The Antichrist that will reign in the future will elevate himself in the place of God. That the whole world shall follow him-except a small group of faithful Christians who only worship God.
False
That the antichrist is an unknown man in the future that will rise and that will control the the world for 7 years. That he is mainly a political figure that enters the arena of religion like the emperors of Rome did in the past.
The Bible not only says there will be an antichrist but it also gives us the following details:
- Where he will rise from
- Who he is
- That he has been in the world for a long time
- That he comes from a religious movement and not solely political
I believe Paul answers this question very clearly. Listen to what he has to say:
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
2Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
The antichrist is said to have "fallen away" which is another expression for having committed apostasy which means "to leave the truth". He is also called the "son of perdition". This term is only used two times in the Bible. One here referring to the Antichrist and the other in reference to Judas - who betrayed our Lord Jesus Christ. Here is the other text:
Joh 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Judas was highly honored as a disciple of Christ. But he loved money more so he betrayed the Lord.
The antichrist is the leader of a professed christian movement that has betrayed the Lord and who's leader has placed himself in place of the Lord.
This is a complex study. But if you want to know the truth about who is the Antichrist just Click here and you will be taken to a website that has the complete study.
Do you really want to know who is Antichrist? Since those who have viewed this movie are mainly "protestants" I'll tell you this:
Just ask our forefathers from the protestant reformation and they will tell you who is the Antichrist. Taken from Wikipedia under the topic "Antichrist" and found in any encyclopedia:
"Many Protestant reformers, including Martin Luther, John Calvin, Thomas Crammer, John Knox, Cotton Mather, and John Wesley identified the Roman Papacy as the Antichrist."
He fulfils all of Bible Prophecy requirements as the antichrist.
Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
The Papacy reigned for 1260 years. From 538 to 1798 when he was dethroned by general Berthier of Napoleon's army. This was the "deadly wound". But it is prophecied in the Bible that this deadly wound will be "healed". Meaning that he will control the world again and place himself in the place of God.
Unfortunately, most of the protestant world is following after him and have rejected the protestant reformation position that was based in the Bible.
