Right.
Even physically he will be attractive, appealing.
He will be like what everyone wants to be - attractive, smart.
The tree of death was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
That is both the knowledge of good and evil were on the same tree which brought man into sin and death.
The first three and one half years of the reign of Antichrist will be years of his good.
This will be followed by the last three and a half years of his evil.
Thus he comes with the consummate of human good and evil.
And he will be attractive at first until he is killed and resuscitated to imitate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Then his evil side comes out to the extreme.
But for millions it will be too late. Like the torrent of Niagra Falls after a certain point is just to powerful, so the current of appeal of the antichrist will be too powerful for millions. They cannot resist.
You are quite right to say he is highly thought of world wide with everyone's hopes.
