Evangelical Messianic Christians, End-Times, and the Anti-Christ

[JamesR]

I hate to say it, but the Anti-Christ will almost certainly come from the nation of Israel and America--since it is so populated by Evangelical Protestants who have been totally deluded by Zionism--will be the top supporter evil-empire of the Anti-Christ. Evangelical Protestantism in my opinion is the religion of the Anti-Christ because of its close ties with Zionism.

[Matthew]

In my readings of the ancient fathers, I learned that at least some reputable fathers believed that the AntiChrist would be from the Tribe of Dan, and that this is why in the book of Revelation the tribe of Dan is not listed among the 12 tribers of the 144 thousand. I see no reason, to suspect he will be an american.

It is interesting that that the saint says there will be no death in the time of Antichrist. Recently I was reading some speculation on a protestant end-times website suggesting the possibility that the mark of Antichrist will not only be a type of brand, and necessary for taking part in commerce, similar to a bar-code, but may be a very advanced piece of technology that allows the bearer to interface with Antichrists system on various levels.

The trans-humanist movement, that seeks by technological means to improve human beings in order to bring them to a blissful, deathless state outside of the grace of God, has been working for years and spending huge amounts of money and resources to develop drugs, implants etc. that can reverse the aging process, increase intelligence and enhance the healing and regenerative functions of the body. There is also research into augmentation of the senses, such as the Google glass device that overlays information onto whatever the user is looking at, and enhancement of the strength and endurance of the body through exoskeletons and cyborg type prosthesis to replace limbs or organs with higher powered or enhanced versions.

Consider also the proven ability of certain microwave and elf transmissions to project certain wavelengths into the population in order to pacify or agitate people, manipulating thoughts and passions to create a group-mind effect. Margaret Thatchers government used this technology in the 80's to pacify unruly parts of London and the CIA patented a technique for 'Synthetic Telepathy,' the actual insertion of thoughts in a targets mind, many decades ago.

It is possible that the Antichrist's mark will combine a receiver for these transmissions, perhaps a drip-feed of certain chemicals that induce a euphoric, blissful state (or it's opposite, if need be,) and perhaps some kind of miniaturized nano-tech robots that enter the bloodstream and induce some form of genetic or cellular changes that prevent aging or even death.

I can imagine certain of his servants may be provided with a higher level version of this mark, integrated with augmented body parts or senses, at the cost of a more powerful integration with his computerized networked mind, acting out his orders and implementing plans with total obedience, just like the demonic realm is organized.

This is pretty sci-fi, I know, but when we watch films or read books about future worlds, advanced systems such as the ones I am speaking of are usually presented alongside an environment that is equally advanced or different to our own. In popular science fiction the cities, buildings, clothes etc. are made to look like something from the future to match the level of technology that has been achieved. Most people don't realize just how far these developments, in genetics, remote mind-control, cybernetics, computer-human interface etc. have come, because in the real world, most things have stayed much the same and these technologies have been developed quietly and released to the population incrementally while people still live in houses built decades ago.

For the holy people who have foreseen the days of Antichrist it would be difficult to comprehend such technology and understand how it worked, even if they saw it in vision, and, from what I have read, there is no reason to assume that many of the things St John saw in his vision may not be super-advanced technology or weaponry that exists in the future and may even be fully developed and functional right now, but is kept out of sight, or relegated to the realm of science fiction, so that when the time comes for the Antichrist to be revealed, those powers he uses to dazzle the world and the benefits he offers those who serve him will seem to be an inevitable, irresistible, almost magical solution for every human ill to those who have not made some effort to prepare themselves to resist him.

James, I understand where you are coming from when you say that Antichrist will emerge from the Israel/American/Anglo empire that currently dominates the world through it's military might and brainwashing mass media, but consider the possibility that Antichrist will actually save the world from this domination.

We can see, in the alternative media, conspiracy sites etc. that there is a revolutionary sentiment brewing against the Zionist program and that this is increasingly mixed with a new age religious worldview. It may be that the entire western world, and it's recent history (fake war on terror, blind support for Israel, financial and cultural domination by the Synagogue of Satan) is only a part of the set-up, designed to capture the minds of those who still think independently and seek truth, but manage their perceptions and direct their energies towards political change rather than repentance and refuge in the Church. In this way, by their vanity and attachment to worldly peace and prosperity, they will be Antichrist's most willing helpers, zealously exposing and dismantling one tyranny in the name of erecting another, far more insidious one.

There is a Masonic saying: 'We will direct every revolution against us.' That is what I think the 'truth movement,' Anti-zionist cause and alternative media represents at this stage.

We should not assume that things are so easy to comprehend, the deception will not be obvious and will deceive almost everyone. It is better to acknowledge our ignorance in the case of the mysterious future, than to rest on worldly knowledge and try to project forward from that, especially as most of the exposure is done by people outside the Church. We should keep an open mind with regards to possibilities, especially as we will never be equal to our enemy in his devious and subtle ways of manipulation.

Bear in mind also that there is literally nothing out there, in terms of information, that is not allowed to be out there, by the will of the powers that be (whoever they really are.) We should assume that there is nothing revealed through modern channels of communication that is not revealed for some purpose or another, either to outright deceive, in the case of mainstream news, or to dis-inform and misdirect, as in the case of the alternative/conspiracy news.
