Over the last 70 years, figuring out who the final antichrist will be has become a cottage industry in Christian apologetics. Many books have been written citing Bible passages taken out of context, to suggest the Antichrist is Islamic. However there is little evidence that the Antichrist is Islamic, if any.

One of the passages taken out of context is Revelation 20:4.

Revelation 20:4 ⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands.

Because these followers of Christ, during the tribulation period are beheaded, end times prognosticators have assumed the Antichrist, or son of perdition, to be Islamic, based on penchant for beheading people for their faith.

The problem with this thinking is that if beheading is a characteristic of identification, we’d have to consider a Japanese, French, Mongolian and Chinese Antichrist. We’d have to consider a Jewish Antichrist as well, which is much closer to the truth.

Before diving into the body of this article, let us ask the question “Should Christians be aware of who the Antichrist is?”

The answer is “Yes”, for Christians who are alive at the time of Christ’s appearing.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 ¹Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, ² not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. ³ Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, ⁴ who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

The phrase in verse one “concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him”, is referencing what Paul wrote in I Thessalonians 4:13-18 to 5:1-9, which references the rapture and its general time period, prior to God’s wrath being poured out, a short period after the midpoint of the tribulation period of seven years.

The Holy Spirit reveals that before the gathering of the saints unto Christ, in the rapture, there are two prophetic markers that must be met, written in the above passage verses 3-4.

1. The rapture (that Day) will not occur until the great falling away or the great apostacy has begun
2. and the man of sin is revealed.

The falling away is in reference to Chritians who walk away from Christ by their religion being absorbed into the one world religion, being set up by the Roman Catholic Church and religious Jews affiliated with the Temple institute in Jerusalem, in conjunction with the Noahide Conference. More on that later.

The man of sin being revealed is directly related to Antichrist performing the abomination of desolation, in a third temple in Jerusalem.

Yes, Christians alive at this time will know who the Antichrist is, as much as we ought to be able to recognize the spirit of antichrist, which is always around and seeking to destroy the faith once delivered to the saints, by apostacy.

1 John 4:1-3 ¹Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. ² By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, ³ and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

In the body of this article, I will argue that the Antichrist is at least half Jewish, for a practical  and some solid biblical reasons.

A practical reason is that Antichrist is seen as “one in the place of Christ”, this is where the word “vicar” of Christ comes from. The Roman Pontiff, is taught to be the “vicar” of Christ, or in Christ’s place. This is problematic, for there is no man, who stand in the place of Christ. Infact, it is the Church, the Body of Christ, living out the faith once delivered to the saints, who is His visible representation, until He comes.

When thinking in context of the Christ, which is a Hebraism for “Messiah” or “Anointed One” (Psalm 2:1-2; Isaiah 11:1-2, Isaiah 61:1-3), we understand that Antichrist will present Himself as the Jewish Messiah, and the Savior of the world. The Jewish people will never accept an Islamic or Gentile Messiah. As a matter of fact, they are waiting on one to come who is ther son of David.

Now for some more Biblical and current historical considerations.

On November 6^th in Jerusalem, the world will witness the First Noahide conference, with a stated purpose of establishing the World Noahide Movement by shifting it from a loosely connected online community into a structured, unified global organization.

“The Noahide Movement is primarily convened by Brit Olam – The Noahide World Center (under Rabbi Oury Cherki), it shares a deep ideological connection and historical partnership with The Temple Institute. Both organizations operate under a shared religious Zionist vision that views the spiritual awakening of Noahides (non-Jews who voluntarily commit to the Seven Laws of Noah) as essential to fulfilling biblical prophecy and preparing the world for a future messianic era centered around a rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem.

What is a Noahide?

Noahides are anyone who is not Jewish, that obeys the alleged seven laws of Noah, which are actually seven laws lifted from various passages of the Old Testament. After the flood, the LORD gave Noah three laws [1] Be fruitful and multiple and [2] Do not eat animals with the blood still in it [3] Do not murder. The rest come from other parts ef the Old Testament, and were complield from the Talumud, or rabinnic tradtion under Maimonides. Brit-Olem and the Temple Institue and Jewish relgion beleive if these laws are followed by Gentiles, they can enter the etenral Kingdom. Of course this is totaly false.

THE SEVEN NOAHIDE LAWS

Below is list of the seven laws.

• Avoid idolatry and acknowledge a single Creator (Hashem “The Name” which is Yiddish and does not represent YHWH, or THE NAME about all Name The Lord Jesus the Messiah).
• Do not curse God: Do not commit blasphemy or verbally curse the Creator, which means use “Hashem” or else.
• Do not murder: Do not take a human life, as human life has infinite value.
• Do not commit sexual immorality: Prohibits incest, adultery, and other illicit sexual relations.
• Do not steal: Do not commit robbery or theft of any kind.
• Do not eat a limb from a live animal: Do not cause unnecessary cruelty to animals or consume flesh torn from a living creature.
• Establish courts of justice: Set up legal systems and courts to enforce these laws and maintain a fair, orderly society. [1, 2]

Maimonides as well as current day Noahides proclaming the Seven Laws of Noah (or Noahide Laws) are a set of universal moral (supposedly) for the “descendants of Noah”. According to the Talmud, they serve as the foundational minimum for a just and righteous society.

According to the Talmudic tradition of the Rabbi Maimonides (1135-1204) these laws are to govern not the Jews but the Gentiles under Jewish rule.

“Maimonides states that a non-Jew under Jewish authority who does not accept the seven Noahide laws is to be executed, as God compelled the world to follow these laws.”^[89][90]

From <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Laws_of_Noah>

It must be clearly stated that the partnership with the Temple Institute makes Maimonides vision, in light of the prophesied one world religion (the fountain of the great falling away), very close to being possible. In fact the structuire to set up Noahide Courts of Justice, exist in several nation, including the U.S.

It is the Noahide Conference and Temple Institute’s desire and goal to bring in the one world religion under these laws, and to enforce them through execution.

“for Noahides convicted of a capital crime, the only sanctioned method of execution is decapitation,^[84] considered one of the lightest capital punishments.”^[85]

From <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Laws_of_Noah>

“Maimonides states that a non-Jew under Jewish authority who does not accept the seven Noahide laws is to be executed, as God compelled the world to follow these laws.”^[89][90]

From <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Laws_of_Noah>

All of this may seem far-fetched, but I assure you, there is precedent and world cultural and government support for these Noahide laws bringing all religions together.

Remember that every notable religion, either monotheistic or polytheistic, have an account of Noah’s flood, and the aftermath. This commonality has been used by the Roman Catholic church to bring leaders from various religions together at the Vatican to “pray” together, as far back as 1986.

In these meetings, Jews, Cathoics, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Animists and others pray together, in a COEXIST fashion.

And who can forget the prayer that took place at ground zero at World Trade Center 1, April 20^th, 2008, in New York.

The Roman Catholic Catechism alread states that Jews and Muslims are granted access to the eternal kingdom of God, as ethnic children of Abraham, if they follow their faith. This has moved to extend to pretty much everyone who is a “good” person, following their religion, so long as the Pope gets to sit at the head of the table.

This is a form of keeping the law to save oneself, which is what the leaders of the Noahide Conference declare, about those who follow the seven laws. If they are kept, then the Noahide gets to come into God’s eternal Kingdom

This is why it is important to know what god they are talking about because this teaching is a contradiction to plain scriptural teaching concerning the Lord Jesus Christ and why He came, died and rose from the dead.

Romans 3:20²⁰Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Romans 3:23-25 ²³ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ²⁴ being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed

Galatians 4:4-5 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Ephesians  2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, ⁹ not of works, lest anyone should boast. ¹⁰ For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Hebrews 8:13¹³ In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Quite troubling is the fact that there is world government support for this false religios system. Consider Public Law 102-14, H.J. Res 104 102nd Congress of the United States of America March 5, 1991.

In this law, signed by the president of the United States, our government recognized the Noahide Laws as the basis of civilize society.

“Whereas Congress recognizes the historical tradition of ethical values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which our great Nation was founded;

Whereas these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven Noahide Laws;

Whereas without these ethical values and principles the edifice of civilization stands in serious peril of returning to chaos”

Can you see how in a moment of crisis the world would seek to enforce this system, under a governmental and religious leader?

“Whereas the justified preoccupation with these crises must not let the citizens of this Nation lose sight of their responsibility to transmit these historical ethical values from our distinguished past to the generations of the future;

Whereas the Lubavitch movement has fostered and promoted these ethical values and principles throughout the world;

Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the Lubavitch movement, is universally respected and revered and his eighty-ninth birthday falls on March 26, 1991;

Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, “the Rebbe,” this, his ninetieth year will be seen as one of “education and giving,” the year in which we turn to education and charity to return the world to the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven Noahide Laws”

Remember that both president Bush #1 and #2 were new world order globalists and Bush #1 was the president who signed this law.

With this in mind, it is not difficult to see how, in the future, the institution of the plan of the Noahide Conference can potentially bring the execution of those violating the laws through decapitation, as seen in Revelation 20:4.

In my next post we will explore how our speaking of Christ as our Lord or King, or simply speaking His name, will be used to invoke Blasphemy against Christians. under the Noahide laws and what we must do.
