Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

[TribulationSigns]

The antichrist is the spirit Satan working within man, which has been around a long time, but whom will abound, increase, or be loosed a short time before the Lord returns as a judgment upon the harlot church. A Church which has gone whoring after other gods in divorcing [Apostasia] herself from her God. For it is written, judgment must begin at the house of God (1st Peter 4:17). And for this reason, the spirit Satan is loosed 'by God' and will go forth and deceive the nations that they should believe his false teachings, and be damned. And God says the reason is because they would not receive the love of the truth of God's Word (2nd Thessalonians 2:9-12).

The antichrist is NOW, and is in ANYONE (not only one man) who has the spirit of Satan dwelling within them that they become adversaries to God's Word. For he who is adversary to the Word, is adversary to Christ. The antichrist revealed in full in the end time apostasy, is when Satan is unrestrained and these seduces will come against the camp of the saints in a great spiritual warfare. By their opposition to the truth, they make themselves a truth in and of themselves, a substitute Christ. They worship an image of themselves (as those who built the tower to heaven) looking spiritually to being their own god, and their own authority. They are seeking to write their own destiny as they have fallen from the faith where they place their word as law instead of God's Word. We see this today as every law of God is being attacked and is fallen in Church after Church around the world. And only those with the whole armour of God will come through this unscathed. The man of God, the man of law has taken a back seat to the man of Satan, the man of sin or lawlessness. These truths are spiritually discerned in the elect.

1st Timothy 4:1

• "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;"

This is the coming of that spirit of antichrist where men depart from the faith and begin listening to the spirits of devils. This is the loosing of that spirit Satan that man becomes lawless and rules in the Churches instead of God. This is man taking a seat (ruling) in the Holy Temple in place of God. i.e., he's become a false or substitute Christ in denial of the truth. Not about one man out of Europe or the Middle East to control all political nations of the Earth as premillennialists believe.

Old Testament examples show us that a woman who has abandoned her husband for another is seen as a harlot, and this act an Abomination that will bring her to desolation. God uses this as an illustration of the unfaithful Church, the New Testament congregation of Israel. This abandoning God is taking place now as surely as it took place in Israel and led to her desolation and her 'denial of Christ.' And let the nay-sayers take note that Israel didn't deny the Messiah verbally. In point of fact, they believed fervently in their interpretation of the Messiah, and they waited for Him. But it was by their works that they denied the very Christ whom they sought. And it is the same in our day. Professed Christians build up Churches with the names of the great Church fathers and prophets on their lips, but in their works and hearts, they are the same as those who killed these very Church fathers and prophets. And this isn't the first time this has occurred, for biblical history reveals their is nothing new under the sun.

Matthew 23:29-32

• "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
• And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
• Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
• Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers."

False prophets usually never know that they are false prophets because 'Satan's principle weapon is deception.' Like those today looking for a single literal devil men, marks on the skin, and earthly reigns, the Old Testament Israel, too, looked for earthly reigns, wars, prosperity, and a Messiah after their own imaginations. They preached the Messiah and they were all looking forward to His coming, but they missed Him because of unbelief. Christ called them children of the Devil, and yet they all believed they were of God and served him. Let that be a lesson to all of us of Satan's power of deception. No, man doesn't have to verbally deny Christ to deny Christ.

'He who hath an ear, let him hear.'

Judgment (as then, so now) must begin at the House of God, and the judgment is the same. Desolation for their abominations in the Holy Temple. Finally, the buyers and sellers (those with the mark of the beast) who take a seat in the Temple, as if they were God, are cast out. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

As I've said many times in this message, Satan’s principal weapon is deception. Again and again, Christ has warned us of this. In practically every verse or chapter about the end times there is witness to it. This is because God so desires His people to be so familiar with the truth of this, that we will be able recognize the 'SIGNS' of this counterfeit gospel by examining these passages, and these false teachers in light of the Word. It all comes down to this. Will we remain faithful to the laws in the Word of God when all those around us are falling away from God like branches in the hard wind?

Antichrist has no specific prophetic application to any ONE particular human being whether living or dead, but to all men who in the spirit of Satan practice lawlessness in the Church. These are those who substitute their word for God's law to deceive the people. The personification of ageless rebellion, the spirit of antichrist is not the Pope, not Hitler, not Trump, or that leader in France. He is not identifiable with one nation, one church, institution, or person. He can show up in the Reformed, Presbyterian or Baptist Church just as easily as he has in the Roman Catholic church! As long as the spirit of Satan struggles against Christ through his minions, the antichrist is at work deceiving the flock. The more God allows this spirit to prosper, the more these false prophets will assault the Church. Only when the Lord Jesus Christ returns, having put down all rule and authority to deliver up the kingdom to God, will our warfare against antichrist cease. Then comes the consummation and our true Sabbath of rest.

1st Corinthians 2:13

• "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual."

We discern the antichrist by carefully comparing scripture with scripture. So exactly who is antichrist? He is Satan, and he is the professing Christian with his spirit of disobedience, who is in opposition to Christ and in works deny Him. He is not part of the body of Christ, but part of the body of the beast. There were many antichrists throughout the last days of the New Testament so his origin is not solely a present day phenomenon. He is Satan who comes as an angel or messenger of light, and he is Satan's army, those whom he commands, who come as ministers of righteousness (2nd Cor. 11:14-15).

May the Lord who is Gracious above all, give us the wisdom to discern what is truth from what is deception, and the understanding to glean some of the glorious and precious promises and exhortations in his most Holy Word.

 

[Ronald David Bruno]

There will not be "lawless one" as God is talking about

So one doesn't mean one? So Hitler wasn't one, Stalin ... not one either, or Mao Zedong? Sorry but a leader, who is am antichrist and active now will organize ten nations to fight against Israel - and is already fighting against her AS WE SPEAK!

When Christ prophesied of false Christs and false prophets coming in times of great tribulation, He is speaking of the many Antichrists.

Sure, but one will be empowered by Satan. You seem to disregard Rev. 13, Dan. 7 or think they happened in the past?

Once the spirit of Satan enters into the unfaithful of God's congregation, they become Antichrists.

No one can snatch God's chosen ( written in the Book of Life) out of His hand. A true "born again Christian" cannot lose his salvation, which is a gift. God doesn't give gifts if he knows a person will fall away. No these who do were never saved; the seed fell on rocky or shallow soil and did not take root. Reprobates are born that way, already sons of Satan and remain tha way.

The antichrist spirit that works within the children of lawlessness or disobedience is the spirit of Satan. The child of disobedience is the same as the man of lawlessness (often translated the man of sin)

Sure, no problem with that.

Contrary to popular opinion, man isn't literally required to verbally declare, "I am Christ," in order to qualify as a false Christ.

I never implied that., but Jesus said, Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible even the elect. Matt. 24:23-24

Okay, and?

So all Muslims are Antichrists and anti- Simites which means there won't be much problem organizing them together against Israel and Christianity, it is already in there nature.

That is the incorrect interpreation of premillennialism.

Ah, you are an Amillennialist. I wish y'all could state that up front when entering a prophetic thread - it would save time. I don't gel with Amillennialists.

Beast is Satan personified. It is a body of unbelievers deceived by Satan. Not a single person. Just as we Christians are the body of the Lamb or Christ.

Not making assume that the horns are nations.

No need to continue. Bye.

 

[Brakelite]

I have been contributing to eschatological conversations for 20 years on various platforms, and it is becoming more and more apparent the depth of deception that has permeated God's people regarding the last days.
I don't have the energy any more to go into massive detail on various texts and biblical evidence of the days we presently live in, so I will restrict myself to a brief general observation.
The reformers, through observation, b experience, but most of all, biblical studies, all agreed on thing, though they may have differed on others. The papal system was the Antichrist of scripture. The Papal system was thatsingle entity that fulfilled the prophetic criteria that pinpointed her identity. Since then, further criteria have been met, confirming their accurate and forthright preaching and teaching on the subject, even at the cost of their lives. The Catholic church as a result of this teaching, became a porous leaky colander that by the 17th century was reeling throughout Europe. Protestantism was growing exponentially, and Rome's survival became a serious threat .
So came the council of Trent. 18 years of discussion, debates, and arguments to find a solution. They did manage to find a defense against the charges of tradition over scripture, but the issue of the accusations of being the prophetic Antichrist came later. The counter reformation was begun, and at the forefront were the Jesuits, who created 2 new paradigms, or hermeneutic, to interpret prophecy.
And sadly, the vast majority of the modern church now base their entire eschatological teachings on the shaky deceptions of Jesuitism, to whom futurism and preterism can be readily traced. The result?
The true Antichrist, which has been deceiving the nations for over 1500 years, persecuting the saints for much of that time, changing the gospel and replacing Christ with a host of idols and false relics, myths, and superstitions, is effectively hidden from sight, to be replaced by some future man made horror show that has little foundation in scripture.

So one doesn't mean one? So Hitler wasn't one, Stalin ... not one either, or Mao Zedong? Sorry but a leader, who is am antichrist and active now will organize ten nations to fight against Israel - and is already fighting against her AS WE SPEAK!

Number of things:

1.) Hilder was one of many antichrists. Stalin was one of many antichrists. Your co-worker is one of many antichrists. Your Sunday school teacher is one of many antichrists.

2.) There won't be a "leader" of the antichrists coming! It is Satan's being revealed working through men after he was loosened from bottomless pit.

3.) You got wrong Israel to begin with. You premillennialists are obsessed with finding a single man to bring war to a nation called Israel in the Middle East while ignore that the New Testament church as a congregation that represents God as Israel! Aren't we a spiritual Jew in Christ and we are in Israel which is Christ himself? Take your eyes off newspaper eschatology, dude!

Sure, but one will be empowered by Satan. You seem to disregard Rev. 13, Dan. 7 or think they happened in the past?

No, Satan empowers and works with MEN, WOMEN, CHILDREN for they are his children with spirit of disobedience! The spirit of the antichrist that works against the Church, the New Testament representation of God's kingdom on Earth! Not national Israel. Not going to discuss Revelation 13, Daniel 7, etc as you got the antichrist part wrong to begin with anyway.

No one can snatch God's chosen ( written in the Book of Life) out of His hand. A true "born again Christian" cannot lose his salvation, which is a gift. God doesn't give gifts if he knows a person will fall away. No these who do were never saved; the seed fell on rocky or shallow soil and did not take root. Reprobates are born that way, already sons of Satan and remain tha way.

Do you realize that the church is made up of BOTH God's Chosen Elect and Professed Christians? Satan is allowed to deceive those WITHIN the church who have not yet been saved or sealed by God. Read Revelation 9.

I never implied that., but Jesus said, Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible even the elect. Matt. 24:23-24

Do you understand the verses? Christ is talking about those in the church telling you to come to their unfaithful or apostate church where they believe they have power of Christ. Do not believe them becasue God is judging them right now. Stay away. This has nothing to do with nations in Europe, or the Middle East. God it talking about HIS CHURCH where the battle and judgment takes place all over the world. Not in Israel!

So all Muslims are Antichrists and anti- Simites which means there won't be much problem organizing them together against Israel and Christianity, it is already in there nature.

They are antichrist. They are part of Satan's camp, whether they are part of a church or not. They always hate Jews and Israel anyway but is NOT the focus of Bible prophecies.

Ah, you are an Amillenialism..I wish y'all could state that up front when entering a prophetic thread - it would save time. I don't gel with Amillennialists.

Gal 4:16
(16) Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

No need to continue. Bye.

I see, so you can't seem to find Scripture that supports your interpreation of horns as physical nations that I asked? Obviously its just your speculation or private interpretation that they are so...yeah, run away to avoid being corrected.

 

[covenantee]

You didn't answer my question: What planet are you from?

Confirmed.

There's no ignorance like dispensational ignorance.

 

[The Light]

That's not exactly correct.

From ISAIAH 14:12, the Hebrew word ,halal, transliterated helel, English is lucifer (English come from Latin)
"Morning star", "day star", "shining one".
God is speaking to an angel, who has fallen from Heaven, not Nimrod and calls him morning star, Halal or Lucifer in English.
It's a name, like an Indian Chief would name a warrior, Sitting Bull or Crazy Horse. Many names have meaning in them, first and last names. Lucifer's name was changed to Satan, meaning adversary, accuser. He was no longer a bright morning star.
These are English translations that use Lucifer:
BRG
DARBY
DRA Douay-Rheims 1899
GNV 1599 Geneva
JUB Jubilee Bible
TLB. Living Bible
MEV Modern English
KJV 1611
NKJV
WYC Wycliffe

Lucifer is a Latin word. The word lucifer is not a proper name in the Latin Vulgate and should be translated as "day star".

Nimrod is the day star. He is also the king of Babylon being discussed. He is also a man and he is also the Assyrian. No mention of Satan in Isaiah 14.

 

[covenantee]

Your answer? To what? I did not ask you a single question about reformers or reformed theologians. You have answered your own question by making assumptions. LOL. I also can see that you were dishonestly evasive from answering a biblical question(s). Now I have witnessed your true color here so I will place you on the ignoring List.

Good riddance.

You brought up "preterist". I asked a question to clarify your claim of "preterist". You couldn't answer, so you labeled it irrelevant. And suddenly, you no longer had anything to say about "preterist", to which you had been the first to refer.

Thanks for the guffaws.

 

[covenantee]

You think that any Pope could hate Christ and Christians? They devote their lives to serving Christ. Now Protestants differ on a few doctrines, but I still respect and see them as brothers and sisters. They have faith in Christ.
Why don't you go ask a Priest, talk to him? Ask any Catholic if they believe that Jesus died for our sins and rose on the third day? They will probably laugh, look at you weird and say, "Of course, that is the fundamental truth of our religion". Then they might sarcastically point out something to you, "Do you see crosses all over the world on every steeple and in every church? What do you think that represents." They will look at you like you are stupid and ask, "What planet are you from"?
Actually, I'm curious too, what planet are you from?

Thankfully, not the dispenplanet.

So you think that declaring that the pope "is not mere man, but as it were God" is "differing on a few doctrines"?

2. “The pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God. He is the divine monarch and supreme emperor, and king of kings.

Nimrod is the day star.

Evidence of this?

 

[Timtofly]

Lucifer is a Latin word. The word lucifer is not a proper name in the Latin Vulgate and should be translated as "day star".

Nimrod is the day star. He is also the king of Babylon being discussed. He is also a man and he is also the Assyrian. No mention of Satan in Isaiah 14.

Nimrod is not a star, nor angel. Genesis 10:6-10

"And the sons of Ham; Cush, And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel."

Nimrod was a grandson of Ham, and a great grandson of Noah. Angels cannot procreate. Angels are the lights in the firmament. That is their job to shine as bright lights and God said, "Let them be for signs, and for seasons." When sent to earth, they are called angels and look like human men.

"And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

The shepherds saw the bright light and then the angel appeared as a man, and later a multitude of the heavenly host came. Gabriel appeared to Mary and Joseph as a human in appearance, but as a star for the wise men.

Satan was the chief star who led a third of the stars in rebellion.

 

[The Light]

Evidence of this?

Do you know nothing of the Babylonian religion that is all over the earth?

Do you not understand that Nimrod is Baal?.....................among many others such as Marduk, Mithra, Osiris, Gilgamesh, Adonis, Zoroaster, Bacchus etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Nimrod is the king of Babylon being discussed in Isaiah 14. He is also the Assyrian.

A few searches should tell you where the origin of sun worship comes from.

 

[The Light]

Nimrod is not a star, nor angel. Genesis 10:6-10

Nimrod is Baal and many other sun gods.

 

[ewq1938]

Do you know nothing of the Babylonian religion that is all over the earth?

Do you not know how to answer a question? I asked for the evidence that Nimrod is the daystar. Either provide it or admit there isn't any.

 

[The Light]

Do you not know how to answer a question? I asked for the evidence that Nimrod is the daystar. Either provide it or admit there isn't any.

Since you obviously have no understanding of the Babylonian religion that is all over the world that has fooled the world what would convince you? You don't understand that the Nimrod is claimed to have become the sun at his death. You don't understand that the false trinity is Nimrod the sun, Semiramis the moon, and Tammuz the star, the FALSE SAVIOR.

Do you understand that the Church of Rome is based off of the religion of the Egyptians and others? They took Christianity and merged paganism into to it. Osiris, Isis and Horus are Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz. There is a sun wheel and obelisk at the Vatican showing the wolf in sheep's clothing.

What do you think is going on in the world? They are waiting for the false savior. Why is the eye of Horus on the back of the dollar bill? There is a one world government and one world religion coming. The thing that hath been is that which shall be and that which is done is that which shall be done. Nimrod will return........shortly. He is the eighth that is of the seven. He is the beast of the sea that was and is not and will come again.

The beast of the earth is also coming and is here and not yet revealed. He will be given the stephanos crown, which likely means that he will become the Secretary General of the UN.

As far as answering your question directly I will think on it and get back to you. You seem oblivious to what is happening in the world. For now, a short answer is that Nimrod is the sun in the Babylonian religion. The sun is the day star. Most of the religions of the world are based on the male sun god, the female moon god and the son, FALSE SAVIOR, the star. If you look at Hinduism, Taoism, Shintoism, Zoro asterism, they are all based on the false trinity of the sun, moon and stars.

Just a note. Islam is not based on the male sun god. It is based on the moon god being male.

The Babylonian religion is the hammer of the whole earth. They will be judged. Fallen, fallen is Babylon.

Jeremiah 50
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

I will try to figure out how to answer your question directly........with proof. However, you should be able to look all over the world and see the pyramids that are evidence of this false religion. The world has their false savior.

"Reformed Theologians" covers a large group, and so they contend a lot of "diverse" things, not all of them Biblical. So you can't just generalize and say Reformed Theologians believe this or that whether some are preterists, some are amillennialists, some are dispensationalists, etc. They are just like any other group of theologians, they have different views and interpretations. By contrast, the Word of God has only ONE view. God's view of what the little horn is. And that is where wise men go to get their answers.

Psalms 119:104-105

• "Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
• Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

God's word is the path to understanding, comparing scripture with scripture is the methodology that will lead to truth.
So I ask you again, do YOU know God's definition of the horns in Scripture? Can you find some scripture and explain it yourself? Yes or no? Not parroting Preterists' school of thought, men's commentary, etc.

A continuing surfeit of hyperspiritualized bilge and bunk.

There is a high probability that this is nothing more than a modernist variant of the ancient cults of docetism and gnosticism, which at their core denied physical realities, and against which John explicitly warned. 1 John 4:1-2; 2 John 1:7.

That which denies the realities of the literal suffering and sacrifice of the Defenders of the True Faith throughout history at the hands of antichrists, e.g. the little horn, is itself a clear and unmistakable manifestation of antichrist.

 

[ewq1938]

As far as answering your question directly I will think on it and get back to you. You seem oblivious to what is happening in the world.

No, it's more that you say things you can't prove which is why you couldn't provide an answer and why you decided to just make empty insults like this and fluff the entire post wasting everyone's time.

 

[TribulationSigns]

I wish you good luck in your search for the antichrist. However, you should be aware that many before you have searched for a single person to fulfill this role, only to be disappointed. Your desperate search for physical fulfillment in the Middle East reveals your flawed doctrine.

 

[covenantee]

I wish you good luck in your search for the antichrist. However, you should be aware that many before you have searched for a single person to fulfill this role, only to be disappointed. Your desperate search for physical fulfillment in the Middle East reveals your flawed doctrine.

No search necessary. There were already many antichrists when John wrote. The little horn was the predominant one of its era, against which God ultimately called the Reformers into spiritual battle, and against which they prevailed through His grace and mercy. There have been many antichrists since, and will always be many.

The only desperation is your futile attempts to deny the literal reality of antichrists, and God's provision and resources to overcome them.

 

[ewq1938]

I wish you good luck in your search for the antichrist. However, you should be aware that many before you have searched for a single person to fulfill this role, only to be disappointed.

The opposite is true. All should be aware that many before you have denied a single person to fulfill this role, only to be proven wrong by scripture.


John spoke of a singular and particular antichrist who was to yet come:


1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

He says "now" there were many antichrists but does specifically speak of one certain antichrist (singular) that was yet to come (future arrival) which means John believed there was a future Antichrist. This is known as "the Antichrist" which is a specific Antichrist (also the last one) among all those who are antichrists.

John does not say how far into the future that this specific Antichrist would come but he did speak in the future tense.


Paul spoke of this same singular evil person using different names:

2 Thessalonians 2:3 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;
2 Thessalonians 2:4 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.
2 Thessalonians 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
2 Thessalonians 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2 Thessalonians 2:8 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:
2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

John writes of this same singular antichrist person calling him different names/terms in the book of Revelation, the false prophet and the (second) beast.

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
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,
Rev 13:14 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;

Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

What name or term used to describe this singular evil person is irrelevant because many names are used whether Antichrist, false prophet, (second) beast, man of sin, that Wicked, the son of perdition, the little horn, abomination of desolation and so on. It's all speaking of the same individual who will reign the world during the great tribulation and claim to be God and perform miracles and wonders.

The concept of a future singular "antichrist" person is biblical. Who this person is has been debated very much, but denying that there is a future singular antichrist denies what scripture tells us.

 

[Timtofly]

Nimrod is Baal and many other sun gods.

So you choose some 19th century fictional account by some human over God's Word? I suppose next you will claim President Lincoln was a vampire slayer? That is about how random your view is, compared to even pagan beliefs.

Most pagan beliefs of that sort are a pre-emptive or entirely false narrative by Satan to discredit the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. Seems you have fallen prey to some bizarre future fantasy fiction even worse than the "left behind" series.

Even the hard evidence found in ancient tablets that some humans hold as historical accounts like Gilgamesh don't explain this scenario. What Moses was told to write down as God's Word is not always easy to mesh with interpretations of ancient writings. Gilgamesh is probably Nimrod, but with an exaggerated flair to the legendary with similarity as also shown by those who claim Lincoln was a vampire slayer.

Nimrod was a human as was Abraham Lincoln. Vampires are fiction just as gods and goddesses are fictional characters from the minds of humans or not. Probably from Satan, but gullible humans ran with them.
