Antichrist is Soon to Appear

Many things that are happening now are on a fast track, preparing the way for the antichrist.

I am convinced that he is alive today waiting for the final tragedy that will cause such fear in people that they will look for a world leader to save them. They will believe his lying wonders, while they willingly follow him into hell.

I have been noticing for a long time the propensity for most people including many believers, to look for a leader to tell them what to think and what to do. It is easier to allow others to determine what we should all believe than to think for ourselves according to the mind of Christ.

Since many people are more concerned about having friends and the love of family they are more likely to let go of truth to maintain their status in the group.

Groupthink is more often in error than individuals who ponder things based on truth. When the group becomes the measure of truth, thinking for oneself is frightening, one might lose something if they dare to use their discernment or evaluate things according to God's Word.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears, they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."

Born again believers will constantly be swimming against the tide. Because they are courageous enough to ponder everything they are more likely to make decisions that are in line with Christ as long as their guide book is the Word of God.

Those who are deeply invested in being accepted by family, friends and the culture as a whole are those who will be fooled and dominated by the antichrist.

2 Thessalonians 2:8-10 "…8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and FALSE wonder, 10 and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them.…"

How does someone avoid being fooled by the antichrist?

The simple answer is that becoming born again, changed into a new creation by Christ, is the only way to know false preachers, teachers, and miracles when we see them.

Everyone without Christ will fall for the lies and deceptions of the antichrist. If you don't believe this just take a look at the thousands and thousands of people who believe the false television preachers today. These are the same people who will love the antichrist, even believing that he is Christ.
