Antichrist
Antichrist, or anti-Christ a man prophesied to oppose Christ before the Second Coming
found five times in the New Testament in 1 John and 2 John
The similar term pseudokhristos or "false Christ" is found in the Gospels
Jesus alerts his disciples not to be deceived by the false prophets,
who will claim themselves as being Christ
Two other images often associated with the Antichrist are the
little horn in Daniel's final vision
man of sin 2 Thessalonians
beast <ref>
a falling away
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
- . . . mystery of iniquity doth already work:
- only he who now letteth will let,
- until he be taken out of the way.
- 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed,
- whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth,
vacuum of Christian influence
the man of sin, having received power from Satan himself,
is going fill this spiritual void by bringing his work of iniquity
(which has been going on for thousands of years) into full operation.”
2 Thessalonians 2.3
