Why Is The Antichrist Coming?

[Diaste]

Is he coming for sinners? If not, what's his purpose?

Is he coming for believers? If not, what's his purpose?

Q. Why Is The Antichrist Coming?

A. To Personify Satan In Defiance Of Christ.   

When the Antichrist is capitalised in this manner I interpret it from Scripture to be synonymous with the endtimes ultimate false prophet, man of sin, son of perdition, lawless one, beast from the earth.

Revelation 13 has one beast rising from the sea of sinful humanity as wickedness escalates to a final climax, and another beast coming out of the earth of evil vanity to take control of humanity through the infrastructure in place. God allows this for the purpose of testing the faithful and fulfulling Judgment.

This climax is the culmination of these seven contributing factors as mentioned in the narrative that describes the opening of the seven seals.  

1. Conquest

2. Conflict

3. Commodities

4. Carnage

5. Complaint

6. Catastrophe

7. Clarion

my personal opinion:

Quote

Rev 12:7-12

7 Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8 but he was defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world— he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. 11 And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. 12 Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!"
ESV

Hi Diaste,

At first I believe he comes to lead Islam to glory - to rule the world.

Later when Satan`s influence enters him then the A/C desires to be worshipped.

I have the firm belief God is unleashing this dog to bring a test to the ones called by His name. The beast is bringing the purifying fire.

But what is the purpose? God is in control of the beast, and decides when to release this plague. Why?

His purpose is - to become like God! And always has been this. (Isa. 14: 13 & 14)

Those are easy enough questions on the surface.

There are 33 names and titles given to the Antichrist; all thirty-three can be also applied to Satan. Satan copies and mimics everything the Lord does, he never does anything original. Remember the five "I wills?"

The unholy trinity [Satan; Antichrist; False Prophet] want to oust the Holy Trinity from this planet and be gods. Matthew 24:15 (KJV) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Satan is presently the god of this age and earth, he usurped and inherited it, and the 'title deed' from the fall of Adam. Satan wants to be worshipped above all else; and he will not give that up without a fight. Worship him, or die.

Yes, that conclusion also explains why Satan and his cohort are cast down to earth rather than to the furtherest reaches of the Universe.

 Rev 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. . . etc
