The Antichrist Revealed-
2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
That day, or the day of the Rapture, will not come until there is a falling away of morality and the man of sin is revealed. This man of sin, called the antichrist by the Bible, will try and deceive the whole world with false truth.
As we get closer to the Rapture and the end of the world we may ourselves begin to be suspicious of leaders in prominent world positions and wonder if they are possibly the antichrist. If we are near the end of the world then this antichrist leader is already on the stage completing some of his deceptive moves.
Keep your eyes open for this antichrist leader “and his organization” called in the Bible, the beast. God wants us to be aware of our environment and even more so as we see things happening that indicate we are nearing the Rapture of the church. 1 Thessalonians 5:4 says that believers should not be surprised when the rapture happens.
1 Thessalonians 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
The Bible also tells us that the antichrist will have a right hand man called the false prophet.
Revelation 13:14 tells us that the false prophet will deceive people on the earth by means of miracles.
Revelation 13:14 And 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; 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.
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
So here is Satan’s team during the tribulation: The antichrist + The false prophet + their organization = the Beast
Important: The Bible also tells us that Satan’s team will seem to be righteous and good. But this will be a deception, they will instead be filled with Satan’s power.
Satan has to wait until the rapture happens before he can use the antichrist to deceive the world.
Satan, through the antichrist, cannot begin to work his evil until after the rapture takes God’s children away. The Holy Spirit lives inside God’s children. When God’s children are taken in the rapture then the Holy Spirit will be taken from the earth also. This will create a perfect opportunity for Satan to persuade people to believe a deception. This deception will be so convincing if it were possible even God’s children might believe it if they were still on the earth.
The Holy Spirit will return to the earth when the two witnesses begin their ministry.
Here are some verses that talk about the Holy Spirit.
2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Iniquity is another word for sin.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 tells us before the rapture, even though sin is present on the earth, the Holy Spirit is still “letting” the work of Christ be done. When the rapture happens the Holy Spirit will be removed from the earth or “taken out of the way”.As soon as the Holy Spirit is taken from the earth when the Rapture happens then a Wicked person that the Bible calls the “antichrist” will be revealed. It tells us this in 2 Thessalonians 2:8.
VERY IMPORTANT: Remember, if you are still here on earth after the rapture happens when the people disappear, keep your eyes open for a prominent leader that will stand up and persuade the world to listen to him talk about his plans for some kind of deception. The Bible teaches this. YOU will have to make a choice between believing God and the Bible or the deception. Don’t harden your hearts. Listen to God. He is telling you Truth.
Confirming of the Covenant: The tribulation period begins with the confirming of a covenant by the antichrist’s organization and many others. It will be important to note at what time and date this confirmation happens so you will know when it will be over. The tribulation will only last 7 years.
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week…
Note: Who is the “he“? I’m not sure if the antichrist himself will confirm the covenant or someone who exercises the antichrist’s power will confirm it. It may be confirmed by the “second in command” of the antichrist’s kingdom.
Census? When the rapture happens it will look like people simply disappeared. The government will want to know who is here and who disappeared so there may be a mandatory census taken sometime after the rapture. Remember, The rapture is when God removes His children from the earth before He releases judgment, so there will be a lot of people missing.
I’m going to suggest that you NOT take part in this census.
YOU WILL NEED TO STAY HIDDEN IN ORDER TO SURVIVE THE TRIBULATION.
If you become a child of God and you survive the tribulation you will be alive to enjoy the Millennium at the end of the 7 year tribulation.
If you are a child of God and you die during the tribulation you will be resurrected after the tribulation and will reign with Christ during the Millennium.
It’s my speculation that the United States will be greatly damaged (broken) at the time of the rapture. Because of this the United Nations will step in to attempt to control the chaos in America.
The Bible tells us that the United States will be divided into four regions after the rapture.
Daniel 8:22 Now that being broken, … four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
When a census is taken the United States is divided into four regions.
The Midwest, the Northeast, the South and the West.
Each region will obtain some sort of national status but not with the same strength as America had before the rapture.
The Bible also talks about these four regions will be governed by four economically strong countries within the United Nations Security Council.
Daniel 8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. Daniel 8:22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. Daniel 11:4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.
These four countries will also be members of the European Union. The leopard in Daniel 7:6 represents the European Union after the Lisbon Treaty is in place. Four strong countries within the European Union is economically supporting the four regions of the United States.
Daniel 7:6 also sounds like the “new” European Union will have four leaders (heads) and may receive dominion by obtaining a seat on the United Nations Security Council.
Daniel 7:6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
A king of fierce countenance stands up
In Daniel 8:23 it says after the United States is split into four regions, a king of fierce countenance, comes into the picture.
Daniel 8:22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
Daniel 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
The Bible tells us that during the tribulation an evil one world government will take over with the antichrist leading it. This antichrist will SEEM to be good but will get his power from Satan.
An Embedded Mark
This evil world government will try and enforce an embedded mark of some kind on the entire population.
Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
This embedded mark will be necessary in order for each person to buy food, get medical supplies, go to the doctor, anything that will be necessary in life. BUT…
The Bible tells you NOT to receive this mark or you will be tormented with fire and brimstone day and night!
Revelation 14:9-11
9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Do NOT take this mark!
In order NOT to take the mark you will need to remain hidden during the tribulation.
If a census is taken and you are not accounted for then folks will think you were taken during the rapture. No one will be looking for those people who were taken in the rapture.
YOU WILL NEED TO STAY HIDDEN IN ORDER TO SURVIVE THE TRIBULATION.
If you become a child of God and you survive the tribulation you will be alive to enjoy the Millennium.
If you are a child of God and you die during the tribulation you will be resurrected after the tribulation and will reign with Christ during the Millennium.
Four Winds of Heaven
Daniel 8:8 and Daniel 11:4 also says that after the kingdom is broken the US will be divided toward the “four winds of heaven“. If you do a search in the Bible for the phrase “four winds of heaven” or “four winds of the heaven” you will find the phrase relates to everywhere or globally.
It sounds like the four sections that stand up for the United States are divided TOWARD a global organization, like the United Nations. The “four winds of heaven” may represent global organization, the United Nations.
One section of the United Nations, called the Trusteeship Council has in the past taken over countries torn apart by war or conflict. It may be that the Trusteeship Council takes over for the United States after the rapture until it can get back on it’s feet economically.
It says in Daniel 8:8 that four notable countries come up for the United States. The four countries that are the strongest economically in Europe are Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, and France. These are possibly the four that come up for the US to help it get back on it’s feet economically after the rapture. All four are in the European Union and all would like to benefit from the United States economically after the rapture has happened.

Daniel 8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
Four world powers – Four Beasts
Daniel chapter 7 talks about four beasts that come up from the sea.
These four beasts get together to serve a purpose before the rapture happens but probably continues to some extent after the rapture takes place.
These four “beasts” together are functioning as the “Quartet” to bring peace via the Road Map to the Israel – Palestinian conflict.
Daniel 7:17 tells us the interpretation of the four beasts.
Daniel 7:3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
Daniel 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
For Immediate Release Office of the Press Secretary
December 20, 2002 2:31 P.M. EST THE PRESIDENT:
“The Vice President and I are honored to welcome the Quartet Principals to the Oval Office. I want to thank you all for coming. I appreciate so very much your working with us to move the Israeli-Palestinian issue forward to a peaceful resolution of what has been a longstanding conflict.”
In December of 2002 the President of the United States invited world power organizations to the White House to discuss the “road map to peace” for the Middle East Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
These world powers together include the “Quartet” the United States, Russia, the European Union, and the United Nations.
I believe these four world powers are represented by the four beasts in Daniel chapter 7 that come up out of the sea. These four world powers, distinctly different from each other, are now united together in order to promote the plan to bring calm to the Palestinian – Israeli conflict.
Next we will take a closer look at each of the four “beasts”.
