THE MYSTERY OF THE ANTICHRIST IS OPEN

 

Man knows not his time. As the fish caught in the destructive network, and as the birds get entangled, trapped in the sons of men snared in desperate times, when it suddenly finds them.

Ecclesiastes 9.12

Ignorance is one of the reasons our disasters.

This condition applies to the Antichrist: whether he has not caught any of all Christians in their networks, whether people will sing of Christ, or the Antichrist. Ignorance in this matter may, in the words of the ancient Prophet, lead person to perdition  ( Os 4.6 ) .

Christian peoples tortured and tormented each other without knowing, they serve Christ or the Antichrist.

Some believe that the Antichrist will come in the future.

However, based on the prophetic guidance suggests that he has already come and conquered the whole Christian world. Christians, who left without attention data in the Scriptures indicate, are under his power and carry out his will.

 

Prophecy about Antichrist

The apostle John had warned about the dangers of the Antichrist with the following words:

 

Kids! The last time. And as you have heard that Antichrist will come, and now many antichrists have appeared, we learn that last time.

1 John 2.18

 

The ANTICHRIST - means the enemy of Christ. This name refers to anyone who is against the teachings of Christ.

This is not only an enemy of Christ, but also someone who hypocritically professes Christ and under his name commit contra-christian deeds.

 

Thus:

-speaking of antichrist, which appeared, John was referring to the apostates from the live faith

-speaking of the Antichrist, which is soon to come, he meant the future rival antichrists power and system

The Apostle Paul talked about the appearance of the Antichrist ( 2 Thess 2.2-5 ) based on example prophecies of Daniel. To understand this prophecy, consider the symbols and their meaning.

 

Daniel's vision described in the text  Dan 7.2-8.

a) "fighting the winds" refers to the devastating war, popular uprisings and unrest  ( Jeremiah 4.11-13 )

b) "sea" or "water"-people, peoples, tribes and languages ( Rev 17.16 )

Four beasts from the sea-the four kingdoms: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome ( v.17 ).

After that, attention was drawn to the advent of Daniel specific authorities ( v.19-25 ) :

With the collapse of Rome to 10 kingdoms ( the Alemans, Franks, Burgundians, Zuev, Saxons, Visigoths, Lombards, Herulis, Vandals, Ostrogoths ) and there was this special power.

Note:  7 modern European States occurred from these tribes  -  Holland, France, Spain, Switzerland, England, Italy, Germany.

 

The new Government is designated a "little horn".

Against the backdrop of the power of Caesar slowly raised the power "successor of Peter" and eventually

eclipsed the power of the State, not only in Italy but throughout Europe (especially after the move from Rome to Constantinople, Constantine).

The rise of the little Horn is associated with the destruction of those who bowed to him (art. 24). The three kingdoms that have not recognized the supremacy of the Pope in spiritual and secular questions were destroyed:

493  -  Herulis

534  -  Vandals

538  -  Ostrogoths

After the Pope began wearing the Crown in solemn cases in memory of these events.

 

But he (the Pope) is guilty even in much else that indicates its characters AS ANTICHRIST.

The Apostle Paul said that "the mystery of lawlessness is already at work ( 2 Thess 2.7 ).

However, you should not think that until the sixth century was not the Antichrist. This definition classifies Xia primarily to the main enemy of Christ - the devil. BUT THE DEVIL DOES NOT OPEN, but uses the people like their guns ( Ephesus 2.2 ). He sought to master the mainly Christian chiefs and turn them into the antichrists, just as he drew the Apostle Judas Iscariot the traitor.

"Barely Apostles was dead, as dissolute spirit immediately broke into the Church, as in an empty House with no facilities and is easily capable of attack ( Matd. Cent., vol. 1, p. 2 ) .

So, the spirit of Antichrist began to acquire the Christians in the second century.

More as it was during the reign of Constantine.

Finally, he found his place in the person of the POPE.
