I was wrong

[KevinM]

When Dan 8:20-23 says four kings  sprang up from Greece, this already happened according to some people   

“20 “The two-horned ram that you saw stands for the kings of Meʹdi·a and Persia. 21 The hairy male goat stands for the king of Greece; and the great horn that was between its eyes stands for the first king. 22 As for the horn that was broken, so that four stood up instead of it, there are four kingdoms from his nation that will stand up, but not with his power. 23 “And in the final part of their kingdom, as the transgressors act to a completion, a fierce-looking king who understands ambiguous sayings will stand up. . .” (Da 8:20-23)

Rest assured i won’t be able to reply

Perhaps because it's ONE O'clock in the morning, I see NO connection between the topic "I was wrong", the scripture you quoted, and the comment in red.

Could you please explain, as if to a to a two  year old, who need crayons and hand puppets?

Is it not Donald Trump? He prefers a fierce look. That is his image. That became clear from his tv show Apprentice, and the slogan "You are fired".

Using your logic ... the ONLY person on Earth it COULD be ... is Clint Eastwood.

And at the end of their kingdom, when the transgressions are completed, a king will arise, fierce in countenance and skilled in riddles. ²⁴ And his power will grow, but not by his own power, and he will cause fearful destruction, and he will succeed and he will act, and he will destroy the mighty and the saints. ²⁵ And by his planning(“cunning”) he will make a success of deceit by his hand, and in his heart he will magnify himself and in their ease he will destroy many, and even against the prince of princes he will rise up, and he will be broken, but not by human hands. 

“fierce” -  strong, vehement, harsh:—fierce, greedy, mighty, power, roughly, strong.

Sure, Trump looks like that, but his looks are not deceiving to the holy people/saints who are conquered by the man of lawlessness.

It is “skilled in riddles”, or intrigue, or can perceive…

“a puzzle, hence, a trick, conundrum, sententious maxim:—dark saying (sentence, speech), hard question, proverb, riddle.”

Trump may create riddles when he speaks, but many times he can’t even perceive what he said. Has he tricked the "saints" with his riddles?  

The Wild Beast/man of lawlessness (Rev 13:18) is given power by the false prophet of Rev 13:11:

Dan 8:24 - “And his power will grow, but not by his own power, and he will cause fearful destruction, and he will succeed and he will act”

“It (false prophet) exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed” Rev 13:12

If the man of lawlessness comes against the Prince of princes, Jesus Christ, how is that possible when Christ is in heaven?  It is through God’s “new creation” of spirit-born “heavenly” anointed saints who are part of his Body. 2 Cor 5:17; Eph 2:19-22  But, the takeover happens when the saints are “at ease”, at peace:

security (genuine or false):—abundance, peace(-ably), prosperity, quietness.

1 Thess 5:1-3: 

“Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need of anything to be written to you, ² for you yourselves well know that the day of the Lord is coming in the same way as a thief in the night. ³ Whenever they say “Peace and security,” then sudden destruction will overtake them like the birth pains of a pregnant woman, and they will not possibly escape.”

“Now we ask you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to him, ² that you not be easily shaken from your composure, nor be troubled either by a spirit or by a message or by a letter alleged to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has arrived. ³ Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, ⁴ who opposes and who exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God.”  2 Thess 2:3,4

The times and seasons have always been the WT’s agenda. The day of the Lord is said to have occurred in 1914.  “Peace” and “security” are offered through the organization – the organization that more than ever before, blasphemes the anointed Temple of God by replacing God’s priests and their “daily sacrifice” of praise, and by the given  authority to the elder body to spiritually judge God’s true priesthood. Rev 13:15  The elder body is exalted while the anointed in Christ are lost and silenced somewhere inside.   It is rebellion against the Prince of princes.   It is the Wild Beast of the Sea whom all within its walls, revere. If you could only see this, Kosonen. Who is like the Beast/Watchtower?  Who can make war with "Jehovah's organization"? See Rev 13:4    While the anointed reflect the spirit-directed image of God’s Zion, (1 Cor 3:16,17) the elder body reflect the spirit-directed image of the organization/idol ALSO known as earthly Zion- a counterfeit of the true Zion/Temple of God.  Rev 13:15

The man of lawless comes against the saints when they are in a peaceful setting.  So does Gog and Magog, who are the two Beasts of Revelation 13.  Ezek 38:14-16; Rev 20:7-10  And the locust army of Joel 2:1-3 and Rev 9:2,3  They are all descriptive accounts of the "man of lawlessness" in the last days.

I don't think you have to worry too much about contracting Covid-19, the Coronavirus, or WUFLU ... all the same thing .... as much as you should be concerned about having a full blown case of BOTH Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) AND Watchtower Derangement Syndrome (WDS), at the same time.

It could only be worse if you lived in your Mother's basement with 35 cats.
