The same goes for the rest of the so-called Christian churches, both Protestant and otherwise. They teach the traditions of men and ignore the precepts of God. They are Christian in mere name but not in word or practice. So when the imitation Messiah arrives claiming to be Christ, and exhibiting signs, miracles and wonders, here is another billion or more which will swallow his deception hook, line and sinker.
The coming Antichrist will be a great orator. Listen to what Daniel 7:8 says of him, referred to here as “a little horn.”
“While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it.
This horn had eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth that spoke boastfully.” (NIV)
The KJV says; “…and a mouth speaking great things.”
He will be the most powerful and charismatic political leader ever to take office. Clarence Larkin in his book, Dispensational Truths says of this man;
“He will be a composite man. One who embraces in his character the abilities of Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander the Great and Caesar Augustus. He will have the marvellous gift of attracting unregenerate men. And the irresistible fascination of his personality, his versatile attainments, superhuman wisdom, great administrative and executive ability, along with his powers as a consummate flatterer, a brilliant diplomatist, a superb strategist, will make him the most conspicuous and prominent of men. All these gifts will be conferred on him by Satan, whose tool he will be.”
I bet he will be better looking than Sean Connery, Elvis and George Clooney put together and the women will love him. He will be able to charm the birds off a tree.
But who is this man and from whence does he come? Is he a human who is now being groomed by Satan to step into the limelight in a short time when his moment arrives? Have we seen him on TV and is he known to us? A well known politician from the EU or a rising star in US politics perhaps? Or an Arab prince who is Oxford educated and speaks 9 languages fluently and has oil wealth beyond out wildest dreams?
No. He is none of these. For who he is and where he abides is clearly given in plain speech in scripture. And he will not be seen by any human eye until after the “falling away.” Then and only then will the man of sin be revealed.
