John (1John2:18) likened persons who exhibited the same nature as the coming Antichrist singular person as being "antichrists". Such persons in 1John2:22-23 denied that Jesus is the Christ, and also denied the Father and the Son relationship.

There is going to be only one actual Antichrist person who will be anointed the King of Israel, thought-to-be messiah instead of the true messiah Jesus. That person has to be a Jew.
INTERFAITH came of the PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL mindset . just thought you should know that doug .
SOMEONE is decieving us my friend . Someone be a wolf in wool
and the nar prophets pushed that wolf RIGHT UNTO the churches . HAD TOO .
THe goal was to silence the voice of true evanglism . HOW does one decieve doug .
What is the best way to decieve doug . YA come from WITHIN . YOU COME FROM WITHIN .
YOU behave as though you believe like the people , but you twist the lie unto them . WE BEEN DUPED .

Perhaps . but beware for many jews already lead in and agree to the peace pact of that which is of anti christ
and that be interfaith .
YOU WANNA KNOW the fastest growing LIE
that is amongst the jews , christains , muslims , buddists , hindus , the religoins .
THAT WE ALL SERVE THE SAME GOD in different ways . MY ADVICE HAVE SQUAT TO DO
with THE VATICAN LED INTERFAITH , WHICH IS NOW the JEWISH LED INTERFAITH
WHICH IS NOW even the muslim led and other religon led INTERFAITH
and GUESS WHAT DOUG , TRUMP AND VANCE DO IT TOO . ITS ALL OVER THE PLACE .
MEN are DECIEVING US and too many TRUST AND HOPE IN MAN and thus are CURSED . we better bible up doug .
Whatever effect that the interfaith movement will have - it will not stop the Ezekiel 38-39 attack on Israel by a group of muslim nations
and Russia.

After that event, and Gog's armies destroyed, will be the 7 years that will begin with the Antichrist person anointed the King of Israel, thought-to-be messiah.

sure looks like a real familiar time line . one that MEN , and i must say with love , decieved men taught .
though partial truths are always present .
HERE IS THE TIME LINE we are on
INQUITY IS SKY ROCKETING , most of even christendom has fallen away to the false love lie
And more and more are believing this lie and that this is the solutoin to usher in PEACE N SAFETY .
SO HERE IS THE TIME LINE we are on my dear dear friend .
FOR WHEN THEY SHALL SAY PEACE N SAFETY , THEN SUDDEN DESTRUCTION COMETH UPON THEM ALL and they shall not escape .
THE DOORS GONNA SHUT and on that day ALL OUTSIDE gonna wail , howl , beg , wish to die , plead and plead
and thier false interfiath god WONT be able to save them . DENIAL OF JESUS COMETH OF ANTI CHRIST
and they chose to follow interfaith and did so loving a lie and thus will BE DAMNED . watch out
cause TRUMP LEADS IN IT TOO . time to trust not in man but IN GOD , IN CHRIST and get so so deep into that bible
just a loving and a loving what is written for our own learning .

The world saying "peace and safety" will be in the false messianic age delusion, brought on by the Antichrist, King of Israel, thought to be messiah. (peace and safety, false messianic age, on my chart below, for Stage 3 of the little horn person)

Whose temple is this . And we are not our own . our body IS NOT even ours . WE have been bought with a price .
SO why would any man offer up their body to a mark that ENABLES THEM to buy or to sell
and yet that mark came FROM THE MOST GOD DENYING , CHRIST DENYING system and body of men to have lived .
SOMETHING IS DEAD WRONG .
You see its one thing to have a metal pin or plate put into our body by medicine . quite another
to have a form of ID that cometh of men of anti christ of wicked GOD denying , false all inclusive system
WHETHER or not it cometh in as a chip or tattoe .
TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING . if they desire to put that ON the temple , the body , whose body is not even our own .
They have things like this arleady in phones , and etc . BUT NOT YET has it been offered to be put into the body .
WHEN IT DO REJECT THE PIECE OF DUNG UNHLY WICKED THING for what it is .
I DONT NEED satans anti christ chip or tattoe junk so i can eat . THE LORD has me . HE will be with me and shall feed
me as i have need . BUT the kicker is they have even the power now
to enforce this even without a chip or tattoe upon our body . SO the key is
DO NOTHING , CONFORM TO NOTHING , AGREE TO NOTHING , contrary to GOD . LOYALTY TO GOD
that be the key . either one is loyal to GOD or SATAN , TO CHRIST or anti christ but it cannot be both . hard times are coming .
Now i kinda think , BUT DO NOT KNOW , they will try and chip or tatooe us , DUE TO THEFACT
i watched them do so almost five years ago on stage and all the major phone and credit card companies were present .
SO WHY would they do that . UNLESS they were trying to get us used to the idea and the banks , and etc IN LINE
with this process . ALL i know is that nasty thing aint going anywhere in my body .
Just like with the mask mandates (it was bs) and it had nothing to do with real medicine but it was used across the global landscape to measure peoples compliance to what was evil. So I do think of these as test runs (so to speak).

I have heard the arguments for spiritual marks, but I couldnt make that work across the board, but in short if we are talking believers in Christ they have this seal by the Spirit. And the very reason the world cannot receive him is because it seeth Him not (we know we are not alone) even as Jesus knew that he was not alone. The world on the other hand is not spiritual (or spiritually minded, but rather carnally minded, beasts in their own right) but also have a "he" in them. They go by the sight of their eyes, that's the world's MO anyway, is what pertains to its eyes (the eyes of a man, for example, the lusts thereof). Lust of the eyes. So if an evil global system emerges (whether it appears as an angel of light, of peace, and of safety etc) it would have dominion over the permissions in this case. It could, for example refuse you or grant you the permissions to buy or sell (and apparently this is somehow be linked to a mark on one's hand or forehead). So its not the typical money (that we use to buy or sell) but is kind of a middle man agency (type thing) which apparently permits or dissallows people the ability to do what it typically can with currency but can if you have right of way to do so. Which to me tells me it needs to be visible (to them whose sight is linked to the carnal nature).

I cannot spiritualize the mark away understanding at least that. I am still not clear on things, I just think about them and try to get a better hold on them as I am able.

sorry but both the pope , trump and imams and other merged religious leaders
are already preaching the peace of anti christ which will merge and soon merge the tribes
to gather as one under anti christ . Look i know you hope in trump . but its time to abandon all hope in man .
Time we simply trust and hope IN GOD , IN HIS CHRIST . cause the delusion of the inclusion will
take all whose hope was in men to the lie of anti christ . NOT what you wanted to hear or beleive ....
But friend what kind of friend would i be to have left you hoping in trump or any man . NOT A GOOD FRIEND that is for sure
and for certain . But NEvER ever , ever , ever put your hope in the liberal progressive leftist .
As i am sure you would agree my friend . BUT reader beware and do beware greatly
THAT INTERFIATH IS OF THE PROGRESSIVE LEFTIST LIBERAL AGENDA . WE BEEN DUPED my friend .

So lets examine what is going right now .
The most progressive liberal anti christ system is fast forming .
And their beloved AI will run this digital GOD HATING SYSTEM .
What do we notice about this system and about todays ever growing inclusive mindset .
People who dont conform are already being targeted as haters , some even taken to courts .
What do we notice about this so called digital system
that the so called UN and others talked about . WHAT DID THEY SAY .
We understand that in this system it can target the people . This system can SHUT OUT ANYONE and they are unable to buy or sell .
THEMS THEIR OWN WORDS . now of course these most progressive elite liberals
MAKE the cliam they gonna make real sure that cannot happen . BUT I CALL DUNG
you see they are gonna use it . its just the ones they target
will be already seen as non loving to society , as haters , as even potential terroists and dangerous .
NOW back to another question . HAVE You ever watched this AI in action .
LET ME TELL you what i seen . and you SEE if you see yet another connection .
A lady stood on stage . THEN beside her appeared her AI image . THIS IMAGE
was not her , not did it mimic her talking . IT SPOKE all on its own and can speak IN ANY LANGAUGE .
NOW do keep in mind that AI will be the one running the DIGITAL SYSTEM .
DO keep in mind it can appear in any IMAGE and SPEAK any langauge .
AND NOW a word
ANd he had power to give LIFE unto the image of the beast so as the image could SPEAK
and what do that image do , sets up something , is tied into something
which is no man has HE NO BUY HE NO SELL . ITS COMING FRIEND . ITS HERE
and AI , INTERFIATH , this whole world is being groomed FOR IT . JESUS HAS BEEN DENIED
and worse the churches of INTERFAITH all inclusive love SEEM TO LOVE to have it so .
SOMETHING VERY WICKED IS and HARSH TIMES be a coming against the saints . BUT GOD WILL END IT ALL
on HIS DAY .

The bible does not speak about a interfaith movement.

What the bible does speak about is the Gog/Magog event in Ezekiel 38-39 and what follows in Ezekiel 39.

There are various scenarios I have ran through my mind over the years, and in some of them the mark being physical can sometimes not make sense either. In order to have one line of reasoning fit perfectly in any perspective of it you need to omit something. And visa versa, every theory leaves out something (or more than) in their comparisons, which if taken at face value sound pretty put together on the surface but what is left out (when you look, its no wonder it was) because it doesn't seem to fit.

I do try not to jump to conclusions but wait on the Lord with it.

money is still money friend . the mark is surely tied into buying and selling
as in they will be UNABLE TO DO SO whoever dont take the mark .
pepper do come back and answer the earlier questions i left . Lets make clear this matter upon questions
and answers by both parties . cause we sure do not want to condemn those who did no wrong .
sure dont want to falsey accuse those who did not wrong . rather we need to rebuke and correct those WHO DO WRONG .

correct my friend i have made no conclusions either .
well except for this . and what i write next is a fact .
Interfaith is that which is of anti christ to lead all to the lie unto Anti christ .
By peace shall he destroy many . Interfaith is of anti christ to lead this people to Anti christ.

Oh its true you never claimed to be a solider of any president
but come now doug and let us reason together shall we . REMEMBER HE whose hope be in man is cursed . CURSED
But HE whose hope be in GOD is blessed , BLESSED . Do not heed the lips of men
who put our trust into a man
and who by that mans version of peace which is of interfaith
which is of anti christ to lead all to the lie . BOTH sides are soliders of it . TRUST IN NEITHER SIDE .
They duping every last one of humanity . And christendom has fallen prey to the lie itself . The lie tha will damn all and save none .
The trogan horse of peace n safety has been brought unto the doors of christendom
and men see such a beautfiul magnificent creature . but know not the death that lies within
and that its ways are the ways to lead the dead to the second death . SO
it might be true ya NEVER claimed to be a solider of any paticular president
But ya aint never said ya aint either . And by them actions i seen in times past
i just bets i aint too far off the mark my friend .

I tend to think that the power to buy and sell...to choose that thus honouring government mandates rather than be homeless and jobless, being that to provide for oneself as opposed to full dependence upon God, is going to be used as incentive to compel people to submit to papal control. The power to buy and sell is therefore a reward for obedience to a church/ state mandated command convening worship. Just as the papacy did during its heyday in the dark ages, using the royal crowns of Europe as weapons to control the population under Catholic domination.
Revelation 13 and 14 is all about worshipping according to government laws. Laws that reflect the wishes of the Antichrist, thus the term, Mark of the antichrist. It is a mark that you recognise, whether a choice of conscience (the forehead) or from a sense of necessity in order to survive(the hamd) matters not. Either way the union of church and state as revealed for the last days wins your allegiance.
How to avoid receiving the mark of the beast? Receive the seal of God. Leave no room in your mind and heart for another form of allegiance.
