why fear the antichrist

[Nak Sae Glim]

Often I stumble across online or in person, a devote Christian or other sect or belief or lack there of, that is concerned with the concept of the antichrist being present in the current time. It has puzzled me since childhood why in respect to the Christian perspective that it would be a concern. Did not the prophets fortell that it was a sign of the end times? That it would mean you as a Christian are one step closer to paradise..
Perspective is one of the best ways to look at an issue. Changing it and seeing it from different angles is often not done however.
Yes hardships are ahead of you if the antichhrist is on earth at this moment.. Yet instead of hiding from it. You should be joyful, for he is the begining of the end.
What is death compared to your eternal souls place in the afterlife?

Now as I have been raised from a Christian perspective, I would also like those of you who are not, to share your views on the topic. I'd very much like to hear what you have to say on the topic of the antichrist. not so much who you think it is or when he will come.. but why you fear him..
And when the time comes.. who wiould you stand and fight with if you had the choice?

Fear is good for the Soul, then the subject is the Antichrist or any other bad evil in life.

An interesting concept.. I had not considered some live with fear as a daily condition.

Afraid? Nah. If you are a Christian, the existence of the anti-christ would prove everything you were taught to be true.
Besides, who said one couldn't fight him/her off, anyway? Why take it laying down? Hell no. Fight the mofo. LOL.
I'm Christian, but I don't fear it at all. I have a life to live. No time for fear.

Isn't he already in office in America, though? LMAO

I've heard quite a few theorys growing up. Speculation on where and when and how, yet as of yet.. :/ I see no leader who will change the world. Only men seeking power and glory.

I do feel you have the right concept of the Christian prespective though. I feel the same.

There are countless truly terrible people in this world without even the slightest bit of love in their souls, so there's really no need for some super villain "antichrist" figure. There are probably millions of people evil enough to qualify, and they come from all walks of life. Looking for the single most wicked person just lets people ignore the evil all around them.

If you want to see Hell on earth today ... Look no further than Syria

 

[PaulaJedi]

An observation: Why do we always assume the anti-christ will be a political leader?

Maybe the anti-christ is a collective group of individuals. Isis perhaps?

You do realize any non believer could be an anti christ and its not just reserved for famous people?

2 John 1:7 - For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.


This word only comes up in the NT...the specific word anti christ is only mentioned in the Books of John heres a link:
