Kingdom Disciples

Many Christians will abandon the faith when the Lawless One, the Son of Destruction, places himself in the Sanctuary of God . Before Jesus returns and judges the nations, a powerful deceiver will appear. He will lead many believers to deviate from the true faith and betray their Savior. His identity “ will be revealed ” when he takes his place in the Church.

L'Esprit de l'Antéchrist suscite des séducteurs dans l'Église, mais un Maître Séducteur final apparaîtra à la fin de l'âge . L'apôtre Jean a appliqué le terme “ antéchrists ”, au pluriel, à de faux enseignants qui perturbaient ses congrégations, des trompeurs qui niaient que “ Jésus est le Christ ” et “ est venu dans la chair .” Ils étaient animés par “ l'Esprit de l'Antéchrist ” qui opère dans le monde depuis le début de l'histoire humaine.

The Spirit of the Antichrist is raising up deceivers in the Church, but a final Master Deceiver will appear at the end of the age . The Apostle John applied the term “ antichrists ”, plural, to false teachers who were disrupting his congregations, deceivers who denied that “ Jesus is the Christ ” and “ came in the flesh .” They were driven by the “ Spirit of the Antichrist ” that has been operating in the world since the beginning of human history.

Depuis sa fondation, Satan a envoyé de faux christs et de faux prophètes pour détruire le Corps du Christ de l'intérieur . La prédication populaire dépeint l'Antéchrist comme un leader mondial totalitaire déterminé à subjuguer les nations de la Terre. Bien que cela puisse s'avérer être le cas, le Nouveau Testament est beaucoup plus préoccupé par les trompeurs et “ les faux oints ” qui travaillent à l'intérieur de l'Église, provoquant confsion et apostasie.

Since it was founded, Satan has sent counterfeit christs and false prophets to destroy the Body of Christ from the inside . Popular preaching portrays the Antichrist as a totalitarian global leader bent on subjugating the nations of the Earth. While this may turn out to be the case, the New Testament is far more concerned with deceivers and “ false anointed ones ” who work inside the Church, causing confusion and apostasy.

L'Esprit de l'Antéchrist travaille à détruire l'Église par des tromperies propagées par de faux enseignants et des charlatans . Dans la prédication populaire, l'Antéchrist est un tyran politique déterminé à conquérir le monde. Cependant, seul l'apôtre Jean utilise le terme ‘Antéchrist’, et il l'applique aux faux enseignants originaires de ses congrégations.

The Spirit of Antichrist is working to destroy the church through deceptions spread by false teachers and charlatans . In popular preaching, the Antichrist is a political tyrant determined to conquer the world. However, only the Apostle John uses the term ‘Antichrist’, and he applies it to false teachers who originated in his congregations.

To identify the Antichrist, we must first understand what the relevant passages of the Bible say about him, his methods, and his objectives . The subject of the Antichrist raises many questions. Who is he? When will he appear? How will we recognize him? In popular culture, he is a global political leader who uses military might to subjugate other nations and attack the modern nation of Israel.

Throughout the present age, the Church is being plagued by deceivers from within who are sent to destroy the Body of Christ . The Greek term translated as “ Antichrist ” in English versions of the New Testament is found only in two of John’s letters. In his first epistle, John warns his audience: “ It is the Last Hour; and just as you heard that Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come .” John did not deny that an individual “ Antichrist ” would come. His point was that many “ antichrists ” were (and are) active in the Church.

In his first epistle, John declares it is the  Last Hour , a period elsewhere in the New Testament called the “ Last Days .” As evidence of this, he points to the presence of false teachers who are disrupting the congregations under his care. These deceivers are the products and instruments of the “ Spirit of Antichrist ” that is active already in the world, and these very same men are forerunners of the final “ Antichrist ” who is yet to come.
