In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He [Jesus Christ -Yeshua] was in the beginning with God.

THE ANTICHRIST

God the Father, God the Son [Christ] and God the Holy Spirit represent the Godhead, commonly referred to as the Trinity. Satan, the Antichrist and the False Prophet represent Satan’s counterfeit to the Godhead. The Antichrist will emerge after the rapture occurs at the end of this current age of grace. The number 666 is the number of a man. In his name [Antichrist] is the number 666. The three sixes reflect the demonic trinity of Satan, the Antichrist and the False Prophet. Satan will give the Antichrist power, and the False Prophet will be empowered to carry out the will of the Antichrist. Those who oppose the Antichrist for the sake of Christ will be slain; they will take part in the last resurrection of those saved.

At the beginning of the seven-year tribulation period, a charismatic leader will rise in Europe and establish a peace treaty with Israel. He is the Antichrist not yet revealed. The treaty will temporarily protect Israel from being persecuted by the ‘revised’ Roman Empire and its harlot, the apostate church. This magnificent leader will appear charming and charismatic. With support from Israel, he will rise in power to become the leader of the ‘revised’ Roman Empire, a ten-state federated Europe, described in Revelation as a seventh kingdom. These events will occur during the first three and one-half years.

The last three and one-half years of the tribulation is the period of the greater tribulation known as the time of Jacob's trouble. The Antichrist will be revealed at this time. He will be endowed with demonic powers to deceive all nations because they have rejected the gospel of Jesus Christ. He will consolidate his power and gain world supremacy in a one-world religious, political, and economic system. At the penalty of death, he will require the mark of 666 on all who buys or sells. He will turn against Israel and the harlot church with ruthlessness. He will desecrate the temple in Jerusalem and set up his throne to blaspheme God and His people. At the end of the tribulation period during the final battle of Armageddon, Jesus Christ, the Messiah, will come back to earth. The Antichrist will fight against Him for world domination but Christ will prevail. The Antichrist along with the false prophet will be cast into the lake of fire for eternity.
