THE COMING OF THE ANTICHRIST

And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, And is now already in the world. 1 John 4:3

At the time of the rebellion in the Garden of Eden, the Almighty God gave a prophecy to the serpent [Satan]: “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” Genesis 3:15.
The Bible, which used dozens of writers guided by the Spirit and took thousands of years to be written, is the history of what already has been fulfilled of God’s plans for humanity and the prophetic history of what needs to be completed. But the main prophecy to be completed is the one God gave the serpent in the Garden — Satan’s head is going to be crushed by the One coming soon — Jesus Christ.
Even though we don’t know the time or the hour when end-time events will begin because only Father God is in control of that information [Matthew 24:36], Jesus did tell his disciples to understand the season and to be looking for the signs: Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near — at the doors! This study will focus on the signs that we are seeing now and will soon be seeing of the Antichrist’s entrance into the world scene and the fulfillment of that first prophecy God gave the serpent.

God is in control of all human activities and it will be at the determined time that God will permit Satan’s man, the Antichrist, to be revealed and to complete the end-time assignment he was given to do. We will see the entrance of the Antichrist into the world’s scene because Jesus said it and in these verses He is speaking to the disciples and in turn, speaking to the church,
AS WE WILL SEE!

“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place.” Matthew 24:15
“So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not.” Mark 13:14
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near.” Luke 21:20

The apostle John declared that he saw the entrance of the BEAST, in Christ’s revelation :

“Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.” Rev. 13:1

“And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8.
[Believers will see the antichrist when he comes to Jerusalem temple and declares to be “God”.]

“The ten horns are ten kings who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; he shall be different from the first ones, and shall subdue three kings. He shall speak pompous words against the Most High [GOD].” Daniel 7:24-25
And the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke pompous words whose appearance was greater than his fellows. Daniel 7:20

The apostle John also describes how all the leaders of the world will submit to him:

“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.” Revelation 17:12-13

“The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.” Rev. 13:2
“The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9

Where is Satan sending the Antichrist/the beast with all the armies of these kings ? — to Jerusalem !!
