Clues of the Anti-christ Appearance (part 4)

 

4. Opposition to Jesus Christ

SLIDE 4 OF 8

As already mentioned, “Christ” refers to the Messiah, so the “antichrist” would be a person who actively opposes the Messiah, fulfilled in King Jesus. To recognize the Antichrist, we must comprehend his rejection of any worship of the true God, as outlined in 1 John 2:22.

In his first letter to the Church, the apostle John warns believers against those who deny that Jesus is the Christ, denying both the Father and the Son. This denial is not merely a theological disagreement but a deliberate rejection of the foundational truth of Christian faith—that Jesus Christ is the incarnate Son of God, deserving of worship and adoration. Because the Antichrist sets himself up as a false messiah to be worshipped, he will actively resist any worship of God or truth speaking.

God, in his love, allows people to choose to worship him, even though he alone is worthy. God doesn’t force anyone in this life to bow the knee. The Antichrist won’t give people a choice. Worshipping God will threaten his lies, which he can’t allow.

For Christians, worshipping God alone is a form of resistance, as Daniel prayed when the law forbade it, and his three friends refused to bow to Nebuchadnezzar’s massive statue. Not because we stand against any government but because we must give honor and submit to the only God. This will prove a difficult time for us in the last few days, so we need to rest in the Holy Spirit’s power and the fellowship of the saints for strength.
