The "Lie"

Those who "profess" christianity only are not believers in the first place and are no different that the rest of unbelieving humanity ..... they do not belong to Jesus Christ and these living at the time will be subjected to His coming hour of trial and wrath [the tribulation period] just like the rest of the world. [Matthew 25:1-13; Revelation 3:16]

These refuse to believe the truth about Jesus Christ, even if they come in His name, just as all of intransigent humanity, and they are no different .... unfortunately the world is full of these people today and the Lord will judge them. [Matthew 24:4-5; Psalms 2]

In the process He will allow for satanic infestation by removing restraint against satan and the fallen angelics and they will be sent and sequestered upon the earth during the tribulation period .... because the world refuses to believe the truth about Him, He will give them the devil. The world is moving closer toward this setting and there are, both pseudo-christian and non-christian factions, who are seeding the winds of deception for the cause. [2Thessalonians 2:8-12]

This satanic infestation will produce many supernatural and strange conditions upon the earth and the hallmark of satan's beast will be his capacity to make war and to defeat all human effort against him .... he will conquer without failure and none will stop him. [Revelation 6:13; 8:10; 9:1-11; 9:13-21; 12:7-12; 13:4-8; 13:11-15]

His core followers will admire his astounding success against nations, their governments, and certainly the nation of Israel of which he will invade and occupy .... his followers will believe his claims to be a "god" as he moves to conquer the world. [Daniel 11:36-45]

He will be followed and admired by many as he destroys their enemies by killing hundreds of thousands in one devastating blow after the other .... nothing will stand in his way and his angelic and human armies will ravage the earth and those who refuse to submit will be hunted down and killed. [Daniel 8:23-25; 11:36-44; Revelation 6:4-11; 9:5,18; 13:7; 14:13; 20:4(those beheaded)]

This action will be the "lie" and delusion that the Lord will send to the followers of satan's beast who will think that he is a "god" ..... then the Lord Himself will turn on the beast and his kingdom of followers, destroy them just at the end of the tribulation period, and restore the kingdom to Israel. [Ezekiel 38:39; Joel 2:20-32; 3:1-21; Micah 4:1-3; 5:1-15; Zechariah 14:1-16; Acts 1:6-7; Revelation 14:14-20; 16:1-16; 19:11-21]

Keep in mind that this beast will not be an ordinary human, he is a fallen angelic possessing excessive destructive powers imputed by satan .... he will appear as nothing the world has ever seen in the human little horn of Daniel's visions .... and this angelic king of the abyss cannot be killed by ordinary means which will astonish the world .... only the Lord can destroy angelics in His lake of fire. [Jude 1:6; Revelation 9:11; 11:7; 13:2-4; 17:8; 19:20]

This is the "lie" and delusion that satan will be allowed to present to a world of humans who will follow and perish in the process .... this will all be part of the Lord's judgment against humanity for their unbelief and rejection of Him .... and He will also at the same time ultimately destroy satan's ploy by eliminating his angelic and human agents and then capture and send him to the abyss. The next objective will be to destroy him forever. [Revelation 20:1-3; 20:7-10]

The Lord never looses a battle and His ways are unfettered, even by satan and his manipulations .... He will draw satan in to the fray .... and then crush him .... while the devil is watching one hand, the Lord will kill him with the other. [Genesis 3:14-15]

 

"Nothing will stand in his way?"

Not during his rise and rule over a period of 2520 days .... he will succeed in all that he sets out to do

The 144,000 and the Lord's two prophets will be guaranteed protection .... but no others

And he will be allowed to kill the two prophets

Then in the next 30 days the Lord will turn on the beast and his followers and destroy them

I believe that these will be the muslims of the Middle East
