You can pretty much rest assured that
prophecy teachers (pastor, preacher, “prophet,” pundit, televangelist, and the
like) have little idea what they’re talking about when they use the phrase “the
Antichrist.” It’s a dead giveaway that any such person has sold out
dogmatically, uncritically, and close-mindedly to a particular system of
end-times theology rather than a purely biblical assessment of the issue.
Why such a strong conclusion over the
mere phrase “the Antichrist”?
Because no such character appears in
Scripture. Let me explain………
(Read full text at link below.)
Once the student of Scripture has
pursued what the Bible itself actually says about antichrist, he will be in
position to realize the many farces forced upon him by modern Christianity. He
or she will know that there is no such figure mentioned or predicted in the Bible
as “the Antichrist.” They will see through the myth.
Consequently, they will know that the
question, “Who is the Antichrist?” is a logical fallacy. It is a fallacy called
“complex question” of which we have written before. It is akin to asking, “Does
your spouse know you’re having an affair?” Answering either yes or no retains
the assumption that one is indeed having an affair, whether the spouse
knows it or not. The proper response is to criticize the question: “I reject
the assumption that I am cheating!”
Likewise, “I reject the assumption
that such a person as “the Antichrist” exists or will ever exist.” Scripture
simply does not speak of antichrist in that way, and the treatment of evil men
in Scripture as each themselves prophecies of such a figure is to beg the
question in the same way a hundred times. LaHaye’s “100 passages of Scripture” describing
“the Antichrist” are nothing but 100 fallacies until he can prove that such a
phantom exists.
Until they come clean, “the Antichrist”
is a phrase that tells me they have no idea what they’re talking about.
