Anyway back to the Anti-Christ.

In Revelation Chapter 13 we are introduced to THE ANTI-CHRISTS. Once again the plural is intentional.

Satan is the dragon who waits on the shore of the sea.

Out of the sea comes the first beast, 7 heads, 10 horns crowns, Leopard, bear, and lion. One head is wounded but recovers. This beast has political power and rages war on God's Holy people.

Out of the earth comes the second beast, with horns of a lamb and the voice of the dragon. He had the power of miracles. He ordered the world to worship the first beast and made a statue of it so that it could command that those who did not worship would die. This beast gives the mark 666. In chapter 16:13 & chapter 19:20 he is identified as the false prophet.

These three form an unholy trinity.

So do not look for one anti christ, for there are many that do the work of the Anti Christs and they themsleves become anti christs. Clear as mud right!!

This is why you must search out the Truth and with it arm yourself against The Anti-Christs. Don't be deceived by them.

what do you think it means when the bible talks to the scholars and tells them the name of the beast is 666? I know that 6= imperfect or incomplete and 3=magnifying or emphases? but do you think there is more to it that we dont understand yet? like 666= joe doe (real name of person goverment or religon or something else)?

But who are the antichrists?...You say one has political powers? This coulp mean any politition could it not? They all seem like antichrists to me.

HA!!! finaly someone who understands where i come from!!! I Dont think God intended for us to be lead around by humans or have human interperater to tell us the will of God!!! i think God wants us to seek Him first and the Kingdom of God then the rest falls into place!!! not the blind leading the blind in a MIND field!!!

An anti christ is anyone who leads people away from the belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

The anti christ will be someone whom people worship as a god and turn away from the God in order to do so.

It may or may not be a politican.

Beast in prophesy is a country
666 is it's mark something that encompasses the thoughts and actions of everyone who turns their back on God and towards the power of the country, whether economic, political or religious.

A sign of the end of times is when the beast(country) will control the world economy, politics, and religion.

Yes I belive this.

False messiah's were a sign of the first coming will it be a sign for the second?

Priest thinks he's Jesus Christ <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Well we are living in the end times - the signs are all around us to see.

I also saw a headline that the Virgin Mary was being seen everywhere but could not access the video article. Anyone know anything about this?

When I was a little girl I overheard my mom saying that she believed that it was a terrible time to raise kids. She meant that the world was so filled of crime and bad things. I thought she meant the world was coming to an end was had a hard time sleeping. When your young the rapture is a scary thing..... not sure why they taught it in Sunday School.
