Question? Do we know who the antichrist is?
Answer:
The short answer is NO, but the Bible DOES reveal what he is.
A Description of the Anti-Christ:
– He will BRAINWASH the minds of people.
– He will CHANGE Times and Laws.
(Daniel 7:25) And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
The words WEAR OUT come from the Hebrew word BELA and it means to WEAR OUT IN THE MENTAL SENSE
– He will MAKE YOU obey or be killed.
(Revelation 20:4) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
– He SPEAKS great things AGAINST God.
(Daniel 7:8) I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
– He will be a PEACEMAKER.
(Daniel 11:21) And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
– He will be a GENIUS Intellectually.
(Daniel 8:23) And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
– He will be a MIRACLE WORKER.
(2 Thessalonians 2:9) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.
– He is a MURDERER and a LIAR.
(John 8:44) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it.
– He will be a JEW.
(John 5:43) I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
The word ANOTHER is the Greek word ALLOS and it means ANOTHER OF THE SAME KIND.
– He WILL NOT be married.
– He is ANTI-GOD.
(Daniel 11:37) Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
The Anti-Christ WILL BE a Single Unmarried Jewish Man, he REMAINS single for he knows he has but a short time, and WILL BE devoted to his MODUS OPERANDI (method of operation) revealed in 2 Thessalonians 2:4
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
– He will be a MILITARY, RELIGIOUS, and a COMMERCIAL genius.
Military:
(Revelation 6:2) And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Religious:
(2 Thessalonians 2:4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Commercial:
(Revelation 13:17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The word SAVE in Rev 13:17 is the Greek word EIME and it means BUT EXCEPT.
In Conclusion:
We DO NOT KNOW the name of the ANTI – CHRIST, He HAS NOT yet been revealed.
There are some preachers that CLAIM the Anti – Christ will come from America, but this is FALSE fro two reasons:
1- America IS NOT mentioned NOWHERE in scripture
2- The Anti – Christ is a JEW and ONLY the Jews will ACCEPT one from their OWN KIND.
(John 5:43) I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
The word ANOTHER is the Greek word ALLOS and it means ANOTHER OF THE SAME KIND.
The MOST IMPORTANT thing to know IS Jesus Christ as savior, just simply believe that Jesus Christ went to the cross and DIED and shed his blood, was BURIED and three days later RESURRECTED from the dead to pay for your sins.
-Christ DIED for you – Romans 5:8
-Christ PAID your sins in full – 2 Corinthians 5:21,1 Peter 2:24
-BELIEVE (Trust In Completely) in Christ ALONE as the complete payment of sin for salvation – John 3:16, Acts 16:31, Ephesians 2:8,9
“For the wages(payment) of sin is death (eternal torment in hell), but the GIFT(salvation) of God is eternal life THROUGH Jesus Christ our Lord”. Romans 6:23
IT IS THAT SIMPLE – THE GOSPEL TRUTH
