I think the anti Christ that John expects to come ,will have obvious super natural powers to deceive, so much so that he will some how broker a false peace between the nation of Israel and Islam , and he may even manage to get the Islamic leaders to give up their third most holiest site so Israel will be able to build their temple , now Im sure the Islamic leaders will have to swallow hard to go along with that but some how the anti Christ assures them that he will turn on Israel and literally annihilate Israel and their temple forever the one to come has phenomenal powers over the Nations leaders and does the unimaginable
the difference Im not real sure , I am not getting or grasping all the difference
we see the spirit of the anti Christ working when we see falsification and hostilities toward God's sovereign word , we see it when we see people try to exalt them selves rather than exalting God .
