Hi shalom, I have always "almost" lined right up with what you say about the last days. It's like you're saying nearly the same thing as me but from a different type of understanding, if that makes any sense. I remember a few years ago when your statement about the anti-christ "faking" the return of the Lord and deceiving many was a shock to me. I realized you were right about that immediately. Of course the devil will fake that. It even says so in many places, Jesus says don't be deceived. I had been caught up in the idea of an earthly political leader taking control politically and setting himself up in Israel in the last days. Not a miraculous appearance deceiving the whole world, except the true believer's. But it's all there to read. Together we can find all it's meaning, with a lot of help from the Holy Spirit! This faking of the Lord's return will be near the end, and will probably cause the church going unsaved to be deceived and "fall away" to follow the anti-christ. But Jesus said that His sheep know His voice, and another they will not follow. Thank you Jesus!! Praise the Lord!! Halleluia!! I had been thinking persecution would separate the wheat from the chaff because the anti-christ is going to force all to take his mark, the mark of the beast. The church going unsaved will take the mark, but not the true believer's. So maybe that goes hand in hand, the faked return of the Lord and the forcing of the mark of the beast. The antichrist will wage war against the church and prevail (temporarily) and many true believer's will be martyred. There is a lot to know about the mark of the beast and God's use of it to finally separate the believer's from the rest of the world. Until the end there has been the process of man having one life and then comes the judgement, for them. But the last generation will have to be judged before they actually meet death, judged while still alive. That is a new situation for God to deal with. There has to be a new way to judge billions of people at one time while they still live, and God's judgement must be just. So through the mark of the beast the whole world judges themselves, chooses for themselves their master. Is that just? I think so. I think that's God's perfect plan. Once that process of the mark of the beast is complete then the earth is reaped of Jesus's true subjects and then comes the wrath of God on the rest of the world. After the mark of the beast process is complete there is no further reason to delay, and God won't delay any longer.
