(The Rephaim, a tribal term for some of the giants, is also a term often translated "death."**°) What makes this famous prophecy especially suggestive for our exploration here is the strange allusion in verse 43: "And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with yw AA Ay Switching to a personal pronoun, they "shall mingle them-selves with the seed of men. . . ." This is extremely suggestive when viewed in the light of the warning of our Lord heading this chapter, ostensibly directing us to look more closely at Genesis 6. Just what (or who) are "mingling with the seed of men?" Who are these Non-seed?

This is widely misunderstood as it would focus on the idea that he is "against Christ," which he, indeed, will be. However, the Greek term antichrist really means "pseudo-Christ" or "in place of" Christ. He will be an impostor, posing as Christ. History is littered with speculations as to the identity of this final Coming World Leader. There are numerous justifications to assume he will be a Gentile. There are also many reasons to view him as Jewish. Others have suggested that he will be Judas Iscariot resurrected from the dead. Some have even promoted President John Kennedy or Henry Kissinger. Surprisingly, a number of prominent Bible teachers—Hal Lindsey and Dave Hunt as examples—have publicly stated their view is that this leader will either be an alien or he will boast of alien connections!
