and read it from the premise that Yahweh and El (Elohim) the actual Creator are two separate entities, (as many serious Biblical scholars have proposed), with Yahweh actually being the one of many Bene Elohim, which also includes the creature Satan, long associated with flying serpents and dragons. I repeat, I am not proposing that “God is a Dragon”, but that the Creator (El, Elohim), created “dragons” as assistants, that have been mistaken as our Gods around the world, including the “Watcher Dragon” of the Hebrews called Yahweh, who through a misunderstanding of scripture is now worshipped by most Christians and Jews as the actual creator. Here are the facts: 1. The highest heavenly creatures are called Seraphim, a word which the highly esteemed and scholarly Jewish Encyclopaedia states means “fiery flying serpent”, though medieval Christians have transformed these “dragons” into the more familiar, swan-winged, “cartoon” angels of popular culture. When the ancient Jews translated the word Seraphim into Greek, the word they used was drakon, which is the word our modern “dragon” is derived from. 2. The only graven image/idol Yahweh ever permits is that of a “fiery flying serpent”, obviously his personal image, This image has supernatural powers, and Yahweh allows it to be freely worshipped in Solomon’s temple. As soon as the idol is broken, disaster befalls Israel and it has never recovered until the late 20th century.
3. The flood story of Genesis is believed by most Biblical scholars to be a “retelling” of near identical, yet far older Sumerian versions in which the God name Enlil, who is also subservient to a greater Creator God is called “a Great Serpent-Dragon of Heaven”. His hymns also associate him with rainbows as we see in Genesis, and he is called “the good shepherd”. 4. Some scholars acknowledge that the Name Yahweh comes from the Cannanite Dragon God Yaw, who like the Biblical Yahweh is a God of storms and floods, but is a “son” of the true Creator Elohim, also the name of the Creator in Genesis, not Yahweh. 5. Virtually every world culture had identified the winged intelligent dragon as a real creature, and most of the earliest cultures recognize it as the creature that brought them knowledge of agriculture and technology. This is also true in the Judaic legends with the reptilian “watchers”. 6. In Exodous, Yahweh leaves his dragon sized tent, and flies ahead of the Israelites to burn away impassable briars and scorpions. He marks the route by spewing smoke and fire. 7. Yahweh plops his huge dragon body in the bed of the Jordan River upstream to divert its flow so the Hebrews can cross its bed to attack Jericho. 8. He is specifically described spewing fire from his mouth and smoke from his nostrils, exactly like the dragon like Leviathan that the Bible states he “plays” with. (A female dragon?) 9. Many biblical passages imply that Yahweh physically consumed his meat offerings unlike the “fake” gods of other cultures. The Bible is very specific that Yahweh wanted salt on his meat as well, suggesting these offering were physically consumed and not merely burned to ashes. 10. Like many legendary dragons, Yahweh occasionally “consumes” humans as well, to include two of Aaron’s sons who prepared a sacrifice wrong. In scripture, Yahweh demanded the first born of all Israelites, but the bible says it was possible to pay him money instead, on a sliding scale, also indicating the universal dragon love of hoarding treasure. 11. The preferred prey of dragons in most cultures are “human virgins” for reasons which are not entirely understood. This trait is very apparent in the Bible as well, where Moses presents Yahweh with 32 Midianite virgins after the Israelite destruction of this tribe. No more is said of them so we can only assume they were “consumed” like Aaron’s sons. 12. The Persian Zoroastrians, whom share much religious doctrine with Christianity clearly state in their own scriptures (the Denkard), that the “God” of Judaism and Christianity who watched of the Israelites and provided their laws was a dragon, and brother to the dragon Ahriman in their own religion. Interestingly, the storm dragon of Sumeria who flooded the world happened to be brother to the dragon Enki who lived the the garden of Eden and who “tricked” a man named “Adam” out of eternal life. 13. Some Christian gnostics also state Yahweh is a dragon in their scriptures. 14. Jesus stated the Pharisees were worshipping a creature that was NOT his father. Many Christians claim Jesus meant Satan, but this does not make sense, for the Jews clearly worshipped Yahweh and clearly recognized Satan as a distinctly different creature which they definitely DID NOT worship. Could Jesus have been referring to the Yahweh dragon? After all he did not call to Yahweh from the cross, but to El. The first paragraphs of the Bible show these are two different entities, for El’s creation story is completely different from Yahweh’s, far less scientific one. 15. Yahweh is described with “feathers”, as depicted on most of the most ancient dragon wings and this idea lasted until medieval times, after which dragons became less commonly seen. Saphira in Eragon is reminiscent of these ancient dragon depictions, and probably inspired the design of this character. Actually there is enough evidence of Yahweh “being a dragon” to literally “fill a book”, (as it indeed has, in my upcoming one on this precise subject does), but thought this is an adequate amount of Biblical facts to gender an interesting discussion.
Can anyone refute these Biblical facts? And shouldn’t Christians want to embrace these facts, for the worldwide belief in dragons as beneficent supernatural entities has far more theological and even scientific precedent than “a bearded old guy on a golden throne? Might it not be a good idea to recreate the fiery flying serpent image Yahweh ordered Moses to make, something very good that cured sickness, and which Yahweh allowed to be worshipped in his temple for centuries, Israel prospering during all the time it was worshipped, and was virtually annihilated as soon as it was broken? And might there not be some volunteer virgins willing to appease Him for the good of all mankind, not to mention starting up a daily ration of unblemished calves and lambs like the good old days? And liquor. He asks for liquor in the Book of Genesis. (Actually a lot of the ancient Dragon Gods ask for liquor).

__________________________________________________________________
Many nations have legends of dragons and phoenix birds. The legends also include portrayals of their appearance even though dragons and phoenix birds can no more be seen. In legends these two animals are viewed as companions, signifying balanced harmony of male–female and even–odd qualities in nature.
The Bible refers to dragons and phoenix birds but most Bible versions do not properly translate the words. Thus far, Bible scholars are not persuaded these animals ever lived. This feeling is understandable but we think that everything written in Scripture was real at an earlier time, even if it is not presently with us. Dragons and phoenix birds are symbolic and prophetic. We shall explain this— and literal translations of Bible texts are provided as necessary.
According to legends, dragons and phoenix birds have flight ability, but the dragon’s flight ability is not explained. European legendary art shows dragons with wings but Asian dragon art doesn't show wings. Asian art shows clouds and stars when dragons fly in the sky, but there is no explanation how they could fly. Dragon flight is a mystery, for dragons were massive animals of enormous size.
Psalm 104 has a prophetic view of the New Earth and dragons will live again. One of the Hebrew names for the dragon is "Leviathan." Psalm 104:24-26, O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Yonder is the sea, great and wide, creeping things innumerable are there, living things both small and great. There go the ships, and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it.
God told Job of his success in creating the dragon in the Creation Days of old, which confirms many legends, such as the impossibility of catching Leviathan by the usual fishing methods. This is described in Job 41:1-2, Can you draw out Leviathan with a fish-hook, or press down its tongue with a cord? Can you put a rope in its nose, or pierce its jaw with a hook?
God created dragons so wonderfully that they are invulnerable to any attack by conventional weapons. They are invincible in combat. Job 41:7-10, Can you fill its skin with harpoons, or its head with fishing spears? Lay hands on it; think of the battle; you will not do it again! Any hope of capturing it will be disappointed; were not even the gods overwhelmed at the sight of it? No one is so fierce as to dare to stir it up ...
Dragons are evidently uncontrollable and fierce in nature; Job 41:3-6,13.
Dragons are strong and handsome (v 12), “I will not keep silence concerning its limbs, or its mighty strength, or its splendid frame.” Some say Leviathan is a crocodile because it has a crocodile’s face (v 14), “Who can open the doors of his face? There is terror all around its teeth.” But legends say that dragons also had elongated jaws and terrible teeth. The Bible says Leviathan is a sea animal (Ps. 104:26) but crocodiles cannot live in the sea. Apparently, Leviathan was an astonishing animal, more fantastic than crocodiles or any animals now on earth. Leviathan can only be explained as the dragon of ancient legends.
Legends portray dragons as snake-like in their body appearance. The neck of a dragon evidently sways back-and-forth like a snake so that victims seem to dance before his eyes; Job 41:22, In its neck abides strength, and terror dances before it.
A dragon’s undersides are like heavy armour (v 30), “Its underparts are like sharp potsherds; it spreads itself like a threshing sledge on the mire.” The skin of a dragon is hard (v 23), “The folds of its flesh cling together; it is firmly cast and immovable.” A dragon’s body has rows of scales attached to the skin. The Hebrew text says that dragon scales are the size of arm-shields; they are totally impenetrable and sealed airtight (vv 15-17),
Its back is made of shields in rows, shut up closely as with a seal. One is so near to another that no air can come between them. They are joined one to another, they clasp each other and cannot be separated.
A dragon’s body is made of very tough materials, heavy and hard enough to endure any attack by weapons. Even the inner flesh is hard. Job 41:24-29, Its heart is as hard as stone, as hard as the lower millstone. When it raises itself up the gods are afraid; at the crashing they are beside themselves. Though the sword reaches it, it does not avail, nor does the spear, the dart, or the javelin. It counts iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make it flee; sling-stones, for it, are turned to chaff. Clubs are counted as chaff; it laughs at the rattle of javelins.
The skin of dragons was like an airtight armour suit. No animals now on earth fit that description. Dragons would need the sort of body that Job 41 describes to have done the things said about them in ancient legends.
But how did dragons fly? God said that Leviathan sees everything that is lofty (Job 41:34). That might mean that dragons could fly beyond earth—into space, but that requires them to have some kind of radiant energy for flight, something beyond our present knowledge. Legends say that dragons can breathe fire and smoke and shine light rays and death rays from their eyes. Dragons must have had silica-based chemistry to sustain high temperatures, shine radiant energy, shine laser beams, and have a flight capability different from all other animals. Job 41:18-21, Its sneezings flash forth light, and its eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn. From its mouth go flaming torches; sparks of fire leap out.
Out of its nostrils comes smoke, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes. Its breath kindles coals, and a flame comes out of its mouth.
God is the one speaking. He is telling Job about his achievements from the olden days of creation. This compels us to believe that Leviathan was real, and that this incredible description is true. But evidently Job found it hard to accept in the same way that many today find it hard to accept. Job 42:2, I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
Job certainly never saw a dragon, like all of us. But God revealed to Job that dragons are an original creation even though he may have thought dragons are a myth. That is likely true today as well. Job even admitted that it was beyond his understanding; Job 42:3, ... Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
The Bible’s description of Leviathan compares to some science fiction videos of creatures from space, or of monsters that rise from the sea to terrorise earth. The Bible says that dragons have no fear of anything; Job 41:33-34, On earth it has no equal, a creature without fear. It surveys everything that is lofty; it is king over all that are proud. The dragon therefore symbolises a supreme power and authority on earth.
The Hebrew word TANNÌN also means dragon. We will look at a few texts in Exodus that relate to Moses’ life. Moses lived forty years in the land of Midian, a sheep herder living among Arabs. God spoke to him from a burning bush and told him to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt. But Egypt was strong then and had a
strong king. Moses doubted if he could persuade Pharaoh to let the people go. Exodus 4:1-3, Then Moses answered, “But suppose they do not believe me or listen to me, but say, ‘The LORD did not appear to you.’” The LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A staff.” And he said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw the staff on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses drew back from it.
The Ex. 4:3 text says NÀKHASH (snake or serpent) but when Moses and Aaron stood before Pharoah, the text says TANNÌN (dragon). Exodus 7:8-10, The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Perform a wonder,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, and it will become a dragon.’” So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did as the LORD had commanded; Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a dragon.* *(Heb. TANNÌN, dragon) (translation mine) The miraculous staff sign was a supernatural miracle. It is the sign of God’s power and authority and it cannot be interpreted as an illusion or natural event. This miracle is confusing because two different words are used in describing it. Bible translators try to avoid contradictions in translation as far as possible; but the fact is that two different Hebrew words are used in describing this miracle. (The reason for using these two different words will be explained.)
Snakes and dragons are not thought the same animal but the Bible treats them as the same animal by two different names; the answer is in the Garden of Eden from the days of long ago. Genesis 3:1,
Now the serpent* was more crafty than any other wild animal that the LORD God had made. *(Heb. NÀKHASH, serpent) But notice what is said: Rev. 12:9, and 20:2, ... the dragon,* that ancient serpent,* who is the Devil and Satan ... *(Gr. DRAKÓN, dragon; Gr. ÓPHIS, serpent) The answer is in this text because two words are identifying the same animal. Serpents and dragons are the same animal from the ancient days of Eden. Gen. 3:14, The LORD God said to the serpent (NÀKHASH), “Because you have done this, cursed are you among all animals and among all wild creatures; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat...”
The serpents of this world are not original creations of God but are a result of a degrading curse (Gen. 3:14). The original ancient serpent was amazing to see, the most exalted of all animals. In Rev. 20:2, God called this animal the dragon. The dragon legends are from the beginning of history, from the Garden of Eden.
Serpents of today are under a curse (Gen. 3:14)—signifying degradation and inferiority. The miracle sign given to Moses was for displaying God's authority. Therefore his shepherd-staff should not transform into any serpent of this world, as that would signify a curse for Moses, and degradation and inferiority for what he represented.
Pharaoh’s authority was challenged in the confrontation of Moses and Aaron. Their rods must be seen to have more power than Pharaoh’s rods because rods show power and authority. A king’s sceptre shows authority (Esther 4:11; 5:2). A policeman’s rod shows power. The rods of Moses and Aaron were used as a way to display the supreme power and authority of God. The transformation of Aaron’s rod into a living animal was a supernatural miracle, a creation of God. All creations of God are perfect; hence, Moses’ serpent was a perfect creature,
a serpent as first created without flaw, inferiority or curse (Gen. 1:31; Dt. 32:4). “This God—his way is perfect” (Psalm 18:30).
The miracle sign serpent that was created would have been like the original serpent that God made in Eden, which is also the dragon. Therefore the word TANNÌN was used in Ex. 7:8-10 instead of NÀKHASH. Now we know why Moses fled from the serpent (in Exodus 4:3). Moses had forty years’ experience in the desert tending sheep, and surely would not flee from a serpent. But Moses had never seen a dragon! That is why Moses fled from the serpent, it was a dragon!
Revelation 12:9; 20:2 says Satan, the Devil, is the dragon, the ancient serpent. But this is not natural. Serpents are of earth but Satan is a spirit out of heaven. Satan was an angel that became God’s enemy and the start of sin and rebellion; (Isaiah 14:12-15; Luke 10:18). He had an appointment from God to govern Earth and was in Eden from the beginning (Ezekiel 28:13-15). He was created perfect but did not remain perfect; he used his position to stage rebellion against God.
Satan’s first rebellious act was the entrapment of Adam and Eve (Gen. 3:1-5) but he needed a body in which to exhibit himself visibly. He chose a dragon for earthly manifestation because it stunningly exhibited him as the supreme power and authority on earth. Satan is the reason that dragons are symbolic of evil. The dragon legends originate from the Garden of Eden.
Satan’s power is stronger in the last days when he openly fights against God. Satan terrorises earth as a fiery red dragon and is worshipped (Rev. 12:3; 13:4). He and his angels terrorise earth for the short time allowed him (Rev. 12:12-17).
Revelation Twelve prophesies the end time, when the present world era ends and a new world era begins. Satan is in retreat from a lost war in heaven and is coming to earth as a great red dragon with seven heads. Rev. 12:3, Then another portent appeared in heaven: a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
Dragons sometimes have more than one head; Psalm 74:14, You crushed the heads of Leviathan; ...
(Leviathan is singular but heads is plural) Satan has access to heaven (Job 1:6-7; 2:1-2), accusing holy people in front of God’s throne (Zech. 3:1-2; Rev. 12:10). But the war in heaven puts an end to it. Rev. 12:7-10, v 7...
And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back, but they were defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world —he was thrown down to the earth; and his angels were thrown down with him.
v 10,
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, proclaiming, ‘Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Messiah, for the accuser of our comrades has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.
God intends to kill the dragon at his return; he could have killed him in Eden (Gen. 3:9-19) but that was not a right time. His Kingdom return is the right time to capture Satan and crush his heads (Gen. 3:15). Satan’s capture is a big event for it signals the end of his evil reign. Jesus will then be King of the whole earth (Isaiah 51:9; Zechariah 14:9). It will be a time of rejoicing for all people!
Isaiah foresees the last-day judgment of nations and the fight with Leviathan. Isaiah 26:20-21—27:1, Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the wrath is past. For the LORD comes out from his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth
will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no longer cover its slain. 27:1
On that day the LORD with his cruel and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,* Leviathan the twisting serpent,* and he will kill the dragon* that is in the sea. *(serpent, Heb. NÀKHASH; dragon, Heb. TANNÌN)
Satan, the Devil, will at last be cast into prison as a spirit (Rev. 20:1-3) under sentence of high treason. But before then, his return as the ancient red dragon brings terror and chaos to earth. The end of this age is a time of tribulation for God’s people still inside the Antichrist empire (Dan. 7:19-27; Rev. 6:9-11; 13:7). Satan hates God’s people (Rev. 12:17). But in these last days God is saving his earthly elect, his Kingdom seed, and they will survive (Isaiah 26:20; Daniel 12:1; Zech. 8:6-8; Matt. 24:22; Mark 13:20; Rev. 12:13-16).
Moses’ confrontation against Pharaoh typifies Christ’s victory against Satan. Egypt typifies the present evil world. Pharaoh typifies Satan, ruler of this world; (Eze. 29:3; Luke 4:5-7). When God’s power was manifested, Egypt’s sorcerers tried duplicating the miracle but God’s dragon ate their dead synthetic dragons (TANNINÌM, dragons; Exodus 7:11-12). It is a reminder to Satan that God alone is able to create a real living dragon because God alone has the power of life.
In Isaiah 30:7, Rahab is Egypt, typifying this world. Isaiah 51:9-11 foresees a final combat against Satan, in which God kills Rahab and the dragon (TANNÌN). (Our writing entitled "The vision of Revelation Twelve" is relevant to this topic.)
God made dragons to swim the seas (Psalm 104:26) and his plan will not be undone by Satan; all of creation will be restored including dragons. Is. 35:6-7, For waters shall burst forth in the desert, and streams in the dry plain. And wherever was parched will become a pool, and arid zones will become springs of water; in the meadow lands where dragons* recline shall be grass with reeds and rushes. *(Heb. TANNÌM, dragons) (translation mine) Isaiah 35 is prophetic of the New Earth during Christ’s reign, when earth will be restored like Eden (Acts 3:19-21). Serpents will exist but will be harmless:
“They will not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain” (Is. 11:8-9). Nothing in the New Earth will be evil, not insects, serpents—or dragons; (nothing in nature was evil at the start). Satan will have no place in the new world.
Dragons are from the Fifth Day, “So God created the great sea monsters...” (Genesis 1:21, Heb. TANNINÌM, dragons). All of God’s creation is good, and for praise—including dragons; “Praise the LORD from the earth, you sea monsters (Heb. TANNINÌM, dragons) and all deeps” (Psalm 148:7).
In Bible texts the Hebrew word TANNÌN refers to a serpent or reptile but it is not any animal known today. In ancient Hebrew tradition TANNÌN is a dragon. Some texts speak of the LEVIATHÀN, which was always regarded as a dragon. (This name means twisted or coiled, like a snake.) Dragons were made to swim and play in the seas (Job 41:31-32; Psa. 104:26). Dragons are grouped together with sea serpents (Psa. 74:13-14).
This is a reminder that many of earth’s original animals are no longer living. Legends and traditions are easily disregarded or forgotten, but the Bible is not human tradition. Our minds must be open to believe God’s word even if some ideas are fantastic. It was hard for Job to believe in dragons but God said they are real. Dragons were on earth for only a brief time but we believe they were in Eden at the start and will be with us again in the New Earth.
Legends also speak of the phoenix —a bird of beauty from the first paradise. The phoenix legend commemorates a bird that was raised to new life out of the ashes of fire. Some think it is only a myth, but the phoenix bird is mentioned in the Book of Job. The Hebrew word KHOL has two meanings. Many translations of Job 29:18 give a meaning of sand but it also has the meaning of phoenix bird. In a correct translation of this text, it indicates resurrection hope. Job 29:18, Then I thought, ‘I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days like the phoenix.’
Job is recalling the fire phoenix legend, wherein the phoenix bird dies in fire and rises to new life from the ashes of death. Job is comparing himself to a bird
that dies in the nest—only to rise again at a future time just like the phoenix bird. The phoenix is therefore a symbol of future resurrection to new life.
We know anything that advances God’s purpose is possible. God can create life when he chooses, vegetation, animals, humans or spirits. Any new-life from non-life is a divine act of creation, whether a first-creation or a later re-creation (resurrection). The phoenix bird can be explained as God’s prophetic symbol of future resurrection. From the beginning, God has done miracles in all ages, more than was ever written in the Bible or in any other book. Job 5:8-9, As for me, I would seek God, and to God I would commit my cause. He does great things and unsearchable, marvellous things without number. John 21:25, But there are also many other things that Jesus did; if every one of them were written down, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
The phoenix was one of God’s creations from the beginning. Animals do not have resurrection power in themselves but they can be resurrected from death if God chooses—just like a human. In the past, God resurrected a phoenix bird to serve as a resurrection hope and inspiration for all of humanity everywhere.

1) serpent, fiery serpent; 1a) poisonous serpent (fiery from burning effect of poison) 2)seraph, seraphim: majestic beings with 6 wings, human hands or voices in attendance upon God Dragons in Heaven? If this is a seraph, it's a fallen one!
Boy, was I surprised when I finally decided to look up those heavenly beings from Isaiah 6:2-6. They're snakes! In fact, they're serpents with wings and feet. I'm pretty sure that qualifies them as dragons! I am aware that the immediate reaction of most conservative Christians will be to take offense, assume I'm attacking the Bible, or write off this page as nonsense and me as a kook. Stop for a moment, though, and look at the definition in the text box above from the respected Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. You'll find all Hebrew lexicons give a similar definition because Isaiah 6 is not the only place that the word "seraphim" is used. It's just translated as snake all the other places. The Scholarship Behind This Translation I had always wondered about these strange creatures. Isaiah 6 says they have six wings. They fly with two, they cover their feet with two, and they cover their faces with two.
When Isaiah saw them, they were shouting, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory." They were shouting this to one another. I've heard it said that this is all they do (shout this 24/7), but that's not true. When Isaiah was stricken with conviction from being in the presence of the Lord, it was one of the Seraphim who touched his lips and said, "Lo, this has touched your lips. Your iniquity is taken away, and your sin is atoned for." A Helpful Reader Expounds on Seraphim I think this qualifies as at least a small defense of modern translators. This comment by a reader on Seraphim is useful. I appreciate your interest in Seraphim. I too have been studying this recently to discover if there are links to Gen. 3. So far they are only "inferences" that Satan may have been a Seraphim, who appeared as a serpent. Nothing concrete. On Isaiah though, I think one of the reasons translators have "hidden" the definition as 'serpent' for "Seraphim" is because there is a variant issue. Jewish and Christan translators alike struggle with knowing for certain if the 'serpent' root is accurate or the root for 'fiery' is accurate. Rather than box us into a moot theological point—they may have chosen to simply leave it up to those who really want to dig to discover. But to your point, it would be nice to have a note that says, "root uncertain—could be translated fiery or serpent—either way heavenly beings that surround the throne of God in worship and service," or something to that effect. :-) Blessings, Nate Email used with permission. I would add that it would not only be nice to have such a note; it would be honest. Not having it is dishonest. I finally decided to look these beings up. Here's the simple facts …
The Hebrew word saraph is used 7 times in the Hebrew Scriptures (Num. 21:6,8; Deut. 8:15; Is. 14:29; 30:6; and here twice) Every time—except in Isaiah 6—it is translated "fiery serpent" or something very close to that. In Isaiah 6, it is simply left untranslated. Seraphim is just the plural of seraph or saraph. The first three times it's used, the seraphim are poisonous snakes that God used to punish the Israelites. The last two times it's used in Isaiah—14:29 and 30:6—those "fiery serpents" are said to fly, too!
Dragons in Heaven! Now I have no way of knowing what you think about dragons in heaven, but to me, that's one of the most interesting things I've ever discovered. Tell me you don't like dragons! Apart from a Christian context, everyone loves dragons! But why not in a Christian context? Do dragons have anything at all to do with Christian theology? Why can't we have dragons in heaven? Why should they be offensive to us? They shouldn't. Why Didn't Anyone Tell Us? You might be interested in Honest Bible Translation, my rant about the dishonesty of Bible translators withholding information from us.

Bear in mind Israel means Jacob, not Jews (Exodus 20:5) simply refer to Malachi 1:3 Father God Almighty hated Esau the counterfeit Israel, but loved Jacob as His appointed – ordained Israel, by His Blood Covenant made with his grandfather Abraham to Isaac! Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of YOUR fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is My name for ever, and this is My memorial unto all generations.
16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt: 17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the “affliction of Egypt” unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey. 18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt/Pharaoh – Lucifer the serpent God Ouroboros and ye shall say unto him, The Lord God of the “Hebrews” hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.

Jews killed Prophet and Jesus
The dragon is the evil jews who tried to kill jesus and the jews later was punished by God and were forbidden to have a nation, but the dragon (sinister spirit) will return (Israel). The Woman and the Dragon 1A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. 5She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”a And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. 6The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. 7Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. 10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. 11They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. 12Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.” 13When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach. 15Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. 16But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus. About Dragon interpretation The following are excerpts from Jewish press series: According to Rabbi Natan Slifkin, who explored conflicts between the Talmud and science in the context of strange animals described in Jewish tradition In examining the statements of the Talmud and Midrash that describe the fabulous monsters…. when discussing which types of images are idolatrous and must be destroyed, includes the image of a creature called the drakon. The etymological similarity of the name drakon to "dragon" may suggest that it is the animal being referred to. The Talmud Yerushalmi and various commentaries, however, explain the drakon to mean a snake, perhaps a cobra. There are pesukim that have sometimes been interpreted as referring to fire-breathing, flying dragons. For example, Yeshayahu (30:6) addresses the Jewish kings who sought to form a military alliance with Egypt against Assyria: They load animals to [travel to] the south; to the land of trouble and anguish, from where the young and the old lion come, the viper and the fiery flying serpent (saraf), What is this saraf or fiery flying serpent? There are some species of snakes known as "flying snakes," but they leap out of trees and glide rather than fly. No snake actually flies, nor do any snakes breathe fire. A possibility is that the verses describing fire-breathing, flying snakes have simply been mistranslated. The appellation "fiery snake," saraf, does not necessarily refer to a fire-breathing snake; it could refer to a poisonous snake, whose venom "burns" people. The description of these snakes "flying" likewise may not refer to that which is usually understood by the term but rather jumping, as Rashi explains: "They are a type of snake, and it is not that they possess wings with which to fly, but rather that they jump and leap very far."
Science Vs. The Supernatural Rabbi Slifkin wrote: “When [young people] encounter statements in the Talmud or Midrash that run counter to their knowledge of the natural world, they are challenged in their faith. If their rabbinic leaders dismiss their questions or, worse, chastise them for asking, their difficulties become a crisis. For such people, learning that the great Torah authorities of history did not see any need to accept Talmudic statements of science as being infallible is a great reassurance, and can be a lifeline for someone whose emunah is drowning. Precisely that approach which causes a crisis in rabbinic authority for some, rescues rabbinic authority for others.” Legends in the Talmud often should be interpreted allegorically, not literally. And yes, the Talmudic Sages did err in matters of science.
This is creating significant debate and stress among religious circles in the Jewish religion.
On pro- and anti-Slifkin commentaries, Paltiel Schwartzman comments Unfortunately in our day, most Orthodox publications are fearful of addressing any controversial issues, especially if doing so might excite the more dogmatic elements in the right-wing yeshiva world to start yelling “kefira!” and “apikorsus!” – with no historical or theological basis whatsoever for their shouting. Another commentary from Dr. Yaakov Stern, Brooklyn, NY, Our current Torah leadership fully and forcefully endorses The opposite position of Slifkin modern scientific interpretation. I mention this because it is incumbent upon a Jew to follow the positions of the gedolim even, if their rulings appear to be in error. (the) authorities who have long departed this world and who almost certainly would distance themselves from “Slifkin” heresy.
The right-wing Torah school chooses to ignore scientific truths. They believe that if Chazal made any mistakes in science, the entire edifice of Torah crumbles. The modern scientific religious schools view is that occasional errors by the Talmudic Sages, who were anchored to the science of their times, does not undermine their authority at all. It merely affirms their humanity. This modern school is becoming more common in all Abrahamic religions. It is not that science is infallible but it does have more weight in interpreting the stories passed to us by the old messengers.

DRAGON (δράκων): Tweet By: Emil G. Hirsch, Hermann Gunkel The usual translation of the Septuagint for , dangerous monster whose bite is poisonous ("dragons' poison") (Deut. xxxii. 33; Ps. xci. 13). Nowhere distinctly described, they must be imagined as of composite form, resembling, according to some passages, the snake. Thus in Ex. vii. 9 (Hebr.) the staff of Moses is turned into a "dragon"; according to Ex. iv. 3 (Hebr.), into a "snake." Their home is in the water; they are mentioned together with the waves of the sea (Ps. cxlviii. 7), and were created by God with the fishes (Gen. i. 21). Originally they are mythological personifications of the floods ( ). In the vicinity of Jerusalem a "dragon's spring" was located, in which, according to ancient belief, a dragon lived as the spirit of the well (Neh. ii. 13). Especially interesting are the passages that speak of a single dragon: the "dragon that is in the sea" (Isa. xxvii. 1); "the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers" (Ezek. xxix. 3); or simply "dragon" (Job vii. 12 [Hebr.]; Jer. li. 34; Ps. xliv. 19, read ). Such a dragon is also referred to as "Rahab" (Isa. li. 9 et seq.). Leviathan ( xxvii. 1).
) probably also means a dragon of this kind (compare Isa.
Sometimes considerable information is given ofthese monsters. "In the beginning of things Yhwh overpowered them in creating the world." It is clear that this story, which is found only in fragments in the O. T., was originally a myth, representing God's victory over the seas ( ; Isa. li. 9 et seq.), or the hemming in of the Nile (Ezek. xxix. 3). The Babylonian story of Marduk's victory over the dragon of the sea, Tiamat, is analogous; but other traditions, especially those of Egypt, may also have influenced the story. The Hebrew poets and Prophets were fond of using this old myth to symbolize the destruction of Israel's enemies. In post-canonical times also similar traditions are often referred to. Psalms of Solomon (ii.) describe, under the image of a dragon, Pompey's greatness and fall; Apocr. Esther (i. 4 et seq.) describes the conflict between Haman and Mordecai as a battle between two dragons; the legend of Bel and the Dragon, a reproduction of the old Marduk monster, in the Septuagint version of Daniel, narrates how the prophet made cakes of pitch and put them in the dragon's mouth, with the result that the "dragon burst in sunder." Especially important is the mystical story of the persecution of the divine child and its heavenly mother by the great red dragon (Test. Job xii.). In its present form the story is explained as referring to the attacks of the devil on the Messiah, but it is based on an old Oriental myth of the enmity of the dragon for the child of the sun.

Little Known Jewish Dragons (Part I) After enjoying "The Hobbit" I started thinking of the Jewish tradition of dragons. In the coming week, I'm hoping to examine some of the lesser known Jewish sources dealing with dragons, especially from the Apocrypha. I'm no Natan Slifkin, and my knowledge of these issues is very casual, and meant mostly as "Whoa, dragons, cool". That the dragon was a potent symbol for Jews is undeniable. Perhaps the clearest sign that dragon were a widely used symbol comes from the apocryphal additions to the book of Esther. The additions to Esther begin with Moredchai dreaming a puzzling dream, foretelling the story: [2] In the second year of the reign of Artaxerxes the Great, on the first day of Nisan, Mordecai the son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, had a dream. [3] He was a Jew, dwelling in the city of Susa, a great man, serving in the court of the king. [4] He was one of the captives whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had brought from Jerusalem with Jeconiah king of Judea. And this was his dream: [5] Behold, noise and confusion, thunders and earthquake, tumult upon the earth! [6] And behold, two great dragons came forward, both ready to fight, and they roared terribly. [7] And at their roaring every nation prepared for war, to fight against the nation of the righteous. [8] And behold, a day of darkness and gloom, tribulation and distress, affliction and great tumult upon the earth! [9] And the whole righteous nation was troubled; they feared the evils that threatened them, and were ready to perish. [10] Then they cried to God; and from their cry, as though from a tiny spring, there came a great river, with abundant water; [11] light came, and the sun rose, and the lowly were exalted and consumed those held in honor. Two dragons are fighting, while the world is brought into a great distress. We are not offered much of a description of the dragons, so it is impossible to understand whether "dragon" = flying lizard spewing fire, or just a generic word for monster. The dream itself is solved in a later chapter: [1] And Mordecai said, "These things have come from God. [2] For I remember the dream that I had concerning these matters, and none of them has failed to be fulfilled. [3] The tiny spring which became a river, and there was light and the sun and abundant water -- the river is Esther, whom the king married and made queen. [4] The two dragons are Haman and myself. [5] The nations are those that gathered to destroy the name of the Jews. The author clearly saw dragons as creatures of great power, though they don't really do much in this
narrative. The dream as an addition to the book of Esther, seems to be intent on adding "God's" influence into the biblical narrative. Hopefully, some future dragons will be slightly more active. This is a continuation of my examination started in the previous post, of some of the less known dragons in the Jewish tradition. Our next dragon, also from the apocrypha appears in a story normally called "The book of Bel and the Dragon", which is a supposed continuation to the book of Daniel. The book, has come to us in two different translations - Greek and Theodotian, though the differences are not great. The first few verses (which I will omit) tell of how Daniel proves to King Cyrus that "Bel" the God worshiped in Babylon is false. The King admits that Bel - an idol - is a false God, but insists a dragon worshiped in Babylon is a true deity: 1:23 And in that same place there was a great dragon, which they of Babylon worshipped. 1:24 And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst not say that he is no living God: therefore worship him. 1:25 Then said Daniel unto the king, I will worship the Lord my God: for he is the living God. 1:26 But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay this dragon without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave. 1:27 Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did seethe them together, and made lumps thereof: this he put in the dragon’s mouth, and so the dragon burst in sunder : and Daniel said, Lo, these are the gods ye worship. Is this a fire breathing dragon? the use of pitch and fat would seem to me to suggest it. I assume that the dragon bursts because the fat and pitch catch fire, though this conjunction is not in the text. The story also exists in the Midrash חס הבר תישארב שרדמ, גי: ""םיהלא יכאלמ הנהו, לאינד הז, ""וב םידרויו םילוע, ךותמ ועלב תא איצוהו הלעש ויפ. ביתכד אוה אדה: ("ויפמ ועלב תא יתאצוהו לבבב לב לע יתדקפו" )אנ הימרי. רצנדכובנל דחא ןינת ול היהש, היהו וינפל ןיכילשמ ויהש המ לכ עלוב. לאינדל רצנדכובנ ל"א, לודג וחכ המכ, וינפל ןיכילשמש המ לכ עלובש. ול רמא לאינד: ושיתמ ינאו תושר יל ןת. תושר ןתנ. םירמסמ וכותל ןימטהו ןבת לטנ ?השע המ, וינפל ךילשה, םירמסמ ובקנו ויעמ ינב תא. ביתכד אוה אדה: ""ויפמ ועלב תא יתאצוהו.
In this version the monster is a Crocodile ( )ןינתand not a dragon, though possibly they are one and the same in early Hebrew. Daniel kills the beast not with Pitch and Fat, but with straw filled with nails.
According to David Guzik http://www.enduringword.com/commentaries/6612.htm David Guzik is the pastor of Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara, California. His written, audio, and video Bible resources are used by pastors, teachers, and Christians who just want to understand and apply the meaning and truth of the Bible. Revelation 12 - The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon
A. The woman.
1. (1) The woman is described in celestial images.
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. a. Now a great sign appeared: This is the first of seven signs that John relates, and is described as a great sign (mega semeion). In Revelation chapters 12, 13, and 14 the main figures of the Great Tribulation are described, and this great sign introduces the first of the seven: The woman, representing Israel The dragon, representing Satan The man-child, referring to Jesus The angel Michael, head of the angelic host The offspring of the woman, representing Gentiles who come to faith in the Tribulation The beast out of the sea, representing the Antichrist The beast out of the earth, representing the false prophet who promotes the Antichrist
b. A woman clothed with the sun: Because John plainly said this is a sign, we don't expect this woman to appear literally on the earth. God will use this sign to communicate something to John and to us. Women often represent religious systems in Revelation.
Jezebel is associated with a religious system promoting false teaching (Revelation 2:20) The Great Harlot is associated with false religion (Revelation 17:2) The Bride is associated with the church (Revelation 19:7-8)
c. A woman clothed with the sun: This woman has been associated with many different religious ideas. Roman Catholics claim this woman is Mary, pictured as the "Queen of Heaven." Mary Baker Eddy (the founder of Christian Science) said she was this woman.
i. It is common in Roman Catholic art to represent Mary as standing on a crescent moon with twelve stars around her head.
d. A woman clothed with the sun: Scripturally, this woman clothed with the sun should be identified with Israel, according to Joseph's dream (Genesis 37:9-11). In that dream, the sun represented Jacob, the moon represented Joseph's mother Rachel, and the eleven stars were the sons of Israel which bowed down to Joseph. In this sign with twelve stars, Joseph is now among the other tribes of Israel.
i. In other Old Testament passages, Israel (or Zion or Jerusalem) is often represented as a woman (Isaiah 54:1-6, Jeremiah 3:20, Ezekiel 16:8-14, and Hosea 2:19-20).
2. (2) The woman gives birth.
Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
a. Being with child: Later in the chapter, it is clear that this child born of Israel is Jesus (She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, Revelation 12:5).
b. She cried out in labor and in pain to give birth: The pain described refers to the travail of Israel at the time of Jesus' birth (under Roman occupation and oppression).
B. The dragon.
1. (3) A fearful, powerful dragon appears.
And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
a. Another sign appeared in heaven: Again, we are reminded that this is a sign. The creature here was not literally a great, fiery red dragon, but the dragon represented his nature and character. i. His description "symbolically suggests his fierce power and murderous nature . . . a picture of the fullness of evil in all its hideous strength." (Johnson) b. Seven diadems on his heads: This dragon had great power (seven heads and ten horns) and claimed royal authority (seven diadems). The crowns represent his presumptive claims of royal authority against the true King. He wants to be considered a king.
i. "From the similar description given in 13:1 and the parallel references in Daniel 7:7-8, 2, it is clear that the revived Roman Empire is in view . . . The seven heads and ten horns refer to the original ten kingdoms of which three were subdued by the little horn of Daniel 7:8, who is to be identified with the world ruler of the great tribulation who reigns over the revived Roman Empire." (Walvoord)
2. (4) The dragon looks to the earth.
His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. a. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven: Many believe this describes one-third of the angelic host in league with Satan (his angels of Revelation 12:9). This army of angelic beings in league with Satan makes up the world of demonic spirits. i. "God never made an evil being; but He made angels, principalities, and powers capacitated for mighty joys and distinctions in His glorious domain, yet with free will, implied in the very creation of moral beings, which they could exercise for their everlasting weal or woe. Many have remained steadfast, to wit, 'Michael and his angels.' But some abode not in the truth, but revolted against the rule of Heaven, and became unchanging enemies of God and His Kingdom." (Seiss) b. To devour her Child as soon as it was born: The attempt to devour her Child was initially fulfilled by Herod's attempts to kill Jesus as a child (Matthew 2:16-18). It was also fulfilled throughout Jesus' life as Satan attacked Him (John 8:58 and Mark 4:35-41).
C. The child.
1. (5) Jesus' ministry is described by its earthly beginning and end.
She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.
a. A male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: Clearly, this refers to Jesus Christ, the Messiah. He rules the world with a rod of iron (Psalm 2 and Revelation 19:15).
b. She bore a male Child: This refers to Jesus' birth. Rule all nations with a rod of iron refers to the triumphant return of Jesus. By stating the starting point and ending point of Jesus' earthly work, John alluded to all that stood in between.
i. "After a conflict with the Prince of this world, who came and tried Him, but found nothing in Him, the Son of the woman was taken up to heaven and sat on the right hand of God. Words can hardly be plainer than these." (Alford)
c. A male Child: This is obviously Jesus. This means that the woman of Revelation 12:1 cannot be the church, because Jesus "gives birth" to the church, not the other way around. The woman must therefore either be Mary or Israel, the only two "women" who could have "given birth" to Jesus. The rest of Revelation 12 will demonstrate that this woman is Israel, not Mary.
2. (6) The woman in the wilderness.
Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
a. Then the woman fled into the wilderness: Persecuted by the dragon, the woman is protected by God in a prepared place for one thousand two hundred and sixty days
i. This helps us to understand with certainty that the woman is Israel and not Mary. How could Mary possibly flee into the wilderness in this way?
b. One thousand two hundred and sixty days: This reference to a three and one-half year period connects these events with the final seven years of the Daniel 9 prophecy. Since Revelation 12:5 describes the ascension of Jesus, and Revelation 12:6 describes yet-to-occur events in the 70th week of Daniel, between these two verses lies hundreds of years (our current period). This obvious "near-far" break in time is typical of prophecy. Daniel's seventy week prophecy has such a break (Daniel 9:24-27).
c. Into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God: Some believe this place in the wilderness is the rock city of Petra, south of the Dead Sea. Reportedly, Christian businessmen have stocked the place with food and evangelistic tracts written in Hebrew.
d. Prepared in the wilderness: Prepared uses the same ancient Greek word Jesus used in I go to prepare a place for you (John 14:2-3). This demonstrates that God's careful planning works on earth as well as in heaven.
D. Conflict in heaven.
1. (7-8) War between Michael and the dragon.
And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. a. War broke out in heaven: At the mid-point of the great tribulation, God will turn the tide against Satan - first in heaven, then on earth. A battle will take place that will deny Satan access to heaven.
b. Michael and his angels: Some individuals and groups (such as the Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses) insist on saying that Michael is actually Jesus. This is wrong on every count. i. Some say Michael must be Jesus, because he has his angels. But if Satan - a fallen angelic being - has his angels (Revelation 12:7), can't Michael - an unfallen angelic being - have his angels? ii. Some say Michael must be Jesus, because his name means One like God. But if this were a title of Jesus, it could argue against His deity, not for it - because it would say that Jesus is like God, but not God. "There is also an unquestionable Godlikeness in all holy beings, which must be very exalted in those preeminent among the ministers of the throne." (Seiss)
iii. Some say Michael must be Jesus, because he is called the archangel (Jude 9), which means leader or prince among the angels, and they say that only Jesus is the leader of the angels. But we know from Daniel 10:13, 10:20 and 10:21 that Michael is one angelic prince among others. Also, Paul refers to an archangel in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 in a way that presupposes other archangels.
iv. Some say that Michael must be Jesus, because Paul says that at the rapture, the Lord will call His people with the voice of an archangel (1 Thessalonians 4:16). But Jesus can use an angel to call out for His people without being that angel, just as much as God can use a trumpet to sound out a call without being the trumpet.
v. Jude 9 says that Michael would not rebuke or accuse Satan on His own authority, but only say "The Lord rebuke you." This shows that Michael isn't Jesus, because Jesus often rebuked Satan and demons in His own authority (Matthew 17:18, Mark 1:25, 9:25, Luke 4:8, 4:35).
vi. "Michael is not to be identified with Christ, any more than any other of the great angels in this Book. Such identification here would confuse hopelessly the actors in this heavenly scene." (Alford)
c. Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought: This is a dramatic scene of battle between good angels and bad angels.; faithful angels and fallen angels.
i. Who fights in this battle? This is truly a battle between equals. The dragon represents Satan (Revelation 12:9), and Satan is not the counterpart of God - God has no counterpart. If anyone, Satan is the counterpart of Michael, who seems to be the chief angel opposite this chief of fallen angels.
ii. Why is the battle fought? In a previous scene of conflict between Michael and Satan (Jude 9), Satan wanted to prevent the resurrection and glorification of Moses, because he knew God had plans for the resurrected and glorified Moses (Luke 9:30-31). Here is another occasion where Satan wants to get in the way of God's plan for the end-times.
iii. When is this battle fought? This battle occurs at the mid-point of the seven-year period, as described by Daniel. At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered. (Daniel 12:1)
iv. How is this battle fought? We know this is a real fight; but is it a material or a spiritual battle? Our battle with Satan and his demons is spiritual, fought on the battleground of truth and deception, of fear and faith (Ephesians 6:12). In regard to material attacks against the believer, Satan and his demons were disarmed at the cross (Colossians 2:15). Among angels, it is possible that there is a material battle to be fought in a way we can only imagine. In his classic work Paradise Lost, the great poet Milton imagined this battle:
Michael bid sound Th' archangel trumpet: through the vast of heaven It sounded, and the faithful armies run Hosanna to the Highest: nor stood at gaze The adverse legions, nor less hideous joined The horrid shock: now storming fury rose, And clamour such as heard in heaven till now
Was never; arms on armour clashing brayed Horrible discord, and the madding wheels Of brazen chariots raged; dire was the noise Of conflict; overhead the dismal hiss Of fiery darts in flaming volleys flew, And flying vaulted either host with fire: So under fiery cope together rushed Both battles main, with ruinous assault And inextinguishable rage; all heaven Resounded, and had earth been then, all earth Had to her centre shook.
d. Nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer: This shows us that up until this happens (at the mid-point of Daniel's 70th week), Satan does have access to heaven, where he accuses God's people before the throne (Job 1:6-12, Revelation 12:10).
i. It troubles some to think that Satan has access to heaven, because of the mistaken teaching that God can allow nothing unholy in His presence. But the Bible clearly says that while Satan appears on earth (Luke 4:1-13), and describes him as the prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2), it also says that Satan has access to heaven, where he accuses God's people before the throne (Job 1:6-12).
2. (9) Satan and his angels are cast out of heaven.
So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
a. So the great dragon was cast out: This single verse uses many different titles for our spiritual enemy, including Dragon, serpent of old, the Devil, Satan, and he who deceives the whole world. These titles describe Satan as vicious, an accuser, an adversary, and a deceiver.
i. Walvoord on the Devil: "The title 'Devil' is from the Greek diabolos, from the verb diaballo, which has the meaning of 'defaming' or 'slandering.' He is the master accuser of the brethren."
b. He was cast to the earth: The Bible describes four different falls of Satan. Revelation 12:9 describes the second of these four falls.
From glorified to profane (Ezekiel 28:14-16) From having access to heaven (Job 1:12, 1 Kings 22:21, Zechariah 3:1) to restriction to the earth (Revelation 12) From the earth to bondage in the bottomless pit for 1,000 years (Revelation 20) From the pit to the lake of fire (Revelation 20)
i. In Luke 10:18, Jesus said "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." This refers either to the first fall of Satan (from glorified to profane), or it is a prophetic look ahead to the second fall at the mid-point of the seven year tribulation period.
c. His angels were cast out with him: This indicates that demonic spirits are indeed fallen angels, those who joined with Satan in His rebellion against God. These are "his angels."
i. These angels are also the same as the third of the stars of heaven described in Revelation 12:4. Since Satan only drew a third of the stars of heaven, it means that two-thirds of the angels remained faithful to God. It's comforting to know that faithful angels outnumber fallen angels two to one.
3. (10-12) A joyful declaration in heaven.
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."
a. I heard a loud voice saying: Whoever is behind this loud voice, it is some representative of redeemed humanity - not an angel or God - because the voice speaks of the accuser of our brethren.
b. The accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down: Satan's work of accusing only ends here, when he is cast out from his access to heaven. Today, we have (and need) an intercessor and advocate (Hebrews 7:25, and 1 John 2:1).
c. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death: This tells us three keys to the saint's victory over Satan.
d. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb: The blood overcomes Satan's accusations. Those accusations mean nothing against us because Jesus has already paid the penalty our sins deserved. We may be even worse than Satan's accusations, but we are still made righteous by the work of Jesus on the cross (Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:14, and Hebrews 9:14).
i. Although, it is important to say that we should not regard the blood of Jesus in a superstitious manner. It is not a magical potion, nor is it the literal blood of Jesus, literally applied that saves or cleanses us. If that were so, then His Roman executioners, splattered with His blood, would have been automatically saved, and the actual number of molecules of Jesus' literal blood would limit the number of people who could be saved. The blood speaks
to us of the real, physical death of Jesus Christ in our place, on our behalf, before God. That literal death in our place, and the literal judgment He bore on our behalf, is what saves us.
ii. By the blood emphasizes the death of Jesus. He did not only suffer, He died. Of the Lamb emphasizes the substitutionary work of His death, because the Passover Lamb died as a substitute for others.
iii. The blood of Jesus heals our troubled conscience, because we know that by His death our sin is atoned for (Hebrews 9:14). But to only use the blood of Jesus in that way is selfish. We should be like "these saints used the doctrine of atonement not as a pillow to rest their weariness, but as a weapon to subdue their sin." (Spurgeon)
iv. How does the blood of the Lamb conquer Satan in the life of the believer? How does the death of Jesus on the cross as our substitute bring us victory?
v. It works first because His victory is our victory. "First, you are to regard Satan this day as being already literally and truly overcome through the death of the Lord Jesus. Satan is already a vanquished enemy. By faith grasp your Lord's victory as your own, since he triumphed in your nature and on your behalf . . . Come, my soul, thou hast conquered Satan by thy Lord's victory. Wilt thou not be brave enough to fight a vanquished foe, and trample down the enemy whom thy Lord has already thrust down? Thou needest not be afraid, but say, 'Thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.' " (Spurgeon)
vi. It works because the work of Jesus on the cross for us is the ultimate demonstration of God's love (Romans 5:8), and a constant remembrance of the blood of the Lamb assures us that every fear Satan whispers into our mind is a lie.
vii. It works because the death of Jesus on the cross as our substitute reveals the true nature of sin, and this makes us want to avoid sin. "Satan makes sin seem pleasurable, but the cross reveals its bitterness. If Jesus died because of sin, men begin to see that sin must be a murderous thing." (Spurgeon)
viii. It works because the death of Jesus on the cross as our substitute purchases us as God's personal property, and this makes us want to live unto God. "If anything can make a man holy it is a firm faith in the atoning sacrifice. When a man knows that Jesus died for him, he feels that he is not his own, but bought with a price, and therefore he must live unto him that died for him and rose again." (Spurgeon)
ix. Therefore, we use the blood of the Lamb in spiritual warfare - not as a Christian "abracadabra," as if chanting "The blood of Jesus, the blood of Jesus" could keep Satan away like garlic is said to keep away vampires. Rather, our understanding, our apprehension, our focus - may I say our obsession with the death of Jesus on the cross as our substitute wins the battle.
x. "The precious blood of Jesus is not meant for us merely to admire and exhibit. We must not be content to talk about it, and extol it, and do nothing with it; but we are to use it in the great crusade against unholiness and unrighteousness, till it is said of us, 'They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb.' This precious blood is to be used for overcoming, and consequently for holy warfare. We dishonor it if we do not use it to that end . . . The dog of hell knows the dread name which makes him lie down: we must confront him with the authority, and specially with the atonement of the Lamb of God." (Spurgeon)
e. They overcame him . . . by the word of their testimony: The word of their testimony overcomes Satan's deception. Knowing and remembering the work of God in their life protects them against Satan's deceptions. As faithful witnesses, they have a testimony to bear - and because they know what they have seen and heard and experienced from God, they cannot be deceived by Satan's lies telling them it isn't true (as the testimony of the man born blind in John 9:25).
f. They overcame him . . . they did not love their lives to the death: Loving not their lives overcomes Satan's violence. If they do not cling to their own earthly lives, then there really is no threat Satan can bring against them. If they believe to live is Christ, and to die is gain (Philippians 1:21), then how can Satan's violence against them be effective?
i. The ancient Greek word for love here is agape, which speaks of a self-sacrificing, decisionbased love. It is up to each one of us to choose: Will we love our lives to the death? Will our
physical lives be the most precious thing to us, or will we find our life by losing it for Jesus? (Mark 8:35)
g. Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Heaven rejoices at the eviction of Satan. But heaven's gain is the earth's loss: Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and sea!
h. He knows that he has a short time: Satan's power is real and terrifying, but not because he is triumphant, but because he knows he is beaten and has a short time left. He is like a wounded, cornered animal that fights ferociously.
i. Satan might give up his fight against God and humanity made in God's image, except for the fact that he is utterly depraved, and probably insane in some way; Satan may have deceived even himself into thinking that he has a chance. Our rebellion against God makes even less sense than Satan's rebellion does.
E. Conflict on the earth.
1. (13-16) Satan attacks the woman, and God protects her.
Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. a. He persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child: Some teach that the woman is a symbol representing all the people of God, including faithful Israel and the church. They use this to advance the idea that the church is here during the tribulation period. But if the woman represents all the people of God (the church and faithful Israel), then who are the rest of her offspring described in Revelation 12:17? It is better to see her as Israel in general or Messianic Jews in particular.
i. Why does Satan attack the Jewish people? This is a question for all history, not only for the Great Tribulation. The reason is because from the time of Abraham, Israel holds a critical role in God's plan of redemption. First, it was in bringing forth the Messiah and Redeemer. Then, it was in the fulfillment of His plan, because Jesus promised that the Jewish people would exist and welcome Him when He returns in glory to this world (Matthew 23:39). If Satan succeeds in destroying the Jewish people, then God's eternal plan is in some way thwarted.
ii. "The persecution of Israel is part of the satanic program to thwart and hinder the work of God . . . Israel is hated by Satan not because of any of its own characteristics but because she is the chosen of God and essential to the overall purpose of God for time and eternity." (Walvoord)
b. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place: Eagle's Wings are an emblem from the Exodus deliverance (Exodus 19:4), another way of connecting these people with Israel.
i. Some have wondered if the reference to the two wings of a great eagle do not in fact describe a great military transport plane used to evacuate people in an emergency situation.
c. Where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time: This is another reference to a three and one-half year period, indicating that these events - this dramatic persecution of Israel - takes place during the 70th week of Daniel 9.
d. So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman: The fury poured out against Israel after the abomination of desolation (marking the half-way point of the 70th week of Daniel) was spoken of by Jesus in Matthew 24:15-22, and spoken of in distinctly Jewish terms (housetop . . . pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath). This passage in Revelation describes the fury that Jesus told them to flee.
e. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth: This passage also describes God's ultimate protection of Israel from the fury of Satan and his Antichrist in the great tribulation.
i. As it says in Isaiah 59:19, When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.
2. (17) The wrath of the dragon is focused against God's people.
And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
a. The dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring: This may refers to Israel (the woman) and Gentiles who come to faith in Jesus during the Great Tribulation (the rest of her offspring). These two groups are particular targets of Satan and his Antichrist's persecution in the last days.
b. He went to make war with the rest of her offspring: This either begins or continues the fierce persecution of all those who would not submit to and worship this great Satanic dictator. The martyrs of this period were shown in Revelation 6:9-11 and Revelation 7:9-17.
i. "It is precisely when Satan has lost the battle for the souls of saints in heaven that he begins the fruitless persecution of their bodies." (Farrer)
Š2013 David Guzik -
http://www.nkusa.org/AboutUs/Zionism/opposition.cfm
WHY ORTHODOX JEWS ARE OPPOSED TO A ZIONIST STATE? Here is a summary of what real orthodox jews believe (Not all observant jews who were Yarmka) are real jews.
First some introductions: 1) What is "The People of Israel" ?
The People of Israel have existed for thousands of years. The Torah and the faith in God is the source of their essential nature. Whoever denies the Torah and the Faith is no longer part of the People of Israel. The purpose of the People of Israel in this world is Divine Service. Their salvation is occupation in Divine Service.
2) What is Zionism?
Zionism is a relatively new invention. It has only existed for a century. Zionism redefines (corrupts) the true essential nature of the People of Israel, and substitutes for it a completely contradictory and opposite character - a materialistic worldly nation and their salvation is possession of a state and army and world media and finance and political control. This is clearly spelled out in the circles of Zionist thought, and among the leaders of the Zionist State, that through changing the nature and character of the People of Israel and by changing their way of thinking they can set before the People of Israel "their salvation" – a land, a state and an army. This is not done by organization and force of arms. Which opposed the promised kingdom founded on Divine Service. However, a worldly state, like those possessed by other peoples, is contradictory to the true essence of the true People of Israel. The Torah forbids us to end the exile and establish a state and army until the Holy One (The Messiah of peace), blessed He, in His Glory and Essence will redeem us. This is forbidden even if the state is conducted according to the law of the Torah because arising from the exile itself is forbidden, and we are required to remain under the rule of the nations of the world, as is explained in the book VAYOEL MOSHE. If we transgress this injunction, He will bring upon us (may we be spared) terrible punishment. Aside from the fact that the Zionist themselves do not obey the Torah they do everything they can to prevent anyone they get under their power from fulfilling the commands of the Torah, the claims to freedom of religion are lies. They fight with all of their strength to destroy the Faith of Israel and commit crimes in the name of Israel and use the word Israel in evil ways in the same way the Christians used the Crusades and inquisitions in the name of Christianity and ISIS is now using Islam in corrupted ways to achieve their political powers and goals. Israel was founded by terrorist groups and godless and mostly atheist bankers with the help of UK politicians.
The Zionists claim that they are the saviors of Israel, but this is refuted by the following:
1. The Zionists have enough control over the American news media to make sure that only their side of the story is heard. They make it look like all Jewry and their rabbis are Zionists, but this is false propaganda. The most important Rabbis and the majority of religious Jewry are opposed to Zionism, but their voice is not heard because of Zionist control of American news media. The Zionists terrorize everyone who speaks out against them, including Jews. 2. We see that most of world Jewry lives in security and under good physical conditions, and have no desire to go live in the Zionist State. Whereas many people have left the Zionist State to live under better conditions in other lands. The Zionists make a great deal of propaganda to induce people to immigrate to their state. If their state is so beneficial why do they have to make so much propaganda. The only way they can get immigrants is by promising poor people material benefits, and even then very few people respond. The top Zionist in US will not leave the US to go to Israel. On contrary, Zionists, Zionism and Israel has cause more damage to Judaism and hate o Jewish people than anything before. For centuries Jews lived peacefully and were protected by Arabs and Muslims, even when they were persecuted by Europe. The last haven of Jews was finally destroyed and turned the Arabs, their cousin and the Muslims who believe that Jews to be protected like Muslim as they worship the same God. There is a lot of evidence stated in books written by the founders of Zionism that the means by which they planned to establish a state was by instigating anti-Semitism, and undermining the security of the Jews in all the lands of the world, until they would be forced to flee to their state. And thus they did - They intentionally infuriated the German people and fanned the flames of Nazi hatred, and they helped the Nazis, with trickery and deceit, to take whole Jewish communities off to the concentration camps, and the Zionists themselves admit this. (See the books Perfidy, Min Hameitzor, etc.). The Zionists continue to practice this strategy today. They incite anti-Semitism and then they present themselves as the "saviors". Here are two replies given by Leaders of the Zionists during World War II, when they were asked for money to help ransom Jews from the Nazis. Greenbaum said "One cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jews in Poland." (God forbid). Weitzman said, "The most important part of the Jewish people is already in the land (of Israel) and those who are left, are unimportant" (May we be spared).
2. The Zionist State is always threatened by the dangers of war. Whereas the rest of world Jewry live in peace and security, (Except in a few places where the Zionists have undermined their security and fanned the flames of hatred). The Zionist State could not continue to exist without economic support from Jews living outside of the Zionist State. Which explains the business of Israel which is the ultimate deception of acting as a victim to get the money and support to achieve its political goals. They start wars that endanger the Jewish People, for the sake of their own political interests. 3. According to the Torah the path of safety is following ways of peace not starting fights with other nations, as the Zionists do. It is therefore clear that Zionism is not the savior of the people of Israel. Rather it is their greatest misfortune. Even though there are some observant Jews and rabbis, who approve of the Zionists, this is not the opinion of the Torah.
We bring three testimonies of the true opinion of the Torah. 1) In the past two thousand years of the dangers and sufferings of exile not once did any of the Sages of Israel suggest that we make a state to protect ourselves. We have thousands of legal work of Torah law that have been handed down to us by the Sages of all generations. Not once do we see a word suggesting the establishment of a state. What we do find is warnings against it. 3) The founders of Zionism were all atheists who denied the Torah. All the Torah Sages of that time opposed them and opposed Zionism, saying that Zionism would lead only to destruction.
Zionism is a foreign growth in the body of the Jewish People. The end will be that it will rid itself of this foreign growth and remain pure. Zionism has overcome the Jewish people and Gentiles (other nations) by force, fraud and terror, but none of this will help them because the truth will always remain with the help of the Creator. Zionism will not replace the Jewish People. The Jewish People will remain strong in their faith and the Zionist State will cease to exist. The Zionist leaders have no right to set themselves up as the representatives and spokesmen of the true People of ISRAEL. Let the truth be declared. The use of the Name "ISRAEL" by that State is a complete falsification. The People of Israel have nothing to do with that State. Zionism and its State have no share and no part in the true ISRAEL.
Who, or what, is the Antichrist? What you discover today may surprise, displease or sadden you, but please remember that the prophecy of Daniel chapter 7 comes from Jesus, who loves you. Pray for God's guidance as you delve into this urgent subject. Please read the book till the end, have an open mind and see if today’s events matches the prophecy and judge for yourself. Do not be lazy and just believe your pastors or believe me. Do not just accept information. Seek both sides of information on an issue. Pray for Jesus to guide your heart. Don't forget all these identification points come directly from the Bible. let us carefully examine all nine points, one by one. There must be no room left for doubt. Evil alliance, or sinister individual? Q. As Daniel chapter 7 begins, Daniel sees four beasts coming up out of the sea. What do these beasts and the sea represent? In prophecy, God uses beasts to symbolize nations. 
"The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth" (Daniel 7:23). "The waters ... are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues" (Revelation 17:15).
Israel was established by immigrants who came from multitude of nations and spoke different languages across the sea with large ships Please note that God interprets the symbols in Daniel's vision. Daniel saw a vision of four beasts coming up out of the sea. Daniel doesn't have to guess what they mean. They aren't mysterious symbols that cannot be understood by man. God Himself tells Daniel that the “beasts” represent earthly kingdoms, and the “waters” are “peoples, multitudes, and nations, and tongues.”
The Little Horn Q. In Daniel 7:7, the fourth world kingdom is represented by a horrible monster with iron teeth and 10 horns. What do the horns represent? One interpretation of The 10 horns represent the 10 kings or kingdoms into which the Roman Empire (the fourth kingdom which is today’s Europe) was eventually split (Daniel 7:24). Another interpretation is fourth Empire is the USSR which is carved out land niches for their people. The core Israel immigrants where Eastern European. "I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things" (Daniel 7:8).
The little horn The shofar is mentioned frequently in the Hebrew Bible, the Talmud and rabbinic literature. They were for signifying the start of a war (Josh. 6:4; Judges 3:27; 7:16, 20; I Sam. 8:3). Later, it was also employed in processions (II Sam. 6:15; I Chron. 15:28), as musical accompaniment (Ps. 98:6; comp. ib. 47:5) and eventually it was inserted into the temple orchestra by David (Ps. 150:3). Note that the 'trumpets' described in Numbers 10 are a different instrument, described by the Hebrew word 'trumpet' (Hebrew: ;חצוצרהḥaṣoṣrah), not the word for shofar (Hebrew: )שופר. According to the Talmud, a shofar may be made from the horn of any animal from the Bovidae family except that of a cow[18] although a ram is preferable.[19] The horn is used as a mouthpiece of announcements by the Israel misled Jews for the announcement of wars of Antichrist (Agent of Satan and maybe Satan himself incarnate) We must identify this "little horn" power carefully, because God takes more space describing it than the other four kingdoms combined. Why? Because the biblical characteristics identify it as the Antichrist of prophecy and history. There must be no mistake in making this identification. One interpretation of is that the little horn is the State of Israel. It is small in size and they have access and have eyes to monitor world telecommunications and the strongest propaganda machines and control of the world media. God gives us nine characteristics of Antichrist in Daniel 7 so we can be certain of his identity.
1. As the chapter begins, Daniel sees four beasts coming up out of the sea. In prophecy, what does a beast represent? What does the sea represent?
"The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth." Daniel 7:23. "The waters ... are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." Revelation 17:15. Answer: Beasts represent kingdoms or nations. Water represents multitudes of people or large populations. Some interpretation that the four world kinddoms are the ancient Egypt, Babylon, Persia, and Rome. And in today’s super military powers it is US, EU, Russia and China 2. The four beasts of Daniel 7 represent the four world kingdoms (verses 17, 18). Babylon, the first kingdom (Daniel 2:38, 39), is represented as a lion in Daniel 7:4. (See also Jeremiah 4:7 50:17, 43, 44 for Babylon pictured as a lion elsewhere.) What do the "eagle's wings" mean? What do the "four winds" of verse 2 represent? "The Lord shall bring a nation against thee ... as swift as the eagle flieth." Deuteronomy 28:49. "Thus saith the Lord of hosts, ... a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth." Jeremiah 25:32, 33. Answer: The wings of eagles represent speed. (See also Jeremiah 4:13; Habakkuk 1:6-9.) Winds represent strife, commotion, and destruction. (See also Revelation 7:1-3.) The little horn of Daniel 7:8 represents Antichrist.
6. In the Daniel 7 prophecy, what happens next? "I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things." Daniel 7:8. The Bible says Antichrist would persecute God's people. Israel is persecuting the Christians of the Holy Land and the True Jewish People who opposed the State of Israel 7. Are there clear points of identification? B. It would have a man at its head who could speak for it (Daniel 7:8). The State of Israel has a head of state speaking for it. C. It would pluck up or uproot three kingdoms (Daniel 7:8). One interpretation is that Israel was born out of the world war three. The Jewish elite bankers were behind the world war 2 and the four kindgoms that won were the allied forces won, America, France, Russia, and UK (four Kingdoms) and Germany, Italy, and Japan lost. And Israel was established by the fourth Kingdom by Belfour Declaration.
D. It would be "diverse (Daniel 7:24). E. It would make war with and "wear out" or persecute the saints (Daniel 7:21, 25). F. It would emerge from the fourth world kingdom (UK), (Daniel 7:7, 8). G. God's people (the saints) would "be given into his hand" for "a time and times and the dividing of time" (Daniel 7:25). H. It would "speak great words against" or blaspheme God (Daniel 7:25). In Revelation 13:5, the Bible says the same power speaks "great things and blasphemies." The Zioinist media is in control and decieiving Americans and Christians and buying pastors to corrupt the message of Jesuss and worshiping Israel and the material world instead of Jesus revolt against the Jewish Temple. I. It would "think to change times and laws." Daniel 7:25. It does revise history and institute new corrupt laws to protect and enrich the State of Israel and the Zionist at the expense of the other nations including the Christians and the Muslims and other nations.
Israel clearly fits the 666 all Antichrist identification symbols, signs, warnings and actions points. The Maximum Deception is to name the Zionist State of Israel to Gather Support and money to fund it survival
1. "The Antichrist (Zionist Movement and Israel) has shed more innocent blood directly or indirectly via the Enforcer (American Government) than any other country in our modern times , G. God's people (the saints) would "be given into his hand" for "a time and times and the dividing of time." Daniel 7:25. Several things need clarification in connection with this point: 1. One interpretation is a time is a year, times is two years, and the dividing of time is a half-year. The Amplified Bible translates it: "Three and one-half years." For our purpose a time is a period. It can be a month, a year or a decade. No specific interpretation is present that can be relied on. Anyway there is a period where Israel have the power over the saints including the Christians and some say even the Vatican and the Popes. Other are simply the Christians of the Holy Land and the innocent souls of the Palestinaians and other civilians of the other nations hurt by the Zionist wars.
6. This same period of persecution is mentioned in Matthew 24:21 as the worst period of persecution God's people will ever experience. Verse 22 tells us it was so devastating that not one soul would have survived if God had not shortened it. But God promise to shorten it.
H. It would speak "great words" of blasphemy "against the most High [God]." Blasphemy has two definitions in Scripture: The Zionist propaganda against Jesus in Hollywood and their intellectual circle and the media and war on Christmas and the corruption and misleading American Christians to support the Antichrist instead of the Christians of the Holy Land. God ordered the destruction of the temple of stones and building of sprirtiual temple by Jesus that would last forever. Israel want a Jewish state, they deny Jessus and want to rebuild the temple and deceive the Christians in America to donate to the build the Jewish Temple that God orderd its destruction in the Bible.
I. It would "think to change times and laws." The reference is to changing God's law. Israel Aparatheir changes the law to steal the land of the neighbors (Palestinians) and if you live in Secular Israel you will see a violation of the 10 commandants and the bible. Juadism became a culture and and national identity rather than spiritual way of life that God intended it to be for the Jews. Compare the Israel violation with God's list of the commandments in Exodus 20:3-17.) There is no doubt that the little horn power of Daniel chapter 7 (the Antichrist) is the papacy. No other organization could possibly fit all the symbols and descriptions so closely. And incidentally, this is no new teaching. Early Christian Scholars spoke of the Jewish elites who conspire against Christians and other nations (the Gentiles) as Antichrist. 8 Words of Care and Concern Please keep in mind that the prophecy is aimed at a system and not individuals. There are sincere, devout Jewish and Christians in all temples and churches. Daniel chapter 7 is simply a message of judgment and correction upon a large institutions at the time of Jesus it was the Jewish Temple Elites who gather wealth on the expense of the week and the poor and who used the Roman Empire as the Enforcer to Kill Jesus and at our time, it is The State of Israel that uses America as the Enforcer to Kills the spirit of the Christ in all who opposes them , like so many other churches that arose after her. There are true people in all religions. His true people (no matter what their faith) will always humbly accept the spirit and the teaching of Jesus Christ which is peace and love and justice
10. Many Christians today have been tragically misinformed regarding the Antichrist. To believe any untruth about the Antichrist could easily cause a person to be deceived and lost. What should a person do when new Bible teachings are encountered?
"These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." Acts 17:11. 1. I always thought Antichrist was a person rather than an organization. Am I wrong?
Antichrist is an entity, and organization or a system The words "eyes of man" in Daniel 7:8, however, do point to a leader. Revelation 13:18 speaks of man with a number being involved. The system, however, is called Antichrist because it has usurped Jesus' authority and attempted to change His law. God's way is loving persuasion. History shows that virtually every time a church or a country passed laws to enforce its beliefs, persecution and murder of others resulted. This is a lesson we can learn from the Middle Ages history of the little horn. We usually consider the word "anti" to mean "against". But in "Antichrist" it means "in the place of" or "instead of". Antichrist is guilty of assuming the prerogatives of God. It claims: Satan's Original Plan Satan's original plan (in heaven) was to assume God's position and authority. His aim was to oust God and rule in His place. When Satan was ejected from heaven, his aim did not change, his spirit is incarnate or manifested through out history via many Antichrists and false prophets. Through the centuries he has endeavored (using various human agencies) to discredit God and take over His position. The main purpose of the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation is to expose Satan's traps and strategies and lead people to anchor in Jesus and His Word for safety. Antichrist Will Deceive Many Many people will follow the Antichrist (Revelation 13:3), thinking they are following Christ by supporting Israel. This is the fate of Christian Zionist of America and the world. This is what is happing today caused by Zionist Propaganda. Only the very elect will be safe (Matthew 24:23, 24). They will be safe because they test every spiritual teaching and leader by Scripture (Isaiah 8:20). Religious deception is everywhere today. We cannot be too careful. 4. Doesn't the Bible say in 1 John 2:18-22 that there are many Antichrists? Yes, there have been many Antichrists down through history who have worked against the kingdom of God. The Antichrist spirit or entity of our day that specifically fulfills all the prophesied characteristics of the Antichrist is the State of Israel and the Zionist Movement. 5. In prophecy, does the symbol "beast" mean "Super Natural Animal" characteristics? Not at all. God uses the symbolism of a beast to signify a ruler, nation, government, or kingdom. It is His way of depicting governments in prophecy. We do this ourselves to some degree: We have depicted Russia as a bear, the United States as an eagle, etc. Even Christ is portrayed as a Lamb by John the Baptist
(John 1:29) and the apostle John (Revelation 5:6, 9, 12, 13). The term "beast" is utilized by God to give us a message about nations and leaders, good and evil. The lamb is peaceful while the beast is predatory. Israel is a predatory expanding nation build on the bones and blood and land of the Gentiles, the Christians and other nations The
Brother Nathanael! http://www.realjewnews.com/?p=60 THE “JEWISH” SPIRIT OF THE ANTI CHRIST is already at work. St John the apostle tells us what this Jewish spirit of the Anti Christ is: — “Every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is the spirit of Antichrist. He is the spirit of Antichrist who denies that Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah.” — (I John 2:22; 4:3) Thus the essence of the Jewish spirit of Antichrist is: 1. Denial that Jesus Christ is the Eternal Son of God Who became incarnate. 2. Denial that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. All Jews since 33 A.D.: 1) Claim that Jesus Christ is a false prophet. 2) Deny that Jesus Christ is the Messiah and they have their own Messiah which the Christian call the false Messiah and the Anti-Christ
WILL THE ANTI CHRIST BE A JEW? THE PROPHET DANIEL predicted that the Anti Christ would be a Jew: — “At the end of time a ruler shall exalt himself against God speaking great swelling words. He shall not regard the God of his fathers. He shall honor a God of opposition, a God whom his fathers knew not.” — (Daniel 11) Jesus Christ affirmed this when he warned the Jews: “I am come in my Father’s Name but you will not receive Me. Another will come in his own name and him you will receive.” (St John 5:43) St John of Damascus of the 8th Century, whose authority is recognized by all Christian denominations, states that the Anti Christ 1) will be a Jew 2) will come to the Jews 3) will be accepted by the Jews. (See: Exposition Of The Orthodox Faith, Book IV:26)
Anti Christ Enforcers * Michael Chertoff: Secretary of US Homeland Security. Chertoff is a Talmudic Jew who views Christians as “idolaters.” ~ Chertoff has 3 Jewish deputies under him. * Ben Shalom Bernanke: Chairman of the US Federal Reserve Bank. The Assistant Chairman is the Jew, Donald Kohn. ~ Bernanke has 3 more Jews under him including as co-governors of the Federal Reserve Bank. Together they answer to the Jewish House of Rothschild which controls international banking Here. * Michael Bernard Mukasey: Attorney General of the US Department Of Justice. Mukassey is a Talmudic Jew who views Christians as “idolaters.” Mukassey supports the extremist Zionist Jews of the Likud Party of which Ariel Sharon was a leading figure. Mukassey is linked with the Chabad Lubavitcher Movement which seeks to implement their Anti-Christian Noahide Laws in America Here. * Abraham Foxman: Director of the Anti Defamation League (ADL). In his recent book, Never Again? The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism, Foxman pronounced the New Testament as “Anti-Semitic.” Foxman is seeking to have the New Testament banned from being published Here. All US Presidential candidates must bow to the AIPAC before they are elected. (Joe Biden, I’m a Zionist) Just google the names of major presidential candidates and AIPAC. To see how the US is hijacked by Zionists. Less than 1% of US population is hijacking US and the world resources and security ) the manifestation of the anti Christ. They deny the book of the protocols of elderly zion is real, but just look at the facts. Who control the US and Major Media and Finance Houses? How is branded as terrorists and is vellified in the media but anyone who opposes Israel? France supposedly free country, You can criticize any religion but if you criticize Judaism or Israel you will go to jail. That is repression and oppression of the freedom of speech. You can insult and propogate hate against Jessus, Mohammed and Pope under the pretext of freedom of speech but when it comes to the jews, you are are anti-semite and you will be jailed. If you are in political or media you will be fired. But remember the anti Christ is not all powerful he is main weapon is deception is weak against the faithful and real followers of Christ. We must defeat the Antichrist HOW CAN WE fight the ANTI CHRIST?
1. Warn Your neighbors and community and representative against Zioniest supporters of anti christ 2. Demand that Zionists connection be questioned and revealed publicaly 3. Demand preventing nomination appointment of Zionist in foreign policy due to conflict of interest with US and with peace efforts 4. Deminad banning of AIPAC and ADL from lobbying including other foreign governments
NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE THE JEW MICHAEL CHERTOFF POLICING our nation as Secretary and chief of US Homeland Security, he wants to destroy our nation’s sovereignty as well. Because Zionists despise Real Christians wish to destroy the world Christian heritage and memory. ABOUT THE JEW MICHAEL CHERTOFF November 28 1953: Michael Chertoff is born in NJ of Rabbi Gershon Chertoff and Israeli-citizen mother, Livia Eisen, who worked for Israel’s El Al airlines. Michael Chertoff’s birth certificate registers him as a dual-citizen of Israel and USA. His Loyalty is to Israel more than the US. 1953-1970: Under his father’s tutelage, Chertoff is drilled in Zionist ideology and the Talmud. The Talmud teaches hatred towards Christians. The Talmud blasphemes Jesus Christ. The Talmud teaches that Christianity is idolatry. (Same like Wahabism and ISIS) June 12 1988: Chertoff marries Jew Meryl Justin, co-chair of the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) civil rights committee. His two children attend Jewish private schools. June 1978: After graduating Harvard Law School, Chertoff begins his career in Jewish law firms and later in public service. June 1978: Chertoff is instrumental figure in drafting the USA Patriot Act. May 24 2001: Chertoff appointed by President Bush as head of Criminal Division of the Justice Department’s US Attorney-General Office. In this position Chertoff is chief-architect of Bush’s War on Terrorism. Chertoff concocts an Al Quaida connection with fugitive Osama Bin Laden directing 9-11 activities from a cave in Afghanistan. Chertoff does this to divert focus on Israel’s complicity in the World Trade Center bombing. February 15 2005: Sworn in as Secretary of US Homeland Security, no one is aware that Chertoff has dual citizenship in Israel and USA. Chertoff immediately goes to work on implementing the Anti-Christian North American Union. August 27 2007: Chertoff speaks before the International Association of the Chiefs of Police. He tells them: “We now have a capability of potential terrorists to radicalize themselves over the Internet. They never have to go to a terrorist training camp. These are the kind of terrorists that we may not be able to detect with spies and satellites.” ON AUGUST 27 2007 the Jew Michael Chertoff, Secretary of US Homeland Security gave a speech before the International Association of the Chiefs of Police. The Anti Christ Jew Chertoff told them: — “Disaffected people living in the US may develop radical ideologies and potentially violent skills over the Internet, something that can present the next major security threat to the nation and to the world.
We now have a capability of potential terrorists to radicalize themselves over the Internet. They never have to go to a terrorist training camp. These are the kind of terrorists that we may not be able to detect with spies and satellites.” — See: Chertoff: Radical Ideologies Threaten Internet Here But how will Big Brother Jew Chertoff decide who are the “disaffected people?” Those who criticize the Jews? (We are in the minority you know…). See: Chertoff: Radical Ideologies Threaten Internet Here As head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, Chertoff allowed suspected Israeli terrorists to return to Israel: # September 11 2001: Israeli suspects working for the phony moving company, Urban Moving Systems from Weehawken, N.J., are caught driving moving vans near the World Trade Center in NY City which tested positive for explosives. # September 11 2001: One group of 5 Israelis of Urban Moving Systems are seen on the roof of a nearby building videotaping and celebrating the destruction of the World Trade Center. # September 11 2001: A “Dominic Suter” (fake name) the owner of Urban Moving Systems, which was found to be a Mossad front company, flees to Israel with Michael Chertoff’s aid. This was right after FBI agents requested a second interview. # September 21 2001: Michael Chertoff arranges for the group of 5 Israeli workers, (Mossad agents), of Urban Moving Systems, to be returned to Israel on “visa violations.”
JEW CHERTOFF’S NORTH AMERICAN UNION PLAN September 22 2005: Chertoff implements the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). The SPP is designed “to promote security and business partnerships between the North American nations February 16, 2007: Chertoff and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, (two of three Cabinet heads overseeing the SPP), Chertoff, the chief architect of George W. Bush’s War On Terrorism unfolds his plan to use the pretext of the War on Terrorism to merge large corporations, government power, military interests, and police law enforcement, into a “secure” yet prosperous North American Union. In such a scenario, powerful elites, namely, Jews, like Michael Chertoff, will rule. The goal of the Zionists is to control the world via USA and the government of other leading nations. They do not have to control 100% they just have to control the key positions of security, finance and media. The rest will fall into their place.
They are working and succeeding at destroy America’s sovereignty and Christian heritage. The Israeli lobby control the US government and every president must go give his give assurances to the AIPAC, which is a proxy for Israel and the Zionist Antichristbefore he can get elected. We must be aware of Zionist appointments to high places and Jewish hopefuls for Congress and Senate positions. Then we simply use our voting power and protests to deny Jews their desire to rule over us.
Signs, Symbols and Actions of Antichrist: 2 Thessalonians 2 dealing with the Antichrist power. “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; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; The Zionist media Extermist Jewish and Athiest of Jewish traditions have been making fun of Jesus and Christianity without any repercussion, under the name of freedom of speech. But we someone critisim the Poisonous Zionist propoganday they halt freedom of speech and brand them as anti-semite and racists. That is the tickery, deception and unfair tactics of the spirit of Antichrist.
Amazing facts.org (Paster Doug Batcholer) Does the temple need to be rebuilt before Jesus returns? In the same way that the devil has misdirected our focus from spiritual Israel to the literal headlines and events revolving around the material Zionist state today, he has also confused people on the subject of the temple. Most of the speculation and hopes for a rebuilt temple spring from a vague reference in 2 Thessalonians 2 dealing with the Antichrist power. “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; 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” (vs. 3, 4).
Many say that for the Antichrist to sit in the temple, it will obviously have to be rebuilt. Those who support this belief are known as Christian Zionists, and they include such popular writers as Grant Jeffrey,Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, and John Hagee,whose combined published book sales exceed 70 million in more than 50 languages—including the popular Left Behind series. Their beliefs are endorsed by some of the largest theological colleges and institutions, as well as a significant portion of evangelical, Pentecostal, and fundamentalist Christians worldwide. The are the false prophets of the Antichrist. They are all linkedin to Israel, the Mossad and the Israeli Lobbies
However, even a cursory study of Scriptures will show the error behind this notion. To begin, we can go to 1 Chronicles 17:11, 12 to a dual prophecy concerning the temple. “And it shall come to pass … that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build me a house, and I will stablish his throne forever.” This is a prophecy given to King David, which clearly says his offspring will rebuild the temple. Later, in 1 Chronicles 28:6, God reaffirms to David, “Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts.” Indeed, Solomon was the son of David and he built the physical temple. So it is a past event not a future event in today’s time period. Some Christian Scholars this prophecy also applies spiritually to Jesus, who was to build a House (church) and (a spiritual) kingdom that was to last forever. Jesus’ prophecy that the pride of the Jewish nation, the temple, would be destroyed inspired the most intense rejection of His teaching. “And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down” (Matthew 24:1, 2). And in Mark 14:58, Jesus says, “I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.” Of course, Jesus is making it very clear. Yet Zionist led pastors would intentionally misinterept the bible and poison your thought with exactly the opposite of what Jesus have told us. They go against the spirit and the teaching of the Christ and promote his enemies. They are the false prophets of the Antichrist. He is speaking of rebuilding a temple not out of stone and nails, but of living stones (1 Peter 2:5). “Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body” (John 2:20, 21). Their blindness to this clear explanation was used to mock Jesus as He hung on the cross. “Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross”(Matthew 27:40). When Jesus died, the veil in the physical temple ripped in two from the top to bottom, signifying that the earthly temple no longer held meaning. A temple for sacrifice today would be as useless as it was then, and it would not be the house of God. The New Testament is replete with the idea that the temple is the body of Jesus Himself. The next few Scriptures bear this out: Ephesians 2:19–22 says, “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God: And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.” This is later affirmed by 1 Peter 2:5, which says, “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.” Sadly, even after God provides all this clear biblical evidence that His temple today is a spiritual one, many Christians are fooled by the Zionist propaganda and donating money and supporting them politically to
rebuild a physical temple on site where a Muslim mosque now sits. However, there is no prophecy, promise, or commandment in the Bible that says the physical temple would ever be rebuilt after the Romans last razed it.

Antichrist 666 In contrast to those who keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus, the third angel points to another class, against whose errors a solemn and fearful warning is uttered: "If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God." Revelation 14:9, 10. A correct interpretation of the symbols employed is necessary to an understanding of this message. What is represented by the beast, the image, the mark? The line of prophecy in which these symbols are found begins with Revelation 12, with the dragon that sought to destroy Christ at His birth. The dragon is said to be Satan (Revelation 12:9); But the chief agent of Satan in making war upon Christ and His people during all times from the birth to various Era from the Roman Empire until today. Thus while the serpent (snake) and the dragon (a flying snake who blows fire on the faithful, primarily, represents Satan, it is, also, a symbol the evil Jews who rejected God. The ancient people of Israel were called the people of the Serpent. God sent Moses to them and those who accepted Moses become the good Jews and those who rejected Moses, invited God’s wrath. Then God sent Jesus to them and they had him killed. In chapter 13 (verses 1-10) is described another beast, "like unto a leopard," to which the dragon gave "his power, and his seat, and great authority." This symbol, represents Israel and/or USA Zionists, which succeeded to the power and seat and authority once held by the ancient Roman empire. Of the leopardlike beast it is declared: "There was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies. . . . And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations." This prophecy, which is nearly identical with the description of the little horn of Daniel 7, unquestionably points to the Israel. "Power was given unto him to continue forty and two months." And, says the prophet, "I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death." And again: "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword."
America In Prophecy At this point another symbol is introduced. Says the prophet: "I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb." Verse 11. Both the appearance of this beast and the manner of its rise indicate that the nation which it represents is unlike those presented under the preceding symbols. The great kingdoms that have ruled the world were presented to the prophet Daniel as beasts of prey, rising when "the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea." Daniel 7:2. In Revelation 17 an angel explained that waters represent "peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." Revelation 17:15. Winds are a symbol of strife. The four winds of heaven striving upon the great sea represent the terrible scenes of conquest and revolution by which kingdoms have attained to power. What nation of the New World rose into power, giving promise of strength and greatness, and attracting the attention of the world? United States of America. A prominent writer, describing the rise of the United States, speaks of "the mystery of her coming forth from vacancy," and says: "Like a silent seed we grew into empire."--G. A. Townsend, The New World Compared With the Old, page 462. A European journal in 1850 spoke of the United States as a wonderful empire, which was "emerging," and "amid the silence of the earth daily adding to its power and pride." --The Dublin Nation. "And he had two horns like a lamb." The lamblike horns indicate youth, innocence, and gentleness, fitly representing the character of the United States when presented to the prophet as "coming up" in 1798. So the beast looks peaceful like a lamb but is monster. Among the Christian exiles who first fled to America and sought an asylum from royal oppression and priestly intolerance were many who determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty. Their views found place in the Declaration of Independence, which sets forth the great truth that "all men are created equal" and endowed with the inalienable right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." And the Constitution guarantees to the people the right of selfgovernment, providing that representatives elected by the popular vote shall enact and administer the laws. Freedom of religious faith was also granted, every man being permitted to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. These principles are the secret of its power and prosperity. The oppressed and downtrodden throughout Christendom have turned to this land with interest and hope. Millions have sought its shores, and the United States has risen to a place among the most powerful nations of the earth. But the beast with lamblike horns "spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed; . . . saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live." Revelation 13:11-14. America after world war 2 and the persecution of the Zionists, used it military might to support Israel (Antichrist) after its creation and is known to be the enforcer against all its enemies.
The lamblike horns and dragon voice of the symbol point to a striking contradiction between the professions and the practice of the nation thus represented. The "speaking" of the nation is the action of its legislative and judicial authorities. By such action it will give the lie to those liberal and peaceful principles which it has put forth as the foundation of its policy. The prediction that it will speak "as a dragon" and exercise "all the power of the first beast" plainly foretells a development of the spirit of intolerance and persecution that was manifested by the nations represented by the dragon and the leopardlike beast. And the statement that the beast with two horns "causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast" indicates that the authority of this nation is to be exercised in enforcing some observance which shall be an act of homage to the papacy. Such action would be directly contrary to the principles of this government, to the genius of its free institutions, to the direct and solemn avowals of the Declaration of Independence, and to the Constitution. The founders of the nation wisely sought to guard against the employment of secular power on the part of the church, with its inevitable result-- intolerance and persecution. The Constitution provides that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," and that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office of public trust under the United States." Only in flagrant violation of these safeguards to the nation's liberty, can any religious observance be enforced by civil authority. But the inconsistency of such action is no greater than is represented in the symbol. It is the beast with lamblike horns--in profession pure, gentle, and harmless--that speaks as a dragon. "Saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast." Here is clearly presented a form of government in which the legislative power rests with the people, a most striking evidence that the United States is the nation denoted in the prophecy. But what is the "image to the beast"? and how is it to be formed? The image is made by the two-horned beast, and is an image to the beast. It is also called an image of the beast. Then to learn what the image is like and how it is to be formed we must study the characteristics of the beast itself--the papacy. When the early church became corrupted by departing from the simplicity of the gospel and accepting heathen rites and customs, she lost the Spirit and power of God; and in order to control the consciences of the people, she sought the support of the secular power. The result was the papacy, a church that controlled the power of the state and employed it to further her own ends, especially for the punishment of "heresy." In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends. Whenever the church has obtained secular power, she has employed it to punish dissent from her doctrines. Protestant churches that have followed in the steps of Rome by forming alliance with worldly powers have manifested a similar desire to restrict liberty of conscience. An example of this is given in the long-continued persecution of dissenters by the Church of England. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, thousands of nonconformist ministers were forced to flee from their churches, and many, both of pastors and people, were subjected to fine, imprisonment, torture, and martyrdom.
It was apostasy that led the early church to seek the aid of the civil government, and this prepared the way for the development of the papacy--the beast. Said Paul: "There" shall "come a falling away, . . . and that man of sin be revealed." 2 Thessalonians 2:3. So apostasy in the church will prepare the way for the image to the beast. The Bible declares that before the coming of the Lord there will exist a state of religious declension similar to that in the first centuries. "In the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof." 2 Timothy 3:1-5. "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils." 1 Timothy 4:1. Satan will work "with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness." And all that "received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved," will be left to accept "strong delusion, that they should believe a lie." 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11. When this state of ungodliness shall be reached, the same results will follow as in the first centuries. The wide diversity of belief in the Protestant churches is regarded by many as decisive proof that no effort to secure a forced uniformity can ever be made. But there has been for years, in churches of the Protestant faith, a strong and growing sentiment in favor of a union based upon common points of doctrine. To secure such a union, the discussion of subjects upon which all were not agreed--however important they might be from a Bible standpoint--must necessarily be waived. Charles Beecher, in a sermon in the year 1846, declared that the ministry of "the evangelical Protestant denominations" is "not only formed all the way up under a tremendous pressure of merely human fear, but they live, and move, and breathe in a state of things radically corrupt, and appealing every hour to every baser element of their nature to hush up the truth, and bow the knee to the power of apostasy. Was not this the way things went with Rome? Are we not living her life over again? And what do we see just ahead? Another general council! A world's convention! Evangelical alliance, and universal creed!"-Sermon on "The Bible a Sufficient Creed," delivered at Fort Wayne, Indiana, Feb. 22, 1846. When this shall be gained, then, in the effort to secure complete uniformity, it will be only a step to the resort to force.
When the leading churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence the state to enforce their decrees and to sustain their institutions, then Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitably result.
The Mark of a False Religion "When religion is good, it will take care of itself. When it is not able to take care of itself, and God does not see fit to take care of it, so that it has to appeal to the civil power for support, it is evidence to my mind that its cause is a bad one."
The beast with two horns "causeth [commands] all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his Benjamin Franklin, Statesman, name." Revelation 13:16, 17. The third angel's warning is: "If any man Inventor, Author, Letter to Dr. worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, Price. or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God." Learn about the Mark of the "The beast" mentioned in this message, whose worship is enforced by Beast the two-horned beast, is the first, or leopardlike beast of Revelation 13--the papacy. The "image to the beast" represents that form of apostate Protestantism which will be developed when the Protestant churches shall seek the aid of the civil power for the enforcement of their dogmas. The "mark of the beast" still remains to be defined.
Mark of the Beast After the warning against the worship of the beast and his image the prophecy declares: "Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." Since those who keep God's commandments are thus placed in contrast with those that worship the beast and his image and receive his mark, it follows that the keeping of God's law, on the one hand, and its violation, on the other, will make the distinction between the worshipers of God and the worshipers of the beast. The special characteristic of the beast, and therefore of his image, is the breaking of God's commandments. Says Daniel, of the little horn, the papacy: "He shall think to change times and the law." Daniel 7:25, R.V. And Paul styled the same power the "man of sin," who was to exalt himself above God. One prophecy is a complement of the other. Only by changing God's law could the papacy exalt itself above God; whoever should understandingly keep the law as thus changed would be giving supreme honor to that power by which the change was made. Such an act of obedience to papal laws would be a mark of allegiance to the pope in the place of God. The papacy has attempted to change the law of God. The second commandment, forbidding image worship, has been dropped from the law, and the fourth commandment has been so changed as to authorize the observance of the first instead of the seventh day as the Sabbath. But papists urge, as a reason for omitting the second commandment, that it is unnecessary, being included in the first, and that they are giving the law exactly as God designed it to be understood. This cannot be the change foretold by the prophet. An intentional, deliberate change is presented: "He shall think to change the times and the law." The change in the fourth commandment exactly fulfills the prophecy. For this the only authority
claimed is that of the church. Here the papal power openly sets itself above God. While the worshipers of God will be especially distinguished by their regard for the fourth commandment,--since this is the sign of His creative power and the witness to His claim upon man's reverence and homage,--the worshipers of the beast will be distinguished by their efforts to tear down the Creator's memorial, to exalt the institution of Rome. It was in behalf of the Sunday that popery first asserted its arrogant claims; and its first resort to the power of the state was to compel the observance of Sunday as "the Lord's day." But the Bible points to the seventh day, and not to the first, as the Lord's day. Said Christ: "The Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath." The fourth commandment declares: "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord." And by the prophet Isaiah the Lord designates it: "My holy day." Mark 2:28; Isaiah 58:13. The claim so often put forth that Christ changed the Sabbath is disproved by His own words. In His Sermon on the Mount He said: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven," Matthew 5:17-19. It is a fact generally admitted by Protestants that the Scriptures give no authority for the change of the Sabbath. This is plainly stated in publications issued by the American Tract Society and the American Sunday School Union. One of these works acknowledges "the complete silence of the New Testament so far as any explicit command for the Sabbath [Sunday, the first day of the week] or definite rules for its observance are concerned."--George Elliott, The Abiding Sabbath, page 184. Another says: "Up to the time of Christ's death, no change had been made in the day;" and, "so far as the record shows, they [the apostles] did not . . . give any explicit command enjoining the abandonment of the seventh-day Sabbath, and its observance on the first day of the week."--A. E. Waffle, The Lord's Day, pages 186-188. Roman Catholics acknowledge that the change of the Sabbath was made by their church, and declare that Protestants by observing the Sunday are recognizing her power. In the Catholic Catechism of Christian Religion, in answer to a question as to the day to be observed in obedience to the fourth commandment, this statement is made: "During the old law, Saturday was the day sanctified; but the church, instructed by Jesus Christ, and directed by the Spirit of God, has substituted Sunday for Saturday; so now we sanctify the first, not the seventh day. Sunday means, and now is, the day of the Lord." As the sign of the authority of the Catholic Church, papist writers cite "the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of; . . . because by keeping Sunday, they acknowledge the church's power to ordain feasts, and to command them under sin."--Henry Tuberville, An Abridgment of the Christian Doctrine, page 58. What then is the change of the Sabbath, but the sign, or mark, of the authority of the Roman Church--"the mark of the beast"?
The Roman Church has not relinquished her claim to supremacy; and when the world and the Protestant churches accept a sabbath of her creating, while they reject the Bible Sabbath, they virtually admit this assumption. They may claim the authority of tradition and of the Fathers for the change; but in so doing they ignore the very principle which separates them from Rome--that "the Bible, and the Bible only, is the religion of Protestants." The papist can see that they are deceiving themselves, willingly closing their eyes to the facts in the case. As the movement for Sunday enforcement gains favor, he rejoices, feeling assured that it will eventually bring the whole Protestant world under the banner of Rome. Romanists declare that "the observance of Sunday by the Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the [Catholic] Church."--Mgr. Segur, Plain Talk About the Protestantism of Today, page 213. The enforcement of Sundaykeeping on the part of Protestant churches is an enforcement of the worship of the papacy--of the beast. Those who, understanding the claims of the fourth commandment, choose to observe the false instead of the true Sabbath are thereby paying homage to that power by which alone it is commanded. But in the very act of enforcing a religious duty by secular power, the churches would themselves form an image to the beast; hence the enforcement of Sundaykeeping in the United States would be an enforcement of the worship of the beast and his image. But Christians of past generations observed the Sunday, supposing that in so doing they were keeping the Bible Sabbath; and there are now true Christians in every church, and even in the Roman Catholic church, who honestly believe that Sunday is the Sabbath of divine appointment. God accepts their sincerity of purpose and their integrity before Him. But when Sunday observance shall be enforced by law, and the world shall be enlightened concerning the obligation of the true Sabbath, then whoever shall transgress the command of God, to obey a precept which has no higher authority than that of Rome, will thereby honor popery above God. He is paying homage to Rome and to the power which enforces the institution ordained by Rome. He is worshipping the beast and his image. As men then reject the Seventh-Day Sabbath which God has declared to be the sign of His authority, and honor in its stead, Sunday, which Rome has chosen as the token of her supremacy, they will thereby accept the sign of allegiance to Rome-"the mark of the beast." And it is not until the issue is thus plainly set before the people, and they are brought to choose between the commandments of God and the commandments of men, that those who continue in transgression will receive "the mark of the beast." The most fearful threatening ever addressed to mortals is contained in the third angel's message. That must be a terrible sin which calls down the wrath of God unmingled with mercy. Men are not to be left in darkness concerning this important matter; the warning against this sin is to be given to the world before the visitation of God's judgments, that all may know why they are to be inflicted, and have opportunity to escape them. Prophecy declares that the first angel would make his announcement to "every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people." The warning of the third angel, which forms a part of the same threefold message, is to be no less widespread. It is represented in the prophecy as being proclaimed with a loud voice, by an angel flying in the midst of heaven; and it will command the attention of the world. In the issue of the contest all Christendom will be divided into two great classes--those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and those who worship the beast and his image and receive his mark. Although church and state will unite their power to compel "all, both small and great,
rich and poor, free and bond" (Revelation 13:16), to receive "the mark of the beast," yet the people of God will not receive it. The prophet of Patmos beholds "them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God" and singing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Revelation 15:2, 3.
Preparing for Trial Wherever the word of God has been faithfully preached, results have followed that attested its divine origin. The Spirit of God accompanied the message of His servants, and the word was with power. Sinners felt their consciences quickened. The "light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world" illumined the secret chambers of their souls, and the hidden things of darkness were made manifest. Deep conviction took hold upon their minds and hearts. They were convinced of sin and of righteousness and of judgment to come. They had a sense of the righteousness of Jehovah and felt the terror of appearing, in their guilt and uncleanness, before the Searcher of hearts. In anguish they cried out: "Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" As the cross of Calvary, with its infinite sacrifice for the sins of men, was revealed, they saw that nothing but the merits of Christ could suffice to atone for their transgressions; this alone could reconcile man to God. With faith and humility they accepted the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world. Through the blood of Jesus they had "remission of sins that are past." These souls brought forth fruit meet for repentance. They believed and were baptized, and rose to walk in newness of life--new creatures in Christ Jesus; not to fashion themselves according to the former lusts, but by the faith of the Son of God to follow in His steps, to reflect His character, and to purify themselves even as He is pure. The things they once hated they now loved, and the things they once loved they hated. The proud and self-assertive became meek and lowly of heart. The vain and supercilious became serious and unobtrusive. The profane became reverent, the drunken sober, and the profligate pure. The vain fashions of the world were laid aside. Christians sought not the "outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but . . . the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price." 1 Peter 3:3, 4. Revivals brought deep heart-searching and humility. They were characterized by solemn, earnest appeals to the sinner, by yearning compassion for the purchase of the blood of Christ. Men and women prayed and wrestled with God for the salvation of souls. The fruits of such revivals were seen in souls who shrank not at self-denial and sacrifice, but rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer reproach and trial for the sake of Christ. Men beheld a transformation in the lives of those who had professed the name of Jesus. The community was benefited by their influence. This is the result of the work of the Spirit of God. There is no evidence of genuine repentance unless it works reformation. If he restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, confess his sins, and love God and his fellow men, the sinner may be sure that he has found peace with God. Such were the effects that in former years followed seasons of religious awakening. Judged by their fruits, they were known to be blessed of God in
the salvation of men and the uplifting of humanity. But many of the revivals of modern times have presented a marked contrast to those manifestations of divine grace which in earlier days followed the labors of God's servants. It is true that a widespread interest is kindled, many profess conversion, and there are large accessions to the churches; nevertheless the results are not such as to warrant the belief that there has been a corresponding increase of real spiritual life. The light which flames up for a time soon dies out, leaving the darkness more dense than before. Popular revivals are too often carried by appeals to the imagination, by exciting the emotions, by gratifying the love for what is new and startling. Converts thus gained have little desire to listen to Bible truth, little interest in the testimony of prophets and apostles. Unless a religious service has something of a sensational character, it has no attractions for them. A message which appeals to unimpassioned reason awakens no response. The plain warnings of God's word, relating directly to their eternal interests, are unheeded. With every truly converted soul the relation to God and to eternal things will be the great topic of life. But where, in the popular churches of today, is the spirit of consecration to God? The converts do not renounce their pride and love of the world. They are no more willing to deny self, to take up the cross, and follow the meek and lowly Jesus, than before their conversion. Religion has become the sport of infidels and skeptics because so many who bear its name are ignorant of its principles. The power of godliness has well-nigh departed from many of the churches. Picnics(Carnivals), church theatricals, church fairs, fine houses, personal display, have banished thoughts of God. Lands and goods and worldly occupations engross the mind, and things of eternal interest receive hardly a passing notice. Notwithstanding the widespread declension of faith and piety, there are true followers of Christ in these churches. Before the final visitation of God's judgments upon the earth there will be among the people of the Lord such a revival of primitive godliness as has not been witnessed since apostolic times. The Spirit and power of God will be poured out upon His children. At that time many will separate themselves from those churches in which the love of this world has supplanted love for God and His word. Many, both of ministers and people, will gladly accept those great truths which God has caused to be proclaimed at this time to prepare a people for the Lord's second coming. The enemy of souls desires to hinder this work; and before the time for such a movement shall come, he will endeavor to prevent it by introducing a counterfeit. In those churches which he can bring under his deceptive power he will make it appear that God's special blessing is poured out; there will be manifest what is thought to be great religious interest. Multitudes will exult that God is working marvelously for them, when the work is that of another spirit. Under a religious guise, Satan will seek to extend his influence over the Christian world. In many of the revivals which have occurred during the last half century, the same influences have been at work, to a greater or less degree, that will be manifest in the more extensive movements of the future. There is an emotional excitement, a mingling of the true with the false, that is well adapted to mislead.
Yet none need be deceived. In the light of God's word it is not difficult to determine the nature of these movements. Wherever men neglect the testimony of the Bible, turning away from those plain, soultesting truths which require self-denial and renunciation of the world, there we may be sure that God's blessing is not bestowed. And by the rule which Christ Himself has given, "Ye shall know them by their fruits" (Matthew 7:16), it is evident that these movements are not the work of the Spirit of God. In the truths of His word, God has given to men a revelation of Himself; and to all who accept them they are a shield against the deceptions of Satan. It is a neglect of these truths that has opened the door to the evils which are now becoming so widespread in the religious world. The nature and the importance of the law of God have been, to a great extent, lost sight of. A wrong conception of the character, the perpetuity, and the obligation of the divine law has led to errors in relation to conversion and sanctification, and has resulted in lowering the standard of piety in the church. Here is to be found the secret of the lack of the Spirit and power of God in the revivals of our time. There are, in the various denominations, men eminent for their piety, by whom this fact is acknowledged and deplored. Professor Edwards A. Park, in setting forth the current religious perils, ably says: "One source of danger is the neglect of the pulpit to enforce the divine law. In former days the pulpit was an echo of the voice of conscience. . . . Our most illustrious preachers gave a wonderful majesty to their discourses by following the example of the Master, and giving prominence to the law, its precepts, and its threatenings. They repeated the two great maxims, that the law is a transcript of the divine perfections, and that a man who does not love the law does not love the gospel; for the law, as well as the gospel, is a mirror reflecting the true character of God. This peril leads to another, that of underrating the evil of sin, the extent of it, the demerit of it. In proportion to the rightfulness of the commandment is the wrongfulness of disobeying it. . . . "Affiliated to the dangers already named is the danger of underestimating the justice of God. The tendency of the modern pulpit is to strain out the divine justice from the divine benevolence, to sink benevolence into a sentiment rather than exalt it into a principle. The new theological prism puts asunder what God has joined together. Is the divine law a good or an evil? It is a good. Then justice is good; for it is a disposition to execute the law. From the habit of underrating the divine law and justice, the extent and demerit of human disobedience, men easily slide into the habit of underestimating the grace which has provided an atonement for sin." Thus the gospel loses its value and importance in the minds of men, and soon they are ready practically to cast aside the Bible itself. Many religious teachers assert that Christ by His death abolished the law, and men are henceforth free from its requirements. There are some who represent it as a grievous yoke, and in contrast to the bondage of the law they present the liberty to be enjoyed under the gospel. But not so did prophets and apostles regard the holy law of God. Said David: "I will walk at liberty: for I seek Thy precepts." Psalm 119:45. The apostle James, who wrote after the death of Christ, refers to the Decalogue as "the royal law" and "the perfect law of liberty." James 2:8; 1:25. And the revelator, half a century after the crucifixion, pronounces a blessing upon them "that do His commandments, that they
may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." Revelation 22:14. The claim that Christ by His death abolished His Father's law is without foundation. Had it been possible for the law to be changed or set aside, then Christ need not have died to save man from the penalty of sin. The death of Christ, so far from abolishing the law, proves that it is immutable. The Son of God came to "magnify the law, and make it honorable." Isaiah 42:21. He said: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law;" "till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law." Matthew 5:17, 18. And concerning Himself He declares: "I delight to do Thy will, O my God: yea, Thy law is within My heart." Psalm 40:8. The law of God, from its very nature, is unchangeable. It is a revelation of the will and the character of its Author. God is love, and His law is love. Its two great principles are love to God and love to man. "Love is the fulfilling of the law." Romans 13:10. The character of God is righteousness and truth; such is the nature of His law. Says the psalmist: "Thy law is the truth:" "all Thy commandments are righteousness." Psalm 119:142, 172. And the apostle Paul declares: "The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good." Romans 7:12. Such a law, being an expression of the mind and will of God, must be as enduring as its Author. It is the work of conversion and sanctification to reconcile men to God by bringing them into accord with the principles of His law. In the beginning, man was created in the image of God. He was in perfect harmony with the nature and the law of God; the principles of righteousness were written upon his heart. But sin alienated him from his Maker. He no longer reflected the divine image. His heart was at war with the principles of God's law. "The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." Romans 8:7. But "God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son," that man might be reconciled to God. Through the merits of Christ he can be restored to harmony with his Maker. His heart must be renewed by divine grace; he must have a new life from above. This change is the new birth, without which, says Jesus, "he cannot see the kingdom of God." The first step in reconciliation to God is the conviction of sin. "Sin is the transgression of the law." "By the law is the knowledge of sin." 1 John 3:4; Romans 3:20. In order to see his guilt, the sinner must test his character by God's great standard of righteousness. It is a mirror which shows the perfection of a righteous character and enables him to discern the defects in his own. The law reveals to man his sins, but it provides no remedy. While it promises life to the obedient, it declares that death is the portion of the transgressor. The gospel of Christ alone can free him from the condemnation or the defilement of sin. He must exercise repentance toward God, whose law has been transgressed; and faith in Christ, his atoning sacrifice. Thus he obtains "remission of sins that are past" and becomes a partaker of the divine nature. He is a child of God, having received the spirit of adoption, whereby he cries: "Abba, Father!" Is he now free to transgress God's law? Says Paul: "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." "How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" And John declares: "This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous." Romans 3:31; 6:2; 1 John 5:3. In the new birth the heart is brought into harmony with God, as
it is brought into accord with His law. When this mighty change has taken place in the sinner, he has passed from death unto life, from sin unto holiness, from transgression and rebellion to obedience and loyalty. The old life of alienation from God has ended; the new life of reconciliation, of faith and love, has begun. Then "the righteousness of the law" will "be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:4. And the language of the soul will be: "O how love I Thy law! it is my meditation all the day." Psalm 119:97. "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul." Psalm 19:7. Without the law, men have no just conception of the purity and holiness of God or of their own guilt and uncleanness. They have no true conviction of sin and feel no need of repentance. Not seeing their lost condition as violators of God's law, they do not realize their need of the atoning blood of Christ. The hope of salvation is accepted without a radical change of heart or reformation of life. Thus superficial conversions abound, and multitudes are joined to the church who have never been united to Christ. Erroneous theories of sanctification, also, springing from neglect or rejection of the divine law, have a prominent place in the religious movements of the day. These theories are both false in doctrine and dangerous in practical results; and the fact that they are so generally finding favor, renders it doubly essential that all have a clear understanding of what the Scriptures teach upon this point. True sanctification is a Bible doctrine. The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Thessalonian church, declares: "This is the will of God, even your sanctification." And he prays: "The very God of peace sanctify you wholly." 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 5:23. The Bible clearly teaches what sanctification is and how it is to be attained. The Saviour prayed for His disciples: "Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth." John 17:17. And Paul teaches that believers are to be "sanctified by the Holy Ghost." Romans 15:16. What is the work of the Holy Spirit? Jesus told His disciples: "When He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth." John 16:13. And the psalmist says: "Thy law is the truth." By the word and the Spirit of God are opened to men the great principles of righteousness embodied in His law. And since the law of God is "holy, and just, and good," a transcript of the divine perfection, it follows that a character formed by obedience to that law will be holy. Christ is a perfect example of such a character. He says: "I have kept My Father's commandments." "I do always those things that please Him." John 15:10; 8:29. The followers of Christ are to become like Him--by the grace of God to form characters in harmony with the principles of His holy law. This is Bible sanctification. This work can be accomplished only through faith in Christ, by the power of the indwelling Spirit of God. Paul admonishes believers: "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure." Philippians 2:12, 13. The Christian will feel the promptings of sin, but he will maintain a constant warfare against it. Here is where Christ's help is needed. Human weakness becomes united to divine strength, and faith exclaims: "Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:57. The Scriptures plainly show that the work of sanctification is progressive. When in conversion the sinner finds peace with God through the blood of the atonement, the Christian life has but just begun. Now he is to "go on unto perfection;" to grow up "unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." Says the apostle Paul: "This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto
those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13, 14. And Peter sets before us the steps by which Bible sanctification is to be attained: "Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. . . . If ye do these things, ye shall never fall." 2 Peter 1:5-10. Those who experience the sanctification of the Bible will manifest a spirit of humility. Like Moses, they have had a view of the awful majesty of holiness, and they see their own unworthiness in contrast with the purity and exalted perfection of the Infinite One. The prophet Daniel was an example of true sanctification. His long life was filled up with noble service for his Master. He was a man "greatly beloved" (Daniel 10:11) of Heaven. Yet instead of claiming to be pure and holy, this honored prophet identified himself with the really sinful of Israel as he pleaded before God in behalf of his people: "We do not present our supplications before Thee for our righteousness, but for Thy great mercies." "We have sinned, we have done wickedly." He declares: "I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people." And when at a later time the Son of God appeared, to give him instruction, Daniel says: "My comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength." Daniel 9:18, 15, 20; 10:8. When Job heard the voice of the Lord out of the whirlwind, he exclaimed: "I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." Job 42:6. It was when Isaiah saw the glory of the Lord, and heard the cherubim crying, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts," that he cried out, "Woe is me! for I am undone." Isaiah 6:3, 5. Paul, after he was caught up into the third heaven and heard things which it was not possible for a man to utter, speaks of himself as "less than the least of all saints." 2 Corinthians 12:2-4, margin; Ephesians 3:8. It was the beloved John, who leaned on Jesus' breast and beheld His glory, that fell as one dead before the feet of the angel. Revelation 1:17. There can be no self-exaltation, no boastful claim to freedom from sin, on the part of those who walk in the shadow of Calvary's cross. They feel that it was their sin which caused the agony that broke the heart of the Son of God, and this thought will lead them to self-abasement. Those who live nearest to Jesus discern most clearly the frailty and sinfulness of humanity, and their only hope is in the merit of a crucified and risen Saviour. The sanctification now gaining prominence in the religious world carries with it a spirit of self-exaltation and a disregard for the law of God that mark it as foreign to the religion of the Bible. Its advocates teach that sanctification is an instantaneous work, by which, through faith alone, they attain to perfect holiness. "Only believe," say they, "and the blessing is yours." No further effort on the part of the receiver is supposed to be required. At the same time they deny the authority of the law of God, urging that they are released from obligation to keep the commandments. But is it possible for men to be holy, in accord with the will and character of God, without coming into harmony with the principles which are an expression of His nature and will, and which show what is well pleasing to Him? The desire for an easy religion that requires no striving, no self-denial, no divorce from the follies of the world, has made the doctrine of faith, and faith only, a popular doctrine; but what saith the word of God?
Says the apostle James: "What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? . . . Wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? . . . Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." James 2:14-24. The testimony of the word of God is against this ensnaring doctrine of faith without works. It is not faith that claims the favor of Heaven without complying with the conditions upon which mercy is to be granted, it is presumption; for genuine faith has its foundation in the promises and provisions of the Scriptures. Let none deceive themselves with the belief that they can become holy while willfully violating one of God's requirements. The commission of a known sin silences the witnessing voice of the Spirit and separates the soul from God. "Sin is the transgression of the law." And "whosoever sinneth [transgresseth the law] hath not seen Him, neither known Him." 1 John 3:6. Though John in his epistles dwells so fully upon love, yet he does not hesitate to reveal the true character of that class who claim to be sanctified while living in transgression of the law of God. "He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected." 1 John 2:4, 5. Here is the test of every man's profession. We cannot accord holiness to any man without bringing him to the measurement of God's only standard of holiness in heaven and in earth. If men feel no weight of the moral law, if they belittle and make light of God's precepts, if they break one of the least of these commandments, and teach men so, they shall be of no esteem in the sight of Heaven, and we may know that their claims are without foundation. And the claim to be without sin is, in itself, evidence that he who makes this claim is far from holy. It is because he has no true conception of the infinite purity and holiness of God or of what they must become who shall be in harmony with His character; because he has no true conception of the purity and exalted loveliness of Jesus, and the malignity and evil of sin, that man can regard himself as holy. The greater the distance between himself and Christ, and the more inadequate his conceptions of the divine character and requirements, the more righteous he appears in his own eyes. The sanctification set forth in the Scriptures embraces the entire being--spirit, soul, and body. Paul prayed for the Thessalonians that their "whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians 5:23. Again he writes to believers: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God." Romans 12:1. In the time of ancient Israel every offering brought as a sacrifice to God was carefully examined. If any defect was discovered in the animal presented, it was refused; for God had commanded that the offering be "without blemish." So Christians are bidden to present their bodies, "a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God." In order to do this, all their powers must be preserved in the best possible condition. Every practice that weakens physical or mental strength unfits man for the service of his Creator. And will God be pleased with anything less than the best we can offer? Said Christ: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart." Those who do love God with all the heart will desire to give Him the best service of their life, and they will be constantly seeking to bring every power of their being into
harmony with the laws that will promote their ability to do His will. They will not, by the indulgence of appetite or passion, enfeeble or defile the offering which they present to their heavenly Father. Peter says: "Abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul." 1 Peter 2:11. Every sinful gratification tends to benumb the faculties and deaden the mental and spiritual perceptions, and the word or the Spirit of God can make but a feeble impression upon the heart. Paul writes to the Corinthians: "Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." 2 Corinthians 7:1. And with the fruits of the Spirit--"love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness"--he classes "temperance." Galatians 5:22, 23. Notwithstanding these inspired declarations, how many professed Christians are enfeebling their powers in the pursuit of gain or the worship of fashion; how many are debasing their godlike manhood by gluttony, by wine drinking, by forbidden pleasure. And the church, instead of rebuking, too often encourages the evil by appealing to appetite, to desire for gain or love of pleasure, to replenish her treasury, which love for Christ is too feeble to supply. Were Jesus to enter the churches of today and behold the feasting and unholy traffic there conducted in the name of religion, would He not drive out those desecrators, as He banished the money-changers from the temple? The apostle James declares that the wisdom from above is "first pure." Had he encountered those who take the precious name of Jesus upon lips defiled by tobacco, those whose breath and person are contaminated by its foul odor, and who pollute the air of heaven and force all about them to inhale the poison--had the apostle come in contact with a practice so opposed to the purity of the gospel, would he not have denounced it as "earthly, sensual, devilish"? Slaves of tobacco, claiming the blessing of entire sanctification, talk of their hope of heaven; but God's word plainly declares that "there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth." Revelation 21:27. "Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? for ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20. He whose body is the temple of the Holy Spirit will not be enslaved by a pernicious habit. His powers belong to Christ, who has bought him with the price of blood. His property is the Lord's. How could he be guiltless in squandering this entrusted capital? Professed Christians yearly expend an immense sum upon useless and pernicious indulgences, while souls are perishing for the word of life. God is robbed in tithes and offerings, while they consume upon the altar of destroying lust more than they give to relieve the poor or for the support of the gospel. If all who profess to be followers of Christ were truly sanctified, their means, instead of being spent for needless and even hurtful indulgences, would be turned into the Lord's treasury, and Christians would set an example of temperance, self-denial, and self-sacrifice. Then they would be the light of the world. The world is given up to self-indulgence. "The lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life" control the masses of the people. But Christ's followers have a holier calling. "Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean." In the light of God's word we are justified in declaring that sanctification cannot be genuine which does not work this utter renunciation of the sinful pursuits and gratifications of the world.
To those who comply with the conditions, "Come out from among them, and be ye separate, . . . and touch not the unclean," God's promise is, "I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." 2 Corinthians 6:17, 18. It is the privilege and the duty of every Christian to have a rich and abundant experience in the things of God. "I am the light of the world," said Jesus. "He that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12. "The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." Proverbs 4:18. Every step of faith and obedience brings the soul into closer connection with the Light of the world, in whom there "is no darkness at all." The bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness shine upon the servants of God, and they are to reflect His rays. As the stars tell us that there is a great light in heaven with whose glory they are made bright, so Christians are to make it manifest that there is a God on the throne of the universe whose character is worthy of praise and imitation. The graces of His Spirit, the purity and holiness of His character, will be manifest in His witnesses. Paul in his letter to the Colossians sets forth the rich blessings granted to the children of God. He says: We "do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness." Colossians 1:9-11. Again he writes of his desire that the brethren at Ephesus might come to understand the height of the Christian's privilege. He opens before them, in the most comprehensive language, the marvelous power and knowledge that they might possess as sons and daughters of the Most High. It was theirs "to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man," to be "rooted and grounded in love," to "comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge." But the prayer of the apostle reaches the climax of privilege when he prays that "ye might be filled with all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:16-19. Here are revealed the heights of attainment that we may reach through faith in the promises of our heavenly Father, when we fulfill His requirements. Through the merits of Christ we have access to the throne of Infinite Power. "He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" Romans 8:32. The Father gave His Spirit without measure to His Son, and we also may partake of its fullness. Jesus says, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?" Luke 11:13. "If ye shall ask anything in My name, I will do it." "Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full." John 14:14: 16:24. While the Christian's life will be characterized by humility, it should not be marked with sadness and selfdepreciation. It is the privilege of everyone so to live that God will approve and bless him. It is not the will of our heavenly Father that we should be ever under condemnation and darkness. There is no evidence of true humility in going with the head bowed down and the heart filled with thoughts of self. We may go to Jesus and be cleansed, and stand before the law without shame and remorse. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:1. Through Jesus the fallen sons of Adam become "sons of God." "Both He that sanctifieth and they who are
sanctified are all of one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren." Hebrews 2:11. The Christian's life should be one of faith, of victory, and joy in God. "Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." 1 John 5:4. Truly spoke God's servant Nehemiah: "The joy of the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10. And Paul says: "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice." "Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." Philippians 4:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Such are the fruits of Bible conversion and sanctification; and it is because the great principles of righteousness set forth in the law of God are so indifferently regarded by the Christian world that these fruits are so rarely witnessed. This is why there is manifest so little of that deep, abiding work of the Spirit of God which marked revivals in former years. It is by beholding that we become changed. And as those sacred precepts in which God has opened to men the perfection and holiness of His character are neglected, and the minds of the people are attracted to human teachings and theories, what marvel that there has followed a decline of living piety in the church. Saith the Lord: "They have forsaken Me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water." Jeremiah 2:13. "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly. . . . But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." Psalm 1:1-3. It is only as the law of God is restored to its rightful position that there can be a revival of primitive faith and godliness among His professed people. "Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls." Jeremiah 6:16. Will the Antichrist prosper the economy? West is already paving the way for the slave-economic system of the Antichrist. According to Daniel's prophecy, the Antichrist will use the same communist type tactics to gain popularity with the ignorant masses and to gain power over the economy. His greed and ability to control the economy will be unprecedented. "Thus 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). Daniel also foretold of the Antichrist's accumulation of great riches because of his total domination of the economies of the nations under his dictatorial control. "He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels" (Daniel 11:43). "Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; and he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity (Daniel 8:25a).

How will the Antichrist take over the world? He will come upon the world scene offering peace to a very troubled world, according to Daniel, chapter 8. But, he will, through peace, destroy many people according to the prophecy. Revelation, chapter 6 shows the Antichrist coming as the rider on the white horse. He has a bow in his hand, but has no arrows. This symbolizes that he has might but offers peace. This is deceptive because he is by nature, a conqueror; the red horse of war will soon follow. This is the beginning of the campaign called Armageddon. He will come speaking great words that will mesmerize most people. Eventually, he will enslave most of the world with his mark and number system of transacting business. That same system will eventually cause all to worship him as God, or be killed.
Two camps: The Antichrist is a physical person or symbolic character. A single man or or many men through history. End of time is it is end of period part of historical progression cycles or end of life completely on earth. Is the Antichrist symbolic or a real personality? The Antichrist is definitely not just a symbolic symbol. He will be a real, ruthless treacherous person who takes control of the world during the seven-year Tribulation after the church has been removed in the Rapture. Those who take the mistaken amillennialist view try to convince others that the Antichrist is merely a symbolic character but their claim cannot be biblically sustained.
Will the Antichrist have satanic powers? In 2 Thessalonians 2:9, the Antichrist is armed with satanic power: "The coming of the lawless one [Antichrist] is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). Will Satan control the Antichrist? Halfway through the Tribulation Satan will literally be indwelt by the Antichrist. Not only will Satan control the Antichrist he will be living inside him declaring, himself, to be God. After the Rapture he will assume control of the world but under the power of the one-world church (Revelation 17:3). During the second
half of the Tribulation he will rule the world with absolute authority by the power of Satan. He will blaspheme the Lord (Daniel 7:25, Revelation 13:5-6) and persecute and kill those who are left behind, especially those who get saved after the Rapture (Daniel 7:21, 25; Revelation 13:7). "Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God" (2 Thessalonians 2:3-6). "So 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). Who is the counterfeit messiah? The Antichrist will be Satan's counterfeit messiah. Jesus warned in Matthew 24:24 that at the end of the age, in the last days a growing number of false religious leaders would arise. He called them "false christs and false prophets" who would be extremely deceptive, so clever that that many (millions) would be deceived. When the world is desperate for a new leader, Satan's counterfeit messiah--the Antichrist--will be brought before the world. Scripture is clear that all but three nations (Daniel 7:24) will eagerly choose to follow this false messiah rather than the true God of the Bible. Is the Antichrist given a crown when he comes to power? We cannot be sure if he will receive a literal physical crown, it is unlikely but He will be a man of tremendous popularity and will be treated like a king by those whom he has deceived. Revelation 6:2, tells us that this man will be "given a crown." That is, the overall population of the world will embrace him as a superman, the one who can solve all the problems of the world. No doubt this man will arrive on the scene with a plan, a way to achieve world peace. He will have a convincing explanation for the disappearance of the Christians. He will possess all that the world has ever looked for in a leader. It is said that the Antichrist will come as a man of peace. Revelation 6:2, also shows us that when he appears, he will be like one riding a white horse. This gives him the appearance of greatness and goodness. The verse also states that he will have a bow, but no arrows. This indicates that he will not come making war, but will come making peace. "And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer" (Revelation 6:2). What will be the personality of the Antichrist? He will be a very strong and forceful leader with striking features, and a charismatic personality. He will be a narcissist displaying the same wicked pride that caused his father the devil (Lucifer) to rebel against God. The prophet Daniel warned that he would understand "sinister schemes" alluding to his understanding and preference for the occult powers and satanic dominance. The first prophecy in the Bible calls the Antichrist "the seed of Satan" (Genesis 3:15). He will be an evil man during his rise to power but he will not fully take his role as the Antichrist until Satan is permanently
expelled from heaven halfway through the Tribulation. Daniel foretold that his satanic power will allow him to prosper and thrive" in his quest to take over total control over the world's populations. Antichrist will be characterized by his incessant blasphemy against God during the second half of the Tribulation. Both Daniel and John wrote about his blasphemous character traits: "Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every God, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be don" (Daniel 11:36) "And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months" (Revelation 13:5). Who is the "man of sin" or the "son of perdition" in the Bible? The apostle Paul warned about a fierce diabolical personality who will arise and have the power to deceive the masses. The Antichrist is the "man of sin" or the "son of perdition" as Paul expressed in his second letter to the Thessalonians: "Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God" (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). Will the Antichrist prosper the economy? According to Daniel's prophecy, the Antichrist will work to redistribute the wealth of the world. The communists have always gained popularity with the lower economic strata of society by promising to divide the wealth of the rich and middle classes and redistribute their earnings to the poor. An overwhelming sense of entitlement in the under classes in the West is already paving the way for the slave-economic system of the Antichrist. He will use the same communist type tactics to gain popularity with the ignorant masses and to gain power over the economy. His greed and ability to control the economy will be unprecedented. "Thus 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). Daniel also foretold of the Antichrist's accumulation of great riches because of his total domination of the economies of the nations under his dictatorial control. "He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels" (Daniel 11:43). "Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; and he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity (Daniel 8:25a). Will the Antichrist bring peace to the Middle East?
The Antichrist will use his satanically supported skills to produce a false peace treaty (a covenant) in the Middle East. Israel will be fooled into believing this is awesome feat is for their benefit and will treat him as a messianic figure. "Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; but in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate" (Daniel 9:27). The prophet Isaiah foretold that this covenant will appear to be very promising to Israel but it will be in truth a "covenant with death" because the Antichrist will betray them and Israel will be persecuted like never before. Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it will not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood we have hidden ourselves." Does the Antichrist die and come back to life? In the middle of the Tribulation the Antichrist will go to war with some of the nations. Scripture tells us he will be "mortally wounded." This will happen simultaneously with Satan's final removal from heaven. But Satan resuscitates him from the dead and he is left blind in the right eye and one of his arms will "completely wither." But because he is "miraculously" resuscitated back to life the world will worship him even more and convince many that he is the promised messiah. "At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon. He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels. But news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many. And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him" (Daniel 11:40-45). "And the LORD said to me, "Next, take for yourself the implements of a foolish shepherd. For indeed I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for those who are cut off, nor seek the young, nor heal those that are broken, nor feed those that still stand. But he will eat the flesh of the fat and tear their hooves in pieces. Woe to the worthless shepherd [the Antichrist], who leaves the flock! A sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye; his arm shall completely wither, and his right eye shall be totally blinded" (Zechariah 11:15-17).
"And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast" (Revelation 13:3). What is the Antichrist's final destiny? He will be captured and killed at the final battle, the battle of Armageddon when he is leading the charge against God Himself and the armies of heaven. He will be destroyed by the awesome power of Jesus Christ. Although Scripture implies that he is not without consciousness because he is cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone (Revelation 19:20). "For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And 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 2:7-8). The prophet Daniel also spoke of the total defeat of Antichrist which points to Christ's intervention: "Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; and he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity. He shall even rise against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without human means" (Daniel 8:25). Who Is the Lawless One? Antichrist is called the "lawless one" because he will rebel against the laws of God. Law is the characteristic that establishes civilization (civil rule). The Antichrist will despise the law because he hates the law of God. He will also change the laws of the land and create his own dictatorship by implementing his own draconian laws and regulations. "And 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).
How can the Antichrist be identified? Here are some characteristics of the Antichrist: 1. He exalts himself above all gods. 2. He will sit in the Temple and claim to be God. 3. He will be able to do powerful supernatural things. 4. He will deceive many with his cult of personality. 5. He will sign a false peace covenant with Israel but the church will be taken out in the Rapture prior to that signing.
It doesn't take much study to find out who this man is. There is only one person who fits all of the characteristics of a great deceiver who will arise at the end of the world to fool people with supernatural signs and wonders. This megalomaniac will also demand to be worshipped as God. What are some other names for the Antichrist? In the Bible many names are given that allude to both Satan and the Antichrist, or the spirit of Antichrist, which is working today in the world. The phrases below are distinctly names given to the Antichrist himself: 1. The king of fierce countenance: (Daniel 8:23). 2. The prince who is to come: (Daniel 9.26). 3. The beast: (Revelation 19:19-20). 4. The son of perdition: (2 Thessalonians 2:3). 5. The lawless one: (2 Thessalonians 2:8). 6. The man of sin: (2 Thessalonians 2:3). 7. The foolish shepherd (Zechariah 11:17). http://www.faqendtimes.com/what-is-the-Antichrist/ Since the time that Jesus Christ first arrived, there have been many people who could be described as “Antichrists” but in the final days of this age, a very powerful Antichrist will arise.
A Bird of Prey from the East 11
From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do. 12 Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, you who are now far from my righteousness. 13 I am bringing my righteousness near, it is not far away; and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion, my splendor to Israel. (Isaiah 46: 11-13) NIV To accomplish His purpose, God will permit the rise of a powerful Antichrist. God summons this predatory person and God will use the Antichrist to fulfill what must happen at the end of this age. Since the Holy Bible is Jerusalem-centric, it appears that the Antichrist will be called from “a far-off land” that is east of Jerusalem.
The Little Horn 8
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. (Daniel 7:8) KJV Rostchilds will finance the war to beat one side of the warring faction in return of Establishment of Israel in Palestine
Among the 10 kings (10 horns) of the beast described in Daniel 7, the Antichrist will take the place of 3 kings. He will speak boastfully.
This Horn 21
As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom. (Daniel 7: 21-22) NIV The Antichrist will wage war against God’s holy people (Jews & Christians). If the Antichrist is Islamic, he will wage war against Jews and Christians. The Antichrist will be able to defeat God’s holy people for a while. Then God will pronounce judgment against the Antichrist and the beast that he controls.
The One Who Seeks to Change Times & Laws 25
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. (Daniel 7: 25) The Antichrist will speak against Jehovah God. If the Antichrist is Islamic, he will speak against Jehovah God. He will attempt to get the world to worship Allah instead of Jehovah. The Antichrist will attempt to change the times (e.g. calendars). He will attempt to change the existing laws to a different set of laws. If the Antichrist is Islamic, he would change the world’s calendar over to Islamic calendars/holidays and he would establish Islamic law to replace the laws of the nations.
Another Horn Out of the Goat 9
Out of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land. 10 It grew until it reached the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth and trampled on them. 11 It set itself up to be as great as the commander of the army of the Lord; it took away the daily sacrifice from the Lord, and his sanctuary was thrown down. 12 Because of rebellion, the Lord’s people and the daily sacrifice were given over to it. It prospered in everything it did, and truth was thrown to the ground. (Daniel 8: 9-12) NIV The Antichrist will become powerful. He will attempt to exalt himself. He will put an end to daily sacrifice (in the Jewish Temple). Because the Lord’s people have turned away from God, the Antichrist will be able to have power over them.
The Master of Intrigue 23
“In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise. 24 He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people. 25 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. (Daniel 8: 23-25) NIV The Antichrist will be a master of intrigue. He will excel at being deceptive. He will receive his power from Satan (see Revelation 13: 2-3). He will cause devastation and will be successful at whatever he does. He will consider himself to be superior. He will be able to destroy many of God’s holy people. When the nations feel secure because they believe his lies, the Antichrist will destroy them and take power over them. Eventually, the Antichrist will be destroyed – but not by human power. God will judge and destroy the Antichrist.
The One who Confirms a Covenant 27
He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. (Daniel 9: 27)
The Antichrist will confirm a covenant (peace treaty) with many. Halfway through the treaty, he will break the treaty. He will put an end to sacrifice and offering. He will set up an abomination that causes desolation. (See: What is the Great Tribulation?)
The King of the North & The Contemptible Person 21
“He will be succeeded by a contemptible person who has not been given the honor of royalty. He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and he will seize it through intrigue. 22 Then an overwhelming army will be swept away before him; both it and a prince of the covenant will be destroyed. 23 After coming to an agreement with him, he will act deceitfully, and with only a few people he will rise to power. 24 When the richest provinces feel secure, he will invade them and will achieve what neither his fathers nor his forefathers did. He will distribute plunder, loot and wealth among his followers. He will plot the overthrow of fortresses—but only for a time. (Daniel 11: 21-24) NIV The Antichrist will use intrigue and deceit to come to power. He will invade kingdoms when they feel secure (e.g. after a peace treaty). He will be able to accomplish what his ancestors could not: world domination. (See: What is the King of the North?)
The Man of Lawlessness, The Man of Sin, & The Son of Perdition 3
Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. (2 Thessalonians 2: 3-4) NIV 3
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2 Thessalonians 2: 3-4) NKJV The Antichrist will not arrive until the “falling away” (when God’s people turn away from Him and abandon God’s laws). The Antichrist will exalt himself and proclaim himself to be God. He will sit in the temple of God and try to act as if he were God.
That Wicked 8
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. (2 Thessalonians 2: 8) KJV The Antichrist will be destroyed by God. This will take place after the Great Tribulation when Jesus Christ arrives in great power and glory.
The Lawless One 9
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. (2 Thessalonians 2: 912) NIV The Antichrist will arrive in accordance with the way that Satan works. He will be able to use signs and wonders to deceive people into believing that he is God. People who have rejected the truth (about God/Jesus) and delighted in wickedness will believe the lie. The people will believe him because they refuse to believe the truth.
The Mouth of the Beast 4
People worshiped the dragon [Satan] because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” 5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. (Revelation 13: 4-8) NIV The Antichrist is the spokesperson of the beast. He exercises the power of the beast and that beast received its power from Satan. He will be allowed to have power for 42 months. The Antichrist will blaspheme God, heaven, and those who live in heaven. He will be able to wage war against God’s holy people throughout the world and conquer them. Anyone whose name is not in the Lamb’s (Jesus’) book of life will worship the beast.
Gog: the Chief Prince of Meshek &Tubal “Son of man, prophesy against Gog and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshek and Tubal. 2 I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far north and send you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand. 4 On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds and to the wild animals. (Ezekiel 39: 1-4) The Antichrist (aka “Gog”) is a chief leader of Meshek and Tubal. When the time of God’s wrath comes, God will turn him around and drag him along. God will bring the Antichrist from the “far north” and send him against the mountains of Israel for the Battle of Armageddon. While there are different opinions as to the exact location of ancient Meshek and Tubal, it appears to be located northeast of Jerusalem. It appears to refer to regions between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Current nations that appear to near that geographical area include: Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. Note that all of these geographical areas are currently Islamic-controlled. This indicates that the Antichrist will be an Islamic leader (the Mahdi).
Remember that Jehovah God is in Control 8
“Remember this, keep it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels. 9 Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. 10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’ (Isaiah 46: 8-10) Although the Antichrist will be very powerful, remember that God is more powerful than the Antichrist. God is sovereign and He has already determined how this age will end and how the next age will begin. God will use the final days of this age for God’s own purpose. The books of Eustace mullins Stop The Jews From Rebuilding The Temple! Source: Stop Temple Mount Digging, Associated Press Here EVERY SABBATH MORNING the Jews pray for the rebuilding of the Temple: — “Be favorable our God toward your people Israel and restore services to your Temple.” — There are 3 major Jewish organizations in Israel that are preparing to restore services to the Temple: 1. The Temple Institute: Its stated goal is “to do all in our power to bring about the building of the Holy Temple in our time.” ~ The Temple Institute has already completed such Temple furniture as the Menorah; the Incense Altar; the Table of the Showbread; and the Priest’s Cup which collects the blood of the red heifer. See: Temple Institute Site: Here 2. The Temple Mount Studies: An “educational” propagandizing Israeli enterprise dedicated to disseminating historical and archaeological justifications for the rebuilding of the Temple. See: Temple Mount Site Here And See: Third Temple World Site Here 3. The Temple Mount Studies: Their stated goal is “the building of the Third Temple in our lifetime in accordance with the Hebrew prophets.” (I will refute this below). See: Land of Israel Faithful Site Here THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THE 3rd TEMPLE IS *FIGURATIVE* FOR THE CHURCH According to Brother Nathanael Kapner, I was raised as a Jew. I grew up on the Old Testament readings that are read every Sabbath morning. The Zionists try to justify the rebuilding of the Temple by pointing to the prophet Ezekiel’s vision of the 3rd Temple as outlined in Chapters 40-48 of his writings. But this is ridiculous. First of all, St Gregory the Great, in his Homilies On Ezekiel, points out that at the very outset of Ezekiel Chapter 40 the reading evinces a *figurative* image of the Church, citing the
opening phase, ‘as it were’ a city. He then observes that Ezekiel’s measurements of the Wall encircling the Temple are actually much smaller than the Temple measurements themselves! St Gregory also points out: * In Ezekiel’s vision of the Temple there is *no* Menorah. This is because Jesus Christ the Jewish Messiah is the Light of the World. * In Ezekiel’s vision there is *no* Brazen Sea for the priests to wash in. This is because New Testament Baptism supercedes the washings of the Old Testament in so far as Christian Baptism confers a universal priesthood on all alike. * In Ezekiel’s vision there is *no* Veil. This is because Christ tore the Old Testament veil in two opening the way into the Holy of Holies for all members of the Church. * In Ezekiel’s vision there is *no* Ark. This is because the Presence of God is no longer confined to the Temple but His Presence is in holy Christian temples throughout the world. It should also be noted that the Jews have lost all genealogies of their former Aaronic & Levitical priesthood. Thus their “temple worship” will be a fraud. Any Jew can come along and claim to be a “Kohan” (priest) but he cannot prove it! For in the Old Testament Book of Ezra if a Jew returning from the Babylonian captivity could not show proof of his claim to the priesthood he was expelled from ministering in the Temple. THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THE 3rd TEMPLE WILL HOUSE THE JEWISH ANTI-CHRIST The Orthodox Church teaches that the Anti-Christ will be a Jew. The prophet Daniel predicts this saying, “He shall not regard the God of his fathers.” (Daniel 11) St Paul teaches in II Thessalonians that the Jewish Antichrist will declare himself as God in the 3rd Temple, writing, “The man of lawlessness will set himself up in God’s temple proclaiming himself to be God.” We as Christians must do all in our power to prevent the rebuilding of the Temple.
Comment on the Articles by Brother Nathanael Kapner and Other Experts Brother Kapner did mostly an excellent Job documenting the evil deeds of the Zionists Antichrist. Few times he did miss the mark. Like me, he is an ethnic Jew who converted to Christianity, although his facts are correct, his conclusions are not always right. One example is his conclusion of the 9/11 events. Only future events can prove which theory is right. Where I disagree with him for sure is when he makes the mistake of generalization. Not all Jews believe in violence and in exploiting the Gentiles. Judaism has many sects, branches, and even cults, some of them corrupt the teachings of Judaism to achieve a political goal or personal power, but many do not believe in evil deeds. In fact most of the world Jews are misled to support the State of Israel and if they knew the truth, they would condemn it. However he is right to say the religious extremist are more powerful and are in control of the centers of power in Israel, USA and UK. So read his articles with this point of view from another Jew. He would better serve himself, Jesus, the Jews and world peace to use the terms Zionist, Extremist or Radical Jews rather than Just generalizing his findings to include Judaism and all Jews. I’m a Real Jew and I oppose the Zionist exploitation of the all the Jews and non-Jews around the world. I ask my reader to read the books of Norman Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky who stand up against the Zionist Exploitation of other nations. There are many good and true Jews and to insult them is only an act of hate and anti-Semitism. Such generalizations are in direct opposition to God’s teaching of love, peace, equity for all nations. I lovingly ask you Brother Kapner to replace the word Jewish in your articles with the word Zionist or Radical Jews. Just Remember there are also Radical Christians, Muslims, Buddhist and Hindus and Atheists. If we generalize the action of the few to include the rest, we will be in constant state of wars
A Racial Philosophy Of History (Pt 1) A Racial Philosophy Of History Part 1 Borther Nathanael Kepner
DIVIDING THE WORLD into three races and outlining their historical development can be an exciting new methodology in the field of historical philosophy. What began as a “linear” way of studying history was revolutionized by Oswald Spengler who underpinned his purview with a “cyclical” analysis of historical trends. But now, by employing the Table of Nations in Genesis Chapter 10, a philosophy of history based on the redemption of man provides an understanding of history which all other philosophies willfully ignore. By identifying the salient characteristics of the three races descended from Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and how their specific cultures developed over time, a “redemptive” plan for the salvation of man can be clearly seen. Above all, by employing a ‘racial philosophy of history,’ we arrive at a clear grasp of the “Jewish Question” and how the problem can be solved.
THREE NEEDS OF MAN THE TABLE OF NATIONS in Genesis 10 is a statement on how the world’s present population originated and spread after the Flood in the families represented by Shem, Ham, and Japheth. This unfolding of civilizations, as outlined in Arthur Custance’s “Noah’s Three Sons,” illustrates how the characteristics of each of the three races impacted on the Spiritual, Physical, and Intellectual needs of man. A division of responsibilities apportioned to the three families appears to be by divine appointment whose descendants can be categorized as follows: • Shem: Jews, Arabs, Syrians, that is, “Shemites” or “Semites.” • Ham: Africans, Egyptians, Asians, that is, “Hamites” or “Colored Peoples.” • Japheth: Indo-Europeans, Greeks, Persians, Nordics, that is, “Caucasians” or “Whites.” By viewing the development and actions of these three races we can formulate a solution to the “Jewish Question” and its attendant evils.
Jews Are NOT The “Chosen People” St. Paul, who converted from Judaism to Christianity said, “The Jews please not God. They are contrary to all men. They forbid us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved.” (Thessalonians 2) It is no wonder they were expelled and/or prosecuted in every nation throughout history
Photo of Christ Crucification by Jews Jews Are NOT The “Chosen People” HOW CAN THE JEWS who oppose their own Messiah, Jesus Christ, be the “Chosen People?” Did not St Paul, the Hebrew of Hebrews, say that the Jews are the enemies of the Cross? (Philippians 3 ) When St Paul said, “The Jews killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets; they please not God but are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath of God is come unto them to the uttermost,” did he not make it crystal clear that the Jews are not the “Chosen People?” And did not Jesus Christ Himself reveal that the Jews are of the Synagogue of Satan? (Revelations 2). Jesus Christ also revealed that the Jews are not true Jews when He said to the Christians of Asia Minor, I will make them who say they are Jews but are not, but do lie, to come and worship before thy feet. (Revelations 3). How then can the so-called Jews who are now the enemies of the Cross and of the Synagogue of Satan, and who must worship at the feet of Christians, be the “Chosen People?” Jesus Christ the Messiah of Israel denounced the Jews for rejecting Him when He said, Behold your house is left unto you desolate. And you shall not see Me until you say, Blessed is He Who cometh in the name of the Lord. (St Matthew 23) How then can the Jews whose house is now desolate be the “Chosen People?” How then can the Jews whose house is now desolate be the “Chosen People?” When the Jews cast in their teeth that they were the seed of Abraham, Jesus replied, “You are of your father of the devil who was a murderer from the beginning.” (St John 8). Indeed the Jews committed the crime of all crimes, namely, Deicide, when they brought Jesus Christ to Pontius Pilate demanding that Jesus Christ be crucified even when Pilate judged Christ innocent and desired to set Him free. (St Matthew 27). How then can the Jews, whose father is the devil, and they being murderers like the devil himself by crucifying the Lord of Glory, be the “Chosen People?”
DID NOT JESUS CHRIST say, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees! For you compass sea and land to make one proselyte. And when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves?” (St Matthew 23). Even secular Jews defer to the rabbis as their leaders when it comes to interpreting Jewish dogma. How then can the Jews who are children of hell be the “Chosen People?” How could the Jews to whom Jesus Christ said, Because you do not believe, you are not of my sheep be the “Chosen People?” (St John 10). For to this day the majority of the Jews do not believe in Jesus Christ. What then is their “chosen-ness” if they are not of the Messiah’s sheep? St John the apostle said, “Many deceivers are gone out into the world who deny that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and Anti Christ.” (II John 1). How then can the Jews who to this day deny that Jesus Christ cam for our salvation be the “Chosen People?” Will we be “deceived” by the Jews that they are the Chosen People? What then is the Jews’ “chosen-ness?” In the book of Revelations it is written: But the fearful and the unbelieving and the liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire. This is the second death. The Jews are liars. For they say that they are God’s chosen people when God says that they are an “accursed people” because of their sins. (Isaiah 66:20). Thus the only “chosen-ness” of the Jews is their being chosen to experience the “second death,” that is, the “lake of fire.”
MOSES WHOM THE JEWS boast as being their hero pronounced a blessing and a curse on the Jews. God, said Moses, would bless the Jews if they showed their love for Him by accepting the “Prophet” Whose teachings would be required of the Jews. (Deuteronomy 13). But the Jews crucified the “Prophet” rather than receiving His teachings on repentance and confession of his Divine right to demand obedience. Thus the curses that Moses pronounced upon the Jews have been the Jews’ experience over the last 2000 years. (Deuteronomy 28). Hated, persecuted, censured, (rightly so), wandering from nation to nation when expelled from their host nations, and wreaking havoc wherever they go in their hatred of Christianity, the Jews have indeed experienced the curses predicted of them by Moses and the desolation that Jesus Christ predicted of the Jews for rejecting Him. JEWS ARE NOT THE “Chosen People.” Christians are the “Chosen People.” God said to Abraham, “I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee. And in thy seed all of the nations shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:26).
What “blessings” have the Jews brought to the world since 33 A.D.? Just read today’s headlines and one can clearly see that “curses” have been brought upon society by the Jews. The War in Iraq serves only the interests of the Jews and their promotion of the Christ-hating State of Israel. The tragedy of the World Trade Center was a result of the Zionist foreign policies. Are all of these things “blessings” from the so-called, “seed of Abraham,” the Jews? No. These are all “curses” brought upon us by the “seed of the devil,” the Jews. Christians ARE God’s “Chosen People” – Not Jews. Christians are the “seed of Abraham.” This is what St Paul the Hebrew of Hebrews said over and over again. Here is one instance of St Paul’s many assertions that Christians NOT JEWS are the seed of Abraham: “If ye be Christ’s then are ye Abraham’s seed.” (Galatians 3:29). WHEN JESUS CHRIST said to his disciples, “I have chosen you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain,” Jews do not have to continue in a state of “accursedness” and “desolation.” Jesus Christ offers the Jews the chance to embrace Him and have His blessed name called upon them. Yes Jews if they will repent can be called Christians too! State Of Israel: Not Biblical Prophecy!
THE STATE OF ISRAEL IS NOT A FULFILLMENT OF BIBLICAL PROPHECY JEWS & EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS claim that the modern State of Israel is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. This claim evinces a shallow and errant understanding of the Bible. The meek shall inherit the earth said Jesus Christ to His disciples. But where do we see any hint of “meekness” in the conduct of the Jews? Jesus also said, Blessed are the peacemakers. But the Zionist are warmongers not peace makers. The world has experienced nothing but turmoil since the creation of Israel in 1948. Just google Zionism and wars
The theft of Arab lands by the Jews and the theft of US AID to 3 Billion through bribery and manipulation of Congress members is evidence enough to incriminate the Jews of breaking the commandment: “Thou Shalt Not Steal.” Why make God an accomplice to thievery by saying that Israel is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy?
See Records Of Dispossession, Fischbach The prophet Isaiah said: The Lord shall regather Israel a second time. (Isaiah 11). Jews and Evangelicals claim that the “second time” of the return of the Jews was fulfilled in the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. But the “second time” already took place 500 years before Christ: The 1st Return Of The Jews: The Jews were living as exiles in Egypt when Moses brought the 12 tribes back to the land of Canaan in 1445 BC. The 2nd Return Of The Jews: The Jews were living as exiles throughout the vast Babylonian Empire which Isaiah perceived as the four corners of the world when Ezra brought only 3 tribes back to the land of Israel in 536 BC. These were the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi. The other tribes were lost forever. Just prior to 70 AD, Herod destroyed the remaining tribal records, especially those of Levi, the priestly tribe. *** A “3rd Regathering” Of The Jews Was Never Predicted In The Bible. *** It is the work of the AntiChrist THE NEW TESTAMENT VISION OF THE CHURCH IS NORMATIVE BEHOLD YOUR HOUSE is left unto you desolate, said Jesus Christ to the unbelieving Jews. (Matthew 23) Christ finished His censure by adding, And you will not see Me until you say, “Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord”. Did not St Paul say that the Old Testament has passed away? Did not St Paul write that a new priesthood and a new law–the law of the Spirit and not the law of the letter– is the New Testament’s creed? (Hebrews 7,8). Why then are Evangelicals and Jews haphazardly pulling passages out of context from the Old Testament to prove that the racist State of Israel is Biblical? Zionism’s aim is to establish the Jews as rulers over all the nations. This is the main reason why the State of Israel was pursued by the Jews at the turn of the 20th century. Then the rebuilding of the Temple, (the furniture is already built), will house the Jewish Anti Christ who will terrorize the entire world with Jewish domination. Are we not already seeing foreshadowings of the Anti Christ vis a vis the Jewish disturbances of world peace? Look at the Wars in the Middle East. Look at the Jewish neocons crying for a war against Iran. Look at the intensification of world wide Muslim terrorism because of the injustices of the Zionist state of Israel? Christians are to “reprove the works of darkness” - not support it. (Ephesians 5) GOD’S PLAN FOR THE JEWS
The Israel of God is different from the current state of Israel. The current Israel is the Antichrist and uses a false name to deceive the supporters. The Israel of God is St Paul distinguishes 3 classes of society in I Corinthians 10 and Galatians 6 with the emphasis on “The Israel of God,” which is the Church: 1. Jews: “Enemies of the Cross” 2. Gentiles: “Pagans & Idolaters” 3. The Church of God: “The Israel of God” THE ONLY PLAN that God has for the “enemies of the Cross and “idolaters” is that they become Christians and join the Mystical Body of Christ. St Paul wrote, God has broken down the middle wall of partition between Jews and Gentiles to make in Himself one new man, so making peace. (Ephesians 2) But the Jews are at war with the New Testament vision for the brotherhood of man. And they stole and oppress the decendendst of the original Palestentian Christians. in the holy land. How then could Israel be a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy when it denies the Messiah Jesus Christ? The racist State of Israel is “Satan’s plan for the Jews” - to wage war against the Christ real message of peace and love. Jesus Christ predicted this when He said to St Peter, “I will build my Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.” Truly the Jews are a massive fortification of the “gates of hell,” desperately attempting to prevail against Christ’s Holy Church. How then could any one justify “blessing Israel” knowing of their hatred for Jesus Christ? BOTTOM LINE Let the Jews quit their racist State of Israel and their waging of war against Christ and His Church. Yes - let the Jews join the true brotherhood of man, SATANIC VERSES OF THE JEWISH TALMUD By Brother Nathanael Kapner, A previous Jew Converted into Christianity.

THE JEWISH TALMUD is “Holy Writ” for the Jews. The Talmud supercedes the Old Testament in authority for the Jews. And the Talmud is the most racist, hate-mongering , blasphemous book the world has ever known. The Talmud was written in Hebrew between the 3rd & 6th Centuries as a codification of the so-called Oral Law that the Jewish rabbis claim was handed down from Moses. But the Messiah Jesus censored the “Oral Law” when He said, “By the traditions of your elders you make void the Word of God.” (St Matthew 15).
The English translation of the Talmud has been watered down so as to conceal from the Gentiles the “satanic verses” contained in the original Hebrew. The “Satanic Verses” of the Talmud can be classified into 3 categories: 1) Jewish Supremacy. 2) Hatred Towards The “Goys” (Gentiles). 3) Blasphemies Against Jesus Christ, The Virgin Mary, & All Christians.
SATANIC VERSES OF THE TALMUD’S “JEWISH SUPREMACY” * “If a ‘goy’ (Gentile) hits a Jew he must be killed.” (Sanhedrin 58b) * “If a Jew finds an object lost by a ‘goy’ it does not have to be returned.” (Baba Mezia 24a) * “If a Jew murders a ‘goy’ there will be no death penalty.” (Sanhedrin 57a) * What a Jew steals from a ‘goy’ he may keep.” (Sanhedrin 57a) * “Jews may use subterfuges to circumvent a ‘goy.’” (Baba Kamma 113a) * “All children of the ‘goyim’ (Gentiles) are animals.” (Yebamoth 98a) * “Girls born of the ‘goyim’ are in a state of ‘niddah’ (menstrual uncleanness!) from birth.” (Abodah Zarah 36b) * “The ‘goyim’ are not humans. They are beasts.” (Baba Mezia 114b) * “If you eat with a ‘goy’ it is the same as eating with a dog.” (Tosapoth, Jebamoth 94b) * “Even the best of the ‘goyim’ should all be killed.” (Soferim 15) * “Sexual intercourse between the ‘goyim’ is like intercourse between animals.” (Sanhedrin 74b) * “When it comes to a Gentile in peace times, one may harm him indirectly, for instance, by removing a ladder after he had fallen into a crevice.” (Shulkan Arukh, Yoreh De ‘ah, 158, Hebrew Edition only) SATANIC VERSES OF THE TALMUD’S BLASPHEMIES AGAINST JESUS CHRIST, THE VIRGIN MARY, & ALL CHRISTIANS * “‘Yashu’ (derogatory for ‘Jesus’) is in Hell being boiled in hot excrement.” (Gittin 57a) [’Yashu’ is an acronym for the Jewish curse, ‘May his (Jesus) name be wiped out forevermore.’]
* Yashu (Jesus) was sexually immoral and worshipped a brick.” (Sanhedrin 107b) * “Yashu (Jesus) was cut off from the Jewish people for his wickedness and refused to repent.” (Sotah 47a) * “Miriam the hairdresser had sex with many men.” (Shabbath 104b, Hebrew Edition only) * “She who was the descendant of princes and governors (the virgin Mary) played the harlot with carpenters.” (Sanhedrin 106a) * “Christians who reject the Talmud will go to hell and be punished there for all generations.” (Rosh Hashanah 17a) Judaism’s Strange Gods JUDAISM’S STRANGE GODS Interview With Michael A Hoffman, Copyright 2007-2011 The Talmud Contradict the Bible Michael A Hoffman II, historian and writer, is the founder of Independent History & Research. He was educated at the University of New York and is a former reporter for the New York Bureau of the Associated Press. Hoffman is the author of several books, including the well known, Judaism’s Strange Gods. His newsletter, The Hoffman Wire, is sent out weekly to thousands of supporters. Br Nathanael: Is Judaism based on the Old Testament Scriptures? Michael Hoffman: No. By the time of Christ, Judaism was based on the “Oral Law.” The New Testament speaks of this as the “traditions of the elders.” Jesus Christ denounced and condemned the “traditions of the elders” in the Gospel of John Chapter 5 and in the Gospel of Mark Chapter 7. After the Jewish leadership crucified Jesus Christ, and their subsequent killings and persecution of Christians throughout the Roman world, the rabbis committed to writing the “traditions of the elders” which formed the first part of the Talmud called the Mishnah. This occurred in Babylon toward the end of the second century A.D. All subsequent books of the Talmud were composed in Babylon from the third century until the end of the sixth century A.D. Br Nathanael: Is then Judaism based on the Talmud and not on the Bible? Michael Hoffman: Judaism, though much in vogue with Evangelicals and Roman Catholics, is totally alien to the only Biblical religion on earth today, Christianity. Br Nathanael: You said above that Jesus Christ denounced the traditions of the elders? How so?
Michael Hoffman: The rabbis teach that the revelation granted to Moses had been delivered in two forms, a smaller revelation in writing, and the larger one kept oral. The rabbis claim that the so-called “oral revelation” had been transmitted by the leaders of each generation to their successors—by Moses to Joshua; and then to the elders; to the prophets; to the men of the Sanhedrin; to the leaders of the Pharisees; and finally to the earliest rabbis who saw themselves as heirs of the Pharisees. This supposed transmission of the Oral Law, the “tradition of the elders,” was challenged by Jesus who termed it “commandments of men which nullify the Word of God.” Thus Jesus made the tale of the transmission a fraud. It is a lie concocted in hell to claim that Moses issued two sets of law, one written and public - the other oral and secret. In the entire Bible there is nothing to support this imposture. Br Nathanael: So the oral tradition of the Jews is not consonant with the Old Testament? Michael Hoffman: Not at all. The spurious claim of an oral “tradition of the elders” bequeathed by God to Moses is anti-Biblical, just as Jesus asserted. Christ very simply illuminated the fact that if the Pharisaic tradition had indeed been from Moses, then they would have become Christians. For Christ rebuked them saying, “Had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me, for he wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?” Here Jesus annihilated in one stroke the basis for the religion of Judaism and its conceit of an oral tradition given to it by Moses. For had such a tradition existed it would have testified of Jesus the Messiah. Instead, Christ tells them point blank that they do not follow Moses!
Br Nathanael: What do you mean by saying that the Jewish secularist exhibits the same chauvinism and racism as believers in the Talmud? Michael Hoffman: The main tenet of Judaism is Jewish self-worship. Judaism has as its “God,” not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but the worship of the Jewish people. Jewish self-worship is at the core of the Talmud. The secularist amongst them shares in this self-worship. For the Talmud teaches that the Gentile is a lower form of humanity. They all believe that they have this special-ness about them, believing the myth that they, not the Christians, are the “chosen people.” Coupled with the false notion that they are the “chosen people” - regardless of their unethical conduct, their gross distortions of the God of the Bible, their unbelief, their hatred of Biblical Christian culture, (which has afforded them asylum in Christian nations), and their persistent rejection of Jesus the Messiah - the Talmud teaches that those within Judaism are of a higher form of humanity than others. For they pray both in the synagogue and in their homes, “I thank Thee O God that Thou has not made me a Gentile.”
Br Nathanael: You say that the Talmud has made the Scriptures of none effect. How so? Michael A. Hoffman: In the Gospel of Mark Chapter 7, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees saying, “You make the Word of God of none effect by your tradition that you have handed down.” There is little in the Talmud which refers to Old Testament Scriptures - but rather, teachings that are contrary to the Scriptures. The Talmud teaches that a Jew may *kill, **steal, and ***lie to non-Jews with impunity -yet all of these actions are in violation of the 6th, 7th, and 9th commandments of Moses. Here is but one example of the Oral Law making the Word of God “of none effect.” [*Tractates Sanhedrin 58b; **Baba Mezia 24a; **Sanhedrin 57a; ***Baba Kama 113a] There is also the Talmudic nullification of the sin of King David, by which sin, Christians have learned to shun the sins of adultery and hostility, reciting the penitent words of King David in Psalm 51. But the religion of Judaism will have none of this! For the Talmud states: “whosoever says King David sinned is mistaken.” What the rabbis are actually saying is that it is God who is mistaken–yet the Word of God clearly declares that David sinned by killing Uriah the Hittite and committing adultery with his wife: “Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house because thou hast despised Me and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.” (II Samuel 12) Br Nathanael: Is it true that the Talmud blasphemes Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary? Michael Hoffman: The Talmud indeed blasphemes Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. Tractate Sanhedrin 106a says that Jesus’ mother was a harlot: “She who was a descendant of princes and governors played the harlot with carpenters.” Also in Tractate Shabbath 104b of the Talmud, it is stated: “Miriam the hairdresser had sex with many men.” As regard the Talmud’s treatment of Jesus Christ, Tractates Sanhedrin 107b and Sotah 47a say: “Jesus was sexually immoral, worshipped statues of stone and brick, was cut off from the Jewish people for his wickedness, and refused to repent.” And even a more vile blasphemy is written in Tractate Gitten 57: “Jesus is in hell, being boiled in hot excrement.” Br Nathanael: What attitude then should Christians take towards Judaism? Michael Hoffman: Christians must understand that the religion of Judaism is anti-Biblical. Judaism Judaism is simply a perversion of God’s original revelation to the Hebrew nation–it is the very religion of nullification of the Old Testament. Now what fellowship has light with darkness? What fellowship has Christ with Belial? What fellowship has the true worship of God with idols and “Judaism’s strange gods?” None! How The (Radical) Jews Think - Pt I
1. The Jew sees himself as a “Jew First.” In any nation that the Jew may reside in, he is an “American
Second” or a “Frenchman Second” etc. - for the Jew is always a Jew First. Thus the Jew puts his interest first before national interests. 2. The Zionist Jews promotes secularism in any nation he may reside in. But will defend Jweish Israel. This works to his benefit. For the Jew fears nothing more than a Christian World View which has at its root the absolutism of Christianity over all other faiths as being false religions including Judaism. In their secret thought, For the Jew looks upon the Gentiles, “the Goyim” as being inferior to him. 3. The Jew uses the indictment of “Anti Semitism” to prevent any criticism of his conduct, his ideas, and his agenda. 5. The Jew would like to see the New Testament destroyed, defamed, discarded, and mocked. For in it contains the historical record of the Jewish leaders committing Deicide against the Jesus Christ. The Jew wishes to eradicate this historical fact for it places him in a position as having to repent, an act that the Jew finds repulsive. They use comedians, atheism and corruption of Christian pastors to ignore, corrupt or deny the word of God. 6. The Jew though he may be non-religious still honors the rabbis as having final authority Zionism related matters. 7. The Jew may promote “equality amongst men” in other societies where they are minorities but will show their true colors in Israel through the practice of apartheid. 10. The Jew will use every means possible to undermine Christianity in whatever nation he may reside. He will always cry, “Look what they did to us!” as if he is an innocent lamb without any faults. But whenever someone shows why “they did this to them” he shouts back, “You’re an Anti-Semite!’ 1. The Jew has divorced from his mind all spiritual hopes of the next world. The Jew lives for this world not for the world to come. The Jew is therefore a crass materialist. 5. The Jew in the financial realm hopes to have all capital beneath his control. The Jew strives to get the possession of riches without industry on his part. 6. The Jew, in order to attain financial power, will use any means to places the Gentile, the “Goy” under his dominion. 7. The Jew in the academic realm and media strives to educate according to his Jewish World View. The Jewish World View is to demonize all opponents of Israel, be it Christians, Muslims, Jesus, Political leaders, etc. The Jew, therefore will prosecute all enemies and will promote in the media all Jewish intellectuals, inventors, even when they steal ideas from others. The Jew who operates in the journalistic realm, which today is his total control of the Press, presents current events in favor of the Jew. 10. The Jew, who operates in the journalistic realm, which today is total control of all Media, presents Christianity and Islam in a bad light. This works to his benefit. For Christianity confers strength and moral fiber to the Gentile population, which the Jew wants under his dominion.
The Jew seeks to impose his will upon the Gentile whom he looks down upon as being inferior in intelligence and activism to him. (in inner circle use coded language, is he one of us, is he smart like us?”
The Evils Of Zionism “Thou Shall Not KILL” THE EVILS OF ZIONISM By Brother Nathanael Kapner, Copyright 2008-2010

THE UNDERLYING PREMISE OF ZIONISM is Anti-Christian. This is because Zionism posits the incompatibility of Jew and Gentile. This incompatibility is spelled out by the founder of Zionism, Theodore Herzl: — “I look upon the Zionist movement from the standpoint of Anti-Semitism which stems from economic envy, inherited prejudice, and religious intolerance. Anti-Semitism grows daily among the nations since its causes cannot be prevented.” — The Jewish State, 1896. Here, the Arch Prophet of Zionism, Theodore Herzl, presents the Gentiles as evil predators. But the Jews he presents as innocent victims. But we all know from our own personal experiences that the Jews are anything but innocent little lambs! The Christian message which Zionism wars against, is completely different than the hate-affirming Zionist ideology: — “Jesus Christ has broken down the middle wall of partition between Jews and Gentiles. His purpose was that through His death and resurrection He might make the two into one new man so making peace.” — Epistle To The Ephesians, 61 AD, St Paul.
ZIONISTS STOLE THE LAND OF PALESTINE ZIONISTS HAVE LONG MAINTAINED the myth that Palestine was uninhabited before their arrival. However, the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Curzon, writing on October 26, 1917, refutes this myth:
— “There are over a half a million Arabs in Palestine. They own the soil which belongs either to individual landowners or to village communities. They will not be content either to be expropriated for Jewish immigrants or to act merely as hewers of wood and drawers of water to the latter.” — There were only 19 small Jewish settlements in Palestine by 1900, all of them established by Edmond de Rothschild. Some of the settlements were in the Jaffa citrus grove area whose owners were mostly Arabs. Jaffa was the most advanced city in Palestine with its banking, fishing, manufacturing, and agriculture industries. It should be noted that the majority of all Arabic publications and newspapers in Palestine were published in Jaffa. Thus the Zionists targeted Jaffa in order to destroy the Palestinian “propaganda” arm. On May 23 1948, the so-called Israeli War Of Independence broke out. Only ten days after the outbreak, the majority of Jaffa’s Arab population, numbering at least 50,000, were ethnically cleansed. Haifa’s Arab population, numbering at least 35,000, suffered the same fate.
— These included the groves owned by the renowned Palestinian, Hajj Khalil al-Banna Here & Here. Today, ironically, citrus fruits constitute two-thirds of all Israeli exports. There was also desecration of Christian churches in Jaffa Here. Father Deleque, a Catholic priest, reported: — “On May 13 1948, Jewish soldiers broke down the doors of my church and robbed many precious and sacred objects. Then they threw the statues of Christ down into a nearby garden.” — CHRISTIAN-ZIONIST HAGEE SPEAKS AT JEWISH TEMPLE ON MARCH 11 2008, the Reverend John Hagee spoke at Rabbi Stephen S. Wise Temple in Los Angeles Here. Hagee was given several standing ovations by his Jewish audience especially when he avowed his support for the Zionist State of Israel. Hagee said: — “I regard the founding of the State of Israel to be the most important event of the 20th Century. This ‘in-gathering’ is a necessary prelude to the rebuilding of the Temple.” — And: — “I do not believe that Israel ought to give up any territory it now controls.” —
The problem with Hagee and all of the Christian-Zionists is that they are making God an accomplice to Zionist racism, theft, and murder. In other words, “God is not the author of evil but of peace!” - Clearly Their God is the AntiChrist
HOW DO WE STOP ZIONIST EVIL? Here Are 3 Possible Solutions: 1) Exposes Hagee’s and False Prophets of the AntiChrist. 2) Tell all the Zionists to stop being Anti-Semites. (Arabs are Semites.) 3) Repatriate all the Israelis, convert them to the holy Christian faith, and give the land of Palestine back to their legal owners! From Zion With Hate - Gaza Pictures Speak!
THE NEOCON JEWS tell us that America’s interests are served by supporting the Zionist cause in Palestine. Neocon Jews such as Douglas Feith are “Jews-First” and “Americans-Second.” In other words, neocon Jews will sell out America at the drop of a yarmulke just to keep their beloved “IsraHell” afloat. American politicians like George W Bush turn a blind eye to all of the atrocities that the Israelis have committed against innocent Arab civilians — whether it be committed in Gaza Strip of recent days or in Lebanon of last year. And why is this so? Because the Jews have bought their way into Washington with their Jewish money that has innocent Arab blood splattered all over it.
Here is a news story about this week’s assault on Gaza by Israelis that should catch a tearful Christian eye: — “GAZA STRIP January 16 08: The Palestinian Institute For Human Rghts demanded an international investigation of the Israel Occupation Force (IOF) use of internationally-banned weapons against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The Institute said that IOF troops committed an “ugly crime” in Gaza in which more than 60 casualties were counted. Medical reports indicated that the bodies of those killed in the massacre were maimed and mutilated which supports the idea that Israel had used internationally-banned weapons.” — See Article: Here Here are 2 medical reports verifying that banned weapons were used against Arab civilians as well as a medical blockade: —GAZA CITY, January 16 08: “Dr. Bassam Warda, chief of the <em<="" em=""> in northern Gaza, confirmed that the corpses of two victims were totally dismembered. Dr. Warda said that he has never seen such burns of bodies before voicing belief that the Israeli army has been using fletchets and illicit weapons against Palestinian civilians.</em Palestinian sources also said that many victims were dying in local hospitals due to an Israeli blockade on medicine and medical supplies.” — See Articles: Here And: Here
Why they hate USA? Just Search for Israel Atrocities and Israel Victim images and Israel Wars against Arabs NEOCON JEW DOUGLAS FEITH’S HARD-LINE AGAINST ARABS NEOCON JEW DOUGLAS FEITH, Bush’s former Undersecretary for Defense, made a “killing” in the 1990’s with his Jewish Law Firm, Feith & Zell representing the major military contractor Northrop Grumman.
Feith’s multi-billion dollar client has as one of its divisions Israel Aircraft Industries which unloads its aircrafts with weapons of destruction on innocent Arab babies and children. A vocal advocate of US wars in the Middle East and the hard-line policies of the Likud Party in Israel, Douglas Feith is known for his book published in 1999 entitled, The Dangers of a Palestinian State. In the book Feith writes: — “Israel is unlikely to retain control over captured territories unless its people actually live there. Supporters of settlements reason: If Israelis do not settle an area in the territories, Israel will eventually be forced to relinquish it.” — In other words, Feith is saying: ‘Who cares about the Arabs and their right to the land! We want it and we and the USA will do whatever it takes to keep it!
HOW CAN AMERICANS STOP THE JEWISH GENOCIDE OF INNOCENT ARABS? AMERICANS MUST WAKE UP and understand that the bloodshed of innocent Arabs is caused by Zionist traitors of American interests - both morally and financially. And the neocon Jews like Douglas Feith are the Zionist traitors who should all be exiled to their beloved “Israel.” Americans must be very vocal against these neocons and not be afraid to call these Zionist traitors, “Jews.” Yes the labels of “Anti Semite,” “racist,” will come to those who speak out. But Jewish censure could never last and where kicked of every nation and a backlash is soon coming in US, Europe and Middle East. For Jesus Christ Himself warned: “There is nothing covered that shall not be revealed.” The best way to defeat the Antichrist is to expose as his whole empire is based on deception. And indeed, the Jewish cover-up of their crimes against humanity is now coming to an end. I predict a backlash coming soon against the Jews. They better repent of their sins against mankind and accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah. For the judgment of God is about to fall on their wicked heads! Kill Civilians? The Talmud Tells Me So Judaism Articles, Talmud Articles

THE JEWISH TALMUD IS A WICKED BOOK. The Talmud teaches Jews to look down on Gentiles as inferior to them. Don’t believe the Jews when they tell you that Judaism does not teach contempt for the Gentiles. They’re lying. The Jews say they honor “righteous Gentiles.” But “righteous Gentiles” for the Jews are not pious Christians. “Righteous Gentiles” for the Jews are those who promote Jews and their agendas - like George W Bush and Hilary Clinton. I grew up as a Jew and I know how the Jews view “outsiders.” The Jews have nothing but contempt for all mankind except for themselves. The Jews use disdainful Yiddish words amongst themselves to describe the Gentiles:
“Goyim:” This is what the Jews derisively call Gentiles to indicate an “animal nature” of the Gentiles. “Schwartza:” This is what the Jews derisively call blacks to indicate an “ape like nature” of the blacks. “Shiksa:” This is what the Jews derisively call a Gentile woman to indicate a “carnal nature” of a Gentile woman. ~ This Yiddish word “shiksa” is derivative of the Hebrew word “shegitz” which refers to the carcass of a pig. “Goyisha Kup:” This is what the Jews derisively call another Jew who is stupid. “Goyisha Kup” means “Stupid Gentile Brain.” From whence comes this Jewish disdain for the Gentiles? It comes from the Talmud, a wicked book, which the Jews consider more authoritative than the Bible. Above: “Israel Guilty of War Crimes in Gaza, January 20 2008″ Here THE TALMUD TEACHES THAT ALL GENTILE CIVILIANS ARE ENEMIES IN JEWISH WARS THE TALMUD TEACHES: “When it comes to a Gentile in peace times, one may harm him indirectly, for instance, by removing a ladder after he had fallen into a crevice.” (Shulkan Arukh, Yoreh De ‘ah, 158). During the “Yom Kippur War,” when Jewish soldiers were still unclear of how to deal with Arab civilians, an exchange of letters between an Israeli soldier, “Moshe,” and a rabbi, “Rabbi Shimon Weiser,” ensued. These letters were published in the Yearbook of one of Israel’s most prestigious religious colleges, Midrashiyyat No’am, where many leaders of Israel’s National Religious Party have been educated. Soon the letters, under the title The Purity Of Weapons, became the standard policy of how Jews should treat Arab civilians when waging war. Here is an excerpt dated October 1973: — “Dear Rabbi. In one of our group’s discussions there was a debate about the ‘purity of weapons.’ [From Talmud]. We discussed whether it is permitted to kill unarmed men or even women and children. I could not arrive at a clear decision whether Arabs should be treated like the Amalekites, meaning that one is permitted to murder them until their remembrance is blotted out from under heaven. Or perhaps one should do as in a just war in which one kills only the soldiers?” — Reply of Rabbi Shimon Weiser: — “Dear Moshe. According to our sages, war for us is not a game but a vital necessity and only by this standard must we decide how to wage it. On the one hand we seem to learn that if a Jew murders a Gentile he is regarded as a murderer though no court has the right to punish him.
But we find in the very same authorities saying: ‘The best of Gentiles - kill him; the best of snakes - dash out its brains.’ According to Tosafot, though during peace time it is forbidden to kill Gentiles, in a case that occurs in wartime, it is a mitzvah [religious duty] to kill them. According to Tractate Sanhedrin, all Gentiles during wartime are to be presumed to have evil intent. And thus the rule ‘Whoever comes to kill you, kill him first’ is to be applied. This is the rule of ‘purity of weapons’ according to Halakah. (Body of Jewish Law.)” — HOW CAN WE STOP THE CIVILIAN-KILLING JEWS? Here Are 3 Options: Option #1. Do not vote for candidates who pander to the Jews. Option #2. Do not allow the Pro-Jewish Media to form your opinions on Israel. Seek information from opposite sources Option #3. Only by educating our families, neighbors, fellow church members and spreading the word in our communities and online, then is there hope for the system to change. Exposes and drive the Jewish moneychangers out of every political sphere of influence which they now occupy! Ask for reforms by your representatives.
Rebuking the Deception of Zionist AntiChrist They use Israel as safe center to do their conspiracy to control the world power and money. They know that they cannot control other nations if they are just a miniorty and they needed their own center. Christians NOT Jews Are God’s Chosen People! Christians NOT Jews Are God's Chosen People!, Jews & Their Guilt Of Deicide, State Of Israel: Not Biblical Prophecy!, Why The Jews Hate Jesus Christ CHRISTIANS *NOT* JEWS ARE GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE! By Brother Nathanael Kapner, Copyright 2008-2011 Articles May Be Reproduced Only With Authorship of Br Nathanael Kapner & Link To Real Jew News JEWS HAVE BEGUILED Zionist-Christians into believing that they, the Jews, are God’s “chosen people.” Jews tell Zionist-Christians that when God said to Abraham, “I will bless those who bless thee,” that He would withhold His blessings upon Christians unless they support Israel! How utterly unbiblical! It is jews who are the AntiChrist and Killed him but could not kill his message.
Are Christians to bless the murderers and blasphemers of Jesus Christ? St John the Baptist did not teach an unconditional blessing upon the Jews when he rebuked them, saying, “Do not say you have Abraham for your father, for God is able to raise up from these stones sons of Abraham.” (Matthew 3). St Peter rebuked them, saying, “You crucified the Lord of glory and must repent and be baptized.” (Acts 2). Unconditional support is racism and good is not a racist nor demagog. Jews who where prescuted are not so because of their race but because of their hate and power hungry, money theft, hate of the others, control and abuse of the host nations and abuse of of the media and money and war mongering actions.
THE BIBLE TEACHES that the Christian Church is the “Israel of God” *not* Jews. St Paul wrote in his Epistle To The Romans: “They are not all Israel who are of Israel.” The true Israel are the Christians who have embraced the coming of the Messiah Jesus. The false Israel are the Jews who rejected the coming of the Messiah Jesus. St Paul designates 3 classes of people: 1) The Jews: Rejecters of God & His Promises. 2) The Gentiles: Rejecters of God & the Bible. 3) The Israel of God: The Christian Church. (I Cor 10; Galatians 6) And St Paul teaches that the Christians are the seed of Abraham *not* Jews, saying, “If ye are Christ’s then are ye Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.” (Romans 3)
ZIONIST-CHRISTIANS SUPPORT THE MURDER of Arab children. The Lord Jesus Christ warned: “Whosoever shall offend one of these little ones it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.” (St Mark 9). On January 31 2008, Amnesty International reported: — “Of some 1,190 people killed in Israel’s Lebanon invasion of 2006, the vast majority were civilians not involved in the hostilities, among them hundreds of children. The majority of properties targeted in Israeli strikes were likewise civilian.” — Here.
THE NEW TESTAMENT VISION OF THE CHURCH IS NORMATIVE
BEHOLD YOUR HOUSE is left unto you desolate, said Jesus Christ to the unbelieving Jews. (Matthew 23) Christ finished His censure by adding, And you will not see Me until you say, “Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord”. Thus the Jews can truly fulfill Biblical prophecy by repenting of their sins and confessing the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Church is the focus of the New Testament. Did not St Paul say that the Old Testament has passed away? Did not St Paul write that a new priesthood and a new law–the law of the Spirit and not the law of the letter– is the New Testament’s creed? (Hebrews 7,8). Why then are Evangelicals and Jews haphazardly pulling passages out of context from the Old Testament to prove that the racist State of Israel is Biblical? Zionism’s aim is to establish the Jews as rulers over all the nations. The Zionists are beginning to do this through their insinuations into diplomatic circles throughout the world. This is the main reason why the State of Israel was pursued by the Jews at the turn of the 20th century. Then the rebuilding of the Temple, (the furniture is already built), will house the Jewish Anti Christ who will terrorize the entire world with Jewish domination. Are we not already seeing foreshadowings of the Anti Christ vis a vis the Jewish disturbances of world peace? Look at the War in Iraq. Look at the Jewish neocons crying for a war against Iran. Look at the intensification of world-wide Muslim terrorism because of the injustices of the Zionist state of Israel? Christians are to “reprove the works of darkness” - not support it. (Ephesians 5)
GOD’S PLAN FOR THE JEWS THE EVANGELICALS TELL US that God has a separate plan for the Jews and a separate plan for the Church. But St Paul distinguishes 3 classes of society in I Corinthians 10 and Galatians 6 with the emphasis on “The Israel of God,” which is the Church: 1. Jews: “Enemies of the Cross” 2. Gentiles: “Pagans & Idolaters” 3. The Church of God: “The Israel of God” THE ONLY PLAN that God has for the “enemies of the Cross and “idolaters” is that they become Christians and join the Mystical Body of Christ. St Paul wrote, God has broken down the middle wall of partition between Jews and Gentiles to make in Himself one new man, so making peace. (Ephesians 2) But the Jews are at war with the New Testament vision for the brotherhood of man. The Jews hate Jesus Christ and are hell-bent on eradicating Christianity throughout the world. They even created a State dedicated to the denial of Jesus Christ! How then could Israel be a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy when it denies the Messiah Jesus Christ? The racist State of Israel is “Satan’s plan for the Jews” - to wage war against the Christian Church. Jesus Christ predicted this when He said to St Peter, “I will build my Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.” Truly the Jews are a massive fortification of the “gates of hell,” desperately attempting to prevail against Christ’s Holy Church. How then could any one justify “blessing Israel” knowing of their hatred for Jesus Christ?
BOTTOM LINE Let the Jews quit their racist State of Israel and their waging of war against Christ and His Church. Yes - let the Jews join the true brotherhood of man, the Mystical Body of Christ. Then we can begin to see God’s plan for the Jews fulfilled before our very eyes. For former Jews like myself who now call themselves Christians are the true fulfillment of Biblical prophecy! Jews Are NOT The “Chosen People” Christians Are God's Chosen People NOT Jews!, Jews & Their Guilt Of Deicide, State Of Israel: Not Biblical Prophecy!, Jews Are NOT The "Chosen People", Why The Jews Hate Jesus Christ
Jews Are NOT The “Chosen People” HOW CAN THE JEWS who oppose their own Messiah, Jesus Christ, be the “Chosen People?” Did not St Paul, the Hebrew of Hebrews, say that the Jews are the enemies of the Cross? (Philippians 3 ) When St Paul said, “The Jews killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets; they please not God but are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath of God is come unto them to the uttermost,” did he not make it crystal clear that the Jews are not the “Chosen People?” And did not Jesus Christ Himself reveal that the Jews are of the Synagogue of Satan? (Revelations 2). Jesus Christ also revealed that the Jews are not true Jews when He said to the Christians of Asia Minor, I will make them who say they are Jews but are not, but do lie, to come and worship before thy feet. (Revelations 3). How then can the so-called Jews who are now the enemies of the Cross and of the Synagogue of Satan, and who must worship at the feet of Christians, be the “Chosen People?” Jesus Christ the Messiah of Israel denounced the Jews for rejecting Him when He said, Behold your house is left unto you desolate. And you shall not see Me until you say, Blessed is He Who cometh in the name of the Lord. (St Matthew 23) How then can the Jews whose house is now desolate be the “Chosen People?” How then can the Jews whose house is now desolate be the “Chosen People?” When the Jews cast in their teeth that they were the seed of Abraham, Jesus replied, “You are of your father of the devil who was a murderer from the beginning.” (St John 8). Indeed the Jews committed the crime of all crimes, namely, Deicide, when they brought Jesus Christ to Pontius Pilate demanding that Jesus Christ be crucified even when Pilate judged Christ innocent and desired to set Him free. (St Matthew 27).
How then can the Jews, whose father is the devil, and they being murderers like the devil himself by crucifying the Lord of Glory, be the “Chosen People?” DID NOT JESUS CHRIST say, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees! For you compass sea and land to make one proselyte. And when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves?” (St Matthew 23). Even secular Jews defer to the rabbis as their leaders when it comes to interpreting Jewish dogma. How then can the Jews who are children of hell be the “Chosen People?” How could the Jews to whom Jesus Christ said, Because you do not believe, you are not of my sheep be the “Chosen People?” (St John 10). For to this day the majority of the Jews do not believe in Jesus Christ. What then is their “chosen-ness” if they are not of the Messiah’s sheep? St John the apostle said, “Many deceivers are gone out into the world who deny that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and Anti Christ.” (II John 1). How then can the Jews who to this day deny that Jesus Christ the eternal Son of God became man for our salvation be the “Chosen People?” Will we be “deceived” by the Jews that they are the Chosen People? What then is the Jews’ “chosen-ness?” In the book of Revelations it is written: But the fearful and the unbelieving and the liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire. This is the second death. 1. The Jews are fearful of death. 2. They do not believe in the God of the Bible but in the God of the Talmud. 3. The Jews are liars. For they say that they are God’s chosen people when God says that they are an “accursed people” because of their sins. (Isaiah 66:20). Thus the only “chosen-ness” of the Jews is their being chosen to experience the “second death,” that is, the “lake of fire.” MOSES WHOM THE JEWS boast as being their hero pronounced a blessing and a curse on the Jews. God, said Moses, would bless the Jews if they showed their love for Him by accepting the “Prophet” Whose teachings would be required of the Jews. (Deuteronomy 13). But the Jews crucified the “Prophet” rather than receiving His teachings on repentance and confession of his Divine right to demand obedience. Thus the curses that Moses pronounced upon the Jews have been the Jews’ experience over the last 2000 years. (Deuteronomy 28). Hated, persecuted, censured, (rightly so), wandering from nation to nation when expelled from their host nations, and wreaking havoc wherever they go in their hatred of Christianity, the Jews have indeed experienced the curses predicted of them by Moses and the desolation that Jesus Christ predicted of the Jews for rejecting Him.
JEWS ARE NOT THE “Chosen People.” Christians are the “Chosen People.” God said to Abraham, “I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee. And in thy seed all of the nations shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:26). What “blessings” have the Jews brought to the world since 33 A.D.? Just read today’s headlines and one can clearly see that “curses” have been brought upon society by the Jews. The War in Iraq serves only the interests of the Jews and their promotion of the Christ-hating State of Israel. The tragedy of the World Trade Center was a result of the Zionist agenda. The secularization of Western society is caused by the Jews, which has debased the morals of once Christian nations, now rife with the abominations of anal sex of homosexuals and the perverse sexual conduct of lesbians. Jews are on the forefront of promoting these perverse “alternate life-styles.” Are all of these things “blessings” from the so-called, “seed of Abraham,” the Jews? No. These are all “curses” brought upon us by the “seed of the devil,” the Jews. Christians ARE God’s “Chosen People” – Not Jews. Christians are the “seed of Abraham.” This is what St Paul the Hebrew of Hebrews said over and over again. Here is one instance of St Paul’s many assertions that Christians NOT JEWS are the seed of Abraham: “If ye be Christ’s then are ye Abraham’s seed.” (Galatians 3:29). WHEN JESUS CHRIST said to his disciples, “I have chosen you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain,” Christians were sealed as God’s Chosen Peoplefor all time. Jews can share in the Christians’ “chosen-ness.” Jews can share in the Christians’ “chosen-ness.” Jews do not have to continue in a state of “accursedness” and “desolation.” Jesus Christ offers the Jews the chance to embrace Him and have His blessed name called upon them. Yes Jews if they will repent can be called Christians too! Yes Jews, like myself, a former-Jew, and thousands of others like me, can say, “Blessed is He Who Comes in the name of the Lord! Then the Jews can look forward to heaven and not the lake of fire.
THE AIM OF Zionist PROPAGANDA JEWS ARE HELL BENT on destroying “Christian” society. They must do this to secure their earth-bound survival. Earlier Nations, Czarist Russia, the Byzantine Empire, Germany understood Jewish methods and forbad the Jews from having any role in banking, education, publishing, and politics. They promote the Jewish intellectuals in media and ignore others. They job is branding and branding Jewish people and ideas and censoring all those who oppose them. What college graduate knows that the Russian, Byzantine and other empires?
Here is what the Jews are doing to destroy a Christian society through their Propaganda: 1. Undermining The Christian World View The Jews believe that they are ‘God’s chosen people.’ The Gentiles though, the Jews regard as the evolved apes. But a Gentile can lift himself out of the monkey-kingdom by promoting Zionism. Then he becomes a “righteous Gentile.” Indeed - the rabbis believe that the “goys” are sub-human. The Talmud teaches this. Secular Jews subconsciously buy into this. This is because the teaching of the Talmud, *not* the Bible, shapes the thinking of every Jew: ——- “All Gentile children are animals.” Talmud, Yebamoth 98a; Gentile girls are in a state of filth from birth.” Talmud, Abodah Zarah 36b; “Gentiles are compared to donkeys as servants to masters.” Talmud, Ketubah 3a. ——Divide and rule: They do not go to war if they can use gentile to kill each other, they create a clash of civilization between US and Russia, then US and Islamic Countries, then US and China. They will use US to attack Iraq and Iran on their behalf. The leading forces in the media and politics for war mongering and hate speech against Christians and Muslims are jews, soon you will see the same for china and other countries. We Christians lived peacefully in Palestine side by side by muslims and real good jews, until the Zionist decided that they have the right to our land and stole it to give it to European and other immigrating jews. 4. Undermining The Christian World View Of Youth Growing Into Manhood: Jews promote through the media the restless, alienated young adult, disenfranchised from meaning and purpose. The “hero” of Jewish Hollywood and Jewish TV is the drug smoking and sex-craved Gentile young adult in his early twenties who can only find meaning by satisfying his erotic impulse. And now new programming for children with racist video games promoting hate at conscious and subconscious level for ultimate clash of civilization. Just look at FOX news and movies with hate programming against any jewsih or Israel criticizing intellectual, politician or religious leader. HOW CAN WE STOP THE JEWISH PROPAGANDA MACHINE BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE? 1. There is nothing the Jew fears more than a Christian society. (Click Here: Why The Jews Hate Jesus Christ) 2. All those concerned must begin speaking out in every possible venue against the Jews and their Anti Christian propaganda.
3. All those concerned must protest to schools, teachers, publishing houses, and stores that promote all of the Jewish homosexul & lesbian filth that our children have been bombarded with. We still have a chance to make our nation a Christian America, (not a Jewish America), once again!
The Rothschild-Israel Occult Connection Rothschild Articles
THE ROTHSCHILD-ISRAEL OCCULT CONNECTION By Brother Nathanael Kapner, Copyright 2008-2011 Articles May Be Reproduced Only With Authorship of Br Nathanael Kapner & Link To Real Jew News (SM) Sources: The Golden Report Here ; Documents of The Israel Judicial Authority; The Anglo-French Suez Crises, Daniel Yergin; Jewish Settlements in Palestine, Derek J. Penslar. THE HOUSE OF ROTHSCHILD began their multi-million dollar investment in the Zionist state of Israel in 1882 in order to preserve their control over the Suez Canal and future water rights. Baron Edmond de Rothschild of the Paris branch of the Rothschild dynasty planned to construct a canal in Palestine from Ashkelon on the Mediterranean to Aqaba on the Gulf of Aqaba. Thus Edmond de Rothschild financed two of the original settlements in Israel, Rishon LeZion in Tel-Aviv and Zikhron Ya’akov in Carmel. By 1934, the year of Edmund de Rothschild’s death, 125,000 acres of land and more than 40 settlements were purchased under the auspices of the Rothschild’s Palestine Jewish Colonization Association (PICA). Edmond de Rothschild became known as the “Father of the Yishuv” because of his involvement in early Israeli settlements. In 1966, Edmund’s son James and his wife Dorothy de Rothschild, who funded many more settlements, established the Yad Hanadiv Foundation dedicated to the establishment of the Knesset and the Supreme Court buildings of Israel. The Supreme Court Of Israel opened in 1992.
THE OCCULT SYMBOLS OF THE ISRAEL SUPREME COURT The Israel Supreme Court sits on a plot of land opposite the Knesset and next to the Rothschilds’ Central Bank of Israel. It sits in accordance with Ley-Lines connecting the building to the center of Jerusalem and to the Rockefeller State Museum. The Rockefellers were among the first financial supporters of the Zionist State of Israel owing to their oil and financial alliances with the Rothshilds and their mutual political goals. In the entrance of the Israel Supreme Court building is a large picture of the “founding fathers” of the court. The picture includes 4th Baron Jacob Rothschild who at the time was Chairman of his parents’Yad Hanadiv.
Outside the President’s Chamber is displayed the letter Mrs Dorothy de Rothschild wrote to Prime Minister Shimon Peres expressing her intention to donate a new building for the Supreme Court. In accordance with her husband’s Illuminati orientation, the designers of the building were instructed to incorporate various Illuminati symbols: The All Seeing Eye: This occult symbol is on the outside left hand of the building. Its symbolism is taken from the book of Genesis wherein the serpent promised Adam and Eve that their ‘eyes would be opened’ if they ate of the tree of ‘knowledge’ of good and evil. The Hebrew word for ‘eyes’ in this passage is in the singular. The pyramid upon which the eye is inserted represents the Rothschilds’ hierarchical command of world-wide rule. The Trampled-On Christian Cross: At the front left-hand side of the building are steps leading down to an adapted figure of the Christian Cross designed to be trampled on under foot. The Egyptian Obelisk: Part of the outside architecture includes a garden with an Egyptian occult Obelisk. This symbolizes in Illuminati culture the Egypto-Israeli origins of the Jews coupled with the Rothschild vision to tie the obelisks of New York and London in a world-rule union. Masonic Compass & Square With “G” In The Middle: Across from the main Courtroom are stairs leading down to the Masonic occult symbol of Compass and Square with the “G” in the middle. The “G” taken from the Greek word “gnosis” represents “knowledge” which is the key focus of Illuminati culture.
THE ROTHSCHILDS & THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE The Rothschilds have been the main financial sponsors of archaeological digs in Israel. The Masada Dig was first known to the Israelis as the “Edmond de Rothschild Masada Dig” under the auspices of the Rothschilds’ Palestine Exploration Fund. The PEF established the Biblical Archaeology Society which publishes the Biblical Archaeology Review touting it as the authority on Solomon’s Temple. In December of 1995, a month after Rabin was assassinated, the Jerusalem Masonic Lodge was established adjacent to the Temple Mount in the underground Grotto of King Solomon. The lodge was founded by the Grand Master of the Italian illuminati Giuliano Di Bernardo who at the opening ceremony declared, “The rebuilding of the Temple is at the center of our studies.” The Orthodox Christian Church teaches that the rebuilt Jewish Temple will house the Anti-Christ who will be a Jew. This is in accordance with the predictions of the holy Prophet Daniel who said that the Anti Christ “shall not regard the God of his fathers.” (Daniel 11). See: “Illuminati Dreams Of Rebuilding Solomon’s Temple” Here
HOW DO WE STOP THE ROTHSCHILD’S OCCULT VISION FOR WORLD WIDE RULE?
1. Commit your life to Jesus Christ and regular Church attendance so as to build a grass roots swelling of a Christian consensus over against a Jewish consensus which now exists world wide. 2. Vote for candidates who do not pander to the Israel Lobby known as the AIPAC. 3. Insist on the dismantling of the Rothschild-controlled Federal Reserve Bank which presidential candidate Ron Paul is decrying. Thus we can begin a movement to halt the Rothschildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zionist control of our lives!
In the U.S., the Christian right is an informal coalition formed around a core of white, evangelical Protestants with uneven support from conservative Catholics. The Christian right draws additional support from politically conservative mainline Protestants, Jews, and Mormons. The movement has its roots in American politics going back as far as the 1940s and has been especially influential since the 1970s. Similar movements operate in the politics of Canada, Northern Ireland and Australia, among others. Source Wikipedia. It is about the same time Israel was founded. The Christian right has been a notable force in both the Republican party and American politics when Baptist pastor Jerry Falwell and other Christian leaders began to urge conservative Christians to involve themselves in the political process
Who is the Messiah? Christians know Him as the Christ, and expect His imminent return. Jews await Him as the Jewish Messiah; Hindus look for the coming of Krishna; Buddhists expect Him as Maitreya Buddha; and Muslims anticipate the Imam Mahdi or Messiah who will join the Christ return (the Messiah) in the final battle between good and evil. Most old Interpretations were literal, they believed in actual monsters while new modern interpretations use more logical and scientific rational to interperate these stories and prophecies see they mythical stories beast or more of signs and symbols to identify his spirit It can be a man or an organization or a country or an entity. The later is more logical, so It shows how mis-interperation and pseudo-scientific research causes perpetual wars
Christ and Antichrist Samuel J. Cassels. Written in 1846 by a Presbyterian minister, this is for the serious student of church history and Bible prophecy. Proves Jesus is the Messiah and reveals the Antichrist. A challenge to modern Protestants to think again about their theology.
According Tim McHyde the publisher of Escape All Things.com The Antichrist Revealed: Myths and Corrections Given that, I have collected seven of the most common Antichrist theories Myth #1: "'The Antichrist' is the Bible's Name For Him" This global ruler during the Great Tribulation is most commonly referred to by Christians as "The Antichrist." Yet that moniker is itself a myth. It turns out that the Bible never actually uses that title for him in any prophecy of the coming end time king of the world. (John's letters use Antichrist to refer to a “spirit of Antichrist” that was already present in those who opposed Christ). The Bible instead uses such titles as the Man of Sin, the Son of Perdition, the Lawless One (2The 2:1-8), the Little Horn (Dan 7:8), the Coming Prince (Dan 9:26), the (Willful) King of the North (Dan 11:36) and the Beast (Rev 13:1-10), among others. Although I am aware of this naming problem. What is important is that "The Antichrist is a Jew" The Antichrist will build the Third Temple. The thinking is that he must be a Jew to be sympathetic to the Jews. They also base it on when Jesus said, "I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another shall come in his own name, you will receive him" (John 5:43). Because Jesus said the Jews will accept the Antichrist, people wonder how that could happen with a Gentile. The Jews ought to know the Messiah must be a Jew, right? The Jews think the Antichrist is Messiah. He will come in his own name (whatever name it will be adding up to 666) as God, not as the Messiah of the Jews. The Jews will accept him for the same reason everyone else will: necessity. Once they do, they will be under the Mark of the Beast and deluded into believing God is already here to the point that they would fight to defend his kingdom. There is even a prophecy showing that Judah will be part of the Beast's armies and fight against their real Messiah at his return: Zechariah 14:14 (ESV) — Even Judah will fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, and garments in great abundance. Myth #2: "The Antichrist Will Be Democratically Elected Handsome Leader " He will be disfigured with a blind right eye and withered right arm (Zec 11:17).. It can mean metaphorically he is can say only one side of the issues and is unfair and unbalanced. However, the Bible paints quite a different picture of how the Antichrist takes control of the world. There won't be a vote and people won't care what he looks like; they will care whether he can fix a broken postWormwood world. (Keep reading through Myth #5 below for details.) Myth #3: "The Antichrist Will Sign a Public Peace Treaty With Israel"
A top persistent myth about the Antichrist is that before Satan is kicked out of heaven and begins his great wrath with the Abomination of Desolation, the Antichrist must make a peace treaty with Israel. This is (loosely) based on what Daniel said about the Antichrist making a seven year pact: Daniel 9:27 (HCSB) — He will make a firm covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and offering. And the abomination of desolation will be on a wing of the temple, until the decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator.” Notice that the verse does not say “covenant with Israel.” It only says “covenant with many,” whatever that means. You can look from Genesis to Revelation and you will not find a single verse that says the many is Israel or Israel makes a treaty with the Antichrist (nor the Antichrist making a "peace treaty" with anyone, either). Consequently, it is quite amazing that this theory has become as popular as it has, lacking a single explicit verse of support. Worse, it ignores and contradicts the plain evidence we do have for who the “many” are. If you look in Revelation 17, you will find another mention of the Antichrist making a trade or deal with many, and this time it tells you how many there are and who they are: Revelation 17:12-13, 16-17 (HCSB) 12 The 10 horns you saw are 10 kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they will receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. 13 These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast. 16 The 10 horns you saw, and the beast, will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, devour her flesh, and burn her up with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His plan by having one purpose and to give their kingdom to the beast until God’s words are accomplished. “The many” are rulers, but not the kind you are used to. They are not public figureheads like presidents or prime ministers. Instead, they are the power players who pull the strings behind the scenes. What the Bible says here about them I think matches and supports the rumors of the “Illuminati” who supposedly run a shadow government and plan to establish a very non-shadow New World Order. (I know that's a conspiracy theory and I'm not a believer in most of them, but any the Bible confirms, those I believe.) Illuminati or not, Revelation 17 says ten powerful “kings without kingdoms” are going to be instrumental for the Antichrist taking power. The deal they make with the Antichrist is to use their power to get the Antichrist into power in exchange for finally getting public authority as kings in his new global kingdom. In addition, they must use their power beforehand to get rid of the prostitute Mystery Babylon the Great) who is riding the Beast (preventing him from doing what he wants). Another error is the assumed public nature of this coming seven-year pact. Nowhere does it say that it is publicly known. I think it is unlikely that the ten rulers are going to publicize their plan with the Antichrist to take out the most powerful nation on earth who stands in their way. Nor their plan to afterward take over the world and make the Antichrist world king. In conclusion, watching for an Antichrist "seven-year peace with Israel" is simply not a way to identify the Antichrist. Nevertheless, the Antichrist will still bring peace to the Middle East. It's just that he'll do it through war, "destroying wonderfully" (Dan 8:24) instead of through peace treaties. He'll accomplish this
by conquering and ruling the whole world (Rev 13:7). You may remember learning in history about the Pax Romana ("Roman peace"), or the relative long period of peace among the conquered nations of the Roman Empire. Imagine the "Pax Antichrista," if you will, that will result over the whole world under the Antichrist's reign. It would put an end even to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Especially when you factor in how everyone with the mark of the beast then seem to lose their free will (Rev 16:9, 11). Of course, the only true, non-forced peace between Israel and the Arabs will come with Christ's millennial reign when both peoples have the Holy Spirit poured out on them as Joel prophesies (Joel 2:28-29). The whole world will learn God's peaceful ways and learn war no more (Isa 2:4;Mic 4:3) in the Millennium. Myth #4: "The Antichrist Cannot Be Identified Before the Rapture" This idea is partly based on the assumption that the rapture comes before the Great Tribulation. The thinking is that we will be out of here before the Antichrist even makes his supposed “peace treaty with Israel”. The public peace treaty is the way most Christians expect to identify the Antichrist. So if they will not be here anymore when it happens, they naturally assume they cannot identify the Antichrist if he were already alive in person today. Yet in Revelation 13 we are given a detailed profile of the Antichrist, albeit in the form of some mysterious riddles. One of them is a picture or calling card of the Beast that has turned out to be surprisingly literal (a beast like that exists today as the heraldry of the world's most prominent prince). The other riddle is the infamous Number of the Beast or 666. Using “wisdom” (Rev 13:18) which Daniel was told would be available in the end times (Dan 12:10), we can understand 666 and use it to identify who might be the Beast. As you can imagine, not many names are going to work out (without forcing or contrivance) to exactly that sum. Of course, we tend to deceive ourselves in these matters judging from all the Antichrists candidates that have been named in history. So it is best to leave anyone we identify using the 666 formula as only a “potential candidate” and not be dogmatic about it until a prophet comes to confirm it. The coming of 144,000 prophets is indeed prophesied before Wormwood, before the Great Tribulation and way before the rapture. (If you never thought of the 144,000 before as prophets, what would you call people who meet Jesus, are filled with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, sealed with protection to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom and other messages they receive from three angels (Rev 7; 14:1-13)?) Myth #5: "The Antichrist Comes to Power By Counterfeiting Jesus' Second Coming" Although the Antichrist obviously will use force to take over part of the world, the question needs to be asked as to how he gets the rest to go along? Most Christians would say he does it through the deception of presenting himself as the returning Jesus. They expect he will somehow fulfill the prophecies of the Second Coming. However, this is not what the Bible indicates. He will not call him-self Jesus or the Messiah. He will come in his own name. Most simply, the Bible says the Antichrist comes not pretending to be Jesus, the Son of God. He goes for a much bigger lie, namely that he is Jesus' father, God himself:
2 Thessalonians 2:4 (HCSB) — He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called God or object of worship, so that he sits in God’s sanctuary, publicizing that he himself is God. This appears to be the “strong delusion” that Paul refers to later in that same chapter: 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 (HCSB) — and with every unrighteous deception among those who are perishing. ⌊They perish⌋ because they did not accept the love of the truth in order to be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a strong delusion so that they will believe what is false For someone to prove he is God through the miracles of a powerful false prophet is an unprecedented trick. It will convince many, but not all. The Mark of the Beast specifically mentions that nobody will be able to buy or sell unless they agree to worship the Antichrist. And we know what they will be most needing to buy first: food. You see, the rise of the Antichrist is found at the 5th trumpet (Rev 9). Naturally, this would be right after the 4th trumpet (Rev 8:12) which describes the last of the calamitous effects of the Wormwood rogue planet (named in Rev 8:10). This Wormwood is the next event described in Revelation that has not been fulfilled yet. The destruction caused by Wormwood begins at the 6th seal with eclipses, shooting stars, and a global earthquake so great that every mountain and island is moved out of its place (Rev 6:12-17). It goes on with the first four trumpets bringing meteorite showers, as asteroid strike in the ocean, tsunamis, poisoned fresh waters and a hazy “nuclear winter” style sky (from all the ash and debris thrown up into the stratosphere). Now you understand how the Antichrist is able to get everyone, even the godless rebels, to submit. People will be cold, starving, and shell-shocked after the Wormwood-caused disasters. They will need a bailout that includes all the basic necessities of life (much like New Orleans needed after Hurricane Katrina). Unfortunately, when a catastrophe is global and complete, there is nobody who can help that is not also in great need. That help must come from God himself, or someone can pawn themselves off as a close substitute. The Antichrist will appear as God and have the powers to bring security and sustenance to what's left of the world population. But we must not forget that as bad as this Wormwood catastrophe sounds, it will apparently be tame in comparison to what the Antichrist will do. This seems to be what is intended by how his rise is called the first of three woes on the earth. Revelation 8:13 (HCSB) — I looked again and heard an eagle flying high overhead, crying out in a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who live on the earth, because of the remaining trumpet blasts that the three angels are about to sound!”
Myth #7: "The Antichrist Must Be Arab" This is a more recent theory propagated by Messianic Jewish/Hebraic believers and the Zionists to distract from early Christian scholars teaching that the Antichrist is a Jew... I became aware of it through a Messianic teacher on a radio interview. He claimed to have thousands of hours of study of Middle East
history from which he concluded that the Bible teaches that the Antichrist will come from Syria. He taught that the Antichrist is alive today in the personage of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad. The troubling thing is that even after hearing two separate radio show interviews by him, never did he address how Bashar fulfills the identification requirements of Revelation 13, the most important passage on the Antichrist in the Bible. He instead focused on other prophetic chapters from Isaiah (10, 14, 30, 31) and Daniel (11). While interesting and provocative, his theory almost exists only in a vacuum from Revelation. Not surprisingly, Bashar al Assad does not add up to 666. Very few names do. The other big problem with this theory is that Daniel says that the Antichrist is of “the people...who will destroy the city and sanctuary” (Dan 9:26). History shows that the Roman Empire were the “people” who did this. Daniel says the prince comes from this same people. In other words, he's European, (despite revisionist history to the contrary claiming he was Syrian). The fact most Israel Jews are immigrants from Europe. Israel is European creation with European people. Daniel 8 also points to a European Antichrist. It says the “Little Horn” will emerge from a land that is situated so that the Antichrist will have to move southeast in order to take the beautiful land, or Israel (Dan 8:9). Reversing that, it would mean he comes from a land northwest of Israel. If you draw a line northwest from Israel, you go through Europe, until you end at Great Britain. Syria is north of Israel, so it does not fit. The Antichrist is not likely to be Syrian, but he could very well be a Brit. The Easy Way to Identify the Antichrist Zionist Propaganda feed wrong speculation always brings with it lots of misinformation and myths. The aim is to confuse you and take your peace. When the end times come, we will pay dearly for our ignorance or misunderstanding of Bible prophecy. God does not expect you to be a Bible scholar and to figure out who the Antichrist is and who he is not. You don't have to worry about sorting out fact from fiction yourself. If he is alive today (which I think he is) then his future empowered nemeses, the coming Elijah of the time right before the Day of the LORD (Mal 4:5), the two witnesses (Rev 11:3-6) and the 144,000 (Rev 7; 14) are alive, too. God must send them all out in different ways to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom as a witness before the end can come (Mt 24:14). As delivered to them by the three angels of Revelation 14, they will also bring us this message: Revelation 14:9-10 (HCSB) 9 And a third angel followed them and spoke with a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast [Antichrist] and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he will also drink the wine of God’s wrath, which is mixed full strength in the cup of His anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb, It is easy to mistake that passage as a warning to the reader. But it's not. That passage is a prophecy of a future warning that will go out to the entire world (through the 144,000). That warning will appear sometime before the Antichrist arrives, in time for you to escape him. Upon hearing it you will be able to use the Bible to verify that what they say is consistent with God's word. You can prove that the instructions given along with that warning on how to escape are from God and trustworthy. If you have the faith to follow them (and not what your religion might tell you to do instead)
you will find yourself safe from the Antichrist and everything else that the Bible says is coming in the final years of this age. Obviously if God is providing such a clear warning from a prophet about the Antichrist's mark that the mark is 666 The key is to make sure that you are not one of those who lacks faith when the time comes. Jesus said to "pray that you have the strength to escape all these things that are going to take place" (Lk 21:36). If you make that prayer and continually ask God to help you have faith (without which it is impossible to please him (Heb 11:6)) you will be in good shape to not only know who the Antichrist is when he comes, but to escape him, too.
"Came out of nowhere...almost magically" "Rich and Powerful!" Has met with Pope Francis to discuss a peace treaty with Israel "Denies the Father and maybe an atheist! And believe in Israel above God and everything else!" " Jewish"
Of course, Jewish Messiah is the Antichrist. The same kind of reasoning that made ancient Israel happy with the choice of Saul as their first king. He was tall, handsome and the son of a prominent man (1Sa 9:12). A popular choice, but we know how well that worked out for Israel. Israel might seem good for the Jewish people, but he does not fit God's criteria given in the Bible. Daniel 9:26-27 (HCSB) — 26 ... The people of the coming prince will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come with a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations are decreed. 27 He [=the prince, Antichrist ] will make a firm covenant with many for one week [the 70th week], but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and offering. And the abomination of desolation will be on a wing of the temple, until the decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator." The one behind the abomination is the "prince" who shall come from the people who destroyed the temple. Some people think that Christ was the one mentioned here about cutting off the sacrifices. If you check the next reference in Daniel to the abomination, you will find more details to test that theory against: Daniel 11:31-32 (HCSB) 31 His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation. 32 With flattery he will corrupt those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will be strong and take action. Israel control the major media. They use flattery to corrupt politicians to steal taxes and wage wars and kill men, women and children to get their resources, be it land or oil under names such as democracies and freedom.

"How ?" "I'm worried about having kids due Jesus' warning 'woe to the pregnant and nursing.'" Jesus' warning (Mt 24:19) is in a very specific context about those who witness the Abomination of Desolation happen on Adar 1 (1290 days point) and yet have not fled to safety already. They must now drop everything and go in a "dead run" to the safe location that the faithful are already at (maybe having left for at the 1335 days point, 45 days earlier). Besides the points above, one thing that the history of people believing "the end is near" surely proves is that it's unwise to put your life on hold over end time speculation or let it influence your major life decisions. "What is your church affiliation?" I used to like to answer this question with "I have the same church affiliation as Abraham and Jesus." Church denomination is manmade organization. Jesus and Abraham were part of the church according to the original correct definition: the ekklesia or "called out ones." They were both were called out of the world to be set apart or different for God. No organization has ever been needed to serve God, to grow spiritually, to be safe spiritually or even to encourage each other to good works (Heb 10:25).

These are the verses I am referring to: Acts 4:13 (KJV) Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. John 7:14-15 (NIV) 14 Not until halfway through the Feast did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach. 15 The Jews were amazed and asked, "How did this man get such learning without having studied?" God truth is simple and clear. It is not complicated. Only propaganda cause confusion. Independent minds with Jesus in their heart can tell the false from true messages. This is the Berean test that the Bible says is the noble way to go about it (Acts 17:11). Don't substitute anyone's judgment for your own. This is the approach I take in assembling your own learning. I used to attend a church that discouraged reading dissident or questionable literature. They made us afraid to investigate what the other side said on things. Investigating these ideas cannot hurt us, but it can exercise our minds and improve our discernment: Hebrews 5:14 (ESV) But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

The Abomination of Desolation Identified At Last (By 7 Clues) Although the average Christian wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know an "abomination of desolation" even if it came up and bit them in the rear, Jesus gave important end time survival instructions for "when you see the abomination." This cryptic phrase describes the key event that immediately precedes the Great Tribulation and is the last chance to flee to safety from the Antichrist. Nevertheless, people continue to disagree on what the abomination of desolation is or even whether it is past or future! Find out why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the Dome of the Rock or any past event, and what exactly Revelation says it will be. By Tim McHyde Abomination of Desolation?
Daniel's "abomination of desolation" is a very familiar term to most Christians thanks to Jesus' reference to it in the Gospels. At the same time, it is easily the least understood major prophetic term compared to say the great tribulation, the mark of the beast or even the 70th week. Most Christians have no clue what it is because the terms "abomination" and "desolation" do not have the same significance to a modern Western reader as they did to ancient audiences. "Abomination" Defined by the Bible To help with that, let us find out what does "abomination" mean anyway? By leaving the Christian New Testament comfort zone and studying the Old Testament and especially the Torah, we can find out what it meant to the audiences of Daniel and Jesus who heard the term. The word translated 'abomination' in Hebrew is shiqqus. It is heavily associated with idolatrous practices as the Theological Workbook of the Old Testament explains: shiqqus. Detestable thing, idol. This noun is always used in connection with idolatrous practices, either referring to the idols themselves as being abhorrent and detestable in God's sight, or to something associated with the idolatrous ritual. Idols generally are referred to as an abomination (Jeremiah 16:18; Ezekiel 5:11; Ezekiel 7:20; 2 Chron. 15:8, etc). Not only are the idols an abomination, but they that worship them 'become detestable like that which they love' (Hosea 9:10), for they identify themselves with the idols. ... The 'abominable filth' of Nahum 3:6 is shiqqus. It seems likely that, since shiqqus is everywhere else clearly related to idolatrous worship, the same would be true here. It is important to recognize that by the use of such a strong word as shiqqus God wants his people to recognize the extreme seriousness and wickedness of this sin, however attractive and popular it might be. God's own people need to view sin from God's perspective (Deut. 7:26). â&#x20AC;&#x201D; TWOT Remember from all the passages above that the verbs associated with the abomination require it be something that can be 'set up' to 'stand.' In other words, an idol. Theories Contradicted: People and buildings are not idols, but statues can be. If people worship an idol in a building like the Dome of the Rock there, then the idol would be the abomination, not the building. This opacity can leave the modern reader troubled when they read what it says about the abomination of desolation: Matthew 24:15-16 (ESV) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 'So when you see the abomination of desolation ... then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.' These urgent survival instructions Jesus gave for end time believers are of course difficult to follow when you have no concept of what you're supposed to be watching for! Naturally, this ignorance makes it easy for Christians to entertain very diverse theories for what the abomination is; based in either the past or future. For example, one historical theory is that the
abomination of desolation is the Dome of the Rock finished on the Temple Mount in 691 AD. Preterists believe the abomination happened when the Roman general Pompey conquered the city and entered the Holy of Holies (where only the Aaronic high priest was allowed) before they destroyed the temple in 70 AD. Others think Antiochus IV Epiphanes completely fulfilled the abomination after he violated the temple in 167 BC in the time of the Maccabees. Of course, there is also the "futurist" perspective that the abomination relates to the work of the end time Beast or "Antichrist." Fortunately, there are several clues in Scripture about the abomination of desolation. When you look at them all together, it becomes possible to identify the one interpretation that they all fit. Here are seven clues from simple, plainly read Scripture that will help us do that. Clue #1: Location The first clue is about where the abomination happens: Matthew 24:15-16 (ESV) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 'So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place,...then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.' The usage of the term "holy place" in other New Testament passages corroborate that it refers to the temple in Jerusalem (Acts 6:13; 21:28). If it was not already obvious by the term "abomination" that, whatever it is, it does not belong in God's temple, Mark confirms this: Mark 13:14 (ESV) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. The next clue found in the same above verses from the Gospels is that whatever the abomination is, it is something that is visible or something people will "see" and also something that can be said to be "standing." Since seeing it is a sign, the implication is that the abomination becomes visible suddenly. This clue could fit the abomination being a person, a statue or perhaps even a building (except buildings do not suddenly become visible but are in a state of incompletion while being built). Clue #3: Who Does It? Daniel's "70 weeks" prophecy is the source of the abomination of desolation prophecy that Jesus quoted: Daniel 9:26-27 (HCSB) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 26 ... The people of the coming prince will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come with a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations are decreed. 27 He [=the prince, Antichrist ] will make a firm covenant with many for one week [the 70th week], but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and offering. And the abomination of desolation will be on a wing of the temple, until the decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator." The one behind the abomination is the "prince" who shall come from the people who destroyed the temple. Some people think that Christ was the one mentioned here about cutting off the sacrifices. If you check the next reference in Daniel to the abomination, you will find more details to test that theory against:
Daniel 11:31-32 (HCSB) 31 His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation. 32 With flattery he will corrupt those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will be strong and take action. The ones behind the abomination are not holy, but described as corrupting people against God's covenant and pitted against people who know their God. Theories Contradicted: Since the person doing the abomination (and cutting off the sacrifices—see below) is evil, theories about Jesus Christ doing or being the abomination (and as we'll see below, cutting off the sacrifices) do not work. Clue #4: Sacrifices Stopped Concurrently You may have noticed in the above two verses from Daniel that there is always something else tied to the abomination: the abolition of animal sacrifices. The daily oblation sacrifices were commanded in the Law of Moses to be done in the morning and evening as part of the temple worship. Several prophecies even talk about them returning in the future despite them ending long ago with the destruction of the temple in 70 AD (Eze 40-48). Yet, it may not be fully evident from the above verses that the abolition of sacrifices is directly tied to the abomination being set up. In the third and final reference to the abomination in Daniel, this is made evident: Daniel 12:11 (HCSB) — From the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. We will see exactly what the 1,290 days refers to later, but for now it's clear that these two connected events happen on the very same day, 1,290 days from something else. Theories Contradicted: Any explanation of the abomination that does not happen when sacrifices are ongoing and does not then end those sacrifices on the same day would be contradicted, such as the Dome of the Rock theory, and most others. Clue #5: Events Before and After – Revelation Parallel The abomination of desolation is not some isolated event but is preceded and followed by key events. Luke's Gospel and a parallel prophecy we will connect in Revelation make this plain. Luke has a slightly different take on the abomination from the other Gospels. While it tells us that the desolation is followed by people having to flee (like Matthew and Mark did above), it also tells us what precedes the abomination: Luke 21:20-21, 24 (HCSB) — 20 "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that its desolation has come near. 21 Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains!... Not surprisingly armies surround and take control of Jerusalem right before her desolation . Also not surprisingly, they do not move on but continue their desolation by "trampling" Jerusalem for a certain period of time called the "times of the Gentiles:" Luke 21:23-24 (HCSB) — Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days, for there will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and be
led captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. That last part is key to find a parallel prophecy needed to break open the abomination mystery. Thankfully, Revelation also talks about a trampling of the place of the temple by the Gentiles. Note that some versions say nations there and some say Gentiles simply because Gentiles literally means "nations." Israel is made of Jewish ancestry from all nations. Anyone who claim to have jewish ancertry will have Israeli Passport and will be a follower of the Antichrist. It does not even matter if you believe in God. You can be atheist or a criminal in your country. If you can show jewish ancestroy. You will be given Israeli passport regardless what your nation is. Revelation 11:1-2 (ESV) — 1 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, 2 but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months. Thus, what plainly follows the abomination and end of altar sacrifices is a trampling of Jerusalem by armies for 42 months. Theories Contradicted: It's difficult to imagine finding any historical theory for the abomination that includes exactly 42 months of trampling of Jerusalem by the armies that surround the city right before the abomination. Clue #6: Great Tribulation Tie-in Whose armies could these be? If that 42 months number above sounded familiar, it's because that is the same period of time that the Beast or Antichrist is to be ruling. It is no accident that this is also the length of the ministry of the Two Witnesses who speak against the Beast: Revelation 13:4-5 (HCSB) — 4 ...And they worshiped the beast... 5 A mouth was given to him to speak boasts and blasphemies. He was also given authority to act, for 42 months. Revelation 11:3 (HCSB) — I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth. By the way, if you had ever wondered what Luke's "times of the Gentiles" referred to, now you can see it's talking about the ruling of Jerusalem by the Antichrist armies during the Great Tribulation. The times last 42 months. There are other tie-ins to the Great Tribulation. We have already seen earlier that the abomination happens in the middle of the final or 70th week of Daniel. If you have already proven the Futurist perspective is correct, then you know that the second half of the 70th week is called the Great Tribulation. In six different verses that period is referred to as either 3½ years, 42 months or 1260 days (Dan 9:27; Dan 7:25; Rev 12:14; Rev 11:2; Rev 13:5; Rev 11:3). (The 1290 days end at the same point as the 1260 days/Great Tribulation but begin 30 days earlier.) Theories Contradicted: Any theory that says the abomination was completely fulfilled in the past. The First Abomination Fulfillment
Daniel 11:31-35 (HCSB) — 31 His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation. 32 With flattery he will corrupt those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will be strong and take action. 33 Those who are wise among the people will give understanding to many, yet they will die by sword and flame, and be captured and plundered for a time. 34 When defeated, they will be helped by some, but many others will join them insincerely. 35 Some of the wise will fall so that they may be refined, purified, and cleansed until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time. Notice how the passage ends with an allusion to the fact that the defeat and purification of the wise will continue until the time of the end. This means that what is happening up until verse 33 is before the end times. As such, it is widely accepted that the passage above refers to Antichus IV Epiphanes' re-dedication of the Temple to Zeus in 167 BC and subsequent revolt by the Maccabeans as described in the book of First Maccabees. As the same passage from Theological Workbook of the Old Testament says explains: Antiochus Epiphanes, as prophesied in Daniel 11:31, and who is typical of Antichrist, set up an altar to, and image of, Zeus in the temple. This is called the 'abomination that causes desolation,' a desecration of the altar which destroys its true purpose. Just so will Antichrist establish an abomination in the sanctuary, a demonic counterfeit worship (Daniel 9:27; Daniel 12:11).— TWOT This means that there are two separate abominations of desolation predicted in Daniel 9 and 11: one for the end times and one for a past time, respectively. (Daniel 12:11, like Daniel 9 speaks of the end times abomination near the Great Tribulation, or 30 days before to be exact since the Great Tribulation is 1260 days and the abomination does not happen 30 days into the Millennium!) The Second and Next Abomination of Desolation Everything above points to a second, final abomination of desolation fulfillment being "stood up" in the future by the Antichrist. If the first one, a statue of Zeus, was a idolatrous worship statue (fitting the Torah definition of abomination), then we would expect the next one done by the Antichrist to be the same. What will it be? Star of David is originally a pagan Symbol It is the Abomination and it is the Mark of the beast. We do not have to speculate or wonder any longer. As it happens, there is an idol of worship featured prominently in Revelation in connection with the Antichrist. However, you may not have ever recognized it as such due to the slightly different terminology used: Revelation 13:14-15 (HCSB) — 14 He [the "False Prophet"] deceives those who live on the earth because of the signs that he is permitted to perform on behalf of the beast [the "Antichrist"], telling those who live on the earth to make an image of the beast who had the sword wound and yet lived. Zionist Pastors and USA Israeli Lobby are the false prophets An image is a likeness or representation of something. When it comes to false gods like Zeus or the Antichrist, it typically refers to a statue. But this is more than a statue. The "image" of the Antichrist made by the False Prophet for all to worship has a "spirit" with or in it that enables it to speak!:
Revelation 13:15 (HCSB) — He was permitted to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast could both speak and cause whoever would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. This is the Antichrist image to animate it in big ways. Apparently part of its speaking is tattling on those who do not worship because it directly causes people to be killed for this violation. Although this level of supernatural power is not "permitted" today (It is the mossad and the big dollars spent on assisnations and wars ), God will permit it in the end times for the "strong delusion" that the Antichrist is God and worthy of worship (2Th 2:11, 4). The setting up of the Antichrist image (Star of David) in the temple will desolate the temple mount by commanding the statue to be set up for worship at the same time that he halts another form of worship to the real God: the daily oblation sacrifices (Daniel 12:11). 1. No Temple — Since the abomination is "stood" up in the temple of God (Mt 24:15) and the Antichrist must be able to "sit" in the temple of God in Jerusalem (2Th 2:4= Dan 11:45) and there is no temple today, obviously a temple must be built first. The temple can be any temple. It does not say destroyed temple that is rebuilt. 2. No Sacrifices — Similarly, just as sacrifices must be abolished at the same time as the abomination is set up and there are no daily sacrifices in Jerusalem going today, obviously sacrifices must be started first. The Israeli and Talmudic Jews have gone away with this practice. 3. Arabs Control the Temple Mount — Arabs do not worship idols or countries, they all worship the same God of jews and Christians. Israelis on the other hand have Israel above all. They obress jews who do not believe in Israel, Christians and muslims and they want a pure racist jewish state above all. The worship power and the self, not God. But even after those three obstacles are removed, there will be no cause for panic. Other There are two separate abominations of desolation predicted by Daniel. The first abomination, the statue of Zeus that Antiochus IV Epiphanes erected in the temple, holds the key to the second. Just as with the previous abomination, the final abomination of desolation will be an image of a false God "stood" up in the coming Third Temple for all to "see" (and worship). This supernatural "image of the beast/Antichrist" desolating the temple will help convince (and enforce) the world to worship the Antichrist. It is on the flag. Although Jesus told the real jews and Christians to flee Israel and not be part of it, that you need to flee if you are still around to see the abomination when it is set up, it need not be dreaded or looked for under every rock today. The temple and sacrifices must come first. But even after they do, the wise who listen to the end time prophet of God will be walking by faith not sight. They will hear the warnings that must be given for the whole Biblically illiterate world and they will leave without needing to see the abomination of desolation (for details read this article about the 144,000 and the Woman). A ruler or a government body or entity may also be referred to as a man. Israel is another name for Jacob he is described as He (not She) Israel will be more accurately referred to as “He” than she. From the Hebrew name ( י ֵָא ְׂראִ לYisra'el) In the Old Testament Israel (who was formerly named Jacob; see Genesis 32:28) The original literal meaning comes from the verb śarar ("to rule, be strong, have authority over").[3]
It Also means include "the prince of God" (from the King James Version) or "El fights/struggles".[4] " You shall no longer be called Jacob, But Israel shall be your name." Thus He called him Israel. So the correct meaning of Israel is the Ruler or Prince and is referred to as He. Israeli people may be referred to as She. So the Ruler is the Antichrist and the people of Israel is the Great Harlot. The Antichrist is also called the Ruler and the Prince, again they all lead to Israel The Great Harlot of Revelation 17 and 18 is not a Gentile nation because they did not corrupt a covenant relationship with God as Israel has. Of this, God says in Amos 3:2, "You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities." Having done only what comes naturally without the revelation of God, the Gentile world will have its opportunity to have a covenant relationship with Him following Christ's return. In defiance of God, nation of Israel has rebelled against her responsibilities and played the harlot with the world. She has embraced its ways to such an extent that she has outdone the Gentiles in their manner of life, becoming appropriately named "Babylon the Great." In Revelation 17 and 18, God is describing the influence and character of end-time Israel. He depicts all of Israel in close relationship with the Beast, influencing it, but with the two Joseph tribes, America (Manasseh) and Britain (Ephraim), as the Woman's strongest components - and perhaps America is the one primarily described, as it is the most influential at the end. In Revelation 12, a woman is symbolic of the nation of Israel, and in Revelation 17 and 18 she represents the false system of Babylon. In Isaiah 47, a woman is again symbolic of Babylon (whether the nation or the system of Babylon). In Galations 4:21-31, Paul uses "women" to symbolize the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. In Ezekiel 16, God uses a woman to symbolize Israel: "Aholah" is the kingdom of Israel and "Aholibah" is the kingdom of Judah. What can we understand from this? Every time a woman is used as a symbol, the common denominator is the idea of a system of beliefs and practices that influence other people. The “Zion” itself simple means “fortification”. When Jesus came to do His earthly ministry it was said “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame” (Rom 9:33) and that “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob” (Rom 11:26) and “the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself” (Eph 2:20). “a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic” (Isaiah 28:16). As was prophesied hundreds of years ago this Cornerstone came “From Judah” (Zech 10:4). Unfortunately, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone” (Psalm 118:22; 20:17) and they didn’t recognize Him. Peter did recognize Him and wrote “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame” (1st Pet 2:6). In the Apostle John’s vision in Revelation 14:1 he writes “Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.” By Jesus standing on Mount Zion we understand that He stands above and rules over Mount Zion, the Kingdom of God and that is where John “saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations” (Rev 21:22-26) 6. E.g., “The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob,” quoted above from Psalms 87:2, which means that G‑d loves the city of Jerusalem more than any other place in the rest of the “also beloved” Land of Israel – Land of Jacob. See also Isaiah 1:8.
The Zionists took that name from to take over Jerusalem again. Zion (Hebrew: צֵ ּיִןṢiyyôn), also transliterated Sion, Syon, Tzion or Tsion, is commonly referred to a specific mountain near Jerusalem (Mount Zion), on which stood a Jebusite fortress of the same name that was conquered by David and was named the City of David. Its origin predates the Israelites. The biblical phrase "Daughter of Tzion" (Hebrew "bat Tzion") is a reference to Mount Moriah. Observant Jews recite the Amidah three times a day facing Zion Mountain in Jerusalem, praying for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple, the restoration of the Temple service, the redemption of the world, and for the coming of the Messiah. In the New Testament, the Daughter of Zion is the bride of Christ, also known as the Church, according to the writer of the book of Hebrews (see Heb 12:22). In this sense the lower hill with the temple mount is of course the Daughter of Zion as a geographical or 'earthly' manifestation of spiritual reality, as well as the lively and alive place of the human congregation. The last line of the Israeli national anthem Hatikvah (Hebrew for Hope) is "....Eretz, Zion, Vi Yerushalayim", which means literally Land, Zion, and Jerusalem. The Jewish longing for Zion, starting with the deportation and enslavement of Jews during the Babylonian captivity For others, it has taken on a more spiritual meaning—a safe spiritual homeland, like in heaven, It does not matter what you call yourself. What matter is who you are that is what you think and what you do. The art of Deception is to call yourself a good name. DO you see a crook calling himself a criminal? Will the Antichrist call himself antichrist. No. He is sneaky and will reveal himself only when he feels safe and concored the follower of Christ. A Wolf in Lamb clothing
Bible Prophecy Glossary By Tim McHyde Introduction God told Daniel that he sealed up the meaning of his key prophecy until the end times (Dan 12:9). And even then only the righteous and wise would understand it properly (Dan 12:10). Unfortunately, this means that teachings that have been popular or taught for many decades are probably in error. A tell-tale sign that a teaching is wrong is when it allegorizes the Bible, or otherwise claims it does not mean what it plainly says. Typically the excuse given is that the passage cannot possibly be literal based on some other preconceived assumption which would be contradicted by taking the passage literally (John 10:35). Likewise, if the explanations do not incorporate the prophetic feasts of God (also known as the Jewish holidays), then they are missing another key to unsealing the prophecies. In writing this glossary I've kept to those keys just as I have in my book Know the Future. As such, it makes for a good companion to my book.
I beleive it is unlike any other Bible prophecy glossary you will find. Bible truth seekers can use it to audit what they have been taught to weed out errors and and come to better understanding of the Bible's amazing end time prophecies. Comments and feedback are welcome as well as any suggestions for definitions to add. The Bible Prophecy Glossary 144,000 This mysterious group is described in Revelation 7 and 14 using a very confusing mixture of literal and (rare) allegorical language. This causes most to incorrectly treat the 144,000 completely allegorically. While the number 144,000 is indeed the literal number of (probably) men, their virginity is metaphorical (as in free of man-made religion - 2 Cor. 11:2-3) following the metaphorical Lamb (Jesus Christ). The 144,000 have their special seal of mobile protection to fulfill the mission of preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom to all nations (Mt 24:14). While commonly thought to be drawn just from only Jews (descended from the Southern House of Judah's), the 144,000 are mostly made up of their Northern counterparts: the “Lost Ten Tribes of Israel” who today are found mixed mostly among the Western nations (see www.BritAm.org for the astonishing proof of this). In other words, it should be no surprise that these emissaries who obey God and have the "testimony of Jesus" are drawn from the same Western peoples today where you find the testimony of Jesus predominates! 70 Weeks of Daniel This key prophecy from Daniel 9:24-27 predicts the reconstruction and destruction of Jerusalem, the two comings of the Messiah, the end time Antichrist takeover of Jerusalem, and the end of mankind's rebellion to God. The 70 weeks are divided into three periods of time: seven weeks, 62 weeks and one week. The seven weeks are from the decree of Artaxerxes in ~456 BC to rebuild Jerusalem until its completion 49 years later. The 62 weeks go from there until the Messiah's ministry began in 28/29 AD. The messiah was cut off as predicted “after the 62 weeks”(not in the 63rd week) in a implied gap period of about 2000 years before the final one week period commences. This intervening gap is also where the destruction of the temple happens. The third period or the 70th week is the final seven years that end with the Messiah's Second Coming to defeat the Antichrist. What few notice is that each of the 70 weeks so far have lined up with a sabbath year cycle. In other words, they end on a sabbath year. Since Jesus comes at the end of the 70th week, this means that Jesus cannot come in just any year as most Christians imagine. Instead, there is a window for the Second Coming every seven years (not to mention that the events of the first half of the 70th Week must happen first). Using this insight, we can easily rule out most set dates for the rapture/Jesus' return and other false prophecies.
The 70 weeks also seem to have another fulfillment as 70 weeks of days spanning the time from when Jesus was baptized at the start of his ministry, through his death after 62nd week and his glorified appearance for 40 days until he poured out the spirit in the 70th week of his ministry. Abomination of Desolation This odd phrase from Daniel is impossible to decipher correctly for most Christians who are unfamiliar with the Old Testament. The Law of Moses defines idolatry as an abomination to God. This matches up the Daniel's abomination with Revelation's Image of the Beast, an idolatrous statue of the Antichrist (Rev 13). Thus, the Abomination of Desolation is the erection the Image of the Beast (Mt 24:15; Mk 13:14) in the middle of the 70th Week (Dan 9:27). As a foreshadow of this, Antiochus Epiphanes IV erected a statue of Zeus/Jupiter (Dan 11:31; 1Macc 6:1-7). According to Daniel, this coincides with the interruption of daily oblation sacrifices at the start of the 1290 days by the Beast, exactly 30 days before the Great Tribulation begins (Dan 12:11). Jesus said that this signals the last moment to flee to the prepared place (Mt 24:15-21; Rev 12:13-17) for those not wanting to be caught unprotected or "left behind" in the Great Tribulation. Antichrist The Antichrist is a popular Christian term for the Beast of Revelation. It is derived from John's epistles where Antichrist is actually defined as a "spirit" of opposition to Christ or the Father found in both non-believers and ex-believers (1 John 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 John 1:7). Over time this term has turned into a misnomer for “the Beast” of Revelation, “the Little Horn” of Daniel, and Paul's “Man of Sin”. These all refer to the coming one ruler of the Great Tribulation. This "Antichrist" will apparently die from a deadly wound (during world war 2) and be resurrected through Satan's power as a setup to him claiming to be God. . He then takes his rightful place to rule the world from the future Third Temple in Jerusalem (2The 2:4). He achieves this with the help of the False Prophet (Belfore or UK or USA) and Ten Kings (Rev 17) through their seven year pact to get rid of the Babylon (Germany) and rule the world. Battle of Armageddon Refers to the short-lived battle at Jerusalem between the world's armies and the returning Jesus Messiah (Zech 14:1-15) on the Day of the LORD. Armageddon is actually only the gathering place of armies within a day or so before at the 6th bowl (Rev 16:14-16). Armageddon literally means “Hill of Megiddo” which is across the Plain of Esdraelon from Nazareth. The Beast The Beast is the term Revelation uses for what Christians call "The Antichrist" (Rev 13). Elijah Another key prophecy overlooked by mainstream Christian eschatology. Malachi 3-4 predicts the coming of an end time prophet to precede the second coming of Christ, just as forerunner John the Baptist preceded the first coming. He will show people to repent from sin, religion and man's traditions and instead turn to God's word and way of life, just as John did. It seems likely that he
(or possibly the Two Witnesses) will gather God's people to safety ahead of Wormwood and the Great Tribulation. The False Prophet A future organization or government who will help convince the world to worship the Beast as God (2Th 2:4; Rev 13:11-16). He will do this through the miracles, signs and wonders, the “Image of the Beast” and the “Mark of the Beast”. Scripture points someone or some entity or organization clever deceptive teaching he puts out. Gog Magog War Commonly thought to be Red Jews. In reality, Ezekiel 38 and 39 describe two separate wars that bookend the Millennium: first the “Battle of Armageddon” (Eze 39 = Rev 19:11-21) and after the millennium, the revolt of Satan put down with fire from heaven (Eze 38 = Rev 20:7-10). Image of the Beast It is the image of the Antichrist. Star of David. Instead, Revelation tells us that the False Prophet (USA) use demonic methods (CIA and Mossad) in the so that it talks and reports those who do not worship it, resulting in their death (Rev 13:15). The erection of this statue in the Third Temple is called the Abomination of Desolation, because idolatry is the chief abomination to God. Innumerable Multitude This group is described right after the 144,000 to show that the first group is not everyone who is saved (Rev 7:9-17). The time period of this multitude is unclear until you notice the palm branches in their hands. Therefore this group seems to refer to the glorified saints ruling the earth during the Millennium (Rev 20). This is why they are in white robes and never hunger, thirst, burn nor reflect sunlight yet are around the Lamb's throne. They are not the raptured saints in heaven (Rev 7:16=Isa 49:10; see them instead in Rev 15). Kingdom of God/Kingdom of Heaven At the 7th Trumpet or “last trump” the Great Tribulation (wrath of Satan) ends and the Kingdom of God begins on earth (Rev 11:15-19). The first orders of business is to defeat God's enemies and replace them with God's government. This is why the rapture and resurrection of the just happen first immediately followed by the seven bowls of God's wrath. The new Kingdom of God/Heaven government consists of the newly glorified saints. (Heaven in this case is only a euphemism for God and does not denote the location.) When Jesus spoke of "inheriting the Kingdom" it was referring to being born again with a glorified body and part of God's kingdom on earth. The beauty of this kingdom is that unlike the kingdom of Israel with corruptible mortal kings that were always one generation away from apostasy, the leaders in this government will never die or be corrupted. Lake of Fire The Beast and False Prophet thrown in it at the end.
Little Horn Term for the Antichrist from Daniel 7-8. May refer to the Jewish Horn for calls to celebrations Mark of the Beast During the Great Tribulation people will be forced to take this mark on their hand (they will work for Israel) or forehead (they will promote Israel) as a requirement of worship of the Beast and to engage in commerce in the Beast empire (Rev 13:16-18). Those who refuse will be martyred or at least starve (Rev 20:4). Those who do take the mark (accept the superiority of Israel) are not tortured by the beast and miss the rapture and suffer through the seven bowls of God's wrath (Rev 14:10) which will eventually kill them (2/3 – Zech 13:8). The Millennium The 1000 year reign of the Messiah and his glorified bride as kings and priests (Rev 20:3-4). This is the Kingdom of God set up on earth finally after the 6000 years of man's self-rule ending with the Great Tribulation. The subjects of this kingdom will be all the survivors of the Great Tribulation and Seven Bowls of the Wrath of God (Zech 14:16-19). Mystery Babylon the Great Revelation 17-18 and Jeremiah 50-51 describe this economically and militarily powerful nation (“hammer of all the earth”) who keeps the Satanic beast world empire at bay. She makes shipping merchants rich and intoxicates the world with her sinful materialistic lifestyle. She will be destroyed by an enemy from the north in a single day according to the plan of the Ten Kings and Antichrist. (Some say the nation is Germany which was destroyed by Russia, other says it is China and another says it is USA, as Israel will betray USA after it got what it want and it will join its enemies. Nephilim or Rephaim Genesis 6 introduces the Nephilim (literally "fallen ones"), traditionally translated as giants. These nephilim are explained to be the hybrid offspring of women and the "sons of God." Scripture defines fallen angels (Gen 6:2=Job 1:6;2:1;38:7), fallen angels to be specific, not the "righteous line of Seth." . They fit the current sons of modern state of Israel. Although their illicit offspring were wiped out with the flood, they were recreated later (Gen 6:4).. The Bible indicates all things that offend including the demons will be collected and burned up at the end of this age (Mt 13:41) The Beast and False Prophet are included in this (Rev 19:20). This indicates that the Beast and False prophet are Nephilim, not human.
The Rapture
The gathering of the dead and alive saints to heaven immediately following their glorification. Contrary to common belief, this event does not happen before the Great Tribulation to save the saints from it. It happens after the Great Tribulation to reward them at the same time that the dead in Christ are likewise rewarded (Mt 24:29-31; 1Th 4:16-18; 2Th 2:1-4; 1Co 15:51-54; Dan 12:1-3). The real physical salvation/escape plan of the bulk of the saints is to bring them with miracles to the place prepared for the entire Great Tribulation (Rev 12). The gloried saints then are seen in heaven on the sea of fire and glass while the seven bowls of wrath are poured out on the earth (Rev 15-16). The marriage supper of the Lamb may take place then or when they return nine days later as Revelation 19 portrays the Battle of Armageddon as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;supperâ&#x20AC;?. Resurrections Little understood among Christians, Bible prophecy describes three different resurrections of the dead in the plan of God ahead. (There was also the resurrection of Christ and the firstfruits--those who came out of the tombs when Jesus died. They might be the ones who went to heaven with Jesus and became the 24 elders.) The "first resurrection" (Rev 20:4-5) is only for the righteous and is followed immediately by the rapture of the living righteous. This happens on the Day of Trumpets right at the start of the Millennium. The next or second resurrection comes soon after the Millennium (Rev 20:5). It includes the vast majority of humanity, the unrighteous who did not qualify for the first resurrection and most Christians would be considered damned or "lost" and to be "without hope" (Eze 37:11). Unlike the first resurrection, people in this one receive a physical body like they had before (Eze 37:114). The apparent purpose is to let them have a chance to live in the flesh with all the knowledge and information about God and his way of life they need to make a "decision for Christ." Due to ignorance or the deception of Satan and his demons, they lacked the information or help they needed in their first life. Satan and the demons will no longer be around to deceive them this time. At the end of this life, they can finally be held accountable for knowing the truth and acting on it. The third and last resurrection is necessary for those in the second resurrection after they die so they can stand in the Great White Throne Judgment before God (Rev 20:12-13). Based on their choice they either go to the lake of fire and cease to exist or join those from the first resurrection in the kingdom with glorified bodies and eternal life. The "first resurrection" (Rev 20:4-5) is only for the righteous and is followed immediately by the rapture of the living righteous. This happens on the Day of Trumpets right at the start of the Millennium in which the righteous reign. Satan or The Devil
(Hebrew: HaSatan or "The Adversary"). Satan or the Devil is probably the chief of all the fallen angels, or the one third of the angels who rebelled against God (Rev 12:4). Satan wants to replace God (Isa 14) and deceives the whole world and unleash his wrath of the Great Tribulation, even believers (Rev 12:9; 9-13). Second Coming The return of Jesus as king of the earth. Last time, Jesus came at to serve God and teach the jews who rejected him and had him killed. His next coming will be on the Day of the LORD. The Seven Thunders Right before God's Kingdom on earth begins at the 7th trumpet, an angel will utter the seven thunders (Rev 10:3-4). Remarkably, John was forbidden to write down what they said. So an interpretation is merely unproductive speculation and can be misleading. Ten Kings Revelation 17 describes ten powerful rulers. They are not kings because they have no kingdom. They are the bankers and their powerful lobbyists. Still, they have the power needed to bring the Antichrist (Israel) into world rulership which they do so they can rule openly with him. It appears that they accomplish this by keeping the coming Wormwood disasters secret and accentuate the resulting crisis. They also specifically cause the destruction of Mystery Babylon who is pictured as keeping the Beast at bay or out of power (riding him). These ten kings may be the Bible's confirmation of the infamous Illuminati or the elderly of Zion, rumored to pull the strings of all the world rulers. The Woman The Woman is one of the rare topics in Revelation that mixes allegory with the normal literal narrative. This is conveyed through the literal constellation (“sign”) of Virgo, the Virgin Woman in the heavens. These are the faithful or righteous who honor Mother Mary from which the Messiah came. The Devil (the dragon) attempted to kill the manchild at birth through Herod's Massacre of the Innocents. He failed and so we see the male child ascend to heaven until the day he will return and rule with a rod of iron (Rev 19-20=Ps 2:8-9). That all is the setup for using Woman of the literal constellation allegorically as the symbol of the righteous. We are shown through the Woman how God will protect all the righteous from the Antichrist during the Great Tribulation (3½ years or time, times and half a time). The Jews of Israel does not believe that Mary was righteous or virgin, they believe she was a whore. The Zionist will have you believe that the woman represent Israel which is a deception of the Antichrist. Wormwood Revelation 8 predicts this literal doomsday will poison one third of the fresh water before the Great Tribulation (Rev 8:10-11). Some believe it if the whole world fresh waters, other believe it it’s the holy land water. Other believe it is a death Star another is a chemical or nuclear disaster
other believe it is a major war or world war 2 or 3. Wormwood will put the holy land or the earth in such chaos and famine that the Antichrist will be able to ride the crisis into power. Unfortunately, this key prophecy about Wormwood is completely missed by popular Christian eschatology, probably due to the confusing language.
