THE UNHOLY TRINITY<br />
HIS BLASPHEMY:<br />
Once he gathers unto himself all the nations and heaps unto himself<br />
all peoples, and he is worshipped by all those whose names are not<br />
written in the Book <strong>of</strong> Life, he will be puffed up in his heart and will<br />
start to show his true colours. He will start blaspheming God. “And he<br />
opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name,<br />
and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.” (Rev 13:6) <strong>The</strong> same<br />
is predicted to us in the Book <strong>of</strong> Daniel, “And he shall speak great words<br />
against the most High, and shall wear out the saints <strong>of</strong> the most High,<br />
and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand<br />
until a time and times and the dividing <strong>of</strong> time.” (Dan 7:25) “And the<br />
king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and<br />
magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things<br />
against the God <strong>of</strong> gods.” (Dan 11:36)<br />
It is then that his followers will realize that they have been fooled by<br />
the imposter. <strong>The</strong> Jews will realize that he is not their awaited Messiah,<br />
for, even that he will be born in the Jewish faith, he will blaspheme<br />
Yahweh, the God <strong>of</strong> the fathers, and, instead he will claim divine<br />
honours to himself, “ Neither shall he regard the God <strong>of</strong> his fathers, ....<br />
nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.” (Dan 11:37)<br />
“Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that<br />
is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple <strong>of</strong> God, shewing<br />
himself that he is God.” (II <strong>The</strong>s 2:4)<br />
Christians who were deceived into thinking that he is Christ in his<br />
supposed Millennial rule, will also discover the bitter truth, that they<br />
were deceived by the imposter, and that in acknowledging him as Christ,<br />
they have forfeited their share in eternity, and have been damned to the<br />
end, for the Fathers tell us that those who accept him and receive his<br />
mark (see later) have no chance to repent.<br />
And he will put his mark on their right hand and on their forehead, that<br />
no one may put the sign <strong>of</strong> the honourable cross upon his forehead with<br />
his right hand; but his hand is bound. And from that time he shall not<br />
have power to seal any one <strong>of</strong> his members, but he shall be attached to<br />
the deceiver, and shall serve him; and in him there is no repentance. But
