Scriptures That Point to the Antichrist Figure
While there continues to be many speculations about this figure, God wants us to be aware of the times in which we now live.
Here below are many scriptures that speak of this elusive figure. I have gathered several scriptures that speak of this person, and have gleaned some information from Brother James Key.
However, I have rewritten much here in my own words concerning this so that we would all be aware of as we attempt to understand more fully about this person.
As I’ve said, many others have speculated about who this person this, but here at least, you can study these scriptures below and see them for yourself.
I ask that those who respond do so decently and respectful. I’m not naming a certain person here and yet when you search out these portions of scripture, it will become much more evident.
Now is the time to be aware of this person’s rise to power, for I truly believe that the stage is now being set for his eventual rise to power.
- “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,” 2 Thessalonians 2:3.
A great falling away happens when many accept what is being said and told to them, when actually these things are in opposition to the truth.
- “I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer,” Revelation 6:2.
The U.S.A. has the greatest military in the world and the AC will have access to this military. This figure will conquer and subjugate those in his midst.
- “He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will magnify himself above them all,” Daniel 11:37.
The beast will lust after money, power, women, (unbridled) and everything. He is a beast. This means that he would treat women as objects. This does not mean that he would be a homosexual, but rather that he would act wantonly as a beast.
- “And through his shrewdness He will cause deceit to succeed by his influence; and he will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many while they are at ease. He will even oppose the Prince of princes, But he will be broken without human agency,” Daniel 8:25.
This person makes himself out to be superior above everyone else. This person will be an absolute dictator. Everyone else is inferior and needs to get in line with everything he says and does. This person is totally self-absorbed.
- “It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him,” Revelation 13:7.
The US military has about 800 based around the world, in about 70 countries. It is the largest military force in the world. Through this great military might he will be able to subdue everyone.
- “And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within,” Micah 5:6.
“And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined,” Daniel 9:26-26.
This person is of both Assyrian and Roman descent. After many, many years the Assyrian people have now migrated and have blended into most peoples of the earth.
The Roman people destroyed the city before and this person will then also have been of Roman descent. We are not told in the bible where his place of birth was, but simply that he came from both Assyrian and Roman stock.
The Rhine River area in southwestern Germany has a people who have a mixture of this heritage and descent.
The area of Trier is an ancient location in Germany that was settled centuries before the time of Christ. According to historical records, the ancient city of Trier, was settled by an Assyrian prince named Trebeta.
The prince fled his native land and traveled westward with many followers into this region of Germany. And then in the 1st Century BC, this area of present-day Germany was attacked by the Romans, and then became a settling point for Roman officials.
At one time it became the foremost hub of Constantine. And so then, the peoples intermingled with the Assyrians and the Romans. This person’s family came from the small town of Kallstadt which is just about 87 miles from Trier.
- “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,” Revelation 13:18.
In the ceiling of this person’s penthouse the sun god of Apollyon, Baal, and Beelzebub are honored.
The god of forces is honored at this former residence and if one observes the configuration of the building there, they will notice that this tower has an inverted triangle built into the exterior, (six steps on one side, six on another side, and also on one other side, thus forming a triangle. This nothing to do with the physical address. The sun god’s number is: 6, 6, 6.)
- “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,” Daniel 8:9.
This person begins as a nationalist.
Hitler most likely was a forerunner of the AC figure. He was a nationalist that wanted to make Germany great again, and yet he wanted to expand his empire beyond Germany.
The AC doesn’t arrive as a globalist; he arrives as a nationalist who then becomes a globalist. He starts out small and then grows in power.
- “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,” Daniel 8:25..
Even Hitler claimed to be a Christian, but his Christianity is much different, in that it claimed a superiority of a certain race of people over others.
Just because a person has other Christians come in and talk and pray with them doesn’t make them a Christian. It can be a certain type of “pandering” to them.
This is especially true when religious groups from different faiths are allowed to be a part of this person’s audience. This person would attempt to unite all religions. This person panders to all religious groups.
- “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate,” Daniel 9:27.
He will be adored by the people of Israel; he only needs to be acceptable by the Jewish priests and leaders. This person needs to have a heritage and may be called Cyrus or a new King David. Certain parts of Israel are already being named now after this person.
- “And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered,” Daniel 8:12.
The AC is a liar and truth is nowhere to be found in him. This is a person who lies continually and yet many of the people will still accept this person as telling the truth.
- “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,” 2 Thessalonians.2:8.
What this person says is the absolute truth. He doesn’t want anyone to disagree or to dispute what he has to say.
- “I am come in My Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive,” John 5:43.
This person will come “in his own name.” Perhaps his name will be put on products, buildings, etc..
- “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,” Revelation 13:2.
This person is the most boastful person who exalts himself about everything.
- “And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries,” Daniel 11:21.
The Bible says that this person will be a vile person. This person doesn’t have any decency or integrity. This person would be filthy person who says filthy things.
- “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,” 2 Thessalonians 2:9.
- “I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things,” Daniel 7:8.
This person’s last name means “horn,” or a trumpet.
- “And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army,” Revelation 19:19.
Jesus was loved by the sinners but hated by the self-righteous. The AC will be a person who is loved by the self-righteous.
- “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,” Daniel 8:24.
This person would use at his dispense all forms of power, including nuclear.
- “And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries,” Daniel 11:21.
This person will come as one who flatters others. While politicians are known as leaders who sometimes flatter others, this person will be prone to do this in extreme ways.
- “And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition,” Revelation 17:11.
The AC would be like the resurrected Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar was the 6thking, and the 8th king would be the revived 8th king.
- “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son,” 1 John 2:22.
This person may “claim” these things but will not say that Jesus is his Lord and Savior, and that he needs forgiveness.
Thus, he denies Christ. This person can make many speeches and say these things but what is his testimony? (He says, “I don’t bring that into that picture; I don’t need forgiveness.”)
He would pray with the Christians or the Hindus or any other religious leaders.
I have written about this figure before but I decided to go more into depth to illustrate various places in scripture where many have disputed and perhaps have wondered about.
Many have speculated as I have said, over the years, and yet when a certain individual fits all of the criteria then we must examine the scriptures to see what is said about him.
Selah,

Stephen Hanson of In His Truth Ministries came to The LORD is a special way in 1975 and has prophesied regularly since. In these end-time birthing pangs we are reminded that judgment must first begin with the household of God. Will we be prepared and ready?
The truth is the truth with no excuses based on our “opinions “ if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is a duck. How many are deceived by straining at a knat , to make this man who they want him to be?. Has the church lost all discernment?.? He bought the loyalty of the people who support him by appealing to their fears of immigrants and making grand and boastful promises. Yet at his core he is purification, he doesn’t know God and is driven by a lying spirit. Yet part of the church puts more of their trust in him than they do the one who provides eternal salvation. SAD
The Antichrist will not be an American but will rise out of the Middle East.
No, that is what many still think. Read the scriptures I’ve provided here.
Amen.
Good summary of scriptures. Clearly there have been many antichrists who can be identified by these revelations. Even so, some refuse to understand. But that, too, is the fulfillment of scripture.
There have been many who have speculated and continue to speculate, but when a person looks through this criteria, then only a certain person CLEARLY fits this label.
Revelation 6:2 is not referring to the anti christ, but the prince of princes from Daniel 8:5.
Revelation 2:26–27 (LEB): And the one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, I will give him authority over the nations, 27 and “he will shepherd them with an iron rod; he will break them in pieces like jars made of clay
1 John 5:5 (LEB): Now who is the one who conquers the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
John 16:7–8 (LEB): For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he* comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment
John 5:27 (LEB): And he has granted him authority to carry out judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
“I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer,” Revelation 6:2.
Dont confuse yourself as this verse above is in direct opposition to the Rider On the White Horse as seen in Rev.18
Hi Stephen,
The four horses in Rev.6 represents God’s timetable so you must look at in the same way you look at a clock which is divided in four ‘quarters’.
The Lord says He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
The first white horse – which therefore automatically will be the last – is the Kingdom of God which starts in the beginning of all time with Christ and shall defeat and conquer all other kingdoms throughout the ages. The last kingdom is death and hell which on the clock represent 21:00-00 where 00:00 represent that time no longer exists.
This last kingdom of death and hell is where we are right now.
During this last kingdom which is the fourth and last part on God’s clock, is also the same as the fourth and last generation which shall return to the Father which is described in Gen.15:16
“in the fourth (last quarter on the clock) generation they shall come hither again”
In the same verse we can also read that the ‘iniquity’ must be fulfilled , that is why we find ourselves in this living hell right now when every wickedness that possible can be imagine seems to be played out.
When Jesus says that the gate of hell cannot stand against His church He means that we, through our obedience to Him will come out from that hell in this last time.
Jesus is the conqueror on the white horse in Rev.6:2 The Lord is the only one who has a Bow and a Crown as well as the key to hell and death.
“I have the keys of hell and of death (the last of Satan’s kingdoms on earth). Rev.1:18
Maria, while I understand what you’re saying, you are mistaken about the identify of the first horse. (Let’s not argue over the point please. Sometimes many Christians have had the wrong teachings about these things, and then become quite stubborn and not willing to see them in the truth of what the scriptures are actually saying. )
As I said above “I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer,” Revelation 6:2.
Dont confuse yourself as this verse above is in direct opposition to the Rider On the White Horse as seen in Rev.18
He who sits on the White horse is the antichrist who masquerades as our Christ for a season, and whose time and power are granted only by our God Almighty.
The sign of that we are in the end of times is not the rising of ‘one’ antichrist but that we re surrounded by antichrists.
There is only one Christ and that is the one who hear and obey the Father everything else is ‘antichrist’.
In other words, searching the antichrist can very well be as searching the own glasses while they are placed on the own head if one not constantly speaks only what one hear the Spirit of the Lord say.
“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 (because they are everywhere in the Body of Christ ‘teaching Christ’ but without hearing and obeying the Father) 1John 2:18
You ‘confess’ that Jesus Christhas come into your flesh when you speak what you hear the Father say, not by ‘loudly’ say the words ‘I confess that Jesus has come in the flesh’;
“For many deceivers are entered into the world (preaching Jesus Christ, but) who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (because they do not hear the father speak). THIS is a deceiver and AND antichrist.2John 1:7

And yet there is clearly ONE and the ONE is the ONE we should be clearly concerned about.
Amen
