Who gave the Antichrist his blasphemous mouth?
According to Revelation, the blasphemous mouth was given to the Antichrist by a sovereign God. The text states that there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, indicating divine permission rather than independent power. This aligns with Daniel’s prophecy that he would blaspheme God.
Les explains that in this verse, the Antichrist was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and the text notes it was given 'by a sovereign God.' Les connects this to Daniel, who said the Antichrist would worship only the God of forces and would blaspheme God. Les also points out that this man and empire appear at the signing of the seven-year treaty in Daniel 9:27.
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
