The AntiChrist

Setting 1st Century CE

John 4: 1-3 - " Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to Yahweh, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can know the Spirit of Yahweh: every spirit that acknowledges Yahshua the Messiah come in the flesh ( Son of Man with natural human parents) belongs to Yahweh and every spirit that does not acknowledge?does not belong to Yahweh. This is the spirit of the Anti-Messiah ( Immaculate virgin birth GOD/Man AntiChrist ) that, as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world."

Many Authors and biblical researchers place the AntiChrist into our future when in fact no where in bibles anywhere can you find this idea, but instead what few scriptures that mention the AntiChrist or correctly translated False Messiah, or False Prophet was already in the world during the first century. The key to understanding this is knowing what the word " Spirit " meant to the original authors. Spirit was used to describe a thought within the human mind that one holds as an idea either false, real, or imagined, as is basically how the word is defined today. Hence if someone is said to, have a bad, or evil spirit, that would mean that that soul has been corrupted with wrong thoughts, or ideas. Furthermore the human spirit is said to be the nonphysical part of a person which is the seat of emotions and character; the soul, ( Spirit ) those qualities regarded as forming the definitive or typical elements in the character of a person, nation, or group or in the thought and attitudes of a particular period, a person identified with their most prominent mental or moral characteristics or with their role in a group or movement. Another good modern way to explain this concept is to think of the human brain as the hardware and the human spirit as the software loaded into the human mind or CPU and just as a computer can become corrupted, hacked, full of viruses, fake news, illusions, lies, false information, or just bad programming so can the human spirit within. So the idea of the Anti-Christ which, " Christ " simply means Messiah, in the Greek language. So think about it, what is being explained here is that we will have two ideas of a Messiah. One will be true the other False, or Anti as a belief system that is being taught among the people. When one looks into the first century you will find this to be true as one portion of the people believed Yahshua was the Messiah yet was fully human in every way with human parents very natural, whereas on the other hand you have this group of humans forming the belief that, Yahshua the Messiah ( Later translated as, Jesus Christ) was a supernatural GOD/Man borne from a Virgin Mother, which is idolatry in its purest form, and the average Hebrew never heard of this concept before, but this type belief was very common among the Roman elite of that same period as Mithraism, which is the new idea that, as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world." ( In Ancient Rome, religion was an integral part of the civil government. Beginning with the Roman Senate's declaration of the divinity of Julius Caesar on 1 January 42 BC. Emperors were proclaimed gods on Earth and demanded to be worshiped accordingly. )

" The real question is who is spreading these false teachings that are already there in the world 1st century ? "

" This is the spirit of the Anti-Messiah ( AntiChrist ) that, as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world."

This was a warning sent out to the people listening to John speak in the 1st Century A.D.

Of course this is John referring to the False Apostle Paul, that was already going about teaching this false doctrine, in their time, converting many people away from the original teachings of Yahshua, but instead forming what was the beginnings of Catholicism.

Acts 1:12–26?" So one of the men who have accompanied us during?all the time Yahshua went in and out among us,?beginning from the baptism of John until the day when?he was taken up ( Into the Mountains) from us—one of these men must become with us?a witness to his resurrection. (?“raising up” or “standing up again, surviving a great ordeal ” ) And they put forward two, Joseph called?Barsabbas, who was also called?Justus, and?Matthias.?And?they prayed and said, “You, Elohim?who know the hearts( Spirit) of all, show which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in?this ministry and?apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.”??And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

There can only be twelve true Apostles so Matthias was appointed, after Judas to make the count twelve again.

These twelve Yahshua sent out with the following instructions:

Matthew 10: 5-7- “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.??Go rather to the lost sheep of the tribes of Israel. " ( The 144,000 were to be gathered up for the exodus from Judea very quickly preserving a remnant before the war with Rome begins)

" If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.??Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah?on the day of judgment?than for that town. " ( The Israeli town's people that did not heed the call and got out, were in fact totally destroyed by the roman army and burnt to the ground )

" I tell?you?the truth,?you will not?finish?going through?the cities of?Israel before?the?Son?of?Man comes.” ( Yahshua coming to lead the 144,000 collected as commanded to gather, to safety in the wilderness. Another whole subject we will write about soon )

False Apostle Paul ( Saul) was self- appointed, never walked with Yahshua the Messiah ever, and never witnessed the true real Living Messiah among the tribes of Israel ever, so this fact alone identifies Paul as the impostor, who in fact did the opposite as requested by Yahshua, also his writings were all added later superimposed cleverly into the writings of Roman Catholic Holy Bibles that were orchestrated into, The Emperor's Christ at the Council of Nicaea, under the guidance of Emperor Constantine.

Acts 9:19-22?" and after taking some food, he regained his strength. Saul ( Paul ) spent several days with the disciples?in Damascus.?At once he began to preach in the synagogues?that Yahshua is the Son of God.??All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name??And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”

Here Paul began teaching that Yahshua is the Son Of God, not the Son Of Man which was the term that Yahshua himself always told people to address him as for fear that people would begin to worship him thus creating idolatry.

So the so called, AntiChrist is just a belief system not a actual man, or any form of a man, or a god, supernatural being, or any other likeness otherwise. But instead a false religious cult movement that was beginning in the world during the first century, and that movement later became what we all have been handed down to become known as modern Christianity which has basically changed everything Yahshua actually taught and believed yet instead established Sunday worship along with every pagan holiday on the, Gregorian?calendar?one could ever imagine to galore.

Matthew 5: 17-18 " In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.??Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.…"

Of course Yahshua was talking about the Old Testament and the Ten Commandments because the New Testament hasn't even been written yet at this time.. To fulfill a law simply means to keep it as a living standard for your life.( In other words its in your DNA, it is your HARD DRIVE)

" Until everything is accomplished "

This simply means that this law will stay in effect until a true Kingdom Of Heaven is established on Earth in which every single earthly citizen becomes law abiding, and also fulfills their life with righteous deeds instead of evil and wicked deeds.

A few other places where the word " antichrist " is used in the bibles are listed here with comments, as John was writing to his friends in his day about the news of the day that was happening at that time as Judea was being invaded and finally totally destroyed by the Roman Army, all occurred in the 1st century time frame.

1 John 2: 18-19 " Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. "

Imagine the alert or news flash of the day's headline was reading,

" THIS IS THE LAST HOUR ! "

( End of Days )

Imagine a message coming to you telling you that the Roman Army is about to invade your nation and that your world is about to be totally destroyed. No wonder many people of those days thought of Nero Emperor of Rome the first, Antichrist - Beast especially after his General Titus?Flavius Vespasianus totally destroyed the Jewish Temple just as predicted setting the stage for the False Christ Religion to emerge and the abomination?of?desolation to begin starting with the desecration of the Hebrew Temple by Titus by sacrificing a bull, a sheep, and a pig to the Roman Gods as people even previously were already defecting to the Roman side pleading allegiance for fear of their lives. Meantime you can get a sense of the division already in the works as people begin to splinter, from ideas that had held them together for millenia to this whole new religious mentality.

2 John 1:6-8 " And this is love, that we walk according to His ( Yahweh's) commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love. For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to understand the coming of Yahshua the Messiah in the flesh. ( Son of Man fully human in every way ) Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.( GOD/Man Anti- Human ) Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, that you may be fully saved "

This message also was sent out warning the Children of Israel of that time that false messiahs were coming and not to be deceived, but instead hold fast, for the real Messiah will return with a pathway out of this disaster otherwise pending as a very urgent national emergency.

Yahshua speaking to his followers of that generation 1st Century only -

Matthew 24: 15-25 “ So when you see standing in the holy place ( Jewish Temple At Jerusalem )?‘the abomination that causes desolation,?( Roman Armies) spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—?then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.??Let no one on the housetop?go down to take anything out of the house.?Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak.??How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!?Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.??For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of Judea until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect ( 144,000 that fled ) those days will be shortened.??At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.??For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders?to deceive, if possible, even the elect.??See, I have told you ahead of time. "

Josephus, the Jewish historian who gives us the clearest first hand account of Jerusalem’s fall, 70 CE reports that some people in Judea heeded Yahshua's warning. When the city and temple fell, more than one million Judeans died. But most true followers of Yahshua by and large, were not among them, for they had already fled the city when they saw the Romans?coming, as forewarned to do, so were saved from this horrible fate.

It is amazing to think about the millions of people that actually believe these messages referring to the antichrist have something to do with our time, 21st century or our future when actually any belief that places these messages into any other time than the first century natural earth setting is totally wrong, and ironically just as much as of an illusion as the people that were spreading the ideas of a false messiah religion in those days. The only message that relates to our time is the keeping of the ten commandments, a message that the real actual great human teacher Yahshua the Messiah of his time taught would someday usher in a grand future world of true peace and prosperity like the human species has never known before, a place in time Yahshua coined the, Kingdom of Heaven.

Mark 10:17-21

?As Yahshua was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked,

“Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

“Why do you call me good?”?Yahshua asked.?“Only Yahweh is truly good.?But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother. "

?“Teacher,” the man replied, “I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.”

Looking at the man, Yahshua felt genuine love for him.

?“There is still one thing you haven’t done,”?he told him.?“Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. "

Think about the wisdom in this, ( Yahshua knew all would be destroyed by Rome anyway ) as the one commandment Yahshua didn't mention about human relations was, thou shall not covet, as the young man had way more than he needed yet was not willing to share with others so the people around him had become poor. We still see a lot of this happening today so yes, here is a message for our times for sure. Think about it, you are selling all this excess stuff, you don't really need to other folks that can buy it, and meanwhile, you are helping the poorer with the proceeds.
