The Antichrist
The AntiChrist with a capital “A” will be the world leader and many will believe he is Christ because he will perform world peace and false miracles.
When the Antichrist comes it is the sign of the end times because Jesus Christ is coming after the Antichrist.
There are millions and millions of antichrists (lower case “a” today.)
The Bible tells us anyone that doesn’t believe that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God he/her is an antichrist.
As you know many religions don’t believe in the Trinity and never accepted Jesus in their heart as a rebirth so they cannot be a Christian.
In addition, many religions don’t believe in the Holy Spirit.
As you know we must be aware of many false teachers and prophets that are antichrists in today’s world, they are everywhere, at the pulpit, on TV, and YouTube, etc.
We must pray and ask God for wisdom and guidance from the Holy Spirit so we don’t lean on our own understanding when it comes to discernment and studying the scriptures.

1 John 2:18
(Warning about false teachers)
Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.
Millions deny that Jesus is the Christ
1 John 2:22
Who is the liar but the person who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is an antichrist, the person who denies the Father and the Son. Many religions deny that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and not the Messiah.
1 John 4:3
but every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God, and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and now is already in the world.
(He is here but not made known yet)
2 John 1:7
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, people who do not confess Jesus as Christ coming in the flesh. These persons are deceivers and antichrists!
Testing the spirits
We must confess that Jesus is the Son of God, if anyone doesn’t say that and they don’t mention they have accepted Jesus in their heart this is how we know he /she is a false teacher and prophet.
Another sign is someone who does not confess that God is all about unconditional love and he/she does not confess that they love all others with an unconditional love (agape love) they are not of God.
1 John 4
Testing the Spirits
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God; every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spirit of Antichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already. 4 Little children, you are of God, and have overcome them; for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world, therefore what they say is of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
God Is Love
7 Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God; for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his own Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17 In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love. 19 We love, because he first loved us. 20 If any one says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.
False Prophets
Matthew 7:15
“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves."
Jeremiah 5:31
The prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests rule on their own authority; And My people love it so! But what will you do at the end of it?
Jeremiah 14:13
[ False Prophets ] But, “Ah, Lord God!” I said, “Look, the prophets are telling them, ‘You will not see the sword nor will you have famine, but I will give you lasting peace in this place.’” Then the Lord said to me, “The prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a false vision, divination, futility and the deception of their own minds.
