This message was preached at New Testament Christian Fellowship in Conover, NC on April 24, 2016. The particular focus of this study is the person and work of the Antichrist, the Beast out of the Sea as introduced in Revelation 13:1. To study the person and work of Antichrist, the second most referenced subject of prophecy in the Holy Bible (second only to the Messiah, Jesus Christ), is to better equip one to discern and recognize the spirit of Antichrist so prevalent in the world and in the churches today.
