a ministry of Old Pass Baptist Church in Northfield, Minnesota. We're live. It is 2.13 p.m. Central Time. It is Monday or Monday if you're from weird places like Minnesota. Anyway, and we're live here and I hope you had a good weekend. I had a very busy weekend studying and preparing and planning and going through all kinds of stuff to get ready for, excuse me, Europe and all that stuff. We've got the the lodging taken care of for Well, we have it reserved We have the lodging reserved for London and I may have to skip Wales As I'm looking through everything. I think there's a good possibility that That We're going to have to skip Wales and go straight to Scotland. And, uh, because for sake of time and also I want to cover the Haldane brothers in Scotland. And, uh, I don't know if Ross and Claire Duncan are on here right now from the clan Duncan. I don't know if they are, but, uh, I think that's the direction that I'm going to go. I'm going to skip Wales for sake of time because we're going to have to go to Bristol. And I've got to have time to do that. I also found some more stops that I want to go to. There's an abortion clinic that's over in London somewhere. I'll figure that out. And they keep like arresting people for getting in that zone. So naturally I want to go there. Even if I stay outside of the zone and I say, I'm a dumb American and I just have some questions for you because I'm from America. So we don't really get arrested all the time. Like for speaking in public, like you know, or praying in public. We don't, we generally, we generally don't get arrested for that. That's why we kicked the King's butt back to England and all his troops and sent him back. But anyway, that's another story altogether. And yes, we did win. But anyway, that's, that's the reason why. So, Okay, I had to I had to do that I had to just kind of drop that in there I Had to drop that in there, okay anyway So Here's the thing I wanna stop there and I wanna ask them, like I'm gonna go to Speaker's Corner by the grace of God and I wanna preach, I wanna go there and I wanna talk to people at Speaker's Corner. So there's a lot of different stops that I need to make along the way and I have to be careful about time. We may have to fly back out of Scotland Out of Glasgow. We may have to do that. Because. The. I don't know how much time I'm going to have, so I have to move quick in some, some places. So anyway, we may have to fly out of Glasgow to Scotland. No, that's the wrong way. Sorry. Glasgow to, uh, England, London, Heathrow, whatever. We'll see. Even if we have to fly out late out of Scotland and sleep at the airport for a few hours and leave. That's the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario is that we would have to fly out of Scotland, take a red-eye flight, spend about five or six hours in the airport and then get on an eight hour flight and go to sleep all the way there back home, which to me is fine. I would rather stay in Scotland longer and fly out later and spend that time with Ross. I don't really care about sleeping in a like in a hotel. I mean a um, An airport for four or five hours. It's not really that big of a deal or five or six or whatever. It's not that big of a deal. I'm going home at that point. It's not, it would be fine if we had to. That's the worst case, but it's fine. We can do it. So. I don't miss. Oh two. I have no idea what you're saying. It just all is like mumble jumble. I think you need to gather your thoughts. So anyway, um, That's kind of what I, I've done it before too. I did it last time and I'm with my wife and I really, it's not ideal, but the only way it's ideal is if I can spend the most time in Scotland, take a late flight from Glasgow to Heathrow and just be like, well, we're going home anyway. We'll sleep eight hours on the flight. We'll be exhausted. We'll fall asleep and get back home rested. That's the way I look at it. I mean, I, I, I don't think it's going to be that big of a deal. Believe me, my wife and I have been in rougher spots than that before. Way, way, way rougher spots than that before. Trust me. So that's how I'm thinking because then I could stay Friday all day in Scotland. Ross could drop us off at the airport. Okay? Ross could drop us off at the airport. And then we could just fly out. I mean, we could rest. in the it's not that big of a deal. It isn't really. So anyway, yes, Ross. So I don't know if you've heard what I've been saying, but that's kind of what it gives me. I'm telling you, it's going to give me, I think it's going to give me more time in Scotland. We just have to figure out the stops. We're going to do a lot of driving in Scotland. I have a feeling so because of that, It's better that we fly out of there, I think. Okay, perfect. Andrew says 8 p.m. is the latest flight out of Glasgow. 1.5 hour flight gets us landing in at 10. We have an international flight though also, so we have to be back at the airport in two hours. Right, that's what I'm saying. at the airport by 6.30. Anyway, we're almost better off just camping out at the airport for four or five hours. That's what I think. Personally, that's what I think. And then crash it out on the plane on the way home. Not crash it, that's a bad, that's kind of a bad analogy, sorry. That's really a bad analogy. So if we planned on taking the eight, the 8 p.m. flight out of Costco. And then landed at 9.30. By the time we got down to our luggage, got it up, got ready, we had to be back at the airport anyway by 6.30 to check into an international flight to go home. To me, it's I don't want to spend, I don't want to spend two or 300 bucks on a hotel room. Just for five or six hours. I don't want to do that. We're better off. We're better off just hanging out there. I think it'd be fine. Cause if you figure the time limit, it's the last stretch. It's the home stretch. We're done. Ross, I'm going to record everything you and Claire say so I can listen to it back. My children want to hear, they just want to hear you two talk. That's, I just want to hear it. I just want to hear it too. Like when she said that time that she was cross at me, that was awesome. Yeah. I was like, does that mean you were mad at me? Yes. Oh, that's great. Oh, that's funny. That is funny. Anyway, so that I think is a better, a better plan. So you pray for us so we can get everything done that needs to get done at that time period. It'll be better off. Yeah. You guys will be speaking in tongues. I won't understand what you're saying. Okay, miss o2 says don't care the point the point is I'm talking and you're not that's the point woman And if you don't like it tough What do you think about that So anyway Now that we have that understanding We keep going Alright, so pray for us about all that as we put these spots together when we're in Scotland or before we get there Ross and Claire gonna be doing the groundwork there. They're already beginning. They're gonna get started and doing all that groundwork Okay, all that footwork that it takes to to be able to put all this together Harry's working to help me Over there in in England and brother Andrew and I We're working I'm studying like crazy, putting things together, praying and asking God to provide things. By the way, by the way, I think, I think it's, I think it really is a miracle. I think don't name your kid after the thing. I have no idea what that means. Like that's like, that's like tripping on acid speech. I have no idea what you're even saying, okay? You're not being coherent. You really shouldn't type things if you don't know what you're saying, because it's not coherent, okay? Try to be coherent when you type things out, all right? you'll be better off. Okay. That's over on YouTube in case you rumble folks are, which is really weird. By the way, I think the algorithms are messed up. I think my, I have a theory that when we, when we send out a signal through restream to rumble and to, um, YouTube, I think I'm pretty sure they, they messed with those algorithms. So anyway, I think both of them get mad at each other because I've never had 13 people in my life on rumble on a stream. So something's going on there. I don't know what it is. We'll have to figure that out. Let's see. Hari's texted me. All right, Hari's texting me about the parking. Yeah, they said I could get it cheaper through the hotel over there, which will be mostly where we'll be at. But anyway. Definitely makes no sense as far as the stream goes, uh, why that's doing that like that. But anyway, it is what it is, right? So we are putting together all those fun things. Oh, I wanted to share a blessing with you. Okay. Because now right now. Right now we were able to, by the grace of God, we ordered the plane tickets last week. We ordered the first set of lodging for London last week. So the Lord allowed me to pay off $5,500 of what we owe. So we're about 1,500 short right now to pay everything up to date, everything we've done so far. So praise the Lord. I just want to give God the glory for that, that we have paid $5,500, okay? And it's about half and half. Half has come from online, the other half has come from you know, giving through Old Pass Baptist Church. Just, it wasn't, you know, set up for that. It was just general offering, general giving, which generally when the bills are paid, whatever's left over goes to me, but I used that instead. I used it for the trip. So, we praised the Lord, we paid the rent, we paid the bills on the first, that are due on the first, and whatever was left over, I just used for the trip. So, um, we need about 1500 to pay up to date for everything else right now. So praise the Lord for old past Baptist church and their giving. And also for you, Oh, PBC online givers that have, uh, given, uh, we haven't had, um, you know, uh, A bunch, like we've had a couple people that have really two or three people that have really, uh, or probably four or five, maybe three or four. Um, but. The amount doesn't matter. It's the purpose, you know, it's the desire to help and the prayers, you know, so I appreciate the prayers. I told you God answers that prayer and it never fails. When God leads me to do something, he always pays for it. And that's why I tell you to pray for others. You know, that if you can't give anything that, that God would pray, that God would speak, uh, that God would speak to others' hearts that are in a position to give and that they could. Okay. So, and that's what we've watched. That's what we've seen happen over and over again. And we know that God will continue to provide and continue to meet our needs. And we thank God for it. So, well, I hope you're not having, let's see. Anyway, so thank the Lord for that. And there you go. If you're looking at the screen right there, you can see how you can give and do all those things over there. Okay. PayPal, SalvationPreacher at gmail.com, Venmo, PastorCooley.icloud.com, Apple Pay, And all that good stuff, okay? And then if not, you can mail something to 1030 South or Highway 3 South, Northfield, Minnesota, 55057. Okay? And by the way, keep praying for us as we put these plans together. Keep praying for God's wisdom. You know, pray for God's direction and guidance. Of course, there are 17 people also on sermon audio, I guess, so that's... and look at those numbers. So anyway, but you pray for God's wisdom and guidance. But still there's only like 50 people total on all the platforms. That is so strange to me. But anyway, continue to pray for all those things. So we are rejoicing in God's faithfulness, God's goodness, and we'll keep going for the Lord. Amen. Just keep going for the Lord and keep serving the Lord. Keep being faithful to God. We got a lot of work to do. So you pray for us that God would bless the work that we do. that he would, uh, bless our church family. And, uh, let's see, I'm going to look at that. Well, my stream looks pretty good. Doesn't look bad there. The weird part is, is that Rumble is acting kind of wonky here a little bit. It doesn't even show who's on there, to be honest with you. It's just kind of weird. I don't know. So anyway. All right. Well, we are going to talk again about the Antichrist and I hope you've been learning some things. And this is a great Bible study, by the way, I'm, I'm really enjoying this Bible study. I think it's been helpful. Yeah. Uh, Carl said 17 on sermon audio 20 on there and 16 on rumble. Okay. Yeah. So I, I dunno, it's just weird anyway. Um, but, uh, I hope you've been learning some things from our study on the Antichrist that we've been doing. A.W. Pink did a masterful job with that book that he wrote on the Antichrist on really just going through the scriptures and going through the scriptures and analyzing who the Antichrist is, what his ministry will be, what he's going to do. And it's important that we understand the way that the Antichrist works and that there's a lot in the Bible about the Antichrist, his person, his ministry, right? There's a lot in the scriptures about that. So, We have to, it's important for us to break down the scriptures and look at them and see. So we're going to go through over 20 points. I just use that word 20, uh, or that number 20 for a, kind of a, a way to explain things, you know, um, or a title to put on there, but it there's actually going to be more than 20. Okay. And. it's going to explain the examples of the contrast. We talked about the other day, we talked about the, we talked about the comparisons, things that were comparable between that would make the Antichrist The counterfeit Christ. And there are a lot of those. Okay. So praise the Lord that God has given us and shown us that we don't have to be in the dark concerning these things, but we have a Bible. By the way, before I get into this, let me, I'm gonna show you something that I believe is very, very, very important. If you haven't heard this sermon, the sorcery of psychology, You need to listen to that sermon. I am gonna spend probably the next two months destroying psychology. I'm gonna probably spend at least two months of Sundays on it because I hate it so much. It is so anti-Christ. It is so wicked. It is such a satanic lie. It is antichrist to the core. Okay. So that was the first message last Sunday. The second one was yesterday. Pagan psychology versus biblical counsel. Do you know the difference? You need to listen to that. And the other one is on rumble, but it's not yet on sermon audio. It will be in a couple of days. And it's called four major myths of psychology. Four major myths of psychology. And we are having, we have just touched the tip of the iceberg. That is three messages in and we got a long ways to go. So anyway, I hope I hope that that you'll listen to those and that you'll take heed to those lessons because psychology and the medications that they've given people And the whole system of psychology was invented by satanists, by people that are atheists, agnostics, Okay? So I want you to listen to those sermons. Okay? Now, let's get to it here. So what are the major contrasts between Christ and the Antichrist in their respective designations first by AWP? One is called the Christ, Matthew chapter 16, I'm going to be flying through the scriptures here. If you can't keep up, you can read them on the screen. And Simon Peter answered and said, thou art the Christ, the son of the living God. The other is called the antichrist. 1 John 4 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God and this is that spirit of Antichrist wherever you have heard that it should come and even now already is it in the world Christ versus Antichrist Number two One is called the man of sorrows. Isaiah chapter 53, famous autobiography of Christ, right? 53 verse 3. By the way, let me ask you a question. Why would you ever go to a secular scientist? Why would you ever go to a psychologist? Why would you ever go to a doctor? Why would you ever go to any of those people for sadness when the Bible says that Jesus Christ is the man of sorrows? He is despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid as it were our faces from him. He was despised and we esteemed him not. Christ is the man of sorrows. The Antichrist is the man of sin. 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. Keeping with the same understanding, one is called the son of God, right? John chapter 1 Verse 34 and I saw him bear record that this is the Son of God Jesus Christ is the Son of God in 2nd Thessalonians 2 3 we find the Antichrist Contrasting the Son of God with the Son of perdition Why is he called the Son of perdition because he's of his father the devil That's why. He's of his father, the devil. Number four, one is called the seed of the woman. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed. It shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel. Christ is the seed of the woman. The other, the seed of the serpent. That's not talking about Cain and a lineage of Satan. It's talking about one man that will come and be the son of Lucifer. Just like Christ is the literal seed of the woman. He is the literal, this antichrist is the literal seed of the serpent. Not what is being, what is taught by people about Cain and all that other stuff. That's a perversion. It's not talking about a lineage. It's talking about one man, the man Christ Jesus. It's talking about one son of Satan, one seed of the serpent. Okay. Very clear, very clear Bible. Not the perversion that's taught by those men out there that say there's a lineage that Eve fornicated with the serpent and that's what happened. No, no, no, that's a lie. But is there a literal seed of the woman? Yes. So then there'll be a literal seed of Satan. One man versus one man. One is the God man. The other is the son of Satan. Amen. I don't, that's not confusing to me. That's very clear to me. It doesn't even seem hard to understand at all. Right? Okay, next, number five. One is called the Lamb. Isaiah 53, seven. Isaiah 53, seven. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings. Oop, that's the wrong one. That's not the Lamb. How'd I get that verse? Jesus Christ is called the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world. I'm not sure why that's where I got verse seven. Oh, a typo here, I guess. Anyway. One is called the lamb, the other is called the beast. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them. He's the beast. Pinky Sue asked a question, Pastor, aren't there a lot of people who could be called an Antichrist? Yes, they come in the same spirit of Antichrist, and they are Antichrist, but there is one man that will be the Antichrist. He will mock the Messiah. Okay? Number six, one is called the Holy One. Mark 1.24. And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, saying, let us alone. What have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art. The Holy One of God. Jesus is the Holy One of God. But the Antichrist is that wicked one. He's that wicked. 2 Thessalonians 2. Verse eight, 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. One is the holy one, the other is the wicked. Number seven is of vast importance. One is called the truth. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me. That's Jesus Christ, he's the truth. The other is the lie. Ye are of your father the devil. and the lust of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it." Of what? The lie. Who is the lie? The Antichrist. Jesus is the truth. The Antichrist is the lie. Okay? It's very clear. One is the truth. One is the lie. These are the contrasts between the two. These are contrasts. Okay. Amen. Number eight, one is called the Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9, 6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulders. His shoulder, excuse me, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Amen. That's Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Okay. Now, Satan's man, the Antichrist, is a wicked prince. Ezekiel 21. And thou profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come when iniquity shall have an end. Christ is the Prince of Peace, the Antichrist. He's a profane prince, a wicked prince. Number nine, one is called the glorious branch. Isaiah 4.2. In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. Then we have the abominable branch, Isaiah 14, 19. but thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch and as a raiment of those that are slain. Thrust through with the sword that go down to the stones of the pit as a carcass trodden underfoot. Number 10, one is called the mighty angel. Revelation 10 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven clothed with the cloud and a rainbow was upon his head and his face was as it were the sun and his feet as pillars of fire and in his hand and he had in his hand a little book open and he said his right foot upon the sea and his left foot on the earth and The other is called the Angel of the Bottomless Pit. And they had a king over them, which is the Angel of the Bottomless Pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. One is called the good shepherd. John chapter 10. Verse 11, Jesus said, I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. Jesus is the good shepherd. The antichrist is called the idol shepherd. He's the idol shepherd. Zechariah 11, 17. Woe to the idle shepherd that leaveth the flock. The sword shall be upon his arm and upon his right eye. His arm shall be clean dried up and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. What do they like to do in the occult? A lot of them like to cover their right eye. Don't they? Why? Because they're the idol shepherd. The idol shepherd, right? They represented that idol shepherd is Antichrist with his one eye, with his all seeing eye. When we were in the Vatican, we saw the all seeing eye When we look at the Masons, we see the all-seeing eye. When we look at the Mormon temple, we see the all-seeing eye. Because they're all pictures of the idol shepherd. The Pope is the idol shepherd. He's the idol shepherd. By the way, the two differences. Right, the $1 bill has the all seeing eye on it. By the way, for you to understand this, I'll give you an idea. That all seeing eye, that right eye out like that when they do that, there's a picture of it. Let me show you. Now you might wanna, you're probably gonna screenshot me here and think I'm Illuminati or something stupid like that, but I'm illustrating the scriptures to you. That right eye is grace, okay? It's the grace of God. They can only see the law with their left eye. the rigidness and justification by works, trying to fulfill and obey the law. Like Israel, I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. What's blocked out? Grace. They can't see Christ. By the way, that's why you're Hebrew roots people. That's why you're Judaizers. Always try to drag you back to the law for justification. They always try to drag you back to the law. Why? Because their right eye is out. Grace. So blindness in part is happened to Israel. the Judaizers, the Hebrew Reuters, all those people, blindness in part. They have some truth. The Roman Catholic Church, blindness in part. Why does he have the all-seeing eye around the papal throne? And why do they have it there? Because he has blindness in part. the Illuminati, the New World Order. Blindness in part. That's why. They're blind. It's antichrist religion. When you remove the grace of almighty God, when your eye is out and you cannot see it, Then you have work salvation. You have a rigidness to keep the law. And you put that rigidness on other people. You bind like the Pharisees did. They bound men with burdens that they were not able to bear. Because it's blindness in part. That's what it is. And that's exactly what it represents. Okay? All right, we're gonna take a little break here and I'm gonna play a song for you to reset your brains a little bit. All right, and then we'll get right back into the last half of this. All right, let's see here. Hmm. Not that one. I've anchored my soul in the haven of rest. I'll sail the wide seas. The tempest may sweep, or the wild storm may be, in Jesus I'm safe evermore. My soul in sad exile was now the life sea So burdened with sin and distress Till I heard a speak voice saying make me your choice And I entered the haven of rest I've anchored my soul in the haven of rest. I'll sail the wild seas no more. tempest may sweep, o'er the wild stormy deep, in Jesus I'm safe evermore. I yielded myself to His tender embrace and faith taking hold of the Word. My fetters fell off and I anchored my soul. The haven of rest is my home. I've anchored my soul in the haven of rest. I'll sail the wide seas no more. Amen. All right, next. Here we go. Next one here. in their respective careers. Number one, Christ came down from heaven. John 3, 13. The Bible tells us, and no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man which is in heaven. Amen. Jesus Christ. The Antichrist comes up out of the bottomless pit. Here's a contrast. He comes up out of the bottomless pit. Revelation 11. Verse number seven, and when they shall have finish their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them. He's gonna ascend up out of the bottomless pit. Number two, Christ came in another's name, John 5, 43. Came in the name of his father. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not. If another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. See, the Antichrist is gonna come in his own name. Christ came in the name of his Father. The Antichrist is gonna exalt himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped. He's gonna exalt his name above Jesus's name. He's gonna exalt his name above the Father. He's gonna come in his own name. He's gonna exalt his name above the Father in heaven because he's Satan's son. So that's why he's gonna do that. Jesus told them, and you know, the Antichrist will come in the authority of his own name. That's what that means, to come in the name of somebody. That's to come in the authority of them. Jesus came in the authority of his Father in heaven. That's why when he asked about baptism, he said to the Pharisees, they asked him, by what authority do you do these things? He said, we'll ask you first, John the Baptist, from whence was his baptism? Is it from heaven or of men? And they wouldn't answer it. They wouldn't answer it. And the reason they would not answer that was because if they did, he would simply ask them, why don't you follow it then? Why don't you submit to it? But if they didn't, or if they said in the negative that it wasn't from heaven, it was of men, all the people would be angry and know that they were fakes because all men counted John as a prophet. But the Antichrist, he's gonna come in his own name. Right? He's gonna come in his own name. Next, Christ came to do the Father's will, John 6, 38. He was our perfect example, because Christ, by the way, this ties into this very much so. All that the Father giveth, verse 37, all the Father giveth me shall come to me, and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I am come down from heaven. Jesus confessing that he came down from heaven. because Jesus is God. God manifest in the flesh. Jesus said, for I come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. What does that mean? John 3, 16, for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God, that's the Father, sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. The Father sent the Son. Jesus was in heaven before he was here. And if you don't believe the Trinity, it's because you're Antichrist. Because it's very simple. Very simple. Christ came down to do the Father's will. The Antichrist will come and do his own will. Remember, he's gonna come in his own name, but by the power of Satan. And finally, man will get to be a God. See, the Antichrist is gonna be... Jesus Christ is the God-man. and the Antichrist is gonna mock it, he's gonna be a man that ascends to a false godhood. He's not God, but he's gonna mock. He's gonna mock that and act as if he is God. How do you know that, preacher? He sitteth in the temple of God saying he is God. That's how I know that. He's gonna say he's like the God-man. He'll make people think that he is God. And Jesus warned about it. What's he gonna do? Daniel 11, 37, the Antichrist, neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any God, for he shall magnify himself above all. But in his estate shall he honor the God of forces. Who is that? Satan. And a God whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold and silver and with precious stones and pleasant things. The Antichrist is coming to do his own will. 2 Thessalonians 2.2 tells us the same thing, doesn't it? He shall exalt himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. That's what he's going to do. That's how he's going to deceive the world. It's very specific to the scriptures. The Bible's very clear about that ministry of the Antichrist, what he's going to do on this earth, how he's going to react to things, how he's going to deal with things. Right? How he's going to exalt himself. He's going to come in his own will. Number four, Christ was energized by the Holy Spirit. Luke 4. He got power, right? And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about him. This is after his temptation, the Holy Spirit came and gave him power. Right? He came. He returned in the power of the Spirit. Remember the Spirit is what? And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness. So he was led by the Spirit of the wilderness, the Holy Spirit. He was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness. He's brought back by the power of the Holy Spirit. Right? Into Jerusalem. Into Galilee, right? And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee. He left in the power of the Spirit. He returned in the power of the Spirit. The Antichrist will receive his power. He'll be given power by Satan. Revelation 13 Verse 4 It says here in the beast, verse two says, and the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard. And his feet were as the feet of a bear and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his seat and great authority. Gave him his power. and his seat and great authority. It says in verse four says, and they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast. And they worshiped the beast saying, who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? The beast. The beast is given power. The Antichrist is given power, he comes in the power of Satan. With all power, and signs, and lying wonders, as the scriptures tell us. Number five, Christ submitted himself to God, John 5 30. Here's the great, these are all great contrasts between the two. Jesus said, I can of mine own self do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me. Jesus sought the will of his Father. Okay. Jesus submitted himself to God. The Antichrist defies God. 2 Thessalonians 2. Who opposeth, verse 4, and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped. so that he, as God, sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. He is going to oppose and exalt above all that is called God, the opposite of Christ. Christ humbled himself in Philippians 2.8, It says in verse 6 through 8, "...who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men, and being found in fashion as a man. He humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." Christ humbled himself. Christ humbled himself. The Antichrist exalts himself. Daniel 1137, we looked at that already, but we can look at it again real fast. Daniel 1137. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any God, for he shall magnify himself above all. Right, that's the same thing, opposeth and exalteth, right? See how the scriptures are very conclusive, very clear about how that's gonna work. Christ honored the God of his fathers. Luke four. 16. And he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up, and as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up for to read. He was honoring. The Antichrist refuses to honor. Daniel 11.37 again. A lot of hints in the book of Daniel about the Antichrist, a lot of biographical stuff in there about him, about his future coming. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers. He's not gonna honor the God of his fathers, he's not gonna honor him. He's a Jew, that's why he's a Jew, and he's not gonna honor the God of his fathers. He's not gonna, because he's Jewish. And he's gonna reject the Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. That's how he's gonna operate. Okay. Next. Christ cleansed the temple in John chapter 2. Let's look at that when Christ cleansed the temple. John chapter 2. Verse 14, and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves and the changers of money sitting. And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple. And the sheep and the oxen and poured out the changers' money and overthrew the tables and said unto them that sold doves, take these things hence, make not my father's house a house of merchandise. And his disciples remembered that it was written the zeal buying house hath eaten me up. So Christ cleanses the temple. What does the Antichrist do? He's going to defile the temple. Matthew 24. When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, whoso readeth let him understand. See, The Antichrist is gonna defile the temple. Where Christ cleansed it, the Antichrist will defile it. It's the work he's gonna do. It's how he's gonna operate. See, these are the contrasts. The others we talked about were comparisons, how he would make himself like Christ in some ways. He would try to mimic him. But in other ways, he will completely contrast him. By the way, friend, that's why you need the Holy Scriptures. So you can, So you can discern between that spirit of antichrist and Christ. So you can discern what a counterfeit is versus a real. Because let me tell you something, people can deceive you. That's why the Bible says, let no man deceive you by any means. That's why we need the word of God. and discernment from the Holy Spirit, but we need the scriptures, folks. Listen to me. There are people trying to deceive today. Let me stop for a second and just talk about that. Put me in the wide shot. Here we go. There are people today, under the guise of religion, under the guise of Bible believers, under the guise of that are trying to deceive the masses. They're integrating hybrid worship, hybrid things into the scriptures, into your Christian life. Things that are after the rudiments of this world and not after Christ. And they are deceiving people. They are deceiving and they are being deceived. And the deception will rise worse. Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. All the while they're deceiving men, they are deceive themselves. That's why it's important to understand these things. That's why it's important for you to have good biblical discernment. You understand what the scriptures say. Andrea said Trump is one of them. Yes, he is. And men are deceived. They are. So, it's important that you use the scriptures and the spirit of God that gives wisdom to guide you through those things so you know what God expects, so you understand the spirit of deception. These are times of deception. They're times of deception. And God's people need discerning spirits. They need to walk with God. So they're not deceived by that antichrist spirit. Okay. Number nine, Christ ministered to the needy, Isaiah 53 7. Isaiah 53. He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep before shears is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. He is taken from prison. It's Christ that fed his own sheep, right? It's Christ who took care of his own sheep. He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him. With his stripes we are healed. Right? The good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. Christ ministered to those that were poor and wretched. those that were in prison, those that had no one, Christ ministered to them. The Antichrist robs the poor, Psalm chapter 10. Verse eight and nine. He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages and the secret places that they murder the innocent. His eyes are privileged set against the poor. He lieth and waits secretly as a lion in his den. He lieth and wait to catch the poor. He doth catch the poor when he draweth him into his net. See the Antichrist, just like the Pope, talking about poor, starving African children while he sits on a golden papal throne with trillions of dollars in the Vatican bank lecturing everyone else about how they should give more when he has the gold in the world, all the gold in the world, the major portions of gold and silver in the world. That's the Antichrist. He robs the poor. That's the spirit of the Antichrist. Number 10, Christ was rejected of men. Isaiah 53, 7. He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter and as sheep before his shearers is dumb, so open thee not his mouth. He was wounded for our transgresses. Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. We did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. He was rejected of men, a man of sorrows. Right? No one wanted him. The Antichrist will be accepted by men. Revelation 13, four. And they worshiped the dragon, which gave power unto the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, who is like unto the beast, who is able to make war with him. Antichrist will be accepted. Number 11, Christ leadeth the flock. John chapter 10. We looked at these verses before, we'll look at it again here. To him the porter openeth and the sheep hear his voice and he calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out. Christ leads his own sheep. The Antichrist leaves the flock. He leaves it. Zechariah 11 Christ leads it the Antichrist leaves it And I will feed the flock of slaughter Even you the old poor of the flock and I took unto me two staves the one call I called beauty and the other I called bands And I fed the flock see God will feed the flock with the idol shepherd. What's he gonna do starve it? Verse 17, sorry. Woe to the idle shepherd that leaveth the flock. The sword shall be upon his arm and upon his right eye. His arm shall be clean dried up and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. The sword shall be upon his arm and upon his right eye. The Antichrist will abandon the flock. Right? Jesus said that of the hireling, careth not for the flock. Number 12, Christ was slain for the people, John 11, 51. All these comparisons are these contrasts. And this, nor consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people and that the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation, for that nation, and not for that nation only, but also that he should gather together and won the children of God that were scattered abroad. Wow. Christ was slain for the people. The Antichrist slays the people. He's gonna kill him. What do we see in the Roman Catholic Church also? How many martyrs? 50 to 100 million martyrs probably. Isaiah 1420, thou shalt not be joined with them in burial because thou hast destroyed thy land and slain thy people. The seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. So, you know they have that antichrist spirit when they slay the people of God. That's Roman Catholicism. slew the people of God. Christ was slain for the people though. Number 13, Christ glorified God on earth. John 17. Jesus said in John 17 1 through 4, these words spake Jesus and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify thy son that thy son also may glorify thee, as thou has given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou has given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent. I have glorified Thee on the earth. I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. Wow, is that powerful. Wow, is that powerful words. Praise the Lord. So Christ glorified God on earth. The Antichrist blasphemes the name of God on earth. Blasphemes the name of God in heaven, excuse me, Revelation. 13. Verse 6. So Christ glorifies God on the earth. The Antichrist blasphemes the name of God in heaven. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven. He's a blasphemer. and he blasphemes God's name. He opened his mouth in blasphemy against God to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven. That's what the Antichrist will do. By the way, that's what the Pope does too. He blasphemes God's name. Calls himself God on the throne. Says he's a vicar of Christ. He's a blasphemer. He's a blasphemer. Number 14, Christ was received up into heaven. Luke 24. Verse 51, and it came to pass while he blessed them, he was parted from them and carried up into heaven. You know, the Bible says that a cloud received him out of their sight. I think it's Acts chapter one. Let's look there. And when he had spoken these things while they beheld, he was taken up and a cloud received him out of their sight. Amen. Christ taken up in a cloud. He's going to come back in the clouds. He's taken up in the clouds. He's going to come back in the clouds. How do I know that? It says it right here. Right? And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, which also said, you men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you've seen him go into heaven. Amen. He left in the clouds, he's gonna come back in the clouds. That was Christ received up into heaven. But the Antichrist is the opposite. He goes down into the lake of fire. Revelation 19, verse 21. Revelation 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 worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. So it says here, and the remnant, it says here that the beast is gonna be taken, the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, right? Those miracles to deceive the masses, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast. They weren't deceived until they took the mark, it says, which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. See, that's the difference. We have one that goes up, Christ Jesus the Lord. The Antichrist goes down. See, these are a great number of contrasts. So not only do the comparisons, right, give us the idea and understanding of Antichrist, but the contrasts show us how different he will be from Jesus. So what is the reason that he is so accepted then? Well, friends, he's so accepted because he's what this world wants. This world wants a champion. They want a man to ascend to godhood. They want man to be God because they want to be God. And when that man of sin comes and he's given the power to look like a God, they are going to follow him. They are going to serve him. He's their superhero. He's their Superman. Okay? That's who he is. This world has been waiting a long time. This world has been waiting a long time and it's been prepared for the Antichrist. It's been prepared through propaganda. It's been prepared through the Roman Catholic Church, through the spirit of Antichrist has already been at work to prepare them for the man of sin, to prepare them to accept the Antichrist. That's why they've inundated you with so many Marvel comic movies, so many DC movies, so many superheroes, so many people with powers and magic and Harry Potter and magic movies and movies full of sorcery and witchcraft and everything else to prepare you for a man that will be like a god. That's what it's all about. because they're telling the story of the Antichrist. The Bible tells us the story of Christ, and it informs us of how the Antichrist will be. But the world tells the story of the man of sin, the son of perdition. In all the movies, it's telling you the story of the man of sin. It's telling you the story of somebody who comes with all power and signs and lying wonders. A man that can control the weather, right? A man that can heal people. that can make the elements do what he wants them to do. A man that can defy gravity. A man that has superhuman power, superhuman strength, superhuman intelligence. It's always telling you the story in books and movies and everything else. It's always telling you the story of Antichrist. So when that man comes, he's accepted. He's the hero they're looking for. See, Jesus was rejected, despised and rejected, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Why? Because he came as the meek and lowly one. And man doesn't want, by nature, is sinful and doesn't want the meek and lowly one. He wants the muscle bound, incredible Hulk, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the rock, That's who he wants to look like, the rock. He wants to have big, huge muscles. He wants to have a perfect physique. He wants everybody to be handsome and everybody to want them. Jesus came as the humble, meek, and lowly one, and they rejected him. They would not have this man to rule over them. So that's why these contrasts, these comparisons are so important because they show us, don't they? They show us a lot. They teach us to be in our scriptures, to always be looking at the Bible for the answer. It's still the blood that saves from sin It's still the blood that cleanses within From the highest star in heaven To the depths of the sea It's still the blood of Jesus Once I wandered in sin's black night. There was no way I could make my wrongs right. There'd be all I could say to the Lord, there'd be pride. He is a sinner, and now he must die. I'll go, and I'll pay this debt without worries. Oh, I'll bear in my body the parts of the cross to save this poor sinner who is sick and lost and can still apply that same He is still the highest star in heaven. He lives on the sea. He is still the blood of Jesus that brings victory to me. Rely on their works that they do. And some men, they may count on all the times that they've prayed through. Oh, but when that battle's over and victory that saves from sinning. It's still the blood that cleanses within. From the highest star in heaven to the depths of the sea. It is still the blood of Jesus Oh, it's still the blood of Jesus Yes, it's still the blood of Jesus That brings victory to me Victory to me Amen, everybody. Well, God bless you.
