This is the third in a 3 show series dealing with ‘Mystery Babylon, ‘The Man of Lawlessness’ and ‘The Anti-Christ.’ Here are your notes for today’s show:
THE ‘TRADITIONAL’ UNDERSTANDING
Who’s the Antichrist in the Bible?
Encyclopedia of The Bible – Antichrist
The Antichrist in the Bible: Understanding a Complex Biblical Concept
*********************
AN UNDERSTANDING MORE IN LINE WITH SCRIPTURE
Therefore, the term “antichrist” is in no way related to the identity of some world leader of the future; it is a reference to people who oppose the work of God, who misconstrue the person and work of Jesus, and who spread false teachings about Jesus. Since the term “antichrist” is never used in any prophetic passage, and since the context of its uses in the epistles of John is clear, making it a reference to one of the Beasts of Revelation is an appalling example of faulty interpretive practices. The common use of the term “antichrist” is based on many assumptions, all of which fly in the face of the obvious uses of the term in John’s letters.
