When do you think the anti-Christ will come...?

Question

Christians, do we see the anti-Christ, or will we already have been taken to meet Jesus? Can't find the scripture!

Answer 1

You might as well be asking what time do I think THE SANTY CLAUS will show up.

Answer 2

Read it again, there are two raptures. As for the anti-christ, we have yet to see the Gog-Maygog invasion. When Turkey gives up trying to be a member of the EU, and joins the Alliance between Russia and the other Arab nations, then the Gog-Maygog army will consist of exactly those listed in scripture. The invasion will be stopped before they take the city, though there will have been a nuclear exchange which will devistate Seria, Russia and possibly the USA, UK & Australia (those dwelling carelessly in the coastlands/ Isles).

After this the anti-christ will rise to power, and rebuild much of the middle east. There will be peace for at least 3 and a half years, perhaps as long as seven. But after the three and a half, the Jews will be oppressed again, along with many of the church. If you are anywhere and not opressed at this time, you need to re-evaluate your relationship with Yahuwah.

Now wouldn't it be great to have it laid out simply in a verse or two? Sorry, you will need to read almost all of the prophets (including the book of revelation) to really geta grip on this.

P.S.
As stated by an earlier answerer, yes the Messiah will return with the same name and the same faith. The trouble is that most people will be expecting a guy named Jesus who will be a Christian. But this is not who scriptures speak of. The son of Yahuwah (YHWH) was never named "Jesus". In Hebrew, "ha soos" means 'the horse'. In Greek "Iesus", means 'hail Zeus', and in Latin "IE Sus" means 'He is a pig'.

The name of the Messiah was is and shall always be "Yahushua" which means "Yahuwah saves".

And BTW, Yahushua was not a Christian, he was a Jew, or what he would have called "Yahudim". And he was what was later called "Natsarim", the 'sect of the Nazarenes', of whom Paul was later said to have been the ring-leader.

The anti-Christ will perform many miracles, but when Yahushua returns, he will litteraly decend from the clouds onto the mount of olives, just to the east side of Jerusalem. And the mountain will split in two. This miracle the anti-christ will not do, so you should spot the phoney easily if you look out for this sign.

Yahushua Shalom

Answer 3

These are the 4 verses that mention the Anti-Christ:

Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. (1 John 2:18 NIV)

This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. (1 John 4:2-3 NIV)

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. (1 John 2:22 NIV)

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. (2 John 7 NIV)

(Other verses in revelations speak of the ' beast' which may or may not be the anti-christ)

Be aware when dicussing the Anti-Christ : Only Paul / Saul mentions the Anti-Christ. 'Christ' is a title meaning the Anointed one and Jesus is a name. The ' Anti-Anointed one ' , does not really make any sense to me .

In conclusion: The scriptures indicate to me that there are several billion anti-christs ( ie anyone who denies Jesus is the Christ ) And it is highly likely you have already met a few hundred of them .

Answer 4

It does not actually say in the Bible whether the anti-christ comes before or after the rapture, because it does not say whether the tribulation happens before or after we get taken up.

Personally, I'm not sure. The options are that the rapture will happen before, during, or after the tribulation and when the anti-christ is here.

Christian books on the rapture etc. often make guesses as to the order of these events, like the Left Behind series by Tim Lahaye and Jerry B Jenkins. The real order is unknown and not in the Bible.

Hope this was useful!

Answer 5

For me, there is nothing like the anti-christ and there is nothing like the second coming of Jesus. It is all one of the tall stories in the scriptures.

Answer 6

The book of Revelation is the Prophecy for the Tribulation dispensation.
That means that Jesus will arrive in the air with a shout, with the Arch Angel and the dead in Christ will rise and we who are alive and remain will go to be with the Lord forever.

The Anti-Christ, the Beast Dictator and Satan will conspire in the Tribulation.
The Beast Dictator will be the King of the revived Roman Empire.
The Anti-Christ ( or instead of Christ) will be the Dictator of Israel.
He will be a Jew against Jews. Israel will prosper.

We are in the dispensation of the Church. Historical trends prevail now.
After the Rapture, prophecy will apply. Revelation is a book of importance for future Tribulational Saints (unbelievers now).
Maybe some of you mockers will be the great future saints foretold in Revelation. :)

Answer 7

As Encourager mentioned, there is more than one anti-Christ. They existed in John's day and certainly they exist now. But the Bible does not point to any one individual as THE antichrist. 2 John 7 and 1 John 2:18

Answer 8

There is debate on whether we will see the Anti-Christ depicted in Revelation. It does however say that those with wisdom and see the signs will be able to identify him. I have people that I am watching closely, but I can never be sure.

I feel the time is coming very soon...I wont say I know when, but things in the world are falling into place. Whether anyone believes me is up to them...My opinion

I do think that we will see him whenever he decides to show himself however

Answer 9

u must be a lost person looking for answers. its hard as the clergy doesnt know the truth. all are speculative. its best that you conduct your own investigation of the truth. search religions and see what is good and relevant. when one religion teaches that it is superior to another, stop reading about it. search another. all religion teaches good. so keep on searching till u get it. the internet is of some help. but depends on your exposure and your community - whether they are insular and inward looking. its tough as many claim the truth so u wont know who is telling the truth.
the answer that all will be muslims sounds so stupid! the imam mahdi will return in a new form and with a new name and a new religion. no messiah have written with the same name and faith. they follow on from the old one and continue with a new one. the old world order will roll up and the new world order rolls out. the process is simultaneous. so search and get the truth. i'm sure u will

Answer 10

Well, the anti-Christ may well already be here. We have unleashed the genie, that is, nuclear power, and sooner or later that power will cause the end of the world as we know it.

The anti-Christ will start a chain of events that no one will be able to stop.

The US, Pakistan, India, England, Israel, China and Russia have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the earth a thousand times over. Sooner or later someone, ( the anti-Christ ) will start it with one device. And all the countries will see that as a need to respond, no doubt.

Answer 11

The anti Christ is already here according to 1 John. John says the anti Christ is anyone who rejects Christ.Some people know this others do not. I do see many here quote these scriptures.
God Bless
