Rev.# 45~13:5-10 THE ANTICHRIST 3-6-10
In chapter 13: as we have already stated the two worst people in all of human history appear on the scene. They are called “beasts.” They are not animals; they are called beasts because of the cruelty of their reign.
God don’t see him as a man, made in the divine image of God, but as a wild animal, under the control of Satan.
He is a man but he is energized from hell, for he comes out of the pit, we’re told this two times.
11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. {Moses and Elijah}.
17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit,---
We believe that Judas Iscariot will be brought out of his own place {acts1:} when the Lord is ready to use him again and will be embodied in this European leader who will form a ten-nation federation, but be slain in the process, and even this is for a purpose.
Jesus said in
John 6:70-71 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
This will cause the earth dwellers to worship the devil, some thing he’s always wanted, the devil impresses the world, he has raised this man from the dead {with Gods permission} and the earth dwellers will believe that this man is really a super man, people will be completely sold on him as such a great power.
John said in;
Rev.13:3-4 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
The devil knows that he only has only a short time at this point before Jesus Christ will return to earth to set up His Kingdom so he is going to do as much damage as he can in what time he has remaining.
Ø This will be the time of Demonism at its peak throughout the earth.
I want to say something right here, have you noticed how many of these so-called “paranormal” shows they have on TV today? They have these so called investigators setting up their equipment trying to catch some thing unusual, and some time they do.
And then they’ll do a back ground history check of such and such a place and find out that there was some kind of tragic death there, and then they’ll say that it’s the spirit of that deceased person that was not able to cross over, or some thing like that.
The only thing wrong with that is, when a person dies, he or she goes right then to their final destination, there’s no such thing as not being able to cross over, a saved person goes immediately to Paradise to be with the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.---notice; absent from the body and present with the Lord.--
And when a lost person dies he or she goes immediately to hell, he probably wishes he could stay here but the Bible is clear.
Luke 16:-22-23- the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments,--no staying around a while, but as soon as he dies, he’s there.
But Demons will imitate deceased people at times to keep people involved in such as this, its all-demonic activity, please remember that.
They’ll often times get a so called priest to come in and do some kind of ritual and the demon will leave, this keeps these people involved with Catholicism. It’s the work and plan of the devil.
----------------------------
If we’re saved we have nothing to fear.
1 John 4: 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.
I’ve said all that to say this, all such as this is getting people minds programmed for the take over of the antichrist once the True church has been taken away.

Ø This is the period prophesied by Paul in
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12
8And 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: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love **{1st jn.4:8} of the truth**{jn.14:6} that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:**{Rev.13:14 deceiving miracles} 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
