Antichrists-who are they?
One of the Great Deceptions
by your servant,
Dan

To uncover the "Antichrists and the Antichrist" we need to
understand the importance of identity. We certainly understand the importance
of our own names, connecting us to a family, to a bank account, and for paying
our taxes but many fail to pay this kind of attention to our Creator, to
our Savior, YaHshua. Letting me express how important this is we will then see
the truth in identifying the Antichrists and the Antichrist. It is a battle of
names, marks, seals, all having to do with names. We find this simple truth in
the question --Which god is your god, whom do you call Lord? This is the same
question Solomon ask with an expectation of an answer, "…what is His son's
Name, surely you know!" He is not actually asking you to guess, he, under
inspiration is saying you know, that, at least, you should know, so, do you?
Proverb 30:4 Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the
wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has
established all the ends of the earth? What
is his name, and what is his son's name? Surely you know! ESV
The Identity -- the Name, must be considered
When it comes to identifying the Creator God and His Son, and our Savior,
the scholars and teachers fall flat choosing to ignore the specific,
revealed, identity of our Heavenly Father and our Savior when dealing with the
lay members of the faith – it isn’t that they do not know, they choose to
ignore this revealed truth.
The true Savior, the Messiah, the real Christ of the first century, came to
proclaim a "salvation" made available to all mankind and to reveal
God the Father, whom the world had not heard of. The Savior claimed that
He, YaHshua, came in that Father's Name, His Father’s Name, and made it plain
the religious leaders and people of then and before had not heard of the
Father, not until YaHshua revealed Him. The Gospel of John is all about
"personal identity" -- John 5:43; John 6:46; John 17:12; John 17:25:
John 10:25; John 14:28; John 7:16; 1 John 4:2, and then -- Revelation 2:3;
2:13; 3:8; 3:5; 3:12; 21:27; 22:4 ---- "... and His NAME will be on
their foreheads" -- ever wonder what the "mark" of God is?
The teacher of the word, the scholars of the Scriptures should all be ashamed
-- why don't they correct this error, this deception of "identity".
The modern self-proclaimed prophets spend a great deal of time searching out
the "identity" of the Beast and the False Prophet and have no problem
properly identifying Satan, but when it come to our Creator, and Savior, or the
Identity of our Heavenly Father we are confronted with name change, lost
identity, excuses for substitution of titles and other names, the promoting of
a name that was created (invented) in the last 400 years, even as our Savior
YaHshua Himself, warned --
(John 5:43) I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye
will receive.
These teachers are without excuse - along with virtually every Christian
minister telling us god is God, lord is LORD. It is the same as
telling us that all mountains are Sinai! They see the majesty, they see the
beauty and they speak of the power then they tell us that the Name of our
Creator and Savior is, Lord, God or Jesus – all titles and an made up name --
supplanting the Savior’s birth Name with a false identity and by this they
ultimately ignore our Heavenly Father's true identity as revealed to us by His
Son (Mat 11:27). They call on the Majesty of all Majesties by other names, or
resort to using titles as names covering the true identity that separates the
Living God and His Son from all the false, dead, gods and lords of this world.
To say you have the one true god but do not recognize His true identity increases
exponentially the possibility of giving His glory to another. In
following this error many major leaders in the Christian Churches tell us we
are all searching for god in different ways, that we are all worshiping the
same god -- the worship of wood and stone and gods of our own imaginations,
some even teaching man is god. This idiotic teaching and attitude is so pagan
it hurt my spirit just thinking about it. How dare anyone give the Glory of our
Creator to anyone, or anything else. So, who is your god, do you know (Pro
30:4)? Even Islam make this same mistake, error, they call on Allah as a name
and if it is a name, then it too is a false name. The term Allah is a term to
replace the term “god” as a name -- in this they are correct but in the name
they are wrong -- If we say Allah is the name for God, then what is your name
for God? If we say “God” then what is the name of His son - can you tell me? Of
course those of the Islamic religion do not recognize the Messiah as a
"god" but as a great prophet, so this question is for those
Christians saying the term "god" is a name. Allah is in a like manner
used as a name but if they say Allah is the Name of God then they are wrong as
this name never existed when YaHWeH identified Himself to Moses and, as a name,
Allah does not translate or transliterate into or from His revealed Name,
YaHWeH. YaHshua is the Name of our Savior, and He came in the Name of His
Father, our Heavenly Father -- It is easy to prove, without a doubt, that Jesus
is not His name and never could have been -- let’s establish a few
things concerning His Identity and the importance of this knowledge as it concerns,
also, the identities of the antichrists.
If you do not have the Son, you do not have the Father - (1 John 2:23)
There is only one name found
among mankind that can save - (Acts 4:12)
The Anti-Christs (plural -- more than one) can be identified - (1 John
4:1-4)
The liar is the one that denies YaHshua is the Christ, such is the
Anti-Christ – not only is the Savior denied but the Father as well, because the
Son comes (came) in the Father’s Name. To deny the one is to deny the other, so
for all of you that say we do not need to know the Father by anything other
designation than “Father” then I say to you, you had better reconsider your
position and rethink this the next time you call on Him. The Father’s Name
cannot be “Jesus” but we most definitely see His Name in the true “birth name”
of our Savior, YaHshua. (1 John 2:22-23) So, who is the liar? The Muslims say
YaHshua (Yeshua) was a great prophet but deny Him as the Son of the Living God,
and the professing Christians say He, the Messiah of the New Testament, is the
Savior but they deny His Name, which is also deny, then, the Father.
YaHshua makes a prophetic statement found in the book of Hebrews, taken
from a quote in the Old Testament and it is a very meaningful statement,
declaration, and pronouncement --
"I will declare your Name to my brothers; ..." (Hebrews 2:12)
Salvation - Confession
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to
men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12) (“given” or found among men –
on this earth, in other words)
The Name pointing to the One True Savior is a Name "found among
mankind" -- it is not a secret Name, a Name of angels or of some secret
object, no, it is a Name men have and do use, a Name with the honor of being
applied to our Savior and a Name that ultimately points to our Heavenly Father.
If you see this, if you can accept this then it is not I that has made this
known to you but YaHshua Himself – He is the one making this known to a select
few. I take no responsibility whatever for this knowledge as it is not mine it
is received from my Savior and I pray He will make this known to you also, but
perhaps not, for as in the days of Noah, when the end approached, there were
few that understood enough to be save from the flood. As in the days of Noah,
so everyone goes about their business as if nothing is going to happen, as if
all things go on as from the beginning. Do you see it, can you see it, if so I
thank our Savior YaHshua for opening your eyes and for allowing me to be a small
tool in this personally revealed truth.
The test verses are:
(Philippians 2:11) And that every tongue should confess that YaHshua the Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father.
(Matthew 10:32) Whosoever therefore shall
confess me before men, him will I
confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
(1 John 4:15) Whosoever shall
confess that YaHshua is the Son of God, God dwelleth (lives) in him, and he in
God. (Ever wonder whom the Holy Spirit is?)
(2 John 1:7) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that YaHshua the Christ is come in the flesh.
This is a deceiver and an Antichrist.
The operative word in the above verse is, “come”, not that He was flesh.
Three ways to Denial
An example of denial leading to being an “antichrist” is found in the
Muslim acceptance of Yeshua (YaHshua) having actually lived: The Islamic
religion acknowledges Yeshua as a prophet, a man of flesh and blood but deny He
“came” from heaven as the Son. In this denial they pronounce that they
are “antichrists”.
What about the Jews, let’s not exclude them, after all, some if not most of
the Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox Jews deny YaHshua ever existed and those that
do refuse Him as Savior and never as the Son of their God. The religious, devote
Jew, is then, also and “antichrist”.
Let’s not leave the Christians out either – they say the Messiah of the
bible came from Heaven, so He did “come” down here from above, but then they
deny Him personally by giving him another name, a pagan name pronounced by most
in the world as “the Zeus”. By using another’s name and making Holy Days,
festivals and customs of pagans past their own. How do they do this?
Those wonderful holidays - days based on Pagan
theology:
Easter (subbing for the Passover) is a festival of renewal in the pagan
world and involved all things sexual and reproductive. Ever wonder why the
“Easter eggs, and the Easter bunny? The title of this Holy Day has been
connected to the goddess Ishtar and Asherah. Easter is considered the replacement
for the Passover with is at a different time and is in remembrance of our
Savior’s sacrifice for us.
Christmas is a time of cutting down a tree and decorating it and laying
gifts at its feet and celebrating the birth of a young King. This is a guess,
of course as no one really knows when the true Christ was born but from the
timing in the Gospel accounts we know He was not born in the middle of winter,
but this did not stop the Christians for adopting a pagan celebration to the
child god Tammuz whose birth day just happens to be December 25. Christmas has
been declared as a Federal Holiday to protect its financial blessing to the
seasonal retailers.
The Messiah worshiped on the seventh day, Saturday, the same day our
Creator rested from creation but the Christians have chosen the first day of
the week, the Suns day (Sunday) and with a little less research and some
assumption turn the Suns day into the time of our Savior’s resurrection. The
Suns day was, of course, the high day for the Romans engaged in Sun worship,
seen as the father of Tammuz.
Heaven and Hell: The main Christian concept of Heaven and Hell drowns in
pagan views and teachings that is really laughable to the intelligent mind. The
Bible tells us only the Messiah has come from Heaven and that only that witch
is from Heaven can go to Heaven. Hell is taught as a terrible place where the
sinners go to live forever. Get that? The pagan concept is no one really dies,
either you go to Heaven and live eternity in a life of boredom or go to Hell
and live eternally in pain but still alive. Then there is the other place
dreamed up to answer the question about people not bad enough to life in Hell
and not good enough for life in Heaven and that is the place in-between,
Purgatory, some call it. All of this is the religion of the Anti- Christ. The
Bible, the inspired words of our Savior, YaHshua, teaches the coming Kingdom
(Government) of God – He is coming here, we are not going there. Hell is in the
end, a total end and anyone sharing in the Hell Fire of the Holy Bible will
cease to exist, there will be no eternal life in Hell Fire.
Professing Christian religions are so far removed from what the Scriptures
have to say that they have to set up heads (Prophets, Popes and Apostles) to
reinterpret the Word to suit their cherished pagan ways, to cover themselves in
their own reasoning. Ever wonder why there are so many different denominations?
It is difficult for self-proclaimed religious leaders to share their perceived
power and authority with others.
There is a sense that the Old Covenant and the Laws found in the Hebrew
Scriptures, that testify of our Savior YaHshua, are done away, abolished, even
though our Savior says otherwise (Mat 5:16-18). When will all be fulfilled?
After the Millennial rule of our Savior YaHshua, and this after the Judgment
then a New Heaven and a New Earth, this will be the final fulfillment of “fulfilling
all things”. But the pagan Christians make this claim of abolishment and
then want to chain the new believers to a different set of rules and doctrines,
most of which have pagan origins and are not truly biblical. Oh yes, they say,
we are free from the Law and they are right, partly, we are free from the
required penalty of the Law, which is death. We escape this through our
acceptance of YaHshua as our Savior. Once this freedom is realized the
leadership sees they have a problem in building their work or desire for
greatness so they must prove to you and me they have the truth. They may be
sincere but wrong as they bring new converts into the pagan way under the
Banner of the Holy Bible. With these pagan holidays, festivals and traditions
they call on their god Jesus, a name that never existed until 4-500 years ago.
This truth should wake people up but most when faced with this fact want to
argue and refuse to accept they have been duped – Jesus is not and has never
been His Name – it is not His Name and it is not the Name of our Heavenly
Father – wake up if you haven’t already.
Restoring His Name -- Restore His Name
By restoring our Savior's birth name we can see the impact of the
above test verse and those verses dealing with the Antichrist and the name and
the mark of the Beast to come. The name JESUS is a modern invention coming to us from around the 16-17 the century
(Original spelling, Iesus, in the KJV of 1611 bible -- how would you pronounce
that name?). The European version of this lie concerning the "birth
name" of our Savior is IeSUS even this day, pronounced Ie-Zuus (The - Zeus
?). It is the British, the Americans and other English speaking people that say
Jesus (gee-zuz). The claim is this name, Iesus, is from the Greek Iesous,
pronounced Ie-soos, or Hay-soos, which not even close to the English – it is
not a transliteration and it is not a translation of the original name
delivered to Maryam. Mary and Joseph did not name our Savior, they were told
what to name Him and it was not the name JESUS. This is the lie, this is the
deception and everyone, nearly, has accepted it. Take the vowels out of this
name Jesus (Iesus) and you have JSS or ISS, the sound of a snake and a very
similar name to Isis the Egyptian goddess whose number among the gods is 666.
If you take the Greek, from whom the King James Version translators have
derived their first name, Iesus, Iesous and remove the vowels you still have
ISS and this predates the KJV and all modern translation.
The truth is far from the twisting of names so closely associated with
names appealing to the Romans and the Greeks – the truth is not even close as
the deception is total over the world of the Christian Church as we see it
today. The birth Name of the Messiah is YaH-shua (Seen as Joshua, in the O.T. KJV and most other
modern versions), which is to say, YH's Savior, or YaH's Salvation. He came in
the name of His Father, YH (YaH). His birth name came from our Heavenly
Father by way of an angelic messenger, not by man -- a Name chosen from among
men but chosen by His Father from Heaven. Joseph and Mary were instructed to
Name Him a certain Name, a Name from His Heavenly Father -- They were not asked
their opinion! They were both told, at different times and apart from one
another, what to Name this child! If names don’t matter, as some say, then why
didn’t God the Father leave it up to them?
To Joseph: (Matthew 1:21 ) "And she shall
bring forth a son, and thou (Joseph) shalt call his name JESUS (?): for he
shall save his people from their sins." KJV
Note: Jesus should read, with the knowledge they had in 1611, Joshua at the
least. (Do you see the lie? The name Jesus did not exist at the time the KJV
was being put together but the Name Joshua
did and does to this day. It is found in the Holy Bible it is one of the O.T.
books, Joshua, and is the name of a famous leader of Israel, Joshua (Y'shua),
but the translators choose to use a corrupted name, a name following a corrupt
tradition, a name more closely related to a pagan god (Zeus) than to a real
champion of Scripture -- our Savior was named a Name chosen by His Heavenly
Father. It would have been correct, at the time of the creation of the KJV
Authorized, in their present knowledge, to have used the name
"Joshua" but they followed the tradition of the Roman Church in using
a corrupted Latin name bastardized from the Greek neither of which were
transliterations of His birth name). This deception goes all the way back to
before Constantine and his declaring the Christian religion the state religion.
To Mary: (Luke 1:31) And, behold, thou shalt
conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS (?).
KJV
(Jesus is not the name given to Mary -- this is not the name Mary is
commanded to name the child to be conceived -- she is told to Name Him YaHshua,
the same name as the man that led Israel into the promise land. At the birth of
our Savior He was Named, YaHshua, like the Joshua of the KJV, and it could not
have been this bogus name found in modern translations as the name Jesus did not exist then, not until around
1600 years later and eventually finding a home in the translation known as the
King James Authorized Version -- a government bible approved by the king to be
read in the churches of England)
What our Savior Said
(John 6:43) I have come in my Father's
name, and you do not accept me; But someone else comes in his own name,
you will accept him. NIV (A different name is accepted without
any resistance at all—incredible, but our Savior new this would happen and
warned his followers of just such a thing)
(John 17:8) Holy father, protect
them by the power of your name -- the name you gave me -- so that they may be
one as we are one.
Do you see the error of the world's wisdom? The LIE presented as truth.
Following the traditions of men they do error in teaching JESUS as YaHshua. The
JESUS of the King James Version is emphasized by all capital letters, in the
verses quoted, pointing to its significance, but this name is dead wrong even
though the translators have "capitalized" that bogus name to signify
its importance -- they know but deny the power thereof, following their own
customs and traditions, denying the Holy Name of our Savior. The name delivered
by the angelic messenger, the name "thou shalt call", is YaHshua, a Hebrew name for a Hebrew
baby, not the pagan name JESUS (Hey-Zeus, or He-soos). Yes, there is the
argument – “no one can prove the name Jesus is in reference to the Greek and
Roman god Zeus” -- this does not remove the fact, however, that 2/3 of the
world pronounce the name Jesus as Ie-Zues, or "the Zeus". The fact is
-- pagan Europe does not say, Gee-sus, like the English, but Hey-zeus (Ie-sus).
Please, wake up, do not allow this delusion to fog your mind. The name Jesus is not the Hebrew/Jewish
equivalent of YaHshua -- YaHshua is the equivalent -- from Hebrew/Jewish to
English and European it is YaHshua and is found in the English bibles as
“Joshua” (properly pronounced as Y’shua). In the 16th century, when the KJV
translators were at work the equivalent would have been this name Joshua, or
Ieshua, pronounced, YeHshua, but they chose, Ie-sus instead. Why? Think about
it a little and you will know the answer.
In John 6:43, by the Christ's own words, He claims to have come in His Father's name and later in
His tormented prayer He specifically states He was "given" this name
(John 17:11), a name of power and salvation, a name of unity between Him and
His Heavenly Father and a Name He wants and prays we, as followers, will find
the same unity. This Name separates Him and our Heavenly Father from all other
gods, all other "lords", a Name making reference to His and our
Heavenly Father. Notice, also, that He says someone will come in a different
name and will be accepted (John 6:43). In this we see a prophetic statement
witnessed by the body of the Living Christ, the Church, His Church on this
Earth that an another name, a different name, a different Messiah being accepted
by the World.
Who are the anti-christs, the anti-messiah people? That question has
already been answered but here it is again – the religious Jews, the religious
Muslims of Islam, and the Pagan Christians that preach and teach in this false
name Jesus. The pagan Christians
have the right book and have the message in varying degrees but deny the
personal Savior of the Gospels and testified about in the Hebrew Scriptures.
Are names important?
The Scriptures are filled with references about names and the Name of the
Creator but for now I would like to quote just one, a verse that is a little
more personal to you, and me. We will forget that Joseph and Mary were not
allowed to name Him, we don’t need to point out that our Savior prayed His
followers would be kept in His Name, or that eventually every knew will bow to
Him and His Name, and move on to read a personal message to you.
(Revelation 3:5) He that over cometh, the same shall be clothed in white
raiment; and I will not blot out his
name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
It seems that your name is important, how much more the Messiah's, and of
our Heavenly Father? He, YaHshua, is willing to confess your name before His
Father, so, where should this leave us? How then should we treat His Name, a
Name found among the names of men but given Him by His Father from Heaven?
(Mat 10:32)Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I
confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
(2Ti 2:19) Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth
them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Php 2:10-11) That at the name of
YaHshua every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things
in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that
YaHshua the Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
So! Who are the Anti-Christs, those
Anti-to the Real Messiah?
If you haven’t guessed the answer to that question you need to reread
everything in this article. The Antichrist can be a single personality and it
can also be an uncountable number of people, like other professors of the faith
and like those of other religions -- Islam acknowledges YaHshua as a prophet
but denies Him as the Son of God, they deny Him as Savior. Anyone that denies
"YaHshua as the Messiah", come in the flesh, is an Antichrist, an
anti-messiah. Anyone denying YaHshua as Savior will also be denied, by YaHshua.
If you count yourself a believer and accept "Jesus" as Messiah and
deny "YaHshua", then you must answer the question, who is the
Messiah? Jesus or YaHshua? If you say "Jesus", knowing better, having
the knowledge of His true identity, then you qualify for the title as one of
the "AntiChrists". This is a question you need to answer. No, Jesus
is not YaHshua, and it does matter.
(Philippians 2:9-11) Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of YaHshua every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and
under the earth, and every tongue confess that YaHshua the Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father. NIV
(Heb 13:15) Through YaHshua, therefore, let us continually offer to God a
sacrifice of praise--the fruit of lips that confess his name. NIV (Most Christians and Jews)
(1Jn 2:18) 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. NIV
(2Jn 1:7) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that YaHshua the Christ is
come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. KJV (Mainly the
Muslims of the Islamic religion)
(1Jn 4:3) And every spirit
that confesseth not that Yahshua the Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:
and this is that spirit of antichrist,
whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. KJV (The Muslims following the
teachings of their Imam's fall into this category)
(1Jn 2:22) Who is a liar but he that denieth that YaHshua is the Christ? He
is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (Let no one tell you this
is not important – read this verse again)
Reading the above verses it is plain to see there can be more than one
"Antichrist", and it is the acceptance or rejection of a NAME – His
Name -- that determines this. There is another scripture that speaks of a
single individual that is identified by many as the Antichrist, and while this may be true, he is not alone.
(2Th 2:3-4) 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; Who 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.
This "man of sin" is written about and is covered by many
commentators covering many different angles to the exclusion of the other
"antichrists", in most cases ignoring the aspect of multiple
antichrists. What is unusual about this single "antichrist", this
“man of sin” is his personal deception. Not only does he deny Yahshua but goes
against all that is called God (?) -- all that is worshipped (?) -- seeing himself
as God (?). His personal deception is so great it does not only deceive his
followers but himself as well -- he believes he is God, or, in God’s stead (?).
The ultimate deceiver is one that believes the "lie" also, and while
he reached the height of deception, of deceiving and being deceived, he is not
alone. This trait is common, in varying degrees, among the great artists of
persuasion, the more you believe in your product, yourself, and the message you
preach, right or wrong, the more convincing you can be.
(2Ti 3:13) But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
All the same, this special, singular Antichrist is given something other
deceivers of the past have not ever been granted, something that will push him
over the top as the ultimate deceiver of all time head long into a deception
that will end in the worst way -- eternal death. You might say, or see, this
coming great deceiver, is the ultimate child of Satan -- Satan's attempt at
doing what has already been done, attempting to replace the real Messiah, the
true Christ.
(Rev 13:2) "... and the dragon
gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority".
(Rev 13:4) And they
worshipped the dragon which gave
power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to
make war with him?
What do we see? Satan, that old Dragon, receives adulation vicariously
through the Beast, that man and Antichrist thinking himself to be God --
Satan's desire, to be as God exhibited in him, the false Christ. The ultimate
deceiver is granted the "power" of Satan and even given his seat of
authority (Rev 13:2-4).
This has to be a really big deal for Satan, to relinquish power to a human,
even to giving up his "seat", the place of his authority? One cloud
say this deceiver will be Satan in the flesh (the stuff movies are made of). We
can look at history and see what men will do and have done thinking they are
doing the will of God, or have been chosen by God for a greater purpose. Some
have sacrificed their own lives for the sake of others but others, maybe fewer
in number, have caused either directly or indirectly the death of millions.
Imagine someone with the full power of Satan? Son of Satan -- the ultimate
deceiver and denier of YaHshua as the Christ – thinking himself God. This is
what Satan failed at and we know the Beast and his false Prophet will also
fail.
Some others have suggested the coming "Antichrist" will be a
Muslim, the 12th Imam, perhaps? This is not something new. For anyone with
access to a Clark's commentary you will see Clark saw the Islamic religion as a
religion of Satan and the Antichrists of his day and of bible prophecy. This
bible commentary dates from 1830 AD so the idea Islam is connected with the
"antichrist" image is not new, far from it.
During the same historical period when Clark saw the Muslims as the
antichrists others were naming the Roman Catholic Pope as the one calling
himself God taking titles to himself that belong to our Creator and Savior.
Certainly the office of the Pope and the men occupying that seat of power have
claimed the right to bind and lose anything on earth and in Heaven. The Roman
Catholics accept the word of the Pope over the Scriptures. Maybe this will be
the end-time false prophet?
The Jews of the Ultra-Orthodox wing are also “antichrists” and it is
conceivable the Beast could be the “man
of sin”, or the coming Beast whom the False Prophet will cause everyone
to worship. We will know that answer to these speculations one day but for
today we are witnesses of His Word and its truth as it unfolds on a world scale
and in our personal lives.
Consider
Consider, the Difference between Jesus and Yahshua!
1. Jesus followers depict
him in paintings having long hair, like a woman. Yahshua, likely had short hair considering the Apostles
instructions -- 1 Cor 11:14-15 "... if a man have long hair, it is a
shame unto him"
2. Jesus birthday is
celebrated on December 25, 01 AD (or is it 00 AD?). YaHshua's birth is not really known for sure but educated guesses
and biblical evidence suggest September - October, B.C. 4-7, probably around
the Feast of Trumpets (Holy Day for the Israelites and Jews - a day Christians
should consider with respect to Matthew 24:31). One thing is sure, the
shepherds and the sheep were still out in the open at that time of the birth.
By the month of December the sheep would have been corralled and the shepherds
indoors, winters in the area of Bethlehem are not pleasant. Nowhere is the
birth of our Savior made into a Holy day, or holiday, and not one of the
Apostles suggest we celebrate His birth. There is a lot, however, mentioned
about Him being the Passover and our Passover (not Easter, a pagan festival of
fertility and rebirth). He is the sacrificial Lamb and is our Passover but few
Christians recognize the Passover, opting instead for Easter, of pagan origin,
having to do with fertility rites and the resurrection of the Sun (sun rise
services). Please, be sure in your own mind as one man honors one day over
another and another does not, just be sure it is all in honor of your Savior,
be convinced in your own mind. Pagan festivals have no power over you, or
shouldn't one way or another. They cannot hurt you nor do you good, but whatever
you decide in His honor for He has set you free from all commandments of men.
3. Jesus is worshiped in
"Sunrise services" every Sunday Easter by millions of professing
Christians. Facing the east, early Sunday morning, professing believers pay
homage to the rising of the sun as a symbol of the rising of the Son of God
from the dead, a truly pagan practice which the Israelite priest practiced (Eze
8:16). YaHshua, in reality, had
already risen - the tomb was found "empty" early Sunday morning, the
angel telling the first visitors, "He is gone" (Mat 28:1-6).
He was not there He was already gone. His resurrection occurred late Saturday
evening. How do we know? We now consider point 4 --
4. Jesus is said to have
been crucified Friday evening and raised back to life on Sunday morning, a
length of time hardly even close to what Yahshua said – hardly counting a day
and a half. YaHshua said the
only proof he would give that He is whom He claimed to be would be the sign of
Jonah. The sign of Jonah is the defining proof and to suggest anything else is
to call the Messiah, YaHshua, a liar (forgive me Father for making such a
statement). Yahshua said, “So shall the Son of man be three days and three
night in the heart of the earth …” Jonah had been in the belly of the great
fish, prepared by YHWH for this
purpose, for three days and three nights (Jonah 1:17, Matthew 12:39-40). He was
not speaking in a general way but a very specific way and this is the proof He
gave to those doubting Him and to His disciple whom all remembered His words
later, the it really struck home and from that moment on the disciples of
YaHshua were willing to give up their own lives for the Gospel message and the
Testimony about YaHshua (Luke 24:7-9).
YaHshua was cut off in the midst of the week on
Passover Wednesday, a full three days and three nights ahead of His
resurrection, not on Friday, just as He said, just as his disciples remembered.
YaHshua spent three days and three nights in the grave, in the heart of the
earth, not a day and a half as the pagan Christians teach. -- Crucified on
Wednesday covered in death that evening as the sun began to set, resurrected
Saturday evening, exactly three days and three nights later, just as Jonah was
in the belly of the "great fish". The Christian Jesus, on the
other hand, cannot meet the truth test for the Messiah's claim of being the Son
of the Living God. Read it again - Matthew 12:39-41, Luke 11:29-32. Jesus, as
proclaimed by the vast majority of Christian teachers, was only one day and a
half in the grave, whereas YaHshua was exactly three days and three nights in
the grave, just as He said and just as His disciples remembered it.
5. Jesus is honored weekly
on the Suns-day, the first day of the week. YaHshua observed the seventh day, the Sabbath, as a day of the
week to honor the Creator God of the Bible. The Creator, YHWH, also the Creator
of the seventh day, a day He called a day of rest (Gen 2:2-3). This is keeping
with the Ten Commandments so many Christians adore but ignore. The Sabbath
command is the Fourth Command, "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it
holy" (Exodus 20:1-17). Can anyone find where in the pages of
scripture we are told the Sabbath day (seventh day of the week) had been
changed to the Sun's day, to the first day of the week? No, but the followers
of Jesus have changed the time to suit their false god, or should I say the
Pope of the Catholic religion is responsible for this changing of times and
seasons (Dan 7:25)?
A little research into the history of the church and it is easy to uncover
the changing of times (holy days) and seasons (the calendar) were hallmark
events for the Catholic Church and demonstrates is mark of supremacy over the
Christian communities, even to this day – and over the world for that matter.
The Protestants coming out of the Roman Church may have parted ways with Mother
Church but they took with them the traditions introduced by the Mother Church
as their own. Traditions finding their origins in pagan religions and cultures
dating back to Babylon and these pagan holy days (holidays) and festivals
renamed and twisted to fit certain Christian events. From the Protestant
daughters of the Roman Church other religious children (groups) were spawned in
various forms, differing in minor technical doctrine but the majority
maintaining the same celebrations the same religious festivals, and customs all
the way to accepting the false "Jesus", a false Christ, not of the
Holy bible.
The Christians preach the message of salvation but turn from the Apostles
and from what YaHshua, the real Messiah, taught chasing after and accepting as
doctrine the doctrine of devils. They have the appearance of religion but are
of the world following the ever present traditions of Babylon. The Babylonian
religion, Satan’s religion, is alive and well in the Christian Church.
All the same, it is the responsibility of the "professing
Christian" to prove the truth, "rightly dividing the word of
truth" (2 Tim 2:15). Your Salvation is your responsibility (Philippians
2:12) not someone else’s. We are commanded to study for approval (2 Tim 2:15)
an today, in this explosion of information and with the internet at our finger
tips the professing believer has little excuse for not doing just that –
proving all things, testing every spirit whether it be of man or devils or
Satan himself.
6. Jesus' followers think
they are to convert the whole world, to create the Kingdom of God on earth --
and then go to Heaven? YaHshua
says our citizenship is in heaven and that He is going to establish the Kingdom
of the Father on earth when He returns, Heaven is coming here and our
citizenship is coming with Him (Philippians 3:20-21, Eph 2:19, 1 Peter 1:17,
Rev 21).
7. Followers of Jesus say
they are commanded, commissioned, to preach the Gospel to the whole world and
then the Kingdom will come. Yahshua,
in reality, gave that command to the Apostles and even though they are all now
dead, their words and teachings cover the globe – they did as commanded and the
Holy spirit is doing the rest.
They accomplished their commission, not by their power but by His. China is
receiving the Word in their own language and this is truly a wonderful thing.
Consider, they are about the last country on the face of this earth to allow
the printing and preaching of the gospel message. We now have the gospel
message both preached and published in a book we call the Holy Bible printed in
the language of the people of China the translated words of the prophets, of
YaHshua and the Apostles. China, the last holdout, in times past, had placed
the death penalty on anyone owning a bible, let alone preaching its message in
this generation and today there are bibles coming off printing presses in China
and not just in their language. And by what power has this come about? What
power has kept the Holy Bible alive with the Apostolic message and the words of
our Savior going around the world? Who can take singular credit? This is all by
the power of the Spirit of our Heavenly Father. The Command to go to the world
was directed at the Apostles of YaHshua. And we see mission accomplished, not
by any single group or man.
The Last Command
What was and is Yahshua's last command to His followers? Contrary to what
you have been told -- read it for yourself -- the Last command or our Savior to
His followers:
Revelation 22:10 " Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let
him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do
right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy." (In other words, mind your own
business -- this is the last command of our Savior)
Does this sound like a command to convert the world? Hardly. The Spirit of
our Father moves wherever it wishes, opening and closing the minds of men and
women. By His Spirit, not by power or might is the Gospel revealed and the true
Messiah made known. Millions upon millions of believers have been murdered in
the name of Christianity under the name of Jesus, Iesus, Isous, Isis. Preaching
the gospel of men, holding the Holy Bible in one hand and a sword in the other
is totally contrary to the message of the Messiah, YaHshua. Pagan Christianity has slaughter millions in the name of
their god, Iesus, thinking they are doing THE GOD a service but in reality they
have killed many thousands of saints, those true believers and possessors of
the Holy Spirit, of YaHshua, true citizens of the coming Kingdom.
The Antichrists are those that reject Yahshua as Messiah. A time will come
when everyone, in the judgment day, will have to make a choice, Yahshua or
Jesus or some other god claiming authority belonging only to our Creator.
Salvation is found in no other.
(Rom 14:11) For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall
bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God (our Heavenly Father).
(Php 2:11) And that every tongue should confess that YaHshua the Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(Mat 10:32) Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I
confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
(Rom 10:9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Yahshua, and
shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt
be saved.
What a statement, what a powerful, powerful statement -- you can't just
think it, you must be willing to confess His Name with your mouth, confess
YaHshua is Lord. This is a perfect example of destroying the concept that it is
"what's in your heart that counts". Certainly what is in your heart
must be there before you speak, but to think that is all that’s necessary is a
mistake, you must be willing to say, "YaHshua is my Savior" -- raised
from the dead by my Heavenly Father just as He will raise me from the dead --
this I confess by my mouth, from my mind, and in writing -- HalleluYaH!
Final Note: Quoting from the Athanasian Creed of 325
AD, a creed established by the Roman Catholic Church and still considered in
full force, "And we believe in the Holy Spirit”. But, those who say, Once
he was not, or he was not before his generation, or he came to be out of
nothing, or who assert that he, the Son of God, is of a different hypostasis (a
different substance or essence) or ousia (being lower than), or that he is a creature or changeable,
or mutable, the Catholic and Apostolic /Church anathematizes them."
This Creed of the Roman Catholic Church is in stark contrast to what the
Apostles taught and in fact labels themselves and any holding to this
"Creed" of Christian Confession as "anti-christ".
(1Jn 4:1-3) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether
they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Yahshua the Christ is come in the flesh is of
God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Yahshua the Christ is come
in the flesh is not of God: and this is
that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come;
and even now already is it in the world.
The Catholic Church is also the origin of the Christian Trinity doctrine
and by their own admission, deny Yahshua came in the flesh reducing himself to
the level of man in order to save man. The denial of this is the mark of the
AntiChrist and anti-christs.
