Antichrist Revealed Today’s Lesson

The Beast & The False Prophet It’s the end of the Great Tribulation. When the Government of Satan, and the Religion of Satan are destroyed and the Beast and False prophet cast into the lake of fire, It is the beginning of the Battle of Armageddon. Satan’s full focus is now diverted to the Son of God, Jesus, who is riding to battle on a white horse. The consummation of the battle with victory for Christ and the armies of heaven is described in verse 20. The beast of Revelation 13:1-10 is taken and with him the false prophet, the second beast of Revelation 13:11-16. The false prophet is identified as the one who wrought miracles and deceived them that received the mark of the image (cf. 13:12-15). The doom of the beast and the false prophet culminates in their being cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. The lake of fire thus introduced is mentioned again in 20:15. By comparison with other scriptures, it seems that the beast and the false prophet are the first to inhabit the lake of fire. Unsaved who die prior to this time are cast into Hades, a place of torment, but not into the lake of fire, which is reserved for those who have been finally judged as unworthy of eternal life. Alford observes: “These only, and not the Lord’s human enemies yet, are cast into eternal punishment. The latter await the final judgment, ch. xx 11 ff.”302 These who were Satan’s masterpieces precede Satan himself to this final place of everlasting punishment into which he is cast a thousand years later (20:10). The rest of the wicked dead after being judged at the great white throne will follow the beast, the false prophet, and the devil into this eternal doom. Ironside comments on the capture of the beast and the false prophet in these words: Two men, be it noted, are taken alive. They are the two arch-conspirators who have bulked so largely in this book—the beast and the false prophet, the civil and religious leaders of the last league of nations, which will be Satan-inspired in its origin and Satan-directed until its doom. These two men are “cast alive into the lake burning with fire and brimstone,” where a thousand years later they are still said to be “suffering the vengeance of eternal fire,” thus incidentally proving that the lake of fire is not annihilation, and that it is not purgatorial either, for it neither annihilates nor purifies these two fallen foes of God and man after a thousand years under judgment.303

Revelation 20 The Reign of Christ In this Chapter, 100’s of old testament prophecies will be fulfilled…such as Jeremiah 23:5-6

Jeremiah 23:5-6 (NIV)   5 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD,    “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely    and do what is just and right in the land. 6 In his days Judah will be saved    and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called:    The LORD Our Righteous Savior.

Jesus’ Return – Second Coming Millennium = 1000 Years 1 Jesus’ Return – Second Coming Millennium = 1000 Years 1. Premillennium = Before 1000 Years 2. Amillennium = NONE 3. Postmillennium = After 1000 Years

Revelation 20 Satan is Bound Vs. 1-3 First Resurrection Vs. 5-6 Tribulation Saints Vs. 4 First Resurrection Vs. 5-6

Revelation 20 Loosing of Satan – Final Revolt Vs. 7-9 Satan in the Lake of Fire Vs. 10 Great White Throne Judgement Vs. 11 The Children born in the millenium are not all converted The children will not be tempted by Satan, and will love the will of God. So, when satan is released from the abyss after the 1000 years, will be able to easily deceive many of them and lead them in one final rebellion against God before their destruction. Whatever advantages, apart from the grace of God and the new birth, we remain enemies of God, at heart. The One sitting on the throne of the Great White Throne judgment is likely Jesus Christ himself, based on : John 5:22 Verse 11 indicates that there will likely be a new earth and new atmosphere that are created to be eternal.

Revelation 20 Judgment of the Wicked Dead Vs. 12-13 The Lake of Fire Hebrews 9:27 says, it is appointed unto man once to die, then the judgment. It is the ‘WICKED DEAD’ who are here being judged. These are those who were not a part of the first resurrection at the beginning of the 1000 year reign of Christ. There is no indication that there are any who are found righteous here. No names are found written. It appears that the judgment is a judgment of works to determine the level of punishment than for salvation. All of the final judgments are judgments of works, not judgments of salvation. The sheep and the goats of Matthew 25:31-36 are already determined. Those who die in the Millennium who are not saved are included in this judgment, but the millennial saints who died, are nowhere mentioned in the bible. They may well have either been resurrected immediately, or have a separate, later resurrection. Here in the Revelation of Christ, there are only two destinies ever mentioned. Heaven and Hell. (period)

Matthew 25:31-36   The Sheep and the Goats 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

Matthew 25:31-36   34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
