The Last Major "Sign"
Has Been Given!
By Pastor F. M. Riley
August 28, 2017
"Let no man deceive you by any means:
for that day shall not come,
except [1] there come a falling away first, and [2] that man of
sin be revealed, the son of perdition;" 2 Thessalonians
2:3.
"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.
Introduction
These Scriptures used as a text for
this Bible Study, were given to the Apostle Paul by Divine
Inspiration, and to John the Revelator, in the vision given to
him some 2,000 years ago while he was exiled to the island of
Patmos by the Roman Emperor, in order to prevent him from
preaching the gospel of Christ. Whee! Doesn't our
Lord have a great sense of humor? The Lord God is always
making the unbelieving world look foolish. John's greatest
ministry was given him during his exile.
Don't fail to notice that the passage in
Revelation 13:18 is written in the present tense. In other
words, because this Scripture is written in the present tense,
it is possible for the true believer who has been given
spiritual "understanding" to identify the prophesied anti-christ
[beast] at whatever time he comes on the world scene.
How? By simply counting his number, exactly as stated in
this inspired Scripture, "for it is the number of a man."
Every Human Being Has a Number
Every natural descendant of Adam born
into this world, has a number whether they realize it or
not. The minute a new born baby is given a name, they also
receive a number. Oh yes they do! Every letter in
one's name has a numerical value derived from the order in which
each letter appears in the alphabet. Now write down the
numerical value of each letter in your entire name, as the
letters occur in the alphabet, then add them all up, and the
total will give you the numerical value of your
name. You do have a number, as well as a name!
This is not simply playing with
numbers. This is an established numerical truth, just as
accurate as the name your parents gave to you when you were
born. The total value of each of the letters in your name,
added up, is your own "life number," whether some readers choose
to believe it or not.
The Number of the anti-christ
The inspired Word explicitly states
that "the number of the beast" [anti-christ] is "Six hundred
threescore and six [666], and emphasizes that it is "the number
of a man," and can be counted by those to whom spiritual
"understanding" has been given. In other words, the
prophesied anti-christ is a true human, just like all the rest
of us humans.
If any reader is looking for some
fallen angel to miraculously come down to earth, and transform
himself into the anti-christ, they are looking in error and in
vain. As the anti-christ comes on the world scene, he will
be just "a man," like other men. But the question I am
concerned with in this Bible Study, is.......
WHEN is the anti-christ to be Revealed?
It is commonly believed and taught,that
the anti-christ will come during the Tribulation period.
Gee! It takes real spiritual growth for someone to figure
that out, since we find the anti-christ repeatedly mentioned in
the Tribulation period Scriptures in Revelation. 2 Timothy
2:15 is still in the Bible!
However, in this study I have no
intention of just skimming over the surface on the
subject. The inspired Word is very explicit about the
timing of the revealing of the anti-christ, even if some of
God's people have overlooked or ignored it. According to
the inspired Apostle Paul, the revealing of the anti-christ
first has to do with his revelation to the Lord's Church and New
Covenant believers, before he is revealed to the unbelieving
lost world. No one has ever previously pointed out this
truth to you? Well let's just study this truth in the Word
for ourselves.....
The Lord's Church is not in Darkness
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
The Apostle Paul, writing by Divine
Inspiration, to the Lord's Church at Thessalonica, explicitly
told that church, "But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that
that day [the day of the Lord; Tribulation period] should
overtake you as a thief," 1 Thess. 5:4. I highly suspect
that Paul was moved by the Holy Spirit to make this statement,
due to the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ Himself had
previously told His disciples, "Because it is given unto you to
know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them
[unbelieving Christ rejectors] it is not given," Matthew
13:11.
Dear readers, whether some want to
believe the Word or not, we who are true believers have been
given spiritual discernment, enabling us to know and understand
spiritual truths, which the unbelieving lost world do not know
and are spitually incapable of discerning, 1 Corinthians
2:12-16. Isn't it about time some true believers start
understanding and believing this truth? Well...??
The Prophetic Order of End-Time Events
Surely every serious student of Bible
prophecy knows that there is an order set forth in the
Scriptures for the fulfillment of the prophesied end-time
events? The general prophetic order is:
[1] The appearing of the Lord in the
heavens above the earth, Colossians 3:4; 1 Thessalonians
4:13-18.
[2] The resurrection and
rapture of the "dead in Christ" and all New Covenant believers
which "are alive and remain," 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18.
[3] The beginning of "the
day of the Lord" [Tribulation period] following the rapture,
Revelation 4:1-2; 5:1; 5:6-7; 6:1.
Now I inserted this general order to
emphasize that the Lord God never, never, never violates His own
inspired Word. Therefore, the events prophesied will occur
in the exact order set forth in the Word.
Again, When will the anti-christ be Revealed?
2 Thessalonians 2:1-8
Now going back to the timing of the
revealing of the anti-christ. Paul explicitly stated in
writing to the Lord's Church at Thessalonica, "Let no man
deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come except [1]
there come a falling away first, and [2] that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition," 2 Thessalonians 2:3. I
urge our readers to read the entire passage right on through
verse 8.
Dear readers, this is one of the most
important portions of prophetic Scripture to be found in God's
Word, dealing with the timing of the coming of Christ, and also
the revealing of the anti-christ. If the reader wants to
know the truth on this subject, then STUDY these Scriptures
carefully and pay attention to what is said.
Notice carefully in this inspired
Scripture that TWO events are prophesied to occur BEFORE "the
day of the Lord." The "day of the Lord" refers to the
seven year Tribulation period. Paul, speaking by
inspiration, clearly states that it will not begin until these
two events have been fulfilled or come to pass.
The first of these two events is "a
falling away." The Greek text is quite clear that this is
referring to an apostasy on the part of many today who call
themselves "Christians." Folks, it is here! It is
happening right before our eyes and while I write. The
"falling away" began in the 1970's and it is still going on
today. But it is only the first of two events prophesied
by Paul to occur prior to "the day of the Lord" beginning.
The second event prophesied to occur
before the Tribulation begins is "the man of sin" being
revealed. I am well aware that some believers commonly
teach that the anti-christ will not be revealed until the
Tribulation begins. Be careful what you say and
teach! This is not what the inspired Apostle said in 2
Thessalonians 2:3. Go back and carefully read this passage
again, and believe what it says, Romans 3:4.
What this Scripture does say is that
the anti-christ will be "revealed." But to
whom? It is glaringly obvious that in the context in
which this passage occurs, Paul is speaking to the Lord's
Church, informing the church about the "revealing" of the
anti-christ. It is just as obvious to the serious student
of Bible prophecy that the anti-christ will not be revealed to
the lost, unbelieving, world until some point during the
Tribulation period. But this does not mean that he
couldn't be revealed to the Lord's Church and true believers
before the Tribulation. After all, it is true believers
who have been given spiritual discernment, 1 Corinthians
2:12-14.
The only thing stated in this passage
that might give some the idea that the anti-christ will not be
revealed until during the Tribulation is 2:6, "revealed in his
time." But if our readers will look up this expression in
the Greek Bible, or a Greek Lexicon, they will find that this
literally means, "appointed time." See Thayer's Greek
Lexicon, pages 318-319, Strong's No. 2540. In other words,
this expression does not mean that the revealing of the
anti-christ is restricted only to the Tribulation period, but
rather to whatever time has been "appointed" for him to be
revealed. Paul tells us that this "appointed time" for the
anti-christ to be revealed is before "the day of the
Lord." Therefore it will be during this present "church
age." This settles the matter!
The Glaring Simple Truth
I am one who believes that the
anti-christ, being born a human child, is alive today, and has
been growing up and living for many years. It should then
be no problem for the Lord God of Heaven to reveal the identity
of the anti-christ to true believers before the Tribulation
begins, just as the inspired Apostle clearly stated.
Now, due to information received by me,
I believe the Lord God has done exactly that.......
The "Sign" Above all "Signs"
God's people who seriously study Bible
prophecy have been talking about the many "signs" of the
end-time, which have occurred over the past few years, and which
are still occurring. These "signs" clearly indicate that
we are now living in the end-time, and swiftly approaching the
time of the Lord's appearing to resurrect and rapture His people
to glory.
Just this past week the American people
watched the great Solar Eclipse cross our nation. I know
that many of God's people believe that the Solar Eclipse was a
"sign" from the Lord God that this present dispensation is
almost ready to end with the resurrection and rapture of all
true believers to glory, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
Now, right along with all of the other
"signs" which have occurred, wouldn't the revealing of the
anti-christ be "the sign" that tops them all off, and makes the
true believer to know that in a few more days, or a few more
minutes, our Lord will come for us, and we will be with the Lord
for ever? Glory to God! Praise the Lord!
Hallelujah!
Don't hem or haw around as you think
about this! Wouldn't the revealing of the anti-christ
right now, be the most astounding "sign" of all the "signs"
which have this far occurred? Yes or No?
Every honest reader knows that
the revealing of the anti-christ would be the climatic "sign" of
all the "signs" the Lord has given to us. Well, I have
some great news for those who are willing to humble themselves
and truly believe what the Word actually and literally
says.
The anti-christ Has Now Been Revealed!
Yes, right at the "appointed time,"
before "the day of the Lord," the anti-christ has been revealed,
exactly as Paul said that he would be.
Even as I write, I have laying on my
desk a photo of the "man" who is to become the prophesied
anti-christ. Before even reading the article which
accompanied this man's photo, as I looked at his photo, I
received a deep impression that this man will have a great role
to play in fulfilling the end-time prophecies of God's
Word. Then as I read the article accompanying the photo, I
was made to tremble with excitement, and praise the Lord, as my
first impression was confirmed.
This man's name is ABDUL
EL-SAYED. Put his name in the "search machine" on your own
computer, and you can find loads of information about him.
Mr. Sayed is a highly educated
Muslim medical doctor from Detroit, Michigan. He is an
American citizen, having been born in this country 32 years ago
on October 31, 1984. He is a physician, a public health
advocate, and in Michigan is a well known politician. He
is currently seeking to be elected as the Governor of
Michigan. He is a Democrat and is running on the
Democratic ticket. However, his ambitions are to serve as
the President of the United States of America. He will be
eligible to run for the office of President in 2020.
He is now 32 years of age.
Think about this! At the middle of the coming Tribulation
period, three and a half years from now, the time when the
anti-christ is revealed to the whole world, according to
Revelation 13, this man will be exactly 36 years of age.
Now add up all of the numbers from 1 through 36, and the total
will be 666, "the number of the beast," Revelation 13:18.
Is this just "coincidence?" If a reader thinks so, please
contact me at once for a "real deal" on some seacoast property
in Kansas. Sic!
Mr. Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar.
His education and "grooming" was financed by George Soros, an
extremely rich and wicked Jew, who strongly
advocates a one world government for all of
mankind. Mr. Sayed is George Soros protege, whom Mr.
Soros has been "grooming" for the position of becoming a world
ruler. Mr. Sayed is a charismatic speaker, quite friendly,
has a great personality, is well liked, and already has people
in Washington campaigning for him in his future run for the
President of America.
All of this background information is
interesting, but what makes me so sure he will be the future
anti-christ? HIS NAME!
Dear readers, does Revelation 13:18 say
that the anti-christ [beast] can be identified by counting his
number, or does it not? Every honest reader knows that it
does! So let's just "count the number of the beast," as
13:18 says to do.......
Again, the man's name is Abdul
El-Sayed. Using the English alphabet, the count of
his name is as follows:
A
=
1
E =
5
S
= 19
B
=
2
L =
12
A
= 1
D
=
4
Y
= 25
U =
21
E
= 5
L =
12
D
= 4
_____
_____
_____
40
17
54
= 111
For those readers who have never
seriously studied Bible Numerics, "40" is the number in the
Bible which signifies "testing or trial." The inspired
Word is filled with forty year periods of testing that well
illustrate the meaning of this Bible number.
"17" is the number in the Bible which
signifies "Victory." Mr. Sayed is the man who, following
in the footsteps of ancient Nimrod [Genesis 10:8-10], is going
to achieve victory as he becomes ruler over the whole
world.
"54" is the number in the Bible which
signifies "spirit; a spirit; the security of the believer sealed
by the Holy Spirit." Obviously it will not be the
Spirit of God dwelling in this man, but rather "another spirit,"
2 Corinthians 11:3-4.
But all three of these numbers in the
name of Mr. Sayed add up to a total of "111." From my own
studies in Biblical Numerics, I am convinced that this is the
number in the Bible signifying "the Satanic Trinity." This
Satanic Trinity, in operation during the coming Tribulation
period, is composed of Satan, the anti-christ, and the false
prophet. See Revelation 12:3-4, 12:9, 13:1-2, and
13:11-12.
The Devil's Alphabet
The calculation of Mr. Sayed's name is
fascinating enough using the English alphabet. But how
much more so, if we use Satan's own alphabet to expose the truth
about this man.
This is not something I have dreamed
up. This alphabet has been in common use for centuries by
unbelieving wicked people, who are involved in demon worship,
witchcraft, black magic, fortune telling, and other of the
so-called "black arts." These people use this alphabet
when writing, in order to hide their plans and evil from the
authorities and general public. What the Devil's Alphabet
consist of is assigning the number "6" to each letter of the
alphabet in ascending order. In other words, they make A =
6, B = 12, C = 18, etc.
Using the Devil's Alphabet to count the
numerical value of Mr. Sayed's name is highly
revealing. Read on.......
A
=
6
E =
30
S =
114
B
=
12
L
=
72
A
=
6
D
=
24
Y =
150
U =
126
E
= 30
L
=
72
D
= 24
_______
_______
_______
240
102
324 = 666
When I used this Devil's Alphabet to
count the numerical value of the name, Abdul El-Sayed, I didn't
have to do it a second time. The very first count added up
to 666. Plain enough! Check it out for
yourself.
The "sign" of the anti-christ being
revealed is now here, right along with all of the other "signs"
we have been shown over the past few years.
What This Then Means
The "revealing" of the anti-christ at
this time, then means that there is no Scriptural reason left,
to my knowledge, to prevent the Lord Jesus from coming to
resurrect and rapture His people to glory at any minute of any
day now. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 has been fulfilled, right to
the letter, exactly as stated. Therefore, it is time for
the Lord Jesus to come for His people, and for the terrible
Tribulation to begin on the earth. The Tribulation
judgments will begin to be poured out upon those left behind on
the earth, following the resurrection and rapture of the Lord's
Church and all true believers. The time has arrived!
If any reader is not ready when the
"trumpet" sounds, you will have waited too long to get
ready. You will be left behind to face the seven years of
the terrible Tribulation period. Now, I mean right now,
read again 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, and if you do not have the
assurance of forgiven sin and salvation in Christ Jesus, RUN to
seek the Lord as your own personal Savior while there is still
time. For those reading this study, it is a now or never
situation. Hurry! Rush! I want to meet
you in Heaven. May God grant His GRACE to every reader is
my prayer.
