Who Is The Antichrist? (21 of 33)
Series: Revelation
Jim Perdue
Revelation 13:1-10
Intro/Attention
Tonight, in our verse-by-verse study of the book of Revelation, we come to Revelation 13. Up to this point in our study, we have seen John's vision of the resurrected Christ, the letters to the seven churches, the vision of heaven, the seven seals, the seven trumpets and the two witnesses. Last time, we saw the battle between the dragon and the woman, Satan and Israel. Tonight, from Revelation 13:1-10, we ask this question, Who Is The Antichrist? READ TEXT
*In the chaotic times of confusion, uncertainty, and unrest that will prevail during the Tribulation, the world will long for a leader. People will be desperately hoping for someone powerful and influential to unite the divided and contentious nations of the world; someone to bring hope in the midst of helplessness; someone to provide a sense of security in an unsettled time of apprehension and fear. People will be desperately seeking a strong, charismatic, authoritative leader to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Those longings will be fulfilled. The powerful leader people desire will come and unify the world under his rule. He will appear at first to be everything people thought they were looking for. And for a brief time he will bring peace and prosperity. But he will turn out to be far more than the world bargained for. He will be a dictator more cruel and powerful than any other leader the world has ever known. This man, often called the Antichrist, will be the culmination of a long line of would-be world conquerors. What men like Alexander the Great and the Roman emperors in ancient times and Hitler and Stalin in modern times only dreamed of doing, the Antichrist actually will do-he will rule the entire world and receive its worship.*
