Among the greatest books ever written stands Edward Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire. It looms large in Christianity’s bookcase because it chronicles in detail, with general accuracy, the history of the Antichrist Beast up to the time of the formation of the nations into modern Europe. Another hugely popular history which deals with the subject of the attempted takeover of the world by an Antichrist empire is William Shirer’s Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Shirer’s masterpiece was among the most widely read books of the 20th Century. As with Gibbon’s monumental work on the Roman Antichrist Empire this too chronicled the course of a stage of the Antichrist Empire which ultimately ended up showing the fallacy of Antichrist promises and the failure of its Utopian vision. Shirer’s history is a contemporary look into Antichrist more than Gibbon’s is. The Nazi Empire, the Antichrist conspiracy of Adolph Hitler’s reign of destruction and death and the mad ambition that rules over the ruthless spirit for world domination hits much closer to home than does the history of Imperial Rome. But both are of extreme interest and importance, if not useful, to understanding the premise and goals behind the Antichrist Empire. Both needed dynamic Antichrist figures in order to operate at full capacity. Neither author, however, understood that they were doing the cause of Christ some service in exposing Antichrist methods. They thought they were chronicling nothing more than a phase or a segment in the greater overall history of the rise and fall of an empire. Gibbon saw his subject as majestic, its decline and fall a human tragedy of the greatest degree. Shirer realized his subject was the demise of an extremely evil force working upon an unfortunate world which was very fortunate, in turn, to have it totally obliterated even if by force. Nonetheless, Shirer reported on it without demonizing its deeds the way they should be portrayed. The Antichrist Spirit of empire and its bid for world domination is real and remains undaunted even today. Its relentless strategy is controlled behind the scenes by demonic forces at the command of Satan who seeks to infuse it with supernatural force on a daily basis.

One way to look at history is to chronicle it as The Rise and Fall of the Antichrist Spirit. The rise of antichrist spirit and its opposition to the salvation brought to man by the true Christ, started immediately with the creation of Adam. Ever since the Antichrist Spirit’s inception in the Garden of Eden where Satan perpetrated the seduction of Eve and the successful temptation of Adam to bring them out into the world and its ‘faith’; Satan has jabbed and probed in efforts to gain control of the souls of Man.

As a snake he hopes to poison Man against God to steal away Man’s worship for himself and have it settle upon his false Messiah, the Antichrist. No matter how monumental the work of Gibbon, or insightful the work of Shirer, these laudable works of history pale compared to the Bible’s complete and comprehensive chronicle of the Rise and Fall of the Antichrist, and the resulting descent of all those creatures, whether angel or man, who have worshipped other gods, followed the Antichrist spirit or sown its dirty deeds by living and breathing in the folly of sin under the sway of Antichrist faith.

Satan and his rebel demons, the Antichrist leaders of history with their unholy accomplices, and the religious whores, have invented and sought out every kind of god other than the one true Creator. They have often been joined in common interest in this on-going rebellion. They will share a common fate as well. Antichrist and all its accomplices will be cast into the Lake of Fire, once and for all doomed to the worst fate a creature could ever receive – the Second Death. Before this, however there will be a rise to power and many successes recorded. The Antichrist has had its rise to glory over and over again. It has risen to power in the hearts of literally billions of people. Sin and delusion have dragged them into perdition. Jesus made it clear that the rise of antichrist power is far from being an exception on earth. He said, “wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it.”Each individual that the Antichrist ensnares is a victory for it.

Antichrist has had its historic moments of dominion and power among the military and political governments of mankind as well. From the prophecies of the Bible, we shall chronicle the successive rise of each mighty power one by one and show how the evolution of the Antichrist Empire has developed to the point that it is today. Its fall, however, has been a gradual and continual descent into evil, one rebellion, one phase of empire to the next, one military and governmental oppression of mankind at a time. The Antichrist spirit evolved, changing, morphing from one beast to the next, until it finally will gain in strength to seize the grand opportunity to set itself up as God on earth in the waning desperate hours of its life a few short years before its destruction and demise.

The demise of Antichrist will seem sudden but it has been a work in progress since the beginning of time as we know it. Slowly, gradually, incrementally, Satan as the father of the antichrist movement has seen his power diminish at the hand of God. His influence in heaven has been drastically challenged and eroded. He has been stripped of his authority and rank from around the throne of God in heaven. His presence there and privileges are curtailed and nearly nullified.  He has conspired to bring to life his antichrist conspiracy and hatred here on earth. He hopes to regain the power and position he has lost by his doomed rebellion and to try to conquer the very throne of God itself. In the present, he is limited to the spheres of this world and its ‘lower’ heavens. But even this authority and power is brought under the rule of Christ’s authority. His antichrist man and empire amount to his last bunker of refuge from which he is conducting his last offensive. Christ broke Satan’s strangle hold on earthly power by His obedience to God at Calvary’s cross and there is nothing that Satan can now do about that decisive victory that will prove in the end to be not just a battle won but the victory that won the war. The handwriting is on the wall for Satan. He knows his time is short and he is swelling up like a tick with desperation and fury. Shortly, Satan’s Antichrist man, the savior to a deceived world and the Messiah to his followers, will be given influence and sway over the minds of mankind, even power to conquer the minds and hearts of the deceitful and deceived inhabitants of the earth. One last ditch effort by Satan to dislodge God from His throne and prove God a liar, is shortly to be played out on the world stage. Many smug and self-confident fundamentalist Christians and deceived Charismatics will be taken in by his charismatic style and enticing promises to right every wrong and to cure the ills of all that ails this reeling world in which they long to be a part of. This is a large part of the rising climax of the glory days which will shine darkly for a few short moments when the world staggers with the hope of their hero’s mighty words and fanciful promises of health and salvation for all those who will simply believe in him. The center of this message and any controversy swirling around is and shall be in the ‘navel’ of the whole earth, the Middle East, specifically Israel and even more specifically, Jerusalem, God’s city. Then Satan and the Antichrist and all their cohorts throughout the Age of Man will share the same fate for their futile rebellion and stubborn opposition against God. Satan and his spirit of ‘anti-christ’ had conspired successfully to bring about the fall of Man so Satan and his followers could rise again to even greater heights than they had enjoyed before his fall. The Devil had not counted on the perfect work of Christ to redeem and resurrect the fallen creatures through God’s love. But that has not stopped Satan from continuing his Antichrist course of action.

The days of Satan and Antichrist are numbered. We live not only in the days just preceding the return of Christ we live in the days heralding the doom of the age old Antichrist conspiracy. The fall of the conspirators of the world looms. There will be one last rising up before the final fall.  The days of the Tribulation as outlined in the Book of Revelation are about to unfold just as the Bible has reported on them that they would. The final seven years of Antichrist rule on earth is a digression, a descent into total destruction and annihilation. This is only a microscopic view of the history of the Antichrist and its destiny. In the descending events of the Tribulation we are presented with a compressed picture of the fate of Satan and the Antichrist as it has gradually unfolded over time. First there is disaster, then defeat, then demise. This is the pattern of descent common throughout the ages of man and finally pronounced upon Satan, Antichrist and their co-conspirators for their rebellion against God.

Satan, the Antichrist and their empire will meet with frustration and disaster in the first stages of the Tribulation. Wars, famines and pestilence will plague the entire seven year reign. In the midst of the Tribulation he will turn on his Antibride (religion) because he is, and always has been jealous of her, wants only to use her to ensnare people’s hearts and wrest their faith so they worship and obey him alone. He cannot share worship with her. He never has, nor will he ever share his throne or authority with religion. He is the object and substance of all the religion he will allow. He sets up his throne in the Temple in Jerusalem and declares himself God. Nimrod took on the elevated position as God of a new world, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Augustus and other Roman Emperors were deified and worshipped as God. All the forerunners of Antichrist have proclaimed their deity in some fashion or other. Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Hitler was the autocratic leader, a demigod, his word was above that of God. The Antichrist will not stop until he has the power of God on earth, is king and total authority without rival. In the end he no longer needs her. History has proven this out time and time again. Antichrist always turns and devours his whore of a bride as soon as he has used her he slays her with disdain and hatred. He demands the worship of himself and his father, Satan – and only himself and his father. But everything will be going wrong. Disasters will beset him on every side in the early stages of his rule. Opposition to his demands will swell. Wars of conquest, uprisings and intrigues will not cease to beleaguer the kingdom for the entire seven year period. Total defeat will take place at the legendary place Armageddon. Christ and His army of immortals will take no quarter. The Antichrist demise will be complete when he and the False Prophet and those who have followed the spirit of Antichrist down through the entire Age of Man are cast into the pit. (Satan, however, will be let out after a thousand years to lead one last rebellion of unredeemed men born on earth during the millennium before he is finally cast into the pit himself.) The pattern of descent from God’s gift of life, His goodness and His presence is now complete – disaster, defeat, demise, descent = 2nd death.

What follows is the general pattern of the gradual descent of spirits into Hell. It applies both to the Spirit of Antichrist held in common by the unbelieving, unfaithful world at large, as well as all individuals held in the grip of their own carnal flesh and the fear, selfishness and lust that controls their heart and their actions. Demonic spirits and the Antichrist spirit in particular are the instigators of sin and under that influence people and souls are held in obeisance to the deadliness of sin. It is unavoidable that all unrepentant sinners are held hostage and are in the grip of the world, demonic forces and their own sin; regardless of ignorance, knowledge or degree of willful or helpless alliance. Those who follow the Antichrist spirits and their own fears and lusts, knowingly or ignorantly, because of callousness, or the seduction of their bogus mystery religious practices, or from arrogance, hatred or selfishness, out of fear or complacency or a haughtiness or high mindedness, or love of evil, or hypocrisy, will find themselves sharing the same fate as those spirits that in opposition to God and His Son Jesus Christ, who is the only pure essence of love, regardless of whether they call themselves one of Christ’s or not.

This fate and its general pattern applies not only to the individual but to the Antichrist and its Empire and its humanism, atheism and its ecuminical religion. God can never and will never be reconciled to the false gospel that everybody is part good and part bad and that this can never change. God is not part good and part bad and His eternal kingdom will not be earth in heaven, for it would not be paradise if it were to be so. Jesus told his disciples that anyone not against Christ is for Him. But the reverse is also true. he told us that no man is good, only God is good. If we are for the Antichrist, tacitly or uncaringly or actively and passionately, it makes no difference. If we are for the Antichrist we are but putty in the Devil’s hands. We are then among those who oppose Christ even if we do not think we are involved we are still involved in the skullduggery of rebellion and therefore one with the antichrist spirit. Therefore, we are against Christ by default, like it or not.

There should be cause for careful concern, even among the born-again Christian who has been made a new creation in Christ. No one should take the Antichrist lightly or its spirit’s ability to seduce the complacent and lazy, or to delude any presumptuous believer who is careless or anyone who loses sight of how they were saved out of their private world of sin. The dog can turn back to its vomit, the sow return to the mire. If the new creature does not follow that which made him new then he will revert to type. We do not want this to happen. We do not want to become what we once were and even worse. This would be to reverse our new destiny, our newly God-given fate, to nullify our new life. We would return then to death’s dark closet, a casket of iron this time and how shall we get out? Will Christ then say we are one with Him if we are not one with God? Or, shall He say to those who plead that they have done things in His name and battled for His cause, but actually lived primarily for themselves, “Depart from me you workers of iniquity, into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.” And, as He says, “Where the worm never dies and the fire is never quenched”. This total disastrous descent we do not wish to befall anyone, even our worst enemy.

THE VOICES OF SIN: FLESH, WORLD & DEMONIC
This descent into perdition is what we are trying to warn people about, educate one another about; whether young or old, unbeliever, newly born-again or experienced person in the Lord Jesus Christ. Deliverance from the bondage of sin is paramount if we are to be extricated from our love affair with the World, freed from the driving influence of the Flesh, if we are to be delivered from the powerful suggestions of Demon forces of THE FLESH Satan; all of which have influenced our thoughts and shaped our actions from our early age. The pattern of descent into damnation begins as the Bible declares it does; when every person sins and falls short of the glory of God. Each person falls and thereby THE WORLD activates the beginning of their personal descent. The person alone must bear responsibility for their own slide into perdition. If this slide is not arrested by God and the grace of Jesus Christ the process of descent into Hell goes on unimpeded until its horrific end is realized by a final splash into the Lake of Fire. The descent into the second death begins with this initial disaster, the disaster of sin when it finds its way into our heart and mind and gains mastery over our soul. Cain was warned by God about letting sin in: The Demonic “Surely, if you do right, there is uplift. But if you do not do right sin crouches at the door; its urge is toward you, yet you can be its master.” (Genesis 4.7: Tanakh) Once sin has been let in from its position ‘crouching at our door’ the infection of sin is inevitable. Sin requires judgment. Judgment against sin means defeat. Defeat results in demise (we are stopped from sinning) signaling an end of sin by the sentence of death. The finish of the process of descent then, is death. This demise in the Lake of fire is what the Bible mysteriously calls, The Second Death. This is the fate which awaits the Antichrist and all his followers, either active full-fledged believers or simply casual adherents of its ways, doesn’t matter.

There is a clear avenue toward the Antichrist and his world leading up to being fully under his spell. The entrance to the world of Anti-Christ is the door which all men seem to be compelled to open. Sometimes it is out of curiosity, mostly out of selfishness and fear and an innate liking for the untouchable, the risky or the forbidden – the door to Anti-Christ is sin. The voices of sin are discussed and analyzed under the microscope of Scripture so that those who care to study them can see themselves more clearly and ask God for the way out. The threat of the reality of a descent into Death and that it is the fault of the individual and no one else can help people gain personal deliverance from the clutches of their personal sin so that they will not be as likely to fall into the clutches of the Antichrist and fall prey to his slick gospel and its incredibly powerful delusion.

Mystery Babylon: Gateway to Antichrist Faith
The second step in falling prey to the Antichrist delusions of this life comes from Mystery Babylon, the spirit of false religion, which has infected the entire earth inside and outside of the Church of Jesus Christ. She is the gateway. She is the preacher of sin and opposition to the true God. She has concocted as brands and flavors of false religion to suit the taste of everybody everywhere. She is the gateway and mouthpiece for believing in the Antichrist as the true and brilliant way of salvation. She lures all souls into his world. Her existence and power, even her methods are discussed in terms of her being the Antichrist’s very useful link between man’s personal sin and belief in the false god(s) that is always Antichrist, just with a different mask or slightly different story to tell.

Empire and Man
Once a person has been converted to the Antichrist side of things they can become a full-fledged member of the Empire. The empire was re-started after the Flood by Nimrod. He labored to make it complete with a conspiracy to take things over and with a religion to gain and keep converts. The Book of Daniel traces the reality of this living, morphing Antichrist Empire from its days of primary worldly power in Babylon through to the present day. We hold that the Antichrist Empire has existed in various degrees of power in an unbroken line of descent since Nimrod’s conspiracy at Babel. This line of unbroken descent has provided a living scepter toward which the hope of the world could be continually foisted upon the inhabitants of the earth and its Antichrist message could be broadcast with an unrelenting drone into the ears of mankind. We go to some links, as God has in the Book of Daniel to prove this existence of the Antichrist Empire and its unwavering cause to dominate the people of the earth and especially the people of God, wherever they be found at a given point in time. The well informed believer will be fully aware that the Antichrist conspiracy has had its headquarters open for business in all times and all ages without a gap in its existence. During the Middle Ages the Antichrist Empire (as progeny and successor of the Roman spirit) was hampered in power by competition from within and attacks from without which caused its immense powers to lie dormant, held at bay according to the plan of Providence. As the time of Christ’s return approached and the time for the final showdown drew near the Antichrist Empire’s powers were somewhat revived as evidenced by the attempts of Napoleon and Hitler to dominate the world, and by the singular dominance of Great Britain followed up by the United States, both as world-wide Imperial dynasties in the spirit of Antichrist. Gibbon and Shirer wrote about the Empire and its undertakings during a particular stage in the Antichrist Empire’s existence. We will cover its metamorphosis into the roman Spirit and beyond, to this very day by way of the prophecies of the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation. Once the history of the Antichrist Empire has been traced we shall then turn our attention to the coming of its ultimate leader. Nimrod, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler, all are only a foreshadowing of the man who is to come. By tracing the evolution of the Empire we can tell that the Empire’s time is at hand. Therefore, the true Antichrist’s coming is also upon us and the world. He but needs a new world empire (and this too is coming, vaguely called the kingdom of the ten kings in scripture), one which he can wield as a personal instrument, a weapon in his hand forged to enforce his tyrannical subjugation of mankind.

The Final Kingdom Almost Here
The Empire is here and has been for over four thousand years, if only in embryonic form, but its final hybrid is at the door. The antichrist spirit and empire have been here and active for all time and has been represented by many aspirants, but the real Antichrist is coming and the two shall become one, for neither one nor the other can do without the other, they need. We shall examine history, fulfilled prophecy and prophecy yet to be fulfilled concerning the Antichrist, the Man and his relationship to the Antichrist Empire so that we may more readily detect him at his appearing on the world stage. We shall take a look into his career as revealed in prophecy and try to draw up a personal profile of the man to help us to detect him, but also to detect where his doctrine and our longing for his wicked hopes might still be lodged in our own hearts. For in understanding his mind set and even his psychological profile we can get rid of any fondness we have for this ultimate opponent of God and heaven.

Demise and Death
The Rise and Fall of the Antichrist concludes with the Antichrist himself being cast headlong into the Pit, along with all supporters and followers as foretold in the final book of the Bible. It behooves us to declare that this truth is revealed to a world that is duped into believing all antichrist lies and deceptions. The disaster, defeat, demise and total descent into Hell as described in the proceedings of judgment rendered upon the Antichrist Kingdom (Empire and Man together = Kingdom) in Revelation is real and its day is coming sooner than the world has any idea. The Tribulation is the time of this judgment, set aside in God’s plan of redemption for the descent and death of Antichrist and the dismissal of all things antichrist. As for the kingdom as a whole, including its Empire, its leader and its people, the process of descent into perdition (a process followed in the personal life of an individual person who falls under his sway) is dramatically and astonishingly condensed into this rapidly advancing seven year period of the Tribulation.

The conclusion of The Outcast Eagles of the Philadelphia Church is one unavoidable. The Antichrist’s disasters mount until its defeat is total and its demise absolute; then the final, inevitable descent into Hell is confirmed. Everyone joined to him or it will share in its horrifying fate. We draw only a picture of the inevitable truth so that we can take care to avoid sharing in that fate. A person informed in these matters should acquire a healthy fear of God so they may do everything within their power, everything necessary to become a supporter of true salvation and an enemy of Antichrist and the antichrist spirit, so they may assure that they are nowhere near it when Antichrist goes down in flames.

The Antichrist will rise but always he falls to the utter depths of destruction. His rise is precipitated always by sin, deceit and demoralization of his victims so that they will follow mindlessly after his vain promises of happiness. To some extent, the Antichrist spirit has found rise in every man and woman who has ever lived. Only a miracle can reverse the curse so that an ascent to heavenly goodness of God can truly begin; while the descent of all that is antichrist is inevitable. Descent of the immortal soul of an individual is also inevitable if not curtailed by acknowledging God, where it can then be totally arrested so that one may begin the ascent toward eternal life. The pattern, whether toward the second death or eternal life follow the course described in the pages of the Bible. They are clearly indicated in the prophecies and historical fulfillments of the rise and fall of the Antichrist and in the history of the life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as told in the Gospels. Disaster, defeat and demise are the usual pattern for Antichrist and the legion of individuals who are unwilling to repent and have a relationship with the resurrected Christ. A microcosm of this tension and all or nothing truth is on display in the prophecies about the Tribulation which are to be found in the book of Daniel, the other prophets of the Old Testament and in particular in the final and all conclusive book of the Bible, The Book of Revelation.

The Rise of Antichrist is glorious in the eyes of the world and its unbelieving worldly devotees. The Fall of the Antichrist is something the world will hate and mourn for he and his system of fascist oppression will be their champion. Antichrist’s fall ends in The Pit, The Lake of Fire, Hell – this is what the Bible calls the Second Death where it seizes hold of a spirit and never lets go. There is to be no stimuli of life there, no breath, no relief from the ever increasing heat of smouldering sin – never shall be. Only death and eternal loneliness forever, too terrible for us to even imagine, frightening to even talk of or think upon. Alone in a tomb of darkness ablaze with hate and anguish where there is no sleep – forever. It is a place reserved for Satan and his corrupted minions of evil angels. He wishes to take every soul of Man there. A human must overcome, or regret forever.  

We Must Overcome in the Spiritual Realm
And they overcame Satan:
[1] by the blood of the Lamb
[2] by the word of their testimony
[3] they loved not their lives unto the death. Rev.12:10,11

Christians easily lose sight of the true nature of the Christian fight; the Bible declares our real enemy to be “powers and principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places”, rather than people of mere flesh and blood who can only destroy the body but cannot destroy the soul.

In this light, the Book of Revelation further reveals that the faithful disciple is able to overcome Satan because of three powerful weapons: the Blood of the Lamb, the Word of their Testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the Death. It is this combination of forces, working continually in the believer which enables the Christian to become a true disciple of Christ, able to combat and overcome the great unseen enemy of “spiritual wickedness in high places”.

JESUS IS COMING SOON, VERY SOON!
WE CAN TELL YOU WHY WE BELIEVE THIS AND HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE SO-CALLED RAPTURE OF HIS FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS.
