APRIL 8 SOLAR ECLIPSE | World War | Antichrist | Strange Things Happening Worldwide

April 8 solar eclipse World War strange things happening worldwide three end time events that are happening today number one rumors of war the Bible is a history book but it is unlike any other history book available in any public library the history of the Bible starts with the creation of the earth and ends with the end of the world no other history book has ever been published that covers such a broad range of events on planet Earth partially because no one was present at the start to witness

and document it and therefore no one can write the beginning of our world authoritatively we are the only people in the whole world who understand how everything will finish that's special God didn't share what's going to happen next with his friends just because they wanted to know he did it so they could get ready for what's coming this way they wouldn't be shocked when it happens and they wouldn't get it wrong we should be happy that Jesus was so open in telling us what's waiting for us in t

he future people often wonder are we living in the end days the Bible tells us about the last days and we've been living in these times for 2,000 years these days began at Pentecost a time when an important prophecy about the last days happened every person who follows Jesus should always be ready for when he comes back the Bible is a special book that talks a lot about the future out of its many pages about 1/4 of them make predictions about what's going to happen from the start to finish the B

ible is like a book that tells us what's coming next although some parts talk about the future more than others out of 735 times the Bible predicted the future 596 of those times things happen just like it said they would this means 81% of the Bible's predictions have already come true even though many were made a very long time ago the Bible has always been spoton with its forecasts every single one that should have happened by now did most of the ones still pending are about Jesus coming back

and what comes after so how many forecasts are we waiting on before Jesus comes back around 20 we're keeping our eyes peeled for those to unfold before we expect to see Jesus himself Jesus said to to keep watch and to pray what should we be watching for well we're not supposed to just sit around staring at the sky waiting for Jesus to show up that's not what he was getting at he was saying we should stay alert to what's happening around us and look out for the clues he's given us to get ready th

ese Clues are the signals let's flip to Matthew chap 24 where Jesus's disciples asked him what are the clues for knowing when you're about to come back what should we do if we don't know exactly when that will be Jesus didn't beat around the bush he gave them a straightup answer we can be really thankful that he made it so clear in the Revelation book he goes into even more detail but here he just lays out the key signals that will show he's about to return the disciples approached Jesus secretl

y as he was Seated on the Mount of Olives Matthew 24: 3-8 as Jesus was sitting on the Mount of olives the disciples came to him privately tell us they said when will this happen and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age Jesus answered watch out that no one deceives you for many will come in my name claiming I am the Messiah and will deceive many you will hear of wars and rumors of wars but see to it that you are not alarmed such things must happen but the end is still to

come Nation will rise against nation and Kingdom against Kingdom there will be famines and earthquakes in various places all these are the beginning of birth pains in these verses Jesus told us about four big clues that show us he's coming back he said one of those Clues is already happening but the other three aren't here yet that's why I think we're at the start of What's called the end times so what are these four big Clues the first one is about big Global troubles like Wars between countri

es these these things have been happening for a really long time over 2,000 years but now they're happening more often and feel stronger we're definitely seeing this first clue there are Wars scary rumors shaking ground and hunger Jesus told us don't be tricked he said that many times the closer we get to the end the more we have to watch out for being fooled even people who go to church can be tricked he warned us about people who pretend to be heroes or Messiahs during these Hard Times some of

these fakers have tricked people into following them to the middle of nowhere and it ended very badly but there are lots of these false prophets people who say they can solve all our problems the more troubles there are the more of these fakers will show up but Jesus tells us not to worry don't get too upset when we hear about another fight or sad event he told us something shocking even though these events are sad they're not the end they're like the hard part before something new and good is

born when we hear about these troubles it means something new is on the way this should make us think differently we know what's going to happen to the world we shouldn't get too upset or scared not like other people might troubles in the world are like the tough times before something new and good comes so we're different we feel sad for people who are having a hard time and we try to help but deep down we're not scared we're hopeful full we're looking forward to something new and good coming o

ut of all of this so we're not down or scared by all the problems in short Jesus would tell us not to panic not to get too worried but to even rejoice and say all these things happening are clues that something new is about to start number two April 8 solar eclipse the one forming light and creating Darkness causing peace and creating disaster Isaiah chapter 45:7 on April 8 2024 there will be a total solar eclipse that people all over the world are excited about you can see it from places in Nor

th and Central America everyone from teachers to regular folks is talking a lot about it you can find loads of chats news stories and websites filled with guesses information and tips on how to watch this amazing Sky show this eclipse is getting people to talk about the story from the Bible about Jonah Jonah was a man who ended up inside a whale for 3 days but then got out safely in a place called Nineveh what's really interesting is that the eclipse is going to pass over seven towns named Ninev

eh right here in the United States this has made some people think there's a special meaning or message from the Bible happening with this Eclipse people have different ideas about it but it sure makes the eclipse even more interesting to think about signs in the sky Genesis 1: veres 14- 15 tells us about the creation of the sun moon and stars by God he created them to act as signs marking time and Seasons when we witness celestial events like eclipses planetary alignments and constellations the

y remind us of a deeper spiritual significance these events serve as memorials reminding us of the Sacred Covenant established by God with Abraham through Jesus this Covenant continues and he serves as a Living testament to God's faith we are all waiting for April 8 to see one of the most amazing things in the sky the eclipse and here's something interesting to think about if we can learn stuff from just looking at rocks imagine what we can learn from the Sun and if little streams can tell us st

ories think about the Amazing Stories the sun can tell us especially when it looks like it's disappearing for a bit during the eclipse everything around us every single thing you can see hear or touch has something to teach us so let's get ready to learn there's nothing out of there that doesn't have an important lesson for us is an eclipse a sign of the end times the Bible mentions various events of the end times which are connected to Celestial occurrences such as the sun moon stars shooting s

tars and even solar and lunar eclipses these celestial events are described in the Bible when it mentions what will happen in the end times for instance when someone asked about the end times times Jesus said and there will be strange signs in the sun moon and stars and here on Earth the Nations will be in turmoil perplexed by The Roaring seas and strange Tides Luke 21:25 it's natural that when unusual or not often seen space events happen lots of people reflect on the end times why verses like

Matthew 24:29 come to mind in Matthew 24:29 it says immediately after the anguish of those days the sun will be darkened the moon will give no light the Stars will fall from the sky and the powers in the heavens will be shaken Isaiah 13:10 the heavens will be black above them the Stars will give no light the sun will be dark when it rises and the moon will provide no light during a solar eclipse the Sun appears significantly dimmer as the moon passes between it and the Earth blocking its light s

imilarly during a lunar eclipse the moon appears darker as it passes through the Earth's Shadow and reflects less light so yes there does seem to be a possible connection between an eclipse and the end times it should be noted that there is no way to connect a specific Eclipse with the Fulfillment of end times's prophecy eclipses are actually quite frequent with a total solar eclipse happening somewhere on Earth about once every 18 months partial solar eclipses occur multiple times per year whil

e total lunar eclipses occur almost every year in most parts of the world Jesus has mentioned that a sign will appear immediately after the distress which is a reference to the abomination of desolation in verse 15 the sign will appear during a time of great distress which is said to be unequaled from the beginning of the world till now and will never be equaled again is stated in verse 21 Jesus is talking about a very difficult time that will be worse than anything else ever in the world he tel

ls us it's going to be so bad that if it lasted too long nobody would make it through this time of great trouble is going to happen in the middle of a period called the tribulation also Jesus made it clear that nobody knows exactly when he will come back Matthew 24:36 however no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen not even the angels in heaven or the son himself only the Father Knows eclipses are something we can understand very well and know exactly when they will happen rig

ht to the second so it's not likely that an eclipse will be the exact time when Christ comes back when we wonder about when the Rapture will happen who the Antichrist is when the tough times will start and what the scary sounding abomination of desolation means we don't have the answers just yet but the Apostle Peter tells us what we should do while we wait for the end times in 2 Peter 3: 11-12 it says since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this what holy and godly lives you sh

ould live looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along on that day he will set the heavens on fire and the elements will melt away in the Flames we know that we will then see the new creation where righteousness dwells verse 13 therefore living in anticipation of Christ return requires us to lead a life of Holiness and constant Readiness the Antichrist Spirit arrived now I would like to discuss one of the main outworkings of Satan's kingdom this opposition manifests itself in what I c

all the spirit of the Antichrist this as we will see is distinct from the one person called the Antichrist who in turn is different from the many antichrists that have Arisen throughout history this spirit and these persons are explained in John's teachings dear children the last hour is here you have heard that the Antichrist is coming and already many such antichrists have appeared from this we know that the last hour has come these people left our churches but they never really belonged with

us otherwise they would have stayed with us when they left it proved that they did not belong with us but you are not like that for the Holy One has given you his spirit and and all of you know the truth so I am writing to you not because you don't know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and lies and who is a liar anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ anyone who denies the father and the son is an antichrist anyone who denies the son doesn't have the father either

but anyone who acknowledges the son has the father also 1 John 2: 18-23 let me clarify the true meaning of the term Antichrist the word Christ is from the Greek word Christos which exactly corresponds to the Hebrew word mashia from which we get Messiah so when we say Antichrist that means anti- Messiah with this John referred to an individual who has captured the imagination of many people some who don't even know the Bible however many are not knowledgeable about this individual known as the A

ntichrist while Jesus was known for his Beauty in Charisma the antichrist's personality and character will be unappealing and unpleasant Jesus always spoke the truth while the Antichrist would only utter falsehoods the Antichrist will look wonderful be charming and successful he will be the ultimate winner and appear as an angel of light in this sense the Antichrist will be a satanic Messiah instead of the true Messiah Jesus Christ in the book of 1 John 2:18 the author mentioned both the Antichr

ist and many antichrists according to the text there is a spirit associated with the Antichrist and this spirit will eventually lead to the emergence of the Antichrist who will lead Humanity in a rebellion against God during the end times and other words though the word still waits to see the ultimate revelation of the Antichrist there are little previews of this man and his mission to come these are the antichrists with a little a though we commonly call this coming word world leader the Antich

rist the Bible gives him many names or titles he is known as the man of lawlessness the son of predition 2 Thessalonians 2:3 don't be fooled what they say for that day will not come until there is a Great Rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness is revealed the one who brings destruction further in John's teaching we read by this you know the spirit of God every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not f

rom God this is the spirit of the Antichrist which you have heard is coming and now it is already in the world throughout the history of mankind many antichrists have appeared and been manifested there is the Antichrist a particular person according to scripture at the end of this age a powerful ruler known as the Antichrist will reign over mankind for a brief period this represent presents the ultimate manifestation of evil as we approach the End of the Age The Spirit of the Antichrist will bec

ome more intense and we will find ourselves battling against it more frequently the spirit Works through every Antichrist identifying marks of the spirit John has given us distinctive signs of the spirit of the Antichrist these are of great importance the mark of the spirit is that it denies that Jesus is the Messiah as we see in 1 John 2 vers 22 who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ and then John continues he is Antichrist that denieth the father and the son remember this t

he spirit of the Antichrist does not deny the existence of God indeed the Antichrist will claim to be God's representative godhead the spirit that denies the Messiah has come it probably believes in the Messiah who will come but denies that the Messiah has already come the person known as Antichrist so we see three names for the same being the Antichrist the man of lawlessness and the son of predition and we are given one other important name in Revelation 13 this is part of the vision that John

had and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea it had seven heads and 10 horns with 10 crowns on its horns and written on each head were names that blasphemed God this Beast looked like a leopard but it had the feed of a bear in the mouth of a lion and the dragon gave the Beast his own power and throne in great Authority I saw that one of the heads of the Beast seemed wounded Beyond recovery but the fatal wound was healed the whole world marveled at this miracle and gave allegiance to the Beast

they worshiped the Dragon for giving the Beast such power and they also worshiped the Beast who is as great as the Beast they exclaimed who is able to fight against him revelation 13: 1-4 here we see the fourth title the Beast a person who is going to arise to whom Satan the dragon will impart his power John's vision of a beast rising from the sea in Revelation 12 John's Vision mainly had heaven in view now the scene of his vision shifted to the Earth and in his vision he stood on the sand of t

he sea John refers to this creature as a beast not a dragon as described in Revelation 12:3 this creature symbolizes someone distinct from Satan represented by the dragon Revelation 12:9 though this Beast is distinct from the dragon of Revelation 12 he is still closely identified with him he is not the dragon but he is like him because the dragon also had seven heads and 10 horns why will Satan give his power to that person because this will enable that person to gain dominion over the entire hu

man race and convince all mankind to do the one thing Satan most desires to worship him his goal has been a long-term project which he has worked on patiently for many centuries an image is set up of the Beast and the whole world is commanded to worship it throughout history men have often bowed down to an image of a political ruler the Antichrist is also called the son of predition 2 Thessalonians 2:3 at as was Judas John 17:12 during my time here I protected them by the power of the name you g

ave me I guarded them so that no one was lost except the one headed for Destruction as the scriptures foretold this world leader is empowered and supported by Satan through this man Satan will Express his desire and Authority in this the Beast takes the offer that Jesus refused Matthew 4: 8-10 Matthew 4: 8-10 says next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their Glory I will give it all to you he said if you will kneel down and wo

rship me get out of here Satan Jesus told him for the scriptures say You must Worship the Lord your God and serve only him the beast's recovery increases his Fame and Authority all the world marveled that described as a man whose appearance was greater than his brothers many people will find him highly attractive because of his charm eloquence and striking appearance the Antichrist will progress from being a regional leader to a world leader a ruthless Global Tyrant and finally a God the beasts

blasphemies Revelation 13: 5-6 then the Beast was allowed to speak great blasphemies against God and he was given authority to do whatever he wanted for 42 months and he spoke terrible words of blasphemy against God slandering his name and his dwelling that is those who dwell in heaven blasphemer may be a more accurate title than Antichrist for this end times dictator this individual is someone who speaks out against God and opposes everything that God represents including his name his dwelling

place and the inhabitants of Heaven some Roman emperors blaspheme God this way but they did not fulfill these prophecies even if they did prefigure their fulfillment and he was given authority to continue for 42 months according to biblical prophecy the Beast will be allowed to act without restraint for 42 months which is equivalent to 3 and 1/2 years the Beast makes war against the Saints Revelation 13:7 and the Beast was allowed to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them and he

was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and Nation the government of the Beast will persecute and extinguish all those who do not bow in worship to the Beast the Antichrist and the Unholy Trinity what is the Unholy Trinity the Unholy Trinity's first person and father is Satan the Antichrist will be the evil Trinity's second member and Son the third part of the Unholy Trinity the false prophet will guide the people's worship and acclaim back to the end Antichrist Sata

n often tries to imitate or counterfeit God's work to make himself seem like God the so-called Unholy Trinity as vividly described in Revelation 12 and 13 is no exception the Holy Trinity is made up of God the father Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit Satan the Antichrist and the false prophet are their Unholy Trinity counterfeit the Holy Trinity embodies infinite truth love and goodness however the Unholy Trinity exhibits the diametrically opposed characteristics of deception hatred and pure evil

the world will be completely enthralled by the Antichrist after this wondrous event they will worship Satan as well as the Antichrist the Antichrist will not be alone the false prophet is the final member of the Unholy Trinity as described in Revelation 13: 11-18 Revelation 13: 11 11 through 18 then I saw another Beast come out of the earth he had two horns like those of a lamb but he spoke with the voice of a dragon he exercised all the authority of the first beast and he required all the eart

h and its people to worship the first Beast whose fatal wound had been healed he did astonishing Miracles even making Fire Flash Down to Earth from the sky while everyone was watching and with all the Miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first Beast he deceived all the people who belong to this world he ordered the people to make a great statue of the first Beast who was fatally wounded and then came back to life he was then permitted to give life to the Statue so that it could sp

eak and the statue of the Beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die he required everyone small and great rich and poor free and slave to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead and no one could buy ourselves anything without that Mark which was either the name of the Beast or the number representing his name wisdom is needed here let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the Beast for it is the number of a man his number is 666 this second b

east emerges from the earth rather than the sea although he appears Meek mild and benevolent the horns indicate that he will wield power Jesus expressly cautioned followers to watch out for false prophets who may seem Innocent but may cause a great deal of damage Matthew 7:15 beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves according to Revelation 13:13 the false prophet has the ability to perform impressive Miracles including summoning fire from the he

avens he raises an image of the Antichrist for worship gives the image life demands that all people worship the image and persecutes those who refuse to worship the image Paul declared that the Antichrist will come with all power second Thessalonians 2:9 this man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit Power and signs and miracles Revelation 13: 14-15 and with all the Miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first Beast he deceived all the people who belong to this world he

ordered the people to make a great statue of the first Beast who was fatally wounded and then came back to life he was then permitted to give life to the Statue so that it could speak then the statue of the Beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die it is said that the false prophet will require all individuals to get a permanent Mark similar to how slaves were marked in the past to show their complete loyalty to the Antichrist and rejection of God this Mark will be necessary t

o engage in any business transactions except accepting the mark results in Eternal death Revelation 14:10 according to the Bible those who accept the mark are not only accepting an economic system but also a worship system that rejects Jesus Christ The Number of the Beast is revealed in Revelation 13: 18 666 we read of a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads Satan is not creating a being all he can do is imitate God we are not surprised to find that this too is a satanic parody of somet

hing God will do it imitates God's Mark upon his people Revelation 7: 3-4 saying do not harm the Earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bonder Servants of our God on their foreheads and I heard the number of those who were sealed 144,000 sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel now number three let us pray dear Lord we come before you today with heartseeking peace of mind knowing that in your presence all burdens are lifted and Tranquility is found in the midst of life's cha
