Satan
is coming to earth (soon) as Antichrist, disguised as Jesus Christ.
2 Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed * into an angel of light.
* transformed G3345 metaschematizo, met-askh-ay-mat-id'-zo; from G3326 and a der. of G4976; to transfigure or disguise; fig. to apply (by accommodation):--transfer, transform (self); to change.
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations !
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
2 Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2 Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2 Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Rev 13:11 And I beheld
* another * beast coming
* up out of the earth
* ; and he had two horns like *a
lamb, and he spake * as a dragon*.
* beheld G1492 eido, i'-do; a prim. verb; used only in certain past tenses, the others being borrowed from the equiv. G3700 and G3708; prop. to see (lit. or fig.); by impl. (in the perf. only) to know:--be aware, behold, X can (+ not tell), consider, (have) known (-ledge), look (on), perceive, see, be sure, tell, understand, wist, wot. Comp. G3700.
G3700 optanomai, op-tan'-om-ahee; a (mid.) prol. form of the prim. (mid.) optomai, op'-tom-ahee, which is used for it in certain tenses; and both as alt. of G3708; to gaze (i.e. with wide-open eyes, as at something remarkable; and thus differing from G991, which denotes simply voluntary observation; and from G1492, which expresses merely mechanical, passive or casual vision; while G2300, and still more emphatically its intens. G2334, signifies an earnest but more continued inspection; and G4648 a watching from a distance):--appear, look, see, shew self.
* another G243 allos, al'-los; a prim. word; "else," i.e. different (in many applications):--more, one (another), (an-, some an-) other (-s, -wise).
* coming G305 anabaino, an-ab-ah'ee-no; from G303 and the base of G939; to go up (lit. or fig.):--arise, ascend (up), climb (go, grow, rise, spring) up, come (up).
* earth G1093 ge, ghay; contr. from a prim. word; soil; by extens. a region, or the solid part or the whole of the terrene globe (includ. the occupants in each application):--country, earth (-ly), ground, land, world.
* like G3664 homoios, hom'-oy-os; from the base of G3674; similar (in appearance or character):--like, + manner.
* spake G2980 laleo, lal-eh'-o; a prol. form of an otherwise obsol. verb; to talk, i.e. utter words:--preach, say, speak (after), talk, tell, utter. Comp. G3004
* dragon G1404 drakon, drak'-own; prob. from an alt. form of derkomai (to look); a fabulous kind of serpent (perh. as supposed to fascinate):--dragon.
Rev 13: 11 is saying that another beast is going to arise out of the world (New World Order) and he will have power and look like Jesus Christ. (lamb) But he speaks like a DRAGON.
WHY does he speak like a dragon? Because he is the DRAGON !
He is also called the old serpent, the Devil, Satan, the son of perdition, little horn, beast, Abaddon and Apollyon, (in the Hebrew and Greek they both mean the destroyer) the adversary, prince of Tyrus, the son of the morning, the abomination of desolation, the deceiver, the wicked one, Death, the Assyrian (Ezek 31: 3-9), the Enemy (Matt 13: 39),etc, etc, and etc. And lets not forget the most important one of all, the ANTICHRIST.
What is this
Gospel Armour ?
You must have it on and in place, if you are going to STAND against Antichrist (Satan) when he arrives on this earth.
The Word
Of GOD
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Rom 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
1 Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be
sober, putting on the breastplate
of faith
and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
2 Cor 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
DON'T BE CAUGHT WITHOUT YOUR
GOSPEL ARMOUR

Take Up Your Cross And Follow Me!
