Did you know that the pope is Antichrist?
The meaning of Antichrist is "Insteed of christ".
The end time events involve the last regim, a union or a global nation, symbolically called a mixture of clay and steel. It will not last, but this nation will look like a lamb but speak like of a dragon. (maybe a false christ-state with persecutes the real people of God)
Catholic connection
Today the Vatican power is trying to unite all so called christian churches under the catholic institution. They try to create a new world order by uniting the religious realm with the power of the nationstates, they will also include the fallen angels by including the new age realm
Nationstate connection
In the medieval times there were a union between catholic church and nationstates/kings. That resulted in persecution of free people, witchburning and a totalitarian dictatorship in Europe.
New age connection
This false church do not have Gods blessing, but the fallen angels will give power to humans så that it seems that they are doing miracles. Bible say that many false Christ-persons will appear in the end times.
But there is another people
Gods people in the end times will be a international church, with the testimony of Jesus Christ.
We need to get out of Babylon so that we do not take part of her sins.
God forgives all sins that we ask forgiveness of.
I'm not religious. To many (esp kids) have died in the name of religion, it is a man made -up construction/mindset. To me the 'books' are works of man, modified over time to suit a mans purpose. I am interested in the history component they may contain and how it relates to archeology. However I understand and accept that others do believe in these institutions, and from them I gain learning & understanding as to why, which helps my learning also.
Understood. Some of us are still on the "inside" trying to steer our religion into a less destructive mindset. Let us know how we are doing :)
There is so much info / investigation on the net. eg the history of the biblical texts, how & when they where changed etc.
The "interpretation" of those texts I appreciate, it's the "blind faith" & the "preachers" (that take money from the poor for themselves) that I disagree with mostly.
I'm with you about blind faith and greedy preachers. I have not heard of KEK. Are you aware of the branches of eschatology called Preterism and Historicism that say those prophecies were usually fulfilled in the lifetime of the prophet? Or belonged to a genre of biblical literature called Apocalypse which was not meant to be taken as a prophecy of future events but rather spiritual events?
No I have not heard of those, but will research. Thanks.
I've been seeking an answer to "Why is the Queen a Queen", and the rabbit holes are amazing! & lots of Royal blood line & religion comes into it.
I'll bet. One of the mindsets that needed to be challenged before we could have an American Revolution was the Divine Right of Kings.
The last revolution or the current one? :-)
FYI the kings stuff heads all the way back to Switzerland / Lichtenstein area and before that gets very hazzy...(pre AD 500'ish)
I so want a look see in the vatican (if I knew latin & greek)
ie pre 0 AD...back to egypt times.
Dan Brown was possibly on the right track IMHO
I think the antichrist is not a person, but rather an "ism" or a belief. The thing that John dealt with that was against Christ was Gnosticism. He makes mention of it elsewhere, though not by name. 1 John 2:18 - "Little children, it is the End Times: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the End Times." Also: 1 John 4:3 "and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already."
