General Application
Antichrist can be a title attributed to any individual who is seeking to replace Christ or is opposed to
Christ.
: Firstly there are scriptures which refer to Antichrist in a generic sense where “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists;
whereby we know that it is the last time” I John 2:18
“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. I John 2:22
In its true sense this could be applied to any individual, religion or system that denies that Jesus is the
Christos or the spoken word. This would apply to atheistic, humanistic and heretical groups who
believe that Jesus was just a man, or a created being and not the God Man. The world Christ comes
from the Greek word Christos which means the “spoken word”. The other application of antichrist in
this general sense are to those who deny the relationship between the Father and Son and thus could
lend itself in its broader sense to religions like Islam which deny biblical relationships of Jesus Christ
with God the Father and thus rob the Godhead of one its most intrinsic virtues.
Specific Application: Nature of the Antichrist:
Antichrist as a specific individual with colorful imagery and symbolism and as such it is impossible to
interpret such scriptures in isolation in reference to the identity of the Antichrist without a process of
assumption shaped by ones eschatological position and historical frame of reference. The scriptures
do not so much reveal the identity of the Antichrist but rather provide a description of his nature and
human characteristics.
Secondly there are those scriptures which refer to the “And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of
a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat and great authority” Revelation 13:2
“Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, whose
teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; and of
the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that
had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. Daniel 7:19-20
The Ultimate Empire will be gathering more information on this subject.
The Ultimate Empire.org has gathered information concerning the Anti Christ.
In the report “The Historical Progression of the Antichrist” a significant amount of material was spent
on understanding how the debate regarding the Antichrist has evolved since the time of Christ and
this then helped to set the context for addressing “Apostles of the New World Order” where you
viewed the increasing exposure on Barack Obama, Prince Charles of Wales and Javier Solana and the
arguments that justify their specific involvement with contributing to facilitating the coming New
World Order. At this stage it is necessary to fall back on a biblical perspective with a strong biblical
context to help provide a line of differentiation as to which biblical factors are non negotiable and
embedded requirements regarding the identity of the one whom will ultimately take full global
control of the coming new world order system.
An appraisal of scriptures that relates to the Antichrist shows that they fall into three categories.
