About this title

About the Author

Tim Cohen attended the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), class of 1988. Married with three children, Tim is an internationally known author and speaker. Chosen to be "him who has understanding" (Revelation 13:18), Tim resigned from USAFA in November 1987 to research and write THE ANTICHRIST AND A CUP OF TEA, which gives the first ever hard evidence identifying the coming AntiChrist. Written from a Hebrew Christian perspective, Tim's series of books, MESSIAH, HISTORY, AND THE TRIBULATION PERIOD, constitute a comprehensive and complete work on several subjects, to include Christology, Israelology, biblical Chronology, biblical History, and Eschatology. With some specific exceptions, this series covers the entire bible, from Genesis to Revelation, in a highly structured and systematic way. MESSIAH, HISTORY, AND THE TRIBULATION PERIOD will also unveil a new unified school of theology, called a Messianic View. Besides demonstrating that all the weeks of scripture are actually patterned by God after the Crucifixion Week -- in which Yeshua (Jesus) was crucified, buried, and resurrected -- this Messiah-centered school resolves many previously unanswerable theological quandaries and questions. Highly endorsed, Tim's books are quickly becoming the new standard by which others are measured.

From Chapter 1: The Footsteps of the AntiChrist. The AntiChrist and his denials of God's eternal Truth are explicitly mentioned just four times in the Bible, in only two epistles (1 John 2:18, 2:22, 4:3; 2 John 7). Nevertheless, the biblical identity of the coming AntiChrist is a subject that has fascinated both Christians and non-Christians alike for nearly two millennia. Unfortunately, this fascination has often led to unwarranted speculation. The AntiChrist, when he takes up his role, will not be easy to spot. In fact, apart from the biblical criteria, he will be all but impossible to recognize. To most, he will not be an obviously evil man--at least not initially. Rather, he will live up to the dual meaning of the prefix, "anti," in his New Testament designation. He will be against the real Christ while at the same time setting himself in His place.[7] To set himself in The Messiah's place, the Anti-Messiah must ultimately be able to convince the unregenerate world that he is the "Messiah"--for all peoples and all religions. As Satan's unorthodox parody of Christ, he will be a counterfeit "Christ," and his disciples and followers, therefore, whatever their religious persuasions, will be counterfeit "Christians."

Although the false prophet is not a major subject of this treatise, some points are relevant. Many have held through the centuries that the false prophet and even the AntiChrist would arise from the Roman Catholic Church. Christians of all backgrounds recognize that while Roman Catholicism has historically advocated a Judeo-Christian morality, it nevertheless remains, in many respects, a pagan religion--a curious mixture of the holy with the profane. According to Revelation 13:11, the false prophet will have "two horns like a lamb," and speak like "a dragon." It seems especially noteworthy, therefore, that Rome's current pope, John Paul II, wears a "two-horned" miter which, around its base, depicts the pope as a lamb wearing the miter. This lamb, because of the papal miter shown on its head, actually looks like it has two horns.[8] This same pope, who has "two horns like a lamb," routinely makes statements revealing his intolerance for true Christians, his antichristian ecumenism, and his worship of "Mary" and the dead, which Roman Catholicism euphemistically call "saints." In other words, John Paul II speaks like "a dragon," even the red dragon or Satan (Rev 12:3, 12:9). Given the pope's "Marian devotion" (i.e., worship), it seems only appropriate to note that the author has encountered statements attributed to a Roman Catholic priest and theologian asserting that "Mary" is calling faithful congregants to receive a mark in their hand or forehead for protection from coming catastrophic judgments (cf. Rev13:16-17). Based upon this and other information, the author agrees with those who have argued that the false prophet, who shall work to exalt the AntiChrist, could readily be Rome's final pope (see Rev 13:11-17, 16:13-14, 19:20; cf. 20:10).[9] Moreover, as we shall see, many of the ancestors of this book's subject--the strongest candidate ever for the role of the AntiChrist--were Roman Catholic. Indeed, the European Union (E.U.) has begun to actively promote Roman Catholicism to the exclusion of true Christianity.[10]

Past suggestions for the identity of the AntiChrist have included Antiochus IV, Caligula, Charlemagne, Mohammed, Napoleon, and Nero. Suggestions in this century, now mostly abandoned, have included Alister Crowley, Francisco Franco, Adolf Hitler, John F. Kennedy, Ayatollah Kohomeini, Benito Mussolini, Yitzhak Rabin, Ronald Reagan, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin. Current suggestions include Yasser Arafat, George Bush, Juan Carlos, Bill Clinton, Louis Farrakhan, Bill Gates, Boutros Boutros Ghali, Mikhail Gorbachev, Al Gore, Otto von Habsburg, Saddam Hussein, Henry Kissinger, "Maitreya," Sun Myung Moon, John Paul II, Shimon Peres, Prince Philip, and Maurice Strong. None of these suggestions seems truly plausible. Walvoord observes, "An almost unlimited number of identifications of antichrist to specific historical characters can be found. Among the more prominent are Mohammed, the founder of the Muslim faith; Caligula, a Roman emperor who claimed to be God; and Nero, a popular candidate for the title because of his burning of Rome and persecution of the Jews and Christians. To these can be added almost every prominent ruler of the past, including more modern characters such as Napoleon and Mussolini. In all these historical identifications, there is little more than evidence of being antichristian, but the variety of claims leaves the concept of [the] antichrist in considerable confusion."[11]

Indeed, there must be far more than merely antichristian beliefs and activities on the part of a person to justify a consideration of him as the AntiChrist. Any individual under serious observation must not only have antichristian beliefs, but also be capable of fulfilling every biblical prophecy related to the AntiChrist, without exception. Such a person, for example, must have a name or title that calculates to precisely six-hundred and sixty-six, preferably using a system that was recognized within Judaism--by both believers and unbelievers--when the Apocalypse was first penned (see Rev 13:18). Also, he must be associated in some manner with the imagery of the beast described in Daniel (ch.7) and the Apocalypse (chs. 12, 13, 17, and 18). Further, he must be a prominent ruler, presumably a prince, of Roman lineage (Dan 9:26-27). Some scholars would even add that he must be a descendent of Israel's tribe of Dan (discussed later).

Besides the biblical "musts" for qualification, there are, in this author's opinion, some prudent "shoulds." Any individual under consideration should have a prominent royal and religious lineage that will be viewed as proof-positive of his claims to world-leadership by all the world's major religions and cults. Also, he should have diverse royal, religious, political, military, and economic connections, as well as substantial wealth, to aid in his transition to power. Finally, he should be a man whom the world loves and desires to follow (despite any moral shortcomings he may exhibit), and who appears to be willing and able to cope with global problems and crises (e.g., the environment, religious and ethnic disputes, etc.).
