ANTICHRIST
against Christ, or an opposition Christ, a rival Christ. The word is used only by the apostle John. Referring to false teachers, he says (1-John 2:18, 1-John 2: 22;4:3; 2-John 1:7), "Even now are there many antichrists." (1.) This name has been applied to the "little horn" of the "king of fierce countenance" (Dan. 7:24, Dan. 7: 25;8:23). (2.) It has been applied also to the "false Christs" spoken of by our Lord (Matt. 24:5, Matt. 24: 23, 24). (3.) To the "man of sin" described by Paul (2-Thess 2:3, 2-Thess 2: 4, 8-10). (4.) And to the "beast from the sea" (Rev. 13:1;17:1).
