| | The Man of Sin: Successful Impersonator of Christ? |
 | | It is interesting to note that, while the Antichrist will impersonate Christ even by working fake miracles, he apparently also will come, like Christ, at a time when there is a world government. |
 | | After studying the picture of Antichrist in St. Paul's Epistle to the Thessalonians, one easily recognizes the "man of sin" in Daniel vii, 8, 11, 20, 21, where the Prophet describes the "little horn." A type of Antichrist is found in Daniel viii, 8 sqq., 23, sqq., xi, 21-45, in the person of Antiochus Epiphanes. |
 | | (2) A second view admits that the Antichrist is a person, but it maintains that he is a person of the past; Nero, Diocletian, Julian, Caligula, Titus, Simon Magus, Simon the son of Giora, the High Priest Ananias, Vitellius, the Jews, the Pharisees, and the Jewish zealots have been variously identified with the Antichrist. |
