johnf Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 People have been accusing world leaders, military, political and religious of being the antichrist probibly sence the first person read Revilations. So here is the theory. The antichrist has existed in one form or other sence the death of Christ. The bible clearly says that the antichrist will be in control of the world just before the return of Christ. It also says that no one but God the Father knows when Christ will return. Satan then must have someone primed and ready for the job at all times because he doesn't know when it will be. Sence he is not all powerfull and is not omnipresent he probibly has to have several "on deck" at all times just in case the starter gets killed. So who't the anticrist right now? Maybe Osoma, maybe Oboma, maybe Clinton, Prince Charles or his son William maybe it's none of them, or could be that it's all of them. I would bet it's not good Ol' "W". Too many people don't like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Re: The Antichrist.....A theory That's actually a pretty good theory there John. I never really thought of it that way. Like you said though, there has always been someone in history thought of as a possible Anti-Christ, from Emperor Nero, to Hitler, to Saddam Hussein. Me personally, I have always believed/been taught that the Anti-Christ would be the one that the Jewish people accepted as their Messiah, since the Jews are still waiting for Messiah to appear, never accepting Jesus as the Son of God. The day that the Jewish people start worshipping someone as the Messiah, and believing that the Messiah has come, that I believe will be the true Anti-Christ.

johnf Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Re: The Antichrist.....A theory As a pre-trib rapture believer I don't think that Christians will ever know who he is. There will always be theorys, but untill the day of the abomination of desilation his identity will always be theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest First_Light_Law_Firm Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Re: The Antichrist.....A theory The idea is thought provoking. 1 John 18-23 says that "many anti-christs" have appeared. These are described as those who pretend to be Christians but only lure weaker Christians from the faith. Remember that the devil won Adam and Eve by using God's Word. Genesis 3:4-5. He also tempted Christ with the Word of God. Luke 4:10-12. So the antichrists will either profess to be Christians or use God's Word in their temptations. The antichrist mentioned in Revelation 13 is a specific individual who is Christ's greatest opposition. Initial bible scholars identified the "beast with ten horns and seven heads" as Rome. The antichrists of Revelation 13 is satan as a dragon, a beast out of the sea, and a beast out of the earth. The three form an alliance against the trinity. The beast out of the sea is given political power and the one from the earth, power of miracles. Both are defeated and thrown into the lake of fire along with satan. Rev 19:20; 20:10. To conclude I will say that the antichrists are real and identifiable people in history and today. Are any of the men you mentioned luring Christians away? While the antichrist is identifiable, the depiction of Revelation applies to each of our lives and to our circumstances. Knowing who the true antichrist is doesn't matter, knowing who the true Christ is does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he will come completely to power untill after the rapture. I do however believe when the temple is rebuilt and the sacrifices begin again, we'll probibly be able to narrow the field significantly.
