Age of the Anti-Christ

“And in the latter time of their kingdom, 
when the transgressors have reached their fullness,
a king shall arise, having fierce features, who understands sinister schemes.”
  Daniel 8:23.

Who is the Anti-Christ?

What Satan is in spirit, the Anti-Christ will be in the flesh.  The Anti-Christ will be the first human to possess the “fullness of Sin” within himself completely.  That means he will contain every Sin perfected to the human absolute.

“Little children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.”
1 John 2:18.

“Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?  He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.”  1 John 2:22. 

“... every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of GOD.  And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.”  1 John 4:3.

“For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh.  This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”  2 John 1:7.

Note these verses are speaking of 3 things:
1.  Every person who denies the GOD the Father and GOD the Son is speaking in the spirit of the Anti-Christ, and are “antichrists” themselves.
2.  The spirit of the Anti-Christ is already at work in the world, although the Anti-Christ himself has not yet been manifested.
3.  The Anti-Christ denies the incarnation of the Son of GOD.

Why does the Anti-Christ deny that Jesus has come in the flesh?  Because he will present himself as “The Christ” when he comes.  After all, how can the Anti-Christ claim he is the Christ if he acknowledges Jesus as the Christ?  In order for him to portray himself as “The Christ” he must deny the REAL Christ.  Make sense?


The Little Horn

The Anti-Christ is the “Little Horn” spoken of by the Prophet Daniel.  “And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Glorious Land.”  Daniel 8:9.  What does this mean?  A Horn represents Power.  A “little horn” means the Anti-Christ will have a lowly birth.  Like Adolf Hilter and Joseph Stalin, the Anti-Christ will be born in obscurity, and eventually rise to great fame and power, conquering all the world.  Note the Anti-Christ moves to conquer the “Glorious Land.”   The Glorious Land is Israel.  The Anti-Christ must have the support of Israel in order to prove himself the Messiah.


The Anti-Christ's Mission on Earth

What will the purpose of the Anti-Christ appearing on earth?  The Anti-Christ will be preparing the earth for Satan's full manifestation.  Remember the Physical Dimension is a composite plane of existence.  It contains both elements of Light and Darkness, the presence of GOD and the presence of Satan.  The Anti-Christ's mission will be to destroy the elements of Light and advance the elements of Darkness within the Physical Dimension until it is a perfect and complete One with the Dimension of HELL.  

That means the Anti-Christ must remove ALL traces of GOD from the earth - since the earth is the Spiritual center of the Physical Dimension.


A Sure Sign that the Anti-Christ is Here 

There is ONE sign which will leave absolutely no doubt that the Anti-Christ is among us in the flesh.  That sign is the rebuilding of the Temple of Jerusalem AND the reinstituation of the bloody sacrifices.  Why?  Because Christ's Death on the Cross put an absolute END to ALL sacrifices for ALL times.  By reinaugurating the bloody sacrifices, the Anti-Christ is showing us that Christ's sacrifice was INVALID.  

Of course the bloody sacrifices must be offered in the Temple in order for them to be “legally valid” according to the Laws of Judaism.  That means the Anti-Christ must rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem.  Therefore when you see the Temple of Jerusalem being completely restored, know that is the Anti-Christ is here.

Jesus said: “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation’ spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, standing in the Holy place ... ”  Matthew 24:15.  The ‘Abomination of Desolation’ is another name for Satan.  When you see Satan standing in the Holy Place (the Temple of Jerusalem) know that the END is here.


 The Age of Great Tribulation

Note:  the Saints of GOD do NOT undergo the Great Tribulation.  By the time the Anti-Christ appears ALL the Saints of GOD will be in Heaven.  The Great Tribulation is for the wicked only.  Daniel 8:23-25, Joel 2:2-10, and Revelation 9:6-11, speaks of the Age of the Anti-Christ, the time of the Great Tribulation, in detail. 
 
*  The Anti-Christ's time will be the “Age of the Great Tribulation” on earth.
*  The Anti-Christ's power will be absolute, awesome, and Universal, conquering EVERYTHING under the Kingdom of Heaven.
*  The Anti-Christ will have great wisdom, ability, and power.  
*  The Anti-Christ will be a Master of the Occult.  
*  The Anti-Christ will change the natural order of the Physical Dimension.
*  Every person on earth shall fear him.
*  The Anti-Christ cannot be defeated by anyone except GOD Himself.  
“... he shall be broken without human hand.”  Daniel 8:23-25.

The Anti-Christ is diabolical, fierce, merciless and ruthless, and his reign is one of absolute terror and destruction.  Read Jeremiah 50:41-42 and Isaiah 5:26-30.  Whenever the Scriptures speak of “a mighty people of the North” it is spiritually speaking of Satan, the Anti-Christ, and his Legions.  How can we be so sure?

It was Lucifer who ascended to the North.  “I will exalt my throne above the stars of GOD.  I will sit on the mount of the congregation, on the farthest sides of the North.”  Isaiah 14:13.  The North being a symbol not only of height and power, but of GOD’s elevated place in Creation.  “In His holy mountain, beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth is Mount Zion on the sides of the North.”  Psalm 48:2.


What is the Purpose of the Age of the Anti-Christ?

Why does GOD allow the “fullness of Sin” embodied in the Age of the Anti-Christ to reign upon the earth?  The reign of the Anti-Christ is a wake-up call for the wicked.  If the wicked do not choose GOD out of Love, then they will choose Him out of Fear, because the Anti-Christ is a foretaste of ALL the horrors of HELL to which they are heading.

This is called Negative Theology.  If I cannot choose GOD because of all the goodness I see in Him, then I will choose Him because of all the evil I see outside of Him.  So during the Age of the Anti-Christ the wicked are given a face to face “revelation” of who and what evil truly is.  They are also given a chance to reject evil, for the Anti-Christ will mercilessly SLAUGHTER all those who do not participate in his fullness of evil.  Thus the wicked are given a chance to be martyrs, not directly for GOD (as the Saints of GOD were) but for some element of “goodness” which they may still adhere to.  And since “goodness” is an attribute of GOD, they are linked to GOD through this, although in a indirect manner.

So what is the difference between the martyrdom of the Saints and the martyrdom of those who die at the hands of the Anti-Christ?  The Saints of GOD die as “witnesses for GOD” while those who die at the hands of the Anti-Christ die because they refuse to participate in the “fullness of evil.”  So there is a difference and yet there is a unity also, because the Saints of GOD also died because they refused to participate in the “evil” of their time.

Note: what we have here is a SHIFT in Time.  The Saints who died as “witnesses for GOD” lived in the Age of Grace.  Those who die at the hands of the Anti-Christ live in the Age of the Great Tribulation.  Evil is present in both Ages, only in the Age of Grace the evil was more subtle, cunning and hidden, while in the Great Tribulation the evil is open, far more profound, forceful and brutal.  The Age of the Anti-Christ will be horrifying beyond belief.  “Blessed are the dead who die in the LORD from now on.”  Revelation 14:13.
