Nuggets from Occult Invasion—Preparation for Antichrist | thebereancall.org

It is often argued that Antichrist is not a person but a spirit. The Bible, however, makes it clear that while there is in fact a spirit of antichrist, and many lesser antichrists, there is also a specific man coming who will be the Antichrist and the very embodiment of evil. It is fruitless to speculate upon his identity because he can only be revealed in God’s time. Consider the following:

“And as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists…” (1 John:2:18).

“…that man of sin [will] be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God…that he might be revealed in his time…. And then shall that Wicked [one] be revealed…whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders…” (2 Thessalonians:2:3-9).

“And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and then that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and power was given him over all kindreds and tongues and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb…” (Revelation:13:6-8).
