that they are a God-ordained instrument who, with Islam as an ally, that they're in the world to overcome the evil as he sees it, that is the West and the Jews, etc., etc.

So that's where the idea comes from.

Well...

Just my opinion, I guess, is that, you know, a lot of Christians just really don't know what the scripture says, quite honestly.

A lot of people don't take the time to study it.

A lot of people regurgitate theology.

And theology, and I say this respectfully, is not equivalent to the truth.

Theology is the study of God, but that's always subjected to a man's opinion.

And in this particular case, Dugan is interpreting what Paul said about the restrainer and applying it to Russia in this case.

So I think that's how it happens.

It's generally...

A lot of people just really don't know what the scripture has to say.

They know what people say it says, but they don't take the time to read it.

So, I mean, there's probably a lot of other reasons.

And people have their eyes on all the wrong things at this point in time, including Christians.

So that's just my thoughts.

In other words, that there's going to be a Jewish Antichrist?

No, I don't.

Well, I mean, there are people who believe that, but no, I don't see that in Scripture at all.

In fact, all the patterns that we see in Scripture seem to say that the Antichrist is going to come from the East.
