“Who is the liar but the person who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist: the person who denies the Father and the Son.” 1 Jn. 2:22
There has been much ado over the last fifty years in the evangelical church world concerning the appearance of the Antichrist. Much speculation is made over what his appearance will look like and what the future world will have to face. I’m not sure,🤔 but will the headlines look like this. “Horrifying': ISIS Kills 80 Christians, Decapitating Victims in Democratic Republic of Congo. CBN 6/17/24.
“The slaughter of more than 120 Christians has raised fears Islamic State has moved to take advantage of one nation’s civil war.” News.Com.au. 6/24/24.
In the DRC “Christian villages are raided, churches are burned, and Christians are abducted and brutally killed if they refuse to recant their faith and convert to Islam. Women and girls are raped and forced to marry the perpetrators. Many Christians have fled to safer areas.” Persecution Dot.Org. 5/2/23.
I’m not sure what version of Antichrist your looking for, but Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the eastern nations have their hands full right now. We always treat our theology as if it’s “American centric”, but we’re getting a taste right now across our nation what Europe and the the rest of the world have been dealing with for centuries. That Islam is the most Antichrist ideology on planet earth. It literally is centered on its Rejection of Christ as one of its basic doctrines. It breeds hatred, strife, and division everywhere it is accepted. It is truly an Antichrist religion. It is a cult of mind bending proportions. It is a brainwashing ideology that has gripped the world with a “convert or die” ideology. When your version of Antichrist comes will it do more damage than this religion has done to the nations in the lady 1500 years.🤔 Think about it. “Father, in this season of exposure. Expose Islam for the hate mongering, demonic inspired, ideology that it is. Break its grip off of this nation in the name of Jesus… Amen!” Pastor Rusty
