Hello everybody, it's me, Mr. Tall23, back in our video, just going to do a quick sound
check first to make sure that the sound is working.
Okay, so the sound is working.
All right, so let's get into the video.
All right, so in this video I want to talk about the possible identity of the future
Antichrist, the man of sin, the beast that's spoken of in the book of Revelation that will
one day rule the world.
And of course, what I'm going to be talking about in this video are mainly theories.
There's no possible way that we can know for sure who it is or we can interpret it 100%
correctly.
I don't think that I'm actually going to put it spot on.
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong.
I don't know.
We don't know for sure who the beast is until the end times actually take place, until the
time in which he is revealed and sits in the temple of God declaring himself to be God
according to 2 Thessalonians 2.
That's when he is revealed.
That's in the midpoint of the week at the time of the abomination desolation that hasn't
happened yet.
So the scriptures tell us that that one day will happen in the midst of that final seven
years until the kingdom of God is established, that in the midpoint the beast will declare
himself to be God and that's when he will be revealed.
Now the beast and what he shall do in the last days is described in the book of Revelation
as follows in Revelation chapter 13 verse 1 to 8, it says, and I stood upon the sand
of the sea and saw a beast rise up out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns and
upon his horns ten crowns and upon his heads the name of blasphemy and the beast which
I saw was like unto a leopard and his feet were as the feet of a bear and his mouth as
the mouth of a lion and the dragon gave him his power and his seat and great authority
and I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death and his deadly wound was healed and
all the world wondered after the beast and they worshiped the dragon which gave power
unto the beast and they worshiped the beast saying who is like unto the beast who is able
to make war with him and there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies
and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months and he opened his mouth in
blasphemy against God to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and then that dwell in
heaven and it was given unto him to make war with the saints and overcome them and power
was given him over all kindreds and tongues and nations and all that dwell upon the earth
shall worship him whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from
the foundation of the world.
But we know several things about this beast and what he shall do in the future just from
this one passage here in Revelation 13 that he's one who receives a deadly wound but the
deadly wound is healed and as a result of that all the world wonders after the beast
and they worship him and they bow down to him and he exalts himself as a god and that's
with the exception of believers.
Believers do not worship him.
They are the ones who he fights against.
The world will worship the beast who is given all authority and power over the earth.
It's a one world government, a one world religion, a one world economy as we see later in the
chapter with the mark of the beast.
And then it says that he will make war against the saints in verse 7 and he will persecute
them during these last days.
But of course as Jesus reveals in Matthew chapter 24 those days this time of great tribulation
will be shortened by the coming of Christ and they which are alive and remain shall
be raptured into heaven before the wrath of God is poured out upon the earth.
But the question we're looking into in this video is who is the antichrist or the beast
of the sea that is mentioned in this chapter and is it possible to know who this person
is?
Now I believe that there are clues that are given in the scriptures which show us that
yes we can know the truth about the beast.
Firstly just looking at Revelation 13 it tells us that one of the seven heads of the beast
is wounded to death it says and his deadly wound was healed.
And that refers specifically to a wound.
So he's not dying of natural causes.
He doesn't die of cancer or something like that.
He dies of some kind of physical trauma whether it's being shot or stabbed or cut up we don't
know but it says that he died from this wound and somehow came back from the dead.
Now the following chapters in the book of Revelation explain this in more detail.
In Revelation chapter 17 it says in verse 7 to 12,
And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel?
I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which
hath the seven heads and ten horns.
The beast that thou sawest was and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit,
and go into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names are
not written in the book of life, from the foundation of the world, when they behold
the beast that was and is not and yet is.
And here is the mind which hath wisdom, the seven heads or seven mountains on which the
woman sitteth.
And there are seven kings, five are fallen and one is, and the other is not yet come.
And when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
And the beast that was and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth
into perdition.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet,
but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
So John sees the harlot of Babylon, the great whore, which is riding upon a scarlet beast,
whose description is the same as the beast that is given in Revelation 13 has seven heads
and ten horns.
So it s revealed what the meaning behind the vision of the beast is.
The beast, as in the antichrist according to verse 8, was and is not and shall ascend
out of the bottomless pit.
Now notice what s written here.
Pay attention when it says that the beast was, meaning he was alive, he had already
lived upon the earth, and he is not and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit.
Now the question is, from what perspective is the angel telling this to John in the book
of Revelation?
And I would say from the perspective of the first century, when John was writing the book
of Revelation, since it says that the beast shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, we
know that this has not yet happened, but it s a future event.
However, since is not is present tense, he said that the beast was and is not, since
that s present tense, we also know that the beast is not alive at the time that John was
writing in the late first century.
Furthermore, it s written at the end of the chapter in Revelation 17 verse 18, And the
one which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Notice that this is also in present tense.
At the time when John is writing, Rome was the great city that reigned over the kings
of the earth.
And it s not difficult to see that Babylon is to be identified with Rome, since in the
same chapter it says that the woman sits upon seven mountains, and Rome of course was built
upon seven mountains.
Not only that, but the description of being drunk with the blood of the saints fits perfectly
both with the Roman Empire and the later Roman Catholic Church, which arose out of the city
of Rome.
They persecuted the people of God throughout history.
Therefore, since John is writing in present tense in this chapter, we know that at the
time John was writing, the beast was already dead.
He was and is not, but we are told in the future he shall ascend out of the bottomless
pit.
The phrase is not is used in the Bible to refer to those who have died.
In Genesis chapter 37, for example, when Jacob thought that Joseph had died, he said the
child is not.
A few chapters later, the brethren of Joseph say, We be twelve brethren, sons of our father,
one is not, because they thought Joseph was dead, and the youngest is this day with our
father in the land of Canaan.
So at the time of John writing Revelation, he says already that the beast is not, although
he was, meaning that he had already been alive.
So I don t think this is referring to a future person who we ve never seen before, who has
never been on this earth, who has never been born into this world.
But hold on.
We re not done yet, because it also says in Revelation 17 that there are seven kings,
and it specifies that of those seven kings, five have fallen, one is, and the other is
not yet come.
Then it says in verse 11, And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and
is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
So the seven kings that were just mentioned, which are represented by the seven heads of
this beast, one of them is the beast, meaning the antichrist, and he also becomes the eighth
king.
Now that makes sense, because as we saw in Revelation 13, the antichrist is one of the
seven heads of the beast which was wounded to death.
He has seven heads, the beast that rose out of the sea, and one of those heads is wounded
unto death, but his deadly wound is healed.
That s the, those are the seven kings, one of those seven kings becomes the eighth king,
the king that all the world wonders after.
Now it can just be assumed also that the beast is not the seventh king for several
reasons.
Firstly, because if one is the seventh king, they can t also be the eighth king.
The example I usually think of when I explain this is the example of Grover Cleveland.
He was both the 22nd and the 24th president of the United States, because Benjamin Harrison
was the 23rd president, he was president between his terms.
He did not have two consecutive terms like Barack Obama or George Bush did.
So if he had gotten elected after his first term immediately, he would have remained the
22nd president and not become the 23rd.
That makes sense, right?
So secondly, the fact that the beast was and is not shows that he cannot be the king which
is yet to come because he s already reigned upon the earth according to this.
He was and is not.
At the time of John, he was already dead.
So identifying who these seven kings are would possibly help us to understand who the beast
is.
What singles them out and makes them part of this set of seven kings which is just called
the beast?
Obviously, there s been more than seven kings throughout history, so who are these seven
specific kings?
Who do they represent?
Well, just considering the context, since the seven heads are associated with the city
of Rome, it may be concluded by some, and I m not saying that this is my interpretation,
but some may say that the seven kings are Roman emperors.
However, that doesn t make any sense because they were more than seven Roman emperors.
Now why does it stop after only the seventh?
The seventh Roman emperor was nothing special.
There was nothing important that happened when he died or there s nothing unusual or
anything like that.
It just went on to the next emperor.
The seventh Roman emperor was a man named Otho.
He was nothing special.
He only reigned for three months.
He was one of the four emperors ruling in 69 AD who was appointed by the Praetorian
Guard.
The person who replaced him was named Vitellius, and then after him was Vespasian, and then
after him was Titus, and then after him was Domitian, I think.
So it just continued.
There was nothing that happened at that time.
So it s not seven Roman emperors.
I think it s more specific than just saying that he s a Roman emperor.
Even though the city of Rome is called Babylon in Revelation 17, it s not the only city which
was ever called Babylon, believe it or not.
I m pretty sure you know that.
I believe that this is a representative of the Babylonian system, not just a specific
city, but all cities which have had the spirit of Babylon, just like Jerusalem is called
in the book of Revelation spiritually Sodom and Egypt.
Now, Jerusalem is not literally Sodom and Egypt.
It s not literally the city of Sodom, and it s not literally the land of Egypt, but
that spirit of Sodom and Egypt is in Jerusalem.
The same thing with Babylon.
That spirit of Babylon has been in multiple cities and multiple places throughout history,
multiple different kingdoms.
So babel means confusion, as explained in Genesis chapter 11 when the Tower of Babel
was built, where the world tries to build a tower to heaven and all rallies around in
one nation.
They all unite together in one nation, even though God ordained separate nations, and
they unite together.
They try to reach heaven, and they fail, and God confuses their languages, and therefore
that place is called babel because that means confusion.
In addition, the beast, not the antichrist, but the kingdom of the beast, the beast that
rose out of the sea that has the seven heads, as represented in Revelation 13, it has the
characteristics of a bear, a leopard, and a lion.
Now interestingly, these are the three beasts which are given in Daniel 7 which represent
the kingdoms of Babylon, Persia, and Greece.
Since the beast that rises out of the sea is not just the antichrist but the seven kings
in total, the seven heads and not just the one which is rooted unto death, we can thus
say that the beast upon which the great harlot rides is not just one kingdom, but many throughout
the past.
It's not just the Roman emperors, but perhaps seven kings which represented the spirit of
the antichrist, the spirit of Babylon, as I said before.
So as it says in the Bible, antichrist shall come, but even now there are many antichrists,
the Bible says in 1 John.
So antichrist just means instead of Christ, or in place of Christ, any king that has had
the characteristics of the end times beast, particularly that of the four kingdoms in
the book of Daniel, we might consider those to be representative of these seven kings.
So the seven kings are seven kingdoms of Babylon, not of the actual city of Babylon, but the
spirit of false religion and exaltation as God in place of the true God, Jesus Christ.
So who are the seven kings of Babylon?
First of all, I should also point out that the title of king does not necessarily refer
to an individual ruler, but it also represents the seat or position of a king.
Like if we were to say the president of the United States, we're not just talking about
Donald Trump, who is the current president, but the position which has been held by many
people in the past.
And we see that in Daniel seven, because it's written in verse 17 of the four beasts that
Daniel saw, it says the four beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise
out of the earth.
But then later in the chapter in verse 23, it is written, the fourth beast shall be the
fourth kingdom upon earth.
So king and kingdom are used interchangeably.
First he says the beasts are kings.
Now he says it's a kingdom.
So it's not just a person, but the seat of power as well.
And that'll be important to understand for later.
So if we look throughout history at kings, which have been anti-Christ, I think this
is just a list, which may not be an actual representation of them.
The Bible doesn't expressly tell us who these seven kings are, but just looking at the kings
that are given in the Bible and in the context of the Bible, this is just a guess of the
list of the list of possible kings, which would fit this description.
Some of it may be wrong or whatever.
That doesn't really matter too much.
I think the first of the seven would be Nimrod, who was the original builder of Babylon, who
according to Genesis chapter 10 was mighty before the Lord, meaning he was against the
Lord.
Now he was the one who built the city of Babel according to Genesis 10.
That's where his kingdom began.
And that's where the system of false work, salvation and universal one world religion
began.
So the first kingdom is the ancient kingdom of Babel with the ruler being Nimrod.
Now the second king might have been the king of Tyrus, who in Ezekiel chapter 28 is compared
with Satan as being one who lifted himself against God, who said to be and eat in the
garden of God, but who shall be cast down and burnt with fire.
That may be a possibility.
The third king, we might say to be Babylon, the neo-Babylonian empire as it's called with
its ruler Nebuchadnezzar, because of the fact that the beast in Revelation 13 has the characteristics
of the four kingdoms in Daniel 7 and the lion represented Nebuchadnezzar.
The fourth king could be a Persian king, because again of the bear that represents, or that's
part of the Revelation 13 beast, because the kings of Persia had many exalting titles.
For example, Xerxes called himself the great king, the king of kings, the king of the provinces
with many tongues, the king of this great earth far and near.
The fifth king, I would say, refers to Antiochus the fourth of the Seleucid empire, which was
one of the successor Hellenistic states that split off from Alexander the Great's Macedonian
empire, so this is Greece.
And he called himself Theos Epiphanes, which means the manifest god, and he was responsible
for setting up an idol in the temple in Jerusalem in 167 BC.
He outlawed obedience to the laws of God, he killed many Jews, and he's the subject
of Daniel 8 and Daniel 11, the latter of which is principally a prophecy of Assyrian Wars,
which ends in the description of the coming king Antiochus.
I'll get into that a bit more later, and I'll probably make a separate video going into
that in detail.
I did make a video on that in the past, but I got rid of that video because it was back
in the days when I was in the Hebrew Roots movement, and I was using some false Bible
version and all the Hebrew Roots weird doctrine, etc.
So I'll just make another video about that subject in another time.
The sixth king, I believe, was probably one of the Roman emperors, I would say Nero, because
he was the first Roman emperor to persecute Christians, and he was an extremely bloodthirsty
king, he exalted himself as a god, and definitely the sixth kingdom would probably be the Roman
empire, and that's the one that now is during the time of John, since there are five that
have fallen and one now is, talking about the kingdom or the empire of Rome.
So who the seventh king is, I don't really know.
It's either somebody who was ruled in the 2000 years since the book of Revelation was
written or somebody who has not yet come.
Maybe it was Napoleon, maybe it was Hitler, whoever, I don't know, maybe it's the United
States, because if we're talking about the kings as kingdoms as it's given in Daniel
chapter 7, and it could be the United States, it could be some other superpower that exists
right now, the European Union, whatever you want to say it is, but as I said earlier,
the evidence in Revelation 17 seems to indicate that the Antichrist is not the seventh king,
but a king of the distant past who has already died and went to hell, so I don't think the
interpretation of the seventh king is really actually necessary for this video.
So since the Antichrist is an individual king, a man who receives a deadly wound and arises
out of hell, he must therefore be from one of those six kingdoms that have already fallen,
as of now, the five that have fallen at the time of John and the one that was at the time
of John, which of course fell later.
Now there are a few additional details given in the Bible I want to look at to talk about
who this seventh head is, who the final king is, or the final king, the eighth king, the
beast.
Firstly, the number of the beast, the Bible says, Revelation chapter 13 verse 18, it says
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.
So the number of this man who is the beast is six hundred and sixty-six, thus, whoever
the Antichrist is, he's a person whose name is equivalent to that number somehow.
I think that there's another clue about who this is in the book of 2nd Thessalonians,
in chapter 2 verse 6 to 8, it says, Now you know what withholdeth that he might be revealed
in his time, for the mystery of iniquity doth already work, only he who now letteth will
let until he be taken out of the way, and then shall that wicked be revealed, and the
Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness
of his coming.
Now this passage is misused by a lot of dispensationalists out there because they fail to read the Bible
without using Schofield's notes.
They think that that's their final authority instead of what the Bible just clearly says.
So according to Cyrus Schofield, this is talking about the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost.
Now that makes no sense, firstly, because the Holy Ghost is not mentioned in the passage
at all, so he's just reading something in the text, just making something up.
And second, according to Psalm 139, the Holy Ghost is omnipresent.
He says, Where shall I go from thy spirit?
And then he says, If I ascend into heaven, you're there.
If I make my bed in hell, you're there.
The Holy Ghost is everywhere.
You can't take him out of the way, you can't be removed from the world, as Cyrus Schofield
said that that will happen at the rapture.
To say that the Holy Ghost can be taken out of the way is stupid and blasphemous.
The only time the Spirit is ever even mentioned in the book of Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians,
referring specifically to the Holy Spirit is several verses later where it says sanctification
of the Spirit, and that's already after it's moved on from talking about the revelation
of the man of sin.
Just read 2 Thessalonians 2, verse 6 to 8 in context without letting man's opinions
and theological ideas get in your mind.
The only person mentioned thus far in the chapter or in the surrounding context is the
man of sin, who is talked about in verses 3 and 4.
It says, The man of sin revealed the son of perdition who opposes and exalts himself above
all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he is God's citizen of the temple
of God, showing himself that he is God.
Now the subject of verses 6 and 7 is one which withholdeth, something that holds back
the revelation of the man of sin.
Verse 7 it says, He who now letteth will let until he be taken out of the way, and then
shall that wicked be revealed.
So the man of sin is not revealed until that which letteth, which means withholdeth, is
removed.
So the question is, who is Paul speaking of?
Now I believe that the clue lies in the statement, he who now letteth.
That's present tense, again we have to pay attention to the tenses in the Bible.
Whatever is holding back the antichrist from coming, it is there even in Paul's day.
The mystery of iniquity is already working in Paul's day according to him.
So in the book of Revelation we know that the distinguishing thing about the antichrist
is that he was wounded to death, but ascended out of the bottomless pit, or he shall ascend
out of the bottomless pit in the end times.
And that's what caused the world to wonder after him and worship him as a god.
So what was stopping the beast from being revealed is that he did not die yet.
That is in Paul's time that he's writing this epistle, 2nd Thessalonians.
So I believe that in Paul's time the antichrist was alive.
So the main theory that I want to put forth in this video is that the end times antichrist
is the Roman emperor Nero, resurrected from the dead and possessed by the devil.
Now why do I say that?
Firstly because he was the Roman emperor at the time of the epistle of 2nd Thessalonians.
But by the time that John had written Revelation it was likely that he had already died, and
therefore he says that the beast was and is not.
The beast was already dead in John's day, but it's prophesied that he shall ascend out
of the bottomless pit.
Nero was also the first ruler of Rome, which is Babylon, to persecute Christians.
He hated Christians.
He used the fire in Rome in 64 AD as a pretense to light Christians on fire himself.
He exalted himself as a god.
He even built a statue in Rome called the colossus of Nero.
Nero also died by a deadly wound.
It was assisted suicide by being stabbed in the neck.
Of course the number of the beast, 666, is the number of Nero's name in Hebrew.
Hebrew gematria shows that the name of Nero's caesar equals 666.
Therefore I believe that there's good reason to believe that Nero shall be the antichrist,
the man of sin who ascends out of the bottomless pit, who was taken out of the way, he died,
who received the deadly wound, whose name is 666, who hated and persecuted believers,
and who I think will continue to hate and persecute believers, who believe himself also
to be a god, and who will again exalt himself as god.
Now in addition I think it should be interesting to note that there was a legend in the days
of the Roman Empire called the Nero redivivus legend, which was told among the Romans, and
that legend is the idea that Nero would come back, that he hadn't actually died or that
if he did die he would come back and he would rule Rome again and destroy all of Rome's
enemies, that one day he would be revived again.
Now don't get me wrong by the way, I'm not claiming the preterist view, because there
is a view out there that all the events of the book of Revelation have already taken
place, which obviously is false because there's a lot of things in the book of Revelation
which definitely have not happened yet, the wrath of God especially upon this earth, you
know the 200 million man army in Revelation 9, the locusts, God raining fire and brimstone
upon the nations of this earth, every city falling, things like that, that hasn't happened
yet, but preterists say oh yeah this is all already fulfilled, which is ridiculous, that's
completely unsubstantiated, the scriptures make it clear that the beast is of the seven
kings, it calls him the beast that was and is not and who shall ascend out of the bottomless
pit, so it's a prophecy of the future, at the time of John he shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit, he is saying that he will come up from hell, it's a king who ruled Babylon
who will one day be a king again and exalt himself as God.
Further evidence of this can possibly be found in the book of Daniel where it talks about
the little horn, in Daniel 7 verse 4 to 9 it says the first was like a lion and had
eagles wings, I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked and it was lifted up from the
earth and made stand upon the feet as a man and man's heart was given to it and behold
another beast a second like to a bear and it raised up itself on one side and had three
ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it and they said thus unto it arise devour
much flesh, after this I beheld and lo another like a leopard which had upon the back of
it four wings of a fowl, the beast also had four heads and dominion was given to it.
After this I saw in the night visions and behold a fourth beast dreadful and terrible
and strong exceedingly and had great iron teeth, it devoured and break in pieces and
stamped the residue with the feet of it and it was diverse from all the beasts that were
before it and had ten horns, I considered the horns and behold there came up among them
another little horn before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the
roots and behold and as this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man and mouth speaking
great things, I beheld that the thrones were cast down and the ancient of days did sit
whose garment was white as snow and the hair of its head like the pure wool, its throne
was like the fiery flame and his wheels as burning fire and then later in the chapter
in verse 23 to 26 it says thus he said the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon
earth which shall be diverse from all kingdoms and shall devour the whole earth and shall
tread it down and break it in pieces and the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings
that shall arise and another shall rise after them and he shall be diverse from the first
and he shall subdue three kings and he shall speak great words against the most high and
shall wear out the saints of the most high and think to change times and laws and they
shall be given into his hand until a time and times of the dividing of time but the
judgment shall sit and they shall take away his dominion to consume and to destroy it
unto the end.
If we compare Daniel 7 with the earlier prophecy in Daniel 2 of the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's
dream we know that the succession of kingdoms are represented first by Babylon the kingdom
that was present at that time and if you read this chapter in Daniel 7 where it describes
this lion the description of it is like Nebuchadnezzar I'll go back to it it says that the first
was like a lion had eagle's wings the wings thereof were plucked it was lifted up from
the earth and made stand upon the feet as a man and man's heart was given to it I believe
that that is a representation of Nebuchadnezzar's insanity you see in Daniel chapter 4 that
or was it Daniel Daniel 4 or Daniel 5 no yeah it was Daniel 4 because Daniel 5 is when there
was a writing on the wall so it's Daniel 4 which is written by Nebuchadnezzar where he
described how God made him mad for a period of time and that's the description of that
in Daniel chapter 7 so the first is Babylon and then Persia and then Greece and then Rome
the third kingdom for example Greece represented by the leopard in verse 6 it has four heads
and four wings which most likely represent the four states that follow Alexander's empire
because it was split up after his death in among four of his generals Ptolemy,
Seleucus, Lysimachus and Cassander and we see that in the next chapter as well in Daniel chapter 8
where it's talking about the fighting between Greece and Persia the ram and the goat and the
goat had one horn and it says that that one horn represents the first king of Greece and then it
says that after he died that his kingdom was split into four parts so we have this one king and then
it's split among four different kings that's the same as Greece as this leopard in Daniel chapter
7 but notice the description of the little horn it tells us that the little horn comes up among
10 other kings and subdues three of them in verse 25 it describes what the little horn is like
that he wears out the saints of the most high he changes times and laws he is in power for a time
and times and the dividing of a time it says in verse 25 now that's exactly how long the
bible says that the beast is in power in revelation 13 for three and a half years or 42 months
a time times and a dividing of a time or half a time and not only that but it says that there
will be 10 kings as well that shall arise out of the last beast now we know from the book of
revelation in chapter 17 that the end times beasts also had 10 horns that represent 10 kings that
rule with the beast so therefore since these horns are said to arise out of this last kingdom
which most likely represents rome i think that it makes sense that this little horn
in daniel chapter 7 uh is the antichrist who opposes himself against god and that he's from
the fourth kingdom which is rome now whether or not you agree with that that theory again as i
said at the beginning of the video that's fine it's just an interpretation of bible prophecy
obviously we're not going to know everything until the end times come you know there's even
things in the book of revelation which have not been fully revealed to us like the seven thunders
now that the seven thunderous voices from heaven in revelation 10 john was going to write them down
but uh the angel told him not to and told the seal up until the time of the end so there's a
lot of things which are in bible prophecy which we don't need to know like we know this and this
and this and this or it's going to happen but we don't need to know every single detail uh we'll
see it when it happens until the man of sin is actually revealed in the temple of jerusalem
at the midpoint of the 70th week we're not going to know for sure who the man of sin is
now there are also other theories that i have i think this is the most likely that will be narrow
but one other i've considered lately is the possibility that entiacus epiphanies who i
mentioned earlier is the king who rises again based on daniel chapter 8 and daniel chapter 11
i might make make another video again going into more detail on the prophecies of daniel 8 and 11
talking about their historical context etc but just as a summary then chapter 8 clearly identifies
the subjects in that chapter as the ram which had two horns represents uh the meads and the persians
and the goat represents greece the horn on his head again represents the first king which is
obviously alexander the great then it says that he dies and is replaced with four kingdoms again
that's the celiacate empire which uh paul mee egypt and then the kingdoms of lascivicus and
cassander the four kingdoms that the macedonian empire split into uh it then says that it's in
the latter time of these kingdoms that a king of fierce countenance and understanding dark sentences
shall stand up and describes him as taking the daily sacrifice away by reason of transgression
and we know that that was fulfilled historically at 167 bc by antica entiacus epiphanies then in
daniel chapter 11 it clearly describes the syrian wars it explains the activities of the kings of
the north and the south which i believe to be the celiacate empire and the tomaic egypt and then in
the latter part of the chapter described as a final king which again based on the succession
of kings in history the description of this person is undoubtedly antiocas epiphanies again
i'll make another video going into that explaining why i believe that it says in verse 31 of this
uh about the same king an arm shall stand on this part and they shall pollute the sanctuary
of strength and shall take away the daily sacrifice and they shall place the abomination
that make it desolate and then in verse 36 it says and he shall exalt himself and magnify himself
above every god and shall speak marvelous things against the god of gods so this is a good
description of the antichrist it's almost just like in second thessalonians 2 that he exalts
himself as a god and sits in the temple of god he sets up the abomination of desolation
yet it's describing something which already happened a picture of the antichrist
because the abomination of desolation is not like some special mystical thing it's just an
abomination an idol that's what the bible uh constantly calls idols abominations that makes
it desolate he's going to set up an idol the image of the beast in the temple and then in verse 40 it
skips to the time of the end in daniel chapter 11 it describes him and then it says that at the
time of the end shall the king of the south push at him and the king of the north shall come
against him like a whirlwind now there's nobody else mentioned besides this one king who shall
exalt himself as a god so we know it's talking about the same person implying that somehow in
the time of the end this same king is still in power and we know from the next chapter in daniel
chapter 12 verse 1 that it says that this time of the end is when michael stands up for his people
when there is a time of great trouble and when the resurrection takes place from daniel chapter
12 verse 1 to 3 so it's literally talking about the time of the end the 70th week when the uh
rapture takes place when satan's cap casts out of heaven when there's the time of great tribulation
therefore considering that in piacos also died by a deadly wound he died uh violently in a chariot
accident it may be also that he will be the antichrist now the only thing which does not
fit is that his name does not equal 666 unless i'm missing something maybe i'm missing one of
his titles or not putting into hebrew or whatever because uh i i only found like his uh i don't
exactly know how to spell his different titles in hebrew or whatever i know i found like uh
the spelling of his hebrew name in uh antiakus but not any of his different titles out there
epiphanies meaning manifest epimani was another title of him it means the mad one
nikofaros which means bringer of victory these were all titles that antiakus was given so like
i said earlier we may not know exactly who it is right now i will find out later but based on what
the book of revelation says and what the book of second thessalonians says and the book of daniel
says i do not believe that this is some future random person who just has never been born again
or never been born before i don't think it's obama or donald trump or somebody who's living
right now uh you know something you know people will have all these weird theories it's it's
obama right they said that but now obama is nothing he's just you know he is president now
he's out of office nobody even cares about him nobody pays any attention to him so yeah good good
luck with that and then they they'll give all these evidence barack obama means satan falling
from heaven in hebrew or something that's silly uh i don't want to get into that but anyway the
scriptures say that the antichrist is one that was and is not but shall ascend out of the bottomless
pit so right now he's in hell and who it is that will ascend out of hell i don't know for sure but
i think that the best theory in my opinion is nero so reviewing the evidence for that he was
a king of rome which is babylon who exalted himself who died by a deadly wound who persecuted
kerchins and his name equals 666 so wow seven people watching hello everybody so anyway
i'm just gonna read the comments king kardashian or babylon
no hi mr tall god bless you hello new york equals babylon hollywood is babylon deep
bill gates babylon is the great city that ruleth over the kings of the earth it's not a person
anyway the beast is a person meaning the beast that received a deadly wound and by the way uh
while we're talking about modern people i could just uh mention this on the on the end now that
we're closing one thing i was thinking about uh actually i think it was two weeks ago it was
mother's day i was at my brother's house and i was just sitting there and just hanging out with my
my family and my older brother mentioned he was just having a conversation my mother and i
overheard him saying something about elon musk and how he wanted to put chips in people's brains
or something like that like computer chips in people's brains and i looked that up and it was
actually a thing that he said uh maybe elon musk is going to be the false prophet i mean
he we know that he's an atheist he doesn't believe in god and people are lifting him up
all these great scientists or whatever you know who cares uh who cares that he's invented all
these things it's a bunch of useless stuff anyway so he wants to he said something along the lines
of man cannot survive unless uh they merge with machines he's like this big he wants everybody
to become a cyborg he wants to put chips in people's brains he's an advocate for the the
microchips and things like that so if we interpret the mark of the beast as microchip you know
he might be the the false prophet so we never know about that so that's just the thing i
could mention on the end even though it doesn't really concern this video i want to focus on the
beast of the sea in this video not the beast of the earth so thank you everybody for watching
that's it for today goodbye
