Like humankind, Yahweh stripped Satan and his fallen angels (demons) of some of their powers. They could no longer materialize from behind the veil at will. Them giving secrets of the heavens was also restricted, and because Satan caused enmity between Yahweh and the holy family that included the expanse of creation, Yahweh sought to put enmity between Satan and his human family, and that is why many believe Satan to be hideous instead of his real appearance. And also to make it appear as though he works against his own human family.
Not until these end times has that rouge been lifted to reveal his true intent. How do we know Satan will follow through in trying to resemble Yahweh as Mother Israel (but not claiming to be Her – only Her Rival) when he emerges as the Antichrist on the physical plane? He has already altered his appearance to look like a most beautiful woman – breathtaking in appearance.
Many people believe the antichrist will pretend to be Christ Jesus. How can we know whether that assumption is truthful or not? The Word is our guide, and within the Word are all of the answers:
1 John 2:20-23 “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Messiah? He is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son can have the Father; he who confesses the Son has the Father as well.”
So, who is the liar, and why is he a liar? If he were to be pretending to be Christ then he is not the antichrist. To be designated that title, one must deny Father and Christ. This is just an example of how plain the truth is in the Word. Luke 11:36 “If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, the whole body will be full of light, as when a lamp shines its light on you.”
In no way will the antichrist resemble Christ or Father. In contrast, he will bring down organized religion. This is why you see people starting to turn against religion. The scandal with the Catholic Church will only help to fuel this ever growing fire against religion as a whole. And as this world experiences more devastation from the Great Tribulation currently underway, they will become more and more distanced from Father as they lose faith in a God that they feel is either nonexistent, or does not care for His creation. This is because they lack the true knowledge of what is going on and why.
