Counterfeit Resurrection

My husband was watching an end-times TV show where the commentator said the anti-Christ will be killed and then resurrect himself during the Tribulation. The idea will be he can show himself to have great power and win the masses to his side. I have never heard of the anti-Christ dying during the Tribulation, have you? Is this Biblical?

Q. Thanks for a wonderful website! I really appreciate this opportunity to ask questions.

A. Speaking of the anti-Christ, Revelation 13:3 says “One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast.” This and other veiled references (he’s called the one who was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss in Rev. 17:8) lead many commentators to speculate that he will stage a death and resurrection to help consolidate his power. Most believe it will be a counterfeit event, but will fool the world nonetheless.
