I know…Being woke isn't fun but it's better to vomit a little and cry a little here and there than to be mindlessly drug into hell by the Great Deceiver.
God Bless you Anon
king Nebuchadnezzar who ruled the great Babylonian Empire 600 years before Christ and who built the Hanging Gardens which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Daniel chapter seven says that a beast (kingdom government or political power) with seven heads and ten horns rises out of the sea (the people)
Revelations 17-18 (anti-Christ) Arises in a city with seven hills (Rome) and rules over many waters (peoples, and multitudes, and nations and tongues)
The vast majority of you have probably heard of a supposed seven year tribulation period and a secret rapture. It should totally shock you to know that there is no scripture that specifically mentions seven years of tribulation! It simply does not exist. This was part of the Counter Reformation from the Papacy and was manufactured by the Jesuit Francisco Ribera who was responsible for the futurist view
Revelation 15 We see seven angels with the seven last plagues preparing to deal with the antichrist beast power, those that received their mark and the false prophet. We also see those that “had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name.”

Seven is used a lot in the bible re: Anti-Christ. I did not see this you posted but will read it too. Do you know the reasoning for the use of 7?
Yes…He also says that WE are God's Church, WE are the temple of God and is, in fact, directing us to move away from the churches and seek redemption within ourselves…I am so intrigued by the Bible now!
1 Corinthians 3:16 “Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
We are the temple of God now. That is the Church. Here are two more using the same Greek word;
1 Corinthians 6:19 “What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?”
Matthew 26:61 “And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.”
We know that it is not possible for Jesus to be talking about an earthly temple in the above verse. There are many other verses that could be quoted but this should be enough to see what Paul was speaking of here. Paul is a Christian Jew and knows that the temple is now the Church and if Paul were to call a rebuilt temple “the temple of God” then he would be denying what Jesus did on the cross. There is no way that someone like Paul would ever call a rebuilt temple the “temple of God” because it would never be God’s temple! Observe what Jesus says in the following verses about the temple of God.
In Matthew 21:13 Jesus expresses His anger to those for desecrating God’s temple, “And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.”
But in Matthew 23:38 Jesus now declares, “Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.”
Why would Jesus assert it will soon be their house, i.e. no longer the temple of God?
Matthew 27:51 “And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;”
Jesus ended the temple sacrifices when he became the final perfect sacrifice for us. At this point it ceased to be the temple of God as Jesus showed in Matthew 23:28. Paul received the Gospel by revelation knowledge (Galatians 1:11-12) and would never call this soon to be destroyed temple God’s. Paul would know this better than anyone. We are the temple of God now! If Paul called it God’s temple he would be declaring to God that Jesus’ work on the cross was incomplete and further sacrifices were required.
The Pope will be seated [sitteth] in a position of power in the Church “showing himself that he is God.” Remember the Pope claims to be God on earth now. All the early Church fathers and Protestants knew this and were not deceived by Ribera’s manufactured writings because they knew who he was. Yet another truth that Satan has slowly drawn from the Church over the centuries. That is how he does it, slowly and subtly.
