The Antichrist will be a Jew.
In Ezek.21:25-27 we read: "and thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: and it shall be no more until he comes whose right it is, and I will give it him." The time-mark is given in v.25: it is "when iniquity shall have an end." It is the End-Time which is in view, then, the End of the Age, when "the transgressors are come to the full" (Dan.8:23 and cf.11:36 -- "Till the indignation be accomplished"). At that time Israel shall have a Prince, a Prince who is crowned (v.26), and a Prince whose day is said to be come when "iniquity shall have an end." As to who this Prince is, there is surely no room for doubt. The only Prince whom Israel will have in that day, is the Son of Perdition, here termed their Prince because he will be masquerading as Messiah the Prince (see Dan.9:25)! Another unmistakable mark of identification is given in that he is expressly denominated "thou, profane wicked Prince" -- assuredly, it is the Man of Sin who is here in view, that impious one who shall "oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God." What should be noted particularly, is, that this profane and wicked character is here named "Prince of Israel." He must, therefore, be of the Abrahamic stock, a Jew!
The very name "Antichrist" argues strongly his Jewish nationality. This title "Antichrist" has a double significance. It means that he will be one who shall be "opposed" to Christ, one who will be His enemy. But it also purports that he will be a mock Christ, an imitation Christ, a pro-Christ, a pseudo Christ. It intimates that he will ape Christ. He will pose as the real Messiah of Israel. In such case he must be a Jew. This mock Christ will be "received" by Israel. The Jews will be deceived by Him. They will believe that he is indeed their long-expected Messiah. They will accept him as such. if this pseudo Christ succeeds in palming himself off on the Jews as their true Messiah he must be a Jew, for it is unthinkable that they would be deceived by any Gentile.

I just did a Youtube search of "Is America Babylon" with a lot of hits. So, as the grand kids say "What ever".

Nearing Midnight: Old Demonic Lies - Todd Strandberg -
I have always despised the term "politically correct." It is a system of belief that has nothing to do with political thinking in a common sense correct manner. What is true for one group has no bearing on another. I was recently listening to a political commentator put this problem in secular terms by saying, the issue is about liberals replacing objective truth with one that's based on subjective thinking. Generally, objectivity means the state or quality of being true even outside of a subject's individual biases, interpretations, feelings, and imaginings. People who try to use logic here are wasting their time. The only way to make sense out of this world is to understand that there are spiritual forces using this correctness ploy to advance their own evil agendas. It is just the old demonic lies repackaged. Only the devil could come up with a system where homosexuality, abortion, atheism are viewed positively, while Christian values are seen in a negative light. The greatest contradiction has to be the placating treatment of Islam. This faith runs against nearly every core value that liberals treasure and yet it gets a free pass every time.
Last week, First Lady Michelle Obama proved this fact when she visited a Muslim girl's school in London. She told the student audience that they might hear people make stereotyped comments about their religion, but that they cannot afford to be discouraged. "You might wonder if people will ever look beyond your headscarf to see who you really are," she said. "But with your education from this amazing school you have everything you need to rise above it." The First Lady then said, "Your story is my story" because she faces discrimination back home. Most Americans are unfamiliar with Michelle's habit of trash talking our nation because the liberal media never covers her comments. The problem with this Islam-is-wonderful narrative is that the school is located in the Tower Hamlets district of London. An area known for housing a disproportionate number of radical Islamists, and is the leading district in Britain for female genital mutilation. The school is also a haven for several anti-Semitic and anti-Israel groups. Mrs. Obama has no conflict with Islamic beliefs because deep down they are branches of her own mindset. Another example of how these demonic lies have permeated our culture is the ability of Bruce Jenner to capture the country's attention by claiming to be a woman. As he transitioned into Caitlyn Jenner, the liberal media did their best to label the process as normal. Anyone with common sense knows that there is something horribly wrong with this man. With identity an open issue, the way was cleared for Rachel Dolezal to say she is a black woman when it is obvious that she is white. The press has been so busy propagating the idea that African-Americans are an oppressed minority that their brains temporarily malfunction when encountering a woman who purposely labels herself as black.
Many folks in the conservative camp think the tide is turning because the liberals have been discredited by recent failures. But liberalism is not about learning from its mistakes. Rolling Stone magazine has been forced to fire a dozen staffers right after its disastrous, "A Rape on Campus" article. Yet there is no indication that fact-checking will be used for any future RS article motivated by a feminist ranting. The liberal bias of CNN and MSNBC has put them in the ratings dumper for years. These networks are not concerned about growing their audience because they have a master (the devil) who only cares about advancing his wicked agenda. The indication that we've reached the zenith of this craziness has to be Pope Francis taking up the climate change cause. It doesn't matter that that 95 percent of climate models predicting global temperature rises have been wrong. The Pope is talking like Al Gore because society has reached the tipping point of global delusion.
I'm sure when the Antichrist comes along he will be the biggest environmentalist, gay-friendly, Islam loving leader the world has ever seen. Being so close to the Tribulation hour, the Beast of Revelation might be serving in some public office right now.
"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12).

"The Antichrist will be a Jew."
Don't forget, the Arabs were descended from Jews from Abrahams son by a servant girl. Arabs adapted the religion of Islam. So there is a connection. The Anti-Christ is to be a unfulfilled Prince. That would have been Ismhael. Descended from a Jew.

Zedekiah was the grand victim "pierced through" by God's sword of judgment, as his sons were slain before his eyes, which were then put out, and he was led a captive in chains to Babylon.

No, he declares to be God.
Ask that you read the book titled "Mid-East Beast" by Joel Richardson.
leasantry:Here's my story. I was raised in the church. I was told all about the Christian god and how amazing it is. Later in life I began to read the Bible and seek a deeper understanding. I asked that god for answers and got none. I read the book and it didn't address my questions about the religion. At that point, when I started actually asking hard questions and seeking evidence but found none, I found that I no longer believed in that god.
I do not believe that there is no god.
I don't know what guides people who "don't believe in anything." Maybe you should ask them.

Where is America in Biblical Prophecy? - David Pepe -
A resounding question asked by many today is, "Where is America in Biblical prophecy?" The simple answer is that our nation will still exist during the Great Tribulation period, but our military power and socio-economic position will have been diminished to the level of a godless, base nation. For many years this was a hard reality for many American believers to grasp because in many ways it was so hard to see! But by faith in God's Word we knew it must be! When Christ calls His Church out of the world by means of the Rapture, our nation will implode on itself (2 Thess. 2:7). Any remnant of restraint by Conservatives will then be removed, and our demise will arise by means of civil war and lawlessness - even nuclear destruction (Rev. 6:1-8; 9:14-18) - to a state of total social collapse and anarchy. The prophetic words and warnings of our Founding Fathers against the violation of Almighty God's natural laws will come to pass. America will reap a whirlwind of consequences from her godless doings, and tyranny and oppression will fill the vacuum once filled with justice and the rule of law.
The reception and outworking of godless secularism and "unnatural" laws has and will continue to plunge America into a third world nation status from which it will not recover. Even 8 to 10 years ago this picture was hard to fully see but now under the Obama administration we have seen the secular Left rapidly move us to the brink of collapse with their godless and lawless agenda. The final piece to our undoing will be when we as America abandon Israel which we are doing more and more today under this administration. No more will America be the nation that resists and restrains global secular fascism and oppression. No more will we be a beacon of light to all the world's oppressed. No more will we be the world's guardian against oppressive dictators and thugs, for we will be transformed into the very thing that our Founding Fathers prophetically warned us about. In the end, America will be absorbed into the coming European "Super Global Empire" of the Anti-Christ (Dan. 2: 40-44; 7:19-21; 9:26-27; Rev. 13) to go against Almighty God at the Great Battle of Armageddon (Zech. 12:3; 14:2; Rev. 16:13-16). Many do not want to conceive this reality and deceive themselves with optimistic lies and falsehoods.
The Final Countdown
As this age draws to its final conclusion, and as the sobering realities of this appraisal are showing themselves everywhere today, may we not be oblivious to the countless signs and warnings bells at present of what is coming (Luke 21:34; 1 Thess. 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10; Rev. 16:15). For a brief 400 years in the 6,000 years of world history, America was a sign post pointing the entire world to the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God. With its rule of law and Judean/ Christian heritage, America was a mighty dam holding back global oppression and tyranny. No other nation in the world's history has done more to send out the Glorious Gospel light to the oppressed prisoners and captives of Satan's tyrannical Kingdom (Hebrews 2:14-15). The last flickers of America's light have nearly gone out and the flax is near smoldering. These current realities must be acknowledged by all before it is too late to even notice. Almost 2,000 years ago, Almighty God sent His Son from Heaven's glory to come down to earth to pay the price for man's disobedience and transgression against Almighty God's perfectly righteous standards and holy absolutes (Romans 10:4; 1 Peter 1:19; 3:18). In these last days the Spirit of God is calling out to men and women through out the world to repent and be saved from the wrath to come (John 3:16-17). Will you have an ear to hear? America is like a fractured dam ready to give way at any moment. What will there be after she does? The chief end of all Americans and the world is to possess a saving relationship to Almighty God in spirit and truth in perfect righteousness (Eccl. 12:13-14; Gal 1:4; 1 John 2:17).
May I ask you this very pertinent and urgent question? Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ, God's propitiation (a payment that yields satisfaction) for man's transgressions (1 John 2:2), as your PERSONAL Savior? If not, may you do so today. Nothing is more crucial in these last days. Time is but for a moment while eternity is forever. The things of Almighty God will abide forever, America will not. Will you trust Him Today?
The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!

What was the "hard question" you were seeking and answer to. Maybe it isn't such a hard question to answer. Maybe some one here can answer it for you. Maybe God spoke and you didn't listen. But, in any instance, God will not send you a special delivery telegram.
Many time people ask for thing thy should not get because it's bad for them. And, even if God said yes, he may have not said when it would happen.
In His world, it is His will be done by you, not your will be done by Him.
So out with the "hard question". What is it?

But it is not "don't believe in anything", but contentment with reality of the real world. No spooks of any type, just the life cycle of a planet and the organisms that exist on its surface. I have seen no evidence to that even suggests to contradict this reality.
(The bible is NOT evidence, it is the musings, fears, phobias, bias, agendas and ignorance of mere men that are long dead)

If you can believe that the entire natural world is simply the roll of some cosmic dice that created animals and plants, from the molecular level, that all work together in food webs and ecosystems, the ability for humans to create and to manipulate intricate objects like firearms, a baby's cry, a starry sky or a stormy sea, your faith is stronger than that required by Christians. To believe that everything that happens on Earth is the chance reaction of some big explosion is to believe stuff that is beyond my comprehension.

If you can believe that some deity that existed before anything existed waved his wand or said abracadabra and the universe was created, and the genesis of man is a dirt clod and some deity spit, and that this deity gives a damn about you, and listens to you (but never answers), that my delusional friend is beyond my comprehension and all reason.

If God is God, he doesn't need a wand.
Your faith in random assembly of this Earth and in the universe in general is impressive.
Oh, and as to never answers -- sometimes the answer is no. People think they know a lot more about what they need than God, and that's what gets them into trouble.
There's really no need to call me things like "delusional," other than to attempt to make yourself look rational at my expense (it's not working). I find your signature a bit faulty -- fundamental ethos? My fundamental "ethos" as far as Christianity goes is believing that Jesus is who he said he is and what he said was going to happen to everyone who believed. You don't believe that. Fine, but by being so aggressively derisive of those who do it lends the notion that maybe you're worried about your beliefs a bit. Calm down, buddy.
