They're really good at claiming someone is the anti-christ, they seem to be less than skilled at ACCURATELY identifying it.
There's an unwritten rule: when there's a question in an article's title, more often than not the answer is "no"
Yeah, I only put it in there because it's strongly suggested in the rules 😒
When Trump got elected I joked about America spawning an anti-pope and how it'd been a good 500 years since our last one. After the pope became an American suddenly my joke felt less funny. Evangelicals claiming a "woke pope" and declaring an "American Pope" seems entirely plausible to me now
Don’t even have to read the article as they’ve clearly already failed that test.
Sure, but the article's still as fun as the best Omen movies
It might be even simpler. The Bible refers to the devil as the father of lies. And who's a prodigious and shameless liar?
As for the seven hills, that remark almost certainly refers to Rome, which according to its founding myths, was initially settled by Romulus and Remus on seven hills which are now major sites in the city center.
Another small point: the US is assumed to be the nation of many tongues and many peoples, but Russia is also ethnically diverse (as befits an old empire) and, to a lesser extent, so is China (for the same reason).
As for the seven hills, that remark almost certainly refers to Rome
There is pretty much nothing in the Bible that doesn't refer to the Roman empire or Egypt.
Because that was the entire world as it was known to the people who wrote the thing.
Just ask Peter Theil. He knows the Antichrist.
I've been citing that article for years. Best analysis of the Anti-Christ I've seen.
Same here. Agreed.
The "holy people" are probably Jews. I think the interpretation is incorrect there. Jews are the chosen people in the bible.
John the Divine was writing long after Christianity had pivoted to admitting Gentiles, so I doubt this. There had been a faction fight between those who considered Christianity to be for Jews only (most prominently, James and others in Jerusalem) and those who wanted to make it more inclusive (primarily Paul and his allies). The non-exclusive faction won out.
One of those paths he read I think he interpreted as Trump taking over Israel. If it can also be assumed that those are the broken holy people from previous interpretations, that would make sense. So the Jews are broken and Trump takes over Israel?
I guess it's all conjecture though. Some of those interpretations seem like a stretch. I would have related Covid to the plague angel, and taken the bitter water prediction as them literally changing the ocean water pH through abuse of the earth, climate change acceleration, war, and pollution, etc.
Edit: Also weird is angels blow trumpets. Dude's name is Trump. I feel like a conspiracy bro right now.
He's got a few wrong:
the "mortal head wound" in Rev 13 has nothing to do with that rifle-bullet which didn't get blood on Trump's ear: that was from the Secret Service agent's tackling him..
the "mortal head wound" has to do with the stroke ( remember the droopy-mouth? ) & the dementia, treated monthly with drugs, which is why he's cycling into/out-of dementia/derangement.
THAT is what gets suddenly-cured, shortly.
The one where it talks about "he likes winning", or however he phrased that one, is misrepresenting the original-texts: those speak of CONQUERING, not winning: his strike on Venezuela, & then declaring himself the president of Venezuela was demonstration of what the Christian bible was talking about.
etc.
Yeah, it's coming true, & there are probably only days left, before the "1st Seal" is opened, but since humankind won't grow-up on its own, then forcing-the-issue is required, right?
So, it's all for the best, obviously..
< shruggeth >
Oh, the biblical people for some reason won't understand something fundamental: the "demon thrown from heaven to earth" is what makes each of the "seals" worse: evil's more-completely-thrown from .. wherever "heaven" is, to Earth, with each "seal".
So, 1st "seal", then 1st "measure" of evil.
2nd "seal", then 2nd "measure" of evil.
etc.
it ramps up, so that it's survivable, if a portion of humankind evolves, fast-enough.
The biblical-types pretend that it happens all-at-once, & is over in 3.5y.
No, the 7/2y thing happens in several different ways ( like how long the root-guru of the Christians was operating in Judea, & how long I expect Trump to be operating, & how long, in the 2070's, that I expect the everything-dead stage to last, etc ).
It's the same thing as having 4-decades be the duration that Moses kept the "lost" in the desert, & the duration for the WAR stage: resonance.
Anyways, yeah, that page's important, but it's an oversimplification, kinda dumbed-down..
Oh, here's another error in it, I remember: his position is that the good-guys win the Americas war.
That ISN'T what the actual-text says: it says it continues "until it is finished", NOT until the-good win.
For anybody wanting clean texts to consider, please hit biblegateway.com
and rely 1st on CJB, then on EXB, then on AMP.
Since I don't understand the Jewish jargon in CJB, I have to use the others to decrypt stuff, but the others are prone to over-interpretation ( presuming that prophecies were already fulfilled historically, when they actually pertain to the End Times ).
Also, that site's got a feature where you can have 1 single verse shown with ALL the renditions they've got, so that you can see all the different translations/interpretations, to discover which it is that LivingSpirit's trying to get you to see..
Here's Rev 13:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+13&version=CJB
Here's that mortal-head-wound verse, shown in all possible variants:
https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Revelation%2013:3
( that site is annoying, in that it's nearly-impossible to get that feature?
I have to edit the book-name & the chapter-number & the verse-number in the address-bar, because search NEVER gets me there, on that site: I only discovered it existed through DuckDuckGo )
The Conquering Time, the white-horse, begins .. probably within a week.
it'll last 7-ish years, then WAR's time ( WW3 begins in the early 2030's: this current next-stage is only the Regional Consolidation stage ).
That'll last 4+ decades.
then the food-chain(s) die.
Forced-growing-up, whole-planet-species scale.
The Great Filter.
Prep, especially psychologically: this isn't going to end in our lifespans.
