Answer 2

It often comes as a great surprise to people to discover that "the Antichrist" does not appear in the Book of Revelation at all. In fact, it's nowhere else in the Bible or in other apocalyptic literature except in a few passages in two of the Johannine Epistles.

The actual term "Antichrist" occurs five times in the New Testament and once in early Christian literature of the 2nd century CE. Most of the New Testament occurrences appear in 1 John (2.18, 2.22, 4.3), with one in 2 John 7:

22 Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son.

7 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

In both texts, the reference is clearly to Christians who bring a different doctrine of Christ, especially one that says that Jesus was never "in the flesh." In neither case does it refer to a celestial embodiment of evil or an equivalent of Satan.

Answer 3

Antichrist is translated from the combination of two ancient Greek words αντί+χριστος (antí+khristos), which can mean anti "opposite" (of) 'khristos' "messiah" therefore"opposite of Christ". Anti can also mean "for or as". Thus "in place of Christ" is also a valid understanding of the term. An antichrist can be opposed to Christ by thinking to be in the place of Christ.

The term itself appears 5 times in 1 John and 2 John of the New Testament--once in plural form and 4 times in the singular and is popularly associated with the belief of a competing and assumed evil entity of Jesus of Nazareth

Answer 4

There is more than one use of the term. 'The' Antichrist ( I'm not using 'The' as a snub, I am using it as a definite article to make a significant term away from the term, an antichrist, or spirit of antichrist), is someone who was prophecied about that will come into power in the Middle East. He will be a person in the Middle East that changes things around there. He will enter the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem in his final days and God is going to deal with him then.

He appears in the Bible starting in Daniel 11:21 and another time in Revelation 6:2.

Answer 5

It's all ancient history.

Jesus promised to return during the life times of those to whom he preached. He returned and lost the battle with the anti-christ.

Peter was the anti-christ. He organized the church and drove out the loving spirituality of Jesus in favor of a dogmatic hierarchy focused on myth.

Answer 6

The apostle John used the term in two different ways. The first in his epistle is just referring to anyone who's acting like they're the annointed one of God, but they lead people astray from the truth. In this sense there can be many antichrists. The second in Revelation is a particular individual in the end times closely linked to Satan. In the absence of the presence of the Holy Spirit on the earth, this Antichrist will rule and deceive people for seven years.

P.S. Please don't get your religious facts from Wikipedia!

Answer 7

this is Satan's main man, who will come to the Earth performing miracles and doing things against the Will of God, but because the people don't know Christ, they will think the Anti Christ is just a marvelous being. They will get sucked into his demise. Then Satan will rob you of your soul through this person, doing things taht is against the Word of God. That's why it's so important that you know Christ now,a nd that the Spirit of God gets down in you and you know Him, because this guy is so suave, that a lot of christians will be fooled. This is what the Word of God says. That's why we need God and need to know Him.

Answer 8

The anti-christ is a person, or entity that is the complete and utter embodiment of evil. He shall bring upon a world of darkness, as prophecized by the Revelation previous to the second coming.

Answer 9

it is the number of the beast 666 which was in one of the books of the new testament (book of jhon I think).

However, it is believed that the writer was actually referring to emporer Nero as the "beast" which would fit in line with 1: they way his name through translation adds up to 666 and 2: his construction of the Domus Aurea and blaming christians for the fire of rome.

nero was not popular among the christians so it is easy to see how they would villify him in this manner.

people want to apply this "anti-christ" thing to modern world when in reality many such "predictions" were actually made as political commentary of the time that had to be disguised as fortunetelling or soothsaying predictions about the future so as to not piss off the current emporer/king who would have the offender killed.

Answer 10

According to the Bible, it is anyone or anything which goes against Christ and what he taught. There is not just one person who qualifies as some would have you believe.
