The Anti-Christ

So now we have got definite associations between the following entities:

The litte horn (Papacy) of Daniel 7 & 8.

The anti-christ of 1^st and 2^nd John.

The man of sin of 2 Thes.

The second beast (U.S.) of Rev. 13

The Dragon (Satan)

These associations line up as follows:

But how can this be? Obviously, these entities are not one in the same. Why are there similar characteristics which tie all of them together?
The secret is to understand how Satan manifests himself through other entities by means of his spirit. It is important for conscientious Christians to understand this matter because Satan will send delusions so strong that many Christians will think they are receiving God's Spirit when, in actuality it is the Spirit of Satan.
