re: The COVID ordeal is conditioning for the coming antichrist

quote:

---

Yes, the false prophets are those who claim to have knowledge that the Bible does not endorse, and they have been around since the time Jesus walked the Earth among men. This is clearly stated in the Scriptures.
The Bible also clearly states that no man can know the day nor the hour when Christ will return, not even Him.
He awaits the command, and anyone who says they can tell you when this time is, is a false prophet.
Do not be deceived, but always be prepared, and don't let men and their lies discourage you from seeking the truth.

Well said.

It's not our place to see the end coming, we should live each day as though it could be the last.

In relation to the USA's problems, there have been countries that turned to communism that are now free market and doing well.

Sure, with millions of people dying in the process.
Plus, people keep glossing over one of the biggest Bible prophecy fulfillment’s that wasn’t in place years ago, and that is the establishment of Israel again as a country. And that didn’t happen until 1946

I know it’s been said often, and this is no big revelation, but it’s been on my heart lately and I just wanted to share.
The Bible predicted more than 2000 years ago that a generation would come, and out of it would rise a person, an antichrist who would exalt himself about God, solve the worlds problems, and bring a temporary peace to the planet. But, he will exact a huge price for this momentary peace and global prosperity, he will demand total obedience and worship of him, and his mark on the right hand or forehead in order to buy or sell.
Now I can’t be certain the coming COVID vacations plays a part in all of this, but I feel, like many that it will be used to condition people for the coming mark, if it isn’t the mark itself.
And if the COVID pandemic isn’t enough to extract total capitulation from the masses, a greater virus will be released until the world will be begging for relief.
Skeptics will say that the predictions of the Bible are vague or perhaps coincidence, but to those who believe in its truths, its validation that their belief in Jehovah God is real and he’s coming back soon.
If you haven’t prepared your heart for his return yet, please do so before it’s too late.

God is multi-tasking: He has removed His hand of blessing and protection from this nation. He is judging this nation by taking away a lot of our freedoms and idols. This pandenmic is absolutely setting the stage for a New World Order and the rise of the antichrist. You can't have a New World Order while the US remains the world's superpower. But none of this occurred without warning. God is just, but He always warns first. He did. We didn't listen.

We’ve certainly reached a point in America’s history where the blessings of the Creator are no longer deserved. It will take a monumental spiritual awakening to fend off the coming wrath of the Lord. We’ve squandered our good graces. The further America had fallen away from a relationship with God the further society has degraded into debauchery and lawlessness.

God has blessed this country like no other and just as you said perfectly, we
squandered it away.
We replaced sound expository preaching with 3 point topical sermons, fancy music and entertainment. Gone are the sermons
on God’s holiness, our wretchedness,
sin, and Hell. And because most average Christians know very little about God’s actual word, it was easy for the enemy to slip in false doctrine.
To the point where even Christians doubt the authenticity of God’s word and don’t believe many of the things written in it.
There is a verse of scripture in the Old Testament that always troubles me, and it’s about crossing the line where you lose God’s favor.
And it’s about Esau and how he sold his birthright for a bowl of stew. It later says, even though Esau repented with tears, what was done, couldn’t be undone. And the same can be true with America.

I’m a bible believing Christian but this out of scope.

How is it out of scope?
You train a society to follow every government edict. You train them to keep their businesses closed, even if it bankrupts them, while you allow liquor stores to stay open.
You train them to believe that churches are non essential, but pot shops are essential.
You train people to wear masks and tell them it’s selfish and dangerous not to wear them, then you condone and encourage thousands of rioters to flood the streets, many without mask and zero social distancing, and you applaud it.
You train the citizens to hate police and convince them they’d be safer without them, yet demonize those trying to protect their property with guns.
No, it’s all part of the conditioning process to make citizens frightened and eager to accept anything the government deems necessary. And if they say chips or marks are necessary, we’ll just go along with that too.

I was reading the OT Genesis today. The story of Joseph is one of the most heart wrenching books of the OT with the exception of Job. His bothers sell him into bondage and Joseph becomes the 2nd most powerful man in Egypt. Joseph is blessed with God’s promise of prosperity for being faithful to God and for also being merciful to his brothers. These sons of Jacob/Israel in turn become the 12 tribes of the OT......it’s frankly amazing.

A mythology thread.

Cool

In any other context except religion, actually believing in what you wrote would qualify a person for psychosis. One day in the distant future, religious nonsense like a second coming won't get a free pass.
