The False Prophet: Top 10 Lessons

The False Prophet: Top 10 Lessons

What Does it Mean?

Here are 10 lessons concerning the truth about the false prophet. There seems to be a good bit of confusion about this important end time individual so we thought we would share these 10 bullet points to recap our class teaching.

1. The Quran is being used by Satan to deceive Muslim’s into following a false, end-time narrative aimed at defeating Israel and God’s end-time plans.

2. The term “False Prophet” is speaking of Muhammad and how the religious system of Muhammad will rule Satan’s final empire and cause men to bow down to Antichrist.

3. To Muhammad, the Jesus of the Bible wasn’t perfect enough and needed to be reconstructed to fit the false story of Islam.

4. Muslim’s are anticipating the return of Jesus (Isa – The Muslim Jesus) as a Muslim in the last days. This false version of Islam’s Jesus or Isa, closely parallels the person that the Bible calls the False Prophet in Revelation 13:11-18.

5. The Image of the Beast that comes alive and speaks is a depiction of mosques broadcasting the call to prayer from minarets out over millions of loudspeakers throughout the nations of the Caliphate. The Muslim call to prayer forces all men to worship (bow prostrate) in allegiance to Islam.

6. The Apostle John saw and heard the Muslim call to prayer and watched men being forced to bow prostrate. The False Prophet, the Muslim Jesus, will order those who refuse to bow to be beheaded – Rev. 20:4. The Muslim Jesus, Isa, will become Islam’s chief executioner slaying millions of martyrs in the Tribulation – Rev. 7:9.

7. The Mark of the Beast is not a technology or artificial intelligence as some believe but are the traditional, Islamic Caliphate headband and armband identifications showing allegiance to Antichrist and loyalty to the Islamic Empire.

8. The Mark of the Beast and the miracles performed by the False Prophet are not used worldwide. There is no one-world government. Rather, these are tools used within the geographic region under the control of the Caliphate that are imposed, “in the sight of the beast” (within the Caliphate) – Rev. 13:14. Bowing to the Image and the Mark of the Beast represent ways to “force conversion” on the captured people and the newly captured nations of the Caliphate (Not the whole world).

9. The Mark of the Beast is Antichrist’s “Tribulation Trademark,” for without it, no one can buy or sell. It’s possible the Caliphate will issue its own currency which would be made available exclusively for those who swear allegiance to the Caliphate and wear the Mark. Those who refuse the Mark will therefore not be able to buy or sell which serves to isolate them and forces them into starvation.

10. Satan’s system is a sham and when Jesus Christ returns he will punish Satan, Antichrist and the False Prophet for deceiving the world – Rev. 19:20 Antichrist was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone.

Few passages have sparked more debate and misinterpretation than the eight verses about the False Prophet that appear in Revelation 13:11-18!

The best route to make a proper identification comes from unpacking the five clues found in verse 11: I saw a second beast coming up out of the earth; he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon.  Revelation 13:11

5 Clues to Identify The False Prophet

 1. He’s the “second beast” – In Daniel and Revelation, the term “beast” is used symbolically to portray an empire (Dan. 7:3-6). “Beast” is used 36 times in Revelation. The “beast” imagery  indicates that the passage is describing much more than a single person. What empire does the “second beast” represent?

Since the rest of the passage is laced with familiar religious terms and highlights the Islamic practice of forced worshipand conversion (“worship the image or die, take the mark or die”) it is safe to conclude the “second beast” is a depiction of the revived Islamic Empire in the end times.

2. He “comes up out of the earth” – The beast rises from the abyss, the holding place of demons. We are told several times that the empire of Antichrist will emerge from hell and be controlled by Satan (Rev. 11:7, 17:8).

3. He “had two horns” – The first beast had 10 horns (Rev. 13:1) which represents the 10 kings (Rev. 17:12) or 10 divisions of the revived Islamic Caliphate. The “two horns” represent the Sunni and Shiite divisions, the only two powers of the Islamic empire.

The False Prophet…
The Muslim Jesus

4. He appears like a “lamb” – Lamb is used 29 times in Revelation always in reference to Jesus.

Jesus warned us of “false prophets in wolves clothing” (Mt.7:15) and false prophets that will arrive saying they are Jesus, “claiming, I am the Christ, and deceive many” (Mt. 24:4-5).

So, the question for us becomes: Is there a religion other than Christianity that teaches Jesus will return to earth in the end times?

The answer is yes — Islam. 

According to Islamic prophecy, Isa, the Muslim Jesus, will return, deny he was ever the savior of mankind, tell the Christians and Jews they got it all wrong about God, encourage people to follow Islam and its messiah figure — the Islamic Mahdi — and join the empire that is reviving even now and attempting to conquer the world. Sound familiar?

He, of course, is the diabolical, false Muslim Jesus, who will be the False Prophet.

5. “He spoke as a dragon” – The false prophet, the coming Muslim Jesus, speaks for Satan (“dragon” = Satan – Rev. 12:9). Of course he does! Satan is a liar, and the father of lies (Jn.8:44).

The lamb-like beast is described as speaking for Satan because he will be a false Jesus (“like a lamb”) speaking lies (“as a dragon”) in order to deceive the world into believing he is the real Jesus and that they should listen to him.

Three-fold Conclusion

Identity of the False Prophet

The first thing we learn from this study is that there is a much broader meaning for the term “False Prophet” being used.

Since the lamb-like beast is a portrayal of the Islamic empire, it’s fair to conclude that the phrase “False Prophet” is a symbolic reference to Muhammad, Islam’s false prophet.

Secondly, we now know that the lamb-like beast is symbolic of the religious system of Muhammad that drives Antichrist and his Empire.

Equally important is that this blasphemous religious system represents and speaks for Satan in the end times.

Lastly we note that the False Prophet will be Islam’s false religious leader Isa, the coming Muslim Jesus!  He will claim to be Jesus Christ himself.

This is a brilliant (though evil) and extremely deceptive plan. Muslim’s everywhere anticipate Jesus to return and lead Islam to victory!

Who else better could you imagine to have as your back-up man and your primary minister of propaganda than someone whom much of the world believes to be Jesus himself?

This is the plan Satan will launch soon. We are living in a time of rapid change and deception. The church needs to understand that the longer the Lord tarries, Satan will use more and more deception in his bid to control humanity.

The world is being corrupted at a rapid pace and moving away from God… just like the prophets predicted would happen before the great and terrible Day of the Lord.

The good news is… Jesus Christ, our risen Lord and Savior, is coming again soon. Even so come Lord Jesus!
