antichrist and devil are quite different personalities, antichrist is coming,some people said is already within us,but all i know is that the bible said before the rising of antichrist the christian will be raptured,the bible said that when he rises he will introduce this mark that every body is aware of: 666. the bible said no one should buy or sale except he who has this mark, anyone who refuses this mark will be tortured to death (the only people who is going to refuse this mark will be christians because they know if they receive this mark they have already bought their ticket to hell fire) my friend i want to advise you to take rigth decision to receive christ as your lord and saviour because is only way out these great tribulation that is coming on the earth.may God bless you and help you understand this mystery.
'In terms of unraveling the mystery of the Antichrist....' (XetraDaxSyntax@yahoo.com)
THe mark of the beast, 666...is the mark of a MAN. It states that the antichrist will rise in the form of a man, however the number 666 is the number of all humanity. THe mark will not be that number. The mark is going to be from the Antichrist which will be an information chip. I researched into Cybernetics and the new discoveries in their science engineering. Already experiments were conducted to create the first cyborg. He is a professor who willingly let them install the lithium chip to electronically control the computers in the database.
While he is not the antichrist...the science experiment allowed for a new revision of added features to MAN. They are already creating "intelligence" and "memory" chips for CEO's of extensive companies to have inserted in their skull, or in their left hand. It is closest to their heart, so this is why they picked the left.
Man and machines are going to interconnect and become humans "enhanced" with data chips. The "buying or selling" will be mandatory and everyone will have to have one installed. The chips are going to be installed after the "RAPTURE" which might translate to the 2010...Mayan Predictions of the "massive floods"..on December 21 2010. The war will be over...and the new world will start. The survivors will be helped and restart the world...however the computer chips are "electronic identifiers" that hold our Social security number (new ones obviously) and our pictures, and all other sorts of identification. With simple scanning we can be read...our records and what not.
The Beast is probably America. And China is the only one that can "make war with the beast." THe whore of Babylon is probably a country....like...Iraq? After they allow themselves to become a Democracy nation.
If you look more into Computers and the world of them...there are only Master Drives and Slave Drives. When one finds out the other is more Intelligent it follows that one. There are no exceptions. Master or Slave drives. So if humans interconnect with Computer "electronic enhancements" the mind will be altered. Hence the Mystery of the Antichrist.
