The Antichrist does “Appear” before Christ because no man can see God and live! (Exodus 33:17-20, “He that has seen me HAS SEEN THE FATHER!” John 14:9, “You MUST be Born Again!” John 3:3, Gal. 2:20, Romans 6:3-10).
.
The Antichrist does deceive the world, HOWEVER the Antichrist CANNOT DECEIVE a Born Again Believer who has been born again of INCORRUPTIBLE SEED! (1st Peter 1:23-25), for “WE ARE NOT in darkness that that DAY (“This IS THAT!” Acts 2:16-17, Joel 2;1, 2nd Peter 3:8) should OVERTAKE US as a Thief!” (1st Thess. 5:1-5).
.
I submit to you that the antichrist is “Showing HIMSELF that he is God” (2nd Thess. 2:3-4), and that “There ARE MANY!” (1st John 2:18) who have been showing themselves that they are God for about 2000 years ALREADY since these words were first penned! “THEY received not the love of the truth that THEY might be saved! (2nd Thess. 2:9-12), and for this cau7se God shall send THEM strong delusion that THEY…!” (2nd Thess. 2:2-12, Rev. 17:17).
.
“KNOW YE NOT how that Jesus Christ IS IN YOU (”…in the world but not of the world!" John 17:13-18-20-26), “For MANY DECEIVERS have gone out into the world DENYING that Jesus Christ IS COME IN THE FLESH (2nd Cor. 13:5). Any such person IS the Deceiver and THE ANTICHRIST!” (2nd John 1:7, 1st John 4:3, 1st John 1:21-22). Gal. 2:2, Romans 6:3-10.
.
If “that man of sin” in you has not yet appeared to you as he did to Saul “O wretched man that I am…!” (Romans 7:24-25), and the “Falling AWAY” of scales from your eyes has not yet happened so that Christ may appear to you as he did to Saul (Acts 8:3, Acts 22:4-5, Acts 26:9-11, Gal 1:13, 1st Tim. 1:13, Phil. 3:6, John 16:2, Matt. 10:16-17, etc.) before he became a “New Creation” and Paul (Acts 26:8-15) and Christ “APPEARED” to him (Acts 26:16), Please continue to pray! “For flesh and blood hath not revealed this unto you, but My Heavenly Father…And upon THIS ROCK I WILL Build My Church!” (Matt. 16:17-18). “No man CAN COME TO ME except the Father draw him…!” (John 6:44). “By GRACE…! (Eph. 2:8-9). I WILL put My Spirit within you AND CAUSE YOU to walk in My statutes!” (Ezekiel 36:26-28). “The natural man receiveth NOT the things of the Spirit of God…!” (1st Cor. 2:1-12-14-16).
.
The ANTICHRIST (There are MANY!) is “SHOWING HIMSELF that he is God!”. The WORLD is ALREADY DECEIVED!
.
You are sharing a doctrine here that states that a “Christian” who is born again of INCORRUPTIBLE SEED (“Who HAS…!”, “For HE CHOSE US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION of the world to be holy and BLAMELESS in His Presence!..HE PREDESTINED US…!” Eph. 1:3-6, Isaiah 46:9-10), can “FALL AWAY”! THAT IS NOT what the Scripture and the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ teaches! Please review and reconsider what you are posting as the “Truth” (John 8:31-32, “…to SHOW unto HIS SERVANTS…!” (Rev. 1:1-3, Isaiah 55:11, Amos 3:7, 1st Thess. 5:1-6, "…WE HAVE the Mind of Christ! 1st Cor. 2:1-16).
.
Judas Iscariot was ONE “son of perdition” (John 17:12, Hebrews 9:27, “There are MANY!”).

Who then would fall away?

Gal. 2:20 was one of the Scriptures I meant to share above rather than Gal. 2:2.

It is niot "Who then would fall away, but rather WHAT then would fall way! And the answer to that is “the SCALES from your eyes”. Jesus Christ did not “APPEAR” unto Peter (being born again) UNTIL the scales (Acts 9:18) fell from his eyes (Matt. 16:17) when “that man of sin” (Romans 7:24-25) was revealed to him and THEN Jesus CHRIST “APPEARED” (Acts 26:16) and Paul was able to be among “Our GATHERING TOGETHER unto Him?” (2nd Thess. 2:1, Matt. 18:20, Hebrews 12:22-24, Rev. 21:9-11, John 17:18-20, Rev. 1:9, 1:6, “…them that DWELL IBN HEAVEN” Rev. 13:6, Eph. 2:6, Col. 1:13).

"Lo, I AM with you ALWAYS…!"Matt. 28:20, Hebrews 13:5. Some who DO NOT BELIEVE are looking for His Return when those who believe HIS WORDS KNOW that ALL HIS Promises are TRUE! “I will NEVER LEAVE YOU…!” Hebrews 13:5. How can Jesus Christ “Return” if He NEVER LEAVES?

What about the parable of the talents?

So i believe and can live however i want?

There’s simply not context for that Steve.

The verses say,

2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

The subject is the deception that would be rampant before Christ’s return, which I know you believe already transpired.

I believe in Jesus, and all my readers believe in Him. We just don’t believe the Tribulation happened already. You can’t say we don’t believe in Him simply because we don’t believe as you.

By the way, if Christ already returned two thousand years ago, and prophecy has been fulfilled… I have to ask,

  • Why are we still here?
  • What are we doing and what are we waiting for?
  • When do I get to see God again?

As for the Scripture, “Lo, I am with you alway,” I just assume that was in reference to the Holy Spirit (John 14:26).

And if Jesus never left, then I’m left scratching my head over Mark 16:19, Luke 24:51, and certainly His ascension in Acts1:9-11.

Then there’s the matter of His reappearance in Revelation19, verse 11 onward.

“There is simply not context for that Steve” Does this mean that (in your opinion) when Jesus stated the truth, “For WHERE two or three are GATHERED in My Name THERE AM I WITH THEM!” (Matt. 18:20) in the very words of Jesus Christ is NOT CONTEXT FOR THAT?
.
“But ye ARE COME (“by our gathering together unto him”) to mount Sion, AND unto THE CITY of The LIVING GOD (“by our gathering together unto Him”), the Heavenly JERUSALEM (Rev. 21:9-11, John 17:18-20-26, “in the world but not of the world…!” John 17), AND to an innumerable company of ANGELS (Matt. 22:30, 2nd Cor. 5:17, Hebrews 13:2, Rev. 22:9, etc.). TO the GENERAL ASSEMBLY and Church of the firstborn, which ARE WRITTEN in Heaven, AND TO GOD the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men MADE PERFECT (Gal. 2:20, Romans 6:3-10, John 15:3, 1st Peter 1:23-25, “NOW!” Hebrews 11:1, 2nd Cor. 6:2, 1st Peter 1:23-25, 1st Cor. 2:5-16, etc.), AND TO JESUS the mediator of the New Covenant, AND to the blood of sprinkling (Exodus 12:13) that SPEAKETH BETTER THINGS than that of Abel!” (Hebrews 12:22-24). Does this "CONTEXT not CLEARLY state the truth? How can you possibly state there is no context for what I am sharing? Is Scripture not context?
.
“We just don’t believe the TRIBULATION happened already.” I assure you John and many others have ALREADY gone through great TRIBULATION and many have lost their lives because of it! The Scriptures also will confirm this to be the TRUTH! “I John your brother IN TRIBULATION and IN THE KINGDOM…!” (Rev. 1:9). “WE MUST through MUCH TRIBULATION…!” (Acts 14:22), "In the world ( “I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world…!” (Read John 1-15-18-20-26 very carefully!). Rev. 2:10-11, 6:9-11, 11:3-10, and there are many more! Who was John writing to when he penned Rev. 1:9? Are you implying that you are reading someone else’s mail when you read the Revelation “…to SHOW unto HIS SERVANTS…!” (Rev. 1:1-3).
.
The subject IS NOT the deception that would be rampant before Christs return! Jude and the Revelation and the entire New Testament “In THESE LAST DAYS!” (Hebrews 1:1-2), “For the TIME IS COME that Judgement MUST BEGIN…!” (1st Peter 4:17), and “For the WRATH OF GOD IS REVEALED…!” were all penned over 2000 years ago! So were the words “I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU!” Spoken! 2nd Cor. 13:5 and Hebrews 13:5 were also penned over 2000 years ago as well as “THIS IS THAT!” (Acts 2:16-17, Joel 2:1-32, 2nd Peter 3:8). Is Jesus Christ “with YOU ALWAYS even unto the end of the world1”, “teaching THEM to OBSERVE ALL THINGS…!”? Matt. 28:20, John 17:18-20-26, Rev. 21:9-11, Hebrews 12:22-24.
.
“Why are we still here?” John 17:18-20, “…to USWARD…” 2nd Peter 2:9, the 144,000! And if you need for me to explain this further I can! 2nd Cor. 3:6, 2nd Tim. 2:15, 1st Thess. 5:1-6, Amos 3:7, John 8:31-32, “…TO SHOW unto HIS SERVANTS!” Rev. 1:1-3, Isaiah 55:11.
.
“And the twelve GATES WERE twelve PEARLS; every several gate was one pearl; and the street of the CITY was pure gold, as it were transparent glass” (Rev. 21:21, John 1:47, Dan. 9:25, Dan. 11:33-35, Matt. 24:9-14, 1st John 2:19, Matt. 13:38, Matt. 13:10-11, Matt. 10:16). The New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:9-11, 3:12, Eph. 2:6, Jude 14, etc.) has not one gate but twelve- a perfect number (“And He SIGNIFIED IT…” Rev. 1:1-3). Moreover these gates are never closed- there is an abundant entrance. Each gate is made of one huge Pearl- symbolizing the fact that the entrance to heaven id by “The Way” of suffering- the pearl is the only jewel which is produced by suffering and pain in overcoming difficulty. The 144,000. The number “12”, a sacred number of religious significance, is first multiplied by itself and then by a thousand, the number used to represent ABSOLUTE completeness; not one member of the true body od believers is lost, where there is “neither Jew nor Greek” (Gal. 3:28). In the list of tribes, Dan is missing, possibly because it was the first tribe to go into idolatry and apostacy (Judges18). “666”. The number “6” fell short of the sacred number “7”, and was an evil number when it stood alone. Raise it to a series- “666” and there is a representation of potency of evil than which there can be no greater. By symbol the number “666” is an evil raised to it’s highest power. "(ie, "when the transgressors have reached their limit: Dan. 8:23-25), and “IN THEM” (2nd Thess. 2:9-12) as contrasted with the opposite “I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus” (Gal. 6:17). There is much more I could elaborate on this. I hope that answers your first two questions.
.
Now the third question, “When do I get to see God?” “When YOU SEE the abomination…!” (Matt. 24:15, “that day shall not come unless there come a FALLING AWAY (Acts 9:18, 2nd Kings 6:17, Psalms 146:8, Acts 26:18, “Except a man be born again (1st peter 1;23-25) he CANNOT SEE the Kingdom (Hebrews 12:22-24) of God!” John 3:3-38, “the natural man receiveth NOT…!”, But WE HAVE the mind of Christ!” 1st Cor. 2:1-14-16, 2nd Cor. 13:5, “THEY received not…!” 2nd Thess. 2:9-12, “Every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ IS COME IN THE FLESH (“I will NEVER LEAVE YOU…!” Hebrews 13:5, “NOW you are the body of Christ…” 1st Cor. 12:27) is NOT of God! AND, this IS that spirit of ANTICHRIST, whereof you have heard (“They received NOT!” 2nd Thess. 2:9-12) that it should come (penned over 2000 years ago), and even NOW (penned about 2000 years ago) IT IS ALREADY in the world!” (1st John 2:22, 2nd John 1:7). “If you do not stand firm in your faith (Gal. 2:20, 2nd Cor. 13:5, Hebrews 13:5) then you will not stand at all!” (Isaiah 7:9).

“Who are the TWO WITNESSES?” Answer, “THESE ARE THE TWO OLIVE TREES, AND the two CANDLESTICKS Standing (1st Cor. 16:13-13, Eph. 6:10-14-19, Phil 1:27-28, 1st Cor. 10:12) before the God of the Earth” (Rev. 11:3-4, Psalms 24:1-3, 1st Cor. 10:26, Col. 1:16, Exodus 19:5, etc.).
.
“These ARE the two OLIVE TREES…!” (Rev. 11:4, Jer. 11:16, Romans 11;17, Psalms 52:8, etc.), “AND the two CANDLESTICKS (”…are CHURCHES" Rev. 1:20, “YOU are the light of the world…” Matt. 5:13-16, Hebrews 12:22-24, “…descending out of Heaven from God…! Rev. 21:9-11, “AS Thou hast sent Me into the world, EVEN SO HAVE I ALSO SENT THEM INTO THE WORLD!” John 17:18-20-26, “I pray NOT that Thou shouldest take them OUT OF THE WORLD…” John 17:1-17-26.
.
“What was the Mark of the Beast?” Answer, “Here is wisdom. (Rev. 13:8, James 1:5-8). Let him that hath understanding (Dan. 11:33-35) COUNT the NUMBER of the Beast, for IT IS the NUMBER of A MAN; and his NUMBER is Six hundred threescore and six!” (Rev. 13:18).
.
There is much more I could add to this, however, since you asked several questions I will try to make this brief. Please read this carefully!
.
“Here is Wisdom. Let him that hath understanding COUNT the number of the BEAST; for it is the number of a man; and his number is SIX HUNDRED THREESCORE AND SIX!” (Rev. 13:18). The NUMBER OF THE BEAST can be COUNTED, and the Bible shows us just where to start counting. Rev. 13:18 which gives the number of the Beast, and tells the reader to count that number, starts off by saying, “Here is WISDOM”. Revelation 17:9 opens by saying, “And HERE is the mind WHICH HATH WISDOM.”
.
That statement is followed by a series of numbers which add up to 666, the number of the BEAST. The passage must be read and counted to Revelation 17:14. That verse says, “THESE shall make WAR with the lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome THEM.”
.
The number for WARFARE is 600.
.
Verse 9 there are 7 heads, 7 mountains, and 1 woman. Verse 10 there are 7 kings, 5 are fallen, 1 that is, and 1 that is not yet come. Verse 11 it is said that the Beast was the 8th, and was of the 7th, and that he goeth into perdition. Verse 12 there are 10 horns, and 10 kings, and 1 hour. Verse 13THEY (plural) have one mind, and give THEIR strength and power to the Beast. (See 2nd Thess. 2:9-12, Rev. 17:17, Dan. 8:23-25, “THEY have rejected ME!” 1st Sam. 8:5-18). ADD these numbers and they total 66. In verse 14 there is WAR, and the number for War is 600. John said, “Let him that hath understanding COUNT the NUMBER of the Beast.” These NUMBERS are all taken from the Bible itself! (I’ll show you where the 600 comes from in a moment).
.
If you will refer back to the numbers that add up to 666, you will find that the 5th number is FIVE, the 8th number is EIGHT, and the 10th number is TEN. The numbers 5, 8, and 10, coincide with themselves in the list. These three numbers when added together equals 23, or DEATH. Those who refuse to submit to the authority of the beast will be killed, unless they go into hiding. (Matt. 24:9, Luke 21:16, Rev. 2:10-11, 6:9-11, 12:11).
.
The Beasts number can also be reached by adding 66, the number for idol worship, and 600 the number for warfare. Both idol worship and warfare will be connected to the Beast. I ask you to read Rev. 13:13-15.
.
There are three in Scripture which stand out as the avowed enemy of God and His People. Each is branded with the number SIX that we might not miss the significance (”…and He SIGNIFIED IT…!" Rev. 1:1-3). GOLIATH, whose height was 6 cubits, and he had 6 pieces of armor, his spearhead weighed 600 shekels of iron. (1st Sam. 17:4-7). NEBUCHADNEZZAR, whose “image” which he set up, was 60 cubits broad (Dan. 3:1), and which was worshipped when the music was heard from 6 specific instruments. The BEAST whose number is 666 as revealed in Rev. 13:18. In the first we have ONE SIX connected with the PRIDE of FLESHLY might. (Note: “make US a king”, “Give US a king”, “The VOICE OF THE PEOPLE!”, “Your king which YOU HAVE CHOSEN you!” 1st Sam. 8:5-18, “THEIR KINGDOM!” Rev. 17:17, Dan. 8:23-25). In the second we have TWO SIXES connected to the PRIDE of absolute DOMINION (“and THEY…!” Rev. 13:4, 17:17, 2nd Thess. 2:10-12). In the third we have THREE SIXES connected with the PRIDE of SATANIC GUIDANCE ("Even him whose coming is after the work of Satan with all power and signs, and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness IN THEM (Plural, “that man of sin” , “THERE ARE MANY!”) that perish, because THEY ("that man of sin “, “IN THEM that perish”) received NOT the love of the truth that THEY might be saved (2nd Thess. 2:9-12, and fort this cause God shall send THEM…!”). “It was GIVEN unto him to make WAR with the Saints, AND to OVERCOME THEM, and Power was GIVEN unto him.” Rev. 13:7. The Beast in Dan. 7 are EMPIRES. You have to understand symbolisms in the Bible (“And he SIGNIFIED IT…!” Rev. 1:1-3). The symbolisms used in the Scriptures ARE explained in the Scriptures themselves! Jer. 33:3, Amos 3:7, John 8:31-36, 1st Cor. 2:5-14-16, 1st Thess. 5:1-6, “…to SHOW unto HIS SERVANTS…!” Rev. 1:1-3.
.
“What is the locust ARMY?” Again, you will need to start studying the Scriptures and pray for understanding! Read Acts 2:16-17 “THIS IS THAT!”, “The DAY of the Lord!” Joel 2:1-2-9-32, 2nd Peter 3:8, Rev. 9, and now go to Rev. 11:3-5-10. “FIRE proceeds out of their mouth…! (Rev. 11:5, Joel 2:3, Luke 10:19), “The appearance of them is as the appearance of HORSES and AS HORSEMEN, SO SHALL THEY RUN!” (Joel 2:4, “And the ARMIES IN HEAVEN (Hebrews 12:22-24, Col. 1:13, Eph. 2:6, 2nd Tim. 2:2-5)… Followed HIM on White Horses!” (Rev. 19:11-16), “They shall enter in AT THE WINDOWS (Isaiah 60:8, Nahum 1:3, Matt. 10:16, Luke 21;36, Ezekiel 7:16) LIKE A THEIF!” (Joel 2:2-9, 1st Cor. 12:27, 2nd Cor. 13:5, 1st Thess. 5:1-5). They ARE the TWO WITNESSES. Joel 2:2-9, Rev. 11:3-10. I hope you are one!
.
“What’s the next SIGN to come?” Answer, 'IMMEDIATELY AFTER the Tribulation of THOSE DAYS shall the SUN BE DARKENED and the moon shall not give her light (“And the Sun WAS Darkened!” Luke 23:45, Mark 15:33, Matt. 27:45), AND the STARS SHALL FALL from Heaven (Luke 10:19, Rev. 12:4, “and the STARS of heaven FELL TO THE EARTH!” Rev. 6:13), AND the powers of the Heavens SHALL BE SHAKEN!” (Matt. 24:29, Hag. 2:6, Hebrews 12:26-27, “And the STARS of Heaven FELL to the Earth like a FIG TREE (Matt. 24:32-34) when she is SHAKEN BY a MIGHTY WIND!” (Matt. 24:29) "THEN (“IMMEDIATELY AFTER the Tribulation of THOSE DAYS!”) SHALL APPEAR THE SIGN (Isaiah 8:18, 2nd Cor. 13:5, Rev. 1:7, 1st Cor. 12:27) of the Son of man IN HEAVEN (Matt. 24:30-32, Luke 17:21, Matt. 24:3-32, Isaiah 8:20, “EVERY spirit that denieth that Jesus Christ IS COME IN THE FLESH is not of God!” 1st John 2:22, 2nd John 1:7, 2nd Cor. 13:5, 1st Cor. 12:27, Matt. 10:16).
.
I truly hope I have helped answer your questions!

15

Luke 10:18 is what I mean to share with “Immediately After the Tribulation of THOSE DAYS”, " I beheld Satan as lightening Fall from Heaven…!", “And His tail drew a third part…” Rev. 12:4, “And the STARS OF HEAVEN FELL!” Rev. 6:13. These things already happened about 2000 years ago according to the Scriptures!

16

Ok so what was the mark of the beast? A shot? Dna transformed? Choosing anti christ in your heart?

If they happened all this should be easily documented just as i can go to the jordan side of the dead sea and find sulfer balls from sodom that rained down.

17

What are the stars the fell from heaven? Stars as nasa says or what?

18

And i do believe Jesus has come in the flesh that’s how you know im of God.

I will try to answer your reply appropriately. However, you will need to understand 1st Cor. 2:1-14-16. “God IS a SPIRIT…!” John 4:24. “The hour cometh AND NOW IS…!” John 4:23, 1st Cor. 15:50, John 3:6, Romans 8:8-11, Gal. 2:20, Romans 6:3-10, Matt. 22:30. I am pleased you acknowledge His Ascension! Do you acknowledge your own? Col. 1:13, Eph. 2:6, Hebrews 12;22-24, Rev. 21:9-11, John 17:18-20-26, John 17:1-15-18-20-26. Please consider WHEN it was Jesus said the things He said. I believe this will help you! Rev. 1:9, Rev. 1:6, “NOW!” Hebrews 11:1, 2nd Cor. 6:2, Hebrews 10:38, Isaiah 46:9-10, “It is FINISHED!” Matt. 19:30, “BEHOLD!..IT IS DONE!” Rev. 21:1-5-6, Rev. 22:17. Please also read my responses too Jeffery and Brandon. If you then find any errors, please let me know! Thank you!

20

You are correct.

Deu 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Fail = Definition: To relax, to let go, to cease, to be weak, to be idle

Usage: The Hebrew verb “raphah” primarily conveys the idea of slackening or letting go. It can imply physical relaxation or weakness, as well as a metaphorical sense of ceasing from activity or effort. In various contexts, it can mean to be still, to desist, or to become idle. The term is often used to describe a state of rest or a cessation of striving, sometimes in a positive sense of trusting in God and ceasing from one’s own efforts.

Heb 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Leave = Definition: To let go, to release, to relax, to give up

Usage: The verb ἀνίημι (aniemi) is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of releasing or letting go. It can imply a physical release, such as letting go of a grip, or a more metaphorical release, such as relaxing one’s efforts or giving up a pursuit. The term can also suggest a cessation of activity or a pause in effort.

We can see the definition is the same, in the old and the new. As you have shown, there are numerous verses that state where Christ is right now, Physically. (Acts 7:56)

Today, He is with us spiritually as well as with the Father. They are connected spiritually as we are connected with Christ. (1 John 2:1)

1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

With = Definition: to, towards, with, for

Usage: The Greek preposition “πρός” (pros) is versatile and primarily denotes direction or orientation. It is often used to indicate movement towards a place, person, or goal. In the New Testament, “pros” can also imply a relational or purposeful connection, such as being “with” someone or “for” a particular purpose. It is frequently used to express the idea of being in the presence of or in relation to someone or something.
