How does Les describe the Antichrist's initial appearance and later role?

The Antichrist initially appears as the white horse, a deceptive figure who comes on the scene promising everything the world wants. He claims to be Christ, saying “I am the Christ,” and deceives many. Later, he becomes the very emissary of Satan himself, fulfilling this end-time role.

Les explains that the white horse in Revelation 6 is the appearance of the Antichrist, and Jesus’ Matthew 24 discourse describes this same seven-year period. In verse 5, many come in His name saying, “I am the Christ,” and they deceive many. Les says the Antichrist will come on the scene as a deceptive person, promising everything the world wants, but he will soon become the very emissary of Satan himself.

He deceives many while appearing attractive, before later becoming Satan's emissary. His initial presentation hides his eventual role.
