29 CHARACTERISTICS OF ANTICHRIST

When people think about antichrist, they only tend to look at the English word itself, "ANTI-Christ" and place the meaning of this as someone who is a direct and open enemy of Jesus Christ. Someone who is 'against' Christ. And thus they fail to see the deeper, original meaning of this word in the original Bible language.

'anti' in the original Greek also has a meaning of 'instead of' or 'in place of'

So the Bible antichrist isn't just someone who opposed to Christ and His ways. It is someone who puts themselves IN PLACE OF Jesus Christ. Now we know that Satan is the ultimate antichrist, as he is the one who leads the rebellion against Christ, and tries to put himself in place of God and of Jesus. The Bible even confirms this about satan:

Isaiah 14:12-14

So satan's main goal was to be IN THE PLACE OF God and of God's Son, Jesus Christ. And this is the same thinking that satan has placed in his antichrist system that the Bible reveals. So we have satan as the main antichrist, but we also have an antichrist system that satan set up on earth to TAKE THE PLACE OF Jesus Christ on earth. The following 29 characteristic reveal just what that antichrist [IN PLACE OF- Christ] system is.

The Little Horn of Daniel 7

1 - The fourth beast from which the little horn comes from is the 'fourth [world] kingdom' upon the earth (Daniel 7:23). This is the same kingdom as the iron legs on Nebuchadnezzar's image, which is ROME. So the little horn comes from the nation of the old Roman Empire.

2 - The little horn comes up AMONG the other ten horns of the 'Roman' beast (Daniel 7:8). Meaning the little horn power comes into existence during the time that Roman Empire split into the ten kingdoms of Europe and rise to power after the split.

3 - The little horn is a 'LITTLE' horn (Daniel 7:8). Meaning it is specifically a 'little' kingdom.

4 - The little horn is 'different' from the other ten horns (kingdoms) of Europe (Daniel 7:24).

5 - The little horn has three of the other horns 'plucked up by the roots' (Daniel 7:8). Meaning the little horn kingdom had 3 of the original kingdoms of Europe completely destroyed.

6 - The little horn 'speaks great things against God' (Daniel 7:25).

7 - The little horn persecutes the saints of God for a time, times and half a time (Daniel 7:25). Meaning the little horn kingdom persecutes the true believers in Jesus Christ for 1260 (prophetic) days. Which are 1260 literal years.

8 - The little horn 'thinks to change times and laws' (Daniel 7:25). Meaning this kingdom thinks it has the authority to change God's set times and laws.

9 - The little horn 'magnifies himself to the Prince of host' (Daniel 811). Meaning this little kingdom exalts itself like satan by putting itself IN PLACE OF Christ on earth.

10 - The little horn 'casts the place of the sanctuary down' and 'casts truth to the ground' and 'tramples upon the sanctuary and host' (Daniel 8:11-14). Meaning this little kingdom replaces the Heavenly sanctuary services performed by our High Priest, Jesus Christ with its own service and it's own priests on earth. This little kingdom also tramples upon the truth and causes error to prosper.

11 - The little horn's 'power shall be mighty, but not by it's own power' (Daniel 8:24). Meaning this little kingdom does not have any power itself to conquer. It uses the power of other nations to help it do it's 'dirty work'.

There is only one kingdom that matches these characteristics perfectly, and that is the...................of Rome. 1 - The Papacy arose from the Roman Empire. 2 - The Papacy rose to power after the Roman Empire split up into the ten original kingdoms of Europe. 3 - The Papacy based at the Vatican in Rome is it's own country in the world. 4 - The Papal power was different from the other kingdoms of Europe in that it was a combined religious and political kingdom. 5 - The Papacy had 3of the original kingdoms of Europe (Heruli, Vandals and Ostrogoths) destroyed. As these were Arian tribes that opposed the teachings of Papal Rome. 6 - The Papacy has made great boasts and spoken very proud things throughout history that is against God. 7 - The Papal............ of Rome persecuted God's people and reigned over the kings of the earth for 1260 years between 538 AD and 1798. 8 - The Papal ....... has thought to change God's set time, which is the 7th day sabbath and replaced it with SUN-day sabbath (1st day). Also the Papal.......... has thought to change God's laws by doing away with the 2nd commandment to do with idols - amongst other things. 9 - The Papacy magnifies itself and places the pope as equal with God. John Paul ll once stated the pope is 'IN PLACE OF Christ' on earth (crossing the Threshold of Hope, p. 3, 1994). 10 - The Papacy has replaced the priestly service that Jesus Christ does in heaven (see Hebrews 8 and 9) with it's own priestly service, telling people that the priests can forgive sins. 11- The Papacy has no power of it's own to rule. Instead it relies upon the power of other nations.

The Man of Sin

12 - The man of sin is called 'the son of perdition' (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Judas was the only other person to be called this.

13 - The man of sin 'sits in the temple of God professing to be like God ' (2 Thessalonians 2:4). Meaning the man of sin sits in a leadership position in 'the professed..........' acting like he is god.

There is only one man who matches this description perfectly, and that is the pope(s) of the .................... of Rome.

12 - Judas was also called 'the son of perdition' (John 17:12). So calling the man of sin by this name also, means the man of sin would be like Judas - A DECEIVER FROM WITHIN THE CHURCH. 13 - The pope (s) sit in the Roman .................... acting like he is god on earth giving out indulgences to forgive sins, which only our Heavenly Father can do and being called 'holy Father' a title which only our Heavenly Father has (Mark 10:18).

'Antichrist' in 1John

14 - John confirms in John 2 that those who were antichrist professed to be followers of Jesus, but 'went out' from the TRUE church and revealed themselves to not be true followers of the Lord.

14 - The leader of the Roman................ profess to be followers of Jesus, but they have made manifest that they 'went out from' the TRUTH church and it's true original teachings to follow after heresy and Pagan traditions.

Sea Beast of Revelation 13

15 - The beast rises up of the sea (Revelation 13:1). Meaning it rises up among many nations, tongues and people (Revelation 17:15).

16 - The dragon gives the beast it's 'seat and authority' (Revelation 13:2). Revelation 12 confirms that the dragon is satan and also the nation of Pagan Rome (it was Pagan Rome who tried to kill the 'man child', Jesus Christ).

17 - The beast would receive a 'mortal wound' which would be healed (Revelation 13:3). Meaning this kingdom would be conquered at some stage, and lose his power. But would then be received into a power again.

18 - All the world would 'wonder after the beast' (Revelation 13:3). Meaning exactly as it says. The WHOLE WORLD would follow after the beast and the beast would lead the nations.

19 - The beast 'continues for forty two months' (Revelation 13:5). Meaning it would rule for 1260 (prophetic days), which are 1260 literal years. Same as the little horn power.

Again, the Papacy is the only kingdom that matches the sea beast perfectly. 15 - The Papacy rose up in Europe amongst many nations, tongues and people. 16 - The Papacy received it's 'seat and power' from the old Roman Empire, and ultimately from satan himself. 17 - The Papacy received a 'mortal wound' in 1798 when the French army marched into Rome and captured the pope and the Papacy lost it's control and power. But then in 1929 Mussolini granted state power back to the Vatican and the deadly wound began to heal. 18 - Is the world 'wondering after' the pope and the Papal Church of Rome today? YES! 19 - This is the same time as the little horn power, which is 1260 years. The Papacy ruled the world between 538AD and 1798.
