The Antichrist:
Part 1 of 12 Parts
17 … of
her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:
(ASV)
Revelation 12:17
How does the dragon (Satan) make war on the rest of the seed of the woman?
Through whom does he act?
1 and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads,
and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy. (ASV)
Revelation 13:1
2 Thessalonians 2:2-3
8 And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom
the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by
the manifestation of his coming; 9 even he, whose coming is
according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10
and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them
that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might
be saved. (ASV) [emphasis added]
2 Thessalonians 2:8-10
18 Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye
heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists;
whereby we know that it is the last hour. (ASV)
1 John 2:18
Before Christ returns physically to the Earth, there will arise a counterfeit Christ, the Antichrist (called by God, the beast), through whom Satan will exercise his power.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a
leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of
a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.
(ASV)
Revelation 13:2
What is the significance of these animal characteristics of the beast seen by John, summed up in the power and nature of the Antichrist?
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea,
diverse one from another. 4 The first was like a lion, … . (ASV)
Daniel 7:3-4
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four
kings, that shall arise out of the earth. (ASV)
Daniel 7:17
The characteristics of these four beasts seen by Daniel will be summoned up in toto in the Antichrist. Who are these kings, and the characteristics of their rule?
28 but there is a God in heaven that revealeth
secrets, and he hath made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the
latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:
(ASV)
Daniel 2:28
31 Thou, O king, sawest, and, behold, a great
image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood
before thee; and the aspect thereof was terrible. 32 As for this
image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly
and its thighs of brass, 33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron,
and part of clay. (ASV)
Daniel 2:31-33
As we shall see, the four parts of this image also symbolize these four beasts, with the first beast equal to the head of the image and the successive beasts equal to the other three parts of the image in their order from the head.What is the role Racism, Anarchy, Antifa, The Media, and other social forums play?
In the Next Session: we will look at the behavior we can expect the Antichrist to display.
