THE ANTI-CHRIST AND TRIBULATION EXPLAINED
1. The seat of the beast
2. The risen son of perdition
3. Who is the great tribulation reserved for?
When you see the abomination of desolation...The seat of satan
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is (Revelation 2:12-13)
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north (Isaiah 14:12-13)

The Seat of Satan - The Pergamos Altar
Pergamon was also the site of the Pergamon Altar. The Altar was erected in approximately 180 B.C.E. as a memorial to the victories of Attalos I. It was dedicated to Zeus and Athena. The Altar shows a freize of 75 gods and their adversaries fighting. The freize represents the triumph of the Greeks over the Persians. The Zeus and Athena scenes are the two most prominent scenes on the freize. The scene of Zeus is as follows.
It is currently located in the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (Museum), Germany
It is not the Ark of the Covenant/mercy seat as the true Israelis would expect.
And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel (Exodus 25:10-22)

Hitler used the template of the Pergamon Altar as a duplicate for his monstrous Nuremburg rallies
No doubt this altar, in the shape of a throne, will be moved to Jerusalem in the time of satan's rule of this world.
And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain (Revelation 16:10)
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. (Revelation 13:2)
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God SITTETH in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God (2 Thess 2:3-4).
The Pergamos altar, honoring among the other 75 famous gods, was also dedicated to Asclepius (centered around a cult dedicated to medicine) to which the serpent
medical symbol originates.

Many people believed that the medical symbol came from Moses lifting up the serpent, however, such would be in
contradiction to the Word of God.
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God (Deuteronomy 7:25)
Satan, on the other hand, is the master of imitation and deceit.
Go figure that the freemasons also honor the serpent symbol
Belt hooks for Masonic Aprons
They will deny their serpent symbol...but
The Masonic Entered Apprentice Handbook
the Serpent is regarded as 'The Shining One' the Holy wisdom itself. Thus we see that the Serpent on our apron denotes that we are encircled by the Holy Wisdom . . . The snake is peculiarly associated with (the Hindu god) Shiva, the Destroyer, whose close symbolic association with the third (Masonic) degree is obvious . . . He is depicted making the (sign) of a Master Mason."
In reality, the hawk-headed Serpent, genius of light, or good genius, was the symbol of the sun." The horned SERPENT was the hieroglyphic for a God."
 
The risen satan vs. the Risen LORD.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that MAN of sin be revealed, the son of perdition (SATAN); Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he [Holy Spirit] who now letteth will let, until he [Holy Spirit] be taken out of the way. AND THEN shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders (2 Thessalonians 2 3-12).
Notice that the "son of perdition" [son of satan] is revealed first and then that WICKED one is revealed after the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way (world).
Every word of God is pure (Proverbs 30:5).
The son of perdition comes in peacefully, is killed and is raised from dead as satan himself. Let's follow the scriptures.
And in his [anti-christ] estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. (Daniel 11:21)
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Daniel 8:25)
Follow Isaiah 14
Which clearly speaks first of Lucifer, then the man, then his death and then the risen beast.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (Isaiah 14:12)
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this THE MAN that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms (Isaiah 14:16)
But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial (Isaiah 14:19-20)
Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his
right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. (Zechariah 11:17)

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. (Revelation 13:14)
Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent (Isaiah 14:29).

Every word of God is pure. When Revelation identifies the risen son of perdition as a "beast", it is not
symbolic!
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder (Revelation 17:8)
And the BEAST that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. (Revelation 17:11)
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the BEAST that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them (Revelation 11:7)
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)
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? (Revelation 13:4)
The 7 year tribulation is set, but the first 3 1/2 years of the "son of perdition" is of peace.
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand (Daniel 8:25)
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. (Daniel 11:21)
But at the end of such time, when THEY (non-believers) hear this, then the last 3 1/2 years of
tribulation comes upon THEM.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape (1 Thessalonians 5:3)
And who is them?
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? (Matthew 12:24)
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? (Matthew 23:33)
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it (John 8:44)
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels (Matthew 13:39)
The serpent's generation:
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.(Matthew 23:36)
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. (Matthew 24:34)
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.(Job 21:30)
Jesus does not lie and he meant every word He said. He called Judas a devil.
Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? (Matthew 6:70)
But every man in his own order: [1] Christ the firstfruits; [2] afterward they that are Christ's at his coming (rapture). [3] Then cometh the end (1 Corinthians 23-24)
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. (Matthew 10:22)
The "creatures" are the second fruits of Christ who will have to chose between the Lord or satan with the
mark of the cursed.
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:19).
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope (Romans 8:20),
Because the creature itself ALSO SHALL be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God
This separates the creature from "the Children of GOD"
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they (who is they?), but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. (Romans 8:21-22).
So, what happens to the blessed believers during the terrible tribulation?
