Welcome to Thus Says the Prophets!

Meet the Antichrist

Part 3 of 4

Continued from Part Two

Master Y'shua warned that, "...When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet..." and so we know that this will be a specific event one could witness rather than metaphor or esoteric symbolism.

The Abomination of Desolation

This defining act of evil, this "abomination of desolation" is another of the major signs that the End of the Age is near. It therefore behooves us to invest a bit of time to understand this somewhat cryptic warning of both Prophet Daniel and Master Y'shua. As we will soon see, other prophets warn of this dark event as well!

One short-term minority interpretation of this event happening in Master Y'shua's generation would have been the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. Roman officers entered and sacked the Holy Temple before destroying it. Yet that desecration by the Roman Legions does not match with what Daniel saw nor does it fit the prophetic time line offered by the master teacher Y'shua.

One traditional Jewish commentary says Daniel's prophecy applies to Cyrus and Alexander Yannai, but again I don't see the evidence for such an interpretation and even if such exists, we have already seen that there is sometimes more than a single correct interpretation to divine revelations, one being immediate, the other far off as if a shadow of the main fulfillment. Also, according to Master Y'shua, its fulfillment was yet future at his point in time. Jews do not accept the teachings of Prophet Y'shua of course but for those of us who do, we understand the fulfillment of this prophecy to be yet in the future.

One reason this is important to our study is that according to the New Testament Prophets it will be the Little Horn or Antichrist that will perform this horrendous desecration as we will see below.

The Antichrist is described in verse 27 and his appearance is yet future. As we approach his appearance, HaShem will make his identity clear to people of faith through the scriptures and through His End Times prophets:

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Some things have been understood throughout the long history of Israel, however others have been concealed, only to be revealed in the End of Days:

Daniel 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

Much prophetic understanding is only now becoming clear.

The Last Seven Years of this Age

According to the prophets, the final seven years of the age will be like none other in human history. The prophets have a lot of information about this seven year period and the thousand years that will follow it.

Prophet Daniel was told these things by the angel Gabriel who is the principal source of all such prophetic information (9:20-23). It was further explained that:

Daniel 9:27: And he [the Little Horn or Rex Mundi] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

This week (seven days) is the seven year Tribulation period ("a day for a year" or one week – Ezek. 4:6; Num. 14:34 and so on).

Without the New Testament to guide us, it would be difficult to understand the meaning of these things. And yet even with the New Testament it was not clear what the Mark would be, how it would be possible everyone on earth from buying or selling, how the entire world could witness the resurrection of the Antichrist as it occurs and so now. Today we understand these things as our predecessors could not. Prophetic revelations are often revealed dispensationally as their fulfillment approaches. When we return to Paul's revelation about the Antichrist however, everything becomes clear:

II Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first [Rev 3:15-], and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition...

We discussed the Great Falling Away above.

This Son of Perdition is the Antichrist, the Little Horn referenced by John who will commit the abomination of desolation. Compare what Paul tells us with what we read in Daniel 9:27 above.

II Thess. 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

As we learned at Daniel 9:27 this Son of Perdition will sign a contact or treaty between Israel and its enemies for seven years ("a day for a year" or one week – Ezek. 4:6; Num. 14:34 and so on), but "in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease." The Son of Perdition, the Antichrist, will violate the terms of the treaty by committing the abomination of desolation and turn against Israel with a vengeance unlike anything the world has ever seen. This is confirmed by Master Y'shua:

Matt. 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Prophet Jeremiah speaks of this terrible time as well:

Jeremiah 31:15 Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
16 Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.

This unprecedented time of sorrow was foreshadowed by the likes of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi regime however what will soon befall the earth will be far worse than even those dark days.

Paul here gives us an important clue to recognizing the Rex Mundi as he ascends his throne:

The Son of Perdition will enter the yet to be rebuilt Jerusalem Temple and perform the abomination spoken of by Prophet Daniel. The scripture tells us that "as God [he] sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." For those who are watching, his identity will doubtless be clear before this event, but for those still unsure at that point, this will make it clear. Another sign given here and elsewhere is the rebuilding of the Temple. Once this happens those who know the prophecies should be certain the End of the Age is about to begin.

According to conservative Christian sources, Paul wrote his second letter to the Thessalonians around 51 CE, twenty years before the destruction of the Jerusalem temple. The more liberal and generally accepted view dates the book to 75-90 CE, after the destruction of the Temple. In either case, Paul would doubtless have been aware of Master Y'shua's prediction that the temple would soon be destroyed (Matthew 24:2).

There are many who believe that Paul and his contemporaries expected Master Y'shua to return in their lifetime and establish the Kingdom. I don't think the case is clear on this question either way. However, it seems most likely to me that considering that Paul wrote this letter to prepare his readers for a long struggle, whether or not the Temple was then standing, Paul would have been aware that it would be destroyed as per the Master's prophecies. That being the case, he also would have known that the Temple would be rebuilt, as per Isaiah's prophecies. Considering the strained relations between the Romans and the Jews at the time he surely would have viewed this happening any time soon as very unlikely. If this writing to the Thessalonian Believers comes from circa 75-90 CE he obviously knew it would be rebuilt a third time (Micah 3:12; Isa 4:6) and the case is that much stronger. This is an interesting consideration, but the point here is that since the Temple was destroyed nearly 2000 years ago, we today know that it must be rebuilt. Until it is, the Son of Perdition will not be able to fulfill his foretold desecration.

So then the natural question arises, by whom, how and when will the Third Temple be built?

From 70 CE onward Jews have prayed for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple. Devout Jews pray for this thrice daily. Once rebuilt, most Orthodox Jews expect the korbanot or sacrificial rites prescribed in the Torah to be re-instituted. But who can build the new Temple? Traditionally Jews have maintained that only the Moshiach can build the Third Temple and re-institute the sacrifices.

Of this the great Torah scholar Maimonides writes:

The anointed King [i.e. the Moshiach] is destined to stand up and restore the Davidic Kingdom to its antiquity, to the first sovereignty. He will build the Temple in Jerusalem and gather the strayed ones of Israel together. All laws will return in his days as they were before: Sacrificial offerings are offered and the Sabbatical years and Jubilees are kept, according to all its precepts that are mentioned in the Torah. Whoever does not believe in him, or whoever does not wait for his coming, not only does he defy the other prophets, but also the Torah and Moses our teacher. For the Torah testifies about him, thus: "And the Lord Your God will return your returned ones and will show you mercy and will return and gather you... If your strayed one shall be at the edge of Heaven... And He shall bring you" etc. (Deuteronomy 30:3-5).

Since the prophets show that most Jews, Christians and others will accept the Rex Mundi as Moshiach (Messiah), understanding what is expected of the true Moshiach will fill in the blanks of what the false one will have to do.

As I mentioned before, the Moshiach must be Jewish because only a devout Jew would be accepted as Moshiach by the Jews. Here Maimonides himself confirms this. If the prophecies of both the Hebrew and Christian prophets are correct -- and I'm convinced they are and will be -- the man accepted by the Jews as Moshiach will rebuild the Temple. That same leader will, about three and a half years later, commit the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel, Y'shua, Paul and John.

We see then that this coming Son of Perdition will build the Third Temple and that that act will, for a time, be accepted as partial evidence that is the promised Moshiach. The rebuilding of the Temple will doubtless be part of his treaty with Israel referenced by various prophets at the End of Days. Since the Rambam (Maimonides) clearly states here that Moshiach will rebuild the Temple and bring peace to Israel, when this coming ruler accomplishes these tasks it will be only natural for the Jews to accept him as their long awaited king and national redeemer.

John 5:43 I [Y'shua] am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

The vast majority of Christians believe Master Y'shua was the Messiah even though he failed to fulfill several of the key scriptural requirements. While it is admitted by scripturally knowledgeable Christians that the Master did not fulfill these requirements, they believe he will return and fulfill them at a later date, at the End of Days. I discuss this at my Noahide Nazarene site in some detail. This failure to fulfill the essential messianic prophecies, coupled with Y'shua's rejection of the Oral Torah which had become Judaism's main source of doctrine by his day, is the main reason he was rejected by the leaders of Israel and impaled.

The coming global leader will have to convince the Jews (and Christians) that he has or is fulfilling these prophecies. If he does not, the Jews would surely reject him as well. It therefore behooves us to consider the following biblical messianic requirements (borrowed from wikipedia.com):

The Sanhedrin will be re-established in an independent Israel (Isaiah 1:26) -- [Fulfilled October 2004]
Once he is King, leaders of other nations will look to him for guidance. (Isaiah 2:4)
The whole world will worship the One God of Israel (Isaiah 2:17)
He will be descended from King David (Isaiah 11:1) via King Solomon (1 Chron. 22:8-10)
The Moshiach [Messiah] will be a man of this world, an observant Jew with "fear of God" (Isaiah 11:2)
Evil and tyranny will not be able to stand before his leadership (Isaiah 11:4)
Knowledge of God will fill the world (Isaiah 11:9)
He will include and attract people from all cultures and nations (Isaiah 11:10)
All Jews will be returned to their homeland (Isaiah 11:12)
He will swallow up death forever (Isaiah 25:8)
There will be no more hunger or illness, and death will cease (Isaiah 25:8)
All of the dead will rise again (Isaiah 26:19)
The Jewish people will experience eternal joy and gladness (Isaiah 51:11)
He will be a messenger of peace (Isaiah 52:7)
Nations will end up recognizing the wrongs they did Israel (Isaiah 52:13-53:5)
For My House shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations (Isaiah 56:3-7)
The peoples of the world will turn to the Jews for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23)
The ruined cities of Israel will be restored (Ezekiel 16:55)
Weapons of war will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9)
The Temple will be rebuilt (Ezekiel 40) resuming many of the suspended mitzvos
He will then perfect the entire world to serve God together, as it is written (Zephaniah 3:9)
Jews will know the Torah without Study (Jeremiah 31:33)
He will give you all the desires of your heart (Psalms 37:4)
He will take the barren land and make it abundant and fruitful (Isaiah 51:3, Amos 9:13-15, Ezekiel 36:29-30, Isaiah 11:6-9)

Now obviously some of these things will not be seen during the reign of the Son of Perdition. For instance, he will not be able to "swallow up death forever." However, even these more incredible prophetic requirements will seem to be just around the corner with the incredible advances of technology as the Rex Mundi consolidates his power over the earth.

The Temple Rebuilt

As stated earlier, this leader will have "...a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies..." It will be through his personal charisma, diplomacy and the enacting of treatise that he will come to power. During a time of great international chaos and fear, he appear to be the voice of reason, the bringer of peace:

I Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

We can now understand that the Antichrist will be a political ruler who will use religion as a tool. He will proclaim himself the Messiah, the Madhi, Lord Kalki, Maitreya and so on. Most people will accept him as the World Teacher. He will be a great unifier of humanity and be widely accepted in this role by much of the world. Rex Mundi will solve the diverse global and regional crises and establish a time of global peace and security. He will not only defend Israel, he will promote Judaism as a religion deserving of respect even as his own Secular Humanist religion establishes the Universal Church led by the False Prophet.

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

It will be this False Prophet who will lead Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus and others into the Universal Secular Humanist Church. The head of that church will be the Rex Mundi. And the False Prophet will lead them.

Judaism has never been a missionary religion like Christianity and Islam. Jews believe Judaism is only applicable for Jews and that others who honestly practice their own religions will be accepted according to their faith by HaShem's mercy. According to the Torah, Judaism is for the Jewish people to enable them to serve HaShem and bless the planet.

The Rex Mundi will publicly honor this view and hence Orthodox rabbis will accept him and he will rebuild the Jerusalem Temple. As time goes by they will come to question his wisdom and his sincerity until finally they will reject him as Moshiach after he commits the abomination of desolation.

Once this rejection happens, the Rex Mundi will turn on the Jews as one betrayed and order their global genocide. At the same time he will order the death of everyone who rejects his authority and his grip on the planet will begin to falter.

The treaty the Antichrist signs with Israel will be for seven years, which is a relatively short duration as such things go. It does not necessarily follow that the Antichrist will only be on the scene for this amount of time. Although his administration will be short lived, it will doubtless be developed over a period of years prior to the signing of this treaty.

Once the third Temple is in place and once the peace treaty is ratified and signed, the grace period enjoyed by the Antichrist will last a mere three and half years. By the time this forty-two month period is completed, the Jew will turn against the Antichrist due to his fragrant violations of the Torah and the Antichrist will then turn against Israel and the Jewish people.

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

This is the second forty-two months following the signing of the treaty. This will begin when the Antichrist willfully profanes the new Jerusalem Temple causing the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel the prophet.

As we've seen before, many of the prophecies have dual meanings. The following is literally concerning the man Antiochus Epiphanes, the Syrian king who did such harm to Israel. In Daniel's prophecies this king clearly typifies the Antichrist's reign of Israel:

Dan. 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

Verses 3-20 of this chapter gives a prophetic overview of the third beast (i.e. Greece) especially with regard to Syria and Egypt that directly impacted Eretz Israel unto the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes. It then describes his abuses (verses 21-35). At this point, the information leaps forward to Daniel's main interest, the end of the Gentile Times. Then, beginning in verse 36, Daniel narrates events of the Last Days. In this, Antiochus Epiphanes is presented as a shadow of the coming king, the Little Horn of 7:8, here referred to as willful king. That this is not Antiochus Epiphanes but the future enemy of Israel in the last days is confirmed by verse 40: "...And at the time of the end..."

Dan 11:6 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

These verses coincide perfectly with what we know of the coming Antichrist.

It is also noteworthy that pans are now underway to divide the Holy City and give its eastern section to the Islamic Ummah.

We also know that Antiochus Epiphanes sacrificed a sow on the alter of Jerusalem Temple and that the Antichrist will perform an act so abhorrent within the Temple of God that it will cause God to leave it desolate (Dan. 9:27). It is therefore assumed that like Antiochus Epiphanes, the Antichrist will sacrifice a sow on the alter of the Third Temple in an act of open ridicule for Judaism. This act will likely be the final straw that causes the Jews to rebel against him.

The Rex Mundi will obviously be Jewish and hence "the God of his fathers" will be HaShem of Israel whom his family worshiped but whom he will reject. At this point the Son of perdition will openly reject the God of Israel and proclaim his allegiance to a god previously unknown to them.

This god will be Lucifer. The god of the Bavarian Illuminati.

Neither the Torah nor the Tanakh accepts the idea that the God of Israel might take upon himself physical form. This idea is held by Nicean Christianity however and the Son of Perdition is referred to as the Antichrist. Now we see that he will proclaim not only his own divinity but also the worship of a god unknown to the Jews (a god his fathers did not know). The identity of this god is not revealed to us in the biblical prophecies directly, but we can see the relationship of the Son of the Perdition to this god. The False Prophet will explain that the god of the Universal Church is the totality of God, the Godhead from Whom all conceptions of divinity flow. This view is a mirror image of the truth.

There is but One God. All conceptions of divinity do arise from Ek Devata, the one God. Paul said,

29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

And again:

Romans 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him...

Truth mixed with heresy. Secular Humanism has led the world toward what we might call the unification of God, but under the False Prophet the One God of Light will be flipped into a god of darkness. The perfect counterfeit. Christ means the anointed, this teaching will be the anti-anointing.

Ironically, this followers of this god of darkness are the known as the Enlightened Ones, the Illuminati and the god himself is known as the Son of the Morning, Lucifer. Everything is deceptively reversed.

The Rex Mundi will proclaim himself the embodiment of this "god of light" in the same way that most Christians hold that Y'shua is the embodiment of the God of Light bodily. Hence Lucifer will be proclaimed the god of the earth and the worship of any other will be strictly forbidden on pain of death. In the follow texts, we can glean a bit more insight:

Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast [the Antichrist] rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns [compare Daniel 7], and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

The identity of the god proclaimed by the Antichrist, regardless of the name he might employ, is shown to be the Dragon, who in biblical terms we know to be the fallen angel Lucifer, Son of the Morning. Lucifer himself will therefore bestow upon the beast his power and great authority over the earth.

You will recall from your readings in the Book of Daniel how Nebuchadnezzar's successor (and son) to the throne King Belshazzar (not to be confused with Daniel's proscribed name Belteshazzar) had boasted of his own glory by defiling the holy objects taken from the Jewish temple. In the same way, the Antichrist will arrogantly flaunt his position over that of the God of Israel with similar results.

Daniel 5:5 …In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote…
25 …And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

Again:

Revelation 13: 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

The basic time line appears to be that after committing the abomination of desolation in the Holy of Holies of Jerusalem Temple, the world leader will walk outside into the limelight of the world's media to receive praise. TV crews will rush forward to record his every word and movement – a living god in their midst! The whole world will be enthused with honor and admiration for this man...

Then... standing before the adoring throng, assuring the world that he will not allow the God of Israel or the hated Jews to hamper his glorious plans for the future of his Fourth Reich, a shot will ring out and the leader will fall dead to the ground!

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death;

The prophecy doesn't tell us how long the leader will remain dead however considering his desire to mimic the accounts of Master Y'shua it is likely that he will be dead for three and half days, as was Prophet Y'shua. It will certainly be long enough to remove any doubt that his wound was fatal, that the dear leader was dead.

Then, when the time is judged right, the Rex Mundi will rise from the dead on global television and proclaim his complete divinity. The world will be astonished but the Jews and all others who love God will be horrified. The peoples of the world will say, "Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"

And yet some people will make war against him!

The March Towards Armageddon

Beginning with the Rex Mundi's resurrection from the dead opposition to his policies will begin in earnest.

Following his resurrection, as risen lord and ruler of the world, the Antichrist will seek to redraw the borders of the various nations. Such will doubtless be involved in his Mid-East peace plan as well. But now he will recast the map, dividing the world among the rich and powerful with himself as global emperor and savior. During the initial period his work will appear to the masses to be humanitarian and his fame will quickly grow as a Prince of Peace but following his assassination his true nature will be revealed.

It will be during this period of growing global peace and security, prior to his death, that certain nations will begin to resist his reign of terror and the march toward Armageddon will begin. What we're interested in right now is the way the Antichrist deals with the Jews and others who refuse to worship him and Lucifer, his god.

Rev. 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

Once the Beast rises from the dead, the prophetic clock continues to count down. Three and a half years, forty-two months (the second half of the "week"), remains as Prophet Y'shua reveals to John here. Whereas previously his great words had seduced the world, The Rex Mundi now spews out blasphemies against the Jews, their Temple and their God.

Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

No longer does the leader rely on convincing arguments and skilled diplomacy to get what he wants, at this point he will utilizes all the raw power of global despotism. He will declare that those with religious faith in any god other than Lucifer are terrorists, enemies of the global state and of peace. Those nations he has yet to conquer will now be taken by brutal force. Individuals will seek to resist. People of all religions will then understand who this man beast really is. He will die a demon possessed human but he will rise Lucifer incarnate.

Some people will hide in the forests, some in hiding places as in World War Two, others will attempt to preach the truth and will willingly or unwillingly embrace martyrdom by the thousands.

With their governments fallen to the New World Order, freedom living individuals from around the globe, citizens from the diverse and growing militia groups, and others will strike against the beast covertly and openly. This will bring national and planetary chaos that the Elite will be unable to handle. But they will try. this attempt will bring in what the prophets call The Great Tribulation, the last three and half years.

I believe that as the United States embraces the North American Union and finalizes the end of this nation, patriots and nationalists will Stand. They will will not under any single leader or camp but as diverse individual patriots. Faced with this nationalist insurgency the Elite will strike back with military and police forces, the National Guard, as well as Mexican troops, with earth quakes, disease, food rations, chemical warfare, and more. This however will be met with shock troops from the Muslim Ummah, Communist China, South American leaders, and possibly Russia. A true "Red Dawn" scenario. The result being the fragmentation of the United States in competing armed camps. In this way the United States, as a global power, will cease to exist. This is why it is not mentioned in any of the prophecies. I expect the US to fall just prior to the rising of the Rex Mundi.

In China, Russia and North Africa paramilitary groups are even now preparing for war. Across the United States nationalists are training and preparing for martial law. People like Alex Jones, Liberty Tree radio, Radio Liberty and Dr. Stanley Monteith and many others are getting the word out. BUT it will be individuals who will decide to Stand. If We the People don't Stand, We WILL fall.

I Wont Back Down

Matt 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Israel is the KEY

The global pogroms that will begin following the resurrection of the Beast will be worse than any persecution ever experienced on our wounded and abused little planet. So brutal will this violence be that it will threaten continued life on the planet. The various national, racial and religious militia groups will be positioning themselves for Total War because nothing else can stop the Rex Mundi and his New World Order. The imperial forces of the global government will be actively persecuting anyone and everyone, especially Jews and Christians, but anyone who maintains religious any non-Secular Humanist faith and who refuses to accept the authority of the leader and god, now ruling the earth from Rome and Jerusalem.

Revelation 13: 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
