I have long promoted the concept of the antichrist being a counterfeit of the true Christ; his religion a counterfeit of the Christian faith. Despite the ever popular theories to the contrary, below is a Bible study revealing why I continue to uphold my views. The sea-beast or antichrist. Comes from water to begin activity. (13:1) Resembles dragon. (12:13 13:1) Ten diadems. (13:1) Ten horns (13:1) Receives power throne and authority from dragon/Satan. (13:2,4) 42 months of activity in first phase. (13:5) Was slain (13:3) Resurrected (13:3) Receives worship after healing (13:3,4,8) Now compare: Jesus Christ Comes from water to begin ministry (Luke 3:21-23) Resembles Father (Jn 14:19) Many diadems (Rev 19:12) Lamb has 7 horns (5:6) Receives power throne and authority from His Father (Math 28:18 Rev 2:27 Chapters 4,5) 42 months of ministry in initial phase. (Gospel of John) Was slain (Rev 5:6) Was resurrected (Rev1:18) Received worship after resurrection (Math 28:17) For those who would indulge in thinking that perhaps Islam or some other religion or religious leader is the Antichrist, I would remind them that counterfeits are copies of the truth. You do not get counterfeit $99 notes. The counterfeit religion, the counterfeit god, the counterfeit worship of the last days, Babylon the Great, is a quasi Christianform of worship, a Christian God, a Christian form of church. That my friends is what makes it so dangerous, so deceptive. It also means that the mark of the beast is a quasi Christian mark or practice enforced through government legislationb and financial restraints used as incentive to accept it.
