Over two thousand years ago the Seed - Word of God was manifested in flesh in the person of Jesus Christ; and the spirit of Antichrist was made flesh in Judas, called the Son of Perdition. Just after the birth of the "True" church on the Day of Pentecost, the spirit of Antichrist began to move again - this time in the Garden of God's New Creation. In the Scriptures noted above the Apostle spoke of "the" Antichrist "to Come" and of the presence of 'many Antichrists' among them already. Paul, in 2 Thess. 2:7 made reference to the "Mystery of Iniquity" which was"already"at work in the church. Through the cycles of history this"Mystery of Iniquity" would, according to prophecy come to it's consummation in the person of "The" Antichrist being revealed, even the Son of Perdition,"whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power and signs and 'lying' wonders"...opposing the True Revelation of God (2 Thess. 2:9-12).
In our previous teachings under the Great Tribulation, weve been able to see who goes through the great tribulation, why will they go through it, etc. Today we will be looking at a very important personality in the great tribulation, The Antichrist... Most Christian are familiar with that name but only few has an indepth understanding of who He is. So, before we go into what happens during the great Tribulation, let us take time to understand antichrists, the spirit of antichrist and how it has been in operation over the last two years, how to discern the spirit of Antichrist, then we now see who the Antichrist is in the light of the and prophecies. And we shall add recent end time news videos and screen shots of Oct 28th to Nov 3rd. We know it's been a while we post end time news update.
I believe if you take time to study patiently through this teaching, the Holy Spirit will give you revelation and deeper insights needed for the Translation.
Antichrists
1JOHN 2:18
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.
19 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.
Antichrists has been around since the early church. They were part of the original church but left to follow their own beliefs and thus set up an alternative or rival church system. Like Judas, they were followers of Christ until led astray, in his case, by the love of money. So a rich church system becomes a possible candidate for the antichrist system. Today Christians pursue wealth and use their prosperity as proof of God’s blessing. But the early church gave away its wealth.
This is the invisible power of the antichrist that has been at work since the beginning in the garden of Eden. This Spirit is always working against the Truth and true manifestation of Jesus Christ. After the promise of the seed of the woman has been given by God in the Garden of Eden, Satan did not waste any time. He swung into action destroying anybody suspected to be the seed of that woman who is capable of bruising his head.
Abel was the first suspect. Abel was seriuosly suspected to be the seed of the woman that will bruise the head of Satan. The suspicion became very high because of what happenend in Gen. 4:3-5 wherein God Accepted Abel's Sacrifice and rejected that of Cain.
In Gen.4:8, Cain rose up against Abel and slew him. Since Cain was the devil's seed before, its very easy to carry out his father mission. This was the beginning of the operation of the antichrist spirit. Abel was the first casuality and cain received a 'Mark' as the first seed of the antichrist.
Joseph was another suspected seed of the woman because of his rainbow coat and his dream of dominion over his brothers. Rainbow is a sign of God's covenant to man and for Joseph to have a coat of many colours like a rainbow and to have dominion over his brethren means that he is a covenant child and he became another suspected seed of the woman. The Spirit of the antichrist entered into his brethren and he was also threatened with death but God spared his life. There are many other seed of the woman that Satan threatened with death but God spared their lives.
It is Written.....
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.
The Seventh Church Age messenger, Bro William Marion Branham taught, and i quote...
"Across the many different scenes depicted by prophecy there comes the shadow of a figure that is dominating and deceptive. Under different names, like the assumed names of a criminal, this figure is revealed in Scripture - Son of the Morning, the Prince of Darkness, the Man of Sin -the Antichrist.The more we consider what the Scriptures have to say about this Son of Perdition, the more we realize the prominent part 'he' has played and continues to play in world history. The need to be warned of this character was so important and necessary that the Holy Spirit has caused much to be written concerning him in the Word."
"In Genesis 3:15 reference is made to "Serpent Seed" - that which was and is in opposition to the Seed of God. It was the 'spirit' of Antichrist in the Serpent opposing the "absolute" authority of the whole Word of God given to Adam and Eve inthe Garden. It was the 'spirit' of Antichrist in Cain opposing the "Spiritual Revelation" of that Word in Abel's sacrifice and worship. That 'spirit' has followed the Seed - Word of God all down through the ages, attempting to pervert the Word and lead the people into deception and false interpretations of the Word. There are many references to, and 'types' of the Antichrist throughout the Old Testament."
"In Revelation Chapters 2 and 3 John, the revelator, traces the path of the spirit of Antichrist through the Seven Church Ages.....
"In the First Age(Ephesus) he saw 'false apostles' and the 'DEEDS the Nicolaitanes' rise within the church, seeking to 'pervert' the True Gospel as Satan did through the Serpent in the Garden of Eden."
"In the Second Age(Smyrna)false ones arise again and are declared to be of "The Synagogue of Satan". Here we have Satan forming his"false church"within the framework of the"True Church".But a church without a 'doctrine' has no foundation. The Third Age would produce the"false doctrine"foundation for the"false church".
"In the Third Age(Pergamos)we find 'Satan's Seat', the 'doctrine' of Balaam, and the 'doctrine' of the Nicolaitanes. The single doctrine which unites the false church is that which came out of the mouth of the dragon, beast and false prophet- three unclean spirits like frogs - the doctrine of the trinity (Revelation 16:13). Of course a prophet is needed to proclaim (interpret) that doctrine. Let's see what the next Age produces."
"In the Fourth Age(Thyatira),a 'prophetess' (organized religion, now well established) rises on the scene, teaching (through her false prophets) the false doctrine of the false church, seducing and causing the people to committ spiritual fornication. In this age God pronounced His judgment - Death - to the false church."
"In the Fifth Age(Sardis), the spirit of antichrist, preaching his false doctrines is challenged by the Word (Gospel) of "Justification by faith". The few "true" believers in this Age were exhorted to"Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die..."A few remained faithful, holding forth the Light."
"In the Sixth Age(Philadelphia)we find the 'True' Church still wrestling against the spirit of Antichrist in the false church. Those identified with the false church, under the influence of the spirit of the Antichrist and his false doctrine, continue to out-number the True Believers. But here, at the end of this Sixth Age God sets before them an open door"that no man can shut". It is the escape route for those"with little strength, who have kept His Word, and hast not denied His Name.
"In the last Age through the Ministry of Malachi 4:5-6; Luke 17:30 and Revelation 10:1-7, God pulls the elected Bride through this Open door of the Revealed Word and leaves the false church in it's deplorable condition"
"In the Seventh and last Age(Laodicea), the false church takes preeminence over the True Church.The false church system thinks of itself as being'rich and increased with goods...; but Christ said she was..."wretched, and miserable, and poor, and BLIND, and NAKED"; and the worst part being that she "KNEW IT NOT".
We find Christ on the outside, knocking, calling, not to the church, but to the Individual..."...if any man hear my voice (Word)..."(Notice Revelation 3:14-22)"
"The spirit of Antichrist now controls the church as it did Eve in the Garden - interpreting to her the Word; but in it all God is, through the open door of His Revealed Word in this hour, calling out a Bride in His likeness - the Word. Praise the Lord!In 2 Thess. 2, Paul speaks of the revealing of the presence (parousia) of the Antichrist in the last days, coinciding with the Revelation of the Presence of Christ in His Bride in 1 Thess. 4:16. In the Book of Revelation the Antichrist is referred to as the "Beast" that ascends out of the bottomless pit to receive worship (Rev. 13:4)."

DISCERNING THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST
"We are not supposed to believe everything we see and hear simply because it sounds spiritual or because it’s in the Church." We are counselled to use discernment.
And based on 1 John 4:1-3, we are to understand that every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ came in the flesh is of God and every spirit which does not is the spirit of Antichrist.
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist , which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world"
(1 John 4:1-3).
The Church isn’t discerning the spirits of Antichrist like it should because we have misunderstood the meaning of this Scripture.
Christians have assumed that it would be easy to discern spirits, but without understanding the true meaning of these verses, the difference between the Spirit of God and the spirit of the Antichrist will not be properly discerned. What we should be judging is not the obvious, blatant, black lies around us but simply a subtle lack of truth. And yet, how can we expose a subtle lie if we don’t know the truth ourselves?
There is something very important we must see in this phrase, "every spirit that does not confess… is the spirit of Antichrist." What the spirit of Antichrist openly confesses is not as dangerous or hard to discern as what they don’t say . This is why discerning the spirit of Antichrist is not as obvious as we’ve assumed.
"Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God" (1 John 4:2-3).
The word "confess" carries with it the meaning of agreement. What the Holy Spirit says and does will always "agree" with everything Jesus said and did in the flesh. We must be careful. The spirit of Antichrist won’t always openly disagree with what Jesus did in the flesh, but may, more likely, subtly neglect to agree with Him. It is not the obvious words of disagreement that signal to us the presence of false doctrine.
it doesn’t take much discernment at all to see the blatantly obvious. It is not hard to discern those who openly and outwardly deny that Jesus came in the flesh. Cults and religions which openly deny that Jesus was the Son of God or those who openly deny He was in fact God with us, are of little threat to the Church.
It is the subtle soft words of emptiness within the Church which need to be exposed first. Those which do not openly testify of Jesus’ true character. Actually, the lack of words of agreement are the most dangerous and the most deceptive.
Just because words spoken by Christian leaders sound spiritual doesn’t mean they should be heeded. The spirits of Antichrist within the Church will confess many spiritual things. They will even quote much of the Bible. They will perform signs and wonders which fascinate the soul. They will appear as apostles, prophets, and pastors, but they will avoid pointing us to the fact that Jesus Christ was the complete revelation of God’s will and character in the flesh.
The words and miracles of the Holy Spirit will always agree with the concepts Jesus revealed in the flesh. Ministers under the influence of the spirit of Antichrist will not openly confess this. They will usually confess many spiritual sounding words and do many awesome looking things within the Church. However, these messages and manifestations will clash with the revelation of Christ because they are empty of the Living Word and the Gospel of Christ.
"Test the spirits, whether they are of God…"
(1 John 4:1).
John the Apostle is writing this letter to Christians. He is not talking about testing or looking outside the boundaries of the Church. We need to take his advice and test the spirits within the Church. Some will call our obedient testing, "unbelief." Some will call us "miracle haters." But don’t be discouraged. Go ahead and test!
A true prophet (leader) won’t be shaken when tested according to the Word, but a false prophet will get very defensive and nervous. Don’t be afraid to examine miracles either. A true miracle of God won’t fall apart simply because we examine it but a lying wonder sure will. In these last days, Christians need to walk in sharper perception than ever before.
"For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect" (Matthew 24:24).
We are dealing with something more subtle and devious than we first thought. There is a need to scripturally expose antichrist doctrines because they are well hidden within our Christian traditions. How many of us would easily admit that it’s possible for a child of God to be deceived? We usually consider this possibility to be very remote.
The Bible clearly teaches us that the last days are going to be a time of great deception, a great falling away, and a heaping up of teachers that tickle the ears. So why do we go on as if these Scriptures don’t apply to Christians?
We always assume that antichrist teachings and attitudes are only going to deceive those who are outside our church group? We justify our beliefs by comparing our doctrines with those of our own camp. We have failed to compare ourselves to the
doctrine of Christ. If deception was so easy to detect, then why would the Bible include so much information about it? Why would Jesus warn us about the deception in the last days by saying, "take heed, watch out, and beware?" Wouldn’t we be better off if we listened to Him?
NOTE:
A person who is deceived is blinded by ignorance. That is why lack of knowledge is the same as darkness and deception. The lack of the light and the absence of truth equate spiritual blindness.
In the Scriptures the Apostle spoke of "the" Antichrist "to Come" and of the presence of 'many Antichrists' among them already. Paul, in 2 Thess. 2:7 made reference to the "Mystery of Iniquity" which was "already" at work in the church. Through the cycles of history this "Mystery of Iniquity" would, according to prophecy come to it's consummation in the person of "The" Antichrist.
The antichrist man is called the Son of Perdition, "whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power and signs and 'lying' wonders" ...opposing the True Revelation of God (2 Thess. 2:9-12).
The antichrist --anything anti is against. So antichrist is against the Christ, the Word.
Satan felt he has not achieved much as a spirit (i.e The antichrist spirit which already at work since early church till now) because his operation as a spirit is indirect, so he decided to change from being an ordinary spirit that cannot be seen and touched into a man that can be touched and that can speak. To do this, he needed a body, a comlete human being to incarnate so that he can manifest physically as a man. The body Satan will use for this dirty job is the body of a man which we refer to as the antichrist man.
The real antichrist is satan who was formerly lucifer who became the devil. He is the one who is against Christ, his antichrist activities started as spirit and has operated as a spirit for many ages but at the end of the ages he will operate as a man. And this time is at hand.
As Jesus Christ is the fullness of the Godhead bodily so is the antichrist man the fullness of Satan bodily.
In our next teaching we want to see in details everything concerning this antichrist man, his system and operations during the great tribulation. We shall be looking into his race, personality, hus connection with the Jews, middle east, Rome, Europe, Blocks of Nations, then we look at his role in one world religion, one world government, one world economy, and his rising to power and connection of his rising to the Rapture, and lots more.
