The Antichrist!??


Its interesting to see how much evidence the Bible puts out for us to know the real truth. I am watching a seminar on the Antichrist Chronicles by Steve Wholberg right now, some people believe that the Antichrist will be openly the Antichrist but like Judas who was with Jesus himself he ended up being an Antichrist. The Antichrist will be in the church and he will be subtle like Judas who was among the twelve. Reading 1 & 2 Thesolonians, especially 2 Thes. 2 vs. 3 onward, it outlines how the son of perdition will behave. Their are alot of false teachings out there. Everybody cannot be right, its impossible, there is only right and real truth. Interpretations also is a cause for the comfusion in so called Bible believing christians. The steps outlined in these versus states that the Anitchrist will be in the temple (which the greek word used in the original text before translation, Naos, which also talks about the church being the temple of God you and I). With this in mind the temple here refers to the church, the Antichrist will be in the church and will have authority in it also (as it speaks about sit in the church, seat means authority - eg. Bush was seated in the White House as president). The Antichrist is here now - 2 Thes. 2:5-7 Paul states that he told the church and they knew what is holding back the Antichrist. It isn't said out clear what the restrainer for the Antichrist was but in early writings of the elders during that time period, the Restrainer was the Roman Empire (that makes sense why Paul didn't write it in his letter to the Church at Thesolonica in fear that it would fall in the Roman's hand and the church be persicuted further). The Roman Empire is long been destroyed. If all this is true then, the Antichrist is here now. Who then is the Antichrist? He would be in the church now and have authority. What amazes me about Bible prophecy is that it's always too late for the majority to realize the fact that they are going through prophecy. It's at the end later that they realize, "hey, that was prophecy being fulfilled."

are you likening Bush to the antichrist? I think it's more likely going to come through the Catholic Church.
