This is a question that normally comes up when discussing ideas about “the end of the world”, often times accusing various celebrities/politicians as “THE ANTICHRIST” and whipping themselves into a fanatic fervor. One question I have to ask is WHAT is said about the “Antichrist”. WHERE is this “Anti-Christos” mentioned, and how is he/she are described.
1 John 2:22
“Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.”
1 John 4:3
“and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.”
1 John 2:18
“Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.”
2 John 1:7
“For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.”
Notice the wording in the scriptures (specifically John 2:18), “antichristS”, with an ‘S’. It speaks of multiple deceivers, multiple antichrists, multiple people who act and speak against Christ and his word. It doesn’t describe a single figure as being the opposite as Christ, since christ is our eternal emperor. For he is the king of all kings and the master above all masters. Antichrist is described in singular as “The spirit of the antichrist”, which is not a person but a force of deception and trickery that has already exploited and tricked the world. You may respond “But isn’t the antichrist described in the book of revelations? An ultimate evil that will be vanquished by Christ?”
My response to that would be to bring me a single line in the Revelations of Christ given to john that says the word “Antichrist”, Many words are used such as “Beast” or “Dragon”, but never “antichrist”. Is this “Antichrist” was a singular mortal man than it would be easy to destroy him. Either by an army of thousands underneath the command of a christian king/ruler, or simply waiting a few hundred years for him to die of old age.
The idea that there will be an “Antichrist”, a satanic figure equal and opposite to our lord Christ (our Christ who was, is, and soon will be returning) is nothing more than a luciferian dualistic fantasy. It is wishful thinking on the part of satanist who want the deceiver, the father of lies, the accursed accuser, to be equal (or in their despicable opinion, ‘greater’) than the eternal God who created our universe and every soul inside of it.
It is Idolatry, and Blasphemy to suggest God, The Holy Spirit, or Christ has any form of equal.
The only time an Antichrist-like figure is spoken of in the scriptures is as “The lawless one” and “the son of destruction”, a mortal and human figure who just like the beast and the dragon will be slain by our Lord.
