Question: Please confirm.

God’s answer:

Placate
It stroked their ego.
Soften the blow
I was being diplomatic.

Placate means “to allay the anger of, especially by making concessions; appease.” 40 Stroke someone’s ego Fig. to flatter and praise someone.41 It stroked their ego because they thought Jesus was referring to them as the older son (the good son).

V. The Book of Revelations

Question: Is there really an anti-Christ who will come (the dreaded 666)?

God’s answer:

Peace hand sign and a nuclear bomb (nuke)

Make peace not war.

Meaning: Do not foster hatred: According to God, an anti-Christ (past or present) arises from an environment of strife, prejudice and hate. When people harbor deep-seated resentments, an anti-Christ can easily come to power (examples He gave: the cold war., Palestine vs. Israel, China, Hitler, Khomeini).

Love thy neighbor. Do not squabble. The devil feeds on your hatred for one another. This is applicable to all levels - personal, community and global relationships.
