70 THE UNHOLY TRINITY HIS BLASPHEMY: Once he gathers unto himself all the nations and heaps unto himself all peoples, and he is worshipped by all those whose names are not written in the Book of Life, he will be puffed up in his heart and will start to show his true colours. He will start blaspheming God. “And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.” (Rev 13:6) The same is predicted to us in the Book of Daniel, “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” (Dan 7:25) “And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods.” (Dan 11:36) It is then that his followers will realize that they have been fooled by the imposter. The Jews will realize that he is not their awaited Messiah, for, even that he will be born in the Jewish faith, he will blaspheme Yahweh, the God of the fathers, and, instead he will claim divine honours to himself, “ Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, .... nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.” (Dan 11:37) “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.” (II Thes 2:4) Christians who were deceived into thinking that he is Christ in his supposed Millennial rule, will also discover the bitter truth, that they were deceived by the imposter, and that in acknowledging him as Christ, they have forfeited their share in eternity, and have been damned to the end, for the Fathers tell us that those who accept him and receive his mark (see later) have no chance to repent. And he will put his mark on their right hand and on their forehead, that no one may put the sign of the honourable cross upon his forehead with his right hand; but his hand is bound. And from that time he shall not have power to seal any one of his members, but he shall be attached to the deceiver, and shall serve him; and in him there is no repentance. But
THE UNHOLY TRINITY 71 such an one is lost at once to God and to men. 1 THE FLIGHT OF THE CHURCH: But not all will be deceived by him, for those whose names are written in te Book of Life, God’s own elect, for whose sake the days of the Great Tribulation will be shortened, will see through his deceiving exterior, and will refuse to submit to him. Having received the seal of the Living God on their forehead (Rev 7:2-3), they will refuse to be polluted by the mark of the Beast. They will heed the command of the Lord, “When ye therefore shall see the Abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.” (Matt 24:15-18) A thorough understanding of this commandment is vital for our salvation should we be around during those perilous times. “When you see the Abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet” interpretation: when you see Antichrist, a.k.a. man of sin, little horn, the beast ... etc, “stand in the holy place” interpretation: sitting in the temple of God, showing himself to be God (II Thes 2:4) i.e, being worshipped in the churches as God, “then let them ... let him ...” We have here two sets of directives. The first one, “let them which be in Judea flee to the mountain” is directed to the Church of the elect, to flee. The flight of the Church into the wilderness has been dealt with in our previous issue. The Book of Revelation assigns a whole chapter for this emigration of the faithful away from the Middle East (Rev 12) When the Lord says let them that be in Judea ..., there are two reasons for this. The first is that like many of the prophecies, this one pertains both to the destruction of Jerusalem around A.D. 70, as well as to the desolation of the world that will happen in the days of the Abomination of Desolation. In interpreting this command concerning the end of times, Judea will mean the Middle East, the birthplace of the Church. The second, is that Judea will actually be 1 Hippolytus: Discourse on the end of the world and on Antichrist
