In my lifetime I have heard many names floated and speculated upon as being the Antichrist. Interestingly most, if not, all have been political figures. Of course time and death has proved otherwise for those potential candidates and has proved the promoters of that particular Antichrist wrong.
I was reading 1 John before going to work this morning in The New English translation and the following is how two Antichrist verses are recorded:
1 Jn. 2:22-23 "Who is the liar? Who but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is Antichrist, for he denies both the Father and Son..."
and
1 Jn 4:2-3 "...This is how we may recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit which acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit which does not thus acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is what is meant by 'Antichrist', you have been told that he was to come, and here he is in the world already!"
Hmm. How does John's definition of Antichrist fit with the traditional end-times view concerning "The Antichrist" arising to power, etc.? Let me here your thoughts.

I think it remains to be revealed. Which is why it seems to be impossible for some to speculate who it is. Like trying to guess the date of the Rapture. By the way, are you still in Oakley?
The U.N. I think not. To speculate on one person is a mistake. John, it seems, clearly says Antichrist is anyone who denies Jesus Christ was fully man.
Again, I quote 1 Jn. 4:3 "This is what is meant by 'Antichrist', you have been told that he was to come, and here he is in the world already!"
I should have been more clear. The U N is the beast, the beginning of the one world goverment, out of that the antichrist will be revelled. ***My former comment should have read." 20 years ago"
