Anti-Christ: Not Who! What? (Poem, Part 2)

See the series here

Since BC times, Christians reportedly speculated,

About who was the anti-Christ man in their days,

And on political opponents, many cast this title.

But today, if Christians believe what is written in The Bible,

And understand The Lord’s ‘Goshen Effect’ displays,

Then from such temptations, they should be well-insulated. ¹

But apparently some don’t, and therefore, they’re not.

Besmirching political opponents as ‘the’ anti-Christ,

Continues even in our days.

This is the message Paul relays:

The Holy Spirit now restrains this man from coming to light.

When The Holy Spirit leaves, this man will be …hot! ²

Since The Holy Spirit gave birth to The Church,

It’s safe to believe He’ll leave when she’s raptured.

Therefore, by this man, The Church will not be confronted.

Until…

With Christ, we’ll face him on …Armageddon’s battlefront!!!

But what will happen when this man is captured,

When by Christ, he is knocked off his global perch?!

Paul says he will be consumed by The Lord’s breath and brightness.

Zachariah says, right where they stand on Israel’s mountains,

His armies, not him, will completely dissolve! ³

Isaiah say more than this man is involved!!!

To comprehend this, let’s sip from several …‘Bible fountains’.

Hold on tight, because this may challenge your …‘Bible nimbleness’.

Remember…

Biblical wisdom is hidden for, not from us,

Us who are diligent, born-again Truth seekers.

Thus, the world in all of its machinations,

Works to captivate our imaginations,

To the point where we become its own soothsayers,

 Crowding out any and everything from Jesus.

The Bible paints this aggregate, using typologies.

The anti-Christ’s government shall comprise four parts:

At its core will be satan, formerly Lucifer.

From him will arise ten strongmen, national leaders.

Next is his son, a man, who will capture folks’ hearts.

Lastly, a prophet will promote the son’s mythologies.

Into his son and his son’s prophet, satan will pour,

The fullness of his dark, Christ-, Jews- and saints-hating spirit.

With the objective the whole world to dominate,

And all folks who convert to Christ to decapitate,

He’ll ensure everyone else joins him in hell’s fiery pit.

His final destination The Lord God has in store. ⁴

With a large, hot war strewn across Israel’s mountains,

She’ll be desperate for relief from the Gog/Magog attack!

Thus, The Lord will fulfill Zechariah’s prophecy, so stark. ⁵

But wait…

These armies are just an instrument of the global monarch!

I suspect the main ‘playahs’ will be somewhere else, laying back!

So what will The Lord have in store for these barbarians?!

Revelation answers from the spiritual side:

All devils will be locked away, their judgment pending.

Will they join all those devils who ‘left their proper domain’,

Causing The Lord to send the flood, and these devils detain??

To hell with them?! Nope! Just a temporary benching! ⁶

For now, let’s move on over to the physical side.

To both sides, Isaiah shares with us all that he knew:

The Lord will punish the host of exalted ones on high,

And on Earth, the kings will be imprisoned, and later punished.

Revelation 19 says the the two key men will be banished,

Cast into the lake of fire burning with brimstone, alive!

This suggests they will then be immortal, through and through!!! 7

By then, we immortal saints may know the full details,

Of the temporary benching of these dreadful foes.

For now, we know at the end of The Millennial Reign,

From his prison, satan will be released, on Earth ‘to raise Cain!’

And in another war, Israel will meet its foes,

Whom The Lord will destroy, and His ‘new’ saints will prevail. ⁸

Conclusion

Like a predator in a tank of fish shipped shore-to-shore, ⁹

The kingdom of satan is serving The Lord’s strategy:

To reveal and challenge His saints to be strong overcomers,

And allow devils to become other folks’ manipulators.

Both The Kingdom of God and of satan are seemingly,

Achieving their objectives through …things we love and abhor.

Caveat!!!

¹ See: Goshen Effect (Series)

² Poetically summarized. See: 2 Thessalonians 2. The ‘falling away’ from the faith that Paul mentions is evident across the world today, right on schedule. By ‘hot’, I mean attractively revealed. Daniel 7:20 reveals the anti-Christ man will be very attractive, and we (and devils) know very well what that infers in our ‘looks-oriented’ world!

³ See: Zechariah 14:12

⁴ See: Revelation 7:9-17 and 13:7. See also: The Goshen Effect, Grand Finale (Poem, Part 5)

and Earth’s Next Versions (Series).

⁵ See: Revelation - Future Attacks in Israel. Three future attacks in Israel are predicted: two before The Millennial Reign (the 1st War of Gog and Maagog, and the Armageddon War), and one afterwards (the 2nd War of Gog and Magog). See: Ezekiel 38 and Zechariah 14:12; Revelation 19:17-21; and Revelation 20:7-10.

⁶ Revelation 20:1-3 says, for a thousand years, satan's kingdom will be confined to the bottomless pit, which is not the eternal lake of fire. See: Humans’ DNA Hacked (Poem)

⁷ Isaiah 24:21-23, poetically summarized. This entire chapter might be interpreted to be a succinct summary of the run-up to the great tribulation and The Millennial Reign. I know of no other Bible chapter that is so comprehensive, summarizing hints found across the Bible! That’s incredible. As The Bible’s first and longest prophetic book, it’s definitely worth repeated in-depth study and strategic analysis. See: Revelation 19:20. Scouring the Scriptures, it appears these two men, the anti-Christ and his prophet, may become the FIRST residents of the eternal lake of fire, which Isaiah 66:22-24 reveals will be ...somewhere ON THE NEW EARTH!

⁸ Raising Cain is a euphemism for raising all hell. Revelation 20 briefly summarizes life after the Millennial Reign. The operative question is how long will this ‘little while’ last? For more on this point, search this blog for that expression. Be sure to see Part 5 (Summary) of this series!
