Expectations of the Antichrist – Session 5 – Chuck Missler

 

Why is the Vatican openly preparing to receive an “alien” visitor? Clearly, the Bible has much more to illuminate this issue far beyond the popular conceptions; and yet the composite perspective will astonish most. Furthermore, is there a climactic cosmic deception being prepared that, if it were possible, “it would deceive the very elect”? Jesus commanded us, “Be not deceived.” But, how? How close are these events to our current horizon?

Qatar and the Antichrist’s False Peace By Hal Lindsey

Recent news regarding Qatar provides a preview of things to come. In the future, the Antichrist will negotiate a Middle East peace agreement with Israel. But it will not address the deeper issues, and the treaty will not last. We can see a picture of its flaws right now.

For years, people familiar with Bible prophecy wondered how the Antichrist could possibly end the antagonism between Israel and its Muslim neighbors. Hatred of the Jews seemed too entrenched. But Anwar Sadat and, later, King Hussein of Jordan, both signed treaties with Israel. In the last few years, the increasing nuclear ambitions of Iran’s Shia Muslim leaders have pushed Israel and the rest of its Sunni Muslim neighbors toward increased cooperation.

Against all odds, Israel has been developing significant ties to Saudi Arabia and the others, including Qatar. But today’s cooperation between Israel and its Arab neighbors shows the same weakness that will end the Antichrist’s treaty. In its bedrock beliefs, Islam contains a profound hatred and deep contempt for all things Jewish. Last month, Qatar gave the world a preview.

For years, it has been well known in intelligence circles that Qatar has been a major funder of terrorist operations. In 2017, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates cut diplomatic ties with Qatar. They said they were doing so because of Qatar’s support for terrorism.

On July 19th of this year, Egypt Today and other outlets, reported, “A German private security contractor, who has worked for the federal republic’s intelligence and security services, leveled bombshell allegations against Qatar’s regime, stating Doha finances the US and EU-designated terrorist movement Hezbollah and has declared Jews to be the enemies of the tiny Gulf state.”

This story garnered headlines all over the world, but it shouldn’t have been a surprise. We have long known that Qatar supports, not only Hezbollah, but al Qaeda, al-Nusra, ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas. In fact, almost all of Hamas’s support comes from Qatar. Hamas could not even exist if not for Qatar. In a Jerusalem Post editorial this week, Herb Keinon wrote that the recent Hamas rocket attacks on Israel were a signal to Qatar to send more money.

The Qataris have claimed they are only trying to “spread democracy” in the Middle East. Yet Qatar’s own government is anything but democratic. It is a monarchy, owned and operated by a single family. They represent one of the least democratic nations in the world. Yet they say they have decided to “spread democracy to the world.”

During the seven years we call the tribulation, several Sunni Muslim nations, including Saudi Arabia, will break with the Antichrist’s peace plan, and move against Israel. This is not the northern coalition led by Russia and Iran, but a group of more southerly nations. They will be led by someone Daniel 11 describes as the “king of the South.” His advance on Jerusalem marks an early stage in the war of Armageddon.

Daniel 11:5 says, “The king of the South will grow strong.” Verse 25 says, “The king of the South will mobilize an extremely large and mighty army.”

That “large and mighty army” is being built right now. Saudi Arabia has been using its vast oil wealth to arm itself to the teeth. It now has the fifth largest defense budget in the world. Some intelligence organizations rank it even higher, saying that only the United States and China spend more on their militaries. Yet Saudi Arabia has a population of only 32 million.

Once again, the Bible proves to be true. Thousands of years ago, Hebrew prophets described 21st century geopolitics with uncanny accuracy. That should give us confidence that we can also trust the Bible in each of our lives. It contains the very words of God to human beings. What a privilege to carry its words in our phones as well as having them on our bookshelves. But don’t just carry the Bible around or leave it to gather dust. Get into it. Gain strength and understanding from it. Don’t neglect it – especially now.

DAVID JEREMIAH: The End Times, Antichrist, God’s Judgment & Prophecy in Revelation

 

Are these the end times? Who is the Antichrist and False Prophet in the Book of Revelation? What is the Millennial Reign of Christ?

In this interview, Dr. David Jeremiah, the founder and host of Turning Point speaks with Dr. John Hull and explains what we can know about end times prophecy as revealed in the Bible, specifically The Book of Revelation.

These are the Times By Hal Lindsey

These are times of brutality, vulgarity, rage, and recklessness. We live in an age of pestilence, earthquakes, extreme weather, and signs in the heavens. This is the era of humanism, dark arts, floods of pharmaceuticals, and spiraling levels of mental illness. We are entering a season of uncertainty, fearfulness, and escapism. The spring of pride is fast becoming the winter of despair.

Everything on the list above is a sign that we are approaching the last of the last days. And it’s a list that could go on for pages and pages. For those of us who love our fellow human beings and our country, seeing these biblical signs play out is not pleasant. But we must remember where we’re going. This road travels through tough terrain, but it’s headed for glory.

I don’t know how long the world can go on in this condition. But I do know that things could fall apart in short order. The moral foundation of the world’s leading nation has, in only a few decades, been largely abandoned. The resulting chaos prepares the whole world to follow Antichrist and the False Prophet. Our society worships technology, honors blasphemy, rejects truth, believes lies, and is becoming progressively more violent. Those are the Antichrist’s main attributes.

As you read these words, I hope you will not despair. Instead, I hope they will encourage you to remember where your hope and security really lie. They are not in this world or the institutions of this world. They are in Jesus Christ and His kingdom.

On more than one occasion, Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd.” He who laid down His life for us, will not stop caring for us just because we live in dark days. A good shepherd watches over the sheep of His pasture. He protects them from harm. He makes sure that their needs are met.

Psalm 84:11-12 says, “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, How blessed is the man who trusts in You!”

That’s just as true today as it has ever been. No matter how dark the time, we walk in the light of Jesus Christ!

Not only does He promise to care for us in times of difficulty, His word teaches that He will remove us from this world before the worst of the dark times ahead. Titus 2:13 in the English Standard Version says, “Waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.”

Soon, He shall appear and snatch us away from this world. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 says, “The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”

Those words should comfort us. They should also spur us to action. Don’t give in to the despair of our times. Instead, let the urgency of the hour draw you ever closer to the Lord and His word.

People everywhere need Jesus, and we need to faithfully share Him. He’s the only hope. The darkness of our times should remind us of 2 Corinthians 4:6. “Light shall shine out of darkness.”
