The Antichrist, Beasts, the Man of Lawlessness, and 666

A Collection of Works by Gary DeMar

On March 30, 1981, six shots cracked across the air outside the Washington Hilton and the president of the United States crumpled toward his limousine. Within minutes, reports were circulating that a top White House official was dead, that the president had suffered a near-fatal wound, and that he had somehow survived.

For Christians in the 1980s who saw "Antichrist" and "666" hiding behind every headline, Ronald Wilson Reagan-three six-letter names, a bullet, a wound, a "death" announced and then reversed —looked like the perfect candidate for the Beast of Revelation. In The Antichrist, Beasts, the Man of Lawlessness, and 666, Gary DeMar shows how moments like that are far from unique.

Across history, sincere believers have repeatedly "found" the Beast in popes, dictators, presidents, barcodes, credit cards, and even children's characters-because their own interpretive methods virtually guaranteed they would. This book exposes how those speculative systems work, why they keep failing, and how they can quietly deceive God's people. More importantly, it offers a careful, historically rooted, and thoroughly biblical approach to prophecy-one that takes time texts seriously, honors the original audience, and helps you read Revelation and the rest of Scripture with clarity, confidence, and conviction, unlocking God's Word without chasing the latest prophetic fad.
