I watched your incredibly englightening intervention on Alex's show and was surprised to learn that there were differing views on the subject of the rapture in protestant Christianity. As mainstream muslim I would like to make a comment on your assertions that muslim were waiting the "mahdi" who would be the antichrist.
To make the story short, mainstream (90%) muslim's belief are (simplified) :
- Jesus ("Issa" in arabic) was a prophet and not God, his diety being introduced later on in Christianity based on Paul accounts whom we believe was a Jew falsely convert to Christianity in order destroy it from inside (as have made many later centuries jews on both Islam and Christianity : research Sabbatai Zevi, David Franck, etc ...) - The Bible contains elements of truth but was modified over time both by Rabbis and the Church (see Council of Nicea and others) so that eventually so much distortion deviated the true religion that God sent Prophet Muhammad to restore true monotheism (believing in God alone and stop deifying prophets (Jesus) or saints (St Mary) ). - In the end times, the Anti Christ ("Dajjal" in arabic) will be the messiah of the Jews and will rule the world for a certain period (the tribulations) - After tribulations, Imam Mahdi (a sort of future prophet) will come back to lead the fight against the Antichrist - At a certain point, imam Mahdi will be surrounded by the AntiChrist forces in Damascus (Syria's capital), Jesus Christ will come down from heavens and vanquish the AntiChrist

I recently watched "After the Tribulation". Firstly, I would like to say well done! That was a very well done informational video, and even someone such as myself that is already a post-tribulation prewrath believer learned something from it, as did my companion. I also would like to say that it is a very good thing to see those standing up for truth and can break that truth down into a readily understandable package. I do have some questions however.
The first and main question being, when discussing end time events why is Daniel left out. Specifically, the last few chapters of Daniel can be put side by side events in Revelation. An example being Daniel 12:1
"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."
Compare to Revelation 12:7-10
"7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."
Revelation 13:7-8
"7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
I mention this because it appears that Daniel is largely ignored on this subject and it is something that is directly mirrors Revelation and those are just a few examples. Of course, the prophecies within the Bible on end times all correlate as I am sure you know, but Daniel in my opinion is a primer to them.
My other question is one of curiosity since I am not a protestant( I don't really know what to call myself at this point other than to say I believe and have faith) but understand the difficulty in addressing this topics to many protestants. The question is how do you get someone to investigate these issues themselves. In many discussions, it just appears that the ears just shut off and even with those knowledgeable of that which is the Bible refuse to hear? Do you have much success in people finally seeing the light and preparing for that which is to come?
Anyhow, God bless you in your ministry and thanks!
I am saddened to see you communicating with Alex Jones. He is a disinformationist and works with Satan. He is an "insider" that plays defense for the Vatican and follows a few other agendas.
Hello Pastor Anderson,
ReplyDeleteI watched your incredibly englightening intervention on Alex's show and was surprised to learn that there were differing views on the subject of the rapture in protestant Christianity.

- The Bible contains elements of truth but was modified over time both by Rabbis and the Church (see Council of Nicea and others) so that eventually so much distortion deviated the true religion that God sent Prophet Muhammad to restore true monotheism (believing in God alone and stop deifying prophets (Jesus) or saints (St Mary) ).
- In the end times, the Anti Christ ("Dajjal" in arabic) will be the messiah of the Jews and will rule the world for a certain period (the tribulations)
- After tribulations, Imam Mahdi (a sort of future prophet) will come back to lead the fight against the Antichrist
- At a certain point, imam Mahdi will be surrounded by the AntiChrist forces in Damascus (Syria's capital), Jesus Christ will come down from heavens and vanquish the AntiChrist
