Alumbrados – The Illuminated

There is not one antichrist, but TWO. One for Israel, and one for the rest of the world.

What Is An Antichrist?

An Antichrist does not just appear from nowhere.

1. An Antichrist COPIES God and then changes something very small. For example, an Antichrist Bible, copies the Bible, and then changes something small. Antichrist Church copies the true church and changes something small. An Antichrist convert copies a true convert and changes something small. Antichrist Beast copies what God looks like and then changes something small.
2. An Antichrist REPLACES God. It makes itself to be the true God, or the true bible, or the true image of God by making a beast, or the true convert.

There are many antichrists, because there are many ways God reveals himself. Each time God reveals himself, the antichrist comes to copy.

God reveals himself through his word, the Bible, therefore, there are Antichrist bibles.

God reveals himself through his church and through preachers and through converts. Therefore today, there are antichrist churches and preachers and converts. They LOOK like churches, and they SOUND like preachers, and they APPEAR to be converts, but they have changed a LITTLE BIT from the original. They are antichrist.

God first revealed himself to Israel, in the Old Testament, and then to the rest of the world, in the New Testament. So God reveals himself twice in a major way.

So, although there are many antichrists, there are TWO MAIN antichrists which copy the two revelations of God, firstly to Israel in the OLD TESTAMENT, and secondly to the world in the NEW TESTAMENT.

This is why there are TWO BEASTS in Revelation Chapter 13 of the Christian Bible. One for the witness of the Old Testament, and one for the witness of the New Testament.

The First Beast

Let us look at the ORIGINAL and then the COPY.

1. The original appearance of God is to Ezekiel the Prophet. The first thing we see

Ezekiel 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.    

Ezekiel 1:5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.    

FOUR LIVING CREATURES. Then, the Antichrist version of this appears to Daniel:

Daniel 7:2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.    

Daniel 7:3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.  

FOUR BEASTS. It’s incredible! Look at how similar Ezekiel and Daniel are. Yet one is the True God, the other is the Antichrist, who comes in as a copy.

2. The Original Appearance of Jesus in the Book of Revelation

Revelation 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.    

SEVEN HORNS AND SEVEN EYES. Then The Antichrist version of this appears to John

Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

SEVEN HEADS AND SEVEN CROWNS. Amazing! This antichrist counterfeit is obviously not good enough for heaven because it gets thrown out (Revelation 12:9).

In Revelation Chapter 13, these FOUR BEASTS OF DANIEL COMBINE:

Its first head grafted in belongs to the first beast, Babylon the lion. Its second head to the second beast, Persia the bear. The next four heads belong to the third beast Greece the leopard which has four heads, Turkey, Syria, Egypt and Greece. This makes six heads, or six powers. And its last head which was wounded to death is Rome the terrible beast.

Revelation 13:

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.    

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.    

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.    

4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?    

Now the next verse can be confusing:

Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.    

What does 42 months mean?

Daniel’s Seventy Weeks

Let us look again at the announcement the angel gives to Daniel about the 70th week:

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.    

Most people teach this is about a future Tribulation lasting 7 years. But this interpretation is wrong. To understand the 70th week read the article The Tribulation Is Not In The Future.

One week, meaning 7 years is divided in half.

Now, how many days are there in a year? If you said 365 you are wrong.

Originally the years were measured by the moon. Therefore, the months of the year were all about 30 days long, which is the time it takes the moon to go around. Then the year length is only 360 days. But, because the sun goes round 365 days a year, some years had to be longer by an extra month. So most years are 360 days long (12 months), but some years are 390 days long (13 months) (about 7 years in every 19 years).

So, when we talk of the 7 years of Daniel divided into half, normally, 3 and a half years is 42 months, agree? 

But, because some years have 13 months the first 3 and a half years is 43 months long, and the last 3 and a half years is 42 months long.

Because the hebrew calander has Thirteen 30-day months some years (Hebrew leap year), the first half of the seven years is 1290 days (43 months), and the last half is 1260 days (42 months).

So wherever we see 1260 days and 42 months it is talking about the last half of the 7 years.

Lets look at the Scripture in Daniel again:

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

The false teaching spread today is that Daniel 9:27 is talking about the Antichrist in “The Tribulation” instead of Jesus Christ. This is blasphemy. This verse clearly explains that Jesus Christ confirms the covenant with Israel for seven years. Half way through the 7 years (in the midst of the week) Jesus Christ shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease. Julius Caesar had already removed the DAILY sacrifice as we saw in Daniel chapter 8. Now halfway through the 7-year covenant after 3 ½ years of his earthly ministry from 27 AD to 31 AD, Jesus Christ is nailed up and when he dies, the curtain in the temple is torn in two. At that point, no more sacrifices and oblations are ever done again in the rebuilt temple of Jerusalem, which is why it says “he shall make it desolate”.

Daniel Chapter 12 also describes this period of Jesus Christ’s earthly ministry counting the exact days:

Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away (by Julius), and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

1290 days is the 3 ½ years of Jesus’ earthly ministry. 1335 days is up to the day of Pentecost as described in Acts Chapter 2.

1290 days and then 1260 days – Reveals the Antichrist

So to recap – the last 7 years is divided into 1290 days and 1260 days.

1290 days = Jesus’ witness to Israel, Ministry on Earth (43 months)

1260 days = The Antichrist witness to Israel, copy of Jesus (42 months)

the last half of the seven years, which is 1260 days or 42 months, is mentioned a few times. Remember when we asked what this means:

Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.    

Well, this means, the first beast is now COPYING Jesus’ time of ministry on the earth! Just like in everything else, the antichrist copies God. Doesn’t that explain how this beast has one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: (Revelation 13:3) It is trying to copy the death and resurrection of Jesus! We see this again here:

Revelation 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.    

Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Ah, here we see it clearly. First, the Child Jesus comes, and after his ministry on earth he is caught up to God and to his throne. Then the antichrist works for 1260 days! He was even trying to follow Jesus up into heaven! Can you believe it!  Amazing:

Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,    

Revelation 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.  

Now what was the ministry of Jesus? It was a ministry to Israel. Jesus did not preach to the Greeks or Gentiles on purpose, unless they came to him. He was sent to the lost sheep of Israel. Therefore, the antichrist, also goes for the lost sheep of Israel, no doubt to make them even more lost. This is why this very same beast in Revelation Chapter 12 persecutes the WOMAN who has twelve stars on her head – she represents the lost sheep of Israel.

So this 1260 days, or 42 months is the Antichrist for the Israelites, the antichrist of the Revelation to Israel in the OLD TESTAMENT.

Say it out loud – the FIRST BEAST is the Antichrist for the witness to the Israelites!

The Second Beast

Yes, you have guessed it. the SECOND BEAST is the Antichrist for the witness to the Gentiles!

It all becomes simple, simple, simple this way. Let us look at the ORIGINAL witnesses to the Gentiles:

Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.    

Revelation 11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.    

Revelation 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.   

TWO OLIVE TREES. FIRE PROCEEDS OUT OF THEIR MOUTH Now look at the antichrist copy

Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.    

Revelation 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

TWO HORNS. FIRE COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN. Truly astonishing.

Also check out this second beast has horns like a lamb?  Jesus is the Lamb of God. This is the copy. Clearly this is the antichrist for the Gentiles. Originally the Israelites had no miracles. It was only through the gospel the miracles began to happen. So, accordingly, this second beast, which is the antichrist of the Gentiles, also does miracles, just like Jesus gave his disciples power to do miracles.

So, as with everything else, there are true miracles, and then the antichrist comes in with his false miracles. BEWARE all you who follow miracles, just for the sake of the miracle.

BEWARE also the final point of the Antichrist, is to REPLACE God. So, we are in direct war with the antichrist, who is at war with us. He will fight us to the end, because HE INTENDS TO REPLACE OUR WITNESS.

Amen. But the Lord will not accept this lousy counterfeit religion. The Lord first threw him out of heaven, and will now throw him into the LAKE OF FIRE forever.

This second beast is also BABYLON in Revelation Chapter 17. Babylon is a Religious power. Babylon is the Antichrist copy of the true church. Let me repeat. It is not the United States of America. 

Babylon is the Vatican, the Roman Catholic Church, and a lot more than Just the Roman Catholic Church. That was just the Babylon of yesterday.

The Babylon of today is a church of MERCHANDISE, and it will always have the MARK OF THE BEAST. Always. The mark of the beast is not in the world. IT IS IN THE CHURCH, and there always has been one. WE believers have to overcome the mark of the beast, which appears in our churches.

I once asked, why are they selling merchandise in the Church book shop? Why are they trading? I soon got into trouble. As you read through Revelation Chapter 17, think – who else makes merchandise of the SOULS OF MEN?

Babylon is a RELIGIOUS ORGANISATION which has taken control of America and the rest of the world. Check out my research on Billy Graham, Norman Vincent Peale, and Daniel Poling for more information.
