WHO IS ANTICHRIST?

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.  They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.  But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.  Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.  Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.  Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. (1 John 2:18-24).

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.  (1 John 4:1-3).

For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.  (2 John 1:7). 

These are the only scriptures in the Bible that use the word antichrist.  The name is used 4 times.   At no place do any of these scriptures talk of a man who is the antichrist meaning “The AntiChrist”.  In fact, John writes that there are MANY antichrists and apparently they were originally considered to be in the number with the disciples for they went out from them.  In other words, they appeared to be believers, maybe they were Judaizers, or maybe they were carnal Christians, or natural man (tares) sown amongst the brethren.  They were made manifest or revealed to be of the antichrist spirit for they did not continue with the disciples.  They had their own agenda, their own religion, their own set of doctrines, their own liturgies, their own programs, and perhaps their own church system.  Nevertheless, they followed not after Christ and had no personal relationship with him.  They were much like Nimrod and his followers in that day, a group of religious people who wanted to build their own system of religion so that they could overthrow God.  So, who or what is an antichrist.  Firstly, the word means “against Christ” or opposite of who and what Jesus is.  John uses some clarifying words to expose the antichrist. 

1.  An antichrist denies that Jesus is the Christ

2. An antichrist denies the Father and the Son.

3. An  antichrist does not follow Christ.

4. An antichrist confesses not that Jesus has come in the flesh.

5. An antichrist is a deceiver.

6. An antichrist is at hand.

7. An antichrist is already in the world.

8. An antichrist is a spirit in many men, not a man.

None of the above scriptures uses the word “The AntiChrist”.  The words used are “many antichrists”,  “He is antichrist (those that deny he is the Christ),   that spirit of antichrist (antichrist is a spirit not a man),  This is a deceiver and an antichrist(one who denies Christ is come in the flesh). The word antichrist refers to people and quite frankly a lot of them.  Nothing in these scriptures can be used to describe the man called THE ANTICHRIST as so many purport.  From carnal religious minds, they have concocted a world ruler who is greater in power than God.  He has the power and authority over every believer in the earth.  He wields this power to exact obeisance to him and cause all men to bow and submit to his authority and receive his mark in their hands or foreheads.  Hogwash!  A carnal and natural mind can never understand or interpret the word of God for it is hidden from him.  Only the spiritual can understand the things of the spirit.  So how about the scripture that talks about the man of sin or the son of perdition?  Ok!  What about it?

 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,  That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed , the son of perdition;  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.  Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: lying wonders,  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.  (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12).

Sin entered the earth when Adam first sinned.  Adam is the man of sin.  He is the son of perdition.  We have all been born with a sinful nature after Adam.  When Paul talks of the “man of sin“ or the “son of perdition”, he is simply talking of the sinful Adamic nature of man that must die so that the Sons of God may come forth in us.  When Paul talks of them that might be saved, he is not talking about one man called the antichrist, he is talking about mankind.  This is that “man of sin” and the “son of perdition“. Can you see it now?  

Jesus warns us, “Remember, I have told you ahead of time” (Matthew 24:25). And Paul cautions us, “Let no one in any way deceive you, for that day will not arrive until the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition” (2 Thessalonians 2:3).   We have actually established that the son of perdition is the corporate Adamic man.  Some authors in making this translation put the word [Antichrist] after the words “man of lawlessness”. They presume on the scriptures to make it read like they want.  Adam and Eve were the first sinners, the first who entered into lawlessness, the first of his beautiful human creation to defy God and break fellowship.  The sin nature was passed down to their children, hence Cain killed Abel.  From that time to this present date, men have rebelled against every government, lawlessness prevails in every nation, and the man of sin, the son of perdition, the man of lawlessness has raised his ugly head, and his name is Adam.  How soon shall that wicked man be revealed whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. (2 Thessalonians 2:8).  In verse 10, it is clear he is not talking about angels or demons or Satan or the so called antichrist, for he says “And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;  because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”  Which one of God’s angels can be saved?  Can Satan?  Can the great red dragon?  Or can Michael, a good angel?  The answer is none of them.  They desire to look into this great salvation, this kingdom of God in which we enter, but they have all been denied that privilege reserved only for man himself.  Christ died for the sins of man, not the rebellion of angels.  So how does the Lord destroy the man of sin or the son of perdition?  By the brightness of his coming and with the spirit of his mouth.  It is the word of God preached to the unregenerate soul that slays the Adamic man sold under sin and slavery to the flesh, that upon hearing the good news of the Gospel, Adam dies, and the new man is born inside of all God’s people.  I can’t help praising his Name!

We have made way too much of this so called antichrist who is supposed to come out of Spain, other places in Europe, the USA, Israel, Syria, and nations in the middle east.  Men who were purported to be the antichrist were Caligula, Dominitian, Nero, Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pol Pot, Caesar, Richard Nixon, the King of Spain, Henry Kissinger, Ronald Reagan, and many of the Popes just to name a few.  On and on and on ad nauseum, men have concocted a single individual who is supposed to be a world ruler.  Over 2000 years, there have been hundreds of them, yea, even thousands and they have all come to naught.  Yet, men continue to speculate who that man of sin is supposed to be to this date.  Many theories have been posited, they have assigned him the number 666, and the next one must be the one.   Carnal Christians and natural men have no understanding into spiritual things.  They take the Bible, especially the book of Revelation literally and have the most preposterous characters and outcomes none of which are real, for you see, that book is one that can only be understood by the spirit; it is an analogy filled with mysticism, metaphors, and symbolism.  None of these futurists pundits have brought forth the man who is the anitichrist, but multitudes who are opposed to Christ lived and came out of every nation in the earth.  Over the last 2000 years, multitudes have been given the title of THE ANTICHRIST, but none have been a world ruler.  None have given the saints a mark that you might not buy or sell unless you had that mark.   All of the stories are fairy tales come to nought.  Yet for all that, still carnal minds invent this so called world ruler who is to oppress the saints and wage war with God.  You don’t need to figure out his number because there is not one.  The letters in your name may add up to the numbers 666, but it doesn’t make you the antichrist.  The book of Revelation is an allegorical book and was never intended to be taken literally.  It is written by the Spirit to reveal Jesus the Christ, the seven churches and the manifest Sons of God.  It is not a blow by blow account of events in the future world as some have written about the great world war, Armageddeon, the seven years of tribulation, the beast, the false prophet, the martyrdom of believers, the rise of 144,000 virgin Jews, the four horsemen of the so called apocalypse, and the ultimate rise of the “AntiChrist” who takes dominion of the world.  Away with the fairy tales and those who preach fear and myths of terrorism leaving the saints in a state of chaos and ready to exit on the first train out of planet earth.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  (Genesis 1:26).  And God saw every thing that he had made , and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.  (Genesis 1:31).

Just as we know man was created on the 6th day, we know this number is attributed to the number of man particularly Adam who was first created on the 6th day.  The number 6 is one shy of 7, which means perfection.  Perfection is attributed to God.  Man was created a little lower than the angels or a little less than perfection.   For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.  But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?   Thou madest him a little lower than the angels.  Man has always perverted the word of God.  He was made a god to rule in the earth, but he wanted God’s throne;  He was not satisfied to get the 10 commandments from Moses and worship God the Spirit, but he wanted a god of gold;  He was not satisfied to be a king as God’s servant, but he wanted to be king of all and be worshipped like God;  he was not satisfied to sit with Christ at the marriage supper of the lamb when he came into his kingdom, he wanted to sit at his right hand; He was not satisfied to be made a little lower than the angels for a season, he wanted to be God now.

Six  is indicated by its lack of perfection or imperfection.  Six is the number of unredeemed man in all his bestial glory.  Six is the number of Adam, the first man. Further, that imperfect man is represented by his triune being, spirit, soul, and body.  Most recognize the soul which is the mind, will, and emotions, and the flesh represented by its carnal desires.  But, Paul writes, “who has known the mind of the spirit except the spirit of man inside of him?”  In all we are, and all we can be, we are brought into this world due to the fall as an imperfect man.  In our mother’s womb, we were born into sin.   Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. (Psalms 51:5). From the early beginnings when we were conceived, we were created in our triune being as a vessel of sin, diametrically opposed to God and all he is. 

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.  (Romans 8:5-9).

The innate nature of man is a sinner for that is what he is born into.  He is not born into righteousness, therefore, everything that is righteous, he is opposed to.  If he is opposed to the righteousness of God, then he is opposed to God or being put another way, he is against God.  If Christ is the epitomy of everything that is holy, pure, righteous, good, moral, and perfect, and he is, then man is everything that he is not, or he is diametrically against Christ.  In other words, man is an antichrist. 

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.  (Romans 3:10-23). Man’s righteousness is as filthy rags.  Of course, we could describe the wickedness and erroneous ways of man, and more particularly the son of perdition or also the son of destruction for the scriptures are replete with God’s dealings with his many sins and transgressions.  Man has always tried to put on the devil what he himself has done.  “The devil made me do it,” is his mantra all the way back to the beginning of time.  Man has always been opposed to God and his holy laws, and engaged in building his own  kingdom and tabernacle and towers way back in Nimrod’s day.  Man wanted to be like God;  He wanted to be powerful as God;  He wanted to be in control like God; He wanted to be as wealthy as God; and he wanted to be revered as God.  Man sits on the throne of his own heart and is not willing to share it with anyone including God.  Man is antichrist. 

Concerning the fall of Babylon, the scripture says, How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!  How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:  I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north.  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;  I will be like the most High.  Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.  They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms. That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof;  that opened not the house of his prisoners?   (Isaiah 14:12-17). 

Many have used the forgoing scripture to prove the existence of Satan.  Of course, he is real, but this scripture is not about him at all.  In fact, it is about a man, the King of Babylon.  He was a powerful king and was compared to Lucifer, the son of the morning who was in fact Satan.  But, this comparison did not make him Lucifer.  It made him like him.  He, like men before him wanted to exalt his throne above God. He wanted preeminence over God.  In the end, he was cast down.  This is not the same picture that Jesus told of when he said he saw Satan fall as lightning.  This is a picture of a man that made the earth to tremble (ancient Babylon and surrounding nations and kingdoms) who bound up men and made prisoners of them.  He ruled with an iron fist.  Finally, in his demise, men saw him as just a man (not a fallen angel) who had no power at all.  He was an antichrist.

From the beginning of time, man has tried to build a name for himself from Nimrod who wanted to build a tower to heaven, to the Pharaohs who wanted to build pyramids to their false gods, to Nadab and Abihu who burned strange fire because they believed they were as spiritual as Moses, to the wicked kings of Israel who built and carved idols and phallic symbols to worship, to Nebuchadnezzar who built an image of gold that all of Babylon was to bow down to.  And so it goes today, every religious institution has its own credo, and you can’t get in, preach in, worship in, take communion in, or even enter unless you belong to that credo, and espouse their form of doctrine, or their laws and precepts, and their manner of liturgy.  It is the way of the Babylonian system.  Worship our image or you are not welcome.  Each one has their own system of  religious service, sing 3 songs, preach, pray, dismiss.  It is already preformatted.  There is no room for a move of God, nor do they really seek him.  Can you see that carnal man has already formed his own image of God in his mind?  The antichrist system is at work in our churches when those who are not subject to the law of God want to build a name for themselves.  There is no difference between them and Nimrod or Nadab and Abihu or Nebuchadnezzar as they too were religious.  In the middle east today, we see the Islamic people wanting to build their kingdom to Allah, but they are in control, not Allah.  The Jews want to build a temple to God but God has already shown he does not dwell in temples made with hands, and has destroyed all their efforts to this very day.  Nations who do not believe in God like Russia, China, North Korea, and others have their own idea who should be in control, THEM, or more correctly stated their own ego called the Humanist god.  It is all antichrist. 

In Daniel, there is a beast and an image that was to be worshipped?  Why the shining example is Nebuchadnezzar and his image of gold, silver, iron, and clay.   Nebuchadnezzar was a king of kings whom the God of heaven had given a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory as said Daniel.  The king had a dream about an image, and after the dream interpretation by Daniel, the king made an image of gold whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth six cubits.  That in English is the number 66.  Can you see the imagery here?  In the garden, the number of man was 6. Now Nebuchadnezzar’s image is 66. 

And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants. Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold. Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.  So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. (1 Kings 10:13-23).

This passage of scripture is the only other one besides the account in Revelation 13 that uses the number 666.  Solomon had 666 talents of gold.  He was recognized for his great wealth and wisdom as the perfect man.  But, we know that Solomon had weaknesses.  He multiplied to himself horses, gold and silver, and unregenerate Babylonian-ish idolatrous women from every nation, 1000 wives and concubines in all.  And they turned his heart from God.  Solomon was known for his great wealth, but we have been admonished by the Lord to buy of him gold tried in the fire that we might be really rich just as he said to the church of the Laodiceans.  Our idols we build today were well noted by Christ when he said, “You cannot serve God and Mammon”.  For no servant can serve two masters.  For either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.  (Luke 16:13).  Can you see the magnitude of the idols building in men’s hearts? 

By the time we get to the book of Revelation, the number of the beast and his image that was to be worshipped was 666.  Can you see the progression?  From 6 to 66 to 666, we see the image of man getting larger, and larger and larger.  It is the same imagery of the serpent in Genesis that deceived Adam, that became a lion in  Peter,  then became a great red dragon in Revelation and finally Satan himself.  With each passing age, we see something that was small become large.  Symbolically, the image of Nebuchadnezzar has come back to life.   Now the book of Revelation is all mystical, imagery, allegories, metaphors, and symbols.  The beast, the dragon,  and his image which was like a lion, a bear, and a leopard was exactly the same three beasts in Daniel chapter 7.  The picture noted here is that this  creature is a fierce beast.  The more the dragon is worshipped, the more he is idolized and the bigger he becomes in our minds.  Why he is a great adversary!  He is so big that no one can make war with him.  Our carnal minds have made him bigger than life.  Now the beast has power over all the nations of the world to make war with them, because the whole earth knows of his great power and lying wonders.  In the nations that I have traveled, I find the number 666 scrawled on walls, buildings, train cars, and billboards indicating the great beast has conquered the masses. But, it was not a man called The AntiChrist who wrote on these walls, it was simple peasant folk who were hoodwinked by the religious leaders of their tribe or village.  This so called antichrist has power to blaspheme God, and to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.  The saints are in a great battle.  He captures and kills with impunity, and it seems no one can stop him.  But, there is a mountain that Daniel talks about.  It is a stone mountain that is carved out of the mountains without hands that will fall on the image of the beast and destroy him.  It is God’s holy mountain, spiritual Zion.  Here, we as priests of God ascend to bring our sacrifices of righteousness and praise.  Here is were the battle is won.  We begin to magnify God more than the image of some man or some beast that has no power.  Here we see the Christ, our rock has subdued the Babylonian kingdom, and that he, Christ was manifested to destroy the works of the devil.  (1 John 3:8).  The number of that beast is 666, and it is the number of a man.  It is the same man in the garden of Eden with number 6 that has vaunted himself in Nebudchanezzar’s day to 66 and finally in Revelation to 666.  There is no mistaking who it is.  It is mankind who has vaunted himself above God and refused to bow down to the Lord of heaven.  We know that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.  There are multitudes in this day that have not bowed their knee to  Christ, but have set up their own kingdom in their own minds.  This antichrist is not a particular man, but rather many men throughout the earth who with the imagery of Nimrod wants to raise up a kingdom so his name will not be forgotten in the earth.  This is quite unlike John the Baptist who said, “He must increase, but I must decrease.”  Unfortunately, those in the world religious system build their cathedrals, vaunt their religion, speak of their programs, preach and prophesy as if they heard from God, but it is all vain religion.  Oh, it is big in their eyes and their mind.  The beast has set up his kingdom in the hearts of men to sit on the throne of God in what should be God’s tabernacle in man‘s heart, and tried to take his place in the heavens.  But, his efforts are vain as those of this world system, this Babylonian religion are bowing their knee to Christ, and dethroning the beast, man himself. 

Those that belong to Christ are sealed with a mark as well as those that belong to the devil.  A mark by definition is a stamp, an imprinted mark, of the mark stamped on the forehead or the right hand as the badge of the followers of the Antichrist, the mark branded upon horses, thing carved, sculpture, graven work, of idolatrous images.  You see, they are marked and sealed in their hand and in their forehead.  Like the Hebrew children in captivity in Egypt under Pharaoh, God came to deliver them.  What he did was set a seal or mark upon each doorpost and lintel.  It was the forerunner of the cross of Christ.  When the death angel came and saw the blood, he passed over.  Where he didn’t see the mark, he entered and took the first born sons of the Egyptians.  We are sealed today by the precious blood of Christ.  Here is wisdom. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God;  that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.  (1 John 5:13).  How do I know this?  I know in my heart and in my mind, for I now have the wisdom of God.  He has sealed my heart and my forehead.  "To him that overcomes ... will I give a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows saving he that receives it" (Revelation 2:17). "Him That overcomes... I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the City of my God... and I will write upon him My new name" (Revelation 3:12). "And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with Him an hundred forty and four thousand, having His Father's name written in their foreheads" (Revelation 14:1). I also know that he has given me authority in the earth, for I cast out devils.  He has given me authority at his right hand, and sealed my right hand with his authority.  Oh, there are those that still walk as an earthly carnal man still worshipping himself who are marked in their forehead and in their hand. This is the unregenerate man.  You can’t see this mark or seal for it is a spiritual thing.  Many believe they will receive a chip in their hand or forehead. Many stories have been written about this so called chip, and how folks would become the devil’s servants if they took this mark in their hand or forehead.  This propaganda to scare folks into believing in a one world ruler called the antichrist has permeated the earth.  Those who fabricate this bit of deception have made millions with their fairy tales. Their only purpose for spreading these lies is to make money off the unsuspecting souls who hear it.  The world lives in fear.  They preach a message of fear thinking that many will repent and be saved.  It is ludicrous to believe such a thing. This is further from the truth of the real gospel as the north is from the south.  Paul wrote in a sentence how the gospel should be preached.  And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!  (Romans 10:15).   There are nearly eight billion people in the world, and there has not been the computer made that can individually track much less mark each and every one.  We do not even have a computer system in this nation that can mark and identify three hundred million people for health care.  The best after three years of all our technology has to offer is maybe 8 million who willing signed up after much anquish and many hours in front of a computer.  The unbelievers of this world have yet to be born  again, and be sealed with God’s seal.  They are the children of the wicked one.  But, the book of Revelation is not about a man of sin or the son of perdition or the beast or the antichrist or dragon or the false prophet.  No, the book of Revelation is the unveiling of the perfect God-Man, Christ Jesus. 

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. (1 John 4:1-3).

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.  (1 John 2:18-21).

Simply put, what do these scriptures teach us about antichrist?  Number one, they teach us that antichrist denies that Jesus is come in the flesh.  Folks are still waiting on him.  And, he has already come and abides in his flesh, the Sons of God, his body, the church.  Number two, they teach us that antichrist is a spirit and this spirit abides in many men, not one man, of course meaning mankind.  Thirdly, the antichrist spirit denies the father and the son.  Multitudes, in various religions may believe in the son, but they don’t believe he is also the father or that he is God incarnate.  Fourthly, those with an antichrist spirit came out from the church and did not continue with the faithful believers.  This is the antichrist spirit.  It is not one man of sin, but a man of sin, who has the corporate Adamic nature, the carnal man, the religious man void of the spirit of God, and the unbeliever.  As much as men have written about the man of sin, the son of perdition, the beast, and the antichrist, it could only be found in one place in the scriptures, and it wasn’t talking about the man called the AntiChrist who is to rule the earth in a one world government.  It is talking about Adam, and all who are made in the image of Adam known as mankind who oppose and set themselves against the Son of God in the earth.  It is a spirit that dwells in multitudes.  Christ was the last Adam who was made a quickening spirit, and the second man who is the Lord from heaven.  He has come to regenerate mankind and set him free from an antichrist spirit to become like unto the Son of God. Why Christ has come, and in his glorious kingdom, he has been anointed to preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.  Our savior, our redeemer, our deliverer has loosed those who know from the terrible fear and bondage of the spirit of antichrist.  Jesus is the perfect antithesis to the antichrist. He is the real Son of God.   For it is written of him, The Kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ.  Until Christ was formed in you and me, we opposed the Son of God.  Let us now hold fast to the faith, steady ourselves on the course, and take dominion in the Earth as Sons of God through love and faith and good works that those who see us and the confidence we have toward our savior, Jesus Christ might believe and inherit his righteousness and holiness.   GLORY TO HIS NAME FOREVER!
