I found the message linked below to be encouraging and insightful. I want to share it with all. Pastor Farag is one of the most awakened pastors I have come across (9/11, Patriot Act, death shot, DNA corruption, etc.) and while other’s efforts to tie current times to biblical prophecy fall short I find Pastor Farag’s messages always sit right with my heart and often confirm thoughts that the Holy Spirit has already pressed upon me.

Deception Spiritually

The last one “Spiritual Deception” is the reason for my post title and the motivation of sharing this here at GAW. What movie are you watching? The biggest nugget in Pastor Farag’s message, for me, was the distinction between “an” anti-Christ and “the” anti-Christ. While being grateful for this board and all of you contributors, my heart has always been unsettled about how to reconcile the spiritual hopes placed in Trump, Q, or “The Plan” vs biblical prophecy. I understand that for this reconciliation to be perplexing one has to have the mindset that we are indeed at the last hour. My hope is strictly in Jesus’ plan and I look forward to the blessed hope of Jesus gathering His children to Him in the clouds.
Conversely, the hopes in Trump, Q, or The Plan, while entertaining, do not hold much credence since we are already at the last hour. I don’t believe the current signs and times allow enough time for this generation, those that are alive now, and even those middle-late aged that are not saved by the blood of Christ, to escape the great tribulation. It’s coming and coming soon. There is simply not enough time for this ship to get righted. Much less for another era of bountiful and good times. It is a false hope IMO. We have never been so close to biblical prophecy. Israel is a nation, the temple artifacts are all already made and just waiting for the already planned and supposedly only waiting on funding. DNA manipulation and the evil in man’s hearts just as in the time of Noah. COVID showed us a concerted global effort. World government and world currency on deck. These are only off the top of my head. The few prophecies that left are strongly in the realm of possibility now. It is a time to rejoice as heaven draws near.
Trump, Q, or the plan can all be anti-christs. Anything that is taking your hope away from Jesus can be “an” anti-Christ. They may not be “the” anti-Christ but they can certainly be “an”. Search your heart frens. What movie are you watching and where does your hope lie?
Seek Jesus and you will find truth.
Edit: I find it revealing and sad that some would equate this post to dooming. Is not our salvation and the promise of heaven immeasurably better than this garbage dump called earth? Where is your faith and what are you seeking? I get it, I have aspirations too and on some level would like justice to prevail just so I could experience them but the promise of heaven is so far beyond any happiness that can be found here. I will endure what I must for as long as I must while here but we are all better off keeping our hope rooted in Jesus Christ and not any worldly plan.
sigh
So we are not supposed to hope in anybody on the earth? What about spirit-filled Christians in positions of power?
Pastor Farag is a sensationalist and emotional pastor who's doctrines are questionable imo.
But Farag aside, just how exactly do people think God works on the earth? He uses people to carry out His purposes.
edit- The difference is people who elevate fellow men / women above Christ. The point must be clear: we hope in Christ, whether in our personal lives or in the lives of other people. Nobody can help us except Him, but don't be a gnostic retard and think for one second that He doesn't use other people to help us.
Can you find anywhere in Biblical Prophecy where it speaks of a "reprieve" of evil of any sort (similar to what the GAW promises) before the Great Tribulation?
EDIT: You know, now that I asked that question out loud, I just was reminded that the Antichrist will bring 'Peace" by signing a covenant "with the many," but will break that covenant in the middle of the Tribulation when he exalts himself in the 3rd Temple in Jerusalem announcing himself to be God.
~ Daniel 9:27
Some believe that the "covenant with many" refers to a peace treaty that the Antichrist will make with Israel or other nations, while others interpret it symbolically as a false covenant or agreement. The "middle of the 'seven'" is often understood as a period of three and a half years, or 42 months, which is associated with the Great Tribulation.
The idea that the Antichrist will exalt himself in the Third Temple in Jerusalem and declare himself to be God is derived from passages such as 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, which states:
Well, many will scoff at my view of it all but I believe the papacy is the antichrist (every pope) and anybody who, intentionally or not, advances the agenda of the Vatican is a "false prophet", and anybody who is a "self-made man", or in any other way represents or thinks of themselves higher than they aught would fall into the "an antichrist" camp. Also, the Vatican is behind the state of "Israel", which is not the Israel talked about in the Bible, yet will be and is being used by globohomo (the Beast) in order to deceive the Christian world by various means and with forced-fulfilled prophecies, which are actually misunderstood and already fulfilled prophecies. Furthermore there is no rapture.
These are my views currently.
No scoffing here, my fren!
You have some good thoughts. I would like to say some more regarding some points of interest you brought up, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow.
I shall be here fren. Looking forward to it!
But are we, the follower of Jesus, the true Israel?
Check out Romans 9-11 when you get a chance. And then see if you have the same question.
Ask Paul (;
Makes sense. The woman rides the beast. Church and state
Do you mean there is no Rapture at all? Or are you saying that the Rapture and the 2nd coming are one and the same event?
Yes! Thank you for sharing!
Care to support your assertions?
Whoosh! Went over your head. God does choose to work through human agency in our time but that’s not the gist of what I said. It’s a matter of us being too close to the end for any of men’s plans to come to fruition.
Edit: sure you’re not confusing emotional with spiritual? Not that you have to agree with me but perhaps cognitive dissonance has you.
It all depends on your view of "the end". I don't believe in the rapture so, you decide if I missed your point. I'd argue that I didn't
Ditto regarding rapture! You go Winn! I wish more of this talk was allowed here. Let me know if there are boards with like-minded ones. =)
My view of the end is biblical prophecy. Not here to debate any Pre, Post, Mid nothing. We are all here because biblical prophecy is happening now. God is moving. If you have eyes to see and ears to hear this is not lost on you and there are not multiple views. There is only God’s word. IMO God’s word and GAW aren’t compatible.
What do u mean by
My view of the end is biblical prophecy.
Yes, yes, yes! You are on point Rando!
And I disagree with your interpretation of Biblical prophecy and God's Word.
Also, "IMO God’s word and GAW aren’t compatible." - if this is your view what are you doing on here?
