The Abomination of Desolation - St. Marys Coptic Orthodox Church

THE UNHOLY TRINITY 57
What this means is that the beast (Antichrist, Abomination of
Desolation, little horn, Man of sin etc ...) will be a great orator, a
charismatic speaker able to move the multitudes with his words, just
as Hitler and Nasser did before him, but only on a grander scale. A
very eloquent rhetorician that will appeal to everyone: young and
old, male, female, Muslim, Christian, Jew, and Hindu alike. He will
be so persuasive that people will believe his claims that he is actually
God!
HIS REIGN:
This false facade of righteousness, together with his “great
words” that is his great ability to dupe people by his speeches, will
lead to the great majority of people demanding that he is to be
proclaimed king or universal ruler.
And all this he will do corruptly and deceitfully, and with the
purpose of deluding all to make him king. For when the
peoples and tribes see so great virtues and so great powers in
him, they will all with one mind meet together to make him
king. And above all others shall the nation of the Hebrews be
dear to the tyrant himself, while they say one to another, Is
there found indeed in our generation such a man, so good
and just? That shall be the way with the race of the Jews
pre-eminently, as I said before, who, thinking, as they do, that
they shall behold the king himself in such power, will
approach him to say, We all confide in thee, and
acknowledge thee to be just upon the whole earth; we all
hope to be saved by thee; and by thy mouth we have received
just and incorruptible judgment. And at first, indeed, that
deceitful and lawless one, with crafty deceitfulness, will refuse
such glory; but the men persisting, and holding by him, will
declare him king. 1
Some writers believe that Antichrist will begin his activity under the
conditions of a world war, or a great international financial crisis:
