The 27 Characteristics of the Anti Christ
1. He comes from among ten kings in the restored Roman Empire; his authority will have similarities to the ancient Babylonians, Persians, and Greeks [Daniel 7:24; Rev 13:2 / Daniel 7:7]2. He will subdue three kings [Daniel 7:8, 24]3. He is different from the other kings [Daniel 7:24]4. He will rise from obscurity… a “little horn” [Daniel 7:8]5. He will speak boastfully [Daniel 7:8; Rev 13:5]6. He will blaspheme God, [Daniel 7:25; 11:36; Rev 13:5] slandering His Name, dwelling place, and departed Christians and Old Testament saints [Rev 13:6]7. He will oppress the saints and be successful for 3 ½ years [Daniel 7:25; Rev 13:7]8. He will try to change the calendar, perhaps to define a new era, related to himself [Daniel 7:25]9. He will try to change the laws, perhaps to gain an advantage for his new kingdom and era [Dan 7:25]10. He will not be succeeded by another earthly ruler, but by Christ [Daniel 7:26-27]11. He will confirm a covenant with “many”, i.e. the Jewish people [Daniel 9:27] This covenant will likely involve the establishment of a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem [see Dan 9:27; Matt 24:15]12. He will put an end to Jewish sacrifice and offerings after 3 ½ years and will set up an abomination to God in the Temple [Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15]13. He will not answer to a higher earthly authority; “He will do as he pleases”[Daniel 11:36]14. He will show no regard for the religion of his ancestors [Daniel 11:37]15. He will not believe in any god at all [except for himself] [Daniel 11:37]16. He will have “no regard for the desire of women”: He will either be asexual or homosexual [Dan 11:37]17. He will claim to be greater than any god [Daniel 11:37; 2 Thess 2:4]18. He will claim to be God [2 Thessalonians 2:4]19. He will only honor a “god” of the military. His whole focus and attention will be on his military. He will conquer lands and distribute them [Daniel 11:39-44]20. His arrival on the world scene will be accompanied by miracles, signs and wonders [2 Thess 2:9]21. Either he, or his companion [The False Prophet], will claim to be Christ [Matt 24:21-28]22. He will claim that Jesus did not come in the flesh, or that Jesus did not rise bodily from the grave [2 John 7]. He will deny that Jesus is the Messiah [I John 2:22]23. He will be worshipped by many people [Rev. 13:8]24. He will hate a nation that initially will have some control over his kingdom, but he will destroy this nation [Rev 17:16-18]25. He will appear to survive a fatal injury [Rev. 13:3; 17:8]26. His name will be related to the number six hundred and sixty six—but not necessarily in an obvious fashion [Rev 13:17-18].27. He will be empowered by the devil himself [Rev. 13:2]
Does this remind you of anyone?? Even if not ALL of the points made are 100% correct? At least, not yet. Someone that has risen to sudden prominence on the American political scene maybe?
