Resurrection of the Antichrist

Medical technology and transhumanism spawn the Antichrist.

Let's revisit Revelation and take a look again at the Antichrist beast.  I think we will find some surprises, especially considering current and future medical technologies and transhumanism.  Let's ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in this study.  In Jesus Name we pray.  Amen.

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 Rev. 13:3)  One of the beast's heads appeared to have been killed, but the lethal wound had been healed. And the whole world followed the beast in amazement. (NET Rev. 13:3)  What are we told?  We are clearly told, twice in the same verse that this 'beast', man, had died.  He was dead.  'Slain,fatal wound, lethal wound, killed' are translations of the Greek words 'esphagmenen' meaning 'to slay, slaughter'.  That means, he was dead.  The other Greek words we are dealing with here are 'thanaton 'plege' defined 'death blow, death wound'.  [1}  James Strong translates this way:'slay, kill by violence, slaughter, wound mortally' [2]   And 'thanton' Strongs translates as 'death, physical or spiritual.' [3]  I don't think this leaves any question on whether this Son of Perdition (Thess.) Antichrist was dead or not.  He died.  

So, here's the question.  How does he get healed from being dead and come back to life?  This question  has been investigated by humanity for 2,000 years.  Ever since John saw this apparent resurrection in vision while he was on the island of Patmos.  And here we are today, with modern medical technology.  Let's take a look at what Revelation actually tells us about this healing from death.
