The Leader of the New World Order!

God has forewarned us of a time when the man of sin, a human dictator (II Thess. 2:4), known as THE ANTICHRIST or THE FIRST BEAST (Rev.13), will be given power over "all kindreds and tongues and nations..." "and ALL that dwell on the earth SHALL worship him (except the saints), and he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive his mark, the number or name, in order to (work), buy or sell." (Rev. 13:7,8,16)

"As a SNARE, shall it come on ALL them that dwell on the face of the whole earth." (Luke 21:35). That is why God warned in the 34th verse,: "Take heed... lest... your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares."

Two particular baits the Antichrist will use to coax people under his snare before they are caught and compelled to take the mark: money and hunger. Many people are already more concerned about surviving - saving their own skin and their ability to work, buy and sell than they are about their soul's eternal welfare.

Whose Number Is This?

In English it is 600-060-006.or (666) In Greek it can be the Greek letters which look like  x-e-s. In the Roman it is DC-LX-VI. The Bible does not say every man will have that number, only those that pledge allegiance to the man of sin, and take his mark , his number ... it is the number of a MAN, and HIS number is six hundred threescore and six. (Rev. 13:18)

Why They Will Worship Him!

The Antichrist will be a deceiver, the leader of the New World Order, and a counterfeit imitator of Christ. He will be religious at the start. (John 16:2). As Christ desired unity among His followers (John 17:20,21), even so the Antichrist has put into place a Counterfeit Church.  Here we have two groups, the sealed ones of God (The Bride Of Christ) , that are sealed with the Mark of God and will live in Eternity with God Forever and the Sealed ones of Satan that will accept the Mark of the Beast (Satan) and will be eternally condemned to Hell forever. As Christ has power to heal the sick, raise the dead, and had power over the elements to do miracles, so will the Antichrist seemingly have the same powers. (Rev. 13:13-15; II Thess. 2:10-11)

He shall be a successful ruler. The first of his reign shall be marked with the promise of peace and such prosperity that all will gladly surrender to him. (Dan 11:36), but this will eventually fade into the worst class of slavery the world has ever heard anything about. (Rev. 13:7, 16; II Thess. 2:4).

The Image

 Perhaps through physical cloning, robotics, or radio, television, fiber optics, satellites, the Internet, holographic laser images and speaking super computers, a cloned image will be made "to both speak and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." (Rev. 13:15).

The False Prophet's Role In The "Unholy Trinity"

The ultimate deception of the end times will involve the world-wide worship of the FIRST BEAST, the Antichrist (Rev.13).  This will be encouraged by the False Prophet (Rev.19:20; 20:10), also known as the second "beast"(Rev.13:11-17).

Like the, Antichrist, his identity is not clearly revealed, but several clues are given to help us know who he is.

Revelation 13 presents ten identifying features of the False Prophet.  He will:

• 1. Rise out of the earth;

• 2. Control all Ecumenical, Ecclesiastical and world religious affairs;

• 3. Be motivated by Satan-,

• 4. Promote worship of the beast;

• 5. Be a Charismatic Religious Leader , Performing counterfeit signs and miracles,

• 6. Deceive the whole world;

• 7. Empower the image of the beast;

• 8. Kill all who refuse to worship;

• 9. Control all economic commerce;

• 10. Instrumental in Controlling and Implementing the Mark of the Beast;

Biblical scholars are divided on the matter of the identity of the False Prophet.  Some believe that he will be Jewish, while others believe he will be a Gentile.  The biblical record itself is inconclusive.

However. when we observe the relationship of the False Prophet to the great prostitute, the "Mysterious Harlot" (Rev. 17), we immediately notice his connection to the city on "seven hills"(see Rev. 17:7-9) that rules "over the kings of the earth" ( Rev.17-18).

Ironically, little has been written about the False Prophet compared to the volumes of material about the Antichrist.  Thomas Ice and Timothy Demy comment, "The Antichrist and  the False Prophet are two separate individuals who will work towards a common, deceptive goal. Their roles and relationship will be that which was common in the ancient world between a ruler (Antichrist) and the high priest (False Prophet) of the national one world religion."

Work Of The False Prophet

The False Prophet is depicted in the Revelation as a Charismatic religious leader who uses miraculous signs and wonders to deceive the world into worshipping the Antichrist. 

The False Prophet does not so much deny Christian doctrine as he corrupts it through a Counterfeit Christianity.  Only in this way can the Antichrist sit in the temple of God, demanding to be worshipped as God (see Isaiah 14:12-14).

Together, Satan (dragon), Antichrist (beast of sea), and the False Prophet (beast of earth) comprise an "unholy trinity" that is a counterfeit of the triune God.  Satan opposes the Father; Antichrist opposes the Son; and the False Prophet opposes the True Holy Spirit. 

The method of their diabolical attempt is explained in the biblical record.  The Antichrist dare not appear until after the "rebellion"  or "falling away"  of apostasy.  In the meantime, the spirit and power of the Antichrist (lawlessness) is already at work attempting to pervert the gospel and to corrupt the true church.  When this process is sufficiently established, the False Prophet will arise to prepare for the coming of the Antichrist.

The process by which the False Prophet deceives the world is through apostasy, the renunciation of the true gospel.  The spirit and power of Antichrist continues to work throughout the church continuing to deny the True Savior's work on the cross that redeemed us from our sins.

Religious Apostasy

The danger signs of apostasy:

• 1. Loss of all appreciation for the Gospel

• 2. Loss of conviction that the Gospel is true

• 3. Contempt for the promises of God

• 4. Rejection of the True Christian religion

• 5. Despises and rejects the True people of God

• 6. Despises and rejects the True Holy Spirit of God

• 7. Open declaration of hatred for Christ

Though these observation over 300 years ago, they pinpoint  exactly the nature of both the personal and ecumenical-ecclesiastical.  When professing Christians become apostate and turn against the truth, they often do so with a vengeance. 

All that are Left Behind -- be they Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, or Charismatic -- will be lost.  In such an environment, the False Prophet will have no problem deceiving the whole world. 

The Great Lie

The apostle Paul explained this process when he wrote: "For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way" (2 Thessalonians 2:7).

After the rapture, the True Holy Spirit will still convict people of sin, but His restraining ministry will be over and all of Satan's evil will break loose on earth.  Then the lawless one will be revealed.

Paul said, "The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing" (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10).

The rise of the Antichrist ("lawless one") will parallel a general breakdown in religious and moral values, resulting in a decadent society that will believe "the lie" rather than the truth.

Despite this external threat, the biblical writers warned constantly of apostasy, disobedience and rebellion from within the ranks of the church (see I Timothy 4:1-3); (2 Timothy 3:1-5); (2 Corinthians 11:13-15); (Galatians 1:6-12); (2 Peter 2:1-3); (John 4:1-3); (2 John 7); (Jude 3-4).

Paul indicates that this process will begin during the Church Age.  The "falling away" (2 Thess. 2:3) will occur before the "coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Thess. 2:1-3). 

Is There An Escape?

"And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death." (Rev. 12:11).

"To him that OVERCOMETH will I give to eat of the hidden manna." (Rev. 2:17)

"He shall dwell on high; his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks, bread SHALL be given him; his waters SHALL BE SURE." (Isaiah 33:16; Dan. 7:21,22; Psalms 37:3, 19, 25, 28).

 Please be wise and heed this WARNING!

NEVER under any circumstances to allow this deadly mark to be placed in or on YOU or inserted under your skin, such as an implanted microchip (You can never know what is on it or who is in charge of doing it, is it the Anti-Christ?) or tatoos you may think are "cool".. All true Christians must put their trust in the real CHRIST.  Better to be safe in the hands of the Lord than careless and find your soul doomed to eternal damnation!

"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." (Rev:20:4)

"I call Heaven and earth to record, this day against you, and that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: "Therefore choose LIFE that both thou and thy seed may live." (Deut. 30:19)
