There are a lot of fellows floating around the world scene at the moment that one could possibly classify as being the Man of Sin? Already on this blog I have made a few comparisons between some of those possible suspects.
That being said there are some who are saying that we shall not know just who the Antichrist is until he moves into the newly built temple in Jerusalem, when the word of God quite clearly says that we shall know just who he is a long time before that date once he confirms a seven year Middle East peace treaty between the Jews of Israel and the Palestinians.
The correct Bible verse for that is Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27
King James Version (KJV)
27And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Over in Australia at the moment we have BRITISH climate change sceptic, Lord Christopher Monckton, preaching to the unsaved with his series of talks on various subjects such as the World Government, Global Warming, and so on.
Christopher Monckton is a man of many talents and I may not be overestimating him to call him an extremely intelligent man, if not sheer genius?
While having enormous success with his endeavours, there is something that is beginning to raise alarm bells relative to the man in question.
Who is he, and what does he want? Is it simply money, or is there really a lot more behind this man than meets the eye? You decide for yourself as the world awaits the arrival of the saviour, the man of peace, the economic mastermind etc.
Is this the man the world has been waiting for or is all of this just another one of the figments of my fertile imagination?
Already on this blog I have made several references to the Christopher Monckton but as has been mentioned above there is really something that is beginning to twig comparative to this man, even though he seems from outside appearances to be a saviour, but is that really the case at all?
A good link to look at is this one as it describes Christopher Monckton past and current history

In Revelation Chapter 13, Verses 16 to18 there is a very clear mention in the word of God which speaks of a new system of buying and selling right at the end of the age known as the Mark of the Beast.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
We are also told in Revelation Chapter 14 the punishment for those who take the Mark of the Beast is eternal Hellfire. That alone is a fairly good reason to avoid taking it. Perhaps, but only just perhaps, that is the reason I sense a great deal of fear and trepidation from those who claim they are Born Again Christians relative to the Mark of the Beast?
9: And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10: The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12: Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
After all, we all have to buy and sell in some form or another to live.
It seems to me that the general foreboding that I am sensing from not only some of those who have left comments on various blogs relative to the subject matter, but the general community of Christians in general, seems to stem from the sense of uncertainty some must be feeling as to whether they will be able to live in the world once the Mark becomes compulsory.
Or more correctly, how they will be able to still live in the world by buying and selling AND AVOID TAKING THE MARK once it becomes compulsory...
Of course, there are going to some that are going to disagree with these comments and that certainly is their prerogative to do so.
However, the answer to the aforementioned dilemma is relatively simple; those who truly belong to the Lord will not have to take the Mark of the Beast because they will miraculously be provided for even when it becomes compulsory.
And secondly, it has already been tried on Born Again Christians and it does not work.
So how is the Antichrist going to brainwash someone whose mind he cannot control?
The answer to that is relatively straightforward, he cannot.
Choose against the Mark of the Beast
Every person will be required to choose between 2 options. Please carefully consider these 2 options:
1. Get the mark of the beast – You will be worshiping the beast. The beast is Satan claiming to be God. You will be able to buy and sell. Many people will like you. You can keep your job and your house. But you will soon receive the full wrath of God, poured out without mercy. You will die forever.
2. Refuse the mark of the beast – You will not be able to buy or sell. People will hate you. You will lose your job, your house and most likely your life. But God will have mercy on you and if you believe in Him and worship Him you will live again, forever.
Worship God or Satan?
Every person on earth will worship one of two beings. Either it will be the true God of heaven or it will be the beast, who is Satan claiming to be God.
There is only one way to receive eternal life and one name to believe in to receive salvation.
“the name of Jesus Christ . . . Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name
under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:10-12
There are many ways to be lost and many false gods to worship. The beast will have 666 approved names that all claim to be God but are all false.
Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." Matthew 7:13,14
Each person will either take God’s name or take one of the beast’s 666 names. God has only 1 name and 1 way – the right way. Satan has 666 names, 666 ways – all wrong.
Whose way will you choose? Whose name will you choose? Whom
