Who do you think is the Anti-Christ?

The Anti-Christ is sly and keen and likable and nobody really knows. This is why the Anti-Christ will be able to fool so many people. I think Hilary Clinton would be a good example but Who knows?

According to the Bible we Christians believe that 666 is the number of the anti-Christ(the beast) that he will force people to wear as a mark on their hand and forhead in order to buy and sell.\n\nInterpretations of this mark are: a barcode, a tatoo, or a computerchip.\n\nMost plausible is the computerchip. Yesterday I saw something on the science channel. It was one of those GPS computerchips that they put into pets so that they won't get lost. But on the TV channel they put it into a human's hand between the index finger and the thumb. The chip can be used to store ID, other important information, and to track it's user via GPS. It can also be used to unlock doors by placing the back of the hand underneith a sensor below the doornob. This specific chip is not the anti-christ mark, but ones similar to this one will be.\n\nThe number of the anti-christ's name 666 will be inserted into all of the marks (computerchips). This will give him great power over peoples freedoms in the end times.\n\n If anyone recieves this mark by choice he is cursed to hell, according to the Bible.\n\n666 has nothing to do with a date or anything else. Many people that were due to have children on June 6, 2006 had an abortion because of their superstition and fear fueled by the stupid movie "The Omen". \n\nPeople are sick, just sick to let someone slauter their newborn because they think that he or she is evil. How immoral can a society get. \n\nJune 6, 2006 is the same thing as Y2K. They both delt with not writing the full year, and so mass panic to place. If they would have wrote the date as June 6, 2006 insted of 6-06-06, then mabye people wouldent be as paranoid. \n\nJust because June 6 is a bunch of horse hockey that doesn't mean that Christians with a right mind believe in it. \n\nHowever the anti-christ is alive and well today and he will one day rule the earth. He will rise up out of europe and become leader of the world. He will be beyond popular but he really is evil, the people will love him, but he is a deciever. \n\nIf you think this is imposible, look at the power of the European Union, one day they will elect a world leader. He will be the anti-christ. But in the end, Jesus christ Himself will distroy the anti-christ. by that time it will be too late to get right with God, that is why you have now to accept Jesus as your Savior, it's a choice, if you do not choose Christ, than you have rejected God and embraced satan and h-ll as your eternal home.\n\nIt is a choice that you must make, I am not forcing you to choose God, niether is God forcing you to choose Him. But it will all be on your own head if you don't. You will have no one else to blame. You will have chosen hell over salvation through Christ Jesus.\n\nGod is waiting for your answer with open arms, because He loves you.\n\n"That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."-Romans 10:9\n\nI am praying for you

Mabus is the 3rd Antichrist, predicted by Nostradamus. The other two are interpreted as Napoleon and Hitler. It is also believed that Mabus lived in a time where it is unknown who are the "good guys" and who are the "bad guys."

There ARE many.  Notice 1 John 2:18, "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."\n\nNote again it says there are many in the world.\n\nAlso, the article "the" is not in the original Greek language.  This translation is correct by not adding that word.  It is not "The Antichrist", but an attitude and anyone who possesses it.\n\nAn antichrist is anyone who is against Christ and his teaching, and anyone who will not confess him as Christ.  There are many, many antichrists in the world, and as long as the world lasts, there will be many more.\n\nThere are only 4 verses in the Bible that use the word "antichrist".  These are listed below.

Probably the AntiChrist.\n\nDisharmony is the source of the bestthingsin makind, as well as the worst. If we learn from our mistakes, we are better. If we don't, then no leader is going to save us.

Great question...these people who blame aren't rational Christians and their understanding of the relationship between God and man is far below what yours is...why?  Maybe they haven't read the Bible as many "Christians" haven't.  Maybe they are hateful...Jesus himself said that we need to question things those who claim to come in his name tell us...that there are "antiChrists" all over the place and I'm sure he wasn't talking about 666, Damion and a big horned red devil, he was talking about people who use his name to convince people to do what he never told us to do...he also said a lot of people will be surprised at their Judgement because they think they are doing what God wants but they are just doing their own thing...

well, hitler was an idiot.  a deeply disturbed hypocritical self-loathing idiot.  and a murderous jerk (i'd use a different term but after all this is the religion and spirituality section and i'm sure that kind of language is not tolerated here).  charismatic?  sure.  so was charles manson.  antichrist?  well, everything he did was essentially the opposite of what most believe christ would have done.  so um, sure, i guess you could call him that.  but i'm sure there will be more like him in the future, so i wouldnt be so hasty as to call him "the" antichrist.  that is, if there is a such thing as the rapture and the antichrist and all.

The Post Tribulation Rapture (catching away) is very much what the Bible teaches us. Jesus said AFTER those days of tribulation he would come (See Matthew ch.24).\n\nThe Apostle Paul makes it 100% clear in his letter to the Thessalonians in that the man of Perdition must first be revealed before Jesus comes.., [2 Thessalonians 2:1-12]\n\nAnd in the Book of Revelation is more coverage.\nREVELATION 13:7, tells us that the Antichrist is given power to make war against the saints.\n\nREVELATION chapter 20 verses 4-6 also makes a surprising statement. Read about the resurrection of the dead in verse 5.\n\nThe Book of Daniel also mentions this man of perdition having power to kill the saints.  The Pre-Tribulation Rapture is a work of "wishful thinking" with an assumption that God would pay more favor to the Gentiles over the Jews.\n\nThe Apostle Paul said of good things and bad things have an order - FIRST to the Jews - THEN - to the Gentiles, and not the other way around.\n\nTo say Jesus will come before the Antichrist is calling not just the Apostle Paul a liar (read 2nd Thessalonians.), but calling Christ a liar too (read Matthew ch.24).\n\nSome preacher dude started the pretrib thought and it was the Devil.  Please note that the Bible Says the Antichrist comes first.  MUSLIMS believe their Mahdi will arrive with Jesus in tow to convince Christians that this Mahdi (who is actually the Antichrist) is the true anointed one.\n\nIn light of the Mahdi's coming ahead of Christ - Many PreTrib believers will fall for  this ruse.., as this Mahdi and his false Jesus (false prophet) will explain (twist) the scriptures and quote the Quran to make sense and magically fill in the blanks.\n\nI am firm in my belief that the Pretribulation idea works to the advantage of Islam.  Can you imagine the horrible mistake of falling for the Antichrist's ruse - accepting him as messiah - Then when Jesus comes, to fight against Jesus ignorantly thinking Jesus is the Antichrist!?\n\nThe sad thing is - once anyone accepts the Mahdi, bowing to him and accepting his mark of homage.., its too late. The Bible says there is no forgiveness for blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Calling Jesus the Antichrist IS Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit -seeing Jesus maintained that His spirit will be sent to us from the father -  The Spirit of Christ is the Holy Ghost.\n\nBut we all have decisions to make. Only the sincere who remain faithful will make it.

If you claim that Jesus was only one of these three choices:::\n\n1) A lunatic (for claiming to be God in the flesh)\n2) A liar (for claiming to be God in the flesh)\n3) Exactly who He said He was (God in the flesh)\n\nthen you give me no choice but to say he was a liar.\n\nHowever, there are a lot more possibilities than the few three you give.\n\nJesus could have been one of the many people thought to have been the messiah, but that were proven wrong by time. Even the book of Acts in the Christian's New Testament lists two such false messiahs, Judah the Galilean and Theudas. \n\n          Act 5:36-37  For before these days rose \n          up Theudas, boasting himself to be \n          somebody; to whom a number of men, about \n          four hundred, joined themselves: who was \n          slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, \n          were scattered, and brought to nought. \n          37  After this man rose up Judas of \n          Galilee in the days of the taxing, and \n          drew away much people after him: he also \n          perished; and all, even as many as obeyed \n          him, were dispersed. \n\nWhat if the followers of Theudas or Judah the Galilean said the same thing, that either they were who they said they were, or they were lunatics or liars, or the messiah, with no other choice?\n\nAnd the reason they say that Jesus was only a good man and not Gd, is because we have Gd's promise in Hosea 11:9, where He said, "..for I am Gd and not a man." We have the same thing in Numbers 23:19 \n\n          Numbers 23:19 "Gd is not a man, that he \n          should lie; neither the son of man, that \n          he should repent: hath he said, and shall \n          he not do it? or hath he spoken, and \n          shall he not make it good?" \n\nwhich means IF Gd were a man, He would be a liar, since all men lie. IF Gd were a man he would need to repent, since all men sin.\n\nGd becoming a human, or a human becoming Gd, is the hallmark of the pagan faiths, where the stories of children of a god and a human mother, or the incarnation of a god, were told. Pharaoh thought he was a god, and the emporers of ancient empires were thought to have been gods, or the children of gods.

On further thought, I think the anti-christ might just be a woman.\n\nBecause the devil also know how to apply "biblical principles". Christians have first adam and second adam (Jesus). Devil also can come out with first eve and second eve (antichrist).\n\nSo when our minds are thinking, is Bush the antichrist, is the Pope the antichrist, the real antichrist might just appear - as a female. I think bible got say antichrist will be popular .. obviously Bush is not very popular but someone who preach "love and compassion" like the female bishop will be very popular, even among other religions!\n\nApostle Paul must have known this, that's why he strongly discouraged (is this an understatement?) woman to hold church office. That's why the Roman Catholic Church, with oral tradition from the apostles, disallow woman to be bishop. You won't know, the bishop might be promoted to be cardinal, then finally pope.\n\nAm I theologically sound? LOLx

If I had to choose one man walking the earth right now it would be\nIran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad this man is Evil yet he is very charismatic. The antichrist will try to reach out to all the peoples of the world. He would most likely be of Arab descent and would have a strong desire to destroy Israel. Also that region of the world is where armageddon is said to take place. In the Valley of Meggido. The only thing throwing me off is that many say that the antichrist will appear to be the messiah to Israel but in actuallity will be the great deceiver...the great liar...the false prophet. He sure wants to get a message to the american people though................check this out\n\nhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/29/AR2006112900293.html

Hello Amanda!\nIt would help if you could be more Specific on these questions!\nJesus Loves You!\nLater-----Ditto...........................\n\nLater:\nThats true, you can Take words out of the Bible, so GOD Warned us.\n\nThe Anti-Christ Spirit (satan) is in the World and has been for a Long Time---satan uses someone who will let him, when it comes to being the Anti-Chirst in the Flesh (Human Body).  There have been Several Anti-Christ's in the Flesh since satan gained Entrance to this World.\nI Think that the Last one is Alive at some Age on the Earth right now, in another Country, but those are Just my Thoughts, I could be Wrong.\n\nThese last Two questions are what I need more Info. on to be able to give a more Fuller Answer.\nThank you.

Yes he is the messiah, there is a book called "A Case for Christ". That book can, if read with an open mind, persuade most people that He really is the Messiah. He fullfilled every single prophecy there was for the Messiah! Every single one that was written hundreds or maybe even thousands of years before he was even born! The chances of one person fullfilling every prophecy, which is in that book, is almost nonexistent.

I found this ,it may answer some of your questions.(these or not my writings)\n\nA would-be historian and wannabe scholar by the name of Hugh Schonfield who did a book titled something like, “In Search of Historic Jesus.” It didn’t take long to realize that this man was out to prove that the divine Jesus, the Son of God, didn’t exist, and that he – Schonfield – had an anti-God, anti-Faith agenda behind his writings. He made the outrageous supposition that “the early Church fathers may have rewritten some of the New Testament books and influenced others to rewrite the story of Jesus” despite a total absence of any historical or documentary proof to support such a thesis.\n\nAnother wannabe historian, Gary R. Habermas, took it even a step father with his claim that “the Gospels represent the teachings of the early church and not those of Jesus himself.” These kinds of spurious claims are johnny-come-lately efforts of liberals and leftists who neither know, nor have a relationship with Jesus Christ, nor have they ever even made an effort to personally put Jesus’ claims to the test.\n\nThat said, let’s examine some of the historical evidence that does exist. \n\nMany years ago, my father made reference to a volume of historical documents he had looked at when he was studying in Bible College. He later obtained a copy and sent it to me. The book was titled, The Archko Volume, and represented the culmination of many years of effort of two eminent scholars, Drs. McIntosh and Twyman of the Antiquarian Lodge in Genoa, Italy. Published in 1887, the work provided copies of writings and works taken from the Talmud and the Sanhedrin contemporary to the time of Christ, along with a copy of “Acta Pilati,” which was a report sent by Pontius Pilate – the Roman procurator or governor of Judaea – to Caesar detailing the arrest, trial and crucifixion of Jesus. Some of the other documents included Gamaliel’s interview with Joseph and Mary concerning Jesus. Gamaliel, you may remember, was the Pharisee at whose feet Paul the apostle sat while he was yet a Pharisee, being instructed in the ways of the sect.\n\nThe Archko Volume also includes some documented reports of Caiaphas, the High Priest who presided over the Jewish trial and judgment of Jesus prior to His being brought before Pilate, as well as his report to the Sanhedrin concerning the resurrection of Jesus.\n\nAccording to the testimony of the two researchers and archeologists who came up with the documents, the sources of these documents were ancient libraries in Constantinople and the Senatorial Docket in Rome.\n\nWhen you read these documents, it provides an interesting perspective and an otherwise not-considered view of others who either participated in or observed events and people who were involved in some way with Jesus Christ.\n\nOne of the things often overlooked by those who seek to authenticate the historical Jesus is the fact that what we now refer to as the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) were written as personal testimonies of men who walked and talked with Jesus. These were eyewitness accounts. What makes them all the more intriguing is the fact that they were written at different times, in different places, and in three different languages (Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic), and yet they agree with each other. Each of the writers has a distinct personality and a perspective that differs from the others; and that personality comes through in the writing style. Nevertheless, there is synoptic agreement between Matthew, Mark and Luke. \n\nJohn writes from a totally different perspective as Jesus’ best friend, and the majority of what he writes details the final week of Jesus’ life and what He taught before He was crucified.\n\nBut, let’s step away from the accepted canon for a moment and look at the works of historians who were contemporary to the time.\n\nPhilo Judaeus of Alexandria, Egypt was a contemporary of both Jesus and the apostle

Yes, the next Pope is the final Pope in St Malachi's prophecy, and it is believed he will either be the anti-Christ or be Pope during the time of the anti-Christ....\nDoubtful whether prophecy is true - St Malachi has been about as accurate as Nostradamus so far (i.e. not very accurate at all but the writing is so obtuse some people grasp at straws to believe)
