I don't see how you got "trickery" out of this passage. It says that they "did the same." JD wrote: > As far a Revelation -- the apocalyptic is > not about the apocalyptic. Huh? What is that suppose to mean? JD wrote: > Specifically, the word used in this text is sameion > (as opposed to dunamis ) and is translated "signs" > in the NASV.

The question is whether that is all he is. Does he actually have any power? You think the lack of the word "dunamis" in this passage means that he does not. Do you then accept that if another passage ascribes dunamis to him, that he does have power? 2 Thessalonians 2:9 (9) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power [dunamis] and signs and lying wonders, See Rev. 13:2 also about the dunamis of the dragon.

Such would not be a prophet of any kind. A fraud is not the same thing as a false prophet. Balaam is an example of a false prophet who was not a fraud. Peace be with you.
