Msg Title: Unveiling the Antichrist 2
Date: 27th Nov, 2022
Last week we established that the antichrist is not yet revealed but his spirit has been activated. If you look around you the signs are obvious. We saw a few of those overwhelming signs last week.
On the 21st of this month, some sheep were caught on camera in China walking in circles continuously for 12 days. (Without eating, drinking or sleeping)
Question: When was the last time we saw animals doing things humans couldn’t comprehend?
Answer: The days of Noah – Matt 24:36-39, Gen 7:7-10 Amp
Animals are gathering and responding to His call yet humans are mocking like the days of Noah. – 2 Peter 3:3-10 NLT
We are focusing on the antichrist today, who is he? Where is he from? Is he a man, a woman? Or a spirit being?
• The antichrist is the man of sin – 2 Thes 2:1-3
• The antichrist is the son of perdition – 2 Thes 2:3, John 17:12 (Perdition means one destined to be destroyed)
• The antichrist is the lawless one – 2 Thes 2:8
• The antichrist is the beast – Dan 7:11
CAN WE UNVEIL THE ANTICHRIST NOW?
Question: WHO IS THE ANTICHRIST? WHO WILL HE BE? – Rev 13:11-18 (vs 18 AMP)
• The antichrist will be a man and his name will reveal his true identity.
• The number 666 is the total sum of his name when calculated
Now listen: John wrote this for future readers like us right? But he also wrote it for those alive as at the time aswell right? If so, that means he expected them to be familiar with this name through the number 666 when calculated. HOW?
In Hebrew every letter has a number assigned to it. For example the name David in Hebrew is דָּוִד and calculated is 4 6 4 which sums up to 14. This can be calculated with Gematria calculator in Hebrew.
Question: IS THERE ANY NAME JOHN’S FOLLOWERS/ AUDIENCE AS AT THAT TIME CAN IDENTIFY AS THE ANTICHRIST THROUGH THE NUMBER 666?
Answer: YES!
Question: BUT THERE COULD BE MANY HEBREW NAMES WHEN CALCULATED EQUALS 666?
Answer: YES! BUT IF THERE ARE MANY NAMES THAT EQUALS 666, THERE MUST BE ONE NOTABLE NAME AMONGST THEM THAT STANDS OUT FOR BOTH JOHN’S GENERATION AND GENERATIONS UNBORN TO REMEMBER AND IDENTIFY AS THE ANTICHRIST BECAUSE OF IT’S SIGNIFICANCE.
Question: IS THERE A FAMOUS NOTABLE NAME IN HEBREW THAT BOTH JOHN’S GENERATION, OURS AND THOSE YET UNBORN CAN CALCULATE AND SUMS 666?
Answer: YES- NERO CAESAR!
Remember I told you every Hebrew letter is assigned with a number so when the name Nero Caesar is calculated in Hebrew it equals 666. See below for details:
Nero Caesar in Hebrew is – נרון קסר NRON QSR, which when interpreted numerically represents the numbers 50 200 6 50 100 60 200, which add up to 666
Nero was a Roman emperor that reigned from AD 54 to AD 68 from the age of 16. He hated Christians with a passion and persecuted them in a very ungodly manner.
He detains Christians and assembles them chained in colosseums and then releases lions to tear them apart while others are for entertainment.
He hung and burnt christian and used them as street light at night.
Nero persecuted Christians for three and a half years, guess what? The antichrist will do exactly same. – Dan 7:25 Amp
Question: IF NERO IS DEAD, HOW THEN CAN HE BE THE ANTICHRIST?
Answer: There is a belief that Nero will return after his death but the Bible is our standard and reference, so let’s see what that bible says – Rev 17:8-11 (Amp & NLT)
ONCE WAS = ONCE LIVED, NOW IS NOT = PRESENTLY DEAD, WILL COME OUT THE BOTTOMLESS PIT = WILL RETURN FROM HELL
THIS MEANS THE ANTICHRIST ONCE LIVED, DIED AND WILL RETURN FROM HELL AT AN APPOINTED TIME
FINAL QUESTION: HOW WILL IT BE POSSIBLE FOR THE BEAST THAT WAS DEAD TO ASCEND OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT KNOWING SATAN CAN’T RAISE THAT DEAD?
Answer: Because God will open the bottomless pit for judgement on earth Rev 9:1-12 NLT
ABADDON = DESTRUCTION
ANTICHRIST = SON OF PERDITION (DESTRUCTION)
APOLLYON = THE DESTROYER!
In closing, the antichrist is the false christ and will try to do everything our Lord & Savior did to deceive people. Everything Christ did, the antichrist will try to do.
CHRIST

2. Jesus’ ministry was 3.5 years
3. We worship Jesus
4. Jesus resurrected from the dead & grave
5. Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit as the mark of Christ
6. Jesus started His ministry at age 30

6. Nero Ceasar died at age 30 and will be revealed as the antichrist at age 30
Prayers:
Father have mercy and deliver the world from the deception of the antichrist.
Father save me – may I not witness the days of the antichrist
Father, expose every agent of the antichrist and deliver Your people
