The King Is Coming with Jeff Kinley
Antichrist The Coming Prince Of Darkness - Episode 7
This program explores the biblical prophecies regarding the Antichrist, focusing on his origins, character, and ultimate defeat. Speaker Jeff Kinley examines scriptural evidence to debunk common misconceptions about the Antichrist's identity while emphasizing the importance of spiritual discernment in the modern age.
The Identity and Ethnicity of the Antichrist
Common speculations regarding the Antichrist’s background often suggest he will be of Jewish or Muslim descent, yet scriptural analysis provides counter-arguments for both. The theory of a Jewish Antichrist frequently relies on a specific translation of Daniel 11:37 regarding the "gods of his fathers," where the plural "Elohim" likely refers to pagan deities rather than the God of Israel. Similarly, a devout Muslim is unlikely to exalt himself above Allah or sign a peace treaty that allows the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple on Islamic holy sites. Instead, biblical evidence suggests he will be a Gentile rising from the territories of the former Roman Empire, emerging as a "little horn" from relative obscurity to fill a leadership vacuum during a future global crisis.
The Rise to Power and the Tribulation Period
The Antichrist's ascent is described as a meteoric rise to the pinnacle of the political landscape, triggered by a post-Rapture crisis. He is expected to broker a seven-year peace treaty with Israel, which he will eventually break, leading to the "time of Jacob’s trouble"—a period of unprecedented distress for the Jewish people. This era is marked by the "abomination of desolation," where the Antichrist blasphemes God and demands global worship, enforced by a mark or name on his followers.
The Devolution of the Human Heart
A survey of the Book of Revelation reveals a grim progression in human nature during the end times. Rather than turning toward God during judgments, the collective human heart appears to harden, moving from fear and hiding to active blasphemy and eventually gathering at Armageddon to wage war against the returning Christ. This "devolution" highlights the effectiveness of Satan’s deceptive schemes and the necessity of objective biblical truth to maintain discernment.
Ultimate Defeat and the Purpose of Study
The narrative concludes with the triumphant return of Jesus Christ. The Antichrist and the False Prophet are seized and cast alive into the lake of fire, marking the end of their reign and the beginning of a kingdom where righteousness dwells. For modern believers, studying these events is not merely academic; it equips them to recognize the "spirit of antichrist" currently active in the world and motivates urgent evangelism to spare others from the coming tribulation.
While the specific identity of the Antichrist remains shrouded in mystery until the post-Rapture era, the Bible provides a clear framework for his character and eventual downfall. Ultimately, history remains under God's sovereign control, and the study of prophecy serves to point believers toward the true King who is coming.

Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel
Dross and the US Dollar
More and more are having concerns about the US dollar. To a degree, the economy of ancient Rome was based on a silver coin called the denarius. However, as access to silver was limited and the government of Rome wanted to spend more money, emperors began to degrade the denarius by putting less and less silver into it, until it became a bronze coin. Basically, the denarius became dross. Up until 1964, American silver coins contained silver--actually they were 90% silver by weight. But in 1965, the USA changed that and eliminated all silver from its dimes and quarters, and several years later from its half dollars. The Bible specifically warns against turning silver into dross. 'Dross' was the scum that would float to the top when metals were being refined, and was discarded. Another way to turn money into dross is to print paper with no backing. The US dollar used to be backed by gold, but now it has no real backing. And to make matters worse, the federal government continues to print more of it only backed by 'pledges' known as US Treasury notes--debt. The prophet Habakkuk warned that a heavily indebted nation would be conquered by its creditors. Could that happen to the USA? Are there dire consequences in turning the dollar into dross? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie discuss these issues.
