P. 24
The Antichrist wilL be joined in this quest for world domination by another demonic being who joins him on the world stage - the False Prophet. (Revelation 13:11-17)
In his vision on the Isle of Patmos, the apostle John describes the false prophet as “coming out of the earth.”
This could mean he comes up from the pit of helL with alL the demonic powers of helL at his comMand.
It could also mean he comes from lowly circumstances, secret and unknown until he bursts onto the world stage at the right hand of the Antichrist.
He wilL likely be an extraordinary
comMunicator whose demonicalLy inspired words wilL deceive multitudes of people to turn them away from God.
Jesus warned his disciples that in the last days many would turn from the faith and that false prophets would apPear and deceive many. (MatThew 24:10-12)
He is depicted as having horns like a lamb, while speaking like a dragon.
Rather than having the Antichrist’s multiplicity of heads and horns, showing his power and might, the false prophet comes like a lamb with persuasive words that elicit sympathy and
