Revelations 13:1-2, “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. 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 seat, and great authority.”
The book of Revelations reveals Satans last great deception to deceive mankind into the practice of false god worship, in exalting himself as the one true God. The Antichrist is the Devils main person of interest in his unholy trinity (with Satan as God, the Antichrist as Jesus, and the False Prophet as the Holy Spirit.)
The Antichrist unlike many teachings about him, will not be a religious figure but more of a charismatic political leader, who will have great influence in the world we know today. Once arriving on the world stage the devil incarate will first appear as a peace keeper but will morph into something entirely different from what he first appeared. Revelations 13 speaks of the Antichrist appearing, “upon the sand of the sea,” (sea representing people) and having seven heads and ten horns ( representing the seven empires that have persecuted Israel in the past, with the “ten horns” actually meaning the seventh head; the “ten horns” representing ten nations yet to come.)
The crowns spoken of here, as being crowned means that these nations have come to power and will use their political means to aid the Antichrist, these nations will be located in the Middle East, parts of Europe, and North Africa, all being part of the old Roman Empire territory (Daniel 7:7-8.) The book of Daniel gives us insight upon His arrival as a world power in Daniel 11:36-37, “And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 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.”
Much like Lucifer did who became prideful upon his position in Heaven made the attempt to direct the worship towards himself and instead of God, Ezekiel 28. In just being cast out Ezekiel 28:17-18. The Antichrist will be a extreme Humanist (glorification of self) who will glorify himself overall, regarding no Religion or even the need for women, which is why I believe the Homosexual agenda is being pushed so hard in the world today, with it being a sign of the coming false Christ.
The Antichrist will turn his wrath towards Israel and the nations of the world demanding servitude and obedience unto his ungodly will. Luckily for the Church we will not see the Antichrist come into power as according to 2 Thessalonians 2:7-9, “For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders. The “One who holds back,” the power lawless one (Antichrist) is the Church which will be “taken away,” or raptured up. The Antichrist will be empowered by Satan having lying signs and wonders but the forces of darkness will not prevail, as stated in 2 Thessalonins 8 saying, “WHOM THE LORD WILL CONSUME WITH THE SPIRIT OF HIS MOUTH, AND SHALL DESTROY WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING. It is important to know that all false doctrine, false worship (celebrities) and Humanist promotion of self is all one and the same promoting the Antichrist spirit coming into the world. Every Christian needs to spread the Truth of the Gospel which is of Jesus Christ and Him crucified, so that the world may escape the tribulations of the Antichrist and experience the joy of the Lord Jesus! Shalom…
