The Anti-Christ

2 Thess. 2:6-8 SAYS

6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 2 Thess. 2:6-8

The Antichrist can’t emerge until the church is first removed. Some have falsely understood 2 Thess. 2:6-8 to say it’s the removal of the Holy Spirit from the earth. God’s not going to remove the Holy Spirit from the earth! Millions of people are going to come to Christ during the tribulation period, and no man can come to Christ apart from the work of the Holy Spirit. For when he has come Jesus said, he will convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment to come. So what is going to be removed? It's just my personal opinion that it is The church, he who is now restraining will continue to do so until we, the restraining force on the earth are removed then that lawless one, the Antichrist will be revealed.

WHERE IS THE ANTI-CHRIST FROM?

I don't believe that we can know where the anti-christ comes from. There is speculation that he would be half-Jew. An Arab is technically half-Jew. There’s not good evidence on that. I will say that I tend to believe that this will be a person of World wide influence. Not Obama. Not Hilary. The USA has a bad reputation in the world at the moment. I’m not so sure that the anti-christ will be a political leader from the US or Europe or anywhere. I think he will be a person that does something like cures cancer once and for all, for everyone in a short amount of time. Or something like a person who creates a new fuel to power the entire world safely, cheaply and cleanly.

Just some opinions.

It's good to hear your opinion on this. I've been thinking a lot about this topic lately.

Interesting topic of discussion. I believe he or she, seeing as satan tends to take on many forms to look good to the world, would be a influencial person. Rumor has it that Oprah is the anti-christ. Whether true or not, she has a huge influence over millions of people. In my opinion, the person who cures cancer would be a hero. Just too bad they couldnt have been around to help my dad.
