The Antichrist and the Coming New World Order
Imagine a world where every move is monitored, and a single mark signifies loyalty to a Satanic ruler—the Antichrist. Welcome to the era of the Antichrist and the mark of the beast. In this new order, the Antichrist spearheads a worldwide government, unleashing chaos and destruction on Earth.
Defining the Antichrist
The term “antichrist” appears only four times in the Bible, all by John in his epistles (1 Jn. 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 Jn. 7), but the concept occurs elsewhere: Beast from the sea (Rev. 13:1); the man of lawlessness (2 Th. 2:3–9); coming prince (Daniel 6:26); or little horn (Daniel 7:8). The term could mean “against Christ” or “in place of Christ.” John’s use of “antichrist” in his epistles and Revelation conveys a broader meaning as understood by Christians in his time:
- People denying Jesus as Christ (1 John 2:18, 22; 2 John 7), resulting in many antichrists—past and present.
- The spirit of the antichrist, the animating force producing the antichrist attitude in people, is already here and working.
- The Antichrist, a man John saw as a monstrous beast emerging from the sea in a symbolic vision, is still to come.
The Global Ruler and His One-World System
The Antichrist we are concerned about is a specific individual, a man who will become a worldwide ruler. The Antichrist will emerge as a human political ruler, ascending to power and governing a one-world system. He will have a name symbolically represented by 666 and implement a method to identify his adherents—the mark of the beast.
During the Antichrist’s reign, the mark of the beast will serve as a government-imposed identification to distinguish those who worship the Antichrist (the beast). It will be a global government ID in a forthcoming new world order that grants special privileges to those who bear the mark and imposes severe restrictions on those who don’t. Remember that this new world is not imaginary or visionary; it will be the real world we know today under different circumstances.
The Strategy and Power of the Empire
To aid our understanding, it is important to note that the Antichrist and his government have a two-fold purpose, a three-fold strategy, and a four-fold power. The following data outlines the operational structure of this system:
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Two-fold Purpose | Erase every footprint of Jesus Christ on Earth and replace Him; Demand worship of the Antichrist and the invisible dragon (Satan). |
| Three-fold Strategy | Lure people by offering pleasure, prosperity, power, and fame; Deceive them through false miracles or teachings; Persecute those who resist. |
| Four-fold Power System | Enticement, Economic control, Religious influence, and Political power. |
To understand life under the Satanic ruler, think of Babylon when Nebuchadnezzar set up the golden image and demanded that the entire world worship it. Babylon will return, and it will be even more devastating this time. People will face a choice like no other: worship the Antichrist for earthly prosperity but eternal doom or worship Christ and face persecution and death.
