SID: So rabbi, you are even exploring the use of artificial intelligence as part of the Antichrist system. Explain.
MARK: Sure. I think we need to realize it’s not just, I mean Antichrist, but there’s a whole Antichrist system that will be developed to control and manipulate humans. And we even see right now in China, they have a social credit score where like in America you have to have good financial credit to borrow money. Well there they monitor all your social behavior and you can literally be blocked out of having a passport. Over 11 million people in China have already been denied airline tickets, train tickets because they’re all being monitored with hundreds of millions of AI cameras with facial recognition. And there is even a candidate in New York running for president who wants to implement that here. And then we have these breaches where many people want to see if there are Jewish, right? That’s why they do this DNA testing. Well, I have just found out recently that the government is working with the DNA testing site and they’re giving them access to all the DNA. So that when they want to find a suspect, to narrow down who their relatives are.
SID: You talk about, I want concentrate on specific behavior rather than specific names for Antichrist. Explain that.
MARK: Sure. I think the main modus operandi of the Antichrist is going to be what I call legalized lawlessness. And what I mean by that, it’s a pattern. It’s a historical pattern. In Haman with the book of Esther, they felt like, okay, let’s just make it a law to commit genocide and kill all the Jews. That makes it okay. Well what do we have today but legalized abortion, legalized drugs. Legalize, they feel like if they just legalize it, that that will make it okay. And so that’s where the deception is going to come in.
SID: An example of a type of the Antichrist that is the opposite of what most Christians would pick. Rabbi Mark says Solomon is a type of the Antichrist. How’d you come up with that conclusion?
MARK: You know, in Revelation it talks about the numbers and number of a man. Okay? And it says here is wisdom and then it brings out six six six. Do you know the only place in the Bible where wisdom is connected to six six six is King Solomon. It says that’s how much gold came into him every year was 666 talents of gold.
SID: I never thought about that.
MARK: And everything that God commanded the king to do, Solomon did not do. God told the kings, and this is 500 years before Solomon. They’d already gone through Saul and David and it said that the king was not to multiply wives. What did he do? The king was not to marry strange wives. That king was not the multiply silver and gold. That king was not to multiply horses. But you know Solomon was an arms merchant? What would happen today if Netanyahu was selling nuclear material to Iran? That’s what Solomon was doing. The modern day tank was the horse and the chariot. He would go down to Egypt it says, buy the horse and the chariot and then he would sell it to the Hittites. He would be selling it to the enemy. Solomon, most people don’t realize, was the first person to do child sacrifice. He’s the one who initiated child sacrifice by building the idols to Molech. Okay? Milcom and Kamosh, and his wives that he had children with offered those children to Molech.
SID: You know, most of us think of Solomon as just a wise king, but his ending wasn’t too wise.
MARK: No, it wasn’t at all. And when most people think of wisdom, the one thing they think of is he offers to cut the baby in half. Well, we know Israel is God’s son and in the last days, this wise Solomon is going to try to cut the nation of Israel in half, cut the baby in half again.
SID: That’s very interesting. Very briefly, tell me about why you see patterns in the Bible repeating as opposed to, well, it’s already happened, so can we forget that prophecy. Especially in the feasts.
MARK: Yeah, well the thing is this, when it comes to the feasts, we need to understand that they were called convocations. Now in Hebrew the word is miqra, but it implies a dress rehearsal. In other words, every year they would do the rehearsal of killing the Passover lamb on Passover, and they would do it at the time of the evening sacrifice. This is why Yeshua died on Passover at the time of the evening sacrifice. He was buried on Unleavened Bread. He rose on the feast of first fruits. The spirit of God was poured out on Shavuot, Pentecost. Peter said, well, it’s the third hour of the day. These guys can’t be drunk. Well, that’s a time of the morning sacrifice. And so we see the pattern. In Ecclesiastes 1:9 God said there’s nothing new under the sun that which has happened is that what will happen again, and so we need to look at the patterns.
SID: Yeah, you know there’s a view called preterism that’s kind of sweeping Christianity. The book of revelation is already done, but give me that verse again from Ecclesiastes and you listen to this.
MARK: Yeah, Ecclesiastes 1:9. It says that which has happened is that which will happen again. There is nothing new under the sun.
SID: So much for preterism. Look, Rabbi Mark says the Antichrist will not be Muslim and will not be Jewish. When we come back, Mark gives us an unmistakable tip to decoding the Antichrist. Be right back.
