#2 ANTI-CHRIST - the 'false prophet'

We continue to search in this very Jewish sacred Book for clues on this 'anti-Christ' guy...and what have we discovered so far?  2 types of apostasy and 2 people cast alive into the lake of fire...

6. 'THE BEAST'
The 'Beast' cast into the lake of fire (ch19) is introduced to us in Chapter 13...

John is an old Jew, exiled on the isle of Patmos, looking out over the Mediterranean Sea - then totally under the control of the Roman Empire (which will eventually collapse in 476 AD) - and he sees this monster emerge which would have reminded him of the 4 beasts that Daniel saw. This one seems to be all those former empires presented in one final monster under the control of Satan the dragon, but then we find it personified in..... 
ONE BLASPHEMOUS SPOKESMAN!                                 
He emerges to take total global control of people, including trade. His number is 666 - a MAN's number.
(Does this remind you of someone?)

Wait up...there's a 2nd beast!...

7. THE RELIGIOUS BEAST
We found that the Beast that is finally cast alive into the lake of fire is the blasphemous spokesman of the global super-power...but who is that 'false prophet'? Is he just 'the side-kick', like so many teach?
John keeps telling us (x3) about the satanic homage paid to the Dragon & 'the Beast' and now we find out why...
Another beast has emerged, not from the revived Roman Empire, but 'out of the earth' - the mainland nearest Patmos is now called TURKEY...and further east lies IRAQ! 

Keep in mind that John was born a Jew, he told us of John the Baptist identifying Jesus as the Lamb of God, he saw Jesus crucified at Passover, he has just seen a vision of the Lamb standing in heaven, as slain (ch5), he has warned us about the anti-Christ, and now here's a creature with lamb horns, speaking like a DRAGON, ordering satanic worship of the first Beast. He can even imitate Elijah calling down fire from heaven! Does this 'lamb' get its authority from the Father in heaven? No...it's authority is from the satanic first 'Beast'. This guy is very deceptive and murderous: "Bow down or die!"  Next we will look at what OT prophets said about this guy.


Here we have the 2 personifications of Gentile & Jewish apostasy in open Satanic rebellion against God.
