The Antichrist:
Part 12 of 12 Parts
It
is at the time of sounding of the fifth trumpet (seventh seal) that Satan,
having been just cast out of heaven and given the key to the pit of the abyss,
descends to the pit (Sheol and Tartarus) and releases not only the imprisoned
demonic beings but also the soul of Nero. Therefore, it will be at that time
that the Antichrist's body is reanimated.
Since
the Antichrist will be an intentional counterfeit by Satan of Christ, we should
expect many more major similarities between the events of his life and those of
the life of Christ. A great earthquake occurred at the time of the death of
Christ. For this reason, I am certain that the Antichrist will suffer his
physical death at the time of the great earthquake of the sixth seal and also
that there will elapse three days (as with Christ) between this earthquake and
the fifth trumpet of the seventh seal (when the Antichrist's body is
reanimated), as a further counterfeit detail of Christ's death and
Resurrection.
12 … And he maketh the earth and them that dwell
therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed. (ASV)
Revelation 13:12
14 … saying to them that dwell on the earth, that
they should make an image to the beast who hath the stroke of the sword and
lived. (ASV)
Revelation 13:14

Revelation 13:15
And
he had power to give life to the image of the beast, that the image of the
beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image
of the beast should be killed.
4 Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not; … (ASV)
Psalms 115:4-5
The
Antichrist will have an image of himself in the temple at Jerusalem and require
people to worship it. This image will be the first talking idol in the world
and will be identical in outward appearance to the body of the Antichrist. It
will also express his wishes verbal indicating that it will also be capable of
making decisions. Most likely this image of a beast will be the world's first
android, but it is not clear that it will have mobility.
16 And he causeth all, the small and the great,
and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them
a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; 17 and that no
man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name
of the beast or the number of his name. (ASV)
Revelation 13:16-17
Under the Antichrist, people
will not be able to buy or sell unless they have either the name of Nero or the
number 666 on their forehead (probably the men) or on their hand (probably the
women). If you do not have such a mark, you will be imprisoned until either you
agree to accept his mark or until you are killed.
How
will the Antichrist be able to thoroughly control the economy in Europe? Credit
cards with built in micro processing chips will soon be tested in Europe. Retailers,
bankers, and institutions like hospitals and libraries are interested in the
plastic, wallet sized cards, which could be used to store personal records and
instantly transfer money in and out of bank accounts.
