The Anti-Christ
The 28 Characteristics of the AntiChrist
EadsHome Ministries; www.eadshome.com
1. He comes from among ten kings in the restored Roman Empire; his authority will have similarities to the ancient Babylonians, Persians and Greeks [Daniel 7:24; Rev 13:2 / Daniel 7:7].
2. He will subdue three kings [Daniel 7:8, 24].
3. He is different from the other kings [Daniel 7:24].
4. He will rise from obscurity…a “little horn” [Daniel 7:8].
5. He will speak boastfully [Daniel 7:8; Rev 13:5].
6. He will blaspheme God, [Daniel 7:25; 11:36; Rev 13:5] slandering His Name, dwelling place, departed Christians and Old Testament saints [Rev. 13:6].
7. He will oppress the saints and be successful for 3-½ years [Daniel 7:25; Rev. 13:7].
8. He will try to change the calendar, perhaps to define a new era, related to himself [Daniel 7:25].
9. He will try to change the laws, perhaps to gain an advantage for his new kingdom and era [Dan 7:25].
10. He will not be succeeded by another earthly ruler, but by Christ [Daniel 7:26-27].
11. He will confirm a covenant with “many,” i.e. the Sanhedrin [Daniel 9:27].
This covenant will likely involve the establishment of a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem
[see Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:15].
12. He will put an end to Jewish sacrifice and offerings after 3-½ years and will set up an abomination to God in the Temple [Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15].
13. He will not answer to a higher earthly authority; “He will do as he pleases”[Daniel 11:36].
14. [Ed., Unlike Obama, who wears a muslim ring and claims to be both muslim and Christian,] the antichrist will show no regard for the religion of his ancestors [Daniel 11:37].
15. He will not believe in any god at all [except for himself] [Daniel 11:37].
16. He will have "no regard for the desire of women:" He will either be asexual or homosexual [Dan. 11:37]. [Ed., Some suggest this is a reference to 'the goddess ofwomen, like Diana, who was highly revered and worshiped in ancient times.].
17. He will claim to be greater than any god [Daniel 11:37; 2 Thess. 2:4].
18. He will claim to be God [2 Thessalonians 2:4].
19. He will only honor a “god [of forces]” of the military. [The New Age Movement worships a "god of forces." His whole focus and attention will be on his military. He will conquer lands and distribute them [Daniel 11:39-44].
20. His arrival on the world scene will be accompanied by miracles, signs and wonders [2 Thess 2:9].
21. Either he, or his companion [The False Prophet], will claim to be Christ [Matt. 24:21-28].
22. He will claim that Jesus did not come in the flesh, or that Jesus did not rise bodily from the grave [2 John 7]. He will deny that Jesus is the Messiah [I John 2:22].
23. He will be worshiped by many people [Rev. 13:8].
24. He will hate a nation that initially will have some control over his kingdom, but he will destroy this nation [Rev. 17:16-18]. [Ed., It is believed his headquarters will be in Greece and Turkey.]
25. He will appear to survive a fatal injury [Rev. 13:3; 17:8]. [The late prophecy teacher, Irwin Baxter, believed there was a double fulfillment to this prophecy via the nation of Germany that lost the war in WWII (i.e., wounded unto death) but made a comeback.]
26. His name will be related to the number six hundred and sixty six—but not necessarily in an obvious fashion [Rev 13:17-18]. [Ed., God showed someone during his NDE recently how the number 666 would be used in Roman numerals by the antichrist. God also told him the antichrist will be a Jew like King Solomon and do things that King Solomon did.]
27. He will have a fierce countenance and understand dark sentences [Dan. 8:23].28. He will be empowered by the devil himself [Rev. 13:2].
