Lets start with this...
Do any of you feel firmly that the False Prophet will be of Jewish decent? (Again I have a base knowledge of this subject but am far from an expert!

Great question and one that has been floating around for some time.

In order for the Jewish people to be deceived into having a Covenant with Satan, I think that the deceiver in this case will probably have to be Jewish.

Rev 13:11-15

I don't believe there is any indication in the Word as to the national origens of the false prophet.

The False prophet will have the power of the counterfeit spiritual gifts of miracles and will perform signs for the purpose of deception. After convincing the world of the supremacy of the antichrist, he will command men to make an image of the beast. After the image is made, it will be given life by the false prophet. This power of giving life will be another factor why men will worship the antichrist and the image, and those who refuse to do so are put to death. taken from "Footsteps of the Messiah, pg 250

I don't believe there is any reason to think the false prophet would be or would need to be Jewish.

I was basing it on this...which may hold no solid ground if I am missing something?

Revelation 13:11
11And I beheld another beast (First beast being the Anti-Christ) coming up out of the earth (Rather then the sea as the first beast did); and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Could the earth represent Israel (Jewish)...and the sea a foreigner(Gentile)...which I think the answer to that is in Dan 9:26 (rooted from the old roman empire?)


First Beast...

Revelation 13
1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy

AF indicates that out of the earth emphasizes his humanity and appearing like a lamb gives the appearance of a true religious character... But I see the possibility now of what you're saying.

I don't know ether way, I think I agree with Tall Timbers though...we won't be here though, we shall be gone when this happens....we might see the beginning's of something, but you never know...by the time they are truly revealed WE will be home with the Lord...AMEN for that....their are so many possiblitys in this world, that it is hard to concieve of, from a logical point of view he would have to be Jewish for the Jewish people to accept him, but as Tall timbers said satan can and will decieve them from the truth, so in saying that we just don't know...

I have heard that before... maybe.

I'm not sure...

In Revelation 13, we see the "false prophet" will perform great, miraculous signs, even bringing fire down from heaven to earth. It reminds me in the Old Testament "show down", where the (Baal?) prophets were up against the prophet of God, Elisha (Or was it Elijah? I have to look back in the O.T.) Anyways, if I remember right, didn't that "show down" involve bringing fire down from heaven onto the altar? Well, it was proven that Elisha (or Elijah) served the true God, and the false prophets didn't.

However...we see way back in Moses' times, the magicians of Pharoah were able to match some of the same things that Moses did with his staff. Right? So, apparently, God allows demonic power to match some things -- as satan does have power (he just isn't as powerful as God, and will not triumph).

So, it appears to me, that the "false prophet" of Revelation will do something similiar than what we see in the Old Testament story, by bringing fire down from heaven, and possibly try to make it appear he is serving the real, true God. (????) In Matthew 24, in the Trib. period, the false prophets are said to perform great signs & wonders, to deceive even possibly the elect. I wonder if they will use the Old Testament Baal vs. Elisha (or Elijah) as a possible inspiration? If they were to able to almost deceive the elect, I would think the Scripture would have to be involved in some way...

I'm not sure, though (of course). All I know that the "man of sin" verses in 2 THESS show that all will be damned, who did not received the truth to be saved, all those who took pleasure in unrighteousness. Unrighteousness comes in many ways and forms.

I don't think that he will be a Jew because Daniel 11;37 claims "..he will not honour the god of his fathers..". If this was our Lord that Daniel was speaking of, would he not have said "your God "or "your fathers". Instead, he distances himself from this individual by using third person. Revelation speaks of "..those beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the Word of God." There is only one religion that I know of that practices that form of execution and it is not Judaism or Christianity.

Very good point Watchman... I am going

Interesting that Ahmadinjad has recently been reveiled as having Jewish ancestry.

Also there is this:

In a visit to group of Ayatollahs in Qom after returning from his 2005 speech to the UN General Assembly, Ahmadinejad stated he had "felt a halo over his head" during his speech and that a hidden presence had mesmerized the unblinking audience of foreign leaders, foreign ministers, and ambassadors. According to at least one source (Hooman Majd), this was offensive to the conservative religious leaders because an ordinary man cannot presume a special closeness to God or any of the Imams, nor can he imply the presence of the Mahdi.

And bummer wants to be his new buddy.

Maybe after we are raptured they will be AC/DC I mean AC/FP ?????

I don't think the Jewish people will go for that one....
