'End Times' Prep - Minstrel - 11-18-2025
If you are a believer in the 'Christian' version of the 'end times'
and some antichrist-like figure comes to the fore
(say - like a 'Mamdani')
do you oppose them, or
rejoice that it's all about to end
and help pave their way?
(...or, do you see another alternative/version?)

As a natural Christian, I believe in the prophecies, what I have read at least, along with what others have interpreted, that has influenced me. It is hard to relate to ancient cultures in other lands, but it is what I have and the best around for the most part. Mame Danny isn't even in the Biblical playbook from my perspective, so that isn't in the forefront of that situation IMO.

Thanks.
I realize there are numerous 'Christian' versions...and that some (as your own) do not give credence to what was mildly described, above...while some make such 'doctrine' a central tenet of their particular path/s.
And, I suppose, I should have narrowed it down, further, with the explanation that I was addressing those, or those familiar-enough with such doctrine, to have an opinion.
To some the question might be entirely pertinent, while others (as yourself) find else-wise.
I simply find it an intriguing moral dilemma, from the perspective of my fundamental upbringing.
RE: 'End Times' Prep - Ninurta - 11-18-2025
There are several different Christian versions of the "end times" - there are the Premillenialists, the Post Millenialists, the Amillenialists, etc. I'm a "Pan-Millenialist" - I think it will all pan out in the end according to God's plan, whatever that plan is, and I believe God holds that plan pretty close to the vest.
The Bible speaks of quite a number of "antichrists". Now, I know that many Christians mean "THE Antichrist" when they speak thusly, the one mentioned by John in the Apocalypse of Revelations... but I also think that one has already come and gone, nearly 2000 years ago.
But let's assume I believe that THE Antichrist is coming soon, just for the sake of discussion. I'm not sure why I would care about that. I already have a God, so I wouldn't be worshiping another one. No reason to live in fear and dread, because what is gonna happen is gonna happen - nothing I can do to help or hinder it. So I don't understand why I would waste my time striving in either of those directions.
Really, I can't figure out a reason to get my drawers in a wad over any antichrists, including THE Antichrist. Wouldn't it make more sense to just make sure I'm right with my God, and let that mean old Antichrist worry over his own problems, rather than ME trying to worry over his problems and neglect God due tot that effort in the wrong direction?
So, I would neither cower in fear nor rejoice in promotion of the end. What the Antichrist does ain't none of my business - I don't belong to him, and I don't think any Child of God would belong to that Antichrist - that would be just a pull in opposite directions that would pull a man apart, no?
I think that whatever this Antichrist does or does not do, if one is a Child of God and refuses to allow himself to get sidetracked from that, then he or she will be ok in the end... and the end is the goal, the prize, the place you're supposed to keep your eye on, and persevere on to, isn't it?
Whether the "end times" came 2000 years ago, will come tomorrow, or 2000 years in the future, what is certain is that the end will come for us all, sooner or later, within usually 100 years or less. Best be ready for that end, because if you are, then none of the other ends will catch you by surprise.
No one knows when their own individual "end times" will come, whether in a massive world shaking apocalypse or whether with a quiet loss of one's next breath. So I believe the watchwords should be "semper preperatus" - always prepared. If you're always prepared, knowing that the end WILL come whether in a bang or a whimper, the"end times" won't matter so much - you'll be onward and upward in any case.

I was reading that it's every Christians duty to bring about the apocalypse not long ago. Was there a name for it?
Whatever you prep for, there is no reason to prep for more than two weeks, it's chaos after that, walking dead basically. Just make sure you have stock for two weeks. Know where the rivers and stream are, thats the best we can do. Prepare for cannibalism, walking dead really isn't far off.
RE: 'End Times' Prep - Michigan Swamp Buck - 11-18-2025
Many times when people talk of the Anti-Christ, they are referring to The Beast. There are many anti-Christs, it is a label for anyone who is against Christ.
I wouldn't want to take the number of the beast to buy and sell though. Some Christians think as long as you believe in Christ, you can take the number without committing sin, I don't think so myself.

Yong kind of had (Carl Jung)
57:21
radical and
57:27
original very helpful psychologically views on evil that
57:32
ultimately integrate into his individuation picture you know and Rudolph CER is very similar he
57:41
he understands and sees evil as fundamentally something
57:48
necessary for human evolution
57:53
something in his his picture of for example Lucifer and Armon which are are
57:59
kind of biblical based if you have eyes to see pictures of evil where there's the
58:06
Beast crouching at the door in Genesis and there's also the serpent in the garden these are different pictures of
58:13
one the serpent being a luciferic and the Beast being armonic pictures of
58:19
different kinds of evil one being egotistically
58:25
devoted to power you could say that's the Beast might makes right that impulse in
58:32
us that's the beast that's araman this kind of Persian
58:39
name and then Lucifer which is this part in us that wants to be God already
58:48
imagines ourself as bigger than who we are you can be God basically is what the
58:54
serpent says um in Genesis and this impulse lives in
58:59
us both of these so his conception is that these archetypes if you will or
59:08
beings impulses live in Us in all of us and they help us in a way
59:19
by bringing us to bringing us off the track so that we are called to find the
59:27
track find the good again
something else about the adversary..who was talking about it again..I forget now
RE: 'End Times' Prep - MrJesterium - 11-18-2025
I am not a Christian. I don't pray, I don't practice. I reject that Jesus was God embodied in the flesh, the virgin birth, that Jesus is the only son of God, that Jesus died by crucifixion, etc. I also reject the creeds/formulations given by the churches, absurd Trinity, the dogma of sin, forgiveness/redemption, transubstantiation, etc. I resent having been brought up in a Christian upbringing. I regret I wasn't raised in a secular family, spared from absurd fictions. My re-education is of the humanist mold (i.e. Bertrand Russell, Schopenhauer).
That said, I strongly believe in the Antichrist! I'm afraid this is no laughing matter, this is deadly serious. It's not implausible that a delusional, self-deceived person, endowed with manifold gifts/talents and a brilliant mind, would go haywire if he were given all the power in the world, gradually believing he is God, demanding worship from all, and enforcing this belief with persecutions, executions, etc.
We saw something like this before with Hitler when he spoke about Providence, destiny, and his mission. He believed what he said and did exactly what he said he would do but his contemporaries believed it was rhetoric.
One doesn't have to be religious or entertain crazy beliefs to realize that there are madmen who would attempt the same thing if they had the power. (It doesn't matter who said it, it's the truth): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3QH_7bbmmw serial killer Carl Panzram tried to start a "big war" between US and UK while profiting from it. He added, "These
schemes may sound fantastic and grandiloquent and impossible of accomplishment by one man, but I feel sure that it could be done, and I also feel sure that I could have and would have done just exactly as planned if circumstances and luck had not been against me."

Today, we see the political right, evangelicals, QAnon, Alt-Right, etc., trying to portray Trump as a savior-like figure while Trump plays to his base and panders to their hatred.
No, Trump is not the Antichrist, although the Democrats, CIA, Corporations would like to convince you that he's their guy. Neither is Elon Musk.
Comparing Trump with Hitler would be superficial. Hitler was a soldier/military leader, Trump has no military experience. When Trump met with general Alexander Lebed, he said "you wouldn't want to play nuclear weapons with this f*cker... This is not like your average real-estate guy who's rough and mean."
_____
Here are the Facts:
Religion is the last thing standing against tyrants, dictators, politicians, etc., Prevents them from brazenly doing whatever the f*ck they want out in the open. They have to work around it, by pluming themselves as charitable, honorable, outwardly Christian. That's the actual reason why they want to get rid of the Christian religion, not to replace it with something better (which I'd support), but so that they can cover up traces of their crimes in the chaos.
If you tell the American people that everything they believed in was a lie, that their values are worthless, it shapes a void which leads to something like the Soviet Union collapse. A Russian analyst who lived to see the Soviet Union collapse told me,
Quote:Post-conscientious people who grew up in the hothouse conditions of the Soviet Union were not ready to meet the Western propaganda system. We were used to the fact that the information provided from television, books and newspapers is 100% verified, filtered by censorship, and truthful._____
Therefore, we believed everything that poured from the television screens. We were very disappointed and didn't know how to live on and what to believe in. The ideals and value system of an entire country were destroyed overnight. Therefore, it is not surprising that people who have lost their moral guidelines began to do anything.
As soon as the USSR collapsed, radical anti-soviet propaganda poured in from all sides, the destruction of Soviet ideals and the education system, the propaganda of free sex, hedonism, drunkenness, banditry and the imposition of liberal ideas. The basic principle of the new ideology was as follows: "The minnow who does not dream of becoming a shark is bad." If you don't rob another, then others will rob you. The law of force. The law of the food hierarchy.
To that end, I'm willing to help defend Christendom and reinstate religion, provided the Christian religion is purified and purged of its errors by a pope and ecumenical councils.
To that end, I have long been building a compelling case for the Antichrist's existence. For starters, here's a highly detailed dream seen over the span of 15 years by an Austrian clairvoyant: https://old.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/v496hh/my_dreams_of_the_future/ There were other visions, such as Ken Peters, who provides a lot of important details (i.e. infants being left out in the open, that'll be explained later on, let's just say that the biblical/quranic verses about pregnant women, mass-abortions, abandoned fetuses, etc. will be coming true soon. This is bigger than Covid!).
The real Antichrist will most likely be a western Christian, military soldier and leader crowned emperor of Europe, the majority of Jews and Christians will go over to him.
The most realistic/plausible scenarios can be read in Russian philosopher Vladimir Solovyov's Short Tale of the Antichrist and Daniil Andreev's The Rose of the World. These are not really mystical works (mysticism/occultism), the difficulty lies in their presentation. If they received scientific training, they could've formulated it clearly.
Apparently, it all begins with the publication of a manifesto (not mine): https://pixeldrain.com/u/dyV3hc82
Karl Marx and Hitler likewise began their revolutions with manifestos. Hitler was mistaken to assert that revolutions are carried by demagogues, not by writers, it always begins with a thought and written words.
By the end of November, I will attempt to publish the entirety of my (9-15+ years) inquiry about the Antichrist. This is merely a fraction of what I've uncovered. But my reach is greatly limited due to being censored on mainstream western social media. I'm mostly confined to a few friends and some Russian blog readers. I'm not asking anyone here to share this, but I'm asking decent peoples to start contemplating the subject they've long ridiculed.

"The chief aim of anti-Semitism is to serve, firstly, as a kind of secret sign and binding mystery among Nazis, like a continuous ritual murder; and, secondly, as the conscience-killing course in the education of the second generation of Nazis..." (Germany: Jekyl and Hyde by Sebastian Haffner)
A good example of this can already be seen in science:
"Thousands of young doctors, teachers, and laboratory assistants, on beginning their careers, experience a natural feeling of revulsion for the scientific techniques associated with the torture and killing of living beings. But as things stand, every such person faces a dilemma: either stifle their compassion with rationalizations about the good of humanity or abandon a career in science, as there is no other methodology.
The overwhelming majority, of course, choose the former and gradually become more and more inured in the practice of inhumane methods." (Daniil Andreev, The Rose of the World)

It's not surprising that you would disagree. There are a number of things we disagree on, and there are also a number of things we are in complete agreement upon. That's one of the things that makes the world go 'round. If we were in complete agreement upon everything, then one of us would be completely unnecessary and superfluous. As it stands, in the points we disagree on, I'd say we both have at least something to add to the discussion, and that's what makes life worth living.
In matters of the Antichrist, you are correct about me - I care nothing at all about the Antichrist. I am entirely indifferent, and utterly careless about his existence or non-existence. I do not care about what he may do to Society, because he cannot do anything to it without it's permission - if it gives that permission, it gets what it gets. If Society wants to give him that power over them, then they can live with the results of their own actions.
I withdrew from Society quite some time ago, I saw the cliff it was intent on driving itself off of, and wanted no part of it. Oh, I still offer my opinions on what it does to itself, but those are offered primarily as a disinterested observer, rather than as a frantic member.
The values you mention (power, glory, honor, wealth), are societal values, not mine. They are the very tools Society uses to deconstruct itself and leave itself vulnerable to manipulation by ne'er -do-wells like an Antichrist. My withdrawal from Society was not because I worshiped those values, but rather because I rejected them and Society clung to them for dear death. That necessitated a parting of the ways.
Society is no longer mine to transform. I've checked out of it. I can't say that I care what an Antichrist can or may do to it, because it invites that destruction upon itself. I'm just along for the ride, and to observe from the sidelines. If society had any interest in saving itself, it would reflect inwardly and deeply, and reassess the values it continues to hold dear. Just as one cannot help an addict until he desires transformation himself, so also no one will save society from an Antichrist or any other malady until it first chooses to transform itself and eschews it's love of the destructive values it holds dear. - the power, glory, honor, wealth, fame etc that it continues to maintain it's addiction to.

Please share your insights with us. I find your posts interesting.

RE: 'End Times' Prep - GeauxHomeLittleD - 11-21-2025
I'm not prepping for Biblical "End Times" and I'm not going to help bring it on either. While I am a Christian I don't believe everything written in the Bible because it was written by superstitious, fallible men and then edited by men with ulterior motives (power, control, strengthening patriarchal rule) like the Council of Nicaea.
What I DO prep for is natural calamities and war in all of its forms. If God has His eye on the sparrow he's probably keeping tabs on me too so I trust Him to have my back- and I will do my best to return the favor however I can.
