(OPINION) Charisma – Among the writings of the Old Testament prophets, Moses is named in Scripture 768 times, while Abram or Abraham’s name is mentioned 303 times. The one individual who holds more predictions about His appearance and ministry throughout the Scriptures is the promised Messiah. The only other person who receives such attention in the biblical prophetic Scriptures is a person identified as the final prince of darkness called the Antichrist.

There are few Christians in America today who have not heard the term Antichrist. The average Christian in the Western Hemisphere who has read prophecy books watched end-time DVDs or viewed apocalyptic-oriented television specials understands four basic facts revealed in Scripture about the coming Antichrist. They are:

  • The Antichrist is a man who will form a final empire at the end of the age.
  • The Antichrist will make a treaty with Israel for seven years.
  • The Antichrist will eventually set up his kingdom in Jerusalem.
  • The Antichrist will be involved in the final battle called Armageddon.

Two biblical prophets, Daniel and the apostle John give numerous details in their writings and prophetic visions concerning this man’s rise to power, his realm of influence, and his violent reaction to those who reject his mission. Much of the church’s historical understanding of this man comes from two prophetic books, Daniel and Revelation.

After studying this subject for more than 34 years, I have discovered many facts about this topic that are very clear in prophetic scriptures. I have also concluded that some church teachings from the past were based more on men’s traditions or on “private interpretations” handed down from generation to generation. For example, have you ever attended a prophetic conference, read a prophetic book, or came across research that taught the following?

  • The Antichrist will be a Jew from the tribe of Dan.
  • The Antichrist will rebuild a temple for the Jews on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

These theories are based on individual interpretations or traditional theological ideas handed down for generations from a few early church fathers’ specific interpretations. I firmly believe the following is an accurate description of coming events related to the Antichrist: READ MORE
