About who the AntiChrist is
I feel led of the Lord to say this on the subject of knowing who the Anti-Christ is.
It is a lot of fun for all of you to play that game of guessing.
But what I am about to say will anger some of you, perhaps scare a couple also. Many of you will not be happy and will gnash on me with your teeth. Some of you will object strongly for it even being posted to any of the list. But some of you will see it as God's Truth and will prepare yourselves to go in the Rapture, yet others will laugh it off and will continue to believe the lies and fairytale that is being taught now that you can miss the Rapture and still go to heaven, and so will loose out in the end. Many believe that they can know who the Anti-Christ is and still go to heaven. The Word of God tells us differently.
But this you must be told!!!!! By the Word of God that has been given to us in the Bible!!!
The day that you find out just who the Anti-Christ is, you will also know that you have missed the Rapture, and having missed the Rapture, will have your soul dammed to hell for all eternity, for the Word of God tells us that, (And I repeat this for the umpteenth time that no one listens to.) if you miss the Rapture, the doors of heaven will lock you out, So saith the Holy Word of God. And the Holy Word in the Bible also tells you that who the Anti-Christ is, will NOT, I repeat, NOT be revealed, until after the Rapture. (See postings at the end of this letter for Scriptures.)
You are free to play your guessing games, It is not forbidden to play this game, but do not take it too seriously. Do not get too carried away with the idea that you may have discovered who he is. Everyone who thought they figured out who the Anti-Christ is, has been Wrong. Do not become so distracted by this game that you neglect preparing yourself to meet the Lord God Jesus. It doesn't matter how may verses of Scripture you choose to quote, or how many Prophecies you quote, I pray that by the Grace and Mercy of God that you will not find out who the Anti-Christ is UNTIL you are in Heaven with Jesus, sitting at the wedding supper next to your Husband Jesus Christ.
What you can do with some, but not all, of what is posted here, and else ware, about the Anti-Christ, is to use it to educate many unbelievers to what is coming upon them soon. This you can do without the naming of names.
Believe what the Word of God says!!
As I have given on ProphecyLink.com before this time.
I have added underlines and Bold to emphasize parts. I will suggest that you go to each of the links listed on ProphecyLink to read the posting in it's entirety.

The Prophecy of Raymond gives warning that so very many Christians will not be ready, will be taken by surprise, as these events fall on them. So make yourself ready to go with Jesus when He calls us. For the warning in both the Prophecies, and in the Bible, are that those who are not ready will never enter heaven. For contrary to what the Churches are saying, contrary to the Left Behind Books, and the other books about the End Times, The Bible is clear that any Christian who will miss the Rapture will be locked out of heaven for all eternity. This is told to us in more than one place in the Bible. The Christians will be taken off of this earth Before the Anti-Christ is revealed, and the Anti-Christ will not be revealed until he makes a 7 year peace treaty, and this will start the seven year Great tribulation of Daniel's Prophecy.

I didn't say I agree just that it was interesting. I don't know about what you say. The bible gives us a clear sign about the beast so I don't think I can agree with you. I mean, after all, John wrote to believers and he gave us a very specific sign; a number. And it is the only real thing he gave of such a kind in the whole of Revelation. IF we weren't to know something of the beast then why would John give us something so specific?
K
Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Since this is what the Bible tells us, then how is it possible for any man to determine who the Antichrist (Beast) is, before the following happens????
2 Thes. 2:2-4; 6-8
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come , except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
The Word in the Bible tells us that the Beast, called the Antichrist, will Not be revealed until several things happen first.
This is the first condition that must be met for him to be revealed
"Only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way." And then shall that Wicked be revealed. "He that letteth" is holding him back, only allowing (or letting) the Man of Sin, the Beast, the Antichrist, to go only so far, and no farther, until the one who letteth is taken out of the way. Who is the one who letteth? That is the Holy Spirit of the Most Holy Lord God Jehovah. This is the same Holy Spirit which is given to every Christian, and this is the same Holy Spirit which Jesus said would never leave us.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
So what we have is this: As a Christian, you have the Holy Ghost, (Comforter, Spirit) in you, and the Holy Ghost will never leave you. So, when the Holy Ghost leaves this world, this Earth, (taken out of the way) we go with Him. This happens at the Rapture, and it is right after the Rapture that the Beast (Antichrist) will be revealed. This Second condition before the Beast is revealed is the Rapture, and it has not happened yet.
Therefore, I can say with perfect confidence, that according to the Bible, No one on this earth will be able to tell you the name of the Beast, until after these two conditions are met. And neither one of them has happened yet.
And I personally intend to be in that Rapture, so I don't care who he is, or what his name is. I don't want to be here on this earth to find out, for that would mean that I missed the Rapture, and anyone who misses the Rapture will be forever lost. So the Bible says.
Oh I know, that is not what the majority of people teach, they think that you, and them, can go all the way to Armageddon, and then decide to join with the Lord God. But inspite of what they teach, the Lord Says different.

That seven years cannot begin until the Antichrist signs a seven year peace treaty with Israel. And the Antichrist will not be revealed until the Holy Spirit leaves this Earth, releasing the Earth to the Antichrist who will then be revealed. The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit will never leave us, so when the Holy Spirit leaves this Earth, we go with Him. So the Rapture is also tied to the Holy Spirit leaving this earth. They happen at the same instant.

You see, while the Antichrist will not yet be revealed, it does not mean that the Antichrist will not be in control of the events taking place during this time.
Now there are one or two more points needed to be made for understanding. First, During the last week of Daniel's Prophecy, the entire world goes back under the Jewish Mosaic Law, where you will have only Jews and Gentiles, and NO Christians.
____________________
And
Second: the Book of Revelation tells us that Anyone who is NOT killed during the Trumpet Judgments will never Repent. (Chapter 9:20-21) And if there is No Repentance then there can be NO Salvation.
And the Bible has told us right along in the parable of the 10 Virgins that those who miss going in with the Bridegroom when He comes are locked out, for it tells us that the doors are closed, and the other five virgins come and pound on the door and BEG for entry but the Bridegroom tells them he will NOT open the door to them because He does not know them. The are locked out forever.

and
If you miss the Rapture, you miss everything. There are many of us to whom the Lord God had shown us this truth, and as we tell others, they refuse to believe, always pointing to some scripture and say "But what about this, or that one". Neither I, nor anyone else I know takes any offence at this, for I, and others, know that they only do it out of ignorance, because that is what they have been taught all of their lives. And it is hard to let go of some teachings. I know, for I had to let go of those same old teachings.

From S
Instead of everyone worrying about who the anti-christ is, which we don't need to know as many have already stated in this post, or what day or time these things will take place, we need to make sure that if we all died this exact instance that our slates have already been wiped clean and we have lived our lives to follow the Lord through his words and ways. That's the most important thing! Yours in Christ, S.
The Question has Always been, If I were to die right now, would I go to heaven or hell??
If you are ready, if you are truly a child of Jesus Christ, then if you were to die right now you would go to heaven, for that is the Promise of the Holy Lord God.
And if you are not a true child of Jesus Christ and if you were to die right now, you would go to Hell. There is no in-between.
So with that in mind, let us look at what happens at the Rapture.
1. The dead in Christ come out of the graves first. Hello people!!! Did you get that?? It is ONLY the Dead in Christ which rises to meet Jesus in the air at the Rapture. Those who were not of Christ are still in their graves. Note that it is these dead in Christ who are in heaven right now!!! It is Only those who had Salvation, and are in heaven right now, that will come out of the graves to join Jesus at the Rapture.
2. Those still living join the dead in Christ who came out of the graves.. It is Only those who are truly children of Jesus Christ and are still living, the ones that if they were to die right now, would go to heaven. It is only these who would go to heaven right now if they died, who will join Jesus in the air at the Rapture.
3. Now do you all have the picture?? At the Rapture, Everyone who ever lived on the earth who either went to heaven, or would ever go to heaven, has now joined with Jesus in the Air.
Everyone left behind, I say again, Everyone left behind, either in the graves, or still living on the earth, are either already in hell, or if they died right then, would go to hell. These are the ones left on the Earth. And the Bible tells us that these people who are left behind from the Rapture will never repent.
** The one exception are the Jews, the Israelites, who are under a different covenant with God, than we, the Gentiles are. And that is a point of information given to us in the Bible which so many know nothing about. Nor do they care!!
If you are a Jew, you have only to accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah. For the Jews will finish out their covenant with God the Father, which covers the last 7 years before the return of Jesus Christ to set up His Earthly Kingdom. Even so, it will only be a remnant of them, only a relative handful of them who will make it to salvation as Israelites. So the Holy Word of God the Bible tells us.

Hello Rev. Barr may God bless you,
As I read what you have wrote Im wondering why God would allow his church to be deceived from the beginning on this.
I have always been told that the bible says there will be people who are left who do not accept the mark or worship the beast, who will in the end make it to heaven.
I was taught that these people (all of them) would have to die, that they would be killed. And that the Lord would accept them for they have given up their lives.
That that is what those who missed the rapture would have to endure for salvation.
I was not taught this in a way that would ever cause someone to think, that they could do what ever they wanted, miss the rapture, then just not take the mark and go to heaven.
It was taught very seriously and makes no mistake about it you do not want to be left behind. We saw films like The Thief in the Night etc. Oh yes I do know, for I was taught much the same, both in Catholic Schools, and from the pulpit, and again later as I went through the Seminary. And since then, virtually all of the pastors teach it this way, and the books now coming out, like the "Left behind" series, and several other series all teach this same teaching.
But always remember this. Just because it is taught does not make it true. When we look at old science books, from even 100 years ago, we will see that a lot of what they taught as truth is now known to be false. When we look at old books on medicine and healing, we see that almost all of those medicines and healing practices have been thrown out, replaced. Yet at that time it was believed to be the truth, but is now recognized as being not true. I will not say a lie, for there was no intention to speak falsely, they really did believe what they wrote and taught, it is just that what they believed and taught was wrong.
Actually it is very comforting to believe what is taught today about the Rapture and the missing of the Rapture. For this belief allows one to drift without committing themselves until they see it happen, then to believe that they can still make it to heaven, in spite of having thumbed their nose at God, believing that what they have been taught, that God is such a Loving God that God would never send any one to hell if they finally said "Lord I want to go to heaven". And that belief my child, for many, but not all, is known as being turned over to a Reprobate Mind by God, to believe the lie. (Rom. 1:28 )
Its not that its so hard to give up old teachings, its are they accurate interpretations/teachings.
Only God can give you the correct interpretation to anything in the Bible. Man will always get it wrong.
Now as for the coming to this knowledge that no one after the Rapture will go to heaven, coming at such a late date. This knowledge has been in the Bible for several thousand years, so it most definitely not something new. It has been ignored, it has been deliberately pushed aside, It has been mis interpreted by those who told themselves that it just could not be that way because their pastor said ---, and it has been rejected by many because they just did not want to believe.
I am sure that you have heard many sermons over the years about the 10 Virgins, but when have you ever heard any pastor preach on the closing verses of that parable?? Those last couple of verses are what that parable is all about. It is what that parable is there to warn us of. "Those who were not ready were locked out, were they not?? No, this teaching is not new, and is not brought out only at this late date. It has been there right along for anyone to read of and believe.
Im having a little trouble with why, and why now, at this late date, are we coming to this knowledge that no one after the rapture will ever go to heaven. That is an excellent thought. Yes it is! Just how accurate are the interpretations that every one is giving?? How do you know if their interpretation is right or wrong?? Before starting, take everything that you have been taught about what the Bible says, and throw it away, for almost all of it is wrong Then: First you go read the Bible for yourself. Starting on the first page and not stopping until you finish the last page. Straight through, no jumping around, no skipping, not even skipping over the boring list of names. Second, every time you pick up the Bible and start reading, first ask the Lord God to make know to you the Truth of His Word. Third, take all that you read literal, unless by the text itself you see that it is not.
What about the Jews, first they follow the antichrist, then their eyes are opened, they are hidden away (God has a place for them) they escape the persecution.
Next, what is ignored by virtually everyone is that the Jews have a separate Covenant with God, than the Gentiles have. The Covenant with the Gentiles will come to an end at the time of the Rapture. But the Covenant with the Jews will last for all Eternity, for so the Lord God has swore to on Himself. Psa. 89:35-37; Hosea 2:19; Jer. 31:32; Ezek 16:60; Isa. 66:20-22; and we must not forget Hosea 2:16, for this verse is passed over by many because they do not understand two of the words in this verse. But these two words are recognized by many as being two words which were never translated when written into the English Bibles, both the KJV and the English Bible which went before the KJV. These two word are what they call transliterated, that means that the Hebrew was only placed into the English for pronunciation only. These two words are "Ishi" which when translated means "Husband", and the word "Baali" which when translated means "My Lord". So this verse of Hosea 2:16 is the Holy Lord God speaking to the Jews, and says to them "And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Husband, and shall call me no more My Lord."
So you see, we who are of the Gentiles will be the Faithful Virgin Bride of Jesus Christ. But the Jews are the chosen of God the Father, and are the Unfaithful Wife of God the Father, who will one day turn and remain faithful to Him for all Eternity, never whoring after other gods again.
Now can you see why and how the Jews will be treated differently than us?? Yes they will go to heaven, but no, they will not be part of the Bride of Christ. The Jews will be forever with the Father, and we, as the Bride will be forever with Jesus. Two separate bodies.
They are not damned; they eventually go to heaven. Oh yes, the Jews. Everyone wants to point out the Jews who will go to heaven after the Rapture has taken place. But not one of them cares to find out Why!! So let us examine that for you. Yes God has a place for "Some" of them, and the Bible tells us in plain words that it will only be "some of them" who will go to the place of safety. That almost of them will die and go to hell just like the Gentiles, for most of them will continue to reject Jesus Christ as the Messiah right up until their end. Only those who accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah will make it to the safe place, and eventually into the Kingdom of Jesus on this Earth. This the Bible tells us.
The teaching of the Catholic Church to summarize are as such, the rapture is a simultaneous event at the end the tribulation, just before Armageddon.
These teachings I think, are what has been taught by most, If not all-Christian faiths from the beginning of Christianity.
I plan on going in the rapture, but why this revelation now. I realize you may not have the answer to why and that's okay. Like I said I plan on going anyway. As long as you are ready to go, it will not matter when the Rapture takes place, for if you die first, you will be in heaven, and if you are still alive and would be judged welcome to be in heaven if you died, then you will be in the Rapture.
However the teaching of the Catholic Church is wrong, as is most of their doctrines they teach. But even so, there are many who sit in the pews and keep their eyes on Jesus, ignoring the idolatry taught, that will have salvation and enter into heaven. I know that my Mother and Father have both made it into heaven, for the Lord God told me so. My Father who was a convert to Catholic, went easy to heaven. But my Mother who was born and raised a Catholic almost did not make it. And it is only in answer to prayers for her salvation that the Lord God kept her alive for 10 years past the time when He would have taken her. And it is only at the end that she repented, then Jesus Took her, so Jesus told me. But she did suffer physically in those last years. Early on the Lord showed me a vision of just how far away from Him that she was, yet she was convinced that she had salvation, and with that belief, never repented, for she had never been told that she had to repent. The belief that just speaking to a priest in the confessional, was all that was needed. But there is not one man on this earth outside of Jesus who could ever forgive sins.
Were do Raymonds prophecies fit into this, are you saying that everything the Lord has shown Raymond are all things we will be here for? No I am not, but while we will be here for most of those prophecies, there are some prophecies which will most definitely happen during the last 7 year Great tribulation period, which is the last 7 years the Jews will again be under Mosaic Law. But there are so many who can not see that while we will not, and can not be on the earth during that last 7 years, it does not mean that we will not be here for some very terrible tribulations.
I tell people what the Lord God Jesus Christ has given to me in prophecy, and in our talks together, and they laugh, say no it just cannot be that way for I was taught etc, etc. Their not believing is their problem, for they have been warned, and I am getting tired of giving that same warning over and over again when they will not listen. How frustrated the Old Testament Prophets must have been. I see them in a whole new light since the Lord has started giving me prophecy.
I say once more. The 1st seal of Revelation has already been opened. The 2nd seal is about to be opened in Less than two years at the most from this time, and that opening seal is WAR. The Last Seven year Great tribulation does not start until the Trumpet Judgments, and then it tells us that no one who lives through those judgments will ever repent.
I tell them once more that the Anti-Christ is gaining control and will be controlling the leaders of the different governments, without himself being revealed to us, since he will be controlling from the background. And so the mark of the Beast will be implemented in this time BEFORE the Great Tribulation of Daniel's Prophecy.
They say, no, no, that just cannot be because it is not what I was taught. But I say, It Will BE for the Holy Lord has declared it to be so, and has told me that it will be that way.
Are we supposed to warn people about what is to come so they are ready when these things happen and believe and resist what is happening, and then be ready to go to meet the Lord in the rapture. Yes you are given the information so that you can tell others who will not listen to God directly. But even so, most that you tell will not believe, and most will not care. These you can do nothing about. Once you have told them, they are on their own to believe whatever it is that they want to believe. Walk away from them. Do not continue to preach to deaf ears. Go find someone new to warn. Perhaps a few will listen, maybe.
Are the prophecies to confirm to people while they are being fulfilled that what is really happening is the end, so more people are saved and are ready for the rapture.
Or for us to tell people before they happen, then when they come to pass, people will believe.
Now Im wondering if the prophecies are all going to happen before the rapture, Most of them will happen before the Rapture. if no one, no one who is left behind will be aloud in heaven then what is the point. The point is for them to make themselves ready NOW, and how can they make themselves ready if they are not told. God Told Noah, Noah told his family who believed, and Noah told every one else who would not believe, and you see the result. Those who believed were saved, those who did not believe perished. Unless the prophecies are about things we all will see and endure before the rapture and the antichrist is revealed and the seven-year tribulation period. If you see someone standing in the middle of a railroad track and you see a train bearing down on them, should you not warn them? But once they have been warned, then it is up to them to believe you and get off of the track before the train gets there, or to laugh at you and continue standing on the track until the train runs them down. Once you have warned them, your responsibility is finished. Our job, given the information given to us by the prophecies, both in the Bible, and as given by modern day Prophets of the Lord, is to pass on that information, just as we pass on the Good News about Jesus Christ. Yes we will see and endure almost all of what the Prophecies tell us, that is up until they kill us, or the Rapture happens. Which ever one comes first. We will still be in the Rapture.
I kind of thought that some of Raymonds prophecies would not come to pass until after the rapture and maybe some of these prophecies in part were also for the people left behind, to help them get through the tribulation. Help them be strong and endure, not except the antichrist and die if need be.
Perhaps some of those prophecies that will be fulfilled after the Rapture will help the Jews to see the Truth.
God Bless, MMR
