In this essay I will discuss a little bit more about the antichrist, beast system, and mark of the beast.

Antichrist vs True Messiah

The primary risk of the end times is not the destruction of our bodies, but the destruction of our souls via worshiping the antichrist or taking his mark.

According to the scriptures, in the last days there will be a man who pretends to be Christ, – known as the Antichrist, who rules the world and persecutes the saints. He also forces people to take the mark of the beast. The scriptures imply that there is a second man who will cause the people to worship the first man, and that they will have the power to perform miracles and thereby will deceive the people. Revelations 13:15 also discusses how these men give life unto the image of the beast, causing it to speak, and force the people to worship it. People who receive this mark will not be able to go to heaven (Revelations 14:9-11). To me this “image of the beast” sounds a lot like the AI God that Elon Musk keeps talking about. I discuss the Antichrist a lot more in Uncovering Deceptions.

Therefore it is very important for us to be able to discern the difference between the true Messiah and the antichrist. Before offering any thoughts on how to do that, first I will summarize the source material:

Antichrist Scriptures

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
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;
4 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.

Daniel 7

There are four beasts which represent four kingdoms. The fourth beast has ten horns which represent ten kings, and it devours the whole earth, breaking it to pieces. Before the stout little horn three other horns fall. This little horn speaks great blasphemy and makes war with the saints overcoming them. He wears out the saints and changes the times and laws. The fourth beast is said to be diverse from the other kingdoms, likewise the little horn is said to be diverse from the first horns. The beast and the little horn are slain with the return of Christ.

Daniel 8

Discusses how the little horn takes over the world and destroys the holy people. The little horn / Antichrist also casts down the sanctuary and removes the daily sacrifice (the abomination desolation). Additionally, it says referring to the Antichrist that “by peace shall destroy many”.

Daniel 11

Beginning of the chapter – details I don’t fully understand about rulers preceding the antichrist.

The Antichrist
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

Verses 25-26 – King of the South (who opposes the antichrist) is assassinated by his own people before he can destroy the antichrist.

Abomination Desolation
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

His Rule
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god…

Rest of the chapter – details I don’t fully understand about military campaigns of the antichrist. There appears to be two kingdoms that primarily oppose the antichrist: the king of the north, and the king of the south – both of which the antichrist subdues.

Revelations 12:A great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns attempts to devour the child of the woman in travail. The dragon is Satan.

Revelations 13:A beast rises from the sea, having seven heads, ten horns (which each have a crown), and various animal body parts. The dragon gave the beast power and authority. One head was wounded to death by a sword but then is healed (causing the world to wonder). The world worships the dragon and the beast, and the beast speaks blasphemies. He makes war with the saints and overcomes them.

A second beast comes which has two horns like a lamb but spake as a dragon. The second beast has the same power as the first and causes the world to worship the first beast. The second beast deceives men with false miracles including bringing fire down from heaven. He causes people to make an image of the first beast and worship it. He gives life to this image and kills those who don’t worship it. Likewise, he causes people to receive the mark of the beast (in right hand or forehead), otherwise they cannot buy or sell. Alternatively people can receive the name of the beast or his number (666).

So, the conventional interpretation of these scriptures is that there actually are two individuals: The antichrist and the false prophet. The antichrist will rule the world, and the false prophet will perform miracles to convince people to obey the antichrist.

Revelations 17:
Whore of Babylon sits upon the beast which has ten horns and seven heads. The beast “was, and is not, and yet is”. There also are seven kings, five of which are fallen, one is, and one is to come. The beast that was, and is not, is the eight king but yet is of the seven kings. The ten horns also are kings which don’t receive power until they tear down the whore of Babylon and then receive power as kings with the beast. These kings give their kingdom unto the beast and make war with the lamb.

Revelations 20:2 – The Dragon, which is the old Serpent, which is Satan is bound for a thousand years.

Return of Messiah Scriptures

Descending out of Heaven

Acts 1:9–11 – Jesus will descend out of heaven

Revelation 1:7 – “he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him,”

1 Thessalonians 4:16–17
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Matthew 24:30–31
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Destruction of the Unbelievers Following 2^nd Coming

2 Thessalonians 1:7–9 – in flaming fire he shall take vengeance against the unbelievers following his return.

2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Additional Scriptures

Matthew 24:27
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Matthew 25:31–32 – before him all nations shall be gathered and he will separate the sheep from the goats.

Interpretation

When Jesus Returns, it will be very obvious to the world: First we will hear a trump, then he will descend out of heaven and all those who stood against him will be destroyed. Following this, the dead will be raised and the nations will be gathered before him to be judged. Moreover, we learn that the heavens will opened during his return and we will be caught up in them.

So, in the second coming Jesus will NOT be repeating his first ministry. He won’t be traveling around, doing miracles, and trying to get people to believe in him. That is what the antichrist will do.

Hopefully, these scriptures provide enough information to guide the reader into discerning the antichrist from the real messiah. I also want to reiterate that, as mentioned in End Times Timeline, I believe the Antichrist may appear just after the 3 days of darkness, thus deceiving many because they were expecting Jesus to come at that time.

Brief Description of the Beast System

My knowledge of the beast system is as follows:

Antichrist

The antichrist will likely have new age beliefs and convince people in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity that he is coming to fulfill their prophecies.
He won’t start by outright claiming to be the Christ, but he will spend time venturing out gathering followers.
He will have the ability to perform incredible miracles.

Beast system

The system will be based upon AI, and likely will involve an “AI God”.
The AI will somehow be possessed by demonic entities, much how humans can likewise be possessed.
The goal will be to fill the world with cyborgs and robots and remove all humans.
It’s likely that they will replace or alter the Bible to confuse the population.

The Mark of the Beast (MOB)

I don’t really know what it will be yet.

I think it might somehow be technological and have the ability to control us, though it will be marketed as granting us powers.
It’s likely that the mark of the beast will marketed as being the key to join a new utopian society based on technology.
Alternatively, the MOB might be a vaccine (which I discuss in Politics and Conspiracies), or maybe some sort of digital ID used for payments.

Sources discussing such a system (Latterrain333, Pursuing Jesus with Christy, Get Up N Glow, and a few others).

As previously noted, the description of how the antichrist and his prophet give life to the image of the beast in Revelations 13:15 seems much like AI.

This understanding of the system gives us a few insights into our present world:

Firstly, given the beast system will be based upon AI, it seams wise to be careful when dealing with AI in this modern day. This is articulated in this video, where Midnight Hour Oil shares that she had received these words: “to the degree a person opens up to themselves up to ai, is the same degree to which they will be deceived”.

At this moment in history, AI is still a cute little robot that only wants to help us. However, after it gains our trust, it will be used to introduce us to the beast system. Moreover, it is possible that the cute little AI chat bots that are all the rage will be used to mislead and convince us to reject the truth.

Its also worth noting a few other creepy phenomenon about AI:
–

Screens and Technology

Given the beast system AI will be possessed by demonic entities, it seems wise to assume present technology can also have connections to the dark world. Particularly, I have heard many accounts online of people finding screens to be portals to demonic influence (example). I have seen some limited evidence of this in my own life. However, my Dad has experienced it more: there is a bedroom in his house which has a tv in it (the only room with a tv), and whenever he sleeps in it, he reports having demonic experiences (such as seeing demonic entities in the room with him).

Therefore, we should try to spend some time away from technology (something I myself need to work on more).

False Rapture vs True Resurrection

Here is a good scripture about the rapture. Note that most of the relevant scriptures here were already covered in the section: “Return of Messiah Scriptures”

1 Corinthians 15:51-53
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

So, according to one of my dreams (False Rapture, 3 Days of Darkness, Transfiguration, Restoring God’s Kingdom), there will be a false rapture. This aligns with what many others have dreamt of including latterrain333, hardamber, as well as a person in real life my friend knows. What’s crazy is I only learned that hardamber has a video about a false rapture a few seconds after writing this paragraph.

From what latterrain333 said, this false rapture likely will involve UFOs sucking people up. Beyond this, I am not aware of much detail regarding this rapture. Therefore, my hope is that the scriptures will help us to discern the true rapture from the false rapture.

From the scriptures, we learn that during the rapture, our bodies will be transfigured in the twinkling of an eye. So, if people are sucked into ships but their bodies aren’t transfigured making it so they no longer can die, this is a false rapture.
