WHAT WILL BE THE FALSE PROPHET ' S PLAN OF ACTIONS ?
A . THE FALSE PROPHET WILL HAVE A POWERFULLY DECEPTIVE INFLUENCE ON THE WORLD .
Like the Antichrist , this False Prophet will be full of evil , deception , and lies . Outside of the Antichrist , he will be the most powerful person on the earth . The Apostle John wrote of him in Revelation 13:11-12 —
Revelation 13:11 - 12 ( NIV ) 11 ) " Then I saw another beast , coming out of the earth . He had two horns like a lamb , but he spoke like a dragon . 12 ) He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf , and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast , whose fatal wound had been healed .

The False Prophet will be very deceptive . He will come across as a very loving and harmless person , gentle like a lamb . But the words he will speak will be hateful and ferocious like a dragon . John tells us that he will have all the authority of the Antichrist . Yet he will only use that authority to honor the Antichrist and help him fulfill his dreams . The False Prophet will be driven by one goal . And that goal will be to make `the earth and it ' s inhabitants worship the first beast .'
