Doug from Creation Concepts is seeing everything and more that the Lord showed us over the last couple years only with more detail and clarity. Very encouraging.

The great army of Joel 2
In Joel’s prophecy, God’s people are described under the figure of a plague of locusts. [vs. 25] The locust metaphor alludes to the Israelites in the wilderness. After the Exodus, Moses commissioned representatives from each tribe to survey the land that Israel was to inherit. When they returned after 40 days some of the spies gave an evil report, describing the people dwelling in the land as giants, and themselves as grasshoppers. People who have not entered the saints’ promised land are represented in Joel’s prophecy by locusts.

The giants in the land are (pride, gossip, envy, strife, greed, hate, bitterness, covetousness , sodomy, sensationalism, unforgiveness, fornication etc.) The overcomers are to do battle with all of these giants in the God-Magog war by going in and possessing the land of the heart….peace bill
Who is Antichrist?
1 John 2 & 4 clearly outlines what/who is antichrist.
1John 4:
3 And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist,
This phrase Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is quite interesting.
By a quick read one would think “Oh, well this is saying that everyone who denies that Jesus was born on this earth is AC” (again fleshly understanding)
But that isn’t really anyone, most all religions believe he was here.
So what does the phrase really mean? Well continue on to verse 4 the very next line of inspired scripture – this explains is come in the flesh.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
come in the flesh = he that is in you
To further explain: as a comparison to is come verse was made:
John also wrote the gospel of John and this is the scripture concerning Jesus on earth – born
John 1: 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, ( WAS not IS as in 1 John 4) past vs. present tense
1 John 2:18+ is not any different than 1 John 4:3-4
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abides in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
unction/ anointing/ Christ are all forms of the root word chrisma 5545, the holy spirit
5545 chrisma khris’-mah from 5548; an unguent or smearing, i.e. (fig.) the special endowment (“chrism”) of the Holy Spirit:–anointing, unction.
Who is antichrist? He that denies that Christ is come in your flesh making you a born again creature… All antichrists say the same thing: I am just a rotten sinner, but when I get to heaven then I will be perfect and will know all things. But not here on earth -god winks at my sins and doesn’t see them even though I continue in them. They have blasphemed the Holy spirit by saying these things professing Christ to their shame doing despite to the spirit of grace and counting the blood of the covenant an unholy thing. (Hebrews 10)
This is the HOPE- Be born again and live and do the works meet for repentance by the power of the unction living within. Who is the overcomer? He that has the testimony of Christ and does the commandments.
Rev. 14:
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
