Will the AC know who he is?

[Sean Osborne]

This question has always bugged me. It seems that a lot of people believe that the AC doesn't know he's the AC until Satan indwells him. I just don't understand that.

Does Satan have somebody special picked out? How does he know when to indwell the person? When he indwells the person does that person not have free will anymore?

I think that some people think the AC gets indwelled after he is supposedly killed and comes back to life but I don't think that is what the Bible is trying to say. Revelation 13 says one of his heads was wounded. I don't think the AC has more than one head so it's obviously talking about the kingdoms that the heads represent.

So can somebody help me out with this? I just always though the AC would just be born and be inherently evil as Satan has always indwelt him.

The fact is only the Word of God can answer these questions, and whatever the Word of God says is the absolute truth of the matter. I would strongly advise concentrating one's studies on this subject to the Book of Daniel chapters 7, 8 and 11; 1 John; 2 John; 2 Thessalonians 2; The Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter 13.

In these Books one will learn all that there is to learn about the antichrist.

Me personally I do not think that he will or does know hes the ac, not initially anyway, my gut feeling is that once in adulthood he will practice certain things which will eventually lead him into this knowledge about half way through the trib. Just a gut feeling am afraid.

Antichrist will be present and active on the scene at the beginning of the tribulation as he confirms a 7 year peace treaty with Israel and breaks it 1/2 way through and goes into the temple and declares himself to be god at which point we know exactly how many days until the Lord returns.... many scolars believe that the signing of the so called peace treaty will be the start of the tribulation period.

2 John 1:7(KJV)
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
AC's have been around for centuries, but THE AC will come at his appointed time.
2 Thessalonians 2:3(KJV)
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
For now follow the Commandments: Love God and no other, and love one another. Spread the Gospel, save the sinner, and WATCH. Let God worry about God's will.
