Wow, so many problems for such a little post.
There is no “The Antichrist” ever mentioned in the bible. Where do you come up with this stuff—oh I know you have your handy dandy premil instruction guide that tells you all these things. LOL
The only mention of antichrist is in 1 & 2 john and each time it refers to not a single overarching antichrist, but multiple antichrists which are apostate Christians.
Those that are "against Christ" are anti-Christs. There will be one who will stand out against all others, otherwise known as the Beast in Rev.13. He will give to all "his mark."
In the Daniel passage I quoted to you:
HE shall confirm the covenant for one week. The he is the antichrist.
Many prophesies have double fulfillments. This is one of them. It was partially fulfilled at the coming and death of Christ. It will be completely fulfilled at the time of the Tribulation.
Note the passage speaks in terms of weeks, or groups of sevens. One "week" is one grouping of seven years.
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people --490 years.
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: (69 weeks) the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. (Daniel 9:25)
--Beginning from the decree that went forth for Nehemiah to rebuild the walls and the Temple (Neh.2) right until Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Christ died, was, according to the calculations of Sir Robert Anderson, 69 weeks.
70 weeks are determined upon THY people.
The passage deals with the nation of Israel, and God is not finished with them yet. There is one more week yet to come. That which is described in verse 27 has not happened. It is the 70th week, the last seven years, The Tribulation Period, the time when The Beast, The Man of Sin, The Antichrist, will desecrate the Temple in the midst of that week.
Your view of the 70 weeks requires a gap that is now four times as long as the 490 year period is—that is a whopper of a gap. Kinda blows the whole thing up doesn’t it.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that
man of sin be revealed,
the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that
he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)
--This is the Antichrist. He sits in the Temple during The Tribulation, that Temple which he himself has desecrated and now rules from. He has proclaimed himself as god, and the people are so deceived that they now believe him.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12)
--The lie that they believed was that the Antichrist was God.
Just like you have yet to produced even the hint of a verse that says Christ will come back bodily or anything other than a soon return—read that this generation as in 70 AD you can't find any bible verses that say there will be a gap in the 70 weeks it is a fantasy of premil dreaming to make their fantasy work. You also can't find a single verse that says there will be a one world ruler called an Antichrist.
Rebuild a temple LOL, the temple of Ezekiel has been examined and it would be impossible to build because it is not describing a building, but the new covenant—Christianity.
DJK you have gotten unusually sloppy with your posts tonight.
I think I have given you enough to chew on for awhile.
The fact that you reject Acts 1:1-10 is sad. It is irrefutable evidence of both a physical ascension and a physical return of Christ.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that,
when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (1 John 3:2)
--Spirits are not seen. Christ will appear in body. We shall be like him.
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. (Mark 8:38)
--Will you be ashamed??
He is coming physically, in the glory of his father, with the holy angels, and furthermore:
Every eye shall see him:
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (Revelation 1:7)
--It can't be more physical than this. How is this possible unless it is a physical resurrection.
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; (Titus 2:13)
A hope is unseen. When Christ appears in body, our hope will be no more. The statement would make no sense if it wasn't a physical resurrection.
Evidence to the above Scripture:
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. (Romans 8:24-25)
"Hope that is seen is not hope." Thus Christ must come physically for our hope to be realized.
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. (Romans 8:23)
--We wait for the redemption of our bodies, that is our own resurrection which will only take place when Christ returns physically. As he physically was resurrected so will we also.
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, (2 Thessalonians 1:7)
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: (2 Thessalonians 1:8)
--Is it simply a spirit that is going to take vengeance?
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (2 Thessalonians 1:9)
--His presence is real, physical.
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. (2 Thessalonians 1:10)
--He will be admired! How, if he doesn't have a body???
Enough for a while?
