1 | Is Saddam the anti-christ? | Revelation | Jokerman64 | 76249 | ||
Hi, I'm new to these forums... I think I remember hearing that the anti-christ would be a beast that came back from the dead after a mortal wound to the head? I don't know how the prophesies in the books work but could this be figurative? Because Saddam pretty much was all but destroyed in the Gulf war...(Like a mortal wound to the head.) He kind of is rising again now... This would fit with the anti-christ thing right? :-/ Thanks. -Tim- |

2 | Is Saddam the anti-christ? | Revelation | Orvee | 78866 | ||
That seems to make sense right now, but there's also one thing. In reading the Left Behind books, it seemed to be that first of all, the rapture would take place before the anti-Christ would rise up, [the rapture] bringing all believers to heaven, and also the anti-Christ would first promise world-wide peace. Saddam is not ever promoted that kind of thing. So that's why I dont believe he is, although he is a horrible man. Orvee p.s. Hey! I'm new too! |

3 | Is Saddam the anti-christ? | Revelation | Radioman2 | 78871 | ||
Welcome to the forum! Don't be deceived about the identity of the antichrist. Over time false prophets and sensationalists have been speculating as to who the antichrist will be. They have come up with everything from Hitler to Stalin to Prince Charles of England. No offense to you is intended, Orvee. But just because the Left Behind books seem to promote the doctrine of a pre-trib, pre-antichrist rapture, this does not mean the doctrine is true. On the other hand, it is absurd that someone on this forum (not you, sir) keeps making remarks about writers of fiction, remarks that imply that the Rapture, Great Tribulation, etc. are inventions of writers of fiction. To imply that these doctrines were unknown until the publication of the Left Behind series in the 1990s is absurd. It is totally ludicrous. |
