The Coming of the Antichrist

I'm going to tell you why I'm going to talk about the Antichrist is this, is because we're realizing the generation of Christians that are coming through today aren't hearing some of the teaching that our forefathers taught.

So our forefathers actually laid down some realistic biblical foundation understandings for us, but what tends to happen from decade to decade, generation to generation, we begin to forget some of these things.

So we kind of move on.

But you've got to understand truth stacks on top of truth.

There's a whole lot of foundation truths.

Just because we understand it in principle, it doesn't mean that we turn our back on it.

There is a scripture that talks about the merchant, the parable.

Jesus talks about the merchant brings both old and new truths or old and new treasures out of the treasure box.

And so we don't turn our back on it, oh, because we know that or we've heard that.

There's always more revelation and insight in these things to come.

And we embrace the complete new.

It's actually not one or the other, it's both.

And so I wanna talk about this because the reason, if you've been around church circles, the Antichrist, the figure of the Antichrist is to come just before the Messiah comes, just before the second coming of Christ.

So if you believe in the rapture, and you believe that the rapture could happen any moment, then we're on our guard.

We're on our guard.

We're ready.

We're ready to go.

We've got our lives in order.

If you don't believe that, then we're believing to go through the seven-year period.

I'll explain this in just a moment.

Seven-year tribulation period, Jacob's trouble.

We're going to go through that.

Either way, we've got to be prepared.
