Who is the Anti-Christ (False Messiah)?

Q. Who is the Anti-Christ?
A.The term "Anti_Christ" is a terrible way to convey what the L-rd has to say about this man. The term is better expressed by the "False Messiah" and that is what will be used in this article. The False Messiah is a man who will claim to be "Jesus" of Replacement Theology Christianity during the Birthpains. There is so much that can be said about this eschatological character that this article will not be an exhaustive one, but it will contain some things for you to think about.

There are numerous prophecies concerning this man, starting in Gen 49 and Jacobs blessing. The False Messiah will most likely be Jewish, from the tribe of Dan. The tribal symbol was a serpent In the the article "False Messiah" in the Jewish Encyclepedia, there are references to this fact. The twisted serpent , or "Leviathan" is a picture of the False Messiah. Pharaoh, with the serpent on his crown, is an abundant picture of the False Messiah. Antiochus Epiphanes, Haman, Absalom, Shebna, are just a few of the scriptural pictures of him. He does not believe in following the commandments and is called the "lawless one(without the Torah)" in 2 Thes 2 and Micah 2.4.

He is called the wicked prince of Israel in Ezek 21.25, the " foolish shepherd" in Zech 11.6-17, the "King of the sons of pride" in Job 41, the "teacher of falsehood" in Hab 2.18, the "fiery serpent" in Isa 14.29, the "worthless one " in Nahum 1.15. These are just a small sample of the information in the scriptures about this character. He will come out of Europe and be of Jewish descent, but will not be Torah observant. He will teach people that they don't have to keep the Torah, in fact, will make laws prohibiting the keeping of the Torah. He make it illegal to keep the Sabbath and celebrate Biblical festivals. He will persecute those who have the testimony of Yeshua and keep the commandments. The theology of Christianity will be the theology of the False Messiah, that's why he is called the "Lawless(Torah-less) one" and an apostate. The United States will be destroyed by an attack from Russia and her allies 7 days after the catching away of the believers on Tishri 1, year 6001 from creation. Eorope will be in a panic and will convene a security meeting to decide what to do.

The False Messiah will be in that meeting and will tell the 10 delegates that he has a plan and they must act now by giving him power to rule and defend Europe. There will be no time to go to each individual parliament to get something done, he must have temporary dictatorship to act swiftly, very similar to the War Powers Act that gives the President power to act without Congressional approval. He will be given the power he needs and will defend Europe in a 3 year war with Russia. Feeling secure because they will be winning this war with Europe, Russia will unleash it's conspiracy with some Arab nations and invade Israel between Rosh Ha Shanah and Yom Kippur, Year 3 of the Birthpains. They will be defeated by an act of G-d and Israel ,as a nation ,will believe in Yeshua as the Messiah, due to the work of the 144,000 and the two witnesses who have been preaching in the land for 3 years.

Because of the war with Russia, Europe will be devastated and the False Messiah will move his headquarters to Jerusalem. Meanwhile, the False Prophet, who is a religious leader of apostate Christianity, will set up an idol of the False Messiah on Adar 10 and proclaim to all that he is "Jesus" on Nisan 10 and cause many to believe it. This will be the exact half way point of the Tribulation(Nisan10) .But, those who follow the Torah and believe in Yeshua will not go along with this. The Jewish believers in Israel will flee to the Jordanian-Moabite wilderness, from Pella to Petra, and be preserved there by the L-rd for 1260 days. The False Messiah will try to hunt down these believers but will not be able to get at them. He turns his attention to anyone who keeps the Torah and makes war with them . Meanwhile, the KIngs of the East, a vast orental army, will begin to march to Israel. He fights several battles and loses, falling back to Jerusalem where a sige takes place and he is surrounded. On Rosh Ha Shanah, year 6008, Yeshua will return from Heaven with His saints to Mt. Sinai. For ten days He walks the same route Joshua took as he entered the land, rescuing believers who have been hiding in the wilderness.

On Yom Kippur 10 days later, He stands on the Mt of Olives. The False Messiah will try to flee but will be caught near the plains of Jericho, and cast alive into the Dead Sea, which is also called the Lake of Fire. As you can see, there is so much concerning this subject that it would be impossible to contain in this short article, but this is a very important subject and should be mastered. The theology of the False Messiah is all around us, especially if you are participationg in Replacement Theology Christianity, and it is easy to see how one could be deceived into believing a lie, it's being done to many and they don't even know it. The way for the False Messiah is being prepared today by anyone who teaches you that the Law is not for today.
