3 And[kai] I saw[eido] one[mia] of his[autos] heads[kephale] as it were[hos] wounded[sphazo] to[eis] death;[thanatos] and[kai] his[autos] deadly[thanatos] wound[plege] was healed:[therapeuo] and[kai] all[holos] the world[ge] wondered[thaumazo][thaumazo] after[opiso][en] the beast.[therion] KJV-Interlinear

3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; NASB

One of the tools that Satan uses in order to gain the adoration and following of the public, is through deception and false signs, 2 Thess. 2:9.

This will be his most important, yet false sign in all of history.

Only God can resurrect, Satan cannot.

At some point in the Tribulation, in order to reinforce the reputation of the anti-christ, there will be some sort of event that will seem to take the anti-christs life, Rev. 13:12.

Only God can resurrect. Therefore, the impression that will be made, that the anti-christ has somehow defeated death, will be completely and thoroughly false and staged. But a naïve public, will see it as some sort of supernatural power, and the worship of the anti-christ will escalate.

The Bible defines only four resurrections – first Christ, then next the Church at the Rapture, then the Old Testament believers at the Second Advent, and finally all believers remaining at the end of the Millennium. There is no record of any single individual being resurrected, ever, except Christ.

Therefore, this resurrection will be false and designed to deceive everyone.

Such is the nature of Satan and evil. They are not capable of dealing in truth, in anything.

The timing of this accident or whatever it is, is speculative at best, for us.  However, one might presume that it will occur early in the Tribulation as the anti-christ is solidifying his power and authority. Perhaps when he is initially taking control of the three nations that will defy him.

In any case, the world will be in awe of him after this seemingly obvious miracle, and the world will follow him, at least initially.

People who lack doctrine, lack the ability to distinguish the truth from the false, and are thus easily deceived.
