Heidi--- You know how they say when the levy breaks praying won't do you know good! Well the dam is about to break with everything set up just in time for this last piece to fall into the palm of the anti-christ--The Peace and Security deal! I'm going by the other signs that have come and gone and how close we are to the mark of the beast which is a midtrib event! I can't wait to show everybody the new research on the Revelation 15 sign---it will nail the end of the tribulation period down to at least within a year or ywo at the most-I mean it-it is that exact!! Geri7-- You just gave me another eye opener that I didn't see before--- The Revelation 18 Babylon downfall coming near the end of the tribulation period--The great total eclipse takes place the same time as the Revelation 15 sign--- and the Great City is Babylon---or Megalopolis! Have you heard of this term! The whole eastern seaboard from Boston to Washington, D. C. is just one massive GREAT CITY that is called MEGA--- Lopolis! Babylon is that Great City! Yes this Babylon could be falling at the time of the Great Eclipse!! Certainly there remain numerous signposts heralding His nearness. I am also reminded that back in the 60's and 70's numerous angelic visitations occurred which proclaimed that Jesus was coming! And yet here we are. As I've said in the past, I don't know what time it is but it's later than before! Again, yet another reason for my awaiting a direct declaration from Heaven itself! Be of good cheer. His promise to return shall not remain unfulfilled for too much longer. TR NoFearJustFaith, before I disclose his name, there are few sources from bible which gives us the identity of Anti Christ. Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. It was the Roman soldiers who destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD. "The prince who shall come" points to AC coming from Rome. Isaiah 47:5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms. 6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke. Concerning his age, we have Isaiah 23:15 to tell us that he shall be 70 years old on his first appearance in world wide stage. Isaiah 23:15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. God shall forget Tyre for 70 years speaks of his birth to him turning 70 years old. During these period, he seems alright before God. But at the end of 70 years, he shall sing as an harlot. Now, going back to your question, I have been following Cardinal Peter Turkson since 2009. He was born on October 11 1948. He just turned 70 years old last fall. I am not saying 100% he is the Anti Christ. There are few more Cardinals who are either 70 years old or turning 70 years old this year. They are all good contenders for Anti Christ. If you see someone at the age of 70 years old and seizes power in Vatican in near future, watch out, this could be one of the signs God is giving us. Greetings one and all! It's a pleasure to see this forum resurrected again (I joined the original cast in 2007) with some familiar names that brought me so much joy and fellowship throughout the years. I will begin my membership now like I did back then ...with my humbly irrelevant opinion, which is not worth much, and if you paid two-cents for it you will probably demand some change. Everybody has an opinion, but that doesn't mean that they are right. I have been waiting, and watching, and anticipating, and yearning, and guesstimating when the Rapture would be since 1992. I thought that our Blessed Hope might actually, and truly, occur with the following: The whole point of this is that I have been wrong, wrong, wrong with everything that I have thought, contemplated, calculated, cogitated, and extracted from daily information, strategic occurrences, and the alignments of the stars (not astrology). As Tender Reed so profoundly stated, "I don’t know what time it is but it’s later than before!" We long, and we hope, and we pray for the Rapture, but we are not God and we don't know when it will finally happen. What we DO know is that it WILL happen and all signs lead to the postulation that it will happen SOON!! Take solace in the fact that we can't be dissuaded from our belief that just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean that it won't happen tomorrow -- or even tonight! MARANATHA -- PLEASE COME SOON JESUS!!!!! God bless you all -- hang in, hang tight, hang tough, and hang ten if you are surfing. Your pal, Humbly 2nd Coming, Psst ... is it Prince Charles? He had the big 70 birthday last Nov .... Oops ... I just notice you’re looking at someone who was born in Oct ....
Through the prophet Isaiah, God has foretold one day He shall give His people Israel into the hand of this lady of kingdoms. She shall lay a very heavy yoke on Israel, and pollutes God's inheritance which is Jerusalem. This event shall be fulfilled in the second half of tribulation. Concerning this lady of kingdoms, we know that RCC worships mother Mary. They have her image on every Catholic church all over the world. RCC is the lady of kingdoms God has spoken of in these verses. Together with "The prince who shall come", Anti Christ shall come from Vatican.
