Anyways, we're gonna see another video that we're gonna pray together.

How would you know not to follow the Antichrist?

Like if the Antichrist came, how would you know not to follow him?

Well, I heard it's supposed to be the opposite of Christ, so I probably shouldn't follow something that's pure evil.

I mean assuming you're brought up on good morals if the Antichrist comes out spouting false morals don't follow.

The Antichrist came how would you know it was the Antichrist?

Well, isn't he supposed to be like a really great leader or something?

He's going to be like you or I, so it's going to be a secret.

I Think the person that spoke last seemed to make the most sense Biblically, you wouldn't really know Unless you studied the Bible, right?

The other people were just saying I don't know They didn't have a clue really and frankly, I think it's sad Yeah, because the Bible is spelled out so many times in scripture God's purpose of course to reveal to us who the antichrist is and these people they don't study their Bible so tonight we're going to be looking at the scripture And Chad, would you pray for us?

07.15 Yeah, let's bow our heads for a word of prayer.

Great God in heaven, you who see all the things that are seen and unseen to us.

You look not on the outward, but you look on the inward, Lord.

And we pray tonight that we would open our hearts to You.

That tonight as we open the Scriptures, that we would see you in a way that we've never seen you before.

I pray that you will open your truth to someone here tonight.

If someone's here tonight for the first time, Lord, I pray that they would have a keen mind and understanding mind, especially since they missed a few meetings, but I know that at the same time, you can make these scriptures so clear that anyone in this room, by your grace, can understand.

Lord, I pray tonight that your Holy Spirit would rain down upon us, that Lord, we would know that you are here and that we have been in your presence Lord guide us with your Holy Spirit now as we turn the pages of Holy writ God in heaven we need you more than all things now, and I pray that Jesus the Savior who has died and has risen again will be seen this evening above all else we pray in the name of Jesus amen amen You know there was a question before we get started with this message.

There was 2 questions and they both deal with the same thing.

I've been raised in the church and learned that there would be a rapture of the church preceding the second coming of Christ.

Therefore what's the deal about Antichrist?

And we covered that I thought yesterday pretty clearly we're going to go into that a little deeper in the future but what we looked at yesterday to answer that question was what?

Well we saw that in Daniel chapter 7 3 times particularly we saw a chronology that was set forth in the Bible that showed us that there would be an Antichrist.

So the Bible called him, in Daniel chapter 7, called him the Little Horn.

After the Antichrist's power there would be judgment and then after the judgment would be the Second Coming.

3 times in Daniel chapter 7 very clearly we saw that this is a chronology that would take place.

Second Thessalonians chapter 2 says there first must be a falling away and then the day of the Lord would come.

So we covered that yesterday, we're going to cover it more in detail in the future.

You're going to have to come back next weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday we're going to be presenting more messages.

In fact, every single weekend in October, right?

Yes, we're going to have 4 weekends in a row.

Now, you have all week to go home and do your laundry and get your groceries and everything you need to do so that when the weekends come you'll be all ready for the meeting.

So we made sure to have the weekdays off so that you by the grace of God could find those days open and come back.

We're gonna go into powerful messages that are gonna get deeper and deeper into the scriptures.

While I was with them in the world I kept them in your name.

Those that you have given me I have kept.

Given me Christ, he's praying here, and none of them is lost except the son of perdition that the scripture might be fulfilled.

What we're gonna do is we're gonna ask the question who, what, when, why, where, how, and we're going to answer those questions biblically why?

Because any good reporter looking at a scenario would ask those questions to get a pretty good bit of information on what they're asking about.

So the who, it is somebody that's like the son of perdition.

We saw that Judas was 1 of the disciples.

1 of those people that if you saw him he would have looked just like Christ to the outward eye.

But actually inside was deception to the point where he betrayed Jesus not with some outwardly evil act but he betrayed him with a kiss and therefore brought down the Savior in the same way the Antichrist power is going to deceive people through things that look nice.

So he was a Christian influence as well, right?

Okay, so we're gonna look at the next 1 This is part of who another who let not anyone deceive you by any means For the day of the Lord shall not come unless their first comes a falling away and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition." There it is again, there's the who.

That also answers the question that was asked about the rapture.

Clearly, before the day of Christ comes, what's going to happen?

The son of perdition, the man of sin, will be revealed.

So people are going to see the Antichrist before the day of Christ returns, very clear.

It says, in answer to who, he opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself forth that he is God.

He's a Christian influence, but he's trying to step in the way of Jesus, you see.

He's trying to gather worship to himself.

You see, because the devil, Back in Isaiah chapter 14, tell us about it.

Yeah, in Isaiah chapter 14 beginning in about verse 12, you see this picture of Satan, and Satan uses the term, IIII.

He wanted to exalt himself up into the stars of heaven.

He wanted to go upon the mount of God, and he basically said he wanted to be like the Most High.

Now the trouble is is that Satan or Lucifer, who before he had sinned was called Lucifer, the bright and shining 1, he was beautiful but he was a creation of God and he wanted to take the place of his creator and so in the same way this Antichrist power is going to try to set up a system upon the earth that people will look to as God.

See right here he's a Christian influence.

He's with Jesus, he's a disciple, he's been given miraculous power and authority over demons and devils, etc.

But notice what happens, and he shall speak words, what?

Yay, he magnified himself even to the ruler of the host according to Daniel 7 25 and Daniel 8 verse 11 now so if he's a Christian influence if he's like Judas and there's an inward deception and the motives are incorrect can he hide it according to verse 7 7 25 Well in a sense he is going to hide it.

There is going to be a way to seek and to find out that this power is deceptive but we already have seen that the majority of the world the Bible says is going to wonder after the beast system.

So they're going to follow after this power.

And they're going to choose to follow the Antichrist all the while thinking that they're following Christ.

Dillardson And we covered that the very first time we were together.

Remember we were looking at the beast of Revelation 13 and how he had horns, he had crowns, he had a name written on him, he came out of the sea to start his ministry, he was an animal of sorts, he was dead and he was he came back to life, he ministered for 3 and a half years, all the same things that Jesus did so if you're not careful if you don't study your Bible you're gonna be you're gonna be following Antichrist thinking that you're following Jesus Christ and so 1 of the ways of course is to go through the who what when why where how why and then stay for the next meeting and we're going to show you from the Bible who it is.

We read here in Daniel 7, 17 and verse 24, these 4 great beasts are for kings.
