Agreed. No joy in watching people, even evil, unrepentant, Christ-hating people, endure the wrath of God in Daniel's 70th week. I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, sayeth the Lord. Neither should we. That said, there are surely certain aspects from a purely eschatological perspective that I would love to know how they end up actually playing out. Again, once in His presence, it may be absolutely irrelevant to us in the light of His glory. As for riding in on white horses, that is going to be awesome!!! I have an ongoing ministry of sorts where the Lord gives me lyrics to older secular melodies and has me sing them over those who drive by (some intercessory and some worship) while I witness with my rapture sign out on a busy street corner in my community. The latest one is that old song by Michael Martin Murphy, Wild Fire (70s I believe). The original song was about a horse...it literally just starting playing on my Youtube browswer as I am typing this. How's that for Holy Spirit timing? Chills. Here are the rewritten lyrics. Instead of Wild Fire, the song is now called White Horse. A born again song with a new name! You came down from heaven’s throne room Oh they say You rose the third day You’ll be on a white horse So I’m waiting on Your promise We’ll be on a white horse On a white horse, we’re gonna ride Here's the video. You can sing over the original lyrics with the new ones to get the feel of the melody. Maranatha!!! According to Isaiah 47:5-6, AC shall come from the lady of kingdoms. We just need to figure out the identity of lady of kingdoms. 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. "upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke." "the ancient" is Israel. They have been around for 4000 years. This lady of kingdoms shall lay a very heavy yoke on God's people and pollute God's inheritance Israel during the second half of tribulation. 2/3 shall die, while 1/3 led captive to all over the world. And concerning his age, he shall be 71 years old with his first appearance. 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. AC has many names, Tyre is one of them. God shall forget Tyre for 70 years. It speaks of Tyre's age. When he turns 71 years old, Tyre shall sing as a harlot. This is the time God shall remember him. Back in 2009, I heard the argument that Anti Christ is a black person, based on Song of Solomon 1. Song of Solomon 1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. 6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. "I am black" "they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not Kept" This is in parallel to Zechariah 11:16 and Isaiah 23:4. Zechariah 11:16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. Isaiah 23:4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins. Isaiah 23 is the oracle against Tyre. AC shall chose Tyre as his commerce center after he revives the Roman Empire, while Babylon is his religious hub. The sea is his strength because his power comes from the countries round about the coastline of Mediterranean sea ( See Roman Empire map). And God simply nick names AC as the sea in verse 4. "The sea" is in trouble in Isaiah 23 because noises from east (China) and north (Russia) shall trouble him, and he shall go forth to make away many (Daniel 11:44). This is world war three and shall take place in the second half of tribulation, after mid-trib invasion on Israel by him. Let's group all the verses together. "I am black" "they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept." "For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces." "saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins." As we can see, all these verses are pointing to the same person AC. And according to Song of Solomon 1:5, he should be a black person. Song of Solomon 1:5-7 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. That appears to be a reference to Solomon's love, and the blackness is due to her being dark from working in the sun. It isn't a comment on the skin color of the Antichrist. I agree David. Will the AC be a resurrected Judas??? We expect the two end time prophets to be resurrected saints of the past, why not the same axiom for the AC? TR Could very well be T.R. Judas had the title “son of Perdition” ... and the AC will share that same title. Also I find this passage interesting ... in Revelation 17:10-11 “he was, he is not, he is to come ...” doesn’t that mean he lived, he died and he will be coming back? Just like the Giants (Nephilims) are underground ... according to LA Marzulli and a few other watchers ... they feel they are going to rise up out of the earth holes/caves during the tribulation period and create havoc. Rev 17 10 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. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. Given that we will be long gone when His identity is revealed this does seem to be an hypothetical exercise of speculation. A fun conjecture for sure! TR Yep, even though we see the Church Age coming to a close ... the AC’s identity will remain a mystery until we are out of here. Soon we will know and I wonder if we will all say “aha I knew it” or will we all be blindsided with shock that its totally someone we never suspected in a million years? :unsure: Yet another great discussion TR. I will have to be honest here, I have truly never studied out about the AC. I won’t be here, so it seemed a mute point to me. In reading through this line, I do know for a fact that in all points satan is the great deceiver and mimics or tries to mirror everything God does. That said, the false prophet (my unresearched opinion), will probably be Jewish and from the line of David (mirror) or as the one to declare the AC as God, similar to John the Baptist (prepared the way, so Levitical line), therefore accepted by the Jewish nation as a key spokes person. The apostle Paul was a Roman born citizen and a Jew of Jews, so I have often thought the AC will hold both the Jewish blood line and be a key player as the representative of the city great harlot, Babylon (Rome - Vatican - Catholic), he is certainly accepted to be the ruler of the kingdoms. Tammie ask “What is your desired job during the millennium?” I have just a few on my bucket list ... hopefully I can rotate and do it all :yes: For starters here is my wish ... I love to garden both flowers and veggies. Pick the ripe fruits and certain veggies - especially olives, grapes, blueberries and raspberries. Work in a spa. Also a bakery making desserts and confectionery shop making candy and an ice cream shop. Work in an Italian restaurant and make pizza. Working at a concession stand at an amusement park, water park or at a baseball or soccer stadium and only hand out my favorite snacks and drinks. Teaching the little kids the Bible as well as taking them to the movies to see the Bible stories come alive. Taking them to the amusement parks. Teaching them sewing crafts, artwork and sports - biking, roller skating, hang gliding, etc. Taking care of Toy Fox Terrier and Dalmatian puppies. Exploring other planets/galaxies Learn how to play the piano and flute Read up on the lineage and testimonies in the heavenly library. And I hope to learn how to bowl properly with a bowling ball that is not too heavy and my thumb won’t get ... ahem ... stuck in. 🙁 
Set Your glory to the side
On a wooden cross with my name
For the world’s sin chose to die
Bought for us eternal life
Empty tomb it testifies
While the doubters say you won’t return
Lord I know it’s just a lie
Our redemption draweth nigh
On a white horse
On a white horse
List’ning for the trump to blow
Seven years now hidden up at Abba's house
While Your wrath’s poured out below
Your coming to earth I know
And on a white horse, we’re both gonna go
On a white horse
On a white horse
You’re gonna lead, I’ll follow behind
For Your Kingdom, Lord we’re on Your side
On a white horse 
6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Truly, I have no opinion on the AC or false prophet, I will not be here and those that are will believe the lies for a season (3.5 yrs), he may be on screen as a rising star now, many certainly had their eye on Macron, but lately the articles have begun stating that the deep state is looking else where for their leader (who they believe they will control), but when this person is indwelled by satan, he will have the last laugh on the deep state, poor, blind leaders of the blind. I do not plan to watch the terrible unfolding of Gods wrath poured out on the nations, I plan on enjoying my Bridegroom, the Glories of Heaven, Singing in worship to the Heavenly Father, visiting all the universe (except earth) to see the beauty of almighty Gods creation, maybe prepping for my role during the millennium- I am so conflicted on what to do, healer, teacher, farmer, continue my exploration of everything God. What is your desired Job during the millennium? FYI- there is not any scripture to back this thought, it’s just a curious and hopeful thought on how I will continue my worship and life serving my Lord and King.... :feedback
