DIGITAL ID TRAP: Why You Should Be Worried About Government Overreach

My best guess is 3-for-1: what will end up happening is whatever fulfills as much of all 3 Abrahamic religions' prophecies/expectations as possible out of convenience... [image] Final Answer: The Antichrist, Dajjal, and False Messiah Likely Come from the Middle East (Most likely region based on overlap: Syria) \- The Antichrist's kingdom in Christian texts aligns with Syria. \- Dajjal’s emergence is between Syria and Iraq, but Syria is more central. \- The False Messiah would likely emerge near Israel, making Syria the closest major region. **As for what he might look like?** [image] Final Verdict: Most Likely Physical Traits --- The Antichrist/Dajjal/False Messiah would most likely appear as: ✔ A tall, broad-shouldered Middle Eastern man. ✔ One eye will be deformed or blind. ✔ Thick, curly hair. ✔ Highly charismatic but either deformed or unsettling in appearance. ✔ Speaks persuasively and commands a massive following. I tend to go for averages. I wouldn't rule out Turkey, but I'm on the lookout for a Syrian (2nd guess is Iraq)... and I expect false Bootleg-Jesus to look like a pirate. (*sorry he doesn't look unsettling enough lol)* [image]

It's interesting that the book of Revelation mentions both an antichrist type figure and also a separate false prophet. They are mentioning specific 2 separate people as they are later thrown into the lake of fire. So there will be a religious false prophet and also a political king taking the stage. Revelation 19:20 NKJV \[20\] Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.  https://bible.com/bible/114/rev.19.20.NKJV

Oh good distinction I didn't know about! Thanks for clarifying. One potential candidate for the religious false prophet could be whoever comes after the current Pope Francis imo (who is dying from kidney failure). https://www.politico.eu/article/pope-francis-legacy-death-complex-italy-rome-health/ Others think Francis might be the last pope altogether based off  the prophecies of St. Malachy and St. Nilus (https://qr.ae/pYzRM9). But most scholars consider those 2 forgeries and neither have been approved by the Church.

Here's a good vid on it + other weird prophecy coincidences (like red rivers). Definitely has scary implications for larger geopolitical politics, but most of global population have no idea what's happening and its significance: [video]

Many questions: Would you even know where to start? Do you have any in-person religious community to have these conversations with or help you since you don't go to Church? And baptized as what? A Catholic? A protestant? Non-denominational Christian? Do you have a body of water in mind? Would it be blessed? By who? Would your baptism/baptism certificate be recognized by any Church if the baptized person wished to join one after, or would they have to be baptized 'again'? etc. \> "God will help us figure out how to get it done." Remember, just because God's grace might help you manage it, doesn't mean he's going to do all the 'thinking' for you. It's better you come up with a plan and do your research than going in blind, BEFORE you start trying to invite people to be baptized by you. Otherwise, it could come across as shallow, impulsive, and actually put a candidate off baptism altogether --- creating the opposite effect of what you're intending. And to be honest, I would imagine many people would find the churches' authority on baptism more 'genuine' and thus more appealing (not necessarily true spiritually, but a reality for most people that appeal to authority). Would you be willing to send them to a church instead if that's what they prefer? Not judging, I'm sure you have sincere intentions and it's quite admirable of you to do this. However, it comes across like you're greatly inspired but you haven't fully thought this out. Consider giving such a big sacrament the amount of deep consideration its due. Since, respectfully, playing it by ear probably isn't the best practice for something this spiritually significant.
