Who does God want the Antichrist to be?

That's cute and all that you're acting like God doesn't want the Antichrist to reign, but God could stop him at anytime...God could prevent him from doing what he does, God could enlighten him to know what else He should be doing. God could stop being silent.

The Antichrist rises to power, and where is God trying to stop him? What is God doing to try and stop him?

What is God doing to enlighten him?
probably nothing to enlighten him.

well I guess if you dualistically play with a double edge "sword" .. And think it's duality only you might get cut on both sides.
But that might not be true.
Oh wait, I think God is perfect so.
That doesn't mean I don't expect good either.
People fight civil battles in their mind even though we know God would have to do something and be perfect to change that.

So there is so much end-time hysteria and talk about some false prophet who will rule the world.

Is the Antichrist called to be a good guy or a bad guy? Do you honestly think God wants him to be something other than what prophecy States he will be?

If he's just being what God wants him to be, God clearly wants him to have followers, so what's wrong with following Him?

It's not about who God *wants* the Antichrist to be, but it's about who the Antichrist is.

And he is Donald J. Trump.

The book of Daniel tells us that the Antichrist will be a ruler from the west who will control the world economy, make a seven-year treaty with Israel, and later betray Israel causing a calamitous apocalyptic war originating in the middle east. You know, blood so deep it rises to horse's hips.

Hold on to your hats, folks. Gonna be a nasty, bumpy ride that we are only beginning.
 
@Janet Waters I do not believe Satan is a creature so a person masquerading as a sheep can't be Satan.


And I am having difficulty with understanding your reasoning. The term---Creature can be understood either literally or figuratively (so it is not the best term to use). Satan is a spirit having no physical body. Mortals are dualistic in nature having both a spirit and a mortal body combined.

1. Satan is the true Anti-Christ.
2. Satan inspires men to be anti-christ in nature.
3. There is a predestined and prophesied ROLE that an individual can play (which is also inspired by Satan to accomplish his bidding).

One use is a personal pronoun the other used as an adjective.

Do you think Satan is a spirit person?

Sounds more like ObamaNation than Trump.

All spirits are created from eternal element which is much finer than earthly element. Spirits can be seen by spiritual eyes not by physical eyes. And seeing that we as mortals are dualistic in nature (having both a spirit and physical body)----we CAN see intangible spirits. If we have developed our "spiritual gifts" it allows us to see that which remains "unseen" to others.

So where did the real civil matters become the only thing... Because I believe and know we had something first that didn't just evolve into civil matters.
So people preached love yet something didn't go very lovingly enough..
Oh ..
1. the enemy of my enemy is my friend and 2. love others as I have loved you or as thy self.
So civil disputes take up that good stuff.
ugh.....
So for example my government provides social security for the elderly, yours doesn't, because you don't have that does that make you an enemy, no not really you'd have to fill my head with that, or visa versa. Now what happens if theirs wont do it, should I try to do it anyway for them? What if then I'm satan because that's what they said what if they blame me because for some reason they say their hands are tied and they just wont do it??.. What if they convinced them that I'm selfish and prideful? What if facts are left out.

Yes God COULD stop the Anti-Christ at any point.....just like He COULD stop us from committing crimes or doing that which is bad. But He is not going to do this. He allows us the Agency to choose what we want to do. We can't be blessed if we didn't have the ability make both good (or bad) choices. We also shouldn't be condemned until AFTER we have broken eternal laws as well. We came here to be tested and tried to see what we would do in all kinds of situations.

Not to acknowledge this is to miss the whole Plan of Salvation---that in the day God created mankind.....he gave us the AGENCY to choose. In the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit----humanity (through Adam) received the Knowledge to know the difference between Good and Evil.

We had to leave heaven in order to have a whole range of choices (ranging from good to evil) in order to TRULY have the opportunity to have an unfettered ability CHOOSE one or the other. If we are only allowed to choose the good.....we wouldn't have the agency to really choose at all.

Mortality allows us to make choices that couldn't be made in heaven....the purpose of this life is to try us and prove us FAITHFUL in order to return back to heaven. This mortality is divided up into different times which were prophesied to happen. If these things did not happen.....then the works of God would be frustrated and we would not get the testing period we needed to develop us to grow.

You don't have to say child, if that's the case you are of God's too, I don't have daddy/mommy issues and Jesus wasn't a son. He was God. LOL
