Bible Study The Theology of the Antichrist

The Theology of the Antichrist


For all those wondering how could the Antichrist succeed when the bible, especially the Book of Revelation, portrays the Antichrist as the antithesis of Jesus Christ who died on the cross and was resurrected.



Consider that the Antichrist will center around the rebuilt Temple.



Today the Temple is only a ruin of the Old Temple that existed during Christ's time on earth (hint: today's Western Wall).



What the Antichrist will say is that the Old Temple ruins are the 'vine' and the New Temple, that will be built on top of the old temple ruins to complete an exact replica, will be the 'graft' of a branch.



So, in effect, the new rebuilt Temple will represent mankind trying to graft the 'New Covenant' (hint: branch) into the 'Old Covenant' (hint:vine)!. This will be the theology of the Antichrist!


Remember that any person who believes in the Antichrist and receives the mark of the beast (hint: 666) will be damned forever in hell! (hint: the Lake of Fire)



Believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and rest assured that you'll be taken out of this world (hint: the Rapture) just before the Antichrist appears to deceive the whole world!



God Bless

There never will be a third temple built.

Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Israel (those who follow after Judaism seeking other gods) lost there right to be called Gods chosen people, but God did save a generational remnant out of the 12 tribes who have always been faithful to God in their obedience to His commandments, 1Kings 9:1-9; Rev 7. God’s judgment against them led them to be captured, 605 – 537 B.C., by Nebuchadnezzar and taken into Babylon for seventy years while Nebuchadnezzar’s army killed many Jews in Judah and Jerusalem destroying the whole city of Jerusalem including the first Temple that was built through King Solomon’s reign in Jerusalem.

The second Temple was built under Ezra’s leadership and Israel continued practicing Judaism and their Temple was desecrated as part of an effort to impose Greek-oriented culture and customs on the entire population. Roman rule refurbished the temple as Herod, Romans vassal king, rules the land of Israel. In 70 A.D. the Temple is once again destroyed. The Temple Mount was taken over in 691 A.D. as the Arab nation built the Dome of the Rock and there has not been any other Temple built since that time on the original Temple Mount.

Rev 13 the beast (revived Babylonian Empire) rises up out of the sea as the sea here is symbolic of people and nations as in a sea of humanity, Daniel Chapter 7:1-8; Revelation 17:15. This beast out of the sea gives power to the beast out of the earth who is the son of perdition/false prophet the last antichrist, 2Thessalonians 2:3-12 who will declare a peace treaty, 1Thessalonians 5:1-5, with the Arab nations and will be given the refurbished (being refurbished now) Dome of the Rock (Temple Mount) where he will sit on his throne to rule over the nations. This is the abomination that causes desolation that Daniel spoke of in Daniel Chapter 7 and that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24:15,16.
