In Daniel 9:26-27 we read:and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;The fulfillment occurred in history when the Roman legions under Titus Vespasian destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 A.D. This reference to the Romans in Daniel 9:26 is one of several reasons why most Bible scholars view the future Prince that shall come as a Roman, or European. |

Get the Point?
We believe that the Anti-Christ will not and cannot be revealed while the Church, the body of Christ is present here on earth.
II Thessalonians 2:7 " For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. "
|
After the restrainer is " snatched out " The Anti-Christ WILL rise to power, maybe immediately....or maybe after a period of time....And He shall confirm the " convenant " with many for one week: ( 7 years ) Daniel 9:27 Their temple will be rebuilt, they will resume their sacrifices, They may think that their " Messiah " has come. But he will break this treaty half way through. ( threescore and two weeks )
Then,if you excuse the expression....
" ALL HELL WILL THEN BREAK LOOSE "
Then Jesus sez:
Matthew 24:15" When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, ( whoso readeth, let him understand: )V:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: V:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: V:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. V:19 And woe unto those that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days ! V:20 But pray ye that your flight be not be in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: V: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. " |
The above passage is believed to be specifically to a time of the rapture( caught up )of the church. As it also explains what is to follow after that event takes place( great tribulation ).
From the Abomination of Desolation,
there are three and a half years remaining.
This is the " Great Tribulation " ( The time Anti-Christ reveals his plot. )
It will be for a " time and times and a half a time " ...1260 days...
This is when the Anti-Christ will really show his true colors...
He will require ALL to worship him, or pay the price !
Revelation 13:16 " And he causeth all, both small and the great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: V:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. V:18 Here is wisdom, Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.( 666 ) " |
The ANTI-CHRIST will not only be empowered by SATAN himself, But he will also have a sidekick. The FALSE PROPHET, this un-holy trinity is spoken of many times in Revelation.
But their END WILL COME !
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image, These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. |
Revelation 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.

Whose side do you want to be on ???
Don't wait until it's too late. If you hear the truth NOW and refuse to accept it, then it's a mistake, and you will then be deceived later
according to II Thessalonians 2:8,9,10,11,12
V:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: V:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, V:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. V:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: V:12 That they all might be dammed who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Whose side have YOU chosen to be on ?
