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:
