for a brief period, who will be the Antichrist. The third form is the
spirit of Antichrist. The spirit of Antichrist is the spirit that
operates through every Antichrist.

And John has given us certain marks of the spirit of Antichrist which
are very important. First of all, it starts in association with God's
people. For John says in 1st epistle of John chapter 2 verse 19, They,
the Antichrists, went out from us, but they were not of us.

For if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they
went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
So Antichrist always begins in some way in association with the people
of God.

But it doesn't really belong there and in due course that will be made
manifest. That's one mark of the spirit of Antichrist. The second one is
that it denies that Jesus is the Messiah.

First John 2 verse 22, Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the
Messiah? He is Antichrist. And then John continues with the third mark.
He is Antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

This is very important. Antichrist does not deny the existence of God.
In fact he claims to be God's representative.

What he does deny is the relationship of the Father and the Son within
the Godhead. And wherever you encounter the denial of that, you are
probably facing the spirit of Antichrist. And the fourth mark of
Antichrist which is given in 1 John chapter 4 is that it denies Messiah
has come.

Probably believes in a Messiah who will come, but denies that Messiah
has already come.
