Question
Dear Elder Greg,

                I have been blessed by God with the Holy Ghost. I feel like I am a minor Prophetess, for this generation and sadly I started to notice that most people are looking for signs and wonders as fore told in the bible.

The United States is basically irrelevant to the prophecies. There is not a single prophecy in the Bible that refers to us (other than possibly one very vague reference to the "western isles"). Like many others, I expect the US to fall very soon and revert to a type of barbaric feudalism. We simply don't matter.

The only degree to which I see US involvement in the prophecies at all is that our demise is probably what prompts the EU to take up the mantle of Western Power. The Antichrist will rise from the EU (possibly from the Greek isles, and be Jewish -- otherwise the Jews would never accept him as their Moshiach, which they will according to the prophets, including Jesus< OUR LORD). So... it doesn't matter about red and blue states etc.

The ONLY way to determine the identity of the Rex Mundi is by his fulfillment of the Biblical prophecies. Thus far if he is active on the world scene he has not chosen to reveal himself. Which I dont understand why others are picking Barack Obama or W.E.Bush as the antichrist. He will possibly show up in 2012! The Bible states in revealation, that an Antichrist will rise seven years before the end of the world.

*The man of sin (anti-christ) will show up, and bring a sort of peace for a time, jew/arab will .... ok the world cant end in 2012 cause it works like this, the last christians that stand up to the end will be rewarded and knowing that Jesus and his heavenly hosts will clean up the old earth and make it new again!

Some states that Current figures show they will achieve this 200,000,000 man army by 2020!

2012 (MMXII) will be a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calender...

MAKE NO MISTAKE! THE WAR BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HEZBOLLAH IS A DIVERSION SET UP BY IRAN.

IRAN MUST BE STOPPED FROM BUILDING A NUCLEAR WEAPON AND ALL REPORTS INDICATE BY AUG 22 2006, IRAN WILL HAVE ENOUGH ENRICHED URANIUM TO BUILD BETWEEN 1-3 NUCLEAR MISSILES, WHICH THEY WILL LAUNCH AT ISRAEL AND POSSIBLY USA FORCES IN IRAQ.

THE NUCLEAR CLOCK IS RUNNING

11:58:59

THE BIBLE CODE SAYS 5766 (2006)
IS THE "YEAR OF THE BEAST".

IF THIS MEANS ANTICHRIST WILL ACTUALLY DECLARE HIMSELF ON THE WORLD SCENE IN 5766, THEN ANTICHRIST WILL BE HERE BEFORE SEPT 23 2006, WHEN THE HEBREW CALENDAR CHANGES TO 5767. By all means nothing happened? So where is he?

Many claim: The following is a possible scenario showing

"The Great Tribulation (of seven years) starting in 2006 AD and ending in 2013 AD. It is developed from many Bible Codes paralleled with Revelation and some very coincidental dates that will occur between 2006 and 2013 AD".

Well, my guesses were was President Bush the AC? AND now Obama is being called the AC? For 3.5 years, there will be peace. Antichrist will be assassinated,BUT ARISE IN HIS DEATH!They basically predicted that in 2012 the celestial bodies will align!

The BIBLE Has Predicted that as the Anti Christ tries to Manipulate the nature and God! He tries to decieve everyone even christians!And now many are saying,

My thought - These guys are saying that the Antichrist will be from Syria, can't people stop making dates for Christ return?

I just feel that people have to stop guessing we will know when the time comes, I just feel in my own mind and thoughts that we should follow scripture and stop pinpointing who the AC is! For the bible says NO ONE WILL KNOWETH THE DAY OR HOUR BUT THE FATHER ONLY NOT EVEN THE CELESTIAL BEINGS IN HEAVEN! I just think it is sad how ENDTIMERS which is what I call them are placing and making dates for the second coming they have to stop that seriously! :-) Am I right?


Answer
Angelwishes,

You make many valid points. It is true that far too many set dates, and fall into the the trap of trying to guess when Christ will return, who is the AC, ect... So yes, you are correct. THe Bible admonishes us not to do this...

Mt. 24:36
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

John 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Let us keep eyes faith fully focused upon Christ, and His finished work on the Cross.

Please let me know if this helps, or if you have any further questions.
