SIGNS OF THE MAN OF SIN-THE ANTICHRIST (Part 2)

In the first part of this article we discussed some of the prominent signs of the Antichrist. Now let’s discuss the rest of them.

"The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour".
(Revelations 17 verse # 12)

The ten horns or beasts here represent the ten kings who are going to rule the world with the help of powers given to them by the Antichrist

"While I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it" (Daniel 7 verse # 8)

The three horns here represent three kingdoms which were pulled up from the roots i.e. destroyed. These were the Babylonian empire of Nebuchadnezzar, the Medo-Persian Empire and the Greek empire of Alexander.

"Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious [land]”. (Daniel 8 verse # 9)

“Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.” (Psalm 22:21)

Little horn is one of many names given to the Antichrist in books of Christianity and by modern day scholars. So the little horn here represents the Antichrist himself.

Among these, there is another astounding fact highlighted in the BIBLE which says that the largest of the nations would serve the Antichrist. The phrase “ICH DIEN” seen in the image below is actually a German phrase which literally means “I SERVE”.


“….and a kingdom, that all people, nations and languages, should serve him” (DANIEL 7 VERSE # 14)


"I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand." (Revelations 20 Verse # 1)

The great chain would be another mark of the Antichrist and it will symbolize his strength and reach.


“Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May the sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered, his right eye totally blinded!” (Zechariah 11 verse#17)

It is often associated to the Antichrist that he will possess only one eye. It can have two descriptions. One is a physical one and the other is a systematic one. The physical one is that one of his eyes will be damaged and he will see the world with one eye i.e. a one eyed Antichrist.

This concludes the 12 major physical signs of the Antichrist. In the next part of this Antichrist saga we will try to understand if the Antichrist with all the above mentioned signs exists in the present world. So, be right back.
