Just a thought/question this Sunday afternoon.

While I sit here in my livingroom, studying Scripture about the anti-christ, a thought came to mind; WHAT IF, the anti-christ is not just one person but a group of people or a country? The reason I say this, I have a retirement property in another small country, recently, not far from my place there, an outside government opened a research facility under the disguise of weather studies. But instead what they do not mention is that these "studies" include biological warfare. No-one is allowed to come within 50 miles from the facility. Also, the same group recently started with experiments in Cape Town South Africa, and the reason been given is space research. Therefore, I am just wondering, do we have it wrong? Maybe? About one person as anti-christ? Hope someone can explain more.

Comment

Interesting thought, Nick!

I understand that the word only refers to 1 person but any company has a CEO, any country has a prime minister or president, and knowing that there is a secret force behind the governments today, and the view of WHO and WEF, the question is, which group of people, or which government is going to be this guy's confidants?

I tried to post a very long reply and when I hit send it disappeared. Bummer...I guess it was too big, anyways I will try to condense what I wrote here again.
(Capital letters for emphasis only)

So here is my two cents on the matter.

Part 1
Yes the word “ANTICHRIST” occurs only four times in the entire new testament, and is used only by John to mostly describe those who were infiltrating the early Assembly with their deceit. For example 2 John 1:7 "For MANY deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the DECEIVER… AND the antichrist. I think John was using this “ANTI (against) Christ” as a generic term to apply to those who rejected Messiah (the anti missionaries) as well as Gnostics who were teaching Docetism. John, Peter, Jude and Paul were all dealing with the infiltration of deceivers into the Assembly, but John labels the deceivers as “Anti-messiah”. John however makes it evident that there is a “SPIRIT” behind the deceit and it “is ALREADY at work” at the time John wrote his letter in 1 John 4:3. John also drops a big hint about this “SPIRIT” that is “to come”. My conclusion is that this generic term “Anti-Christ” is used by John for the “group” of MANY deceivers led by a Spirit of ANTI-messiah. This vague reference that John uses for a SPIRIT “to come” has become what modern Christianity has labeled “The ANTI-CHRIST” and has miss-applied this spiritual title to The MAN to come when the bible does not use those terms for this coming MAN.

That being said…The bible describes a man as “the Prince that is to come” (Dan 9:26) with many titles such as “The MAN of Law-less-ness, The SON of the DESTROYER (2 Thess 2:3-10, see also Apollyon/ABBADON the DESTROYER Rev 9:11), He is also called “The Assyrian”, “The DESTROYER of nations” (Isaiah 14:3-22), “The wounded head of the Beast from the sea”, (Rev 13:3-1, “The Little Horn” (Dan 7) “The king of a most fierce countenance and understanding dark sentences” (Dan 8) “The Abomination that causes DESOLATION” (Dan 9),
