re: Religious bros — how do you recognize the Anti-Christ vs a powerful political douche?

Knowing the specific person may be hard. But things have started showing in relation to seduction of faith.

These so-called religious denominations who have removed parts of God's Word are one starter. Any body that refuses to preach and proclaim 100% text of God's Word, is not a Church or affiliated with Jesus Christ in any way.

Don't care how much you protest, God's Word is clear. The only folks it offends are those who will wind up living eternity with Satan.

There will be 2 witnesses in Jerusalem. They will annoy the world so much that they will try to kill them. But they can't. In fact,the witnesses will kill those who try. The antichrist will show up and he kills them. The whole world is so happy they give gifts to each other to celebrate the witnesses demise.

HIS GIFTEDNESS

He will be highly intelligent. —Rev. 13:18; Dan. 7:8
He will be stronger than most —Dan. 7:20
He will be a gifted communicator. – Dan. 7:8
He will be politically savvy —Dan. 9:27; Rev. 17:12, 13, 17
He will be a military genius — Rev. 13:4; 17:14; 19:19


HIS UNGODLINESS

1. He comes from among ten kings in the restored Roman Empire; his authority will have similarities to the ancient Babylonians, Persians, and Greeks [Daniel 7:24; Rev 13:2 / Daniel 7:7]

2. He will subdue three kings [Daniel 7:8, 24]

3. He is different from the other kings [Daniel 7:24]

4. He will rise from obscurity… a “little horn” [Daniel 7:8]

5. He will speak boastfully [Daniel 7:8; Rev 13:5]

6. He will blaspheme God, [Daniel 7:25; 11:36; Rev 13:5] slandering His Name, dwelling place, and departed Christians and Old Testament saints [Rev 13:6]

7. He will oppress the saints and be successful for 3 ½ years [Daniel 7:25; Rev 13:7]

8. He will try to change the calendar, perhaps to define a new era, related to himself [Daniel 7:25]

9. He will try to change the laws, perhaps to gain an advantage for his new kingdom and era [Dan 7:25]

10. He will not be succeeded by another earthly ruler, but by Christ [Daniel 7:26-27]

11. He will confirm a covenant with “many”, i.e. the Jewish people [Daniel 9:27] This covenant will likely involve the establishment of a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem [see Dan 9:27; Matt 24:15]

12. He will put an end to Jewish sacrifice and offerings after 3 ½ years and will set up an abomination to God in the Temple [Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15]

13. He will not answer to a higher earthly authority; “He will do as he pleases”[Daniel 11:36]

14. He will show no regard for the religion of his ancestors [Daniel 11:37]

15. He will not believe in any god at all [except for himself] [Daniel 11:37]

16. He will have “no regard for the desire of women”: He will either be asexual or homosexual [Dan 11:37]

17. He will claim to be greater than any god [Daniel 11:37; 2 Thess 2:4]

18. He will claim to be God [2 Thessalonians 2:4]

19. He will only honor a “god” of the military. His whole focus and attention will be on his military. He will conquer lands and distribute them [Daniel 11:39-44]

20. His arrival on the world scene will be accompanied by miracles, signs and wonders [2 Thess 2:9]

21. Either he, or his companion [The False Prophet], will claim to be Christ [Matt 24:21-28]

22. He will claim that Jesus did not come in the flesh, or that Jesus did not rise bodily from the grave [2 John 7]. He will deny that Jesus is the Messiah [I John 2:22]

23. He will be worshipped by many people [Rev. 13:8]

24. He will hate a nation that initially will have some control over his kingdom, but he will destroy this nation [Rev 17:16-18]

25. He will appear to survive a fatal injury [Rev. 13:3; 17:8]

26. His name will be related to the number six hundred and sixty six—but not necessarily in an obvious fashion [Rev 13:17-18].

27. He will be empowered by the devil himself [Rev. 13:2]

He comes out of the right geographical region but I don’t think is eloquent enough. Who knows though

The antichrist will literally be seen as a persona on par with Jesus Christ. People with be amazed at his ability to seemingly bring peace to the world, will be fully charismatic to the masses, most likely easy on the eyes and probably will be out of the middle east or of middle eastern heritage

You were describing Trump perfectly until you got to the being from the Middle East.

By not having poor pre-mill pre trib raputre theology that was invented 200 years ago and believing in an eschatology that the church has taught for centuries. Either Post-Mill or A-Mill.

That is incorrect and just a parroted talking point. The early church fathers are quoted on believing in a pre trib rapture. This was before the Catholic Church came along with their censorship and book burning and then we didn’t hear about it again until much later on. LINK

I don’t think it’s him. So, it could very well be.
