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?
The liar and murderer from the beginning (John 8:44) is real, but why would you believe his cronies who say his name is Yahweh? What you're thinking of is an entity who hardly has any name, only titles, but was first known as Helel (praiser or shiner). He was created by Yahweh, he desired to be like Yahweh, but couldn't seize that exact name reserved to the Creator by royal prerogative, and could only corrupt variations of it; in the first century he was known as Yaldabaoth (a corrupt version of Yahweh Sabaoth). The Bible says Yahweh is the real Creator, overseeing creation like a master of public works (a demiurge, from demos public), so Helel called himself the demiurge and creator instead. This spirit, which most everyone means by the titles satan (adversary) and devil, never ruled over anyone but the spirit minions he deceived, and should not be confused with the perfect reign of Yahweh throughout all history through his perfect Word, Jesus. It is satan who teaches that the Bible, God's written Word, conflicts with itself.
Thus those Pharisees (not all of them) were indeed serving the devil, and probably some of them thought of him as Yahweh or Yaldabaoth, but others historically attested did not, and sought the true Creator, as we all should.
God's Word was put out there for perfect reasons, and none could interfere with what he wanted delivered. Trump may clean house before Christ indeed, but Trump stands or falls on his confession of Jesus as the Christ. Deception will be thick for awhile, so test everything, including what I say, by its truth and alignment with the reality created by Yahweh the Creator. If you cannot call on the Creator, you cannot be saved by Jesus; you deny Father and Son.
