  1. 2 Thessalonians 2:6-12 The delusion is sent after He (the Holy Spirit) is taken away with the church because the nonbelievers rejected the love of the truth in the gospel of Jesus. So God causes them to believe the lie of the antichrist. What could he say at a time when all the Christians are gone and their clothing lays on the ground? Aliens took them maybe. After all they will have seen the light of Jesus in the clouds when he called us up see 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17.

    So we don't know who the ten nations will be or if NATO will have anything to do with this?

    Daniel 9:26 tells us the antichrist will come from Roman linage since Rome destroyed Jerusalem. We don't know the Kings but we know the 4th beast of Iron was Rome and it will be Rome and its colonies that first follow the antichrist.

    There are many more than ten formerly "Christian" nations in the West.

    How can NATO, which is mostly America, devour the earth?

    Just what does "devour the earth" mean?

    When antichrist and the ten kings devour the whole earth 666 will become king of earth.

    Do you know who these ten kings are and how they will accomplish this?

    They will come to power with the antichrist after the rapture. 2 Thessalonians 2:6-12 explains that God will cause the people that heard the truth of the gospel but rejected Jesus to believe the lie of the antichrist. God gives the crown to the antichrist who will ride the white horse in the 6th seal. The nations of the western powers who once believed in Jesus will follow the antichrist. NATO will be his army to devour the earth.

  5. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15

    If you have confessed your sins to God our Father, and asked Jesus to come into your heart to be your Lord, because he died for your sins was buried and rose from the dead, you are saved and now belong to Jesus. Your actions will bring rewards if they are for the glory of God. Your sins will cause you to lose some or all of your rewards but not your salvation 1 Corinthians 3:11-15.

    So how long is the reign of Antichrist?

    2 Thessalonians 2:6-12 tells us that God will cause every one that heard the truth of the gospel but said no to Jesus to believe the lie of antichrist. This happens after the rapture when the Holy Spirit and the believers are taken away. America will follow the antichrist because they have rejected Jesus.

    Daniel 11:39 tells us that the antichrist will divide Israel and will do his will in the most strongholds. America is the strongest nation now that Israel is back in the land.

    Antichrist will not rule the whole world till God causes the ten Kings to destroy Mystery Babylon and give their power to the antichrist at the middle of the tribulation see Revelation 17:12-18.

    Brother Eric, I respectfully yet strongly disagree. A quick study in Revelation 20 dispels that statement.

    v. 7 "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison" 

    We then read that God destroys the devil and those who revolted with him at the end of the millennium, THEN we see the great white throne judgment

    v. 11 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them."

    The heaven and earth flee from God's face THEN, and that's AFTER the millennium. 

    We next see the judgment of the rest of the dead v. 15 "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

    What happens then? Rev. 21 starts out with verse 1-2

    1 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea."2  "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

    The rest of chapter 21 goes into detail about the New Jerusalem. This cannot happen until after the millennium because the heaven and earth don't flee from God's face until Rev. 20:11, AFTER the millennium, after the final revolt of the devil, and after the devil is cast into the lake of fire in Rev. 20:10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

    There will still be sin on earth during the millennium. Christ will be there to rule and reign in righteousness, but even though conditions are wonderful, mankind still will have sin in his heart. That's why many will willfully CHOOSE to follow the devil after he is loosed from the bottomless pit at the end of the thousand years to deceive the nations.  The new heaven and new earth cannot be created while he yet has sway over mankind. He is defeated once and for all, cast into the lake of fire, the rest of dead are all judged accordingly, and THEN the new heavens and new earth according to Rev. 20-21.

    Ronda,

    It is a fun time when someone gets to learn something new. Please read Isaiah 65:17-25 there will be sin and birth and death. After the tribulation the survivors will be judged see Matthew 25:36-45 the righteous will repopulate the earth with children that will have to accept Jesus because they will still have a sin nature. Jesus will fix the earth so they can live on it through the 1000 year reign of Christ.

    In Revelation 21:4 there will be no death or sorrow.

    So will the NH & NE be created before the millenium, Alan?

    The new heaven and new earth will also be created before the 1000 year reign of Christ, see Isaiah 65:17-25.

    Notice there will be long life but death and sin after the recreation of the surface of the earth.

    Sister Ronda

    Matt 24:21  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

    Such as, not worse than,  There never was a tribulation such as that when the Lord punished the nation for murdering their Messiah.  When the temple was left with not one stone standing upon another and the Roman troops ordered to dig up its foundations. All the priests were murdered by their own side and those who had recently worn the sacred vestments were cast naked into the streets and trampled upon.  While the Romans were outside the city there was a civil war inside with three factions fighting each other.  Titus begged the Jews to protect the temple and keep the sacrifice going, but the blood letting went on and eventually the sacrifice stopped, even though Titus appealed to them to keep it going, because there was no one who could offer sacrifices any more, as the seditious burnt down the records office that held the genealogies, their reason was that it also held records of debts and no one could prove that they owed anything.  This building held all the genealogies from the beginning of the nation and, I would suppose,  probably from Adam. All gone.

    The tribulation was on One nation, Judea.  One city, Jerusalem.  One people, the Jews.

    One woman at least ate her own child, See Deut. 28, People venturing out of the city were caught and tortured and crucified, up to 500 a night till there wer not enough crosses so more than one were nailed to the same cross. The nation was sold into slavery, so many that the price of slaves in the empire went to rock bottom because no one would buy them, see Deut 28.  Many were sent to the mines of Egypt, see Duet 28:68 They were exiled to all nations.

     

    Invicta,

    The tribulation spoken of in Matthew 24:21 will be on the whole world and will be the worst ever!

  10. #1 Psalm 139:13-16 Babies are written in God's book before they have arms and legs. We are God's at conception till we are old enough to choose to sin. All God's children will be called up at the rapture.

    #2  I believe the unborn children of unsaved mothers still belong to God so will probably be called up too.

    Warn them of what? If they won't listen to the Gospel they aren't going to turn to Christ because of interest rates in Japan, a famine in Africa, Muslims beheading Christians or other news stories.

    What Bible translation do you give out now since the Gideons stopped using the KJB? (a Gideon friend told me what translation they were replacing the KJB with but that was some years ago now and I don't recall which it was)

    I give out KJB . I am trying to warn Christians about the hard economic times around the world which are coming here also.

    Brother Eric, Thank you for answering my question (in part). But I still am left wondering what you do with these verses? (Since you quote other verses from Matthew as applying to this age) I just can't understand how you can claim Matthew 24 and not Matthew 6:31-34. I see your reasoning from the other verses you selected, but what about these verses...Are they just thrown out? Ignored? I'm sorry to offend you, I just can't understand your reasoning. Do these verses not apply to you? 

    Matthew 6:31-34    31 "Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?"
    32 "(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."
    33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
    34 "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

    Hi Ronda. These verses teach us not to worry, but they do not tell us not to work. 2 Thessalonians 3:10b if a man will not work neither shall he eat. We need to be responsible for the needs of the body of Christ. If we know the bridge is out we should warn others.
