The Anti-christ

Hi focus

The book of Revelation tells us that satan gets the
boot by Michael out of Heaven, and sent directly
here to earth.

So, in one sence, yes he is alive, but he is not here
yet. You can bet when he gets here, some of us will
know it is him. Sadly, some us will not realize
who he is....

hmm,

I guess I don't buy into this devil"incarnate/possession" stuff concerning the antichrist/that is the person we call antichrist. Some actualy say that antichrist will be saten born in flesh, or perhaps in a clone...

I guess before I respond further .. what do you think about antichrist? is he satan? is he satan incarnate? is he ... what ?

Satan doesn't need a candidate in every generation. Although only God knows the day and hour Satan has a much better understanding of God's word than Christians, and he is well aware of the times and seasons. The unclean spirits asked Christ if he had come to torment them before the appointed time. They know that a time is appointed, and probably have a pretty good idea of when that time is. We should also see the anti-christ reign as an ongoing plan of Satan. Perhaps it is a plan he has been trying to implement for generations, (remember Hitler?).

In any event, Satan is the great countefeiter. I believe his relationship with the anti-christ will be an imitation of the relationship between God and Jesus. Since several events in the life of the anti-christ are imitations of Christ (deadly wound that was healed etc.) then perhaps we can expect to see many other similarities in the life of the anti-christ... A supernatural birth, miracles, perhaps even an age similarity. Since Jesus was about 30 when he began his ministry perhaps the anti-christ will be about the same age when he begins his journey.
