The dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. … It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. —Revelation 12:17; 13:7,
When Christ returns, powerful, pervasive, and universal lies will be backed by the most believable signs and wonders ever witnessed on Earth. What will life on Earth be like during these dark times? Let’s look again at the verses from Revelation 12 and 13 above to remind us.
When Jesus came to earth, He was God in human flesh; as the Christ, He was the expression of all the promises of God. To think that Christ, in all His grace and beauty, came to earth, stayed for thirty-plus years, was rejected as false and fake, and almost no one followed Him, is bad enough. But to know that Satan is going to send to earth the expression of all of mankind’s desires in the person of the Antichrist, and in a very short time, almost all the world will follow him, is absolutely heart-wrenching!
Imagine a leader as winsome as Reagan, as fearless as Alexander the Great, as mesmerizing as Hitler, as beloved by his people as George Washington, as great a leader as Moses, as unstoppable as Ghenghis Khan, and as spiritually charismatic as David—all in ONE man.
Now imagine that man openly displaying supernatural power in public and being seen worldwide through electronic media! It will appear that he is from heaven, and he will claim to be God. He will do miracles everyone can see and believe in, and then offer himself to the world as their Christ.
A day is coming soon when most people will want to follow this ultimate “Superman.” That is the saddest commentary on the fallen heart of humanity there could ever be—always wanting the wrong choice!
We have had several warm-up acts by Satan for this future main event of the final Antichrist. We can see the way Satan works most clearly in the life and accomplishments of Adolph Hitler. Hitler showed the world how just one man can lift a nation from the depths of economic ruin to the heights of power in a very short time (1933-1939)—and then lead the world into the deadliest war of all time (1939-1945). In six years Hitler came uncomfortably close to conquering the world, which is a vivid example of how Satan can indwell and completely harness one man
