Characteristics of Antichrist
We now have the benefit of Historic records at our fingertips today. History is behind us! We have PROOF the prophecies were fulfilled in the exact years as well as the exact manner the Bible said they would be. As Christians, we now need to take the advantage of these historic records. We need to use the history books to prove these facts so as to share with those that do not believe. It will bless them. It will open eyes. It will fill God's church. It will make Heaven that much better to have them there when Heaven starts.
Before investigating the prophetic symbols that describe the characteristics of Antichrist, we need to understand that the Word of God tell us how to define symbols in prophecy. 2 Peter 1:20 says that, "...no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." According to the Word, Christians are told not to give our own opinion of what a prophetic symbol means. We must allow the Word of God to define it's own symbols. Our private interpretations are useless. For example, the term "many waters" in prophecy doesn't mean a large lake or ocean, the word "woman" does not mean an actual woman. They are symbolic images hidden in plain site so as to prevent the wicked from knowing the truth about the times we live in. If they knew it, they would be more effective in their attack against God's remnant people, and that much more effective in twisting God's Word.. Truth is, there are 404 verses in the book of Revelation, and out of those 404 verses, 278 of them carry the bulk of the prophetic message of that book. Did you know that all 278 of those verses can be found almost word for word in all the other books of the Bible? In other words, THE BIBLE DEFINES ITSELF PERFECTLY! Each symbol in Daniel, Revelation, or any other prophetic book are defined in detail in God's Word. So, don't let anyone give you their "opinion" or "interpretation" when preaching such things. We must always let the Word define the Word! That's an easy way to expose false teachers. Just hear what they have to say, and then open a Bible and see if what they say matches up with what the Lord says regarding a certain symbol.
So... what does the Word of God have to say about all those symbols that define certain desires, characteristics, and plans of Antichrist? And does History confirm the prophecy authentic?

Choose a verse (or a few verses). For long passages, you should create a 'passage' verse set.
Selection set
Selection verse sets are verses on a certain topic, or designed for a group of people to learn together.
Passage set
Passage verse sets are for a continuous set of verses, like a Psalm or a chapter or part of a chapter.
When you are learning a passage set, you're always presented with the verses in order, and there are lots of tweaks to help you learn it as a passage rather than just a set of verses.
Catechisms are a question/answer method of learning Bible truth. While we don't think they are on a level with the Bible itself, they can be a very useful way of learning the truths the Bible teaches in a systematic way, and they fit well into the system LearnScripture uses for learning verses.
