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.

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.
The topic of this post is not Pre, Post, or MidTrib. It’s not who is the AC or when the AC shows up. It is how GAW, like many other things that bear false hope, can be “an” anti-Christ. Many are flying right over that point. Aside from that I am stating my opinion that GAW and biblical prophecy do not reconcile. They are not compatible ideas.
Sometimes it our understanding of things that needs to change. I encourage you to keep praying on this thought. Jesus most definitely can and will sort it out. God bless u fren. Praying for you
Thank you fren. Your words are a good message to all. Things do change as more information is revealed or understood but God’s words do not. Thankfully the Holy Spirit is here to guide our understanding. Numbers 6:24-26
You hit it on the head brother. Our understanding of the bible comes from praying for the truth and the Holy Spirit revealing it.
