Verse 8

Improved Essays
He was playing to the evangelicals in the crowd. The insincerity was dripping from every pore of this man’s body language. Of course, the main writer of “The Art of the Deal”, Brian Schwartz, said that if he were to write the book all over again, he’d title it, “The Sociopath”. What? You thought Trump wrote the book? I would never “personally” say Trump didn’t write it but I hear some are sayin’… (Trump tactic in play).
Verse 26 has the Antichrist “coming to his end” as the kingdom is handed over to the saints for an everlasting kingdom; clearly a reference to the end of not only the Antichrist but of the age as the Lord returns to set up His kingdom on earth. The next reference in chapter 8 is even more revealing as it points to the character

I must admit, I get a bit of a smirk every time I read this as I think of how Donald Trump blew a head gasket at the mere suggestion by Marco Rubio that he had small hands. I’m sure the reader is fully aware of Trump’s defensive posture during the Republican debates, a night most would rather expunge from their memory. A horn represents a seat of power and authority in scripture (1 Samuel 2:1; 1 Samuel 16:1 1 Samuel 16:13 ; 1 Kings 1:39 ; 22:11 ; Joshua 6:4 Joshua 6:5 ; Psalms 75:5 Psalms 75:10 ; 132:17 ; Luke 1:69) as do hands (Joshua 8:20; Judges 1:35; Psalms 76:5; Psalms 89:48; 2 Kings 3:15; Exodus 14:31; Deuteronomy 34:12). The horn symbolizes a position of power. Hands symbolize the administration and execution of that power. The smallness of Trump’s hands is representative of the smallness of the real man; a man who now controls the nuclear codes for the United States. The very fact he was so overly concerned about the publics’ perception of his “physical” self is evidence of the small manhood of his psychological and spiritual self. As we’ll later see, the Antichrist is not one who approaches the battlefield in a cool collected manner, but is one who lashes out in a reactionary and vengeful rage. Trump reactionary?

    The first message I ever gave was here a couple of years ago, and it was also on Romans. And in that message, I explained what it meant when certain words are used to begin a passage. Romans 8:28 begins with the word “AND”. When a passage starts with the word “AND”, what it means is, that it’s a connection. It’s a connection between what he has been saying and what he's about to say.…

    As stated earlier, E.M Cook was one of the scholars that contributed to the “son of God” debate and argued that the “son” was a negative figure. Cook offered the most comprehensive defense to the negative interpretation in his article, “4Q246”. Cook states “the Akkadian prophecies provide the most convincing background for 4Q246” and he argues for a direct relationship with these scrolls . The Akkadian prophecies introduced by Cook are a compilation of five works that date from the twelfth-century B.C.E to the Seleucid period . In Cooks article, he highlights twelve traits that Aramaic and Akkadian texts exhibit in common; however, on further examination, Collins reveal that they are not as impressive as they initially seem .…

    Because it has typological inferences to a historical king, Satan and The Antichrist, this chapter presents interpretive challenges.

Located on the Mediterranean Sea, Tyre was a major trading center and jewel of the ancient world.…

    He knew what he had to say and do to get white conservative Christians to accept him. If someone had only heard this segment, and knew nothing about Donald Trump previously, the tailored rhetorical devices would be effective. The use of Ethos to create similarities with the audience, the use of Logos to convince skeptics, and the use of Pathos to construct emotional stories and situations was exactly recipe to convince white evangelicals. Matthew 6:1 (NIV) “Be careful not practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no rewards from your Father in heaven.”…

    Throughout The Bible, passages describe the character of The Antichrist using both direct prophetic allusions and types (typology). Within all these passages, certain themes are discovered again and again. The composite picture paints a fairly simple-minded yet predetermined individual, driven by an insatiable desire for self-elevation and praise. Like Lucifer before him, this obsession will cause The Antichrist to proclaim himself as God’s co-equal, if not higher. Lucifer’s proclamation is recorded in Isaiah 14:13-14: “ 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north.…

    Romans 6-16

    The verse that I chose for my history of interpretation is Romans 9:6-16. This verse is significant in soteriology because it signifies that God is the only one that has the right to decide whom will be saved and whom will be damned. In other words, God saves individuals he thinks to deserve a place in his kingdom and perish people who do not deserve a place in heaven. This passage is also important because it teaches Christians about divine election, how individuals are predestined to salvation and God’s sovereignty. Also, God creates some people for eradication to show his fury and power and creates others for grace to show his mercy.…
