Over the past two weeks, we’ve been discussing the false prophet, also known as the second beast, who is the focus of our current text. Unlike the Antichrist, who will be openly hostile and aggressive, the false prophet will present himself as calm, composed, reasonable, and even caring. He will appear to have the world’s best interests at heart, making him all the more dangerous. In every way, he will be a wolf in sheep’s clothing—subtle in his deception, yet incredibly persuasive.

Pastor Pete's goal in this message is to help you understand one crucial truth: this subtle deceiver will have substantial power.
