Since the book of Genesis, we have seen that mankind desires and needs a king.
Scripture also informs us that mankind needs a High Priest…
Or a Mediator between man and God…
But the problem is any ruler who comes from the corrupted seed of Adam is incapable of fulfilling those roles according to God’s standard of perfection.
So what to do?
The only option is for God to be King Himself…
And to establish a ruler who is so in sync with God’s attributes and character that it’s as if that ruler and He are one and the same.
However, as we’ve seen in 1 Samuel, men in their sinful desires, don’t desire a Godly king.
They want a king patterned after the nations.
Ironically, it is this very desire that Satan will use to establish a world leader whom the Bible calls “the Man of Lawlessness”...
Or perhaps you better know him as the “Anti-Christ”?
I believe the time is ripe for his appearance.
I know previous generations have predicted the same…
But when we look at the state of affairs in the world today…
We can see mankind is desperately crying out for a ruler to solve their problems and save them.
We see this burning desire present worldwide in virtually every culture.
Can you see what I mean when I say the time is ripe for the appearance of the Anti-Christ?
Just as in the days of Samuel when the people were crying out for an earthly king to save them…
So too today is mankind crying out for a worldly ruler to rescue them from their problems….
You’d best believe homies, the devil is going to milk this burning desire for all it’s worth and give the people what they want.
A charismatic ruler who will promise world peace…
But will ultimately be against God’s Laws and against everything the Scripture stands for…
Is it now becoming clear how Saul is a pattern for the future anti-Christ?
See ya all next time.
