The Final Antichrist

Book excerpt: There are many questions which arise regarding this figure known as "Antichrist." Is it a force, a religious system, or an actual person who is in view? If it is a person, is he a mere human being, or is he a supernatural character, perhaps even the offspring of the devil himself! Has this person already appeared on the stage of history, or should we expect to see him in the future? What does the Bible have to say about these questions? These matters have been debated throughout the centuries. Indeed, there is tremendous curiosity and fascination among believers and non-believers alike on this subject of Antichrist. Fortunately, the Bible gives us much detail about the origin, background, evil character, inglorious career and eventual doom of the coming final Antichrist, the coming Caesar. This book will look at what Scripture has to say about this personage. Our goal is to discover exactly how we should understand the biblical references to the Antichrist. Our Focus Is Upon Jesus The ultimate goal, however, is not to focus on Antichrist, but rather upon Jesus Christ. Antichrist will appear for only a short time while our relationship with Jesus Christ will last forever. Consequently, we should always have this eternal perspective as we study this subject. With this in mind, let us now look at what the Bible has to say about "The Final Antichrist: The Coming Caesar."
