The Antichrist’s Appearance

2 Thess. 2: 3-4 “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; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”

Rev. 13:18 “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”

For the first half of the Tribulation, the Antichrist will take his position and establish himself as a great and compassionate leader.

Daniel 11: 21 “but he shall come in peaceably and, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.” Because the nations of the earth will be in chaos, he will come forth as one who can bring civil order and balance. He will be a great orator or speaker.

Daniel 11:36 “and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods…” He will be a political and commercial genius.

Daniel 11:41 “He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown…”

But also, a clever liar and deceiver who is led by Satan.

2 Thess. 2:9-10 “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.”

Some predict that he may be a homosexual, although not all agree with this interpretation of the Scripture.

Daniel 11:37 “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.”

However, at the end of the first three and a half years, he will reveal who he is: the cruelest dictator the world has ever known. He will gain political and economic control over all the world.

Daniel 13:7 “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.”

Some people today believe that they will be able to easily resist the Antichrist and live for Jesus during this awful time. To be saved, they must be willing to die for their conviction—many will die for what they believe. Now is the easiest time to be saved. Jesus will rapture His people out before the Antichrist appears. Get saved now and please, don’t miss the Rapture!
