I have come to the conclusion these tv and internet personalities say what is most popular to gain ratings, not what is true and accurate. For example, a false Christian by the name of Matt J. Slick though he is not popular enough to be on tv, he has a popular forums message board. He holds the 3 most popular teachings in Christendom, yet they are all dead wrong: Calvinism, amillennialism, gibberish babble.
I was flipping channels on the tv and just saw Perry Stone declare that the False Prophet will be a religious leader. He said the False Prophet will be the Pope. And he said the Antichrist will be a Muslim leader. Perry is not humble. He is out of control.
Perry is dead wrong on all three accounts.
1) The Antichrist comes from the 7 hilled city which is Rome representing the nations from the sea (Mediterranean sea). Islam will never have the kind of power to generate the Antichrist. 57 Muslim countries in the world make up 2% of the world's GDP.
2) The False Prophet come from the land which represents Israel.
There are many evidences to link the first beast with the revitalization of Nero. This second beast may very well be the return from the dead of the betrayer Judas. Acts 1.20, Psalm 69.25 and Psalm 109.8 all point to Judas, for Acts 1.20 quotes from Psalms 69 and 109. Psalm 109.6 declares: “Let Satan stand at his right hand” (mg.)—This is yet to be fulfilled. At the time of Christ, Satan entered into the heart of Judas; but not until the time of Revelation 13.12 will Satan stand at his right hand. We are also told in Acts 1: “that he might go to his own place” (v.25). Concerning other individuals the Scriptures always say he is “gathered to his own people” or that “he is gone down into sheol”; but in the case of Judas we are told that “he might go to his own place”—as though he has a special place set aside for his use. In the entire New Testament the term “son of perdition” is only used twice: one is found in John 17.12 which distinctly points to Judas, and the other is found in 2 Thessalonians 2.3 which alludes to Antichrist. If the first beast is Antichrist, the son of perdition, who else can be the second beast except Judas who also is called the son of perdition? In John 6 the Lord is recorded as calling Judas “a devil” (v.70). So then, who but Judas can rank among the trio of evil?
3) The False Prophet is a military leader: "...and it [the False Prophet] might force as many as might not worship the image of the beast [Antichrist] to be killed" (Rev. 11.15).
Perry Stone is a frustrating person to listen to because he is so often wrong. He is not watchful, not careful in his studying.
Think how ludicrous what Perry is claiming. An image of a military leader is going to be erected by a religious person? That makes no sense. A military leader simply does the bidding of the ultimate leader. It does, though, make sense that a military leader from Israel sets up the image of the Antichrist who is from Rome who tries to claim he is God. This occurs because Judas is a betrayer of Jesus of Israel.
