Hey Pedes, looking for clarity on a theory I'm mentally mulling around. It's kind of wild, but also, could have drastic implications if there is any truth to this.
I'll preface this by saying I am a believer in Christ, and only looking for truth, please don't shoot the messenger, this is an open debate and one I expect to see some heated emotions over.
The Greek word for "ante" is "αντι-", and although the current accepted translation of ἀντίχριστος is Anti-christ, there is little literature to explain the use of Anti vs Ante.
There is a possibility that the word "antichrist" in the Bible has been mistranslated or misunderstood, and that it may actually refer to an "ante-Christ," or a precursor to the coming of Christ, similar to how John the Baptist preceded Jesus. The book of Revelation, a highly symbolic and metaphorical text, may not actually predict a future apocalypse or end times, but rather symbolizes the ongoing struggle between good and evil in human history. According to this theory, the arrival of the "antechrist" figure may not be a negative event, but rather a necessary step in clearing the way for Jesus' return.
Let's analyze Trumps actions in contrast to the antechristos.
Abraham accords - negotiating peace with Isreal, only to turn his back in 3.5 years time. Does this fit with Biden getting into office?
The concept of a peace deal or covenant made by the antichrist is not explicitly mentioned in the book of Revelation, but it is described in some other parts of the Bible, particularly in the book of Daniel. In Daniel 9:27, it says:
"He [the antichrist] will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."
Is the end of sacrifice, the end of child, human sacrifice to Baal? Or worse? This kind fits to me. Especially considering the Mossad connections with Epstein et al.
in Revelation 13:3, where it says, "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." This wound is described as being healed, and as a result, people are amazed and follow the beast.
I've often wondered if Trump gaining the presidency again would fulfill this passage?
There is a lot more to this theory, but it's a lot to type out, I'll leave it at this for now.
There are alternatives to this as well, as Obama/Biden could also fulfill the above prophecy by Biden essentially being an Obama Manchurian candidate. I don't know enough about Obamas political deals with Isreal to make a call on the first one.
One final thing here, Is to look at the way Jesus responded to Caiaphas and the high Jewish court :
You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
This is very telling that Jesus did not see YahWeh as his "Father" in heaven. Jesus never once mentioned Yahweh when referencing the father. He used Abba, or other terms.
Thoughts, pedes?
My belief is that the prophet John saw a warning about Satan's plans for our future. There was no chance that he could properly understand the level of destruction man could wrought upon ourselves in the future, so he naturally assumed what he was seeing was a work of God. In his day and age, a city destroying event or a pandemic would be relegated to a work of God. As we see today, man can do that with a nuke and a lab 'leak'.
Christ is THE example of what a person should be like, although our flawed nature makes that impossible. In my mind, the Anti-Christ isn't a person, but a concept. It's essentially a social credit system, that being an example of how to be a perfect servant to the regime, rather than God. Most likely scored out of 0-999, with 3 categories divided into equal thirds. One can only do business if scored in the highest tier (666 or above). It will be tracked by a chip implanted in the hand (mark of the beast) and functions similar to how a farmer would tag cattle.
Free range meat, that's all we are to them.
Wokeism and ESG score are that in its baby phase. If allowed to continue, they will erode all our societal defenses and allow an unprecedented level of predation. Their predation strategy relies on ignorance of their existence. Revealing them will render their strategy useless, and Satan's influence on the world will be greatly reduced. When the happens, the world the normies once knew will end.
Once they open their eyes, its our job to help orient them in this new world.
Gentlemen, I believe the time is nigh.
