During the seven-year tribulation period, Revelation 13 describes how Satan will raise up and empower a profoundly evil human ruler as a false messiah, one who will rule and receive the worship of the entire world. Friend, do you know what the Bible teaches about Antichrist—and why does it even matter?

The book of Revelation describes the future seven-year tribulation period prior to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. But in Revelation chapter 13, we get a description of the Antichrist, the coming false messiah who is described as the most powerful, cruel, and cunning dictator the world has ever seen. And as we’ll discover together from God’s Word, Antichrist is fueled by Satan, the arch enemy of God.

In the book of Revelation, the apostle John describes how Satan will raise up and empower a profoundly evil human ruler known as Antichrist. Next to Jesus Christ, this will be the most famous person in the history of the world…and he will have a profound effect on many. But is such a powerful person outside the sovereign control of God?

The most famous evil ruler in Scripture is Antichrist. During the seven-year tribulation period, he will try to build his own kingdom and expand his empire across the entire world. Unfortunately for this evil ruler, his time and power are limited by the one true God.
