1 Corinthians 1:26-29
Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

26 Just look at yourselves, brothers — look at those whom God has called! Not many of you are wise by the world’s standards, not many wield power or boast noble birth. 27 But God chose what the world considers nonsense in order to shame the wise; God chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the strong; 28 and God chose what the world looks down on as common or regards as nothing in order to bring to nothing what the world considers important; 29 so that no one should boast before God.

This is under "end times" because it will almost necessarily include references (maybe many, maybe few) to the antichrist and false church and prostitute of all the governments
as that covers most of the earth today and most people if not quite literally all people are subject to imprisonment, execution for their faith (in many countries), torture, harassment, mocking, ridicule, and deception.

The system must necessarily be overall encompassing to enforce the one world cashless society that's already designed and being implemented in many localities.
The deception has been broken since Yhwh used Martin Luther to start recovering the Truth of Scripture to people who seek Yhwh the Creator in His Grace poured out in Yeshua the Messiah abundantly !
But even though it's been broken, it has been gaining power steadily, almost exponentially since the Federal Reserve System was installed in the untied states. (and since the great earthquake in s.f., ca)(et al, etc)... .... ...
i.e. there's many many signs readily seen and available of the power of the deception, and the cover up and denial of Truth in almost every if not every field.

As long as one member of the Body of Christ suffers, all suffer. Even if separated around the globe in remote locations, or if in the same neighborhood next door to one another.
 
Barry Smith ( Kiwi Pastor died 2002 ) had some very interesting ideas on this. He predicted the USA financial collapse etc. He was very end times conspiracy minded.
 
There are many, but this one seems like a good short summary of anti-christs. He goes on with description of Antichrist in the link .....

"What are the characteristics of the anti-Christ? Are there some people alive that have these characteristics already? How can we identify the anti-Christ by his attributes?
What is an Anti-Christ?

The word “anti” means to be opposed to or to be the opposite of. You could say that anything that has the prefix “anti” on it is against what it is attached to. The word “anti” literally means to be opposed too. Like the word antibacterial means that the substance attacks bacteria or is against bacteria. So the anti-Christ attacks anything about Christ; His message, His person, His character. There are many anti-Christ’s out there today and there always have been since the time of Christ on earth. This is nothing new today. The fact that there are anti-Christ’s, lower-case “a”, has nothing to do with the Anti-Christ, upper-case “A.” There are many anti-Christs but there is only one Anti-Christ.
ten characteristics of the antichristThe Differences between the Anti-Christ and an anti-Christ

The apostle John, among other writers in the New Testament, mentions certain characteristics of the anti-Christ. In the first place, there is the Anti-Christ with a capital “A.” There were also many anti-Christ’s in the world at the time of the New Testament church with a lower-case “a.” What is the difference between these two? Did the writers of the New Testament make a mistake in their choosing between a lower-case “a” and an upper-case “A?” No, they were simply pointing out that anyone that opposes, for example, the divinity of Christ is an anti-Christ. There are many out there today who are anti-Christ’s in that they deny the deity of Jesus Christ who is God (John 1). Unbelievably, many who graduate from seminary deny that Jesus was fully God and fully man. These, by definition, are anti-Christ’s. Atheists could be said to be anti-Christ because they do not believe in God and thus Jesus Christ as God and so they stand condemned (John 3:18). The anti-Christ is not one person but a spirit of anti-Christ and so we know that there are many anti-Christ’s but it is the spirit of anti-Christ that lives within humans and not a specific person (2 John 4:3).

In 1 John 2:18 John makes a distinction regarding the anti-Christ as he wrote, “Children it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.” Here John states that there are many anti-Christ’s and that “you have heard that anti-Christ is coming.” John continues in verse 22, “Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist-denying the Father and the Son.” Here again the identity of the lower-cast anti-Christ is anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ. The Christ means the “anointed One of God.” As John says, whoever denies Jesus as the Christ, or as the Messiah, denies the Father and the Son and this person and these people are the anti-Christ’s.” There are many anti-Christ’s out there today just as there were in John’s day. But the anti-Christ is not the same as the Anti-Christ, upper-case “A.”

The characteristics of anti-Christ’s are whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ, that He is the Messiah or that He is fully God. The world has no shortage of anti-Christ’s. Their characteristics are that they also deny His virgin birth, His resurrection, His living a sinless life, and that He will return again to judge the world. For the believer, He will come as their King. For those who reject His gospel, He will come as their Judge (Rev 20). Either way, everyone will bow the knee and acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord.as a condemned sinner or a resurrected or glorified saint (Rom 14:11, Phil 2:10).
The Characteristics of the Anti-Christ

Paul spoke of one man as being the man of lawlessness (2 Thes 2:3-4). Since we know the difference between the many anti-Christs and the Anti-Christ, let’s look at Scripture to identify ten characteristics of the Anti-Christ. Some theologians say that there are up to 37 characteristics of the Anti-Christ’s so we know that there are more than ten but we will only look at the most obvious of these ten, although you may think of different ones other than those mentioned here......... ...

Yup.

This is what the Bible describes as antichrist... the chapter and verse are here for the sack of context.


1Jn 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.
1Jn 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

1Jn 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1Jn 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.

2Jn_1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
 
there is a church today who outlawed speaking the name of Yhwh, and edited it out of their bible(long ago).
I am at a loss to know why anyone still follows them, except Yhwh permits the great deception /falling away from truth ? (they don't allow the body of Christ to function in their midst).

All through the Scripture, Genesis through Revelation, Yhwh's chosen ones are subjects of correction and training.
In Proverbs it is clear that anyone with sense welcomes criticism and correction, even from unexpected sources many times. (like a donkey? :) ) (or a bleached white man spit up on shore from a fish! :) :) )
there's a lot from Proverbs etc about correction and criticism coming up later...... (this popped up first in the search )

Torah in the New Testament — Alef
Contrary to some popular conceptions, Saul of Tarsus (the apostle Paul) did not disparage the Law of Moses. He disparaged the misuse of it. He disparaged the exaltation of Torah and boastful human adherence to its letter, without arriving at its purpose and goal.

In this, Paul was following the great prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, who likewise warned against mere obedience without faith and humility before God.

Throughout Paul's teachings in his various letters to groups of Jewish and Gentile disciples of Yeshua scattered around the Mediterranean, Paul affirms the Law of Moses, the Law of God, the Torah. He assumes the continued validity of the Law, even though he believed aspects of it (not its entirety) were changed by God.

For example, the ancient barriers between Jews and Gentiles had come down. Because many Gentiles had their hearts cleaned by faith in the God of Israel and in the Messiah, they were co-worshipers and fellow-members of the Commonwealth—unlike some unrepentant Jews who had no such cleansing faith.
