The parallel for our times is Lucifer setting himself up in Christ's place, as the word "antichrist" means in the Greek, 'instead of Christ' (1 John 2:18; 'anti-christos', Strong's 500, from 473 and 5547).

 

Isa 26: 10     Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

 

     The truly wicked will not turn from their evil during this flesh time. One can be nice to them, yet in their heart is malice. If this were not so, then our LORD would have no need of gathering the nations of unbelievers together for battle in the last days, so that He can show them in a way they can understand, that He (YHVH) is The GOD, and there is no other .

 

Ezek.36 through 39;

                                         

 Joel 3;                            Read All.

 

 Rev.16: Read All

 

That lesson is especially reserved for the wicked during the battles of Armageddon and Hamongog. GOD Himself will fight it, not us. All will eventually bow to The Son Christ Jesus as the KING at His coming.

 

Philippians 2:10. That at the name of Jesus  every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.

 

 Romans 14:11. For it is written, “As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”

 

Psalms 72:11. Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: All nations shall serve him.

     So if you love The Father through His Son Jesus Christ, have no worry, for He is not angry at you.

 

Those 'in Christ' should be strong in their 'faith' to The LORD, as the little trials we must bear for Him during this flesh time is so 'we' also can try to help His Plan come forth per His Will. It's not that He needs any help, for He does not. But He will use those who discipline themselves in His Word.

 

 His wrath is not upon those who love Him and seek Him early through His Son. The wrath is upon the wicked who will not turn from evil, and those who just don't give a hoot about their Heavenly Father and His Word Which made them.

Isa 26:11     LORD, when Thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of Thine enemies shall devour them.

     This "they" are the same ones spoken of in the previous verse. They won't wake up when God makes ready His Hand up in the air for correction. Have you ever started to do something as a child that your parents didn't approve of, and they had their hand up in the air prepared to give a lesson? That's the analogy here upon the wicked, and those who don't care about our Father through His Son. They're going to be deceived with the future false messiah event.
     Why? Simply because those don't care about God and His Word Which He gave us to study. Who really hasn't had a chance to hear The Gospel of Christ today, if they really want it? The Western Christian Nations still have many Missionaries in foreign nations doing God's Work, and one might be
