    Anti-Christ or False Christ is one who comes out of the Earth. Why the Earth, the Beast out of the Sea is one who comes out of the world the sea of humanity. The beast out of the earth is one who comes out of Israel, he nation and people and therefore as the False Messiah he deceives Israel and the balance of the world claiming to fulfill prophecy. Even presenting himself by the same things Christ did and therefore the anti-christ while the beast is satan's man to rule over the earth and the three form the unholy trinity.

    The second beast serves the first beast who comes out of the sea.

    Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
    Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
    Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
    Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

    The first beast is given an image and all will worship him.
    No man can buy or sell unless he has the mark of the beast (first).
    This, of course, is the mark of the Antichrist, or 666, the same who rose out of the sea.

    As far as who which one is I don't believe we can read too much into their identities. We really don't know, except that the first is the antichrist and the second is the false prophet. But as to their ethnic background and other identifying features it is difficult to know.

    I believe God has warned us thru Napoleon and Hitler just how-easily one man with special satanic ability can come outta "nowhere" and become a great evil ruler. The coming antichrist will make those two look like naughty toddlers in comparison to evil, ability, and rulership. Scripture sez no man can defeat him.

    True, but this discussion is about the coming greatest, most-evil AC of all.

    I John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

    19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

    20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

    21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

    22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

    23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

    I John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

    2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

    3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

    II John 7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

    Why is the word Anti-Christ only mentioned four times in the bible and they are not in the book of Revelation but in the book of first and second John?... And is the Anti-Christ just one person or many persons?... According to what John says I agree with the quote of this brother!... Brother Glen
