It is definitely the beginning. I think it is a type of anti-CHrist. There are other signs that haven't come forth.
The term "antichrist" was used in the bible to simply describe those who denied Jesus was the "Christ". It doesn't describe some apocalyptic demonic character. That is just a bunch of nonsense fearmongers have told the peasants to keep them in line. Jesus doesn't preach fear like that.
OMG......LOL.....Do you feel like you have been outcasted from society? Are you able to buy things you need? Yes? Well, then it was not the mark. First is was the Social Security number, then credit cards, bar codes, driver license, national ID card idea, vaccines, and all kinds of other things to keep religious people in fear. Oh no, its the voter id, isn't it.....LOL Like Bud Light and Target are protected? They have "W" tattooed on the foreheads. People have said that for decades. This 'woke' thing is so oversold as the greatest evil that its not even funny. At least commies and terrorists actually existed as a threat, but 'woke'.........Its true that if you repeat a lie often enough people will start believing it.
You need to read the Book of Daniel. Jesus knew it well. It fits hand in glove with Revelations. There will be a concentration of power. You are simply wrong. Prophecy proved itself with the Coming of Jesus the first time and it will again. Perhaps you should study. Ask God what He would show you instead of having a predetermined agenda.
People yammering about globalism doesn't mean there is any more "concentration of power" than there has ever been, except during the time of Empires. The world stands divided between West, and Russia and China while Africa and South America just mind their own business. We are headed for more division if anything. For decades, heck centuries, people have been seeing signs of the end days, and yet here we are. Sure, it will come, but this time period is not fitting the bill any better than any other. The turmoil and chaos of the 1960s has people swearing the end was near and this is nothing compared to the 60s
Oh, I certainly have. He has shown me that judging others is pointless, as our outer world is a reflection of our inner world. There is nothing to fear, as all that exists is god, which is synonymous with love. Anything that is not based on love is based on fear, and does not exist. It is an illusion to help us better understand our true nature. When you are judging others, that you would call 'evil', or antichrist, you are basically pointing the finger at your own self deception, as you have not realized yet that there is nothing except god.
Yes. Christ did not teach to live in fear and spend our days pointing out sins in others. He said He left us His peace, but all we see is the exact opposite. Matt. 11 Verses 28 to 30 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. "
You are deceived when you say we are not to judge events of the time or behavior. We definitely judge our own behavior and behavior that effects others. How else would we know how to pray? Jesus was speaking of judging people. He showed us we should definitely take a stand against evil, protect the weak and that requires taking a stand. I do not condemn anyone. I never have called a homosexual evil. However promoting the behavior, mutilating the body, is definitely evil. When you say "all that exists is god" (lower case g) I think I know where you are coming from. God (capitol G) is a Creator. He is not creation.
So you point out a verse. Very good. Do you stand on the entire Word of God? Do you put your light under a bushel as the agnostics would have you do? Are you the salt of the earth? or have you lost your saltiness only to be thrown on the path and be trodden under the feet of men? These are questions I ask myself.
