The end times bible prophecies are a complex and controversial topic that many people have different opinions and interpretations about. However, some common themes and signs can be identified from the scriptures that may point to the identity and appearance of the Antichrist. The Antichrist is a person or a power that will oppose God and deceive many people in the last days. He will claim to be God or a messiah, and he will perform miracles and wonders to deceive the masses. He will also make a covenant with many nations for seven years, but he will break it in the middle of the week (Daniel 9:27). This covenant may involve the restoration of the temple in Jerusalem and the resumption of sacrifices, which the Antichrist will later stop and defile. The Antichrist will also wage war against the saints and try to change times and laws (Daniel 7:25). He will exalt himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, and he will sit in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God (2 Thessalonians 2:4).
Many speculations and theories have been made about who the Antichrist is or will be, but the bible does not give us a clear name or description. Some have suggested that he will be a political leader, a religious leader, a false prophet, a charismatic figure, or even a system or an organisation. Some have also tried to identify him by using numerical codes, such as 666 or 616, which are said to be the number of his name (Revelation 13:18). However, these methods are not reliable or conclusive, and they may lead to confusion or false accusations. The bible warns us not to be deceived by anyone who claims to be Christ or who performs signs and wonders (Matthew 24:23-24). The bible also tells us that we will know the Antichrist by his fruits, by his actions, and by his rejection of the true Christ (1 John 2:18-23).
Therefore, we cannot say for sure who the Antichrist is or when he will come to the fore. We can only watch and pray, and be ready for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will destroy the Antichrist with the breath of his mouth and with the brightness of his coming (2 Thessalonians 2:8). We can also study the bible prophecies carefully and compare them with the current events, but we should not be dogmatic or divisive about our views. We should also not be fearful or anxious, but rather trust in God's sovereignty and grace. He will protect his people and deliver them from the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:3). He will also fulfil his promises and establish his kingdom of righteousness and peace on earth (Revelation 21:1-4).
I know that I am in the final stage of my life, as I have exceeded the biblical lifespan of seventy years that God granted to his people. I don't expect to live much longer, maybe another decade at most. I often feel sleepy and weary during the day. I have enjoyed my life, but I am aware that my days are numbered. The younger generation sometimes disrespect me and call me an old bastard. I will probably miss the end times prophecy, when the Antichrist will reign and force people to take his mark. I will not witness him sitting in the holy place and claiming to be God. My earthly life is almost over and I have no regrets. When I am gone I will have left behind all the troubles and temptations that plagued me in this world. I will have entered into a state of bliss and peace that surpasses all understanding. I will be sitting in paradise, enjoying eternity with God and his angels. I will have no desire to return to this earth, where there is so much pain and suffering. I will be content and fulfilled in my heavenly home.
No body is ever really missed once they have died. There is the initial compassion and empathy but when the grieving process is all over and the funeral has been gotten out of the way the majority will be forgotten about as though they never even existed in the first place
Some may even be excited when certain individuals die because they can anticipate receiving the estate of the deceased. The money I received when my younger brother passed away a few years ago was nice but it is still not a substitute or a replacement for the dead person. I would have rather had my brother alive any day instead of his money.
We may think that the end times are far away from us, but we should not be complacent about the state of the world. Even if we are old and may not live to witness the final events, we still have a responsibility to care for the earth and its people. We should not ignore the signs of the times, such as wars, famines, natural disasters, and moral decay. These are indicators that God's judgement is coming and that we need to repent and prepare for His return. We should also share the gospel with others, especially the younger generations, who will face more challenges and tribulations in the future. We should not be pessimistic or hopeless, but rather hopeful and faithful, knowing that God is in control and that He has a plan for His people. We should live each day as if it were our last, and look forward to the glorious day when we will see our Savior face to face.
Blessings
