Alexis Tsipras the Antichrist?

NOTE: I HAVE TO SAY THAT THESE ARTICLES ARE OF GRAVE CONCERN. I CANNOT SAY  FOR SURE WHETHER THIS GUY IS THE REAL DEAL. GIVEN THE SITUATIONS ON EARTH TODAY, INCLUDING ALREADY FULFILLED PROPHECIES CONCERNING THE END TIMES, THIS FITS LIKE A HAND IN GLOVE. WE WILL KNOW THE SEASON OF OUR LORDS RETURN, BUT MAY NOT KNOW WHO THE ANTICHRIST IS. I DO BELIEVE THAT WE WILL SEE THINGS BEGIN TO LINE UP AND EVEN HAVE SUSPICIONS OF THE ANTICHRIST IDENTITY. THE ARTICLES SHOULD CONCERN ALL OF US AS LEADERS ARE BEING PUT INTO PLACE TO FULFILL WHAT IS TO COME. ONE OF THE MAIN IDENTIFIERS IS THAT THE ANTICHRIST WILL PREPARE A 7 YEARS PEACE PLAN WITH ISRAEL. IRONICALLY, THE POPE (FALSE PROPHET)IS VERY ACTIVE WITH TSIPRAS WHICH LENDS SUSPICION. WE WILL NEED TO WATCH THIS UNFOLD. IF YOU GET ANYTHIG ON THIS, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT TRSII2004@MSN.COM......TERRY/PWNG
 
 
Alexis Tsipras the Antichrist?
We are told in the Bible not to despise the day of small beginnings.  And that in following Gods Law of seed-time-harvest, everything big started as something little.  I want to proclaim not so much the fulfillment of something, but the start of it.  As a Seer, a Prophet - I also proclaim things.  It's one of the things prophets do.  Of course to be Prophetic, what is being proclaimed must be from the Lord, and not from myself.  Something has arisen on my radar that I want you to take a look at.

    There is a man running for Prime Minister of Greece who has recently come to my attention.  Mainly because of how much he lines up with some of the Biblical descriptions of the Antichrist.  At least how he would look in his early stages, to say . . a prophet.  To fully understand the most prophetic Book of Revelation, you must understand the prophecies from the Prophets of several Old Testament books.  Especially Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, but most especially the Book of Daniel.  There is more describing and relating to the Antichrist in Daniel than any other book in the Bible.

    Without trying to explain everything, I will do my best to stick to the few [relevant] things I want you to see from the Scripture as they relate to this man and his recent emergence onto the world scene.  I will paraphrase, as to do otherwise would take too much time and fill too many pages.  The "little horn" of Daniel is described as a man and is a symbol of the Antichrist.  Alexander, his kingdom, and the succession wars following his death are all encapsulated in a few chapters in Daniel.  Horns in the Bible are always symbols for kings and or kingdoms, the Bible itself explains this - it is not assumed.  

    The 4 horns where the little horn came out of are Alexander's Generals and the territories they commanded.  That's how any scholar would know where the Antichrist will come from because we know the areas they ruled over.   Which after the succession wars, would be today known as Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Syria.  We know from prophecies in Revelation describing the Beast [another symbol for the Antichrist] that the government of the Antichrist will be Greek in form.  We also know that the spirit of Grecia, a fallen angel named in Daniel, is the spirit that went ahead of Alexander giving him victory after victory.  This angel was locked in the abyss after the death of Alexander, is released in Revelation, and will go ahead of the Antichrist in the same way - ensuring rapid victory over 3 nations, again named in Daniel.  

    Alexander (which means friend of man) died when he was 33.  The guy I'm talking about Alexis Tsipras, became the head of his political party at 33 - the youngest ever.  Which was practically handed to him.  His party is called SYRIZA, which is an acronym of what would be in English - Coalition of the Radical Left.  They used the first 2 letters of the first word in Greek, could have done the same with the second word - but used the first 3 letters instead.  I think it was just to avoid the party name being SYRIA.  Which is actually one of the countries the Antichrist takes over, and becomes King.  I don't think they know anything about this, or about the Bible.  They're just fulfilling Scripture, as ultimately - we all will.

    So this guy Alexis is saying some pretty big things that no one knows how he will bring them about.  The little horn is described in Daniel as speaking boastfully and arrogantly.  He was a student leader and his student movement was called "The Earthquake."  He wants to be the earthquake that shakes the euro zone (Washington Post).  His party almost won the last election a week ago, and he said "On Sunday, the old world will die."  The Bible says that the Antichrist will try to change times, as well as sacred laws and moral practice.  The Economic Times said about Alexis and his partner Betty "In trademark defiance of traditional Greek society, the two have not married."  

    There is no word for coincidence in the Hebrew language.  Out of all of Paul's letters it is his second Letter to the Church at Thessalonica that speaks more about the Antichrist than any other.  SYRIZA held it's pre election campaign rally last Friday in - you guessed it, Thessalonica.  If it were just that it would be weak, but it's not, which makes it downright uncanny.  I don't know if this guy is him or not.  What I do know is that if it's not, then it's the beginning of the Rise.  Which for Believers everywhere, is a good thing.  As it ushers in the return of the real King.  I'll keep you posted, if we're still here.
 
A Charismatic New World Leader Appears From Nowhere And Takes Control Of Greece - Geri Ungurean  - http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=30736 
 
A man has come on the international scene, and many who know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, are taking a hard look at him.
 
"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." Revelation 13:2 (KJV)
 
EDITOR'S NOTE: We are looking for Jesus Christ, and not the Antichrist. But when we discovered this new "mystery man" who from nowhere has taken rock-star control of Greece, is backed by George Soros, has formed alliance with Russia and is talking with Pope Francis about a peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinians. We thought you just might want to know about it.
.
His name is Alexis Tsipras, and it seems that he meets much of the criteria of the prophesied Antichrist. He was just elected as the Prime Minister of Greece. He is an atheist and a far left winger. His party in Greece is called SYRIZA. He has appeared out of nowhere in the last couple of years, almost magically. He has landed himself in a most precarious situation. Greece is broken. Is he the one to fix it, and also the EU which is struggling and groping at almost anything to revive Europe? All eyes are on this man.
 
On Sept 17, 2014 Mr. Tsipras met with Pope Francis at the Vatican. He was the first leader of a left-wing party that met the head of the Roman-Catholic church-ever. This is not surprising with this Pope, because he is rabidly ecumenical, and very "Green",  always talking about global warming and people harming the earth. It has been said that Tsipras and the Pope get along famously, and are in one accord. No problem that one claims to be the head of the "faithful" on this earth, and the other, a staunch atheist. Could it be that there are unseen circumstances, not being divulged to the public? I would say, assuredly so.
 
Terry James of Rapture Ready wrote a piece on the possibility of this man being the Antichrist, but he made strong point at the beginning of the piece, telling Christians that we should be looking for the glorious appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ to Rapture His church from this earth.
 
Here are two excerpts from Terry James article on "Nearing Midnight"
 
Antichrist Archetype Emerges
 
"...There has surfaced, in my view at least, an archetype of the leader to come who will be the first beast of Revelation 13.  This generation is not yet in the Tribulation, but is experiencing precursors to that last seven years that makes us know that a time of unprecedented troubles is just ahead. Likewise, a leader has arisen from the area of the reviving Roman Empire, one whose emergence makes the observant Bible prophecy student suspect ever more assuredly that Antichrist is waiting in the shadows of the immediate future.
 
Any such leader rising suddenly and dramatically out of the very nucleus of what was ancient Rome justifiably raises the eyebrows of Bible prophecy students.  The visible, physical reactions of those who have put him on his pedestal are quite interesting...glassy eyes filled with tears of joy, as they looked worshipfully at the man on whom they are hanging their hopes.  As a matter of fact, the slogan for his campaign was "Hope is coming!" - Terry James, RaptureReady.com
 
"I think we are looking at an archetype of the man whose name will add up to six hundred, three score and six."-Terry" 
.
Here is part of a blogpost from christianpost.com:
 
"One interesting candidate that is clearly different from most of the others is Greek politician Alexis Tsipras He is the nominee for the Party of the European left; he also is the youngest of all the candidates at 39 years of age. He is a total atheist whose political roots are in socialism and communism. He remains un-married, but has cohabitated with his high school girlfriend for twenty years and they have one child.

Not only is he a wildly popular figure in Greece, but was elected unanimously to the SYRIZA a conglomerate of 13 far left radical groups. He has an Obama-like quality of being believed without a long established history of significant accomplishments or well accepted political plans or skills." 
 
Alexis Tsipras sworn into office takes Civil Oath
 
"Alexis Tsipras, who was sworn in earlier this week as the new Prime Minister of Greece, has become his country's first openly atheist leader. A survey noted that atheist leaders in Europe are becoming more prominent, with France and Croatia also being led by non-religious figures.
 
Tsipras was sworn in on Monday after his Syriza party won the elections in Greece, but he chose not to take a religious oath at the ceremony. Reuters noted that Tsipras, whose left-wing party has opposed austerity measures, broke from tradition when he decided to take a civil, rather than a biblical oath." 
 
He is the first leader of Greece to refuse to take a religious oath on the Bible in the history of the country.
 
Tsipras has met with Pope Francis to discuss a peace treaty with Israel:
 
Tsipras said: "Even though we started from different points, ideological points, we believe we have common positions in the principles of solidarity, in the principles of justice, peace and cohesion."
 
"We agreed on the need to continue the dialogue between the European left and the Christian church," he said. "There is a need to create an ecumenical alliance against poverty, inequalities, against the logic that markets and profits are above people."" - Alexis Tsipras in meeting with Pope Francis
.
The Pope and the new Greek leader also discussed climate change. Pope Francis is open to everyone, well almost everyone. He embraces the Atheist, the Wiccan, really any beliefs are fine with him, as long as social justice is addressed and a common hatred of Capitalism is quite important.
 
Think of how the bible describes the character and nature of the Antichrist, while you read the following quote from Alexis Tsipras official website:
 
"We discussed the need for peace to return on earth, for the immediate cease of war interventions...asked him to take an international initiative for the termination of conflicts in the Middle East. Finally, we agreed that the dialogue between the Left and the Christian Church must go on. We may have different ideological starting points; however, we converge on common values, like solidarity, love for the fellow Human being, social justice, and our concern regarding world peace." Alexis Tsipras in his meeting with Pope Francis
.
Alexis Tsipras as the Antichrist? Pope Francis as the False Prophet? It certainly is pretty interesting, wouldn't you say?
 
George Soros backs Tsipras
 
"The Guardian featured an article today about George Soros and the opening of his "Solidarity Center" in Thessaloniki, Greece, the first of many he plans to open in order to help Greeks who were hit the worst by the economic crisis."

 

Prophecy pastor JD Farag in Hawaii talking about this ground-breaking NTEB original story:
 
http://youtu.be/BujzOXbx-6E
 

 
You see, it is a hobby of Mr. Soros to take his billions of dollars and play politics. He groomed Barack Obama for his entrance onto the world stage. He is part of the New World Order (Illuminati). He is probably one of the most evil people who ever walked the earth. Strong statement - I know. But how about Hitler? Of course, Hitler was incredibly evil. But did you know what George Soros did in Germany during the Holocaust? He was a teen and from a billionaire father. He was a Jew, but to save his own life, he turned in his fellow Jews to be loaded on the trains, heading for their deaths. He is unrepentant of these deeds - he says there is nothing to be sorry about.
 
Isn't it interesting that the pre-elections took place in Thessaloniki (Thessalonica from the Bible) and now Mr. Soros has established his Solidarity Center in that same city? One thing I find fascinating is that in the Bible, the Antichrist was spoken of in much detail by the Apostle Paul in the book of 2 Thessalonians 2:
 
"Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 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. 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;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.
 
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 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: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
 
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. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
 
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work."
.
There are no coincidences with our God.
 
"According to the article Aliki Mouriki, a sociologist of the Greek National Center for Social Research said: "Greece, to a great degree, has become a failed state. It is unable to provide basic facilities for its citizens because of budget cuts. In the absence of public welfare, and with around one and a half million officially unemployed, growing numbers are looking for substitutes elsewhere."
 
Last year, George Soros had offered Greek institutions 1 million dollars to buy heating oil, after mayors in different Greek municipalities requested help. "It had got to the point where some of the schools had not a drop of oil left. This month we got 20,000 tons from Soros and it has really helped. The government has now promised an extra four million euros but we have yet to see it," said the mayor of Naoussa in Northern Greece.
 
George Soros has donated money for heating oil to approximately 190 Greek institutions such as orphanages, schools, nurseries and homes of the elderly and is planning to open "Solidarity Centers" around Greece. The first one opened in Thessaloniki just a few days ago and is already filled with applications.
 
George Soros' philanthropy has been the subject of a great controversy. Parents' associations all over Greece are refusing donations because they are suspicious of his motives. Yiannis Boutaris, mayor of Thessaloniki responded saying "Why Soros gives money to Thessaloniki or other Greek regions, or even to NGOs to help vulnerable groups, should not be the centre of attention. It is the fact that Greek tycoons, shipowners and those from the diaspora don't follow his example."
 
Russia is looking to make an ally within its biggest enemy - Greece
 
The plot is beginning to thicken.
 
Greece's defense minister was invited to Moscow to meet Sergei Shoygu, his Russian counterpart, in the near future. Greece is part of the 28 members of NATO. Russia has always regarded NATO is its biggest threat. Now, Russia appears to have a newfound interest in establishing a relationship with Greece's defense minister. On Tuesday Kammenos met with both the US and Russian ambassadors to Greece.
 
The solidarity shown to #Greece by the peoples of Europe is the European "dream" in practice. It is the future of #Europe
 
- Alexis Tsipras (@tsipras_eu) February 10, 2015
.
"The discussion with the ambassador of Russia, Mr. Maslov, was also about the pending agreements between the Ministries of National Defence of Greece and Russia, the capabilities of a strategic cooperation, the organisation of the year of Greek-Russian friendship in 2016 which will take place in Greece and in Russia. I received an invitation by Russia's Minister of Defence to visit Moscow within the next period of time," Kammenos wrote on Greece's Ministry of National Defense website." 
 
The new Greek government at times has been critical of both the EU and NATO. Tsipras has spoken of withdrawing from NATO.
 
"On Nato, Syriza describes its approach as a 'multi-dimensional, pro-peace foreign policy for Greece, with no involvement in wars or military plans.' It seeks 'the re-foundation of Europe away from artificial divisions and Cold War alliances such as Nato.' ... Last year on Syriza MP called for Greece to leave Nato altogether, though the comments were rapidly played down by senior officials," writes BBC.
 
"The new Greek government is cause for concern, especially because Tsipras has voiced his opposition to NATO membership in the past," Ian Bremmer told Business Insider last week. "And his early actions - these comments regarding sanctions, as well as his meeting with the Russian ambassador to Greece without hours of taking office - demonstrates that he is willing to engage differently with Moscow."
 
It Was Just Like Obama's First Election Night!"
 
Already there are comparisons between Tsipras and Obama. The adoring crowds. The rock star status. The people really don't know much about their new PM. Sound familiar?
 
They know that Tsipras met his partner, and mother of his kids, in high school, when they both joined Student's for Communism.
 
I have been digging into the Internet, attempting to find everything I can about Alexis Tsipras. What I am about to tell you will probably shock you as it did me. I want to stress that I have found this information on different Greek sites (translated of course) and it by no means proves that this is true. But if it is, then I do think that we "may" be looking at the Wicked (as the Bible calls him).
 
Here is what I have been reading:
 
"The father of Alexis Cipra, Pavlos Cipra, died in 2012. He was a billionaire with a direct link with the Mossad, he was the father of a slave BHL entrepreneur in Africa where he was trafficking in Africans. He sent dozens of Africans in Greece in order to exploit them, giving them just enough to survive in its construction companies and public travux.

 

 The family business "SKAPANEA" was responsible for all major public works in Greece since the junta until today, construction / restoration of Orthodox churches through broadcasting. Like the Italian Mafia, the other companies have to pay a percentage to the "family" if they want to survive. " 
 
Yes, you read that correctly. I have been finding people in Greece saying that Tsipras is actually "Cipra" and is of Jewish blood.
 
"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." Many End Times scholars have concluded that this passage of Scripture from Daniel 11:37 shows the Antichrist to be atheist, since he no longer regards the God of his fathers.
 
We as children of God, should be looking for the Blessed Hope of His appearing to catch us away from this wicked planet. But we should also be watchmen on the wall, discerning the times and events. In this way, we will be more informed to share our thoughts and Scripture with others.
 
 And when I look at Tsipras/Cipra - I see someone who may just be the man of sin of which the Bible speaks.
 
We won't be here, but this should give us pause, and make us realize that we need to share the Gospel with everyone we know!!

Greek "Hope," the Pope, the Feasts and the Beasts - By Cynthia Nuara - http://www.raptureready.com/soap2/nuara28.html 

 
"We have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place..." (2 Peter 1:19). 
 
What does Tisha B'Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, have to do with the new leader of Greece, who has just burst onto the world stage?  What does Yom Kippur, the most solemn of the seven appointed Feast Days of the Lord, have to do with the pope?  And what two things about the final blood moon of the tetrad on the Feast of Tabernacles (coming in September) make it different from the rest? 
 
Of all the things I could have accidentally deleted that didn't get into my recent article (Alexis the Great, Hope of Europe and the World?), was a section going into more detail concerning Tsipras and his Syriza party's relationship with Israel, the most important nation in Bible prophecy.  However, there have been some interesting developments in that regard since then.
 
"HOPE," YOU SAY?  NOT ON THAT DAY!
 
From Jewish News Service, Jewish Leaders Express Mixed Feelings on New Greek Government:
 
"Jewish leaders have expressed both hope and concern over the outcome of the Greek election ...in which the radical left-wing Syriza party won... B'nai Brith International told JNS.org in a statement that the group is concerned by some past statements about Israel made by [Syriza] party leaders, but hopes that the relationship with Israel, which had been building over the past decade in many fields, will be unaffected by the outcome...Yet Rabbi Andrew Baker, AJC's director of international Jewish affairs, told JNS.org that there are 'troubling signs' from the election.'" - JNS.org
 
Alexis Tsipras, the new prime minister of Greece, was born on Tisha B'Av.  I might have picked up on this fact that one of my readers pointed out to me had I realized that this day doesn't always occur in August, but can fall in late July.  Many calamities have befallen the Jews on this day throughout history, but the reason Jews began acknowledging this as a day of mourning is because it was the day their first temple (Solomon's Temple) was destroyed.  Also on Tisha B'Av (656 years later), the second temple was destroyed.  For thousands of years this has been the day the Jews mourn for their lost temple. 
 
Tsipras' birth on Tisha B'Av may not be a coincidence given how he and his radical, far-left Syriza party feels about Israel and the Jews.  No matter what their relationship turns into now that he's in power, should we trust it? 
 
Also, because both temples were destroyed on this calamitous day in history, it makes one wonder if Tisha B'Av has significance concerning the third temple, when the Antichrist breaks his peace "covenant with many" and defiles the third temple halfway into the seven-year Tribulation.  The Jews will then recognize him for who he truly is.
 
For more astonishing information on the many tragic event that have occurred on Tisha B'Av, read that section of my Rapture Ready article at:   www.raptureready.com/soap/nuara12.html
 

 
From The Guardian, Alexis Tsipras: The Syriza Leader About To Take Charge In Greece
 
"As Greece descended into economic crisis, there were almost no signs that the young ideologue, an ardent admirer of...Che Guevara, the Argentinean Marxist revolutionary [and Castro's chief executioner], would emerge as the wild card to challenge Europe or Athens' own dynastic politics and vested interests.  For his critics, who are legion, he is a dangerous narcissist...Last week, the deputy premier and socialist leader, Evangelos Venizelos, likened him to Harry Potter for making promises that could only exist in the realm of fantasy" --- TheGuardian.com
 
The world would indeed be amazed if Tsipras miraculously turned this fantasy into reality.
 
News of late tells us that something does appear to be changing regarding the new leadership in Greece and its relationship with Israel.  But "Can a leopard take away its spots...?" (Jeremiah 13:23).  Interestingly, Greece is represented by a leopard in Daniel's vision.  The following is from RaptureReady.com, What are the four beasts of Daniel's visions?
 
"After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird.  The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it" (Daniel 7:6).
 
The third beast is like a leopard with four wings and four heads, representing the Greek Empire, which was divided into four parts after the death of Alexander of Macedonia.  The Greek army was the most efficient army up to that time. Alexander the Great conquered all of Asia Minor (Turkey) in less than two years... He defeated Darius III... taking control of the Persian Empire. That is why it was symbolized as a leopard with wings."
 
A CHANGE IN TACTICS
 
Tsipras' Syriza Party supports the Palestinian cause and, during last summer's Gaza conflict, he accused Israel of being the "brutal aggressor."  The Jewish community in Greece has experienced rising anti-Semitic sentiment due to the country's economic crisis and the Gaza conflict.  However, the incoming Greek ambassador to Israel said that Greece could possibly mediate between Israel, Palestinians, and Iran. 
 
From The Times of Israel, New Greek PM Is Pro-Palestinian, But Envoy to Israel Predicts Only Positive Things:
 
 "...The new Greek government...might have some problems with some of [Israel's] policies.  But that will not change the overall target, which is the stability of the region...beneficial to both countries.  It is true that some voices in Syriza (acronym for Coalition of the Radical Left) are leaning toward the Palestinian narrative.  But there are several indications that Jerusalem has no need to worry.  For one, politicians act differently once they are in charge of running a country...much more responsible and careful in the policies they are about to advocate."  --- TimesofIsrael.com
 
Well, it looks like Tsipras and his new government is indeed wasting no time in implementing a change in its relationship with Israel.  Greek defense minister, Kammenos, said that Greece, Cyprus, Israel and possibly Egypt would begin joint exercises within the coming months aimed at improving regional security. 
 
From The Times of Israel, Greece Plans Military Exercises with Israel,  Egypt:   "Kammenos criticized as a clear provocation Turkey's sending of a survey ship to the waters where (oil) drilling is taking place.  'We want peace,' Kammenos told reporters, 'but we are also ready to respond to any attempt against the national sovereignty or territorial integrity of the broader defense area of Greece and Cyprus, if necessary.'"
 
AND THE POPE?  NO WAY!  AND ON WHAT DAY?
 
Francis is coming to the US on September 23rd.  He will be the first leader of the Catholic Church in history to address both houses of Congress.  "It will be a historic visit, and we are truly grateful that His Holiness has accepted our invitation," House speaker John Boehner said in a statement.  President Obama said he is looking forward to welcoming him to the US.
 
Do you know what day that happens to be?  It's The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), the most solemn holy day of all the Jewish feasts and festivals.  On that day the Jews mourn and ask God for forgiveness of their sins.  In the Book of Leviticus, on this day the High Priest would perform sacred rites in order to make amends for the people's sins.
 
Don't be deceived into receiving the wrong sign from the pope's visit on Yom Kippur.  Jesus is our High Priest, the only one who can forgive sins ((Hebrews 2:17; 3:1; 4:14-5:10; 6:20; 7:11-8:2; 10:12).
 
It is only through Jesus that we can come boldly to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:14-16). 
 
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me'" (John 14:6).
 
"For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5).
 
A SEPTEMBER TO REMEMBER
 
God put lights in the heavens "for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years" (Genesis 1:14).
 
Some discount or downplay any significance of the rare blood moon tetrads, but they're even more rare when they all fall on feast days.  Historically there is evidence that such occurrences have taken place during a year where there are world-impacting events surrounding Israel.
 
An article at WND.com, Blood Moons Expert: Watch 2014 and 2015, explains the significant events surrounding the blood moon tetrads in history, as they relate to Israel.  Here is the link:
 
 http://www.wnd.com/2013/10/blood-moons-expert-watch-2014-and-2015/
 
The blood moon tetrad began last year on the Feast of Passover and will culminate on the final feast day of this year, The Feast of Tabernacles.  Given the events of last year and ones that appear to loom large for the near future, it could be said that they have and will show prophetic significance.  However, this shouldn't be confused with the sixth seal judgment (Revelation 6:12), since the rapture hasn't occurred, nor are we in the Tribulation yet. 
 
It is said that, according to Jewish rabbis, total lunar eclipses are bad omens for Israel, since they go by the lunar calendar, and total solar eclipses are bad omens for the Gentile nations, who go by the solar calendar.
 
Just before the pope's US visit, there will be a "partial" solar eclipse on The Feast of Trumpets (Sept. 13).  Following his speech on the day of Yom Kippur (Sept. 23), there will be a total lunar eclipse on The Feast of Tabernacles (Sept. 28).  The blood moon on this feast day is the last of the tetrad and will be the only one seen in Israel.  It just so happens that it will also be a Super Moon.  The Jews in Israel who observe this feast eat and sleep (the males do) in hastily-constructed dwellings (succahs), with roofs that don't completely obstruct their view of the sky.
 
If you've never watched the late Grant Jeffrey's program on The Phenomenon of Biblical Anniversaries, you've really missed a fascinating study.  Or, perhaps you'd like to view it again.  Here is the link to part two, which discusses events that have occurred on the fall feast days.
 
 http://www.itbn.org/index/detail/ec/d2OGQ2ODrW1lqAHHkFTI4MQ8KZ2tLXwF
 
Since I cannot find part one of the televised program, this link describes events that have occurred on all the feast days/special observances, as discussed by Grant Jeffrey, for those who would prefer to have this in writing:
 
 https://endtimebibleprophecyblog.wordpress.com/tag/grant-jeffrey/
 
ABOUT THE RAPTURE AND THE DAY OF THE LORD
 
We shouldn't pin all our hopes on the rapture occurring during the Feast of Trumpets.  What we do know is that we are not destined for wrath and are to comfort one another with that knowledge (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 4:18; 5:11; Revelation 3:10).  We're to keep ourselves ready as we await our Blessed Hope, Jesus Christ, to come for us.
 
We know about the New Testament rapture scriptures, but the rapture is even hinted at in the Book of Isaiah.  Some say it's talking about the middle of the Tribulation period, when the Jews go into hiding while God unleashes His wrath.  This cannot be the case, because this passage speaks of a resurrection: 
 
"Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise.  Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.  Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.  For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain" (Isa. 26:19-21).
 
The Day of the Lord" prophesied for the future refers to The Tribulation and not the rapture. 
 
"Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy hill.  Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming.  It is close at hand" (Joel 2:1; see also Zephaniah 1:14, 16).
 
PEOPLE, GET READY
 
"I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction" (2 Timothy 4:1-2).
 
"And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.  But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts" (Romans 13: 11-14).
 
All the signs given by Jesus and His prophets are converging---coming together at the same time.  Never before has this been the case.  As prophesied for the end days, the players are all lined up to fulfill the prophecy in Isaiah 17 and Psalm 83, and they're lining up for the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39.  Jews in Europe are fleeing to Israel due to rampant anti-Semitism.  False prophets are deceiving their flocks in an amazing number of churches. 
 
A false unity of religions is coming together at a breathtaking pace and is headed down the road to Rome.  This is the end-time apostasy of which the Bible speaks, preparing the way for the False Prophet, who comes onto the scene like a lamb with an attractive manner and convincing words, deceiving many.  But he speaks like a dragon; his message is not from God (Revelation 13:11).
 
We see that the Mother of Harlots  Mystery Babylon church is a one-world false religious system in this passage:  "Where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages" (Revelation 17:15). 
 
"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 'Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.  For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities'" (Revelation 18:4-5).
 
A LAMP SHINING IN A DARK PLACE
 
I want to conclude with reasons why it's urgent that you study Bible prophecy and keep up with what is going on around you, even more now than ever. 
 
We all have friends and family members who will refuse to accept Christ and will be left behind after the rapture.  The False Prophet (the second beast) will cause all to worship the Antichrist (the first beast) and to receive his mark.  If they take this mark, they will be lost for eternity. If you know end-times Bible prophecy, you will at least be able to warn them about what's coming.  When they see these things happening, hopefully they'll turn to Christ before it's too late.
 
From Don Hooser at UCG Bible Study:  "Jesus and the apostles exhort us to actively 'watch'! 
 
Peter warns us, 'Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour' (1 Peter:5:8).  Staying aware of the powerful behind-the-scenes role of Satan and his demons enables us to understand the atrocious evil and madness of this world.  It also enables us to resist them (James:4:7). 
 
In light of the above, we see that in addition to concern we should have in personally drawing close to God and over what is happening in God's Church, we are clearly also to watch, listen and read to keep up with world news, events, conditions and trends."
 
 
Jesus' Warning to "Watch" - Just What Did He Mean? 
 
 http://www.ucg.org/bible-study/jesus-warning-watch-just-what-did-he-mean/
 
From Britt Gillette of RaptureReady.com:  "Bible prophecy is the most powerful witness to the divinity of Christ.  So don't listen to those who claim that Bible prophecy distracts us from the true Christian mission.  Quite the contrary, all Bible prophecy points to Jesus Christ Himself."
 
"For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus" (Revelation 19:10, NLT).
 
 Why Study Bible Prophecy?  http://www.raptureready.com/featured/gillette/study.html
 
In the Book of Revelation, God gives a special blessing to those who read and heed the prophecy:
 
"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants-things which must shortly take place.  And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near" (Revelation 1:1-3).
 
"We have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place..." (2 Peter 1:19).

Openly Atheist Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras Leading Rise In Anti-God EU Leaders - Geoffrey Grider - http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=31040 

 
Europe is rapidly realigning itself behind the charismatic new Greek leader
 
"But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things." Daniel 11:38 (KJV)
 
Like Pope Francis in Rome, new Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is making dizzyingly-fast change in Greece that is having a ripple effect across Europe. The anti-God leader's example has given rise to atheist leaders in other Euro nations.
 
Round and round she goes, and where she stops only the prophets know...
 
Alexis Tsipras, who was sworn in earlier this week as the new Prime Minister of Greece, has become his country's first openly atheist leader. A survey noted that atheist leaders in Europe are becoming more prominent, with France and Croatia also being led by non-religious figures.
 
Already there are comparisons between Tsipras and Obama. The adoring crowds. The rock star status. The people really don't know much about their new PM. Sound familiar?
 
Tsipras was sworn in on Monday after his Syriza party won the elections in Greece, but he chose not to take a religious oath at the ceremony. Reuters noted that Tsipras, whose left-wing party has opposed austerity measures, broke fromtradition when he decided to take a civil, rather than a biblical oath.
 
Quartz analyzed public statements from European leaders and identified at least two others who have also said that they are atheists - French President Francois Hollande and Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic.
 
Hollande, who was raised a Roman Catholic but left the religion, said in 2002: "I have reached a point where what is clear to me is the conviction that God doesn't exist, rather than the contrary." He separately added that he respects all faith, but chooses not to have one.

We Are There, in the Last of Days, the End of Times!

We Are There, in the Last of Days, the End of Times! - By Don Twobears - http://www.raptureready.com/featured/twobear/twobears211.html 

 
I wonder how many people are able to see the writing on the wall today? Oh, you can sit there and say that you don't see anything different going on, but is that the truth? The question is this:
 
 "Are we or are we not in the last days?"
 
 Here is some Scripture to get those mental cogs moving and for some, those cogs are a little rusty from sitting idle:
 
 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come" (2 Timothy 3:1).
 
 "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived" (2 Timothy 3:13).
 
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables" (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
 
My friends, let's not delude ourselves here. Here is the plain truth: We are...indeed...in the last days. All of us around the world have seen the tsunamis, the huge hurricanes, the tornado swarms, the ground opening up in huge holes, so on and so forth. Nations are against nations and kingdoms are against kingdoms...we are in the last days. Let's stop fooling ourselves and call it what we all know it is.
 
Time and again we have seen big televangelists take the big fall from grace, we see the people turning from their churches, for varying reasons, whether true or not. So the question is, what do you call this? A falling away, the Apostasy of the church. Is this not written in the Word of God?
 
"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. 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; 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" (2 Thessalonians 2:2-4).
 
"That the day of Christ is at hand" means we are in the last days. And then we read about the falling away, this is the Apostasy of the church of Jesus Christ. It is where the people that once hungered for the Word of God have turned their ears and minds from the Word of Truth, because their ears "itch" to hear things that fulfill them in this day and time. We call this the "prosperity" and the "feel-good" gospel.
 
The problem is this: If you chase after those types of teachings you are busy hoarding stuff for yourself, stuff that is physical-NOT spiritual. You are tired of hearing about SIN and the resulting destruction of it, so you hunger to hear how wonderful you are; how God is going to bless you with more money and how happy you will then be. That is a lie.
 
If that is what you want to hear, then know, that it is the gospel according to Satan and his ilk. Know that you are being deceived...you are not inclined to the absolute truth. The physical stays right here on earth...but you will not stay here on earth. If you do not go in the Rapture, you will stay right here on earth until you die. Once you join everyone else in the spiritual realm, you will be judged by Jesus Christ.
 
You will go either to the Great White Throne of Jesus Christ or you will go to the Bema Seat of Jesus Christ.
 
The Great White Throne of Jesus Christ is where they will look to see if your name is written in the Lambs Book of Life. If it is not written there, guess where you will go? The lake of fire!
 
If you go before the Bema Seat of Jesus Christ, you will be rewarded for your work for Jesus Christ while alive here on earth. You will be in heaven for eternity.
 
I am not saying this to you, the Word of God is saying it. I am simply relaying to you that YOU have a choice to make. To be able to make that choice you need this information. You are not able to get to heaven by any other way than through Jesus Christ and that means with His blood covering your sins. You have heard that God is no respecter of persons. Do you know what that means?
 
HE doesn't care how wonderful you think you are, HE doesn't care how powerful you think you are. It does not matter how high your position is, if you are NOT covered by the blood of Jesus Christ-you will NOT see heaven. You must come to Jesus Christ, humbling yourself before Him and ask Him to forgive you of your sins.
 
You must accept His gift of grace to you in all humility. You must bathe in his blood from the Cross at Calvary and give up your life to Him. You must hang your "old self" there on His Cross and become a "new creature." It is so simple, it hurts. There is NO other way!
 
Priests are humans just like you and me and there is NO intercession to heaven through them. They must accept the same as you and me, and that is through Jesus Christ alone. No one is able to pray you into heaven, Mary is not the queen of heaven. Jesus Christ is God and HE is the only way to heaven.
 
If anyone tells you any differently...they are lying to you. Read the Word of God...your Bible...and believe what is there. It is the absolute truth, from God's lips to your ears and mine.
 
The Apostasy is here and now, the persecution of Christians is here and now, the world is evil beyond compare, just as it was before the Flood of Noah. Just as it was before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Rapture of the church of Jesus Christ is so close, that it hurts. And to be very honest with you, the lack of this knowledge by the vast majority of people pains my heart. I can't even begin to tell you how it must pain the heart of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
 
If you walk into a church and you feel like you are in the presence of the Lord, if you feel humbled...do you listen to your feelings? Do you ever wonder if God is trying to tell you something? Do you ever go to a funeral or a wake and sense some sort of fear? Do you think the Lord is trying to tell you something? Have you ever wondered if you are being called to, that God may be trying to get your attention? Then wake-up and answer Him.
 
As you go about your day, as you hear the news of all the death and destruction and you're still alive and doing fairly well, do you get the sense that something BIG is about to happen? You see everyone across the planet is screaming for peace and yet the wars escalate. Do you think to yourself, something is very, very, wrong?
 
 People on this planet will never be able to bring about any peace. That is because everyone is as fallen as you are, we are of the exact same species as everyone else and we humans are fallen from grace since Adam and Eve. It's called SIN!
 
It is because of our SIN that this world is so corrupt, so fallen, so lacking peace and harmony. And if peace and harmony are what you seek, then Jesus Christ is the only One that has it and You must go to Him. Hatred, anger, selfishness, death and perversion are here because of people listening to Satan and his ilk. Why do you think the Word of God says this?: "You must take up your Cross, deny yourself and follow me [Jesus]."
 
There just ain't NO other way! It's that simple.
 
I am going to say it again and I will keep saying it: There is no Allah, there is NO other God, there is no one that can get you into heaven, pray you into heaven; there is NO queen of heaven. There IS ONLY Jesus Christ.
 
"For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2).
 
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" (Matthew 11:28-30).
 
I do NOT see any other name in Scripture...than Jesus Christ!
 
Jesus Christ IS God!
 
"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city" (Revelation 22:12-14).
 
"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" (John 3:16).
 
All Scripture is quoted from the King James Version of the Bible (KJV) and all emboldened Scripture is added by the author for emphasis.

The Rise of the Little Horn of Daniel? -

The Rise of the Little Horn of Daniel? - By pastor Mike Taylor - http://www.churchofgod-usa.org/1/post/2015/02/the-rise-of-the-little-horn-of-daniel.html
 
 Daniel 11:36  "And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
 
 11:37  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.
 
 11:38  But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
 
 11:39  Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain."
 
 In this passage, the prophet Daniel was given information about a coming king who will exalt himself above the God of heaven in his abominations and blasphemy. Of course, this passage is about the coming Anti-Christ. And like other authors, I believe we should be looking for the return of the King of kings, our Lord, Jesus Christ and not looking for the Anti-Christ, BUT in the same breath, realize that as the time grows short for our Lord's return,  that there will be signs and symptoms present when the coming of the lawless one is close. So if the lawless one be close, the coming of the King of kings, is even closer.
 
 II Thessalonians :
 
 2:3  "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;
 
 2:4  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.
 
 2:5  Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
 
 2:6  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
 
 2:7  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
 
 2:8  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:
 
 2:9  Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
 
 2:10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved."
 
 In this passage, Paul explains to the people who thought that they had missed the coming of the Lord, and all were scared to death that the Tribulation was upon them, even back in Paul's day. But Paul admonished them, and encouraged them that that day would not come, until certain things must happen. A falling away would happen, or apostasy within even the church. The Holy Spirit would be withdrawn "He who let will let, till HE be taken out of the way." I believe a clear passage that God will remove His protective hand, and the Holy Spirit's protection from the earth back to pre-Pentecostal times, and let Satan have full sway over the inhabitants of this earth, to deceive, to destroy, and to obtain worship for himself through one possessed individual, the Anti-Christ. Now saying that, let us turn to a recent event that will give any Bible believing person pause and turn their attention to a man who has risen to power, from out of no-where, in a country that is part of the revised Roman Empire.
 
 Rise of the Little Horn?
 
 Daniel 7:7  "After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
 
 7:8  I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."
 
 I have been watching and being amazed at the sudden rise of one man to power from out of "no-where" that has taken over the country of Greece. His name is Alexis Tsipras. From a Christian Blog:
 
 "One interesting candidate that is clearly different from most of the others is Greek politician Alexis Tsipras.  He is the nominee for the Party of the European left; he also is the youngest of all the candidates at 39 years of age. He is a total Marxist/atheist whose political roots are in socialism and communism. He remains un-married, but has cohabitated with his high school girlfriend for twenty years and they have one child."
 
 Since then, this mystery candidate has taken the country of Greece by storm and has risen as a rock star in politics with a charismatic personality that has adoring subjects looking upon him with tears in their eyes, in near worship of a man they call, "their savior".  So who is this man Alexis Tsipras and what does he stand for? What he is, is a man of charm and a orator of seductive words. He was described by Geri Ungerean on "Now The End Begins" thusly:
 
 "His name is Alexis Tsipras, and it seems that he meets much of the criteria of the prophesied Antichrist. He was just elected as the Prime Minister of Greece. He is an atheist and a far left winger. His party in Greece is called SYRIZA. He has appeared out of nowhere in the last couple of years, almost magically. He has landed himself in a most precarious situation. Greece is broken. Is he the one to fix it, and also the EU which is struggling and groping at almost anything to revive Europe? All eyes are on this man.
 
 On Sept 17, 2014 Mr. Tsipras met with Pope Francis at the Vatican. He was the first leader of a left-wing party that met the head of the Roman-Catholic church-ever!  This is not surprising with this Pope, because he is rabidly ecumenical, and very "Green", and always talking about global warming and people harming the earth. It has been said that Tsipras and the Pope get along famously, and are in one accord. No problem that one claims to be the head of the "faithful" on this earth, and the other, a staunch atheist. Could it be that there are unseen circumstances, not being divulged to the public? I would say, assuredly so."
 
 All of Europe, especially Germany, along with some in Greece itself, are afraid of what the new Prime Minister might do with the national debt and austerity measures that have crippled many into abject poverty. He has vowed to battle the "troika" or the IMF, the EC, and the ECB. (International Monetary Fund, European Commission, and the European Central Bank).
 
 The discontented have flocked to SYRIZA, partially encouraged by Tsipras' repeated promises to repeal the memoranda and abandon all deals with the troika if and when he is elected Prime Minister. This kind of talk is partially what many have been afraid of, both within Greece and abroad.
 
 And the most disturbing to any prophecy student is that the new PM is a Pro-Palestinian supporter and an enemy of Israel:
 
 "During last summer's Gaza war, Alexis Tsipras, the new prime minister of Greece, said Israel's "brutality cannot be tolerated." Senior members of his party - which in this week's elections nearly got an absolute majority - participated in the 2010 flotilla, which sought to break Israel's naval blockade of Gaza and resulted in a deadly clash between Turkish activists and Israeli troops. One of the party's delegates to the European Parliament is said to be openly sympathetic to Hamas." Israel is said to be concerned and nervous over this development in Greek politics.
 
 I was reading a post by Prophecy teacher, Terry James on Rapture Ready and his  comments were very strong to keep a close watch on this man. Here are two excerpts from that article:
 
 Antichrist Archetype Emerges
 
 "...There has surfaced, in my view at least, an archetype of the leader to come who will be the first beast of Revelation 13.  This generation is not yet in the Tribulation, but is experiencing precursors to that last seven years that makes us know that a time of unprecedented troubles is just ahead. Likewise, a leader has arisen from the area of the reviving Roman Empire, one whose emergence makes the observant Bible prophecy student suspect ever more assuredly that Antichrist is waiting in the shadows of the immediate future.
 
 Any such leader rising suddenly and dramatically out of the very nucleus of what was ancient Rome justifiably raises the eyebrows of Bible prophecy students.  The visible, physical reactions of those who have put him on his pedestal are quite interesting...glassy eyes filled with tears of joy, as they looked worshipfully at the man on whom they are hanging their hopes.  As a matter of fact, the slogan for his campaign was "Hope is coming!" - Terry James, RaptureReady.com.
 
 I would remind the reader, that besides this man we are discussing today, another politician who has some of the same credentials as Tsipras, and that is found in the current "usurper in Chief" that resides in the office of the POTUS. He also promised "hope and change", but there is little hope, and only change in our pockets. Mr. Obama and Mr. Tsipras are mirror images to some degree on either side of the "big pond".  Who will lead the "One World Government". I  remember reading that Henry Kissinger expressed hope that it would be Obama. Now, maybe he will change his mind? But back to Tsipras, the new PM of Greece.
 
 GREECE  ELECTS THEIR OWN VERSION OF OBAMA
 
 We know very little about this man.  He has a quality of being believed without a long established history of significant accomplishments or well accepted political plans or skills. Which reminds me of another politician that rose from obscurity as junior senator from Illinois and promised hope and change and is now the president of the most powerful nation on earth. So do they each sound familiar? I've long thought that Obama had the qualities of the Anti-Christ, but only as a pre-cursor to the actual man who would be the lawless one. Oh, Obama is lawless enough because of the way he conducts himself above the clear constraints of the U.S. Constitution or the rule of law, but he just doesn't quite fit the mold of a man that the world would flock to as their god in the Tribulation.
 
 But concerning this rising star in the EU, Mr. Tsipras has been forging an alliance with a sworn enemy of the aforementioned EU and of NATO and that would be Russia, and Vladmir Putin, its president. Earlier this week, Greece's defense minister and outspoken "Eurosceptic" Panos Kammenos announced that he was invited to Moscow to meet his Russian counterpart, Sergei Shoygu, in the near future.
 
 Greece is one of the 28 members of NATO, while Russia perceives NATO as its biggest threat. So if Russia and Greece do form a military alliance, then Russia will have found an ally within its biggest perceived enemy. So Greece is warming up to Russia, who is also in league with Middle Eastern enemies of Israel. That's only one part of this political intrigue that is being played out right in front of us.
 
 Another is the cozy relationship between a proclaimed atheist and the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, the pope. In a press release it was reported:
 
 "In our meeting with Pope Francis today, we had the opportunity to discuss the economic crisis, as well as the crisis in human values...we asked [Pope Francis] to take an international initiative for the termination of conflicts in the Middle East...we agreed that the dialogue between the Left and the Christian Church must go on. We may have different ideological starting points; however, we converge on common values, like solidarity, love for the fellow Human being, social justice, and our concern regarding world peace."
 
 Interesting, to say the least. Here is a proclaimed Atheist (who along with his significant other who he met while being a member of the "Students for Communism") who is meeting with the supposed leader of the "Christian" world and is asking for his intervention in the problems between the Palestinians and the nation of Israel. Now some would wonder, is this meeting with the coming believed, false prophet with a man who is unmarried and a communist /Marxist  be any cause for concern?
 
 THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL BE HOMOSEXUAL?
 
 There is a common belief that I've heard that the Anti-Christ will be a homosexual, as I believe his precursor to this role is also, Mr. Barak Hussein Obama, being a homosexual. Many use this scripture to promote this belief.
 
 Daniel 11:37  "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."
 
 Daniel says that this man will not regard the God of his fathers, (Tsipras is an atheist and a communist)...so he doesn't adhere to any god, or the God of the universe. The scripture saying that the man will not regard,  "the desire of women" doesn't necessarily mean he is a homosexual. In the times of Israel when the prophesied Messiah was believed ready to be born as prophesied, women of the nation, each "desired to be the mother" of the coming Messiah. This passage could mean that the Anti-Christ will not believe in the true Messiah of the nation of Israel and of the world, Jesus Christ. But something that made me take pause of this man that I read concerning his family history. The man, Alexia Tsiparis  is of Jewish ancestry. You heard me correctly. The man is an unbelieving Jew, an atheist who has no regard for the God of his fathers of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and who denies the Lordship of Jesus Christ, as the majority of Jewish people do. From a excerpt I read on this man's family history:
 
 ""The father of Alexis Cipra, Pavlos Cipra, died in 2012. He was a billionaire with a direct link with the Mossad, (Jewish Intelligence like our CIA) he was the father of a slave BHL entrepreneur in Africa where he was trafficking in Africans. He sent dozens of Africans in Greece in order to exploit them, giving them just enough to survive in its construction companies and public travux.
 
 The family business "SKAPANEA" was responsible for all major public works in Greece since the junta until today, construction / restoration of Orthodox churches through broadcasting. Like the Italian Mafia, the other companies have to pay a percentage to the "family" if they want to survive. "
 
 Yes, you read that correctly. I have been finding people in Greece saying that Tsipras is actually "Cipra" and is of Jewish blood.
 
 "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers (Yahweh) , nor the desire of women (Jesus Christ), nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all." Many End Times scholars have concluded that this passage of Scripture from Daniel 11:37 shows the Antichrist to be atheist, since he no longer regards the God of his fathers, but not necessarily homosexual.

 Anytime I hear the name of George Soros, the hair on the back of my neck stands up. This is the same man that financed and brought Barak Obama to the forefront of American politics to the shame of the American voter. It seems this alleged "Illumanati" individual  uses his multiple-billions to engineer the political scene of any country to further his concept of a One World Government and of course, make him money is again involved in political intrigue and mystery behind the scenes. Hey, but it's all in a day's work for this evil man.
 
 Soros is the same man, while as a teenager worked to turn in his own countrymen, the Jewish people, into the Nazis to be loaded on trains to the death camps. Yes, Soros is Jewish. Why is it, that when an unbelieving Jewish person who rejects God of his fathers, becomes a reprobate? Ever look at the Hollywood community populated by unbelieving Jews in the movie/entertainment industry? The community is rampant with homosexuality, sexual deviancy, and anything that titillates the primeval, sinful nature of mortal men. It reminds me of when Israel went into idolatry and went so far from God, that God brought swift judgment on the nation. It almost seems in direct conflict with the plan of God to bring Israel and the Jewish (Hebrew) nation into direct worship of the God of the Universe again in the future. But God is in control and men like Soros will be judged along with other evil men that are either Jew or Gentile. But the point aside from this fact is, when George Soros is involved in anything politically, then no good can come from it, and the Christian student of biblical prophecy must take notice.
 
 IS TSIPRAS THE ANTI-CHRIST?
 
 It's too early to tell, and from my Christian point of view and what I have supported in my years of ministry, is that the "true Christian", the believer in Jesus Christ and Him crucified, will not know for sure. We may have a suspicion and a good idea of who the man MIGHT be.  But until the Church is removed according to II Thessalonians 2:7-8, and the Holy Spirit being removed prior to the AC being revealed, we will only have questions and suspicions. This revealing of the AC will be accomplished when the "son of perdition" signs a 7 year peace treaty with Israel, which is a pact with the devil. So if the Holy Spirit is removed, so shall the Church be removed, or Jesus would have been lying, when He said:
 
 Matthew 28:20  "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."
 
 John 14:18  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
 
 14:19  Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
 
 14:20  At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
 
 Since we know that our Lord does not lie, Paul told us through Holy Spirit revelation, the church will be leaving sometime prior to the revealing of the Anti-Christ.
 
 Now I am not definitively saying that this new Greek Prime Minister, Tsipras is the prophesied Anti-Christ, but let us summarize what we have learned or has been reported concerning this man:
 
 1.     Tsipras came to the political scene from out of no-where. He was a brought to the scene of Greek politics by intrigue and money.
 
 2.     The man is a Marxist/Communist, an Atheist, and belongs to a hard left political party called Syriza. (will he be called a "Syrian"?)
 
 3.     The man is Jewish by ancestry. An unbelieving Jew of Grecian birth.
 
 4.     He has made alliances with both ends of the spectrum. Vladimir Putin and Pope Francis, the possible Gog of the Gog-Magog alliance, and the possible False Prophet, in that order. Pretty cozy, I'd say.
 
 5.     He comes out of the least of the NATO alliance countries, and smack dab in the middle of the revised Roman Empire.
 
 6.     He has rock star qualities and speaks with a charismatic speaking style that is not unlike Barak Obama, and the people are in near worship of him...again, like many do Obama here in the USA.
 
 7.     He is backed by a shadowy Illumanati type individual, George Soros.
 
 8.     He is a  rabid supporter of the Palestinian cause and supports a Two State solution to dividing Israel. Even being a Jew himself, he is against the nation of Israel.
 
 Much can be speculated about both this man, the new PM of Greece, and for that matter, our own POTUS. Both have Anti-Christ credentials and personality traits that would give any biblical student reason to keep an eye on either man and to see what develops. What it does tell me, is the hour is very late, and the AC is just out of sight, waiting to be revealed. Both these men are on the world stage with a mask over their true intentions. The time of the Church's departure grows ever closer and the date approaches of which no one knows for sure, except the signs which we have discussed in numerous messages found on my website and re-printed by Christian partners in prophecy forums. The picture become more and more clear, much as a slow forming film strip developing in a photographer's dark room. So we have another person and event to keep a watch on. What will develop? Only God and time will tell. Don't be misled by anyone who promises you the moon, especially in politics and religion. Keep your eye on Jesus Christ which is found in God's Word. He will never let you down, unlike men of this world.
