Who is the Antichrist. Well, I believe there are three possible candidates and once I presented all the evidence before you, I'm going to tell you, which of these, I believe the Antichrist really is. Number one, Caesar Nero. Now this is going to blow you away. The Bible says, here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits there are also seven Kings. Five have fallen. One is, and the other Other has not yet come and when he comes,
he must continue a short time. The Beast that was and is not is himself. Also, the eighth and is of the seven and is going to Perdition. So let's break this down. John was given a revelation by God and he saw seven Kings seven rulers, who would sit on the seven mountains or the Seven Hills in other translations. Now. Guess how many Hills there are in Rome, the southern so, who are these? Seven Kings. Well, at the time that John was writing Revelation.
There had been Savin Emperors of Rome. So who were these a? Well, there was Julius Caesar who was Caesar's Augustus, there was Tiberius. There was Caligula, Claudius, Caesar Nero, and the wisdom eat chicken. And what does John say will happen to? These seven Kings will he says, five of them have fallen, meaning five will die on naturally. One is. So at the time that John is right in this, there is one who is still alive and one we can only conclude died.
Naturally. And then it says, there is one out of the original, Surfin will come back, and he will be the eighth who is going to be the Beast, which is another name for the Antichrist. Now, here's where it gets very crazy. The first emperor of Rome Julius, Caesar was killed the second, a Caesar, Augustus died
in old age naturally. The third emperor of Rome Tiberius was poisoned the fourth Caligula was stabbed to death, the fifth Claude. It was also poisoned and then the six number six, the six emperor of Rome Caesar Nero committed, the age 31 awaiting, the death sentence in jail and their number seven, Dominican was alive. When John was writing Revelation, isn't that interesting? Isn't that very interesting here? We have five Emperors who have fallen one who is, who still alive right now?
And one who died naturally. But the prophecy which John wrote down Damn, was this one out of the original Seven? Who is not, who is already dead, would come back and he would be the Antichrist, the Beast. So where did I get Nero from? Well, in the book of Acts, we actually read that the Apostle Paul appealed to a Caesar who is this? Caesar, it was Caesar Nero and you know the Apostle Paul as well as I do, what was his one passion in life? He had to preach the gospel woe to me.
If I do not preach the gospel, Paul. Said, and I believe that when the Apostle Paul met season Arrow, he would have preached Christ, the cross and the Risen Savior. And one theory is this season Nero for a period of time was a very successful ruler and then his mind sort of unhinged. He went insane.
And some people believe that after he met the Apostle Paul, that was the thing that sends him insane after you rejected the gospel, something spiritual happened to his soul and it sends him on the wrong Tracks of Life. But do you agree with that theory or not? There's one thing you've got to admit to me and it's this Nero was one of the most evil man who ever walked on the face of this Earth and he did some very Antichrist kind of things.
You know, he had his own wife murdered in fact, two of his wives murdered and his own mother, murdered Nero was obsessed with his popularity. He was popular at the time, people loved him and he loved Greek tradition. This idea that you can be your own God and your worship, did, you know this? Euro was the Forerunner to persecuting Christians, he had Christians Torn to Pieces by dogs, they were burnt alive. Some of them were even crucified like our savior and Nero had relations.
Did Wicked things that are too, shameful for me to speak about publicly. But perhaps most suspects of all, is this in the Hebrew language? Every single letter is given a number. And if you add up the numbers of Nero's, name, guess what? Number adds up to 666, the mark of the beast. Now, before we get too excited, if you add up the letters of Barney, the dinosaur that also equals 666 and also the Book of Revelation was written in Greek, not Hebrew.
But let's not forget, that Hebrew was the original language of God's people, the people of Israel. So, over to you, do you think that Caesar Nero is the Antichrist? Will in a moment's time? I'm going to tell You who I believe the Antichrist really is another name for the Antichrist, is Son Of Destruction. And if there's one man who brought utter destruction to Earth, it was a Dolph Hitler. The Bible says, he shall speak pompous words against the most high shall persecute.
The Saints of the most high and intend to change times. And laws, then the Saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half. Half a time what we know about the Antichrist is he is going to slaughter many of God's people
during the tribulation. So when all those millions of Jews and all of those Christians were put to death in the Holocaust. I can imagine many people wondered is Hitler the Antichrist and not only this, just like the Antichrist forces, his Mark upon the world. So Hitler force the Jews to wear a mark on themselves during his Reign but perhaps the strongest piece of evidence It's of all, is this Hitler had one goal in life. He wanted to take over the whole world, he wanted world
domination. And what does the Bible say about the Antichrist? The fourth Beast shall be a fourth Kingdom on Earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms and shall Devour the whole earth. Trampled, it and break it in pieces. The Antichrist is going to set up the greatest Empire. Sure that this world has ever seen. He will dominate the whole world but he won't do it by his own
power. The Bible tells us he'll be in dwelt by the spirit of Satan. And Satan was cast out of Heaven because he wanted to be worshipped. He wanted to raise himself exalt himself above the most high guards and that is the reason why the Antichrist will want to be worshipped because he has the power of Satan operating through him. But this Kingdom It will seem utterly impossible, which will devour the whole world and will think no one can stop it. When the Lord Jesus Christ,
appears the scriptures. Tell us that he will slay. The Antichrist with the breath of his mouth but hey now let's just stop there for a minute and let's not forget this Hitler did not achieve Global power. He did not achieve total world domination but the Antichrist will. Another reason that should make as a little bit skeptical, is this The Jews hated Hitler and for very good reasons.
But when we read the scriptures, we see that the Jews will love the Antichrist will see him as a sort of Messiah as a sort of Savior for them. Jesus said, I have come in my father's name and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name him, you will receive as, you know, Jesus was a Jew but the Jewish people rejected him.
They At that Messiah, he came to his own, but his own did not receive him, but one thing we know and it's this, the Jewish people will not reject the Antichrist, they'll receive him, and they'll welcome him. And in a moment I'm going to tell you just why that is, but first I want to hear from you. Do you think that a Dolph Hitler could be the Antichrist? Well, before I tell you the answer, let's hear who the third Antichrist. Might be number three, a famous
celebrity. Let me let you into a secret. I love reading the comments from all the subscribers from all around the world. It encourages me so much. But one thing this has done is it's exposed me to different theories of who you believe the Antichrist is. Some people say it's him and then others say no it's definitely him not, maybe it could be this person know, it's him. It's him. It's him. It's him.
And the problem with all of these different ideas swirling around on the Internet is, they can't all be right there. Can only We be one and see Christ, and I could be. Toasty way off with who I believe is when I tell you the answer in a moment's time. So what are the signs? We need to look out for who this person is?
Well, we know the Antichrist is going to speak, blasphemies about God, he's going to be a blasphemer of the Lord Jesus Christ. We know that he is going to perform miraculous signs, which is going to woo. The whole world into following him, we know that the Antichrist is going to be a great communicator. He's going to be the The finest public speaker and he's going to be full of confidence. And we also know that the Antichrist will not be attracted to women.
The Bible says he shall regard. Neither the god of his father's nor the desire of women. And perhaps the most revealing sign of all is during the seven-year tribulation, the Antichrist will do something. No man has ever achieved. He'll bring peace to Jerusalem. He will restore the Simple and make a covenant, a promise to the people of Israel. And just when the Jewish people believe that he is their Messiah, they believe that they are Safe in His Hands. The Antichrist will turn on them.
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering in the temple. He shall persecute the Saints of the most high and worst of all, he will take his seat in the temple of God proclaiming himself to be God, Jesus Christ, warned, as of this in Matthew 24. When he spoke of the abomination of desolation. So really, until the Antichrist Rises to power until he brings peace to the Middle East and everyone starts worshipping him, ultimately, we won't really know who he is until that day comes.
So we can have all of these ideas, but at the end of the day, they're just opinions. And as Christians were not called to base our lives. On opinions were called to Route our lives in scripture. But That being said, if you really push me in a corner and you really pressed me and said, Joe, who do you think the Antichrist is? I probably say to you, I believe it will be someone like Nero
someone like number one or dare. I say someone operating In The Same Spirit as Nero and again I want to reiterate this to you. I am not a Bible scholar. I am just your average Joe and this is just my opinion and I could be totally way off about this. This but personally, I do find it. Fascinating, how in Revelation 17? It says, about this person that he was meaning, he was once alive, but now he is not. But someone from this original Seven will become the eighth.
The eighth King, and he will be the Antichrist, who will rule the world. But I will say this, the word Antichrist means in the place off, meaning taking the place of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the most urgent. Jean, you need to ask yourself is not who is the Antichrist, but who is the Antichrist in your life? What is taking the place of Jesus Christ?
Is the something that is raining in your life where Christ should be raining because only the Lord Jesus Christ has the right to sit in the Throne of your life and maybe you worship, or you're obsessed with another person. Yesterday, I was preaching on the streets and I met a man who said I am God. So I asked his Girlfriend, is he God? And she said, yes, he's God. There are many people who worship their boyfriend or their girlfriend and friends.
That is a total sin. Maybe you're worshipping a sin, maybe you keep returning over and over against this same sin or maybe you worship a dream, an idea that you will one day become famous and popular and you will exalt yourself above everyone. Franz if that is you again, repent, and turn from that sin. If you have not yet, put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. You must do it now because as we look out at the world, we've got to say, things are changing
very, very quickly. And when the Lord Jesus Christ, returns when the one who conquered the grave comes back, you want to make sure you're on the winning side. You don't want to be on the side with the Antichrist. Satan, the Beast, the false prophet. No, you want to be on the side of the Lord Jesus Christ and there are only two types of people who get into heaven.
Fake people and forgiving people and unless you're perfect, you need the Lord Jesus Christ. Because on the cross, the wonderful savior took in his body are lies are blasphemy our pride, our filthiness are lost all of it and he was crucified there. So you can be forgiven and have a home in heaven. So, I plead with you today. Receive the savior of the world and know that your sins could be forgiven, you could be washed whiter than snow, and you have eternal life in the most powerful way.
Do when he returns he will puff. He'll just blow his breath and he will slay, the Antichrist in all the powers of Darkness. That's the man you want to follow Jesus Christ. Now I know exactly what some of you are thinking. You're thinking Joe, you've missed one very crucial, sign of who the Antichrist is. You've not talks about the mark
of the beast. Well, that's because I made a full video all about what I believe the mark of the beast is. Please click here if you've not watched it. Already. And if you haven't yet subscribed, please do we'd love to see you again. God bless you all. And thank you for watching.
