The False Prophet

While the Antichrist will rise to become a worldwide political and military ruler, it will be the False Prophet who solidifies the world's religious realm under his control as well. Through the False Prophet, Satan will lead multitudes astray in a one-world religion, eventually pursuading all to worship the Antichrist as a god and build an idol of him, which the False Prophet will cause to speak and move as a human. People will demonstrate their allegiance to the Antichrist by taking his mark.
