The latest iPhone is 13 as with the tech industry it is something I keep a close eye on as I did a computer science degree
Flip phones are coming into play again as you have new foldable phones such as the galaxy fold 3
I used as an example because say in the early 1990-200s they thought it was microchips and then RFIDs then smaller RFIDs then quantum dot then some people suggesting neurolink which would make elon musk the antichrist
What I am trying to mean is that we are flooded by so much information regarding that do we look at the actual verses in scripture
To me is the way being prepared for a larger apostasy as
Rev 13
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. note
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: note
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name
So when actually analysing the passage it mentions the beast and the number so when analysing this passage the Greek word is χάÏαγμα charigma which means stamp , if you analyse it further in other greek sources
Perseus you can look at other greek usage of this phrase
https://vocab.perseus.org/lemma/90861/?filter=urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0031.tlg027.perseus-grc2
The thing doesn't make any sense without the beast as he could go back to a simple stamp from the beast.
This is the current problem as I don't live in America communism has been plagueing this world for centuries but it is not the antichrist singular
The great apostasy is interesting as if you read the passage it is the great apostasy that reveals the antichrist.
I can have lots of signs but if there pointing in the wrong direction or red herrings
2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, note
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.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. note
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 great apostasy or rebellion reveals the antichrist.
In a word in greek if you want to negate a word you put an a Infront of the word such as theist means God put an a it is the opposite.
The word anti is almost like the opposite like the word antibodies or antitrust Antarctic , the opposite of the artic
The word anti Messiah , opposite of the Messiah
The word Christ and Messiah are the same thing Christos in greek and hamashiah in Hebrew.
The Messiah is a weighted Jewish term , the Jewish people according to Maimonides want a third temple , world peace and other things.
It is sometimes we look at end time things but don't look at scripture say the whole recent ai craze with the image of the beast or these large giant statues
Revelation 13
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. note
and that the image of the beast should both speak.
And he the antichrist gave power to give life to the beast
Note it was not artificial intelligence , it was supernatural not artificial intelligence nor does it say it is a giant statue that is eisegesis
It is not reading the passage that is why I get so annoyed as people look at these passages and assume so much things the actual passage does not say
Counterfeits look like the real thing and just because artificial intelligence looks very like it but it is vastly different from what the actual passage says.
It would be like firing at wood pidgeons in a war and using up your ammo so when you really have an enemy you have no ammo left.
As the anti Messiah is going to look exactly like jesus he will try and set up a millennium, he will rule from Jerusalem , he will try and fufill every Talmudic prophecy
He is a counterfeit
This is where hindsight about jesus first coming comes into play as you read the dead sea Scrolls they were a million miles away from what they thought the Messiah should be
How when looking at these signs we are falliable human beings not God.
Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive
Let us not be blown around by every wind of doctrine let's analyse things and be berean
2 Peter 2:3 Adj-DMP
GRK: á¼Î½ πλεονεξίᾳ πλαστοῖς λόγοις ὑμᾶς
NAS: they will exploit you with false words;
KJV: covetousness shall they with feigned words
INT: through covetousness with well-turned words you
The equivalent Greek word for counterfeit is used here πλαστός
