Killing Christians ...SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST RISES...

Executed For Faith In Christ? Youcef Nadarkhani faces death Sentence


Iran's death sentence for the Christian Pastor converting from Muslim to Christ is essentially the greatest form of "Antichrist spirit" as it goes far beyond the pale of denying Christ is come in the flesh." When you harm even the "little toe" you have touched Christ himself. Whether the High Supreme Leader (Imam) of Iran lifts the death sentence because of the protests from all the world leaders and the unrest in all of the Islamic world, it will still be perfectly clear that the Islamic extremism in it's Jihad insanity is the prophetic fulfillment of scripture regarding denying that God himself (The Word) manifested in Jesus... Divinity robed in humanity...Christ in flesh... "Khristos" The anointed one, is come in the flesh. ( The Holy Ghost indwelling the Church)

In the trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin and Pilate, it might appear from the narratives of Matthew and Luke that Jesus at first refused a direct reply to the high priest's question: "Art thou the Christ?" Although his answer is given merely as su eipas (thou hast said it), the Gospel of Mark states the answer as ego eimi (I am) and there are instances from Jewish literature in which the expression, "thou hast said it", is equivalent to "you are right".^[13] The Messianic claim was less significant than the claim to Divinity which caused the high priest the horrified accusation of blasphemy and the subsequent calls for the death sentence. Before Pilate on the other hand it was merely the assertion of his royal dignity which gave ground for his condemnation.^[13]

In the Pauline Epistles the word Christ is so closely associated with Jesus that it is apparent that for the early Christians there is no need to claim that Jesus is Christ, for that is considered widely accepted among them. Hence Paul can use the term Christos with no confusion as to who it refers to, and as in 1Corinthians 4:15 and Romans 12:5 he can use expressions such as "in Christ" to refer to the followers of Jesus.^[21] St. Paul proclaims him as the new Adam, who restores through obedience what Adam lost through disobedience.^[22]

And finally, the Church will meet Christ in the air and fulfill the prophesy of Genesis 3:14 ¹⁴ So the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

   “Cursed are you above all livestock
   and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
   and you will eat dust
   all the days of your life.
¹⁵ And I will put enmity
   between you and the woman,
   and between your offspring^[a] and hers;
he will crush^[b] your head,
   and you will strike his heel.”

Many interpret the serpent striking his heel as the Crucifixion. However, it also refers to the last part of his "body" that walks the earth in the last days that are persecuted and die for the "Name of Christ." 

We see all over the world in this very hour more and more persecution and hate directed at the offspring/seed of Christ.  The following is an article that makes excellent points on the "spirit of Antichrist" which always works among us.

SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST

There is a free printable tract on this subject with folding instructions at this link.

There are only four verses in Scripture that contain the term antichrist (KJV quoted below):

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

1 John 2:22  Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [(but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also].

1 John 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

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.

Clearly, from the verses above, antichrist is a SPIRIT, or THE spirit, that lives in the heart of anybody that denies that Jesus is the Christ, or denies the Father and the Son, or denies that Jesus Christ IS come in the flesh. Every man that denies the Son has not the Father and is antichrist, and also is an antichrist.  Jewish blindness, however, is a separate issue as suggested in Romans 11.

Here is a U-Tube of antichrists that will break your heart.

Here is a group of antichrists graduating from kindergarten.

Since there are billions of antichrists - and no shortage from John's day forward - it would seem there cannot be a single antichrist - not in John's day - not today.  An individual antichrist can only be just ANOTHER antichrist.

( However, a true counterfeit will be an exact copy...therefore we will see those who comprise the "body" of Antichrist will anoint their head (Antichrist), which scripture clearly points to. As Satan entered Judas when his time had come to fulfill prophesy as "the son of perdition" (a type of the final figure) King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
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;

Daniel 8:25 He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.

Daniel 11:36 "The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place.

 I believe this will also happen in personification to the one who must fulfill this last prophetic truth. EDITOR...Rev. Steven Masone ) 

1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

You can see the singular "that", "spirit", "it" in this sentence and singular "antichrist", just like the singular "antichrist" in 1 John 2:18.  The translators gave us a little extra push in 1 John 4:3 by inserting the word [spirit] a second time, further clarifying that the spirit of antichrist is this singular entity.  Now look at how this makes perfect sense in the "little children" verse:

John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that {the spirit of} antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

An understanding of the above verse remains unchanged with or without the words that I added for the purpose of this exercise.

Finally look also at how beautifully parallel these two verse snippets are:

"ye have heard that antichrist shall come"

"ye have heard that it should come"

Following is a brief YouTube summary of the subject of antichrist.

THE FRUIT

Look at the fruit of misunderstanding.  Some say "The" "Antichrist" was Nero. Perhaps suggesting "he" is over and done with.  Futurists are looking for some future individual "The" "Antichrist" of the silver screen yet to come.  Others you can find on the Internet, of which there is no shortage, proffer guesses from the leader of Spain, to the Pope, to Ronald Reagan, and more recently, George Bush.

Meanwhile there are 1.5 billion antichrists in Islam alone. The most important fundamental in Islam is "shirk" - that God has no Son.  From the above we can see that this is specifically "that spirit of antichrist".  

Sura 19:88 They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" 89 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!

That 1.5 billion antichrists doesn't even count the atheist neighbor down the road where your kids go to hang out. Has the Church has been deceived into looking in the wrong place?  Has the Church's looking for some specific individual "The" "Antichrist", past or future, also made it look like so much buffoonery to those outside of the Church? (end)

While the above writer overlooks "progressive repetitive revelation"....he is correct to point out that the spirit of Antichrist is at it's zenith just waiting for it's Antichrist head to give the marching orders to destroy the remnant of God.

Remember...just as God uses human agency for his will to be accomplished, so will Satan. And they are all Antichrist!
