Do You Think That The Anti-Christ Is Here Circulating Now?
399765
I believe that we are living in the end times.  Jesus will be returning soon, I can feel it deep in my soul.  Many Bible prophecies about the end times already have happened, and more are still coming true today.  Such as "there will be wars, and rumors of wars".  Well, we're in the middle of a war with Iraq right now, and there are rumors of other wars in other countries.  It's happening, and it's happening very fast.  Therefore, yes, I believe that the Antichrist is alive somewhere today.  It would be a scary thought for me, but since I've already accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I know that I won't be here when the real suffering begins.  Once Jesus comes back and all the believers are taken to heaven, everything on earth is going to start getting much, much worse.  I thank God that I won't be here to see it, and pray that the ones I know and love won't be here to see it either.

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.

I think he sees himself as someone who is preparing the way for the return of Christ.  The anti-christ will be someone we all love and respect, that's definintely NOT Bush.

Perhaps you have not read 1john for there are many antichrist even when Jesus walk this earth.\n1jo 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.

Christians support  a war?! Well, you won't stop surprising me. Isn't it against your religion?

I think all this is ridiculous. How do you know that the anti-Christ wasn't born on June 6th of 1906, or 1806, or so on? If you believe in that crap, I feel sorry for you.

The Bible answers that question. The anti-christ power(let's just all get along and keep silent no matter what,what's in it for me) is growing rampant and people are focused on all these worldly cares and one day it will be illegel to pray in the Name of JESUS and many people will lose their lives standing for Truth and Righteousness. JESUS said " If they have hated me will they not also hate you who follow me." He also said " What good is it if a man gain the whole world and then lose his soul."  It's all vanity.

Remember the bible predicted the coming of Bush - the Anti- Christ.  \n\nSo-callled Christians are suppose to hail him as a godly figure. And they ARE doing that as we speak.\n\nHe is suppose to be appealling to most people while being Satan in disguise.  Bush fits that bill.

What an interesting and complex question -- By defination anitchrist is (anti) against (Christ) things that are of Christ and/or Christian and/or Christ-like -- Now this question would be answered differently by many different  religions -- To get some full background information on this I would suggest to research the topic on the internet -- Now some would argue that the antichrist might be a person, a group, a country or even a belief itself -- I was raised to believe that it would be a person that would come in the time of Revelations at the end of days -- But as I grew up and became an independant thinker and studied religion and philophy and had long talks/debates with my father who was a Philsophy and History Professor and a Minister, I decided that it was a belief more than a person -- I also discovered that the belief in the Rapture is an American invention and not a Biblical fact and do not believe that it is inevitable -- Also that from the historal evidence that I have seen that John's Revelation has already taken place with the Roman Empire and that the second coming of Christ was Catholicism and the wars of Constintine -- But I suggest that you do some reading and research of your own and decide for yourself, after all that's what Faith is --

because he is the anti christ

As for his name, that is not known. I personally believe the Antichrist is alive and well in the Middle East.\n\nI am convinced from Daniel 9:27 and various prophetic passages in the Bible that the Antichrist is most likely going to come from Islam. He will be their expected "Mahdi" and he will have a phony shill calling himself Jesus to serve as the false prophet. The false Jesus will try to convince Christian that the Muslim Mahdi is the true anointed one and not Jesus.\n\nPre-Tribulation Rapture believing Christians (most, not all) will fall for this lie and will mark a huge departure from Jesus Christ.\n\nApproximately 3 to seven years after that point, Jesus will return and be mistaken for the Antichrist because of the Mahdi's lies. Jesus will destroy all who have accepted the Mahdi (Antichrist) and cast the Mahdi and his false Jesus into the lake of fire, meeting judgment before the rest of the world does.\n\nWhen the Muslim Mahdi makes his appearance - THAT - WILL - BE - The Antichrist. I've told you ahead of time - be on guard.

Yes, after the Rapture. They will be headed by the anti christ. It says so right in the Bible. (It's in the book of Revalation)

I believe the Antichrist will come from Islam, posing as the Muslim's awaited, Mahdi. I base this on Scripture passages starting from Daniel chapter 9:27...,\n\nRead it. Its speaks of an abominable temple with a pinnacle and the Antichrist making his arrival there.  This abomination sits on a wing of the Jewish (Solomon's) Temple.\n\nCurrently the Muslim Dome of the Rock sits squarely on a wing of the foundations of the destroyed Temple Mount. That sets up a red flag in itself.\n\nI also believe based on current global and Middle East events, this "Mahdi" (antichrist) is alive and well in the middle east, ready at any time to make his debut.

If he is adding to the word of God, he will be greatly cursed.  And stumbling our brothers and sisters puts their blood on our hands.\n\nI think the guy is in enough trouble without our comments.\n\nBest to pray for those who believe these lies.

(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?

Jesus is not walking around today, He has not returned for his people.  If he were we would not be here on earth today.  As for the Anti-christ, who knows, they could be.  I agree that Jesus is disappointed with our world today, but as the end times come closer than things will get worse.

It has been there all along, just being made more public now.  They follow the false prophet and are being deceived by Satan.  True believers know what is happening in the world right now.  We are getting closer and closer to the End Times.  The Antichrist will have his control of the earth for a while until the Second Coming of Jesus.  One world religion is warned of in the Bible.  Islam says they want to dominate the world and kill the infidel.  One world currency is told of in the Bible.  It's happening already with the Eurodollar and Iran's threat to only use the Eurodollar in crude oil dealings instead of the American Dollar. One world government is told of in the Bible.  That is the United Nations.  No one wants to do anything without their approval now.  The Devil is hard at work.  No one can say radical Islam doesn't exist, we've seen the atrocities they have committed.  Bush has it right and people laugh at him.  There is good and evil.
