"To Gerlinda.....Answering your questions as to "Who is He" ....antichrist"


Gerlinda,
 
Thank you for the kind and encouraging words concerning my article "Who is He??" http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/dec2012/johnb1211.htm
 
You have asked me several questions on areas concerning this beast and I'll try to answer them using God's words and not mine.  http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/dec2012/gerlinda1212.htm
 
 
You asked........
One question John: Since this King that comes out of the Seven and is himself the Sixth is, basically, a leader of the Spiritual Kingdom that rides shotgun over the Political Kingdoms, wouldn't he be the one that continues to Smooze the world with great wonders that cause them to follow a Political Leader? And wouldn't he be also referred to as The False Prophet?
 
Gerlinda, your question is a good one and I can see the logic in your thinking, but that's not what God's word says will happen. It is this religious figure who will become the first beast who mankind has tagged as the antichrist that will garner all the power. Let me explain.........
 
When God describes this first beast who definitely is the antichrist in Rev.13:1-8 the description is very figurative (multiple heads and horns etc.) so the average person who won't take the time to read further in the bible is left wide open to insert any name of a worldwide figure they dislike or have a hunch about to fill the role of this first beast or the antichrist. Consequently millions are deceived even before the real "great deception"spoken of in scripture starts. Deceived into believing that it's Obama or The Prince of England or The King of Spain or whomever.......... that will eventually fill this evil position of the antichrist.
 
When one decodes God's figurative language from Rev.13 in Rev.17 we learn the true identity of this first beast with seven heads and ten horns and he is the resurrected demonically filled likeness of a religious leader
 
1) We learn that the seven heads stand for seven kings (Rev.17:10) that are directly affiliated with a worldwide evil organization figuratively represented by a drunken harlot woman. This woman / organization is riding this beast meaning that they are an evil team. And we know that Satan has indwelled this beast from reading Rev.13:4. So this woman / organization is in full collusion with Satan himself. God despises this woman / worldwide organization. God alerts us to this organizations abominations and the filthiness of her fornications and to the blood she has let by murdering millions of His followers. Rev. 17:1-6
2) God through John the revelator in Rev.17 and 18 describes this organization in such great detail that there is absolutely no doubt as to what worldwide organization it is. The Roman Catholic Church........And when you dwell on the fact that John wrote this description of this organization 200 years before the RCC even existed.....that's prophecy at it's best. And if you are an x-Catholic like myself, reading these chapters is like walking down memory lane.
3) God then reveals to us that this beast will rise from the bottomless pit and also that he was alive, he died, and yet is. (Rev.17:8 and Rev.17:11) Meaning that he will appear to come alive again. But that's not possible because we know from scripture that ...'it is given to man once to live". Hence as I surmised yesterday I believe this entity to be the king of the bottomless pit.......a very powerful demon called Abaddon. (Rev.9:11)
4) Then when you examine the puzzle of the seven kings in Rev.17:9-11 from a Catholic perspective and from it's history you get dates,a new country, names and faces all of which I detailed yesterday.
 
And Gerlinda, there is no way to shuffle the deck to make this beast the false prophet who most people refer to as the second beast. He is and will be by God's word the first beast, the antichrist. And as per God's word he will be a resurrected demonically filled likeness of John Paul II who as per God's word will become the eighth king of the RCC or the eighth pope since the Vatican became it's own country in 1929. As I stated yesterday I believe that this likeness of John Paul II will be Abaddon the king of the bottomless pit mentioned in Rev.9:11 .....and it's going to be a 911 moment when he shows up.
 
Your second question..........
I guess I have to add a second question John: Revelation 17:16-17 speaks of the the 10 kings hating the Harlot and making her desolate and naked, eating her flesh burning her up with fire. They have a common purpose (put there by God) to give their kingdoms to the Beast. So, does the King of this false religion now being Abaddon, (who is not Satan himself but the King over the Bottomless Pit) do away with the Vatican (the organization) now act alone in league with Satan?
 
Gerlinda, one thing I should have brought up in my above answer that also applies to your second question is that multiple demons can inhabit a person a the same time. I am sure you remember when Jesus was present on earth and he cast a whole "legion' of demons from just one man.
That being said I believe that this (to use a current term) avatar that ascends from the bottomless pit will be Abaddon and Satan.
 
Concerning the 10 horns which represent the ten kings that won't be kings until the antichrist takes over. Here's the way I see the scenario playing out and I will mix what is written in Rev.17:12-18 with my own thoughts hoping that these thoughts are indeed inspired by God.
 
I see the avatar John Paul II showing up on the world stage immediately after the rapture. As per scripture the world populous will marvel / be dumbfounder after seeing this famous world leader who was, and is not, and yet is. He will have all the answers to quell the extreme chaos that has gripped the planet due to the rapture. He will manifest all forms of lying signs and wonders from the indwelling of Satan. He will put forth a 7 year game plan to bring the planet back to peace and prosperity and the shattered world will embrace him and his plan. His command center will be the Vatican in Rome.
 
The already world powerful political arm of the RCC the Jesuits (headed by the black pope) already have the planet broken up into 10 areas. They will be pressed into service. 10 of these black pope Jesuits will be made leaders or kings over the 10 areas the world has been divided into fulfilling the prophecy in Rev.17:12. The antichrist / John Paul II will give them the power to rule in these areas and in turn they will give their complete allegiance to him. This allegiance between the parties lasts 42 months or 3 1/2 years. At this point the antichrist has consolidated his power world wide. Politically, financially, militarily, etc.
 
Remember Eph.6:12........... "we fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places"
 
The high ground of our world has already been taken over by Satan's forces. They control our media, our corrupt governments foreign and domestic, they control the banking (banksters), our entertainment ie. Hollywood and the heads of our major world wide corporations.
 
So is really a stretch to think that Satan can congeal all this under his control and rule the planet in 42 months? It should be no problem especially when you take into consideration that the righteous of the planet have already been removed in the rapture.
 
Now at the 42 month mark all hell breaks loose ....literally. As per Rev.13:6 the first beast / the antichrist / JohnPaul II / Satan declares that he is not just the eighth pope but the one and only God of the universe and to prove that he is who he claims to be he kills the two witnesses who to this point of their 42 month ministry have been unable to be harmed.(Rev.13:7) This along with his raining fire down from the sky and other assorted feats convinces most of the planet that he is God. He demands to be worshipped as such and demands that everyone take his mark on their hands or foreheads. He along with the second beast (topic for another day) terrorizes the planet for the remaining time totaling almost 7 years.
 
At some point after the antichrist declared himself to be the true God (timeframe unknown) the black pope Jesuits who now control the world for the antichrist can't handle the situation any more and turn on the harlot church headquartered in Rome and destroy Rome. (Rev.17:16 Rev.18)
 
Gerlinda, this what I see transpiring from reading these chapters. I wouldn't pour it in concrete but there is a likelihood of it happening this way.
Blessings to you and be on the lookout for an article from me in a couple of days directed at you. When I started writing this article today I got side tracked for a couple of hours on some material that I would like to share with you as an x-Catholic. When I finish it I will send it along to Doves.
