Last-days Hurricane

Deadly winds are beginning to blow. Not the literal type of wind, but wind like that prophesied by Jesus for the last days of the age before the Tribulation begins.

Jesus foretold the following when asked for the sign of His coming:

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring. (Luke 21:25)

While we observe how near we are to the midnight hour of human history, this foretelling by the Lord is front and center. It is most prominent in view with the current snapshot of the land some believe the future Antichrist rules at present.

It is hard to fathom how this fellow could be that future ruler of most of the world—destined to be worshiped. He certainly isn’t worshiped at present by the people of France.

While he attended an Elton John concert, one of his chief cities as well as others was, like Nero’s Rome, burning. He apparently stayed at the concert despite knowledge that Marseille was on fire.

France has increasingly become known as a nation in which chaos and anarchy are out of control. President Emmanuel Macron, if not oblivious to the carnage, certainly hasn’t seemed until recent days to consider things serious enough to crack down full force on those perpetrating the riotous damage.

Jesus’ words about the “seas and waves roaring” are interpreted by many top scholars to mean the seas of humanity being in extraordinary tumult at the time Christ is on the verge of returning.

The winds stirring the “seas and waves” in that regard have reached hurricane status in Macron’s nation, it would seem. The following frames conditions as of this writing.

President Macron was last night facing calls to impose a state of emergency after marauding gangs of rioters—some armed with stolen rifles—clashed with police in a fourth night of mayhem resulting in nearly 1,000 arrests.

Looters ransacked some of France’s major cities as local police declared they were now at “war” with “savage hordes of vermin”—with officers from two of the country’s biggest policing unions now threatening to revolt.

Britain’s Foreign Office issued an alert to tourists thinking of travelling to France, as the violence continued to deepen following the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk who was “executed” by French police during a traffic stop on Tuesday.

The teenager’s funeral is being held today against the backdrop of large parts of France being engulfed by fires, violence and devastating riots, with police reporting 994 arrests overnight…

There were more than 3,800 fires on public roads last night, while more than 500 buildings were set alight.

Emmanuel Macron green lit the use of armoured vehicles and riot police, as 45,000 officers were deployed in a desperate attempt to regain control. But the French president has been blasted for not acting fast enough. (“France on red alert: Macron faces calls to impose ‘state of emergency’ after marauding gangs with GUNS are seen rampaging in Marseille and police HQ is ransacked in fourth night of chaos,” By George Iddenden and Arthur Parashar and Peter Allen in Paris, Daily Mail Online, 7/1/23)

This candidate for becoming the world’s most powerful dictator, according to some, has some distance to go in attaining the abilities that man of sin is prophesied to possess. He has the name that is most interesting. It might be a moniker appropriate for the Antichrist, but that seems to be the extent of his potential for achieving that level of infamy.

I probably shouldn’t be so facetious in making that statement. Who knows? The man whose name means “God with us” might yet be the guy the New World Order sorts are looking for to implement their Great Reset plans.

One thing sure, Macron is in the middle of what is becoming a full-blown, humanity-generated hurricane across his country and the world. I and others are sensing the human “sea and waves roaring” that indicate Christ’s answer to His disciples atop the Mount of Olives.

America has in the recent past endured weeks and even months of destructive winds as such perpetrators as Black Lives Matter and Antifa have wreaked. With the society and culture in such a tumultuous and divided condition, and with deliberate efforts to stir wickedness, the hurricane of Luke 21:25 is almost upon this generation.

This all means, of course, that the same Lord who gave that “seas and waves roaring” prophecy will soon fulfill the following prophecy, through which He also promised believers great hope and comfort:

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:28)

    I understand that the antichrist will not be revealed until after the church is taken out of the way. I don’t see how Macron can be that man.

    • Ruth L's avatar Ruth L says:

      My question is: To whom is the Antichrist going to be revealed? The revelation will be lost on unbelievers. If Christians aren’t here–who are the only ones who would know anything about Antichrist–how is it considered a revelation? I have never been able to answer this question from II Thess 2. If it were a revelation at the midpoint at the Abomination of Desolation, it could be a revelation to Jews. And The Apostasy could happen at the same time…when myriads of “professing” Christians actually apostatize and take the mark. It would separate true Christians from false. I know Arnold Fructenbaum says there are two revelations of Antichrist, but he never explains how he supports that view from scripture. I am still not certain about when and how and to whom Antichrist is revealed. It seems to me that since the 70th week is about Israel that the revelation would be to Israel. In that case, the Church could be gone anytime before the revelation to the Jews at the midpoint. But that also means that they could still be here just before the midpoint?? I have always said to myself that the signing of the covenant is the revelation of Antichrist, but that means the Church would have to be here to witness it as they are the only ones who would recognize that signing as the revelation of Antichrist–the Jews wouldn’t. Perhaps we are raptured a minute after he signs the covenant? I don’t know. How can you have a revelation if no one is there to recognize what it is? I have always been pre-trib, but I can’t completely reconcile that with II Thess 2, despite all the arguments I have heard. And I have heard all of them.

      • robinlinaz's avatar robinlinaz says:

        There will only be a very brief time after the Rapture, when there are no Christians on earth. I personally believe that gap will literally be just minutes, or at the most a few hours, because MANY who have been exposed to the gospel will suddenly have their eyes opened the moment we are gone. They will fall to their knees and will come to saving faith. The Bible makes clear that there will be a great multitude of new (Tribulation) saints who are redeemed during that terrible 7 years…both Gentiles and Jews.

        The Tribulation begins when the signing of the 7-year covenant is executed. That doesn’t mean the whole world will immediately recognize the Man of Sin, any more than when Jesus was not widely recognized as the Lamb of God, the Messiah, after He was baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan. Revelation doesn’t mean immediate “recognition”. Only those with eyes to see and ears to hear will know, however, there will be plenty who understand who he is. Then the 144K Jewish Evangelists, the 2 Witnesses and all the prophesied signs will unfold. Sadly, even after all of this and more, most of the world will be deceived and take the Mark; God promises “great deception” will initiate that terrible choice.

        Dr. Fructenbaum refers to the revealing of the Man of Sin as described in the Bible, at the signing of the 7-year covenant, and then again to the Jews when they understand who he really is: he commits the Abomination of Desolation in the 3rd temple at the 1/2 way point of the Tribulation. So indeed the Bible does explicitly describe two revelations of the AC.

        We are not here for either of those revealings, praise Jesus!

      • Ruth L's avatar Ruth L says:

        Sorry…I don’t see the basis for your certainty regarding these things. For instance, I think “The Tribuation” might not be the entire 7 years (70th week). Jesus said the Abom of Des would lead to the time of great tribulation such as never had been or will be. There is nothing to say that what we are exempt from might not be just the last half of the 7 years. I believe people are far too certain of their interpretation and leave no room for events unfolding that clarify the word of God.

      • robinlinaz's avatar robinlinaz says:

        With all respect, your lack of certainty doesn’t diminish my own confidence in the revealed word of the Bible or my clear understanding of the nature of God. There is plenty of biblical evidence available to those who want to fully understand what has been foretold. It was explicitly given to us by Jesus to give us confidence, comfort and to encourage us before what is coming falls upon the whole world. (Revelation 3:10 is but one scripture that makes this clear.) No, that doesn’t mean we won’t suffer tribulation, but we won’t be here for THE Tribulation’s 7 years. All of the seal, trumpet and bowl judgments are part of Daniel’s 70th Week. The second 3.5 years of the 7 years is often classified as the Great Tribulation, but the 7 years runs consecutively and Jesus is the one who opens the scroll, initiating those years. ALL of this is HIS Judgment.

        It seems you weren’t really asking for clarification and were positing a view of the mid-Trib Rapture viewpoint. I misunderstood, I was genuinely trying to bring clarity to what I thought were sincere questions.

      • Ruth L's avatar Ruth L says:

        I am saying that there are questions that remain. There is something wrong when one no longer has any questions and thinks he or she knows all the answers.
        I am simply leaving room for a mid-trib or even a later prewrath Rapture, when the cosmic disturbances appear at the 6th seal. We are only exempt from God’s WRATH according to the scripture. The question is: When does God’s wrath begin? I have always said in the past, because Jesus opens the scroll, that is the beginning of wrath. But I have to question if that is really what the scripture is saying. I think it could be that the 144,000 are being sealed at that time to be protected from God’s wrath And it is at the 6th seal is when the text says, “…hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the WRATH of the Lamb.” (And I know the arguments about the tense of the verb, so don’t bother to repeat them.)
        I believe there is far too much certainty and too much arrogance regarding the interpretation of the prophetic scriptures.

      • Ted Bates's avatar Ted Bates says:

        Hi Robin. In 2 Thessalonians 2, we are told about 2 different events that are tied together in chronological order. The first event, “Our gathering together with Him,” is the rapture. The “day of Christ,” is the 7 year tribulation. The seven year tribulation cannot begin until the antichrist is revealed, the man of sin and the son of perdition. That’s because Daniel 9:27 tells us that the 70th week begins with the “prince who is to come” “confirming a covenant with many.” That is what begins the last 7 years. But 2 Thessalonians 2 also tells us that the prince who is to come cannot be revealed until the one who restrains him is taken out of the way. I understand that the Restrainer is the Holy Spirit who indwells believers in Jesus. It’s like watching Matt Dillon on Gun Smoke. Matt Dillon is the one who restrains lawlessness, but he uses a gun. If Matt Dillon lost his gun, he would not be able to restrain lawlessness. As the Restrainer is the Holy Spirit, believers are the weapons He uses to restrain lawlessness. So if believers are raptured, then the Restrainer will be taken out of the way and then the lawless one can be revealed. Once the lawless one can be revealed, he will come on the scene and confirm a covenant and that is what begins the tribulation, 7 weeks described in Daniel 9:,20-27. So 1. The revealing of the lawless one cannot begin until the Restrainer is out of the way. That will occur at the rapture. Then he will be revealed by confirming a covenant with many for one week. So 2. The Restrainer must be out of the way first. That will occur at the time of the rapture of the church, and then the antichrist can come on the scene and begin the last 7 years.

      • robinlinaz's avatar robinlinaz says:

        I completely agree Ted. And it seems quite clear to most eschatological scholars as well.

      • Ted Bates's avatar Ted Bates says:

        Hi. Perhaps when 2 Thessalonians 2 is translated it may have been better to say “come on the scene” rather than “revealed.” I don’t know if anyone will recognize that this revealing of the lawless one is in scripture. It tells us though that we will be out of here before the lawless one comes on the scene. Perhaps that is the point that Paul was making. That we the church will be out of here first, and then the lawless one will come on the scene. I think there is a problem of semantics here.

        Tribulation believers. Who else could it be?

    • robinlinaz's avatar robinlinaz says:

      I totally agree, Macron can’t be him. Macron is not universally adored, he is NOT that smart (the AC is the most brilliant human being, exclusive to our Lord by which the AC is in no way worthy to be compared) to walk the earth. Whoever AC is, we haven’t met him yet. And as Christians, we won’t meet him here on earth before we accompany Jesus when He comes back and casts him into the Lake of Fire.

      • Ruth L's avatar Ruth L says:

        What’s not to say that Macron gets a “spiritual download from Satan” and therefore becomes the most brilliant human being on earth? We can’t anticipate everything that God (or Satan) will do.

      • Charles Bassett's avatar Charles Bassett says:

        Robin,

        In my opinion, the AC cannot be a politician, even though he will eventually rule the nations for a brief period. Politicians are far too polarizing (they automatically alienate about half of their constituency), their lives are open to public scrutiny (which is something the AC would not want), and they are always just one election away from losing their grip on power (which is something the AC cannot afford.)

        Also, while the AC is intelligent and clever, he is not necessarily the most brilliant person who ever lived. Instead, he is simply the most evil. And it’s exactly that—his ability to deceive people and strike unexpectedly—that enables him to succeed. At first.

        Hitler exemplified this concept. He seemed to have all the answers for a defeated Germany, and brought the country back from economic collapse and political chaos. He resurrected Germany’s military and succeeded in annexing, or conquering, neighboring territories, such as Poland and Austria. But all of those “successes” were based on Hitler’s wickedness and everyone else’s gullibility and/or unpreparedness, not on Hitler’s “superior intelligence.”

        Similarly, the AC will be intelligent and appear to solve some of the world’s problems. But his solutions will be based on lies and deception, not on higher principles or superior knowledge. Those qualities belong to Jesus Christ alone. And that is one of the reasons the AC’s “successes” will disintegrate into calamity almost as quickly as they are achieved.

    • Charles K. Bassett's avatar Charles K. Bassett says:

      Ted,

      I agree that 2 Thessalonians makes more sense if we translate “revealed” as “come on the scene” or “come to power,” not “identified.”

      Indeed, Romans1:18, 1 Peter 4:13, and 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8 verify that “revealed” (in the KJV) usually means to be “unleashed” or to “come on the scene,” as opposed to “identified.”

      Once we acknowledge this definition, all the apparent contradictions disappear, and we learn that Paul never said the Man of Sin can’t be identified today, only that he cannot come to power until the Church is out of the way.

      In turn, we can then understand why:

      * John instructed the Church — not post-Rapture believers — to decipher the 666 code (Rev. 13:18).

      * No one will recognize the AC as the AC after the Rapture, despite his being “revealed” (2 Thess. 2:11, 2 Thess. 2:9, Rev.13:3-4, 2 Cor. 4:4).

      * No Scripture corroborates the “no-one-can-know” philosophy.

      * God provided so many AC details to the Church (number, nationality, personality, religion, etc.)

      In my opinion, God wants the Church to decipher the 666 code, but it’s up to us to do the investigating. Hence, while there is no guarantee the Church will learn who the Antichrist is prior to the Rapture, the possibility does remain open.

      • Ted Bates's avatar Ted Bates says:

        I understand that the church will not know who the antichrist is because he won’t be revealed until after the church has departed. But I expect as I think you said the antichrist is likely to be here already we just don’t know who he is. But things “look” like we are on the verge of those 7 years. If that is the case then this man must be ready even now. It’s challenging to me. While I think he’s about here and that we are about to be raptured, still I need to prepare for being here for several more years. But I don’t think we the church will have any idea who he is until we are in heaven. Some translations say that “666 is humanities number” rather than a particular man. I think of 666 as representing mankind making themselves God. 7 represents perfection and completion therefore 7 represents God. Now there is 1 God in 3 person’s. Therefore 777 represents God. Man was created on the 6th creation day and is incomplete, therefore 6 represents man. There will be a false or unholy Trinity made up of Satan playing the Father, the antichrist mimicking the Son, and the false prophet mimicking the Holy Spirit. And so 666 represents man replacing God with himself. I basically interpret the number 666 as representing man or mankind replacing God with himself. These last 7 years are going to be a time when mankind is going to do it’s will instead of God’s will, and that will be a terrible mess.

      • Charles Bassett's avatar Charles Bassett says:

        Ted,

        Thanks for the kind reply.

        Just to be clear, I believe the Church CAN identify the AC today, prior to the Rapture. Nothing in Scripture says that we WILL identify him, but nothing says we CANNOT. The possibility is there, and it indeed may happen.

        In fact, I think God WANTS us to identify him so we’ll see the day approaching and be even more motivated to stay pure and witness to others.

        I believe this is why God gave the 666 code to the Church and commanded us to solve the equation, to wit: The AC’s name will equal 666 when it is spelled in Hebrew or Greek, and the correct letter-values are applied.

        It is also why God provided so many AC details in Scripture, and then told us to be on the lookout for false christs.

        I think you are very close to the truth when you say that “revealed” in 2 Thessalonians should be translated as “come on the scene,” because that word does not mean to be “identified” in that context. 2 Thessalonians therefore does not prohibit the Church from “identifying” the AC, and no other section of Scripture does.

        At least, that’s how I see it.

        Thoughts, my friend?

      • Ted Bates's avatar Ted Bates says:

        The only thought I have is that if I should know who the antichrist is and I am still here, I will tell everyone who he is and I don’t think he wants people to know because they will stay away from him. But if I am first taken out of here, I won’t destroy his cover. That’s my only scriptural reasoning for why the church must depart first. We will blow his being incognito. That’s my only thinking.

    The devil, even as powerful and intelligent as he is, does not have the ability to see the future, so I believe that he has always had an “Antichrist Candidate” waiting in the wings and ready to step into the job once the conditions were right. Perhaps the best example was Adolf Hitler.

    It is possible that we might get a hint as to the identity of “the man of sin” before the Rapture, but I am not counting on it. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 is quite clear that he will not be revealed for certain until after the Holy Spirit no longer restrains him – which the Spirit is now doing by virtue of dwelling in each believer.

    I think this restraining factor works on two levels – the first is on a spiritual one which is mostly beyond our direct perception.

    The second is in genuine believers having the discernment to recognize falsehood and to actively stand against it. We see it, for example, in parents opposing the brainwashing of their kids by “woke education” in the schools, people who refuse to accept homosexual behavior as normal, and those opposing the false “doctrines of devils” which have taken root in mainstream churches.

    This all, of course, will change once the Rapture occurs.

    Most of the human race is already being primed to accept a false messiah, lies gaining much more traction in these last of the Last Days than the truth – and if it is so accepting of deception now, imagine how much worse it’ll be after Jesus comes to take his own
    home.

We believers are the weapons that the Holy Spirit uses to restrain. If we are raptured it will be as if the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way. He would be like a police officer without a gun.

    • Charles Bassett's avatar Charles Bassett says:

      Ed,

      Your comments are very thoughtful. No one can deny that mankind, in general, is ready to receive the AC. Every time I think that society can’t get any worse, it does. May God open the eyes of all people before it’s too late. We are indeed very close to the Tribulation.

      On the other hand, regarding the “multiple AC” theory, I’m not so sure that Satan has been grooming dozens of AC hopefuls over the last 2000 years. Some of my questions to the experts who propose this idea would include:

      * Did all of these people have names that add to 666?

      * Did all of them fulfill the other requirements of the AC (namely, his religion, his blasphemous name, his profession, his nationality, etc.)?

      * Did Jesus, John, or Paul (or any other prophet) actually state this theory?

      * And what about the fact that Revelation 13 portrays Satan waiting in one place, for one person, to arise just once—not conducting a search all over the earth and enrolling people in AC prep school?

      I have a suspicion that some expert came up with this theory to keep the “no one can know who the AC is” theory intact, because if Satan can’t know, then we certainly can’t. But if we simply remember that Scripture does not prohibit us from identifying the AC, then this theory becomes unnecessary, and all the questions above are easily resolved.

      Thoughts?

        Hi, Charles.

        As I said, I do believe that since Satan lacks the ability to know the future, that he always makes sure someone was and is in the wings, waiting to step onto the world stage. It’s like my having a generator, ready to go if the power goes off. I can’t tell if and when it will, but I’m ready for if it does. As for multiple antichrists, I think these passages bear this out:

        Matthew {24:5} For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. [Jesus is the speaker.]

        Matthew {24:23} Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not. {24:24} For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. [Again, Jesus is the speaker.]

        1 John {2:18} Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

        I don’t think any have or will fulfill all the characteristics – until the final one, but it looks to me like Satan has been running his “Antichrist Boot Camp” for a very long time!

        Next, about 666. That’s a big mystery to me, further complicated by the fact that in Greek, the language in which the New Testament was originally written, letters are used to represent numbers. Could it also be significant in binary in this computer age? Lots of possibilities here, way above my pay scale. It may be that only those who will become Tribulation saints will be able to figure this one out.

        Finally, if we ever get to know who the “man of sin” will be is up for debate, and I don’t think it is that important because when he does finally come to power, we’ll be long-gone!

        Thanks for your very interesting thoughts and inquiries. I’ve enjoyed them.

      • Charles Bassett's avatar Charles Bassett says:

        Hi Ed,

        Some very interesting points! So let me bounce these ideas off your noggin and get your analysis:

        * The quotes from Matthew 24 describe conditions that Jesus said would exist only after 1948, when the “fig tree” rebloomed. So those verses fail to support the “multiple candidate” theory for the first 1900 years of Church history.

        * The quote from 1 John is talking about false brethren who have left the Church and now work against Christ. I would agree that such people are undoubtedly under the influence of Satan, and there have been a lot of them, but nothing in the passage says that Satan has been recruiting and training these people to become the AC. I think that’s an assumption (and a pretty big one, at that.)

        * Finally, we still have to square the “multiple candidate” theory with Revelation 13, which pictures Satan standing on a beach waiting for one beast, at one moment, in one place, just once. The “multiple candidate” theory, on the other hand, says that Satan has been roaming all over the earth, recruiting dozens of people for two thousand years, and then discarding them each time the Tribulation fails to begin. I just don’t see that scenario in the text.

        From my point of view, although the enemy has never known exactly when the last days would begin, he knew they couldn’t begin until Israel came back as a nation. Therefore, he did not need to groom a line of AC candidates for 1900 years. Instead, he simply had to wait for Israel to return as a nation, and for heaven’s permission to sire a son. (From what I see, Genesis 3:15 all but guarantees the AC will be Satan’s biological offspring.)

        Consequently, Satan WILL know who the AC is well before the Rapture takes place—and that means the idea that “no one can know who the AC is today” is false.

        Thoughts?

        Hello again, Charles.

        “The quotes from Matthew 24 describe conditions that Jesus said would exist only after 1948, when the “fig tree” rebloomed.”

        In response I’ll just say that the destruction of the temple occurred less than 40 years after Jesus said it would happen 70 A.D.), just as he described and many of the trends Jesus mentioned have been progressively increasing (like birth pangs) ever since the Olivet Discourse

        The appearance of deceivers started almost immediately after that first Pentecost Acts 2). Actually, I think the reason many of the epistles were written was to counter false doctrine and those purveying them..

        As for multiple antichrists, I still think the verses I quoted before support the position I made before. Like my generator scenario, I think Satan has been always ready to make his move and finally gets his chance, post-Rapture.

        I have no problem if we look at these particular things differently and am glad to see different viewpoints because they make me do my homework.

        Where I am inflexible is when it comes to the fundamental of salvation: Jesus and him alone!

        Agreed—Jesus is our only salvation, and he is coming very soon.

        Enjoyed the conversation!

    I guess I need to study it some but I am uncertain how much worship of the AC will be voluntary. If he a beloved figure our a tyrant? Seems to me the AC will be a tyrant as the Bible says of his kingdom: “The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.” That is tyranny. I’m sure SOME will worship the AC voluntarily, but much will be forced seems to me. I don’t necessarily believe Macron is the AC though many things about him certainly qualify him, but actually, his tyrannical tendencies may qualify him more than anything…

    • Ed Wood's avatar Ed Wood says:

      If we look at Germany after World War 1, it was decimated economically and militarily. We can see in Germany’s case, how how a normally rational and intelligent populace will willingly give up their freedom to anyone who can supply answers if they are in a desperate situation, even if the ” answer man” is completely wicked.

      Likewise, In the United states, most people willingly accepted the Patriot Act after 9-11 in which they were willing to give up some of their freedoms.

      They also, for the most part, unquestioningly rolled over for the Covid restrictions and took essentially untested “vaccines” which they would have never done under normal circumstances.

      So, when Rob Emmanuel said not to let a crisis got to waste, because it gives you the chance to do things you didn’t think you could do before, you can see that he was absolutely correct!

      Trudeau is even worse in my estimate but it seems the citizens strongly dislike him. When these leaders dont seem to care what the citizens want it kind of tells me that they don’t plan on being taken out of power.

      • Rob C.'s avatar Rob C. says:

        I was going to mention Trudeu but did not since he is not an AC candidate by nationality… BUT he, like Macron, went through Schwab’s training for global leaders and he most definitely behaves like a tyrant. Some would put it he is a “type” of AC.

      • Ed Wood's avatar Ed Wood says:

        I think part of the reason guys like this stay in office is either the apathy of the citizens, or that they have acquired “reprobate minds.”
