The beast is NOT the ANTICHRIST (here's PROOF)

Learn for yourself: The Beast of Revelation (666) is NOT the Antichrist. Many people who know sensationalism in religion can make millions are turning to Revelation to identify the Antichrist, but that’s not the proper place to look. A few minutes of your time with this video can correct some serious Bible study blunders.

Also Paul speaks of the lawless one.

And many equate the lawless one with the antichrist where that might be questionable to do so as well.

[shawnbrigance]

Good to know, I was trying to learn the difference between the Antichrist vs the Beast vs the false prophet vs the dragon

[mdmister-wq]

It is He Who hath made you (His) agents, inheritors of the earth: He hath raised you in ranks, some above others: that He may try you in the gifts He hath given you: for thy Lord is quick in punishment: yet He is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Okay this actually makes a lot of sense. Thank you for showing clear differences between the antichrist and the beast and using scripture to explain it.

Daniel's Vision Interpreted
Dan 7:15  I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Dan 7:16  I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
Dan 7:17  These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
Dan 7:18  But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
Dan 7:19  Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
Dan 7:20  And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
Dan 7:21  I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Dan 7:22  Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

Dan 8:5  And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
Dan 8:6  And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
Dan 8:7  And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Dan 8:8  Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
Dan 8:9  And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
Dan 8:10  And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Dan 8:11  Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

Dan 8:20  The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
Dan 8:21  And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Dan 8:22  Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
Dan 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.
Dan 8:24  And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
Dan 8:25  And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Dan 8:26  And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.

The Man of Lawlessness
2Th 2:1  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2Th 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.
2Th 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;
2Th 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, shewing himself that he is God.

The First Beast
Rev 13:1  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 
Rev 13:2  And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 
Rev 13:3  And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 
Rev 13:4  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 
Rev 13:5  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. 
Rev 13:6  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 
Rev 13:7  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 
Rev 13:8  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

1Jn 2:18  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

(that antichrist shall come) this is speaking of the antichrist the same one that will assum power over the world and will demand to be worshiped as God.

The beast, the little horn, the antichrist all one man. powered by the dragon, the dragon will get his desired worship, but it wont last but Until the Ancient of days came. see Zac 14, Jude 1:14-15, Rev 19:11-21

[deretla-topic]

Correct observation. "The Antichrist" is not biblical. It's a term that is commonly used to peak interest in those who seek intrigue over truth. The Quran does this as well. Thanks for the enlightening approach to this overlooked subject!

[joseph.bittick]

What you are claiming is as if the suffering servant who is pierced for our transgressions in Isaiah isn't Jesus, because Isaiah didn't use the exact name of Jesus. Or John the Baptist wasn't the Elijah to come and pave the way for Christ, because Malachi didn't use John's name. But Jesus draws the two.

I agree people tend to draw conclusions off of opinions. Also we are called to draw conclusions off of text pointing to or hinting towards text. John wrote those letters being led by the spirit and using his description of "antichrist". When John writes Revelation he is told to write what he sees/hears from God.

I agree the antichrist isn't the beast. He is the second beast. A false/anti Messiah with horns like a lamb. But even to your point, if John is saying a spirit of those against Christ is the antichrist, then both beasts still qualify.

[CarmineCorrente]

The Antichrist is called, in Revelation, the "dragon". And the dragon gives HIS power TO the first beast. The second beast demands the worship of the first beast. The false prophet will support the dragon and the two beasts, and a fifth figure, the whore of Babylon, will be a "rider" on the first beast. In total, we have FIVE distinct figures mentioned (other than the apocalyptic angels of the seven seals).

[isaacsamuel]

Wow, someone who has it right. The beast is not anti christ, the false prophet, even satan is not anti christ.

You are the only one i saw that spoke rightly. Almost everything bible related online is just sensationalism.

John wrote the epistles and still doesnt use the word in revelation.

People get carried away eith what they are taught in churches or tradition and dont wont to look at the Word of God for it is.

[AlmerCraft]

Praise God Almighty Most High there is no antichrist
Praise God, that he did say there will be false prophets and teachers, blasphemers, liars, devil and demons worshipers, lover of self than of God.We wrestle against unholy spiritual wickedness in high places Amen and Amen

[AT-victory]

Not trying to be offensive, but i think the view in this video IS a LOOSE view of Scripture. If calling the Beast of Revelation THE Antichrist is a problem., (who is Every bit an ANTICHRIST in every sense of how John described him), . . . Then call him what you will to make it easier for you.
None of that was explained in this video.
i am also troubled by how God's revelation to the world that pours out His Wrath, is reduce to an earlier time period focused on one very small section of the World (forced context), and does not even match the evil done in the world since. Surely their is a greater point to be made than that disagreeing with other views, as i do at times, but yet not exploring the alternate view .

[WayofYahushua]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ! ! !
AT LEAST SOMEONE READS THE BIBLE.

[lonestar]

MOVE OVER Let’s give the Antichrist some competition. Soon people will be living in “the Monster’s World”.

[bananaegger]

if the Antichrist isn't a person but a spirit so you can call the beast with the spirit of the antichrist antichrist

[mightymikeamps]

My friend and I have been debating this issue.

He thinks the Beast is only a System.

My opinion is that the Beast is an Empire, and the features of it describe its origin and what number of kingdoms it controls, but it also identifies its leader, and tells us the number of the beast, is a number of a man.

I also believe that the False Prophet is an actual person.

He thinks both are systems.

Then I said, “ how does a system get cast alive into the lake of fire, and still be there 1000 years later?”

My argument being that it seems only that only beings are cast into the lake of fire.

He had no good reply at first, until he showed the verse where Death and Hades are cast into the lake of Fire.

I’m still not convinced that the Beast doesn’t have a leader.

Then he shared this video.

My friend thinks everything in Revelations is symbolic, where I think it’s a mix between literal and symbolic.

I think what Hal Lindsay called the AntiChrist is the Man of Sin mentioned in Daniel.

[thirion]

There's no 666 but χξς', and this is the number you've got to calculate, but in Greek alphabet there are three double components, one of those is ξ=κ+σ=20+200=220, therefore χξς'=χ+κ+σ+ς'=826.It's an equation first's degree's with one stranger and you've got to read the Books(Old+New testaments) to find the data to solve it.Good luck.

2Th 2:5  Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
2Th 2:6  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2Th 2:7  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2Th 2:8  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2Th 2:9  Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

1Jn 2:18  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

Rev 13:8  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Rev 17:8  The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Rev 17:9  And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Rev 17:10  And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
Rev 17:11  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Rev 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.
Rev 17:13  These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Rev 17:14  These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

[jovanmontgomery]

Who will be more antichrist than the beast Of revelations? He will embody that spirit John spoke about.

Thanks for this, you do such a great job!

Thanks, good job! What would you say to Timothy Cohen?
