Do you believe the Antichrist is finally here on this world?

Hi StandTro, sorry for late reply: the anti-Christ spirit is anything that opposes the Word. All that stands against the teaching, mission, life of Jesus, anything that is counter to the Christian life is anti-Christ. However, the Man of Perdition, the 'hero' of the people that is yet to be revealed on the world-stage will aim to bring about a total collapse of Christianity and the morals and values that the True Christian stands for. It's already started as various Christian denominations are cherry-pick Scripture if it doesn't suit the current social narrative. So, for example Lev 18:22, 1 Cor 6:9 are now totally devalued; the thread of Scripture is being unraveled. In some quarters the Lord's Prayer is now seen as offensive and patriarchal. Thousands are leaving the Church as those in authority make sweeping changes to 'belief'. Souls are being lost as liberal, progressive, worldly bibles fail to teach the FULL and true Word. Currently, the United nations 53rd Human Rights Council have released a report that claims that religious freedom violates LGBT rights. The 5000+ Christians slaughtered in Nigeria last year don't make Mainstream news. Christianity is hanging by a thread: the anti-Christ spirit is satan doing his best to keep as many souls from returning to Jesus. But, wait, there are going to be more 'pandemics', crises, world 'problems' that need solving with a We're All In It Together mentally, and personal 'beliefs' and lifestyles are going to be counter-productive to the New Order. And the Man of Sin, seen by most as a hero, will 'save the day'.

The Bible talks about there being many antichrist's I believe there are antichrist's everywhere. Just look up "people who claim to be Christ." Now if they are THE antichrist, I am unsure.

The anti-christ will not be 'revealed' to us till AFTER believers in Christ are 'caught up/taken out' of this world along w/the dead in Christ who will be raised first joining Him in the clouds 1Thes 4:17.

The rapture is an English word made up from the "Latin biblical word rapio". If it happens in our time you'll know 2 ways..1st cuz 1/3 of the world suddenly disappears just like in Kirk Cameron's movies Left Behind (not the other woke version).

Then, AFTER that (the 2nd proof) the anti-christ makes it mandatory EVERYONE get the 'mark of the beast' (bible says in several verses from chapter 13 - chapter 20, IN the right hand or IN forehead, Not on) to be able to buy or sell to survive. So not a tattoo, pin, watch or sharpy pen.

Best thing to do is be rapture ready. Search His word not believing others yet, Believe & Receive Christ shed His blood for you "that who ever believes in Him will not perish yet have everlasting life" John 3:16-21. If you wait, the bible also says what happens to anyone Left Behind. Tho 1 final chance to Repent is given YET ONLY GOD knows this day & time..in the blink of an eye.! He knows your heart better then you. Not a chance I'm willing to take cuz our flesh is weak & in the blink of an eye is faster then you'll be able to SAY 'Jesus' much less time to repent.

Protect ppl NOW by teaching Gods word sheilding them w/His full suit of armor Eph 6:10-18. God will bring them to their knees in His time for His glory. Any child under the age of accountability (i.e. being able to KNOW the difference, not merely being told to choose) is going so no need to fret over their precious souls simply love them as we are to love God w/All our being. For EVERY knee will bow Phillipians 2:10. I choose to now so my life on earth is more peaceful, no matter the pain. God bless & be with you, Texsis.

Ginnas, Sorry I should have specified better. Your correct, Engraving is ON the skin. I ment not like a childs, gumball machine type, tattoo. When you engrave something, like an adult tattoo, it goes ON the skin yet penitrates IN the skin. My son said their already trying it out. So far the chip implants aren't working so well so, your right, it will mostlikely be like an adult tattoo.! Thanks for helping me correct that.

Hello Textis.

Just for information.

The greek for this type of "mark" is "charagma". This is a mark that is done by engraving, like the ancient people used to engrave letters on stones or marbles using sharp pencils. So it will be ON the right hand or ON the forehead. Now what maybe the interpretation of that...?

This is true Charlie yet I believe the original Question from StandTro was "Do you believe the antichrist is here on this world?" Which I read as being about "the" anti-christ. Not people being antichrist/unbelievers.! So I answered accordingly. Thank you tho, what you said was spot on too.!
