The Antichrist will be an Assyrian


I read a book last month by Joseph Chambers and in it he stated that Babylon will be rebuilt and the Antichrist will be an Assyrian. I’ve read that before. I read a very good study by Prof. Johan S. Malan and Professor Malan, like Pastor Chambers do an excellent through scripture pointing out that not is this only true, but things happening in Iraq only further substantiate these claims. Anyhow I would like to post a few excerpts from Pastor Chambers book…

The prophets have made it clear that the Antichrist will be an Assyrian. A prophet named Isaiah spoke of this future beast that attacked and destroyed the northern kingdom of Israel. “O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. (Is. 10:5-6). Then, Isaiah gave another part of the Prophecy that is yet to be fulfilled. “That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders (Is. 14:25). This has never been fulfilled so we know that it is about the future Antichrist. He spoke of this Assyrian in clear end-time chronology to leave no doubt as to His meaning. “And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod (Is. 30:30-31). The final Antichrist of this thirteenth chapter of Revelation must be that Assyrian. Even Micah spoke of his death in the gate of Nimrod, which is none other than the Ancient Babylon being revisited at this very hour.
To add to the prophetic miracles that are occurring all over the world, this Assyrian beast represents an unspeakable mystery that can finally be understood. Except for a few historians and the people of Assyrian lineage, nobody in prophetic literature even considered that there were Assyrian people alive right up to this very point in history. Almost as mysterious as the Jews but completely off the radar, the Assyrians—as a distinct people—have survived the centuries with clear unmistakable identity. Living mostly in their own conclaves, they have survived great odds to now surface in northern Iraq and other nations they have fled. For them to presently be involved in uniting their own culture and to be a voice in the new Iraq government cannot be less than perfect planning on the part of out Creator.
[Excerpts from pages 181, 182 of “The Masterpiece: God’s Unfolding Revelation” written by Joseph Chambers]

In light of a few articles I've read across lately by “Assyrian International News Agency”. This seemed relevant to the times we live in and the dark days ahead for those that haven't repented and obeyed the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever (Ps. 119:160)
