1 John 4:4 “You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.”

1 John Series 1 John 4:2-3 The Greatest False Teacher of All Time, The Antichrist. Pt. 1

Dan 11:32, “By smooth words he will turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will display strength and take action.”

The Future Antichrist of the Tribulation.

1. The time frame of the coming of the Antichrist.

God's plan for the history of the human race includes various time frames called dispensations. Eph 1:10; 3:2, 9; Col 1:25; 1 Cor 9:17; 1 Tim 1:4.

2. Who is the Antichrist?

2. Who is the Antichrist? He is one person, an unbeliever functioning under the cosmic system, who sells himself out to the devil eventually being possessed by him.

3. He is called by over 30 titles, including; "The man of lawlessness, the son of destruction" 2 Thes 2:3

* The beast from the sea, Rev 13:1-10 (his political title);

* The beast from the sea, Rev 13:1-10 (his political title); * The beast, Rev 17:8-13 (his religious title);

* The beast from the sea, Rev 13:1-10 (his political title); * The beast, Rev 17:8-13 (his religious title); * The beast on whom the scarlet woman rides. Rev 17:1-7

* The little horn, Dan 7:8-9,

* The little horn, Dan 7:8-9, * The abomination of desolation, Mat 24:15.

* The little horn, Dan 7:8-9, * The abomination of desolation, Mat 24:15. * The prince that shall come, Dan 9:26-27.

* The little horn, Dan 7:8-9, * The abomination of desolation, Mat 24:15. * The prince that shall come, Dan 9: * The prince of Tyre, Ezek 28:1-10.

4. The Antichrist is one of two great dictators who emerge in the Tribulation. He is from the revived Roman Empire and the False Prophet from Israel.

5. The Jewish dictator of the Tribulation. He too is an antichrist because he promotes the Antichrist as the Christ, Rev 13:12.

He too has several titles:

He too has several titles: * Dan the serpent, Gen 49:16-17;

He too has several titles: * Dan the serpent, Gen 49:16-17; * The false prophet, Rev 16:13, 19:20, 20:10.

He too has several titles: * Dan the serpent, Gen 49:16-17; * The false prophet, Rev 16:13, 19:20, 20:10. * The second beast, Rev 13:11-17.

John is not trying to identify either of these Beasts as antichrist, but to warn any who would deny the person of Christ that they are walking in that type of (false) system.
