"…. Each year we’ve come together to celebrate a story that has endured for two millennia. It’s a story that’s dear to Michelle and me as Christians, but it’s a message that's universal… "

"Oddly enough, the bible is just as backwards and oppressive as the Koran."? Really? A statement with no substance. Let's have some back-up, Jack!

Harrison Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:28:00 +0000 http://zionica.com/?p=20745#comment-171439 Did you ever notice the reference to "these last days" in the Book of Hebrews? "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto fathers by the prophets, hath in THESE LAST DAYS spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:1-2).

Evidently, the author of Hebrews was alive on earth "in these last days" Isn't it clear, then, that the "last days" began with Christ's sojourn on earth, His death, His burial, His resurrection, and his ascension to "the right hand of the Majesty on high" (v3)

we must conclude that the last days stretch from the Advent to the end of the age, and so far it's been about 2000 years. And within that time-frame, there have been more "antichrist" figures than we can count (Napoleon, Hitler, Kissinger, etc.).

I would admonish you to quit looking for this ever illusive "antichrist," and look to Jesus Christ, "the prince of the kings of the earth" (Revelation (1:5). Help to advance His kingdom, and anticipate the generation in which "the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea" (Habakkuk 2:14).

So becareful not to get too self righteous, you might resemble those you dispise.
