"Jesus Christ vs. the antichrist"


I know others have mentioned most of these thoughts, here, before.
I simply want to echo what they have said.
So, I've tried to tabulate a few of these thoughts:

Jesus Christ

antichrist

 

 

Son of God

son of perdition

Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

II Thessalonians 2:3d the son of perdition;

 

 

express image of the Father

like his father the devil

Hebrews 1:3a Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person,

Revelation 13:1b  and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,

 

Revelation 12:3b  and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

 

 

mystery of Godliness

mystery of iniquity

1 Timothy 3:16a And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,

II Thessalonians 2:7a For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:

  4d  shewing himself that he is God.

 

 

man of sorrows

man of sin

Isaiah 53:3b  a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:

II Thessalonians 2:3c  and that man of sin be revealed

 

 

the Word      (large W)

that Wicked     (large W)

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

II Thessalonians 2:8a And then shall that Wicked be revealed,

 

 

all power

all power

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

II Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

 

 

Lamb of God

beast

John 1:29b Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Revelation 13:1b  and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,

 

 

came down from heaven

ascended out of the bottomless pit

John 6:38a For I came down from heaven,

Revelation 11:7b  the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them,

 

 

not his will

willful king

John 6:38b  not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

Daniel 11:36a And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself,

 

 

countenance as the sun

fierce countenance

Matthew 28:3a His countenance was like lightning,

 

Revelation 1:16c  and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

Daniel 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

 

 

glorified the Father

exalts himself and blasphemes the Father

John 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

II Thessalonians 2:4a Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God,

 

Revelation 13:6a And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name,

 

 

Jesus Christ

antichrist

 

 

given the words of the Father

given a mouth

John 17:8a For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me;

Revelation 13:5a And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;

 

 

the world hated him

all the world wonders

John 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

Revelation 13:3c  and all the world wondered after the beast.

 

 

hated both Jesus and the Father

worship both the antichrist and the devil

John 15:24b  but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

Revelation 13:4a And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast,

 

 

came in his Father’s name

  5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

  7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them:

 

 

John the Baptist in the spirit and power of Elijah

the false prophet imitates Elijah

Revelation 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

  13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

 

 

12 disciples

10 kings

Luke 9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

 

Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead,

Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

  8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

II Thessalonians 2:4a Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped;
