In today's class, we continued considering the evidence for the possible royal contender (Charles) for the Beast in Stage 3.
One key point which was brought out in discussion is the danger of having assumptions regarding details of prophecy, which are not present in Scripture.
Here are a few examples of assumption, which are commonly held, regarding our current topic of study:
Assumptions:
·
The idea,
in Scripture, that “all the world wondered after the Beast”, has come to mean
that in every stage, the whole world will know that the Beast is the Beast.
o This statement applies to stage 4 (Scripturally)
o We don’t want to assume that, just because
the Beast is not commonly recognized in stages 1-3, that it’s not the Beast.
·
The
Beast will rule in Jerusalem (because of the Abomination of Desolation)
o We expect to see the Beast walk through the
gates of literal Jerusalem.
o But does that mean that the Beast has to
physically be in Jerusalem? There actually isn’t a verse that says he will be
physically there…
o He as god sits in the Temple of god, showing
himself that he is god. (Is this a physical “sitting” or a figurative one?). To "sit" indicates authority over, according to Strong's.
· The Riddle of the Beast (was [alive as a human], is not [the human dies], and
yet is [the devil can’t raise the dead, yet spirits can impersonate])...
o The human beast will die by murder, or
violence.
o Could the human beast (stage 3) die by
sickness? (the word for “sword” is both literal and figurative. Figuratively, "sword" applies to death by judgment, which a physical illness could be.)
Additionally, we specifically focused on the 2022 Commonwealth Games, which were introduced by Charles and then the program was the "presentation" of the Beast manifesting in the world. Was this event, as many claim a announcement of the Beast's arrival, connecting Charles with this role?
Then, Prince Charles, gave the opening speech, opening the Commonwealth Games, which directly connected him with the following show:
Additionally, here are a couple of resource links, which were mentioned in class:
Also, Linda (who is in this class. Thank you, Linda) sent a news link regarding Charles... Could this be how the human beast receives his "deadly wound" and gets replaced by a demonic entity? He could recover, of course, but its a possibility worth noting:
Finally, at the start of class today, I mentioned an amazing Spiritual Warfare testimony... Here is the link to view it:

Additional Study Resources:
Since we are examining Tim Cohen's teachings regarding Charles of England, we had discussed his book Antichrist and a Cup of Tea, originally published in 1989.
With Tim Cohen's blessing and permission, Rick Lengel (who is in this class with his wife, Becca) provided the Tim's original book in pdf form. The following is the link to this book on pdf, for your studying convenience (big thank you, Rick!):
Also, for more information on the four stages of the Beast, you may wish to watch my Youtube videos of the series I gave on that topic. Here are the video links:
