Dear Lauren,

I love reading your posts!  I have always understood Daniel chapter 11 to be talking of the AC, as '11' is his number.  I have been fascinated over the questions of who is the Raiser of Taxes and who is the Vile Person.

It could not have been Bush as the Raiser of Taxes.  One of his main legacies was the so-called Bush Tax Cuts.  The potus after him, bo, is most definitely the raiser of taxes.  So then, it begs the question, just who can the Vile Person be?

I have been thinking about this question for several months and have come to a conclusion, which is my speculation only.  I have done some research and have not seen anyone else say what I am about to state, although I'm not saying that no one else has ever come up with it, just that I have not seen it.

My conclusion is that the Raiser of Taxes and the Vile Person.....are THE SAME GUY.

I think it is the same man, after he has undergone some sort of mortal head wound and 'transformation'.  Something will happen to the AC in Jerusalem.  I have recently written here that the AC cannot die outside of Jerusalem.  Jesus said: "it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem".  In order to mock Jesus, the AC has to die in Jerusalem and nowhere else.  The potus will be in Israel for 3 days (Daniel 11:20--"within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger nor in battle").

So, something happens to him in Jerusalem, a mortal wound, but he is 'resurrected' and satan enters him.  At that point he turns into the Vile Person, the full blown AC who goes after the world with a vengeance.  Although it's the same man....just transformed.  The Bible says he was destroyed neither in anger nor battle, but who knows how the lying media will portray it?  Perhaps as an assassination, who knows. 

I think he is going there to confirm Bush's Roadmap for Peace...the Two State Solution...plus the rest of whatever else is supposed to happen. 

If it isn't this trip to Jerusalem, it will be some future trip over there.  But it sure seems to line up for the upcoming time of Passover.  Most of my rapture dreams have involved snow on the ground.  We are approaching the vernal equinox, and it is still snowing where I am.

Anyway, those are my thoughts.  

YsiChrist,

Patty RP
