The work of the Holy Spirit is not limited to Salvation and Sanctification of the soul only. The Holy Spirit is what keeps the Antichrist from full reign today! The omnipresence of the Holy Spirit is what keeps the mercy of God present in this Church Age! What happens after the Church is taken out? The Rapture allows the seven year Tribulation on Earth to begin. The Tribulation is the ministering of God’s Wrath upon the Earth. God’s mercy departs with the Church in the Rapture. After the Rapture the Antichrist or Man of Sin steps in, under the dominion of Satan!
At present the omnipresence of the Holy Spirit “holds back” the Wrath of God taught in the book of Revelation. At present the omnipresence of the Holy Spirit “holds back” powers of Satan who will set up his kingdom for seven years when the Church is taken out. At present the omnipresence of the Holy Spirit in the Church “holds back” the Man of sin/Antichrist promised to be revealed at the beginning of the seven year Tribulation.
The Holy Spirit is the “hinderer” of God’s Divine Wrath and the Antichrist. The Rapture is the Churches final judgment that “escapes the Wrath of God” during the seven year Tribulation. At present…God’s mercy in the Holy Spirit is the only thing that hinders the Wrath of God from coming upon the Church! The Antichrist cannot come until the Church is taken out first. Satan’s dominion will come after the Rapture. The Antichrist will move in at that time under Satan’s dominion. Satan’s kingdom and the Antichrist are both hindered in this present Church Age until the omnipresence of the Holy Spirit steps aside, at the Rapture of the Church.
Many people understand the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit in the human soul. Fewer understand the hindering work of the Holy Spirit that saves the Church world from the Wrath of God. Why? The Divine Wrath and Judgment of an angry God are subjects seldom taught on today. When the Holy Spirit is viewed as more than a reprover and sanctifier "He" will be seen as a hinderer of God’s Wrath. The Holy Spirit hinders the Wrath of God… withholds the Wrath of God… and steps aside from the Divine Wrath of God at the Rapture of the Church. The hindering work of the Holy Spirit is the only thing keeps the Antichrist from stepping into our present Church Age! Here’s the best verse in the Bible that describes the hindering work of the Holy Spirit that is holding back the reign of the Antichrist in this present Church Age.
· 2 Thess 2:4-8… 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 (the Antichrist). Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth (the Holy Spirit) that he (the Antichrist) might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let (the Holy Spirit), until he be taken out of the way (the Holy Spirit steps aside). And then shall that Wicked be revealed (the Antichrist), whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming ;
This writer knows only few that teach and expound on this doctrine. Hubert Lindsey was one of those. I publish his writings and teachings on this Blog.
Another is William E. Blackstone author of… Jesus is Coming. Here's a quote from Jesus is Coming that coincides with this Blog…This mystery of Lawlessness already worked in the days of the apostle, but there has been a hindering power, which, we believe, is the Holy Spirit, in His present manifestation, or office, viz.: as the reprover of the world and gatherer of the Church. When He, the restraining one, is taken out of the way (or out of the midst), at the rapture of the Church, then shall the mystery be unveiled, and the Lawless one be revealed (2 Thess. 2:7-8).

The Antichrist “revealed” after the Rapture; and “destroyed” by Christ at the end of the seven year Jewish Tribulation
When the hindering work of the omnipresence of the Holy Spirit is recognized, the Rapture of the Church and the Antichrist are both revealed clearly in the Scriptures. When the Antichrist is revealed prophetic truth from the Bible becomes clearer. The mystical Antichrist was predicted by Daniel the Prophet, Saint John the Revelator, and the Apostles Peter and Paul. The Antichrist confirms one week (or seven years) of Daniel’s seventy week prophecy.
Dan 9:27...And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week.
The Antichrist will operate under Satan’s reign until the end of the seven year Tribulation. This Jewish Tribulation is broken into two… 3 ½ year periods.
In the first period of this Jewish Tribulation the Antichrist or the man of Sin will confirm his covenant upon Israel according to Daniel’s prophecy. In the second 3 ½ year period of this Jewish Tribulation the Antichrist will break this covenant with Israel and do what Jesus called the Abomination of Desolation also prophesied by Daniel the Prophet.
Dan 9:27...and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease...
Matt 24:15...When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
This Abomination of Desolation will shame and reproach the holiness of Gods Law given to Israel (much like Epiphanies did during Israel’s Gentile captivity by defiling the temple of God and offering swine to God from the alter in the Temple). This profane act by a Gentile ruler was an abomination to God and an abomination to the holiness of God's Divine Law given to Israel. In the second 3 ½ year period of the Great Tribulation the Antichrist will rise out of the Beast, a Gentile one world government. (Also called a Little Horn in)
Dan 7:8...among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots:
Rev 17:11-14... And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
At the end of the seven year tribulation the whole world will turn against Israel. The world military force gathers together to battle against Israel at Armageddon.
Rev 19:19... And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
At that time Christ purges the Earth through renovation with fire.
2 Peter 3:10-11...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. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved...
2 Thess 1:7-9...when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
At the end of the seven year Tribulation the Antichrist will be “destroyed” through the brightness of Christ’s coming.
2 Thess 2:8...And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
When Christ returns in Divine Judgment with flaming fire he will have his Church with Him. After the Earth is renovated by fire... Christ will set up His Kingdom of Heaven in Jerusalem as the saints will reign with Him for a thousand years. This is the beginning of the Millennial Reign of Christ.
Dan 9:27...And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week.

Who are the saints after, the Rapture of the Church?
After the Rapture: The dead in Christ have risen. Those who are alive (in Christ) are caught up to meet with Christ in the air. The Church is raptured. The Church is delivered from Great Tribulation. The Church has escaped devastation, Judgment, and the wrath of an angry God. Revelation chapter 5 tells the story.
New Testament saints have joined with Christ (the bridegroom) and the Church (the bride of Christ) are taken up into Heaven. The earth is now taken over and Satan takes authority on the Earth. The Anti-Christ - the man of sin - the son of perdition steps in. The Holy Spirit, the body of Christ the church, and all of its members have gone up. This sanctification through the Spirit is a cutting away or a severing of the Church from an unbelieving world. No longer does the Holy Spirit's presence hinder or with hold the Anti-Christ from stepping in.
Satan's Kingdom begins. God's Judgment and Wrath begins. The seals are opened. The vials are opened. The woes are loosed. Strong delusion within humanity begins. The actual witness of the bride meeting the bridegroom in Heaven has happened. The Jews (an object of God's plan) rejected their Messiah in the Old Testament. The Jews rejected the Promised Kingdom and their King during the earthly ministry of Christ. Now the Jews have rejected the Raptured Church, the body of Christ visibly. The Church has been taken up. The Church has been sanctified. God's witness to the Jew (as prophesied) becomes Great Tribulation and Judgment upon Earth like in the days of Noah.
Death, Hell, and fire break loose on the earth for seven years. These events and these occurrences actually happen. This is only a prophetic glimpse of what takes place after the Rapture of the Church. The saints of God are with Christ in Heaven. In marriage, the Bride and Bridegroom have united in the Throneroom.
Over the years many have asked the question about Salvation "after the Rapture of the Church". One must understand the first four chapters of Revelation deals with Rapture. Revelation chapter five speaks about the Raptured saints in Heaven. Then John goes on to mention how God's Judgment and wrath are ministered upon the earth after the Church is Raptured. Then Revelation chapter six and seven gives a different picture of the saints of God. These saints are classified as Tribulation Saints. Tribulation Saints are saints of God who have kept faith in Christ to the point of death.
Here is a picture of Tribulation Saints from John's Revelation.
Rev 7:13-17...And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
These saints are saints of God who turn to Christ during the Great Tribulation...after the Rapture of the Church has already taken place. The Tribulation is primarily recognized as a Jewish Tribulation.

These saints are saints of God who turn to Christ during the Great Tribulation...after the Rapture of the Church has already taken place. The Tribulation is primarily recognized as a Jewish Tribulation.

The Black horse - the balances - and commerce during the Great Tribulation
The setting of the Black Horse? Christ opening the seals. The Raptured Church has escaped the Great Tribulation. What are the seals? God's Judgment upon the earth. What is the Rapture? God's final Judgment for the Church to escape the promised wrath of an angry God. The Holy Spirit stepped out and the Anti-Christ - the man of sin stepped in. The seals according to the Revelation of Christ are the ministering of God's wrath upon the Earth and upon humanity. The Black horse; him who sat there-upon, and the balances in his hand... represent a corrupt and tainted world commerce that continuously gets worse and worse through the Great Tribulation.
Revelation 6:5,6...And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see . And I beheld , and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say , A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
A one world government has formed under Satan's Dominion and the Anti-Christ. A regimented Gentile ruled kingdom has come together as the Beast spoken of in John's Revelation. This one world government rules the military inertia around the globe. This one world government is a huge and magnified comparison to the Roman Empire during the days of Christ. This Beast will rule the political world, the financial world, the economical world, the business world, the religious world, etc. Global economy, commerce, and the business world will all be taken over and darkened under a one world dictator that hates God's elect, the Jew. Everything such as food, wealth, income, buying, selling, commerce, etc. will be will be under the dominion of the Beast Kingdom which is ruled by Satan and the Anti-Christ. Buying will be dictated by evil. Selling will be dictated by evil. If man does not receive the "mark of the beast" he will not eat. Those who accept Christ will be beheaded.
Revelation 20: 4...and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image , neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ
Revelation 13:17... And that no man might buy or sell , save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
A false Gospel of the Kingdom on Earth will have been preached and established during this seven year Jewish Tribulation. This false Gospel will have informed people that the Kingdom had already come ...which in reality is a false proclamation that will mislead multitudes into rejecting the promised King and Kingdom of Christ. The Rapture of the Church has already taken place. Great Tribulation has started and continues to escalate immensely. The world at this time is without mercy, without compassion, without hope, and without God....under the dominion of the man of sin...the Anti-Christ
Matthew 24:14...And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come .
As wars, famine, and military inertia escalate around a globe of godless people.... tribulation like no tribulation in the history of humanity will occur. Bloodshed will pour into the streets and rivers. Water will become polluted from nuclear fallout. Limited food and limited money will cause revolt within society. The Beast Kingdom which is the whole Gentile world will turn against Israel (God's elect) during these years and all will gather together in force under Satan's dominion. This will initiate the battle of Armageddon. At this gathering at Armageddon Christ and all His saints (which are the Raptured Saints of God) will step foot on the Earth at the Mount of Olives. At this time Divine Judgment will take place as Christ takes vengeance upon those who rejected Him and His elect Israel during the Great Tribulation. Zechariah 14.
2 Thess. 1: 7-10...when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe
Revelation 6:5,6...And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see . And I beheld , and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say , A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

2 Timothy 4:1...I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
The end will be Judgment on Earth - in flaming fire. God will melt the elements with fervent heart. God will physically sanctify the Earth with fire as Christ takes vengeance upon those who rejected Him. The godless world will be judged and cast into everlasting punishment. Satan will thus be bound. The rest of humanity that believes in Christ will be sanctified and have hearts prepared to live with Christ for 1000 years. A resurrection will also occur here.
Revelation 20:4-6... And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image , neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished . This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

They shall look upon me whom they have pierced…
Zechariah prophetically wrote these words…Zechariah 12:10. God prohetically spoke through His prophets who were inspired by the Holy Ghost. “They” speaks of the nation of Israel as a whole. Isreal is not to be spiritualized or taken out of Biblical context when examining this scripture.
Israel is the nation who rejected the Messiah when He came the first time. Israel is the nation who rejects the Gospel Message of this present Church Age (since Christ’s death until now). Israel is the nation who will miss the Rapture of the Church. Israel is the nation who will be opposed by the Gentile World (the Beast) during the seven year Tribulation. Israel is the nation who will face the battle Armegeddon. Israel is the nation who will look upon the Messiah (whom they pierced) when He returns the second time.
At the second coming of Israel’s promised Messiah, Jesus will step down physically upon the Mount of Olives. All nations of the Earth will be gathered together in unison…against Israel at that time…as the battle of Armageddon will be on the brink of occurring. Zechariah’s prophecy speaks of the end of the Great Tribulation when all nations of the Earth turn against Israel and gather together to destroy God’s elect, Israel. On that very day Christ “steps down” from Heaven and all the Raptured saints will be with Him. A physical appearing will take place. At that time Divine Judgment will take place upon humanity on earth and upon the nation of Israel as a whole. Two thirds of the nation of Israel will be cut off and die. The other third will come through the fire by saying, “The Lord is my God”. Zechariah 13:1-9
Israel will look upon Christ whom they pierced. Through realization and acceptance of Christ, Israel will driven to great mourning in that great and terrible day. Christ will return in flaming fire and take vengeance upon those who obey not the Gospel. (2 Thess. 1:7-10) Christ will sanctify humanity and the earth with fire. Christ will establish His earthly Throne in Jerusalem (like David’s Throne in Zion). Faithful Israel will admire the glory of their promised Messiah in who their forefathers turned over to Rome to be crucified and put to death. In great mourning and sorrow at the beginning of Christ’s Kingdom on Earth…Israel as a whole nation will look upon Christ in whom they pierced.
On that very day every Jew on planet Earth who “accepts” Christ as the Messiah will enter the Kingdom on Earth (a visible and tangible Kingdom). The 1000 year reign of our Lord will begin on that day in Jerusalem. Christ will be admired by every Jew on planet Earth. They will look upon Him as their God. They will look upon Him as their Messiah. They will look upon Him whom they pierced…
Zechariah 12:10…And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son
Israel’s eyes on Christ is the context of the prophecy. The future hope of Israel lies within this Messianic prophecy made by Zechariah. In this manner of study the Bible is rightly divided and the student learns the word promised to Israel in its proper context. Knowledge will build your faith. Please study Zechariah chapters 12, 13, and 14 for the full context of this text. To Christ be the glory!

Satan's Kingdom falls...Hubert T. Lindsey
This excellent end time study by Brother Hubert Lindsey comes from the Book of Revelation and pertains to the rise and fall of Satan's Dominion on earth after the Rapture of the Church. This prophetic audio touches on the Anti-Christ, the false Prophet, the Beast Kingdom, the battle of Armageddon, and all adverse conditions that are destroyed by Christ under the reign of Satan during the seven year Tribulation.

More about what the Bible says about the, "Anti-Christ"
Tribulations that we encounter in the Church now; and the Anti-Christ's in the world now... are not and do not have the magnitude of the "Great Tribulation" taught in the Holy Scriptures. The "Man of sin" or "son of perdition" promised to come upon Israel after the Rapture of the Church the Bible speaks of... is the Anti-Christ. The Rapture of the Church is God's Testimony to the Jew about the Great Tribulation promised to come in Old Testament prophesies. The Rapture of the Church is Christ's deliverance of the body of Christ from this Great Tribulation... from the wrath of God... from the establishment Satan's Kingdom... and from him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders...the Anti Christ. This man of sin was prophesied by the prophet Daniel ...and also called the "Little Horn" in Daniel 7:8.
The Prophet Daniel described the "Little Horn" as the one who would speak great words against the most High (Daniel 7:8, 7:25). According to John's Revelation the Anti-Christ (the Little Horn) is birthed out of the Beast which is a Gentile Kingdom likened unto the Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Grecian, and Roman Empires. The Forth beast mentioned in Daniel had ten horns (ten Kings)...and another horn the, “Little Horn” that rose out of that Beast (Daniel 7:1-8). John's Revelation describes this Beast as a One World Gentile Government ruled and controlled by Satan who reigns in direct opposition to Israel during the Great Tribulation. Remember, the Church is gone! God's mercy is gone! The Holy Spirit within the body of Christ is gone! Satan (the deceiver) has his rule on Earth for a short season. During Satan's reign after the Church is taken out... the Anti Christ will turn the Gentile World against the Jew unlike anything man has ever known...
Rev 12:13..And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
Luke 21:24...and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
This Gentile fulfillment will take place when all nations gather together to battle against Israel at Armageddon.
Old Testament prophecy that confirms such truth points to the Prophet Daniel. Daniel had a vision and prophecy of the 70 weeks (posted last week). All 70 weeks were directly determined by God upon Israel "thy people" and not the Church. The Church was never prophesied. Note "thy people" and "thy holy city" Jerusalem, the command to restore the wall, etc. all had prophetic relation to Israel only. This included the (One Week) or seven years that ended Daniels 70 week Prophecy. The 70 week prophecy referred to Judgment and restoration for Israel.
New Testament records point to John's Revelation. John's Revelation confirms many of Daniels prophecies. John's Revelation confirms that the Beast Kingdom is birthed when Christ opens the seals in (Rev 6:1). This work of Christ takes place during the Tribulation after the Rapture where John is taken up hither in (Rev: 4). The seals are the ministering of Christ's wrath and Judgment promised to come upon the nation of Israel in many Old Testament Prophecies of the Gospel. Within the seven year Jewish Tribulation the Anti-Christ (The Little Horn) will come out of the Beast according to Daniel and Johns Revelation.
Rev 13:5...And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Confirmed in Daniel 7:8, 7:25. This takes place in the first 42 months of the Tribulation (a Jewish Tribulation) as God gathers His elect from the earth (after the Rapture). During the "Great Tribulation" - the second 42 month period (Rev. 11-19) a remnant (the Jew that halted will accept Christ as Messiah).
Mic 4:6...In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted
Ultimately God's purpose for Tribulation and Wrath after the Rapture of the Church is to gather and sway His chosen people (Israel) to the Messiahship of Christ ...to renovate and restore the Earth, and to pour out His Spirit as promised in...
Ezekiel 37:13-14...And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
The Anti-Christ was spoken of by the Apostle Paul as the man of sin, and the son of perdition...
2 Thess. 2:9...Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
The Anti-Christ deceives those who perish. Who are those who perish? Those who perish are those who disobeyed the Gospel, rejected Christ, an did not make the Rapture of the Church. They did not make the Rapture because they received not the love of the truth. They rejected Christ. Peter describes this crowd as scoffers who were "willingly" ignorant and...
2 Peter 3:9...those who were slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward,( the Church) not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Who is Peter making reference to? The Church. Peter recognized God's mercy and the refuge found in the Church, the body of Christ, was the only thing that would save man from perishing...after the Church is caught up to meet with Christ in the air.
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.
Before the "day of the Lord in Divine Judgment" there is a seven year Jewish Tribulation where the Anti-Christ has reigned for seven years under the dominion of Satan. On the Day of the Lord Christ will destroy the Anti-Christ with the brightness of His coming.
2 Thess 2:8...And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
At that time a renovation and restoration takes place, first in Jerusalem where Christ will be physically seated on His Throne in the Kingdom of Heaven. Peter, John, and Paul were knowledgeable men concerning God's Promised Kingdom for Israel. They were enlightened to Old Testament records that included Daniel' s dream, his vision and his prophecy of Tribulation and the Little Horn that rises from the Beast.
Rev 13:1...And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns
The ten horns also referred to the 10 toes of Nebuchadnezzar in the book of Daniel 2:31-42. These pointed to 10 democratic leaders under the Beast Kingdom likened to the Imperial Power of Rome in John's Day. According to both Daniel and John - the Beast has seven heads and 10 horns.
Rev 17:7...And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns...
The seven heads are seven Kings...five fallen Roman leaders that history will confirm. The 6th was Domitian a Roman King who exiled John to the Isle of Patmos - where the Book of Revelation was written. The 7th had not come yet...which is the Beast Kingdom in the books of Daniel and Revelation. The 8th is the Son of Perdition (the Anti-Christ) and is actually the 7th according to Revelation.
Rev 17:10-11...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. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. The Anti-Christ (He) that is birthed out of the Beast that also goeth into perdition.
John the Revelator, Peter's Epistles and Paul's Epistles all confirm the Rapture of the Church, the Jewish tribulation, and the Wrath that Christ ministers, after the Church is taken out. The Anti-Christ, He, the Little Horn, The Man of Sin, the son of perdition, is confirmed through many various men of God who were moved by the Holy Ghost. The Anti-Christ was also referred to and spoken of by Jesus in Mark's narrative. Jesus was ministering to Israel.
Mark 13:13-14... And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:...For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
This is because of the Wrath of God is ministered during the Great Tribulation. The Abomination of Desolation takes place within that 7 year time frame. It is an outlawing of Temple Worship directly related to Israel under the aggression of a Gentile One World Government governed by the Anti-Christ. It is a product of the Beast Kingdom (a Gentile, pagan, and heathen) influence over the nation of Israel under the reign of Satan and the Anti-Christ during the entire period of seven years of Tribulation upon Israel. God allows this to happen because the "hinderer' of God's Wrath steps aside. The Anti-Christ, the Little Horn or "He", confirms this covenant with Israel at the first half of the 7 year Tribulation but "He" breaks this covenant in the second half of the Great Tribulation after Gentile aggression outlaws Jewish Temple worship in Jerusalem.
First 3 ½ year period…Rev 11:2…But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
Second 3 ½ year period... Rev 11: 3…And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Rev 13:4-5…And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Gentile aggression against Israel occurs during the Great Tribulation...Influenced by the Anti-Christ under Satan's dominion.
There is a reference that may confuse some individuals. It’s found in Matthew 24:14 and states the Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world. Matt 24:14…And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Jesus is referring to a false proclamation made by the Jewish people during the Tribulation... toward the Gentile world. That context is proven in the next few verses. Verse 15 describes the abomination of desolation*. Matt 24:15...When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
*The Abomination of Desolation was a Gentile aggression against Israel during the great Tribulation which is a type similar to the Babylonian aggression during the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes a Syrian king spoken of in Daniel 9:27. Epiphanes’ hatred toward the Jew outlawed the Sabbath, the Torah, circumcision, temple worship, etc. He also erected a statue in the likeness of himself and sacrificed a pig on the alter.
The Jew will be hated on earth instead of reigning on earth. This false proclamation also applies to the Jew returning to Israel before the Great Tribulation and proclaiming the land of Canaan is theirs. Israel's false proclamation during the Great Tribulation is that that the Kingdom is restored. This false proclamation only brings the armies of the world against Israel, ushering in the battle of Armageddon…during which Christ will come and restore the Kingdom prepared from the foundation of the World.
Rev 19:19-20...And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone
The Prophet Daniel described the "Little Horn" as the one who would speak great words against the most High (Daniel 7:8, 7:25). According to John's Revelation the Anti-Christ (the Little Horn) is birthed out of the Beast which is a Gentile Kingdom likened unto the Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Grecian, and Roman Empires. The Forth beast mentioned in Daniel had ten horns (ten Kings)...and another horn the, “Little Horn” that rose out of that Beast (Daniel 7:1-8). John's Revelation describes this Beast as a One World Gentile Government ruled and controlled by Satan who reigns in direct opposition to Israel during the Great Tribulation. Remember, the Church is gone! God's mercy is gone! The Holy Spirit within the body of Christ is gone! Satan (the deceiver) has his rule on Earth for a short season. During Satan's reign after the Church is taken out... the Anti Christ will turn the Gentile World against the Jew unlike anything man has ever known...

Biblical facts on the Anti-Christ, resurrection of the body, and the Judgment Seat of Christ (pt.1)
Daniels 70 Week prophecy reveals and establishes a picture of the seven year Tribulation period taught in the book of Revelation. The first 483 years of the prophecy dealt with Daniels prediction of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem (as Israel’s King and Prince) where He prophetically rode upon an ass’s colt. (Zechariah 9:9) Within that 483 year time frame…there were threescore two weeks (434 years) that transpired from the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, including the wall in Nehemiah to the cutting off of the Messiah, (46 years) to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem, (3 years) of Christ’s earthly ministry until He was crucified. There is a total of 483 Years or (69 weeks) accounted for; 7 years or (1 week) unaccounted for.
· Dan 9:24-27... Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 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 desolation's are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate
· The seventy weeks that were determined were literally defined in the Hebrew text as "seventy seven's". Has reference to years...490 years to be exact. 483 years are accounted for in Daniel’s Seventy Week prophecy.
shabuwa` (shaw-boo'-ah); or shabua` (shaw-boo'-ah); also (feminine) shebu` ah (sheb-oo-aw'); properly, passive participle of OT:7650 as a denominative of OT:7651; literal, sevened, i.e. a week (specifically, of years):KJV - seven, week.
The Anti-Christ predicted in the following verse is a miniature picture of the last week or (7 years) of Daniels 70 week prophecy.
· Dan 9:27…And he* shall confirm the covenant with many for one week**: and in the midst of the week*** he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate
As Daniel predicted that the covenant would be confirmed (renewed) for 1 week (or seven year period) this deals with the Great Tribulation and the reign of the Anti-Christ. The book of Revelation confirms the Tribulation period will be broken into two 3 ½ year periods.
The Anti-Christ will rise out of the Beast which the Bible states, the dragon gives all power to. The Beast (A Gentile Kingdom and one world Government that hates Israel) relates to past Jewish captivities spoken of in the book of Revelation. These are the Babylonian captivity (Leopard), Medo-Persian captivity (Bear), Grecian captivity (Lion), and the Roman captivity (the forth beast) prophesied by John in Revelation chapter 13.
· Rev 13:1…And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
When the Apostle John wrote the book of Revelation…there had been five previous Roman dictators. History will verify such. Domitian was the present Roman King that exiled John to the Isle of Patmos. The seventh king will be the Beast Kingdom (or Gentile One World Government) of which the Anti-Christ the eighth king will form out of (foreseen by Daniel). Note how the seventh and eighth kings are one in the same according to John’s Revelation. The following verse shows the dominion of Satan’s Kingdom and those under his dominion and the Gentile aggression against Israel as the Anti-Christ leads humanity into perdition.
· Rev 17:10-11…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. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition… (Antichrist)
Daniel and Johns future predictions both point to the fact that the mercy of God is taken out of the world after the Rapture of the Church. John calls this the, hereafter (Revelation 4:1). Hereafter being simply, “After the Rapture takes place”. The Rapture being the Churches final Judgment shows how Christ will remove the members of His body from sudden destruction and the terror of the Anti-Christ (1 Thess. 5:3). (The Bible indicates the man of sin, the son of perdition, and the Anti-Christ are one in the same.) According to the Apostle Paul the man of sin will come after the working of Satan who will thus have “all power” during that period of time.
· 2 Thess 2:9-10…Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish
· Dan 9:24-27... Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 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 desolation's are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate
· The seventy weeks that were determined were literally defined in the Hebrew text as "seventy seven's". Has reference to years...490 years to be exact. 483 years are accounted for in Daniel’s Seventy Week prophecy.
shabuwa` (shaw-boo'-ah); or shabua` (shaw-boo'-ah); also (feminine) shebu` ah (sheb-oo-aw'); properly, passive participle of OT:7650 as a denominative of OT:7651; literal, sevened, i.e. a week (specifically, of years):KJV - seven, week.
The Anti-Christ predicted in the following verse is a miniature picture of the last week or (7 years) of Daniels 70 week prophecy.
· Dan 9:27…And he* shall confirm the covenant with many for one week**: and in the midst of the week*** he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate
*He is the Anti-Christ that will rise out of the Beast Kingdom (One World Government that opposes Israel) during the Great Tribulation which follows the Rapture of the Church. The Beast Kingdom and Anti-Christ will set the stage for the Battle of Armageddon.
**One week spoken of here relates to seven years which is the length of the Great Tribulation. 69 weeks or 483 years are accounted for in Daniel’s Seventy Week prophecy. "Seventy weeks" prophesied by Daniel. Note the following...7 weeks (49 years) + 62 weeks (434 years) +1 week (7 years) = 70 weeks (490 years) When the Holy Spirit steps aside and Christ removes the Church in the Rapture, the Anti Christ spoken of in Revelation will confirm that Covenant.
***The Abomination of desolation will take place as spoken by Christ in Matthew 24. The Abomination of Desolation was a Gentile aggression against Israel during the great Tribulation and is a type similar to the Babylonian aggression during the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes a Syrian king spoken of in Daniel 9:27. A Gentile hatred toward the Jew outlawed the Sabbath, the Torah, circumcision, temple worship, etc. Epiphanes also erected a statue in the likeness of himself and sacrificed a pig on the alter in the Temple. This was an abomination to Levitical Priesthood.
As Daniel predicted that the covenant would be confirmed (renewed) for 1 week (or seven year period) this deals with the Great Tribulation and the reign of the Anti-Christ. The book of Revelation confirms the Tribulation period will be broken into two 3 ½ year periods.
· First 3 ½ year period…Rev 11:2…But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
· Second 3 ½ year period... Rev 11: 3…And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Rev 13:4-5…And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
The Anti-Christ will rise out of the Beast which the Bible states, the dragon gives all power to. The Beast (A Gentile Kingdom and one world Government that hates Israel) relates to past Jewish captivities spoken of in the book of Revelation. These are the Babylonian captivity (Leopard), Medo-Persian captivity (Bear), Grecian captivity (Lion), and the Roman captivity (the forth beast) prophesied by John in Revelation chapter 13.
· Rev 13:1…And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
When the Apostle John wrote the book of Revelation…there had been five previous Roman dictators. History will verify such. Domitian was the present Roman King that exiled John to the Isle of Patmos. The seventh king will be the Beast Kingdom (or Gentile One World Government) of which the Anti-Christ the eighth king will form out of (foreseen by Daniel). Note how the seventh and eighth kings are one in the same according to John’s Revelation. The following verse shows the dominion of Satan’s Kingdom and those under his dominion and the Gentile aggression against Israel as the Anti-Christ leads humanity into perdition.
· Rev 17:10-11…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. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition… (Antichrist)
Daniel and Johns future predictions both point to the fact that the mercy of God is taken out of the world after the Rapture of the Church. John calls this the, hereafter (Revelation 4:1). Hereafter being simply, “After the Rapture takes place”. The Rapture being the Churches final Judgment shows how Christ will remove the members of His body from sudden destruction and the terror of the Anti-Christ (1 Thess. 5:3). (The Bible indicates the man of sin, the son of perdition, and the Anti-Christ are one in the same.) According to the Apostle Paul the man of sin will come after the working of Satan who will thus have “all power” during that period of time.
· 2 Thess 2:9-10…Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish
