Редактор субтитров А. Синецкая Корректор А. Кулакова Did you know that the United States is flirting with the Antichrist spirit? I want you to stay with me. This is a very important message. But let me share a few things with you up front, sort of as an introduction. More people are beginning to understand, or desire to understand, what the Bible teaches about prophetic events, because we are living in the age when many prophecies that were recorded sometimes 2000 to 3 to 4,000 years ago are beginning to either

appear to take place or some of them are aligning to take place and some have taken place So one of the things that's happening is people now have social media where they can be social media posts they have Videos through different types of social media formats that they can watch We now have online churches. I know that we have a Tuesday night service at the Omega Center International, which goes online every Tuesday. There are now resources available that were never available before. In fact, our entire ministry for almost 49 years has been built on audio and video and printed resources to make them available to the people to help keep our ministry going and also to give them a tool in their hands that they can learn fresh inside of information on. Now I went and looked up some statistics the other day and I thought you know I thought these were very interesting about here in the United States of America what people actually believe. Now, according to this poll research, there were 39% of Americans that believe we are living in the end times of the time of the end. So that's 39%. I would suggest to you that probably 20 years ago that number was a little higher. But what is happening is you have the older generation that believed in prophecy. They followed men like Jack Van Ampe, Hal Lindsay, some of the, what we call them, the grandfather's of modern day prophetic teaching because they revived it. David Wilkerson was another one and a lot of them have gone to be with the Lord. So those that really followed prophecy have gone to be with with the Lord, I know in our partnership, we've had about 40% of our original partners that are now with Jesus. So that's why that number may be hanging around 39%. As I said, I'm gonna go that believe in the intimes. Now, 55% of Americans believe in the return of Jesus Christ. Now, out of that 55%, not all of them believe what is called the rapture, some of them believe in just a return at the end of the tribulation or at different times. That's a pretty high number. I don't understand how 39 can per se that we believe in the end times. 55% say they believe in the return of the Lord, but apparently they don't believe, at least let's say it looks to me like maybe 14 percent don't believe that we're in the actual time when Jesus is going to come back. According to that statistic, that's what it's showing. Most Christians that I have met believe in the Antichrist. He is a person, he will appear at the time of the end. He will be revealed in his own time. He will form a coalition of ten nations who will work under him. He will also align himself with someone called the false prophet. This is in Revelation chapter 13. False prophet will initiate a mark for a buying and selling known as the Mark of the Beast. But what we're dealing with today is not the Antichrist himself. What we're dealing with today is what we call the spirit of Antichrist. Now, when I talk about the spirit of Antichrist, I'm not talking about the Antichrist as a body, soul, and spirit, which he is, he's a man, and that the spirit is the spirit in that man that's not what we're talking about. Let me explain to you about the spirit of Antichrist. You often hear people talk about the spirit of Elijah. These are the days of Elijah, Judy Jacobs saying that beautiful song. And the reason we talk about the spirit of Elijah, let's just go through this quick, this will help explain something that some of you may have a question on. There was a man called Elijah's first Kings chapter 17 through second Kings chapter 2. He was according to scripture the scripture transported alive into the heavens in a chariot of fire. I don't believe that's metaphorical, I believe it actually happened. He will also return at the end of days according to the book of Malachi chapter 4 verse 5 to be one of the two witnesses alluded to in Revelation 11 and will appear in Israel and there he will be slain by the anacross after 42 months So there's the man Elijah is in heaven being preserved till that time Then there's what's called the spirit of Elijah now John the Baptist father when he heard he was going to have a son The angel of Gabriel said to him he will come in the spirit and power of Elijah, Luke 117. Some people believed he was Elijah, but he was not Elijah because they asked him, are you Elijah? He said, no, I'm the voice of one crying in the wilderness, saying, prepare the way of the Lord. He came in the same power or authority of Elijah. That's Luke 117. So that's called the spirit of Elijah, we would say the anointing of Elijah. Now, you know, that in as I said a moment ago in the book of Malachi, it's very interesting because he talks about I was sent to you Elijah, the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord who returned the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. So another example we can find in Jude verse 11 that deals with this idea of the spirit of a person. Now again, not the spirit dwelling in their body, but the characteristics of that person is Jude verse 11. In Jude 11 it speaks of Cain, Cora and Bailem, and it speaks of all three of these individuals, these Old Testament persons who actually lived very negatively. Cain became jealous over his brother Abel's offering and slew him and murdered him. Cora on the other hand was jealous of the position that Aaron received and he was jealous for the priesthood. He actually wanted to be the head priest of Israel. Then Bailem, if we read his story in the book of numbers, he had a gift where he could prophesy things and it would happen. And he compromised that gift. And so when we talk about the Spirit of Cain, we're talking about people that are jealous over other people's blessing. When we talk about the spirit of core of what we're talking about is someone who is jealous over ministry positions and Will manipulate and can I their way into the top in without God being a part of it at all? When we talk about bail and basically bail and was known as a compromiser we're talking about the spirit of compromise Now what I want do now is I'm going to go to the New Testament and I want to begin to show you some scriptures. They'll come up on the screen. They'll be, I believe I have three or four of them here. And I want you to look at these very carefully and look at what it says here. These are all verses about the Antichrist. And Antichrist Christ Christ is the Greek This Greek word for Christ and it actually means the anointed one. The Hebrew equivalent to it would be Mashiach Messiah which again means anointed one. But the Antichristos is the Antichrist. Now John who wrote St. John's Gospel, 1st, 3rd John, and also wrote the Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation, is the person that scholars believe actually coined, when I say coined, that means, came up with this word antichrist. Listen to what it says. Little children, it is the last hour, and as you know, you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many Antichrist have come by which we know that it is the last hour. And then another verse is here, who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ, he is the Antichrist that denies the Father and the Son, that's 1 John 2, 22. Here's the third verse.. Every spirit that confesses is not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, is not of God, and this is the spirit of Antichrist, wherever you have heard that it should come, and even now already is in the world. The 4th verse, the 2nd John chapter, 2nd John verse 7. For many deceivers are entered into the world who confess not that Jesus Christ is coming the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. So here's what I want to say. If you want to know the definition of what the term antichrist means, And if you want to know what the Spirit of Antichrist is, these four verses will clearly reveal it to you. First of all, you know, America is definitely, you know, flirting with that spirit. But there's some things I want to tell you. Let's look at this carefully. Who is the Antichrist? First of all, he is the man. Because the New Testament, when it deals with with the Antichrist uses the pronouns he or him. And it also teaches the Second Thessalonians too that the Antichrist is going to be revealed in his time. There's a set time for him to be revealed. Number two, the Antichrist believes that Jesus is not the Son of God. That's one of the key points that the Apostle John pointed out in this passage is the Antichrist will deny Jesus as the Son of God. Now there are major religions in the world, many of them in the Middle East, not true Christianity but other religions that say that Jesus is not the Son of God. The Antichrist believes or has a belief that denies the relationship of the Father and the Son. For example, Jesus is not the Son of God according to this belief, so therefore he has no relationship to God the Father. He's only a prophet or a good teacher. Then the belief teaches us, and this is all of these four scriptures I just shared with you, that Jesus never came in the flesh. Now there are some people in the time of the early church they were considered heretics, but they actually believed that Jesus came in the form of an angel, the way angels appeared in Genesis 19 in the Old Testament, so he was an angel in the flesh. No, he was all a man, he was all. He is called in Scripture the Son of God. But in the text, this America is flirting with the spirit of Antichrist. What's the spirit of Antichrist? It's the things I just now named. For example, more Americans are now believing that Jesus was only a great teacher. Just like any other great religious teacher. Now the problem with that theory is, I can't find that all of the other religions in the world had teachers that could absolutely raise the dead or perform miracles. So how can Jesus simply be another teacher of many teachers when he confirmed who he was by signs and wonders and miracles. Show me any other religious teacher that walked on water. Show me any other religious teacher that could literally raise the dead. Show me any other religious teacher who could open up deaf ears, cause those that could not speak to speak and perform the miracles he performed. Show me another teacher that could turn water to wine. I mean, we could go on and on.

Show me another religious teacher

that could multiply bread and fish and feed a multitude. So Jesus is not just one of the great teachers. He is far above that. Then we hear people today flirting with the spirit of Antichrist, not only in America, but Canada. All the parts of the world, we hear them say, Jesus is not the only way to heaven. I have a question for you. If Jesus Christ is not the only way to heaven and religions that are older than Christianity existed before the time of Christ and religions existed, 5, 6, and 7th century that renew religion after the time of Christ, here's my question for you. If Jesus is not the only way, why even send him to the earth? What was the whole purpose of sending Christ 30 years of age to begin his ministry? 3 and a half years to preach and teach, have him crucified, buried, and raised from the dead if there was not a divine purpose for it. Because if another religion could get me to heaven, God would have never had to send Jesus. If any other world religion prior to or thereafter Christianity was sufficient, Jesus would have never had to come to earth. Because Jesus had to come to earth to bring redemption to mankind. The third, and I called this spirit of antichrist arguments very clear, and I'm just in scripture, folks, if you've never heard this, is to deny that Jesus is a son of God. Now, this is a really big issue. Yet Gabriel in the book of Luke said, he shall be called the Son of God, the man of Godero, the demons that possessed them and called him the Son of God.

I know who you are, the Son of God, the centurion at the cross when Christ was dying and breathed His last breath that truly this was the Son of God. So I had something interesting happening in Jerusalem when I want to share this with you. Sometime ago when we were on a holy trip, we were taping on the Mount of Olives and I a distinguished Muslim gentleman come up to me and he was listening attently.

My message that... Sometime ago when we were on a holy trip we were taping on the Mount of Olives and I had a distinguished Muslim

General come up to me. He was listening intently. My message that day was on the power of the blood of Jesus and the power of the blood of Jesus to forgive sin. Well, I had mentioned Jesus being the son of God and he wasn't belligerent anyway. He said, sir, I'd like to talk to you and ask you some questions.

I said absolutely.

First, I told him that I did have a lot of Muslim friends in the Middle East.

And just to kind of get off on a good foot, there you might say. So he says, I do not understand this about the blood of Jesus and forgiveness of sins and him being the Son of God. And I said, okay, I'm a father and this is what I told him. I'm a father. I have a son named Jonathan. What makes Jonathan my Jonathan my son. Number one, he carries my blood because they can prove who the actual father of a child is by blood testing because he carries the same somehow the DNA. So he carries my blood. The second thing he carries is my name. His last name is stone. My last name is stone. So he carries my name. He is my son because he has my blood and he carries my name. I said, thirdly, he looks like me. Now, not all sons may look like their biological father, but I said he has my look. People say, look, that looks like Perry when he was younger. And I said, fourthly, he has my love. He cannot get away from my love. I love him and he loves me.

And then I said to the man, this is what makes Jesus the Son of God. Number one is the blood. I said, the Quran even teaches that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary. Is that right? He said, yes. He said, I've been Mary, she was a virgin. I said, where did the blood come from? and he looked puzzled and I said,

no, think about this.

It takes the seat of a man to help create

the blood type of the child looked puzzled and I said, now think about this. It takes the seat of a man to help create the blood type

of the child and Mary was a virgin. She did not know a man. You even said the Holy Spirit blew on her. We believe that the Holy Spirit overshadowed her. It looked puzzled for a moment. I said, so his blood was special. I said, if Olympians 2.19, it said that God gave him a name. That's above every name that at his name,

every knee should bound confess that he is Lord.

And also Jesus talked about how he came to exalt the Father and the Father exalted him and you must pray to the Father in his name. So the name of the Almighty God is connected with the name Yeshua or Jesus. I said number three. This is interesting. John 14 verse nine, Jesus said this, he that has seen me has seen the Father. He carried the Father's look. Now not necessarily physically because God is a Spirit. But what Jesus was saying is this, when you see me forgive a woman in adultery, I'm doing the works of my Father. When you see me take someone and tell them

they're sinnest forgiven and heal them,

you are seeing the father.

In other words, you had a perception of God

under the old covenant, under the Old Testament,

that he's always mad and he was always angry.
