Identifying the Anti-Christ and the Timing of the Rapture

 

We must maintain our situational awareness of all that is happening in the world if we are to identify the day (and even the hour) of our Lord’s return. The hour is late and the apocalyptic shadows are growing longer and darker as Satan’s kingdom collides with God’s rule.  A perceptible dark and evil veil is creeping over the land.  Even as we speak, the major players in End Time Events are assuming their positions. 

The chief leader of the world’s false prophets is feverishly working both behind the scenes and in public to create the prophesied one-world religion.  Gog, the leader of the Land of Gog and Magog, is currently weaving alliances with other world leaders to invade and destroy Israel.  A small cabal of very rich; very, very powerful; and very, very, very evil men and women are maneuvering all of the world’s economies to create the prophesied one-world economic system while at the same time reducing the world’s population with a poisonous vaccine and by domineering the control of the world’s food supply.  And last but certainly not least, the anti-Christ, who has been planning all of this for many millennia, is maneuvering into place as prophesied to challenge God, Himself.

Many are quick to tell us that the timing of our Lord’s arrival is a secret and that we cannot know when it will be until it happens.  On the other hand, the Bible tells us:

Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.  Amos 3:7.  NKJV.

 

Jesus commanded us to watch for His return.  He said that if we do not watch we will not know the hour of His return.  That implies that if we do watch we can know not only the year and day but the very hour.

 If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.  Rev 3:3.  NKJV.

We have to look at all of the pieces of the puzzle that are spread out before us.  One of the pieces I am currently examining is the identity of the anti-Christ (also known as the Beast).  For several years now I have been convinced that he is Barack Obama.  My conjecture as to his identity stems from his lack of any background history.  What little of his enigmatic past that is known seems contrived.  He arrived out of nowhere and immediately rose to the pinnacle of the political food chain.  However, I must disqualify him as the prophesied Beast because he seems to lack several of the characteristics of the anti-Christ that are set forth in the Bible.

God provided us with a means to determine the identity of the anti-Christ.  We are told to calculate the number of the name of a man and that number is 666. 

 ¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.  Revelation 13:18.  KJV.

Over the years people have employed the most inane of methods to identify potential candidates for the Beast.  All of this is pure folly.  We are not free to invent the system of calculating the number of the name of the man who will be the anti-Christ.  We must use the method given by God to John in Revelation 13:18.  The only way to do this is to use the original Biblical numbering system, which is Gematria.

Eschatological author and speaker, Tim Cohen, along with messianic rabbi Monte Judah and friends from Martin Marietta wrote a computer program to count the number of the name of a man using the Gematria of various people throughout history as well as the present.  They loaded every conceivable name they could think of into the computer and printed up a list of results.  There was one name, and one name only, on this list.  The name was Prince Charles of Wales.  Amazingly, the results of this name work out to 666 both in Hebrew and in English.

What are the chances that another name will be found in the future?  According to Tim Cohen, the mathematical probability is the number 10 followed by 50 zeros.  That number is so infinitesimally small as to be non-existent.

Tim Cohen published his exceptionally well-written and exhaustive 477-page book The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea in January 1998 and a revised version is currently in production.  It will be released in April or May of 2023.

Listing all of the evidence Tim Cohen found showing that Prince Charles complies with all of the criteria of the anti-Christ set forth in the Bible is far beyond the scope of this article.  However, I would like to mention a few of the things that caught my attention before I link the identity of the anti-Christ to a potential date for the Rapture of the Church.

The Bible tells us that all of the nations of the world are going to follow the anti-Christ. Israel is going to have to believe that he is their messiah and the Muslim world is going to have to believe that he is their Mahdi.  Although not specifically stated in scripture, the anti-Christ must be able to deceive Israel into thinking that he is a descendant of King David.  He also must deceive the Muslim world into thinking that he is the successor of Muhammad.  Charles’s bloodline has been charted all the way back to both King David and Muhammad. Additionally, he has the prerequisite Roman lineage.   I know of no other person, past or present, who can make this claim.

Any candidate for the anti-Christ must follow the Biblical imagery of the Beast.   

 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.  Revelation 13-2.  NKJV. 

Prince Charles’s coat of arms and crest was designed specifically for him by the British College of Heraldry, using a system of guidelines over 500 years old.  It contains all of the Biblical symbols of the anti-Christ.  By international law, no two coats of arms can be the same.

At the bottom of my article is a picture of Prince Charles’s coat of arms.  The Beast on the left is clearly the Beast from Revelation 13-2.  It has a body like a leopard, feet like a bear, and a mouth like the mouth of a lion.  This genetic aberration never occurs in nature making this heraldic symbol on Charles’s coat of arms unique to the Biblical anti-Christ. 

Daniel 7-8 describes the anti-Christ as a beast with a little horn and the eyes of a man.  The Beast on the right side of Charles’s Coat of Arms is a white unicorn (a horse that has a little horn).  What makes this unicorn so unique is that it has the triangular-shaped eye of a man instead of the round eye of a horse.  Just like above, this genetic aberration never occurs in nature making this heraldic symbol unique to the biblical anti-Christ as well.  Additionally, the unicorn is being restrained by a chain around its neck, symbolic of the Restrainer holding back (restraining) the anti-Christ as described in 2 Thessalonians 2:6-9.

And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. ⁷ For the^]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only^]He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. ⁸ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.  2 Thessalonians 2:6-8.  NKJV.

Charles’s coat of arms has the fiery red dragon of Wales on it.  The dragon deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden and is explicitly named Satan in Revelation 12.  In 1953 the Nation of Wales adopted the red dragon as its national symbol although the symbol, itself, goes back to the ancient Romans that occupied ancient Judah.  In 1958 Queen Elizabeth declared that she had created Charles as Prince of Wales and that in the future she would present him at a formal investiture to the Welsh people as the Prince of Wales.  This is what happened when his coat of arms was unveiled on July 1, 1969, at his investiture as Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle in England.

When Queen Elizabeth placed the crown on Charles’s head at his coronation, she said something incredibly strange.  She said, “This dragon gives you your power, your throne, and your authority.”  His response to her was equally as strange.  He said, “I am now your Liege-man, and worthy of your earthly worship.”

Now, compare what Queen Elizabeth proclaimed to Charles when she placed the crown on his head to Revelation 13:2.

Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.  Revelation 13:2  NKJV.

The Queen’s words were a direct quote from the Bible regarding the anti-Christ.  The Beast.  Next, look at Charles’s response.  He told the Queen that he was now worthy of her earthly worship!!

I find this incredibly revealing.  What is it that Satan wants most?  He wants to be worshipped.  What did Satan ask Jesus to do in the desert after Jesus had been fasting for 40 days?  Satan offered Jesus all of the kingdoms of the world if Jesus would just bow down and worship him.  Of course, Jesus refused.

Directly below the red dragon of Satan on Charles’s coat of arms is the motto: “Ich Dien” which translates: “I serve”.  This is no accident nor is it a coincidence.  I believe it is a formal statement to the world that Charles serves under Satan.

There are several other references to the anti-Christ on Charles’s coat of arms, but I feel it is beyond the scope of this article to continue with this line of discussion due to a lack of time and space. My point is that he has the full combination of anti-Christ imagery on his coat of arms, including the crown that he would one day wear as King of England.  Nobody in history has ever had this imagery and nobody in history can ever have it again.  As I mentioned above, a  coat of arms (also known as a heraldic achievement) is unique to each individual under international law.

Even now, Charles is a prime contender to be the most powerful man in the world.  He has been the number one globalist on the planet since his investiture in 1969.  Most world leaders take him so seriously that they not only bow to him, they report to him through the World Economic Forum.  It was Charles, not Klaus Schwab, who first announced the Great Reset to the world at the World Economic Forum.  According to Tim Cohen, Klaus Schwab reports to Prince Charles even though Klaus Schwab is the one who started the World Economic Forum.

Perhaps (and this is pure speculation on my part) the “Great Reset” announced by Charles at the World Economic Forum is the “covenant with many” of Daniel 9:27 that will be confirmed by the anti-Christ.  We shall soon find out.

Tim Cohen also alleges that Charles is now, and has been, an active participant (and a major one at that) in the Middle East peace process for many years as he maneuvers himself into position to affirm the treaty with many for the one (prophetic) week mentioned in Daniel 9:27.

Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.  And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate even until the consummation, which is determined is poured out on the desolate.  Daniel 9-27.  NKJV

As Tim Cohen has so accurately and elegantly noted, Charles is not the “ignored wimp” that the masses have been misled to believe.  He is the number one globalist on the planet today and has been for decades. Indeed, this prince is over the entire New World Order power structure.  Satan has performed brilliantly (to give the devil his due so to speak) by selecting such a charismatic buffoon as his earthly vessel to challenge the Most High God.

I would like to note that I have a tremendous amount of respect for Tim Cohen and his research on the anti-Christ (as you have probably guessed by now).  However, Tim believes that the Rapture of the Church will occur after the tribulation.  I respectfully and vehemently disagree with him on this topic.  I am absolutely convinced that the Rapture will happen before the tribulation.

When Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8, 2022, Charles became the King of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms.  He acquired many titles as such, including Defender of the Faith (Fidei Defensor) of the Anglican Protestant Church, which was a title Pope Leo X bestowed upon Henry VIII on October 11, 1521.  The tradition of the King of the United Kingdom of being the official defender of the Protestant faith has carried forward to the present time.  So, we have the anti-Christ, who is (or will be) indwelt by Satan, himself, as the official Defender of the Anglican Protestant Faith.  In the meantime, let us not forget how Pope Paul VI said on June 19, 1972, that the smoke of Satan had already entered the (Catholic) Vatican.

We know that there will be a third Temple in Jerusalem and that it will play an exceptionally significant role in End Time events.  The government of Israel has already recreated all of the holy objects and instruments needed for the Temple’s operation and is even now rehearsing the various traditions and ceremonies which will be performed.  We also know that the anti-Christ will defile this recreated Temple with an image of himself placed on a wing of the Temple and that the false prophet will somehow appear to bring this image (statue) to life.

He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. Revelation 13:15.  NKJV.

I believe that the above image of the Beast is a bronze statue of Prince Charles and this statue has already been cast and is now sitting in a crate awaiting delivery to the new Temple at the proper time.

In March of 2002, while pursuing his enthusiastic quest to save the world from the ecological disaster of global warming and climate change in the rainforests of Brazil the state government of Tocantins in central Brazil presented Charles with a small bronze statue to honor him for his work to save the planet.  This statue portrays Charles with large open and very demonic-looking wings.  He is naked except for a tiny loin cloth and he is standing on the heads and faces of the sea of humanity that are spread out at his feet.  All of these faces are looking up in admiration at him. At the base of the statue is an inscription that proclaims “Savior of the World.”

Charles immediately accepted this newly bestowed title of “Savior of the World” and granted the Brazilian government’s request for permission to create a larger version that was to be 10 cubits high (15 feet). 

The Bible tells us that Solomon had two statues of an angel in his Temple and that they were 10 cubits tall and had a wingspan of 10 cubits.  Even more significant, I find it exceptionally blasphemous for anyone to accept the title of “Savior of the World” and I know of no other person who has ever done so.

23 Inside the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high. 24 One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub five cubits: ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other. 25 And the other cherub was ten cubits; both cherubim were of the same size and shape. 26 The height of one cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other cherub. 27 Then he set the cherubim inside the inner room; and they stretched out the wings of the cherubim so that the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall.  1 Kings 6:23-27.  NKJV.

So far in this article, I have listed some of the more significant signs that have jumped out at me personally indicating that Charles is the anti-Christ, the Beast spoken of in Daniel and Revelation.  There are so many other signs which beg to be disclosed.  However, time and space are finite.  My interest in the anti-Christ is not so much in finding his identity, but rather in using his identity to help to determine when the Rapture of the Church might take place.

The Book of Revelation tells us there are 7 seal judgments, 7 trumpet judgments, and 7 bowl judgments.  This set of 7 + 7 + 7 judgments starts with a scroll with 7 seals upon it.  The first seal speaks about the anti-Christ as being a rider on a white horse who is given a crown and then rides off conquering and to conquer:

Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the ^[a]seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” ² And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.  Revelation 6:1-2.  NKJV.

Charles’s 3-day coronation is currently scheduled to take place starting on May 6^th and ending on May 8^th (a bank holiday).  It is during this coronation that his crown will be given unto him. 

Pentecost is 21 days (7 + 7 + 7) after the middle day of Charles’s 3-day coronation ceremony.  Pentecost is significant because it is the day when God gave mankind the Holy Spirit shortly after the crucifixion, and the Holy Spirit is believed to be the Restrainer that is holding back evil and whose removal will trigger the Rapture of the Church.  The official date for Pentecost this year is Sunday, May 28, 2023.

If the Holy Spirit was given to us on Pentecost then it would seem quite logical for God to finally remove His Holy Spirit on the Pentecost of some year. Although the Bible does not specifically tell us that the removal of the Holy Spirit (Restrainer) triggers the Rapture it certainly suggests it.

⁶ And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. ⁷ For the ^[a]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only ^[b]He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. ⁸ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.  2 Thessalonians 2:6-8.  NKJV.

As watchers on the wall waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus, the Christ, we are familiar with how the Rapture of the Church is patterned after the traditions of Jewish weddings.  One of those traditions is that after being away while preparing a place for his new bride, the groom returns unannounced to retrieve her at midnight.  When it is midnight in Jerusalem on March 28 this year, I plan to be sitting on a bench in the courtyard of my apartment complex looking toward the East with the greatest of anticipation.
