Anti-Christ

The Anti-Christ is an individual that will live during the End-time.  He will be given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies.  He will blaspheme God’s name, heaven, and those that follow God’s teachings.   He will continue this behavior for three and a half years.  His final fate is to be thrown into the Lake of Fire.

 

Antipas

We do not know much about Antipas.  His name appears in the KJV Bible only once and that is in the book of Revelation. What we do know is that he was a faithful follower of Christ.  He resided at or near the town of Pergamos around 95 A.D. He became a martyr because he live in Satan’s stronghold and his faith were unfeigned.

 

Balaam

Balaam was an Old Testament prophet.  He went against the instructions of God and entertained King Balac (Balak) concerning the Children of Israel.  He is labeled as a false prophet because he was instrumental in causing the children f Israel to stray from their teachings.

 

Balac

Balac (Balak) lived in the Old Testament and he was king of Moab.  He feared the children of Israel; therefore, he successfully sought the help of the prophet Balaam to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel.

 

Death

Death is a symbolic name for the individual that rides the pale horse.  This is a real person, but the symbolism indicates that this individual will cause a huge amount of death on earth.

 

False Prophet

The false prophet is just was the name implies.  He will be teaching things contrary to God.  He will command that people make an idol or image as a representative of his false God.  He will demand that mankind worship that idol and many will be killed for refusing to worship it.  He will also implement a system, where mankind will receive a mark on their foreheads or hands.  His final fate is to be thrown into the Lake of Fire.

 

Hell

Hell appears to be an individual that immediately follows ‘Death’, which is the rider on the pale horse.  This is symbolic to show what follows physical death.  Immediately after experiencing physical death, the soul of the deceased individual will be judged.  If the deceased individual was not in a righteous state at the moment of death, then hell is right there to receive his soul.  ‘Hell’ always follows right behind ‘Death’, to receive his own.
