The Global Leader.
We are now shown details of the leader of this `beastly` Gentile Global Government. He is called the Anti-Christ and is the 7th king, leader that becomes ruled over by Satan.
He comes from the Middle East, from the region of Iraq. He is called the Assyrian and later the King of the city of Babylon in Iraq. (Isa. 31: 4 – 8 14: 4) He is the Islamic Confederation`s long awaited leader.
He arises to power by making a peace treaty with Israel after the Russian War. (Dan.9: 27 & Ez. 39: 9) His charismatic personality together with his amazing ability to bring wisdom to the world`s problems, amazes the everyone. However in the midst of this he seemingly is `killed,` by a sword. The whole world mourns but then he `miraculously` comes to life.
` And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded,
and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marvelled and followed the beast.`
(Rev. 13: 3)
People marvel and then honour Satan as the one who empowers this man. With the Anti-Christ as their leader they believe at last nothing can stop mankind in its pursuit of total control of their destiny.
`So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast;
and they worshiped the beast saying,
“Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”`
(Rev. 13: 3 & 4)
Then Satan, with prideful arrogance through the Anti-Christ boasts of his supremacy, his greatness and speaks evil of God, blaspheming God`s authority and power.
`And he was given a mouth speaking great things & blasphemies,
and he was given authority to continue for 42 months.
Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God,
to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, & those who dwell in heaven.`
(Rev. 13: 5 & 6)
Thus begins a 42 month (3 ½ yrs) reign of terror over all tribes, nations and tongues. Those who do not worship Satan and the Anti-Christ are hunted down & many are killed.
`It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them.
And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, & nation.
All who dwell on the earth will worship him,
whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb
slain from the foundation of the world.
If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity;
he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword.
Here is the patience & faith of the saints.`
(Rev. 13: 7 – 10)
