19 September 2021

The Antichrist comes after the Beast, but appears like a harmless lamb. Just as God marks His own elect, Satan will mark those who worship him.

The false prophet will rise to imitate Christ, and he will make the world worship the Beast, who is empowered by Satan. He will even attempt to imitate the resurrection of Christ by healing his own fatal wound. The world will follow him because of his deceptive miracles.

Not content with religious worship, the Antichrist and Beast will also control the world economy, making it impossible to buy or sell without their mark. The mark will be Satan's imitation of God's mark on His elect.

The time will come when the Antichrist will deceive the world, but the true Christ offers redemption today.
