Wicked one's endless titles of ignobility

God refers to the Antichrist as the “idol shepherd” in Zechariah 11, meaning he’s caught up in the idolatrous system of his father the devil. Some of the new bibles wrongly translate the word “idol” to “idle.” The NKJV actually translates the word to “worthless.”

“Revelation 17’s MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH represents a religious system that started in Genesis 11 and this guy is going to be the personification of all of that as he seeks to rule over Israel,” explains Jordan.

“Zechariah 11:17 says, [17] Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

“This verse is talking about something traumatic that happened to him in his life as the Antichrist.

“You have to remember the Antichrist is going to be a Jew. When Jesus said, ‘I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive,’ another who? Another of him. They’re not going to receive anybody as their Messiah who’s not a Jew.

“There’s a debate that goes on among people about whether the Antichrist is going to be Jewish or whether he’s going to be a Gentile posing as a Jew, but Scripture indicates that he’s an Israeli.

“Ezekiel 21:25 is a verse talking about the Antichrist looking prophetically forward. It says, [25] And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end.

“When it says he’s profane, that’s saying he speaks great swelling words of blasphemy against God. Wicked is one of his titles you see in Psalm 10. II Thessalonians 2 uses a capital ‘W,’ meaning a proper name that’s assigned to him in Scripture.

“Notice Ezekiel says he’s having his day. This is the time when the Antichrist gets his comeuppance, when iniquity shall have an end. Has iniquity had an end yet? Daniel 8 talks about when iniquity shall come to the full. It’s going to come to the goal that it has and literally what the Antichrist is going to be is the personification of all the satanic policy of evil right there.

Daniel 11:36-37 is another passage indicating the Antichrist is a Jew: [36] And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
[37] Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

“Who would be ‘the God of his fathers’? Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Jehovah. He’s an Israeli and he’s got the patriarch but doesn’t pay any attention to the heritage he has as a son of Abraham.

“The thing is he’s also ‘the seed of the serpent.’ In Genesis 3:15 you have ‘the seed of the woman’ and ‘the seed of the serpent.’ Just as Jesus Christ’s ‘the seed of the woman,’ Satan has a seed line.

“Those people in John 8 where Jesus says, ‘Ye are of your father the devil,’ physically they are Abraham’s descendants but their spiritual father is Satan. They’re captured by Satan in the vain religious system controlling the nation Israel. Jesus calls those people ‘a generation of vipers,’ a generation of serpents.

“The word ‘generation’ means to generate. You are the seed of something. This is where you came from. The generation he’s talking about is not a time period. He’s talking about the source of something. They’re identity comes from Satan; they are his seed line.

“Another title given to the Antichrist in II Thessalonians 2 is ‘the son of perdition.’ He’s literally the seed of the one for whom perdition exists.

“When God created hell, he created it for Satan and his angels. So the Antichrist is the son; he’s the serpent’s seed line. It’s not a physical seed in the sense that they’re the sons of Abraham physically; this is spiritually.

“When he’s called the Assyrian, that’s the satanic force behind him, but physically he’s a Jew. He’s going to be Dan who’s a serpent in the camp.

“Isaiah 52:3-5 says, [3] For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
[4] For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
[5] Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.

“When they were in Egypt, who was oppressing them? The Egyptians, Pharaoh. But here it says the Assyrian. Is Isaiah just confused and doesn’t know his geography and his history? No. There is a spiritual force behind the kings of this earth.

“In Ezekiel 28, when he describes the Antichrist and Satan, he refers to one as the prince of Tyrus and the other as the king of Tyrus. But the things he describes depict nobody in history in Tyre. That’s because it’s a prophecy about the Antichrist and Satan.

"You ask, ‘Well, why is he called the king of Tyrus?’ Because he’s the god of this world; he’s the prince of this world. He’s the one who is moving behind the scenes in all of these things. And there is a spiritual dynamic, a spiritual character, frankly, that comes through and Revelation 17 says it rules over the kings of the earth and is identified and traced through in Scripture as the Assyrian. That’s Babylon, that’s Genesis 11.

“Zechariah 11:15 says, [15] And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. Notice what he's taking is the instruments. 

"The Antichrist has a bunch of instruments he’s going to use. He doesn’t come on the scene all by himself. He has a whole cadre of companions that are instruments in Satan’s hands to accomplish the satanic program.”
