"To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the Man of the Earth may no more oppress" (Psa.10:18). The "Wicked One" describes his character; the "Man of the Earth" defines his position. The one speaks of his awful depths of depravity; the other of his vast dominions. The sphere of his operations will be no mere local one, He will become World-emperor. He will be a king of kings and lord of lords, (Rev.13:7). When the true Christ appeared on earth Satan offered Him "all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them" if He would fall down and worship him. When the false Christ appears, this offer will be repeated, the conditions will be met, and the tempting gift will be bestowed (Rev.13:2). In consequence of this he shall be "the Man of the Earth;" just as later, Christ shall be "King over all the earth" (Zech.14:7).
