Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus (Titus 2:13)

THE ANTICHRIST, SUMMARY Revelation 13:16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, Revelation 13:11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. (Note: This verse has been added for clarity.) Antichrist; the person is to be distinguished from the "many antichrists" (1Jo 2:18) and the "spirit of antichrist" (1Jo 4:3) which characterizes all. The supreme mark of all is the denial of the Christian truth of the incarnation of the Logos, the eternal Son in Jesus as the Christ (Joh 1:1); (Joh 1:14). (See Scofield) - (Mat 1:16). The "many antichrists" precede and prepare the way for the Antichrist, who is "the Beast out of the earth" of (Rev 13:11-17) and the "false prophet" of (Rev 16:13); (Rev 19:20); (Rev 20:10). He is the last ecclesiastical head, as the Beast of (Rev 13:1-8) is the last civil head. For purposes of persecution he is permitted to exercise the autocratic power of the emperor-Beast. (See Scofield) - (Rev 19:20).
