Spirit of the antichrist

 


1 John 2:18

King James Version

18 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.


Who is the antichrist?

What is he?

What is the spirit of the antichrist?

Scripture reveals him in these verses:

1 John 2:22

King James Version

22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ

He is antichrist, 

that denieth the Father and the Son.


1 John 4:3

King James Version

3 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.


2 John 7

King James Version

7 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.


Daniel 7:25

King James Version

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.


Daniel 11:21

King James Version

21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person

to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: 

but he shall come in peaceably, 

and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.


2 Thessalonians 2:4

King James Version

4 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.


Revelation 13:5

King James Version

5 And there was given unto him a mouth 

speaking great things and blasphemies; 

and power was given unto him 

to continue forty and two months.


Daniel 11:36

King James Version

36 And the king shall do according to his will; 

and he shall exalt himself, 

and magnify himself above every god, 

and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, 

and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished

for that that is determined shall be done.


But worry not.

His time is limited.

He is given authority, according to God's plan.

As such, his end is also determined by God.

2 Thessalonians 2:8

King James Version

8 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:


In summary, here are the antichrist's revealing traits, and future:

1. He denies Jesus is the Christ.

2. He denies the Father and the Son.

3. He doesn't confess Jesus came in the flesh.

4. He will speak great words against the most High.

5. He will wear out the saints of the most High.

6. He will change times and laws.

7. He is a vile person.

8. He will come in the guise of peace.

9. He will obtain the kingdom through flattery.

10. He will oppose and exalt above everything that is God.

11. He will sit in the temple of God, as if he was God.

12. He will show himself that he is God.

13. He will be given a mouth to speak of great things and blasphemies.

14. He will be given power to continue 42 months.

15. He shall exalt, and magnify himself, over every god.

16. He will speak marvelous things against the God of gods.

17. He shall prosper for a time.

18. He will be revealed by the Holy Spirit of God.

19. He shall be consumed by the spirit of God.

20. He will be destroyed by the brightness of the Lord's coming.


Be awake.

Be aware.

Be warned.

Remain closest to JESUS.
