BL – Who Is Antichrist, Part 2
A Prediction of the Antichrist’s Arrival Time
by Charles Connor 2/7/2023
1. Why is this important?
Because we do not want to be deceived into worshipping the Antichrist thinking that he is the real Jesus Christ and/or receiving his Mark of the Beast otherwise we reap the following consequences stated in the Book of Revelation.
Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelation 19:20 And the beast (Satan) 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 worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (King James Authorized Bible Version 1769 )
The Mark of the Beast (in our minds) represents ownership by Satan, so those who have it will go into the Lake of Fire with their master Satan. We therefore should strive to have the Seal of God in our forehead (in our minds) representing ownership by Yahweh our heavenly Father.
2. What does the word “Antichrist” mean?
Now, lets use The Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance (keyed to the KJV Bible) to examine the word Antichrist. Strong’s numbers are indicated by <number>.
1John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist <500> shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
————————————————————————————-
Strong’s Concordance definition of antichrist:
<500> ἀντίχριστος antichristos an-tee’-khris-tos
from <473> and 5547; n m; TDNT-9:493,1322; {See TDNT 850}
AV-antichrist 5; 5
1) the adversary of the Messiah
<473> ἀντί anti an-tee’
a primary particle; prep; TDNT-1:372,61; {See TDNT 75}
1) over against, opposite to, before
2) for, instead of, in place of (something)
———————————————————————————————–
The word Antichrist in this case has a deeper meaning than “against,” which is our normal understanding of the prefix Anti. Therefore, from the above, it means the adversary of the Messiah (Jesus) which comes from the root word <473> meaning “instead of” or “in place of.”
3.0 Now, who is the adversary?
1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
4.0 Now, who is the devil?
Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
So, we can conclude that Satan is the Antichrist that will come “in the place of” Jesus Christ, i.e, as a “Fake” Jesus. His purpose is to deceive as many of Yahweh’s children that he can and take them into the lake of fire with him. Since he is to come before Jesus, then we need to search the bible for clues as to when the true Jesus will return.
———————————————————————–
5. What clues does the Bible give us concerning the time when Jesus will return?
We already know from scripture that only the Father knows the day or hour when Jesus will return.
Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Therefore, we understand the bible cannot tell us the day and hour, but perhaps we can arrive at the season of Christ’s return.
Paul, the Apostle gives us a clue in his letter to the Corinthians and Thessalonians.
1Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Jesus, therefore comes at the last trump.
6.0 How many trumps occur in the New Testament?
From the Book of Revelation we can determine how many trumps there will be.
Revelation 8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Therefore, Jesus comes at the seventh trump.
7.0 What clues does the Bible give us concerning the time when the Antichrist comes relative to the time when Christ comes?
2Thessolonians 2:1 ¶ Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 ¶ Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away <646> first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;<684>
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
We learn from the above scripture that a falling away happens first and the son of perdition has to be revealed before the day of Jesus Christ’s return.
7.1 What does “falling away” <646> mean?
————————————————————————
Strong’s Concordance definition for falling away:
<646> ἀποστασία apostasia ap-os-tas-ee’-ah
feminine of the same as 647; n f; TDNT-1:513,88; {See TDNT 116}
AV-to forsake + 575 1, falling away 1; 2
1) a falling away, defection, apostasy “from the truth”
————————————————————————-
Therefore falling away means apostasy or a falling away from truth.
7.2 Now what does “perdition” <684> mean?
————————————————————————-
Strong’s Concordance definition for perdition:
<684> ἀπώλεια apoleia ap-o’-li-a
from a presumed derivative of 622; n f; TDNT-1:396,67; {See TDNT 86}
AV-perdition 8, destruction 5, waste 2, damnable 1, to die + 1519 1, perish + 1498 + 1519 1, pernicious 1; 20
1) destroying, utter destruction
1a) of vessels
2) a perishing, ruin, destruction
2a) of money
2b) the destruction which consists of eternal misery in hell
————————————————————————-
Therefore, we understand perdition means to perish or to die.
7.3 Who is the Son of Perdition?
In the 28th chapter of the Book of Ezekiel we find Yahweh addressing the Prince of Tyrus (A metaphor or type for Satan).
Ezekiel 28:1 The word of the LORD (Yahweh) came again unto me, saying,
28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus <06865>, 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,
7.4 What does the word Tyrus <06865> mean?
————————————————————————
Strong’s definition of Tyrus:
06865 \^ru\^ Tsor tsore or
\^rwu\^ Tsowr tsore
the same as 06864, Greek 5184 Τυρος and 4947 συρια; n pr loc; [BDB-862b] {See TWOT on 1965}
AV-Tyrus 22, Tyre 20; 42
Tyre or Tyrus= “a rock”
————————————————————————
It means rock in the context of
Deuteronomy 32:31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
In other words, the enemy has their rock (Satan) while we have our rock (Yahweh).
Prince of Tyrus, therefore means another name for Satan.
7.5 Why is Yahweh addressing Satan here in Ezekiel 28:18?
Eze 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
Satan is being judged by Yahweh for being the leader of the rebellion in Earth age #1 where he deceived one third of the angels into following him. Yahweh has sentenced Satan to die in the Lake of fire as described in the Book of Revelation. In other words Satan is the god of this world and is here on Earth along with his minions trying to deceive and cause the children of Yahweh to lose their souls in the second death.
Therefore, the Son of Perdition is Satan.
Therefore, the return of Jesus will not occur until after the apostasy happens and the Antichrist (Satan as the “fake” Jesus) is revealed to the world.
Note! The apostasy has already happened to a degree when we observe the confusion in doctrine and practice of the many church denominations that exist today. Some teachers believe that the event where Satan comes as the Fake Jesus, which causes many people to worship him is the great falling away. I tend to believe the falling away has already occurred. Therefore, we should be in the daily process of studying God’s word in order to have sufficient oil in our lamps so we won’t be deceived when the Antichrist shows up. We do not want to be among the Virgins (Christians,” 2Corinthians 11:2″) that did not have sufficient oil in their lamps. They had to go to town and buy oil. While they were gone, the Bridegroom (Jesus) came and shut the door, thus they missed the Marriage Supper of the Lamp. This parable of the 10 virgins is in Matthew chapter 25.
8.0 In order to arrive at an approximate date for Jesus’s 2nd advent, we need to start by asking “when was Jesus born?”
The world has been taught that Jesus was born on December 25, 5BC. The year is correct, however the month and day is incorrect.
History convincingly shows that December 25 was popularized as the date for Christmas, not because Christ was born on that day but because it was already popular in pagan religious celebrations as the birthday of the sun.
The biblical accounts point to the fall of the year as the most likely time of Jesus’ birth.
But is it possible that December 25 could be the day of Christ’s birth?
“Lacking any scriptural pointers to Jesus’s birthday, early Christian teachers suggested dates all over the calendar. Clement. . . picked November 18. Hippolytus . . . figured Christ must have been born on a Wednesday . . . An anonymous document[,] believed to have been written in North Africa around A.D. 243, placed Jesus’s birth on March 28” (Jeffery Sheler, U.S. News & World Report, “In Search of Christmas,” Dec. 23, 1996, p. 58).
A careful analysis of Scripture, however, clearly indicates that December 25 is an unlikely date for Christ’s birth. Here are three primary reasons:
8.1 We know that shepherds were in the fields watching their flocks at the time of Jesus’ birth (Luke 2:7-8).
Shepherds were not in the fields during December. According to Celebrations: The Complete Book of American Holidays, Luke’s account “suggests that Jesus may have been born in summer or early fall. Since December is cold and rainy in Judea, it is likely the shepherds would have sought shelter for their flocks at night” (p. 309).
Similarly, The Interpreter’s One-Volume Commentary says this passage argues “against the birth [of Christ] occurring on Dec. 25 since the weather would not have permitted” shepherds watching over their flocks in the fields at night.
8.2 Jesus’ parents came to Bethlehem to register in a Roman census (Luke 2:1-4).
Such censuses were not taken in winter, when temperatures often dropped below freezing and roads were in poor condition. Taking a census under such conditions would have been self-defeating.
Given the difficulties and the desire to bring pagans into Christianity, “the important fact then . . . to get clearly into your head is that the fixing of the date as December 25th was a compromise with paganism” (William Walsh, The Story of Santa Klaus, 1970, p. 62).
Did Jesus Christ birth occur on December 25th? Can we even know when Christ was born? Should we really be celebrating His birth?
If Jesus Christ wasn’t born on December 25, does the Bible indicate when He was born?
The biblical accounts point to the fall of the year as the most likely time of Jesus’ birth, based on the conception and birth of John the Baptist.
Since Elizabeth (John’s mother) was in her sixth month of pregnancy when Jesus was conceived (Luke 1:24-36), we can determine the approximate time of year Jesus was born if we know when John was born. John’s father, Zacharias, was a priest serving in the Jerusalem temple during the course of Abijah (Luke 1:5). Historical calculations indicate this course of service corresponded to June 13-19 in that year (The Companion Bible, 1974, Appendix 179, p. 200).
It was during this time of temple service that Zacharias learned that he and his wife Elizabeth would have a child (Luke 1:8-13). After he completed his service and traveled home, Elizabeth conceived (Luke 1:23-24). Assuming John’s conception took place near the end of June, adding nine months brings us to the end of March as the most likely time for John’s birth. Adding another six months (the difference in ages between John and Jesus) brings us to the end of September as the likely time of Jesus’ birth.
Note: The discussion above assumes the Gregorian calendar in use today was in use when Jesus was born. Not true, the Julian calendar was established in 45BC by Julius Caesar and the Gregorian calendar was established in 1582AD by Pope Gregory. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has computer programs that can input reverse time leading to exact agreement with historical events. Still they can only lead to approximate dates such as stated above (end of September being the likely time of Jesus’ birth). The question remains “can we nail down the exact date of Jesus’ birth?” The answer is no, however we can establish a 3rd witness supporting the conclusion above that Jesus was born latter part of September.
8.3 Jesus was born latter part of September according to Yahweh’s Solar Calendar.
We have to use the ancient Hebrew calendar from the book of Enoch to support this statement. Using Enoch’s calendar and the Holy Feast Days required by Yahweh for His people to observe every year, we can also arrive at an approximate date for Jesus’ birthday in our current Gregorian calendar.
The reader is encouraged to see the links below for understanding in detail Yahweh’s true calendar and how it relates to our current Gregorian calendar.
It is not necessary for this exercise to have the 5BC Julian calendar to determine the exact date of Jesus’ birth since others have already attempted that. We are only interested in the approximate date to illustrate how it relates to Yahweh’s calendar. His calendar always starts at the Spring Equinox and all feasts occur on the same day every year. The following discussion relates Yahweh’s calendar with our Gregorian calendar for 2023 as an example and it is shown in the PDF attached.
From our 2023 Gregorian calendar, we note the feast days to be observed and their date.
Passover (April 2) is our reminder that Christ died as the perfect sacrifice to pay for our sins.
Feast of Unleavened Bread (April 3-9) is a reminder that we must put sin and ‘commandments of men’ doctrine out of our lives.
Wave Sheaf/Feast of Firstfruits/Feast of Weeks (April 4) reminds us that Christ was raised from the dead.
Pentecost (May 23) reminds us that we the faithful are His watchmen and have received His Holy Spirit. We are His witnesses and must spread The Gospel and warn our people.
Feast of Trumpets (September 18) is a reminder of warning and preparation that He is coming soon.
The Day of Atonement (September 27) is a reminder to deny worldly things, to afflict ourselves with fasting for a day, and to trust in Yahweh.
Feast of Tabernacles (October 2-8) is a reminder of our history and heritage when Yahweh freed our ancestors from Egypt and they dwelt in the wilderness in tents/tabernacles protected by Yahweh. And that with true knowledge and understanding and obedience, He will come back to dwell with us.
And the Last Great Day (October 9) is a reminder to get right with God before it’s too late.
Note! Based on studies of other people who stated that Jesus was born on September 29, 5BC, we notice that date falls right in line with the Fall Feast Days of Trumpets, Tabernacles and the Last Great Day between September 18th and October 9th for our 2023 example. Is this coincidence or prophetic? All the Feast days are reminders and prophetic at one time or another. All the conclusions stated above in this paper correlate with Jesus’s birthday being in late September or early October. We know that He comes after the 7th (Last) trump and He came to tabernacle as Emmanuel (God with us) Matthew 1:23 and will come again to tabernacle with us in His Kingdom.
Bottom Line: Jesus Christ was born in late September or early October.
9.0 When will Jesus come back?
Based on a study of the Feast Days and their importance and Yahweh’s Solar Calendar, His 2nd Advent will occur sometime in late September or early October of our Gregorian Calendar in a future year. Today’s date is early February 2023 when this paper is being written. It is possible that 2023 could be the year when Jesus returns. If not, then some future year.
10.0 How long does Satan’s Global Government have to make war with Yahweh’s Saints?
In Revelation chapter 13, we have the rise of global government sometimes called the New World Order, in reality it is Satan’s Global Government or otherwise known as his fake kingdom of God. Let’s take a look at that chapter and comment as needed in bold type.
Revelation 13:1 ¶ And I (John the Apostle) stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast (government) rise up out of the sea (people), having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast (government) 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 (Satan) gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 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 (government).
4 And they (Luciferians) worshipped the dragon (Satan) which gave power unto the beast (government): and they worshipped the beast (government), saying, Who is like unto the beast (government)? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him (government) a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him (government) to continue forty and two months.
6 And he (government) opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him (government) to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him (government) over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (government), whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 ¶ And I beheld another beast (Satan) coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon (Satan).
12 And he (Satan) exerciseth all the power of the first beast (government) before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast (government), whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he (Satan) doeth great wonders, so that he (Satan) maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Note: Satan uses technology to imitate/fake the real power of Jesus. For example, laser beams from orbiting satellites, cell phones to track everyone and electronics to control the weather.
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power (imitation) to do in the sight of the beast (government); saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast (government), which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he (Satan) had power to give life unto the image of the beast (government), that the image of the beast (government) should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast (government) should be killed.
16 And he (Satan) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand (work for), or in their foreheads (minds):
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast (government), or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast (government): for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Therefore from Revelation 13:5 above, we know that Satan’s global government will have 42 months to overcome the Saints. (The Great Tribulation?)
11.0 What does Jesus have to say about the Great Tribulation?
Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s (Christians) sake those days shall be shortened.
Mark 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction (tribulation), such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. 20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s (Christians) sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
If Jesus doesn’t intervene and shorten the tribulation period of 42 months, then all humans would be killed.
12.0 What is the duration of the shortened great tribulation?
I believe the answer is in Revelation chapter 9.
Revelation 9:1 ¶ And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions (metaphor for enemies Luke 10:19) of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion (enemy), when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon (Satan), but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon (Satan).
Based on the above scripture, the duration of the great tribulation is 5 months, which correlates with the 5 month life cycle of real locusts.
13.0 Conclusions
If Jesus returns during the period of Trumpets, Tabernacles and Last Great Day of Yahweh’s Solar Calendar as described above in 9.0, then He will arrive sometime between late September and early October of our Gregorian Calendar.
For the sake of calculations, let’s say He returns on October 1. Therefore, if you backup 5 months, you will arrive at May 1.
So, if some fellow shows up around May 1 of this year or later years claiming to be Jesus in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem, take heed and don’t be deceived.

TEXT TAKEN FROM JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER MASONIC CREED
“We will keep their lives short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite. We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so that they never see what is happening. We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in food and water as well as in the air. They will be covered in poisons wherever they turn. The soft metals will make them lose their minds. We will promise to find a cure from our many funds, and yet we will give them more poison. Chemical poisons will be absorbed through the skin of idiots who believe that certain hygiene and beauty products presented by great actors and musicians, will bring eternal youth to their faces and bodies, and through their thirsty and hungry mouths, we will destroy their minds and systems of internal organs. reproduction. However, their children will be born as disabled and deformed and we will hide this information.”
