I haven't completed my study of the Greek in this passage yet, but is it possible
that the church reveals the anti-christ to the Jewish nation - just as Esther
points out Haman to the King. But back to Greek. I hope that this very
interesting discussion will continue in a Spiritual manner. Thank you Don,
Paul, and others for your help.
