The truth is there will not be a person called the Antichrist who appears at the end. People mistake the beast, the son of perdition, and the false
prophet as some being being Satan in human flesh. This is not Biblical. A beast is always symbolic in prophcy of a kingdom, and that mentioned in
Revelation is no different. It is kingdom lead by many kings, not a single person....
Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and
ten horns, and upon his
horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Revelation 17:12 And the
ten horns which thou sawest are
ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings
one hour with the beast.
The sons of perdition (yes, there are two mentioned in the Bible) were people who's actions would lead to the desolation of both the physical (Christ
himself) and spiritual (the church, the temple of God) bodies of Christ.
1st son of perdition, talking of Judas.....
John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son
of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
2nd son of perdition, talking of a man who would stand in the temple of God (which Paul says is now the church) and raise himself up above God, and
cause an apostasy, or falling away from the truth....
2THESSALONIANS 2:3 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 worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing
himself that he is God.
People think this is talking of some Antichrist figure that will stand in some rebuilt Jewish temple, but they forget what Paul said was and would be
the temple of God at the end times.....
1Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
I searched the bible and could not find anything about the AC origins.
That fact alone should raise some red flags with people. You will not find anything about an Antichrist figure to emerge in the end times, not in
scripture anyways.
