The
Antichrist & The False Prophet,
Who
Are They?
Who
is the antichrist?
The antichrist will be the world's
political dictator of the last days.
He will be a gentile who will arise out
of and rule over the revived Roman
empire. The
Scripture declares ...and power was
given him over all kindred, and tongues,
and nations... Rev. 13:7. The
Antichrist will be
a man whom Satan will fill to such an
extent that he will be Satan incarnate.
This is why Paul calls him the man of
sin and the son of perdition.
2 Thess. 2:3
The chief religious figure in the world
during the
Great Tribulation years is
identified in Scripture as the False
Prophet. He will be influential in
religious affairs, empowered by
Satan,
having authority delegated to him as he
promotes the worship of the Antichrist.
The authenticity of his ministry will be
demonstrated by signs and wonders,
successfully deceiving the unbelieving
world. He will promote idolatrous
worship and possess the power of death.
He will possess authority over commerce,
and having an identifying physical mark.
While you and I live in a time of the
spirit of antichrist, and many false
prophets; the Tribulation saints will
know specifically who both individuals
are. Their solid defense against the
False Prophet and the Antichrist will be
the Word of God. They will be sound in
the fundamental doctrines of the Bible.
Even today, Christians are only at their
best when they rely upon sound doctrine
from God's Word.
The second beast of Revelation (Rev.
13:11-18), is a person who will
manifest himself shortly before the
second coming of Christ. He will
be an impressive miracle worker and
during the Tribulation period, he will
bring fire down from heaven and with
commanding abilities, will persuade the
masses to worship the image of the Beast
(Rev.
11:15;
13:16-17).
Jesus gave telling words about false
prophets in
Matt. 24:24, warning that in the
last days many false prophets would
arise and deceive, if possible, even the
elect. False prophets with their mastery
use of false doctrine easily influence
people away from the biblical mandate of
God's Word, namely, the gospel of Jesus
Christ.
Examples of modern day false prophets
are Joseph Smith (Mormonism), Charles
Taze Russell (Jehovah's Witnesses), Mary
Baker Eddy (Christian Science), the
Pope, (Roman Catholicism), etc. Each of
them foster a false gospel sufficient to
cause damnation.
Our only sufficiency necessary to expose
false prophets and their teachings is
the Word of God under the direct
infl
uence of the
Holy Spirit. To
better equip yourself for the ministry,
