Is He or Isn't He? - Greg Lauer

Back in September I put up a post about a very interesting interstellar comet (C/2019 Borisov) that plunged onto the astronomical scene this year. I laid out in that post a number off reasons why I felt that this comet could be a cosmic sign pointing to the soon coming arrival of the Anti-Christ. Since then my antenna has been raised watching for men who could be poised to fill this role. Why? Well if we see someone that seems to be setting themselves up to take this position it is yet another HUGE sign as to how close we are to the Rapture of the Church, our Blessed Hope.

Today I read Greg Lauer's latest, Is He or Isn't He?  In it he gives a wonderful breakdown about why he switched his position on whether or not the Anti-Christ would be Jewish.  He details out the argument as to why some have assumed he must be Jewish, and then gives a very detailed and biblical breakdown as to why he changed his mind.  Here is an excerpt:


If you were totally convinced that the Antichrist could be a Gentile, and a man came on the geopolitical scene and began doing things and posturing himself in ways that virtually screamed "Antichrist!"—and he was a Gentile, what would you do? 

That attitude changes everything. Now the situation would warrant your attention, and you would follow events surrounding this man and you would examine him more carefully to see how well he fits the profile and to what extent his actions line up with what we understand the Antichrist will do according to Scripture. 

My point is that even if you lean toward the Antichrist being a Jew, if you are at least open to the possibility that he may be a Gentile, then if a man comes onto the scene who is a prime candidate for the role, be he Jew or Gentile, you won't just blow him off because he doesn't fit your profile. Think about it...if he really is the man, and he is on the scene now doing things or planning to do things that we know the Antichrist will do, it could clue us in to one glaring fact: 

It can't be too much longer!

What Greg's article did for me was clear up a few murky thoughts that I had muddied in my head.  Why I have always heard that we can't know who the antichrist is 100% because he is revealed after we are gone, I also believe that spirit filled believer who are actively watching will have a very good idea of who it could be prior to the rapture.  And if we can see that, that gives us that much more assurance and hope that we are truly on the cusp of our blessed hope!

So back to the comet in the sky.  Prior to reading Greg's article I had heard the comet was now approaching it's closest approach to the earth later this month.  That will happen on December 30th.

"The closest approach of C/2019 V1 (Borisov) to Earth happens on Mon Dec 30 2019 at a distance of 2.69632016 Astronomical Units, or 403,363,755 kilometers:" -The Sky Live

Here is a video showing what the comet looks like now:

Some astronomers are excited because they do not know how this comet will react when it starts getting hit with heat from the sun for the first time.... the off gassing could create quite a spectacle.... which is something to watch for.   Here is a glimpse from The Sky Live showing it's position when it is nearest to the earth:

I decided to check on where this thing would be positioned on such a key day.  What I found was something that I happened to miss in my original article.  On the day when the comet is closest to earth and largest and brightest in our sky, on that day this very suspicious comet that has many things in my opinion potentially tying it to the Anti Christ, on that day it is located directly on a SNAKE.  The constellation Hydra to be exact.

Here is a screen shot from Stellarium:

At this point you may be curious as to what EW Bullinger has to say about Hydra, I know I was.
From page 179 of The Witness of the Stars

1. HYDRA (The Serpent).
The Old Serpent Destroyed. The time has at length come for the fulfilment of the many prophecies pictured in the heavens: and in its three final constellations we see the consummation of them all in the complete destruction of the Old Serpent, and all his seed, and all his works.

It is the special work of the Messiah, as “the Lion of the tribe of Judah,” to trample it under foot. It is pictured as the female serpent (Hydra), the mother and author of all evil. Hydra has the significant meaning, he is abhorred! It is an immense constellation extending for above 100 degrees from east to west, beneath the Virgin, the Lion, and the Crab. It is composed of 60 stars; one of the 2nd magnitude, three of the 3rd, twelve of the 4th, etc. The brightest star,–(in the heart of the Serpent), is sometimes called by the moderns Cor Hydræ on that account. Its ancient name is Al Phard (Arabic), which means the separated, put away. Another is called Al Drian, the abhorred. Another star is named Minchar al Sugia, the piercing of the deceiver. There can be no doubt as to what is taught by the constellation of Hydra, nor is it necessary to quote the Scriptures concerning the destruction of the Serpent.

To me this is just another confirmation that we are on the right track... and Greg Lauer has laid out a solid case that we can tentatively keep an eye out for this man to rise onto the scene any day now, from an ethnicity other than being Jewish.  I whole heartedly agree that we should be focused on Christ and His return and not worried about the AC, but, for me personally, it is encouraging to have as much info as possible pointing to the nearness of the Lord's return, especially when the cares of this life try to creep in during this busy holiday season.

God Bless you all!  KEEP LOOKING UP!!
