((( Please note, this "information" is only a theory, as students of Bible Prophecy there

be" will end up being, in my insignificant
opinion it does appear to fit Alexander
more so than any other *)))
The titles of the Final World
Conqueror :
The Conqueror on the white horse ( Revelation 6 ) ( Alexander the Great
previously conquered what we call today the Middle East and beyond, the Prophecy
fits his shoe )
The Antichrist (1Jn.4:3).
Beast from the sea (Rev.13:1).
Abomination
of desolation (Mt.24:15).
Little horn (Dan.7:8).
Man of lawlessness (2Thess.2:3).
Prince (Dan.9:26).
The
son of destruction (2Thess.2:3).
King of the West ( Biblical Prophecies mention a : King of the South,
North and Kings of the East being against him )
His Origin :
He
is a resuscitated unbeliever from hell (Rev.11:7 "...the beast that comes up out of the abyss";
Rev.17:8 "The beast...is about to come up out of the abyss and to go to destruction").
He
is a king from the pre-Roman past (Rev.17:8 "The beast that you saw (cp. vs.7, where an angel tells John
the mystery of the beast with seven heads and ten horns) was and is not (pre-Roman), and
is about to come up out of the abyss....when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come; Rev.17:9,10 "The
seven heads...are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes he must remain a little
while"; Rev.17:11 "And the beast which was and is not...is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction").
He
predates John's day, is a king among the seven, comes up from hell, and has a political future with the ten horns (kings),
Dan.7:7,8; Rev.7:12.
His identity: (Rev.17:7 "mystery
of...the beast").
He is associated with the seven heads as a king. He must have been a leader of Egypt, Assyria,
Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, or the Revived Roman Empire (R.R.E.).
Since he predated the head (Rome) associated with
John's time, he must have had a history associated with heads one through five (Rev.17:8 "was and is not";
Rev.17:10 "they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come".
The
most famous and qualified king of the ancient world is Alexander the Great, head number five.
The Pharaoh of Exodus
is disqualified from ruling the R.R.E. due to race. ( never was one of the 4 Beasts )
The Assyrian monarchs are not
generally well known and racially will not work.
The most famous Babylonian and Persian kings were believers.
Advantages of the selection of Alexander:
He was the most famous king of antiquity,
the most written about. His military feats were unmatched, and he was a prototype to subsequent leaders.
He was racially
a European (cp. Dan.9:26).
He is well known among moderns and could easily prove his identity to the scholarly world.
His
rise and fall was an early subject of Old Testament prophecy (Dan.8:1 ).
He was a strong globalist.
He suffered
a fatal wound cutting short his life at age 33, not realizing his globalist ambitions (Rev.13:3,12,14). ( notice he
died about at the same age as Jesus ! )
He believed himself to be a son of Zeus and was more arrogant in this area than
most, Dan.8:8 "Then the male goat magnified himself exceedingly. But as soon as he was mighty, the
large horn was broken".
His reappearance satisfies the Biblical data in Rev.13:1 and Rev.17:7-18.
One
of his successors, a Greek by the name of Antiochus Epiphanes, is singled out by the Holy Spirit as a "TYPE" of
the Antichrist (Dan.8:23-26).
He justifies "the strong delusion" designation.
The
time of his reappearance:
It will occur after the Rapture (2Thess.2:38, i.e. the Holy Spirit restrains its appearance
until He [the Holy Spirit] is taken out of the way).
He will be on the earth for the entire seven years, Rev.17:12 "but
they (ten kings) receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour".
His relationship to the ten kings: (horns or toes).
The ten horns with diadems are ten European
nations (kings) who arise out of the Roman empire in the fig tree generation (Rev.17:12).
Politically, economically,
militarily, and religiously he uses them as his political base to conquer the world.
The ten under his orders (and divine
direction) destroy Roman Catholicism (Rev.17:13-18).
Three of the ten revolt, but he defeats them, leaving seven (Dan.17:8,20).
This
explains the phrase in Rev.17:11 that he is an "eighth".
He leads Europe's forces into Armageddon
(king of the west), Dan.11:40-45.
His relationship to Israel :
He is pseudo
pro-Semitic.
He signs a seven year treaty with Israel in the middle of the Tribulation, guaranteeing military protection
from her enemies in exchange for recognition as Israel's Messiah ? (Dan.9:27; Isa.28:1522).
He murders the two witnesses
at the midpoint (Rev.11:3,7).
He will pursue true Jews into their hiding places, only to be thwarted (Rev.12:13-16).
He
cannot touch the 144,000 (cp. Rev.14).
At the very end, he lays siege to Jerusalem under the pretense of delivering
Israel from invading armies, and to destroy true Jews in Jerusalem (Rev.12:17).
His relationship
to the false prophet:
He will employ this Jew to head up his cult (Rev.13:11-18).
The false prophet will
set up Alexander's computer image in the Tribulational temple.
He will forbid buying and selling to anyone not possessing
the laser tattoo.
He will wage a genocide campaign against believers who reject his number and worship (Dan.7:21; Rev.15:2;
16:5,6; cp. 7:9ff).
He will be empowered to perform "false (lying) wonders"
and miracles (2Thess.2:9; Rev.13:1214).
His enemies: (Dan.11:40-45).
King
of the north (Russia).
Kings of the east ( China and "Asean Nations ").
King
of the south (Egypt-Arab Muslim Alliance ).
True Jews.
The Lord.

personally at the Second Advent (2Thess.2:8; Rev.19:20).
