Thank you for those commentaries. It is interesting to read others ideas.

As Christ is related to God, so is Antichrist to Satan, his visible embodiment and manifestation: Satan works through him. Rev_13:2, "The dragon gave him (the beast) his power . . . seat . . . great authority."

The antichrist (which was mistranslated and should read instead-of-Christ) is a role Satan assumes. They are one and the same. In Rev. 13:2 the dragon (Satan) gives power to the "beast", which is the one world system, political power. The anti-christ is the false prophet, the religous entity. It's Satan playing like he is Jesus.

At the 2nd Advent, Christ takes care of them: And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (Rev.19:20)

Jesus throws both of those roles of Satan's into the fire. Satan will never be able to use that religious and political power again. Satan himself is not killed but held through the millennium (Rev.20:2-3)

Understanding that, I find I can't agree with the references you gave me. When you study the 11Thess.2:9 verse it tells me that it is Christ that comes after the working of Satan.

Show me one legitimate commentary that agrees with you.
