Unmasking The Antichrist

The identity of the Antichrist is a topic of hot debate today. Adding fuel to the flame of rampant speculation are voices saying the Antichrist might be a Muslim or a Jew—a view that respected Bible scholar and bestselling author Ron Rhodes argues against in this revealing, Scripture-based exploration of: what God's Word does and does not tell us about the Antichrist the advance signs, power moves, and eventual fall of this person the mysterious "Gog"—leader of Northern military coalition mentioned in Ezekiel It is time for a trustworthy study of this topic to take the place of emotion-based suspicions. Believers, followers of end-times news, and anyone anxiously watching the turmoil of today's political landscape will be thankful for this thorough, straightforward resource. Excellent for church and personal libraries.

The identity of the Antichrist has been a mystery for many years until now. UNMASKING THE BEAST: THE SECOND REIGN OF JFK is an intriguing book that will attempt to corroborate that JFK is the end-time Beast of Revelations. I know that many individuals will find my theory extremely difficult to believe. In fact, even my own wife is skeptical because, after all, JFK is dead. However, the Bible is a supernatural book and the appearance of the Antichrist will be a supernatural event. "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed and all the world wondered after the beast." (Rev. 13.3 KJ) When it happens the entire world will be shocked, including my wife. After evaluating all of the evidence from the scriptures, along with an unbelievable chain of historical events, the correlation to JFK is unmistakable. I find it highly improbable that any individual other than JFK could be the one. JFK IS THE ONE! HE WILL RETURN TO REIGN AGAIN! IF YOU READ THE 'LEFT BEHIND' SERIES THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ!

On July 16, 1505, Martin Luther, then a student at the University of Erfurt, invited his friends and acquaintances to a farewell supper. He wished to see them about him for the last time before his approaching retirement to the cloister. “The bright, cheerful young fellow,” as his later pupil, Mathesius, calls him, was a favourite in his own circle. Those assembled to bid him farewell, amongst whom were also “honest, virtuous maidens and women,” were doubtless somewhat taken aback at their friend’s sudden determination to leave the world; but Luther was outwardly “beyond measure cheerful” and showed himself so light of heart that he played the lute while the wine-cup circled round. On the following morning—it was the feast of St. Alexius, as Luther remembered when an old man—some of his fellow-students accompanied him to the gate of the Augustinian monastery and then, with tears in their eyes, saw the doors close upon him. The Prior, who was already apprised of the matter, greeted the timid new-comer, embraced him, and then, in accordance with the Rule, confided him to the Master of Novices to be initiated into the customs of the community. In the quiet monastic cell and amid the strange new surroundings the student was probably able little by little to master the excitement which, though hidden from outsiders, raged within his breast; for the determination to become a monk had been arrived at under strange, soul-stirring circumstances. He was on his way back to Erfurt, after a visit to his parents’ house, when, near Stotternheim, he was overtaken by a thunderstorm, and as a flash of lightning close beside him threatened him “like a heavenly vision,” he made the sudden vow: “Save me, dear St. Anne, and I will become a monk.” He appears also at that very time to have been reduced to a state of great grief and alarm by the sudden death of a dear comrade, also a student, who had been stabbed, either in a quarrel or in a duel. Thus the thoughts which had perhaps for long been attracting his serious temperament towards the cloister ripened with overwhelming rapidity. Could we but take a much later assertion of his as correct, the reason of his resolve was to be found in a certain vexation with himself: because he “despaired” of himself, he once says, therefore did he retire into the monastery.

The German theologian and religious reformer, Martin Luther was the catalyst of the sixteenth century Protestant Reformation. Luther set on course a movement that reformulated the basic tenets of Christian belief, resulting in the division of Western Christendom between Roman Catholicism and the new Protestant traditions. One of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity, Luther produced a wide body of works, challenging the authority and office of the Pope by teaching that the Bible is the only source of divinely revealed knowledge. His landmark translation of the Bible into the German vernacular made religion more accessible to everyday people, having a tremendous impact on both the church and German culture.

Al-Maseeh ad-Dajjaal is the "major Dajjaal" whose appearance is from among the greater or major signs of the Last Hour. He is the great Dajjaal, the one-eyed Dajjaal of the end-time concerning whom the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) reserved his greatest warnings, and he is the last of the Dajjaals or impostors. Impostors and false prophets will not cease to appear till the last of them appear in the person of the one-eyed Dajjaal who will be killed by ''Eesaa ibn Maryam [Jesus, son of Mary] (عليه السلام). He is often referred to as the "Antichrist" in Islamic circles not like in Christianity where the "Antichrist" is considered an adversary of Christ or Christianity but because of his bearing the title, "al-Maseeh" similar to ''Eesaa ibn Maryam [Jesus, son of Mary] (عليه السلام) which has a broad meaning including "the Messiah" and because he will perform miracles like Jesus (عليه السلام) and endear many hearts to himself. Al-Maseeh ''Eesaa ibn Maryam [Jesus] (عليه السلام) is the honest, upright one while al-Maseeh ad-Dajjaal is the seductive liar and impostor. ''Eesaa ibn Maryam (عليه السلام) is the Maseeh of guidance while the Dajjaal is the Maseeh of misguidance. Eventually the Maseeh of misguidance will be killed by the Maseeh of guidance. It is from this perspective that the Dajjaal, in Islamic circles, is referred to as the "Antichrist" or the "Pseudo-Christ."The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) had prophesied the coming of the Dajjaal, a man who will be gifted with great magical and supernatural feats and who will deceive the word with his false religion. He will claim divinity. He will satisfy the needs of all those who will follow him, and as a result, he will conquer vast lands-regions by regions, towns by towns, fortresses by fortresses, nations by nations. He will heal the sick and raise the dead using magic, demonic powers and trick. He will have the power to bring rain and halt it, and to cause his devils to take the forms of dead cattle and corpses. He will also bring something like paradise (water) and hell (fire) but his paradise will be hell and his hell will be paradise, cool and refreshing. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) warned that, "Between the creation of Aadam (عليه السلام) and the coming of the Last Hour, there is no fitnah (trial) greater than the fitnah (trial) of the Dajjaal."Allaah has emphasized in the Qur''aan that when some of the signs appear, faith will not benefit anyone who has not previously believed or acquired any good from his faith, Allaah says: "Are they waiting to see that the angels should come to them or your Lord (Himself), or certain signs of your Lord? The Day that certain signs of your Lord do come, no good will it do a soul to believe in them then, if it believed not before, nor earned good and righteousness through its faith." (Soorah al-An''aam [6]:158)Aboo Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that Allaah''s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, "When three things appear, faith will not benefit anyone who has not previously believed or acquired any good from his faith: The rising of the sun in its place of setting, the Dajjaal, and the Beast of the Earth."This is the evidence that commentators have used to proof that the Dajjaal has been mentioned in the Qur''aan, though implicitly.The hadeeths of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) are explicit stating that the Dajjaal is a human being with human descriptions especially since he [the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم)] compared him to ''Abdul ''Uzzaa ibn Qatan. These hadeeths provide evidences proving the falsehood of those who give wrong interpretations to the sign of the appearance of the Dajjaal, claiming he is not actually a man but a system of symbols representing Western culture, its evil influence, temptations and manifestations.This book explores the personality and real identity of the Dajjaal as established by demonstrative proof and unequivocal evidence. Here, the identity and decoy of the Dajjaal is completely uncloaked.
