Hunger is bad - THE BIBLE

Matthew 5:6 - Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for
righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Luke 6:21, 25 - Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be
satisfied. . . Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry.

Both these quotes from the Bible, and both infer that God (or Jesus)
considers hunger to be BAD.

Those who are hungry (for food or spiritual matters) will have the BAD
hunger removed, and those who are 'full' will be made hungry because
hunger is BAD.

"Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry" means HUNGER IS
BAD

Chung twists these quotes to sell his diet and gain fraudulent donations
for his one-man charity. No wonder he dare not set foot inside a church.

The Two Pound Diet is based on a lie, and Chung distorts scripture to
sell it. Expect him to either run away screerching and howling, or do a
furious little foot-stamping jig on Bob Pastorio's grave. Either way
Chung's core lies are exposed and the VICTORY is for the TRUTH of his
vile ways.

Those who are eternally condemned have become demons, which would not
be the neighbors that LORD Jesus Christ has commanded HIS brethren to
love unconditionally.

Indeed, Jesus sent HIS disciples to cast out demons.

Truth is simple.

The brethren of LORD Jesus Christ are neither perfect nor more
special...

Actually, it is quite simple.

Ragin' satan's sockpuppets are not the neighbors that the brethren of
LORD Jesus Christ love unconditionally.

Instead, they have become satan's proxies since unwisely choosing to
blaspheme the Holy Spirit.

Truth is simple.

You being untruthful simple shows that you remain convicted by the

Ragin' satan's sockpuppets are demons, which you will find referenced
in the Bible in many places:

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.christnet.christianlife/msg/8837fb981fe2f686?

They are eternally condemned, never to be forgiven by GOD, Creator of

I followed that link, and it sure didn't look like a page from the
Bible. So I went to my online Bible and queried "sockpuppet" - guess
what? No such word in either the new *or* the old testament. I think
that you're putting words into the Bible's mouth, Andy. God will kill
you for that kind of hubris.

The Holy Spirit only converses with lunatics. Consider yourself
committed, Andy Chung. And they don't let lunatics be doctors any more.
Time to give up your medical license to someone who will be in a
position to actually practice medicine.

Ignorance of Scripture! Don't be a jackanapes!

4. The Beast
5. The Bloody and Deceitful Man
6. The Wicked One
7. The Man of the Earth

There is a distinct science of nomenclature, a system of names, in the
Word of God. Probably every name found in Scripture has either a
historic, a symbolic, or a spiritual significance. The names are
inseparably bound up with the narrative, and it frequently happens that
the meaning of a proper noun is a key to an important passage. Names are
not employed by the Holy Spirit in a loose and careless manner-of course
not!-but with definite design. A variety of names for the same individual
are not given in order to prevent monotonous repetition, but because the
significance of each separate appellation is best fitted to express what
is recorded in any given instance. "Devil" and "Satan" are not synonyms,
nor are they used at haphazard, but with Divine discrimination. Upon the
meaning of names found in Holy Writ rests a whole scheme of
interpretation; even the order in which names occur is not fortuitous but
designed, and constitutes a part of each lesson taught, or each truth
presented.

There is here a wide field opened for study, a field which few have made
serious effort to explore. It is strange that it has been so neglected,
for again and again the Holy Spirit calls attention to the importance and
meaning of names. In the first book of the Bible we find that children
and places were given meaningful names, which called to remembrance
incidents, experiences, characteristics of interest and importance.
Examples are given where names were changed to harmonize with a change in
the person, place, experience, or situation where it occurred. Abram and
Sarai will at once occur to mind. For a place, take Luz, which was
changed to Bethel-"House of God"-because by reason of a vision he
received there it became that to Jacob. Jacob's name is changed to
Israel; and in the New Testament an example is furnished in Simeon being
renamed Peter. In Heb. 7:1, 2 the Holy Spirit calls attention to the
significance of the names Melchizedek and Salem (Jerusalem). These are
sufficient to show the importance of this line of study.

Names are used in Scripture with marvelous discrimination, and it was
this fact which first demonstrated to the writer the verbal inspiration
of Scripture. The precision with which names are used in the Bible is
especially noticeable in connection with the Divine titles. The names
Elohim and Jehovah are found on the pages of the Old Testament several
thousand times, but they are never used loosely or interchangeably. Over
three hundred names and titles are given to the Lord Jesus Christ, and
each leas its own distinctive significance, and to substitute any other
for the one used would destroy the beauty and perfections of every
passage where they are found.

Names are employed to express character; titles are used to denote
relationships. It is only as we make a careful study of the various and
numerous names and titles of the Lord Jesus Christ, that we are in a
position to appreciate His infinite excellencies and the manifold
relationships which He sustains. From an opposite standpoint the same is
equally true of the Antichrist. As we pay careful attention to the
different names and titles which are given to him, we then discover what
a marvelously complete delineation the Holy Spirit has furnished us with
of the person, the character, and career of this monster of wickedness.
It is unfortunate that the great variety of names bestowed upon him has
led some brethren to the conclusion that they must belong to separate
persons, and has caused them to apportion these out to different
individuals; only confusion can result from this. There is almost as much
ground to make the Devil and Satan different persons, as there is to
regard (as some do) the Beast and the Antichrist as separate entities.
That the Devil and Satan are names belonging to the same person, and that
the Beast and the Antichrist is the selfsame individual, is proven by the
fact that identically the same characteristics under each is found
belonging to the one as to the other. Instead of apportioning these names
to different persons, we must see that they denominate the same
individual, only in different relationships, or as giving us various
phases of his character.

An old writer has said the name Devil is most suggestive of his
character. If "d" is taken away evil is left. If "e" is taken away vile
is left. If "v" is taken away ill is left. And if "i" is taken away and
the next letter be aspirated, it tells of hell. It is equally true of the
Antichrist: his names reveal his character, expose his vileness, and
forecast his career and doom.

The names and titles given to the Antichrist are far more numerous than
is commonly supposed. We propose to give as complete a list as possible,
and offer a few comments on their significations. We shall not expatiate
on them at equal length, for that is not necessary; instead, we shall say
the most on those cognomens which are of the greater importance, or,
which because of their ambiguity call for a more detailed elucidation.

[1]


1. The Antichrist

"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is
Antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." (1 John 2:22) This name
introduces to us one of the most solemn and foreboding subjects in the
Word of God. It brings before us one of the persons in the Trinity of
Evil. At every point he is the antithesis of Christ. The word
"Antichrist" has a double significance. Its primary meaning is one who is
opposed to Christ; but its secondary meaning is one who is instead of
Christ. Let not this be thought strange, for it accords with the two
stages in his career. At first he will pose as the true Christ,
masquerading in the livery of religion. But, later, he will throw off his
disguise, stand forth in his true character, and set himself up as one
who is against God and His Christ.

Not only does antichrist denote the antagonist of Christ, but it tells of
one who is instead of Christ. The word signifies another Christ, a
pro-Christ, an alter christus, a pretender to the name of Christ. He will
seem to be and will set himself up as the true Christ. He will be the
Devil's counterfeit. Just as the Devil is an Anti-theos- not only the
adversary of God, but the usurper of the place and prerogatives of God,
demanding worship; so the Son of Perdition will be anti-christ-not only
the antagonist and opponent of Christ, but His rival: assuming the very
position and prerogatives of Christ; passing himself off as the rightful
claimant to all the rights and honors of the Son of God.

2. The Man of Sin, the Son of Perdition

"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." (2 Thess. 2:3) This double appellation is probably the
most awful, the most important, and the most revealing title given to the
Antichrist in all the Bible. It diagnoses his personality and exposes his
awful character. It tells us he will be possessed of a twofold nature: he
will be a man and yet more than a man. He will be Satan's parody of the
God-Man. He will be an incarnation of the Devil. The world today is
talking of and looking for the Superman. This is exactly what the
Antichrist will be. He will be the Serpent's masterpiece.

"That Man of Sin." What a frightful name! The sin of man will culminate
in the Man of Sin. The Christ of God was sinless; the Christ of Satan
will not only be sinful, but the Man of Sin. "Man of Sin" intimates that
he will be the living and active embodiment of every form and character
of evil. "Man of Sin" signifies that he will be sin itself personified.
"Man of Sin" denotes there will be no lengths of wickedness to which he
will not go, no forms of evil to which he will be a stranger, no depths
of corruption that he will not bottom.

"The Son of Perdition." And again we are forced to exclaim, what a
frightful name! Not only a human degenerate, but the offspring of the
Dragon. Not only the worst of human kind, but the incarnation of the
Devil. Not only the most depraved of all sinners, but an emanation from
the Pit itself. "Son of Perdition" denotes that he will be the
culmination and consummation of satanic craft and power. All the evil,
malignity, cunning, and power of the Serpent will be embodied in this
terrible monster.

3. The Lawless One

"And then shall be revealed the lawless One, whom the Lord Jesus shall
slay with the breath of His mouth, and bring to nought by the
manifestation of His coming." (2 Thess. 2:8 R. V.) This is another name
of the Antichrist which makes manifest his awful character. Each of his
names exhibits him as the antithesis of the true Christ. The Lord Jesus
was the Righteous One; the Man of Sin will be the Lawless One. The Lord
Jesus was "made under the law" (Gal. 4:4); the Antichrist will oppose all
law, being a law unto himself. When the Saviour entered this world, He
came saying, "Lo I come to do Thy will, O God" (Heb. 10:9); but of the
Antichrist it is written "And the king shall do according to his will."
(Dan. 11:36) The Antichrist will set himself up in direct opposition to
all authority, both Divine and human.

4. The Beast

"And when they shall have finished their testimony the Beast that
ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and
shall overcome them, and kill them." (Rev. 11:7) This is another name
which reveals the terrible nature and character of the Antichrist and
which places him in sharp antithesis from the true Christ. "The Beast" is
the title by which he is most frequently designated in the Revelation:
there are at least thirty references to him under this name in the last
book of the Bible. The Greek word signifies a wild beast. This name "the
Beast" contrasts the Antichrist from the true Christ as "the Lamb;" and
it is a significant fact that by far the great majority of passages where
the Lord Jesus is so designated are also found here in the Apocalypse.
The "Lamb" is the Saviour of sinners; the "Beast" is the persecutor and
slayer of the saints. The "Lamb" calls attention to the gentleness of
Christ; the "Beast" tells of the ferocity of the Antichrist. The "Lamb"
reveals Christ as the "harmless" One (Heb. 7:26); the "Beast" manifests
the Antichrist as the cruel and heartless one. Under the Law lambs were
ceremonially clean and used in sacrifice, but beasts were unclean and
unfit for sacrifices.

It is a point of interest to note that there is one other very striking
contrast between the persons in the Holy Trinity, and the persons in the
trinity of evil. At our Lord's baptism the Holy Spirit descended upon Him
in the form of a dove, and the first mention of the Holy Spirit in
Scripture represents Him as "brooding" like a dove over the waters which
covered the pre-Adamic earth (Gen. 1:2). How remarkable are these
symbols-a "Lamb" and a "Dove!" A Dove, not a hawk or an eagle. The
gentle, harmless, cooing "dove." Over against this the Devil is termed
"the Dragon." What a contrast-the Dove and the Lamb, the Dragon and the
Beast!

5. The Bloody and Deceitful Man

"Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the
Bloody and Deceitful Man." (Ps. 5:6) The Psalm from which this verse is
quoted contains a prayer of the godly Jewish remnant, offered during the
Tribulation period. In proof of this assertion observe that in v. 2 God
is owned and addressed as "King." In v. 7 intimation is given that the
Temple has been rebuilt in Jerusalem, for turning away from it when it
has been defiled by "the Abomination of Desolation," the remnant say,
"But as for me I will come into Thy House in the multitude of Thy mercy:
and in Thy fear will I worship toward Thy Holy Temple." While in v. 10 we
find them praying for the destruction of their enemies, which is parallel
with Rev. 6:10. It is during that time the faithful remnant will exclaim,
"Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the
Bloody and Deceitful Man."

The Bloody and Deceitful Man views the Antichrist in relation to the
Jews. In the earlier stages of his public career he poses as their friend
and benefactor. He recognizes their rights as a separate State and
appears anxious to protect their autonomy. He makes a formal covenant
with them (Dan. 9:27) and their peace and security seem assured. But a
few years later he comes out in his true character. His fair speeches and
professions of friendship are seen to be false. He breaks his covenant
(Ps. 55:20) and turns upon the Jews in fury. Their benefactor is now
their worst enemy. The protector of their interests now aims to cut them
off from being a nation in the earth (Ps. 83:4). Thus is he rightfully
denominated by them "the Bloody and Deceitful Man."

6. The Wicked One

"The Wicked (One) in his pride doth persecute the poor: the Wicked (One),
through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God." (Ps.
10:2, 4) This entire Psalm is about the Wicked One. The opening verse
gives the key to its dispensational scope. It contains the cry of the
Jewish remnant during the Tribulation period, here denominated "Times of
Trouble." (cf. Jer. 30:7) So desperate is the situation of the true
Israel, it seems as though Jehovah must have deserted them-"Why standest
Thou afar off, O Lord? Why hidest Thou Thyself in times of trouble?" (v.
1) Then follows a remarkably full description of their archenemy, the
Wicked One. His pride (v. 2), his depravity: "He abhorreth the Lord" (v.
3 margin); his blasphemy: "All his thoughts are, There is no God" (v. 4
margin); his grievous ways, (v. 5); his consuming egotism, (v. 6); his
deceitfulness, (v. 7); his treachery, (v. 8); his cruelty, (vv. 9, 10);
his complacent pride, (v. 11), is each described. Then the Remnant cry,
"Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up Thine hand: forget not the humble. Break
Thou the arm of the Wicked and Evil One." (vv. 12 and 15) The whole Psalm
should be carefully studied.

7. The Man of the Earth

"To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the Man of the Earth may
no more oppress." (Ps. 10:18) The "Wicked One" describes his character;
the "Man of the Earth" defines his position. The one speaks of his awful
depths of depravity; the other of his vast dominions. The sphere of his
operations will be no mere local one. He will become World emperor. He
will be a king of kings and lord of lords (Rev. 13:7). When the true
Christ appeared on earth, Satan offered Him "all the kingdoms of the
world and the glory of them" if He would fall down and worship him. When
the false Christ appears, this offer will be repeated, the conditions
will be met, and the tempting gift will be bestowed (Rev. 13:2). In
consequence of this he shall be "the Man of the Earth;" Just as later,
Christ shall be "King over all the earth." (Zech. 14:7)

8. The Mighty Man

"Why boasteth thou thyself in mischief, O Mighty Man." (Ps. 52:1) This is
another Psalm which is devoted to a description of this fearful
character. Here again we have mention of his boastfulness (v. 1), his
deceitfulness (v. 2), his depravity (v. 3), his egotism (v. 4), his
riches (v. 7). His doom is also announced (v. 5). This title, the Mighty
Man, refers to his immense wealth and possessions, and the power which
they confer upon their possessor. It also points a striking contrast:
Christ was the Lowly Man, not having where to lay His head; the
Antichrist will be the Mighty Man, of whom it is said, "Lo, this is the
man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his
riches, and strengthened himself in his substance." (Ps. 52:7)

9. The Enemy

"Because of the voice of the Enemy, because of the oppression of the
Wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me." (Ps.
55:3) This is another title used of the Antichrist in connection with
Israel, a title which recurs several times both in the Psalms and the
Prophets. It points a designed contrast from that Friend that "sticketh
closer than a brother." This Enemy of Israel oppresses them sorely. His
duplicity and treachery are here referred to. Concerning him Israel shall
exclaim, "The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was
in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn
swords." (Ps. 55:21) Let the student be on the lookout for passages in
the Old Testament which make mention of the Enemy

10. The Adversary

"They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have
burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. We see not our signs:
there is no more any profit: neither is there any among us that knoweth
how long. O God, how long shall the Adversary reproach? Shall the Enemy
blaspheme Thy name forever?" (Ps. 74:8-10) This title occurs in several
important passages. In Isa. 59:19 we read, "So shall they fear the name
of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When
the Adversary shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall
lift up a standard against him." Lam. 4:11, 12 is another scripture which
obviously speaks of the End-time. "The Lord hath accomplished His fury;
He hath poured out His fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and
it hath devoured the foundations thereof. The kings of the earth, and all
the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the Adversary
and the Enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem." In Amos
3:11 we read, "Therefore thus saith the Lord God; an Adversary there
shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength
from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled." This is a title which
intimates his satanic origin, for the Greek word for Devil means
adversary.

11. The Head Over Many Countries

"He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead
bodies; he shall wound the Head over many countries." (Ps. 110:6) The
context here shows that it must be the Antichrist which is in view. The
Psalm opens by the Father inviting the Son to sit at His right hand until
His enemies shall be made His footstool. Then follows the affirmation
that Jehovah will display His strength out of Jerusalem, and make His
people Israel willing in the day of His power. Then, following Jehovah's
oath that Christ is a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek
(which contemplates the exercise of His millennial and royal priesthood),
we read, "The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the
day of His wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, He shall fill the
places with the dead bodies; He shall wound the Head over many
countries." The "Day of His wrath" is the closing portion of the
Tribulation period, and in the Day of His wrath He wounds this Head over
many countries. The Head over many countries refers to the Man of Sin as
the Caesar of the last world empire, prior to the establishment of the
Messianic Kingdom.

12. The Violent Man

"Deliver me, O Lord, from the Evil Man: preserve me from the Violent
Man." (Ps. 140:1) This is another Psalm which expresses the plaintive
supplications of the godly remnant in the "time of Jacob's trouble."
Three times over the Antichrist is denominated the Violent Man. In v. 1
the remnant pray to be delivered from him. In v. 4 the petition is
repeated. In v. 11 his doom is foretold. Cry is made for God to take
vengeance upon this bloody persecutor: "Let burning coals fall upon them:
let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up
again. Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall
hunt the Violent Man to overthrow him." (Ps. 140:10, 11) The Violent Man
is a name which fully accords with his Beastlike character. It tells of
his ferocity and rapacity.

13. The Assyrian

"O Assyrian, the rod of Mine anger, and the staff in their hand is Mine
indignation.Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath
performed His whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish
the fruit of the stout heart of the King of Assyria, and the glory of his
high looks." (Isa. 10:5, 12) We cannot here attempt an exposition of the
important passage in which these verses occur-that, in subsequent
chapters, we shall treat in detail of the Antichrist in the Psalms, and
the Antichrist in the Prophets-suffice it now to point out that it treats
of the End-time (see vv. 12, 20), and that the leading characteristics of
the Man of Sin can be clearly discerned in what is here said of the
Assyrian. Almost all premillennial students of prophecy are agreed that
"the King" of Isa. 30:33 is the Antichrist, and yet in the two verses
which precede, this "King" is identified with "the Assyrian."

14. The King of Babylon

"Thou shalt take up this proverb against the King of Babylon, and say,
How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!" (Isa. 14:4) We do
not wish to anticipate what we shall discuss at length in our future
studies, enough now to state it is our firm conviction that Scripture
plainly teaches that there will be another Babylon which will eclipse the
importance and glories of the one of the past, and that Babylon will be
one of the headquarters of the Antichrist. He will have three: Jerusalem
will be his religious headquarters, Rome his political, and Babylon his
commercial. For those who desire to anticipate our future expositions, we
recommend them to make a minute study of Isa. 10, 11, 13, 14; Jer. 49-51;
Zech. 5, and Rev. 18.

15. Son of the Morning

"How art thou fallen from heaven O Lucifer, Son of the Morning! How art
thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations." (Isa.
14:12) "Lucifer" is a Latin word which signifies the "morning star." "All
the ancient versions and all the Rabbins make the word a noun denoting
the bright one, or, more specifically, bright star, or according to the
ancients more specifically still, the Morning Star or harbinger of
daylight." (Dr. J. A. Alexander) This term "Lucifer" has been commonly
regarded as one of the names of Satan, and what is here said of the
Morning Star is viewed as describing his apostasy. Against this
interpretation we have nothing to say, except to remark that we are
satisfied it does not exhaust this remarkable scripture. A detailed
exposition must be reserved for a later chapter. Sufficient now to point
out that however Isa. 14 may look back to the distant past when, through
pride, Satan fell from his original estate, it most evidently looks
forward to a coming day and gives another picture of the Antichrist. In
this same passage "Lucifer" is termed "the Man that did make the earth to
tremble" (v. 16), and in his blasphemous boast "I will be like the Most
High" (v. 14), we have no difficulty in identifying him with the Man of
Sin of 2 Thess. 2:3, 4. The force of this particular title "Morning Star"
is seen by comparing it with Rev. 22:16, where we learn that this is one
of the titles of the God-man. The "Morning Star" speaks of Christ coming
to usher in the great Day of rest for the earth. In blasphemous travesty
of this Satan will send forth the mock messiah to usher in a false
millennium.

16. The Spoiler

"Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from
the face of the Spoiler: for the Extortioner is at an end, the Spoiler
ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. And in mercy shall
the throne be established: and He shall sit upon it in truth in the
tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting
righteousness." (Isa. 16:4, 5) It will be observed that the verse in
which the Antichrist is spoken of as the Spoiler comes immediately before
the one where we read of the throne being established, a reference, of
course, to the setting up of the Messianic Kingdom. These two things
synchronize: the destruction of Antichrist, and the beginning of the real
Messiah's reign; hence we read here "the Spoiler ceaseth." A further
reference to the Man of Sin under this title of the Spoiler is found in
Jer. 6:26: "O daughter of My people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow
thyself in ashes: make thee mournings, as for an only son, most bitter
lamentation: for the Spoiler shall suddenly come upon thee." This is
another title which views the Antichrist in connection with Israel. After
the return of many of the Jews to Palestine, and after their rights have
been owned by the Powers, and their security and success seem assured;
their enemy, filled with satanic malice, will seek their extermination.
"The Spoiler" contrasts him with the Lord Jesus who is the great Restorer
(see Ps. 69:4).

17. The Nail

"In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall the Nail that is fastened in
the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that
was upon it shall be cut off for the Lord hath spoken it." (Isa. 22:25)
The last ten verses of this chapter should be read carefully. They
furnish a striking foreshadowment of the End-time. Shebna was holding
some office over (note "government" in v. 21) Israel. Apparently he was a
usurper. God announced that he should be set aside in shame, and the man
of His choice-Eliakim-should take his place. These historical figures
merge into prophetic characters. In v. 22 we read that God says, "And the
key of the house of David will I lay upon His shoulder, so He shall open,
and none shall shut; and He shall shut, and none shall open." As we know
from Rev. 3:7 this refers to none other than the Lord Jesus, and of Him
it is here said, "And I will fasten Him as a Nail in a sure place; and He
shall be for a glorious throne to His father's house." (v. 23) Then, in
the closing verse of the chapter we read, "In that day, saith the Lord of
hosts, shall the Nail that is fastened in a sure place be removed, and be
cut down, and fall." Just as Eliakim foreshadowed Christ, so Shebna
pointed forward to the Antichrist; and just as in v. 23 we have a
prophecy announcing the establishment of Messiah's Kingdom, so in v. 25
we have foretold the overthrow of the false messiah's kingdom.

18. The Branch of the Terrible Ones

"Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry
place; even the heat faith the shadow of a cloud; the Branch of the
terrible ones shall be brought low." (Isa. 25:5) The first five verses of
this chapter contemplate the Enemy's stronghold-Babylon-and the remainder
of the chapter pictures the blessedness of the millennial era. In the
fifth verse the Antichrist's overthrow is announced: "The Branch of the
terrible ones shall be brought low." With this should be compared Isa.
14:19, where of Lucifer it is said, "Thou art cast out of thy grave like
an abominable Branch." This points another contrast. The "Branch" is one
of the Messianic names: "Behold, I will bring forth My Servant, the
Branch" (Zech. 3:8); "Behold the man whose name is the Branch." (Zech.
6:12) By placing together Isa. 4:2 and Isa. 14:19 the antithesis will be
more evident. Of Christ it is said, "The Branch of the Lord shall be
beautiful and glorious;" Antichrist is called "an abominable Branch:"
Christ is "the Branch of the lord;" Antichrist is "the Branch of the
terrible ones."

19. The Profane and Wicked Prince of Israel

"And thou, profane wicked Prince of Israel, whose day is come, when
iniquity shall have an end, thus saith the Lord God; remove the diadem,
and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is
low, and abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn it:
and it shall be no more, until He come whose right it is; and I will give
it Him." (Ezek. 21:25-27) The Profane and Wicked Prince of Israel here
can be none other than the Antichrist, for we are expressly told that his
day shall be "when iniquity shall have an end." The reference is, of
course, to Israel's "iniquity," and their iniquity shall end at the
appearing of the Messiah (see Dan. 9:24) when "He shall be a priest upon
His throne." (Zech. 6:13) Here in Ezekiel we see how the Son of Perdition
shall ape the Christ of God, for he, too, will be a priest-king: "Remove
the diadem" refers to the insignia of his priesthood (in every other
place in the O. T. where occurs the Hebrew Lord here translated "diadem"
it is rendered "mitre"- worn only by the high priest of Israel); "take
off the crown" is the symbol of his kingship.

20. The Little Horn

"I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another
Little Horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up
by the roots: and, behold, in this Horn were eyes like the eyes of man,
and a mouth speaking great things." (Dan. 7:8) For a full description of
the Antichrist under this title see Dan. 7:8-11, 21-26; 8:9-12, 23-25. We
must reserve our comments on these verses till a later chapter. "Little
Horn" refers to the lowly political origin of the Antichrist, and
describes him as he is before he attains governmental supremacy.

21. The Prince that Shall Come

"And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for
Himself: and the people of the Prince that shall come shall destroy the
city and the sanctuary." (Dan. 9:26) This title connects the Antichrist
with the Roman Empire in its final form, and presents him as the last of
the Cedars.

22. The Vile Person

"And in his estate shall stand up a Vile Person, to whom they shall not
give the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain
the kingdom by flatteries." (Dan. 11:21) This contrasts the Antichrist
from "the Holy One of Israel." His identity is established by noting what
is predicated of him.

23. The Wilful King

"And the King shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself,
and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things
against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be
accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done." (Dan. 11:36)
The Antichrist will not only be the High Priest of the world's religion,
but he will be King supreme at the head of its government.

24. The Idol Shepherd

"For, lo, I will raise up a Shepherd in the land, which shall not visit
those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young ones, nor heal that
that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the
flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. Woe to the Idol
Shepherd that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and
upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye
shall be utterly darkened." (Zech. 11:16, 17) This is in evident contrast
from the Good Shepherd who gave His life for His sheep. The Idol Shepherd
of deluded Israel will prove himself the monster Desolator, who shall
bring upon that people the severest tribulations ever experienced by that
race.

25. The Angel of the Bottomless Pit

"And they had a king over them, which is the Angel of the bottomless pit,
whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath
his name Apollyon." (Rev. 9:11) "Abaddon" and "Apollyon" mean Destroyer.
It is the "Spoiler" of Isa. 16:4 rendered "Destroyer" in Jer. 4:7. That
his name is here given in the Hebrew and the Greek shows that he will be
connected with both the Jews and the Gentiles.

Other names of the Antichrist which the student may look up are, "The Rod
of God's anger" (Isa. 10:12); "The Unclean Spirit" (Matt. 12:43); "The
Lie" (2 Thess. 2:11); "A Star" (Rev. 8:10 and 9:1); and "The Vine of the
Earth." (Rev. 14:18)

In our next chapter we shall deal with the genius of the Antichrist, and
point out the many striking comparisons and contrasts between him and the
Christ of God. Let the student see how many points of resemblance and
opposition he can find.

. The Spirit of Error

(1 John 4:1-4 NASB)

Testing the Spirits


1 ?a?Beloved, do not believe every ?b?spirit, but test the spirits to
see whether they are from God, because ?c?many false prophets have
gone out into the world.

2 By this you know the Spirit of God: ?a?every spirit that
?b?confesses that ?c?Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;

3 and every spirit that ?a?does not confess Jesus is not from God;
this is the spirit of the ?b?antichrist, of which you have heard that it is
coming, and ?c?now it is already in the world.

4 You are from God, ?a?little children, and ?b?have overcome
them; because ?c?greater is He who is in you than ?d?he who is in the
world.

5 ?a?They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the
world, and the world listens to them.

6 ?a?We are from God; ?b?he who knows God listens to us; ?c?he
who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know ?d?the
spirit of truth and ?e?the spirit of error.

1 John 4:1

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of
God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Perfect, mature love requires discernment. Perfect love requires that we
test the spirits in order that we don't fall prey to those who would seek to
lure us away from the simplicity of the gospel. How do we test the spirits?
Read on.

1 John 4:2, 3

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 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.
If a teaching, suggestion, or thought is of the spirit of God, it will affirm
both the deity and the humanity of Christ.
The question in the early church never concerned the deity of Christ. The
debate was over His humanity. Church councils would convene in the
second century and argue vehemently over this issue because gnostic
thought had penetrated the church. Two thousand years later, however, it
is the deity of Christ that is continually called into question. John says the
Spirit of God attests to both the humanity and deity of Christ. Such is the
test by which we recognize Him.

1 John 4:4

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is
he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
The walls of the submarines that descend two miles into the Mariana
Trench of the Pacific Ocean are constructed of thick steel plates to
withstand the tremendous pressure placed upon them. But the pictures
taken from such heavily protected submarines reveal fish swimming two
miles below the surface of the water with scales no thicker than that of any
other fish. How can this be? The answer is simple: The pressure on the
inside of those fish is equal to the pressure of the water around them.
That's the beauty of Christianity. Some people erect massive walls to
insulate themselves from the attacks of the Enemy-only to find
themselves filled with the frustration of isolation. The key is not to put up
massive walls to protect you from the Enemy-but to realize the One
inside you is greater than whatever pressure threatens to attack you.
When we understand that He that is in us is greater than any temptation,
problem, trauma, or difficulty that could come against us, we can move
through life freely.
[2]

THE NEED TO DISCERN BETWEEN TRUTH AND ERROR (4:1-6)

4:1 Having mentioned the Holy Spirit, John is reminded that there are
other spirits abroad in the world today, and that the children of God need
to be warned against them. Thus he cautions the believer not to trust every
spirit. The word spirit here probably refers primarily to teachers but not
exclusively so. Just because a man speaks about the Bible, God, and
Jesus does not mean that he is a true child of God. We are to test the
spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone
out into the world. These are people who profess to accept Christianity,
but teach another gospel altogether.

4:2 John gives the actual tests by which these men are to be proven. The
great test of a teacher is, "What do you think of Christ?" Every spirit that
confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God. It is not so
much the confession of the historical fact, namely that Jesus was born into
the world in a human body, but rather it is the confession of a living
Person, Jesus Christ come in the flesh. It is the confession that
acknowledges Jesus as the Christ Incarnate. And confessing Him means
bowing to Him as Lord of one's life. Now if you ever hear a person
presenting the Lord Jesus as the true Christ of God, you will know that he
is speaking by the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God calls on men to
acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and to commit their lives to Him. The
Holy Spirit always glorifies Jesus.

4:3 And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in
the flesh is not of God.? 5 This is how you can detect the false teachers.
They do not confess the Jesus who was described in the previous verse.
This is the spirit of the Antichrist, which has been prophesied and which is
now already in the world. There are many today who are willing to say
acceptable things about Jesus, but they will not confess Him as God
Incarnate. They will say that Christ is "divine," but not that He is God.

4:4 Humble believers are able to overcome these false teachers because
they have the Holy Spirit within them, and this enables them to detect
error and to refuse to listen to it.

(1 Corinthians 2:9-16 NASB)

9 but just as it is written,
"?a?Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,
And which have not entered the heart of man,
All that God has prepared for those who love Him."[4]

10 ?1??a?For to us God revealed them ?b?through the Spirit; for the
Spirit searches all things, even the ?c?depths of God.

11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the
?a?spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one
knows except the Spirit of God.

12 Now we ?a?have received, not the spirit of ?b?the world, but the
Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us
by God,

13 which things we also speak, ?a?not in words taught by human
wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, ?1?combining spiritual thoughts
with spiritual words.

14 But ?1?a ?a?natural man ?b?does not accept the things of the Spirit
of God, for they are ?c?foolishness to him; and he cannot understand
them, because they are spiritually ?2?appraised.

15 But he who is ?a?spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is
appraised by no one.

16 For ?a?who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct
Him? But ?b?we have the mind of Christ.[5]

2:9 These words from Is. 64:4, often incorrectly thought to refer to the
wonders of heaven, refer rather to the wisdom God has prepared for
believers. God's truth is not discoverable by eye or ear (objective,
empirical evidence), nor is it discovered by the mind (subjective, rational
conclusions).

In addition to this being a reference to heaven, I believe Paul is saying
even this side of heaven, we as believers see things others don't and know
things others can't because the Spirit reveals to us the big picture
eternally.[6]

2:10-16 The wisdom that saves, which man's wisdom can't know, is
revealed to us by God. He makes it known by revelation, inspiration, and
illumination. Revelation (vv. 10, 11) and inspiration (vv. 12, 13) were
given to those who wrote the Bible; illumination (vv. 14-16) is given to all
believers who seek to know and understand that divinely written truth. In
each case, the Holy Spirit is the divine agent doing the work (cf. 2 Pet.
1:21).

2:10 God has revealed them. By the Holy Spirit, God disclosed His
saving truth (cf. Matt. 11:25; 13:10-13). The Spirit alone was qualified
because He knows all that God knows, Himself being God. to us. As with
the "we's" in vv. 6, 7 and vv. 12, 13, Paul is, first of all, speaking of
himself (as in John 14:26; 15:26, 27; see notes there), and, in a sense, of
believers who have been given the Word as recorded by the apostles and
their associates who wrote the NT.

Who knows what God is doing? Only the Spirit of God-the same Spirit
given to us (John 14:16). The Spirit of God reveals to His people that
which human eyes can't see, that which human ears don't hear.[7]

2:12 we have received. The "we" and "us" refer to the apostles and other
writers of the Word of God. The means was inspiration (see notes on 2
Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:20, 21), by which God freely gave the gift of His
Word. It was this process of inspiration that turned the spiritual thoughts
into spiritual words (v. 13) to give life (cf. Matt. 4:4).

We see things others don't. We hear things others can't because the Holy
Spirit ministers to our spirits concerning spiritual truth. As a result, we
look at the world around us entirely differently. For example, the spiritual
man says, "No matter what the forecasters are predicting economically,
the Scriptures tell me God shall supply all my need, according to His
riches" (see Philippians 4:19). So, too, when the news anchors tell us the
Middle East is heating up and that conflict is about to erupt once more, I
already know what the political pundits can only guess at-that the armies
of the world will indeed converge upon the Middle East and that there will
be a battle ultimately.[8]

2:14 natural man. This refers to the unconverted, who lack supernatural
life and wisdom. Spiritually discerned. Through illumination of the Word,
the Holy Spirit provides His saints the capacity to discern divine truth (see
Ps. 119:18), which the spiritually dead are unable to comprehend (cf.
John 5:37-39; see notes on 1 John 2:20, 27). The doctrine of illumination
does not mean we know everything (cf. Deut. 29:29), that we do not
need teachers (cf. Eph. 4:11, 12), or that understanding does not require
hard work (cf. 2 Tim. 2:15).

The natural man goes to Food 4 Less and buys all-natural salad dressing
and naturally grown tomatoes. When a lady pushes her way in front of him
in the checkout line, it's only natural that he gets upset. After ringing up his
groceries, the checker accidentally gives him too much change. He keeps
it, naturally. Then he comes home and does what comes naturally: He
eats, drinks, and is somewhat merry-until the emptiness in his soul drives
him to look for something else. So he comes to a Bible study. He hears
the Word being taught, the Scriptures being discussed, but they are
foolishness to him because, as a natural man, he is spiritually blind.

The idea that man is a free moral agent is somewhat of a misconception.
Paul told Timothy that men are taken captive by the Enemy against their
wills, as they are blinded and bound by Satan (2 Timothy 2:26). That is
why when the natural man hears the Word, it's foolishness to him.

Much of our witnessing is ineffective because we fail to pray, "Lord,
please remove the blindfold Satan has put on this person's eyes.
Otherwise, he won't see the real issues. Please open his ears. Otherwise,
He won't hear Your voice."[9]

2:15 judged by no one. Obviously, unbelievers are able to recognize
Christians' faults and shortcomings; but they are not able to evaluate their
true nature as spiritual people who have been transformed into children of
God (cf. 1 John 3:2).

Although the spiritual man is able to put everything in perspective, the
worldling can't figure him out. The world can't understand why you go to
Bible study, why you have devotions, why you spend time in worship.
You're a puzzle, an enigma, a dilemma to the unbeliever.[10]

2:16 the mind of Christ. Quoted from Is. 40:13. The same word is
translated "understanding" in 14:14, 15, 19. Believers are allowed, by the
Word and the Spirit, to know the thoughts of their Lord. Cf. Luke
24:45.[11]

Six Liars

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we
lie and do not practice the truth. -1 John 1:6

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His truth is
not in us. -1 John 1:10

He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar,
and the truth is not in him. -1 John 2:4

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist,
that denieth the Father and the Son. -1 John 2:22

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that
loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom
he hath not seen? -1 John 4:20

He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself; he that
believeth not God hath made God a liar; because he believeth not the
record that God gave of his Son. -1 John 5:10

John always includes a "key" to his writings, which will "unlock" their
meaning: Revelation 1:19 is its outline; John 20:31 is the specific purpose
of his Gospel; and, 1 John has 4 (times 7?) keys, all identified by the
phrase, "These things I write..."

"1 John" is more like a written sermon, a further development of the
themes in 2 John. We have left it to the last as the climax of the series.

==

Another Approach

1 John 4:1-6[12]

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but ?a?test the spirits, whether they
are of God; because ?b?many false prophets have gone out into the
world. ?2? By this you know the Spirit of God: ?c?Every spirit that
confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, ?3? and every
spirit that does not confess ?1?that Jesus ?2?Christ has come in the flesh
is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have
heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
?4? You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He
who is in you is greater than ?d?he who is in the world. ?5? ?e?They are
of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and ?f?the world
hears them. ?6? We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is
not of God does not hear us. ?g?By this we know the spirit of truth and
the spirit of error.

Verse Interpretation

4:1 Beloved, This term is used to exclusively represent the people of God.
do not believe every spirit. Looking back one verse to (1 John 3:24), the
mention of the Holy Spirit prompts John to inform his readers that those
other spirits exist, in the form of demonic spirits, who produce false
prophets and false teachers to propagate their false doctrine.

His readers would understand his point; Jewish people were familiar with
the idea of other spirits besides the Spirit of God. There were many
pagans in Asia Minor, as well as Jewish mystics claiming special
revelations; the need for discernment would be acute.[13]

? but ?a?test the spirits, Apply 1 Cor 14:29 ( 29? Let two or three
prophets speak, and ?t?let the others judge.[14] ). Also we are to be like
the Bereans and apply Acts 17:11 (?11? These were more ?4?fair-
minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all
readiness, and ?l?searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these
things were so.[15] ). Whatever anyone says who claims to be speaking
for the Lord must be tested by the Word of God.[16]

The word "test" is a term used for assaying metals to determine their
purity and value. Christians must test any teaching with a view to
approving or disapproving it rigorously comparing any teaching to the
Scripture. the spirits . many false prophets.


By juxtaposing "spirits" with "false prophets" John reminds his
readers that behind human teachers who propagate false
doctrine and error are demons inspired by Satan. Human false
prophets and teachers are the physical expressions of demonic,
spiritual sources.

(Matt. 7:15; Mark 13:22)
[17]

It soon becomes clear that false teachers are causing trouble in the
community to which the author is writing (1 John 2:27; 4:1). These the
author labels as "antichrists" (1 John 2:18) and "false prophets". The
strength of these labels for the author's opponents indicates both the
depth of his feeling about them and also the seriousness of their departure
from the apostolic teaching about Jesus.

4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God. John gives a measuring stick to
determine whether the teacher or Pastor of the message is a demon spirit
or the Holy Spirit.

The tests are:

· Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. This is the first test of a true
teacher: they acknowledge and proclaim that Jesus is God incarnate in
human flesh.

o Is the Virgin Birth important? It is essential!

· Failure to confess Jesus reveals that one is not of God. By their
refusal to confess the truth about Jesus, these false prophets now
reveal their true colors.

· John is fervent about the crucial importance of sound doctrine
expressed in God's Word as the only absolute and trustworthy
standard, as Gnostic thought had penetrated the church.

4:3 the spirit of the Antichrist. These false teachers who denied the true
nature of the Son are to be identified among the antichrists in 1 John
2:28,29.

· Both the full humanity and full deity of Jesus must be equally
maintained by the teacher or Pastor who is to be considered genuinely of
the Spirit. The Holy Spirit testifies to the true nature of the Son,
while Satan and his forces distort and deny that true nature.

o Third reference to the spirit of "antichrist" (1 John 2:18, 22).

The same demonic deception that will work to produce the
final world who rules as the false Christ is always actively
seeking to distort Jesus Christ's true nature, perverting the
gospel. The final Antichrist will not be something new,
but will be the ultimate embodiment of all the antichrist spirits
that have perverted truth and propagated satanic lies since the
beginning.
[18]

· Both the full humanity and full deity of Jesus must be equally
maintained by the teacher who is to be considered genuinely of the
Spirit. The Holy Spirit testifies to the true nature of the
Son, while Satan and his forces distort and deny that true nature.

o Third reference to the spirit of "antichrist" (1 John 2:18, 22).

4:4 He who is in you is greater. Believers need to be aware and alert to
false teaching, but not afraid, since those who have experienced the new
birth with its indwelling of the Holy Spirit have a built-in check against
false teaching. The Holy Spirit leads into sound doctrine for genuine
Christians evidencing that salvation has actually occurred. (Rom. 8:16-17
states ?16? ?w?The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we
are children of God, ?17? and if children, then ?x?heirs-heirs of God
and joint heirs with Christ, ?y?if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may
also be glorified together.[19]).

True believers have nothing to fear, for even Satan's hosts with
their perversions can't take them out of the Lord's hand.
Protection against error or victory over it are guaranteed by
sound doctrine and the indwelling Holy Spirit who
illumines the mind.
[20]

Satan has two strategies:

· Deny his existence; or
· Overemphasize his capabilities.

4:5 they speak as of the world . He who knows God hears us. John
gives another test of a true teacher:

· They speak God's word, and follow sound doctrine.

There are two Spirits, and every act is determined by either the spirit of
truth or the spirit of error.

4:6 By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. The OT and
NT are the sole standards by which all teaching is to be tested. In
contrast, demonically inspired teachers either reject the teaching of God's
Word or add elements to it (as the apostle Paul writes in: 2 Cor. 4:2; and
John in Rev. 22:18,19).

This is similar parallelism to what Jesus had to say: (?25? Jesus answered
them, "?I told you, and you do not believe. ?u?The works that I do in My
Father's name, they ?v?bear witness of Me. ?26? But ?w?you do not
believe, because you are not of My sheep, ?5?as I said to you. ?27?
?x?My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.)[21]

Those who are like-minded and affirm the world's message are from the
world, and, likewise, those who affirm the message that Christ came in the
flesh are of God. Whoever "knows God listens to us," and he is attracted
to John's message because of his abiding commitment and relationship to
the true God.

==

ERROR

The Hebrew words translated "error" suggest inadvertent sins and
wandering. The NT concept is expressed in the Greek word
plane, derived from a root that also means "to wander." The
biblical image is of a person who has lost his way and is deluded
or deceived about reality.
James puts Scripture's view of truth and error in perspective in the
last verses of his letter: "My brothers, if one of you should wander
from the truth and someone should bring him back, remember this:
Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him
from death and cover over a multitude of sins" (Jas 5:19-20).[22]

==
Satan has sought to distort and deny God's Word, and is behind all false
teachers and false doctrine. John gives two doctrinal tests to determine
truth from error and false teachers from true teachers.

Satan has become an obvious reality and is now worshiped openly. Much
of this is taking place on or near our college campuses. What a few years
ago was considered to be way out in left field today exists out in the open.
A report came from Florida that a young boy of only seventeen years of
