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
