The Amish Voice 8
The Devil’s Man
In previous chapters we have studied about Satan and we have
studied about the time of great trouble called the Tribulation. In
this chapter we want to learn about the man whom Satan will
use in the Tribulation period.
When the Lord Jesus came to earth the first time, what man did
the devil use in a special way (John 13:2)? ________________
Did Judas do what the devil wanted him to do? ______
In this lesson we will learn about another man who will do
Satan’s will.
The Devil’s Offer
In Matthew chapter 4, Jesus Christ was tempted by the devil.
We learn in verse 8 that the devil took Jesus up into a very high
________________________ and showed Him all the
kingdoms of the world
.
The devil then made an offer. He tried to make a deal with
Jesus. What did the devil promise to give to Jesus (Matthew 4:
8-9)? ______________________________________________
The devil did not promise to give Jesus just some of the
kingdoms of the world
. He did not say, "I’ll give You the
kingdoms of Russia and England and India and China, but
that’s all." No, Satan promised Him
all the kingdoms
! But
according to the devil’s deal, what would Jesus have to do if He
were to get these kingdoms (Matthew 4:9)? ________________
___________________________________________________
Was Jesus willing to do this (Matthew 4:10)? _____ Was Jesus
willing to be a devil-worshiper? _____
According to Jesus, who is the only Person whom we should
worship and serve (Matthew 4:10)? ______________________
Jesus said "NO" to Satan’s offer, but sometime in the future the
devil will turn to another man and make the same offer, and this
man will say "YES." Jesus rejected and refused the devil’s
offer, but there will come another man who will accept it. The
devil will say, "If you worship me I will give you all the
kingdoms of the world
." Aman will come along who will accept
this offer. The devil will find his man!
What is His Name?
What will this man’s name be? We do not know what his real
name will be, but we do know what the Bible calls him. The
Bible calls him by three different names (among others), and
each name tells us something about this evil man:
1) The Beast
In the book of Revelation, this man is called THE BEAST (see
Rev. 13:1, 2,4; 16:13; 19:19-20; 20:10). God sees this man as a
BEAST! God sees him as a wild animal. When we think of a
wild and ferocious animal, do we usually think of a gentle lamb
or a graceful deer? No, we usually think of a dangerous animal
such as a lion, tiger, leopard, or bear. We think of an animal
that has the power to kill and destroy. During the time of great
trouble, Satan’s man will be very dangerous and he will have
power to kill and destroy (Rev. 13:7, 10).
2) The Man of Sin
In 2 Thessalonians 2:3, this man is called "THE MAN OF
______." We need to remember that sin began
with
the
devil:
"for
the
devil
