Watch for the beast!

[robycop3]

This came up in another thread. Jesus said He would return immediatewly after the great trib, so we know His return is not "right around the corner" as the trib hasn't yet happened.

In Revelation, we see the beast will be in power when the trib comes, and upon Jesus' return, the beast will send his army to fight Him. Thus, the beast must be here before Jesus' return.

As per Rev. 3:10, I believe the rapture will occur before the beast unleashes his full evil upon the world. But I believe he could well be here & likely in some, if not full, power before the rapture.

So, what should we watch for?

We should watch for a charismatic man who becomes universally admired, a man who can get along well with members of every religion and leaders of nations of conflicting idealogies. I believe he will temporarily bring peace between Moslem & Jew, Protestant & Catholic in Ireland, & even Sunni & Shiite Moslems. He will have few seeming enemies in the world. He will be the greatest human genius of all time.

When he reaches full power, his reign will last about 7 years. I doubt if we who are now Christians will be around for it, as the rapture will take us away But that man will have an explanation for the disappearance of millions, which the world will believe & accept. That'll pretty well eliminate almost all opposition to the "mark of the beast" before it becomes mandatory.

So, let's watch out for this man. However,

Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”(Luke 21:28)

As an Australian, when the pub gets closed to you, you know Great Tribulation is here. It’s the surest sign. Forget beasts and temples and stuff.

It’s here fellas.

 

[Marooncat79]

Are the street cops still out there?

Nupe. Just a forerunner.

New Law. If you argue with people in shops asking to see your vax passport, or they feel offended by your language, you can get 1 year in prison, $50,000 fine.
I think after global communism is in place, then the anti christ figure will emerge.

 

[Iconoclast]

It is better to Look for Jesus as the Kingdom is spreading worldwide.

Yeah they are.

This is the start, but the start means it’s here.

That might be going on in Australia, but not here. Most people here are reluctant to start an argument with a stranger, as there are so many people packing ole Rosco.

They have other ways, they’ll just cancel and clean out your bank account, evict you if you haven’t paid your land tax. Or make the Mark a prerequisite before payment of taxes.
They’ll stop your medication..
They’ll come at you sideways, they have a complete record of your life and transactions.
People here have had their houses sold from under them to pay fines, the government can even take your superannuation.

No one complained when my contract was cancelled.

Guns don’t count when they cut your power and water off.

Not being able to buy or sell means you will be not only cut off from modern conveniences, but civilisation itself.
Whatever transactions you make from day to day, will no longer be possible.

Won't happen til the beast comes to power. He will be one man, with a mitacle-working false prophet as his sidekick. The people will willingly give him his power, as will 7 rulers in Europe. He will subdue 3 others.

That's why many people at first believed Hitler was the beast. The people loved him & voted him in. several neighboring rulers gave him their power. He subdued those of Norway, Denmark, & Yugoslavia with little trouble. No one could stop him militarily til after he defeated France. Then, his demon left him, & on his own, he was a total failure. This won't be the case with the true beast.

You dispute Christ's words with such ease, unabashed, and make Him out to be a liar. The 'great tribulation', synonymous with ' Jacob's trouble', is done already.:

23 Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished. Lu 21

21 for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. Mt 24

19 For those days shall be tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be.
30 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished. Mk 13

His return is not "right around the corner"

Right. Happened already:

40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
45 And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. Mt 21

No, it hasn't yet started. We see the beast will be in power when it occurs. if it's already occurred, who was the beast & the miracle-working false prophet?

23 Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished. Lu 21

Right. Happened already:

Oh, REALLY? When did Jesus return in great power & glory, SEEN BY ALL? That event would hardly go unnoticed!

No one argues that the Old Covenant is over except Orthodox Jews.

For one who says he's not a pret, you sure do repeat a lotta pret garbage!

Yes...that generation did indeed pass away

 

[robycop3]

And all those things weren't accomplished.

So, "this generation" will be the one that sees all thoose things accomplished.

That.is adding to scripture of course.
it was that generation that Jesus spoke to face to face. They saw it before they died

America will be destroyed economically long beforehand, and the structures of control will be in place for full communism.
Hyper inflation, and supply chain halt and disruption, weaken the entire population to third world levels making the transition happen fast. It’s already begun.

Train robbery of freight in California, lawlessness, homelessness, borderlessness means citizenship and nation mean nothing.

Your democrat party members will be the new communist party leaders. They organised the whole managed decline.

The Dems will suffer a resounding defeat in this yeat's elections, with the GOP gaining control of Congress, as well as several more state Governorships & Legislatures, thus able to stop Biden's liberal agenda.
