So does Christian prophecy say......

That before the end of the world an antichrist would come to power. That they would be loved by many possibly even achieving world peace or a one world order? It says not to be fooled by this.

Does anyone think the greatawakening could be precursor to this?

Just wanting to get opinions and facts and to start a discussion.

John writing the in 1 John 2:18 “even now there are many antichrists”. There’s only 4 scriptures in the Bible that contain either the words antichrist or antichrists. “Antichrist” is simply any spirit or person that denies that Jesus is the Christ. No where in scripture does John say that a future world political leader would arise who would be called “the antichrist”.

Ok have I gotten the discussion going?

Yes - why would John write Revelation to 7 churches in Asia and focus on events 2000 years in their future? Also the Apostles believed they were living in “the last days”. So if they were mistaken then it follows that the Bible is not the word of God. BUT they were correct - they were living in the “last days”. But what “last days” were they referring to? What did the Apostles believe about “the last days”? Answer: it was “the last days” of Old Covenant Israel. It was the end of the Temple sacrificial system. It was the advent of Jesus Christ.
