Revelation | PT. 19 - The Antichrist & False Prophet | Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer

Revelation 13 - Opposition To God's Plan (Unholy Trinity - Dragon, Antichrist & False Prophet)
Revelation 14 - Proclamation Of God's Plan (3 Angels)
Tonight = Demonic Duo (Antichrist & False Prophet)
They work together to advance the agenda of the Dragon
Antichrist = Political Leader
False Prophet = Religious Leader
antichrist and antichrists
1 John 2:18
There is an antichrist but there are many antichrists
Ex. Emperor Nero was an antichrist
Hitler, Stalin
Many Christians build their Theology on current events
We need to build our Theology upon the Bible
Antichrist - what have we learned so far?
Enters the World Stage riding on a white horse with no bow - peace
Not royalty
He is a man not a woman
Fairly certain he is Jewish and likely from the tribe of Dan
Names/Titles of the Antichrist
1. Man of Lawlessness (2 Thes 2:3)
2. Foolish Shepherd (Zech 11:15-17)
3. King who exalts himself (Dan. 11:36-45)
4. Beast (Revelation 28x)
Revelation 13
Revelation 13:1-10
6 Descriptions Of The Beast
1. Wickedness (vs. 2)
2. Wonders (vs. 3)
3. Words (vs. 5-6)
4. Warfare (vs. 7)
5. Worship (vs. 4, 8, 12)
God sees him as a beast = monster
Looks good on the outside but is a monster on the inside
Out of the Sea = Sea of Humanity
10 horns & 7 heads = Global Confederation i.e. 1 world government
How does the Antichrist come to power?
Daniel 7:2-8
10 horns = 10 geographic areas of the globe
1 horn will rise up to rule them all - Antichrist
Daniel 7:15-17 says, “I, Daniel, was troubled in spirit, and the visions that passed through my mind disturbed me. 16 I approached one of those standing there and asked him the meaning of all this. “So he told me and gave me the interpretation of these things: 17 ‘The four great beasts are four kings that will rise from the earth."
4 Kingdoms & 4 Kings
1. Lion w/Eagle Wings = Babylonian Empire (Fierce)
2. Bear = Persian Empire (Strong)
3. Leopard = Grecian Empire (Swift)
4. 10 Horns = One World Government?
Daniel 7:19-25
Revelation 13:3
Many scholars believe this is a reference to an assassination attempt which the antichrist survives
Based on Zechariah 11:15-17
Assassination attempt and raised back to life by the False Prophet
This fills the world with wonder
Imagine watching it on TV
When he recovers though his injury is still visible
Right brain injury would cause left arm to be paralyzed
Yet this recovery is so fantastic it causes people to worship him
Daniel 11:36-39
Characteristics Of The Antichrist
1. Speaks Blasphemy
2. Has Power Until Wrath Is Complete
3. No regard for the gods of his fathers
4. No regard for women
5. Honors a god of the fortress
False Prophet
Revelation 13:11-18 says, "Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[e] That number is 666."
Earth = Worldly Religious System
Like a lamb but spoke like a dragon
Points people to worship the first beast
Signs = Fire from heaven like Elijah
False Prophet
1. Purpose - Draw attention to the Antichrist
2. Power - Miraculous
3. Plan - Mark of the Beast
666
6 = man
6th day = humanity
We have to be careful here
