Part 2:
As an example, I’m sure you are just as amused by the people who come up with mathematical equations and numerology to show how Ronald Wilson Regan was the Antichrist because the letters of his name add up to 666 when you apply Hebrew numerology to his English name. People have done this for years. Their math does add up, but it’s primarily because that is the result they went looking for in the first place. Remember the guy in the 80’s with is book “88 Reasons Why Christ Will Return in 1988”? The next year he had 89 reasons for that year and 90 the next.
The root problem and reason for failed interpretations of prophecy over and over and over is one of self centeredness. People are so self-absorbed that they think the whole world, past, present, and future, literally revolves around their culture. I’m sorry, but that is just not how it is.
Quoting: ResisterYou know absolutely nothing of our backgrounds, races, religions or nationalities. We do however believe that people are “self- absorbed” and think they understand Christ’s message.
Maybe you are not “self-absorbed” and maybe you would “turn the other cheek” if someone tried to invade your home.
39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Matthew 6)
Maybe you would never send your sons into battle, even if some foreigner attacked your beloved Tennessee; but you are the only one that can look into your own heart and answer these questions.
You, yourself have agreed that there are multiple “players” in Daniel and in Revelation, yet you seem quite confident that none of them have come and gone.
Your logic implies that because Reagan does not appear to have been one of the “anti-Christs”, then no future (or past) president could be.
You are implying that Satan will be much more obvious in how he takes control. You are implying that the US and all of the Americas are somehow exempt from the end-time activities.
We may be wrong- but we may be right; and you have not offered solid scriptural evidence to make any of your points.
