FINAL PIECE TO THE PROPHESY THAT WAS FULFILLED BEFORE THE RAPTURE
2 Thess 2:3 (Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction)
THE MEANING OF ANTICHRIST (A/C)
1 John 2:22 Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is theantichrist—he denies the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
2 John 1:7 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
The spirit of the antichrist is always in the world and has shown itself in many ways and in many people down the ages.
Empowered by satan, this last great antichrist will recognize no authority, Christian or otherwise, apart from his own, will put himself in the place of God as the sole controller of mankind.
