Is there an "antichrist" or "anti-messiah" in Judaism? When is it supposed to come?

Answer 1

No.

In judaism, there is no messiah, not yet. The religion teaches that there must be complete peace throughout the world in order for the meshiach (messiah) to arrive.

Throughout the history of judaism, various individuals have claimed to have been the meshiach, but there has still been an abundance of violence, which automatically negated their claims.

Without a meshiach, there can be no anti-meshiach. In fact, the very concept of an "anticrhist" type being makes the concept of the meshiach an anathema.

If you are asking this in order to help to understand a concept in judaism, then thank you for the question. If you want to continue to explore other religions and their concepts, it's pretty easy to do. Arrange for appointments with the clergy of these religions, and just say that you are searching or that you want to begin to study comparative religion. Part of the job of a clergy person is to help people to find answers.

Alternatively, you could start reading about comparative religion. Karen Armstrong is a former nun who teaches (in a jewish college) and writes extensively on that very subject. There are others as well.

Answer 2

xtians have the gall to take mythology and sprinkle some Jewish scripture round haphazardly and with out regard to accuracy, hijack the TaNaKh to help a clean and punctiliously unrelated faith, then cleverly call the training parables of the TaNaKh the 'previous' testomony and their literal mythology (which teaches not some thing yet a thanks to change into delusional) the 'new' testomony. a minimum of xtians and muslims comprehend that the God of the TaNaKh is the authentic God, yet their assumptions are so convoluted that unbending what they have made crooked would take a real miracle. considering prophesy says that beforehand end circumstances the international will turn to Judaism, xtians are utilizing popular xtian common sense with the help of basically naming themselves Jews. They recommend nicely, they basically have 0 common sense and stay with continual debilitating worry of demons.

Answer 3

Yes there is. While Jews await the coming Messiah, New Testament scriptures warn of a false messiah that will deceive many, not just the Jews.
Arrival dates are unknown, except to say that the end of the church age will coincide with his arrival.

The concept is not popular in today's Judaism, but in years past the rabbis taught of two Messiahs: one being a suffering servant, the other being a ruling King to relieve the suffering of Israel in general.

Answer 4

1 John 2:18: “Just as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now there have come to be many antichrists.”

“Who is the liar if it is not the one that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one that denies the Father and the Son.” (1 John 2:22)

Answer 5

No. G-D has no enemies. To say otherwise would be to give G-D an opponent and such an opponent would lead to polytheism. As says the Shema, "Hear O Israel, The Lord is our G-D! the Lord is One!" There are none who can stand to face against G-D.

Answer 6

Because Jews do not believe that the Messiah/Jesus has come yet, they do not believe in an anti-Christ. I believe (don't quote me) that that is first mentioned in the New Testament.

Answer 7

I don'tknow much about Judaism but isn't there a devil? What about satan in the garden of eden? Wasn't satan against God? That would be a being that was against God. Although not even close to having the power of God.

Answer 8

No there is not. We are monotheistic so to think G-d has an "opponent" is just silly; that would be polytheistic.

Answer 9

NO.
We do not have such a thing.
