In this world we are ripped by bears,
Lions tear at us and yet nobody cares.
Fend for yourself is the rule of life,
Traitorous friends stab with the knife.
Love has grown cold as even Jesus said,
Watch your back or you may end up dead.
It is a wicked world, there is no doubt,
Can you truly blame me for wanting out?
Lovers of themselves the Apostle wrote,
Will society end on such a tragic note?
God will tear it all down, I’m very sure,
That is what His Kingdom is for.

Time is a construct of the physical Universe. If a Being exists outside of the physical Universe, in the realm of the Spirit, is He able to see time from beginning to end, and all events between the two, simultaneously in an “Eternal Now”? The Bible seems to declare that it may be so.
“Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.” Job 36:26, KJV
“I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.” Ecclesiastes 3:14-15, KJV
“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:” Isaiah 46:9-10, KJV
“And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world IN A MOMENT OF TIME.” Luke 4:5, KJV
“And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, THAT THERE SHOULD BE TIME NO LONGER: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.” Revelation 10:5-7, KJV

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Thessalonians 1:4-12, KJV
Since the latter half of the 20th century, many Christians have tried to identify the biblical Antichrist. Some of the popular candidates have included: Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Emmanuel Macron, Jared Kushner, John Lennon, Lord Maitreya, Popes Francis & Leo, King Charles, Saddam Hussein and Qa’im Abdullah Hashem Aba Al Sadiq. But what if they are all wrong, and the Antichrist is really a figure from the distant past, and NOT a soon-coming global leader, as the doctrine of Futurism erroneously proposes?

As a matter of clarification, allow me to inform you that it is commonly believed that the Apostle Paul did not personally write all of his Epistles. Due to his poor eyesight — which may have possibly been a result of the incident on the road to Damascus where the Lord struck down Paul, and left him blind for three days — Paul was forced to dictate a number of his Epistles to his traveling companions.
“After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.” Acts 19:21, KJV

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.” Acts 28:13-16, KJV

“For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:21, KJV
Please note that in the first verse, the prince of Tyrus is actually a symbol or allegory for Satan.
“Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:” Ezekiel 28:2, KJV

But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.” Daniel 10:12-13, 21, KJV
“And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.” Daniel 12:1, KJV

“And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.” Matthew 15:22-28, KJV
