ITS 2012, Where's the Antichrist?

Hysteria about the identity of the Antichrist has been around for generations.  As far back as Ronald Reagan, I can remember people guessing and wondering if our current president was the Antichrist.  Of course, the thought of one all powerful Antichrist comes from Revelation 13.  This also includes the discourse on the False Prophet.  

I would encourage believers to shift their thinking.  As the hysteria of "2012/end of the world" grows more intense, I think a better use of time would be to stop guessing the identity of a major Antichrist, and be careful to steer clear of antichrists and false prophets who run rampant among our culture every day.

1 John 2:18 says, "Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour."


Truthfully, we must always be on guard as believers to weigh what we see and hear with scripture. Its important for us to examine the fruit of one another's lives.  Not one of us is immune to getting polluted with false prophecy.  Its Christ's work in us that keeps us in check!
