Despite what many believes in the Church and abroad concerning what they have been taught or have been handed down through
the Church age about the
antichrist or beast is not lining up with scriptures of the Bible and time.But rather what is lining up with sciptures of the Bible is the reality of whats going on right now before our very eyes on national television through the media.The conflict that have been going on about three weeks concerning Israel and Hamas.This is a conflict of deep hatred and hostility against Israel that have built up through manr years and decades.Not just in Palistine but throughout the Middle East.This deep haterd is fuel by none other that the beast or antichrist.The Church has given the name"antichrist" to the one in
Revelation that is going to go against God's people.Rev.13 Chapt.If you will notice in this chapter John says the beast instead of antichrist.He says he saw a beast rise up out of the sea in verse 1 and his desciption of him was like the beast(horn) of Daniel 7th Chapt.This beast will make war with the saints.The correct name is Beast.In Daniel 3rd Chapt is the first mentioning of the beast with the great image then secondly is Daniel 7th Chapt.. Both of these books interpreted the beast as kings.So the antichrist that is mention by the Church is really a king.These beast which are kings and kings have kingdoms or nations you could say.They are what you would call "oppressors" that was use by God when he wanted to oppress a people or nation.Israel as we all know came into a covenant with God through his commandments.In Deuteronomy 28 chapt. God spelled out to them the blessings and cursings of this covenant.If they hearken unto his voice and keep his commandments blessings upon blessings they would receive.On the other hand if they hearken not unto him and keep not his commandments cursings upon cursings they would receive.One of the cursings was in Deut28:49 where he said ; The lord shall bring a nation against thee(read the rest of scipture also 48-51),This was a beast and God use them specifically to oppress Israel or any other nation he wanted to.As I said previously in Daniel 7:1-17 the beast arises out of the sea in the verse3 the same like Rev.13:1.Later in this chapter of Daniel they interpreted the beast to be kings and a king is over a kingdom or nation.Later in the chapter verse 21 says;the horn which was interpreted as a beast made war with the saints of the Most High,also verse 22.The saints that he is talking about is God's chosen natural people Israel.(in my book "What the book of Revelation is all about and an article here at Shvoong I explain this)The Church is not God's natural chosen people but his chosen spiritual people.The beast don't have the beef with God's chosen spiritual people the Church.The beef is with Israel.Daniel 7:25 descibes the mind set of the beast ,the hatred,hostility and purpose.Also in Rev.13 chapt says the same.In Rev.17:16 in give another description of his intent;these shall hate the whore and burn her with fire which the whore is interpreted as jerusalem the land of Israel in this same chapter..Listen to the national news as they broadcast about the middle east and Israel.You can't but recognize the strong hatred and hostility that have been brewing and building up against Israel.Hezbollah and Hamas is a terrorist organization that has been organize for the destruction of Israel.They proclaims that Israel does not have the right to exist.Some nations have develope weapons of misiles and rockets for the capabilty of range to be fired into the land of Israel.Right now as I have said as I write this article the conflict between Israel and Hamas is because Hamas fired and continue to fire rockets into their land.Israel has every right to defend herslf.But yet when it comes down to it Israel is in fault and they are taking the lives of innocent people.Another attempt to inflame that hatred and hostility throughout the world against Israel.When the blame should be put on those that started it and continue to right up to this present time.They are operating under the spirit of the beast of Daniel which most of the Church calls the antichrist.This lets us know that the spirit of the Beast or antichrist present is mostly in the middle east.How we know that they are beasts and is operating under the antichrist is they have the same thing in mind that is to try to take out and the destroy Israel.In Daniel 7_26-28 we read that prophecy already have foretold the outcome of these wars and that is Israel will prevail and come out victoriuosly.According to whats happening now in the middle east which is in accord with the scriptures of the Bible you could only come to the conclusion that the beef that the beast have is with with Israel and not the Church.It's not with the United States either.How the United States will come into conflict with the beast(antichrist) is because of their continuing stand and suppot of Israel.This we are seeing unfold before our very eyes.
