Eight Facts About The
One of the most disturbing chapters in the entire
Bible is also one that gives us various explicit details
about the antichrist. The chapter I’m referring to is Rev-
elation 13. In that chapter, the antichrist is symbolically
represented as a beast with 10 horns and 7 heads which
is first seen as coming out of the sea.
Fact 1
The dragon, which is also the devil in Revelation
(12:9; 20:2), gives the beast his power, throne and great
authority (13:2). This fact is very significant, that is, the
antichrist gets his power and authority from the devil
himself.
Fact 2
The whole world will follow the beast or antichrist:
One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had
a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed.
The whole world was astonished and followed
the beast. (Rev 13:3)
It seems that the reason why the whole world fol-
lowed the antichrist was because 1 of his 7 heads was
healed of a fatal wound.
Fact 3
The world’s society as a whole, at that time, will be
so sinful that people will knowingly worship the devil
because they learn it was the devil (the dragon) who gave
his authority to the antichrist:
Men worshiped the dragon because he had given
authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the
beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can
make war against him?” (Rev 13:4)
This proves there will be no worldwide revival
that will usher in the Lord’s return. This also shows
the predominant spiritual future of America, Canada, the
United Kingdom, and the rest of the world, that is, Satan
worship and idolatry. Satan worship will be open and
the norm during the reign of the antichrist. Imagine a so-
ciety like that.
Fact 4
The proud and blasphemous antichrist will exercise
his reign of terror for 42 months, that is, 3-1/2 years:
The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words
and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for
forty-two months. (Rev 13:5)
His rule will be ended when the Lord Jesus returns.
In Rev 19:19,20 we read of this where the Lord Jesus is
referred to as the rider on the horse:
Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and
their armies gathered together to make war
against the rider on the horse and his army. But
the beast was captured, and with him the false
prophet who had performed the miraculous
signs on his behalf. With these signs he had de-
luded those who had received the mark of the
beast and worshiped his image. The two of them
were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning
sulfur.

Hence, the antichrist and the false prophet are con-
quered by the Christ and thrown alive, into the fiery lake
of burning sulfur. That will occur exactly 42 months
after he begins his reign.
Fact 5
One of the most shocking and terrifying verses in
the entire Bible for Christians is Rev 13:7, which says:
He was given power to make war against the
saints and to conquer them. And he was given
authority over every tribe, people, language and
nation.
Sad but true: The anti-
christ will make war against
the saints and conquer them
and this will be on a world-
wide scale. With the technologies that exists today and
their advancements, one can see how trying to hide from
the antichrist then will be almost an impossibility. Also,
the prayers of the saints for deliverance from the
antichrist will not prevail then! This will be a test that the
saints will have to face. In addition, the antichrist will be
the world’s leader at that point in time.
Fact 6
The saints will either be killed or go into captivity.
Rev 13:10 says:
If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he
will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword,
with the sword he will be killed. This calls for pa-
tient endurance and faithfulness on the part of
the saints.
Especially the saints then, who face the antichrist,
will have to patiently endure persecutions and be
faithful to God. The rapture will not save them from
the antichrist. Furthermore, if they take the mark of
the beast, they will lose their salvation, based on Rev
14:9-12, which says:
A third angel followed them and said in a loud
voice: If anyone worships the beast and his
image and receives his mark on the forehead or
on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of
God’s fury, which has been poured full strength
into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented
with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy
angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their
torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest
day or night for those who worship the beast
and his image, or for anyone who receives the
mark of his name. This calls for patient endur-
ance on the part of the saints who obey God’s
commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.
Fact 7
The antichrist will have a man promoting his pop-
ularity and reign known as the false prophet. He will
actually perform miraculous signs and deceive multi-
tudes by his miracles. Rev 13:14 says:
Because of the signs he was given power to do
on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the in-
habitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an
image in honor of the beast who was wounded by
the sword and yet lived.
Besides causing fire
to come down from the sky
he will also cause a statue
of the antichrist to breathe and speak. Rev 13:15 says:
He was given power to give breath to the image
of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause
all who refused to worship the image to be killed.
Fact 8
The false prophet is the one who will force all peo-
ple to receive the mark of the beast in order to buy or sell.
That mark will be on the right hand or forehead of the
recipients. That mark is also the same as the name of the
beast or the number of his name:
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and
poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right
hand or on his forehead, so that no one could
buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the
name of the beast or the number of his name. This
calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him cal-
culate the number of the beast, for it is man’s num-
ber. His number is 666. (Rev 13:16-18)
Is The Mark Of The Beast
Out Now In May 2012?
Absolutely not. How can we be sure? We can still
buy and sell without any kind of mark on either our
right hand or forehead. Furthermore, receiving that
mark is also associated with worshiping the antichrist or
his statue, which also didn’t happen yet. Remember the
fate of the antichrist. Both he and the false prophet will be
thrown alive into the lake of burning sulfur. The Christ
will defeat the antichrist at the battle of Armageddon,
then the Lord’s 1,000 year reign on earth from Jerusalem
will begin. He who endures to the end will be saved
(Mt 10:22; Mt 24:13; Mk 13:13).
He was given power to make war against
the saints and to conquer them.
