><>...Good evening Puddin...><>
You are on the right track....The Bible does give the antichrist a name. God did not leave us unprepared. Scripture interprets scripture. You are so right.
II Th 2:3-4 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
perdition #684- Gr. apoleia (ap-o'-li-a); from a presumed derivative of 622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal):
Also see Ez.28
Rev 9:11 11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Apollyon #623 Apolluon (ap-ol-loo'-ohn); active participle of 622; a destroyer (i.e. Satan):
KJV-- Apollyon.
Also Puddin remember anti in this case does not mean against It means instead of.
Antichrist #500 antichristos (an-tee'-khris-tos);
from 473 and 5547; an opponent of the Messiah:
KJV-- antichrist.
#473 anti instead of or because of
Instead of Christ! satan (the antichrist) will come as Jesus to deceive the world and so it will be, except for those who know that he comes first disguised as Jesus!
2 Cor 11:14 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
transformed #3345 metaschematizo (met-askh-ay-mat-id'-zo); from 3326 and a derivative of 4976; to disguise or transfigure; figuratively, to apply (by accommodation):
KJV-- transfer, transform (self).
Have a good evening Shalom...><> |
