Antichrist - male?

Question

Are we being a bit sexist here by assuming the antichrist will be a man? And if so, are we erring on the side of saying men are the only ones who could be that evil or on the side of saying a woman could never be that powerful?

As far as the Bible saying "he" or "man", those could easily be translation errors from a word that really meant "gender neutral pronoun" or "person" or "human".

Answer 1

Nope.
Antichrist will not be born of the womb or possess a human body. Satan is Antichrist and will be supernatural and able to perform miracles to deceive the whole world. “Anti” in the Greek means “instead of” or instead of Christ.

CHRIST SPEAKING
(Luke 10:18-19) And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. (19) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

SATAN BOOTED OUT – DRAGON SERPENT DEVIL
(Rev.12:7-9) And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, (8) And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. (9) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

SATAN THE SERPENT - BEGUILES
(II Cor.11:3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

SATAN HIMSELF – TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT
(II Cor.11:14-15) And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

SATAN CLAIMING TO BE GOD
(II Thes.2:3-4) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

SATAN WILL DECEIVE THE WHOLE WORLD
(Dan.9:27) And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

CHRIST SPEAKING
(Mark 13:21-22) And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: (22) For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

Answer 2

I can't remember the exact chapter or verse, but in 1 John, it refers to the antichrist as "he". I remember this from my christian days as being a topic covered in bible study.

You're right, it could be translation errors, but I believe the whole bible was bunk to begin with. It was written by man so, even if it were true that it was the word of god (which it's not), it is also possible that the men writing it put in "he" for his own purposes. It is obvious that the bible portrays women as less worthy so it fits that he would write it as so.

Answer 3

It would be blatant ignorance to assume that a female could not be as powerful. It is easier to assume a male figure due to the aggressive nature of the beast. However, God and the Antichrist are not gender specific as they are not mortal or flesh (per say)

Answer 4

Okay, let's say it's a hermaphroditical gorilla. There's always been the idea of males being dominant since the christians were invented. Before that, women had a better place, and female deities of Paganism were more numerous than male deities.

Answer 5

Women can be evil also, but Antichrist (anti-messiah) will be looked upon as The Messiah (male). Jesus the real messiah was male of course.

Answer 6

i think of the reason gays are hated in faith is with the aid of the fact women human beings are a contemporary to adult men from God. If somebody provides a contemporary, tremendously one so magnificent and alluring, you're able to no longer (and does no longer) reject it! gay human beings love something so comparable to themselves and that is seen as loving themselves too lots, the place as women human beings are so diverse to adult men and yet we discover them so exciting and magnificent, yet we will in no way comprehend them. i do no longer think of the antichrist will come from a guy as that looks a sprint too intense. i think of he already exists particularly and he's something that has been around for a protracted time... in accordance to a pair historical textual content fabric.

Answer 7

Are you asking this because of my question? It will be a man as the bible says. I say that men are the only ones who could be that evil LOL!!

Answer 8

Who Is the Antichrist?

“YOU HAVE HEARD THAT ANTICHRIST IS COMING.”—1 JOHN 2:18.

IF YOU were warned that a dangerous criminal was seen heading toward your neighborhood, what would you do? You would likely search out accurate details about his appearance and methods. You would be on the alert.

A similar situation exists today. We have been warned by the apostle John’s words: “Every inspired expression that does not confess Jesus does not originate with God. Furthermore, this is the antichrist’s inspired expression which you have heard was coming, and now it is already in the world.” (1 John 4:3) Is there such an antichrist, an enemy of God and deceiver of men, now threatening the well-being of all humanity?

John used the term “antichrist” five times in two of his epistles. It refers to an entity that opposes what the Bible teaches about Jesus Christ and includes impostors who present themselves as Christ or as sent by him. The Bible gives reliable information about the antichrist. But as sometimes happens with felons, unfounded reports regarding this enigmatic entity have received more notice than the truth.

A Case of Mistaken Identity

Since the days of the apostle John, men have claimed that John’s words about an antichrist designate one specific individual. People have proposed various candidates. Centuries ago many thought that Roman Emperor Nero was the antichrist. Later, the flood of hatred and terror let loose by Adolf Hitler convinced many that he was the antichrist. The term was even applied to German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Yet others believe that the antichrist is still to come and that he will appear as a shrewd, ruthless politician who is out to rule the world. They believe that the wild beast of Revelation chapter 13 is a specific reference to the antichrist mentioned by John. They say that its mark of 666 will somehow identify this future champion of wickedness.

Those promoting these ideas assume that John pointed to just one antichrist. But what do his words show? Consider 1 John 2:18: “Just as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now there have come to be many antichrists.” Yes, “many antichrists,” not one, were responsible for the spiritually troubled situation back in the first century. Today there are, not one, but many antichrists who form the antichrist class. Collectively, they have heaped spiritual ruin upon mankind. (2 Timothy 3:1-5, 13) Who make up the antichrist?

Let us look at the wild beast of Revelation chapter 13 as a possibility. The apostle John wrote: “The wild beast that I saw was like a leopard, but its feet were as those of a bear, and its mouth was as a lion’s mouth.” (Revelation 13:2) What do these elements signify?

Bible scholars have noted a connection between Revelation chapter 13 and Daniel chapter 7. God gave Daniel a vision of figurative beasts, including a leopard, a bear, and a lion. (Daniel 7:2-6) What meaning did God’s prophet assign to them? He wrote that those wild animals symbolized earthly kings, or governments. (Daniel 7:17) So we can logically conclude that the wild beast of Revelation represents human governments. Since these governments oppose God’s Kingdom, they constitute a part of the antichrist.

Who Else Make Up the Antichrist?

When the Christ, the Son of God, walked the earth, he had many enemies. Although he is now beyond physical reach, he has modern-day opponents. Note who are included among them.

The apostle John stated: “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) Apostates and leaders of false worship twist the clear teachings of Jesus into knots of religious deceit. Such ones reject Bible truth and spread lies in the name of God and Christ. They deny the true relationship of the Father and the Son by their Trinity doctrine. Therefore, they too are a part of the antichrist.

Jesus forewarned his disciples at Luke 21:12: “People will lay their hands upon you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons . . . for the sake of my name.” Since the first century, true Christians have endured savage persecution. (2 Timothy 3:12) Fomenters of such treatment work against Christ. They too are a component of the antichrist.

“He that is not on my side is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters.” (Luke 11:23) Here Jesus proclaims that all who oppose him and the divine purposes he supports fall into the category of the antichrist. What end awaits these?

What Awaits Antichrists?

“[God] will destroy those speaking a lie. A man of bloodshed and deception Jehovah detests,” says Psalm 5:6. Does this apply to antichrists? Yes. The apostle John wrote: “Many deceivers have gone forth into the world, persons not confessing Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.” (2 John 7) For their lies and deception, Almighty God will bring ruin upon antichrists.

As the time of executing that sentence draws near, true Christians must not allow anti-Christian deceit and pressure, especially from apostates, to weaken their faith. John’s warning is urgent: “Look out for yourselves, that you do not lose the things we have worked to produce, but that you may obtain a full reward.”—2 John 8.

Answer 9
