SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST (In the Laodicean Church of Our Days!) 2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. There are only four verses in Scripture that contain the term antichrist : 1 John 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. 1 John 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. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [(but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also]. 1 John 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. 2 John 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. Clearly, from the verses above, antichrist is a SPIRIT, or THE spirit, that lives in the heart of anybody that denies that Jesus is the Christ, or denies the Father and the Son, or denies that Jesus Christ IS come in the flesh. Every man that denies the Son has not the Father and is antichrist, and also is an antichrist. Jewish blindness, however, should be considered separately as per Romans 11. Romans 11 (FORMER CHRISTIANS FALLING AWAY USUALLY DISREGARD THIS PART OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, BESIDES INNUMERABLE OT PROPHECIES ABOUT THE REGATHERING OF ISRAEL, AFTER APOSTASY THEY GIVE SUPPORT TO MUSLIM GROUPS WHO FOLLOW THE DOCTRINE OF THE ANTI-CHRIST) Churches going astray usually put their faith in MENS DOCTRINES, TWISTED INTEPRETATIONS OF FALSE LEADERS, RATHER THAN THE BIBLE) The Remnant of Israel 11 I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”? 4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. 6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. 7 What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened, 8 as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day.” 9 And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them. 10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.” Ingrafted Branches (How did Salvation come to the Gentiles?) 11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. 12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring! 13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. (GENTILE CHURCH PEOPLE SHOULD BE CAREFUL NOT TO MISINTERPRET THE BIBLE, Verse 21 says God will NOT SPARE such grafted in Branches!) 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. 22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! All Israel Will Be Saved (APOSTLE PAUL IS NO LIAR) 25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. 27 And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” 28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, 29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all. Since there are billions of antichrists - and no shortage from Johns day forward - it would seem there cannot be a single antichrist - not in Johns day - not today. An individual antichrist can only be just ANOTHER antichrist. The false prophet Muhammad perhaps chief among them since to confess that Jesus is the Son of God, or even to pray in Jesus name constitutes the single most heinous and only unforgivable sin of shirk in Muhammads anti-religion. THE FRUIT Look at the fruit of misunderstanding. Some say The Antichrist was Nero. Perhaps suggesting he is over and done with. Futurists are looking for some future individual The Antichrist of the silver screen yet to come. Others you can find on the Internet, of which there is no shortage, proffer guesses from the leader of Spain, to the Pope, to Ronald Reagan, and more recently, George Bush. Meanwhile there are 1.5 billion antichrists in Islam alone. The most important fundamental in Islam is shirk - that God has no Son. From the above we can see that this is specifically that spirit of antichrist. Sura 19:88 They say: (Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son! 89 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous! (QURAN CALLS THE SON OF GOD, JESUS MONSTROUS!) That 1.5 billion antichrists doesnt even count the atheist neighbor down the road where your kids go to hang out. Has the Church has been deceived into looking in the wrong place? Has the Churchs looking for some specific individual The Antichrist, past or future, also made it look like so much buffoonery to those outside of the Church? MUSLIM RELIGION IS ONE BIG ANTICHRIST RELIGION! The founding verses of the Dome of the Rock read: O you People of the Book, overstep not bounds in your religion, and of God speak only the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, is only an apostle of God, and his Word which he conveyed unto Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from him. Believe therefore in God and his apostles, and say not Three. It will be better for you. God is only one God. Far be it from His transcendent majesty that he should have a son. The Jews call Uzair a son of God, and the Christians call Christ the Son of God. That is a saying from their mouth; (In this) they but imitate what the Unbelievers of old used to say. Gods curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! (Surah 9.30) This is specifically that spirit of antichrist - describes the most important article in the Islamic faith. Genesis 12:2 And I will make of thee [Abram] a great nation [Israel], and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. How does Islam weigh in on our Jewish Brethren? Hadith: “Jews will hide behind the rock and tree, and the rock and tree will say: oh servant of Allah, oh Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!” Matthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 4 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Its really tragic that Christians of 3rd World Countries like India & Phillipines who benefited greatly and became Born Again Christians thanks to the pioneering efforts of English and American Christian Missionaries are today better informed and more Biblically strong in their support for Israel, than many Churches of the US today!
