ANTICHRIST
Much has been written
about the identity of the Antichrist ranging from Nero to
Henry Kissinger, the Pope
and even our President. But the Bible
says we will not know his name
until he sets up his image
in the Temple
THE STORY in 60
seconds
- The deception of
Satan can be traced from the Garden of Eden and will continue to the end.
- Satan; aka the Dragon enters into a
man and he becomes his false
prophet – The Anti-spirit.
- Satan enters into
another man and he become the
Antichrist
- Satan sees himself as
God – he now has a trinity
– This will fool many, he is like God.
- The Antichrist is
shot in the head and appears dead – is resurrected – similar to Christ
- Many think he is the
Messiah and follow and worship him.
Satan is ecstatic.
- Jesus comes back and
raptures the believing church – It happens faster than you can blink.
- Great confusion
exists – Satan, the fallen angels, demons and the wicked are all that’s
left.
- This is the first
part of Christ’s second coming – Some get saved because of this
event.
- God
seals and marks 144,000 Jews to preach the gospel of salvation one more
time
- All creation sees
God’s
love for His creation and they are a witness to his patience.
- Seven
years of tribulation begins – The Antichrist makes a peace treaty with
- Wars, famine,
pestilence, boils, sickness, hail, earthquakes & natural disasters are
prevalent.
- The
Antichrist seals his followers with a mark on their forehead like God did
the 144,000.
- They can now buy food
and sell stuff - They worship the Antichrist as the Messiah.
- They are doomed forever
– this is the unpardonable sin. They cannot change their mind.
- Some do not take the
mark, many are killed. Heaven takes
note – The angels ponder it.
- Antichrist breaks the
Peace agreement with
- Antichrist stops the
sacrifices in the
- Antichrist sets up an
image of Satan in the temple – it can talk – it is worshiped.
- There is war in
heaven. Michael, God’s
- Satan and one third
of the angels are thrown out of heaven.
- God
sends two witnesses to preach one more time – They do miracles –
many are saved
- The two witnesses
might be Elijah and Enoch, both previously raptured and translated.
- They preach the
Gospel for the last 3 ½ years of the tribulation
- They are
supernaturally protected during their mission
- They perform great
miracles; call down fire from Heaven, and cause droughts
- When their mission is
complete, God allows the Antichrist to
kill them
- They lie in the
streets for 3 ½ days – It’s televised by satellite.
- The Heavens thunder -
The Two Witnesses are resurrected and raptured or translated
- The process is slow
enough for everybody on earth to see it via satellite.
- A great earthquake
hits - A tenth of
- Seven Thousand men

- The Millennium
preamble
– War of Gog and Magog. the
millennium reign
- During the entire
tribulation period, one half of the world’s population is killed.
- Birds are summoned to
eat the dead. - It takes seven months to bury the dead remains.
- The Antichrist and the false
prophet are thrown into the lake of fire.
A Falling Away
- The word Antichrist
is found only in four scriptures, but the idea is conveyed throughout.
- Prophecy says before
the Antichrist can come, the church will start falling away from the doctrines of Christ, then the
remaining true church will be raptured and with it, the Holy Spirit
which is the restraining force against the Antichrist; then about 3 1/2
years into the tribulation period, the antichrist is finally revealed.
- The falling away has
already started with the New Age Movement proclaiming the heresy that all
the religious “spokes in a wheel”
lead to the same hub; the same god.
2 Thess 2:3 – A falling away first
3 Let no man deceive you
by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away
first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2 Thess 2:1-3 – The Rapture next
1 Concerning the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him,…,
3 Don't let anyone deceive
you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs
and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.
The Rapture - The Tribulation – Jacobs
Trouble
- The Antichrist
although active, cannot come on the scene in power until the
restraining force is removed which is the Holy Spirit in the Church, and that happens at the rapture.
- The
timeline
for the antichrist is during the 7 years of tribulation, especially the
last 3 ½ years known as Jacob’s Trouble.
- Many facets of the
tribulation began long before the rapture, by as much as 30 years, such as
the birth of the Antichrist and False Prophet. So in essence you could say that the
rapture and tribulation “sort of” overlap each other.
- The
Antichrist
will already be on the scene before the rapture as a peaceful
conqueror and helps establish the United States of Europe which we
call the Revived Roman Empire. He is not a world leader as of yet and
by all outwardly appearances, seems to be a good guy.
- Isaiah warned the
Jews that the agreement would be an agreement with death.
- The last 3 ½ years are know as the “Great Tribulations” - “Jacobs Trouble”
2 Thess 2:6-7 –The restraining force-the Holy Spirit
6 And now you know what is
holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.
7 The secret power of
lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back
will continue till he is taken out of the way.
Homosexual
- The Antichrist has no
normal desires for a woman, sex or marriage and is quite possibly a
homosexual. He probably promotes
homosexuality since God hates it.
But it could also be a slam against women, specifically the mother
of Jesus whose God is Jehovah.
Dan 11:37 – He will
not desire a woman
37 Neither shall he regard
the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for
he shall magnify himself above all.
He’s a man
- NOTE: The
beast is not an animal, but is a symbol of his animal-like appetites
and powers.
- The sea in this scripture is symbolic
of the sea of humanity, the Gentile nations in ciaos.
- The beast or Antichrist is a natural man; he will quietly rise
and becomes a ruler of one nation and eventually becomes the political world dictator. He is a
Gentile. He may already be born.
His time line most probably starts before the rapture.
- The seven heads are symbolic of seven
Kingdoms he rules.
- The ten horns are symbolic of 10
kingdoms, some yet to be formed that he will eventually rule. He will subdue and conquer three of the
ten.
- The ten crowns indicate his
governmental authority over the ten kingdoms.
- The blasphemous names on the crowns of
the puppet leaders of the Antichrist’s kingdoms are overt indicators of
their open opposition to God and Jesus Christ.
- The scriptures say
that those who are not “for God” are against God; they are antichrist,
and Satan “The” Antichrist,
will use these people for his own end.
- He will not just oppose
Christ; he will rival Christ. He is
not a beast, creature or a spirit, but a man who will raise himself up to
receive the Honor due of the Son of God.
1 John 2:18 – The last
times – The time of the Antichrist
18 Little children, it is
the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are
there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
KJV
1 John 2:22 – An antichrist
will deny Christ
22 Who is a liar but he
that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denies the Father
and the Son. KJV
2 John 1:7 – One who deceives is an antichrist
7 Many deceivers entered
into the world, who confess NOT that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is
a deceiver and an antichrist.
KJV
1 John 4:3 –Non-believers have the spirit of the Antichrist
3 Every spirit that
confesses NOT that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: this is that spirit of antichrist,
whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the
world.
2 Thess 2:4 – He will be revealed sitting in the temple
4 Who opposes and exalts
himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as
God sits in the temple of God
His Origin
- The Antichrist will
come from the European Union or a country or confederation that was once
part of the
- We first see a man,
the antichrist as he emerges out of the “sea of humanity” but emerging
quietly and politically among political powers and kings till he himself
is made a king
- The Antichrist has a
three point plan; 1) a New World Order, 2) a One
World Currency, 3) and a One World
Religion which is happening now, watch for and understand these signs.
- He is mortally
wounded in the head and with deception comes back to life. This action authenticates his deity to
the world, counterfeiting the resurrection of Christ.
- A Gentile connected
to the tribe of Dan might
possibly be the source of the Antichrist since it’s tribe is missing in
the line up in Revelation 7:4-10 and thus was substituted.
Gen 49:17 – Possibly a descendent of the tribe of Dan
17 Dan will be a
serpent by the roadside, a viper along the path that bites the
horse's heels so that its rider tumbles backward. NIV
Rev 13:1 – He rises out of
the sea of humanity
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast
rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his
horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. KJV
2… and the dragon gave him his power, and his
seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded
to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world
wondered after the beast. KJV
The
Satanic Trinity
Satan also know as The Dragon -Father
Antichrist also known as The Beast out of the Sea -Son

Names
- The Antichrist is
referred to in scripture as “The little horn” – “The Willful King” – The
Man of Sin” – “The Son of perdition” – The Wicked One” – “The Beast” -
And of course he is
identified by the number “666”.
- It is noteworthy that
the Antichrist comes at the sixth seal,
the sixth vile/bowl and the sixth trump of the Revelation.
- God’s number is 7 which is symbolic of
completeness. - 777 is God magnified
to the most perfect. (For a study in biblical numbers, get the book “Theomatics” )
- Falling short of seven is sinful
man’s number of 6. The
Antichrist’s name is 666, the
most sinful and most evil
number, magnified to its height.
Dan 7:8 – The Little Horn
8 "While I was thinking about the horns,
there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among
them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes
like the eyes of a man and a mouth that spoke boastfully. NIV
Dan 11:36 – The willful
King
36 And the king shall do according to his
will; KJV
2 Thess 2:3 – Man of sin -
The son of perdition
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that
day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of
sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
KJV
Rev 11:7 – The beast
7 And when they shall have finished their
testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make
war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. KJV
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding
calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number
is 666. NKJV
Energized by Satan
- When the antichrist
comes on the scene, he is immediately energized by the power of Satan and
will do everything according to his own selfish will
- He will not regard
the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
- The Antichrist is a
“mortal man” that is totally consumed by Satan.
Rev 13:2 – Satan gives
power and great authority
2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had
feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon

exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things
against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is
completed, for what has been determined must take place. NIV
11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an
eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.
12 "The ten horns you saw are ten kings who
have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority
as kings along with the beast. NIV
Dan 11:43 – Commercial genius
43 He will gain control of the treasures of
gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt
Rev 13:16-17 – Marketing
genius
16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich
and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his
forehead,
17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he
had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. NIV
Military and Religious
- He will be a military
genius with great authority and power as well as a religious genius
setting himself up as a god and most of the worlds unsaved will worship
him
- He starts the One World Religion with the Antichrist’s prophet as its
leader.
- The Antichrist, like
Satan, desires to be worshiped
and wants to be like god.

Rev 17:12-13 The Western
Block Kings will give him authority

horns and seven crowns on his heads.

sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman
who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the
moment it was born.
5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will
rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God
and to his throne.

prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. (3 ½ years)

miracles and wonders

and then sets an image of himself up to be worshiped in the Temple.

cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. NKJV
False World Religion
- As crazy as this
sounds; The Antichrist hates the “prostitute”; the powerful world church and wants it gone so he alone can be
worshiped. He wants all the glory
and worship for himself, so that he can rule without any outside
influence. - He will exalt himself as God
- God will send a
strong delusion to “the unbeliever” so that they will believe his lies.
- He with the “Federation
of Nations of Europe” will destroy the World Church of Rome.

destroys the “Religious Babylon”. But

fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt
himself above them all. NIV

allows the unbeliever to believe the lie

LORD!

Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I
will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.

lake of fire along with the false prophet.

a great multitude in heaven shouting: "Hallelujah!

condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He
has avenged on her the blood of his servants." NIV

of burning sulfur. NIV
THE
BEGINNING AND
THE END
At the beginning of the Tribulation period,
The Antichrist, impersonating Christ comes riding in on a
white horse.
In contrast, at the end of the tribulation period,
the rider on the white
horse is our faithful and true Savior, Jesus the Christ, riding triumphantly with His army, the OT saints,
the raptured Church and the angels.
12 His eyes are like
blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him
that no one knows but He himself.
13 He is dressed in a robe
dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
Closing Thoughts
- Many political foes
have referred to their opponent as the Antichrist; we still do that today, so their writing
are “taken with a grain of salt” and are not considered serious.
- Antichristos – Against or instead
of Christ – An enemy of Christ – One who usurps Christ’s name, authority
and rights. – There are many “little” antichrists
– But only one Antichrist.
- Definition;
A man who denies that Jesus is the Christ – Denies the Father
and the Son. This is the rejection
of Christ with heretical teachings and views concerning His person.
- Scripture infers that
the Antichrist will be a
Gentile coming politically
and his false prophet will be a Jew
coming theologically.
- The followers were
well aware of the teaching that all the forces of opposition to Christ
would finally come together and center in one man called the Antichrist.
- Paul taught that the Antichrist will oppose God
and actually exalt himself above God and sit in the temple and claim to be
God. – He will perform great signs and wonders deceiving all those who have
rejected God’s Son.
- Christ warned that
there would be false Christ’s and false prophets that would
come, who would try to deceive even the elect; the believer, if that
were possible.
- The Thessalonians were under the
erroneous impression that “The Day of the Lord” was
- 1) A falling away from
the Church, and 2) the revealing
of the identity of the “Lawless One”; the Antichrist.
- The Day
of the Lord
is not the Sabbath, but it’s when God will destroy the works of Satan and
redeem mankind.
- Paul taught that that
the “Secret Power of Lawlessness” was already at work in the world.
- He was re-directing
there attention away from “the last days” to what was going on now in the
church. He was pointing to those
“little” antichrists that
already exist whose temper, attitude and characteristics were
subverting the Gospel – They were in essence doing the work of the Antichrist with doctrinal
error.
- Paul did not see the
world as one day evolving into a more perfect state, but rather evolving
into more and more of an evil state until finally, “The Day of the Lord”
would right it all.
- We should not be too concerned
about the end of time, but about false teachers creeping into our lives TODAY
teaching “inclusion of
- That taking parts of
worship from
- Using deceitful terms
such as “Gay Pride” and
“Alternate Lifestyle”
for living a life that is an abomination to God. - Terms like “Pro Choice” for murdering
babies - According to God, a doctor that performs abortions is a MASS MURDERER.
- It’s going to be “Hell to pay” for those who call evil good and good
evil.
- Relationship - The Antichrist will be to Satan what Jesus
is to God. The Antichrist’s power
will come from Satan just as Jesus’ power comes from God and the
Antichrist’s supporting False Prophet will fulfill the role of the
supporting Holy Spirit culminating with their Un-holy trinity.
- Satan
is furious, Satan, the Antichrist
and the False Prophet know that their time is short and are “mad as hell”.
- Paul teaches that in
the finality of things; God will destroy the Antichrist and the little antichrists with just the breath of His mouth.
