Can the antichrist be saved?

I don't remember the Bible saying anything about the Antichrist being redeemed. From my scripture reading, the Antichrist, Satan, and those who take the mark are thrown into the Lake of Fire.

Revelation 19:20-"And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."

Can the antichrist repent of his sins and come to Jesus? Or is there no “hope” for him? I really believe we are in the end. Looks what happening around the world.

"THE" anti-Christ of the end times is satan working through a man ... and no satan and the 1/3 of the fallen angels can not be saved.

Revelation 12

The War in Heaven

7Then a war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels. 9And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.10And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying:

“Now have come the salvation and the power

and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of His Christ.

For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down—

he who accuses them day and night before our God.11They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony.

And they did not love their lives
so as to shy away from death.12Therefore rejoice, O heavens,
and you who dwell in them!

But woe to the earth and the sea;
with great fury the devil has come down to you,
knowing he has only a short time.”

I don't usually bother getting into the anti-Christ debate, but I do have some thoughts on the issue.

Speaking about the topic, he'd hardly be the anti-Christ if he could be saved, but I'm going to indulge in a bit of useless day dreaming here.

Let's assume there's a man around who fits the bill. He might even know who he is. He'd be someone who gets away with immoral actions pretty easily, as the devil would protect him, and who is used to power.

Yet suppose in a last ditch effort some hopeful Christian pointed out to him his ultimate fate if he didn't repent.

He'd be facing the temptation of enormous power over his fellow man, when all he has to do is to continue to go through the motions. But if he repented, he'd then have to deal with the devil, who would have set him up to that point. It would be like being a Mafia Don who decided he wanted to go straight, and to do so would have to confess everything, not only to God but also to the civil authorities.

You could just see his former compatriots and the other Dons being lugubriously resigned to his decision, and leaving him alone. Because you can be quite sure he'd have a lot of human help as well as the demonic. No tyrant operates alone.

If as is implied there'll be a resurrection or a seeming resurrection of the anti-Christ (which appears to be the case - God resurrected Christ, and I think the devil will resurrect the anti-Christ), then while he's in Hell in the interim, he'd become completely corrupted by the ethos of Hell.

Revelation 13:12 NIV "It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed."

Personally I doubt if he'd be able to resist the temptation of so much power, and after being in hell prior to his resurrection, he's be lost anyway.

But that's all conjecture.

So much for an all-powerful God if He can’t control his creations.

With God nothing is impossible

Not as long as he /she is ANTI-CHRIST.



If one rejects any part of Gods Holy word they are an ANTI-CHRIST.

(Jn 12:48)

"He" is obviously Judah, not God.

Someone who has the spirit of the antichrist can be saved, but not 'thee' antichrist. Elymas the Magician and opponant to the Gospel in Acts 13:1-12 had the spirit of the antichrist. Elymas was fortunate God didn't deal with him more severely.

There's a good sermon below about Elymas, a warning to us all and what to look out for in this world. It starts at 24mins

Who said he can't?

No idea, nor is it likely anyone would identify themselves as such. Point being, maybe rather than trying to label someone an antichrist, maybe just be a witness.

The more convinced you are that "the end is near", the more likely you're wrong. I would have been more convinced the end was coming in other periods of history than I am in this one. But, again, even if the end is coming, what of it? You're not going to stop it.

And if it's not the end of the world, everyone's end will come eventually. It's not something worth obsessing about.
