Session 80: The Antichrist
The antichrist...this is a topic in which a lot of people have heard about but they may not know a whole lot of details about. The writer this week brings out a few great points about the antichrist. First, the antichrist is satan's pr man. There is an intimate relationship between the beast(the antichrist) and the dragon(satan). The beast will be doing all that the dragon wishes for him to do. Obviously, this will be against Christ. He will have a limited time frame of 42 months to wage war and have authority over the whole world. This brings us to our second point: the antichrist is the ultimate control freak. Usually when someone is a control freak they also have a lot of pride in what they are setting out to do. Pride goes before the fall. He will fall. It will be very important for one to know the scripture in order to not fall for the deception of this beast. Many will fall for the control of the beast by taking the mark. It will be necessary for physical survival. The false prophet will try to indoctrinate people with great deception. Lastly, the antichrist is a persecutor. He will be allowed to persecute the believers. He will have permission to wage war against the saints. But, this will only be to the extent of what God will permit. It will be so intense that is will seem the antichrist is winning. But, thanks be to God, we know how this story will end. God is faithful!

just thought I would let you know if any are interested. on 88.3 at 7:00 am for the next couple of days, David Jeremiah is preaching from the book of Daniel on the antichrist
That Crowder guy sounded like a pig most of the time. Isn't that where Jesus sent the demons? Into the pigs. Yep! this guys is nuts!
Stephen Bene' says, The Antichrist is just a puppet of the devil. Just like Satan he only has the power God allows him to have. The Antichrist will have control of the earth for a little while but then God will take it away from him and cast him into the Great Abyss. And NO...he's not President Obama...at least I don't think so anyway.
Seriously, he will be an eloquent speaker. He will motivate people to do things they never thought possible. He will be loved by almost everyone and he will be in control over all of the world. He will control the world's economy and resources. He will appear to be a great man who is only trying to make the world a better place. Eventually God will take his power away and he will be punished for all eternity for his actions.
Praise be to God that we who are saved will never have to endure the pain and agony that the Antichrist will cause. We will be in heaven with Him and will not have to go through all of the junk the Antichrist will bring. Thank you Jesus!
Eternally His,
Stephen
This lesson only makes me think more about how important it is to witness to our lost friends and loved ones. I know we don't have anything to worry about but my heart hurts for those who will have to endure this.

God is triune. He is one God, but He makes himself known in three persons. The devil tries to counterfeit and copy God. He too has a trinity ( three persons working together for the sake of evil.
THE TRUE TRINITY
God the Father is the God of gods (Daniel: 11:36)
God the Son is the LORD Jesus Christ (God’s perfect man)
God the Holy Spirit (His job is to draw attention the Christ and get people to worship Him)
THE COUNTERFEIT TRINITY
Satan the Devil is the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:4)
The Beast of Antichrist (The Devil’s man)
The false prophet (his job is to draw attention to the beast and get people to worship him)
I believe the mark of the beast will probably involve some kind of computer chip or RFID tag [radio frequency identification] attached to the right hand or forehead that will be able to be scanned at stores, etc. Even today such technology exists and can be implanted under the skin. Just type “RFID” into your web browser guys. Its very scary. Its astounding and a tribute to the divine inspiration of the Bible, that the book of Revelation mentions such a technology that was unknown to the world until the last part of the 20th century. It was not unknown to God who knows the end from the beginning! I to, feel sorry for those who choose to reject Christ.
