Satan as the Anti-christ

[warfrog]

You seem to have the 2 beast confused....

The first beast is a political system.


Revelation 13:1 "And I [John] stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy."
This is John's vision, and the sea that John is standing on and the beast is rising out of represents the masses of peoples of the world.

This symbol of the "sea" being people is documented in Revelation 17:15. This "sea", or masses of people are looking to this "beast" [political beast] as their peace system. The "seven heads" are seven dominions of the people, or seven continents of this world body; as even the activities and divisions at the North and South Poles are governed through the United Nations Charter. It covers the entire world land masses.

"Horns" are always symbolic of "power". These "ten horns" are ten agencies, or units of power flowing from this beast, or political system. These horns are the Military force, the world health organization, UNICEF for children, the world bank, the world court, and so on. This is very similar to the system of government given in Genesis 11, under Nimrod.

The second beast is satan...

Revelation 13:11 "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."

This beast coming up out of the earth looks like a Lamb [Jesus Christ], yet he speaks like a dragon; because he is the dragon [Satan]. He claims to be Jesus, and most Christians will believe him. He has plenty of sweet talk, blessings, wealth and what ever valued price you put on your soul, to sell your soul. Have you thought of what price you would put for your soul?

Revelation 13:12 "And he exerciseth all the power [authority] of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed."

Satan [the Antichrist] uses all the power and authority he has, because it is given to him by God. God allowed the "one worldism" to take place, because it is in God's plan. He gave us that plan, and that is what we are studying now. It is Satan that will cause the wounded political beast, "one world system" to come back together after it falls apart. Then that system, and all the people on the face of the earth will worship Satan. All, except the elect of God, and those sealed in their minds.

Revelation 13:13 "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men."
Satan will snap his fingers and lightning will come down from heaven. Satan will bring miracles, and supernatural wonders with him, and these wonders are given by God to perform the test the people of the world.

Revelation 13:14 "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles [signs] which he had power [it was given him] to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live."

This is the whole object for the great tribulation. "DECEPTION"! Satan is going to make an image of this "one world system" [religious beast] and breath life into system. Their will be something symbolic created within the system that will cause the whole world to bow. This reminds me of the "image" created in Babylon's "one world government" under king Nebuchadnezzar, in Daniel 3. At that time there were only three that would not bow to the image.

Revelation 13:15 "And he had power [it was given unto him] to give life [breath] unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
Satan while sitting in his temple in Jerusalem is given the power to assign his authority to the new religious beast, the "one world system. He has been given the control of all the people on the earth, and he will require them to worship him as god. Satan [the Antichrist] will require their respect, and he will give protection to them and his system. So both the system, and the Antichrist will demand the respect and worship of all people.
This is in reference to the two witnesses that will be killed, for the trouble they caused to Satan, the people of the earth, and Satan's religious system.
The moment the political beast is healed, it becomes a religious order, and set of moral codes and controls. It will be a copy of Christ's kingdom that will follow, however, it is a complete deception, and cheap imitation.



So in otherwards you speak no Greek nor Hebrew and are unwilling to consider what those who do have to say.....

No, the first beast is part of a political system but is also a man, the man of lawlessness, who recieves all power, throne and authority from the dragon, he is the little horn.
He is the one who exalts himself above God, speaks out againts God and all on earth who are not wirtten in the Book of Life of the Lamb will worship him, take his mark and worship his image.
The second beast will lure people in deceptively to take the mark and worship the image, he will have all the power of the first beast, which is the power of the dragon given to the first beast.
The first beast is the man of lawlessness, the second beast is the false prophet, the dragon is satan.

The 10 horns are kings who do not have power right now, but they recieve thier kingdom, thier power for an hour the sole purpose of giving it to the beast, the man of lawlessness.

Again the beast is not Satan, he recieves his power, thorne and authority from the dragon, the second beast is not granted any authority unless he is in the presence of the first beast which is granted all power, throne and authority from the dragon.

The beast and false prophet are captured and thrown into the lake of fire at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, they are the only ones cast into the fire, satan who is cast out of heaven is captured by an angel of God and bound and sealed in the bottomless pitt for a thousand years, then he must be released for a short time.
The rest are slain with the sword of Christ from his mouth.
Then we are shown the judgement seat and throne all of His will stand before and be judged, then we are shown the first resurrection and are told the rest of the dead, the ones who are killed with the sword of His mouth are not raised until the end of the thousand years and the short time of satan, which afterwards we are shown the great white throne judgement, the judgement of all the dead and the last judged is Death and is cast into the lake of fire.
Then we are shown that the new heaven and new earth are created and we are presented New Jerusalem and God the Father dwells with us.

Grace to you, peace from God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

How about you start using scripture because you are really messing the word up here..

The beast and false prophet are captured and thrown into the lake of fire at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, they are the only ones cast into the fire, satan who is cast out of heaven is captured by an angel of God and bound and sealed in the bottomless pitt for a thousand years, then he must be released for a short time.

What are you talking about? see this is what happens when we talk and dont let God speak.

Revelation 20:2 "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"

Satan was bound for a 1,000 years in verse 2....

Revelation 20:10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

This is verse 10...

Satan is bound and released before any mention of the lake of fire, your chronological order of events is backwards.

Revelation 20:2 "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"

Satan was bound for a 1,000 years in verse 2....

Revelation 20:10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

This is verse 10...

Satan is bound and released before any mention of the lake of fire, your chronological order of events is backwards.

Is it?
19:20
"Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he decieved those who recieved the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with thier flesh.

20:
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpant of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years; and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should decieve the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a short while."

Now we are shown the judgement of the saints, all in Him will be judged according to thier works in the body, good and bad.

20:4
"And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgement was commited to them."

And also presented in 2nd Corinthians 5:9-11 after which He speaks of the resurrection of His through Paul..

Which after the judgement we are shown what the saints, those who are gathered to Him must do next and here it is:

"Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for thier witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshipped the beast or his image, and had not recieved his mark on thier foreheads or on thier hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years."

And further in the same verses after speaking of the dead we are again told:

"This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall live and reign with Him a thousand years."

So we are shown directly right there in the prophecy the beast and false prophet will be cast into the fire prior to the thousand years even begining, because we are shown the dead in Christ during the beast's time, who did not worship him, his image or take the mark. And they live and reign with Christ for a thousand years.

Paul tells us when the resurrection occurs many times and that is at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ the beast and false prophet are cast into the lake of fire and Satan is bound.

Now we move on to the rest who were killed and this is what it says:

"But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished"

Which is the third resurrection Paul speaks of, when God creates a new heaven and earth, presents New Jerusalem and dwells with His and His forever and ever. Amen.
Just prior to this at the end of the short time of Satans release we are shown that resurrection, the resurrection of the dead, the resurrection of those His word is talking about i just posted "But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished" which are a part of the dead judged in the great white throne judgement along with all the dead from the begining.
The last enemy judged and cast into the lake of fire is Death, which is in that great white throne judgement of the dead in Rev 20:11-15 and which Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians 15:20-28

Grace to you, peace from God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

[Vic C.]

The "star" that falls to the earth is the star of Isaiah 14. The star is "Lucifer", who will be the Antichrist once he arrives on earth. Satan is given the key, or authority to the bottomless pit, for this is where Satan's fallen angels are held.

satan has the key to his own bottomless pit? Come on get with it! ...

--Elijah

I totally agree with you!

That is total nonsense and very, very bad exegesis. I pray people stop posting such errant interpretations.

 

[warfrog]

I totally agree with you!

That is total nonsense and very, very bad exegesis. I pray people stop posting such errant interpretations.

Apollyon is involved in the first woe, as with an unamed angel who has the key.

Lets present both angels mentioned, are they the same angel mentioned in the start and near the end?

Revelation 9:
"Then the fifth angel sounded: And i saw a star fallen from heaven to th earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit."

Now the mention of Apollyon near the end:
9:11
"And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek has the name Apollyon."

One angel is the angel with the key to the bottomless pit and Apollyon or Abaddon is the angel of the bottomless pit, are they one and the same or two different angels?

Now I will show the woes and why Satan cant be cast out yet during the fifth seal, which mentions Apollyon or Abaddon.

Revelation 8:13
"And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!"

Revelation 9:1-12
Is the fifth trumpet speaking of Apollyon and what transpires, lets look at what is said at the end of the fifth trumpet in 9:12
"One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things"

Now we jump to 11:11-14
The resurrection of the two witnesses and we go to verse 14
"The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly."

Now move to the next woe, the third woe
Revelations 12:7-12
It speaks of the dragon being cast out of heaven, now look at verse 12:
"Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has short time."

So how can Satan be cast out of heaven on the third woe but be already be cast out on the first woe?
He is cast out on the third woe, the woes follow in order, first woe, the fifth trumpet, 2nd woe the resurrection of the two witnesses and the events that occur at that time, the third woe, Satan cast out of heaven to the earth and the events that follow.

Now lets move to the binding of Satan and notice who has the key to the bottomless pit.

Revelations 20:1
"Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand"

So who is this angel? is it the angel who has the key to the bottomless pit in the fifth trumpet?
Is it Apollyon who is the angel of the bottomless pit?
Or is it a new angel who holds the key to the bottomless pit after the war in heaven?


Grace to you, peace from God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

So how can Satan be cast out of heaven on the third woe but be already be cast out on the first woe?
He is cast out on the third woe, the woes follow in order, first woe, the fifth trumpet, 2nd woe the resurrection of the two witnesses and the events that occur at that time, the third woe, Satan cast out of heaven to the earth and the events that follow.

satan is the one that kills the two witnesses,so he can't be cast out afterwards....

 

[warfrog]

satan is the one that kills the two witnesses,so he can't be cast out afterwards....

Really, so that mortal wound the beast had wasnt really mortal, and the whole world didnt marvel after the beast because his mortal wound was healed.

It actually isnt Satan, its the beast he gives his power, throne and great authority to, the one with the mortal head would that is healed, who ascends out of the bottomless pit, makes war with them and at the return of Christ is sent to perdition, that is, the lake of fire, with the false prophet.

The beast will claim himself as God, you tell me how you would go about showing the entire world you were God and have them believe you, how about die and come back to life, have all kinds of power, destroy everyone who get in your way, grant power to someone close to you just like you have been given, slay 2 men that have seemingly had the power of God before the whole earth killing people with the word of thier mouth when thier attacked and turning waters to blood, stopping rain and striking areas of earth with plagues in front of men to witness it, and you come around, back to life with all signs and lying wonders and kill these guys, pretty convincing to me if i didnt know the Lord.
He aint just going to claim hes God, hes going to decieve the whole world not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb, he is.

Grace to you, peace from God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Your not understanding who the beast is......

There are two beasts spoken of in the thirteenth chapter of the book of Revelation. The first beast [Rev 13:1-10] is the emerging one-world political/religious system that we see gaining strength and power at a breakneck speed in our present generation. This confederacy of all the world's Nations, Educational systems (Media), Monetary systems, and most importantly the Religions will be in effect under the rule of one Governing body. This will make it possible for the antichrist to step in, take the reins, and assume control of most every soul on the planet. This antichrist is the second beast of Revelation chapter thirteen, and he is satan himself, who comes first before Jesus Christ's Second Advent, and he claims to be the True prophesied Messiah.

The second beast [Rev 13:11-18] is satan himself in his role as the antichrist. The word 'antichrist,' in the Greek language that the book of revelation was written in, does not mean what it means in our English language. It does not mean 'the prevention of' as in antifreeze. But rather it means 'instead of' as in an imposter. The word antichrist in the Greek language is antichristos (an-tee'-khris-tos), and it is composed of two words, the second word Christos (khris-tos') you recognize as Christ. But the first word anti (an-tee') has a very revealing definition, it means 'instead of' or 'a substitution' for something. When this prefix is used of a person it means that he is an imposter to whomever the prefix anti is attached to. In this case (anti-Christ); he is an imposter to Christ:

​

 

[n2thelight]

Satan has many many names, I could pull at least 10 off the top of my head and probably another 4-5 with some searching. These names are ‘roles’ of the same one entity. You remember in (Rev chpt.17) where it is talking about satan and his many roles, but it is the same one entity:

Rev 17:9-11
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. (KJV)
​

Who is the only one by name that has already been judged to perdition? Satan is:

Ezek 28:18-19
18 Thou[king of Tyrus - satan] hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. [perished completely, perdition] (KJV)
​

Satan is the king of Babylon: "MYSTERY BABYLON" {Rev 17:5}. Look at it this way, Jesus has many names and roles but there is only one Jesus Christ (“Bread of Life”, “Lamb slain”, “King of kings and Lord of lords”, ...). And in (Rev chpt. 2 &3), in the preface to each message to the seven churches we see different names and roles for Jesus. Well, for every positive in the Word of God there is a negative.

Let’s follow satan through the end times and observe the destruction of him one role at a time until there is nothing left - perished, the son of perdition.

Rev 19:14-20
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. [This is the Second Advent]
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast [2nd beast of (Rev 13:11) antichrist], and the kings of the earth [1st beast of (Rev 13:1-3). The one world political/religious luciferian system (NWO)], and their armies, gathered together to make war against him [Jesus] that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast [1st beast of (Rev 13:1-3). The one world political/religious luciferian system (NWO)] was taken, and with him the false prophet [2nd beast of (Rev 13:11) antichrist] that wrought miracles before him [‘It’ In the Greek language (the original language of the New Testament), he, she, and it are all the same word, the value of the word comes from the context of the passage], with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [from this point on, satan no longer has the cover of appearing as the impostor christ antichrist. And he does not have his one-world system either] (KJV)
​

You have to remember, at Jesus Christ’s return at His Second Advent, all are changed into spiritual bodies. That has happened in our above Scripture.

The next event regarding satan is his binding in the Bottomless Pit for the Millennium (1000 year period):

Rev 20:2-3
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. (KJV)
​

After the Millennium, satan is released for a short time and then he is completely destroyed in the Lake of Fire by God Himself.

Rev 20:10
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (KJV)
​

Satan is now almost altogether gone, he still has one more role to die, that being ‘death’, for death is one of satan’s many many names:

Heb 2:14
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil (KJV)
​

Ok, then after Judgment Day, even death is destroyed:

Rev 20:14
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (KJV)
​

The Lake of Fire is used as metaphor for complete and total irreversible destruction, it isn’t a literal lake somewhere, it is the final sentence for the wicked, both wicked souls and wicked things, for all that offends shall be cast into the Lake of Fire.

And we have seen the one-world political system cast into the Lake of Fire, as well as several of satan’s roles. Flesh and blood cannot be cast into the Lake of Fire, for none enter therein until after Judgment Day. On Judgment Day all are in spiritual bodies. The Lake of Fire is what people commonly think they refer to when they say “hell”, but hell is a very misunderstood thing. Hell is not an eternal torture chamber, but an eternal blotting out. “Hell” so-called (the Lake of Fire) is the death of a soul, which is the second death. (I say “hell, so-called”, because in the Bible the word hell actually means the grave and/or the smoldering garbage pit outside of Jerusalem. It does paint the picture for us though, does it not?):

Rev 20:14
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (KJV)
​

You remember that there are two bodies within each of us, a flesh body and a spiritual body. The flesh body dies in the first death, and the spiritual body dies in the second (if you don’t overcome).

1 Cor 15:44
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. (KJV)

​

 

[Elijah674]

Why do these post allmost all come up 'teaching' that this is the way that it is!???
It is NO WONDER that God CALL's IT AS IT IS in Rev. 17:1-5. It is almost like Eve having her 'EYES WIDE OPEN' going to learn 'some' truth from satan himself. (which she did not know)

And this is NO PLACE for 'babes' in Christ! Psalms 19:13

--Elijah

He has given me understanding of who the beast is, you just dont understand who He gave me understanding of the beast is, the beast is both political and ruling and is also a man whos mortal wound is healed and is given Satans power, throne and great authority, and who the whole world marvels after and will call God (those not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb)

Grace to you, peace from God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

No man will have a mortal wound healed,satan does not and cannot give life,he takes it!!!

satan will not give his power to some mere man,that's all he wanted was to be God,and you think he will give that away,won't work.....

 

[Elijah674]

The anti-Christ will be Satan come to earth pretending to be God or Jesus performing miracles and deceiving the people of the world.

Scripture:

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (Isaiah 14)

And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Daniel 8:23-25)

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (2nd Thessalonians 2:3-4)

And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them, Woe to the inhibiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. (Revelation 13:13-14)

Although his spirit is already at work in the earth, there is a point in the future when Satan, along with his angels, is going to literally be kicked out of heaven and cast to the earth. That is when the last big deception will take place. Are you prepared? Daniel says he will come in peacefully and cause to prosper. Most are expecting a cruel, dictator type being, but what the actual deception will be is a great revival. He will claim to be Jesus. (The root word or etymology for Anti can mean instead of Christ. Here are the explanations in the Strong’s Greek Concordance: over against, opposite to, before, for, instead of, in place of something)

Revelation 13 says that he will deceive the world by performing miracles such as snapping his fingers and cause lightening to come down from heaven. This is why Jesus said in the gospel of Matthew, “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.” (Matthew 24:23-26)

Jesus spoke of that day when Satan shall be booted from heaven. Remember another of Satan’s names is the serpent. Jesus said he gives his followers power to tread on serpents. “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Luke 10:18-19

Hi, 'i' see Rev. 12 with satan having many names. (and already booted out of heaven & in the Garden of Eden in Gen.) And the Word even see's him (angels as spirits) using men. Gen. 4:7 was Cain being his first TOTAL convert.

He always has 'men' used for his work. Eze. 28 find no King of Tyrus that was ever in heaven, but satan himself! And Christ even spoke of Peter as being controled by satan. (get behind me satan)

SO?? satan has always had 'men + women' followers! When Christs 'ex/HOUSE' executed Christ, it was done through satan's power using Caesar. And as they cried out.. [WE HAVE NO KING BUT CAESAR], it was really the killing machine of satan who executed Christ! (church & state!) See Rev. 3:9 for what the last church of Rev. 3 Laodicea becomes!

So surely the LAST ANTICRIST will be satan's number one man! And who might that be??

It seems that some of the important ones on the site here are becoming bed/spiritual/partners with the person of Rev. 17:1? So 'i' will watch my bobber!;)

But if you want to know more, drop me an email & I will give you a site where I can post freely about apostate doctrines at will.
