Revelation | Pt. 20 - The False Prophet & The Mark Of The Beast | Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer

Antichrist = Political Leader
False Prophet = Religious Leader
antichrist and antichrists
1 John 2:18
Enters the World Stage riding on a white horse with no bow - peace
Not royalty
He is a man not a woman
Fairly certain he is Jewish and likely from the tribe of Dan
Looks good on the outside but is a monster on the inside
Copycat of the Christ
Assassination attempt and raised back to life by the False Prophet
Greek wording same as the lamb that was slain
This fills the world with wonder
Imagine watching it on TV
When he recovers though his injury is still visible (Zechariah)
Right brain injury would cause left arm to be paralyzed
Yet this recovery is so fantastic it causes people to worship him
Characteristics Of The Antichrist
Anti = means against but also instead of
Counterfeit
Unholy Trinity
We are to look for Christ not the coming of the Antichrist
He has a partner
False Prophet
False Prophet is named in Revelation 16:13 & Revelation 19:20
Revelation 13:11-18
Earth = Worldly not heavenly
Like a lamb but spoke like a dragon
Points people to worship the first beast
Signs = Fire from heaven like Elijah
Involved with the resurrection of the Antichrist
No crown on his head = spiritual authority
False Prophet
1. Purpose - Draw attention to the Antichrist
2. Power - Miraculous
3. Plan - Mark of the Beast
This False Prophet is a great deceiver
Deceived by signs and the economy will be his means for implementing this one world religion
Things will be so bad that people will do anything to feed their families
Everyone will worship the image of the beast
Revelation 13:14-15
What is that?
Television
Computers
Hologram
Life = Bios
Breath = Pneuma
What We Know About The Image Of The Beast
1. All will be ordered to setup an image of the Antichrist (13:14)
2. The False Prophet will give breath (life) to the image so it can speak (13:15)
3. The image will be an object of mandatory worship (13:15)
Image = Some kind of idol that represents the Antichrist
Mark is singular but everyone will have to have it meaning its plural which could be the same with image
Possible that Satan's demons possess these idols and infest these idols
Idols are lifeless but they become means for worshipping demons
Wouldn't be the first time
1st Corinthians 10:19-21
The False Prophet will manage to create a one world religion
Coexist Bumper Stickers
Fashionable but not Biblical
How is the False Prophet going to get Muslims and Jews to worship the mage of the beast?
Have you thought about that?
Show you something interesting
