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?
First off... There isn't one, there are "many antichrists" according to the bible.
Christ means anointing, so it's referring to those without anointing. What we call NPCs or the spiritually dead. Or the "dead in Christ" that "will be raised" aka e great awakening.
And you (like many others) misconstrue the Daniel reference.
That's isn't the antichrist.. that is about CHRIST HIMSELF.
He became the Christ at 30 years old, and made a new covenant (promise), which is what we call the new testament. The promise was that the kingdom of heaven was within every person, and he STARTED to teach people how to access that. His promise was the coming if the holy spirit, for every person to become Christ and do works greater than he did.
But he was murdered in the midst, at 33.5 years old. ,(3.5 years)
Decades went by, and he got his vengeance on the people who turned on him.
In 66ad, the Jews rebelled against Rome ("the man of sin cannot come until the rebellion comes first")
3.5 years later in 70ad, most Jews were slaughtered and the temple was destroyed, stone by stone, and those stones were used to create more Roman mega structures.
This total was actually lasted a total of 7 years, but the temple was destroyed in the middle of the war.
You might check the Greek concerning Christ being in every person. It should have read "among". The new covenant was made with the same people as the old. The world is upside down, not the kingdom of God. The problem is that the modern day Jews are not God's Israel people. They admit this in their writings. All the prophecies concerning Israel are being or have been performed by someone else, true Israel. Christ said, my sheep (defined as Israel in scripture) hear my voice. They have heard it and follow Christ for almost 2000 years.
