Primary Proof of the Bible: Types (Foreshadowings) of the Antichrist throughout History

ALEXANDER THE GREAT

-he, Jesus as the Lamb, and Satan have two horns (oracle of Zeus Amun...Plutarch states in his biography that the oracle hailed him as the son of the god...Alexander's supposed descent from the deity may help explain the references to the Macedonian conqueror as "The Two-Horned One"...)
-both said to be born of a virgin (according to Plutarch in his in his Parallel Lives of the Noble (!!!) Greeks & Romans)
-both called the "son of God" (according to Plutarch in his Parallel Lives of the Noble (!!!) Greeks & Romans)
-Alexander was taught by Aristotle, the third person of Socrates-Plato (said to be born of a virgin)-Aristotle whom I show to together symbolize the Holy Trinity in whom all wisdom is found: truly was Jesus taught by the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, and truly did it descend upon Him in the form of a dove when He was baptized by John the Baptist (Matt. 3:16)
-"Magi" (same word used in Gospel of Matthew) see an unusual portent (in his case, a temple suddenly being set on fire on the day Alexander was born; in Jesus's case, a strange-looking star) which signals how unusual Alexander & Jesus are
-both conquer much of the world (for Jesus rules people everywhere, and "it is necessary for him to reign until He shall have put all enemies under His feet...all things He [God the Father] put in subjection under His [Jesus'] feet." [1 Corinthians 15:25-27])
-both said to be miraculously handsome (The Messiah, at least when He comes again, is "fairer than the sons of men" [Psalms 45:2])
-both never lose a battle, as is also true of other types of Christ & Antichrist including Cyrus the Great, Scipio the Great, & King David (for God's plans always succeed)
-both said to be uncommonly virtuous men (Montaigne called Alexander one of the three greatest men who ever lived, along with Homer! And in his essay "On Cruelty," he says that the two most perfect souls are Socrates & Cato the Younger! It is most of all Montaigne along with Plutarch who prevented me for two months from seeing that Alexander & Julius Caesar are not types of Christ but rather of the Antichrist), although Alexander had many flaws such as a strong inclination to drunkenness & anger which resulted in violent murderers, even of his own father supposedly, as the Anti-Christ will appear to be a very virtuous man & will thereby seduce people to worship him after Christians vanish from the Earth during the Rapture
-Alexander the Great is often compared to Julius Caesar (for instance by Plutarch in his Parallel Lives of the Noble (!!!) Greeks & Romans), another person whom God made to be a symbol of the Anti-Christ
-as Jesus has most commonly been thought to have died at age 33 in AD 33 (although this is most likely false, as is the theory that he died on Good Friday & that he was born on December 25th, although many of the types of the Antichrist like Lincoln are associated with Good Friday, December 25th, & the number 33, probably to show that they are not the true Christ), so did Alexander die at age 33 in 323 BC.

Alexander the Great

-BRIEFER VERSION:

-both said to be born of a virgin
-both called the "son of God"
-Magi see a supernatural portent (in his case, a temple being set on fire) which signals how unusual Alexander & Jesus are
-both conquer much of the world (for Jesus rules people everywhere)
-both said to be miraculously handsome (The Messiah is "fairer than the sons of men" [Psalms 45:2))
-both never lose a battle (for God's plans always succeed)
-both are among the most virtuous men who ever lived (according to Montaigne)
-as Jesus died at age 33 in AD 33, so did Alexander die at age 33 in 323 BC!

-EXTENDED VERSION:

Alexander the Great conquered the second largest empire in the time before Jesus’ birth, the largest being the empire of Cyrus the Great and the third largest being the Roman Empire which was ruled by Julius Caesar and then Caesar Augustus.11  As these men reigned over much of the Earth, so does and will Jesus reign over the whole Earth, although His reign is more hidden now!  In fact, in Daniel 7, five successive kingdoms are all mentioned consecutively, as if they all resembled one another: the Babylonian Empire under Nebuchadnezzar, the Persian Empire under Cyrus the Great, the Empire of Alexander the Great, the Roman Empire of Caesar, and the final empire of the “Son of man.”  As I show elsewhere in this essay, Cyrus the Great and Julius Caesar were undoubtedly made by God to highly resemble Christ.  This fact suggests that Alexander the Great too was made by God to highly resemble Christ, as he too was the ruler of one of the three largest ancient empires. (Nebuchadnezzar’s empire was apparently merely the 18th largest ancient empire,12 as is fitting, for he probably resembles Christ much less than the 3 others)

Alexander, Cyrus (in Herodotus’s History I.204), and Jesus are said to have never lost a battle, for “many designs are in a man’s mind, but it is the LORD’s plan that is accomplished.” (Proverbs 19:21) In other words, Jesus the Lord succeeds in whatever He plans.  Similarly, it is said of King David that “the LORD gave David victory wherever he went.” (2 Samuel 8:6) This is not true of many people in history!  Therefore, Alexander was made to resemble Christ just as Cyrus and David were. 

According to five historians of antiquity (Arrian, Curtius, Diodorus, Justin, and Plutarch), after his visit to the Oracle of Ammon at Siwa, rumors spread that the Oracle had revealed Alexander's father to be Zeus, rather than Philip. In support of this, Plutarch (Alexander 3.1,3) claims that Philip avoided Olympias' bed because of her affinity for sleeping in the company of snakes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_the_Great#In_ancient_and_modern_culture
TRULY WAS JESUS BORN OF A VIRGIN!

While in Egypt, Alexander also made the dangerous journey across the desert to the shrine of Zeus Ammon. It is said that he was guided by ravens and blessed with rain. Upon his arrival, the priest apparently told him he was the son of Zeus. TRULY IS JESUS THE SON OF GOD.

,13 Alexander was born the sixth of Hecatombaeon [7], which month the Macedonians call Lous, the same day that the temple of Artemis of Ephesus was burnt [8]; which Hegesias of Magnesia makes the occasion of a conceit, frigid enough to have stopped the conflagration. The temple, he says, took fire and was burnt while its mistress was absent, assisting at the birth of Alexander. And all of the Magi (twn magwn, the genitive plural form of oi magoi) who happened to be then at Ephesus, looking upon the ruin of this temple to be the forerunner of some other calamity, ran about the town, beating their faces, and crying that this day had brought forth something that would prove fatal and destructive to all Asia.

When Jesus is born, several Magi (magoi, another form of the same Greek word used in the passage above by Plutarch!) see a star in the East (Matt. 2:1-2), which is as extraordinary a sign of Jesus’s identity as the fire in the temple is of Alexander’s!  Truly did Magi come to worship Jesus after seeing an extraordinary sign in the skies!

Alexander was taught by Aristotle, who apparently is a symbol of one of three persons of the Trinity along with Socrates and Plato, as I mention towards the end of my discussion of Socrates.  Similarly, Jesus was instructed by God the Father about what to say and do (John 14:10), and has hidden in him “all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3), for Aristotle was extremely knowledgeable about many subjects!

Alexander the Great apparently was extremely unique insofar as he possessed many different and somewhat rare virtues, as Jesus possessed all virtues.  Even today, many of Alexander’s virtues are unfortunately not very widespread.  I base this characterization of Alexander largely on the following quotation from Montaigne’s Essays, Book 2, Ch. 36: “Of the most excellent men,”14in which essay he characterizes the people he judges to be the THREE GREATESTMEN he has ever known: Homer, Alexander the Great, and Epaminondas. (On the other hand, in “On Cruelty” in Book 2, Ch. 11, he calls SOCRATES & Cato the Younger the two “most perfect” souls he has ever known.)  This quotation from Montaigne, perhaps the most famous essayist of all time, is trustworthy, for Montaigne met and closely analyzed many people whom he met in person and in books.  It is clear that he carefully read many books, especially historical ones such as Plutarch’s Lives in which Alexander is written about, for there are usually several quotations from classical authors on nearly every page of the hundreds of pages he wrote:

"[There were] so many excellent virtues as he [Alexander] was master of: justice, temperance, liberality, truth in his word, love towards his own people, and humanity towards those he overcame; for his manners, in general, seem in truth incapable of any manner of reproach, although some particular and extraordinary actions of his may fall under censure...As to Clytus, the fault was more than redeemed; and that very action, as much as any other whatever, manifests the goodness of his nature, a nature most excellently formed to goodness...And who will consider withal his so many military virtues, his diligence, foresight, patience, discipline, subtlety, magnanimity, resolution, and good fortune, wherein (though we had not had the authority of Hannibal to assure us) he was the first of men, the admirable beauty and symmetry of his person, even to a miracle, his majestic port and awful mien, in a face so young, ruddy, and radiant [Jesus the Messiah King is called “fairer [in beauty] than the children of men” (Psalm 45:2)]...the excellence of his knowledge and capacity; the duration and grandeur of his glory, pure, clean, without spot or envy, and that long after his death it was a religious belief that his very medals brought good fortune to all who carried them about them; and that more kings and princes have written his actions than other historians have written the actions of any other king or prince whatever [as Jesus is probably the most famous and written about person in the world!  And has anyone not heard of Alexander the Great?!]; and that to this very day the Mohammedans, who despise all other histories, admit of and honour his alone, by a special privilege: whoever, I say, will seriously consider these particulars, will confess that, all these things put together, I had reason to prefer him before CAESAR himself, who alone could make me doubtful in my choice [of who the three greatest men are]....They were in many things equal, and peradventure CAESAR had some greater qualities they were two fires, or two torrents, overrunning the world by several ways."

It is of the utmost interest that both Montaigne and Plutarch notice that Alexander and Caesar are “in many things equal.”  In Plutarch’s Parallel Lives, Plutarch almost always pairs a biography about a famous Greek with a biography about a famous Roman whom that Greek resembles perhaps more than any other Greek, and Plutarch chose to pair Alexander with Caesar!  This is very interesting because, as I will soon show, very many of the circumstances of Julius Caesar’s life were undoubtedly planned by God to resemble many of the circumstances of the life of Jesus Christ [PLEASE CONSIDER THAT SECTION CAREFULLY]; therefore, if Alexander the Great is very similar to Julius Caesar, it is very likely that God planned the circumstances of Alexander’s life too to resemble those of Jesus’! ONE EXTRAORDINARY SIMILARITY IS THAT BOTH OF THEIR DEATHS WERE ACCOMPANIED BY A DARKENING OF THE SUN DURING DAYTIME. TRULY WAS JESUS'S AS WELL!

Both Jesus and Alexander were supposed to have died when they were 33 years old!  For Jesus is said to be “about thirty years old” when He begins His earthly ministry (Luke 3:23), and the parable of the fig tree teaches that Jesus ministered for about “three years” (Lk. 13:7); for that is how many years the “vinedresser” (ampelourgon) is said to work for in that parable, and Jesus did “work” (ergon) on the people of Israel, who are characterized in the Bible as God’s “vineyard” (ampelona). (e.g. Isaiah 5) Here is another argument that Jesus was 33 when His human nature died:15

We do not know for sure the exact age of Jesus when He was crucified, but He was probably 33 years old. Here is the argument. Jesus was baptized. But the reason He was baptized was to "fulfill all righteousness," (Matt. 3:15). He had to fulfill the legal requirements for entering into the priesthood after the order of Melchizedek (Psalm 110:4; Heb. 5:8-10; 6:20). Priests offered sacrifice to God on behalf of the people. Jesus became a sacrifice for our sin (1 Pet. 2:24; 2 Cor. 5:21) in His role as priest. To be consecrated as a priest, Jesus had to be: 1) washed with water - baptism - (Lev. 8:6; Exodus 29:4, Matt. 3:16). 2) Anointed with oil - the Holy Spirit - (Lev. 8:12; Exodus 29:7; Matt. 3:16). Additionally, He may have needed to be 30 years old, Num. 4:3, "from thirty years and upward, even to fifty years old, all who enter the service to do the work in the tent of meeting." Therefore we can conclude that Jesus began His earthly ministry at the age of 30. Since it went on for 3 1/2 years [suggested by Lk. 4:25, where Jesus compares His ministry to Elijah’s] before Jesus was crucified, it is safe to say that He was 33 at the time of His death.

It is extremely interesting that apparently the only place in the Bible where an age for Jesus is provided (i.e. “about 30 years old") which allows us to calculate that he died at age 33 is given is in Lk. 3:23, while Alexander the Great died in 323 BC!!! (Is this number a symbol of the fact that Jesus is the 2nd of the 3 persons of the Trinity, and that Alexander is symbolic of Him?!)  This is not coincidental, because it is based on this year and on that verse that we are able to determine that Jesus & Alexander died at the same age.  And, God has specifically chosen other verse numbers to express certain truths.  For instance, Gen. 3:15 gives the first prophecy of Jesus’ death in the whole Bible when it says that the Serpent Satan will “bruise the heel” of Jesus, as Achilles died by being “pierced” in the heel; this verse number is clearly symbolic, for there are truly 3 persons including Jesus with 1 Divine Nature, and because Julius Caesar was “pierced” to death on 3/15/44.  Another example of a symbolic verse number is Job 33:23, the only place in Job where Jesus is mentioned explicitly as the “redeemer” other than in Job 19:25.  Notice how similar 3:23 is to 33:23!!!  In that passage of Job, it is said that before Jesus came, God “oftentimes” (33:29) sent dreams to people in which the dreamer, when he is about to die in the dream, discovers:

 “If there be a messenger [Jesus is called the “messenger of the covenant” in Malachi 3:1-2] with him [the dreamer], an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness [compare with Romans 5, where it is said that man is “justified” or “declared just” by God if he has faith in Jesus]: then he [God] is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a RANSOM.” [Jesus is said to “redeem” or “pay the ransom.” e.g. Lk. 24:21: “We were hoping that He was going to be the one to redeem Israel!”]

Similarly, God apparently gave Constantine the vision to declare Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire in AD 313 in order to show that there are truly 3 persons including Jesus Christ with 1 Divine Nature; and apparently had Caesar Augustus, who was called the “son of God” since he was the son of Julius Caesar who was called a god, become sole dictator of the Roman Empire in 31 BC for the same reason!  Also, God apparently had Julius Caesar die in 44 BC both to hide the fact that he was made as a symbol of Jesus (as I will discuss at length soon) and to show it, since Jesus is commonly believed to have died in 33 AD. (For John the Baptist began his ministry in about 29 AD, the “fifteenth year of the rule of Emperor Tiberius” [Lk. 3:1], and Jesus came to him soon afterwards [Lk. 3:21] and then ministered for about 3 ½ years before dying.)
