Scripture Points to Solomon as the Antichrist Beast









Scripture Points to Solomon, his seed, clone or resurrection as the Antichrist Beast
 
Much has been written and said about the “mark of the beast” with several different methods of calculating the sum of 666, all of which are probably not scripturally backed. The answer lies in scripture, for the Lord gives the reader many challenges and clues in the volume of his book.

Revelation 13:18 states: here is wisdom, let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred threescore and six.

In the book of Daniel we find that men are weighed in God’s balance, a scale such as one sees as an emblem for the halls of justice. Now each man is given a total sum by the Lord and apparently 666 does not qualify a person for eternal life in heaven. Belshazzar was weighed and found wanting, though the sum of the man was not given. We read in scripture that seven seems to be the number of perfection such as the Seven Spirits of God.

A big clue in scripture as to the identity of the beast is given in:

1Kings 10:14: Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one age was six hundred sixty and six talents of gold. This sentence is startling at the least. How could this great man of God be linked to the mark of the beast?

Keep in mind that the next verse was written after the death of Solomon and his writing of Ecclesiastes.

1 Kings 11:4-8 It came to pass when Solomon was old that his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not perfect with the Lord as was the heart of David, his father, for Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians and after Molech, the abomination of the Ammonites. He built high places of worship for all his strange (or heathen) wives.

1 Chronicles 28:9.  And you, Solomon my son, know thou the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searches  all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off for ever.

Deut 29:18 Lest there should be among you man or woman or family or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from the Lord our God to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood; and it come to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst: the Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven. And the Lord shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law.

For all of you wondering if Solomon was forgiven and saved, I think this scripture just answered your question.

In Christian terminology today we speak of being “born again” or “saved” as a way to define ones’ being accepted into Gods’ family or kingdom. Throughout the Old Testament, the believer was known as “upright” or “perfect in heart” for their solitary faith in the one true God, never worshiping another. Jesus spoke of being perfect and pure in heart.

Psalm 7:9.  Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.
10.  My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart.

Psalms 15:1.  Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill?  2.  He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart;

Psalms 111:1.  Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

Matthew 5:48.  Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Matthew 5:8.  Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Mark 12:30.  And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment.

Luke 8:15.  "But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

The Lord himself spoke to Solomon in: 
 
1 Kings 9:4-9 And if you will walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart. And in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded and will keep my statutes and my judgments; then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel forever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, there shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel. But if you shall at all turn from following me, you or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them: then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people: and at this house, which is high every one that passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house? And they shall answer, because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshiped them, and served them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.

Exodus 34:12.  "Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst.  13.  "But you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and cut down their wooden images  14.  `(for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),  15.  "lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them invites you and you eat of his sacrifice,  16.  "and you take of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters play the harlot with their gods and make your sons play the harlot with their gods.

Most people who have ever regularly attended church have learned the doctrine of “once saved, always saved” taught by men of the modern day who say that we are sealed by the Holy Spirit and can never fall away into perdition. Our Father has promised us that he would never leave us or forsake us but we still have free will and can choose to leave or forsake him by being disobedient and unfaithful in serving and worshiping other Gods. The Bible explains that this sealing is only a deposit or pledge. In 2 Corinthians 1:22 scripture speaks of the first anointed king of Israel, Saul, who tasted of God’s blessings and fell into perdition as the Lord’s spirit was removed from him because he was disobedient in not destroying the totally wicked Amalekites and then went to the witch of Endor to bring up the prophet Samuel from the dead to speak to him.

1 Samuel 28:16 Why do you ask for me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy.

2 Chronicles 15:1.  And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:  2.  and he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you, while ye are with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

Though the Lord has sealed the New Testament believer with a promise of a down payment and he will never abandon us, we still have a free will to leave him as Lucifer and his followers did. Once we leave, we cannot return.

John 15:5.  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. 6.  If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 10.  If ye keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

The author of Hebrews makes it clear to the reader of the new testament the result of apostasy or perdition.

Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good Word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

The same is spoken of in 2 Peter 2:20-21 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.  For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

Ezekiel 18:24.  But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die.

These scriptures do not speak of backsliding or a sinful flesh, but turning to false gods or idols to worship and serve, which is an abomination and blasphemes the Holy Spirit, the unforgivable sin. In a spiritual sense, it is telling the Lord that he is not good enough and committing spiritual adultery with another. Only one reason is given in scripture for divorce: adultery. The same law which applies to the physical applies to the spiritual. A similitude given by a merciful God of judgment:

Deuteronomy 24:1.  When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some uncleanness in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house,  2.  when she has departed from his house, and goes and becomes another man's wife,  3.  if the latter husband detests her and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her to be his wife,  4.  then her former husband who divorced her must not take her back to be his wife after she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the Lord, and you shall not bring sin on the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

Those of us in the spiritual church of God are considered to be a woman or female as we are to be married to God and Christ. When an individual leaves God and worships another god, that person is permanently divorced from the Lord forever. That which is the law in the spiritual, we attempt to practice in the physical. The body of the Church may turn away as a whole, be divorced and return with different members as Jerusalem and Israel are called today, but the individual has no recourse after putting our savior to open shame.

The Greek word for divorce is apostasion from which the word apostasy is derived.

Strong's Ref. # 647  Romanized  apostasion 
Pronounced ap-os-tas'-ee-on  neuter of a (presumed) adj. from a derivative of GSN0868; properly, something separative, i.e. (specially) divorce: KJV--(writing of) divorcement.

In the Old Testament book Deuteronomy, many curses were promised upon those of Israel who would worship other gods and idols. The wheels of these curses started rolling because of the acts of one man named Solomon.

Deuteronomy 13:1.  If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,  2.  and the sign or the wonder of which he spoke to you comes to pass, saying, Let us go after other gods which you have not known, and let us serve them,  3.  you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.  4. You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice, and you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him.  5.  But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has spoken in order to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of bondage, to entice you from the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. So you shall put away the evil from your midst.  6.  If your brother, the son of your mother, your son or your daughter, the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, secretly entices you, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers,  7. of the gods of the people which are all around you, near to you or far off from you, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth,  8.  you shall not consent to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him or conceal him;  9.  but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people.  10.  And you shall stone him with stones until he dies, because he sought to entice you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.  11.  So all Israel shall hear and fear, and not again do such wickedness as this among you.

Deuteronomy 28:54 The man that is tender among you, and very delicate, (weak hearted) his eye shall be evil toward his brother  and toward the wife of his bosom, (Jerusalem) and toward the remnant of his children (Israel) which he shall leave.

There are only two people listed in scripture as being tender or weak hearted: Solomon and his son whom inherited his throne, Rehoboam.

Many claim that King Solomon repented because of the words he wrote in the book of Ecclesiastes, yet action of repentance and abiding in the commandments of God were required to be saved. Let us learn by the writings about King Manasseh:

2 Chronicles 33:9.  And (king) Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did evil more than did the nations whom JHWH destroyed before the children of Israel.

2 Chronicles 33:12.  And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 13.  And he prayed unto him; and he was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that JHWH he was God.

2 Chronicles 33:15.  And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.

Now let us learn what happened when righteous king Josiah of Judah took the reign as king over Israel 12 generations after King Solomon.

2 Kings 23:13.  Then the king (Josiah) defiled the high places that were east of Jerusalem, which were on the south of the Mount of Corruption, which Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the people of Ammon.  14.  And he broke in pieces the sacred pillars and cut down the wooden images, and filled their places with the bones of men.

These high places that King Solomon had built for the foreign gods which he and his many wives worshipped while he was alive were still standing at the time that upright King Josiah began his reign as King of Judah 12 generations later.
                       
Psalm 72 in the original manuscripts includes the name Solomon as the heading indicates. At first glance one might think this psalm to be prophetical of David’s fourth son of Bathsheba. With hindsight we now know that this psalm is a perfect description of our dear beloved messiah Jesus, the son of David in Hebrew terminology. King Solomon did partially fulfill this psalm, but only God has the power to redeem souls, grant eternal life, and fill the whole earth with his glory.

Psalms 72
Solomon.

1.  Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king's son. 2.  May he judge Your people with righteousness And Your afflicted with justice. 3.  Let the mountains bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness. 4.  May he vindicate the afflicted of the people, Save the children of the needy And crush the oppressor. 5.  Let them fear You while the sun {endures,} And as long as the moon, throughout all generations. 6.  May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth. 7.  In his days may the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace till the moon is no more. 8.  May he also rule from sea to sea And from the River to the ends of the earth. 9.  Let the nomads of the desert bow before him, And his enemies lick the dust. 10.  Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts. 11.  And let all kings bow down before him, All nations serve him. 12.  For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper. 13.  He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he will save. 14.  He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight; 15.  So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; And let them pray for him continually; Let them bless him all day long. 16.  May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains; Its fruit will wave like {the cedars of} Lebanon; And may those from the city flourish like vegetation of the earth.
17.  May his name endure forever; May his name increase as long as the sun {shines;} And let {men} bless themselves by him; Let all nations call him blessed. 18.  Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders. 19.  And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen. 20.  The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

King Solomon married Pharaohs daughter.

Malachai 2:11-12 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem, for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the Lord which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. The Lord will cut off the man that does this, the master and the scholar out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offers an offering to the Lord.

1 Kings 3:1.  Now Solomon made a treaty with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and married Pharaoh's daughter; then he brought her to the City of David until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall all around Jerusalem.
1 Kings 3:3.  Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of David his father; only, he sacrificed and burnt incense at the high places.  4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place; a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.

To personally make an offering is a gesture that only priests were allowed and to do so at a high place is forbidden but not an unforgivable sin such as worshiping other gods after already knowing the Lord. Solomon was a prophet and a king; there is only one Prophet, Priest, and King: Jesus.

1 Kings 4:29.  And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. 30.  And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.31.  For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.

1 King 3:11.  Then God said to him (Solomon): "Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice,  12.  "behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.  13.  "And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.  14.  "So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.''  15.  Then Solomon awoke; and indeed it had been a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.

In the next scriptures the king of Tyrus is a spiritual Cherub called Lucifer or Heylel, the proper name given in the Hebrew Bible. The prince of Tyrus which is located in Lebanon where Solomon’s house was built is the man indwelt by this evil spirit.

Ezekiel 28:1.  The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
2.  Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:3.  Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:4.  With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:5.  By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: 6.  Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 7.  Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.8.  They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.9.  Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. 10.  Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

1 Kings 9:19.  And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

1 Kings 5:12.  And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two cut a covenant together.

1 Kings 9:11.  (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

Leviticus 25:23.  `The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me.

This next verse was written to Jehoiakim, descendant of Solomon, the son of the great king Josiah, but it seems to also point back in time toward Solomon.

Jeremiah 22:13 Woe unto him that builds his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong: that uses his neighbors services without wages, and giveth him not for his work, that saith I build me a wide house and large chambers, and cuts him out windows, and it is covered with cedar, and painted with vermilion.

Solomon fulfilled this scripture when he built his own house in the forest of Lebanon which was 100 cubits wide and took 13 years to build, compared to the temple of the Lord which was 20 cubits wide and built in 7 years. He also raised a levy throughout the land and enslaved the strangers in the land to bear burdens and labor. Tyre, another interpretation for Tyrus is a city in Lebanon even to this day.

1 Kings 7:1.  But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 2.  He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars. 3.  And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row. 4.  And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.5.  And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks. 6.  And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them. 7.  Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other. 8.  And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.

Israel was to appoint judges and officers for all their tribes.

Deuteronomy 16:18.  "You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 19.  "You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a gift, for a gift blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous. 20.  "You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

Solomon accepted many gifts from the queen of Sheba and showed her all his possessions, a matter which was forbidden to an outsider of Israel, while giving her anything she wanted.

1 Kings 10:10.  Then she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great abundance, and precious stones. There never again came such abundance of spices as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

1 Kings 10:13.  And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired, whatever she asked, besides what Solomon had given her according to the royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.

Solomon made for himself a great white throne with sex steps leading to it.

2 Chronicles 9:17.  Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. 18.  And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays: 19.  And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.

Revelation 20:11.  Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12.  And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.

King Solomon’s own words.

Song of Solomon 1:5.  I am dark, but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.6.  Do not look upon me, because I am dark, because the sun has tanned me. My mother's sons were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have not kept. (To Her Beloved)

Song of Solomon 3:6.  Who is this coming out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all the merchant's fragrant powders?  7.  Behold, it is Solomon's couch, with sixty valiant men around it, of the valiant of Israel.  8.  They all hold swords, being expert in war. every man has his sword on his thigh because of fear in the night.  9.  Of the wood of Lebanon Solomon the King made himself a palanquin:  10.  He made its pillars of silver, its support of gold, its seat of purple, its interior paved with love by the daughters of Jerusalem.  11.  Go forth, O daughters of Zion, and see King Solomon with the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his espousals, the day of the gladness of his heart. The Beloved

There shall be fear in the night when the day of the Lord comes upon the whole earth.

Isaiah 2:19.  And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake terribly the earth.

Song of Solomon 4:8.  Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon. Look from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

Song of Solomon 5:7.  The watchmen who went about the city found me. They struck me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took my veil away from me.

An Evil leader prophesied to come out of the people of Israel

Nahum 1:11 There is one come out of you, that imagines evil against the Lord, a counselor of belial.

Zechariah 11:16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, whom shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which stands still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear there claws in pieces.

Daniel 11:37 states that: he shall not worship the God of his fathers, a clue that he will be from the people of Israel. Daniel himself prayed to the God of his father’s in the book he authored.

Daniel 11:24.  He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.

Daniel 11:37.  He shall regard neither the God of his father’s nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above them all. 38.  But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things.

544 times is the word fathers listed in scripture besides these 5 times shown here describing the antichrist in the eleventh chapter of the prophetical book Daniel. In every single instance the term “fathers” is attributed to a Hebrew, Israelite or Jew. I believe this is undeniable evidence that the antichrist beast will be of Jewish descent because Judah is the Kings lineage and Jews will only accept such.

Revelation 13:3.  I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.

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.

Keep in mind that the book of Revelation and other prophecies is often symbolic and a sword may represent another weapon such as the sword of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Often the prophecies of the antichrist and beasts are dual meaning in that they speak of the person of the mortal flesh and the great spiritual body which has possessed or inhabits the man. It is sometimes difficult to separate the two but both are accountable for their actions.

Ezekiel 21:26.  thus saith the Lord JHVH: Remove the mitre, and take off the crown; this shall be no more the same; exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.  27.  A ruin, a ruin, a ruin, I will make it: this also shall not come to pass, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.

The king of Tyre is the cherub who empowers the fleshly beast.

Ezekiel 28:11.  Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,  12.  "Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, `Thus says the Lord God: "You were the sealed sum, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.  13.  You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering: the sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created.  14.  "You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.  15.  You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you.  16.  "By the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within, and you sinned; therefore I cast you as a slain thing out of the mountain of God; and I will destroy you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones.  17.  "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I will cast you to the ground and lay you before kings, that they might gaze at you.  18.  "You defile the sanctuary by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trading; therefore I shall bring fire from your midst; it shall devour you, and turn you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all who see you. 19.  All who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you; you shall become a horror, and shall be no more forever.

These next verses begin by speaking to the spiritual beast and then finish by speaking to the mortal beast.

Isaiah 14:12.  "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, Heylel son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations!  13.  For you have said in your heart: `I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; 14.  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.'  15.  Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit.  16.  "Those who see you will gaze at you, and consider you, saying: `Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms,  17.  who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed its cities, who did not open the house of his prisoners?'  18.  "All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, everyone in his own house;  19.  but you are cast out of your grave like an abominable branch, Like the garment of those who are slain, thrust through with a sword, who go down to the stones of the pit, like a corpse trodden under foot.  20.  You will not be joined with them in burial, because you have destroyed your land and slain your people. The seed of evildoers shall never be named. (not listed in the book of life)

Lucifer or Heylel the proper name written in scripture inhabits and possesses a fleshly body of an unnamed leader known as the prince of Tyrus.

Daniel 7:3.  "And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other.  4.  "The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

1 Kings 3:12.  12.  behold, I now do according to your word.  Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you. 

1 Kings 4:29.  And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
30.  And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. 31.  For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.

The multiplying of horses

1 Kings 10:28.  And Solomon had horses imported from Egypt and Keveh; the king's merchants bought them in Keveh at the current price.

Deuteronomy 17:14.  "When you come to the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, `I will set a king over me like all the nations that are around me,'15.  "you shall surely set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses; one from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother. 16.  "But he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses, for the Lord has said to you, `You shall not return that way again.' 17.  "Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly multiply silver and gold for himself.  18.  "Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, from the one before the priests, the Levites.  19.  "And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes,20.  "that his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, and that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children in the midst of Israel.

2 Chronicles 9:30.  And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 31.  And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. 29.  Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?

The other true books of all the acts of Solomon are not in circulation today. King Solomon took the throne at an approximate age of 12 and died at a young age of approximately 52 while the circumstances of his death remain a mystery.

In Revelation 17:10-11 we read: And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, the other is not yet come, and when he comes, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Many assume that it will be the 7th beast that is revived from the dead, but scripture clearly states that the beast that was and is not at the time of this prophecy would be the 8th beast. To this point in time there were only 6 beasts with the 6th in power at the time. Therefore one must calculate that the 8th beast will be one of the first 5 beasts because the beast that was is in the past tense at the time of this writing of the prophet John. It also appears that the spiritual beast who is revived is Abaddon or Apollyon who has been locked in the pit or abyssal.

Rahab and Leviathan are two names given to the serpent dragon who is the beast who was slain and broken into seven different pieces or heads. This unification of seven evil spirits is quite possibly the anti-holy spirit.

Revelation 12: 3.  And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.

Psalm 74:13.  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.

Psalm 89:10.  Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

Isaiah 27:1.  In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong, will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan that twisted serpent; He will slay the dragon that is in the sea.

Isaiah 51:9.  Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

Job 26:12.  "He quieted the sea with His power, And by His understanding He shattered Rahab. 13.  "By His breath the heavens are cleared; His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent.

Revelation 13:3.  And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

We learn in Jude verse 9 that the devil tried to claim the body of Moses for his own purposes, only to be denied by Michael in the name of the Lord. It may be possible for Satan to claim dead bodies for his own purposes in the end times. It must be a person whom the people of Israel will accept as their messiah. With the advancement of technology today, there is a strong possibility that King Solomon shall be or already has been cloned and he shall be the beast or the image of the beast. There is also a possibility that the beast shall be of the same blood line as Solomon just as Belshazzar was of the blood line of Nebuchadnezzar. In prophecy an offspring is many times called by the name of a select elect forefather such as the messiah was sometimes prophesied to be David or his seed.

The name of Jeconiah is missing from the Gospel of Luke for many disputed reasons. In any case we know that Jesus was born of a virgin birth, conceived by the Holy Spirit of the seed of David so that all those born to David, conceived  in the flesh afterward are of no consequence in terms of the future Messiah of Israel and the world. Jesus Christ is the savior of the world and future King of Israel.

Jeremiah 22:23.  O inhabitant of Lebanon, making your nest in the cedars, how gracious will you be when pangs come upon you, like the pain of a woman in labor?  24.  "As I live,'' says the Lord, "though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were the signet on My right hand, yet I would pluck you off;  25.  "and I will give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of those whose face you fear the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the hand of the Chaldeans.  26.  "So I will cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into another country where you were not born; and there you shall die.  27.  "But to the land to which they desire to return, there they shall not return.  28.  "Is this man Coniah a despised, broken idol? Is he a vessel in which is no pleasure? Why are they cast out, he and his descendants, and cast into a land which they do not know? 29.  O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord! 30.  Thus says the Lord: `Write this man down as childless, a man who shall not prosper in his days; for none of his descendants shall prosper, sitting on the throne of David, and ruling anymore in Judah.'

The evil mountain who is the face of Zerubbabel is Heylel aka Lucifer

Revelation 8:8.  Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood;  9.  and a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Jeremiah 51:24.  "And I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all the evil they have done in Zion in your sight,'' says the Lord. 25.  "Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, who destroys all the earth,'' says the Lord. "And I will stretch out My hand against you, roll you down from the rocks, and make you a burnt mountain. 26.  They shall not take from you a stone for a corner nor a stone for a foundation, but you shall be desolate forever,'' says the Lord.

Jeremiah 22:24.  "As I live,'' says the Lord, "though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were the signet on My right hand, yet I would pluck you off;

The king of Babylon is known to be the beast.

Jeremiah 43:10.  "and say to them, `Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: "Behold, I will send and bring Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will set his throne above these stones that I have hidden. And he will spread his royal pavilion over them.

Jeremiah 51:34.  "Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me, he has crushed me; he has made me an empty vessel, he has swallowed me up like a dragon; he has filled his stomach with my delicacies, he has spit me out.

Jeremiah 51:44.  I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring out of his mouth what he has swallowed; and the nations shall not stream to him anymore. Yes, the wall of Babylon shall fall.

Isaiah 14:3.  When the Lord has given you rest from your pain and turmoil and the hard service with which you were made to serve,   4.  you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: "How the oppressor has ceased, the insolent fury ceased!  5.  The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of rulers, 
 6.  that smote the peoples in wrath with unceasing blows, that ruled the nations in anger with unrelenting persecution.   7.  The whole earth is at rest and quiet; they break forth into singing.   8.  The cypresses rejoice at you, the cedars of Lebanon, saying, 'Since you were laid low, no hewer comes up against us.'   9.  Sheol beneath is stirred up to meet you when you come, it rouses the shades to greet you, all who were leaders of the earth; it raises from their thrones all who were kings of the nations.   10.  All of them will speak and say to you: 'You too have become as weak as we! You have become like us!'   11.  Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, the sound of your harps; maggots are the bed beneath you, and worms are your covering.  12.  "How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! 

The six pointed star or hexagram on the flag of Israel is thought to be the Star of David, when in reality it is the seal of Solomon, which originated from the star of the god of Remphan, which is mentioned in Acts 7. This star and variations of it are the mark of the beast. It is also interesting to note that many people joined to secret societies such as freemasons use this star as one of their symbols and practice the resurrection of Solomon in their secret rituals as they are also extremely eager to build the new temple in Israel.

Song of Solomon 8:6.  Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death, jealousy as cruel as the grave; its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame.

Deuteronomy 4:15.  Take careful heed to yourselves, for you saw no form when the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, 16.  lest you act corruptly and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of any figure: the likeness of male or female, 17.  the likeness of any beast that is on the earth or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, 18.  the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground or the likeness of any fish that is in the water beneath the earth.

2 Chronicles 35:1.  Now Josiah kept a Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem, and they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the first month.  2.  And he set the priests in their duties and encouraged them for the service of the house of the Lord.  3.  Then he said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to the Lord: "Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built. It shall no longer be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve the Lord your God and His people Israel.

There are 10 kings from 10 kingdoms who assist the beast in murdering God’s chosen people written about in the prophetical books of Daniel and Revelation. A sea is represented as Satans children in prophecy and is the home of the seven headed beast Leviathan.

1 Kings 7:23.  Then he made the sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. 24.  And below its brim were ornamental buds encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the sea. The ornamental buds were cast in two rows when it was cast.  25.  It stood on twelve oxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the sea was set upon them, and all their back parts pointed inward.

The pillars of Jachin and Boaz

Please study the word of God to find yourselves approved at the coming day of our Lord. It is not difficult if the Holy Spirit dwells within your being to guide you. Earnestly seek and pray that he will give you wisdom and knowledge concerning all truth. A Strong’s concordance used with an old King James Bible and or computer Bible program is extremely helpful.

Stay away from commentaries, for they are written by wolves in sheep’s clothing and is are one of the biggest reasons for all the false doctrines being taught at this present day. Do not take my, the authors words, which are prone to sometimes err  to be those of God but only use them to point you toward the Word of God to research and study these things for yourself. There are many of Satan’s children intentionally leading the foolish astray today in the churches. There will also be no excuse for those following well meaning false teachers and believing false doctrines at the great judgment. Each person is responsible for working out their own salvation and filling their lamp with pure oil. There will be many who question the Lord on their way to The Lake of fire, thinking in their heart that they were doing the will of the Father. Faith comes by hearing and obeying the Word of God. 

The image of the Beast may be a clone of King Solomon’s body.
The beast may be the resurrected or cloned Solomon.
The hexagram or Seal of Solomon is probably the mark of the beast.
There is the possibility that the antichrist shall come from the ancestral seed of Solomon

Jesus is the only qualified candidate to sit on the throne of Israel as King.
