Bible Question:
My intentions are not to offend anyone. I would just like to see this in Scripture for myself before I believe it. If anyone is offended, please forgive me. I keep getting these forwarded emails with "According to Revelation" in the subject box. This email describes the antichrist as a male of muslim descent, in his 40's, who will deceive nations with his persuasive language, and with a "MASSIVE Christ-like appeal." Of course this email is suggesting a certain senator running for president right now. My question is where are these people getting all of these specific details about the antichrist and where is it in Scripture? ah |
Bible Answer: Greetings ah, I cannot fathom where they get their information from, but I agree with you, they seem to have an ulterior motive related to the election. I can however show you what the Bible says about the antichrist. In the Old Testament, the prophets Isaiah, Ezekiel and Daniel provided some information for us. Daniel received a prophecy from God revealing that the Antichrist will confirm a treaty that will bring peace to Israel. Then, after 3.5 years, the Antichrist will set himself up in the Jewish Temple and proclaim that he is God. First, the Antichrist will be Israel’s protector before he attempts to destroy everyone who refuses to worship him. Daniel referred to the Antichrist as "the leader who will come, the little horn, the beast and the stern faced king." In Daniel 11, he also referred to the Antichrist as the king of the North. In Ezekiel 38 and 39 the Antichrist is called Gog, the chief prince, from the land of Magog. Isaiah referred to the Antichrist as the Assyrian and the king of Assyria. One of Isaiah’s prophecies tells how Israel will at first rely on the Assyrian until he beats them with the club of God’s wrath. Isaiah’s prophecy also says that a remnant of Israel will turn to God and be saved from the Antichrist. When Isaiah refers to the Antichrist as the Assyrian, he is indicating from where the Antichrist will come. Jesus, John and Paul spoke about the Antichrist. Jesus called the Antichrist 'the abomination that causes desolation.' Paul called the Antichrist 'the man of lawlessness' and 'the lawless one.' However, neither Jesus nor Paul indicated from where the Antichrist would come. Neither did they or any of the OT prophets indicate how many years old he would be. In Revelation 13, John said that the Antichrist and his kingdom would be like a lion, a leopard and a bear. Daniel used these likenesses for the Babylonian, Media-Persian and Greek Empires. The Bible does indicate that the Antichrist will come from the Middle East. The ruler who will come is the Antichrist which is confirmed in Daniel 9:27. Daniel identifies the leader who will come this way. “He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him" Daniel indicates that the Antichrist will come from the Middle East: Part of this prophecy was fulfilled in 70 A.D. when the Roman army destroyed Jerusalem and the Jewish sanctuary. According Josephus, the people that destroyed the sanctuary were predominately Syrian. Some people have incorrectly assumed that, because it was a Roman army, the people who destroyed the city and the sanctuary were Romans. However, in that time, it was customary for the Roman army to use soldiers from the lands that they had conquered. In this campaign the Roman troops were predominately Syrians. Therefore, the ruler who will come will be of Syrian national origin. Syria, during that time, included some of the territory of present day Turkey, Syria and Lebanon. |
