Antichrist
The term "Antichrist" appears primarily in the New Testament, specifically in the letters of John, where it denotes a figure or spirit that opposes Christ and His teachings. In 1 John 2:18, the Apostle John warns that "as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, so now many Antichrists have come." This suggests that the concept of the Antichrist is not limited to a singular figure but includes anyone who denies the Father and the Son (1 John 2:22) and promotes false teachings about Christ. The term "Antichrist" itself derives from the Greek prefix "anti," meaning "against" or "in place of," indicating that these individuals or forces actively oppose or seek to replace the true Christ.In broader eschatological contexts, the Antichrist is often associated with a future end-time figure who will embody ultimate opposition to God and lead many astray. This is reflected in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, where Paul speaks of a "man of sin" who will exalt himself against all that is called God. This figure is often interpreted as a culmination of the spirit of Antichrist represented in various historical figures and movements throughout church history. Thus, the Antichrist symbolizes both a present reality of opposition to Christ and a prophetic anticipation of a future adversary leading the final rebellion against God.
