You want to know who is the Antichrist?

Question

ANTICHRIST
This word means “against (or instead of) Christ.” It occurs a total of five times, singular and plural, all of them in two of John’s epistles.
The subject was not new among the Christians when John wrote his letters (c. 98 C.E.). First John 2:18 states: “Young children, it is the last hour, and, just as you have heard that antichrist [Gr., an•ti'khri•stos] is coming, even now there have come to be many antichrists; from which fact we gain the knowledge that it is the last hour.” John’s statement shows that there are many individual antichrists, though all together they may form a composite person designated “the antichrist.” (2Jo 7) The use of the expression “hour” as referring to a period of time, either relatively brief or of undetermined length, is exemplified in other writings of John. (See Joh 2:4; 4:21-23; 5:25, 28; 7:30; 8:20; 12:23, 27.)

He thus did not restrict the appearance, existence, and activity of such antichrist to some future time only but showed that the antichrist was then present and would continue on.—1Jo 4:3.
Identification. Although there has been much effort in the past to identify “the antichrist” with an individual, such as Pompey, Nero, or Muhammad (this latter person being suggested by Pope Innocent III in 1213 C.E.), or with a specific organization, as in the Protestant view of “the antichrist” as applying to the papacy, John’s inspired statements show the term to be broad in its application, embracing all those who deny that “Jesus is the Christ,” and who deny that Jesus is the Son of God who came “in the flesh.”—1Jo 2:22; 4:2, 3; 2Jo 7, NE, NIV; compare Joh 8:42, 48, 49; 9:22.

Denial of Jesus as the Christ and as the Son of God of necessity embraces the denial of any or all of the Scriptural teachings concerning him: his origin, his place in God’s arrangement, his fulfillment of the prophecies in the Hebrew Scriptures as the promised Messiah, his ministry and teachings and prophecies, as well as any opposition to or efforts to replace him in his position as God’s appointed High Priest and King. This is evident from other texts, which, while not using the term “antichrist,” express essentially the same idea. Thus, Jesus stated: “He that is not on my side is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters.” (Lu 11:23) Second John 7 shows that such ones might act as deceivers, and hence the “antichrist” would include those who are “false Christs” and “false prophets,” as well as those who perform powerful works in Jesus’ name and yet are classed by him as “workers of lawlessness.”

In view of Jesus’ rule that what is done to his true followers is done to him (Mt 25:40, 45; Ac 9:5), the term must include those who persecute such ones, which means it would include the symbolic “Babylon the Great” and those described as the “evil slave” in Jesus’ parable.—Lu 21:12; Re 17:5, 6; Mt 24:48-51.
John specifically mentions apostates as among those of the antichrist by referring to those who “went out from us,” abandoning the Christian congregation. (1Jo 2:18, 19) It therefore includes “the man of lawlessness” or “son of destruction” described by Paul, as well as the “false teachers” Peter denounces for forming destructive sects and who “disown even the owner that bought them.”—2Th 2:3-5; 2Pe 2:1; Kingdoms, nations, and organizations are similarly shown to be part of the antichrist in the symbolic description at Revelation 17:8-15; 19:19-21

.—Compare Ps 2:1, 2.
In all the above cases those composing the antichrist are shown to be headed for eventual destruction as a recompense for their opposing course.

Answer 2

What the hell did he just say? It is Satan. The one referred to in 2nd Thessalonians ,quote " that abomination that causes desolation". please notice that it is written in the singular. Also quote, "and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and exalt himself and set himself up etc. Please notice all references to him are in the singular. the man is doomed. there is only one person that is already sentenced to die in the lake of fire and that is Satan. You will find this documented in the book of revelation It states he will be turned to ashes from within. He will have his helpers. But even as a whole his helpers couldn't be considered an antichrist. No, it is the old 666er himself.

Answer 3

Well for me its pretty simple any man thats gonna declare himself God and require we serve and worship him.Take a mark in our hand or forehead to show we will. Can go ahead and kill me cause he wont be the Lord Jesus. Not according to his word.

Answer 4

I guess I am, then. I actually view Jesus as a hero. He was an excellent man, but just a man. But no, I don't believe all that stuff about him being God.

Answer 5

Eric Cartman?

Answer 6

I didn't read your sermon. In answer to your question: No I do not want to know who the AntiChrist is. Unless he has a lot of money and wants to be my friend. Then yes, tell me more.

Answer 7

AW! and I thought you really knew who the anti Christ is or will be, but you are just rehashing old ideas about who people thought it was.

Answer 8

We need to realize that prophecy has never been understood until is is fulfilled.
The best thing to do is stay close to Jesus Christ and expect Him to come at any moment.

Answer 9

Now you seem to know who is the anti-Christ through those age Old writings; do you know who is anti-God?

Answer 10

Man, I thought you were going to name names.

That would be helpful, rather than a lecture
