Antichrist: The Biblical Data
Christians believe that before the Second Coming a man will arise who will
succeed in uniting virtually all of humanity in a world system to be composed of a single
religion, a single government and a single economy. He will blaspheme the Creator and work
to deceive every person on this earth into accepting him and rejecting Jesus Christ.
Despite his evil intent he will use seemingly good causes to become loved and even
worshiped by many, and he will achieve power and respect through his ability to perform
miracles, signs and wonders.
Scriptures
Revelation 13:4-8
Men worshiped the dragon [Satan] because he had given authority to the
beast [the Antichrist], and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is
like the beast? Who can make war against him?" The beast was given a mouth to utter
proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months. He opened
his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who
live in heaven. He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And
he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of
the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of
life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.
Revelation 13:16-17
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to
receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell
unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
2 Thessalonians 2:4
He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is
worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan
displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of
evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the
truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they
will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but
have delighted in wickedness.
Daniel 11:36
The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god
and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the
time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place.
