The Great Mission of
the Antichrist
While it is common knowledge that the Antichrist wants to
be seated on the throne of the Almighty God, most Bible readers have missed the
reason why the Antichrist and Satan, the one who inhabits his body, desires to change
times and laws and the true definitions of these terms.
Jeremiah
31:35. Thus says the Lord, Who gives the
sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon
and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, and its waves
roar (the Lord of hosts is His name):
36. "If
those ordinances depart from before Me,'' says the Lord, "Then the seed of Israel
shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever.'' 37.
Thus says the Lord: "If heaven above can be
measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all
that they have done,'' says the Lord.
Jeremiah 33:19. And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying, 20. Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; 21. Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. 22. `As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me.' ''
At first glance it looks like a challenge to Jeremiah to
break the Lord’s covenant with night and day, but a deeper look into the word
reveals that a better translation would be:
If can be broken my covenant of the day and night in their season;
The words if and you are not in the original manuscripts of this verse but added to attempt to perform proper English writing.
The Lord even clarifies for any who are confused in Jeremiah 33:25. Thus saith the Lord; If my covenant be not with day
and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven
and earth; 26. Then will I cast
away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any
of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will
cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
Genesis 1:14. Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15. "and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth''; and it was so. 16. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. 17. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18. and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
Now we have seen right before our eyes the challenge that
Satan has undertaken to destroy the people of God who have made a covenant with
him and seek to do his will. The second part of this mystery is what times and
what laws? Many have erred, whether intentionally or foolishly to explain that
the word times is defined as dates or set days. The word times is often interchanged with seasons:
Hebrew Strong's Ref. # 6256 Romanized `eth Pronounced ayth from HSN5703; time, especially (adverb with preposition) now, when, etc.:
KJV-- + after, [al-]ways, X certain, + continually,
+ evening, long, (due) season,
so [long] as, [even-, evening-, noon-]tide, ([meal-]), what) time, when.
Aramaic
Strong's Ref. # 2166
Romanized zman Pronounced zem-awn'(Aramaic) from HSN2165;
the same as HSN2165: KJV--season, time.
The latter Aramaic version leaves no doubt as to its definition and is used in the prophecy of Daniel.
Daniel
7:25. And he shall speak great words
against the most High, and shall wear out the saints
of the most High, and think to change times and
laws: and they shall be given into his hand
until a time and times and the dividing of time.
I believe that we can deduce from scripture that the beast will attempt to change the length
of days, nights, and seasons from the God of heaven’s originally ordained
statutes. It does not mean that he will change the day of worship for God from
Saturday to Sunday. Saturday is the Sabbath and Sunday is the Lord’s Day.
In these current days of the great falling away of the faith it is likely that you will
be celebrating and honoring these days alone because most in the church are
counterfeit, false believers. The Jewish disciples and apostles kept and
revered both days. If you worship the Lord in Truth, then either day is good,
both are better, and all seven days is best! As far as the law of doing no work on the
seventh day, If you have entered into Jesus, you have entered into his rest
which is a future day known as the millennium. The book of Hebrews will clarify
this for you.
Hebrews
3:18. And to whom did He swear that they
would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19.
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Hebrews 4:3. For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: "So I swore in My wrath, they shall not enter My rest,'' although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4. For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works''; 5. and again in this place: "They shall not enter My rest.'' 6. Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, 7. again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today,'' after such a long time, as it has been said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.'' 8. For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9. There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. 11. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
Revelation 14:13. Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Write: `Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.' '' "Yes,'' says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.''
Yet it is good to experience keeping the traditions,
feasts and ordinances of the Law given to Israel and God will bless you for it,
only beware of those who consider it to be mandatory. What is mandatory is we must obey the commandments set forth by Jesus Christ that he gave
to us in the New Testament in order
to abide in him and be purified from
this corrupted earth. While it is very important to physically rest one day a
week, and restrain yourself from trying to get ahead financially, one thing to
remember when interpreting scripture is that there is a spiritual meaning lying
beneath the surface of all feasts, ordinances and laws which must be discovered
through study of the Word and the Holy Spirit.
Matthew
22:37. Jesus said to him, " `You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with
all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38. "This is the first
and great commandment. 39. "And the second is
like it: `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
40.
"On these
two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.''
John 13:34. "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
John 15:13. "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
If you love Jesus, you will lay down your life for him
and his Word when that time comes.
Recently, scientists stated that the 24 hour day was
actually shortened by microseconds after the tragic earthquake which shook
Japan and this statement inspired me to recall the scriptures about how the days would be shortened for the elects sake
and that their are greater
earthquakes mentioned in future prophecy.
So we know that the true God is the only one who has power to change times and seasons as stated by the prophet Daniel and we also know that the antichrist will attempt to change times and laws and may be somewhat successful temporarily for 3.5 years as he persecutes the saints.
Daniel
2:20. Daniel answered and said:
"Blessed be the name of God forever and
ever, for wisdom and might are His. 21. And
He changes the times and the seasons; He removes
kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those
who have understanding. 22. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows
what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him.
Psalm 74:12. For God is my King from of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth. 13. You divided the sea by Your strength; You broke the heads of the sea serpent in the waters. 14. You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces, And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness. 15. You broke open the fountain and the flood; You dried up mighty rivers. 16. The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have prepared the light and the sun. 17. You have set all the borders of the earth; You have made summer and winter.
Isaiah 13:9. Behold, the day of the Lord comes, cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; and He will destroy its sinners from it. 10. For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine. 11. "I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 12. I will make a mortal more rare than fine gold, a man more than the golden wedge of Ophir.
Ezekiel 32:1. And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2. "Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him: `You are like a young lion among the nations, and you are like a monster in the seas, bursting forth in your rivers, troubling the waters with your feet, and fouling their rivers.'
Ezekiel 32:7. When I put out your light, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. 8. All the bright lights of the heavens I will make dark over you, and bring darkness upon your land,' says the Lord God.
Revelation 8:12. Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened; and a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.
What laws will be changed?
Revelation
13:14. And he deceives those who dwell
on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the
beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who
was wounded by the sword and lived. 15. He
was granted power to give breath to the image of
the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to
be killed. 16. And he causes all,
both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their
right hand or on their foreheads, 17. and
that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the
beast, or the number of his name. 18.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of
the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is
666.
Daniel
9:27. Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; but in the
middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice
and offering. and on the wing of abominations
shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is
determined, is poured out on the desolate.''
Daniel 11:28. "While returning to his land with great riches, his heart shall be moved against the holy covenant; so he shall do damage and return to his own land.
Daniel 11:36. "Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done.
Daniel 11:39. "Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.
Psalm
55:20. He has put forth his hands
against those who were at peace with him; He has broken
his covenant. 21. The words of his mouth were smoother than
butter, But war was in his heart; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were
drawn swords.
Isaiah 24:5. The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, Broken the everlasting covenant. 6. Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell in it are desolate. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
Daniel
6:5. Then said these men, We shall not
find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning
the law of his God. 6. Then these presidents and princes assembled
together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
7. All the presidents of the kingdom,
the governors, and the princes, the counsellers, and the captains, have
consulted together to establish a royal statute,
and to make a firm decree, that whosoever
shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be
cast into the den of lions.
The book of Esther also shows us some foreshadows of the
end days.
Esther 3:8. And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them. 9. If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.
Esther 3:13. And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
You may interchange Christians with Jews because a true
Jew is one who knows the Lord Jesus and he considers many of those who reject
him of the Israelite blood line children of their father Satan, the seed of the
serpent. and those gentiles who believe in faith are grafted in to the living
tree. We being many are one body in Christ.
Jew, Israel, gentile, Christian.
The scriptures above give one a pretty good idea about
what laws will be changed and enacted in the future days of the beast who will
rule for 3.5 years in Jerusalem. There is a secret law being enforced by the
serpent seed Nephilim with the aid of technological advancements and medical
knowledge of blood types and DNA to eradicate all true believers, pure human and
Israelite blood as we speak.
Psalm 10:8 They sit in the
lurking places of the villages; In the secret
places they murder the innocent; Their eyes are
secretly fixed on the helpless.10:9 He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den; He lies in
wait to catch the poor; He catches the poor when
he draws him into his net.
Psalm 37:32. The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to slay him. 33. The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Psalm 38:12. Those also who seek my life lay snares for me; Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction, And plan deception all the day long.
We now know that Satan, the devil, or Beelzebub also
reads the Bible and considers the words written in Jeremiah to be true as he
seeks to destroy the people of God which can only be done by changing covenants
of earthly times (seasons) and laws of peoples as promised by our Lord.
The Lord God Almighty has also promised that evil will be
defeated and his people will reign with him
in his kingdom forever!
Revelation
19:20. Then the
beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in
his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and
those who worshiped his image. These two were cast
alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from
the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled
with their flesh.
Revelation 20:10. And the devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Revelation 19:11. Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 21:1. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4. "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.'' 5. Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new.'' And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful.'' 6. And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7. "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8. "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.''
