C . THE FALSE PROPHET WILL HAVE A PLAN TO CAPTURE THE WORLD ' S WORSHIP .
To control the minds and actions of several billion people will be a most difficult task . No dictator in history has been able to accomplish such an incredible feat . The False Prophet under the orders of the Antichrist will be sent out to do what has been impossible in the past . John tells us that the False Prophet will use an idol or religious statue to awe the world .
Revelation 13:14b-15 ( NIV ) 14b ) " He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived . 15 ) He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast , so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed . "
T
In some way , the False Prophet will create an amazing idol or statue in Jerusalem . John tells us that this image will somehow be able to speak through the power of illusion or demonic influence . The world will be amazed at this great idol . But they will also be terrified : anyone who refuses to bow down and worship this idol will be killed . Every human being has a deeply spiritual side . The False Prophet will play on the religious yearnings and fear of the people so that they will rush to worship the statue of the Antichrist .
