“Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns,
and on his heads a blasphemous name.”
Revelations 13:1 

Also known as the “Beast,” the Antichrist will come on the scene as a political leader. The final ruling world government will be a revised Roman Empire comprised of ten nations. The Antichrist will rise to power out of the ruling government and will conquer there of the nations before finally conquering all ten.

Sometimes it seems like evil people prosper. We don’t always understand why wickedness flourishes and why wicked people get away with doing horrible things to just people. However, God sees all and has a good plan. The Antichrist will appear to “win” but it’s through this very act that he will be destroyed. God is in control and will execute judgment in His timing and in His way.
