Featured Debit/Credit Card 3 digit security codes AND the anti-christ

Wouldn't be much of a security system if everyone had the same number now would it?

 

Thanks for the laugh today.

 

Why look for the anti- when you can look for the real One? I don't waste time postulating about this stuff. I've actually spent less time arguing about eschatology the past few years because it's going to happen one way or another and the most important thing is to be READY and WATCH (i.e. work).

Let's focus upon getting folks ready and not waste time on this foolishness.

 

I agree. I would be very surprised as well.

 

Do you remember which podcast? I would like to hear his reasoning.

I don't agree with everything Dr McArthur says, but I use his study note and would not have thought he would make such a claim.

 

yeah that the thing that's always made me laugh about dispensational eschatology. Even though they aren't (according to their system) gonna be around when when this all happens they desperately want to know every last little detail.

Irony

Oh, and there is no singular Anti-Christ.

 

ah man, I'm in trouble. I have a bank account and the last 3 digits of the account number is 666.

Yeah. Okay. Alrighty then.

It wasn't anything sinster. The bank was bought out by another a few years ago. In the process they added four numbers to the front of the original account number and one to the end. The first 4 were not random. The last one was. I had two accounts and two different numbers added to each. And that is that. Could I have it changed? Yep. Would it be a pain in my backside over something that means nothing. Yep. Guess what isn't going to be changed. (plus, I get to blame those numbers when that account has nothing in it! )

 

Not really! They start with an incorrect premise, Dispensational Eschatology.

 

Here is a free book that answers the question:

My favorite is the 666 on our one dollar bill. Look below the pyramid and you will see the Roman numeral MDCCLXXVI, which is 1776 the year our country was founded.

But if you separate this into three groups of three Roman numerals you get;

M= parts of a thousand. Under this we have DC which is 500 + 100= 600

C= parts of a hundred. Under this we have LX which is 50 + 10= 60

X= parts of a ten. Under this we have VI which is 5 + 1= 6

So, we have six hundred, threescore and six, just as Revelation says.



Pretty amazing coincidence. :tongue3:

 

Hi preachinjesus

The word "antichrist" appears 5 times in the Bible.

Four in the singular, once as plural.

In every occurence of the singular the definite article is used in reference to "antichrist" in the koine Greek.

For example:
NKJV:

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.​

Though use of the definite article as a generic reference is possible, a singular identifiable entity is the most probable meaning IMO.​

"many antichrists" presumably then would be used in the sense of his/its forerunners.​
