France’s President Says US And China Back A World Truce — And He Thinks Putin Will ‘Definitely Agree’

• Antichrist: in place of Christ
  The name Antichrist also indicates substitution. Antichrist opposes Jesus in order to supplant Him, to take His place as Christ. Although the English language does not often use the prefix “anti” to mean substitution, it is a common use of the preposition in the Greek language. When Scripture says that Jesus died “for His people,” one of the prepositions used is anti indicating that He died as a substitute for His people. This is the secondary meaning of the preposition anti. Antichrist purposes to be “in the place of,” or “a substitute for” Jesus the Christ.

• France’s President Says US And China Back A World Truce — And He Thinks Putin Will ‘Definitely Agree’
  by Pierre Bairin and Emma Reynolds, CNN, 16 April 2020
  (CNN)French President Emmanuel Macron said he has backing for a world truce during the coronavirus pandemic and is hopeful he can secure Russian President Vladimir Putin’s support.

  Speaking on French radio, Macron said he had secured the agreement of several of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to back a call by the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for a global ceasefire. In a wide-ranging interview with RFI on Tuesday evening, Macron said that China, the US and the UK were on board and he was optimistic about Russia.

  “President Xi Jinping confirmed his agreement to me,” said Macron. “President Trump confirmed his agreement to me. Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed his agreement to me. I think President Putin will definitely agree too.” Macron did not provide more details about his conversations with those world leaders. CNN has contacted the Chinese mission to the UN and the US State Department for comment.

  Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday: “Most likely, work is underway — at the expert level, our diplomats are working on this before we can join it. As soon as this work is completed and [passes] approval with other partners, relevant statements will be made.”
  The UK signed up to the plan two weeks ago in response to the call from Guterres.

  A spokesman for the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office told CNN: “The UK supports the UN Secretary-General’s call for a global ceasefire; the UN’s ability to deliver humanitarian aid is a priority. “The UN Security Council should be united in tackling coronavirus, in light of the risks to stability and the impact on vulnerable populations.”
  –
  Discussions are ongoing regarding a UN Security Council resolution to address the impact on international security of the pandemic. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said he had seen press reports of Macron’s comments but could not confirm them. Dujarric said the UN would “obviously welcome any unified calls” not only from the permanent five members but the whole Security Council.
