Are We Closer Than We Think? The Beginning of Sorrows, the Man of Sin

Описание: In this KJV Bible study, we explore what Jesus called the “beginning of sorrows” in Matthew 24 and examine what Scripture says about the Antichrist, the man of sin, and the spirit of antichrist already at work. This is a calm, Scripture-centered study focused on discernment — not fear.
I’m not a Bible expert, pastor, or theologian. I’m just a woman who reads her Bible slowly and asks questions. What I’m sharing here are personal observations from reading Scripture, not dogmatic claims. This topic is controversial, and sincere Christians land in different places — so this study is about searching the Scriptures together with humility.
In this teaching, we walk through
key passages using the KJV, including Matthew 24, Daniel 7–9, Daniel 8, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Revelation 13. We look at the profile of the Antichrist (man of sin), how he does not appear in a vacuum, how he rises to power, and the difference between the spirit of antichrist already at work and the future physical Antichrist.
We also discuss the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, the role of the temple, and whether a physical temple must be rebuilt. We examine why Jesus pointed to this event as future, and what it means to “stand in the holy place.” This study includes a simple overview of Daniel’s 70 weeks, the 70th week, and whether the world could be approaching that time based on current events.
This Bible study is for believers who want to understand end-times prophecy without sensationalism — rooted in Scripture, watchfulness, and spiritual discernment. The goal is not speculation, but readiness, faithfulness, and staying anchored in the Word of God.
