Who is the AntiChrist?

Reading: Nehemiah 9-10 and 1 John 2

Scripture: 1 John 2:22, Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

Thoughts: Most of the time when I hear about the antichrist, it is in reference to a single person. This single entity in Revelation is referred to as the Beast. Here in 1 John he is saying that the antichrist is not a single entity but anyone who denies Jesus as Christ or anyone denying the Father and Son. Does not matter what political affiliation you have, what you believe about sexuality or race relations, if someone denies Jesus as Christ or the Father and Son, they will lead you astray. We need to remember that Matthew 7:22-23 talks about those who say, " Didn’t I do these things in your name? And he will declare I never knew you. We need to be in a relationship with God that he knows us and we know and seek Him when the last days come we will not be told to leave. Careful who you listen to and verify everything through the Word of God.

Prayer: Father God you are the beginning and the end, Jesus is the Christ, The Way, the Truth, and The Life. The only way to the father. I thank you for sending your Son to make the way for a sinner like me to be forgiven and grafted into the family. I ask that you help me find the root of my anger so that it can be removed Help me to be more like you and walk in your ways.
