Need some help on Religious text

I have a question about the anti-christ as it is written in the Bible. I have heard that the Bible states that the anti-christ will reveal himself prior to the coming of the messiah. I have also heard that the anti-christ will declare himself God to the world, but I can't find that in the Bible either. Can anyone point me to exact passages which confirm either of these claims. Also, feel free to add any extra anti-christ bible quotes that you feel may be relevant to my inquiry.

EDIT: I stopped viewing this tread because the responses were sporadic. I didn't realize there were so many! Thank you. The passages I was looking for specifically are found in 2 Thessalonians 2. Thanks for all who contributed. Perhaps we should start a thread that attempts to interpret these passages 0.0 ?

Added Meaning for "Anti"

Please bear in mind as you read, that Bible scholars say that "anti" also means "instead of". So, an anti-Christ would not only be opposed to Christ, but would try to replace Christ with himself.

Fed-Up

In Matthew 24:24 Jesus Christ

In Matthew 24:24 Jesus Christ says beware of false Christs, with the Greek word false being pseudo, which would be very close to that.

Mat 24:23 ThenG5119 ifG1437 any manG5100 shall sayG2036 unto you,G5213 Lo,G2400 hereG5602 is Christ,G5547 orG2228 there;G5602 believeG4100 it not.G3361
Mat 24:24 ForG1063 there shall ariseG1453 false Christs,G5580 andG2532 false prophets,G5578 andG2532 shall shewG1325 greatG3173 signsG4592 andG2532 wonders;G5059 insomuch that,G5620 ifG1487 it were possible,G1415 they shall deceiveG4105 theG3588 veryG2532 elect.G1588

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

That is correct. When the man

That is correct. When the man of sin is revealed, he will present himself as the messiah, but he is the "counterfeit".

"There is nothing more dangerous than false religion, because in the punishment of imposture the hand is held back, lest some injustice might be done".

2nd Thes. 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.

Read the seventy weeks prophecy in Daniel

That's Chapter 9 and specifically verse 26.

After some study it is clear who Daniel is talking about. "And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary."

Who destroyed the city and the temple? The Romans. Who instituted the false worship that Christianity follows today? The Roman church under Constantine.

Don't take what you have learned in this world for granted. "Test all things and hold fast to that which is good."

Some passages from the Holy

Some passages from the Holy Bible on the subject below:

Matthew 7:3-14
3 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Luke 13:22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. 29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Romans 1 on the subject of

Romans 1 on the subject of sin and having a "form of godliness" but denying the power therein from 2 Timothy 3. Could this be the strong delusion of Thessalonians too? Could it be watered down gospels, teaching that you don't need to repent of sin, that Jesus Christ doesn't need to save you from anything, that hell doesn't exist, that God doesn't punish the wicked (Isaiah 13:11) and other forms of godliness but denying the power thereof?

Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

The Guy we call the Anti-christ is not his proper name.

It does work for him well as he is opposed to Christ.

Agent86 pointed these scriptures out and they do not Apply to the MAN we know as the Antichrist but rather the Spirit of everything that is "antiChristian"

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." (1 John 2:18-22 KJV)

"For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist." (2 John 1:7 KJV)

BUT there is a guy [I believe he is alive today] Who will be the ultimate leader of the EU. He will not control the entire world but only the old Roman Empire territory ... the Modern European Union.

The passage you are looking for is 2 Thessalonians chapter 2

There are others but this one is very good.

I am a pre-trib rapture guy ... I won't get into it unless you ask ... but this guy will reveal himself by several acts

2 Thessalonians chapter 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;

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.

There is the God Part ... The Major sign is found In Daniel 9 the last 4 verses are called the 70 week Prophecy ... when properly understood this is one of the most facinating Prophecies of the bible ... The biggest sign of identification of this clown will be his signing a 7 year peace treaty with Israel.

Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease

A week in Hebrew means a period of 7 ... 7 days or 7 weeks or 7 years ... The last 7 years of planet Earth as we know it begins with this peace treaty ... The 7 year period is called the time of Jacob's trouble where he needed to serve 7 years for his 2nd wife Rachael or her week of service ...

Blah blah blah blah blah ... if you like this just ask for more as its tedious for me to type all this. I am an expert in this shit and I would much rather make you a youtube as I am a horrible typer.

Will try to find exact scripture verses tomorrow.

Read the whole books of Revelations, Ezekiel, and Isaiah. Revelations is a short read and when I go through it, it's clear to me that first the rapture happens. This is when Jesus appears in the clouds to take His church. (the church is christians) Then the tribulation happens for seven years in which the anti-christ rises to power. Some nasty times.

Erwin Lutzer from Moody Church has given some awesome sermons on his thoughts : http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/running-to-win-long-versi...

(Go to broadcast archives, then the series is under The King is Coming)

Also check out Adrian Rogers. He's got some great analogies about it.

Give ear to my prayer, O God...

"Beloved, believe not every

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that Spirit of Antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." (1 John 4:1-3 KJV)

"Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." (1 John 2:18-22 KJV)

"For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist." (2 John 1:7 KJV)

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. (1Timothy 3:16)

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." (2 Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV)

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

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;

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.

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

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:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

No matter what anybody says, Jesus Christ has not returned yet. He will after the falling away and the man of sin is revealed. That man of sin will profess himself to be the messiah. He will be accepted as such and make himself God.
This will all happen in Israel. Soon.

And if you don't believe we are smack in the middle of the falling away, look at the responses your post gets compared to the references above.

I am glad you read the KJV

it is definitely the best translation I have found on the Bible. If you use the NIV I have noticed the wording can lead to terrible interperatations. The Falling Away is here, I do agree, and I can understand your assumption that the AntiChrist will come out of Israel. I happen to believe that the Catholic Church has been AntiChrist for a long time, and I also believe the Pope has placed himself as God already. I am not saying I know for sure if the Catholic Church is the AntiChrist already that the Bible speaks of, it is hard to say. I do believe that the Catholic Church is the Mother of all harlots, which is hard to refute. It leads me to believe that we must keep our eyes on the Catholic Church. I also believe we are the last beast in Revelations that is like a Lamb that speaks like a Dragon, paving the way around the world for the Devils last stand. Meaning we seem like a Christian nation but our actions around the world work to make way for the Dragon(Devil). I don't claim to know more than you, I have studied quite thoroughly on the subject though and hope the Holy Spirit is guiding me to the Truth. God bless.

The Book of Daniel

and Revelation are the same prophetic message. The ten horned beast is the same beast of the statue's ten toed feet made of iron and clay in Nebuchadnezzar's dream. The Anti Christ is the little horn that rises out of the ten big horns, meaning the Anti Christ will rise out of europe and the ten original countries it split into after the fall of the Roman Empire. The, yes THE Anti Christ is the Catholic Church or will come out of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church was the original church started by Peter and is the Mother of all harlots, meaning every church stemmed off from the Catholic Church since it's inception. A woman is a church when spoken in metaphor, so a Mother would be the largest religious organization, church, on the planet. Notice in Revelations where it talks about the colors that church will even dress in...

Revelation 17:4 KJV

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Change the word woman in this text to church, and realize the wealth the Catholic Church has...

Your understanding of

Catholicism and Christian doctrine is sadly lacking, surpassed only by your vicious hatred of the Faith which you clearly do not understand. Without the Catholic faith there would have been none of the heresies that sprouted from it of which you are an apparent adherent. Care to enlighten us as to your denomination or are you a lone ranger "interpreting" Scripture according to your own infallible gifts?

Matthew 18:20

is my denomination. I don't ask man for answers, I ask God directly, which we all have direct access to. I lean Seventh Day Adventist, but I don't lean on man. I don't attend a church, I study the Bible with fellow Christians. I believe the Remnant will be people who have completely given the world away. Christ will completely purify His people that He wishes to be a light to the world in the end, that means major life changes. You will know a true Christian by their character and actions, not by what they speak.

The R3volution requires action, not observation!!!!

I am not knowledgable enough

to interpret all of Scripture within its context and culture, language and varying styles of writing. And judging from your post, neither are you. How do you know Scripture is true, seeing as how it came from the Catholic Church that you consider the Anti-christ? You are leaning on man, yourself.

I used to be Catholic

until they raised up the body of Christ and blood of Christ every week and continued sacrificing Him over and over. Why does the Bible say the only way to the Father is through the Son, but yet the Catholic Church has us praying to Mary and confessing to Priests? The Catholic Church has many great people in it, but I am afraid they have fallen for the Devil's ultimate tool, deception. I thank God I was able to be shown the true way. I don't go to church, I study the Bible with friends every week. Matthew 18:20 states

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

In the end times, you won't be able to attend a church, it states we will not be able to buy nor sell, if you can't buy nor sell, you sure won't be able to follow the true Christ openly. The Catholic Church is full of false traditions and tries to claim the Throne of God. The Anti Christ and Christ's will seem like Angels of light, what makes anyone think a church is not going to be run by the Devil. The 501c tax exempt status that the government allows to churches should be the first clue that the Satan is already in the midst.

Because

>until they raised up the body of Christ and blood of Christ every week and continued sacrificing Him over and over.<<<<<

This is done because Jesus told us to. "Do this in memory of me."

>>>> Why does the Bible say the only way to the Father is through the Son, but yet the Catholic Church has us praying to Mary and confessing to Priests?<<<<

We pray to Mary to intercede with God on our behalf as she did at the wedding at Cana. This is Scriptural. The priest acts in place of Christ in the confessional. Again, this tradition is to remind us of our sin and the need to atone for it. TANSTAAFL.

>>>>> The Catholic Church has many great people in it, but I am afraid they have fallen for the Devil's ultimate tool, deception. I thank God I was able to be shown the true way. I don't go to church, I study the Bible with friends every week. Matthew 18:20 states

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."<<<<<<

No doubt all churches have their share of bad people in them, hypocrites, deceivers. That doesn't impact Christianity itself, the dogma and doctrine. I understand what you are saying but I need "direction to perfection". I need the wisdom of Aquinas, Augustine, John Henry Newman, Mother Angelica, convert Scott Hahn. When I read Hahns "Understanding Scripture" I am reading points and angles I never would have considered before, the coventantal nature of Gods relationship with his people, the mirror of the Trinity in the family, the New Testaments relationship to the Old, Mary as the Ark carrying the Word. "Humana Vitae" was so prophetic and true, we are seeing the results of contraception, the separation of the sex act from love and the slaughter that has resulted and more coming. There are such riches in the Faith, I couldn't begin to understand it all in a million years. I am thankful that I found my home there. I have respect for all seekers after God, however. And I am ashamed of the time before my conversion when I believed all the lies about Catholicism.

>>>>>>In the end times, you won't be able to attend a church, it states we will not be able to buy nor sell, if you can't buy nor sell, you sure won't be able to follow the true Christ openly.<<<<

The early church worshipped in catacombs. There will be martyrs, no doubt. There are today.

>>>>> The Catholic Church is full of false traditions and tries to claim the Throne of God.<<<<<

How so? Most of the false teaching coming from the Church is coming from liberal churches that ignore Church dogma and preach the liberal statist religion, nuns who preach feminism and abortion.

All things of men are corrupt to some degree. Peter denied Christ, Paul eagerly claimed his Roman citizenship, the Pharisees killed their Messiah. That is the world. That doesn't mean that all Catholic teachings are false. The modernizations of Vatican 2 have done much damage but there is a growth in orthodox priests being ordained and a return to the Latin Mass in many places. Satan is everywhere in this world.

A little defensive there, AllPaul?

You seem to be the one whose understanding is lacking.
Maybe you are not aware of the Reformation and the counter-reformation.
Wycliffe, Huss, Luther, the Anabaptist, Wesley, Calvin and numerous others all taught that the papacy was the antichrist. The denominations that came from them all taught this as well until about 100-50 years ago when the Rapture theory became popular. The Baptists, Lutherans, Methodist, Presbyterians, etc. all taught that the system (not the people) of the papacy is the antichrist.
Numerous books are around that detail their reasoning from scripture as to why they believed this.
You can look at Wylie's book, The Papacy.
Samuel J. Cassels (Presbyterian) Christ & Antichrist.
H. Grattan Guiness, Romanism and the Reformation.
G. Ladd, The Blessed Hope. In this book he tells of numerous reformers who taught and believed that the papacy was the antichrist.
If it is what the Bible teaches it isn't vicious hatred. If it isn't what the Bible teaches than please show a defense for the compelling arguments of numerous scholars.
I've looked at some answers from the Catholic Church and have only seen such answers as, "That's just plan silly." I find such answers extremely lacking.

I have spent too much time

on this forum and others trying to catechize the ignorant on Catholic theology. You are quite welcome to worship as you choose, I am well aware of the authors you recommend and converted to Catholicism when I was catechized, very patiently by those who understood.
God calls us to Him, the Protestant path is frequently one He chooses.
All I ask is to stop calling Catholics followers of the anti-Christ and try to not hate brothers in Christ quite so much.

I am not trying to bash you at all

there are good Catholics, I have known many, but we must interperate the text correctly through the Holy Spirit. I did not realize how I feel about the Catholic Church on my own, only the Holy Spirit can interperate the Bible to man, we cannot rely on our own understanding. God bless.

2 Thessalonians 2 3 Let no

2 Thessalonians 2

3 Let no man deceive you by any means,for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that the man of sin be disclosed, even the son of perdition,

4 Which is an adversary, and exalteth himself against all that is called God, or that is worshipped,so that he doeth sit as God in the Temple of God,shewing himself that he is God.

13 No servant can serve two masters; for either he shall hate the one, and love the other, or else he shall lean to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and riches. - Luke 16

Scripture teaches

and it is very plain from John the Baptist on. Repentance for the Forgiveness of sins. Unless you repent of your sins and turn towards Lawfulness then it doesn't matter how much you claim to believe in Messiah. A tree is known by it's fruit and if you continue in sin then it is evident and your belief is a lie. If someone, being a wild olive branch and being grafted in, does not partake of the ROOT and produce the fruit of Righteousness then they will be plucked off.

That is why I say that false Christianity is the Anti Christ. They teach that you no longer have to be lawful but only to believe. Then they teach false worship such as Christmas, Easter and Sunday sabbath which are an abomination. They have crosses, flags, crucifixes, statues and other idols in their worship. They call on a false name that didn't exist even four hundred years ago. They teach that to be lawful is a sin and that sin is what you make it. A false Christianity that sets itself up as the teacher of God's word yet preach lies which is blasphemy. They forsake the Laws of Elohim for the traditions of men.

And to comment on the hell question below.
Hell is a word translated from a few different words. Sheol and Hades (Grave), Gehenna (a burning waste dump) and Tartaroo (a holding place for fallen angels). Most people wrongfully equate Hell with eternal suffering but that would mean eternal life also and this is not what Scripture teaches. What we think of as Hell is really the Lake Of Fire where the wicked, those who are not written in to book of life, are thrown and are burned up which is the second death.

What you really need to look into is Outer Darkness which seems to be reserved for bad servants. "For as many have sinned without law will also perish without law and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law." "For not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of Elohim, but the DOERS of the law will be justified."

Reading isn't enough, you must study to show yourself approved and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. My advice is to put off what you have learned about Scripture from the world and go to the source with guidance from the Holy Spirit and search for truth. Then you may learn what this means: "The Truth shall set you free".

"it doesn't matter how much

"it doesn't matter how much you claim to believe in Messiah"

That is a true statement. But the Bible doesn't say to believe in messiah to be saved. It says "Believe ON the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved".

You can believe in a historical messiah. That will do you no good. Or you can "confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
