UNDERSTANDING THE ANTICHRIST IN THE LAST DAYS! (263 hits)
The Antichrist, who will come upon the face of the earth and deceive the world through pre-meditated gifts of the Spirit. Revelation 13:15 says that the False Prophet will have power to give life unto the image of the Beast (the Antichrist).
There are going to be three demonic deceptions in the last days:
- First, there will be a moral deception. Satan’s deception from the Garden of Eden until now has never changed; it is a moral deception. Look how he deceived Eve and how he tried to deceive Jesus. He will be doing the same thing in these last days. He has not learned one new thing in these 6,000 years. He is still doing the same thing in the same way; there have been no alterations, no changes. - Secondly, there will be a political deception. I assure you that in the near future there will be politicians on the world scene who will speak words so amazing that the world will follow them. They will have promises so astounding that the whole world will say, “Let’s follow after this person.” This is the spirit of the antichrist. - Thirdly, there will be a religious deception. This will be the False Prophet, which is the religious spirit.
The Devil will deceive by miracles, Revelation 13:14 states that he 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….These miracles will be performed in the sight of the man who is the PREDATOR (Antichrist), just as the Egyptian sorcerers had the power to do false miracles in the eyes of Pharaoh. But Moses put an end to all of that. What a sinner sees and what God’s servant sees are two entirely different things. They may believe a lie, but we will not.
The Devil will deceive people…. 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 (v.14). Here we see the healing of a deadly wound, so that the people believe that he is God. There are many false healers making the rounds today, deceiving many. I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb (this is the False Prophet), and he spake as a dragon And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him (the Antichrist), whose deadly wound was healed, Revelation 13:11,12.
So we find that this beast could do things which to the people were completely supernatural. We know these things are not honest and true; they are counterfeit. But the Bible says the whole world will go after it. Jesus said: I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive (John 5:43).
We live in a strange world today. There are people who will pass up the truth in order to grab a lie. This world would love to have the benefit and blessing of healing without having to get right with God. Then they could go on living in sin and still get their miracle free of charge. But that is not how it works. Jesus told the man who had been healed at the pool of Bethesda: Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee (John 5:14). Revelation 13:13 says: And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. Notice that this deception is done in the sight of men. It is a magician’s trick, a counterfeit.
The Bible tells us that when the Antichrist comes, it will be through a great system of deception; so it is obvious that the way before him will already be prepared. When he comes, it will be easy because the people will already be conditioned for him.Today our world is conditioned for a lie. Almost every television program you see shows a superman or woman. The Antichrist will be that superman or woman, and this gullible world will say, “Who is like him? We must all follow him.”
The climax of it all will be the Antichrist, in whom a PREDATOR of all nine gifts will be manifested. They who have refused the gifts from us will accept the PREDATORS gifts from him Isn’t that SADISM? Tens of thousands of people who do not accept healing from the stripes of the Lord Jesus Christ will accept it from spiritism, or from some pseudo-science that has no blood sacrifices attached to it.
I urge you to commit yourself to stand against the PREDATORS that Satan will bring into the world.
Just say” LORD, I am against these PREDATORS of Satan, and I am going to fight them. I will recognize them when they rise up, expose them for what they are, and resist them, in Jesus’ name. I will be on Jesus’ side every time.”

Wonderful....I love prophesy and I too look for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. First we must know that the triology comes in the latter days. God will prepare his people to also be ready in the days of terror. Bless you. It's not always easy to tell of the latter days, people don't usually want to hear or know about it, and so many churches and places of worship do not teach the Revelation of the last days. Again, blessings!
