Rise of the Antichrist

Revelation 6:1–6
1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of
the seals; and I heard one of the four living
creatures saying with a voice like thunder,
“Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and behold,
a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow;
and a crown was given to him, and he went
out conquering and to conquer. 3 When He
opened the second seal, I heard the second
living creature saying, “Come and see.”

Revelation 6:1–6
4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it
was granted to the one who sat on it to take
peace from the earth, and that people should
kill one another; and there was given to him
a great sword. 5 When He opened the third
seal, I heard the third living creature say,
“Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a
black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair
of scales in his hand.

Revelation 6:1–6
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the
four living creatures saying, “A quart of
wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of
barley for a denarius; and do not harm the
oil and the wine.”

1 John 4:3–4 And this is the spirit of the
Antichrist, which you have heard was
coming, and is now already in the world. 4
You are of God, little children, and have
overcome them, because He who is in you
is greater than he who is in the world.
1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour;
and as you have heard that the Antichrist is
coming, even now many antichrists have
come, by which we know that it is the last
hour.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
“Now we beseech you, brethren,
by the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and by our gathering
together unto him, that ye be not
soon shaken in mind, or be
troubled, neither by spirit, nor by
word, nor by letter as from us,
as that the day of Christ is at
hand.”

“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; who
opposes and exalts himself above
all that is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God sits
in the temple of God, showing
himself that he is God.”

Revelation 13:1–2 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. 2 Now the beast which I saw was
like a leopard, his feet were like the feet
of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth
of a lion. The dragon gave him his
power, his throne, and great authority.

Revelation 13:3-4 And I saw one of his heads as
if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly
wound was healed. And all the world marveled
and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the
dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they
worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the
beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

Revelation 13:2, 5-6
2 …The dragon gave him his power, his
throne, and great authority.
5And he was given a mouth speaking
great things and blasphemies, and he was
given authority to continue for forty-two
months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in
blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His
name, His tabernacle, and those who
dwell in heaven.
1260 days, 42 months

Revelation 13:7
It was granted to him to make war
with the saints and to overcome them.
And authority was given him over
every tribe, tongue, and nation.

Matthew 28:18–20 And Jesus came and spoke
to them, saying, “All authority has been given to
Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and
make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all
things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am
with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Amen.

Revelation 13:9-10
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 He who
leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he
who kills with the sword must be killed with the
sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the
saints.

he…causes the earth and those who dwell in it

13 he performs great signs

Revelation 13:11-16

44 You are of your father the devil,
and the desires of your father you
want to do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and does not
stand in the truth, because there is
no truth in him. When he speaks a
lie, he speaks from his own
resources, for he is a liar and the
father of it.

John 14:6 Jesus said, “I am the way,
the truth, and the life. No one comes
to the Father except through Me.

Revelation 19:11–16 Now I saw heaven opened, and
behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was
called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He
judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of
fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a
name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He
was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His
name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in
heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean,
followed Him on white horses.

Revelation 19:11–16 15 Now out of His mouth goes a
sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations.
And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He
Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and
wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and
on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS

8 Again, the devil took Him up on an
exceedingly high mountain, and
showed Him all the kingdoms of the
world and their glory. 9 And he said to
Him, “All these things I will give You
if You will fall down and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with
you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall
worship the LORD your God, and Him
only you shall serve.’ ”
Matthew 4:8-10

(Rev. 13:1b-2)
“ten horns and seven heads”
7 heads = 7 empires (17:9f)
fallen = Egypt/Assyria/Babylon/Persia/Greece
one is = Rome
other has not yet come = revived Rome

Arnold Toynbee:
“We are ripe for the deifying of any new
Caesar who might succeed in giving the
world unity and peace.”

Strobe Talbott, our Deputy Secretary
of State, believes that the United States
will not exist in its present form in the
21st Century -because nationhood
throughout the world will become
obsolete!1
"Within the next hundred years ... nationhood as we
know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a
single, global authority," Talbott declared in an
essay in Time magazine.2

Rev. 17:11-12 And there are seven kings: five are fallen,
and one is (6th), and the other (7th) is not yet come; and
when he comes, he must continue a short space. And the
beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth (8th), and
is of the seven (7th), and goes into perdition.

A major element of the end
times Roman Empire will be
a group of 10 kings.

Hal Lindsey wrote of a
“ten nation confederacy of
European nations”
(Late Great Planet Earth, 1970)
John Walvoord anticipated
the “formation of the revived
Roman Empire composed of
a ten-nation confederacy.”
(1967)

John
MacArthur
“He’s the leader of a
revived Roman Empire,
a western European
confederacy.”

John 12:31
Now is the judgment of this world;
now the ruler of this world will be
cast out.

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD’s, and all its
fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.
Daniel 7:27 Then the sovereignty, power and
greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven
will be handed over to the holy people of the
Most High. His kingdom will be an
everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will
worship and obey him.’

His Universal Worship (Rev. 13:3b-4)
• amazed (Lk. 8:25; 11:14; 2 Thess. 1:10)
• followed after the beast
• worshipped the dragon & the beast
• “Who is like the beast…?” (10x of
God)

All who dwell on the earth will
worship him, whose names have not
been written in the Book of Life of
the Lamb slain from the foundation
of the world.
Revelation 13:8

Philippians 2:8–11 And being found in
appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and
became obedient to the point of death, even the
death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly
exalted Him and given Him the name which is
above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of
those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and
that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Revelation 17 – Religious Babylon
Revelation 18 – Economic Babylon
Revelation 19:20 Then the beast was
captured, and with him the false prophet
who worked signs in his presence, by
which he deceived those who received the
mark of the beast and those who
worshiped his image. These two were cast
alive into the lake of fire burning with
brimstone.

Revelation 19:6 And I heard, as it were, the
voice of a great multitude, as the sound of
many waters and as the sound of mighty
thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God
Omnipotent reigns!”
Revelation 22:5 There shall be no night there:
They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the
Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign
forever and ever.
