Are the jews the antichrists?

Question

The bible warns of the antichrists
The understanding of one person being 'the' Antichrist appears to be combined in 1 John with the idea of a class of persons. There John speaks of "many antichrists" who typify the "spirit of the antichrist" that was both present in the first century ("is in the world already" 1John 4:3) and continues to exist down to this day. As John wrote, such an antichrist (or opponent of Christ) is anyone who "denies that Jesus is the Christ;" "denies the Father and the Son;" "does not confess Jesus;" and does "not confess the coming of Jesus."

Answer 1

Any person who are not with Christ and is against Him is am Anti Christ.
Against Christ, or an opposition Christ, a rival Christ. The word is used only by the apostle John. Referring to false teachers, he says (1Jo_2:18, 1Jo_2:22; 1Jo_4:3; 2Jo_1:7), “Even now are there many antichrists.”
(1.) This name has been applied to the “little horn” of the “king of fierce countenance” (Dan_7:24, Dan_7:25; Dan_8:23-25).
(2.) It has been applied also to the “false Christs” spoken of by our Lord (Mat_24:5, Mat_24:23, Mat_24:24).
(3.) To the “man of sin” described by Paul (2Th_2:3, 2Th_2:4, 2Th_2:8-10).
(4.) And to the “beast from the sea” (Rev_13:1; 17:1-18).
An'tichrist. This term, antichrist, is employed by the apostle John alone, and is defined by him in a manner which leaves no doubt as to its intrinsic meaning. With regard to its application, there is less certainty. In the first passage -- 1Jo_2:18 -- in which it occurs, the apostle makes direct reference to the false Christs whose coming, it had been foretold, should mark the last days. In 1Jo_2:22, we find, "he is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son;" and still more positively, "every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of antichrist." Compare 2Jo_1:7.
From these emphatic and repeated definitions, it has been supposed that the object of the apostle in his first Epistle was to combat the errors of Cerinthus, the Docetae and the Gnostics on the subject of the Incarnation. (They denied the union of the divine and human in Christ).
The coming of Antichrist was (believed to be foretold in the "vile person" of Daniel's prophecy, Dan_11:21, which received its first accomplishment in Antiochus Epiphanes, but of which the complete fulfillment was reserved for the last times. He is identified with "the man of sin, the son of perdition." 2Th_2:3.
This interpretation brings Antichrist into close connection with the gigantic power of evil, symbolized by the "beast," Rev_13:1, who received his power from the dragon (that is, the devil, the serpent of Genesis), continued for forty and two months, and was invested with the kingdom of the ten kings who destroyed the harlot Babylon, Rev_17:12; Rev_17:17, the city of seven hills.
The destruction of Babylon is to be followed by the rule of Antichrist for a short period, Rev_17:10, to be in his turn overthrown in "the battle of that great day of God Almighty," Rev_16:14, with the false prophet and all his followers. Revelation 19.
The personality of Antichrist is to be inferred, as well, from the personality of his historical precursor, as from that of him to whom he stands opposed. Such an interpretation is to be preferred to that which regards Antichrist as the embodiment and personification of all powers and agencies inimical to Christ, or of the Antichristian might of the world.

Answer 2

The Bible really does not say anything specific about where the antichrist will come from. Many Bible scholars speculate that he will come from a confederacy of ten nations and/or a reborn Roman empire (Daniel 7:24-25; Revelation 17:7). Others see him as being a Jew since he would have to be in order to claim to be the Messiah. It is all just speculation since the Bible does not specifically say where the antichrist will come from or what race he will be. One day, the antichrist will be revealed. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 tells us how we will recognize the antichrist, "Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God."

Answer 3

First, you're stepping into reeeally dangerous territory here. Your quotes don't single out Jews, but rather state that any non-Christian is an "Antichrist"; why specifically call out the Jews?

Second, all religious books have seen so many edits and revisions that there's hardly any concrete truth in there anymore. It's all been adapted and updated, in ways which just so happen to support the political ambitions of those overseeing the revisions. (See link for a book on the subject.)

Answer 4

Jews don't deny the father and the son. We accept the father, but believe Jesus isn't the son. Buddhists and Hindus don't accept the father and the son. Also, how do Jews typify the "spirit of the antichrist?"

Answer 5

No ! anti means "instead of". The Jewish people have rejected anyone that believes Yahu'shua of Nazareth as Messiah from being a legitimate Jew. I don't think they worship Messiah but the Father of the Messiah so they do not put anything in the place of the Messiah but are waiting for him to fulfil the rest of the prophecies before they choose to accept him.

I think it mor refers to the Gnostic faith that denies Yahu'shua came in a body of matter. It could also be those that even though they accept the person of the Messiah but will not let him reside within.

Answer 6

There is one antichrist and then those who have the spirit of antichrist. The Jews are still God's people, and in the tribulation many of them will turn to Christ. So being antisemitic....that's not so good.

Answer 7

right this is my clarification. The orthodox Jewish peoples are God's Covenant human beings. He might by no ability turn them away. The Jews have been God's first human beings. I won't circulate right into a protracted background, yet from the commencing up of time, our lord god made provision for the Salvation of all Mankind. This Salvation became sent to earth interior the guy of His son, Jesus Christ. The Jews did not have confidence that Jesus became the Christ (the Messiah, or the Savior.) they nonetheless do not. They carry close directly to their Pre-Christian ideals in that they shop on with the old testomony. They shop on with the regulation of God (and function extra many regulations to the unique.) human beings that believed that Jesus is and became the Christ, grew to grow to be Christians (and stay decrease than the dispensation of Grace). hence you easily have 2 separate families of God's human beings. people who stay decrease than the old regulation and are nonetheless watching for a clean Messiah. and people who have confidence that Jesus is properly that Messiah who has already come and could come again. it kind of feels to me that maximum Jews hate Christians yet Christians do not hate Jews because of the fact we are certainly grafted into the unique vine, which became the unique human beings of God. yet, if the Jews err and circulate against the classes of Christ, we've not got any legal duty to agree or cooperate with something we'd evaluate unholy. the present conflict between Israel and the Palestinians does not happen if Christians have been in authority there. we are human beings of peace and love and forgiveness. a minimum of a lot of human beings.

Answer 8

The antichrist is any spirit in the earth that denies Christ's deity, and the fact that he came in the flesh. its not a specific group, or a specific person, it is a spirit in the earth and people swallow it hook line and sinker. Read 1John4:3 KJV People who follow the unctions of the antichrist spirit are a part of it, its not just one person or group.

Answer 9

you are completely right about your meaning of Anti-Christ's or the spirit of Anti-Christ's. in a sense you could say that SOME Jews posses the spirit of anti-Christ, because of their rejection of his son. but you could also add.. atheist's, agnostic's, and all unbeliever's.
there is also another, that the Bible speaks of, this one is the anti-Christ.. in other words Satan incarnate. being filled with the spirit of Satan himself. this one is to come, he will proclaim himself as God after fooling many Jews that he is their messiah.
the Bible talks about him standing in the new temple and demand them to worship him! can you imagine how they will feel when they realize they have been duped?

Answer 10

Jews may not have accepted Jesus was the massiah ( christ ) but it is muslims who demote him to a mear prophet they are misleading christians more than the Jews. we must all be wear of those that come to lead us away from the yeshu'ah ( salvation ) through Jesus ( yeshua ) the ild testiment is very clear that yeshu'ah would come from God
