Where Is The Kingdom Of Antichrist ?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Yes the antichrist will be given control of earth by God at the middle of the tribulation.Revelation 17:16-17.

But at the beginning of the tribulation the antichrist will come to power in the strongest country Daniel 11:39.

 

Where is the kingdom of antichrist?

 

Where and why will it be darkened before Armageddon? Look for the answer in the prophets.

 

Revelation 16:10-11

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

11And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

 

Before Armageddon the sun and moon will stand still and go from view because a permanent solar eclipse will cause darkness on Israel and the other side of the earth. America will be judged as the kingdom of antichrist. I warn American Christians to cause them to witness now.

 

 

Habakkuk 3:11-13

11The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went(from view), and at the shining of thy glittering spear.

12Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.

13Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people(Israel), even for salvation with thine anointed(church); thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.

 

 The permanent solar eclipse will continue through the kingdom age see Isaiah 60:19-20.

 

Isaiah 60:19-20

19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

20Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

 

A solar eclipse is when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun. 

 

1 There is still light greater than a full moon at night.

2 Both the moon and sun are still visible

 

The other events come and go, we don't know if this darkness will come and go also.

MC,

 

The permanent solar eclipse will continue through the kingdom age see Isaiah 60:19-20.

 

Isaiah 60:19-20

19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

20Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

 

The sun and moon stay over Israel for the 1000 year kingdom age. When I understood this I finally believed. There are many scriptures that talk about the sun going dark at noon or in its going forth. The 200 mile dark spot is only on Israel where the antichrist's seat of power will be for the last half of the tribulation Daniel 11:45.During a full solar eclipse you can't see the moon or sun or stars because of a twilight condition.

 

Read all of Isaiah chapter 60. Jesus will come to Israel in verse1-2, and the Gentiles will come to Israel to look up to see the light of Jesus in the New Jerusalem in the heavens over Israel in the shadow of the moon.

John,

 

I agree that America could fall or be destroyed fast but another country can not rise in time to be the most powerful nation.

 

In 2 Thessalonians 2:6-12 we are told that God will send strong delusion on everyone that has heard the truth of the gospel but rejected Jesus, to believe the lie of the antichrist. America will be the most deluded nation because they have been the most evangelized people. The Western Europe will follow antichrist soon after America. America will be in the dark when the sun and moon stop over Israel. The reason America prOBably won't fall before the rapture is the Christians who are faithful to the end.

In what way is America the most powerful nation?

 

There was a recent thread which took to task just what the "strong delusion" actually means and who it pertains to and there was no consensus that it referred to those after the rapture or specific people after rapture.

 

Today, it's hard to say America is evangelized. There are millions across America today who have never read anything from a Bible. Many who have no idea who Jesus is. Many more who have a secular, vague concept of Jesus or "a God", or know something of secular "christianity". Millions in America, if they heard the Gospel tomorrow, it would be the first time they ever heard it.

 

How is it that most all "prophecy preachers", as well as most previous generations who spoke on this, don't now or didn't then see America fitting this role? Most have believed it to be a European confederation; with most today pointing to the EU.

 

As MC pointed out, and others did in another thread, the idea of the Western Hemisphere being in the dark for an extended time period isn't what they see in Scripture.

We have had one or two people come into our church recently who say they have never been in any church before,  One only lived round the corner and said she did not know our church existed, even though we had leafleted that road.

 

Hitler's regime was Catholic through and through, and he was put in power when the Catholic party voted the give him  executive powers and was then ordered by the pope to disband.  Hitler never one an election.  His regime was  called the Third Reich.  Many consider the EU to be The Fourth Reich, also led by Germany.  Most of Europe is RC.

You can't help but twist history can you....
Hitler's Nazi party was the largest elected party, and he was Appointed as chancellor. His party did win the election.

If you are referring to a technicality that he was never voted for as chancellor, then you are manipulating the facts, for that was not their method of appointing the chancellor.

A fine point, but indeed under the democratic system in Germany at that time, Hitler gained the seat of Chancellor by legal appointment. He also managed to legally use the system to expand his power before eventually going his own way using the powers the elected officials had previously granted him.

 

Some point to the Holy Roman Empire, which was German, as being more important in terms of the end times than Hitler and the Nazis.

Just found this article:   

 

"No, Hitler Did Not Come to Power Democratically"

 

by Daniel Luban

 

In a recent interview, the conservative Middle East scholar Bernard Lewis argues that the Arab world is not ready for free and fair elections. This may be surprising coming from the man whose theories about “the roots of Muslim rage” were a major inspiration for the Bush administration’s democracy promotion agenda. Nevertheless, in making his argument Lewis repeats what is supposed to be the argument-clincher against elections — the fact that “Hitler came to power in a free and fair election.”

The only prOBlem is that this frequently-repeated “fact” is simply not true. In the final two free elections before Hitler’s rise to power, in July and November 1932, the Nazis received 38% and 33% of the vote, respectively — a plurality but not enough to bring them into government. In the 1932 presidential election, Hitler lost to Hindenburg by a wide margin.

Hitler came to power not through elections, but because Hindenburg and the circle around Hindenburg ultimately decided to appoint him chancellor in January 1933. This was the result of backroom dealing and power politics, not any kind of popular vote. It is true that after Hitler was already ensconced as chancellor, the Nazis subsequently won the March 1933 elections. But this was in the wake of the Reichstag fire, when the government had passed an emergency law that sharply restricted the activities of left-of-center parties (including the arrest of many Communist leaders). Thus it is difficult to claim that these were “free and fair” elections.

 

Look, I understand the basic point that Lewis and the rest are trying to make with the Hitler example: elections can sometimes bring nasty people to power. And frankly, I agree with this OBvious point. But it would be nice if seemingly well-informed people would stop repeating this bogus “fact” about Hitler, so that we can lay it to rest once and for all.

It takes very little research to see precisely the same manner of governmental appointment in many European countries today.

Many European countries do not have a "two party system" as the US has.
Whoever rules, gains power by coalitions of parties.
In many instances there is no majority party, but many smaller parties join forces to gain control.
It often happens that the party that actually attains the highest percentage of the vote is not able to form adequate coalitions and is therefore not able to form govornment.
THIS IS THEIR LEGITIMATE POLITICAL PROCESS, and therefore the recognized legal procedure.

This is what happened with Hitler. It was fully legal and according their prevailing political process.

And anyone who lives in Europe would know that.

The RC party the Zentrum, voted Hitler emergency powers and then the Pope ordered them to disband and support the Nazi Party.  I have not distorted history.

The permanent solar eclipse is described in many day of the Lord prophecies.

 

 

Isaiah 13:9-11

9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

 

10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

 

11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

Have you noticed that Isaiah 13 begins with Isaiah 13:1 & includes, after Isaiah 13:9-11 Isaiah 13:17 ? 

 

The fulfillment is recorded in Dan. 5:31

Covenanter,

The Babylon in verse one is the kingdom of antichrist destroyed at the time of the great earthquake in Revelation 16:19.

 

Isaiah 24

Isaiah 24:19-23 (Describes condition of earth in judgment as Isaiah 13:13-14)

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

 

20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

 

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones(Devil and bad angels cast to earth in Revelation 12) that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

 

22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

 

(See the permanent solar eclipse described)

 

23Then the moon shall be confounded(Stopped), and the sun ashamed(behind moon), when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

Eric, have you noticed how Isaiah 24 begins ?

1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

 

It's difficult to visualise a literal fulfilment - please help.

The magnetic field of the sun has flipped end for end this year.

 

The earth's magnetic field is showing signs that the poles may reverse too.

 

In Isaiah 25:4-7 a blast of strangers will destroy the covering over the earth and the veil over every nation. This will prOBably be an electric pulse weapon. It may cause the earth to flip. I don't know how God will turn the earth upside down, but he will.

 

I thought about the effects and why God might turn the earth upside down. Most of the people live in the northern hemisphere. After a nuclear war the northern hemisphere would have a lot of radioactive dust in it. By flipping the earth most of the people and the Jews would be in clean air.
