Man of Sin, Son of Perdition

Subject: Man of Sin, Son of Perdition
As I state in the book, "The Man of Sin Revealed"
( http://www.GreaterThings.com/books/manofsin.htm )
There are many anti-Christs, both in number and in level. For a Catholic,
it could be the Pope, if they place him as god in their life. For the
political world, it could be someone like Clinton or Gorbachev. For the
secular gadget world, it might be someone like Bill Gates. For the little
child, it could be Barney. For the Mormons, it could be the Prophet, whom
they place in the holy of holies in their heart instead of Christ ("follow
the prophet" instead of "follow Christ" -- though some people place the
President of the Church in his proper role of bringing them to Christ).
Nevertheless, a close and careful reading and analysis of II Thes. 2 and
Isaiah 66 (as expounded in the book) shows that ultimate manifestation of
the perditional "Man of Sin" will be a top leader from within the ranks of
the Mormon Church. They are the only people with temples of God (where
this person will sit). They are essentially the only people on earth who
can produce sons of perdition. The only way a person could attain access
to the temple and have any degree of attention of the people is if there
was agreement on the highest levels of leadership.
We (generally speaking) wanted a man to follow, rather than God. That is
what God has given us.
But he will not allow that man to lead them all the way to hell. Just to
the brink. Then he steps in. Then D&C 85 is fulfilled.
The Church will not overtly support the mark of the beast, for it would be
crossing the line. Rather, there will be a culture of pressure to take
the mark: underhanded comments, unofficial remarks overhead and passed
on. The faithful will find themselves less and less welcome in the Mormon
world. The wheat will be gathered out from the midst of the tares. The
remnant will awake and put on strength.
The deceivers and hypocrites shall be detected and removed out of their
place (D&C 50:4-9; 64:39; 76:30-32; JST-Mark 9:40-48; D&C 90:36).
Like the Mary Magdalene bridal type, the whorish church shall be purified
and made a fit bride for the Lord.
