QUESTION: Where will the False Prophet of Revelation 13 come from?
ANSWER: Revelation 13:11 tells us that the "false prophet" comes from the earth. Some scholars have speculated that he will be an apostate Jew-- someone born in Israel. This is a possibility. One we also agree with.
Others have said it could be religious leader from Rome. At this point, we simply do NOT know and all things shall be revealed in their proper time. What we do know is that "the false prophet" of Revelation 13 will be POWERFUL-- exercising all the power of the first Beast-- and causing all small and great, rich and poor, free and bond" to receive a mark in the right hand or in the forehead, bearing the number of the Beast. Also the false prophet will mimic the ministry of Elijah in calling fire down from heaven-- performing great signs and miracles, so as to deceive the people who received not the love of the truth-- the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ-- that they might be saved. Instead, such people will believe THE LIE and will be deceived by the demonic miracles of the false prophet.
