Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
The election of our souls is the single most important decision we will ever make as it determines if we will perish or live forever.
The age-old question of the Anti-Crhist does not come up often enough in in Christian circles but when it does, I as a Christian, join the debate. There are many Scriptures to study concerning the Anti-Christ that diligent Bible scholars have for hundreds of years now. With the help of the Holy Spirit I myself was able to search for the Truth. In this blog we will talk about the Anti-Christ, compare the times we are living in to his generation, and review our options.
The Holy Scriptures calls the Anti-Christ: The Anti-Christ, The Man of Sin, The Son of Perdition, and The Beast (1 John 2:18, 2 Thessalonians 2:3, Revelation 13:18). Before going and further, let us read the definition of Anti-Christ: He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son (1 John 2:22). The Word of God also tells us that the spirit of Antichrist was already in the world at the time of writing of the Epistle of John.
The above just confirmed what many Christians already know, we are living in the Last Days (Hebrews 1:1-2); the characteristics of which Jesus describes in Matthew 24 and Luke 21. I counted more than 15 End Time prophecies in these two chapters, and again with the help of the Holy Spirit, I confirmed that the majority of them are already fulfilled, including the start of "Great Tribulation". We are told of the many perils Jews and Christians will endure as a result of the diabolical powers of the Anti-Christ during "Great Tribulation". For the Witness of Jesus Christ, he will "make war with the saints, and [prevail]" (Revelation 13:7).
I take this opportunity to encourage all Christians reading this blog to examine himself and ensure that he is in the family of God and Christ, and to continue believing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, undeterred by the power of the Anti-Christ. Let the Light of Christ shine more and more in your hearts and all around you, as you abound more and more in love (Philippians 1:9).
To those of you who have not accepted Jesus as Lord, please do so now and save yourselves. Only abiding faith in the Lord Jesus can save us. Pray this prayer out loud from your heart:
Heavenly Father, I know that I am a sinner, but I believe that You sent Your Son, Jesus, to die for my sins. And I believe that You raised Jesus from the dead, and made Him Lord. Heavenly Father, please forgive me of my sins. I don't want to sin anymore. I welcome Jesus into my heart and my life as my Lord and Savior right now. Please help me to live like Jesus. In the Name of Jesus I pray, and give you thanks. Amen.
All those who worship the Anti-Christ or his image will have denied God, the Father and Jesus of Nazareth His Son. Every worshipper of the Anti-Christ will accept a mark known as "The Mark of the Beast." They will allow themselves to be deluded by the ballyhooed acts of wickedness performed by the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet who caball the arenas of justice throughout the world with theatrical and spectacular signs—wicked power God will allow Satan to give them for a time. Whoever accepts "The Mark of the Beast" shall be doomed (Rev. 19:20-21).
Over a decade ago I decided to renew my vows to make Jesus of Nazareth my Lord and Savior, and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. I decided again to get water baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ also. Since then I have never looked back and as Christ continues to strengthen me, I never will. It is my desire to save my soul from the eternal flames of Hell and the Lake of Fire: two very real places described in the Holy Scriptures where all sinners will spend eternity (Rev 14:9-11, 19:20, 20:10).
I am convinced that Jesus is Lord, Son of God, Who died for the sins of the world, and Whom God raised from the dead. The Name of Jesus Christ means Anointed Savior, God chose Jesus (The Amplified Bible, Matt. 1:1, 21). The Scripture says Jesus was born in Bethlehem and that He lived in Nazareth, Israel; that He was empowered by the Holy Spirit to go about teaching the Gospel, and doing good, and that He takes away the sins of the world (Jhn. 1:29, 1 Jhn. 2:22).
Because Jesus is Lord of lords and Savior, I choose to worship Him, and to accept His seal (2 Timothy 2:19). Who do you choose to worship, the True God through faith in His Son Jesus Who has all power, or do you choose the worship the Anti-Christ and accept his mark?
