The Most Interesting Man in the World
Path
Unlike the fictional beer commercials, the most interesting man in the world has yet to come. Dynamic, persuasive, and a breath of fresh air, this leader's diplomatic skills will be off the charts. On one hand, he will be everything the world has been waiting for; on the other hand, he will be its biggest nightmare.
Points
Wickedness (v. 1)
- In his vision, John saw the Antichrist as an insidious man--a beast.
- Though starting as a man of peace (see Revelation 6:2), the Antichrist will reveal his true colors halfway through the tribulation.
- In 1 Thessalonians 2, Paul called the Antichrist "the man of sin" (v. 3), "the lawless one" (vv. 8-9), and "the son of perdition" (v. 3).
World Dominance (vv. 1-2)
- The Antichrist will pull together one world-governing empire (see Daniel 7).
- He will rise from the sea, or the nations (see Isaiah 17; Revelation 17).
- He will promote globalism: a global network of political alliances with a single law and economy.
Wonder (v. 3)
- The Antichrist will be fully possessed by Satan. People will wonder at his ability and be mesmerized by his talent.
- Many will see him as a political savior, the bringer of peace in the Middle East and the world.
Worship (vv. 4, 8)
- People's fascination with the Antichrist will turn to adoration.
- In 2 Thessalonians 2:4, Paul said the Antichrist will "oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God" (NIV).
- The prefix anti means against, but it also means instead of.
- The Antichrist will be a counterfeit Christ, part of an illegitimate and unholy trinity: Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet.
Words (vv. 5-6)
- The Antichrist will sway people with his words.
- Daniel 7:8 describes him as "a mouth speaking pompous words."
War (vv. 7-10)
- Once the Antichrist succeeds in dominating the world, he will seek to eradicate the Jewish people and new believers (tribulation saints: those saved after the rapture).
- Daniel 7:25 states that he "shall persecute the saints of the Most High."
Practice
Connect Up: The first three and a half years of the Antichrist's reign will be peaceful, but the last three and a half years will bring about an abomination during which two-thirds of the Jewish people will die (see Zechariah 13:8-9). Why will God allow such desecration on the earth?
Connect In: Read Matthew 24. How can the church protect itself from deception?
Connect Out:
- Antichrist is called the man of sin; Jesus is the Sinless Man.
- Antichrist is the idol shepherd; Jesus is the Good Shepherd.
- Antichrist is pictured as a beast; Jesus is the Lamb.
- Antichrist's false death will be meant to deceive; Jesus' death was meant to save.
Pray for friends and family who are not yet Christians.
