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. 2 John, Chapter 1, verse 7.
This was an interesting passage for me because I
have heard people talk over the years of the antichrist. I think their comments were always directed
to the reference of the antichrist in Revelation. This passage makes me aware that the
antichrist isn’t just one particular person.
It’s anyone who deceives people and leads them astray from God.
Here are some related passages:
*For false
Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to
seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
But take ye heed: behold I have foretold you all things. Mark, Chapter 13, verses 22-23.
*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 in the world. 1 John, Chapter 4, verses 1-3.
*For there
shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very
elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold,
He is in the desert; go not forth: behold, He is in the secret chambers;
believe it not. For as the lightning
cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming
of the Son of Man be. Matthew, Chapter
24, 24-27.
