What does the Bible say about the Antichrist?

1 John 2:18
Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

2 John 1:7
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

What does Antichrist mean? It can mean "against Christ" or "instead of Christ."

The Bible says there will be many antichrists. They denounce who Jesus is and don't believe that Jesus is the Son of God. But THE Antichrist plays a pivotal role in the end times. In the beginning of his political rein, the Antichrist is peaceful and joins nations together, but after 3.5 years and an attempt on his life, he becomes evil.

Come along as Father Dr. Tom, Brittany and Meredith discuss the Antichrist.

Tom, Brittany and Meredith cover a lot in this episode starting with, if there is no rapture, then what? We go through the tribulation and then we have the second coming of Jesus. what happens after Jesus comes back? Well, that depends. Do you believe in Jesus? Do you believe he died for your sins? Have you opened your heart to him and accepted him?

Who gets judged? Well, we all do. And the judgment tells us where we will spend eternity. Non Christians are judged as to whether they accepted Jesus or not. If they did, they are saved, but if not, then they suffer the consequences of rejection. Believers, however, are judged on their works as rewards in eternity. They are saved by Grace but their rewards are based on how they lived their life.

But before Jesus comes back and we get judged, we have to go through the tribulation. Do you think it has already started? We know the Great Tribulation lasts for 7 years and during that time, many people are deceived. Jesus reminds us time and time again "not to be deceived". At the current stage of the world, fake news is all the rage and AI complicates knowing truth from fiction.

But we know the Bible mentions, "have no fear" , 365 times. One for every day of the year. So, fear not.

We start episode 3 with the last part of Matthew 24.

Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the [s]Christ,’ or ‘He is over here,’ do not believe him. 24For false christs and false prophets will arise and will provide great [t]signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the [u]elect. 25Behold, I have told you in advance. 26So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them. 27For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man [v]be. 28Wherever the corpse is, there the [w]vultures will gather.

The Glorious Return

29“But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. 31And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET BLAST, and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

What about the rapture? When does that happen? Does it happen? What bible verse supports the claim that some will be save from having to go through the Tribulation?

What is the Tribulation? Tribulation in the bible refers to a time of great worldly suffering and persecution before the return of Jesus.

What does Jesus say about the end times? How will we know when the end times are near?

Matthew 24:4

4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a] spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.
