Body Of Antichrist

Part IV

 

 

 

 

 

For many years, Christian Media has labored to develop an accurate perception of how the characteristics of the Spiritual realm can be recognized through the events within the earthly realm. This is an aspect of prophecy which is largely unrecognized by the corporate church, which perceives prophecy by other means.

 

Jesus made it very clear that by accurately observing the circumstances occurring in the earth, the vessels of honour should be in a position where they understand the signs of the times.

 

"And he said also to the people, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, straitway ye say, there cometh a shower; and so it is. And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? (Luke 12:54-56). 

 

Later in his ministry, when disciples of John the Baptist wanted Jesus to confirm that He is indeed the promised Saviour, He addressed the same issue.

 

"And [they] said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the Gospel preached to them" (Matthew 11:3-5). 

 

When Jesus called the Jewish priests hypocrites for not discerning the signs, these sayings were readily received by the Christians as applying to the Scribes and the Pharisees who rejected Jesus. However, because the organized corporate church refuses to see the phenomenon of Twin Timelines, where the Christian body (which is Spiritual Israel), is Sequentially Recapitulating the course of Old Covenant Israel, it is clear that we also  "have eyes, and see not" (Jeremiah 5:21).  

 

Regarding Scripture, we regularly perceive that verses dealing with the "Sea" are frequently communicating some truth about the Spiritual plane, whereas verses associated with the "Sand" (or the ground, earth, valley, etc) are addressing the way that Spiritual powers impact the creation.

 

For example, in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, John says he was "in the spirit," even as he stood upon the sand.

 

"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea" (Revelation 13:1).

 

In short, he was standing on the ground in the creation, but he "saw" what the Spirit of God wanted him to see. Although such a setting could be seen, as John was thinking about theological things and events to come in the case of this particular writing, the images were detailed and unusually exotic. I am persuaded the LORD gave him visions that were supernaturally delivered, in the same way the visions came to the prophet Daniel in the Old Testament.

 

In Daniel's case, he explained that this type of imagery was something he actually saw in visions on multiple occasions.

 

"Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed…after this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast" (Daniel 4:10, 7:7).

 

In Revelation, since we know that "beasts" are not routinely seen rising out of the sea, and the vision was quite similar to what Daniel had seen regarding a "beast," it's relatively obvious that John experienced an extraordinary series of visions that were recorded in the book of Revelation.

 

Prophecy is not the exclusive domain of the Spirit of the LORD, as the Bible repeatedly mentions false prophets. Jesus told us there would be an abundance of these in the days preceding His return.

 

"The disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us…what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" (Matthew 24:5).

Although Christ answered with many events to watch for, the very first thing He referenced was to be wary of deception.

 

"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you…[for] many false prophets shall rise, and deceive many" (Matthew 24:4,11).

 

The Bible describes an entire generation that will emerge in the last days, saying it will feature a wholesale departure from any form of decency. It rarely occurs to us the evil that permeates such a society is actually the result of the unrestrained sinful attributes that have plagued mankind ever since the fall.  

 

We tend to perceive that this evil will be external and intentional, but the reality is the entire world is caught in the snare, because the people captured by their iniquity did not recognize the opportunity to be delivered before it was too late.

 

"For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth" (Luke 21:35).

 

The believers are not immune to this process, as the many parables of Jesus told us. Some will hear the word, and grow and bear fruit; but many will not understand the urgency of consistently choosing the right course of righteousness.

 

"He that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended" (Matthew 13:20,21).

 

God has revealed the divided house of the Devil – which consists of the twin spheres of Death and Hell – was manifested in Old Covenant Israel.

 

"Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? (Luke 11:17,18).

 

Since Satan showed Jesus the kingdom of Israel (including the temple) was under his dominion, the twin hemispheres of his divided nature were manifested in Israel.

 

"And the devil said unto [Jesus]…If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine…for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it" (Luke 4:6,7,6).

 

As Old Covenant Israel was divided, the Northern tribes (then called Samaria) were destroyed first, mirroring the "Death" portion of Satan's divided mind, which led them to destruction.

 

They were later followed by the more conservative Southern tribes, through the "Hell" spirit in Judah and Jerusalem.   

 

"And I saw, when for all the causes backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, and went and played the harlot also" (Jeremiah 3:8).

 

Once again, recognizing the prophetic knowledge the Lord has issued through His Spirit and His Word, as Born Again Israel, the Christians are "doubling" the same sinful trajectory of Old Covenant Physical Israel.

 

"For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall…compass thee round…and lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee…because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation" (Luke 19:43,44).

 

As the world deteriorates around us, it is self evident the believers are not experiencing revival, even as they observe the power of the Gospel slipping away.

 

"And when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished" (Daniel 12:7).  

 

Part of the problem is Christians have been taught false doctrine that has now become tradition, through the Falling Away which was prophesied to occur. Just as Satan penetrated the temple with his wiles in the Old Testament, that apostasy has been doubled in the Christian temple, which is the body of Christ.

 

The Scripture categorically tells us that Satan will sit in the temple, and many Scripturally ignorant believers have been taught that this will be a physical Jewish temple that is yet to be rebuilt.

 

"[The Spirit of Antichrist] opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God" (II Thessalonians 2:4).

 

For two thousand years, believers have consistently expected "the" Antichrist, who they believe will arrive when the "restrainer" is removed.

 

"Only he who now [restrains] will [restrain], until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that wicked be revealed" (II Thessalonians 2:7,8).

 

Christians expect that when Satan is released by the Restrainer, he will persecute them, or they believe they will never see him as they will be "Raptured" before that, so they have missed a crucial point. The Scripture says that when Satan is released, He will enter the church, in a Sequential Recapitulation of when He entered the Old Covenant temple, and corrupted it.

 

This was when He told Jesus this authority was "delivered" unto him, and he would give it to whomsoever he chose. When the restraint that holds back the evil is removed, the "man of sin [will] be revealed" (II Thessalonians 2:3), and sadly, the believers have been taught this is "the" Antichrist. However, the verse is referring to the Flesh and Blood man, who has not fully yielded his Life to the Spirit of God, so he is still the "man of sin."

 

This is why the Devil has perpetrated the resilient False Doctrine of a final deceiver who they have dubbed "the Antichrist" – when there is not one verse that refers to an individual Antichrist. Of course, the restrainer did hold back much of the influence of Satan in mankind throughout the AD Christian timeline.

 

Now that the Era of Antichrist has arrived as we have repeatedly shown, the Spirit of Antichrist is seen in the earthly vessels he influences, which we have referred to as the Body of Antichrist.

 

Thus, when the Scripture says when "that man of sin [is] revealed," it is not talking about a supernaturally empowered devil/man who steps forth and mesmerizes the global populace, it is referencing the collective Flesh and Blood everyman, which is comprised of all the people "that dwell on the earth" (Revelation 6:10), and all "whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 17:8).

 

It further indicates that this sinful species will be openly "revealed" to the entire world, as the Lord allows the disgusting evil to catastrophically deteriorate into a desolation that is undeniable to all.

 

Just as Jesus said, we can "discern the face of the sky and of the earth" from the earthly elements, but in the midst of the avalanche of evil that has now arrived, "how is it that ye do not discern this time? (Luke 12:54-56).
