FALSE PROPHET DYNAMIC
“For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.” (Matthew 24:24)
In the verse above, our Lord describes a false prophet dynamic across the age since His ascending to Heaven.
This dynamic will see its ultimate fulfillment near the time of the return of Christ to the earth when a certain and particular False Prophet will arise. (Revelation 19:20)
The book of Revelation describes him like this…
“Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke like a dragon.” (Revelation 13:11)
Gotquestions.org suggests: “[T]he false prophet comes like a lamb, winsomely (innocently), with persuasive words that elicit sympathy and good will from others.”
However “sweetly” he appears, the False Prophet will be nothing less than the final piece completing the Satanic Trinity (along with Antichrist and the Dragon / Devil). (Revelation 13:1-2)
(It is always the height of Satan’s arrogance to imitate God.)
PURPOSE OF THE FALSE PROPHET
The False Prophet will have one purpose.
It is to force the worship of (allegiance/obedience/submission to) the Beast/Antichrist. (Revelation 13:1-8, 12b)
He will force worship through the performance of miracles. (Revelation 13:13-14)
He will force worship through the threat of economic deprivation. (Revelation 13:16-17)
He will force worship under the pain of death. (Revelation 13:15)
Yes, it is possible for hundreds of millions of people over the course of hundreds of years (false prophet dynamic) to follow a demon god (e.g. Allah) proclaimed by a false prophet (e.g. Muhammad).
Near the end of the world it will take place in all its fury.
