Has The Antichirst Already Been Summoned 2020+

Introduction

This study has been in the works for several years. I’m 99% convince back in early 2020 that we are now living in a prelude of “the mark of the Beast” Rev 13:15-18 with the coming Rapture drawing near 1 Thess 4:17

After the Rapture, will begin the seven year Tribulation period -prophecied in Dan 9:24-27 tying in perfectly with Books like Revelation 4-22, Matthew 24 , Thessaionans 1 Thess 4:16, 2 Thess 2:3-12 and of corse Daniel 3, 7, 9, 12 among other books of the bible

This study hopes to shed some light on those bible passages that clearly, speak to us today- about God’s Final Plan for this world, helping us be more ready and alert!

I feel Rev 13 is a strong central theme to this study of God’s eschotological end time design

Rev 13:1-18 starts out with how Satan stood on the sand of the sea shores - summoning the 1st Beast,”that Diabolical Antichrist” who will do Satans bidding raising HVAC throughout the whole world

This Antichrist, may very well, have already been summoned? This would explain the worldly chaos ‘birth pain’ Matt 24:8 tells us and the obvious state of chaos our world is in today

This study also intends on answering 3 major question

Are we living in the last days 2 Thess 2:3-12, Dan 7, 9, 12, Rev 11, 13, 17, 19

Is the Covid pandemic the prelude of the Mark of the Beast Rev 13:16

Has Satan Already Summoned the Antichrist Rev 13:1-2

The antichrist will deny fundamental truths about Jesus Christ

2 John 7 ESV

For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.

See also Mt 24:24; Mk 3:29; 1 Jn 2:22; 1 Jn 4:3

Th antichrist as a self-appointed rival to God

2 Thessalonians 2:3–4 ESV

Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

See also Da 7:7–8; Da 7:24–25; Da 8:9–12; Da 8:23–25; Da 11:36–45; Re 13:1–10; Re 13:11–18

The coming of the antichrist is a sign of the “last days”

1 John 2:18 ESV

Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.

See also 2 Th 2:6–10

The final defeat of the antichrist is assured

2 Thessalonians 2:8 ESV

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming.
