The antichrist does not go against the false prophet,for he is like the ten horns,they really do not want the unified religious system,but it was only a stepping stone to the coming beast kingdom,it paved the way for the beast kingdom to come about,for it put the world unto the belief that the man of sin wanted them to have before he claims to be God,and that is the harnessing of nature for power,spiritual evolution,which when he claims to be God,he will convince them that he did it by the harnessing of nature,the new age concept that the world has been believing in the unified religious system,so it is easy for them to accept the antichrist claiming to be God through nature,for that was the unified religious system's beliefs,and the purpose for it.
They never wanted the unified religious system,not the man of sin,not the false prophet,and not the ten horns,it was only a system to get the world indoctrinated for what the beast kingdom will be about,spiritual evolution through nature,and then when the man of sin claims to be God,then they will do away with the system,they need it no more,for the beast exalts himself above all that is called God,or is worshipped,and exalts himself above all people,and he believes in no personal God,but the power of nature is his God.
It is the same with secret societies,and inner circles of the occult,like in Freemasonry,and the new age movement,and all other occult groups,which have an inner circle,and an outer circle.
They are too extreme in their occult beliefs for the general masses,for they would never accept them if they were public,so they put out a lighter version of their ways,in the outer circle of Freemasonry,outer circle of the new age movement,and all occult organizations,a version that is easier to swallow,more mellow in the occult,sounds like it could be the truth,but is still about harnessing nature for power,and let human nature takes its course,for it is lighter version of the occult,and not the extreme ways of the inner circle,but it causes the flesh to want more power,exalt themselves more,and after that working for a while,when the world gets to the beast kingdom,the outer circle became the inner circle lusting for power like a big dog.
The things they used to do for spiritual enlightenment like Yoga,crystals,aligning their chakras,and all that,are now like baby rattlers to them,and they want serious power now,and put them baby toys away.
The outer circle became the inner circle,and the beast kingdom will now be accepted,and implemented,that is inner circle,extreme occult all the way,with a kingdom set up for the worship of Lucifer,for all who do not love Jesus will worship the beast,and worship the dragon who gave power unto the beast.
They are intentionally setting up a kingdom for the worship of Lucifer,and the unified religious system got the juices flowing in the occult until it is bubbling,and boiling over,with them salivating,and craving some serious power,and put all the baby toys away,and they will believe that the New Age Christ will restore the hidden mysteries of the past,and mankind can get back the power that they used to possess in the past.
Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
The antichrist,the false prophet,and the ten horns,never wanted the unified religious system,but it was a tool used to provide the way they wanted them to think,and get caught up more in the occult,and become like the inner circle,so they will be accepting of the beast kingdom when the man of sin claims to be God,which then they have no need for her anymore,and they get rid of her,for they believe the antichrist is above all that they could ever practice,and believe,in the occult,and benefit them farther than all their practices they have practiced for spiritual enlightenment,spiritual evolution.
They want serious power now,and they say to the man of sin,bring it don't sing it.
The outer circle will become the inner circle,because the flesh will take its course among the wicked,and they never wanted then unified religious system,but was a tool used to provide that occult 101 basic training,and like the military they moved up the ranks,but in lusting for more power,and by the time they get to the beast kingdom they are dripping with arrogance,and want some serious power through nature.
And they will be like children wanting that candy to be distributed to them by the antichrist,occult powers given to them,and they will gobble it down for an occult sugar rush.
