The Antichrist

Special marks

The prophet Daniel gives us signs and marks of this man, which cannot be overlooked. He is also referred as being king. His palace in comparison to other kings’ palaces is even more esteemed. In chapter 11, from verse 36, we read the following thoughts, which are being expressed, “…he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper…” The same wording and thoughts we have come across a number of times. This man simply exalts himself above everything and says what he likes, and he will be successful. Further on we read, “Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god…” (verse 37). God has let us know the marks of this man so precisely that even the most simple person should not miss it. The Lord has invented marriage, but this man rejects it, and therefore, rejects the God-given order. It says about him, that he shall not be concerned about the love of women. This Daniel wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Paul with his prophetic insight took up the theme in his letter to his co-worker Timothy. He writes about the teachings, the doctrines, which derive from demons and are caused by spirits which lead astray, and then he quickly comes to the centre of the matter with these words, “…forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods…” (I Tim. 4: 3). Once again it should be emphasised that the Lord has installed marriage, which this man is against for him and for the ones who serve him. The Lord said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help fit for him” (Gen. 2: 18). The teaching about the celibacy might appear very religious, but in the unfailing Word of God it is being described as a heresy, coming from demons. Please remember: Whosoever is against the Word, which means “anti-Word”, the same one is “anti-Christ”, because Christ is the Word.

To the church in Corinth Paul wrote, “Have we no right to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?” (I Cor. 9: 5). Here it is mentioned that even the brothers of Jesus, that means those who came out of the holy wedlock of Mary and Joseph, had wives. In this context, Mt. 1: 25 needs to be considered where it states that Joseph, “knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son; and he called his name Jesus.” So after the birth of Jesus, Joseph knew Mary according to this holy Word of God. She was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, but she certainly is not a virgin today. In the gospels, the names of the brethren are repeatedly mentioned. In Mt. 13: 55, we have them all listed like this: “James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas.” This contradicts very plainly the old legend that Mary had no other children, and this legend is being kept up because of the cult practised with Mary. Amongst the 120 who were in the upper room was also Mary, the mother of Jesus, and His brethren (Acts 1: 14).

From the head of this system we read further, “But in his estate shall he honour the god of fortresses; and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things” (Dan. 11: 38). The formulation that he will honour the god of fortresses, speaks about wars and destruction that this religious power stands behind. The history testifies about the crusades, about religious wars, about destructions which were done in the name of God under the sign of the Cross. To make the connection very plain, the mentioning of gold, silver and precious stones is not left out. The god, as he has made him, is certainly not the God whom his forefathers worshipped. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a totally different God.
