The Antichrist—

"War I Give unto You"

HE MAY BE ALIVE TODAY.
We have seen that the third Jerusalem Temple, the
Tribulation Temple, will be on stage for the final act of
God's drama about the earth. Now let's look at the villain
of the piece. He does his fatal work in the Temple, and
he brings the world total destruction.
He is a political leader of great acumen—virtually a
sorcerer. He is engaging and appealing. He captures the
loyalty of what is left of the world after the rapture, and
he becomes a kind of inverse messiah. The world trusts
him with its problems, and he certainly succeeds in putting
it out of its misery.
He is an egomaniac to make Hitler, Napoleon, and all
the Caesars fade into soft-spoken modesty. He steadily
gathers power and influence through his public relations
man, the False Prophet, and he finally proclaims himself—
not king nor president nor world ruler—but God Almighty.
