I hear a lot of people these days talking about the coming of the Antichrist, like he is a single man figure who is going to set up some new world order, stamp his followers with a 666 tattoo, or microchip in their forehead or in their right hand, or else they won’t be able to buy groceries or sell material things etc.

But what many fail to understand is….the antichrist spirit has already come, as was also prophesied in scripture and confirmed by both Jesus and the apostles. So instead of taking others word for it, let us see what the scriptures actually say about that spirit of antichrist, and when it actually came, and how it has already successfully deceived many, and practiced, and prospered in the world as written.

In the book of Daniel we are given the prophecy of the 4th and final beast, and the little horn. Daniel 7:8 “I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.”

And this little horn is also shown here in Daniel 8:9-12 9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of stars to the ground , and stamped upon them.11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

First thing notice the little horn is often called “it”, next thing notice “it” waxed great even to the host of heaven. No single evil man has waxed great, even to the host of heaven. And now thirdly, and most importantly, is “it” cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground.

Again, no single evil man has cast down the angels of God (stars) to the ground. But we do have scriptural proof just who did, and how he did it, and even when this occurred. Notice how the great Red Dragon draws away the stars of heaven and casts them to the ground.

Revelation 12:3-5
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

This verse shows the connection with the prophecy of Daniel and the little horn “it” (the tail of the Dragon) which cast down some of the host and stars to the ground. This verse also confirms the timing of just when this casting out of Satan would happen, as the man child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, and was caught up to God, and to His throne is none other than Jesus Christ.

We also see confirmation of this casting out of Satan in Revelation 12:7-97 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

This confirms the casting out of Satan (prince of this world) and the place of their sanctuary also being cast down, as confirmed in the above verses in Daniel 8:11. I’ll get back to the little horn and tail of the Dragon in a bit, but let’s first confirm by Jesus words and the apostles what we have so far.

Jesus said in Luke 10:18 “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” Jesus also said the Prince of this world is judged in John 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. And again in John 14:30 “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.” And so again when is Satan judged, cast out, and when does he come?

John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
And when Jesus said now, he meant now! Not some 1,980 years or so later. Alright, we have scriptural proof to confirm this, and Jesus’ own testimony to confirm this, and now the apostles testimony of the coming of antichrist spirit.

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Note, John says nothing about a single man being Antichrist, but rather he tells us antichrist is a spirit which works in many. (many deceivers)

This spirit is that little horn called “it” in Daniel 8:12 which also casts the truth to the ground. The reason being is that spirit is of the Devil, and the Devil is the father of lies. John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Which brings us to the little horn (which is the tail of the Dragon) who drew away some of the host and stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. (as we saw in Daniel 8:10 and Rev 12:4) But first we must understand what the tail of the Red Dragon represents, which is explained here in Isaiah 9:15 “The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.”

So the tail of the Dragon represents the false prophet spirit (spirit of antichrist) which teaches lies, and draws people away from the Truth. The false prophet image is shown here in Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”

This false prophet image may look to many like a lamb (like the outward image of the Lamb of God) but his doctrine proves what spirit he is truly of; because he speaks as a dragon. (lies)We are warned in Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

So this spirit working in many deceivers may come in the name of Christ, and even portray that same visible outward image,(sheep’s clothing) but their doctrine prove they are truly of the Dragon. (lies)

Jesus said in Matthew 24:5 “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” And also in Luke 21:8 “And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.” So again, we see many deceivers who will put on that outward lamb image, but those that know Christs voice shall also know they speak like a Dragon. (lies)

Also we read in Revelation 13:13 “And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, So these false prophets will work wonders, but note the last part of that verse “in the sight of men”, which means in the eyes of men they will be great wonders. But we are told in the next verse that he “deceives them that dwell on the earth by means of those miracles”

So they are false miracles(or even lying wonders) 2 Thessalonians 2:9 “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,”

Alright, before I get back to the “eyes of men” part, let’s confirm again how there were to be many false prophets doing signs and wonders. Matthew 24:24 “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Mark 13:22 “For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

And again here in 1 John 4:1 “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” So that confirms without a doubt by many verses of scripture that there would be many false prophets who would be of that same spirit of antichrist showing signs and lying wonders in the sight of men.

Which brings us back to why “in the sight of men” is mentioned in that verse. The sight is how one sees things, or perceives things, and even understands things. That is why we saw in the little horn in Daniel 7:8 “I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.”


This is the sign of the carnally minded man who judges things based on outward appearances. The Lord told Samuel in 1 Samuel 16:7 “But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”

Job asked of the Lord in Job 10:4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth? As Jesus told the carnally minded men in his day John 8:15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. Because the Lord does not see things as men see things Isaiah 11:3 “And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:”

This judging after the flesh (outwardly) is what the firstborn nature in man does because he also is carnally minded and he only knows what he knows naturally. And so having the eyes of man to see, they still do not perceive the spiritual things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

Jeremiah 5:21 “Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:

It is those elect who have been given eyes of understanding, with their eyes being enlightened by the Holy Spirit of God which shall not be deceived. Ephesians 1:17-1817 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

But sadly many have already been deceived, as it is also written.

And this little horn is also shown here in Daniel 8:9-12 9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of stars to the ground , and stamped upon them.

The question is who are "some of the host and of stars". It can't be the angels who sided with Satan because the little horn stamps on them.

The little horn is the king of fierce countenance in Daniel 8. By peace he will destroy many. So who gets destroyed? In 1thess5, when they say peace, peace, sudden destruction will come up on them.

Spirit of antichrist, is the spirit of the lie. That's what drew the angels away from God, that's also what draws men away from Gods Word. (which is Truth)

Think about it, what practices and prospers in this world? How can one destroy many through so-called peace and prosperity? It is done from within, it is done with the lies this world embraces.

The Devil is the father of lies. His spirit is the spirit of a lie. (antichrist)

Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

The stars represent the saints, the mighty and holy people in verse 24. The little horn is the king of fierce countenance, in verse 23, as the angel Gabriel begins explaining to Daniel the vision.

Oops. I just realized I am in the wrong forum. I am supposed to be in the eschatology forum.

Yes, it has to with the children of Israel, and the 12 tribes (12 stars) and with the third part of them being darkened,Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born."


Which also has to do with the 12 stones on the breast plate of judgment,and the third part missing as shown in Ezekiel with the covering cherub (which can get pretty deep for most to grasp).

Here's a snip from an old post I wrote about the third part, stars, stones, etc.

This darkened third part can also be shown in the missing stones on the breast plate of judgment. In Ezekiel 28:13 the Lord speaks to the covering Cherub, which has covered up, or cast a shadow over the Truth. The Lord said; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardine, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, and the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold. Notice there are only 9 stones listed, and also notice the order of stones listed.

Now go to Exodus 28:17-20 and notice the order of the 12 stones given for (the names) of the children of Israel. These are shown in 4 rows, or 4 parts. The 1st part was; sardius, topaz, carbuncle. The 2nd is emerald, saphire, diamond. The 3rd is ligure, agate, amethyst. And the 4th was beryl, onyx, jasper.

First notice the (third part) of these 12 stones was shown missing from the 9 stones listed in Ezekiel. Also notice the third stone in the 1st row(carbuncle) in Exodus 28:17 is listed as the last stone, or 9th stone in Ezekiel 28:13. This to me is the sign to show how the first( third part) would be cut off, and shall be brought back, or grafted back in to also become the last third part of Israel.

These 12 stones with (the names) of the children of Israel on them is also symbolized in the 12 angels, with (the names) written there on the 12 gates of the Holy Jerusalem.

I believe the removal of the stones, and the stars, or angels, represents the removal of the names written in heaven. Jesus said in Luke 10:20;"Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven."

In Revelation 3:5 Jesus said;"He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."

I am in the wrong forum because for me I try to understand the prophecies to put them together into a start to finish scenario where everything fits together. That's the objective for me.

You appear to be doing a different type of analysis. Which this forum is not intended to be an eschatology forum. I just strayed into the wrong place. Gotta go :).

As long as it's Christian scriptures being discussed I don't see them having an issue with it.

A lot of times this forum is alot less active, and a bit more peaceful, that's why I posted it here.

But do what you want.:)

The antichrist and the beast is already here rallying people to hate God:

1 John 5:19
John 15:19
1 John 2:15-16
John 7:7
James 4:4
Luke 6:20-26
Luke 16:13-15
Matthew 10:39
Revelations 11:18

Many has already taken the mark.

The mark is not really physical/visible nor something electronic, nor something you can receive from a kiosk. It's what God sees.

That's right, the Lord does not judge based on appearances as man, the Lord looks upon the heart.:thumbsup:

Amen!

I still won't take the chip though. I hate the idea of things injected to my body. I don't even like vaccines.

I don't take things I don't need.

"The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things......Daniel 7: 4-8

"And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast"..........Revelation 13: 3........."And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed." Revelation 13: 11-12

The Little Horn comes up "among them," which are the four kingdoms, the lion, the bear, the leopard and the fourth, dreadful and terrible. The Little Horn is also a kingdom, not an individual.

But - look at Revelation 13: 11-12. The second beast of Revelation 13, which is called the False Prophet, representing the many false prophets of Matthew 14: 11, causes people to worship, or honor, the first beast whose deadly wound was healed. This head of the first beast whose deadly wound was healed can be seen as being the same as the Little Horn of Daniel 7: 8. The Little Horn is mentioned again in Daniel 7: 20,"...and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows."

The Little Horn is a small horn, but its look is more stout than its fellows, its neighboring nations. The Little Horn, or one head of the first beast of Revelation 13 whose deadly wound was healed, represents the spirit of anti-Christ. The false prophets, trained in the false prophet schools, are said to cause people to worship or honor the Little Horn head of the first beast. But the first beast is a composite as Revelation 13: 2 says, having the traits of the first three beasts of Daniel 7, the lion, the bear and the leopard. The fourth beast kingdom of Daniel 7: 7 has the traits of the lion, bear and leopard empires, all post Cross empires. Yet there were two Catholic post Cross empires that came before the lion, or Protestant empire. These two Catholic empires were the Holy Roman Empire and the Catholic Spanish empire, which ran into the "protestant winds" and Queen Elizabeth's Navy and never again dominated the world scene.

The spirit of anti-Christ of I John 4: 3 is manifested in the Little Horn state now in the Middle East. It has been supported by the fourth empire of Daniel 7: 7, and it is allied with the entity of Daniel 11 known as the King of the North. The less "stout" nations which neighbor the Little Horn are allied with the King of the South. Daniel 11: 45 says "...yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him." This "He" is in the previous verses, that is, in Daniel 11: 40-44, and is the King of the North, or the northern industrial nations, NATO, the U.S. and Western Europe, but not Russia and China. Most of the nations belonging to the King of the South are Islamic countries.

People seem to miss that little horn of the firstborn son Nation of Israel, who did receive a head wound from the Lord, and was also given over to that Wicked spirit.

Ezekiel 21:25 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
