Lauren,
Although your posts of late are intriguing concerning the
anti-christ, they are quite questionable. Also surely if what you are saying is
true, who else concurs? Where are the other confirmations among the brethren in
Christ? I would say almost everyone on this board are diligent seekers of our
Lord and students of eschatology. Certainly not all blindly follow prophecy
teachers but many do dig to know the truth, through the leading of the
Holy Spirit of course.
Who also has come to your conclusions? For this needs to be
confirmed by others. . .
Also I have some questions. . .
If the anti-christ has indeed been revealed who was
“the restrainer” that was taken out of the way that allowed this
revealing 2 THES 2:5-10? Many believe the restrainer is Christ’
bride the salt and light of the earth, she is indeed still here.
Who’s the false prophet?
Also who are the two witnesses that were are supposed to
prophesy 1260 days in Jerusalem?
Also if all of the judgments spoken of in the book of
Revelation happen between now and Oct. 9, 2008 what of the earth will be left
for the anti-christ to rule? From my own study, there won’t be much left.
You made a lot of strong statements below, and I quote. . .
“IT IS A
‘STRONG DELUSION
Those who are LOOKING FOR
A ‘RAPTURE’ and another SEVEN YEARS will become disarrayed and
distressed, IF THEY DIDN’T RECOGNIZE the antichrist at HIS REVEALING
on October 12th and will not be prepared when the ‘Day of
the Lord' comes fulfilling Jeremiah 50:31-32 with the ‘sudden
destruction’ in the US on its cities and leader!”
Lauren, I am positive many on this board walk circumspectly with
an open mind when it comes to prophecy. Not all are so dogmatic about coming
end time events—I doubt seriously that people on this board will be
“disarrayed or distressed” or totally confused for they will
definitely know something is up if destruction begins in our country. . .
even if they doubt Al Gore is the anti-christ, which I am sure he is
anti-christ but I’m not sure he fits the bill for the “man of
sin”; and to only go on what you have posted on this board is not wise;
however, I will, as I’m sure others will, seek our Lord to find out for
ourselves. I’m very confident the Lord will reveal the truth to His
people that love Him and there will be no question in time.
It will be THOSE WHO
REJECT AND REPENT and turn away from THIS LIE that will even have a chance of
GETTING INTO THE WILDERNESS.
Now this is a really strong statement, if our escape is based on
our knowledge of who the “man of sin” is and our knowledge of end
time events then there are lots of folks in trouble! I definitely need
scripture for this.
I’m pretty sure our escape is based on whether or not we
have been truly born again into Christ, surely it won’t
be based on our knowledge of end time events!?!???
Those who don’t will
be tested because they didn’t recognize the antichrist and will
become PRIMED TO BE SHEARED AND TAKE THE ‘MARK’ at the
‘fifth’ seal or become martyrs.
. . .we will be tested because we didn’t recognize the
anti-christ? Hmmm where’s the scripture for this? “primed to be
sheared and take the mark” As stated before, true followers of Jesus
Christ will know something is up if this indeed happens, I don’t think
you should assume every believer is a completely blinded. A true follower of
Jesus Christ is prompted by the Holy Spirit and guided by Him alone. For the just shall walk by faith and not by sight.
The prophecy
‘gurus’ have made the ‘seventy weeks’ timeline their
cornerstone, DENYING THAT IT WAS YESHUA who fulfilled those ‘six
attributes’ in Daniel 9:24-26 and ASSIGNED THEM TO THE ANTICHRIST. Who
now has already been revealed!
This overpowering 'deluding influence' has so blinded the masses that they
have become willingly ignorant, “scoffers walking after their own
lusts" II Peter 3:3 and 5.
Lauren, what true believer has become “willingly
ignorant”? And since when did a lack of knowledge about an end time event
become justification to call a person a “scoffer walking after their own
lust”, I don’t see the connection.
I trust God to reveal the truth to me and to His people--whether
or not your statements are true concerning the anti-christ remains to be seen
and I certainly don’t believe our knowledge of who the “man of
sin” is determines whether or not we will escape the wrath of God. This
type of statement does not line up with scripture.
Our Lord has not appointed His people unto wrath but to escape
it regardless of whether or not we know who the anti-christ is.
Be Blessed,
Cindy
