When I see things like this, I can't help but think the restraints are being gradually released and that the antiChrist and his "Beast" system aren't far off.

Revelation 13:20 esv
So that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.









I believe that the following verse from the apostle Paul is describing the Holy Spirit restraining Satan until the last days, which I believe we are approaching, based on what I'm seeing going on in the world.

2 Thessalonians 2:6-7
And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.

Welcome to "GRRR! TRANSGENDERS!", this generation's moral panic that is surely a sign of the end of the world!

You may remember previous panics such as Muslims, gays, illegal immigrants, Dungeons and Dragons, rock music, black people, REEFER MADNESS!, and of course our old favorite "LOOK AT ALL THESE WITCHES!" Join us and follow in the millennia old tradition of being convinced that the end of the world is imminent and, while you're at it, consider sending all of your money to the people fanning the flames of your fears. I'm sure that will help.

My guess is that it will be a leader who claims to want what the moral majority wants, but outright states that he doesn't need forgiveness from God. Oh wait....Just kidding. I thought it could be Trump but apparently the number on his head just says '665.9'.

Ain't skeered. God is in control.

Read Romans 1. People and human nature never change.

I don't think the OP is implying the spike and acceptance of widespread sexual deviance is causing the end of the world as much as you might think. Doc has correctly referenced Romans 1. God has already given much of today's culture over to a reprobate mind, so we are simply witnessing what happens to a society that's been given over to their own desires with a seared conscience.

If by that you mean in a few years Christian conservatives will have forgotten all about their panic about drag queens and moved on to the next new fad to be outraged and terrified over then I completely agree.

Most of the Christians I know are not panicked as they trust the Lord. It is very comforting to have a rock to rely on.

I mentioned Romans 1 because there will always be something new in the world that is perplexing to God fearing people.

But God wins in the end.

Sorry, I thought it was more obvious by the context that when I used the word "panic" it was referring to the idea of a "moral panic". And I absolutely think the current fearmongering about transgender people fits well within that definition.

Furthermore, I'd posit that most people caught up in a moral panic are incapable of realizing that fact until after it has passed. In the moment they feel perfectly justified calling for the witches to burn or that we have to change our laws because America is in real danger from shariah law or we have to ban a game because it's teaching kids to summon demons or whatever.

With all due respect, I do not see that with my Christian friends. All that stuff is worldly stuff. If you read Romans 1 and Ecclesiastes it is true there is nothing new under the sun,

As I said, we know God is in control and we will spend eternity with Him. It is very comforting to have a deep relationship with Jesus,

I think most Christians are far more interested in all that "worldy stuff" then you seem to be implying they are.

Are Christians calling for homosexuals to be murdered?

Human history is full to the absolute brim with war, torture, genocide, slavery, and more brutal tribalism than any of us have or will ever witness. . . . We have relatively less of that today than in most parts of human history. . . . But the gays!! OMG! Clearly the end of days!

This is why Christians are accused of caring more about sexual sins than other sins.

The Holocaust was bad. . . . but a topless person at the White House???? Clearly the anti-Christ is close.

It's not important to my argument whether they are or aren't so I'm not really sure why you ask.

And while I'm sure no true Scotsman would do such a thing, yes even in America there are self professed Christians who call for the death of homosexuals on religious grounds.

I love the arrogance which assumes the morals of today are so much worse than the past. Jim Crow and lynchings approved by wide swaths of "polite" society? Not a sign of the end times. Slavery where torture, rape, and murder are state-sanctioned and supported? Nope. Transgender people are clearly more evil. The early modern era where hundreds of thousands of civilians are brutally murdered in wars of religion? Nah, it's the gays that are bringing about Revelation.

Yes, when in American history have people created a system where those who are different were not allowed to do business? That would be awful and a clear sign that the apocalypse is starting.

You're trying to say the apocalypse is coming because of such a system. The idea that such a system is coming is absurd, but beyond that, if it is a sign of the apocalypse, why didn't the world end during Jim Crow?

No. You're selective about what is and isn't an outrage worthy of the end of the world. Shockingly, the outrages seem to conform to your personal beliefs.

I don't like making blanket statements because it's the exceptions that are where most differences lay. For instance, a small but significant number of children are born as intersex and display both male and female characteristics. Sex assignment surgery for intersex kids is relatively common in those cases. I don't oppose that. And from everything I've read the idea that trans minors are being allowed to have elective gender reassignment surgery is a myth. It just isn't happening in this country. And I'm fine with that too.

He brings up a really good point. Limitations of the free enterprise system generally aren't a sign that the Antichrist is coming to town.

I think there's a strong case that the antichrist was Nero. The oldest copy of Revelation refers to the number of the beast as 616. Using gematria, which was popular at that time, this translated to the Latin transliteration of the Greek spelling of Nero Caesar. Later manuscripts used 666, which, using gematria, is the standard Hebrew spelling for Nero Caesar.

The below are good explanations for other prophesies in Revelation. Unfortunately I think the left behind series did more harm than good in terms of eschatology.

Nero doesn't fit as "the antichrist"

2 Thessalonians 2: 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.


Whoever "the antichrist" is will come from within the Church. That's the reason the consensus thought it was the Pope during the time of the Reformation.

However, if the discussion is about the multitude of antichrists that John discusses:

1 John 2:18 Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come.

Then sure, Nero fits, Saul fits, Peter fits, if you get down to it, we all fit because we've all done things "against God."

Daniel 9:27

In the midst (3.5 years) of the final
7 year period, the anti-Christ will desolate the temple and at that time he will be revealed. At that point, the great tribulation begins for the final 3.5 years of the final 7 years prophesied by Daniel.

Immediately after the great tribulation, the sun & the moon go dark Matthew 24:29, Mark 13:24, and Luke 21:25, and those who are saved meet Jesus in the clouds (the rapture). This is called The Day of Christ, not to be confused with The Day of the Lord, which is the period in which God delivers his wrath on those non-believers who remain on earth.

This is a common misconception. It comes from the Popes being misquoted. It was in reference to how they prefer their pizza, and the majority have been anti-crust.

Where exactly in scripture do you glean that the last/final Antichrist will come from within the Church? To be the antichrist and fit the only 4 scriptures that specifically mention the antichrist merely states that they do not confess that Jesus is The Christ/God and denies his coming in the flesh.
The old tire idea that it was the Pope was born solely out of the reformation and the need for Protestants to have some big emphasis to draw people to them and away from the Church and provide comfort that they made the right decision to split from Christ's Church. It has zero basis in scripture or reality. Besides, the Popes, throughout history and despite their human mistakes have always confessed the divinity of Jesus. The bible doesn't say the Antichrist will publicly profess their faith but secretly not really believe it. The whole point is that they will publicly lead people away from faith in Christ.

Peter does not fit the description of the Antichrist. John 4 gives practical tests.

He was dishonest about me allegedly proclaiming that the "apocalypse" is about to occur due to the corporate social credit score system otherwise known as ESG.

In any event, with today's technology, it's possible, for the first time in human history, to track and control every person's ability to buy and sell. It has not yet been implemented, but the technology is definitely there to do it. And ESG is definitely a sign that such a system is coming. When? I don't know.

With all due respect,
Why do you say "all due respect" to a guy that gives none? Remember, Jesus commanded us not to share our pearls with pigs.

Homosexuality is unique among other sins in that it is celebrated and advocated by virtually the entirety of the western world. Christians are also very outspoken about the egregious sin of abortion. If secularists weren't ramming homosexuality down our collective throats there would be much less said about it. When secularists begin celebrating and advocating for murder, we'll speak out against that too.
