The Tribulation

The FALSE

Prophet

(Rev 13:11-18) 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. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast

before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the

beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and

cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and

great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast,

or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the

number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

II. The DECEPTION of the false Prophet

A. The deception

of POINTING all worship to the false

Christ

(Rev 13:12) And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly

wound was healed.

The Holy Spirit of

God

(Joh 14:16-17) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even

the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither

knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

The Holy Spirit of

God

(Joh 15:26) But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

The Holy Spirit of

God

(Joh 16:13-14) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he

speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of

mine, and shall shew it unto you.

I Corinthians 14

(1Co 14:22) Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that

believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying

serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

(1Co 1:22) For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after

wisdom:

B. The deception

of PROMINENT

seal

(Rev 13:16) And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and

bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their

foreheads:

The Holy Spirit of

God (Eph 1:13-14) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of

your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy

Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of

his glory.

The Holy Spirit of

God

(Eph 4:30) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed

unto the day of redemption.

(Rev 13:16) And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and

bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their

foreheads:

(Rev 14:9-11) And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,

If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same

shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without

mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy

angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his

name.

(Rev 20:4) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment

was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were

beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which

had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their

foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ

a thousand years.

(Rev 16:1) And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways,

and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

(Rev 16:2) And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth;

and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which

had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his

image.

III. The DIABOLICAL power of the false

Prophet

(Rev 13:13-15) And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that

dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the

sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make

an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he

had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast

should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the

beast should be killed.

A. The power to change

PERCEPTION

B. The power PUT an end to your life

(Rev 13:13-15) And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down

from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which

he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the

earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the

image of the beast should be killed.

(Rev 20:4) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God,

and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned

with Christ a thousand years.
