The Ultimate False Christ near the End....
.... for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.2 Corinthians 11:14
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
For there shall arise false Christs,...if it were possible,
they shall deceive the very elect.
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth:
behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Matthew 24:23,24,26
The Counterfeit trinity:
Dragon: Lucifer using Secular world powers & spiritualism of world religions
Beast: Papal Rome
False Prophet: Apostate Protestant Churches
The Dragon (Lucifer) himself makes an actual appearance impersonating Christ....
Jews are still awaiting the first coming of Christ.
Muslims are awaiting the arrival of the Mahdi
Catholics are already deceived by satanic 'apparitions' of Mary.
Sikhs and Hindus await the arrival of Kalki.
Buddhists are awaiting the arrival of Maitreya.
Even many Christians believe Christ will come down and rule ON EARTH.
"We who know the truth should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an
Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ has come. In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation.
The teachings of this false christ are not in accordance with the Scriptures. His blessing is pronounced upon the worshipers of the beast and his image, the very class upon whom the Bible declares that God's unmingled wrath shall be poured out.....The world is a theater; the actors, its inhabitants, are preparing to act their part in the last great drama. With the great masses of mankind there is no unity, except as men confederate to accomplish their selfish purposes....A power from beneath is working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama--Satan coming as Christ, and working with all deceivableness of unrighteousness....It is the lying wonders of the devil that will take the world captive, and he will cause fire to come down from heaven in the sight of men. He is to work miracles; and this wonderful, miracle-working power is to sweep in the whole world"

* It appears this happens after the Mark of the Beast but just before the close of Probation.
Seems like it may be a last test for the world, both those with the Mark (obviously) & a last test for the "very elect".
* A question to ponder, will there be appearances of Mary, like at Fatima, but on a bigger scale with our mass media, giving announcements of the coming (FALSE) Christ?
*Another question is, will Lucifer's Razzle Dazzle Tour with his bag of magic tricks to spellbind the masses stick around through the close of Probation or will he ascend away?
Will things get worse, and someone who claims to be in communion with him (like maybe the self proclaimed Vacarius Felii Dei) claim he sent back a message? That the Father is wroth (with those who have resisted the Mark) and been imprisoned? Will that be the demand for the death decree?
Don't be dogmatic about this....know one knows exactly how this will all play out....we will see...
Just some thoughts.....
