The True Identity of The Antichrist (Part 1)

Hello brothers and sisters and hello to all who are new to my channel. I told you all that I would be putting up a message regarding the identity of the Antichrist and I have been working on it. I got a little busy and then I got sick and so I had to push the message to the back burner….And speaking of being sick, I am feeling 100% recovered now, thanks to those of you who prayed for me and thanks to the power of the Almighty God, our holy Father.

So today I am finally bringing you the message on the Antichrist. But firstly, I want you all to know that I am not focused on looking for the Antichrist and you shouldn’t be either. We should be looking for Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. However, I am giving this message for many reasons. Some who hear this message may be left behind when the Rapture takes place and they need to know who the Antichrist is. Also, some don’t believe the Antichrist can be revealed until the Rapture takes place and the Holy Spirit is removed. But I tell you that he has already been revealed to the children of God. However, some of you don’t want to believe that and you don’t want to see the evidence. The third reason is that I feel the Lord urging me to put this information out there because the Antichrist is going to rise very soon. God speaks to us in many ways, but recently, He has spoken to us through signs in the sky. Two of those signs produced the following images.

In the first photo, it looks like devil horns rising up from the sea. I believe this was a solar eclipse that happened in the Middle East. In the second photo, it looks like a serpent or dragon coming out of the clouds. I believe that in these images, God is reminding us that Satan is about to be cast down and the Antichrist is about to rise up.

Now, when I share with you the evidence regarding the identity of the Antichrist, some of you are going to say, “No, no, no! It can’t be him.” But I just want you to listen and hold your objections until the end. Also, since there is so much information to get through, this will be a multi-part message or series pertaining to the subject of the Antichrist. And I feel that in order to understand who the Antichrist is, we need to first talk a little bit about Mystery Babylon or the kingdom of the last days. So I hope that you will hang with me.

Lets look at some scriptures.

In Daniel 2, King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream and he wants someone to interpret this dream but none of his servants can. However, Daniel hears about this and he volunteers to interpret the dream. During the night, God gives Daniel a dream which reveals to him Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. Then the next day, Daniel goes before Nebuchadnezzar and he gives him the interpretation.

Daniel 2:31-35

“Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.

In verse 38, Daniel tells Nebuchadnezzar that he is the head of gold. His kingdom was the Babylonian kingdom. Which, by the way, Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylonian kingdom was the second time the Babylonian kingdom had risen up. The first time was with Nimrod who was the first king to rule over an earthly empire which united all people from all nations of the Earth. He was the first foreshadowing of the Antichrist.

Daniel 2:39-43

“After you, another kingdom will arise, inferior to yours. (This second kingdom was the Medo-Persian kingdom which started with King Darius.) Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth. (This third kingdom was the Grecian kingdom of Alexander The Great.) Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. (The fourth kingdom was the Roman kingdom which existed during the time of Jesus. This kingdom became separated in two with the western kingdom belonging to the Romans and the Eastern kingdom belonging to the Byzantines of Turkey.) Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. (This final kingdom is a kingdom which incorporates some of the ways of Rome, Egypt, Babylon, Greece…pretty much all of the former empires which ruled as monarchies and this kingdom will also be one of democracy, which makes it brittle.) And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

The reason these people do not remain united is because they have different religious beliefs, different views on life, and different political views which keep them torn apart. This final kingdom is both Europe and America. I’ve done videos before, showing why America is Mystery Babylon. If you would like to hear my views on that, you can find those videos within my catalog.

So then in Daniel 7, during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar’s grandson, Daniel is given a dream where he sees four beasts. These four beasts are the same as four of the kingdoms which were of the statue.

Daniel 7:3-7

And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.

And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

The first beast was like a lion which had eagle’s wings. This beast is Babylon, the kingdom that was ruling during the time of Daniel. This reminds me of the verse in Ezekiel 38 that says ‘Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil?’ That is Ezekiel 38:13 and the young lions in that verse is Great Britain and the nations that were birthed out of Great Britain; one of those nations being America. And of course, the eagle represents the United States. So I just find that using the lion and the eagle to represent Babylon is eerie and may be God’s way of hinting at who is going to be the last days’ Mystery Babylon.

The second beast, who was the bear, was Medo-Persia. The third beast, who is the leopard with wings, was Greece. It had four heads which produced the fourth beast. The four heads would be four kingdoms that would come after the kingdom of Greece had fallen. Those four kingdoms were Rome, Turkey, Europe, and America; Rome and Turkey being the two legs of the statue and Europe and America being the two feet. But then Daniel saw that this fourth beast would have ten horns which represent ten kings. It is thought that these ten kings are possibly the United Nations or perhaps ten kings that will be appointed at the rise of the New World Order, after destruction comes upon the Earth, at the start of the Tribulation.

 Daniel 7:24

And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

What does it mean to subdue? ‘To conquer and bring into subjection’, ‘To bring under control’, and ‘to reduce the intensity or degree of’. So the three kings that are going to be subdued, will be conquered or brought into subjection. They will be brought under control and this king is going to reduce their intensity. I believe what that means is that he will cause them to have less power and authority.

Daniel 7:8

“While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully.

In this scripture, the three kings or horns have been uprooted and the king that uproots them is described as a little horn. This little horn speaks boastfully.

Daniel 7:25

He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.

Now we see that this little horn speaks against the Most High, which is God, and he will oppress the holy people, who are the Saints of God, he will try to change the set times and laws…I believe these set times and laws to be God’s holy feast days. In the law of God, we are to observe or celebrate His feast days and it’s obvious that this little horn is going to maybe do away with these celebrations. Also, the holy people will be given into his hands for a time, times, and half a time, which is three and a half years.

Daniel 7:11

“Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking. I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.

Daniel 8:9-10

And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.

And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven (the host being God); and it cast down some of the host (or those who belong to God) and of the stars (the angels) to the ground, and stamped upon them.

Daniel 8:11

Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host (this is Jesus), and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.

I’m going to tell you something you may or may not have ever heard before and I never realized this until last week when I was looking at my Bible notes. The daily sacrifice is truth and justice. It’s not the slaughtering of animals, which the Jews continue to do to cleanse themselves from sin. And I’ll tell you why. 1) If the Antichrist were to take away the Jewish tradition of sacrificing animals to atone for their sin, God would not care about this. He would be like, ‘That’s great! They finally stopped killing animals for their sin!’ And this would not be a problem for the holy people or for God. 2) The word ‘sacrifice’ is italicized in my KJV Bible and in the footnotes, it takes me to Psalm 119:43 and Isaiah 59:14.

Psalm 119:43

And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

Isaiah 59:14

And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

We can see here that the word ‘sacrifice’ is eluding to truth and justice in both scriptures. Now let’s read Daniel 8:12 and you’ll see this come together.

Daniel 8:12

And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

This scripture says, ‘it cast down the truth to the ground’. Our daily sacrifice is that we walk in truth and abide in God’s justice, meaning we don’t walk in the darkness of lies and dishonesty. However, this is saying that this king, this little horn is a man who lies and is unjust. He practices evil and encourages others to do the same. And this scripture says he comes against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression. What does that word mean? Webster’s Dictionary says, ‘an act, process, or instance of infringement or violation of a law, command, or duty’. So the scripture is saying that he has infringed or violated a law, a command, or a duty. So this confirms again that the daily sacrifice has to do with obeying truth and justice and this king has disobeyed and is causing others to disobey God. And in the Bible, this man is called the lawless one. So the word ‘transgression’ is where that comes from; a violator of the law.

So now, when we go back to Daniel 8:11 and we understand the daily sacrifice in this context, we have to keep the rest of the word in context and so the sanctuary is not a physically built temple, but a temple in which the Holy Spirit dwells which is within us.

I’m not saying that the Jews won’t build a new temple in Jerusalem, I still believe that they will. But God is not concerned with that and He is not concerned with what the Antichrist will do with that temple. It is the temple inside of God’s children that God is concerned with. And when we read Daniel 8:11-12, what we see is that this king is going to try to defile the place of the Holy Spirit within us.

Daniel 8:23-25

And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full (remember that these transgressors are people who violate the laws and the commands of God), a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power (you’ll see later that the power and authority he stands in is by the power and authority of Satan): and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many (this means that he will use peace as a means to bring about war, through diplomacy and we’ll see that in Revelation 6:1): he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes (who is Jesus); but he shall be broken without hand (which confirms the rock that Nebuchadnezzar saw breaking the toes of the statue).

Daniel 9:26

And after threescore and two weeks (this is 62 weeks) shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince (these are not the Saints of God, they are the people of the little horn) that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary (in this context, the scripture is referring to a physical temple); and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

This verse here is actually referring to what was going to happen in 70 A.D. when the Romans came and killed many of the Jews and destroyed the temple. When it says ‘shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself’, it’s referring to Jesus’ crucifixion. This is what took place after Daniel’s prophesied 62 weeks. The end of this war brought a desolate temple and a desolate Jerusalem. This is an already fulfilled prophecy, but it is also a parallel to what will happen in the future with the little horn and the Jews. And so the next verse in Daniel 9:27 is a future event.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (this is 7 years): and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease (the word oblation means the act of making a religious offering, something offered in worship or devotion : a holy gift offered usually at an altar or shrine), and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate (to make something desolate means to make it empty or deserted), even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (those who are without the Holy Spirit).

Matthew 24:15

“So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—

This scripture can be taken in one of two ways; either the little horn goes into the physical temple in Jerusalem and defiles it or he goes into the temple that is within the holy people of God and he defiles the place of the Holy Spirit, just as I’ve been telling you. In Mark 13:14, we will see what the abomination truly is.

“When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’ standing where it does not belong (in the Bible notes, the word ‘it’ is transcribed as ‘he’ as in a man)—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

In this verse, the abomination that causes desolation or emptiness or desertion is a man. This man is the man we’ve been talking about, whom Daniel refers to as the little horn and many people refer to as the Antichrist.

What is an abomination? According to Webster’s Dictionary, it is something regarded with disgust or hatred. So this man, the Antichrist, is regarded by God as disgusting and God hates him. This man is going to cause an emptiness in people where the Holy Spirit once dwelled or could have dwelled.

For now, I’m going to conclude the first message of this series and I will continue with this in the next video. I will be getting to the identity of the Antichrist, but I feel that it is important to go through the scriptures first so that we have an overall understanding of his character and what he will do.

In a later video, I will go through the genealogy of the Antichrist and show you that he comes from the bloodline of the former kings that are described in Revelation 17:10-11.

I hope that you have enjoyed this message and I hope that maybe you have learned something new from it. I love each and every one of you with the love of Christ. God bless you and shalom.
