First, there are many over the last two thousand years who were horrible but they will surpassed by the evil actions of this man to come. He will be empowered and controlled by Satan but we have insights to him:
- He (a non Jew) will come to power during the seven years of Tribulation.
- He will be a powerful and charismatic speaker - one who the masses will look to for leadership.
- His climb to power will overthrow others and his pride will show his blasphemy against God.
- His efforts will lead to peace in the mid east but he will break that covenant and will turn against Israel.
- He will persecute all who become Christians and he will kill God's two witnesses.
- It will appears as if he is killed but comes back to life ("according to the work of Satan").
- Many will worship him and he will cause "the abomination of desolation" in the rebuilt temple.
- He will be defeated by Christ at His return.
