Welcome to our Christianity Oasis Prepare for End Times Bible study program. This is our very popular guest favorite and fascinating and extremely intriguing ... The Antichrist Bible study quest for truth and searching through all of the, who is Antichrist Scripture and determining how it affects Christians. The heart thumping and thought provoking Antichrist Bible study with Antichrist Scripture message within this will truly enhance your Christian walk.
Welcome back to the End Times study ... I truly hope you are reading along in your Bible with the
End Times study as to KNOW the TRUTH. We will now find out who Antichrist
will be, by finding out who Antichrist was before he died, and was brought back from the
dead.
The Bible gives us the clues that we need to figure out who he
was ... And who he will be. In the book of
Revelation, Chapter 1, it says ... I, John,
was given this vision ...
He was on an island named Patmos, so this vision occurred in about 90 AD. Close to two thousand years ago.
Let's keep this in
mind as we look into the scripture about Antichrist within the Antichrist Bible study with who is Antichrist Scripture.
|
Revelation17:8-11
The beast that thou
sawest was, and is not;
and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit,
and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder,
whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of
the world, when they behold
the beast that was,
and
is not,
and yet is.
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven
mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings:
five are fallen,
and one is,
and the other is not yet
come;
and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And
the beast that was,
and is not,
even he is the eighth, and is of the seven,
and goeth into perdition. |
Now put on your thinking cap ...
Antichrist
WAS
alive
and is not alive
and yet is.
He says that there are 7 kings ...
5 have fallen
and
1 is
and that
1 is yet to be.
Then, he says
...
Antichrist is the 8th king and yet is ONE of the
7 ...
This means that as of 90 AD, Antichrist
had already been alive.
Antichrist was alive before 90 AD
and was one of the 5 fallen kings.
But, which one?
Before we begin our quest ... You may be saying to yourself ... "Let me
get this straight. Antichrist was dead and will come alive again?"
The
answer is YES.
That is exactly what the Bible is saying.
How can we doubt the possibility? With the advancement in
DNA science and the cloning
of animals and even the talk of cloning
people. With all of the advanced technology we have now and will have
soon ... Who can doubt this Biblical claim?
Our The Antichrist Bible study journey to find the TRUTH will take us back
and forth through time and who is Antichrist Scripture. We will use the Bible as a road map. We will begin back
around 587 BC when a king of Babylon (Nebuchadnezzar) had a nightmare.
He dreamed of a statue and his dream was interpreted by a prophet of
God, named Daniel.
|
Daniel
2:32-34
This image's head was of
fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his
thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part
of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands,
which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay,
and brake them to pieces. |
Daniel is answering the king's strange
request for someone to tell him what his dream was and what it meant.
Daniel told him that the king's dream was of a great statue with a gold
head, chest and arms of silver, belly and thighs of brass, legs of iron
and feet of iron and clay. Daniel told of a stone cut without hands that will hit the feet
of the statue and all the parts were destroyed
together
...
|
Daniel 2:35
Then was the iron, the
clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces
together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors;
and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them:
and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and
filled the whole earth. |
Daniel interprets the dream for
us in ...
|
Daniel 2:36-37
This is the dream; and we
will tell the interpretation thereof before the
king. Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God
of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and
strength, and glory.
|
He says that Nebuchadnezzar's empire
Babylon
was the gold head. That after him another empire
would arise
Medo Persia
which is the silver and the next empire
Greece
which is the brass and the 4th empire would be
Rome
which was the iron.
|
Daniel 2:38-40
And wheresoever the
children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of
the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler
over them all. Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall
arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom
of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth
kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in
pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all
these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. |
(Note: These are the countries that DID become
the major power in history, as Daniel predicted many years before it
occurred.)
Let us continue along in the Antichrist Bible study. Daniel said the last empire, which was made of iron and
clay would be a divided kingdom and would be part strong and part broken. They
shall not cleave to one another. In the days of this empire, God will
destroy it and set up an everlasting Kingdom.
|
Daniel 2:41-45
And whereas thou sawest
the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the
kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength
of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry
clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of
clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall
mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave
one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. And in the
days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom,
which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left
to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all
these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou
sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands,
and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the
silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king
what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and
the interpretation thereof sure.
|
Now we KNOW that God has not destroyed this
kingdom as of yet, because God has not set up His everlasting Kingdom, YET.
So, this part iron and clay, 10 unit (10 toes)
empire, is in our future and you will find out, that it is
Antichrist's empire.
Again while searching for who is Antichrist Scripture, in
Daniel, Chapter 7, Daniel himself had a dream of 4 beasts ... A lion,
bear, leopard and an iron toothed beast.
Antichrist's empire
is compared to the same beasts ...
|
Revelation 13:2
And the beast which I saw
was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear,
and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his
power, and his seat, and great authority. |
This beast had 10 horns.
|
Daniel 7:1-7
In the first year of
Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his
head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of
the matters. Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night,
and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great
sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from
another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I
beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up
from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's
heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to
a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs
in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus
unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. 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. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth
beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had
great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the
residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the
beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. |
Among the 10 horns came up another smaller horn
and it plucked up 3 of the 10 horns. This little horn had eyes like a
man and spoke great things.
|
Daniel 7:8
I considered the horns, and,
behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom
there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and,
behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth
speaking great things.
|
Daniel's dream is interpreted for
us ... Let's better understand this as we sojourn further into the Antichrist Bible study quest for truth.
|
Daniel 7:16-27
I came near unto one of them
that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me,
and made me know the interpretation of the things. These great
beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of
the earth. But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom,
and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. Then I
would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from
all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and
his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped
the residue with his feet; And of the ten horns that were in his
head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell;
even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great
things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and
the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against
them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to
the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints
possessed the kingdom. Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the
fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all
kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it
down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this
kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise
after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall
subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the
most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and
think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his
hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the
judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to
consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the Kingdom and
dominion, and the greatness of the Kingdom under the whole heaven,
shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose
Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and all dominions shall serve
and obey Him.
|
The 4 beasts are 4 kings which shall arise. Daniel asked about
the 4th beast with iron teeth, brass claws and 10 horns with the smaller
horn that came up.
|
Daniel 7:19-20
Then I would know the
truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others,
exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of
brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue
with his feet; And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of
the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that
horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things,
whose look was more stout than his fellows.
|
The small horn will make war with the
saints, but the saints would win in the end and God's Kingdom would be
set up.
Remember that we learned earlier in the Antichrist Bible study that Antichrist's
kingdom has 10 parts as well ... Let us research more who is Antichrist Scripture
|
Revelation 13:1
And I stood upon the sand
of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven
heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his
heads the name of blasphemy. |
|
Revelation 17:7
And the Angel said unto
me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of
the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the
seven heads and ten horns. |
|
Revelation 17:12-13
And the ten horns which
thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet;
but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one
mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. |
The 10 horns are 10 kings that will arise out of
this kingdom and the small horn shall be a king that comes up after them
and subdues 3 of the 10 kings.
|
Daniel 7:21-24
I beheld, and the same
horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until
the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of
the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the
kingdom. Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth
kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and
shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break
it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings
that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall
be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. |
He will reign for a time, times and dividing of a time (3½ years)
but then ...
God will destroy him.
|
Daniel 7:25-27
And he shall speak great
words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the
most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be
given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of
time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his
dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the
Kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the Kingdom under the
whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the
most High, whose Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and all
dominions shall serve and obey Him.
|
Now ... Let's take a look at what we have learned so far in our Antichrist Bible study seeking out, who is Antichrist Scripture ... It is clear, according to both dreams, that there are 4 empires and
then Antichrists empire. The 4 empires are
Babylon, Medo Persia, Greece and Rome.
Rome was the kingdom that was ruling during the
time the Revelation vision occurred.
So, the king that
WAS ...
|
Revelation 17:10-11
And there are
seven kings:
five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come;
and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that
was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. |
Had to be
BEFORE
the Roman
empire.
BUT WHICH ONE?
Now, there are seven kings mentioned ...
SO WHO ARE THE OTHER TWO?
These are all kingdoms which hated and harmed the Israelites.
What other two kingdoms BEFORE Babylon hated and persecuted Israel?
As we know from the Bible,
Egypt and Assyria
were the other two past empires that tormented Israel before
Babylon, Medo Persia, Greece and Rome.
This means that the 5 past empires, BEFORE
ROME, in order of their appearance on the timeline of life are ...
Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo Persia, and Greece.
This means that
Antichrist WAS a ruler from one of these 5 Kingdoms.
Note: Some of these countries have new names now.
The 5 countries names are now ... Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Greece.
Now what about the
seventh kingdom that hated and persecuted Israelites?
We will discuss the seventh kingdom (The one
after Rome) that tormented the Israelites on the next page. But before
we do that, let's continue our search for which one of the five past
rulers Antichrist was and died and will come back to life.
GET READY ... YOU ARE ABOUT TO
FIND OUT WHO ANTICHRIST WAS
In
Daniel, Chapter 11, it tells of Persia overtaking
Babylon and how Greece overtook Persia, by Alexander the great.
|
Daniel 11:3
And a mighty king shall
stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to
his will. |
Let's take a little Antichrist Bible study field trip. If you were to get an encyclopedia or History
book, you can confirm that Verses 4-20, have already occurred.
Then we are introduced to Antiochus Epiphanes, the most evil ruler
Israel has ever encountered. He did so much damage in fact, that when he
was finally conquered, the Israelites made an 8 day celebration that is still
carried out to this day.
It is called Hanukkah.
|
Daniel 11:21
And in his estate shall
stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of
the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the
kingdom by flatteries. |
As you read the prophecy
in this chapter regarding Antiochus Epiphanes, starting at Verse 21 and
ending at Verse 45, you will find a startling fact. This man died in the
history books and yet the Bible has the story continue on after.
Again ... History
has this man dying at this point in this chapter.
|
Daniel 11:36
And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself,
and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things
against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be
accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. |
Suddenly, Antiochus
is fighting against God and the story is suddenly OUR future, as if he died and comes back to life or
something ...
|
Daniel 11:37
Neither shall he regard
the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any
god: for he shall magnify himself above all. |
The Antichrist Bible study sharing who is Antichrist Scripture will prove that it is because he does come back to life, just as predicted in John's vision in ...
|
Revelation 17:8-11
The beast that thou sawest was, and
is not;
and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit,
and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder,
whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of
the world, when they behold
the beast that was,
and
is not, and yet is.
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven
mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings:
five are fallen,
and one is,
and the other is not yet
come;
and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And
the beast that was,
and is not,
even he is the eighth, and is of the seven,
and goeth into perdition. |
Antiochus was a ruler of
Greece and is one of the 5 past kings,
as is Antichrist. Antiochus also reigned terror
on Israel for 3½ years,
as will Antichrist, Antiochus set up an
abomination of desolation in the Temple,
as will Antichrist
... Both are called little horns in the Bible. Even his name
Antiochus
... How many people have ANTI as the first 4 letters of their name or
title?
Ladies and
gentlemen here is the Antichrist Bible study answer to who is Antichrist Scripture facts. Spiritually speaking ... Antiochus WILL BE Antichrist. As anti-Christian as he ever was and worse. Now, let us travel into the past in search for more
evidence on Antichrist's kingdom and find out what countries he will
control and what movements we should be watching for, as we prepare for
the End Times. Prepare to find out more as the Antichrist Bible study continues.
Let us find out what happens next, in our sojourning into the
End Times
