and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting
covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Behold, I have given him for
a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people." (Isaiah 55:3,4)
"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with
the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah." (Jeremiah 31:31) "For the
children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and
without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without
teraphim: Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their
God, and David their king ..." (Hosea 3:4,5)
The Bible clearly teaches that God, and not a human agency will destroy Russia

The reader may well reflect at this juncture, "I see clearly the possibility that due
to the remarkable similarity between what Jesus will do at his Second Coming
and what this supposed Antichrist, according to many writers, would do, that a
case of mistaken identity could certainly result: Jesus could very definitely be
opposed for the reason that many think him to be this very Antichrist that they
had been told about. Two questions do arise, however: (1) By what authority is it
stated that these expositions of a Coming Antichrist are not sound? (2) Surely it is
not being implied that good christian people, many of them currently holding this

The response to these eminently reasonable queries is as follows: (1) The entire
basis for this Antichrist view is founded upon an interpretation of a portion of
Daniel 9 -- the prophecy of the Seventy Weeks. This particular view was
