    Focus on the Family addresses the use of biblical principles in parenting and marriage to strengthen the family.

False Prophet

I personally know many Christians who could care less about what the Old Testament says.
These same people are more than happy to accept Roman holidays as being the truth of God.

Hebrews 5:12;
1 Corinthians 3:2;

Just what is Roman and untrue about Christmas and Easter?
 
Do you think the false prophet is a futurist?

my fixation is on what do the Scriptures say

Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 1 John 2:18

and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 1 John 4:3


Both of these scriptures put the antichrist as coming [future].


Paul teaches a figure who will go to the Temple of God, as Messiah, and deceive many.


Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

Man of sin who is revealed by going to the temple, and exalts himself as God in the temple...

  • This man of sin, or lawless one will be destroyed personally by Jesus Christ, by the brightness of His coming.

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:8


This man of sin, lawless one, son of perdition, false messiah, which is another way of saying "antichrist" will be alive on earth when Jesus Christ returns.

That certainly makes him a "Future antichrist", as John says... as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming.

Yep. It amazes me how anyone could claim otherwise after taking these scriptures into account. 1 John 2:18 and 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 clearly speak of a man of sin, or anti christ as a singular specific man. Yes, their have been many with the spirit of anti christ. But, this speaks of a single specific, man of sin.

So in this future event Jesus Christ has to reveal the "He who must not be named", to those who don't believe the truth?
 
and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 1 John 4:3

really that is future? how is already in the world future?
 
1Jn 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.
Odd how some one who most often uses JKV changes to a version that sorta supports their dogma..

Racking my brain to figure out how the verse below is future.
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.

Like telling your kid i bought you a car and it is even now already is it in the driveway...
 
The most brilliant/genius humans in the past 2 thousand years has been Jews. They all speak of time as relative.
1 day thousand years, E=MC2, thousand years is a day, there is no concept of time in the Spirit, it only exist here on this plane.

You're right. It's NOT future. John was actually CORRECTING what the believers he was addressing had heard.


1 John 2:18

I John 2:18 Nasb

18Children, it is the last hour; and just as
-------------------(physical singular future)-------
you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

Very specific, a physical single anti christ is coming.

1 John 4:3 Nasb

3and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

Why would this have to be future? This could be anytime after the cross, up until our time, even into the future. There will be a man of sin (singular physical human), to come.

Obviously, the spirit of anti christ has and will continue to be prevelant. However, there will be a man of sin to come.

All you who are looking for an antiChrist spirit as a man are wasting your time.

We don't SEE antiChrist spirits, er, ah, because they are spirits of DEVILS.
 
I deal with spirits of devils every single day.

How so?

Every time I meet an unbeliever, I am in fact meeting also, this, in resistance to the witness of Christ in me:

2 Corinthians 4:4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Acts 26:18
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

The antiChrist spirit dwells in and covers the minds/hearts of EVERY unbeliever in the entire world. Just READ and SEE.

Revelation 12:9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

I mean, seriously, how blind can believers be, that they need some MAN to prove any of the above?!

The antiChrist spirit has been quite engaged with taking down the WHOLE WORLD in his deceptions, from the beginning. We don't need any more proof than is already on the TABLE for viewing.
 
The devils also KNOW who belongs to God. They will even say so, right out of the mouth of their captives.

Acts 19:15
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know;

but who are ye?
 
It is only blinded by the flesh people who can't see the obvious and are instead looking for some bad guy in the flesh when the real bad guys have over run the entire world of unbelievers.

I mean come on people. Wake up.
 
Yeah, I think I'll listen to the bible when it states the Anti christ and false prophet will be 2 humans. Or wait, can a spirit embody a spirit? If you answer no, then it's clear from Revelation 16:13 Nasb


13And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs;14for they are spirits of demons, performing signs,

This,
that these 3 unclean spirits (demons) are coming out of physical beings. Or, I guess the argument is, that a spirit can embody another spirit? Then that these unclean spirits are coming out of other spirits? Nah, I'll go with the teachings of the bible as a whole. Which clearly relate there will be a man of sin to come in the future.

Someone is going to be surprised. However, it won't be anyone who's expecting that a physical antichrist will come, and that he'll be embodied by an unclean spirit.
