Biblical prophecy will play out. Those who think they are in control, will eventually find out, that (they) are not, and that God IS.
Semiramis and Tammuz. The names have changed depending on culture and location and time, but essentially the same shit. Nimrod and his wife started a history long shit show that's still playing out, the names have been changed to protect the guilty.
One possibility. In the bible, there is the false prophet. Could the false prophet be the Mahdi that the Muslims have been waiting for? What if it is? If the Mahdi shows up, and works with apostate Jews, would it then be possible to get the temple rebuilt? Wouldn't the Muslims do whatever the Mahdi says?
Who, or what, is the anti-Christ? Well, there is a spirit of anti-Christ, in essence, a resistant force to the notion of Christ. Who fits that bill more than anyone? Time after time God has spanked them, and ALWAYS there are some who actually listen to God and repent, yet, there are also many who don't listen. So you essentially have two groups. One who listens to God, and those who do their own thing. One is good, the other is not. Discernment.
The beast. The EU. Revived Roman Empire. They have been working on that for quite some time now. It apparently is going to be more of an economic empire rather than a purely political one, comprised of elements of the old Roman Empire, both east and west. Who would be their main economic rival? The US? Might that explain their attempts to weaken us, drive out businesses, destroy our money system and removing our self sufficiency? Self sufficiency, I suspect, might be their main objective because if we have to depend on them for everything, they can exert their control over us by maintaining control over production and distribution of goods. You no obey us, we no give you food, kind of thing.
Beware the EU and the power behind it.
