Here is where a lot of confusion has come. Understanding what John meant by even now there are many antichrists.

1John2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.


John was not writing that there would not be a singular antichrist person who shall come.

Instead, John was emphasizing it.

Them who John was writing to already had heard about that person coming, and understood the concept of the antichrist as someone who will be anointed the King of Israel, coming in his own name - instead of and in opposition (anti) that Jesus is the true christ - the rightful king of Israel coming in the name of the Lord.

John wrote that even now there are many antichrists - which - John was describing as fore shadows of the coming antichrist person - that John AND his fellow Christians were already aware of.

There is going to be a singular antichrist person that the Jews are going to embrace, thinking he is messiah (which them speaking greek at the time of the woman at the well - called christ, christos). And that person will be anointed the King of Israel, but he comes in his own name. Meaning that person is not the person that God approves of nor has chosen to be their King.

I agree. You can't read Daniel and not see a literal AC. This is carried on into the NT. As far as being the King of Israel, you might be right. I take that Scripture to mean he won't come in the name of the Father, as the true Messiah did. He will be against the God of Heaven, against the God of Abraham notice he shows no regard for the religion of his fathers. (per Daniel 11:37)

I believe the false prophet will most likely be a Jew-rising out of the land, maybe the High Priest?He will trick the Jews into following the AC. The Bible makes it clear the AC rises out of the nations/gentiles. That is why I can't believe he will be a Jew. He conquers Jerusalem, he don't come from there. He comes from the north.

So, if you are saying he will come from a gentile nation but "claims" to be a long lost bloodline king, that could be possible. If the false prophet-if being a Jew says this, and confirms this will signs and wonders, and of course the coming back to life like Jesus, this would sway many Jews.

Disagree .... the whole world (most in the world) is going to embrace anti-christ (not just the Jews) ... and yes it will be a great deception ... and yes many will think he is Messiah.

Revelation 13:3

Berean Study Bible
One of the heads of the beast appeared to be mortally wounded. But the mortal wound was healed, and the whole world marveled and followed the beast.

Revelation 13

11Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. This beast had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon. 12And this beast exercised all the authority of the first beast and caused the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.

13And the second beast performed great signs to cause even fire from heaven to come down to earth in the presence of the people. 14Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth (not just the Jews), telling them to make an image to the beast that had been wounded by the sword and yet had lived. 15The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause (force) all who refused to worship it to be killed.

Correct. John did not write about one anti Christ but many. We should consider this to be the final word on the matter . Be blessed,
