Who is the AntiChrist?

What are the Characteristics of the AntiChrist?
This is not an exhaustive list, but I believe it is a great start to begin to understand who this Antichrist of the Last Days will be like.  Let me know if you have any more to add!
1. He comes from among ten kings in the restored Roman Empire; his authority will have similarities to the ancient Babylonians, Persians, and Greeks [Daniel 7:24; Rev 13:2 / Daniel 7:7]2. He will subdue three kings [Daniel 7:8, 24]

3. He is different from the other kings [Daniel 7:24]

4. He will rise from obscurity…a “little horn” [Daniel 7:8]

5. He will speak boastfully [Daniel 7:8; Rev 13:5]

6. He will blaspheme God, [Daniel 7:25; 11:36; Rev 13:5] slandering His Name, dwelling place, and departed Christians and Old Testament saints [Rev 13:6]

7. He will oppress the saints and be successful for 3 ½ years [Daniel 7:25; Rev 13:7]

8. He will try to change the calendar, perhaps to define a new era, related to himself [Daniel 7:25]

9. He will try to change the laws, perhaps to gain an advantage for his new kingdom and era
[Dan 7:25]

10. He will not be succeeded by another earthly ruler, but by Christ [Daniel 7:26-27]

11. He will confirm a covenant with “many”, i.e. the Jewish people [Daniel 9:27]
This covenant will likely involve the establishment of a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem
[see Dan 9:27; Matt 24:15]

12. He will put an end to Jewish sacrifice and offerings after 3 ½ years and will set up an abomination to God in the Temple [Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15]

13. He will not answer to a higher earthly authority; “He will do as he pleases”[Daniel 11:36]

14. He will show no regard for the religion of his ancestors [Daniel 11:37]

15. He will not believe in any god at all [except for himself] [Daniel 11:37]

16. He will have “no regard for the desire of women”: He will either be asexual or homosexual
[Dan 11:37]

17. He will claim to be greater than any god [Daniel 11:37; 2 Thess 2:4]

18. He will claim to be God [2 Thessalonians 2:4]

19. He will only honor a “god” of the military. His whole focus and attention will be on his military. He will conquer lands and distribute them [Daniel 11:39-44]

20. His arrival on the world scene will be accompanied by miracles, signs and wonders [2 Thess 2:9]

21. Either he, or his companion [The False Prophet], will claim to be Christ [Matt 24:21-28]

22. He will claim that Jesus did not come in the flesh, or that Jesus did not rise bodily from the grave
[2 John 7]. He will deny that Jesus is the Messiah [I John 2:22]

23. He will be worshipped by many people [Rev. 13:8]

24. He will hate a nation that initially will have some control over his kingdom, but he will destroy this nation [Rev 17:16-18]

25. He will appear to survive a fatal injury [Rev. 13:3; 17:8]

26. His name will be related to the number six hundred and sixty six—but not necessarily in an obvious fashion [Rev 13:17-18].

27. He will be empowered by the devil himself [Rev. 13:2]

  1. Crazy!

  2. You’ve never studied Daniel other than from an American dispensationalist standpoint, have you? How do you presume to know so much about the Antichrist in Daniel when he is never identified as such? Go read a couple commentaries.

  3. 8 and 9 refers to the Feasts of the Lord(Passover,Unleaven bread, First fruits, etc) and the jewish calendar where the Feast are a sign, see the website of Eddie Chumney, the Feasts of the Lord or waytozion.org or similar messianic jews.

    Read Revelations 13:1-3

    Link to the atempted assination of Pope John II 1n 1981 http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/big/0513.html

    Pope John Paul II Is Shot in Car in Vatican Square; Surgeons Term Condition ‘Guarded’; Turk, an Escaped Murderer, Is Seized.

    John Paul receives a Deadly wound. This happened in the year 1981.
    2 Bullets Hit Pontiff
    Part of Intestine is Removed in 5-Hour Operation
    Hand Also Injured

    Link to the nations in the European Community in the year 1981. http://europa.eu/about-eu/countries/index_en.htm
    Do not confuse this with the European Union.

    1 Belgium (1952)
    2 France (1952)
    3 Germany (1952)
    4 Italy (1952)
    5 Luxembourg (1952)
    6 Netherlands (1952)
    7 Denmark (1973)
    8 United Kingdom (1973)
    9 Ireland (1973)
    10 Greece (1981) Greece becomes the 10th European community nation. Note:Refers to the 10 horns and 10 crowns refers to the leaders of these 10 nations.

    Link to the names of the seven hills. http://www.musesrealm.net/rome/sevenhills.html

    So in 1981 these three things happened in the European Community.

    1 Greece became the 10th member nation.
    2 Pope John Paul II received a beadly wound that was healed.
    3 The wound he received happened in the city of Rome Italy that was built on seven hills.

    I am only talking about Revelations 13:1-3 I am amazed how something that happened 31 years ago still has not progressed beyond Revelations 13:3.

  5. 1 John: 2:22

    “Who is the liar if it is not the one that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This IS THE ANTICHRIST, the one that denies the Father and the Son”.

    1 John: 2 18

    “Young children, it is the last hour, and , as YOU have heard that antichrist is coming, even now there have come to be MANY antichrists, from which fact we gain the knowledge that is the last hour”.

  6. Please read The Great Controversy between Christ & satan by Ellen Gould White,you will then really understand what is what…….Read it Now….please don’t wait for tomorrow. Google it Now……
