TRIBULATION IN DETAIL
THE BROADCAST PART 5

THE ANTICHRIST
Can Now Come Forth

(A Brief Commentary. An indepth commentary should follow with additional information)

     The Antichrist, also known as the man of sin and many other names, was held back from being revealed until the Rapture had taken place.
     Once the Rapture happened, both the spirit of lawlessness was released from being somewhat held in check, and the one that would become known as the Antichrist came forth.

     Take note. Case in point: Time in heaven is much different than on earth.
     The Scriptures revealed that once the saints were raptured and met the Lord in the air, they were afterwards judged for rewards. Then they participated in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Then they are found before the throne of God in an almost indescribable scene. The saints then witness the 7 sealed book brought forth, but none were found worthy to open the seals.      Jesus takes it out of the right hand of God the Father. Then, one by one, He begins to open the seals. The first seal is opened. This was the Antichrist coming forth right after the Rapture.
     On earth, very little time had passed between the Rapture and the Antichrist coming forth, but in heaven many events had taken place during a fairly long length of time.
     Conclusion: time in heaven appears to be much different than time on earth.

     Following the Antichrist coming forth, an organization which we call the revived Roman Empire was taken over by this man of sin.
     This put him in a position to confirm a covenant with Israel and others, which would begin the Tribulation.

Additional Information on This Subject

     ✤Immediately after the Rapture happened, that which was holding back the spirit of lawlessness, as well as the Antichrist, from coming forth, was removed. Thus, the Antichrist could now come forth and be revealed‐ref 2 Thes 2:7,8. The Holy Spirit that indwelled the saints had been taken out of the way. As it was written, “HE” BE TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY. The saints that had received the gift of the Holy Ghost were removed by the Rapture.

     ✤The Antichrist came forth. As it was written, HE (the Antichrist) “MIGHT” BE REVEALED IN HIS TIME‐2 Thes 2:6; AND THEN “SHALL” THAT WICKED (the Antichrist, the lawless one) BE REVEALED‐2 Thes 2:8

     2 Thes 2:6‐12‐AND NOW YE KNOW WHAT WITHHOLDETH (or what is holding him back) THAT HE (the Antichrist) MIGHT BE REVEALED IN HIS TIME.
     FOR THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY (or secret power of lawlessness) DOTH ALREADY WORK: (or is already at work) ONLY HE WHO NOW LETTETH (or the one who now holds it back) WILL LET (or will continue to do so) UNTIL HE BE TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY.
     AND THEN SHALL THAT WICKED (or lawless one‐the antichrist) BE REVEALED,…
     EVEN HIM, WHOSE COMING IS AFTER THE WORKING OF SATAN WITH ALL POWER AND SIGNS AND LYING WONDERS.
     AND THE PEOPLE (which were the Romans) OF THE PRINCE THAT SHALL COME (which was the Antichrist) SHALL DESTROY THE CITY (which was Jerusalem) AND THE SANCTUARY‐Dan 9:26.
     The Romans were the ones that came and destroyed Jerusalem back in 70 AD.; thus, this is where the man of sin had to come from. He came forth from Rome, a city that sits on seven mountains.

In many ways, the Antichrist tried to duplicate Jesus.

     As already covered, this put him in position to confirm (or sign) the covenant (or agreement, or treaty) with Israel and others. THE PRINCE THAT SHALL COME (the Antichrist) came forth out of the people, who destroyed the city (Jerusalem) and sanctuary‐ref Dan 9:26. This was the Roman Empire. It happened approximately 70 A.D. Daniel′s image also confirms this‐ref Dan 2:33, 40‐43, as do many other passages in Daniel and in the Revelation.
     Revelation chapters 17 and 18 described such an empire, which fit the reunited Europe perfectly, of which, the man of sin took control. In the process, he plucked up, or caused to fall, or overthrew three kings (rulers or representatives of nations) because they opposed him.
     The ten kings, or rulers, had not yet received a kingdom and had not yet begun to rule, but they received authority as kings for one hour with the Antichrist. They then handed over their power or authority to the Antichrist.

     It was written, THE (former) BEASTS THAT WERE BEFORE IT; AND IT HAD TEN HORNS. The horns represented kings, rulers, or representatives, which seem to represent nations. I CONSIDERED (or while I was thinking about‐NIV) THE HORNS (or kings, or rulers), AND, BEHOLD, THERE CAME UP AMONG THEM ANOTHER LITTLE HORN (which is the Antichrist). He is described as a little horn, but becomes the greatest. From among the ten kings, rulers, or representatives, the Antichrist comes up.
     BEFORE WHOM (or before the Antichrist) THERE WERE THREE OF THE FIRST HORNS (or kings, rulers, or representatives) PLUCKED UP BY THE ROOTS. The three were removed, or dismissed.
     Of the three that were removed, it was written, AS CONCERNING THE REST OF THE BEASTS, THEY HAD THEIR DOMINION TAKEN AWAY (or had been stripped of their authority‐NIV): YET THEIR LIVES WERE PROLONGED (or they were allowed to live) FOR A SEASON AND TIME (a year and a half)‐Dan 7:12.
     AND, BEHOLD, IN THIS HORN (which is the Antichrist) WERE EYES LIKE THE EYES OF MAN, AND A MOUTH SPEAKING GREAT THINGS (or that spoke boastfully)‐Dan 7:7,8. The Antichrist will be the most evil person ever to walk the earth. He will have the wisdon, power, cunning, and craftiness of his father Satan.

     AND (I also wanted to know‐NIV) OF THE TEN HORNS (or kings, rulers, or representatives) THAT WERE IN (or on) HIS HEAD, AND OF THE OTHER WHICH CAME UP (which is the Antichrist), AND BEFORE WHOM THREE (of them) (three of the kings, rulers, or representatives) FELL (or were dethroned, or dismissed) as a result of the Antichrist. EVEN OF THAT HORN THAT HAD EYES (which is the Antichrist), AND A MOUTH THAT SPAKE VERY GREAT THINGS (or boastfully). The Antichrist's speech was full of pride and boastfulness. And his LOOK WAS MORE STOUT (or more imposing, or intimidating) THAN HIS FELLOWS.
     AND THE TEN HORNS OUT OF THIS KINGDOM ARE TEN KINGS (or rulers, or representatives) THAT SHALL ARISE (or who will come from this kingdom): AND ANOTHER (king) (which is the Antichrist) SHALL RISE AFTER THEM. The Antichrist shall arise, or come forth, after the ten kings.
     AND HE (the Antichrist) SHALL BE DIVERSE (or different) FROM THE FIRST (or earlier ones). The Antichrist will be different than the other kings, rulers, or representatives. (Note: this is because his father is Satan). AND HE SHALL SUBDUE (dismiss, unseat, or destroy in some manner) THREE KINGS-Dan 7:20,24.
     AND THE TEN HORNS (which are mentioned in Rev 17:7,3) WHICH THOU SAWEST ARE TEN KINGS. Thus, the ten horns, which the beast has, represent ten kings, WHICH HAVE RECEIVED NO KINGDOM AS YET (or who have not yet‐NASB) (begun to rule); BUT RECEIVE POWER (or authority) AS KINGS (for) ONE HOUR (along) WITH THE BEAST (or the Antichrist)-Rev 17:12. These ten horns or kings are believed to represent ten nations or ten areas.

THESE HAVE ONE MIND (or one purpose), AND SHALL GIVE THEIR POWER (or hand over their power) AND STRENGTH (or authority) UNTO THE BEAST (or Antichrist)-Rev 17:13.
