PASTOR TIM's NOTES:

Revelation 13:1-10
“The Rise of the Antichrist”
1. The Antichrist is described as the WHO rises out of the sea.
Vs. 1-2
1a. The one WHO rises out of the sea is described in powerful terms.
In Revelation 17:15 the word WATERS represents the sea of humanity.
He is powerfully described as having 7 heads and 10 horns.
Rev 12:3-4
Notice where the crowns are located?
It is Satan himself who brings two world leaders to power, one political and
the other religious.
1b. The one WHO rises out of the sea has his power compared to that of animals.
The imagery of a leopard, bear, and lion comes directly from Daniel 7:3-8, although
the order is reversed.
1. The lion.
The winged lion was a favorite image in Babylon.
2. The bear.
The bear in Daniel's vision was raised up on one side and had three ribs in its
mouth.
The bear symbolized the Medo-Persian empire.
3. The leopard.
Daniel saw a leopard that had four wings of a bird on its back.
The leopard was a symbol of the Greek Empire.
1c. The one WHO rises out of the sea will receive his power from Satan.
His power was given to him by the dragon.
He was also given his throne and authority.
2. The Antichrist will be looked upon in WONDER after a dramatic event.
Vs. 3-4
2a. He will be looked upon in WONDER after he is mortally wounded.
1) One view is that the head that is slain; is the old Roman Empire and it will be
brought back to life again.
2) The more traditional view is that this is speaking about the Antichrist.
2b. He will be looked upon in WONDER when he is healed. 
 3. The Antichrist will speak hateful WORDS against God and God’s people.
Vs. 5-6
3a. He will be allowed to speak hateful WORDS for forty two months.
3b. He will speak these WORDS against God and His name.
Notice he also speaks against His tabernacle and those who dwell in heaven.
 He evidently will attack the concept of the one true God and deny His existence.
4. The Antichrist will make WAR against the saints.
Vs. 7
4a. He will be given the authority to overcome the saints.
What does it mean that he overcomes them?
 Rev 11:7-8, Revelation 20:4
5. The Antichrist will be WORSHIPPED by the earth dwellers.
Vs. 8-10
5a. He will be WORSHIPPED by everyone who has rejected God.
5b. He is will be rejected by everyone who WORSHIPS God.
No true believers will be worshiping the coming world leader.
How can we be sure our names are written in the book of life?
It is by being an overcomer.
How do I overcome?
1 John 5:4-5
