Seven Signs of The Antichrist


 
Seven Signs of The Antichrist

1. The Antichrist will lead a religion.

A woman pictures religion-A religious leader. (Revelation 17:1-5)

(Revelation 17:1 [AMP (ES)])
 ONE OF the seven angels who had the seven bowls then came and spoke to me, saying, Come with me! I will show you the doom (sentence, judgment) of the great harlot (idolatress) who is seated on many waters,(1)

(Revelation 17:2 [AMP (ES)])
[She] with whom the rulers of the earth have joined in prostitution (idolatry) and with the wine of whose immorality (idolatry) the inhabitants of the earth have become intoxicated.(2)

(Revelation 17:3 [AMP (ES)])
And [the angel] bore me away [rapt] in the Spirit into a desert (wilderness), and I saw a woman seated on a scarlet beast that was all covered with blasphemous titles (names), and he had seven heads and ten horns.

(Revelation 17:4 [AMP (ES)])
The woman was robed in purple and scarlet and bedecked with gold, precious stones, and pearls, [and she was] holding in her hand a golden cup full of the accursed offenses and the filth of her lewdness and vice.(3)

(Revelation 17:5 [AMP (ES)])
And on her forehead there was inscribed a name of mystery [with a secret symbolic meaning]: Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes (idolatresses) and of the filth and atrocities and abominations of the earth.

The church that is sitting on the beast is described as a wealthy prostuite. Scripture fornication, adultery, and idolatry is often used by God to symbolize corruption. (Jeremiah 3:8-9 and Ezekiel 16:30-34)

The false church-is not the same as the beast power of the end time. (1 John 4:1-3)
The antichrist will be a false prophet-He will be a power religions ruler who will control the most powerful church on the earth. He will not teach the doctrine of Jesus Christ though he may look like Christ himself.

2. The Antichrist will appear Christ-like.

He will come in the name of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 24:4-5)
He will appear to be Christ-like on the outside. (Revelation 13:11)
The Lamb always was a symbol of Jesus Christ where as a dragon always was the symbol of Satan the devil.
He will not teach doctrines that are not from the Word of God.

3. The Antichrist will work "miracles". (Revelation 13:13-14)

4. The Antichrist will deny Christ "coming in the flesh". (2 John )

The antichrist will not teach Christ as coming in the flesh. Dr. Charles B. Williams translation of the New Testament text. "Christ continue to come in the flesh." Christ will continue to come in the flesh even at His return. The antichrist will not be teaching this doctrine but will deny this all together.

Consider carefully Galatians 2:20; Romans 5:10 we are saved by His life. Christ lives His life in the true Christian daily, helping them to live the life that He himself lived. Helping them to grow and overcome sin now, in this life.
The Antichrist will deny this truth.

5. The Antichrist will reject God's law. (2 Thess.2:8-9)

The antichrist will teach a doctrine of lawlessness. What does it really mean when God calls a person lawless? More details of this in the book of Daniel 7:25. He will change the law from God's law to another law or tradition. Lawless

Ref. Dan. 7:8, 20; 8:25; 11:28, 30-37; Isa. 37:23; 2 Thess.2:4; Rev. 13:5,6,11.

He shall wear out the saints-By wars, crusades, massacrers, ets. Rev.6;9,10; Rev.11:7-10; Rev.14:12; Rev.16:6; Rev.17:6; Rev.18:24.

The antichrist will attempt to change the very laws of God.

6. The Antichrist will persecute true Christians. (Dan.7:25)

True followers of God's and these that keep His laws. John 16:2; Luke 12:32; Rev.12:17; Rev.13:7. 15;
He will cause true Christians to be killed. Those that keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

7. The Antichrist will point to a revived Roman Empire.

This is the beast of Revelation, where church and state come together, to kill commandment keeping Christians. 1 John 2:18; 2 Thess. 2:7
