A Closer Look at the AntichristThe Bible describes the Antichrist as a man who will come out of the Roman Empire and possess great power over all nations. Bible scholars and preachers have suggested various individuals throughout history who may fit this description, including Nero, Domitian, Mohammed, Charlemagne, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Woodrow Wilson, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, FDR, JFK, Armand Hammer, Henry Kissinger, Saddam Hussein, President Obama, a Jew, or the Papal dynasty. However, a closer examination of the biblical description suggests that the papal dynasty is the most likely candidate for the Antichrist.

The Importance of the 70 Weeks Vision in DanielThe 70 weeks vision in the book of Daniel is a divine time measure that points to the coming of the Messiah. It is the only time measure in the Bible and prophesies the exact year of the Messiah's appearance, as well as the six functions he will perform. The prophecy began with a certain decree in 457 B.C. and ran for 490 years, with the final week ending in 34 A.D. It is essential to understand the 70 weeks vision in order to fully appreciate the significance of the crucifixion of Jesus and his role in ushering in the new covenant.
