Who is an antichrist? Christ is a translation of the Greek word Christos which means anointed one. The Hebrew word is Mashiach translated Messiah which means the anointed one, the chosen one. One who God fixed for a specific purpose set apart to fulfill God's plan.
Jesus said many times that He/Him sent me, Matt. 10:40 Mark 9:37 Luke 10:16 John 5:30 and many more times. Also, Jesus said He came down from heaven not to do His will but to do the will of Him who sent Him in John 6:38, and Jesus said this in John 6:35-40.
We see when Jesus was baptized, He was anointed not with oil but with the Holy Spirit/Ghost, Matt 3:16 Mark 1:10 Luke 3:22 John 1:32, and John 3:34-36 Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit without measure. Peter confesses and puts clear the Messiah/Christ, and the miracles, wonders, and signs God did by Him Acts 2:22, also read 23-39.
"God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit", manifest Greek word phanero; revealed, made known, 1 Timothy 3:16 John 17:1-8. God gave His only begotten Son, God sent His Son who was come in the flesh, tempted as you or me, and the spirit of antichrist is denying that is true, John 3:16 1 John 4:3 2 John 1:7. Christ is not part of Jesus name it is a title, Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus is the Christ.
A liar is he who denies or says Jesus is not the Christ/Messiah, and he is an antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son. If we deny the Son, we have not the Father but if we acknowledge the Son we have the Father also, 1 John 2:18-24. You must come to your own understanding not mine, with open mind, prayer, and the Holy Spirit guiding you, you will.
These verses about the antichrist paint a picture of a deceptive seducing spirit and the people that have been deceived, just like Eve 2 Cor. 11:3. My understanding of these verses does not refer to the beast that will ascend out of the bottomless pit that has come to be called the antichrist.

I agree there were local Churches, and these letters was written to them. I believe these 7 Churches represents the complete Church throughout history with 7 representing completeness. #7 is significant throughout scripture.
Also, by what is omitted, (Several other Churches such as the Church in Antioch, Rome, certainly the Church in Jerusalem. And many others founded in scripture.)
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants' things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
" Things which must shortly come to pass" cannot be designated to just chapters 1,2 and 3. The word "shortly" used here I believe is the same word used in Luke 18:8 "I tell you that he will avenge them SPEEDILY. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? (Speedily) is the same word used here in Revelation.
Vs 3. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this "PROPHECY" and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. (This is a prophecy.) so it takes you beyond a local application.
I'm not trying to change your view; I'm just presenting mine.
And as I mentioned I believe Revelation 1:19 gives the chronological order of the book of Revelation. (All 22 chapters.)
The messages are a composite, and they had a direct msg to the Churches in Johns Day, and all 7 letters are appliable for us and all churches throughout church history as well the individual. And yes, the text is structured that way.
Ephesus represents the Apostolic Church; Laodicea represents the Apostate Church. I'm running out of space, perhaps I will share more on "The view I hold and why I hold it later.
However, I'm sure you've heard of this viewpoint so I'm not trying to sell it.
God bless.
Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You in the name of Your Son, Jesus, and ask that You help Sara today and each day this day forward. Uplift her in her spirit and create in her a giant hope in You and Your ways. Help her to trust You more completely than ever as she faces these trials and painful circumstances. Bring to her healing in the relationships that are broken. Help her to love and forgive and move past what is now truly past tense in regards to her life. You have a hope and a future for her, so we ask that You make this hope and future come to pass in a glorious way. Bless Sara today and every day with spiritual, material, emotional, and relational blessings and mighty works that tell of Your great kindness and mercy for those who love You. Help Sara rise up to meet each day in gladness and face it with You on her mind and close each day with the comfort of knowing You walked beside her every step of the way of her day. May Your Spirit teach Sara to thank you for the small things that You bring to her each day, maybe a conversation, a good meal, a quiet break, a text from a friend. Anything that will cheer her heart, bring her to thank you for it. May Your Spirit help Sara to praise You for so many of the things you have provided for her, the beauty of our world, the air we breathe, the ability to accomplish our daily tasks, the glory of Your Word. Father, I know that You will do these things for Sara because the answer to my prayers and her need are solely reliant upon your goodness and your promises to give good gifts to those who ask. ( Lk. 11:13; Jn. 16:23-24) Thank you for Your faithful promises and all that You have provided to us in the person and work of Your Son Jesus. We gladly hold our our hearts and hands to You to receive Your good and timely answer to Sara's needs. Amen.
Dear heavenly Father, Donna's Momma is in need of your comfort, mercy, and hope. Please, bring these to her swiftly and uplift her spirit. Help her to turn to You often and especially when she feels discouraged and tired. We can come to you when we are weary and heavy laden and have rest from You. Bring her this rest today, Father. She has lived long in this life and with age comes the sense that most of our life has been lived already. But even so, as long as we have breath and life, we can serve you in this life and bless others. Help this Momma realize these things and bring to her a godly purpose for every day You give her. Give her great wisdom and inner strength to face each day and live it unto You. Lord. Encourage her with Your closeness and speak to her heart each day. We ask these things of You, Father, for You love her so, in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Amen.
I do agree with your analysis on this text. I believe it is pretty clear, as you stated that these words of Jesus are to the churches that existed at that time in history in Asia and specifically so. I do not believe that this texts speaks to the church eras through the centuries, either. But, as you also stated, we can learn from these words to these churches for our congregations in our own times. Thank you for a very good and measured response on this subject. Appreciated.
I agree with you that Jesus was speaking directly to His disciples present with him at the Last Supper. It is a promise for them in particular that the Holy Spirit will assist them in recalling all that He taught them and did among them. The Holy Spirit will teach them even more than this recall. He will lead them to a deeper and more precise understanding of both the O.T, Scriptures and the words and actions of Jesus. Jesus called each of these disciples individually. They did not "join the club" of those who followed after Jesus in crowds. They were handpicked, not only for Jesus' earthly ministry , but especially so for the ministry of the early church that will grow as they preach and teach "all nations". Many of these disciples wrote Scripture such as Matthew, Peter, James, and John. Others most likely wrote letters to the churches they started up from their preaching ministries. These letters are long lost, but I am sure that they contained what the Holy Spirit caused them to recall and what He taught them. These disciples passed on what was given them by the Holy Spirit either orally or in writing or had someone scribe their teachings for the churches as congregations and for those they personally evangelized individually.
Although these words of Jesus are primarily to the disciples at this supper, His Words are truly timeless and true in all generations, especially His promises of what the Holy Spirit will do in building His church over the ages. So thankful for God's wise and wonderful promises and plan for His elect!

Please would anyone pray for me? I feel so down and deeply discouraged. I feel stuck in situations, everything seems to be standing "still", and I don't know what to do. My heart is also in pain regarding loss, people, work, economics, road ahead, the calling, evil//unfair things, heartaches etc. It's been one of my most painful years.
Thank you. God bless you.
It is me who started that topic but I have no time to get back to you before the weekend. But anybody else who wants to share his/her opinion with us is welcome.
God Bless.

I don't know if you have a Bible or access to one, I would recommend this scriptures to reflect on: Psalms 23, 1 Peter 5:5-10, 2 Corinthians 7:10, 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, Romans 10: 9-13, and Romans 7: 9-25.
I would also suggest finding a bible based church and support group based in faith in Jesus Christ that studying the bible and do activities that helps others. Idleness is a foothold to the devil.
I wanted to elaborate on a topic that was recently posted but I didn't know the context so I didn't want to attach it to no one particular.
It was concerning John 14:26.
I believe it was said this teaching wasn't given to the individual but rather to a congregation to perform.
Meaning these are gifts.
But yet was stated if these were given to individuals separately everyone would be in agreement in their theology.
Here's where I believe the confusion is in this reply or post.
When we look at John 14:25 "These things have I spoken unto you, BEING YET PRESENT WITH YOU." along with John 14:26 we see the Lord was speaking specifically to his disciples.
Meaning ( The Holyspirit will give clarity/revelation to the things he taught them. )
I'm not sure he's talking about gifts here.
I don't believe he taught them gifts. However he gifted the Church preachers, teachers ect ect. when he led captivity captive.
And these preachers and teachers are individuals and their spiritual gift followers them because he gave them CHRIST.
We are to grow in Christ as we mature therefore we don't all agree. We're all not growing at the same rate.
"Whatever truth" is expounded is given by the Holyspirit whether you're a babe or a mature Christian.
Paul mentions this in 1 Corinthians 2:7-11. "But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
BUT GOD HATH REVEALED THEM UNTO US BY HIS SPIRIT: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God."
Then Paul double down on this in
1 Corinthians 2:14.
God bless.
Yes, we praise the Lord for your recovery and His provision in your life. Glad y9ou are recovering well. May you be blessed today and may your testimony bless others, also, being used by the Lord for the turning of some to the Him.
Yes, the rain is truly a blessing at this time. The air quality gets pretty bad from the wildfires and rain brings those smoke particles down to the ground so that they are not circulating in the air as much. Praise be to God Who is merciful and cares for us.
