reply to Michael.

How would you explain, that the world follow the anti-christ in astonisment,
and find it amazing what he do, if he started with making persecution ??? -
believe me, he is genius, and evil, so terrible, that we couldnt
understand. - But we all know that he is a creation, like we are, and he is
up against the Great Creator, we know how it all will end, -Praise and Love
to our Lord, and God, Jesus Christ and His victory on the cross on Golgatha
!

And 2. Thessaloniker 2:7-13.v. dont say it will start with persecution. He
will come with great charm, and fill who he can with great lies: He will
talk about freedom, which he will follow up, and let people do what they
want to do, until they only believe in him. Someone will believe in, that it
most be "the new comming jesus" comming as radical, as he did to the jews,
in the first comming.

But take a look on Daniel 9:23-27.v. - here you find this 3 and a half year,
from anti-christs seven year covenant. its also 42 month or 126o days.
He will breake it in the midle, 3 and a halft year, and forbid offering in
the Temple, and if the Lords Supper still is in the christians churchs, he
will cancelled it to. And the the world will se who they obey !

I think that we shall be more open minded, to what Daniel wrote down to us,
and understand that the Book of Rev. and
the Book of Daniel complete each others. Read it in the last chpt 12, and
take an extra look on verse 9-13.
