Our Lord Jesus HAS already revealed 'the' "antichrist" that John said was to come. He also revealed who the "many antichrists" are. It's all in His Word from Genesis 1 to the end of Revelation 22. So far, none here have revealed who it will be.
The early Church was just in looking and watching for the coming of 'the' antichrist, but they were not in the end of days like we are today. So all they could relate the prophecy to was a pattern God's Word shows about the antichrist.
However, our Lord Jesus in Matt.24 ALSO revealed the idea of patterns, or types, or shadows, that point to the final antichrist He was intending. When our Lord warned of a pseudo Christ (pseudochristos), and linked the "abomination of desolation" event from Daniel with that false one, He obviously assumed we already knew about a previous pattern Antiochus served in that role back in 170 B.C.
In the OT prophets, our Lord made comparisons of Pharoah, the king of Assyria, king of Tyrus, and the king of Babylon directly to Satan himself. The lesson in that was to show the working of the role of false king reigning over the kingdoms of this world instead of our Lord Jesus as THE RIGHTFUL KING. That is the actual meaning of the word "antichrist", for it links to how Satan first rebelled against God by coveting His Throne and wanting to be THE KING in place of Christ Jesus.
What that pattern or type lesson is supposed to teach us today, is to look back in history for that role, those who fulfilled that pattern, while also expecting a final fulfillment of it with the ultimate fake king doing it in the end of days. So if Satan began the original pattern, and OT pagan kings of history served as types, then who might be expected to fufill its final type just prior to Christ's return? Yet another flesh man in the role of king of kings over all the kingdoms of the earth? No, because that would be just a continuing of the types what Israel in OT times saw, and what the early Church was given to see in their days.
That's why 'the' antichrist role, the final one, is not about just another flesh man in that role as false king of the earth. The ultimate pattern, the original blueprint, the first prototype, was Satan. And so will he fulfill the last one. This is why the coming tribulation on earth is written to be a time of trouble the likes that has never before occurred upon the earth. It is also why many will be deceived and fall away in its snare.
well if im reading vetrens reply correctly, its still a detective story, following the clues, joining the dots,
process of elimination, speculating.
but what i think his post implys, some one who will over shadow, every one who has been, type, O.T Kings, your neros, hitler, popes ect i can not see any of the present contenders, ruling from Israel, maybe ruled from Israel?obama? charles, ect
the ullitimate deception, ruler, king, leader. bigger than anything before or ever will be.
almost out of this world, i will throw this in, and see where it leads.
reptilican/alien,demonic deception,?angel of light? maybe some thing like the ancient myths where we are tolled the earth was visited.
bringing fire down from heaven ect?
some say this thing in geneva, is really about opening a port hole? star gate?
AboveTopSecret.com: Conspiracy Theories, UFOs, Politics, and Many Other "Alternative Topics" using alien intellegence?
lets say U F O s landed we come in peace, how in awe would the world be,
bringing a new culture, religion, belief, a leader. war of the worlds?
just thinking out of the box, satan in his pride, will want something spectacular, for his grand finale? the master of deception! johnny
