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
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.
