The End is Near

“Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in Christ Jesus.”  Colossians 1:28

 

“And I will bring distress upon men, and they shall walk like the blind, because they have sinned against Jehovah. And their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh like dung.”  Zephaniah 1:17

 

What happened to those who used to hold up signs in our big cities declaring that ‘the end is near’?  Movies on occasion used to add such things, often a ridicule to those who would be presumed to be mentally unstable.  Yet has not the Word of God proclaimed that the end will eventually come?

 

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. ”  Matthew 24:14

 

Well there are two ‘ends’ to be precise.  There is the Rapture, which is the end of the Church age and then there is the end, which is the end of the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7), better known as the Tribulation.  Even then we could argue the Millennial reign, etc., but our job as Believers is the warn people to repent and believe the Gospel. 

 

…”testifying both to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”  Acts 20:21

 

“Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has established a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has appointed. He has given assurance of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”  Acts 17:30-31

 

So here we are, in what may very well be the final last days prior to the end and very few people contemplate it.  Even the churches, whom should be warning men have refused to preach repentance, refused to purify themselves and are by and large apostate.  However, these simple facts even provide further evidence that the end is near. 

 

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unyielding, slanderers, without self-control, savage, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away.  For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning, but never able to come to the full true knowledge of the truth.  But as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also oppose the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.”  2nd Timothy 3:1-9

 

“Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), that you may remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were since the beginning of creation.”  2nd Peter 3:1-4

 

“And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:  I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot.  So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.  Because you say, I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing; and do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked; I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.  Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.  To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.  He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”  Revelation 3:14-22

 

For if preachers where still preaching about watching and being ready for the Rapture, if they were still warning men about the coming Tribulation, if they were still pointing out to the lost that eventually the Antichrist would be unveiled (after the Rapture) and that he would have a peace deal with Israel, then perhaps not many who listened would be caught off guard, but they would be able to repent and by faith believe into Jesus Christ. 

 

Men could ponder these things, they could examine themselves (2 Cor. 13:5), they could truly seek the Most High, they could become Saved.  However, just as the Bible prophesized, they will by and large be caught unprepared.

 

“But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.  For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and did not realize until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”  Matthew 24:37-39

 

I’ve asked before where the pastors are who preach such things.  Now I know that there are still some who do and I thank God for these preachers, but let us consider the times that we live in, let us consider it diligently.  For this is not a time of carelessness or fun and games, but these are indeed very serious times that may very well in fact be the times right prior to the Rapture, where Christ comes to get His bride, the Church, those individuals who have truly repented and by faith believed into Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, accepting the free gift of Salvation.

 

“For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;  not of works, that no one should boast.”  Ephesians 2:8-9

 

 

Like to hear it or not, a lot could be said and should be said about the times we are living in.  I wrote before how truth has been cast down and on a daily basis I see that.  Some news hits the headlines and one group says it isn’t true, this is the truth, another group says it isn’t true and that is the truth.  Well the only thing to say in such situations, except for the sky is blue, it is daytime, it is nighttime, is the fact that the Bible, the Word of God (assuming it is not a perversion of God’s Word, but a faithful translation like the King James version) is the ONLY ABSOLUTE TRUTH that we can be certain about in these days of darkness where men are stumbling around like the blind.

 

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”  John 8:32

 

“Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”  John 14:6

 

“The way of the wicked is as darkness; they do not know at what they stumble.”  Proverbs 4:19

 

I, like every other individual, will stand before my Creator one day.  You will either stand at the Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Cor. 5:10), where true Believers will be judged and see which of their works will not be consumed (1 Cor. 3:13-15) or you will stand at the Great White Throne Judgment, where you will be cast into the Lake of Fire for all eternity.  There is the one line that people will gladly be last in.

 

“And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heavens fled away. And there was found no place for them.  And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God. And books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, out of the things which were written in the books.  And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one, according to their works.  And Death and Hades were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death.  And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire.”  Revelation 20:11-15

 

All Will Stand is a ministry that points people towards God’s truth, preaching repentance and remission of sins and Salvation thru faith in Jesus Christ.    For, as has been pointed out regarding the following, which didn’t believe?  Was it the those who prophesied in Jesus’s name, those who cast out demons in His name or those who did many works of power in His name? 

 

“Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.  Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many works of power in Your name?  And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who work out lawlessness!”  Matthew 7:21-23

 

 

Rather I say to you it was those who ignored Jesus’s warning to repent.

 

Jesus said, “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”  Luke 13:3

 

Shall I withhold the fact that there are many oddities between COVID-19 and preparing people for the mindset to obey the government and accept the mark of the beast?  Shall I ignore that DARPA has a microchip that can be implanted coming out in 2021 that detects coronavirus?  Should I ignore that there are people pushing for immunity certificates that require a vaccine or antibody test to resume life as normal? 

 

While I am not saying that any of these things will happen for certainty or that even if they do that they will necessarily have anything to do with the mark of the beast that has been prophesized.  I am saying that they are at minimum conditioning the masses for that sort of mindset.  Think about it, being able to live normal under the guise of government permission.  In a nutshell, if a man wants to buy or sell (live normal) they will be forced to take the mark of the beast.

 

“And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, so that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.  Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.”  Revelation 13:16-18

 

As a brief reminder, those who take the mark of the beast or worship the image of the beast are doomed to eternity in the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:4).   

 

Now the same must be said regarding the things that are going on in the political theatre of this once great country (in terms of prosperity).  For a great country would be one that by and large wholeheartedly truly serves God, not in pretense, but in actuality (Jer. 3:10).

 

Should a Believer ignore God’s Word in regarding prophecies of characteristics of the Antichrist?  While it certainly is not our job to guess who the Antichrist is, nor would we even have the authority to do so, if a man is rising to power, should we then ignore it?  Should we not at least warn men that something might be going on?!  Should we not tell what God has made clear or look at a potential and tell others?  

 

“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear the Word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: When I say to the wicked, You shall die the death, and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.  Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.  Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.  Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall live life because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.”  Revelation 3:17-21

 

 

This is not about guessing who the Antichrist is, as no one could possibly know for sure prior to the Rapture, but if there is a man rising to power who is matching what the Bible says, the only certain Truth that we have, then it should at least be noted.  One, whether or not you want to, should at least acknowledge the fact that we ought to be watching and ready (Matt. 24:42-44).  If we are watching, should these things go unnoticed?

 

Why would God give characteristics of the Antichrist if they would not be useful?

 

“All Scripture is breathed by God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”  2nd Timothy 3:16-17

 

So, let’s take a look and use it.  Not to make a determination who the Antichrist is, but at least acknowledge that someone could be a suspect.  My thoughts would make no one a suspect, but the Word of God and someone who matches these qualifications would make them a suspect.  So therefore they would be a suspect based upon the Bible, based upon what God has spoken, not based upon any individual thoughts.   Men have had a lot of suspects in times past regarding who the Antichrist might be, but these were often someone who simply had a characteristic or two, normally they would be someone who somehow was associated with the number 666, but if anyone would have taken the time to examine what the Bible actually teaches, they would have realized that according to God’s Word, that person being named a suspect would have been sketchy at best.

 

Now there is a suspect, like it or not, who is rising to power and that suspect is President Donald Trump.  He is a suspect, not because I say he is a suspect, but rather because of the characteristics of the Antichrist laid out in God’s Word and the fact that he may very well match every single one of them.  Once again, let me be very careful here, as I am by no means saying that President Donald Trump is the Antichrist, what I am saying is that he MUST be a suspect because he matches the characteristics or could very well match the characteristics that could be known prior to the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7).  So according to what the Bible teaches, President Trump is a suspect.    

 

I suspect that no one at the moment of this writing will listen.  For those who are for President Trump often proclaim to be Christians and assume that President Trump is a Christian, another note on that in a moment.  Then you have those who hate President Trump, but they also hate God’s Word and therefore they would refuse to even look into such things.

 

Now, only furthering how President Trump could be a suspect, there is a long list of well known people who believe that President Trump is like the ‘son of God’, like Jesus Christ, like Moses, Elijah or one of the prophets or rather he is a man of God, being used of God. 

 

Does a man of God own casinos?  Does a man of God have relationships like he has?  Does a man of God be involved in debauchery, without repenting?  Yet President Trump would be a perfect example of a ‘man of God’ to those who are perishing in the lukewarm churches, those who go to these churches that refuse to preach repentance, who refuse to take following Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior seriously.  They refuse to be zealous for Christ, they refuse to pick up the Cross and carry on.  These are the blind leading the blind and Jesus warned about such. 

 

“Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into the ditch.”  Matthew 15:14

 

Will these not be the ones who will believe the strong delusion sent by God?  If not, which group will that be?  Certainly not the godless, as they wouldn’t match the description.

 

“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He is now restraining, until it is raised from out of the midst.  And then the lawless one will be unveiled, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.  The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”  2nd Thessalonians 2:7-12

 

In January, prior to our world becoming some sort of scene out of a sci-fi movie, I published a book entitled Repent!  How, Even if, President Trump was the Antichrist the Church Wouldn’t Know It. 

 

In that book I laid out what the Bible says about the Tribulation, the Rapture, I talked about the strong delusion sent by God and used President Trump as an example of how the Antichrist could be rising to power and the church wouldn’t know it.  Now I am going to lay out what the Bible says are characteristics of the Antichrist and point out how President Trump MUST be a suspect, because he seemingly matches every single one that could possibly be known beforehand, every single one. 

 

Before we dive into that discussion, I will discuss what I hope would happen if the end is near. 

 

Much has been said recently about potentially election mayhem.  However, I have been discussing such things privately for months prior to anyone else declaring such things recently about what could happen after the election.  Now these are just some ‘thoughts’ about what -could- happen.  I certainly don’t have any special revelation and do not know what the future holds, but if these things occurred, which is certainly plausible, I would hope that this would open a window to allow people to look behind the curtain, see that something is not right, question it and perhaps seek God with there whole heart, repent and believe into Jesus Christ as their Savior prior to the Rapture.  Though as far as I know, this article may never even get published prior to the Rapture happening. 

 

Due to having read and studied the Bible for years, I could see the possibility of God providing a last chance for people to repent.  For I strongly believe that the false church, which is predominant in the United States, will believe the lie, for God will send them strong delusion.  I don’t believe this is true with most Catholics, though also a false pagan religion, it is different as a more pagan works-based religion, one where the thoughts of Salvation are not so much as repeating a prayer and pretending to be Saved, but rather having to do with rites and rituals.   Time will tell how that works out, but by then it will be too late.

 

This election is setup to be a disaster.  I had wrote some articles years ago about whether or not everything with President Trump was a deception of biblical proportions, things just seemed off.  I have watched and carefully evaluated things that have happened in comparison to the Bible.  Now it seems that whether or not President Trump wins the next election, he is going to stay in power. 

 

The ground work, perhaps a large deception as the best deception has measures of truth to it, has been laid that even if he loses he will still win, because it will have been a fraudulent election and the courts will rule in his favor.  Without getting into what may or may not be the details of such an ordeal, one must consider that if this happens we will have a large potential problem on our hands.  Let’s also consider that President Trump is a suspect of being the Antichrist, not based upon my thinking, but, as you will see, based upon the characteristics that have been prophesized in the Bible. 

 

Now we have already had many cities with burning buildings, lootings and mass chaos, this with a pandemic that is to those who can see a sham.  While I am not going to throw the baby out with the bath water, as they say, truly the numbers show that COVID-19 is only somewhat more dangerous than the average flu.  Clearly what has happened is a government overreach of power around the world, of which I have seen abuses of power and a dystopian style government in many parts of the world, including here in the United States. 

 

Should some precautions be taken?  Sure, but not nearly at the level of which they are, our world has been turned upside down and this under President Trump’s watch.  Whether the coronavirus is manufactured in a lab or a natural event (seemingly unlikely due to some of what I have studied), makes no difference, as either way it is being used as a weapon against we the people, even against God by limited those who preach the Gospel.

 

In fact, I even have a friend who thought to start taking his family to church, but due to COVID he didn’t want to go.  Now is the time people need to be fearing God and seeking Him before it is too late.  If only pastors would take as serious the things of God as our government does this so-called pandemic! 

 

Now if President Trump does use the court system to ‘steal’ rightfully so or not the election, just how do you think the left will react given the recent ongoings in places like Portland, Oregon?  I see the headlines and it ranges from mass civil unrest to civil war. 

 

If you supposedly were always lerious of the government (rightfully so!), have you who had taken the red pill now been blue pilled?  For those who always thought martial law was coming and they were getting prepared for it (probably still do regarding the potential civil unrest), of which I am no stranger of such things, do you now listen to the pundits who are pushing Trump as the Savior of the Republic?  Do you not see?  Why are you so blind?

 

Nonetheless that blindness only furthers what I have always called the conspiracy of all conspiracies and that is that this so-called new world order is simply the Antichrist world government that is behind the scenes slowly rising to power, being held back until it is in God’s timing (2 Th. 2:7; 2 Pet. 3:9).  The ultimate conspiracy is the distraction of such things, for the same people who at least used to talk about underground tunnels, railways, FEMA camps, you name it, are now on the Trump train?!  Just where is this Trump train going?  Auschwitz?

 

The reality has never been the people verses shadow government but rather the god of this world…Satan…verses God the Creator of each of us.  The solution has already been provided by God and that solution was that Jesus died on the Cross for our sins, that we might be Saved. 

 

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  The one believing into Him is not judged; but the one not believing is judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.  For everyone practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.  But the one doing the truth comes to the Light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been worked in God.”  John 3:16-21

 

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”  Romans 5:8

 

In order to accept that free gift one must repent and by faith believe into Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, irregardless of whether or not you believe there are some, numerous or no conspiracies against we the people.  I assure you in order for the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7), better known as the Tribulation to be true, there certainly is a new world order or Antichrist government behind the scenes.

 

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies.”  Ephesians 6:12

 

So my hope, not knowing, but my hope is that if the end is near that God will allow the blind to snap out of their blindness and at least briefly consider what is going on behind the scenes.  That they might look behind the curtain and see that not is all that it seems.  Even if they don’t fully understand the Bible or know only the basics, that they would have an opportunity to be able to repent before it is too late.  For many people proclaim the name of Christ in this country, but few of them are actually Saved.

 

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many entering in through it.  Because narrow is the gate and distressing is the way which leads unto life, and there are few who find it.  Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.  You will know them from their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?  Even so, every good tree produces excellent fruit, but a corrupt tree produces evil fruit.  A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit, nor is a corrupt tree able to produce excellent fruit.  Every tree that does not produce excellent fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.  Therefore from their fruits you will know them.  Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.  Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many works of power in Your name?  And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who work out lawlessness!”  Matthew 7:13-23

 

So if this country descends further into chaos and the Rapture hasn’t yet happened, the only logical response would be for President Trump to declare hot martial law via the Insurrection Act.  He has already threatened to use that old legislation that is still on the books.  Now I say this not in support because I believe based on the Bible that President Trump is a suspect to being the Antichrist. 

 

Therefore, I know that the Antichrist will be the biggest deceiver that has ever lived.  If that is the case then certainly this whole thing will have been a deception of biblical proportions and President Trump will have unleashed a genius plot (another characteristic Da. 8:23) of dividing the country and will likely manage to maintain overall support even during a martial law scenario as his supporters will believe he is fighting the deep state and trying to restore America (of which he would still probably be successful in doing so).  Likely there would be numerous deaths at first, but afterwards when martial law hit eventually order and prosperity (perhaps via payments from the FEDCoin they are trying to pass). 

 

Have we not been prepped for martial law?  Have we not now been conditioned to accept travel restrictions, personal liberty restrictions, etc.?  Why?  Do we not, at least to a logical person, have the evidence that it was total overkill in the supposed fight against COVID?

 

If, at my last check, 43% of all deaths from COVID were in nursing or assistance living homes, then why was the advice and warning that I offered months ago regarding this not thought of by our elected leaders, some of who became mini-dictators?  That advice was simple.  As it was known early on that COVID caused a much higher rate of death in our elderly people than younger, why not have used the National Guard to provide all of the nursing and care for people in these homes?

 

These trained soldiers could have been assigned active duty providing assistance and care for those who were most at high risk.  There could have been RV’s or tents put up for them, food provided as they lived on site, not leaving, so that the risk of infection would have been minimal, compared to the nurses and other workers who worked a shift, had a possibility of getting infected and then returned to work, possibly bringing COVID with them. 

 

Those workers could have been laid off and given full pay, providing only a minimal impact on the economy and saving numerous lives.  After all we were told this was about saving lives, what about that!!!  Instead numerous small business owners went out of business, spent thousands on nonsense, many tens of millions of people were laid off.  Suicides skyrocketed and drug & alcohol abuse went through the roof.  What type of dystopia do we live in?

 

Now the worse, unless those behind the scenes want to tell us that it mixed with the influenza and is now more deadly or a new more deadly strain is released on the public, the worse should be behind us…though I don’t count on it.  Even in Australia they are treating people as if it is Nazi Germany in order to help stop the ‘spread’ and keep people safe.  Last I checked, the amount of government overreach there is so out of touch with reality, it was saddening.  Same could be said in many countries around the world.

 

So, if the end is near, the normalcy of our life is probably not ever going to return to a complete normal, in fact it will just become more and more bizarre.  I wonder if this is the lie that is spoken about in 2 Thessalonians 2:11, considering the blind supporters of Trump who chose to ignore the obvious red flag of the Israel peace plan that he is making huge progress on, a sure sign and probably the best that was given as a guaranteed suspect of someone being the Antichrist…more on that in a bit.

 

Perhaps if the nation goes into more chaos, people will get a peek behind the curtain and their willful or purposeful (2 Cor. 4:3-4) blindness will allow them a brief chance to repent and accept Christ as their Savior.  Most people believe in Jesus, they believe they are Saved, but they have refused to repent.

 

Could this be the reason our government is trying to pass legislation that would allow direct payments from the Federal Reserve via some bond scheme to American’s bank accounts.  Are things justifiably that bad at the moment or is it as Mike Pompeo said, a live exercise, indicating that worse is yet to come.  Pompeo stated the following:

 

“We will continue to fight these battles, it is a never ending struggle… until the Rapture.”

 

“As a Christian I certainly believe that’s possible,” Pompeo responded when asked whether Trump is a new Esther, who in the Bible convinced the king of Persia not to slaughter the Jewish people.” — TheHill.com 3/21/19        

 

Now let’s take a look once more at the Antichrist characteristics that the Bible says and align why President Trump must be a suspect for being the Antichrist.  This is not to discourage support of President Trump, but Believers should at least be aware of the facts, be watching and ready, not ignorant of the fact that the end may be near.

 

“He shall not regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women; nor regard any god. For he shall magnify himself above them all.”  Daniel 11:37

 

In another article, that was compiled into the book Repent; How, Even if, President Trump was the Antichrist the Church Wouldn’t Know It, I go over the fact that I think people who assume the Antichrist must be gay are mistaken.  What should be mentioned here is the “God of his fathers” which would indicate that the Antichrist must be Jewish.

 

President Trump’s parents both died at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center.  In fact in Donald Trump’s book The Art of the Deal he claims that his grandfather was from Sweden, in fact he was from Germany.  His father, Fred Christ Trump was well known for being heavily involved in Jewish circles, as well as advisors to Donald Trump, like Roy Cohn.

 

Digging through President Trump’s genealogy one finds that there are numerous Jewish surnames.  In fact a lot of these details have been scrubbed, including a once reference to his parents dying at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center.  There is ample evidence to prove that President Trump likely has a Jewish lineage.  In fact, many rabbis in Israel also think so.

 

My friend and the other person behind the All Will Stand ministry did some research.  He found that many rabbis thought President Trump might be the Messiah or at least paving the way for the Messiah.  (Their thoughts are the Messiah is simply a political leader who restores Israel to it’s rightful place, not as Americans think in regards to the Antichrist.)  In fact a group of prominent rabbis traveled to Europe because they believe they could trace President Trump’s lineage to king David.  What they found was never made known.

 

So why is this important?  Like President Trump, I also have lineage connecting myself to the tribe of Judah from the diaspora in Germany.  In fact, when I researched my genealogy I found that many of the great-great names of the past were Enoch, etc., all Jewish biblical names.  That all changed quickly, once my family integrated in the United States.  However, there is a large anti-Semitic movement around the world.

 

Just mentioning that it appears that President Trump is our first Jewish President, will get people asking if you don’t like Jews.  Certainly that is not the case, as I love the Jewish people, as God’s chosen people (Duet. 7:6).  Though I am not ignorant of the things that go on behind the scenes.  I have seen the Freemasonry symbolism of the Knesset and it is quite obvious, just like the occultic symbolism that is riddled throughout famous landmarks in the United States as well.

 

So why does this matter?  The unfortunate truth is a lot of the patriotic movement who see a conspiracy in many things, also believe that the Jews are behind these conspiracies.  In fact this viewpoint is even more prevalent in Europe than in the United States.  They point to Hollywood, the banking industry, etc., all being controlled by Jews and they also believe that the elite are Jewish or crypto-Jews.  So they have a distrust of the Jewish people.

 

So even if certain Jewish people are behind such things as the Federal Reserve scheme, that doesn’t neglect them from being God’s chosen people.  In fact “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7), better known as the Tribulation, is about the restoration of the Jewish people.  In the end they will realize that Jesus is their Messiah and God will restore them giving them new hearts.

 

“And I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and supplication. And they shall look on Me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they shall be bitter over Him, like the bitterness over the firstborn.”  Zechariah 12:10

 

“Furthermore He said to me, Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, to make Me go far away from My sanctuary? Now turn again, you will see greater abominations.  So He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.  Then He said to me, Son of man, dig into the wall; and when I dug into the wall, there was an opening.  And He said to me, Go in, and see the evil abominations which they do there.  So I went in and saw; and behold, every sort of creeping thing, abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, carved all around on the wall.  And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in their midst stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan. Each man had a censer in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense went up.  Then He said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the room of his idols? For they say, Jehovah does not see us, Jehovah has forsaken the land.  And He said to me, Turn again, and you will see greater abominations that they are doing.  So He brought me to the door of the north gate of the house of Jehovah; and behold, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.  Then He said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Turn again, you will see greater abominations than these.  So He brought me into the inner court of the house of Jehovah; and behold, at the door of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of Jehovah and their faces toward the east, and they were bowing down to the sun toward the east.  And He said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence; then they have returned to provoke Me to anger. Indeed they put the branch to their nose.  Therefore I also will act in fury. My eye will not spare nor will I have pity; and though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.”  Ezekiel 8:6-18

 

“I will also give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.”  Ezekiel 36:26

 

What is odd is that the mainstream media who has dug up every single piece of dirt on President Trump that they could, somehow can not find out that he is also likely Jewish.  Now with all of the anti-Semitism that is out there in the world, it would seem very hard for President Trump to have the full support of the patriots in this country or be well liked throughout Europe if it was known that he was Jewish.  Yet in Israel President Trump is absolutely loved and respected.

 

This would seemingly pave the way to allow President Trump, if he were the Antichrist, to be known as Jewish to the inner circles of Israel’s leaders and important religious people, the only people who would matter if they ended up declaring him the Messiah.  This would also prevent those who would be suspicious of such things in other parts of the world, including the United States from withdrawing full support of President Trump being the leader of the movement to go after the elite and deep state.

 

Now prior to President Trump, famous talk show hosts and internet news outlets that provided non-stop news coverage about a conspiracy against the American people, including martial law, taking away our guns, etc., have now become nonstop Trump train peddlers. 

 

Despite the fact that President Trump’s comments helped to cause red flag laws and that he may very well use the Insurrection Act (hot martial law) after a contested election, this doesn’t even raise an eyebrow in the Trump supporting circles.  More could be said, as how the NAFTA replacement is essentially the same as NAFTA, but seemingly President Trump can do no wrong.

 

Just as President Trump had tear gas and rubber bullets used outside of St. John’s Church in Washington, D.C., so that he could take a quick picture holding up a Bible, those who call themselves Christians are seemingly blind to any possibility that he could potentially be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.  Everything that was ever warned about by the alternative media in regarding a conspiracy against the American people is now null and void with President Trump in power.  His constituents trust him and quite obviously the left has gone so far that they have no choice but to vote for him.

 

So the fact that it appears that President Trump is our first Jewish President does not make him a suspect for being the Antichrist, though the lack of public knowledge regarding such things certainly does raise an eyebrow.  Looking at biblical prophecy, what must make him a suspect is the fact that he is working on a peace deal with Israel.  When you add in the Jewish prospect, that makes it even the more interesting.

 

“And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. And in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the grain offering to cease. And on a corner will be abominations that cause horror, even until the end. And that which was decreed shall be poured out on the desolate.”  Daniel 9:27

 

Only the first part of this verse “And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week.” can be used to provide evidence of someone being an Antichrist suspect.  The rest of it will not be fulfilled until after the Rapture has happened and the world has been plunged into the Tribulation.

 

Now the Bible has laid out this as one of the characteristics of knowing who the Antichrist is.  This is not to suggest that who the Antichrist is would be known before the Rapture, for quite clearly the Bible teaches otherwise.

 

“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is unveiled, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is honored, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, declaring of himself that he is God.  Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?  And now you know what is restraining, that he may be unveiled in his own time.  For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He is now restraining, until it is raised from out of the midst.  And then the lawless one will be unveiled, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.”  2nd Thessalonians 2:3-8

 

Yet there will rise a man who is the Antichrist and one of the things that he WILL do is have a peace treaty with Israel.  So by definition, anyone who is working on a peace deal with Israel, whether Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump, must be a suspect.  This is not according to my thoughts, but what the Bible has clearly prophesied.  The Bible would list that person as a suspect.

 

Now no one would know if this is the peace deal that is the one prophesied in the Bible or simply a different deal.  As I cautioned previously, people also ought not to take and watch this deal assuming that they can postpone seeking God after they see evidence of the Bible being true.  (As if there wasn’t ample evidence everywhere one looks, they refuse to have ‘eyes that see’.!)  For past deals were done in secret prior and then unveiled to the public afterwards for a ceremony.  The President Clinton deal is an example of that.

 

When you consider President Trump’s wild support from Israel, it only adds to the fact that he being a suspect should be taken seriously, regardless of the Trump train mentality. 

 

…”the Jewish people love [Trump] … like he’s the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God.”  — Wayne Allyn Root     

 

President Trump has commented about the importance of an Israeli peace plan.

 

 “We want to create peace between Israel and the Palestinians. We will get it done,” Trump said. “We will be working so hard to get it done. I think there is a very good chance and I think we will.”  — President Trump

 

“It is something that I think is frankly, maybe, not as difficult as people have thought over the years.”  — President Trump

 

“That’s the ultimate deal,” Trump said. “As a deal maker, I’d like to do … the deal that can’t be made. And do it for humanity’s sake.”  — President Trump

 

“I’ve had a lot of, actually, great Israeli businesspeople tell me, you can’t do that, it’s impossible,” Trump said. “I disagree, I think you can make peace. I think people are tired now of being shot, killed. At some point, when do they come? I think we can do that. I have reason to believe I can do that.”  — President Trump

 

President Trump refers to the Israeli peace deal as the “deal of the century”.  Now a lot of people have tried to make a lasting peace deal with Israel and have all failed.  Yet people who have tried before have been immediately accused of being the Antichrist, President Clinton is a prime example of this.

 

There were a ton of so-called evangelical christians who didn’t just name President Clinton as a suspect to being the Antichrist, but flat out said that he was the Antichrist because of a peace deal that he had reached with Israel.  In fact a lot went even further and stretched the six year peace deal that was inked to a seven year deal, calling it ‘the peace deal’ and stating that we were in the Tribulation, based upon the false notion that the Rapture happens at the end of the Tribulation. 

 

This was back in 2000 and it is quite obvious that the Tribulation did not happen, yet there were many loud mouths who were proclaiming that the Tribulation had started, despite the fact that the ‘starting gun’ the Rapture did not occur. 

 

Numerous people went around on a then newer notion of the internet proclaiming that Bill Clinton was the Antichrist.  Well he isn’t and was not.  If he were, the Rapture would have happened and the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7) would have began.  This was back in the era of the Left Behind movie and book popularizing the notion of a Rapture and Tribulation to come. 

 

Then Churches would still preach on such things, but when the year 2000 came they seemed to give up.

 

“Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), that you may remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,  knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were since the beginning of creation.  For of this they are willfully ignorant: that by the Word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.  But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same Word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.  But, beloved, do not be unaware of this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is longsuffering toward us, not purposing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with intense burning; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.”  2nd Peter 3:1-10

 

Apparently the year 2000 and going off of these verses:

 

“But, beloved, do not be unaware of this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”  2nd Peter 3:8

“After two days He will restore us to life. In the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His presence.”  Hosea 6:2

 

However, obviously the date is not the same as we think.  All of these things will happen in God’s timing, not man’s supposed understanding of such things.  Now fast forward to 2020 and a lot has changed.

 

Now Churches, even independent fundamental Baptist Churches, rarely talk about such things, despite the fact that we are to be watching and ready.

 

“Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord comes.  But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be dug through.  Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man comes at an hour you do not expect.”  Matthew 24:42-44

 

Have they given up?  Has the notion become unpopular and unbelievable?  What has happened? 

 

Certainly the apostasy is in full bloom, one of the reasons that these things are happening, but shouldn’t a peace deal being worked on by President Trump, a man who gets things done, the basis for his popularity, be noted by those who are preaching from the pulpits?

 

Do we ignore now what the Bible teaches regarding a peace deal with Israel and the Antichrist, just because President Trump is popular and considered a man of God or a man used by God?  Do we ignore a clear prophecy regarding the Antichrist just because the Democrats are so bad, Trump must be good?  Do we ignore the fact that even if we fully support our ‘christian’ President who is supposedly working on behalf of God and fighting the evil, that he also is matching a description of the Antichrist, one that does make him a suspect of being the Antichrist, based from the Bible, not from private opinion?  I think we should not, I think it should be at least noted.

 

A certain amount of skepticism about the world in which we live and our popular leader, President Trump, should remain as he is a suspect for being the Antichrist, due to the possibility that he will achieve a peace deal with Israel and that could be the deal that is prophesied in the Bible.  We MUST remember this and not fully trust him, even if we support him.  For to ignore such a fact is certainly evidence of not ‘watching and being ready’. 

 

When I was considering these things, I noted that the verse actually says “And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week.”  Let’s take a quick look at that.

 

President Clinton’s treaty was essentially just between Israel and the so-called Palestine people.  Yet the Bible clearly states that not only is the peace deal for seven years (one week), but is it with many. 

 

President Trump says that 7-9 countries are involved with his peace deal with Israel, for those who believe the Bible, one should take note.  Not only is President Trump trying to get a peace deal with Israel, but with 7-9 countries the fact that the ‘covenant’ is with many only adds to the reasons that he must be a suspect of being the Antichrist.

 

In fact when the recent recognition of Israel from the United Arab Emirates, President Trump was nominated for a Nobel Peace prize.  This is how amazing it was that he was able to pull off such an unimaginable thing in the Middle East. 

 

Consider that President Trump pulled out of the Iran deal.  Now Iran has been working even harder on producing nuclear weapons, threatening not only Israel, but the entire power structure of the Middle East.  Could it be that President Trump pulled out of that deal, not because it was necessarily a bad deal, but in order to force other countries to get onboard of his peace deal???  Could he be using the mutual threat of Iran against other countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE as leverage, selling them weapons and technology in exchange for peace with Israel??? 

 

Recently Sudan accused the United States of adding another term before they can be removed from the terror watchlist of countries.  While Sudan was apparently working hard to ensure they met the requirements to be removed from such a designation, now the only requirement is to make peace with Israel, something that originally was not included.  This is their accusation against our country.  So the theory that the Iran deal removal might be being used a leverage is not so far fetched.

 

Whether or not President Trump gets reelected or if the peace deal proceeds or if this is the peace deal that is prophesied in the Bible makes little difference.  Until these things are known, as long as there is a realistic prospect for peace and I think that Trump supporters could agree that Trump gets stuff done, there will remain the fact that President Trump must be a suspect of being the Antichrist, whether or not one wants to acknowledge that.

 

Let me simply add here as another reminder, as I have done in both the book and the articles that are available on All Will Stand’s website, I am NOT saying that President Trump is the Antichrist, no one can say that.  What I am simply saying is that President Trump must be a suspect, not based upon any personal opinion, but based upon what the Bible prophesizes about the coming Antichrist.  Simply put, one thing we can know beforehand is that the Antichrist will be working on a peace deal and be involved in that peace deal — that is a fact.  Therefore anyone involved with such things, irregardless, must be a suspect.  How much more so for those who are likely Jewish, popular and seemingly matching potentially every single characteristic that the Bible lays out regarding the Antichrist?

 

In closing this article, which I would consider to be an additional chapter to the book, I am going to look at one more characteristic.  A few were mentioned in the book and quotes were given.  A lot of these I will not go into detail, because I can’t.  No one is going to fully know what they mean until during the Tribulation and at that point if you were Left Behind, you were Left Behind.

 

The time to ensure that you are right with God, that you have truly repented and by faith believed into Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is now. 

 

“And also through his cunning he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand.”  Daniel 8:25a

 

One characteristic of the Antichrist is that he will be a deceiver.  In fact there will never have been a man who is a greater deceiver than he is, because his power comes from Satan, who is the father of lies (John 8:44).

 

Not only is the Antichrist a deceiver but “he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand”.  This is serious, not only is he deceiving but his deception works.  I had wrote an article called Truth Cast Down, another characteristic of the Antichrist (Da. 8:25).  I can only point to President Trump calling everything fake news, etc., as even further reason to take him being a suspect seriously.  So what does this mean?

 

What this means is that even if President Trump were the Antichrist, people are not going to see it.  For if the Antichrist is able to cause deceit to prosper in his hand, this means that his followers are going to believe his lies.  In my opinion, this is exactly what I see having happened and how I see that people could believe the ‘strong delusion’ (2 Thes. 2:11) that God sends them, essentially believing the lie. 

 

Now I certainly can not know these things for sure and neither can anyone else.  The world will be caught off guard when the Rapture happens and whoever the Antichrist may be will have been able to have deceit prosper in his hand, essentially people will believe his deception.  This only adds to the equation.

 

Now, it is not our job to determine who the Antichrist is, but I think it is reasonable to remind people of how serious of a time this is in the world’s history.  I think it is important that we are ‘watching and ready’ and that those who are doing the Lord’s work be found so doing when He comes.

 

“Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.”  Matthew 24:46

 

Nonetheless for those naysayers who say such a thing should not be said, I hope you are not one of the many churches, including Baptist, who are holding mini-rallies during your preaching.  For if you do not like this preaching of pointing this out and you say that our focus should not be on this (I agree), but you also tell your congregation in a few less words than actually saying to vote for Trump, I would also tell you the same, our focus shouldn’t be on politics.  So do not have two sets of standards. 

 

“Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judges, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.”  Romans 2:1

 

Then again if one were to study exactly what the Two Witnesses do during the Tribulation it should be abundantly clear that most do not believe them until after they are killed and resurrected.

 

“And I will give to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.  These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth.  And if anyone tries to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone tries to harm them, he must be killed in this manner.  These have authority to shut the heavens, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have authority over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.  And when they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.  And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.  And those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three and a half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.  And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.  And after three and a half days the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet, and great terror fell on those who saw them.  And they heard a loud voice out of Heaven saying to them, Come up here. And they ascended towards Heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.”  Revelation 11:3-12

 

What, aside from telling people to repent, do you think they are going to be talking about.  Most likely they will be telling people that they are in the Tribulation and that would include naming with authority given by God who the Antichrist is.  So if it were that obvious during the first half of the Tribulation who the Antichrist was, there would be no reason for people not to believe whatever they were speaking.  Just what exactly that means and thoughts on that I will keep to myself.  Just do not be the one who finds out in person on the earth, but rather find yourself having been Raptured, watching these things unfold with Christ. 

 

Amen!
