"The Model Church”

Contributed by Charles R. Swindoll on Sep 13, 2006

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 13, 2024

Revelation 13 gives us a detailed picture of Satan's counterfeit Messiah, whom the Scriptures call the Antichrist. He is "the Man of Sin" who will delude the whole world into following him with horrific consequences and eternal regret.

Revelation 13 gives us the description and work of the prophesied Antichrist. The Bible describes this agent of Satan as "the man of sin" (2 Thessalonians 2:3) and "the Son of Perdition". He will be the worst blasphemer, the worst hater of God, the worst dictator, the worst ...read more
