The Enemy’s Battle Plan Exposed – What Satan has Planned for The End Times “Part 2”

Posted July 16, 2025 | End Times Watch | River Wilde

We left off yesterday with the Antichrist being introduced onto the world’s stage. This will not be satan himself, (yet) but will be someone closely working under his influence.

The Antichrist is a coming world leader, prophesied in the Bible, who will rise during the end times. He will appear as a charismatic, powerful, and peace-promoting figure—but he is a deceiver, working under Satan’s authority.

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.”
— 2 Thessalonians 2:9 (KJV)

He is not Satan himself, but he is Satan’s ultimate puppet—completely possessed, empowered, and driven by the devil. Just as Jesus is the Son of God, the Antichrist is Satan’s counterfeit “messiah.”

There will be no need to guess who this person is, for those of us who have been made aware of his coming will be able to identify him easily. So, what is his purpose? What specifically will the Antichrist do in hopes to get YOU to follow him?

First off, this is satan’s team:

• Satan (the Dragon) = counterfeit Father
• Antichrist (the Beast) = counterfeit Christ
• False Prophet = counterfeit Holy Spirit

Together, they form an unholy trinity.

The antichrist and the False Prophet, under the influence and guidance of satan, will form what is called a “One World Government” as well as a “One World Religion.” Let’s take a look at what these organizations entail.

One World Government (KJV)

The Antichrist will rule over a global political system during the Great Tribulation. The Bible calls it a beast—a symbol of a powerful empire.

“And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
— Revelation 13:7b (KJV)

This shows the Antichrist will rule the world, having authority over every tribe, language, and nation. It’s a picture of global government, likely centralized through economic control and political manipulation.

“These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.”
— Revelation 17:13 (KJV)

The kings (world leaders) will unite and give their power to the Antichrist—one global leader with full authority.

One World Religion (KJV)

This global empire will also include a unified religious system led by the False Prophet, promoting worship of the Antichrist.

“And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast…”
— Revelation 13:12 (KJV)

The False Prophet will create a false global religion where everyone is forced to worship the beast (Antichrist). Refusing to comply leads to death:

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…”
— Revelation 13:17 (KJV)

“…as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”
— Revelation 13:15 (KJV)

This is religious and economic tyranny—faith in the beast becomes mandatory.

But how will this be enforced? How will the antichrist demand that everyone follow him? The answer is so simple, it’s frightening!!!

“And he causeth all… to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads… that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…” — Revelation 13:16–17 (KJV)

This is total economic control. The enemy’s plan includes tracking and restricting all financial activity. If you don’t bow to the system, you won’t survive in the world’s eyes.

IMPORTANT – KEY POINT

Remember how we have been discussing that many churches are priming their members for the ultimate betrayal? Well…this will be the time…Right here.

A new religion will be formed, insisting that all members worship the beast. If your religion encourages you to follow and join this religion, just as THEY will be doing, you will be in great danger of losing for your soul.

This commitment of taking the mark of the beast is not something that you will do by accident, for you will be fully informed that you are taking satan’s mark, and choose to follow him into eternity.

Even though you will have the facts of such a commitment, can you see how the influence of your church in trying to persuade you could be a contributing factor?

Here are some likely excuses or justifications that compromised churches and religious leaders may use to convince their members to take the mark of the beast—all while claiming to follow God:

1. “It’s Just for Buying and Selling – It’s Not Spiritual”

Many will say:

“The mark is just a harmless economic tool, like a credit card or digital ID.”

But Scripture says:

“…no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…”
— Revelation 13:17 (KJV)

The mark is directly tied to worship of the beast (Revelation 14:9), so taking it isn’t just economic—it’s a spiritual betrayal.

2. “God Wants Us to Submit to Government”

They may quote:

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers…” — Romans 13:1 (KJV)

But that doesn’t apply when government contradicts God. The apostles said:

“We ought to obey God rather than men.”
— Acts 5:29 (KJV)

Obeying a satanic system is not submission to God—it’s rebellion against Him.

3. “Our Leaders Received Revelation That It’s Safe”

In hierarchical churches, people are often told:

“Trust the prophet” or “The leaders won’t lead us astray.”

But Jesus warned:

“Take heed that no man deceive you.” — Matthew 24:4 (KJV)

Even “an angel from heaven” preaching another gospel is cursed (Galatians 1:8). Personal revelation must always align with the Word of God.

4. “God Knows Your Heart”

Some may say:

“It’s okay if you don’t mean it in your heart. God understands.”

But Scripture is clear:

“If any man worship the beast… the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God…”
— Revelation 14:9–10 (KJV)

This is black and white: take the mark = judgment. No excuses. No loopholes.

5. “We Need to Keep the Peace”

Another common line:

“Let’s not rock the boat. We need unity and peace.”

But:

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh…”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJV)

Compromising truth for peace is not God’s way. Jesus said He came not to bring peace, but a sword (Matthew 10:34).

6. “It’s Loving to Comply – Don’t Be a Trouble Maker”

They’ll twist love into tolerance and conformity. But love warns and love resists evil. Jesus overturned tables, called out false teachers, and laid down His life for the truth.

Are you seeing the strength that comes to you from being made aware of satan’s battle plan? Can you see all of the contributing factors that may influence your actions into being caught up in the coming deception? Knowing these things now can prevent your deception. It IS worth taking the time to study the end-times.

Another Key Point – Satan’s Battle Plan

Due to the efforts of the antichrist, a temple will be built in Israel upon the Temple Mount spot. This will be seen as the world’s temple. When you see this begin to happen, you know that we are simply follow the script of the end times that God has given to us through the scriptures. So, what will be his next move with this temple?

The Antichrist will desecrate the temple during the end times. This blasphemous act is often referred to as the “abomination of desolation.” It marks a major turning point in end-times prophecy, occurring at the midpoint of the 7-year tribulation. Let’s break this down.

Antichrist Desecrates the Temple (KJV Scripture)

1. Jesus Foretold It – “Abomination of Desolation”

“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)”
— Matthew 24:15 (KJV)

• Jesus referred to Daniel’s prophecy.
• The “holy place” = the rebuilt Jewish temple in Jerusalem.
• The Antichrist (the “man of sin”) will stand in the temple, claiming to be God.

2. Daniel Saw It Coming

“And in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate…”
— Daniel 9:27 (KJV)

• “In the midst of the week” = middle of the 7-year tribulation.
• He stops Jewish worship and commits abomination—likely setting up an idol or declaring himself divine.

3. Paul Describes the Antichrist in the Temple

“…that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God… so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”
— 2 Thessalonians 2:3–4 (KJV)

• The Antichrist enters the temple and claims to be God—this is the ultimate desecration.

4. The Beast in Revelation

“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies… and he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle…”
— Revelation 13:5–6 (KJV)

• The Antichrist (the beast) will blaspheme God and His temple—further confirming his desecration of holy things.

During this same time period, 3.5 years into the 7-year tribulation period, the Antichrist will appear to die and miraculously rise again, mimicking the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This event will shock the world, and many will then worship the beast, believing in his false divinity. This counterfeit resurrection is empowered by Satan and may even involve Satan entering or fully possessing the Antichrist.

Here’s what the Bible says:

1. The Deadly Wound That Was Healed

“And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.”
— Revelation 13:3 (KJV)

• The Antichrist suffers what appears to be a fatal wound.
• Then he miraculously recovers, leading to worldwide astonishment and worship.

2. Satan Gives Him His Power

“And the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.”
— Revelation 13:2 (KJV)

• The dragon is Satan (Revelation 12:9).
• Satan empowers the Antichrist with supernatural authority.
• After the resurrection-like event, it’s possible Satan enters him directly, fully possessing him.

3. The Beast That “Was, and Is Not, and Yet Is”

“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition…”
— Revelation 17:8 (KJV)

• This cryptic language suggests:
  • The beast (Antichrist) was alive,
  • then is not (dies),
  • and then ascends—returns with new power, likely possessed by Satan himself.

“And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder… when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.”

This imitation of Christ’s death and resurrection will be one of Satan’s greatest deceptions.

4. The World Begins to Worship Him

“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast…”
— Revelation 13:4 (KJV)

• After the Antichrist “resurrects,” the world worships both the beast and Satan.
• This is open satanic worship, disguised as worship of a false messiah.

So, there you have satan’s Battle Plan for the end times. I invite you to continue to study the things that I have written to better prepare you for the deception that is to come upon the earth. As I mentioned before, as you know his plan, it can easily be defeated!! We know what he is up to, and how he plans on trying to deceive you. Knowing the truth squashes his elaborate plan.

If I had one word of advice relating to what I would encourage people to do TODAY in preparing for what is to come, it would be this:

“Realize that religious leaders may deceive you—and in fact, some may have already been planting the seeds of loyalty, preparing you to trust them when they ultimately persuade you to join the coming New World Religion.”

I hope that you’ve found that knowledge is power! I’m grateful for the information that God has shared with us through the scriptures.
