I believe the scriptures indicate we are currently living at the end of all things. 2 Peter 3:7-13. I don't know any Christian who could support a stance that Satan is not loosed on this earth. The invasion of Gog happened in 1948-1973. Revelation 20. The Khazars are from the land of Magog along with Mesheck and Tubal. They were situated between the Black and Caspian seas and migrated West into Europe.
The chief prince is Gog whom is Satan. They came into a land of unwalled villages that was waste and was brought back from the sword and at rest dwelling safely upon the mountains of Israel. All of the inhabitants tending their cattle and herds. They came to take a spoil and continue to do so. Ezekiel 38. Prophecy can only be understood once fulfilled. May the Grace and Peace of our Lord Jesus be with you brother!
Daniel 8:23-25, Daniel 11:36-45, Daniel 12:1-13, and 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8 also seem to be of interest. The exact term "antichrist" is not used in these verses, but there is reference to a king skilled in intrigue/deception who destroys many through "peace."
"And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand." Daniel 8:23-25 (KJV).
I think the "Prince of princes" who this king stands up against is referring to Jesus Christ.
Yes there were so many verses of interest on this topic, unfortunately my word count was already way on the lengthy side for this series. Second Thessalonians in particular I find interesting, especially depending on how we view the Temple of God under the New Covenant. While I don't think this now, the Historicist view of it being the Pope is still very compelling.
Eschatology has always fascinated me, perhaps to my detriment lol definitely something I intend on hitting more in-depth in the future. Daniel is such a rich book, one of my favorites personally after studying it in depth. No wonder the skeptics and atheists have attacked it so viscously!
Eschatology is very interesting, isn't it? I could be wrong, but one potential issue with your article is that the term "antichrist" (Strongs# 500 "antichrist". antichristos (ἀντίχριστος)) is defined as "one who opposes Christ". This seems more like a job title, but could also refer to a specific individual in much the same way "satan" (Strongs #7854 (שָׂטָן) and Strongs #4567 (Σατανᾶς) can mean adversary, accuser, or The devil. 1 John 2:18 refers to "many antichrists have appeared".
The main question I would pose to you is, "What scriptures do you believe remain to be fulfilled?"
You raise good points. I’d contend that Satan is unique in that the Accuser is only ever seen in the singular form and has certain privileges (see Job 1 & 2) never delineated for the “Antichrist”.
The context and content of 1 John 2:18 indicates it most clearly to me that it isn’t an individual:
“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.”
By my reading, John here seems to be specifically refuting the notion of a singular, future antichrist. The Christians he is writing to have heard that antichrist was a singular man yet to come, yet John seemingly rebukes that notion by stating that the antichrist spirit is already here, further indicating the longevity of this idea in Christian thought.
As for prophecy, that’s something I’m still sorting out the finer details on. I hate the term preterism since all Christians think some prophecy has been fulfilled, we’re just arguing about what percent is fulfilled or not. Outside of the return of Christ and the ushering in of the New Heaven and New Earth, the White Throne judgment, etc., I’d say most of it has been fulfilled. We may or may not be in that little season at the end of the age where Satan is loosed again, I don’t personally think that but I understand why those that feel that way do and don’t begrudge them for it.
Christ states in Luke 24:44 that all the OT prophecies concerning Him were fulfilled. If we take His words literally, that must mean that all the OT prophecies have been fulfilled or were left unfulfilled due to Israel failing to heed the terms given by the prophet (see Zechariah 1). The logical implication of this implies to me that the OT prophecies concerning Christ can not include descriptions of the eschaton and therefore must be describing current realities, either spiritual or physical in nature, and/or fulfilled events in the past.
Like I said though, I’m still pretty fresh to some of these ideas and their implications after growing up in futurist churches for much of my life.
Isn't Satan loosed from his prison in the Abyss AFTER the millennial reign during which Jesus has already returned? Also, I wonder about the prophecies in Daniel 8, Revelation 17, and 2 Thessalonians 2 which speak of a king (always used to refer to a singular individual) whom the Lamb/prince of princes will destroy. Finally, weren't only the OT prophecies concerning Christ's FIRST coming indeed fulfilled? If you notice when Jesus cites Isaiah 61 in Luke 4:16-21, he leaves off the latter part of Isaiah 61:2 which speaks of judgement during his return ("...the day of vengeance of our God...").
I use to see it that way too, but if the beast that is thrown into the lake of fire in Rev. 19 isn’t the antichrist then that chapter takes on a whole new light.
Likewise for the man of sin and what the Temple of God is in the New Covenant. If the falling away must happen before the return of our Lord, and the New Covenant believer/the Church collectively is the Temple of God, that would make the Man of Sin either Satan reigning in the heart of an apostate or an earthly minister of Satan usurping Christ’s authority within the Church collectively. Pastor Baldwin has a great prophecy sermon on this topic: https://youtu.be/L_2wP_jkEXo?feature=shared
Personally, I think the Man of Sin is most probably Lucifer since Isaiah refers to him in 14:16 as a man: “Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms:” That said, the Historicist argument that the man of sin is the papacy as an institution is still very strong in my eyes. Steve Gregg touches on several of these verses in his teaching on the Millennium: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S3p3QQyYDRQ
I can’t recommend Steve Gregg enough, he does a great job explaining the amillennial view of Revelation in light of some of these ideas we’ve discussed.
As for Luke 24:44, the text doesn’t specify whether it is the prophecies referring to His first advent alone: “ 44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.”
Christ states “all things must be fulfilled”, and while I can see how one could read it as only concerning His first advent, I just don’t find that in the text. I’ve also made the case that Isaiah 61:2 was fulfilled: Christ did proclaim the “day of vengeance”, or the judgement of Jerusalem that would shortly unfold, during His ministry.
It will take me awhile to get through the videos. I read and pray for discernment. Just wanted to say thank you for your hard work. When the Left Behind series came out I knew nothing about “The rapture” then found out some (not all) around me were all in. I read all those Left Behind books as they came out in wonderment then had to dig in and research where this theory came from. Well, hello Mr. Darby and some 14 yr. old Scottish? visionary who had a dream……So as time passed I was able to learn my faith better and realize it was a theory taking scripture and making it fit. After a number of years, it seems to have come up again with all the chaos and crazy ideologies happening around me. I started looking into why people believe this theory and accidentally came across Gary North’s book. I just never know what to say when people make small comments about this. Some how, like kitten seeking answers….I accidentally again came across your writings. Yow, this theory goes even deeper. Gosh, what have you to say with our choices in this year’s election…Again thank you so much.
Unless it's a referendum for Florida to secede again I won't be voting federally: our presidents were selected for us a long time before 2020 rolled around. That said, I can definitely envision a scenario where Trump is selected once again, as the media has stepped up their scrutiny of Pedo Joe in recent months/weeks. Trump's comments this week that "Israel should finish the job" (i.e. the genocide of Gaza) are a clear signal to his handlers that he's willing to stand idly by as the greatest mass killing of the 21st century continues apace.
I heard it differently. To finish Hamas not genocide. He fought Isis and possibly thinks this is similar. Hamas is reportedly an invention by Israel to counter the PLO. craziness and needs to stop. War pigs need to go away.
Another outstanding & well supported expose of the this christian heresy that has persisted for over 100 years. The great tragedy of our day in American brick & mortar "christiandom" is not the great falling away (they cannot "fall away" if they had not first "fallen forward"), but by the purposeful misdirection by self appointed christian leadership. It is not a leap to consider the deceptions foisted on the sheep for financial gain by their leaders. People need to realize that all things manifested in the physical realm ALWAYS have their origin in the spiritual realm of which there are only two, the Kingdom of Light and the kingdom of darkness.
Satan is described for his many evil schemes in the Word, one of which is DECEPTION. Those reading this comment who do not already know this, need to ask themself, "have I ever been deceived?" or "have I ever deceived (lied to) anyone?"
To those in doubt, this subterfuge which these days "seems" to run supreme in America, I will not go into the Word (this time), but I have A SURPRISE for all those professing christians that lack spiritual discernment (and absent spititual fruit of the Spirit, but exercise works of the flesh (Gal 5:16-24), READY?
In part below is the disposition Talmudic jews (rabbis) have for you goyim, a.k.a. non-jews:
It is the Noahide Laws, incorporated into our Federal Education Law (Publaw 102 268, 1982) signed by George Bush, re-signed every year by standing Presidents to this day & made into law by both houses of Congress:
Prohibition of Idolatry (i.e. Jesus Christ)
Prohibition of Murder
Prohibition of Theft
Prohibition of Sexual Promiscuity
Prohibition of Blasphemy
Prohibition of Cruelty to Animals
(source: Talmud Sanh 56a)
The sentence will be determined by the World Jew Court comprising 72 rabbis (the sanhedrin) & the punishment?
The Penalty for Transgression of any Noahide Law is Decapitation. All Christians will be Decapitated by Axe or by Guillotine.
Lastly you need to ask yourself if you are TRULY of the faith, have repented of all your realized sins & place your sole love, devotion and faith in Jesus, the ONLY one who could & did pay the debt for your sins with His own blood.
The first things you need to do if you have read this far, and know things are definitely right between you and the Lord, is renounce every false teaching like the dispensationalism, the star trek notion of the rapture, and EVERY jew notion of jewish supremecy. Never forget, if you are ever accused of anti-semitism, tell them you are. From a jews point of view, anti-semitism is translated in a jews mind as blasphemy (against them; they see themself as "gods") while they are the true chief blasphemers of Yahweh (Jesus) and God. And by the deceitful use of satanic inversion, under the list above of the Noahide Laws, all jews are guilty before God. May the Lord bless you--my hope is you were able to receive this long comment as a benefit in part or in full in your walk.
Here's an up-and-coming WEF Zionist stooge, a 21-year-old who's taking over for Greta Thunberg, the former tool: Xiye Bastida.
She's supposedly an Otomi-Toltec Indian from Mexico who's based in NYC (aren't they all?) and has been all over CNNBCBS and in the newspapers lately. Naturally, she came out of nowhere, organizing climate change demonstrations (the one in NYC had allegedly 300,000 attendees), as most 21-year-old Mexican females do, and the media is fawning.
She checks all the Woke boxes, being multicultural, bilingual and non-American, which means we have to listen to her pre-scripted pablum whether we like it or not (we don't).
However, I did a little background check on our Mexican Indian New Yorker, and discovered she'd changed her name (cue the Red Alert siren). It seems she's not a Bastida at all: she's a Beara, which is pronounced BAY-ARA. Beara is a Slavic name; I knew a local businessman in Yugoslavia named Beara, from a prominent old money family there. Can you guess his family's history?
Beara = Bayer.
So now you know who this WEF mouthpiece is, and why she's being promoted by their Zionist media. Who else?
It’s so diabolical, the manipulation, indoctrination is a hurdle that will be difficult for most to clear to get to the truth because, as you have laid out, we are surrounded by the wolves. Sometimes I wonder why, how I stumbled here, I don’t think it was a coincidence. God bless you and your efforts to explain all of this to us.
This has been a great series brother!

It's a Wonderful thing to be Awake with the Truth! Rebuke this Manipulation without ceasing! And call out Zionist affiliations daily!
