All the books that give an account of end times have several verses reserved for the antichrist. Different words and descriptions are used with the most common being the dragon or beast. In the narrative by Daniel, he mentions it in his story on the seventieth week. The best person to refer to on the story of the resurrected Babylonian head is John the Apostle. He uses both the Revelation and his three letters to pass the message.
The first mention of the beast is in Revelation chapter 13. The description of that of Satan with ten horns and seven heads. It makes six appearances, each to represent a single head. These are representations of two entities that will be manifested during end times. There will be a kingdom or empire on one hand and a person on the other.
The origin of the beast is both from sea and land. The kingdoms that have ruled the world so far are Persia, Greece, Rome, Egypt and Syria, among others. God brought brutal kingdoms to punish Israelis whenever they went against his will especially through idolatry. The oppressive kings set out to separate the tribe of Judah or Israel from God. The ultimate rule will be by the final beast that will be very oppressive and destructive.
Verse 3 of Revelation 13 says that this beast has a fatal wound but it appears to have healed. Just like a warrior who is celebrated for his survival marks, this beast is followed throughout the world with amazement. The explanation is given in Chapter 17. It is also worth mentioning that there is a woman who appears alongside the beast.
Chapter seventeen on verse eight gives the account of death and resurrection of the beast. This is what makes the beast to appear more of a person than a kingdom or empire. However, the challenge is in the death and resurrection since this is an uncommon occurrence. This can only happen if the world conspires to cheat. However, is it possible for God to kill and later cause a tyrant king to resurrect?
The explanation to resurrection is contained in Thessalonians. This book says that God will send a delusion to the people for failing to listen and believe in the truth. This delusion causes them to believe and worship the beast that appears to rise or resurrect from death. This is the description given to the antichrist who will rule the world with violence and deceit.
It is obvious and as mentioned before that six kingdoms and kings have already passed. The concern of present generation Christians should be on the seventh. As the bible says, the reign of the seventh will not be more than three and a half years. He will die and later resurrect as the eighth king and kingdom. This is clearly illustrated in chapter 17 verses nine to eleven.
Is there a possibility that the seventh and eventual eighth beast is the Islamic empire? What is clear is that it-the antichrist, shall proclaim death to anyone who does not follow his declarations. It will rule with an iron fist and cause untold destruction. The only people who will be safe are those who believe in the lamb.
