Christ or anti-Christ?

11Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. 14Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. \n 18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.  -Revelation 13:11-18

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.

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.

As a Christian I don't hate either one. \n\nThanks for judging me though.

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.

Isn't it more important to know who is God so then you don't have to worry about the anti Christ!

I definitely wouldn't run to the first guy claiming he was the reincarnation of Him. I've heard  that the anti-Christ will come and people will be fooled into worshiping him. I like to think I would KNOW the difference.

While no detailed outline of the Antichrist's life is given, Paul essentially said he would be a counterfeit of Christ, and so one can reason that the Antichrist is human, therefore born of a woman.\n\nI believe he is alive and well waiting in the wings of the Middle East and rises out of Islam.

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 --

no...\nthat wont solve anything...\nif it truly is the anti-Christ there will be people protecting it and it will escape the genocide.\nplus it is exactly the sort of thing Satan would love... all those innocent babies and with no real result.

My vote is Christianity, it's easy going and very inviting ANYONE, but to be honest, there is too much for me to say here so try reading "The case for christ" by Lee Strobel. if you get the student edition then it's a quick read, only about a 114 small pages of larg print... Note: Lee Strobel was a jernalist that set out to disprove Christ becouse he thought it was wrong for his wife and coworkers to believe in something that wasn't true. after testing evey single little possabilaty and trying as hard as he could to disprove it... he found that he could only prove it.

The anti-Christ will NEVER call himself a Christian, not will he claim Jesus Christ as his Saviour. President Bush does. \n\nThe anti-Christ does everything opposite of Jesus Christ and seeks to destroy all those that love the Him. President Bush supports Christianity and loves the true Christ.\n\nMy advice to you is to study the Bible, watch the History channel, and read up on your president. Then you would not ask this type  of question and reveal your lack of knowledge in both of these areas.

There isn't a single one. \n\n"Who is the liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist." 1 John 2:22\n\nI think many people here conflate the generic term "antichrist" with the Beast of Revelation.\n\nHere is who the Beast is NOT.\n\nHe is not George W Bush. I just don't think he's smart enough, frankly.\n\nHe is NOT the Pope; that's unsupportable anti-catholic bigotry. The former Cardinal Ratzinger is a thousand times the theologian that any of the YA armchair preachers are.\n\nMost bible scholars of the non-pre-millenial kind accept that the Beast is the Emperor Nero, who was persecuting the church at the time of the writing of Revelation. "666" was his numerological symbol.

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.

No, actually you misunderstand as do most. 666 is the Mark of the Beast. The "Anti-Christ," The False Prophet and the Beast are all three different things. The Devil will eventually take the body of the "Anti-Christ" but that is another story. Anyway if you take the mark 666 or if it appears on you then you CHOSE the devil. That doesn't mean it is the Devil's number it means you rejected God.

What would you expect from the ANTI-CHRIST.
