In the middle of the Tribulation the Antichrist will go to war with some of the nations. Scripture tells us he will be “mortally wounded.” This will happen simultaneously with Satan’s final removal from heaven. But Satan resuscitates him from the dead and he is left blind in the right eye and one of his arms will “completely wither.” But because he is “miraculously” resuscitated back to life the world will worship him even more and convince many that he is the promised messiah.” At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through.
He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon. He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels.
But news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many. And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him” (Daniel 11:40-45).
“And the LORD said to me, “Next, take for yourself the implements of a foolish shepherd. For indeed I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for those who are cut off, nor seek the young, nor heal those that are broken, nor feed those that still stand. But he will eat the flesh of the fat and tear their hooves in pieces.
Woe to the worthless shepherd [the Antichrist], who leaves the flock! A sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye; his arm shall completely wither, and his right eye shall be totally blinded” (Zechariah 11:15-17).
“And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast” (Revelation 13:3).
While the whole world thinks that he is dead, the Bible says that he “goes on in his sin” influencing world events and leaders. His head wound is healed and he still speaks with power and skill despite his head wound. He has taken care of himself and he appears “more stout” than others his age. He is quietly waiting for the right moment to reappear as the “resurrected” messiah to save the world in a time of crisis.
Antichrist will graciously accept the world’s bidding to take over the reins of government to extract the world and its economy from wars and depression. He will bring temporary peace and prosperity to the world.
