What Does the Bible Really Say About the Antichrist?: How Can We Identify the Antichrist? Who Is the Antichrist? When Is the Antichrist to Appear?

Antichrist means "against" or "instead of Christ." It occurs five times, singular and plural, all of them in First and Second John. However, even though John did not write his letters until about 98 C.E., when he was close to one hundred years old, the subject was not new among the Christians. Did Jesus warn his disciples about the antichrist? Does the Bible refer to only one antichrist? Is the arrival the antichrist only in some future time? What are some of the identifying characteristics of the antichrist? What has the antichrist done if he has been here all along, or what will the antichrist do if he is yet to come? Why is it important that we identify the antichrist? Andrews will answer these questions and many more.
