What is an Anti-Christ?
342387
The Anti Christ is a world leader who will rise in the last days after the church is removed from the Earth by Jesus in the rapture before the tribulation begins. As far as who he is (his name) we don't know. But I can tell you several things about him. One he will be a world leader that will arise out of europe. He will broker a 7 year peace agreement between Israel and the Arab world. He will allow Israel to rebuild their temple. He will be hailed as a hero by many. Someone will try to kill him but he will survive the attack. He will be possesed by satan. Half way through the 7 years he will declare himself to be God and will try to force the world to worship him. He will do this in the rebuilt Jewish temple. Those who accept him will have to receive a mark on their hands or foreheads in order ot buy or sell any kind of product. Those who reject him will be killed for doing so. He will greatly persecute the Jews and Christians after he declares himself to be God. When Jesus returns at the end of the tribulation he will be exposed as false and satan will be removed from the man and bound for a thousand years. After he (satan) is released satan will lead one final rebellion against God and then be completely defeated and sent into the lake of fire where he will suffer eternally with all who reject Jesus. The good news is if a person accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior believing He died on the cross for our sins and rose from the grave. Then they will be forgiven and saved and will not be here to see the anti Christ or any of the atrocities he will commit.

It's possible, but it really doesn't matter. The anti-Christ will not come into power until the rapture occurs (ie. Jesus appears to the world and takes away all of His followers.) But only God knows when that day will occur. Jesus doesn't know and Satan doesn't know. That's why Satan always has an anti-Christ ready and waiting. The world has never been without one because the Day of the Lord could be at any moment and Satan doesn't want to be ill-prepared to play his role in the final days.

The find that definition one has to consult the source - The Bible;\n\nThe bible defines the antichrist to be able to:\n1. To be able to forgive sins\n2. Proclaim to be higher than God\n\nTheres only one system which does just that - Catholics

The antichrist is not one person, but is anyone who denies Christ Jesus. 1 John 2:18 confirms this:--" Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour." These antichrists are in every country.\nAtheists, deists or agnostics, are antichrists. Any political or religious organization who prefers human rulership rather than God's heavenly government and it's rulership is an antichrist. Since the destiny of all who comprise the antichrist is destruction at Armageddon, it follows that all who would escape that end must separate themselves from any antichrist.

Antichrist or beast and false prophet and the 666 man is all in bible and history.\n\nJohn 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Heb.2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Heb. 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; Heb.2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Heb.2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 1John 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.1John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 1John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 1John 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 1John 2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.1John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 1John 4:3 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. 1John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

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

What a marketing!\nAnti + Christ, is a Greek compound word.\nAnti means opposite, opposing, etc.\nChrist is meant to mean Jeshua\nNow, if there is no prof of Christ, how can we talk about his opposite?\nDuring the Medieval times, when the christians were controlling Europe, they invented many to secure their power, among them was antichrist!

What follows is just my opinion ... Anti-Christ means one who stands in and takes the place of Christ. Most Christians expect this to be an evil individual that will rule the world for a short time during what they think of as the end times. That's OK, people believe what they want/need/should and I'm fine with that. But, consider ... In the individual, what is it that stands in Christs stead? What ursurps the Christ Consciousness within each of us, telling us that we are something other than we are? Lets go a little further ... In the Book of Revelation John said that the Anti-Christ had a number. It was 666. In accordance with Biblical Numerolgy, or Sacred Gematria as some call it, 6 is man's number. Its just one short of God's number which is 7 and refers to perfection or completness. In the Christian New Testament God is described in a three fold manner, which some interpret as a trinitarian concept of God, but it speaks of ... God, the Father, the one who speaks. God, the Son, the one who manifests. And God, the Holy Spirit, the one that acts after the word has been spoken by the Father and brings about the effect, which effect is the Son. Just so the Anti-Christ attempts to operate along these three lines. Now what in MAN, who's number is 6, makes all these false claims? What speaks to us and seems to be the force behind us and then makes the thing reality? The one thing that ursurps Christ or Christ Conciousness in each of us, the one thing that seems to rule us and our world, the one thing that would have us believe that it is the prime force and true reality, is ... The ego. The ego is what stands between me and Oneness with Deity. And that thing, that false Messiah, that thing called ego is, for me anyway, Anti-Christ. But, hey, that's just me. I'm all for the other guy developing along the lines he/she should and the way he/she should. ~ Peace and Blessings ~

(I'm pasting a question I posted today to answer your question)\n\nCorrect me if I'm wrong but isn't the anti-christ suppose to come to earth under the disguise of being a Christian? Then he becomes a world leader using his faith right? And then the story goes that all who follow him etc... those who don't are saved....\n\nIs that right?\n\nBecause if it is, I'm pretty upset after watching pbs.org Frontline story "The Jesus Factor" http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/...\n\nIt's a documentary of Bush and his path to religion. In 1988, he was hired by Bush Sr. to find out how to appeal to the evangelical voters. He reported back stating they were a huge populance and he is actually quoted as stating in 2000, "you can win the presidency with their vote ALONE."\n\nIf you watch the entire show, you see how he studied this early and then set out to use his faith to become president.\n\nNow, tell me pls, does this not describe what is prophesied as as what the anti-christ will do by then gaining world power?

According to the book of Revelations as interpreted by modern christendom, the anti-christ will be a world leader who appears on the scene after the gathering (rapture.) This leader will unite the people of the world against the believers of Jesus Christ in the war of Armegeddon. The popular belief is that we won't know who he is until he makes himself self evident.
