3. What to do when the Antichrist comes

When the Antichrist comes part 3.pdf

(Hebrews 5: 9-10) 9….to all who obey Him (Jesus), 10 called by God as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek,

Do not doubt and never let go of the faith in our King and High Priest Jesus.
An explanation using the book of Hebrews (all quotations from the NKJV translation)

In the previous article, we briefly talked about the fear for the Corona virus plaguing the world. According to 12 global medical experts in infectious diseases, practically all infected people have mild to bearable symptoms, only the elderly and the sick do not.

Christians have been warned in Scripture against a takeover of society by an overarching worldwide government with the Antichrist as king (Dan 8:23).
The Antichrist is the initiator of a new global money system, which also requires the worship of Satan and which we conveniently call the New World Order – NWO (Rev. 13: 15-17).

Ultimately, this government wants the current UN to cease to exist and to be replaced by a Jewish UN:

A world government or New World Order, which will probably never again disappear due to persistent problems.

In the previous article, we have seen how we can arm ourselves spiritually against the liar, the coming Antichrist, and have further talked about Jesus’ task as the by God-appointed High Priest according to the composition of tasks of Melchizedek.

Trust on your Creator in all your worries:

(Psalm 46: 1-2) 1….God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Theme of this article; The mark, the eternal sacrifice for our sins, the access to God by Jesus’ sacrifice and the faith of our ancestors in a new homeland.  Continue reading “3. What to do when the Antichrist comes”

5. Worship of the ‘image’

Worship image 5.pdf

The trace in Scripture that leads to the worship of the ‘image’ of the beast:
HCSB (Revelation 13:14-15) 14 … telling those who live on the earth to make an image of the beast who had the sword wound yet lived. 15 ….so that the image of the beast could both speak and cause whoever would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
—————————————————————————————————————

In the previous article we talked about the great Babylon, a real city, and that NEOM is situated exactly on the old Midian, with Mount Sinai. What the objectives of NEOM are and which people already have been attracted and approached.

According to Peter Phillips (professor of Sociology, Ph.D., University of California), the result of influential think tanks, NGO’s and organizations is, that they translate the agenda of the richest 1% into policy, which is then implemented by governments.
In his view, we must think of powerful fund managers like BlackRock and the Vanguard Group, which you will encounter as a shareholder in almost all large companies and the military industrial complex.

In fact, in this way the US has become a plutocracy, a form of government in which the richest are in power and can determine the legislation for large groups within society.
NEOM also has very large investments and there are many large parties that want to invest in there.
NEOM, the great Babylon, will be fully in the media’s attention in the coming period.

NKJV (Jeremiah 51: 12, 13) 12 Set up the standard on the walls of Babylon; Make the guard strong, Set up the watchmen, Prepare the ambushes. For the Lord has both devised and done What He spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon. 13 O you who dwell by many waters, Abundant in treasures, Your end has come, The measure of your covetousness.

The inhabitants of ancient Babylon, according to Jeremiah, were rich in treasures and had a great deal of covetousness.
In the new great Babylon, the multi-billionaires are also rich in treasures and capital and they also have a great deal of covetousness.

The theme of this writing is the characteristics of the false prophet regarding NEOM, about Jesus’ statements about these and about the further biblical prophecies that relate to these.

3. Youth; Disappointments and how to deal with

Youth3.pdf

An explanation of topics for a dialogue with young people; topics where young people have to deal with in their lives, with support of Scripture.

In the previous part, in part 2, we spoke extensively about the value of money and how young people can deal with this. In that part it emerged, that love for capital or money apparently has become very obvious for many young people.
The Scripture says about people who desire wealth, that those people are pitiable, that such persons lack love for God (YHWH) and for his neighbors:

NKJV (Revelation 3:17) 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’–and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked–

In this part, the preparation for disappointment for young people will be treated, because disciples of Jesus, just like Jesus himself, will get disappointed.
Jesus was regularly disappointed in His days, by the traitor Judas Iscariot, by the Jewish priests, by the traders in the temple:

NKJV (Matthew 21: 12-13) 12 Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ “

The theme of this writing is dealing with disappointment as part of the development of Christian youth.

world powers 12. The great war at Har-Mágedon

NKJV (Revelation 17: 12-14) 12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

The ten horns (kings, who are part of the new world order – NWO) received authority for one hour with the wild beast (financial rulers). They give their power and authority to the wild beast. Then they fight together (as the NWO) against the King Jesus Christ.

—————————————————————————————————————–

This battle is fought by Jesus with his army to free his disciples, who – despite the pressure of an egocentric, greedy and from God alienated world  – stay faithful and loyal to their King, who are persecuted because they don’t  ‘worship’ the new world order and will not accept the mark of the beast under any circumstances.

—————————————————————————————————————-

NKJV (2 Timothy 3: 1-5) 1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

NKJV (Revelation 20: 4) 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

NKJV (Revelation 19:19) 19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.

Jesus and his Father are in such manner tuned to each other, so that Jesus could say:

NKJV (John 14: 9) 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

In Zechariah, God the Father declares, that who touches His people, touches His eyeball.

NKJV (Zechariah 2: 8) 8 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.

Jesus thinks exactly the same way about his disciples, who are also God’s people.

Overview of the symbolic beasts and images in Revelation:

NKJV (Revelation 13: 1) 1…And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.

The seven world powers

NKJV (Revelation 12: 3) 3 … behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.

Satan the Devil

NKJV (Revelation 13: 11) 11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.

The false prophet

NKJV (Revelation 13: 15) 15 …that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

The New World Order – The new worldwide money-system

NKJV (Revelation 17: 3) 3 … on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

The financial world power, the 8th kingdom

NKJV (Revelation 17: 4,5) 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

The idolatry in all its forms, mainly the mammon (wealth)

Salvation for Christians:

Christians should keep themselves separated from the disbelievers.

NKJV (2 Corinthians 6: 14)  14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

Christians must avoid every aspect of idolatry.  They receive in Revelation the warning to get out of all idolatry.

NKJV (Revelation 18: 2,4)  2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!…4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

When the Son of man appears in a cloud, then the liberation comes for Christians.

NKJV (Luke 21:26-28) 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

world powers 7. An “image” for the first wild beast

The image, which must be made by the Earthlings for the wild beast with seven heads, looks like the image that Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream. Nebuchadnezzar’s statue represented the world powers. (See: the giant statue in the book of Daniel). The image of the beast represents – just like the image of Nebuchadnezzar – world power. This image or picture, which must be made by the Earthlings , may at the hands of “the beast with two horns” speak and has the power to kill those who do not worship the image. (Rev.13 :14-17).

What we know about this image by Revelation 13:14-17 :

NKJV (Revelation 13:14-17) 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their  foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

  1. It forms an image of the complete wild beast    > represents all the world powers
  2. This image receives breathe and can speak     > it is made viable
  3. It can kill those who do not worship him            > it has received a lot of power
  4. Does coercion                                                    > it has a mission
  5. Edited that one can only (re) sell by marking     > it has financial interests
  6. It’s made viable by Satan                                   > it is a product of Satan
