In this installment of his series, retired pastor Charles Douglas opens by briefly recommending RTN (a Christian TV/radio network offering music and Bible teaching) and then turns to the third theme: “The Beast to Come”—the Antichrist as the ultimate personification of false anointing under Satan. Framing the topic as a set of starter thoughts for personal or small-group study rather than an exhaustive end-times chart, he defines “antichrist” from John’s letters (as denial of Jesus’ true deity and true humanity), notes the recurring influence of deception (including a modern resurgence of gnostic-like distortions), and explains Satan’s work in terms of strategic (ultimate aim to exalt himself like the Most High) and tactical (ongoing preconditioning of minds through authoritative platforms—political, financial, and religious). Douglas then walks through key texts—especially Revelation 12–13, Daniel, and 2 Thessalonians—highlighting the beast rising from the turbulent “sea” of humanity and the dragon empowering him, the beast’s blasphemous self-exaltation and persecution of saints, and the coming certainty of Christ’s victory as King of kings. He also introduces the “second beast” (the false prophet) as a religious deceiver who performs signs to enforce worship, briefly weighs interpretive options around the “mortal wound” and the “image” (including but not limited to technological possibilities), and repeatedly emphasizes a sobering theme of divine sovereignty—the beast is “allowed” authority for a limited time—alongside a pastoral warning to stay spiritually alert, sober-minded, and grounded in Scripture amid accelerating deception.
