No Such Thing As Anti-Christ......sorry

No he's not coming. Do you realize that only 1/3rd of all Christians believe in the end times scenario and the anti-Christ? It's mostly American Evangelists who've twisted this scripture around, including the whole book of Revelation.

Did you know that.........

1. the word "antichrist" is only found in 4 Bible passages?
2. the word "antichrist" is not found even once in the book of Revelation?
3. All were penned by Apostle John?
4. All passages are within the books of First John and Second John?
5. The Greek word from which our English word "antichrist" is translated is very easy to understand?
6. It is a simple compound word and means "anti" + "Christ" = "antichrist"?

"Anti-Christ" is anyone who opposes Christ.

1 Jn 2:18-19-"Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us."

It will disappoint quite a few people, so you did well to add sorry!
Very good research, well done.

Antichrist = opponent of Jesus Christ or antagonist of Jesus Christ

The book of Revelations mentions the "beast" which is considered the Antichrist (opponent of Jesus Christ or antagonist of Jesus Christ).



Revelation 13:13-15 (New International Version)

And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.

allegories don't translate to real people.

to quote joseph campbell

Religion can be defined as misinterpreted mythology....[It attributes] historical references to symbols which properly are spiritual in their reference
