Hearing a matter before answering it (Proverbs 18:13)

Whether it’s sharing our faith or engaging in any conversation at all, we’re wise to make sure we understand what’s being spoken about before we weigh in on it! Today we take a look at this in relation to when we share our faith and answer the hard questions that come. Sometimes we’re prone to answering questions people aren’t asking!

Who (or what) is the Antichrist

Who (or what) is the Antichrist?

He is a person Spirit of antichrist (1 John 4) 2 Thessalonians 2, Revelation 13, Daniel: most often spoken of in personal terms Not a system, or government, though he will head both

He is a counterfeit Christ Matthew 24:4-5, 23-24 Counterfeit religion Counterfeit resurrection Counterfeit Trinity Counterfeit peace He will rise out of a revived Roman Empire Daniel 7 10 horns, 7 heads  Like a Caesar

Will he be Jewish? Deuteronomy 18:15-19 He will let them rebuild their temple (part of the covenant in Daniel 9:25-27?) Ascends from the sea of gentile nations (Cp. Revelation 17:15)

He will be worshiped by the world 2 Thessalonians 2: Revelation 13: He will be empowered by Satan Revelation 12:, 13:2 A great deceiver (cp. 2 Corinthians 4:4)

He (and the false prophet) will require the world’s allegiance and participation in his one world government/NWO Revelation 13:16-18

He will unite the world in rebellion against God Revelation 19 Psalm 2
