Who is he? | |
What does the word Antichrist mean and who is he? The word Antichrist = [Antichristos] in the Greek language. Please use the KJV Bible and the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance to see the definitions of this word in the original language (Greek). In the English language “anti” means against something such as anti-abortion. Again, in the Greek language “anti” means instead of. Try the online version of the Concordance at the following website: http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html Anti = [anti], word G473 in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. It means “a primary particle; opposite, i.e. instead or because of (rarely in addition to):—for, in the room of.”. Christ = [Christos], word G5547 in the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. It means “son of God, the Messiah, the anointed one”. Why is the term “instead of Christ” so important? 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Transformed = [metaschematizo], Greek word G3345 in a Strong's Concordance. From G3326 and a derivative of G4976 to transfigure or disguise; figuratively, to apply (by accommodation):—transfer, transform (self). [This verse tells us that “Satan disguises himself as an angel of light,” it means that Satan capitalizes on our love of the light (God's truths) in order to deceive. He wants us to think that he is good, truthful, loving, and powerful – all the things that God is. To portray himself as a dark, devilish being with horns would not be very appealing to the majority of people (would that fool anyone?). Most people are not drawn to darkness, but to light. Therefore, Satan appears as a creature of light to draw us to himself and his lies]. Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. [Who is the Lamb? Who is the dragon? See John 1:29; Revelation 12:7, 9 and Revelation 21:27]. What is the sequence of events according to God's word? 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [verse 4 is very important, also]. 1. falling away = great apostasy. 2. The son of perdition is revealed, Satan/Antichrist disguised as an angel of light. 3. Then that day shall come. What day? Verse 1 of 2 Thessalonians 2 tells us. Mark 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, [This whole chapter is very important]. Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. What these verses in Mark 13 are saying is, after the tribulation of the Antichrist, the real Christ returns. | |
