• Note the 100% words in the first two passages
• All deception and wickedness will be Antichrist's character, deceit will flow from his mouth
• Jesus character - pure and spotless, therefore, He only speaks the truth
• Abhor means to regard with disgust and hatred
• The Lord regards with disgust and hatred liars and murderers
• Antichrist's rule is going to be marked by the miraculous of Satan and will be the most powerful, harshest, bloodiest, and cruelest of any world leader but it will be brought to an end effortlessly by Jesus Himself
• Jesus is infinitely more powerful than His enemy
• Destruction is the end for those who image Antichrist
• Abundant, wonderful blessing belongs to those who follow Jesus

That's quite a picture, isn't it?  And we know Who wins...
