The AntiChrist in the Last Days

January 7, 2017 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

1 John 2:17-19
Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

pope vicarius filii dei antiochus epiphanes was an anti-Christ Emperor Napolean Bonaparte was an anti-Christ Adolf Hitler antiChrist

The Syrian ruler Antiochus Epiphanes decided to replace the Jewish god with the Greek god, Zeus. He demanded that all people under his rule abandon their own traditions and ideas, and accept Greek beliefs and culture.

Napolean Bonaparte, a type of Antichrist.

“What luck for rulers that men do not think”
– Adolf Hitler

“They have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god who cannot save.”

The False Prophet

January 7, 2017 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

There are many false prophets, but there is only one who is partnered with the anti-Christ in the Book of Revelation.

His fate is to be thrown into the Lake of Fire by an angel appointed by Jesus at the time of the Second Coming, which is at the end of the Tribulation.

 

The false prophet is mentioned as such, 3 times in the book of Revelation.

Rev 16:13 (KJV) “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.”

Rev 19:20 (KJV) “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.”

Rev 20:10 (KJV) “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”

Satanism and the End Times

January 6, 2017 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

the author of death, the serpent satanRomans 16:20
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

Genesis 3:5
“For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and Homeyou will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Genesis 3:13
Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

Genesis 3:14-15
So the LORD God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this, “Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

From the front page of The Church of Satan their ‘About Us’ statement proclaims “We Satanists are our own Gods”…

The originators of Satanism are primarily Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) who combined occult magic, drug use, and sexual aberrations into a system with one rule, “Do whatever you want” and Anton LaVey (1930-1997 ) who published The Satanic Bible in 1969 and who also started ‘The Church of Satan’ in the same decade. LaVey and his followers are secular humanists for whom Satan is a symbol of the power of the self and their rejection of Christianity. Do either of these men look like someone you’d feel comfortable enough with to invite to spend the night in your guestroom?

The Baphomet or Satanic pentagram is pointed downward to accomodate the outline of a goat’s head.

 

 

 

 

satanic goat with caduceusThe Beast sits atop the world. The moons may also suggest that this is the Prince of Darkness. The moon is also an accurate metaphor for Satan, masquerading as a ‘source of light’ it can only reflect the true light down upon those living in darkness, and it pales in comparison.

The relatively modern trend of removing God from our Government, Courthouse, school rooms, etc. under the Constitutional moniker of ‘Separation of Church and State’ is unquestionably in alignment with the tenets of Satanism since Satanists proudly proclaim that they “Pledge Allegiance to NO God”

 

 

2 Corinthians 11:3
But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

Revelation 12:9
The great dragon was hurled down–that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Revelation 20:2
He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.
So the End has already been written and can NOT be changed. Satan will be sent to Hell with his demons. Why anyone would choose to align themselves with a loser is beyond me.

C.S. Lewis. In The Screwtape Letters Lewis noted that people often either dismiss as mere nonsense the devil’s existence and interaction with mankind, or they believe but have an excessive interest in him (either of which error delights the devil immensely)….

Here is an article titled ‘The Many Faces of Satanism’ by Craig S. Hawkins, published in Forward Magazine in 1986 (now known as The Christian Research Journal ) that I’d recommned reading if you’re interested.

John 8:44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law”– Aleister Crowley

“Do your own thing.”motto of our culture
“Whatever works for you.”motto of our culture

 

And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples asked him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said to them, When you pray, say,

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins; as we forgive those who sin against us.
And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil

– Jesus Christ

Matthew 25:31-46

When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

“He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.

The Pope, the Antichrist, and the King of Kings

April 18, 2005 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

As I write this the ‘Princes of the Church’ are sequestering themselves in the Sistine Chapel to choose a new Pope. I’ve been reading a collection of sermons by Charles Spurgeon called ‘Spiritual Warfare in a Believer’s Life’, and something I read this morning has prompted me to quote Spurgeon,

“Satan…has made men accept a stone for bread. Many have held, and still hold, that it is possible to find an infallible foundation in the Pope or other spiritual leaders…how any mind can by any possible contortion twist itself into a posture in which it will be capable of accepting such a belief is one of the mysteries of humanity. The notion of infallibility residing in mortal man is worthy of a madhouse and scarcely deserves to be seriously discussed.”

In Latin, one of the titles for the Pope is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’ which translates into ‘Ruler In Place of the Son of God’… In Greek the same can be said of the title ‘Antichrist’, where the prefix anti- means both ‘instead of’ and ‘against’. Personally I do not believe that a Pope will be the Antichrist spoken of in the Book of Revelation, however, I have no doubt that the notion of an ‘infallible’ man ruling in place of Christ is truly blasphemous and fallacious. In the not too distant future, the Son of Perdition (aka Antichrist in Revelation) will demand that the entire world worship him as their savior from within the soon to be rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem. This is the moment at which all Jews are warned to flee from the city.

Matthew 24:15-18
“So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel–let the reader understand– then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak.

Why does Hollywood do it?
Hopefully lack of viewership will drive a stake into the heart of a new TV mini series called ‘Revelations’ that will soon debut on NBC. The story line falls much more on the side of ‘just plain stupid’ than ‘offensive’ or ‘blasphemous’. Staying true to character, the powers that be in Hollywood single out one religious belief to mock, which is Christianity of course. It’s highly unlikely that we’ll ever see a tv mini series that is inspired by a mockery of the Koran or Torah. For the record, the Second Coming of Jesus will not be an infant that is saved from a shipwreck in Greece, but all the Earth will see Him as He comes to Judge the world.

Revelation 19:11
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of
the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

If you personally know the Executive Producers of Revelations, Gavin Polone and David Seltzer, don’t stand too close to them because it’s just a matter of time until lightening strikes if they continue to play golf in the rain. There will be no escaping having to answer for adding and taking away from God’s Word.

Deuteronomy 12:31
You must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods. See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it.

Coincidence?
You decide…
I don’t know what to make of it, but I realized something unusual about the 2 huge earthquakes which have hit Sumatra in the last 3 months and I think it’s worth mentioning. The first quake generated the Tsunami which killed somewhere around 250,000 people… it struck on December 26th, 2004 which is the day after Christmas, registering a huge 9.0 on the Richter scale. The next big quake struck on March 28th, 2005 which was the day after Easter this year, it registered a huge 8.7 on the Richter scale. Christmas & Easter, the days that Christians celebrate the birth of Christ and the resurrection of Christ from the tomb. Hmmm, interesting, huh? According to the USGS website, these were 2 of of the 10 most powerful quakes in the world in the last 100 years! And the largest pair of quakes in 200 years. Like I said, I don’t know what to make of it, but it’s something to think of.

Matthew 24:7-8
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are {merely} the beginning of birth pangs.

April 1, 2005

A particular sub-headline on the Drudge Report caught my eye this morning, it reads “Koran scholar: US will cease to exist in 2007”. No, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke. Palestinian scholar Ziad Silwadi (who is not a world-renowned scholar of the Koran ) claims through his study that the US will be inundated by tsunamis on both coasts in 2007 as punishment from Allah for the country’s history of heinous sins. There’s only 1 problem with Ziad’s prophecy… there is NO precedent of ANY prophecy unique to the Koran having ever come true. Only God knows the future, therefore, only God can reveal the future, and He has done so several hundred times in the Old Testament (aka Tanakh). While the US will certainly cease to exist someday, it certainly won’t happen the way Ziad imagines it. I just don’t understand how any rational, thinking person could ever choose the Koran as a holy book when compared to The Bible. I can only conclude that they haven’t made the comparison, but have chosen to believe the lie.

What’s really special about Ziad’s interpretation is that he draws a parallel between these upcoming tsunamis and the parted waters of the Red Sea crashing down upon Pharoh and his army that were in pursuit of WHO? The Jews! Also, check this out, I happened to underline this passage in my Bible a few days ago:

Isaiah 51:10
Was it not you who dried up the sea,
the waters of the great deep,
who made a road in the depths of the sea,
so that the redeemed might cross over?
The ransomed of the Lord will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

This is REAL prophecy. The passage not only speaks of God safely saving the Jews from Pharoh some 4000 years ago, but it also speaks of the future, when the “ransomed of the Lord” who are all those who were purchased by the blood of Jesus, those who accept Jesus the Jew as their Messiah, as God who came in the flesh and obediently died on the cross, as the sacrificial Lamb who takes away the sins of the world for those who believe, AND then rose from the dead 3 days later in victory over death. These are the ransomed of the Lord who will live forever in the real heaven, in the presence of God, in peace with joy, gladness, singing and no more pain or suffering at all.

This is the Good News. This is Salvation. And it can be yours too, all you have to do is ask for it.

God Reigns.

Amen

Should I love Osama bin Laden?

May 25, 2004 By Trumpeter Leave a Comment

I have to admit that I have trouble reconciling “love your enemies” with the need to stop those who murder in the name of God…I’m specifically thinking of Osama bin Laden. Its hard for me to not want men like him dead. I’d be less than honest if I said otherwise. Last Sunday I had a daydream of Old Testament Israelite warriors obediently slaying their enemies, but rather than blood lust, these dutiful men had tears streaming down their faces as they put their enemies to the sword. God doesn’t take pleasure in punishing evil doers, but His justice is righteous and perfect. Christians are instructed to hate the sin but love the sinner. When it comes to notorius murderers like Osama bin Laden I find myself in need of some other point of reference to bring my heart and mind anywhere near feeing love for him. Its much easier to hate those who hate. What helps is thinking of what he was like when he was a little boy, laughing and playing, crying when he skinned his knees. I imagine God must see all His creation this way. How much does it grieve God to punish those who have chosen Satan as their father? The father of lies.

Proverbs 24:17-20

Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from him.

Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of the wicked, for the evil man has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.

In the days ahead I’ll most likely have something to say about these current events:

The beheading of Nick Berg. Curious Al-Qaeda connection. Questions loom.

The mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers. Humiliation. Degradation, but torture? Post quotes of liberals.

The State of Massachusetts legalized ‘gay marriage’ on May 17th.

NBC decides to NOT air President Bush’s televised address to the American people on the Iraq War on May 24th.
