D oes it seem strange at first sight to have two animals mentioned in the same title or sentence? Does that combination pique your interest and kindle a desire to find out more?
In essence, this book is about the contrasting characters of the wild Beast and the Lamb as revealed in Scripturethe false christ and the true Christ. The Beast and the Lamb represent two completely opposite natures. The wild Beast is cunning, deceitful, arrogant, boastful, vicious, cruel, treacherous, murderous, despotic and dominating. In contrast, the Lamb is truthful, peaceable, humble, meek, pure, strong, simple and self-sacrificial.
The Bible reveals that Satan is behind the Beast, while Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. A third creature we will discuss in some detail is the Dovewhich represents the Holy Spirit. (Later in this book, we will learn more about this key note: The Holy Spirit will only rest and remain on the nature of the Lamb.)
You and I have a choice before us. We will either choose to cultivate the nature of the Lamb or the nature of the Beast. Unfortunately, most believers have never been taught how to discern the difference between these two natures. Nor have most of us realized that, by our thoughts and actions, we are presently assuming one nature or the other. Of even greater significance, we have not been informed that this intrinsic choice will actually determine our ultimate destiny in life.
Unapologetically, this book represents a very significant and important part of Gods total revelation concerning the end times. I believe that Christians who do not take the trouble to find out the basic teaching of the Word of God about the Antichrist and the spirit of Antichrist are in great danger of being swept away by deception.
For our protection and enlightenment, God has made knowledge available to usand we are responsible to find it and decide what we should do with it.
This is not an easy study. To get the most out of it, you will need to use your mind to comprehend and follow the revelation of Scripture. Lets trust God together to give us understanding and insight.
We will examine a great deal of content in this book. Here is my advice and encouragement: Do not try to read through it too quickly. Take time to let these truths soak in. Otherwise, as with a hard rain on dry ground, there may be runoff, and you may not receive the refreshing rain you need. If you will allow yourself to be immersed in this content about the Beast, the Lamb (and the Dove), availing yourself of the Word and the Spirit, you will be able to absorb these truths to the fullest extent.
Much has been written about the end timessome of it by me. But I believe that if you allow this message to penetrate deep into your heart, it will not only prepare you to live an effective, empowered life here on earth in the challenging days ahead, it will also prepare you for a glorious eternity in the presence of the Lamb.
Understanding the Nature of the Wild Beast
Very often in life, it is necessary for us to look at the negative to fully appreciate the positive. How can we be thankful for warmth if we have never been cold? How can we appreciate springtime if we have not survived the winter? How can we savor the day unless we have endured the night?
In the spiritual dimension, you and I can take this principle even deeper by asking ourselves: Can I truly appreciate the life Jesus bought for me on the cross if I have not followed Him through death, burial and resurrection?
In seeking to understand and appreciate the glory, the power and the wonder of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, it is necessary to start by looking at Hisand ourgreatest opponent: Satan. In the first part of this book, we will examine some of what Scripture reveals about Satan, the Beast and the Antichrist.
M ANY A NTICHRISTS
W hat do we mean by antichrist? It is important for us first to know the meaning of the word itself. The word Christ is taken from the Greek word Christos , which corresponds to the Hebrew word Meshiach , or in English, Messiah. It means the Anointed One.
When we speak about Jesus Christ, we are speaking about Jesus the Messiah. Thus the Antichrist is someone who is the anti-Messiah.
The Double Meaning of Anti
The preposition anti in front of christ or messiah has two meanings, both of which apply to the Antichrists activities. First of all, anti means against or opposing. Of course, we use that regularly in modern speech, for example in the terms antibacterial or antisocial . But the other meaning is less well understood. It means in place of.
