The End Times: Who is the Beast and the Antichrist?

The one who foolishly and fearlessly posts heresy after heresy is asking somebody else for scriptural proof?

Now, I have seen everything.

You have not got a clue when it comes to end-times prophecy.

Somebody needs to tell you, so it might as well be me.

Here is your latest nonsensical statement, and I have overlooked numerous other ones before this:


No, your posts on this thread stand for deceit and falsehood, but this fire is literal.

Revelation chapter 18

[8] Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
[9] And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
[10] Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
[11] And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
[12] The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
[13] And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
[14] And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
[15] The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
[16] And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
[17] For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
[18] And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
[19] And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
[20] Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
[21] And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
[22] And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
[23] And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
[24] And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Not only is this a literal city, but it will be literally burnt with fire.

Of course, this literal city will also purchase the items from the merchants that are listed in verses 12 through 13 (all which pertain to a temple), and in it will be found the blood of prophets (vs. 24) whose blood God will avenge (vs. 20). Then there are all of the other descriptors of this "great city" (where the Lord was crucified, spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where Peter wrote his epistle from, etc., etc.), all of which you have conveniently overlooked as you have spread your nonsense here.

Babylon the Great is Jerusalem, and no fairy tale that you can ever come up with is going to change this reality.

You need a lot of help, and it will only be found on your knees repenting before the Lord.

Like I said, somebody had to tell you...otherwise Christ himself will tell you on the day of judgment.

You are butchering God's word, and that ought to make you fear and tremble.

I have reported your unChristian-like behavior, just so you know.

I can’t believe anybody can be so cruel.

Telling the truth is unChristian?

You need a lot of help.

Report me to God, and see what he says.

You have not got a clue when it comes to end-times prophecy, and the proof is easily found in your own posts.

Try repentance instead of reporting.

That is your only true hope.

Telling the truth is not cruel.

Leaving people in their deceit is cruel.

Proverbs 27:5-6

"Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful."

No Christian should dare to take on the role of Satan. Doing so will lead you to a bad place, even in this life.

Revelation 12:10. NKJV

10 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.

I think this is a very important topic since the end times and the revealing of the beast is fast approaching with a lot of false prophecy is coming out of the woodwork lately to try to distract us from the real deal. I don't think we should be uninformed about this. So I'm asking everyone: Who do you think is the beast, the antichrist and Babylon? Please post the Bible verses that brought you to that belief.

l think the fourth beast in daniel will be a one world gov. because the angel reveals that this beast will differ from the others by trampling the whole earth etc.
It is the same beast of revelation (7 heads, 10 horns)
An image (Greek translation is icon) of a global government (beast), that is given the breath of life and the ability to speak, what could it be?
Mankinds greatest effort to give life to anything is artificial intellegence, in my opinion.
It seems like it would be virtually impossible to create one image that encompasses a global entity.
All the images on the www of a global kingdom combined with a superintellegence that has been given conciousness and the ability to speak great things seems like a good candidate.
More likely than a talking statue, or painting etc., which has crossed my mind in the past.
Whatever it will be was either dead or in an inanimate state, and it couldn't speak before being transformed.
John described it as having eyes like a human.
So not a human, but having eyes that appear humanlike.
The implication is that John perceives something that has a humanlike form but he beleives that its not really human, even though they did a good job on the eyes.
That's a good description of the latest robot designs.
This living image will claim to be God.
I don't think that the entire world has ever worshipped any one thing at the same time.
A couple of things that come to mind are money and the www, or rather the imagery and entertainment it gives access to.
Something else of interest to me is that one heads of the beast is dealt a mortal wound and then somehow miraculously healed.
This causes the population of the world to be in awe and compelled to follow this beast.
This healing must be very remarkable indeed.
What deception could be so well designed as to fool the elect of God, (if it were possible)?
What if this healing is actually a ressurrection?
What if AI figures out a method that can translate a human intellect into an eletronic algorithim?
God said "it is appointed once for man to die"
What if satan asks " did god really say you have to die"?
"You can continue to exist for millenia in my paradise".
"You will be as god"!
How many would be able to resist such a temptation?
To see friends and family members living in a metaverse, a cyberworld long after they would have been dead, and then choose to die when the time comes instead of joining the crowd.
That's a lie capable of fooling almost anyone.
I believe there's a scripture that says something like "there will come a time when a man will seek death and won't be able to find it"
Practically speaking, how could that happen?
Like a zombie on the walking dead?
Or maybe someone who's consciousness is under complete control of a demonic superintellegence, that has real time access to all the data containing everything that they have ever searched, scrolled, liked, followed, and deleted, everything that their's and any other phone's tablet's etc. camera and mic has recorded since they have been on the earth.
The choice to commit suicide could even be denied.
A man could seek death and not be able to find it.
God included information in his word about the past and the future.
From the beginning through the end of this world and the beginning of the next.
It's included because its integral and transformative.
I hope this is helpful for someone.
Just my thoughts, not my conclusions on the subject
The most interesting subject existing.

There's a thread right now called "What is the point of being a prophet?" where the original poster starts with that question and then several posts later give his prophecy about the beast which he thinks is Russia, the antichrist which he thinks is Putin and the US he thinks is Babylon. There are too many Bible verses that contradict that prophecy and I posted that as such.

I'm truly surprised that no one is posting against that false prophecy except me though. This forum is well versed in the Rapture and its various positions of No-. Pre-, Mid-, and Post-Tribulation Rapture. So the silence on other areas of study on the end times is quite significant and I think strange.

I think this is a very important topic since the end times and the revealing of the beast is fast approaching with a lot of false prophecy is coming out of the woodwork lately to try to distract us from the real deal. I don't think we should be uninformed about this. So I'm asking everyone: Who do you think is the beast, the antichrist and Babylon? Please post the Bible verses that brought you to that belief.

The first beast is of Revelation chapter 13 is the Roman Empire

while second beast with 2 horns like a lamb is the United States of America.

The Antichrist is the Man of Sin told in 2 Thessalonians 2.

One day I hope we can talk in depth on this topic. We seem to have opposing views, yet hold some of the same ideas. I think we would both learn a lot from it.

back

No, the Roman empire is gone and isn't coming back. None of the beasts or previous kings (Rev 17) are repeats. ***Answer : The Roman Empire improvised later became the Holy Roman Empire controlled by papacy and still carry out bloodshed thru centuries by Crusades and Inquisition, as the Bible says make war against the saints!


Nope. The second beast is a man, one man called the false prophet.
***Answer: The beast is always represents a kingdom or nation by Bible prophecy. The said false prophet is part of the first beast as the head of the false church(Whore).


Yes, and in Rev the AC is the false prophet. Both perform miracles to deceive and both are the leaders of the ten horned beast. Additionally the AC is called the little horn in Daniel, and the FP in Rev 13 has two little horns. Same person. ***Answer : Yes, the AC is the false prophet and also the little horn of in Daniel but not the second beast of Revelation 13. The second beast is not connected to first beast guilty of blood of the saints! The ten horns is the European Union now, is no longer connected to Holy Roman empire , as the Bible says they shall hate the Whore!

Which, ironically, is precisely what you are doing with me.

Now, do you have any input on the topic at hand?

Would you care to tell us what "great city" will be buying the items listed in Revelation 18:12-13 in the last days?

Would you care to tell us what "great city" Jesus was crucified in?

Would you care to tell us what "great city" is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt?

Would you care to tell us what "great city" is guilty of the blood of the prophets?

Shall I go on?
