Life in the Key of 'J!': Anti-Christ: Not Who! When? (Poem, Part 1)

Welcome~

Hello and Welcome~

The world is blind to these SEVEN, pivotal facts:

1. The Bible communicates Heaven’s 'multi-millennial, strategic plan for humanity'.

2. There are SEVEN ages appointed for humanity.

3. We are nearing the end of the THIRD age, a pivotal turning point in this strategy.

4. A GREAT falling away from the Christian faith is predicted during the ending days of this THIRD age, as a result of backsliding and general lukewarmness among the heretofore faithful. Look around and this you will clearly see.

5. Biblical prophecies have been and remain seeds of human history.

6. Yet-fulfilled prophecies, unfolding apace, are worthy of diligent study.

7. Now is the time to get and stay on ‘the right side of Bible prophecy’.

Anti-Christ: Not Who! When? (Poem, Part 1)

See the series here

Search the web for ‘anti-Christ’ and eventually,

You will see Q&As about who this man might be,

Likely from folks who know some of what The Bible predicts,

About how he will put the world in a terrible fix!

And no, it is not my intention,

To contribute to such obsessions.

They have been around since BC times!

That is not the purpose of this rhyme.

First, let’s confirm something so many Christians seem to ignore,

And thus on their political opponents much scorn they pour,

By branding somebody as …‘the anti-Christ’.

In doing such, by devils they’ve been enticed!

Here’s why…

While by many Bible verses this man is characterized, ¹

Only two seem to give some clarity on when he’ll arrive.

Yet by many Christians, these verses are discounted,

Thus, by conspiracy theories, they are astounded.

‘The mystery of the lawless one is already portrayed,

Until He Who restrains him is gone, then he will be displayed.’ ²

The only One Who restrains the anti-Christ’s unveiling,

Is The Holy Spirit, Whose perfect timing’s un-failing!

Determining when from Earth’s scene He might adjourn,

Likely relates to when on Earth He was discerned.

That happened on the birthday of The Church, The Day of Pentecost,

Fifty days after Christ’s resurrection from His death on the cross. ³

It stands to reason that His departure,

Might correlate with The Church’s rapture, ⁴

Opening a window for the anti-Christ’s unveiling,

When to satan’s evil power, there’ll be …no curtailing!

We who believe the rapture will precede The Lord’s judgment,

Poured upon this sinful world that refuses to repent, ⁵

Should be at peace, knowing this man we will not confront,

Until we face him on …Armageddon’s battlefront!!! ⁶

Let's address that in Part 2
