The Antichrist

Where did this guy come from? What will he do? Who is he? What about his mark?

Questions we ask when we consider the antichrist are numerous and some answers are not known, however we will explore the issue as best we can.

We know that this man will become a world leader, that he will sign a contract with the Jewish nation, That he will impose a worldwide monetary, governmental and religious system and that he only has 42 months to reign. Note that Jesus only worked publicly for 42 months also.

This Satan or antichrist has always wanted what God Has

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light..

Isaiah 14:12-15 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Isaiah informs us that Lucifer was cast out of Heaven because he wanted to be God. We also find that he will be humbled by God in the end.

Ezekiel 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

It would appear that Lucifer was in good standing with God while Adam and Eve were walking in the Garden. One might surmise that the very act of the serpent in the garden was the sin that banished Lucifer from heaven.

Ezekiel 28:13-15 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

One very important thing to note from Ezekiel's passage here is that Lucifer was a created being just like us. The fact that he was created brings him into subjection of the creator, namely Jesus.

Ezekiel 28:16-18 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

God had created a super angel in Lucifer. He had special abilities and great charisma. He was beautiful and powerful. God is no Indian giver as the US was to the American Indians. The power and Charisma God allowed Satan to retain, however his power was now evil and his existence was cursed to hell.

One never understands the Pain and hurt until we suffer loss. The pain and hurt that the deceiver possesses is almost unfathomable for us to comprehend. Consider the cost of this pride, to have everything and loose it all. One who dabbles in the occult will soon find out that there is a cost for wanting to control things here on this planet. Pain and separation from the true love (GOD) is the reward for those who think they deserve more than they have.

Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

John the beloved tells us in the revelation that the Antichrist has a religious leader helping him. This false prophet performs magic to convince the people on earth to follow the Antichrist.

Revelation 13:3-5 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. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

We are told that the Antichrist receives a fatal blow to the head and recovers before the whole world. This antichrist's mission is to take away the glory of Jesus and consume all the souls on earth. He wants to be God and make God feel the pain and loss that he has experienced. We also find that the antichrist is given an allotment of time to have his way on earth. Forty Two months is the duration of his reign.

Revelation 13:6-7 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

The antichrist's prime objective is to kill the Christians and convert the lost. He has worldwide control over all nations. What is so hard to accept is why preachers overlook all the references to the saints being killed in the revelation. The Saints are the believers and this antichrist is making war with believers.

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

It seems that the way to gain victory over the beast is to find a good hiding place or love not your life unto death. The chosen method of extermination is beheading.

Revelation 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

The beast comes up from out of the unlocked pit. The pit is unlocked after the nuclear war with Iran.

Revelation 9:1-2 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

Revelation 13:13-18 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto 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. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

There is a statue of the antichrist that is animated, and whoever will not worship the statue will be killed. Everyone is required to receive a mark that unifys them with the antichrist. This mark will be used to buy and sell.

The name of the beast has been a mystery for ages. The name of this beast is different from all names, in fact it is a symbol rather than a name. 3 six pointed stars in a row will be his name. This might come as a shock to many who have never studied the occult. The darkest power on earth is that of the six pointed star. This dark power was what the Jewish nation worshiped while in rebellion from God.

Amos 5:26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

The Jewish nation has been in continuous rebellion from God for over 2500 years. They do not accept Jesus as Messiah. Their Messiah will bear the mark of their God.

This might sound almost anti-Semitic but it is not the Jewish nation I stand against it is the their god, the god of the six pointed star.

Secret organizations use this star to honor the dark forces that they accept as their god. They will have no choice but to accept the mark. Be wise and notice that most of the great men in our world, most of our leaders are star carrying members of a secret organization that worships this six pointed star.
