by Rev. Michael Lindsey,
Dean o f North Portland Bible College
Antichrist! The term has become a
’buzz' word in Christian circles for an
evil, menacing force which may appear
any moment, to fulfill the signs and
prophecies of the book of Revelation.
But, the word antichrist only occurs in
the Scripture in I John. That apostle
writes "Dear children, this is the last
hour; and as you have heard that the
antichrist is coming, even how many
antichrists have come." (I John 2:18,
N.I.V.) It was common knowledge, then,
that one particular person would appear
as antichrist, but he had not yet been
revealed. That person was probably the
one referred to by Daniel (11:36-39),
and is surely described by the Lord Jesus
and the Apostle Paul. Our Lord warned
his disciples "At that time if anyone says
to you, Took, here is the Christ!' or
'There he is!' do not believe it. For false
Christs and false prophets will appear
and perform great signs and m iracles..."
(Matthew 24:23-24).
The word antichrist does not mean
'someone who opposes Jesus Christ'.
Though that is certainly true, as far as it
goes. The anti- prefix originally meant
'to take the place o f, 'to supplant'; so, an
antichrist is someone who wants to take
Christ's place in honor and glory. And
down through the pages of church his
tory, many false Christs (messiahs) have
been identified, including early Roman
emperors Nero and Diocletian, some
heretics, and political leaders like Ad
olph Hitler or Idi Amin. Martin Luther
even declared one of the popes to be the
antichrist! But, the antichrist spoken of
by the Apostle John is still to come.
Our Sunday school lesson (next
Sunday in the uniform series) describes
t-n the antichrist as a "man of sin" (KJV) or
"man of lawlessness" (NIV). Paul wrote
n in IITHESS ALONI ANS 2:1 -15 to calm
Ml the fears of the Christians there, that the
IT .
end times ("the day of the Lord", verse 2)
had already fallen on them, and that God
would not deliver them. You see, Paul
had already told them to look forward to
Christ's rcturn-to "be alert and self-
controlled" (I Thcss. 5:6)--because, "the
day of the Lord will come like a thief in
the night" (verse 2). Now they were
getting confused by false teachers, who
were claiming that Paul was saying the
day of the Lord had already come (II
Thess. 2:1-2), and somehow they'd missed
the raputre!
Paul wanted his friends in Thessa-
lonica to have a clear understanding
about the future. If we read carefully, we
also can have a clear understanding of
God's plans in the last days. This pas
sage, in a modem translation, I recom
mend to be necessary reading, along
with the King James Version.
First, a great "falling away" will
occur (better translated "rebellion" or
"apostasy", verse 3). Since there have
always been some who have turned away
after once confessing Christ, we know
this future apostasy must be very great,
and probably sudden. I believe that this
apostasy will follow the rapture of the
true believers, described in I THESSA
LONIANS 4:13-17. Second, the anti
christ, a real "son of perdition", doomed
to destruction, will enjoy a time of promi
nence, claiming the power and glory
which belong to God alone (II Thess.
2:4). Finally, he will be destroyed with
just a word from the mouth of the Lord
Jesus (verse 8).
Let's not make the mistake of read
ing bible prophecies only for curiosity or
pride of knowledge. The antichrist has
not yet come, but there are many anti
christs, lodya-deceiving and leading
many good religious folk astray. If you
hear a person claiming to be a new
"incarnation " of the Christ, you can be
sure he is not from God. Don't get tangled
in his e rro r-it will only bring your own
destruction. Instead, hold on to Jesus
and his W ORD.

Spirit of God, Invisible but ever near, our souls aspire to Thee In adoring worship.
Thou art the Life of our life. We trust Thee-w ho art fully made known in Jesus Christ.
In sorrow we confess our unworthiness And we plead for Thy fatherly forgiveness.
It Is good-and we rejoice-to live In Thy visible world. Its beauty enthralls us. Its maj
esty awes us. Its wonder speaks to us of Thee. It is better-end we rejoice the more-
-to live In the world of spirit, the world which Thou dost fill with Thine eternal pres
ence; Father, of Thy presence over us, round about us, in us. We pray, in love, for our
fellow men. We are sure of Thy love for them. Thy love surpasseth all our understand
ing. We pray for the suffering, that they may find their pain assuaged by thoughts of
Thee; for the needy, that their helplessness and hunger may move to wise and joyful
for those who are enslaved and dwarfed and tortured by their own sins, that they may
find freedom and enlargement and peace In Thee. Give us perfect hearts to do Thy will
In the earth, O God. And then do Thou Thy will with us forever. Amen.
