The Antichrist - Part 2

At the time Daniel wrote the ninth chapter of his book, had already his prediction from the second and seventh chapter meets that conquer the Medo-Persians, Babylon would, because Daniel was now living already, together with all residents of the former Babylonian empire at the time of the Median King Darius. We find in this chapter, the astonishing prediction of Year of the crucifixion of the Messiah, which was discussed in the first episode of this series in more detail.
in the same connection we get a Which transparent detail of information about the Antichrist, because it was though in the previous verse speaks of the Roman predecessor of the Antichrist, the Emperor Titus Flavius Vespasian, we know from a statement by Jesus himself, that the following Scripture only in the Antichrist, the last world Mr. Shea will meet shortly before the return of Christ.

There is talk here of a seven-year covenant or agreement that is in another place as "the holy covenant ', and suggesting that this is a religious agreement will act as something of a peace agreement between the major world religions - a federal government the world has never needed more so today. This peace treaty between - we suppose - Christianity, Judaism and Islam, will allow the Jews to build their temple, destroyed in 70 AD, and again the ancient sacrificial rituals re-established. In the middle of the seven years, however, is the world's rulers break the covenant and take away the daily sacrifice again and build instead of the temple a telling image of himself that is Daniel here the "abomination of desolation" mentioned:

"But he will reaffirm the covenant with many (confirm) a week ("Shabua" = "seven," so 7 years). And in the middle of the week (7 years) he shall cause the slaughtering and meat offering. And in the sanctuary (the rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem) will be an abomination, it desolate, until the agreed destruction will gush about it "(Daniel 9:27).

leaves the interpretation of this verse only in connection based setting with other Scriptures .

In the eleventh chapter of the Book of Daniel, the "holy covenant" mentioned four times (Dan.11: 28, 30, 32), in conjunction with a "despicable people" will rise as rulers and by flattery of the Kingdom will take possession " (Dan.11: 21). We know that this is the Antichrist because it has the same features as the little horn of Daniel 7 and 8: "And do the King is what he wants, and will be arrogant boast, and against everything that is God . And against the God of gods he will speak monstrous, and what he does he will be able to complete the anger is because we do need what is decided "(Dan. 11:36).

As in Daniel 9:27 we find also indications that limit the power of the Antichrist in a certain time, followed by the wrath of God and the destruction of anti-Christian empire.

is again in chapter 11 verse 31 speaks of the mysterious horrors of destruction: "His armies are ... the sanctuary (the temple) and desecrate away the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation."

In verse 45, the geographical position of this destruction is confirmed-making idol, "And he will set up the tents of his palace between the seas, sacred to the mountain, but it will come to his end, and no one will help him."

The Holy Mountain, and Zion or Moriah called, is located between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea, and both Jesus and Paul, and John put it beyond doubt that this will be water place to build on the Antichrist his headquarters is.

betrays Jesus His disciples in Matthew 24, after they ask him for signs that announce His return would be: "If ye shall see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place, the prophet Daniel spoke vovon (who reads the notice on) ... then great tribulation will prevail, such as has not been nom beginning of the world ... " (Mat.24: 15, 21)

In Revelation 13, one of the most significant chapter on the reign of the Antichrist, we find this ominous marvel of modern technology again: In this chapter, John describes the Antichrist as a seven-headed beast with 10 horns, a large mouth, which speaks blasphemous things, and 42 months, the Faithful to suppress and exercise over all the nations of the world player. another beast with horns like a lamb, "the talking but" like a dragon "is apparently acting as Minister of Propaganda of the Antichrist, and" reveals that the earth and dwell in it to the first beast (the Antichrist) worship "(v. 12 ).

"And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs, to do ... is given him power, and says to them that dwell on earth, that they should make an image of the beast ... And it was given him power to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image could make talk of the animal and that all who would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. " (Revelation 13:14, 15).

There are several interpretations of these scriptures, and speculation about who should be this beast, the Antichrist. Some religious groups claim that it was a here to the reigning Pope, and others again it would be, to other characters from history, we followed the Christian Roman emperor, or even events that go even further back in history. However, it would

sure all noticed a man who ruled over all peoples and nations, (also on another deadly attack was perpetrated by which he lived) would have a speaking image of himself erected, all the to worship the peoples of the earth, and which at the same power would have to kill all who refused to leave.

is to let pictures speak a capability that humanity only in the last 100 years has acquired, and even if there may have been in the last hundred years, figures, in which some of those anti-Christian features filled, there were still so far no one in which all these properties would have met. Above all, no one would have exercised the dominion over the entire earth.

And another historical event will honor the Antichrist and his Propagandamisnister as a team, that the World history has not seen so far Nocht, since it is the cash system on which our current economy is based, is replaced with a cashless credit system, which even today's credit card is superfluous:

"And it makes that all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to make a mark can be in their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell unless he has the mark ... " (Rev.13: 16, 17).

As long as we can pay even more so in our super markets with cash, and in temples, churches, synagogues and mosques still be free to pursue our beliefs, we know that the Antichrist not yet ruled. But what if there would be a global economic crisis, similar to the 30's, with some financial analysts have compared the stock market crash of 2008? What if religious tensions by the conflicts in the Middle East the world to the brink of the 3rd World War II drive or drives another global crisis, the world to the brink of despair?

Which scenario will make the world ready for the solutions of the anti-Christ has to offer: a "holy covenant" and the peace treaty between world religions and a cash-free and thus crisis-resistant world economic system, as well as all countries of the world uniting universal ideology?
And how can you be this time prepare, from which one can be equally certain that they occur, how will the prophecies have been fulfilled over the previous empires in history ...? will bring

how even seemingly perfect world government system, the man reached, will also have its pitfalls, and not turn out as that is what the citizens of the new world order will be hoping that, we want to handle in future episodes of this series.

Pillows For High Arches

The Antichrist - Part 1: Daniel 8

The prophetic chapters 2 and 7 the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament Teaching We would want to rise from the Roman Empire for the last world empire, led by a man who will be characterized by a profane mouth, changes in laws and times, as well as persecution of the people of God, known in circles of believers of many denominations as the "Antichrist" is.

While skeptics all forecasts about the appearance of the coming New World Order often abstempteln as "conspiracy theories", so know the faithful that the biblical prophecies have about the man not so slight of hand, after all, have the predictions of the previous empires met precisely.

In 8th chapter of his book describes the living at the court of Babylon Jewish prophet Daniel, as he has once again come visions of world empires. This time the Almighty is in his future descriptions that He gives to His servant Daniel, which is in Babylon following Empire Medo-Persia as a ram, whose horns of a higher than the other, again pointing to the power differentials between the Medes and Persians, as already in the vision of the silver arms in Daniel 2, and erected on one side bears in Daniel 7

The Greek Empire, which conquered Medo-Persia and detached from the world domination would be represented in this vision by a goat, with a "notable horn between his eyes," which in turn represents Alexander the Great. After the decline of the horn to grow in its place four other horns, which is the division of his empire under Alexander's four generals.

now makes Daniel a leap in time and describes - as in Daniel 7, a "little horn" which here would emerge from one of the 4 parts of the Greek empire, and to the south and east, and the promised land powerful would. From the following verses, we know it here in this small Horn, as well as in the 7th Chapter, again dealing with the Antichrist.
Daniel describes this horn part of the heavenly host, So the angel that would raise the earth ( V.10), an event that is confirmed in the Book of Revelation of John, and described in more detail:

"And the great dragon, that ancient serpent, who called the Devil and Satan is, who deceives the whole world was thrown to the ground, and his angels were cast out with him ... cast down the accuser of our brethren, who accuses them day and night before our God ... Woe to the earth and the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows he has little time. " (Offb.12 :9-12)
Here is described that moment in world history, in which Satan himself in the drive body of the Antichrist to take his demons who take possession of his successors, for 3 ½ years of rule over the earth.

Daniel also describes how the little horn, the Antichrist will take away the daily sacrifice ( V.11) . This is a first indication that the time of the Antichrist and his final world order of the Jewish temple rebuilt in Israel and the Jewish ritual sacrifices must be reinstated. An event which not only devout Christians but also orthodox Jews look with anticipation. It is known that preparations for the reconstruction of the temple has been under way for decades, and this can be built at any given time within a very short time. In the next verse

Announces Daniel that the little horn will throw the truth to the ground.

For believers has always been the word of God is the measure of truth .

We see here the first evidence for the Antichrist to the biblical view of things and description discard ban is yes, and declare his ideology as the only valid will.

It is the angel Gabriel in this chapter Daniel explained his vision, and he repeated three times that this prophecy refers to the time of the end of the world. Therefore, we know Furthermore, these visions have not been fulfilled, as often interpreted by Bible scholars.
Finally, Gabriel us an insightful description of the man who will enslave the end of the world towards the human race:

"And at the end of that kingdom, when the transgressors, the measure will have made full, stand up a king, insolent brow and . dark secrets knowledgeable
And his power will be strong, but not by his own power, and he is amazing cause destruction, and act and prosper, and he shall destroy strong and the people of the Holy
And through. his prudence will allow the deception in his hand; and he will lift himself in his heart, and by spoil many false peace. And against the Prince of princes, he shall also stand up, but are crushed without human hands. " (Daniel 8:23-25)

that his power will lie not in its own strength, as Gabriel explains in verse 24, but in the another is also confirmed by John in the Apocalypse:
"And they worshiped the dragon who gave the beast his power." (Rev.13: 4)

is the 13th chapter of Revelation, the Antichrist as "the described animal, "which has similar characteristics as the four monsters Daniel once saw in his vision to rise from the sea . This animal has seven heads, symbolic of the 7 world powers throughout history to control the world would, and one of those heads has 10 horns, similar to the fourth monster from Daniel's vision in chapter 7 . Only that the Antichrist will not be described only as "little horn", but as of that animal or monster itself, which embodies all the empires in themselves, as if that final world empire of the Antichrist, the ultimate fulfillment of all that is what his predecessor only partially reached brought.

The dragon is the dark lord's power, is, as in the previously mentioned verse Rev. 12:9 describes the devil or Satan. Who has a Christian doubts about the existence of the devil, should remember that the devil will total at least 111 times in the books of the Bible, and thus may constitute a reality of the Judeo-Christian faith.

Gabriel also predicts the fate of the last ruler of the world, namely that he is going to be crushed without human hands ", but not without first" to destroy the people of the saints. " After the Antichrist, the largest religious persecution in history, the " great tribulation ," those darkest 3 1 / 2 years of humanity will bring upon the earth, he will come to an abrupt end, and not by a human hand, but by the same weapon and the same tool that once produced the world sebst:
Paul, in his second letter to the then municipality of the Greek city of Thessaloniki, gives us some of the most telling lines about the show and the destruction of the Antichrist from the same it becomes clear that Jesus - as assumed by many Christians today - will not return before the show:
"We beseech you, brethren, concerning the return of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering with Him, that ye be not shaken quickly will in the disposition, even frightened, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as if the Lord's day already there would be.
you let no one in any seducing a way, because this day is not, unless that first come a falling away and revealed to be the man of sin, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself over everything what is God or an object of worship, so that it is in the temple of God, pretending that he himself was God.
... then the lawless one will be revealed, the will of the Lord Jesus hinwegtun by the breath of his mouth and destroyed by the brightness of his coming, it is based, whose coming on the power of Satan. He will perform with great power and deceptive characters and miracles. "
(2 Thessalonians 2:3-4,8-9)

In chapter 19 of Revelation and in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 the defeat of the Antichrist and his Army in the legendary battle of Armageddon against the heavenly army of the future conqueror and eternal ruler Jesus Christ described in more detail.
From these chapters we can see that these prophecies have not yet met, as some interpretations, as we in the recent history still not powerful generals, together with hosts "in the mountains of Israel" have come to see (Hes.39: 4). This event is for which lies ahead of us battle of Armageddon reserved.

But there are other characteristics of the Antichrist and his kingdom of darkness are imminent, about which we give the following chapters of the book Daniels digestion. was
