[quote:Mr Mike 33468353:MV8yMTUwNDMwXzM2MzcwODc4X0MyNjIyMkU=] O'Boy! A real Aussie from down under! Good Day to ya, Mate! My dear Friend Anyone who knows and understands scripture knows you can not interpret God's word without the Holy Spirit to guide you, in truth and all understanding. So, I wouldn't expect you to fully understand, due to your ridiculous question/statement. But for your entertainment and amusement I will try!!! Because God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, God is able to speak through the pages of the Bible in a way which his words have double and sometimes more than fulfillment. Although God may express himself to man in many different ways, His Appearance, Prophets, etc... God's words are always fulfilled down to the very last letter, and in many cases his words transcends time itself, meaning his words are endless! Perhaps this is why Jesus himself states " Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." Matt 24:35. Take for example the books of Isaiah, Daniel, and Revelations, all were written by different prophets yet each prophet speaks considerably about end-time events which did not occur during their lifetimes, and as you well know still have yet to happen perhaps in our near future. It is because of God's special unique nature, that makes him God and enables him to see past, present, future in which he can direct all things he has made, including you, me, and yes even the Devil himself. So you see friend when God speaks symbolically through his prophets that doesn't mean that there won't also be some kind of literal fulfillment of his word down the road; like wise, when God speaks literally, about something that doesn't mean that there won't be some symbolic fulfillment of his word down the road either. Take for example 2 Peter 3:8 "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Now if we are to take God literally here, its pretty clear that One of God's days equals 1000 of our years Still With me so far good, don't want to lose you! Now if the above statement is to be taken as literal as God wants us too, which we should as its pretty obvious and clear! then lets look elsewhere in the Bible to test it to be true! Lets look in the book of Genesis! Now when God warned Adam regarding the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, what did God specifically say unto Adam??? God tells Adam “In the day that you eat from it you shall surely die.” Now we know that Adam didn't actually die when he ate the fruit, because the Bible tells that Adam went on to have Cain and Able and then lived until he was 930 years Old! So what gives, Did God Lie to Adam??? Is the Bible false and filled with Lies??? No, God didn't lie and the Bible is not false, and here's why! When God warn Adam, God's warning to Adam had double meaning/fulfillment. First Adam died spiritually instantaneously the moment he ate of the forbidden fruit. Then Adam began to die physically which took another 800-900 years or so for him to finally die physically; 70 years short of 1000 years (Read 2 Peter 3:8, again!) So, God was actually correct twice in is warning to Adam, as God was not only speaking in Adams earthly timeline (A 24-hour day, Spiritual Death!) but was also speaking in his own timeline as well (Physical Death at age 930, 70 years short of 1000 years). Likewise, Why did Jesus speak about his death in Parables, when he could just as easily spoke in plain understandable language??? Because the truth was meant to be hidden until it's time of fulfillment! Jesus didn't speak symbolically in parables (which he used short stories to illustrate his point) to confuse the people around him. He did it to hide the true meaning of his death until the time of fulfillment; Then Jesus parables about his death and his literal death became one. So, was Jesus lying??? Again NO! the bible records that Jesus death happen just as he foretold in his parables describing his death. Double/Triple meaning/fulfillment, don't be surprise we use words that have double meaning all of the time, so why so we think that God who is way above us all couldn't/wouldn't do the same. So by now hopefully you can see how the bible speaks about the Beast as having seven heads where one received a deadly wound (Symbolically speaking!!!) and literal where the Anti-Christ (The Beast) receives a deadly wound to the head (literally speaking!!!) Yeah I know it's deep, and its probably hard for some of you to wrap your little head around it; but hey, you really should take a look at some of the other stuff people are posting here and else where!!! (Like Cosmic guy above!) If you are still confused, I'm truly sorry for you! Please keep re-reading this and pray on it, in order to better understand it concept and dynamics. Again G'Day to ya Mate! In any case, Praise be to God! [/quote]

The Anti-Christ is a world political figure who rises to power quickly, and is assassinated 3 1/2 years into the tribulation.
He will lie in state of mourning for 3 days before the
eyes of the world. After which he will be indwelt with Satan and rise again, and the world will marvel after the beast who received a deadly wound to the head and yet returned from the dead.
The Pope (The false Prophet) will undoubtedly somehow take part in this Satanic ritual in bringing
the Anti-Christ back form the dead.
If the pope were the Anti-Christ as some of you suggest, then how could he the (Pope/Anti-Christ) turn against and destroy himself/his church, only to survive the rest of the tribulation as the Anti-Christ???
People you need to get educated and read God's word (Yes, read your KJV Bible!) and not just the parts you
want to read. Read it until you can memorize it, that is why its valuable to you and God gave it to us. No
wonder so many people will be deceived; your already deceiving yourselves!
Anti-Christ - World Figure
Not necessarily Political, but He will fill that world role.
Pope - False Prophet
Who is destroyed by the Beast (The Anti-Christ) sometime during the Great Tribulation! and therefore can not be the
Anti-Christ as some are claiming
Satan - Is Satan, who else?
