Selahsays is exactly right! The antichrist is not some flesh man. Flesh man cannot perform miracles and wanders, snapping his fingers and lightning strikes in the sight of men. If she want say, I will say if all those theologians and books you talk about say that antichrist is some flesh man, than yes they are all wrong and need to quit reading them.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
THE Antichrist is the son of perdition; there is only 1 son of perdition (to perish=sentenced to die). Only 1 mentioned by name to die and that is Satan! He is not a flesh man and never will be; he will come de-facto in person, in his created spiritual body.
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
He- 3 times for enthuses! The so called gap theory by scholars was originally 7 years (1 week) but CHRIST shortens to 5 months- {time of the locust}; time of locust in nature is May through September. 4 stages of the locust; we are in the consuming and last stage where all wealth and treasures are consumed. This leads the desolator coming in peaceably and prosperously taking over the 1 world-1st beast system in play giving him the means of putting a chicken in every pot and paying off your bills, thing is you have to bow to him to make it happen and it is only his to give for 5 months. The true MESSIAH never made man do anything he didn’t want to do, Satan does.
The first half at end of 5th trump Satan and fallen kicked out of heaven, he comes in secretly taking over the 1st beast system of the 1 world order that is close to being as writing, shortened to 2 and half months (75 days).
2nd half and 6th trump he makes himself known to the world coming in peaceably and prosperously paying off all those who bow and take the mark (2nd beast). The oblation and sacrifices stop because he claims to be the messiah to just worship him, it comes when he stands atop Mt of Olives just as CHRIST and all stop. He Comes in on 6th seal, 6th trump, and 6th vial=666.
Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
The 70 sevens of Dan.9:24-27 Begin with the Commencement of the rebuilding; began in 454BC where the evil doers were against Nehemiah and the workers and half on guard with weapons and half building with tools in a troubled time indeed.
Neh 4:16 And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah. Neh 4:17 They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
7 in Biblical numeric’s = Spiritual completeness. “The threescore and two sevens” (Dan9:26), or 434 years begin (or rather, fallow on) in 405BC and end in AD 29 the year of the Cross. The last seven is still future. The first 4 of the seven- sevens ended in 426 BC, marked by the decree of Cyrus, which ended the Babylonian Servitude of seventy years.
1st set of 7s} (7x7=49 years). 2nd set of 7s} 3 score (60) and 2 7's} 62 X 7= 434 years= from 405 BC to 29AD, cutting off of MESSIAH; this was 483 years from the issuing of the decree in 454 BC (49 + 434= 483)
The cutting off of MESSIAH is stated in verse: 26, is after the 62 weeks (62 X 7=434 years). 3rd set of 7s} is the last 7 years of antichrist, verse :27 of Dan.9
The year called 33AD is actually 29AD (crucifixion date) with a 4 year correction because of the use of Anno Domini-‘the year of our LORD’ (some confusion with bishops at the point and time of Mark. ) which comes to exactly 483 years Messiah was cut off from the decree of 454bc= 29ad.
I shortened as much as I dare; a long subject on such a platform.
