Who the Antichrist is and where to find him in the Bible

[Quasar93]

What is the Antichrist known as in the Bible?

1 Jn.2:18 is the only place in the Bible where the term Antichrist is found, described as many.  But the one Satan will give his throne, power and authority to, is referred to by a number of different terms as recorded below, and where to find them:

1. He is the "little horn" in Dan.7:8; 

2. He is known as a "stern faced king, in Dan.8:23.

3. He is all three of the "he's" in Dan.9:27.

4. He is known as the willful king in Dan.11:36-45.

 5. In 2 Thess.2:3, 4, he is referred to as "the man of lawlessness." 

.6.  In 2 Thess.2:8-9, he is referred to as the "lawless one." 

.7.  In Rev.11:7; 17:3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 16 and 17, he is called the beast. 

  8.  In Rev.13:1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, he is called the beast out of the Sea.

 9.  He is cast into the lake of fire, in Rev.19:20.

The beast out of the earth in Rev.13:11-17 is the False Prophet and the activity he is involved in:

11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name"

When Jesus returns in His second coming with His armies from heaven, He will defeat both beasts, the Antichrist and the False Prophet, Throw them in the lake of fire, and destroy the armies of the ten horns/nations allied to them, recorded in Rev.19:11-21.

People have tried to play pin the tail on the Antichrist for quite sometime. They have said Obama, Putin and Donald Trump is the Antichrist and others. The Bible does not really say where the Antichrist will come from. It has all been speculation. Is the Antichrist alive today? It is possible. He will not be be revealed until the beginning of the last 3 1/2 years of the seven year tribulation.

Well yes, and well perhaps no. Just a question (for all) in my own mind is:  If the anti-Christ is a personality a being, a man, and not a group or movement of a nation or nations, is he not revealed from the beginning of the seven years?  And later found to be a betrayer some three and a half years into the covenant he/it makes with the nation of Israel that will allow for the unbelieving Jews to make sacrifices at the new temple?

Won't the anti-Christ be known even as he is heralded for making the reinstitution of sacrifices by unbelieving Jews possible yet again? He will be almost universally heralded, but won't it be known to the world at large?

Seems to me the anti-Christ is one human being, not a group, nor entity of nations, and is likely alive in flesh today.  But the presence of the  physical anti-Christ could be  an event to come many centuries away from now. It just feels like it must happen soon and very soon.

Though it especially  irritates Roman Catholics and I understand  and sympathize with why, I think it will be  a pope of the popedom sitting on the seven hills of Rome that will bring about the covenant, and most likely is the anti-Christ himself.  But like missmuffett stated it is like pinning the tail on the donkey even as one might try to lift a corner of the blindfold while disoriented by the spinning around that is happening today.

 

Hang on my child, joy comes in the morning- Good tune to sing from the heart for hard days to come.

He is supernatural,   he is not born in a  fleshly body for he has his own body.  

Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

He was created the most beautiful cherub, the full pattern. 

Eze 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

2 John 1:7

He rides in on a white horse with a bow but no arrows Revelation 6:2

The first beast. The one from the sea Revelation 13.

The end times false messiah. And a real person.

[Daniel 11:36]

Notice this .... the beast and Satan are different [Revelation 13:1-4]

The beast will be sent to the abyss at the battle of Armageddon [Revelation 19:19-20]

Satan will then be sent to the abyss during the Lord's millennial kingdom upon the earth [Revelation 20:1-3]

Hi Quasar93

Good scriptures there, but it should say Christ will defeat the kingdom of the 10 kings, and the False Prophet.  Both are working together.  Both are beasts, one is a kingdom, and the other a man.

The antichrist is the "spirit" that goes against Christ, and had already come when Christ came into the world.  This spirit goes into all who oppose the "Word of God" made flesh, and his doctrine.  Antichrist is a general term. 

The 10 Kings and their kingdom are antichrist, the FP is antichrist, the world is antichrist, all who refuse the light which Christ is and gives freely to the world are antichrist.

 

1 John 2:22   Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

 

1 John 4:3   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.

 

2 John 1:7   For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Yes, the Antichrist is working through Satan. It is the unholy trinity. Satan, the Antichrist and the false prophet. All working together in the seven year tribulation. Three separate persons.

Negative.  The beast out of the sea, the Antichrist, in Rev.13:1-2 is the "he" who triggers the tribulation, comes out of the Abyss before then, as recorded in Rev.17:8.  He is the same person as the rider on the white horse in Rev.6:2.  In Rev.19:20, Jesus will throw him into the lake of fire, along with the False Prophet.
