Mulling over LEE LOFASO to STEVE ASHER 01 Oct 2005

G'day Lee,

Good to see you back, I had seen messages in other echoes saying you had
evacuated before Katrina OK, & John Wilson's "Dunked Piano Blues".

>DS>Foot of Christ at His Return". It wouldn't surprise me...as nothing
>DS>is impossible for God...that he could cause an earthquake in the
>DS>region that would destroy the Mosque Of Omar/Dome Of The Rock...but
>DS>leave the surrounding buildings untouched. Of course, the Muslims
>DS>will accuse the Jews of sabotage, if something like that happens.

SA>One thing is for sure, the Mosque has just about passed its use-by date.
SA>I can see several scenarios - direct intervention of God, similar to
SA>above; destruction by Israeli "fundamentalists" seeking to
build temple;
SA>destruction by US / Israel military in response to some future terror
SA>attack; destruction by jihadis as part of attack on Jerusalem etc.

 LL> I found something interesting concerning the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the
 LL> web, that perhaps you and others might want to take a look at -

 LL> http://exodus2006.com/fab/Destructmosque.htm

I have it in my browser now...

 LL> If "bible codes" do really predict the future, and if this
 LL> particular "bible code" is accurate, then...

... 2005 or 2006 would seem to be about the right time frame.
However, my brain sees nothing in the particular code on that site.
If those codes have any meaning, it is unlikely that I will get much
out of them ... the local paper made a big thing of Sudoku puzzles a
few months back ... I took one look at them and did something else. :)

>>likely to me that the USA will remain intact & dominant, with the
>>EU nations as "kings" ruling with it.

>DS>When The Beast comes to power, he'll rule the nations with a
>DS>reign of terror.

SA>While pretending to bring peace and safety.

 LL> Antichrist might not be pretending, but rather believing himself to
 LL> be actually bringing peace and safety to mankind.  

Yes, you are quite right, I would have been better to put "appearing",
for Antichrist and those who are deluded (most people) will believe it.

 LL> Will the Antichrist recognize himself as being the Antichrist when 
 LL> he comes to power?  Did Judas Iscariot recognize himself as 
 LL> betraying Christ? AFAIK, only after he betrayed Christ did Judas 
 LL> realize what he did. 

Again, Antichrist is likely to believe that he is the Messiah, not
Antichrist... and will ultimately sit in the temple of God, showing
himself to be God & demanding to be worshipped as God, but Satan
will be the mastermind behind this.

>DS>When Christ returns, He'll rule the nations with a
>DS>rod of iron.

SA>And, I assume with perfect justice in wielding that rod.

 LL> Nah.  There won't be any need to wield a rod.

Well, Christ will rule with a rod of iron, & the earth will still
have sin & failure, even with Satan bound up ... there may be national
boundaries to be redrawn, anti-God laws to be repealed or amended, &
so on. I doubt that politicians will be so keen to mislead the people
during that time, unlike now.

Cheers, Steve..
