This paper discusses the Antichrist that will come in the last days as an evil king, powered by Satan, and deceiving the world about Christ divinity of His coming in the flesh. Antichrist means against Christ. Many people in each age have been Antichrist. All scriptures are from the King James' version Bible.

INDUCTIVE COMMENTS:

THEME: The Antichrist denies Jesus as the divine Christ and Father & Son. Antichrist is the man of sin, son of perdition, & wicked revealed one used by God.

1 John 2:22 "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son."

PURPOSE: The Antichrist is the offspring of Satan himself who goes into the temple as a god. He is restrained from coming by the overcomer Christians until they are raptured.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-8 "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; {4} 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, showing himself that he is God. {5} Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? {6} And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. {7} For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. {8} And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:"

KEY VERSE: Antichrist destroys saints, Jews, & is full of pride, but Jesus wins.

Daniel 8:23-25 "And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. {24} And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. {25} And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand."

WHO: God, written mostly by Bible authors Daniel, John, and Paul.

TO WHOM: Elected Jews and Christians

WHAT The Antichrist denies Jesus as the divine Christ and Father & Son. Antichrist is the man of sin, son of perdition, & wicked revealed one used by God.

1 John 2:22 "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son."

WHY: God fulfills prophecy, where He setups kings, & rules kingdoms for His purpose. The antichrist is the offspring of Satan himself who goes into the temple as a god. He is restrained by the overcomer Christians until they are raptured.

WAY: Satan's gives his power to the Antichrist to deceive the world & overcome the saints. The last days Antichrist will deny the divine Jesus came in the flesh.

1 John 4:3 "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that <spirit> of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."

WHEREAS: The final judgment will be never ending punishment to the beast, false prophet, and devil in the lake of fire.

Revelation 19:19-20 "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. {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."

WHERE: He maybe from Syria who as king of the north attacks Egypt & defects Israel.

Daniel 9:26-27 "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. {27} And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."

WHEN: Spirit exists, since sin, but "The Antichrist" will come in the latter, end, & last days. The antichrist shall come in the last days, but many Antichrists exists even today.

1 John 2:18 "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time"

WHILE:God fulfills the prophecy of a revived Roman Empire kingdom of Daniel 2:38-45

2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, {10} And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. {11} And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:" They prefer the lies.

WANT: The Antichrist is boastful trying to be like Christ thinking he is a god.

WAIT: God allow him to come in last 7 years Tribulation period of End Days - Day of the Lord.

See my paper: "Bible Books & Topics - Subject Cross Index" SHOWS REFERENCES IN BOTH MY BIBLE & TOPIC PAPERS WHERE A TOPIC SUBJECT INFORMATION MAY BE FOUND. for more information on this subject.

I) GENERAL: Scriptures shows that the Antichrist character is evil when he exists in the end days. Below are a few of the titles with scriptures for this person who will live in the latter/end/last days.

See my paper: "God's Dispensation & Covenant Plans" AN OVERVIEW OF THE CREATION DISPENSATIONAL & COVENANT (WITHIN EACH DISPENSATION) PLANS ARE SHOWN for more information on this subject.

II) SCRIPTURE TITLES OF ANTICHRIST: Anti = Against Christ. He is a evil liar who tries to be a god like Christ.

Scriptures refers to the "Antichrist" only in these 4 verses. However the verses discuss a future with many Aantichrists. The verses show the character & spirit of the Antichrist which shall come.

1 John 2:18 "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time" Antichrist in the last days, but many antichrists exists today

1 John 2:22 "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son."The Aantichrist denies Jesus as the divine Christ and Father & Son.

2 John 1:7 "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist." Antichrist is a liar that denies that Jesus came in the flesh.

III) HORN: The horn is a symbol for power and authority such as a king.

The Antichrist will be from a revived Grecian empire (Daniel 8:8-10) who will come after the ten member kingdom (Daniel 7:24) of the reviled Roman empire of the last days. He subdues three of the ten kings & takes over control of all ten kings. The Antichrist is full of pride & boast. He makes war against the saints & defects them in the last 3 & 1/2 years of the tribulation period.

Daniel 7:8 "I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things." Antichrist defects three horns.

Daniel 7:11 "I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame." Pride: God's judgment is administered on the antichrist who is destroyed & placed in burning flames.

Daniel 7:20-21 "And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. {21} I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;" Antichrist overcomes three of ten horns then defects the saints.

Daniel 8:8-10 "Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; & for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. {9} And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. {10} And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them." Great horn = Alexander's the Great; Upon his death, the four notable ones are his generals who took over as rulers of which the little horn = Antichrist who came out of one of the generals in the latter times.

IV) KING OF FIERCE COUNTENANCE: Antichrist under Satan's power destroys saints with that power.

V) PRINCE THAT SHALL COME: In the last day, he will destroy the city of Jerusalem & Jewish temple. He will first make a covenant with Israel, at the beginning of the 70th week, to make sacrifices in the temple & later break that covenant after 42 months by going into the temple claiming to be a god (abomination to make it of desolate).

See my paper: "Daniel's Prophecy of the 70 Weeks" PROPHECIES OF JESUS DEATH, RESURRECTION AND THE FUTURE ANTICHRIST ARE SHOWN for more information on this subject.

VI) ANTICHRIST IN LATTER DAYS - 7 YEARS TRIBULATION PERIOD IN COMPLETE CONTROL LAST 42 MONTHS:

See my paper: "End Times Events - Day of the Lord" ESCHATOLOGY. GOD'S PLAN FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS END DAYS, INCLUDING MANY RAPTURES, & JESUS 2ND COMING for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Revelation-Key-Elements" REVELATION-KEY-ELEMENTS: QUICKLY HELP EXPLAIN THE BOOK OF REVELATION BY CHAPTERS AND HIGHLIGHTS for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Revelation - Overview" REVELATION CHAPTER EVENTS WITH PICTURES – 7 CHURCHES (2, 3); 144,000 (7, 14); 3 SETS OF SEVEN PLAGUES: [SEALS (6, 8); TRUMPETS (8-9, 11); VIALS (16)]; 2 WITNESSES (11); ALL RAPTURES {12); SATAN (12, 13, 17); ANTI-CHRIST (13, 17); FALSE PROPHET (13,17); HARLOT (17) for more information on this subject.

Daniel 7:24-25 "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. {25} And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." Antichrist main control is in last 42 months time, times & half time

VII) KING: He will defeat the other kings and rule by himself claiming to be above god. He is the king of the north from Syria (Daniel 11:40-45) that defects Egypt. Later he plants the tabernacle in Jerusalem.

Daniel 11:3 "And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will." This is symbolic of what the Antichrist shall do in End Days.

Daniel 11:16 "But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed." The north king, antichrist, wins over the king of the south, Egypt, and makes his palace in Israel.

Daniel 11:36-45 "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. {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. {38} But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. {39} Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. {40} And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. {41} He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. {42} He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. {43} But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. {44} But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. {45} And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him." Antichrist is the king of the north from Syria who defects the king of the south Egypt.

VIII) MAN OF SIN, SON OF PERDITION THE WICKED ONE: He is evil itself who makes himself into a god.

IX) AFTER THE POWER OF SATAN: The antichrist's power is from Satan who is the father of all lies. He will do signs & lying wonders to compare himself with Jesus true miracles.

See my paper: "Born With Sin/Father Is Devil (Prior to Re-Birth)" PEOPLE ARE BORN IN SIN WITH SATAN AS THEIR SPIRITUAL FATHER for more information on this subject.

X) ABOMINATION OF DESOLATE: He shall plant the abomination of desolate in the holy place. The antichrist follows the example of Antialus Epipphanes in ~175 BC & places an image of a strange god in the temple offering sacrifices of unclean animals to that god.

Daniel 8:11-13 "Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. {12} And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered. {13} Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?" Antichrist first allowed Israel to sacrifice then removes them, but sacrifices the transgression of desolation in the Jewish temple.

Daniel 11:31 "And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate." The antichrist takes away the sacrifice and places the abomination that makes desolate.

Daniel 12:11 "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days." The abomination image of Antichrist will stay 1290 days in the temple. It will still be in the temple 30 days after the Antichrist is removed by Jesus.

Matthew 24:14-16 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. {15} When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) {16} Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:" Jesus verifies Daniel as author of the book & the future will include the abomination of desolate.

2 Thessalonians 2:4 "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, showing himself that he is God." The antichrist goes into the Jewish temple claiming to be god demanding worship & sacrifices.

XI) BEAST: He comes out of the sea (peoples), but is from Satan, as a beast to devour mankind.

See my paper: "Jewish Bible Teachings on Heaven, Hell & Spirit Beings" OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES SHOW SUBJECTS. for more information on this subject.

Daniel 7:7 "After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns." Antichrist is from the revived Roman empire in the last days, of the Daniel 2 image.

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 Antichrist is powered by Satan, comes back from the dead, & kills the two witnesses.

Revelation 13:1-8 "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. {2} 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. {3} 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. {4} 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? {5} 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. {6} And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. {7} And it was given unto kindreds, him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all and tongues, and nations. {8} 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." Compared with Daniel's ten horns and beasts of leopard, bear, & lion. Both Daniel & Revelation refer to 42 months period.

Revelation 13:11-18 "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. {12} And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. {13} And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, {14} 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. {15} 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. {16} 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: {17} 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. {18} 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." The Antichrist / 1st beast number is 666. The 2nd beast is the false prophet who will place the Antichrist image into the temple to be worshiped which is the abomination that desolates the temple.

XII) BEAST THAT WAS, AND IS NOT, AND YET IS: Satan has made his antichrist also live, die, and come back from the dead to compare with Jesus life. The Antichrist who gets his power from Satan was allowed by God to be resurrected from hell itself to die again then resurrected by God to be cast alive into the Lake of fire and brimstone.

See my paper: "Between Jesus' Death & Resurrection What did He Accomplish?" JESUS CONQUERED SATAN, TOOK HIS POWER & LOOSED PARADISE for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Resurrection" JESUS RESURRECTION IS THE CENTER OF OUR FAITH IN THE BIBLE; END TIMES RESURRECTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS & WICKED ARE DISCUSSED. for more information on this subject.

Revelation 13:3-4, 12-14 " And I saw on

e of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. {4} 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? {12} And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. {13} And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, {14} 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." Antichrist is the first beast & the false prophet is the other beast. The dragon supplies evil power to them so they may be compared with the Triunity of God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Revelation 17:7-13 "And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. {8} The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. {9} And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. {10} And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. {11} And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. {12} And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. {13} These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast." The beast is the antichrist who lives, dies, & is resurrected from the dead in hell. The world wonders at his resurrection from the dead. Then the antichrist removes the three kings and gets complete control over the seven remaining king.

XIII) FINAL PUNISHMENT FOR THE BEAST: Cast alive in the lake of fire & brimstone tormented forever.

See my paper: "Judgments of Believer & Unbeliever" PRESENTED ARE SEVERAL JUDGMENTS FOR THE SAVED AND UN-SAVED for more information on this subject.

Revelation 20:10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." A living hell where sin is punished forever exist with the person never being destroyed.
