Eyes On Macron

This is the man who has risen to greater power in France than any politician since the 1960s - and in faster time, no less.  The man who is of Roman descent and a literal prince in the first or second most powerful country in the European Union.  The man elected with 66.06% of the vote and assuming office on Israel's 69th birthday who has gone on to call himself "Jupiter" in homage to the highest pagan god in the Roman and Greek pantheons.  He turns 40 this year exactly 40 days after the 77,777th day since the brutal dictator Napoleon was coronated Emperor of France.  Who is this man?

He gives hope to the globalists and is the new "golden boy" in the European Union.  He has declared support for a federal Europe, a European army, and the Two-State Solution to divide Israel.

Recent comments by the man himself and his administration comparing him to the Roman god Jupiter are particularly noteworthy and here is why:

He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these. A god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts.

- Daniel 11:38

A description of the future antichrist foreshadowed by Antiochus IV Epiphanes and long considered a mystery, the man of lawlessness is said to honor the "god of fortresses".  I've heard countless internet theories presented about the meaning and identity of this false god, but a search through a number of actual scholarly commentaries came up with the common thread:

The title "god of fortresses" belongs to none other than the Roman god Jupiter whose Greek equivalent is Zeus.  The Benson, Cambridge, Pulpit, and Jamieson-Fausset-Brown commentaries are all in agreement (source).

Two forerunners of the antichrist, Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the Roman Emperor Hadrian, erected statues of Jupiter that foreshadowed the future Abomination of Desolation.  Epiphanes erected a statue of Jupiter within the Temple and Hadrian had a statue of Jupiter placed on the Temple Mount.  Remember that these were only types and shadows whereas the final fulfillment is yet to come.

Now we see a man who has arisen to highest prominence in Europe in the very year of The Great Sign and Israel's 70th biblical birthday and he satirically calls himself Jupiter.

I have to remind myself and our readers that the antichrist will not be fully revealed until the Restrainer is removed according to 2 Thessalonians 2.  In other words, until the Holy Spirit-indwelt Church is out of here, the man of lawlessness will remain largely unknown.  Could Macron be the man?  It's possible, but we can only speculate.  One thing that does catch my attention though is the word Restrainer.  A restrainer is someone or something that restrains, confines, or holds back something else.

Emmanuel Macron's final political restrainer was one Marine Le Pen who was the last vestige of a nationalist Europe.  Le Pen is French for pen, which is an enclosure for animals.  It keeps the bad animals either in or out depending on what kind of animals you're housing.  As a verb it means to restrain someone or something.


Noun:

1. Any small enclosure in which someone or something can be confined.
2. A place to confine a person; a prison cell.

Verb:

Confine someone in a restricted space.

Marine Le Pen is not the Restrainer spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2, but perhaps her election loss is a shadow of things soon to come.
