Revelation 13:13

13  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

This False Prophet will do great wonders. Apparently, he will have the power to call down fire from heaven like Elijah did. The False Prophet  may even claim to be Elijah. Many Jews have always expected Elijah to come and prepare the way for the Messiah. The deception through the power of Satan may include deceiving the biblically illiterate or those who read scripture without light. Like I said before, the real deception might be the lie that the real two witnesses of God were the classical biblical Antichrist and his False Prophet. Let me further explain what I am saying.

Popular books and movies on end times have programmed most of the world to expect the Antichrist and False Prophet to come to torment the world at the end of the age. Yet, scripture really tells us that  the two witnesses tormented the unbelievers on the earth. The two witnesses had the power to smite the earth with plagues as often as they wished for 1,260 days.

It will be like in the days of the plagues of Egypt. The Egyptians did not welcome the judgments but the judgments came from God by the word of His prophet Moses to deliver His people from bondage. I do not know for sure exactly what these two prophets will demand from the world but the world will not wish to comply. The two prophets may demand a world kingdom by the Jews from Jerusalem. They will have power for 1,260 days, which is the same amount of time the world has been taught to expect the Antichrist and False Prophet to rule on earth.

When the Beast kills these two true prophets of God the whole world will rejoice! Why? Because they may believe the classic Antichrist and False Prophet are dead. They will think the Christ has come, that the Beast is God and that the Kingdom of God has come to earth. They will be led to believe that they have survived the great tribulation and have reached the “thousand year new age” of peace. What diabolical deception! No wonder all who hate the truth will be deceived.
