The Antichrist has had many foreshadowing's throughout history, but his fulfillment will put them all to shame. Yet regardless of his ministry of deception and copying everything Jesus did historically as his own, we can still be reminded of two key realities. God isn't moved by the 3 ½ years he'll be allowed to slander, accuse, and persecute the people of God. All we need to take away is that the major trials of life and death are endured by the same faith and patience that enduring every day temptations and opportunities to live for God provide for us.

1. The world wants a god that can make them happy even at the cost of truth, at it's exactly what they'll get.
2. The one and only power of the enemy is to deceive.
3. People who are faithful in living for Jesus will have the patience to die for Him when the time comes.
