Antichrist is a commander who has battalions of soldiers called the antichrists. The Antichrist is planning a coup to overthrow the salvation of Jesus Christ in the life of the Christians.
There is a lot of news flying on the media as regards the identity of Antichrist. Some said it is Pope Francis, while some versions said President Obama is the Antichrist. Hmm! The next breaking news on Antichrist might be one of my uncles in the Government…
Do not be confused by the ‘super’ mathematicians who are too curious to interpret the prophetic messages of Antichrist in the Bible.
Let’s take the subject of antichrist from its simpler terms. Antichrist is an organization controlled by Satan, and the major ambition of the antichrist is to deceive people.
The primary aim of the Antichrist is to present himself as a better messiah. The antichrist is discouraging the Christians and the world from practicing holiness.
Antichrist and antichrists
There are two categories of people involved in the satanic organization I called antichrist. The first alphabet (A) is used as the distinguishing element.
First John chapter 2 verses 18 says: “Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.”
a) Antichrist is the devil incarnate that would become the world leader.This Antichrist will control the economy and governance of the world. The book of Revelation chapter 13 verses 7 and 8 explained the action of Antichrist: “It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
b) The antichrists are the people preparing the way for the Antichrist, just like the way John the Baptist prepared the way for the arrival of Jesus Christ. Second John chapter 1 verse 7 says: “For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”
Presently, the Antichrist has not come, but the antichrists are fully in operation.
Seven Works of the antichrist in the Christendom
The antichrists are not ghost but they are brilliant and wise people controlled by evil spirit. Antichrist (as an evil organization) has its best performance in the aspect of deceit.
Let’s read the remark of Jesus to the Pharisees who were the first set of antichrist in the book of John chapter 8 verses 44: “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.”
1. The antichrist intensified their efforts when the soldiers watching the tomb of Jesus were bribed, and compelled to spread the lies that Jesus’ corpse was stolen. The book of Mathew chapter 28 verse 12 to 15 says: “When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, saying, “Tell them, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.’ So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.”
The deceitful works of the antichrist made majority of the Jews to lose faith in Jesus Christ.
2. Another successful work of the antichrist is the misconception of the scriptures in the church. One of the deceits established by the antichrist is that God does not care about what you do with your body. (Misconception of Romans 8:10 is one of their quotes).
The antichrist (who claimed to be Pastors) in most churches had been able to deceive a lot of Christians to do whatever they like to their body. The antichrist gives false teaching to the Christians that God is only interested in their spiritual life.
But the antichrist preachers will not quote places like first Corinthians chapter 6 verse 19 and 20: “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
You can hardly distinguish some Christian women going to the church from worldly women going to the disco party. Antichrist had successfully established provocative dressing styles, tattoo, cosmetics and various forms of worldly fashions to the midst of the Christians.
3. The antichrist penetrated the Christendom by attending the various school of theology and became Overseers/Pastors of many churches.
4. The antichrist does not preach messages that would change the heart of sinners to genuine repentance. And the true Word of God cannot be found on their pulpit.
5. The antichrist deceived a lot of Christians that the fastest way for prayers to be answered by God is through speaking in tongues. I was shocked when I discovered that most of the theology school has a course study called; speaking-in-tongues. The student-pastors were thought how to speak in tongues? Abomination!
The antichrist had used the false teaching of speaking in tongues to cause serious disorderliness in most churches. Church members not led by the Spirit of God were forced to open their mouths to say rubbish. Speaking in tongues is not what your Pastor will instruct you to do, it is a divine gift controlled by God.
Read first Corinthians chapter 14 for more details… “If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.” (Verse 27 & 28)
Anyone that asks you to do anything contrary to this instruction is an antichrist.
6. The antichrist knows that a typical human being does not want to be guided by the law. So, they pretend to be a loving Pastor who knows how best to interpret the Bible. The antichrist discourages the Christian not to subject themselves to any rules in the Bible.
The antichrist will preach to you to accept Jesus as your savior, and he tells you to live your life anyhow you want it. This had been a spiritual trap that had made a lot of Christians to be lukewarm. Do not be ignorant of God’s judgment to the lukewarm. Revelation chapter 3 verse 16 says: “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.”
When Paul said we are no more under the law, he never preached to us to live a careless and unguided life. He told us we are no longer under the law of sacrifices practiced in the Old Testament, because Jesus had accomplished such on the cross. Romans chapter 7 verse 7 says: “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
Don’t be deceived by the antichrist, the rules giving to us by Jesus Christ in the New Testament must be obeyed.
7. The antichrist ruling the Catholic Church dropped the second commandment of God in their catechism to allow idolatry. You can’t worship two masters.
It is not safe to worship God, and bow for the statue of Mary or whatever name given to an idol or image. Revelation chapter 21 verses 8 says: “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death”.
The secret of the antichrist is to make sure that everyone is judged, and cast to lake of fire. If anyone discourages you from obeying all the instructions in the New Testament, then such person is an antichrist.
God is not wicked. But He has set a rule of holiness for us to obey; anyone that disobeys is not fit to inherit heaven. If we are careful to obey the constitution of the land to avoid imprisonment, then why do we put up a debate on obeying the instructions of Jesus?
Technology is good, but the antichrist is using it to steal the precious time of the Christians so that lesser time will be available for personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Be careful with the time you spent on your social media.
Antichrist and Satan want every human being to join them to their eternal destination (lake of fire). So, they want to make sure that sin abound in our midst. If we allow sin to control our lives, then God will have no choice than to send all sinners to lake of fire.
The grace of God for you is not a license to live a careless life (Romans 6:1&2). You can always escape the deceits of the antichrist if you read, and obey the Bible with a humble heart.
I appreciate your contribution. God Bless you.
The antichrists (many: 1 John 2ch.) do not submit to the authority of the holy name of Jesus Christ. From personal experience, I am able to say that the antichrists use ‘bribery and blackmail, deceit and lies even under oath’ so as to steal, kill and destroy. Do not become hard-hearted based on what the antichrists ‘tell’ you about unsuspecting persons; ask: ‘who, what, when, where, why, who told you that, are you able to put that in writing, and how’ and if defamatory tell the ‘targeted person’; if it is criminal gossip, tell the authorities in writing so that a proper investigation will be done and the innocent will be vindicated from such malicious ‘scandalmongering’ which is of the antichrists.
May every person who calls themselves a Christian now pray specifically against every tactic of the antichrists.
I agree with you Jeremy.Anti-Christ is a team with a leader called Satan.
The five uses of the term “antichrist” or “antichrists” in the Epistles of John do not clearly present a single latter-day individual Antichrist. The articles “the deceiver” or “the antichrist” are usually seen as marking out a certain category of persons, rather than an individual.
